Daily life of noble ladies of the Three Kingdoms

Si Qi didn't know if Wuhuan had ambushed Chengping in history, most likely there was none, after all, the other party came to use the developed Chengping as a granary, and it was very different from the historical trend. Likely.

Fortunately, Siqi had already made preparations, and the problem of defending the city was not a big one.

Ma Chao also agreed early in the morning that he would send people to investigate from time to time, and if there was something wrong here, he would come to the rescue as soon as possible.

Wuhuan came in a menacing manner, as if he was determined to win, but after all, he lived outside the Great Wall and lacked food and clothing, and his weapons were not well developed, so he relied on the brute force in the bones of nomads.

Si Qi didn't even send many troops to face the enemy, and only used the newly made hyperbolic bow and gunpowder to meet the enemy, consuming most of the enemy's strength.

Probably on the third day of the siege of Wuhuan, the vanguard army led by Ma Chao arrived.

Under the strong attack of Chengping Army and Liangzhou Army, Wuhuan was defeated, retreated eastward, and made peace with the Yuan family brothers.

Maybe this battle was fought too smoothly, and the enemy was killed too quickly. Ma Chao was a little unsatisfied, and asked Siqi for men and weapons, and wanted to continue chasing in the direction of Youzhou.

Now the Yuan brothers have formed an alliance with Wuhuan, occupying Youzhou and Jizhou, and Cao Cao is attacking Yuantan in Jizhou and high-ranking officials in Bingzhou at this time. With weapons, it is still possible to wipe out half of Youzhou.

Ma Chao told Si Qi his thoughts, and wanted to lead troops to attack Youzhou and wipe out Wuhuan's power in the north in one fell swoop.

Siqi's original intention was just to maintain peace, protect the people in the city and the achievements of the construction over the years, but he didn't want Ma Chao's goal to be so ambitious and directly wanted to lead troops to attack Youzhou.

This fact is not small, and Si Qi did not give Ma Chao an answer immediately, but asked him to give himself time to think about it, and give him the answer the next morning.

Ma Chao came all the way, and he was also very tired after repeated battles, so he said hello to Si Qi, and went to the guest room that Si Qi had arranged for him to recuperate.

After Ma Chao went to rest, Si Qi hurriedly called Liu Yun, Chen Xing and Zhou Buyi over to discuss the matter.

Although Si Qi also had a faint feeling that the Three Kingdoms she traveled to were not the Three Kingdoms in history, but a parallel world in another time and space.

But as a girl who has been driving all the way since she was a child, Si Qi judges whether a battle is successful or not is the outcome of a battle in history.

In history, there is no record of Ma Chao attacking Wuhuan and seizing Youzhou, nor is there any record of Wuhuan marching to Pingping.

What worries Si Qi the most is not knowing the direction and outcome of this battle.

Because they had just repelled Wuhuan and won an overall victory in the battle of defending the city, the three people sitting here were all in high spirits, and their tone of voice kept rising when they chatted.

Chen Xing was the most excited. When he heard that Ma Chao was going to lead people to chase Wuhuan, he gave a positive opinion on the spot.

Ma Chao is simply too powerful, resolute, brave, tall, and handsome. He is simply the ideal God of War in Chen Junshou's mind. He is incomparable to the mob in Wuhuan. In this battle, victory must belong to them!

Liu Yun also agreed, but his starting point was different from Chen Xing.

His daughter is so powerful and intelligent, she is definitely not an ordinary mortal in this world, and now she has researched so many powerful weapons, it is like adding wings to a tiger, defeating Wuhuan is just a small problem.

Zhou Buyi also agreed.

Compared with Chen Xing and Liu Yun, he was more rational, thinking that if Cao Cao occupied Jizhou, Wuhuan and the Yuan brothers would retreat to Youzhou and seek development.

But Youzhou is closer to Chengping, and after the defeat, they will be even more irrational. If the Yuan brothers and Wuhuan attack Chengping together, it will have an extremely negative impact on Chengping, and they may not be able to win.

Now taking advantage of this opportunity, taking advantage of the victory to pursue and defeat each of them can not only relieve the pressure on Cao Cao fighting on the southern front, but also give himself more vitality. It is indeed a good choice.

I don't know if it was because of the same subconscious thoughts as Zhou Buyi, Si Qi was easily persuaded by Zhou Buyi, and prepared a table of sumptuous morning meals the next morning, and invited Ma Chao to have a meal together.

Looking at Si Qi's brows stretched, Ma Chao knew that her mind had been resolved.

This is an excellent opportunity. If Wuhuan can be defeated in one fell swoop, both Chengping and Liangzhou will have peace for a long time.

Although Ma Chao didn't know why Si Qi was hesitant at the beginning, but now that she has decided to send troops, he must cooperate with her to repel Wuhuan.

Actions on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and the most important thing is to race against time. Now that Lord Chengping has given an affirmative answer, Ma Chao finished his breakfast as quickly as possible and prepared to reorganize and set off.

Seeing that Ma Chao was about to leave, Si Qi got up, sent him out, and asked softly, "Can I still go to Liangzhou City to see the lanterns at the invitation of the general during the Lantern Festival this April?"

Ma Chao lowered his head and counted the time. It is really hard to say whether this war will be over in April, but he still smiled at Si Qi and said, "It depends on human effort."

In the end, Si Qi only left 1 people in the city, and lent the remaining 2 horses and weapons to Ma Chao to attack Youzhou.

News of Ma Chao's success at the front came from time to time. Judging from the news he received, Ma Chao's eyes were red, and his journey was unbelievably smooth, taking down two counties in Youzhou in a row.

The weather this night was even hotter than the previous few days. Si Qi lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. When he was half asleep, someone came to report that Ma Chao had been ambushed by the leader of Wuhuan.

Although there are not many troops in the city now, Siqi has to be rescued.

Since it is an ally, it is necessary to show the sincerity of cooperation.

Ma Chao is willing to fight Youzhou for her, and she is also willing to help him out with the greatest sincerity.

Several generals in the city had followed Ma Chao to the front line, and the only general who had to be used was Huo Qiulan, the chief general who stayed behind to defend the city.

Si Qi was anxious, and when she was debating whether to send Huo Qiulan to rescue Ma Chao, she heard the maidservant come to report, please see Zhen Shu.

Perhaps it was because of his anxiety, Si Qi couldn't feel any better when he saw Zhen Shu's face, which could be compared to a beautiful boy who came out of a cartoon.

Zhen Shu came to invite a fight.

"Now Wuhuan has concentrated its forces to besiege us and Xiliang's troops. Given the disparity in strength, it will cost a lot to break through. We can find out where they are weakest and lead people to bury them around the outside of the enemy's army. Huolei, light the fire mines outside to lure them out. As long as they move, there will be openings. Then we will use fireworks to send a message to General Ma, and use artillery to pinch from inside and outside. I believe that with General Ma's ability, breaking through will not be a problem. "

Si Qi said: "This is indeed a good idea, but it's hard for you to come up with it."

Huo Lei is a weapon that has never appeared in this world. It is not too powerful, but its movement is not too small. If there is any movement outside, it will inevitably cause riots. In this way, the plan will be more than half successful.

Hearing Si Qi's praise, Zhen Shu smiled a little embarrassedly: "I don't dare to do it, thanks to the king's arrangement."

Since he went to teach at the Military Academy, his mind has become clearer, his thinking has become clearer, and he is completely different from the one he was a few days ago.

After getting Si Qi's approval, Zhen Shu will pack his bags and organize his troops to set off earlier.

Si Qi got up and sent Zhen Shu outside the courtyard: "Be careful."

"Don't worry, my lord." Zhen Shu said, "After I take people away, the city must also strengthen its defenses. They have trapped our main force in Youzhou, and there is no guarantee that they will not come back to attack Chengping."

After all, today's Chengping is not what it used to be, and it is the most worthwhile city-state in this area to send troops to attack.

After Zhen Shu left with 7000 troops, there were only 3000 guards left in the city.

A few days later, there was no news of Zhen Shu's departure, but Wuhuan sent a new army south to attack Chengping again.

Liu Yun spun around the room anxiously.

This time Wuhuan's troops seem to be only a lot more than the last time they attacked the city, but [-]% of the troops in the city have gone out.

This is no longer an ordinary memorization, is it?

It's good luck!

Si Qi was not as reactive as Liu Yun. In today's war-torn era, anything is possible.

What's more, Wuhuan already coveted Chengping, as long as they took down the base of Chengping, all their subsequent actions would become easy and simple, that's why the tribal leaders led people to attack Chengping one after another.

Si Qi went up to the tower and found Huo Qiulan, the commander who stayed behind: "In your opinion, how many days can our 3000 troops defend the city?"

Huo Qiulan said: "Back to the lord, as far as the current situation is concerned, there will be no problem within ten days, the premise is that the other party does not increase their troops."

Si Qi frowned, really not optimistic.

Huo Qiulan said again: "Don't worry, my lord. The Governor of Chen has already sent people to recruit soldiers from all over Chengping. There are cannon barrels, gunpowder, and stones in the city. There are also enough bows, crossbows, shields, and arrows. As long as we work together , will be able to defend until several generals return to the city to rescue them."

But these are not comforting to Si Qi, there is indeed no shortage of weapons in the city now, the main thing is people.

People are the foundation of everything, and what they lack now is precisely people.

By the seventh day of defending the city, nearly half of the soldiers had been injured and collapsed.

Neither Ma Chao nor Zhen Shu heard any more, and their current news could not be passed on.

Even if Ma Chao and the others have already broken through, now that the battle has advanced halfway, they will continue to advance eastward, and there is no reason to return halfway unless they have to.

The last time they were trapped in He'an, fortunately Cao Cao's troops attacked Yuan Shao nearby, so they could save them from the fire and water.

But now Cao Cao himself has to fight on two fronts, and the main force of their entire city has also been sent to Youzhou. Si Qi really can't imagine, there is another magic soldier who can fall from the sky to save her and the city.

Wuhuan outside the city attacked again, and Liu Yun kindly handed Siqi the binoculars in his hand.

Si Qi took it, stood on the tower and watched the enemy's attack wave after wave, the anxiety in his heart almost burst through his chest.

When a person comes to this seat, his own safety can be ignored, but there are still people in the city here, and Chengping, which has been developed by everyone's concerted efforts over the years, if something happens and it is destroyed by Wuhuan. It's really suffocating and hopeless.

At this moment, Si Qi saw a group of reinforcements appearing in the distance.

This is the army she handed over to Zhen Shu not long ago, and now they are wearing uniform armor and carrying her royal flag, fighting all the way to the royal city.

And the leading major general in white, with his back against the setting sun, came on horseback.

It was Zhao Yun.
