Chapter 127 The Empress and Heroine Who Died for the Country VI
Chapter 127 The heroine Di Ji who died for her country (6)
Lin Zhen stayed in this mansion for two days.
She originally planned to wait until she settled in to find out the situation around the house - mainly to find out the situation at Li Mo's house next door, and then go out to observe what Pingguan was like.
A few days later, everyone had just cleaned up the yard. That morning, when Lin Zhenzhen was standing on the pavilion observing what was going on in the house next door, he suddenly heard a loud shouting of murder coming from outside.
She stood on the pavilion, leaning on the railing and looking towards the city wall in the distance: "What's going on?"
There were too many buildings in the city, which somewhat blocked the view, and it was not clear where the shouts of killing came from.
Lin Zhen looked around, then jumped down from the fence on the second floor in a hurry, landing in the middle of the courtyard in a slightly sad posture, shocking the maid sweeping the courtyard.
The maid was stunned for a while, then she came forward with tears in her eyes and tried to support Lin Zhen: "Your Highness, what are you doing...don't think too hard..."
Lin Zhen, who was about to run out of the house but was held up: "..."
Lin Zhen: "I'm not overthinking it. Be good, Bai Lu. Can you let me go?"
Bai Lu's tears came as soon as she said it. She puffed up her little face like a bun and looked at Lin Zhen with tearful eyes. She didn't believe her words at all: "Your Highness, you jumped down from the building..."
"I jumped down from the building, yes." Lin Zhen looked at her crying with snot and tears, and said dryly, "How about I jump back again?"
That picture might be a little weird.
Seeing that Bai Lu seemed to be crying more and more, Lin Zhen pressed his temples with a headache and shouted outside the courtyard: "Bai Jia! Bai Jia!"
A tall maid heard the sound and walked in: "Your Highness."
Lin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly called her over. He pushed Bai Lu, who was holding him in tears, to her. He coughed dryly and said, "Ahem, Bai Lu is crying again for some reason. Please calm me down."
Go out if you have something to do."
After leaving Bai Lu to the reliable Bai Jia, Lin Zhen quickly ran out of the house, identified the direction from which the shouts of death came, and ran towards the city gate.
When Lin Zhen arrived at the city gate, the city wall was already full of people, and there was also a large group of people below, carrying stones and rolling logs to the city wall. Nervous shouts could be heard everywhere: "Hurry up.
, hurry up! This way!"
Lin Zhen saw a familiar figure in the crowd.
She walked over and asked, "Mr. Feng, what's going on?"
"What else could be going on?" Feng Yue looked worried. "The Huns are attacking the city again."
"Why are they here again? Are they so idle?" Lin Zhen complained a few words and then asked, "Can I go up to the city wall and have a look?"
"Ah?" Mr. Feng seemed a little unable to believe his ears, "Di Ji, where do you want to see?"
This man doesn't look very old, so why is he deaf?
Lin Zhen glanced at Mr. Feng's ear with some sympathy, pointed at the top of the city wall, and said loudly: "I want to go to the top of the city wall to have a look!"
Mr. Feng was now sure that he heard clearly, but his expression became more and more entangled: "Emperor Ji, the swords on the city wall have no eyes, it is best not to go!"
Lin Zhen waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's okay. I'll go see if I can be of any help."
Feng Yue felt as if he was holding a breath in his throat: "No, Di Ji, how can you help?"
As soon as he said this, he felt that something was wrong with his tone. Fortunately, he still remembered Li Mo's instructions and naturally changed the subject: "Emperor Ji, please rest assured and go back to your home to rest. We are guarding here. The Huns can't get in."
.”
"Do you really don't need help? It looks like it's a little difficult to defend." Lin Zhen scratched his head, "If you don't need help, I will go back."
"No!" A young general who had been rescued by Lin Zhen on the battlefield happened to be passing by nearby. He smiled and invited, "We need help here!"
Mr. Feng was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him: "Nonsense, how can you let Di Ji go to defend the city! If Di Ji does anything good, don't you think the general will skin you!"
"No way." The man looked confused, "Di Ji is amazing. When our team was surrounded by the Huns, it was Di Ji who rescued us?"
Feng Yue has never heard of this matter, but this does not prevent him from being angry with this Tiehanhan: "So can the Emperor Ji be allowed to defend the city?"
"Why not?"
Lin Zhen and the young general asked her sincere questions in unison, leaving Feng Yue speechless.
Seeing their backs as they excitedly walked up the city wall, Feng Yue looked helpless and followed them with abandon: Oh, why do you want me to take on such a difficult job...
Who would have thought that after Lin Zhen and the young general discovered Feng Yue who was following them, they looked more troubled than Feng Yue: "Mr. Feng, the wall is dangerous, why don't you go to the city?"
Feng Yue: No, after all, I have been with the army for so many years. A weak girl like Di Ji can come, so there is no reason why I can’t come? If I really go now, won’t people look down on me?
And I have to watch Di Ji, I can’t let anything happen to her under my nose...
So he raised his head stubbornly: "No, I also want to defend the city here."
The two of them pulled the stubborn guy inside in a tacit understanding: "Okay, then stand a little further inside so that no one will hit you."
After settling Mr. Feng, Lin Zhen stood on the city wall and looked out of the city. She saw a large number of flags slowly floating towards Pingguan. She made a rough estimate that this wave of flags was probably dispatched.
More than 10,000 people.
This formation is quite large compared to the more than 3,000 defenders in the city.
Lin Zhen took a bow and arrow from the side and shot arrows at the Huns who were climbing the wall under the city out of boredom. He had an urge in his heart to make some bombs and throw them.
However, when she shoots an arrow like this, she can often hit three or four arrows in a row. The efficiency is quite good, which barely makes her give up the idea of rubbing bombs with her hands.
After an hour or two of this, the Xiongnu side saw that there was no chance to take advantage of it, so they pretended to attack for a while, and the attacking troops withdrew. They began to beat the drums "rumbling", and a general rode out of the formation, shouting curses.
Said: "Li Mo, come out of the city and fight me to the death!"
The surrounding Huns soldiers shouted: "Li Mo is afraid of the general and does not dare to fight!"
"Hahaha, I think he is dead!"
It's a very common way to provoke generals, but it's very effective. After hearing this, the defenders on the city wall opened their eyes angrily: "Damn Huns! Wait until I get out of the city to kill this man!"
