It's the sound of horse hooves!

Those people opened the city gate, obviously to meet the people outside. Now, the city gate is in chaos, and outside the city, an army is about to rush in!

However, at this time, I calmed down. I was already holding the armrest of the chair and wanted to stand up. At this time, I slowly sat back, with the sound of war drums and horses ringing in my ears. Even under the dark night sky, I could see a large area of ​​smoke and dust rising up.

Suddenly, the city suddenly became noisy.

If the previous fights only alarmed the people nearby here, then the door opened and the raid sounded, Linfen City was already awakened, and the sound of gongs on the city tower were heard, and in the houses below, I also watched the windows lit up one after another.

Pei Yuanhao was still sitting there quietly, but the light in his eyes was like a needle tip.

The soldiers fighting with the dark shadows at the city gate had already fully understood at this time. They fought hard. After all, there were too many people, and they quickly retreated several people and were about to rush over and close the city gate. However, the heavy gate was in a hurry and could not close it immediately. The team outside seemed to be getting closer and closer to the city gate, and even the leading horses were about to rush into the city gate that had already begun to close slowly.

Just then, I suddenly heard another earth-shaking sound.

If they were just shaking the ground just now, when they rushed over, the ground was almost shaking, and I even watched the water in the cup on the table rippling.

This is--

A light suddenly flashed in my mind, but before I could think about it carefully, I heard outside the city, as if it was on both sides of the city gate, and the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded, and the sound of several people roaring.

"Kill me!"

I immediately understood.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang and the others--"

Pei Yuanhao turned his head and looked at me. At this time, he seemed to be more relaxed than when he saw the city gate attack. He didn't even look down, but sat back into the chair, picked up the slightly swelling cup with one hand and took a sip, and then said, "That's right."

Just as he finished speaking, I heard a loud noise, as if thousands of troops and horses were rushing together with thousands of thunder, hitting each other's sounds. The war horses were neighing and the voices were roaring. A team directly knocked open the city gate with rolling smoke and dust and rushed in. They immediately wrapped the rolls of rolls of fighting at the city gate into the team, and disappeared in an instant.

They came in!

But only a small part of the rushing in, because I clearly saw outside the city gate that the two teams gathered from the north and south outside, and cut off the raid team into two sections. The road ahead had already rushed into Linfen City, and the people behind him were directly killed with Zhang Ziyu and his army.

The people who rushed in were not easy. Just as they rushed into the city gate, countless soldiers suddenly rushed out of the streets and alleys, wielding their sharp swords at them, like a stronger wave, wrapping the team of people in.

For a moment, there was a sound of killing outside the city gate and inside the city gate.

I slowly reached out to hold the water cup on the table. The earth-shaking sound just now made a lot of water overflow from the cup. When my hand held the cup tightly, I finally suppressed the tremor.

Then I held it to my mouth and took a sip.

Pei Yuanhao, who was sitting opposite me, took a sip with a leisurely expression almost.

It can be seen that everything about tonight is in his or their control. Zhang Ziyu's "night attack" will win sooner or later.

The military newspaper he sent to Pei Yuanhao before and his plan were to attack the enemy at night. Just now, I thought Zhang Ziyu's team was going to attack the enemy camp at night, but it turned out that what they were going to attack at night was not the enemy camp, but the enemy who came to attack our enemy at night.

What a good plan!

Actually, I think Zhang Ziyu is indeed a good soldier. Because he had just fought a war during the day, it was the instinct of a soldier who wanted to rest. However, when the other party was tired and went to attack at night, he could indeed think of it with just a little thought. However, his brain became deeper.

When he knew that there were lurking people in the city, he could predict the time when a night attack would take place at this city gate tonight, so as to secretly hide the people and block the other party. This is indeed a very wonderful strategy!

I didn't look down any further, because, no matter whether it was victory or failure, I didn't like to see the tragic situation of swords and flesh flying, and I didn't want to see the tragic situation of people fighting for survival. But even if I didn't look at anything, I understood that the victory and defeat were already written at the beginning.

After drinking the tea in the cup, someone came to us soon.

I drank warm tea cup by cup, listened to the screams and roars below, listened to the sharp sounds made when swords and swords were attacked, and listened to the sound of the city gate being hit again and again, sweat came out from my forehead one by one and dripped down.

At this time, a handkerchief appeared in front of you.

I looked up and saw that Pei Yuanhao took out his handkerchief and handed it to me. The faint light shone on his face through the bamboo curtain. Although he couldn't see his expression clearly, he could see his gaze with a little gentleness and said softly: "I shouldn't let you come and see such a thing."

I was silent for a while before I shook my head gently, and did not take his handkerchief, but pinched my sleeves with my backhand and wiped my forehead.

He said, "You hold on for a while, it won't be too long."

"Um."

Although he said it would not be too long, I know that even if it was not a head-on battle, it would not be "not too long".

Almost as the east was gradually turning white, the sound below slowly subsided.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! There are too many sleepless nights in the past, but not many nights are as long as tonight. I held the already cold teacup, and felt my hands and feet were cold, and I turned my already stiff neck and looked down slowly.

It can no longer be described as a mess.

The wide streets, the stone roads were almost dyed red by blood; and the already mottled city walls were covered with countless scratches; countless missing mouths, and even curved swords were discarded in the corners, but what I couldn't bear to look at was the broken corpses lying everywhere on the streets. This was not the first time I saw them. I was too familiar with the cruelty of corpses everywhere after the war, which made life naked without dignity, but I still couldn't look directly. Just one glance, and my face immediately turned pale.

Pei Yuanhao said: "Stop watching."

Although I said so, my eyes could not be taken away. I saw some soldiers standing still tenaciously slowly walking on the blood-red street to check whether there were still people who survived. Some people slowly helped their companions who were seriously injured and kept moaning, and the enemy was raised and tied to the other side by side.

At the foot of the city wall, there were many soldiers guarding the city, dragging their wounded bodies and sitting there waiting for treatment.

A miserable victory is like a defeat. These four words are actually the ultimate truth in any war.

Victory is always accompanied by blood and tears, not without dignity.

Seeing my eyes turn red, Pei Yuanhao's tone became heavier, with a little reprimanding: "Let you stop looking!"

I turned my head and looked at me, but finally I was obedient and didn't look down any further. I just asked, "I don't know what the situation is outside the city."

The sounds outside the city disappeared earlier than inside the city.

Pei Yuanhao said: "They will take advantage of the victory and pursue it. During this period, they must eliminate the opponent's strength as soon as possible. Don't worry, they will come back soon."

I nodded gently.

Zhang Ziyu's plan is very good, and his ideas are not wrong.

At present, the army in Xuchang has only arrived in advance, and the battle has become like this. If they do not destroy as much as possible, when the other two teams come, Linfen will be under great pressure. If they cannot wait for the reinforcements invited by Xiao Yusheng and the others, it will be really troublesome.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came from the entrance of the stairs. When I turned around, I saw the servant here walking over there with a buckle.

Pei Yuanhao also frowned slightly. Kua'er was so scared that he didn't dare to come over. I hurriedly said, "What's wrong? Why are you here?"

Kou'er hurried over to pay his respects, and then said, "The Princess is coming down."

"What?"

Pei Yuanhao's brows frowned even more. He turned his head and looked at the stairs. He didn't see anyone else coming up. Kuo'er said softly: "After the princess woke up in the morning, he heard that the emperor and Miss Yan had left, so he must have been making a fuss to come here. I can't dissuade me, so I can only--"

"Nothing!"

Pei Yuanhao scolded him, and Kouer was so scared that he knelt down with a plop.

I also frowned slightly, thinking that they were a little nonsense, but then I thought, Miaoyan was a princess after all, Pei Yuanhao and I were gone, and Chang Qing was thinking about her behind closed doors, and they didn't dare to disturb her. Who could control Miaoyan? Maybe it was difficult to do it in the middle.

So I sighed and said, "Come on, come. Where is her?"

Kou'er knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "I dare not let His Highness come up, she is still in the carriage."

I turned around and looked at Pei Yuanhao.

He was still angry, but after all, the war outside was over, so it was not a big deal when Miaoyan came. So he pointed to Kouer who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Next time you dare to act so self-righteously, I won't spare you that easily!"

Kou'er was so scared that he kowtowed repeatedly: "I know my sins, and I know my sins. Thank you for your grace."

Pei Yuanhao then said, "Let her come up."

I thought about it and said, "Don't let her come up."

He turned to look at me, with a little puzzled look in his eyes. I looked back and saw that the battlefield was not completely cleaned up. The soldiers lying in the corner were still moaning and waiting for the doctor to come for treatment and rescue. However, there were too many casualties and the doctors were not enough staff, so I could only wait. The pain of those people, even if they were so far away, could see clearly.

I whispered, "I'll take Miaoyan over and help."

Pei Yuanhao immediately frowned: "What?"

I know that he still cherishes his daughter. After all, he is the dignified princess. How could he let her do that? I whispered: "It's different from the past. After all, I don't know how many fierce battles there will be in Linfen City next. We can't let these soldiers be hurt like this."

“…”

He didn't speak, his eyes still seemed very resistant.

I said again: "Your Majesty, when I was in Yangzhou, didn't I help those refugees too?"

Hearing this, his eyes flashed slightly, and his original firmness became even more shaken.

After a while, he finally sighed and said, "You want to take her there, just go."

After saying that, he lowered his head and said to Kouer: "You, please send a message back and let the people in the official office come and help if they are free to take action."

When Kou'er heard this, he hurriedly said, "Yes!"

I said, "I'll bring Miaoyan up first."

He nodded, and Kua'er helped me downstairs. The morning light outside had already illuminated the dark and narrow alley last night. On the carriage parked at the back door, Miaoyan lifted up a little curtain and looked out carefully. When he saw me coming out, he hurriedly got off the carriage: "Mom!"

I caught her and rubbed her hair: "Why are you so stupid? Your father is angry!"

"ah?"

She was shocked and shrank her neck.

I clicked her nose: "I'm afraid that your father will be angry, why dare you do this? Kou'er was almost hurt by you!"

After hearing this, she turned to look at Kua'er, whose face was not calm yet. It seemed that she had come back to her senses at this time and said softly: "Sister Kua'er, I've implicated you."

Kua'er waved his hand quickly: "Your Highness, don't say that."

I said, "In the future, if you think about it clearly, you will do it. You are a princess, no one is better than others. The higher the status of a person, the more you should think about others, do you understand?"

She nodded quickly.

I asked Guer to go back in the carriage first, and I took Miaoyan up to pay my respects to Pei Yuanhao. Pei Yuanhao didn't say anything, but just gave a few instructions. Then I took her down the small building and slowly walked to the city wall. Several guards were still following us.

As soon as I approached the city wall, I was immediately shocked by the situation in front of me.

Just now, I had witnessed the whole process on it and saw the painful appearance of those seriously injured people, but looking high above was the same thing. I really walked in the middle of them, looking at their bloody wounds, their broken arms and legs, and their painful moans. The impact was much stronger than the observation of being out of the matter.

Miaoyan's face also turned pale.

This was not the first time she witnessed the tragic situation after the war. When Nian Baoyuze was in the past, the frontal battlefield was even more impacted than this, but war was war, and bleeding was bleeding. The wound would not be painful because it had been injured.
