Chapter 437: The eve of the siege

The group of people hadn't gone far when they saw the large craters on both sides of the official road after the explosion were full of army horses lying on the ground, as well as countless severed limbs and broken arms. It looked frightening from a distance.

Wang Tianhua and Wei Qingyu, together with the soldiers, were giving medicine to the war horses. They looked at Li Ye who was riding on the horse and walked over from the roadside.

"National Master, why are you here?" Wang Tianhua walked around the stumps on the grass, looked at Li Ye on the horse, raised his head and asked.

"I'll go over and join Jiang Shuai first." Li Ye looked down at him, Wei Qingyu and others, frowned and said: "Process it as soon as possible and bury these stumps and broken arms. They will stink after a long time.

It will cause a plague."

"We have sent the injured back to Nanyun City."

"Then find a pit and bury these corpses, mark them, and set up a stone monument after the battle." Li Ye sighed.

The murder committed this time was even heavier. Seeing the soldiers scattered on the wasteland couldn't stand the smell, with towels covering their faces, Li Ye felt depressed and uncomfortable.

"These war horses are much better than ours." Wang Tianhua saw Li Ye feeling uncomfortable and quickly changed the topic.

Li Ye looked at him and said calmly: "Isn't it just for this purpose that we have spent so much effort?"

"Princess, do you also want to go to the front line with the imperial master?" Wei Qingyu looked at Mu Mu on the horse and asked softly.

Mu Mu turned her head and looked at Wei Qingyu, whose face was also covered with a silk scarf, and said with a smile: "Sister Wei, I'll wait for you in front."

Wei Qingyu nodded to her and said, "You might as well go first, it really stinks here."

Mu Mu made a face for her through the silk scarf, and said with a smile: "Remember to buy more snacks before leaving the city tomorrow."

Wei Qingyu looked at her and nodded.

Mu Mu then asked: "Do you want me to give you money?"

Wei Qingyu rolled her eyes at her and said with a smile: "I don't seem to be short of this little money, right?"

Mu Mu looked at her and chuckled, waving the riding crop in her hand and said, "Okay, when we return to the Imperial City, I'll treat you to Huamanlou for dinner."

In Mumu's mind, where can I spend my own money after going to Huamanlou?

As long as Hua Tianxia exists, it won't be her turn to pay the bill.

Li Ye chatted with Wang Tianhua for a few more words, then left in a hurry with a group of people.

They would not be able to reach the inn before evening.

Wei Qingyu looked at Li Ye and his party who were leaving Weiwei, and said softly: "Winning this big battle depends entirely on the ingenious plan of the national master."

"That's right, if the imperial master hadn't cured the fire poison of the whole city, I don't know how many people would still be lying in bed now." Wang Tianhua said quietly.

"Brothers, work harder and try to join the national army tomorrow! Let's fight to the three towns together." Wang Tianhua turned his head and looked at a group of soldiers and shouted.

...

With a trace of regret that could not be dismissed, Li Ye led Mu Mu and the others and ran wildly in the dusk.

Finally, at the end of Xu Shi, he arrived at the inn to join Jiang Huo and others' 20,000-strong army. The soldiers knew they were coming and had already prepared dinner. As soon as the troops arrived, Ma Tianyun took his 200 brothers to camp for dinner.

Jiang Huo didn't expect that Li Yehui would arrive at Xingye. He was sitting in the lobby of the inn and discussing tomorrow's plan with Long Potian. When he saw Li Ye walking in, the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

.

With the Imperial Guard in charge, they basically don't have to worry about the war.

"What are you two laughing at?" Li Ye found a chair and sat down. After traveling for several hours, he was inevitably a little tired.

Mu Mu sat down next to him, looked at Jiang Huo and shouted: "Deputy Commander Jiang, is there anything to eat? I'm going to starve to death."

Jiang Huo looked at her and smiled and said, "The food has been prepared a long time ago. We are just waiting for the imperial master and the princess to come over." After saying this, he gave instructions to the guards outside the door to bring the prepared food.

Long Potian looked at Li Ye with excitement and said, "Would you like to have a drink to celebrate a little?"

Li Ye looked up at him and said with a smile: "My mouth is full of the smell of horse shit and vegetable leaves. A drink will just go away the smell."

Jiang Huo clapped his hands and shouted: "That's exactly what I meant!"

The two of them came all the way, and their mouths and noses were filled with the stench of sewage gas after the explosion, which has not been removed until now.

Seeing the two of them, Li Ye could tell what he was thinking at a glance. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He touched his head and smiled and said, "Well, were there any casualties during your pursuit this way?"

When Long Potian heard this, he quickly stepped forward and respectfully replied: "National Preceptor, there are many injured, but none were killed."

Jiang Huo looked at Li Ye's silent look and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the injury is minor. There is no need to send him back to Nanyun City. He can just rest with the army."

Li Ye was silent for a while, reached out and knocked lightly on the table a few times, then looked up at the two of them and said calmly: "That's okay, let them rest in the military camp, and we will go to the three towns after the large group of people arrive.

.”

"Don't we take the opportunity to attack the city tomorrow?" Jiang Huo asked puzzledly: "Is this a rare opportunity?"

Li Ye smiled and said nothing.

The way Mu Mu looked at him, the old god said quietly: "Sir said not to rush the rabbit. I think my brother thinks the same way."

Long Potian looked at Mu Mu and asked in confusion: "What does this mean?"

Mu Mu shook his head and said loudly: "Sir, if you push the rabbit into a hurry, it will bite you!" After speaking, he looked at Li Ye with a smile.

When Jiang Huo heard this, he looked at Long Potian and burst out laughing. "Shuai Long, you didn't expect the princess to be so funny, right?"

"I'm stupid, but what the princess said is true. They just lost a battle. We can't push them too hastily." Long Potian also laughed.

Long Potian glanced at him and said: "But they will definitely not give up here. I'm afraid they will fight back and bite us in turn?"

Li Ye looked at his nervous look and said with a smile: "I heard it said that when a rabbit is frightened, as long as you don't chase it too hastily, its immediate reaction is to find a place to hide."

Mu Mu shook her head and ran around the room, rubbing her belly non-stop.

Li Ye looked at her exaggerated look and smiled bitterly: "Mu Mu, come and sit down. Your current practice is such that even if you don't eat for seven days, you won't starve to death."

Mu Mu glared at him and sat down next to him obediently.

I don’t know when Mu Mu stopped bickering with Li Ye easily.

Gently bumping Li Ye's shoulder, Mu Mu smiled and said, "I'm disgusted too. I'll have a drink later."

Li Ye looked back at her and replied, "Just half a cup."

...

The next day, Li Ye and Mu Mu both slept in because there was no fighting today.

Li Ye walked out of the house and looked up at the blue sky, took a deep breath, took out his bamboo sword and started practicing with one sword after another in the courtyard of the inn.

Having not practiced swordsmanship for a long time, he felt that the bamboo sword was swinging more and more freely in his hand, thinking that maybe it wouldn't be long before he could catch up with his master's amazing sword.

Recalling from afar the scene in which his master chopped off fifteen snowflakes with one sword on the Tianshan Mountains, Li Ye had an unspeakable emotion in his heart. After practicing hard for many years, he finally narrowed the distance between him and his master.

I just thought of my husband practicing his own Falling Leaf Sword Technique, but I felt a little disappointed. Even though I spent a lot of effort, I couldn't get started. The reaction was that Mu Mu unintentionally taught her the Falling Leaf Sword Technique.

The small courtyard was very quiet. Only Li Ye stood under the morning sunshine and waved the bamboo sword in his hand again and again.

After waking up, Mu Mu moved a chair and sat under the eaves, watching for a long time. She couldn't help but said, "Brother, is this how you practice swordsmanship without any effort?"

"It's not like we're on the battlefield, why are we spending so much energy?" Li Ye looked back at her.

"But, isn't this how Mu Mu practices swordsmanship?" Mu Mu asked in confusion.

"The sword technique you practice requires the release of true energy, which is naturally different from mine. I just want to maintain the speed of each sword without spending more strength." Li Ye replied quietly.

After listening to his words, Mu Mu thought for a while and replied: "Can I practice swordsmanship like yours? Mumu thinks it's fun to practice swordsmanship like this that doesn't require any effort."

Li Ye looked back at her, thought for a while, and replied seriously: "Your sword skills are different from my sword skills. I want to learn from you but I can't learn from you. There is no need for you to go back and learn from me."

Mu Mu looked at him and curled her lips, then said: "I told my husband, he said that my brother couldn't learn Mu Mu's sword skills, and my brother's sword skills were also difficult for Mu Mu to learn. Is this true?"

"It's true. You haven't forgotten the time when we practiced swordsmanship on Tianshan Mountain, right? I can't learn Sir's Falling Leaf Sword Technique, but Mu Mu, you have learned the Falling Leaf Sword Technique, and you are still the best." Li Ye said sincerely.

Praise.

Mu Mu also knew this and looked at Li Ye weakly swinging sword after sword before turning around and walking back into the house.

She is going to have breakfast.

Mumu would not let herself go hungry unless there was something important.

...

At about six o'clock, Jiang Huo came to Li Ye and brought news about the three towns.

"The news from the front is that the grassland tribes in the three towns have stayed behind closed doors since they returned to the city yesterday, and the city gates were also tightly closed, looking like they were facing a formidable enemy." Jiang Huo looked at him quietly.

said.

"If I were them, I would abandon the city." Li Ye looked at him and smiled lightly.

Jiang Huo looked at him and replied in surprise: "How is this possible?"

"Well, I also know that they won't be willing to stop here, so they are just them." Li Ye said with a smile.

"According to the advice of the Imperial Master, they will have to pay a higher price? Is this possible?"

Li Ye looked at him jokingly and said: "It's not impossible, but it will definitely happen. If we don't beat them until they can't fight back, they won't want to withdraw from the three towns in southern Xinjiang."

"Then when will we fight to the third town?" Jiang Huo asked puzzledly: "Should I wait for the Generalissimo and the others, am I right?"

Thinking about yesterday's battle without a direct confrontation, Li Ye said disdainfully: "Let them go for a few days. When we all arrive, we will set up camp outside the three towns."

"Camp outside the three towns? One or three?" Jiang Huo was shocked. He didn't expect the national army to be so radical. After all, there were still more than 100,000 troops from the grassland tribes, which was comparable to the southern Xinjiang army.

"They are now frightened birds. Let's just divide them and annihilate them." Li Ye looked at the sky outside the hall and replied calmly.

In Li Ye's opinion, he either didn't encircle any of them, or if he wanted to encircle them, he would have to encircle the three towns so that the kings would not be able to care about the end. He would repeat his old plan and take back the three towns one by one.

"Then our battle front is very long, isn't it? Jiang Huo seems to have returned to that surprise battle in winter.

Li Ye looked at him and couldn't help but laugh, and said lightly: "Aren't their battle lines equally long? We are each other, who is afraid of whom?"

He couldn't wait to win this battle and returned to the imperial city as soon as possible to face the things that were more troublesome than this war.

Based on his view of the second prince, I am afraid that by now, the imperial city is already in turmoil and chaos will arise.

Although he didn't know whether the emperor had already followed his husband to Tianshan Mountain, he knew that the second prince would definitely not miss this golden opportunity.

Will the Imperial City become another Nanyun City because of the selfishness of the second prince?
