Chapter 272 The original owner will soon die
The Great Zhou soldiers on the city wall were inspired by Chu Xi's victory. They raised their weapons and cheered.
Jiang Zhenyao laughed and patted the city wall. "This attack is a diversionary move. Qi Bai played it well. This is how we should deal with them."
Are we allowing Xi Chu to launch a surprise attack but not allowing them to report back?
They were all immersed in the joy of Chu Xi's victory over the enemy's commander, and completely ignored whether the people of Western Chu would be angry and humiliated by such a victory?
Obviously, the man who drew his bow and planned to launch a sneak attack on Chu Xi was one of those who was angry and humiliated.
The arrow is on the string, coming with great force and ready to be shot out at any moment.
Qi Jianshu stopped him.
"Qi... The general probably doesn't want to see you sneak attack from behind. This is a fair fight between the two of them. Any sneak attack using dishonest means cannot be considered a true victory."
The man who was stopped became more and more annoyed under Qi Jianshu's gaze, and said without thinking, "Why do you care what I do? You, a drowned dog, have the nerve to point fingers here!"
"With 50,000 soldiers against 10,000, you were able to fight like that and flee in disgrace. If I had been ashamed to face people long ago and committed suicide, how could I have the nerve to come here with such a thick face!"
These words are indeed what many people think, but because the general is also a member of the Qi family, they dare not say it easily.
After all, Qi Jianshu is a member of the Qi family. Even if he is just a side branch, it is not something they can easily interfere with.
Qi Jianshu lowered his eyes. These words touched a deep sore spot in his heart.
It took him nearly six days to capture the north gate with an army of 50,000 people, so it was no wonder that others looked down on him.
His slender fingers unconsciously clenched the reins, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged, which was enough to show how uneasy he was at the moment!
"Okay, the general will be unhappy if he hears this, so stop talking." The people nearby heard the commotion here and hurried over to separate the fight and dissuade them.
Qi Jianshu did not explain why he had a conflict with him. As for that man...he put down his bow and arrow and realized that he was too impulsive just now.
It is not a glorious thing to make this known to others.
Besides, the general was there too. If the arrow missed the target, it would injure the general...
Thinking of this, the man broke out in a cold sweat on his back. Facing other people's questions, he just brushed it off with a "nothing".
Chu Xi, who was not far away, didn't know that she had escaped a disaster. She flew off her horse and landed on the ground.
"Concession."
Chu Xi's sword was too sharp. Even if she didn't use much force, the blade would leave some marks when it hit the skin of the neck.
A very shallow mark was left on Qi Minsong's neck, with bright red blood slightly oozing out, but it quickly coagulated.
A thin line of blood, very light, but somewhat conspicuous because of the color.
"Prince, you are still so amazing." Qi Minsong rubbed the painful red line with his fingertips and praised meaningfully.
"I'll take General Qi's words as a compliment to me. Thank you very much." Chu Xi smiled slowly.
"..."
Qi Minsong then chuckled and sighed, "If you and I were not enemies and our positions were not opposing, then we..."
Maybe we can become friends.
Before he finished speaking, Chu Xi could already guess what he meant. He did not answer, but just used the force to fly up to the city wall.
Except for the deputy general who almost did something wrong just now, no one else would act rashly without Qi Minsong's order.
Since it was agreed to be a fair fight, Qi Minsong had never thought of ambush or sneak attack on Chu Jiang from the beginning.
In his opinion, Chu Jiang is an opponent worthy of admiration and respect.
Everyone returned to their respective camps, and the war continued.
The battle, which had just stopped temporarily due to the fight between the two, continued again as the two decided the winner.
The Western Chu army led by Qi Minsong was much more difficult to deal with than the rebels, and they used a variety of methods to attack the city.
The bows and arrows at the South Gate had long been used up due to their tireless siege.
The North Gate took almost five days to build, while the South Gate was completed in just one day.
This shows how strong the attack on the South Gate was.
Another two hours passed, Chu Xi and the others were already killing to the point of being jealous, and they didn't know why they felt so numb today.
Chu Er had already brought people to support him. It was the first time that Yuan Qi fought together with the rising military general Prince Chu in the capital, and he couldn't help but pay more attention to him.
After paying this attention, he found that the prince's reputation outside was not false at all.
He can be said to be a well-deserved leader among the younger generation.
After a day of fighting, Chu Xi's newly-worn sky-blue brocade robe was once again soaked in blood.
The original color could no longer be recognized, and the face and neck were covered in bright red blood.
"When will the reinforcements arrive?" Chu Xi asked.
"News came from the capital that His Majesty has ordered Tang Yuhuai and the eldest prince to lead a 100,000-man army to come to our aid. They will set out today and should arrive by tomorrow evening at the latest."
Han Yaojun arrived at the South Gate to provide support in the afternoon.
Until reinforcements arrive, he will fight as long as he is not completely defeated.
"Tang Yuhuai?" Chu Xi was surprised.
But it’s not entirely surprising, because in the original novel, it was Tang Yuhuai who led the troops to solve the problem.
It’s just that the timeline was supposed to be four years later, but now it’s all moved forward.
"System, the presence of the eldest prince in the reinforcements this time, does that deviate from the plot?" Chu Xi asked the system in his heart, which he had not contacted for a long time.
The system was silent for a moment, and then replied, "Not really. The main system's requirement for plot deviation is that the main characters must be present."
Chu Xi raised an eyebrow, implying that adding other people was not a deviation.
Fortunately, if it were too harsh, she wouldn't be able to influence the matter.
In this feudal era, even though the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was already considered the center of power, the one who could truly mobilize troops and generals was ultimately the one on the throne.
"That's fine."
"According to the original storyline, the border war is over, that is..."
Chu Xi curled her lips. She knew what the system wanted to remind her, so she replied calmly, "I know."
The original owner's life span will not be long.
"Don't you want to stay?"
"The reason I did the mission in the first place was to go back."
System, "...I thought you would be confused for a moment."
At least not such a decisive answer.
Chu Xi clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand, "Although there are some special memories here, I will not forget the purpose of coming to this world."
No matter how many special memories there are here, for her, this is not the era in which she grew up.
The reason why I have not suffered too much injustice and restriction is because this body is now a "man"!
Once her identity is exposed, no matter how many military achievements she has made, she cannot escape the secular demands on women.
Trapped in the backyard, married to someone else.
This is not the life she wants.
"Besides, going back means that this can end sooner rather than later. What's wrong with that?"
Wherever Chu Xi looked, there was war.
People were fighting each other constantly, corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed like a river.
"The war can end, and the people will at least not be displaced and can live a peaceful life!"
System, "..." OK, it is narrow-minded.
