Chapter 311 Returning Happy
General Mo received the military order from the Third Prince and could only carry it out. The North Vietnamese soldiers suffered nearly 10,000 casualties and achieved nothing.
The North Vietnamese soldiers gritted their teeth and cursed again: "Seven heads, rotten blood..."
Supervisor He on the city wall was also very anxious. Tens of thousands of people from North Vietnam were struggling to survive. If another large army came to press them...
Thinking of this, He Jianjun couldn't help but shudder. Some soldiers from North Vietnam were already close to the city wall.
Supervisor He shouted: "Quick, quick, the archers will quickly replenish and let our supervisors shoot fiercely. These North Vietnamese Tatars are too abominable."
Just when both sides were exhausted, a louder Dongchen horn sounded, and the King of Zhenbei led one hundred thousand elite troops.
Trumpets were blown far behind the North Vietnamese Army, and King Zhenbei sent a force of 1,000 men to the bottom of the city wall.
In the past, King Zhenbei would have rushed to outflank him. Now, he knew that Supervisor He would do evil tricks on his soldiers.
They were waiting far away, and sure enough, the rain of arrows on the city wall did not stop, and they would not stop just because they were the Zhenbei Army.
King Zhenbei sneered in his heart, "You still want to occupy Youzhou City because your surname is He, bah!"
I will take care of the Tatars first, and then I will take care of you later. The King of Zhenbei was in a happy mood while he waited for the North Vietnamese troops to flee in all directions.
The third prince of North Vietnam was brave and resourceful, and knew that there was a large army of Zhenbei King in the rear blocking their retreat.
He ordered, "All troops should retreat, 2,000 on the left, 2,000 on the right, and the rest should retreat directly to the rear."
Directly behind them, the horns were the loudest, but with only the two thousand men led by Xuanyuan Chen ambushing them, it would take time to outflank them from both sides.
The King of Zhenbei thought that the North Vietnamese army would definitely flee to both sides. In this way, of the tens of thousands of North Vietnamese troops, only a few thousand people escaped from Tiansheng.
The King of Zhenbei was so angry that he kept cursing and cursing. He did not capture the Third Prince and General Mo alive, and he did not even kill any of the dozens of North Vietnamese generals.
The fighting didn't end until noon, and the remaining corpses everywhere would be buried in snow. Leng Yue tried to shout.
"People in the city listen carefully. All the North Vietnamese Tatars have been killed in the battle. Open the city gate and let us enter the city."
He was answered by the whistling north wind and the blowing snow. He Jianjun had already descended the city wall. After a long time, he sent his confidants to reply.
"King Zhenbei listens to the order. Now that the North Vietnamese Army has been repulsed, you will lead the army back to the military camp."
The king of Zhenbei was so angry that he fell to his knees. Did they return to the military camp and starve to death? The ground was covered with snow, there was no grass, and there was no grain.
He Jianjun's wolfish ambitions have been fully exposed. The heavy snow will not stop for at least a month, so their Zhenbei Army will have no choice but to starve to death.
"Okay, very good, let's see who will starve to death first. It's better not to come to us to ask for help next time," Leng Yue cursed bitterly.
The Zhenbei Army suffered few casualties this time, only a few hundred people died. Xuanyuan Chen was injured. He faced General Mo directly and did not die. Xuanyuan Chen should not have been killed.
Zhou Daniu followed Xuanyuan Chen and saved his life, so Zhou Daniu was seriously injured and fell into coma.
He had originally signed up to stay in Lanni Town and work as a brick farmer with Chu Lixuan, but it was his fellow villager who forced him to go to the battlefield.
Those who signed up only knew to keep one thousand, but did not know that all twenty thousand had been accepted, so this time more than a hundred households participated in the war.
Xuanyuan Chen had a snow rake, which was given to him by Chu Lixiang. He sat next to Zhou Daniu, who was unconscious and could only lie down.
"Quick, let's go back first. I heard Brother Xiang say that they have two miracle doctors from the Heavenly Medicine Valley."
Xuanyuan Chen didn't know whether to tell himself or the general pulling the snow plow. He wanted Zhou Daniu not to die.
After all, he has learned the art of making bricks, and he will live a good life with Master Chu in the future.
The Zhenbei Army kept walking in the direction of the border military camp. When they were far away, they turned around and headed towards Lanni Town.
He Jianjun's men would not open the city gate to look. At most, they would just watch on the city wall until they could no longer see him.
He Jianjun really didn't know which direction the Zhenbei Army was going.
"Your Majesty, are we just going to live in Mud Town?"
"After the Lantern Festival, we will return to the military camp. The third prince of North Vietnam has escaped this time and will definitely prepare for a counterattack."
King Zhenbei said in a good mood that he was still thinking of going back and asking Chu Lixuan to come into the city to help him kill the man named He.
In the heart of King Zhenbei, Chu Lixuan was a "profit-seeking person". As long as his demands could be met, killing a man named He shouldn't be a problem.
It has to be said that King Zhenbei still knows Chu Lixuan somewhat.
They brought dry food, white flour and fried scallion pancakes, mixed with snow and water, and ate full meals.
There is no need to rush back on the way back, but the soldiers miss going back to have hot meals and dishes!
Therefore, the return journey was not slow. Everyone felt like they were returning home. Even the King of Zhenbei felt like he was returning home happily.
He didn't think that he was missing those three careless women. He knew for sure that he wanted to eat hot rice and hot dishes.
No matter how hard they rushed, it would still take them two days and two nights to get back, even if they had to deal with the enemy during the round trip.
The women who were worried about being talked about by King Zhenbei really stopped quarreling because they were ordered to be grounded.
Concubine Li was arrogant, but she did not dare to step out of the room. The maid could come in and out. She called the maid to find her son Xuanyuan Chen.
Xuanyuan Chen is still injured and sitting on the snow rake. Can they find him?
Concubine Li was so angry that she threw the washbasin in the room. Because there were not many things for her to hit, she only broke one washbasin and stopped.
She sent someone to look for her daughter again, while Xuanyuan Shuang, Chu Ye and the others were rehearsing the show. They were too happy to miss Shu and forgot about her mother.
No one was found either, so Concubine Li was so angry that she broke the bathtub again. As a result, she no longer had a washbasin or bathtub.
Who can I turn to for supplies? No one can make up for it. Unlike before, when Concubine Li broke something, the housekeeper immediately made up for it.
The housekeeper said to Aunt Li in embarrassment: "You also know that this is not our mansion, and the food we eat comes from the Marquis of Zhennan."
"Then you go to Zhennanhou's housekeeper and ask for it! How can you wash yourself if you don't have a washbasin?" Nanny Li said arrogantly.
"Mama Li is so powerful, you'd better go on your own! I'm still rushing to make bricks now!" the housekeeper said, suppressing his anger.
"At this time, what else are you doing? In the eyes of our slaves, the empress is the most important." Aunt Li accused angrily.
"Haha! You don't know! If our prince doesn't work, we won't have anything to eat. The prince has taken people to the Daling Mountains to hunt wild beasts. Who do you think I am as a butler? Why don't you drink from the northwest wind if you don't work?"
The housekeeper was also very angry. He used to give orders to this person and that person every day, but since he came here, he has been greeting Niba every day.
This news was the exact words King Zhenbei said to the remaining soldiers before the march. The general idea was, work hard and don't be lazy and slippery.
I also have to work to have food, so now I will take people to hunt wild animals to give you extra food.
If the prince is not here, will the empress still need to be grounded? Aunt Li did not ask the housekeeper for a washbasin and ran away.
