Reborn from the bottom of the coffin, the miracle doctor and the ugly concubine fight against the wo

Chu Zhao asked Yun Qi to stay temporarily to take care of the child, and he and Zhang Xingzhou returned to the camp immediately.

Several elderly people who were originally despondent, but because of a little life that was saved by accident, their hope of life was rekindled and they assured Chu Zhao that they would definitely raise this child well.

Back at the camp, it was completely dark, and Qi Fengshan was waiting anxiously at the intersection.

Hearing that Chu Zhao was going to send troops to relieve the siege of Yongcheng, Qi Fengshan hesitated for a moment.

"The purpose of our trip is to enter Beijing safely. It's dark and the road is far away, and we don't know the strength of the opponent's troops. Do we really want to take the risk?"

Chu Zhao was at the peak of his anger at this time. He just wanted to kill the enemy and didn't want to talk nonsense with anyone.

But the Jingnan Army's military talisman was in Qi Fengshan's hands, so she had to be patient and reason with him:

"I have just asked the villagers, and the number of the other party is about a few thousand. They kill them all the way. They pass through villages and slaughter villages, and when they encounter cities, they massacre them. Young girls are captured and used as camp tricks, and young men are forcibly recruited into their ranks. The rest They were all killed, and only a few survived.

If such a group of people is not wiped out in time, not only will more innocent people die in their hands, but once their team grows to a certain size, it will be twice as difficult to clean them up. "

"Isn't there still a government office and a court?" Qi Fengshan said, "Fang Guanru's son-in-law happens to be the commander-in-chief guarding Huguang. They should send troops for this kind of thing."

Chu Zhao was speechless and stopped to look at him: "So what you are saying is that only after the prince achieves his great cause, those people will be his subjects. Before the great cause is accomplished, there is no need to care about their life and death, right?"

Qi Fengshan choked and quickly denied: "That's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean?" Chu Zhao said, "I know you want to say that people who make big things happen don't stick to trivial matters, but have you ever thought that if you don't kill those people now, they will join the prince when they become a big deal in the future? Those who compete for the world, do you think it’s better to nip your enemies in the bud, or wait until they grow into towering trees and then laboriously cut them down?”

"..." Qi Fengshan was speechless.

Although Chu Zhao said it was to eliminate competitors for the prince in advance, he knew in his heart that Chu Zhao's ultimate goal was to save the people of the county.

He himself is not a cold-blooded person who has no regard for life. He is just being cautious and not wanting to cause trouble.

Since the princess wants to be beaten, let’s do it!

If this battle can be won, it can also give the Jingnan Army a good reputation and let people all over the world know that the Jingnan Army is an army that eliminates harm for the people.

With this thought in mind, he took out the military talisman from his arms and presented it to Chu Zhao solemnly: "The princess is right. Even if the prince does not ascend to a high position, he cannot ignore the lives of the people. Please lead the entire Jingnan army to Qing Dynasty." Suppress the bandits and save the people of Yongcheng from fire and water."

Chu Zhao fixedly looked at him and stretched out his hand to take the military talisman: "Since you trust me, sir, I will live up to your trust. Just now, my words were excessive. I will apologize to you over wine after the siege of Yongcheng is resolved."

Qi Fengshan's blood boiled with passion at her words, and heroic pride arose spontaneously.

"I will go with the princess. Even if I can't go into battle to kill the enemy, I still have to watch the princess and the Jingnan army behead the enemy with my own eyes."

"Okay, let's go together." Chu Zhao nodded, turned around and told Zhang Xingzhou: "General Zhang, quickly summon all the ministries to come to my tent to discuss a rescue plan."

"Yes." Zhang Xingzhou clasped his fists in response, with the same blood surging in his chest.

There was a bonfire burning in the camp, and the flames were hunted by the night wind. At the same time, it also illuminated the slender figure of the woman in front of her. She was still wearing blood-stained clothes. Her jade-like face showed an unprecedented determination, as if A female general who has fought countless bloody battlefields.

But she has obviously never had the experience of leading an army before, and for some reason it gives people the illusion that as long as she stands in front of the formation, she will be the leader of everyone, and wherever her sword points, it will be thousands of people. The direction where thousands of troops are fighting.

Half an hour later, four thousand Jingnan troops were fully equipped and marched towards Yongcheng at full speed in the night. There were still one thousand left to guard the camp to guard their food, grass and baggage.

This Jingnan Army was the elite selected by Murong Xiao from the [-] light cavalry troops. Not only did everyone ride a horse, but their combat capabilities were all at the top level. When they sent troops to Wusu last time, they attacked the Wusu troops at night many times. camp.

It can be seen that although Murong Xiao does not completely trust Chu Zhao, he is still very concerned about her safety.

Although Qi Fengshan handed over the military talisman to Chu Zhao, he still felt uneasy. It was the first time that the Qingqi Battalion was dispatched by Chu Zhao. He didn't know what would happen if they cooperated?

Fortunately, there is also Zhang Xingzhou. The last time Zhang Xingzhou fought against Wusul, he also led [-] light cavalry to fight in a roundabout way. Many of the soldiers selected this time were the same people he led last time. There should be some tacit understanding. of.

I hope God will bless this battle smoothly. If something goes wrong, he really doesn't know how to explain it to the prince.

Your father-in-law is also worried.

He was ordered by the Queen Mother and the Elder to pick up Princess Jingnan to Beijing. If something went wrong along the way, he would not be able to escape his involvement.

He didn't want to worry about soldiers, bandits, or the people. He just wanted to bring the princess to the Queen Mother in peace and safety.

After he handed over this mission, the princess would have nothing to do with him, let alone going to suppress the bandits, or even destroying the Golden Palace.

Unfortunately, what he wanted to do was his own, but Princess Jingnan ignored her at all. His words were worn out, and he did not stop the princess from leading the troops.

God bless, anyone can die, but don't let anything happen to the princess, otherwise even if the Queen Mother can spare him, Mr. Xiao Ge will skin him and light up the lantern in the sky.

Thinking of Mr. Xiaoge's methods of punishing people, he, an eunuch who was used to the torture in the palace, couldn't help but shudder.

By the way, Xiaoge always pays so much attention to Princess Jingnan, why not come in person? If he were here, Princess Jingnan would not dare to act arbitrarily.

Your father-in-law thought that the only one in the world who could cure Princess Jingnan was Xiaoge Lao.

……

The night was as dark as ink, without stars or moon. The small county town that was supposed to sleep peacefully in the quiet night was now in chaos.

An army came from nowhere outside the city and surrounded the county seat with great force, trying to break into the city.

The magistrate led the city guards to guard the city gate. However, the number of officers and soldiers was limited and they lacked combat experience. After desperately resisting two enemy charges, there were not many left.

Under the light of the fire, the city tower was full of soldiers who had fallen to the ground after being hit by arrows, and the blood stained the city bricks red.

The remaining wounded soldiers and generals still stood at each crenel, using their flesh and blood to fight the enemy in the final battle.

They know that they will die eventually, but they cannot retreat because there are their wives, children, children, and their fathers and fellow villagers in the city.

The magistrate, who was over fifty years old, also picked up the knife. The official robe on his body was dirty and torn, and his original appearance could no longer be seen.

"Hold on, hold on, the reinforcements will come soon." He shouted and encouraged the soldiers in a hoarse voice. In fact, he knew in his heart that the reinforcements probably would not come.

Before it got dark, he had already written several letters asking for help and sent them to the neighboring counties, cities and state capitals. It was already the third watch, and before he saw a single soldier coming, he knew that no one would come. .

Today's Yong County is an isolated city.

But even if they are an isolated city, they will not let the enemy break open the city gate until they fight to the last moment.

The lights in the city were bright, and the people were running around in panic, crying and wailing. The brave ones went to the city gates again and again to inquire about news, while the timid ones hugged each other and cried helplessly.

"We can't hold it anymore, we really can't hold it anymore..." The man who inquired about the news ran and shouted, "The magistrate is all injured, and there is almost no one on the tower..."

After hearing such news, the people cried even more loudly.

But what's the use of crying? The enemy won't give up siege just because you cry, let alone stop killing just because you're afraid.

"Let's go too, leave the women and children at home, and we'll guard the city gate." Someone raised their arms and shouted amidst the crying, "We can't escape anyway, maybe we can hold on until the reinforcements arrive!"

"It doesn't matter if we die, as long as the children live."

"Yes, that's right. I can't survive anyway, so I might as well kill a few thieves and it will be a worthy death."

"Come on, let's go together, pick up the guy and guard the city gate."

Amid the commotion and shouting, the young and middle-aged men spontaneously picked up various farm tools and ran towards the city gate, completely ignoring their wives and children crying behind them.

It's not that he doesn't care, it's just because he wants to protect them that he can only fight to the death.

The crowd surged onto the tower like a tide, startling the injured magistrate.

"What are you doing?"

"We have to defend the city. We will defend Yongcheng together with the adults." The people shouted.

Tears welled up in the magistrate's eyes and he loudly rebuked: "What nonsense, you are dying in vain, why don't you go back quickly."

"Everyone is dead on the left and right. It's a shame to die at home."

"Yes, we will die on the tower."

When the county magistrate saw that they didn't listen, he stamped his feet anxiously.

Suddenly, the enemy troops below the city stopped shooting arrows at the city tower, and all turned around and rushed in the opposite direction.

Everyone was puzzled at first, and then they saw brightly lit torches in the distance, as if a group of people were coming, and deafening shouts of killing came along with the wind.

"It's reinforcements, right?"

"Is it reinforcements?"

"Sir, has someone come to save us?" The people looked at the magistrate in surprise.

The magistrate himself was confused. He looked ahead and murmured: "What's going on? Are there really reinforcements?"

"What does it mean that there are real reinforcements? Sir, didn't you say that reinforcements will be coming soon?" the people asked.

The magistrate's eyes averted, but his face became obviously relaxed: "I was lying to you."
