Chapter 1189: Come and see in person
"Your Majesty! Even if you don't want to leave the city at this time, you should be in the mansion! If the Xiliang army attacks the city, the mansion will be safer than on the city wall!" Wei Zhong chased behind Bai Qingyan to persuade him.
"If Jiangzi City is captured, how can this small mansion resist the Xiliang Army?" Bai Qingyan's steps were not stopped. Yu Guang saw Chunzhi with a nervous expression following her, and turned to say to Chunzhi, "Chunzhi doesn't have to follow!"
Whether it was to capture her, the Emperor of Great Zhou alive, or to set up an ambush and wipe out the Great Zhou army that came to rescue him, Old General Cui would not choose to attack the city at this time.
First of all, General Cui should not have time to find out the number of Great Zhou soldiers in Jiangzi City and cannot attack the city rashly.
Secondly, if we set up an ambush for the Great Zhou army, we should siege and not attack.
Chunzhi paused for a moment when she heard Bai Qingyan's words, and then hurriedly followed, saying to Bai Qingyan: "I know that I am useless and I don't know martial arts, but... I want to follow the eldest girl, and I can sacrifice my life for the eldest girl if necessary!"
Chunzhi was trembling when she said this, and suddenly she was besieged by a large army. How could she, a slave who had been living in the prosperous imperial capital, not be afraid?
But her master wants to climb the city wall, how could she hide behind her as a slave? She knows that she is useless. She is not very comfortable to take care of the eldest girl like Sister Chuntao, nor is she as skilled as Miss Qingzhu, who can protect Bai Qingyan on the battlefield. Sometimes she even has to be a drag on the eldest girl.
However, now that the enemy is besieging the city, she wants to follow her master. Even if she sacrifices her life to block an arrow for her master, it can be regarded as her duty as a loyal servant!
Outside the government office, soldiers holding torches were everywhere, hurried towards the city wall in sequence, and the people who had just entered the city were also busy raising their children to run home, and the streets were in chaos.
Bai Qingyan stepped out of the gate of the mansion and turned his head to look at Chunzhi who was crying. It seemed as if he had seen a younger Chuntao. She jumped onto the horse and said to Chunzhi: "Waiting in the mansion!"
After saying that, Bai Qingyan rushed out with a horse's belly, and Wei Zhong hurriedly followed...
Chunzhi hurriedly chased the horses, but there were people running around everywhere, and the soldiers who shouted to let the people go home. Chunzhi had already lost her before she could chase after her out of the long street and was knocked to the ground. Her eyes could only be red, and her hands were folded with tears and folded together, begging God to bless Bai Qingyan's safety.
Bai Qingyan took the lead in coming to the Xicheng Gate, and as Bai Qingyan expected, there were many Western Liang troops in the Ximen.
Judging from Bai Qingyan's years of march experience, the Xiliang Army was planning to surround but not attack, and she felt relieved.
Soon, the horn at the gate of Nancheng City was also sounded. When the general guarding the city sent someone to inform Bai Qingyan, Bai Qingyan had been observing the distance on the west wall for a long time.
Hearing that the Xiliang army had surrounded the southern city gate, Bai Qingyan turned to ask the message sent by the message: "Have the Bai family guards left the city?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, I'm leaving the city!" said the sentencing soldier.
Not long after the commander's words fell, a fast horse rushed out of the enemy camp that was besieged in the city and rushed towards the city gate.
The general of Ximen Shoucheng clenched his sword on his waist and shouted loudly: "Arrowers are ready, the enemy dares to cross the line, don't be polite to shoot me into a hornet's nest!"
Bai Qingyan looked at the increasingly tight horse with a cold look, and took the big bow from the hands of the soldiers beside him, drew the arrow, calmly put the bow, and put it...
The feather arrow roared and instantly penetrated under the galloping horse's hooves. The horse was frightened and neighed, throwing the Xiliang cavalry on its back.
The Xiliang cavalry was frightened and sweated coldly. Seeing that the distance was almost the same, they shouted loudly: "Lieutenant General Cui Shan of Xiliang, please see the Emperor of Great Zhou!"
Bai Qingyan threw the bow in his hand to the soldiers beside him, with a straight figure and looked down at the Xiliang cavalry not far from the city wall: "The veteran General Cui Shanzhong hung up the handsome flag in Yunjing, Xiliang, why did he appear in Jiangzi City again? If the veteran General Cui Shanzhong is really here, then please come and see him in person!"
After saying that, Bai Qingyan turned around and walked under the city wall, instructing the general guarding the city: "Let the soldiers not relax their guard!"
"yes!"
Bai Qingyan said while lowering the city wall: "I will order all the generals in the city to come to the west gate immediately! In addition, tell the people who have just settled in Jiangzi City and go back immediately. If there is still people who stay outside after a stick of incense at special moments, they will be treated with a detailed look and will not be punished!"
"Yes!" The messenger who followed Bai Qingyan immediately got on his horse and went to pass the command.
As soon as Bai Qingyan walked down from the city wall, Liu Pinggao, the general sent by the Great Zhou Dynasty to defend the city, was coming soon.
Liu Pinggao was once a young general in Anping Camp. Later, he made military achievements several times and was promoted to guard the capital. This time he asked to come to the front line to go to the battlefield, but he was arranged to defend the city here as soon as he came. When Bai Qingyan entered the city today, he asked Bai Qingyan to ask Bai Qingyan to send him to the front line. Unexpectedly, Jiangzi City was surrounded that night.
"Your Majesty!" Liu Pinggao saluted and walked to Bai Qingyan, speaking very quickly, "I don't know how many troops the Xiliang has come to besieged in the city, but our city only has more than 5,000 troops. I just went to check the grain warehouse. Fortunately, your Majesty asked the disaster relief grain sent to Yecheng Pass to be temporarily stored in Jiangzi City, so the grain and grass in the end will be roughly counted for the soldiers to spend two months, but... if the people of Xiliang brought into Jiangzi City, it will probably not last long!"
After all, Liu Pinggao fought abroad all year round and had rich experience. When he learned that he was besieging the city from all sides, he immediately went to count the food and grass. After ordering people to take strict supervision, he immediately came to report to Bai Qingyan.
"There are not many people in Jiangzi City. Later, the number of refugees from Xiliang brought by Your Majesty and the number of refugees from Xiliang who rushed to Jiangzi City after hearing the news was large!" Liu Pinggao was worried, "I am worried that since the people of Xiliang were prepared, they just waited for His Majesty to siege the city after he entered the city. It is very likely that there will be their people among the refugees! We have to be careful!"
Liu Pinggao's worries were Bai Qingyan's worries, so Bai Qingyan ordered the people to return to their respective homes with a stick of incense, otherwise they would be killed without any reservation.
