Good luck and marriage: marrying the governor of Dongchang

Chapter 215

The situation on the Xiliang border is not optimistic.

Sucheng was originally a city on the border of the Northern Qi Kingdom, but after it was captured by the Xiliang army, because the Xiliang general Zhou Mu was accidentally seriously injured, the morale of the Xiliang army was affected by this, and the army was in turmoil. Grasping the opportunity, he turned defeat into victory and took back the two lost cities before. Now he set up camp in Sucheng and confronted the Xiliang army.

Unlike the Northern Qi army, which was more courageous in the Vietnam War, the Xiliang army lost two more games in a row because they had no leader.

The Xiliang army has now retreated to Yucheng, a small town on the edge of Xiliang.

This position is very important and must be guarded.

Although this city is small, the important thing is that behind this city is an important city, the Yuancheng.Yuancheng is one of the four major cities in Xiliang. It covers a vast area and extends in all directions. Most importantly, there is a very large granary here.

Therefore, the Northern Qi army must not be allowed to reach Yuancheng. What must be done right now is to defend Yucheng and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Inside Yucheng, General Lin Xian of the Xiliang Army looked at the marching map in his tent.

He frowned tightly, and the armor on his body hadn't been taken off for several days.

Before the reinforcements arrived, the enemy army was stalking him, so he couldn't take off his clothes and sleep peacefully.

While frowning, a person entered the camp. This person rolled his sleeves up to the crook of his arm, his expression was tense, and his clothes were stained with blood. It was Xu He, a military doctor in the Xiliang army.

Seeing his expression, Lin Xian knew that there must be some bad news.

Sure enough, Xu He looked around and after confirming that no one was eavesdropping, he leaned in front of him and said in a low voice, "General Zhou's body is probably going to die."

The General Zhou he was talking about was Zhou Mu.

Since Zhou Mu was seriously injured that night, he has been coughing up blood and has been unconscious. His physical condition is getting worse every day, and everyone in the army is panicking.

Many soldiers secretly suspected that there were spies in the army, so that General Zhou's whereabouts would not be exposed so easily and be discovered by the enemy.

Someone must have secretly informed the enemy army that General Zhou was seriously injured.

With such remarks released, it is natural for the military to avoid mutual suspicion and slander.

Over time, the army also lost its heart.

Lin Xian thought secretly, and said in a deep voice, "Doctor Xu, you and I only need to know this news, and we must never let the soldiers know about it. I'm afraid they will be disturbed and have no intention of fighting."

Xu He sighed, "That's the only way to go." After finishing speaking, he was about to leave when he remembered something. He stopped in his tracks and asked, "Master General, the imperial court said that a new commander would be sent here. Is there no news yet?"

Lin Xian looked away from the marching formation map and shook his head, "I don't know about that either. There has been no movement over there. I don't know if something went wrong."

"I hope not, if the reinforcements don't come again, we will be in danger."

Xu He got out of the tent and looked at the bloodstains on his clothes. These were the bloodstains of wounded soldiers. In recent days, the number of people sent to him has obviously increased, and this cannot continue. Looking in the direction of the capital, he suddenly let out a long sigh.

Ever since the little emperor came to the throne, their future in Xiliang has been an unknown.

At the beginning of the morning sun, it was time for the two armies to confront each other again.

Lin Xian led a group of soldiers to the place of confrontation. The high-spirited and energetic look of the Northern Qi army on the opposite side formed a huge contrast with the low morale on their side.

The commander-in-chief of the Northern Qi army was a tall, sturdy general in black armor. His name was Xue Can.

Lin Xian despised this man very much, but he had nothing to do with him, so he could only warn the soldiers to be careful not to listen to his words.

Xue Can took a black riding whip and tapped it in the palm of his hand, his eyes narrowed, and some malicious words slipped out of his mouth, "Mu He, look, there is only one general in their army as the leader. , then we can’t bully them and no one else, just go out and fight them, you two have about the same official rank, so it’s fair, isn’t it?”

The tiger general named Mu He laughed contemptuously, "It's not that there are no one there, but those generals have already been beaten to the ground by us, and I'm afraid they are lying on the hospital bed now, unable to get up!"

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers of the Northern Qi Dynasty all laughed loudly, the laughter was like thunder, and the arrogance was menacing.

On Lin Xian's side, everyone in the army was resentful and restrained themselves.

They sent Mu He, but Lin Xian couldn't go out casually, he is now the highest ranking general in the army, if something happened to him during the battle, then their army would be in disarray.

While hesitating, a young general rode out and said loudly, "Xiliang Qin Xin is here to learn!"

Namu He glanced at him disdainfully, and snorted, "Huangkou boy, you dare to come to confront me, I'm afraid you are just a leader in the army." Saying that, he tilted his neck and laughed loudly. He made no effort to hide his contempt.

Lin Xian's fists were clenched, this Mu He is really hateful!

The young general Qin Xin was not affected by him, and he responded calmly, "General Mu He looks down on the leader of the army? Isn't the food you eat every day in the army made by the leader of the army?"

Mu He's face was full of impatience, and the little kid dared to teach him a lesson before all his teeth grew! ?

Xue Can's eyes were gloomy at the back, he was so eloquent, and these few words annoyed Mu He and disturbed his mind.With a smirk, he reminded Mu He, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, what are you doing marching against you, Mu He, hurry up and pick this ignorant brat!"

After hearing this, Mu He quickly restrained himself, rode his horse and shouted, and charged towards Qin Xin.

Lin Xian was a little worried. Qin Xin was too young, his physique was not as burly as Mu He's, and most importantly, he lacked experience in fighting.In front of a veteran in the battlefield like Mu He, Qin Xin is still too young.

His worry was not wrong, obviously, after Qin Xin and Mu He fought more than a dozen moves, he seemed a little overwhelmed, the more loopholes he had, finally Mu He's eyes became ruthless, and he made a sudden move to challenge him dismounted.

At the critical moment, Qin Xinchang stabbed Mu He's horse's leg, causing the horse to suffer pain and knock Mu He down.

Lin Xian watched nervously, and in the end Mu He won, but Qin Xin also had the prestige to kill him.

After all, it was a dishonorable thing for him that a fledgling young general could consume him for so long.

After Mu He returned to the team, Xue Can cast a gloomy glance at him, making Mu He's scalp tighten.

After the two armies sent a few more people to confront each other, they fought with real swords and guns.

The Northern Qi army had a large number of people, and they attacked them with an overwhelming force. The Xiliang army basically defended and resisted them. Later, Lin Xian had no choice but to order a retreat to Yucheng, and closed the city gates. All blocked out.

Xue Can sat on horseback and looked up at the city wall above, with ghastly eyes.

He pulled his lips and smiled coldly, "I didn't expect that the biggest base of the Xiliang Army would be to run away from battle. I, Xue Can, really opened my eyes today, I have seen it!"

Mu He laughed hard and said loudly, "No, Lin Xian, you can't compare with the previous Zhou Hemu, look at him, how can you be as spineless as you, like a dog in the water, a lost dog !"

Lin Xian's face turned pale when he heard the unbearable insults outside.

Qin Xin stood beside him, a little worried, he looked at Lin Xian, but suddenly exclaimed, "General, you..."

Lin Xian clutched the wound on his waist, where dark red blood was oozing out, he stopped Qin Xin, "Don't shout, I'm fine..."

Now is the critical time, and we must not let others know that he, the general, was also injured.

At night, Lin Xian's wound had already been bandaged by Xu He.

Outside Yucheng, the Northern Qi army had withdrawn to Sucheng.

Lin Xian did not dare to relax at all, because he knew that they would attack at any time.

He took the military book in his hand, but couldn't read it anyway.

He was a little restless tonight, and his eyelids were always twitching, as if something important was going to happen tonight.

Due to the injury, his spirits are not as good as usual.

After reading the book of war for a while, I couldn't keep my eyes open. At this time, there was a sudden loud noise outside.

A small soldier rushed in and shouted, "Master General, it's bad, our granary is on fire!"

"What!?" Lin Xian stood up suddenly, the wound tugged for a while, and blood flowed out again, but he couldn't care less.

Quickly got up and rushed out of the camp with the soldier, and rushed to the burning granary.

Many people were already surrounded there, Lin Xian stood there, looking at the blazing fire in front of him, there was a hint of struggle in his eyes.

"How did it start?" His voice trembled.

Xiao Bing was at a loss, with an anxious expression on his face, "We don't know, it suddenly caught up, it's very weird."

Lin Xian shook his head, "Oh, it's not for no reason, someone set the fire."

The surrounding soldiers were shocked when they heard this. Could it be that Northern Qi soldiers sneaked into their ranks and started the fire secretly.

Lin Xian saw that the granary was in a mess, and there were still many people helping to put out the fire, but he felt that it was useless.

"Order, step up your guard!" He said in a cold voice, with an unprecedented coldness on his face.

But just after he finished speaking, he saw a group of people running over, shouting, "Northern Qi army sneak attack!! They are coming!"

Lin Xian's wound was in severe pain. He looked at the Northern Qi army rushing forward in groups. They held shining long knives and torches in their hands, and a group of iron cavalry followed.

Under the light of the fire, his face was in a trance, his eyes were ashen, and he murmured in a low voice, "It's over, Yucheng is about to fall..."
