Chapter 879 This Water Is Not Fragrant, It Doesn't Taste Good
Di Luoxi also felt strange. The soldiers in Caishi City suffered heavy casualties. If Nanliang continued to attack fiercely, they would definitely not be able to defend it.
"There is a problem on the Nanliang side, or there is a victory on the Linjiang City side."
Di Luoxi made a judgment immediately.
Li Xiannan asked: "Is it possible that the Holy One has arrived?"
Di Luoxi shook her head slightly, she didn't know either.
After Xue Ze and the others retreated, Nanliang's army began to retreat, only staring at Caishi City from a distance.
"Send fast horses and contact Linjiang City."
Di Luoxi needs information from Linjiang City.
Before, people couldn't get out, and even flying eagles sending messages were shot down.
Li Xiannan was about to send out his fast horse when he saw Yingfeng leading a cavalry team to the city.
Di Luoxi immediately went down to the city. Yingfeng came in and saw the heavy casualties in the city. He said pitifully: "Princess, the fighting here was so brutal!"
Di Luoxi pointed to the outside of the city and said, "It doesn't matter, they will die more."
When the two sides are evenly matched, the attacking side will definitely suffer more serious casualties.
"Is your mother coming?"
"Yes, Your Majesty arrived at Linjiang City. Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai retreated ten miles. Your Majesty sent me over to see the situation in Caishi City."
"You saw it too, that's it."
After entering the commander's residence, Li Xiannan summoned all the generals. Qingyue stayed in the room because she was injured.
"The Queen Mother has arrived in Linjiang City, everyone can rest assured."
Di Luoxi told everyone the most important news first.
When they heard that the empress was coming in person, all the generals breathed a sigh of relief.
Nanliang's attack was too fierce this time, and everyone felt that there would be a day when they could not hold on.
Finally, the empress arrived, and Nanliang retreated.
"There is also good news for everyone. Dazhu Kingdom has recovered and has rushed to Jade Buddha Pass. It is estimated that Xixia has been defeated by this time."
Yingfeng knew that many people were worried about Long Chen's safety, so she also told the good news.
Di Luoxi, Wu Chuchu and the other female generals felt relieved.
"Xiao Longlong went to Jade Buddha Pass, and the situation was stabilized."
Xuan Yi hugged Wu Xiangyun and said happily.
The empress is in Linjiang City and Nanliang dare not move. When Long Chen arrives at Jade Buddha Pass, Xixia will definitely suffer.
In this way, the situation on both sides has stabilized.
"The Holy One has ordered me to come here to offer condolences. The supplies will be shipped one after another. Just hold on and wait until good news comes from Jade Buddha Pass. It's time for Nanliang to withdraw its troops."
Di Luoxi nodded and said, "I guess so too. It was the same in Nanliang last time."
The news of the empress's personal expedition spread throughout Caishi City, and the soldiers were excited. Supplies and various medicinal materials were sent into Caishi City. The situation was stabilized, and everyone was waiting for news about Jade Buddha Pass.
....
To the north of Xixia, a group of 500 cavalrymen marched rapidly.
The equipment and armor of the cavalry are all dressed up as Western Xia iron kites, and there is no difference.
"Sir, there is someone in front of you!"
There was a burst of dust flying ahead, and Long Chen saw a group of hundreds of cavalry rushing over.
"Ready to fight!"
Bai Tingting shouted in a low voice.
Long Chen waved his hand and said: "Slow down, follow my orders! Keep moving forward."
The cavalry continued to advance north, and the two sides soon encountered each other.
"Which army do you belong to?"
The general leading the team on the opposite side stood on horseback and shouted.
Long Chen took out his belt, waved it, and said: "On the orders of the Imperial Master, we are going to hunt down the Eastern Zhou Rangers! Which unit are you from?"
The general leading the team said: "I am Mao Jian, the captain of the Yuncheng School, and I have been ordered to search for traces of the Eastern Zhou bandits. Didn't you receive the king's order?"
Long Chen shook his head and said: "We came out of the Jade Buddha Pass, and the Imperial Master ordered us to search north. We didn't stop along the way, and we didn't know the king's order."
The captain saw these people wearing iron kite armor and their bodies were covered with dust. They looked like they had been running for a long distance.
"Yesterday we received a message from the Royal Palace Flying Eagle, saying that the king raised 200,000 troops to round up the Eastern Zhou bandits. We were ordered to search."
Long Chen said in astonishment: "The Imperial Preceptor said that the bandits of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty were only a few hundred people, and after several major battles, it was estimated that there were less than 200 people. The king actually raised 200,000 troops. This..."
Captain Yuncheng shook his head and said: "Brother, I am also very surprised. I heard that the rogue bandits are important figures in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and the king is determined to capture them."
Long Chen nodded slightly and said: "We have been out for many days, but we don't know this news."
"Brother, haven't you seen any traces of bandits in the north?"
Captain Yuncheng said: "No, we are going south to search. Don't go north, go south."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Brother, even if we come from the south, there is no such thing."
Captain Yuncheng scolded: "His grandma, how can we find these hundreds of bandits?"
Long Chen raised his head and glanced at the scorching sun, and said: "Forget it, we are all working under orders. The sun is very poisonous today. You go your way and I go mine. Take a break at noon and you will die from the sun!"
Captain Yuncheng thought so. Anyway, with 200,000 troops rounding up and searching, that would be enough.
"Okay, let's go!"
Captain Yuncheng led the cavalry to continue searching south, while Long Chen rode his horse to go north.
When they were far away, Bai Tingting said in surprise: "Sir, let's go back. Shi Le has raised an army of 200,000 to round him up. This is no joke."
Captain Leng Yu also broke out in a cold sweat and said: "Sir, two hundred thousand, you are kidding, we are only 500 people."
The general behind him was also frightened.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Shi Le thinks highly of us, so we have to give him face. If he wants to play, we will play with him."
Bai Tingting said: "But the difference in strength is too big. They have 200,000 and we only have 500. How can we fight?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "Who said we want to fight them? We run around and take them for a walk."
Seeing that Long Chen was confident, Bai Tingting said nothing and continued heading north.
Half a day later, Long Chen arrived at a city in the north.
This is the northernmost fortress of Xixia - Yuncheng.
That's where the captain just came from.
In the past, Xixia had a good relationship with the barbarians, so there was no need to defend the border, and all the troops were placed in Zhenguo Temple to confront the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
After Long Chen pacified the barbarian grasslands, Xixia began to rebuild Yuncheng and stationed troops to guard it.
"arrive."
Long Chen looked at Yuncheng and said.
Captain Leng Yu said: "Yuncheng, the gateway between Xixia and the barbarians, has a garrison of 10,000."
The soldiers looked at Long Chen, obviously worried.
Ten thousand defenders are not many, but Long Chen's troops are even smaller, making it impractical to attack the city.
"There may not necessarily be so many in the city. Didn't we just encounter cavalry who were searching outside?"
"Come in with me and have a look. Be careful and don't reveal your secrets. If you don't know how to act, just pretend to be tired."
Long Chen gave the orders and then rode to the city.
The gates of Yuncheng are closed.
Xixia currently has a bad relationship with the barbarians, and is afraid that Long Chen will escape to the grassland, so the city gates are not open.
"Brother, open the door!"
Long Chen shouted to the city.
The Yuncheng defenders also saw Long Chen and saw that the armor was from an iron kite, so they did not fire arrows.
"Where did you come from!"
"Brother, we came from Jade Buddha Pass to search for bandits under the orders of the Imperial Master. We have been running for several days. We are all thirsty. Please give us some water!"
