After the rebirth, the emperor will never forget me

==========================

Lanxi Zhu stood on the city gate, his dark red cloak was blown up by the cold wind, whistling.He looked at the busy soldiers below, and shouted: "All officers and men obey orders—"

"Swear to defend Lucheng to the death, and don't let our territory be trampled by these Beidi people. Hold on, everyone, reinforcements will arrive soon!"

The shouts of this life echoed over the entire Lucheng, and it lasted for a long time.

Everyone's blood surged up all of a sudden, and they echoed:

"Defend Lucheng to the death!"

"Defend Lucheng to the death!"

That night, the screams at the gate of Lucheng never stopped, blood flowed all over the city, and some people's bodies were not left behind.

But the situation in Beidi was even worse. Several ladders to attack the city were broken, and none of the people who went up survived.They suffered several rounds of arrow rain, and every time they were destroyed tragically.

Their battle sites are generally open plains outside the Great Wall, or valleys that are easy to ambush. Lanxi Zhu rarely commands this kind of city defense battle.In the past, Beidi never had the guts to attack the city.

Yilong really deserves to be the most "useful" son of the King of Beidi, ambitious and reckless.

In the early morning of the second day, the screams and the sounds of sharp weapons being handed over became softer, but the Beidi people would make a new round of surprise attacks when they were tired.

Lanxizhu's face was covered with splashed blood, not only the enemy's but also his own. His battle armor was also somewhat tarnished, and his half-rotten cloak was swaying in the cold wind.

"Is there any news from Qicheng?"

Lanxi Zhu took a sip of water in a hurry, and asked Yao Guilin who had been delivering the information.

"Reporting to the general, Zhenxihou encountered a surprise attack from Beidi on the way to support him, and was trapped in the snow valley."

Yao Guilin's tone was eager and regretful.

"Too bad." Hearing this, Lanxizhu murmured in a low voice, "Third brother doesn't understand the terrain of Miyun, and he is naturally afraid of the cold, so I'm afraid he won't get any benefits."

"It's all because Beidi people gathered too many soldiers and horses this time. As far as I know, many of them pretended to be ordinary people and sneaked into various cities on the pretext of buying new year's goods. The soldiers of the Sumu Banner gathered. This battle was not an accident at all, but a long-planned plan."

No wonder, they really learned how to behave this time, and used all kinds of insidious tricks.

Seeing that Lanxizhu was silent, Yao Guilin asked worriedly: "General, how are you doing now?"

What else could it be?

Lanxizhu raised his head, looked in the direction of Hengdu City, and said coldly:

"war."

They have no choice but to fight on.

There is their home, and many people are still waiting for them to go home.

The battle lasted for four days and five nights. There were still [-] soldiers left in Lucheng, while Beidi soldiers had dropped to [-].

Defending the city is much easier than attacking the city. Beidi people have the determination to attack the city but they don't have the strategy. The final result is just death in vain.

Such a change caught the attention of King Beidi, who stopped the loss in time and recalled Yilong.In the end, the Beidi people decided to withdraw their troops, and the battle ended with Nanheng's victory.

Now, the second prince who is respected and loved must be punished.

After receiving the signal of the other party's surrender, Lanxizhu fainted on the city wall.The people below hurriedly carried their general into the tent, their faces could not help but feel distressed.

They have seen in the past few days that the general has not closed his eyes for a long time, and he is not exhausted now.

The war-torn Lucheng fell into silence, and everyone finally had a good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, the first thing Lan Xizhu did after getting up was to ask Yao Guilin for the death list this time.

The names of [-] people are lined up densely, and the ones drawn with the red line are those who died in this unfortunate battle.

Lanxi Zhu stroked the pages of yellow paper with rough fingers, as if trying to remember every name.Suddenly, he saw a name in the front row—Wang Lu.

The black feather knight soldier who robbed his mother of wealth also died in this battle.

Lanxizhu's fingers were trembling, and he handed the list back.

Yao Guilin asked worriedly: "General, some people's bodies are complete, and some people can't put together a complete body. Is it still the old rule?"

According to the old rules, bring their bodies back to Hengdu and hand them over to their relatives.

Lanxizhu nodded in a daze.

I haven't fought in a war for ten years, and seeing my soldiers die in battle is a bit more heartbreaking than the first time I fought in a war.

"They should be homesick too." Lanxi Zhu's cold voice was a little choked up.

Among them, how many are the fathers of young children, how many are the husbands of new wives, and how many are the only sons of white-haired old people?

He wiped the moisture from his eye sockets, and ordered below:

"Send a group of people to go to Qicheng with me, but there is still no news from the Marquis of Zhenxi. I am worried that those Beidi soldiers who have not yet left will ambush them."

"Yes."

Lanxi Zhu straightened up his mood immediately and set off with 2 horses.

It took them about two hours to reach the Thousand Jun Valley, and found that the snow here was so thick that no one could be seen.

"Report to the general, there is no one on the west side."

"Report to the general, there is no sign of people on the east side."

"Report to the general, there is nothing on the south side."

The successive notifications made Lanxizhu even more uneasy. Could it be that he has already left?

That shouldn't be news.

A few days ago, I heard that they were finally ambushed here. Could it be that the battle report was wrong?

Lanxizhu waved his hand back: "Go to the north and have a look."

Going north, they gradually found some corpses and some broken arms and limbs lying in the snow. If the snow had not fallen deeply in the past two days, they would probably have been covered.

Going further inside, they saw several moving figures.

Both sides began to raise their guard.

"Who are you?"

A voice of inquiry sounded from the opposite side, it was very standard Nanheng dialect.

The people on Lanxizhu's side relaxed after hearing this, and they seemed to be their own people.

Several people had seen Lanxi Bamboo in the crowd and asked tentatively, "General Lan?"

The people here also gave a positive response.

The other side immediately became excited, "It's really General Lan, Zhen Xihou is waiting for you inside."

Those few people led the way for them and led them in.

It turned out that the third brother hid in a hidden place in the valley with his soldiers, and suffered a lot from being ambushed by Beidi people these days.

"Third Brother!"

The first moment he saw the crowd, Lanxi Zhu called out Lanxi Jing.

Lan Xijing thought she had heard wrong.

He hurriedly turned his head and found that it was Xiao Si whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

He stepped up in three steps and two steps, and then gave Lanxi Zhu a big hug.

"Third brother thought he would never see you again."

Lan Xijing's nose was red from the cold, and her lips were a little purple.

Seeing this, Lanxizhu's nose was a little sour, and his eyes were flushed, "How could it be?"

[The author has something to say: The battle is finally over, let me reveal that there is one good thing and one bad thing in tomorrow's chapter. 】
