Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 295 What a detailed work (Part [-])
"Farewell to the Empress Dowager." The two bowed their hands together.

Huo Mingzhu waved his hand: "Outside, there is no need to be so polite."

After finishing speaking, he took Su Lan and Xiao Cui and left.

After they left, Fang Tieyi still had a gloomy expression on his face. Lin Yunxi went up and patted him on the shoulder: "There's no need to worry about your younger siblings. You know how the Queen Mother treats her."

"I'm not worried about her." Fang Tieyi withdrew his gaze and looked at Lin Yunxi.

Lin Yunxi was shocked and looked at Fang Tieyi.

Fang Tieyi shook his head and said, "Maybe I'm just thinking too much."

An hour later, in the Mobei military camp on the other side, Yeluci took a piece of paper in his hand and said a few words on it, he looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "Such a simple strategy is really disappointing. "

Vice-General Wanyan at the side saw Yeluci's appearance, took a step forward and said with a smile: "The last general said that Concubine Lie is a good candidate for a spy, no, I got the information."

"Such a child's thing is worth reporting." Yeluci sneered, as if he didn't pay attention to the information at all, and then he threw the note to Vice-General Wanyan.

Deputy General Wanyan caught the note, but didn't dare to speak again.

Yeluci walked steadily to the window of the tent, looked at the direction of the city wall over there, and a gleam of what must be won flashed in his eyes.

"Dayong's emperor is not Baili Zonglu but Baili Jingqi. This matter is really unexpected. However, no matter who it is, in the end, it will bow down to the king." It looks like something in his pocket.

However, in the letter of the concubine Lie, there was no mention that the Empress Dowager Dayong was also in the camp. Whether she omitted this point on purpose or accidentally, of course no one knew about it.

When the war drums sounded, Huo Mingzhu's heart also lifted up, thinking, finally came.

Therefore, with a bow and arrow on her back, she brought Sulu and Xiao Cui together and appeared on the top of the city wall. As far as she could see, the dust was flying, the drums were soaring, and the shouts and wailing continued.

In this matter, the Mobei side moved towards this side at a slow speed in a one-sided trend.

Because all the archers on Dayong's side climbed onto the city wall and shot from top to bottom, even if the Mobei soldiers used shields, they couldn't take care of everything from left to right, up and down. The arrows from Dayong's side fell like rain, and the fallen Mobei The northern soldiers became a piece.

Su Yun and Xiao Cui were also wearing armor and standing beside Huo Mingzhu. Seeing the Mobei soldiers fall one by one, the scene was very tragic. Huo Mingzhu was expressionless, while Su Yun seemed a little happy.

He said to Huo Mingzhu: "Empress Dowager, from this point of view, we will definitely win this battle."

Huo Mingzhu glanced at Sulu lightly, but did not speak, but glanced at Xiao Cui.

Xiao Cui found that Huo Mingzhu was looking at her, so he smiled and said: "Yes, yes, our soldiers are brave and good at fighting." However, this smile was a bit far-fetched, and Huo Mingzhu just looked at her and didn't speak.

However, even if there were so many fallen soldiers, they could not stop the soldiers from Mobei. Some soldiers carried the ladders and moved forward slowly. The ladders were covered with shields, and those soldiers hid under the shields. For a while, Dayong's arrow feathers also failed to play a role.

Seeing such a scene, Su Hui's face turned pale immediately, and she tugged Lahuo Mingzhu's sleeve in worry and said: "Empress Dowager, think of a way, if they are allowed to come up, what should we do?"

Huo Mingzhu remained silent, but stared at the battle below.

Speaking of which, Huo Mingzhu was also amazed that Su Hui had no fear in the face of such a tragic scene.Even she felt very uncomfortable looking at it.

In an instant, the ladder was successfully erected, but the rain of arrows from Dayong's side was even more desperate, so there was no time for them to take advantage of it.

Huo Mingzhu looked at it for a while, frowned and said: "If this goes on, it won't work. When the arrows will run out, Xiao Cui, please pass on the family's order to ask General Fang to send someone out to move the boulder."

Xiao Cui hesitated for a moment, then said: "Yes, this servant obeys."

After Xiao Cui left, Huo Mingzhu murmured a few words into Su Hui's ear, and she saw that Su Rui opened her eyes wide and looked at the direction Xiao Cui left, and then looked at Huo Mingzhu again.

Huo Mingzhu said: "Don't be in a daze, go."

"Yes, my concubine obeys." Su Yu immediately withdrew her surprised gaze, and set off to do what Huo Mingzhu had told her to do.

When the ladders were successfully placed on the city wall one by one, Huo Mingzhu's eyes were still calm and calm, she stared down without blinking.

Many Mobei soldiers climbed up the ladder, and Dayong poured kerosene on it. After the kerosene touched the ladder, it immediately burned. The flames rushed very fast, and soon burned the soldiers on the ladder. When they got up, the soldiers were in chaos when they realized that their bodies were burning, and jumped down from the ladder screaming.

Good kerosene seems to be no ordinary kerosene, it is not easy to get rid of when it is stained on people's clothes, therefore, countless soldiers died on the kerosene.

It's just that the Mobei soldiers are not easy to deal with. Even if they are stepping on the corpses of their companions, they can't stop rushing forward, trying to open the gap in the broken city.

Huo Mingzhu looked up and saw a figure sitting upright on the high platform in front of him, but he couldn't see his face clearly. However, the person standing beside him was obviously a lieutenant general. Immediately waving the flag in his hand, because of the flag he waved, the formation of the soldiers below kept changing.

Huo Mingzhu noticed that when they changed their formation, they stopped climbing up and pushed the catapult instead. Huo Mingzhu's expression changed. There will be an act of climbing the ladder, but they must be stupid. This catapult can throw stones on the city wall, but it can't hurt the lives of Dayong soldiers.

It's just because a stone that is too small can be thrown up, but it can't hurt people's lives. If a big stone is placed, whether it can be thrown up smoothly is still another matter.

Just when Huo Mingzhu was wondering, Mobei had already started to throw stones up. The stone was not too big or small, just the size of an adult's head, and it could be safely thrown into the top of the city wall, but it was as big as Huo Mingzhu thought. , unable to harm the lives of others.

However, Huo Mingzhu didn't take it lightly and thought that the Mobei Tartars were really stupid to act like this.

Sure enough, Huo Mingzhu hadn't even opened his mouth to tell the soldiers to be careful. Thick smoke suddenly came out of the stone, and the smoke made people's eyes so irritating that they couldn't open their eyes.

Huo Mingzhu's face changed drastically, she knew that the stone must be deceitful, so she shouted: "Throw the stone out, use a vertical shield to block the stone, be quick."

As soon as Huo Mingzhu finished speaking, the slightly flustered soldiers recovered a bit, and started to deal with the flying stones in an orderly manner according to Huo Mingzhu's words.

Some soldiers blocked the stone, and some soldiers continued to shoot arrows.

As a result, the measurement of the Mobei army became invalid, and the scene suddenly fell into a sluggish stage.

Huo Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, but saw Xiao Cui sneaking down the city wall and running towards the city gate. Huo Mingzhu saw it, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Cui couldn't bear it any longer after seeing the battle between the two rooms ended in a draw. As for what Huo Mingzhu told her to do, she didn't do it, but kept thinking about how to make Dayong lose In the end, after seeing that some soldiers had already arrived at the gate of the city, Xiao Cui came up with a method of coordinating internally and externally.

Although it would be very dangerous to do so, and she would lose her life at any time, but if she succeeded and helped the second prince to defeat Dayong, then her future would be limitless. For the sake of his meritorious service, it is not impossible to give himself to the second prince.

Thinking of this, Xiao Cui surged with infinite courage, and ran even faster towards the city gate.

However, when she approached the city gate, she was stopped by Fang Tieyi holding a long knife: "Xiao Cui, where are you going?"

"You idiot, don't let her run away, she's a spy." Even if Su Huan became Fang Tieyi's wife, sometimes she would call Fang Tieyi an idiot on a whim. Now, she has caught a spy, How can not make her happy.

Fang Tieyi was unhappy, not only because of the title, but also because he didn't realize that Xiao Cui was a spy, which was enough to make him angry.

Not to mention that Fang Tieyi has been here as a general for a long time, it's not like Huo Mingzhu just arrived here, when he was discussing strategy, he was obviously talented, but he didn't see that Xiao Cui was a spy.

To take a step back, this person was sent to Sulu's side by him.

However, if Huo Mingzhu knew that Fang Tieyi was depressed because he didn't see that this person was a spy, Huo Mingzhu would definitely find it funny.

Fang Tieyi, a big fool who can only see the war but not the woman, can't see Xiao Cui who has been carefully hidden. Only Huo Mingzhu, who is also a woman, can discover the difference in her.

"General Fang, why are you pointing at the servant with a big knife, did the servant do something wrong?" Xiao Cui still wanted to quibble, pretending to look pitifully at Fang Tieyi.

Fang Tieyi remained silent.

Su Hui said: "You have such a vicious heart, you actually used me and asked me to take you to eavesdrop on the general and the queen mother discussing military affairs. If the queen mother hadn't discovered your true face, I'm afraid you will ruin a big event now. Let me think about it, you appear here, I am afraid that you want to open the city gate."

Fang Tieyi snorted coldly: "Naively, my Dayong City Gate can actually be opened by a little girl like you."

Xiao Cui saw that these two people had confirmed her identity, and heard that Huo Mingzhu had seen her disguise, so she stopped pretending. She wanted to laugh when she heard what Su Ling said, but now she couldn't bear it any longer. Yes, looked up and laughed.

Some soldiers looked this way, they were puzzled, why this little maid laughed so pervertingly, but when there was a violent impact at the city gate, they didn't care about curiosity, the most important thing was to guard the city gate of.

"You can still laugh when you are about to die." Su Hui didn't know why she was laughing, so all she had to do was lie to her.

Xiao Cui was about to stop laughing, but after hearing what Sulu said, he laughed again, and said while laughing: "There is such a pure maidservant next to the majestic Empress Dowager Dayong, and she is still one of the generals of a country. Wife, this is so funny."

When Su Yu heard this, she was about to explode with anger.

"Haha, the dignified concubine Mobei came to my Dayong as a spy, and was caught straight. This is quite funny." Huo Mingzhu's voice came unhurriedly, and Xiao Cui's face was successfully smothered. The smile was knocked out.

Xiao Cui turned his head, and saw Huo Mingzhu walking towards this place unhurriedly, looking at her with sharp eyes, which made Xiao Cui's heart tremble uncontrollably.

Afterwards, she was annoyed that she was not Dayong's concubine, so she was afraid of their Dayong's queen mother, so she stood up straight with her head held high, and met Huo Mingzhu's sharp eyes.

Huo Mingzhu chuckled: "It's no surprise that she is a strong concubine, she is really strong."

When Xiao Cui heard it, no, it should be Concubine Lie.

As soon as she heard that Huo Mingzhu not only saw through her identity as a spy, but also as a concubine, how could this Huo Mingzhu be so powerful?
It's not that Huo Mingzhu has supernatural powers, but Baili Jingqi asked Baili Jingqi to point it out, and knew the identity of this concubine Lie, so she used it to deceive her.

"You, you actually know my identity." Concubine Lie was quite shocked, and looked at Huo Mingzhu in disbelief.

Huo Mingzhu said with a smile: "The Ai family knows more than that, how about it? I have to tell the Ai family one by one?" The sound of collisions in his ears became more and more intense, and Huo Mingzhu glanced at Fang Tieyi.

Fang Tieyi retreated immediately and went to the gate of the city to support.

After all, Xiao Cui is not as deep as Huo Mingzhu, she was speechless for a long time, Huo Mingzhu asked the guards to take the opportunity to tie her up: "Concubine Lie, how can you be presumptuous in front of Ai's family."

Concubine Lie couldn't break free, she could only stare at Huo Mingzhu and said, "Where did you find out my identity?"

"Since you want to know so much, Aijia will tell you because of the role you can play later." Huo Mingzhu said with a smile: "Your appearance is not like the people of Dayong, well, even if You are from Mobei, and you were captured and became my Dayong's slave because of your defeat. However, with your appearance, no one took you into the house. It's really strange. Yes, the Ai family is just praising you for being beautiful. "

Even if she was praised by Huo Mingzhu, Concubine Lie couldn't laugh. If she was arrested as a spy, if she got a good end, she would die and have a whole body. However, what Huo Mingzhu revealed just now, didn't she already say it? It made Concubine Lie very anxious to use her to great advantage.

Thinking of this, Concubine Lie thought that if she died, the second prince would not be implicated, and she would be a sinner if the battle failed because of her. With this thought, she would bite her tongue and kill herself.

But Huo Mingzhu was faster than her, and directly stuffed a cotton cloth into her mouth, preventing her from biting her tongue.

"Sulu, take off her clothes and hang them on the gate of the city." After finishing speaking, Huo Mingzhu leaned in front of Concubine Lie and said, "It would be the greatest favor to you to let you die in the hands of your Mobei people." .”
