The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 233 233. Natural chasm

“The military advisor has been prepared for this?”

Luo Hong only saw a faint smile, "Of course, I never fight an unprepared battle, right? If it were Prince Ding who came today, this plan might be seen through, but if it were the Ninth Prince who was so happy with his success, it wouldn't be enough. Consider it."

Stand tall and tall, he is also wearing the unique clothing of Beidi people.

He has been in Beidi for several years. Although he has tanned a lot and his body has become much stronger, he is still from the south at heart, full of scheming, and not as upright and open-minded as the Beidi people.

However, due to his strategy, Di Rong has grown to this day and unified the grasslands, which is something that none of the ancestors have ever achieved.

 That's why I believed his words and stayed here for nearly two months without attacking.

God knows how much effort he spent just to suppress the tribal leaders who were dissatisfied with the siege. Now that the war is about to begin, all the tribes are eager to try. Who would have thought that the five thousand forwards sent out were just broken at the foot of Liangzhou City, and only a few of them escaped back. They no longer have the ability to fight.

How can he sit still under such circumstances?

Seeing the eagerness of King Koda, Luo Hong secretly cursed mediocrity in his heart.

 But he had no choice but to have a suitable identity to appear here, so he could only assist King Keda and use Beidi's troops to help him expand his territory.

After the city of Dajin was breached, he would naturally have a way to replace it.

At that time, the army that is completely loyal to him can fight against King Ding's army. He has not forgotten the grudges he had with King Ding over the years.

He felt happy when he thought that his great revenge was about to be avenged, and that the days of hiding in Tibet for so many years would finally come to an end.

 But at times like this, we couldn’t afford to be careless, so we spoke to King Kodak again.

“Don’t worry, Your Majesty, we are waiting for the reinforcements to arrive now, and we should cooperate with each other from the inside and outside. This Liangzhou city will definitely be destroyed before dawn!”

Luo Hong spoke firmly, which aroused the bloodthirsty mood of King Koda, and said greedily in the direction of Liangzhou, "Okay, then all the treasures, beauties, food and cloth in Liangzhou will be ours." It’s from Beidi.”

 Several of King Koda's followers in the tent were also very excited when they heard this.

 The night is getting darker and darker, and everything is silent.

After a whole day of fighting, the city defenders were very tired, but they did not dare to be negligent in taking turns to change the guard. No one knew when Beidi would come again. If they didn't watch carefully, I'm afraid everyone would come to the city. They didn't react until they were in a corner.

 In the armory in the city, He Qiu was counting the number of crossbow arrows.

Archers took turns going into battle all day long. Although they effectively prevented the Beidi people from attacking, they only had less than a thousand crossbows left.

With a thousand of them, I'm afraid they won't be able to sustain even one round of attack. If they don't have crossbows in hand, they might not be able to stop the Beidi people's cavalry. They grew up on horses. No matter how well they raised their horses, they were also quick to dodge. If the bow and arrow were broken, the Beidi people would be able to rush to the city wall very quickly.

The walls of Liangzhou City were made of mud mixed with glutinous rice. They were strong and durable, but they were also afraid of being surrounded by water.

Considering that Beidi might use water attack methods to make their city walls soaked and unable to resist, Xiao Ji had sent people to secretly apply waterproof paint, which might be able to resist.

Xiao Ji looked at the mottled night sky, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more obvious.

I don’t know if the soldier who sent the message can bring back reinforcements, let alone when the reinforcements will arrive.

Dozens of miles away, Xiao Muqian was heading towards Liangzhou City with 50,000 Jeju troops at high speed.

 The whistling wind blew onto his face along with bits of sand. After feeling the rough texture, Xiao Muqian gradually felt at ease.

Liangzhou City is a typical arid city. There are only a few wells in the city for the use of city residents, so it is normal for the wind to be filled with sand and mud. The more obvious and sharp the touch, the closer it is to Liangzhou. He is used to it, but that does not mean that the Jeju soldiers behind him are also used to it.

 After all, we trained our troops in the Central Plains, and the climate conditions are much better than those in the northwest.

The cavalry was in front and the infantry was behind. The sand and gravel rolled up wherever they went confused many soldiers, so the march gradually slowed down.

The night is charming. It’s not too cold in the northwest in March, but the wind blowing at night still makes people want to pull up their clothes.

“General, it’s really difficult to travel at night. Could you please let everyone rest where they are for an hour before we can start again?”

 The proposal was made by Cheng Xiaowei of the Jeju Army. He was over forty years old. He was decent and courageous, and was highly respected in the army.

"The situation in Liangzhou City is critical. If you delay for one more hour, the danger may increase. I understand what Colonel Cheng means, but this is really not a good time to rest!"

Xiao Muqian refused, but the speed of riding the horse slowed down a little.

 Turning around and looking at the exhausted Jeju Army behind him, he felt really resentful of Emperor Qi's arrangement.

The Central Plains Army is different from the Northwest Army. Without the experience of the wind and sand in the border towns, it seems a bit squeamish in comparison.

If it were the city defenders under the second uncle's command, they would have to march in a hurry for three days and three nights.

In the darkness of the night, several of the infantry who couldn't see the road clearly accidentally fell down, and then fell all over again. They were all panting and unwilling to get up once they stopped.

 Xiao Muqian frowned and was about to say something when he was stopped by the deputy general next to him.

The deputy general had been with General Su for many years, his surname was Zhen, and he had the calmest temperament. General Su had specially arranged for him to come and follow Xiao Muqian, in order to remind him not to be impatient.

General Su has also spent time in the northwest and the Central Plains. He knows a lot about the soldiers in both places. Lieutenant General Zhen has followed him for many years, so he naturally has some tricks up his sleeve.

“General, we have been on the road for a long time, and we have indeed reached our limit. How about we let the army slow down here first, and the general will explore the road with you first?”

 Let both sides step down. Vice General Zhen is General Su’s confidant. He can’t refute directly, so he said.

“Then rest for a while and set off immediately when we come back from exploring the road!”

"yes!"

 After receiving the order to rest, the men and horses of the Jeju Army could finally stop for a while.

On the contrary, the three captains sent by King Ding were quite disdainful, and one of them was very slanderous in his heart.

This idea is not enough to stop the King of Ding's army. The Jeju army is really of no use.

 With an army of 200,000 and I don't know if it can defeat 20,000 King Ding's army!

There was a contemptuous attitude in his eyes, but he did not rest at his feet. The three men led the team and dispersed around as a warning.

 Ahead, Xiao Muqian and Lieutenant General Zhen galloped their horses and whipped their horses, and soon arrived at the bank of Lanshui River.

 At night, the river was very calm. The moon was projected on it, making the water sparkling.

Liangzhou and Ganzhou are separated by a hundred miles, but they are divided into two places by this river.
