Bring beauty to the world

However, this old general who is said to be 'experienced in hundreds of battles' didn't care about Lin Yue's request at all!He just said coldly, "Those soldiers were just pretending to attack. I didn't expect them to take the city. I just tested the enemy's strength."

Hearing these words, Lin Yue's heart was filled with chills. It turned out that this old guy didn't take the soldiers' lives seriously at all. These 5000 people were killed just because of his words... How could Lin Yue bear it.

"Old general, please withdraw your troops, those people won't be able to attack."

"How can I do that? Since the order has been issued, they can only obey." The old general's words showed no emotion at all, as if those soldiers were like a bunch of ants, even if they were all dead, no one cared or cared.The battle lasted for half a day, until the body of the last siege soldier was thrown down from the city wall, and this tragic suicide battle was completely over.

Due to the failure of the first battle, the morale of the conquering army was low. Although the water source in the city was cut off, Lin Yue's side was even more dangerous. Due to the cold weather, 10 horses lost [-] just as they set off. "Old General, what are you going to do next?" Lin Yue asked while sitting on a chair.

"I heard that you developed those cannons, you must be able to know their weaknesses?" asked the old general. "Of course, those cannons will be completely useless if they encounter heavy rain," Lin Yue certainly knows about the weapons she designed. Due to the limited materials here, the self-developed cannons are still fired with matchlocks. It lost its effect, but this is a drought in the north, and it is rare to see rain. If you want to wait for the rain, you don’t know how long you will wait.

Lin Yue insisted on bombarding the enemy with the ten cannons she brought, but the old general refused to do so, and even used his official position to suppress Lin Yue, saying that tomorrow he would send five thousand cavalry archers to cover the [-] infantry attacking the city. As long as the battering ram can be transported, the city tower can be breached in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this old guy's stubbornness, Lin Yue was helpless, she really didn't want to argue with him anymore, so she resigned first and then walked out of the handsome tent to get some fresh air.When she came to the advance battalion, which was the army that was about to attack the city again tomorrow, she saw that the soldiers were not excited about the upcoming battle, and all of them looked downcast.Lin Yue walked up to a man who looked like a young general. The man lowered his head and didn't see Lin Yue, "Little brother, I don't think your morale is high."

The young general looked up at Lin Yue, saw that the other party was the lieutenant general, and immediately stood up.Lin Yue waved her hand to tell him not to be nervous, she sat beside the man and said, "Tomorrow you will attack the city again, do you have any ideas?"

The young general saw that the female lieutenant had no airs and spoke very softly, so he felt relieved at the moment. He said, "What else can I think, anyway, my brothers and sisters are all going to die tomorrow." His tone seemed very sad , with a numbness of despair.

Lin Yuedao, "It's a pity, I'm just a lieutenant general, I can't save you, the old general is very stubborn, if you use my method, you don't have to die." Order, what did they tell us to do? We can only do what we can do.” After finishing speaking, the young general looked at the group of soldiers behind him and said, “Anyway, we are going to die tomorrow. People like us, no matter how many people die. No one will care."

Lin Yue patted him on the shoulder and said, "Is there anyone else in your family?" "Of course, I have a wife and children in my family, as well as Gaotang's parents. If I die, our family will be broken up." He started to cry, it didn't matter if he cried, those little soldiers started to cry one after another.

Lin Yue stood up and said to them, "Don't worry, I won't let you die in vain, trust me." After she finished speaking, she went straight to the big tent for sending information. There are special breeding pigeons here, and Lin Yue wrote a letter The letter was hung on the carrier pigeon's leg and it was released. Whether these poor soldiers could be saved was entirely up to the carrier pigeon.

In the early morning of the next day, the golden sound of gongs and drums sounded again, and the [-] army began to prepare to attack the city.This time Lin Yue stopped the old general's order, she said she wanted to cover them with artillery, seeing Lin Yue's resolute face, the old general had to reluctantly agree to her.

After the first round of shelling, the [-] troops began to charge. With artillery support this time, the casualties were much less, and most of the soldiers rushed to the base of the wall safely.However, when the ladder was set up and rushed up, the casualties were still very high. Some soldiers were stabbed by the spears pierced through the holes on the wall as soon as they rushed up. Moreover, there must be a large number of archers behind the city wall, and there were waves of arrows raining Let the casualties of soldiers gradually increase.Seeing that the attack was about to be thwarted again, Lin Yue was about to send the soldiers back immediately, but the old general was unwilling to say anything, saying that the soldiers had already attacked the city wall, and Lin'an City could be taken down in one go.

The soldiers in front are fighting each other, corpses are piled up like a mountain, the sky is full of arrows and smoke from the artillery, the whole battlefield looks extremely strange, often a wave of soldiers rushing up will immediately turn into a pile of corpses, and then another wave of people Rush up.... Repeatedly, there was the sound of fighting everywhere on the city wall, but the city tower was never taken down, and the number of [-] soldiers in the front line was getting smaller and smaller. Later, seeing that the attack could not be done, the old general finally ordered to withdraw his troops.

Out of 5000 troops, there were only 3000 left when they came back, which means that the rest of them would stay on the battlefield forever.Lin Yue couldn't stand it anymore, she wanted to take out something she didn't want to take out, although she knew that that thing might hurt the innocent, but now she couldn't care so much, only by killing a small number of people can she save everyone. part of the people.

"Miss Lin, is this thing really useful?" The old general asked looking at the dark thing in front of him. "Of course it's useful. This thing is more powerful than a cannonball. There won't be any living things in the place where the poisonous smoke disperses." Lin Yue said lightly.But when the cannons were all loaded with the poisonous smoke bombs, Lin Yue found a scene that made her hesitate. On the city wall, many people in civilian clothes suddenly appeared!

"Wang Tiancheng, this little bastard, drove the common people to the city gate to guard the city." The old general gritted his teeth, "I really have no shame!"

"Give up the siege, it will hurt the people." Lin Yue was about to give up the attack immediately, but the old general said, "Now that the sword has been unsheathed, I can't take care of so many." He waved the handsome flag immediately, and the artillery fired With a thunderous roar, poisonous smoke bombs flew towards the city wall one after another, and a burst of yellow poisonous smoke enveloped the city wall instantly, making it difficult to see the scene inside, but Lin Yue knew that those soldiers and civilians must be in extreme pain. If this kind of weapon is used in the world she lives in, then she will definitely spend her life in a prison...

Both sides were red-eyed, and Wang Tiancheng seemed to be crazy. When the next wave of siege troops attacked again, the roar of artillery fire appeared again at the top of the city shrouded in yellow smoke. Although it was much weaker than before, it still gave the soldiers Bring a lot of pressure.So the next thing is inevitable, the siege failed again.This made the old general very angry. He decided to lead an army of [-] to fight the next time he attacked the city, and he must take Lin'an City.

Lin Yue looked calm. On the one hand, she sorted out the prescriptions and gave them to the military doctors to treat the disabled soldiers. On the other hand, she stopped continuing to attack the city. to unnecessary casualties.

Compared with the large-scale fierce battle that broke out in Lin'an City, its neighboring country Jin Kingdom is very quiet. Du Yingxue took the envelope and handed it to Khan Jiqian. After reading it, the old Khan said, "This Lin Yue is really powerful now. , I thought she would not join the army anymore, and now she is going to encircle and suppress the rebels." Du Yingxue said anxiously, "Now she is not good at attacking the city, so please ask the old Khan to order her to help."

The old Khan said with a distressed face, "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. Although I am a Khan, we must obtain the consent of our emperor to deploy troops. I will be decapitated if I send troops without permission." Du Yingxue was anxious and helpless. , and wanted to go to the camp where Lin Yue was.The old Khan held her back and said, "It's fighting there now, you can't go there."

But Du Yingxue didn't listen. She thought that since she couldn't get help here, there was no point in staying here.The old Khan held her back and said, "Let me think again, it is impossible to send troops directly, but I can send people to move around the border to create a false attack, so Wang Tiancheng will definitely withdraw the main force from the battlefield to defend us .”

Du Yingxue said, "What if Wang Tiancheng doesn't fall for it?" At this moment, she was only worried about Lin Yue's safety, and she didn't understand it anyway.The old Khan plucked his bushy beard and said, "Impossible, just be optimistic. If Wuyou doesn't withdraw the main force, I will attack the city myself."

Seeing that the old Khan was full of confidence, Du Yingxue also felt a little relieved. In fact, the old Khan's generosity was related to a letter that Lin Yue handed over to him. It was a generous gift. Seeing the long gift list at the bottom of the letter, Du Yingxue was shocked. The total value of these gold and silver was far higher than the total tax revenue of the old Khan stationed in this city for a year. That guy was really generous. .

The old Khan smiled from ear to ear when he saw the gift list. It seemed that this time he could make a fortune again.He immediately dispatched troops and sent his [-] elite troops to approach Lin'an City.In the next few days, Du Yingxue received a second letter. It turned out that Lin Yue asked her to sneak into Lin'an City to find out the situation in the city, and then told her to make a little noise in the city.Du Yingxue had done this kind of investigation before, so she was not too unfamiliar. That night, she sneaked into Lin'an City dressed as a nocturnal traveler.

When Lin Yue received Du Yingxue's reply, she was very happy with the contents of the letter. It seemed that this suspicious strategy had worked. As long as Wang Tiancheng withdrew his main force, there would be hope for the next attack.

"It seems that Miss Lin is very popular, Jin Guo is willing to send troops to help you." The old general's words seemed strange.Lin Yue said with a smile, "Actually, the other party didn't want to help me. Do you know how much money I spent to buy them off? Besides, I just sent troops to fight under the city without attacking the city. You can get so many treasures without any casualties. , How could that old Khan be unwilling?"

Thinking of the gold and silver that she was about to disperse, she felt a pain in her heart. It was all her savings for many years. She thought that after returning to the court, she would definitely ask the emperor to pay her back and use her money to help others When fighting a war, only I am too stupid to think of this method, but what can I do, now I can only wait for any news from Du Yingxue.
