This frail person is proud of himself, without the air of a general or any lofty ambitions, yet he is inexplicably reassuring.
The ministers from each battalion gradually left.
The figure in the wind still stood motionless, but the flying expression on her face gradually dimmed. It wasn't until Feng Sufu picked her up and strode towards the side hall that she realized that she had been shivering in the cold wind just now.
.
"Did I... say it too nicely?" Sitting on a chair, holding warm tea, her fingertips were still slightly cold.
"At least you gave them hope and peace of mind." Nothing is more important than stabilizing the morale of the military. Most of the people on the river front were refugees in the past, and they had an inexplicable fear of war. If the people are uneasy, the soldiers' morale will also weaken.
Only when the military and civilians work together can they exert their best combat effectiveness.
"Report!"
Outside the palace, a guard hurried in. "Report! Thirty miles outside our city, spies found traces of the Wei army. Report from the front, visual inspection shows that there are at least 200,000 troops."
Yang Xi held the cup tightly to prevent it from falling to the ground.
"Keep exploring!" Feng Sufu gently pressed her shoulder, "Here comes someone, prepare your horse!"
"yes!"
He took a deep look at her and said softly: "Don't be afraid, nothing will happen."
"I......"
"I'll take you back to rest." He gently picked her up and smiled, "The people on the front lines of the river are afraid of war, so the atmosphere will be tense. My eldest brother and I are both people who have experienced hundreds of battles. This kind of little
You won’t take the scene seriously at all, don’t worry.”
"But, you said that the most important thing in a war is morale and popular support..."
"I'll toughen them up."
"If Ba Zai..."
"If eldest brother is here, no one will be afraid anymore." Speaking of the eldest brother whom he respects the most, his eyebrows are filled with pride. "In their eyes, eldest brother is like a god. Gods can never be defeated."
She shook his big hand and smiled firmly. "I'll go with you."
"no......"
"Now, you are the only one left by my side, and why aren't you?" She blinked, a hint of naughtiness. "Although it may not be pleasant to work with you, I won't let you fight alone, and you shouldn't be left behind either.
Me alone."
His heart is warm.
"Okay, let's fight this battle for big brother together!"
On the city wall, the guards are still tight. Looking around, there is a great country. The arrival of the princess is like the king's personal presence, and the soldiers' spirits are lifted.
The Wei army is still in the invisible distance, but it will definitely reach the city within two days.
Along the river, surrounded by the sea on three sides, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as the city gate is not breached, the Wei army will not be able to do anything to them for a while. However, holding on to death is not an option.
"How many soldiers are there in our army?" She walked along the city wall and got a general understanding of the layout of the city.
"Including sailors, the total is 120,000."
"Sailor?" Her eyes lit up, "Sailor, does it mean that you are very good at water?"
"That's natural." Sailors have been trained for a long time. Compared with ordinary people, they are much better at floating and holding their breath in the water.
"Does Wei also have sailors?"
"The Northern Wei Dynasty was not close to the sea, and there were very few water battles in the past. Of course, there were sailors, but they were naturally one level lower than the superb sailors who were born along the rivers and close to the sea." Above the city wall, you can see it if you look around.
to distant seas.
There were more than a thousand warships in the Western Region... His eyes darkened slightly. The Tuoba clan was determined to destroy this side this time.
"How big were the warships of this era? How many soldiers were usually on one ship?"
"I'll take you to see it."
On the sea not far away, our warships are scattered everywhere. At a glance, there are quite a few.
"Wei's warships are almost the same as ours, except that the hull is slightly wider and can accommodate more than a hundred people per ship. Not many of their soldiers are familiar with water, and some soldiers will feel dizzy when riding on the ship.
, so their ship must be stable and the hull must be wide." Feng Sufu pointed out to her one by one.
"But once the hull is wider, the boat can't sail any faster."
"right."
She arched her eyebrows and felt happy in her heart. "Now that's good! Your oily stone water may come in handy."
"you mean......"
"Shh." She glanced around mischievously with her smart eyes, "Can't you say now that you forgot that we still have unfinished business?"
His fingertips touched the top of her head, "You are smart, finish the matter first."
Two people and one horse ran through the billowing dust again.
Back in Dragon City, the two of them were thinking about what to do next, but something happened in the main hall.
In the main hall, the guard commander was escorting Xintong, waiting for their return.
"Miss!" Xintong saw Yang Xi and immediately exclaimed, "Miss, help me."
Yang Xi glanced at the commander of the guards and his face darkened. "What do you mean by capturing my maid?"
"Princess!" The commander bowed respectfully and said, "Back to Princess, we found this maid flying carrier pigeons in the backyard. I suspect she is a spy of the Wei State."
"Homing pigeon?" She was startled and looked up at Xintong, "If you wake up and don't rest in your room, what are you doing in the backyard?"
"I...I heard them say that there was going to be a war. I was scared. I wanted to find my little sister. They..." Xintong glanced at Bai Qian who had been silent all the time.
, with fear in his eyes, "Miss, let's leave here, the people here...here..."
"Don't be afraid, as long as I'm here, they won't dare to bully you." Yang Xi glared at the commander, who let go of Xintong and stepped aside consciously. She turned back, her eyes fell on Bai Qian, and said in a deep voice: "You
And why do you appear here? This matter also has something to do with you?"
"Back to Princess, I found this maid flying carrier pigeons." Bai Qian looked at her and replied with no humility.
"I didn't, miss!" Xintong leaned closer to Yang Xi. She stared at Bai Qian, her little body trembling slightly. "Why do you lie? Why do you want to harm me? It's obviously you...
"
Bai Qian's eyes fixed, Xintong bit her lip, lowered her head and stopped talking, but two tears slipped silently from the corners of her eyes.
Yang Xi wiped away her tears and said softly: "What did she do? Just say it, don't be afraid."
"I...she didn't do...anything." She sniffed and suddenly grabbed Yang Xi's hand tightly and begged: "Miss, let's go back to the prince.
I treat you sincerely! This place, the people here... they are all bad people, they will harm you, you follow me."
"Please, miss, come back with me." She knelt on the ground with a plop, pleading: "Don't stay here, their king... he doesn't really treat you, miss, come with me.
