Chapter 1179: The Most Beautiful Man in the World's Road to a Powerful Minister (10)
The city of Yuzhou was filled with lifelessness.
Almost all the people in the city who could go to the battlefield, regardless of men, women, old or young, went to the battlefield.
This is the kind of woman who will be envied by people like Cui Rong in later generations. She can go into battle and kill enemies with a heroic appearance.
However, in later generations, there is peace and stability, and women wearing military uniforms to protect their homes and countries are free and voluntary.
During this period, women went to the battlefield because the men were dead and women had no choice.
The same goes for the female soldiers in Yuzhou City, and so does Li Xiu.
The city's bows and arrows were cut off, its food supplies were exhausted, and its morale was low.
Li Xiu looked at the darkening sky and let out a long sigh.
Now, the only thing she can count on is Gujiabao.
A soldier beside him said: "Miss, the rebels are attacking the city again. We cannot defend this city."
Li Xiu held the knife in his hand and said: "I heard from my father that Gu Ziji, the boss of Gujiabao, is a man with a righteous heart and the overall situation. He will definitely not watch the Jie people conquer Yuzhou. Let's... wait a moment
Bar."
"Miss, if Gujiabao takes action, his vitality will be severely damaged. When the Yuzhou family attacks, how can Gujiabao escape unscathed? Since Lord Gujiabao is smart, he will not wade into this muddy water. Yuzhou, there is no such thing.
Reinforcements are coming!”
Another soldier said: "Miss, we have been holding on till now and we are worthy of the imperial court. Let's withdraw!"
Li Xiu looked inside the city and saw that there were tens of thousands of unarmed people in Yuzhou City.
She shook her head, "The imperial court is unkind, but we cannot be ashamed of the officers and soldiers of the three armies. Now there is Yanzhou, and Xuzhou encounters rebellion. If we retreat, Yanzhou and Xuzhou will be attacked from both sides on the battlefield. My father is a minister of the imperial court, loyal and unyielding, and will defend Yuzhou to the end.
, died in the line of duty, I will never be a deserter and dishonor my father's reputation."
He also said: "If I can stop the rebel army from entering the city with my death, inflame the morale of the army, and make the mourning army win, then why should I be afraid of sacrificing my life for the country?"
But she knew that she was determined to die today, but she could not let these soldiers follow her to death.
They all have families and concerns...
"If you want to leave, go ahead."
Li Xiu and even the female prostitutes wouldn't leave, so how could they leave?
"That's all. You are a dead man wherever you go. If you are buried in the battlefield, you will be worthy of the people of Yuzhou."
The soldiers looked determined, "Miss, we will follow you and never retreat!"
"Okay, all officers and soldiers will obey the order and defend Yuzhou to the death, and will never retreat!"
The Jie people under the city have been trying to attack the city, and the situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable for Yuzhou.
But just when the battle was at its fiercest, a white horse kicked from a distance and suddenly broke into the chaotic battlefield.
The owner of the white horse was wearing a white armor, and when he swung out a long spear, he was surrounded by thousands of troops, invincible, and after a few kills, the Jie people began to feel frightened.
Li Xiu saw him on the city wall with a silver spear and a white horse, coming across the sky like a cloud and the sun, and asked: "Who is that?"
Someone who had dealt with Xie Zhao said, "It's Xie Tunan, the fierce general under Lord Gu's fort! It's reinforcements from Gu's Fort!"
At this time, Xie Zhao even raised his voice and shouted: "The Jingzhou reinforcements have arrived! Please open the city gate as soon as possible and wipe out the rebel army!"
As his words fell, the sound of hooves rumbled around, as if thousands of troops were coming.
When the Jie people saw it, they thought reinforcements were really coming, so they hurriedly retreated.
When Li Xiu saw that the Jie people had left, he opened the city gate and welcomed Xie Tunan into the city.
The soldiers of Yuzhou looked for a long time, but saw no reinforcements from Xie Tunan, only a group of people delivering food and weapons, and asked:
"Didn't you bring reinforcements from Jingzhou?"
Someone in Gujiabao said with a smile: "Aren't we just reinforcements?"
Then I learned the ventriloquism skills of the thousands of troops on the spot.
Yuzhou soldiers, "..."
Can you still play like this?
However, the Jie people will soon realize that they have been fooled. There are no reinforcements in Yuzhou, and they will definitely launch a more violent attack.
This war is far from over.
However, with the provision of food, grass and weapons, and Li Xiu herself being a girl with military talents, she actually delayed Jieren for three months.
The Jie people couldn't bear it any longer and began to attack Yuzhou in a desperate fight.
Success or failure depends on this battle. Before Yuzhou City sent troops, a swearing-in ceremony was held.
Li Xiu said to Xie Zhao: "General Xie, now that the war is imminent, you should take the people from Gujiabao out of the city."
Xie Zhao wiped one of his spears without raising his head and said, "I have an old friend coming, and I'm waiting for him here."
Li Xiu, "...?"
If Xie Zhao refused to leave, she naturally had no choice but to go out of the city to meet the enemy.
But she didn't expect that Xie Zhao also brought the people who came from Gujiabao to deliver food and went to the battlefield with her.
Li Xiu admired their courage, but couldn't bear it.
After all, they were here to deliver food, but they went to the battlefield to be cannon fodder, which always made her feel sorry for Gujiabao.
Who would have imagined that this group of ordinary people delivering food, who seemed to have no lethality at all on weekdays, turned out to be one against ten on the battlefield, and they were so brave that the soldiers in Yuzhou felt like they had been killed.
, morale immediately soared.
The battle lasted from morning to afternoon, and Xie Zhao was already covered in blood, and even his facial features could not be seen.
Only the spear was still as bright as frost and snow, and its brilliance was like a giant dragon coiling around.
When the setting sun was still hanging on the distant mountains, he saw a man riding a horse in the distance from his spear.
The green ribbon in the man's hair and his robe were blown up by the wind, as if an immortal was stepping on auspicious clouds.
Xie Zhao wiped the blood from his face and turned around. Li Xiu saw that he was in a daze, regardless of the crisis behind him, and shouted: "Be careful!"
Xie Zhao didn't look back, but stabbed the Jieren who was sneaking up behind him with a backhand shot, and then said:
"My old friend is here."
Li Xiu looked over and saw Gu Mo.
She only saw that face and knew Gu Mo's identity without any introduction.
The most beautiful man in the world turns out to be such a beautiful man.
When Gu Mo appeared on the battlefield, not to mention the officers and soldiers of Yuzhou, even the Jie people were stunned.
Aesthetically speaking, humans are all connected regardless of race.
The battlefield that was filled with smoke and fierce fighting suddenly became completely quiet, as if the pause button had been pressed.
It wasn't until the reinforcements led by Gu Mo rushed into the battlefield that the battlefield returned to normal.
Gu Mo, on the other hand, was riding a horse as calmly on the battlefield as if he were strolling in his own back garden.
The strange thing is that the Jie people's swords automatically avoided him, as if letting blood stain his body became a kind of blasphemy.
This magnanimity and ability made all the disciples from the aristocratic families who were watching the battle on the mountain stunned.
"It is said that Gu Ziji is just a villain because of his fake charts. Only when I met him today did I realize that the rumors were wrong. They were just spreading rumors."
They all claim to be magnanimous and famous people, but in front of the two armies, they can't do what Gu Ziji did.
At this time, another descendant of the aristocratic family who came slowly looked at Gu Mo's back and asked, "Is that Gu Ziji, the master of Gujiabao?"
