I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 308 The Great Victory
Although the carriage compartment is closed and airtight, it didn’t take long for the pitiful charcoal in the hand stove to consume only the residual heat in this cold day when drops of water turned to ice. The mink fur blanket, Qu Lingxu was also wearing a fine silver fox cloak, so she wouldn't be too cold.

Qu Lingxu and Qing Yang set off from the capital and Jiangling respectively, and they met at the fastest speed according to the route given by Leng Yuanxun. Needless to say, at the same time, fierce battles were also going on on the frontline battlefield, although everyone knew that , Chen Xiucheng, who lost the navy and cavalry one after another, is just at the end of his battle, and there is no possibility of victory anymore, but the more this is the case, the more unwilling Chen Xiucheng is, this unwillingness makes him frantically want to kill Leng Yuanxun , when he realized that this kind of idea was impossible to realize, he transferred all his anger and resentment to the unarmed ordinary people for no reason.

A lunatic is terrifying, and a lunatic with heavy soldiers in his hands is no different from a devil crawling out of hell. When Leng Yuanxun learned that Chen Xiucheng retreated in the city, it was not for the purpose of gaining respite and searching for food and supplies, but Killing people wantonly in the city, the blood on his face faded instantly, and his voice was as cold as ice outside the account, "What did you say?"

Xu Hu's burning eyes flashed with a strong killing intent, "Your Majesty, my subordinates have just received a report. It is said that the wailing in Liang City is endless and can be heard clearly from three to five miles away. The blood of the people is flowing out along the city gate. , It just dyed the land outside the city gate red, Chen Xiucheng is really crazy..."

"When did it happen?" The general next to him wanted to ask a few more questions, but was interrupted by Leng Yuanxun who had already stood up: "Gather all the troops immediately, and take Liangcheng to me at all costs!"

Now a moment earlier, the city can save a few people from dying, and there is really no time to gossip here.

Chen Xiucheng, today is your death day!

"Your subordinates obey!" Xu Hu explained to several generals to arrange military matters, while he quickly caught up with Leng Yuanxun who had already walked a few meters away, "Your Majesty, Chen Xiucheng repeated his old tricks and arrested many innocent people on the tower. Stop it, if we want to attack the city, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

The battle between soldiers is justified, but when the unarmed common people are standing in front of them, it is not so easy to fight. However, if the city is not captured, with Chen Xiucheng's devil-like crazy behavior now, he will surely be defeated. All the people in the city will be slaughtered.

"At this point, we have no way out." Leng Yuanxun jumped on his horse, and said every word: "All the strongest things in this world are not destroyed by external force. Chen Xiucheng forgot, we shouldn't forget gone."

The two disadvantages are balanced and the lesser is chosen. In order for more people to survive, even if Leng Yuanxun can't bear it, he must capture the city in the shortest time. Even if he bears the crime, he can only bear it. It's just a cover, in order to gather the few remaining troops of the Red Lotus Sect in one place to the greatest extent. In this way, elite dark guards are arranged to climb over the walls at other weakly defended city gates. All of them are powerful martial arts, and it is impossible for ordinary gatekeepers to be their opponents. Coupled with the assistance of poison, there is a great possibility that they will occupy the city gate in a short time. Another part of the troops can enter the city to prevent the bloody killings in the city.

In fact, in terms of understanding Chen Xiucheng, there are few people in this world who can surpass Leng Yuanxun, so Leng Yuanxun knows very well that the reason why Chen Xiucheng made such a frenzied move is naturally to vent his resentment for failure , on the other hand, and the most important thing, is to lure Leng Yuanxun out and kill him.

Leng Yuanxun tightly held the sword in his hand, a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Just in time, he also wanted to kill Chen Xiucheng with his own hands. This day should have come long ago.

Chen Xiucheng's mind, Leng Yuanxun's guess is almost inseparable, but the tragedy in Liangcheng City is much more tragic than he imagined. Just like Chen Xiucheng, the Red Lotus Sect soldiers trapped in the city felt that there was nothing wrong with it. They all swallowed a sigh of relief, now that they have the master's order, they will burn strong without any scruples, and rape women. As for the siege, although Leng Yuanxun's ultimate goal is to attract the Red Lotus Sect troops to gather at one city gate, Taking the opportunity to break into the city through other gates, but in order to prevent Chen Xiucheng from seeing the flaw, he still needs to fight with all his strength. In this way, there will be countless casualties.

There are so many people in the city, if one group dies, another group will soon make up for it, and in the end even the healthy young people will be replaced by immature children and faltering old people. It is necessary to attack the city at all costs, but people's hearts are long. Facing crying and wailing children, how can they kill them? Injured, even killed.

Seeing so many people lose their lives in vain, the pain in Leng Yuanxun's heart can be imagined, but he had to endure it because he was waiting for a suitable opportunity.

"Xu Hu, order everyone to retreat immediately." After another cup of tea, Leng Yuanxun finally said the words he couldn't bear anymore.

"Your Majesty, we don't have any advantage right now. If we retreat here, I'm afraid we will grow up to the arrogance of the gang of rebels from the Red Lotus Sect!"

Xu Hu hurriedly said in a daze.

For this, Leng Yuanxun didn't explain anything, but raised his voice: "Don't ask so many questions, send the order immediately!"

The military order is like a mountain, even if Xu Hu had many questions in his heart, he did not dare to delay. After he left, Leng Yuanxun waved his hand, and the gunner who had been waiting not far away received the order and immediately loaded the shells into the artillery, waiting for the final The command.

Since the start of the siege battle, Leng Yuanxun has been paying attention to every move around the city. He believes that Chen Xiucheng is also like himself, admiring his outrageously proud work in a certain corner. The city gate was captured, but in the constant fighting, the opponent's rockets and even ordinary bows and arrows were almost consumed, and the soldiers were also killed and injured. In short... it was time to give them a fatal blow.

Artillery is a rare weapon in this era. Even the imperial army has a very limited amount of ammunition. Only when it is used on the most critical blade can it exert its maximum effectiveness and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop.

Moreover, he had told the hidden guards ambushing at the west gate earlier in the morning that they would start to act as soon as they heard the sound of cannons. At that time, even if a distress signal was sent out there, the defenders here would have no time to take care of it.

As for those innocent people... I'm sorry, I will always be sorry.

When they saw the imperial army retreating quickly, the Red Lotus Sect soldiers on the tower could hardly believe their eyes. However, before they could be happy in the future, they heard the sound of cannons soaring into the sky, and the cannons were aimed at exactly the direction they are in.

There was smoke everywhere, and the screams were endless.

At this moment, Chen Xiucheng, who heard the sound of the cannon, finally realized belatedly that his previous tricks had not destroyed Leng Yuanxun's cannon. Kill yourself.

It’s over.

It's all over.

Looking at the long sword in his hand, Chen Xiucheng really wanted to use it to pierce through his chest, to save himself the last bit of dignity, but the unwillingness in his heart reminded him repeatedly that he couldn't die, and he hadn't killed Chen Xiucheng yet. , how can die?

Leng Yuanxun came to the sheriff's mansion where the Red Lotus Sect was stationed in Liangcheng, following the blood-stained roads and stepping over the corpses of countless people.

"Your Majesty, Chen Xiucheng is inside, but...he seems to be crazy, you must not get close." The other people here have all been disposed of. If it wasn't for Leng Yuanxun's order to keep Chen Xiucheng alive, I'm afraid Chen Xiucheng Xiucheng is already a corpse now.

Leng Yuanxun glanced at Xu Hu, and seemed to say to him and himself, "He won't be crazy."

As proud as Chen Xiucheng, how could he allow himself to lose all dignity in front of his sworn enemy?If he wanted to die, he would naturally die with dignity.

"Your Majesty, you must not put yourself in danger, let your subordinates follow, in case something happens, you can have a chance to deal with it." Xu Hu is a hundred people who object to Leng Yuanxun's going to see Chen Xiucheng, and he doesn't feel like talking to him What can such a sinful murderous maniac have to say, but it is a pity that Leng Yuanxun insists on this, and he has no other choice but to fulfill his duty of protection.

"When did I become so weak that I needed your protection?" The war that was won at such a heavy price did not ease the sorrow on Leng Yuanxun's brows. He closed his eyes in pain, and when he opened them again, it was already Restored the calmness and fortitude of the past, "Take care of the injured people. As for the dead... the imperial court will distribute pensions according to the proportion of the sacrificed soldiers. If there are family members, let the family members take back the corpses for burial. If there are no family members, they will be buried together. , ask the eminent monk to do a supernatural work."

"Yes, I obey." Xu Hu nodded, and when he was about to say something more, he saw that Leng Yuanxun had already walked up the steps and strictly ordered no one to approach.

There were some things that he had vaguely guessed, but they were not confirmed. Today, he wanted to personally ask the truth from Chen Xiucheng.

The main hall door was ajar, and the charcoal fire on the oven in the center of the room had already cooled down. Nuo Da’s main hall was cold and damp, no different from the outside. Chen Xiucheng didn’t wear armor, but changed into a silver-white plain brocade robe, and his hair was also intact. He was tied up with a jade crown and only draped over his shoulders casually. He was a beautiful man with jade eyes, but now he is so unadorned. There is absolutely no relationship at all.
