Born short-lived

"Your Highness." In the night, a scout ran up to Dong Sheng lightly, and pointed to the city gate not far from the forest, "I just checked, and it's time to switch defenses."

The moonlight cast the shadow of the tree on Dong Sheng's face, and as soon as the wind blew, it made his expression dark and unclear.

"Advanced team, archers cover."

After all, Dong Sheng glanced sideways at Zhuo Yiming, who was so nervous that his hand holding the knife was trembling faintly, but this little boy didn't want to look too hopeless, so he pretended to be calm with a tense face look like.

At that time, he said that he would bring Zhuo Yiming, but Li Chongwen and Wang Sheng talked about it all afternoon, saying that he was the orphan of Zhuo Feng, the coach of the Northern Territory, after all, and there was no room for loss.

And Dong Sheng said that when he was Zhuo Yiming's age, Zeng Fenglei had already forced him to be a scout.He still remembered that the old reckless man had said that children were small in stature and would not be easy to be discovered, so he asked Chu Jun Huaxu, who was only ten years old, to spy on the enemy - now that he thought about it, Dong Sheng felt that he was really alive even now. not easy.

But Dong Sheng really didn't intend to take risks with the only male of Zhuo's family, so he also specially instructed Zhuo Yiming to stay in the woods and be guarded by Yun Xiao during the siege.

He just wanted this so-called queen general to really see what a battlefield is. After all, marching and fighting is not enough to read military books.

The Sha'an people told them to cut off the food and grass, and they haven't been replenished until now.According to the reports of the spies, these burly Sha'an men have been drinking porridge for more than ten days, but just yesterday, their food and grass were only enough for the officers.

The lack of food for the march was a major issue, and the Luoche Department immediately reported it to their emperor, and the next batch of food and grass should arrive soon.

So this raid must end before their next batch of food arrives.

The two hundred soldiers with the best skills selected from the army were the first to wear black armor, and ran up to the city wall of Shuikou Pass without a sound, and threw the hook rope to the top of the wall.

The little soldier on night watch in Sha'an also seemed to have noticed some abnormal noise, and couldn't wake up his sleeping companion, so he had to go out from the corner of the building where he was dozing secretly to check.

But as soon as he raised his head, he could barely see the iron hook on the wall and a black shadow climbing up quickly, and was shot down by an arrow from an archer covering in the distant woods.

The Huaxu people hadn't made much of a move in the past few months, but as soon as they sent out their troops, they took down three cities in one night.The Luo Che stationed in the northwest couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly dispatched a large number of people to the east, and the heavy white crystal psionic weapon that Dong Sheng had stockpiled in Daumaguan also arrived at the front line before the evening of the next day.

And when the Sha'an people came to attack the city, they thought they could catch them off guard while they were exhausted, but they never expected that in just one day, the city gate that Dong Sheng had captured would have an extremely complete deployment.

This kind of efficiency is rarely seen even by Luo Che who has conquered for many years. After all, just transporting and arranging those heavy white crystal spirit weapons can consume a whole day, let alone restore the lost morale.

So the arrival of Luo Che's troop was actually in the hands of Dong Sheng.

In order not to repeat the same mistakes, Luo Che still sits in the northwest, and only sent his deputy to crusade.Before leaving, he also specially instructed that Hua Xu's coach is good at using traps and ambushes, so he must not rush in.

But Dong Sheng thought, this person must be aggressive.

"Are you so sure they can take the bait?" Xiangsheng glanced at the ruins-filled northern desert outside the city gate, and there was a strange silence in the night, "Luo Che has suffered from your loss."

Dong Sheng held a cup of freshly brewed tea in his hand. The teacup had a moderate thickness, which was just right for warming his hands, and this warmth also relieved the raging pain in his head a lot.

He didn't know what he was looking at, he looked at the distance outside the pass without squinting, hooked the corners of his mouth with a smirk, and said in a neutral way: "He, he is not easy to fool, but Mr. Luo Che will not Come."

"how do you know?"

Dong Sheng smiled: "That old thing's chassis is very stable. When he was in Daomaguan, his 10,000+ people were about to be wiped out. He has the ability to stand on the sidelines."

Dong Sheng rubbed the rim of the teacup lightly in his hand, picked it up and took a sip. The tea was brewed in a silver pot mixed with agarwood, and you could smell it from a long distance away. Strong tea fragrance, extremely soothing.Dong Sheng held the tea in his mouth, swallowed it slowly, and suddenly felt much more at ease.

He took a deep breath and said with a smile: "If you can't fool the old ones, can't you also fool the young ones?"

Lieutenant General Na Sha'an came with an army of 3 in a threatening manner. He took a look at the usual defense at the gate of the city. Because of Luo Che's explanation before leaving, he also kept a little mind and sent [-] people to attack the city. The rest wait and see.

Facts have proved that those Huaxu people were indeed "exhausted" and "vulnerable" in their overnight crusade.

Lieutenant General Sha'an also attacked the city at night, knowing the hard work, thinking that his iron body might not be able to survive, let alone those Huaxu soldiers with thin arms and legs.

Moreover, the white crystal psychic cannon hadn't been installed yet on the city wall, probably because the military supplies hadn't arrived yet.

In addition, I heard that the leader of Hua Xu's army was the prince who was not as good as them, so I was even more convinced that this yellow-mouthed boy must have been underestimated.

When dawn was about to break in the sky, a soldier ran back ecstatically to report: "General! The city gate has been breached!"

Lieutenant General Sha'an breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled smugly: "Okay, let's pass the order and move out!"

The remaining [-] troops of Sha'an stormed towards the city gate with loud roars. Wherever the iron hoofs went, the yellow sand was overwhelming, and the wind and smoke blew on the battlefield in the morning light.

The [-] soldiers of Sha'an who were guarding the city gate and waiting for the order to attack the city saw a large army coming, and their morale rose sharply for a while.

As expected, Hua Xu's sick man was just a momentary act of courage.

And when the [-] troops rushed into the city with enthusiasm, they realized that something was wrong - there was not a single soldier defending the city, and those heavy white crystal psionic cannons that they thought "had not arrived" turned out to be in the city. The inner wall, the muzzle is facing them in the city.

The city gate behind him slammed shut with a dull whimper.

Sha'an's [-] troops became vulnerable in the blink of an eye. Dozens of white crystal heavy psionic cannons on the inner wall of the city gate fired repeatedly, bombarding them all in pieces.

At the end, the heavy artillery ceased fire, and the Hua Xu army, who had been hiding for a long time, surrounded them from all directions, just like when the Sha'an people entered the city, they shouted and killed.

The news of the victory in the north quickly spread back to Huajing City, and the soldiers carrying the news carried the flags and drove a black-maned horse galloping through the city straight through the wind, shouting all the way: "Northern victory!"

The northern Xinjiang, which had been stalemate for half a year, finally made progress, and the streets and alleys of the entire Huajing suddenly boiled.

The battle report was sent to the imperial city in a hurry. When the empress was still lying on the bed early in the morning, she could faintly hear the commotion outside the palace. When she got up and asked, it turned out that the three passes of Beijiang had been recovered.

She couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth, and said to the servant next to her in a good mood: "Official Xuan, discuss matters in court."
