Chapter 129 Chu Xingluo, you must come back alive! I'll wait for you!
Xia Taoyuan was reluctant to leave, but she had to go and see Chu Xingluo off, because that was her lover, her husband, who was about to go to the battlefield.
She rushed out of the room and went straight to the residence of the housekeeper Xu Zhong. Chu Xingluo must have told Xu Zhong, and Xu Zhong must know where Chu Xingluo started from.
Xu Zhong couldn't resist her nagging and finally agreed to take her to see Chu Xingluo.
Xu Zhong personally drove a horse-drawn carriage to take Xia Taoyuan to the military camp in the north of the city. It was already bright, and Xia Taoyuan was shocked to see the officers and soldiers present, who were so numerous that he could not see the end of them.
She anxiously looked for Chu Xingluo in the crowd. At this time, Qingyun, who was not far away, saw her and called her "Princess". Xia Taoyuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Chu Xingluo looking at her.
Xia Taoyuan wanted to rush through the crowd, but there were too many people. Seeing this, Chu Xingluo ran towards her.
Xia Taoyuan threw herself into Chu Xingluo's arms without caring about other people's eyes, and said, "Be careful and write to me!"
Chu Xingluo nodded in agreement one by one.
At this time, the warlord urged them to set off. Chu Xingluo reluctantly let go of Xia Taoyuan, wiped the tears from her face, and comforted her: "Don't worry, I will be back soon!"
After saying that, he made up his mind and left without looking back.
Xia Taoyuan shouted from behind: "Chu Xingluo, you must come back alive! I'll wait for you!"
After saying this, he was already crying.
When the main force was out of sight, Xu Zhong walked over and said, "Princess, let's go back to the palace!"
Xia Taoyuan wiped her tears and got on the carriage.
Prince Xiang's Mansion.
Ye Yiyi sat at the table, staring blankly at the bare branches outside the window. Did she hate Chu Xinghai? Hate! Hate that he had ignored her. Hate that he allowed the nurse, her daughter, and the maid to look down on her. Hate that he disappeared when she needed comfort and care the most. But all these hatreds were not as strong as her wish for Chu Xinghai to return safely.
She didn't want anything to happen to Chu Xinghai, she wanted him to come back safely. She wanted to torture him and get back double the grievances she had suffered from Chu Xinghai!
But as she thought about it, tears started to flow down her face. Why did she cry? Chu Xinghai had given her endless tenderness last night. Did she soften her heart?
Yes, she softened her heart. She just wanted Chu Xinghai to come back alive. As long as Chu Xinghai came back alive, she could let go of everything, as long as he was alive!
When Xia Taoyuan returned home, he lost his appetite and Dai'er was very anxious.
The little girl tried her best to make her laugh, but how could she laugh? She was daydreaming all day long.
Deer City.
Han Zhui received a letter via carrier pigeon, saying that General Lu Ting was on his way to Lucheng. The main force had also set out and would arrive soon.
Han Zhui finally let go of his worries. Now all he had to do was to defend well and prevent Lucheng from being lost.
The Xiling Kingdom’s palace was brightly lit with candles.
"Father, I will lead an army of 20,000 to attack Lion City tomorrow and we must capture it!" Ye Linglong, the beloved daughter of Ye Mengtian, Princess Wanshou, was confident.
"What about Lucheng and Hecheng?" Ye Mengtian looked up at the ministers. He was a little unhappy that the attack on Lucheng and Hecheng on the first day did not result in a winner.
They did not attack Lion City on the first day because Princess Wanshou had said long ago that Lion City would be left to her. Ye Mengtian did not stop them. After all, there were less than 10,000 people in Lion City, 5,000 to 6,000 civilians, and only 3,000 to 4,000 soldiers guarding the city. He was completely relieved that Ye Linglong would go.
Prime Minister Xie Daorun stepped forward and said sadly: "Your Majesty, I still hope that Your Majesty will think twice! Provoking a war without reason will only make the people of Xiling miserable and full of complaints. On the first day, more than 300 of our soldiers were killed in the battle, and even more were injured."
"The Prime Minister is too tired. Someone, send him back home to rest!" Ye Mengtian said coldly.
Xie Daorun shook his head helplessly and turned to leave the palace. He could not stop Ye Mengtian. He knew that if the war continued, Xiling Kingdom would be devastated and filled with misery.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead 50,000 troops to attack Lucheng!" Song Feilong, the Feilong General of Xiling Kingdom, said loudly.
"Your Majesty, Meng Xi is willing to send 50,000 soldiers to attack Hecheng!" The speaker was Meng Xi, who was known as a brave general of the Dongxia Kingdom.
"Okay! Make your deployment tomorrow, set off in the afternoon, and arrive at Shilong Village and Yufeng Village in the evening. I'm waiting for your good news!" Ye Mengtian said loudly.
In Hecheng, defending general Zhou Tong and deputy general Tian Kun also received the news that reinforcements were on the way, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Lion City has only a few thousand soldiers because its geographical location is not as important as Lu City and He City. Fortunately, it is to the east of Lu City, only thirty miles away from Lu City, so reinforcements will come quickly if something happens. He City is to the west of Lu City, forty miles away from Lu City. After discussing, Han Zhui and Zhou Tong both agreed to wait until General Lu Ting arrived before deciding on a plan to reinforce Lion City.
The next morning, everyone in Lucheng and Hecheng was on high alert, ready to fight at any time.
By noon, there was no sign of an attack from Xiling Kingdom, but instead Lu Ting and eighty elite soldiers arrived.
Han Zhui was overjoyed and immediately told him about the situations in Lucheng, Hecheng and Shicheng.
Then Lu Ting asked Han Zhui to take him to the tower for a tour. Lu Ting ordered Han Zhui to gather all the archers in the army and prepare enough bows and arrows. When Xiling Kingdom invaded, they should first shoot down their flags and then kill a wave of soldiers.
Lu Ting also instructed Han Zhui to order Li Ding, the deputy general, to lead 2,000 men and his 40 elite soldiers to rush to Lion City. Although Lion City was small, it must not be lost. He asked someone to lead 20 elite soldiers to Crane City, and the remaining 20 elite soldiers and him stayed in Lu City. He also gave some words to the elite soldiers.
Han Zhui had no objection to General Lu's arrangement. He had heard that the elite soldiers around General Lu Ting were all powerful figures who could go to heaven and earth. However, he was still worried about Lion City. There were too few soldiers, only more than 3,000 to 4,000. Even if Li Ding brought 2,000 people, there would only be more than 5,000 people. How could they resist the army of Xiling?
Lu Ting saw his worry and said, "General Han, don't worry. Lion City is a small city with a bad geographical location. I don't think Xiling Kingdom will send too many troops. We just need to defend it. Their main targets are Lu City and He City. Ye Mengtian is arrogant and ambitious. He wants to conquer Lu City and Lion City and go all the way north to swallow up Beiyue Kingdom step by step. Unfortunately, his wishful thinking was wrong!"
Li Ding arrived at Lion City soon with 2,000 soldiers and 40 elite soldiers, and made a series of deployments with Lion City garrison commander Tan Yuyuan. He also arranged archers to make adequate preparations.
In Lucheng, it was soon night, and a spy came to report that the Xiling army had arrived at Shilong Village and Yufeng Village, and it was roughly estimated that there were about 100,000 people.
Han Zhui frowned. The first time Xiling Kingdom invaded Lucheng, there were only 20,000 people coming. They were stationed in Shilong Village and did not leave. Now there are more than 100,000 people coming. It seems that a fierce battle will be inevitable tomorrow.
Shilong Village and Yufeng Village are located at the border of Beiyue, Xiling and Dongxia. They are not far from Lucheng, Hecheng and Shicheng, about ten to twenty miles away. Han Zhui guessed that Xiling would attack early tomorrow morning.
