MTL - The White-Haired Imperial Concubine-Chapter 206 Finale (2)
206 Finale (2)
"Yes, general. Madam, please." Vice Admiral Yao made a gesture of please, but he sat still, looking at the three of them one by one, with sharp eyes, pressing Xiang Wu's eyes, Shen Chant: "As a city defender, this battle has just begun, and you are so unsure, how can you lead the battle?"
Xiang Wu Yiyi was busy and replied: "The minister is not unconfident, but the military strength between the enemy and us is too great. The minister can coexist and die with Wucheng, but the mother ..."
After waiting for him to finish, he cut off, "You don't need to worry about the security of this palace. Imagine that if Wucheng, which has 50,000 defenders, can't be maintained, then Jiangdu Palace with only a few thousand banned troops can be secured again. How many days? Since this palace is here, naturally it will help the generals to protect the security of Wuwu City. "
Xiang Wu thinks that what she said is also reasonable. After Wucheng is over, Jiangdu will not be able to keep it, but how can a woman keep her city safe? She was puzzled in her heart, but when she saw her calm face, her eyes glowed, her voice was quite confident, and she couldn't help asking, "Mother, my mother brought reinforcements?"
Frowning frowningly, he asked, "The Imperial Palace Guards have all been sent to the disaster area. How can we bring them?"
Xiang Yiyi said, "Is that lady brought a chariot and a secret weapon?"
Man Yan said: "The gunpowder is used to open mountains and dig rocks to divert floods. There is no surplus."
Upon hearing, the two vice-presidents unconsciously showed disappointment in their eyes, as did Xiang Wu, but they covered up better. He frowned slightly and thought for a while, and then asked, "The only two people who came this time were the damsel and the girl Xiao. ? "
Xiao Ke was unhappy and stared. "Just the two of us, what's wrong? Do you look down on me and the princess?"
Xiang Yiyi hurriedly saluted Manchu, respectfully said: "Don't dare."
The two vice generals followed suit, but the message from their eyes made it clear that they were still extremely skeptical in their hearts. Although the princess used the plan to go to the Dustwind Country to buy war horses, they admired them, and then the secret weapon of Zi Xiangguan was really shocking, but this time it was different. For the 300,000 army, they did not believe that there was no reinforcements and In the case of a secret weapon, how can a woman retreat from her enemy!
Manyu didn't care how they thought about it. In fact, she was not sure, just settling their hearts first. Regardless of the strength of an army, if even the general has the heart to lose, what chance is there to win? All she can do is do her best to keep it as long as she can.
"Wucheng is the last pass of my dynasty. No matter what the situation is, this pass must not be lost! Although this palace is not completely grasped, but the saying goes well, knowing ourselves and knowing each other are invincible, this palace ’s understanding of Emperor Qiyun is better than You need more. You can all sit down and talk about the situation. "Every time I talk about the emperor or think of him, she doesn't consciously feel hairy.
After a little hesitation, the three sat down. The two lieutenants couldn't help wondering, wasn't Qiyun Emperor most fond of his mother? A year ago, it was for the mother-in-law that she was against the kingdom of heaven! But why, this time, when the emperor went out to send troops to attack the Southern Dynasty? And the mother-in-law didn't seem to be sad at all. Could it be that the rumors were false? Confusing.
Xiang Wu said, "Hui Niangniang, about 100,000 people were attacked by this enemy ’s night attack on the siege. The leading enemy's surname is left, which is also strange. Every time, I quickly returned to change, and after a few turns, we used a lot of bows, arrows, and stones, but they were not injured. "
"According to this, their purpose is not to siege the city?" Man frowned, brother Huang, who knew that he would never do anything without confidence or purpose. She also asked, "General Xiang Xiang, what is the purpose of the enemy?"
Xiang Wu shook his head, "The minister has been pondering, but is puzzled. The spies we sent are also without news."
Manyu thought for a while and asked, "Apart from the four gates in this city, are there other entrances?"
Xiang Wu said: "No."
Wucheng is a city in the water. Unlike other cities, its walls are built in the moat. Both sides of the city wall are about one foot wide from the ground. It is not possible to climb the wall with a ladder other than the gate.
After listening to him, Manyu thought slightly, and got up and said, "Take me to see." The more impossible it was, the more uneasy she felt. If the purpose of Brother Huang's siege is to waste their bows and stones, she would not believe it anyway.
Nodded to Wu, "Mother please."
The five of them came to the moat beside the city wall. The city wall stood in the middle of the river. The clear blue water of the river was glowing with faint blue light, reflecting the torches burning on the city wall. The breeze blew and sparkling, swinging the orange-red flames. If there is no smoke and war, this is a nice quiet place.
Manxi sighed softly, suddenly frowned, turned his head and asked, "Why is this river so clear? Isn't it standing water?"
Xiang Wu was questioned for a while. He had only been here for a year, and he had never paid any attention to these. However, Vice Admiral Yao stayed here for a few years, and heard people say a few words. He bent over and arched his hand and said, "Hui Niangniang, at the end I will hear the older people in the city say that the river is three feet down, and there is a spring eye."
For a long time, "Where is the location of the spring eye?"
"This ... I don't know."
"Hurry up. Ask the location and size of the spring eye? Where are the outer connections? How many are there? Quickly go back." She said in a low tone, and after a slight whisper to Wu, she felt the seriousness of the matter and her face was dignified. , Vice Admiral Yao was busy leading away.
Xiang Wu said: "The mother-in-law suspects that the enemy will sneak into the city from underwater?"
"It's just a guess. It's always a good thing to guard more." As far as she knows, Qiyun has a sailor who has excellent water-repellency, so he has to guard.
Another deputy wondered: "But we don't even know about this spring eye, how could people in Qiyun Kingdom know?"
Man looked down and thought, this is also the question she was thinking. Qiyun State marches too fast. Even if it is not necessary to attack the city, the distance from Qiyun State Border Gate to Wucheng will take more than ten days. At this speed, there are only two possibilities. One is the cooperation of spies. If it's just a city, this may be true, but each city happens to have spies, and the spies are well aware of the situation, and I am afraid that most people will not be able to do so in a short time. Unless, the second possibility ...
While she was thinking, Vice Admiral Yao had already returned.
"Qi Niangniang, have already inquired about it. The old man in the city said that the underground river communicates with each other, and the spring is about a square foot away, and it connects the Banli River outside the city under the root of the west city wall."
Xiang Wu was surprised: "Banlihe? Isn't that the place where the enemy camps? Niangniang, Chen immediately dispatched troops to the West Wall to guard."
"Slow." She stopped immediately. "At this time, the troop transfer is easy to find out by the enemy. Don't worry, they don't have many people. Go and go to the west wall."
Behind a gray tablet with an inscribed carcass, five of them probed through the gap of the old tree branch, and watched the river moving not far below the city wall.
Not long after, the river was turbulent, a head stuck out of the water, touched the water on his face, looked around, and determined that there were no people around, and then swam ashore, and then three more people came out. After the four went ashore, they gathered to discuss a few words, and they listened intently, but they couldn't hear any sound. She frowned, seeing that they seemed to have negotiated, and planned to separate in four directions. Man-chan immediately raised his hand, holding four silver-blinking silver needles between her slender fingers. She raised her inner strength and raised her hand. The silver needle broke through and stabbed, but it was silent and speed was astonishing.
When the four people noticed that the back had changed greatly, they had passed out with a needle before they could react.
He walked out, and Shen Sheng commanded: "Bring it back and conduct detailed investigation."
"Yes."
Back at the barracks, Man and Xiao Ke rushed to dinner and waited for news in the Chamber.
Xiao Ke came together, worried, and whispered, "Sister Princess, they have 300,000 people. Can we ... really win?"
He took a sip of tea, turned to look at her, and smiled, "Are you scared?"
"No, the princess looked down on me." Xiao Ke pursed her pink lips, shook her arm unwillingly, then put on a thoughtful look, and leaned her head and asked: "Sister princess, this battle ... ... what if we lose? "
Manyu thought for a moment, looked into her eyes seriously, and said in a straight line: "Are you afraid of death?"
Xiao Ke froze and didn't answer immediately. A person popped out of her mind. The wicked man who always yelled at her and opposed her. If she died, no one would fight with him in the future. Will he miss her?
"Reluctant to be old nine?" Manyu was the one who could see her mind at a glance. But the child is still too simple, he never hides himself, maybe it is so, the old nine will like her.
"No, it's not." After being poked at the center, Xiao Ke became flushed with a face, denying hesitantly, "I won't be reluctant to him, I wish I would never see him again."
She patted her hands casually, looked at her crimson cheek with the girl's mind, shook her head and smiled: "Although the old nine looks a little unruly, but I believe he just has some things that have not been settled, as long as he decides Then, he will be very good to you in the future. In case, if I can't keep it here, I will ... "2k novel reading network
