First Lady of the Crown Prince

  Chapter 494 Soldiers approach the city (one more)

  In the next few days, the sky was full of snow, and they were all trapped in the cave. Gu Jiao practiced bow and arrow archery in the cave when he was free.

   After Tang Yueshan gave Gu Jiao's advice last night, she woke up regretting it. This girl is the enemy of the Tang family, and no one should teach her.

  It's also a coincidence. Gu Chengfeng can shoot arrows. When he saw Gu Jiao drawing a bow in the cave, he walked over and pointed her.

  He had no reservations about Gu Jiao, but he didn't mean anything he could. He also made a simple target with a shield and dry firewood and hung it on the rock wall for Gu Jiao to shoot.

Gu Chengfeng's archery skills are not bad. After all, he is the son of the Hou Mansion. Even the weakest Gu Chenglin can ride and shoot since childhood. However, Gu Chengfeng's level is only a high level among ordinary people, and he is a stop for the archers of the Tang family. , Then it's a bit under-sighted.

  It's not Tang Yueshan blowing, just picking up a soldier from the Tang family's bow and arrow hands can compare Gu Chengfeng's archery skills with nothing left.

  The worst archers of the Tang family are all required to be able to penetrate Yang in a hundred steps.

  Tang Yueshan really couldn't see the few moments that Gu Chengfeng pointed out Gu Jiao.

   "You are right to listen to me!" Gu Chengfeng said to Gu Jiao.

  Tang Yueshan rolled his eyes in disgust, and he was not wrong. It was clear that everything was wrong! Can the bow be pulled like that? Can the arrow aim like that?

  This is more unbearable than Gu Jiao pulling the wrong bow.

   Then Tang Yueshan made a donkey again.

  Tangyue Mountain is making donkeys every day.

   Keep the donkey until the snow stops.

  Lao Hou's postoperative infection disappeared. He is a little older, but because of martial arts training for many years, his physique is not inferior to that of the young guy, and the wound healed well, not to mention Tang Yueshan's.

  Gu Jiao removed the stitches on the two wounds on Tang Yueshan's thigh.

  A few people walked through the forest together and came to a small village on the edge of Lingguan City. Gu Jiao asked the villagers to buy an ox cart and replaced the ox with two horses of her own. The other horse was given to Tang Yueshan.

  Tang Yueshan turned on his horse, and said to the two men: "You follow this road and go straight ahead, and you will reach the ancient city of Yue."

  Gu Chengfeng took the horse, hesitated, looked at Tang Yueshan and said, "You...really want to go to Yecheng all alone? Why--"

  He wanted to say, why don’t you follow us back to the ancient city of Yue, and when my grandfather is settled, I will go to Yecheng with you.

Gu Chengfeng didn't have much interest in helping Tang Yueshan, but the imperial army was trapped in Yecheng after all. He wasn't the young boy who came to the border fortress in the first place. The border wars, the mountains, rivers and the country are broken. As a son of the Zhao Kingdom, he has already Can't stay out of it.

Gu Chengfeng didn’t say these words, but Tang Yueshan understood what he was going to say. Tang Yueshan said, “If there are few people, I can solve it by myself. If there are few people, I can’t solve it, and the two of you won’t help. Follow along to die."

  The fighting power of one person and three people is different in the arena, but there is almost no difference in the face of tens of thousands of troops on the battlefield.

  Gu Chengfeng felt that his words were reasonable, and he couldn't refute it.

  Several people parted ways.

  Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng took Lao Hou Ye back to the ancient city of Yue, Tangyue Mountain quickly went to Yecheng.

   "You said, what on earth would he do?" Gu Chengfeng asked worriedly.

  In fact, Gu Jiao also wanted to know what Tang Yueshan thought about. Tang Yueshan is not like the kind of impulse to die. He must have a plan in his heart.

  Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng returned to the ancient city of Yue.

The situation in the ancient city of   is more tense than before they left. Almost all the shops on the street are closed, and the pedestrians on the road are gone, and it is full of an imposing momentum.

   "That's how it is about to fight, right?" Gu Chengfeng said in a mixed mood.

  Gu Jiao hummed indifferently.

  The battle of three cities started first. The people of Yuegu City were almost fully prepared. However, this did not change the fact that it eventually became a purgatory on earth. It was the most miserable one among the frontier fortresses.

  Chen's army slaughtered the city here.

  Men, women, children, women and children are weak, and even livestock are not spared.

  The carriage arrived at the Prefect.

  It was still Master Hu who came out to greet them.

After a few days, Master Hu was more emaciated than before. He hurried out with his official hat and said in excitement and surprise: "Oh, the two adults are back! The two adults left without saying goodbye that night, frightened the little one. That's it! The little one thought something had happened to the two adults..."

   Gu Chengfeng frowned impatiently: "Okay, don't say it, hurry into the mansion."

  The wind was strong outside, they blew all the way, almost freezing to death!

  "Yes, yes!" Master Hu hurriedly responded. He led the way, and glanced casually, and found a person lying on the pallet that was temporarily set up.

When Master Lao Hou came to the frontier fortress, he had settled down with Tang Yueshan in the Prefect's Mansion. Master Hu had received both of them. Master Hu quickly recognized Master Lao Hou, and he couldn't help being surprised: "Master Gu! You... …You went to Yecheng to save people?"

  Everyone thought that Lord Hou was imprisoned in Yecheng.

Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng disappeared after staying for one night. Master Hu and Master Taishou once doubted their identities, guessing that they might not have been sent by the court, but just two imposters. They came to the Taishou Mansion to inquire about the news. of.

  Now seeing them bring Master Lao Hou back, it has overturned the previous doubts.

  Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng did not say that they rescued people in Lingguan City.

  However, from the reaction of Master Hu, it can be seen that at least the prefectural government has no collusion with the army of Chen Guo and the remnants of the former dynasty for the time being.

  The current Taishou Mansion is fairly safe.

  "Enter the mansion." Gu Chengfeng said solemnly to Master Hu.

   "Ah, yes yes! Now enter the mansion! The yard from the last time is reserved for the two!" Master Hu squeezed the cold sweat and led the person into the prefectural mansion.

  It’s impossible to keep the yard back for them. Master Hu kept rushing down to wink, but he was also clever. He hurried in front of the two and drove the people out of the yard.

   "No one has been living for a few days, the house has fallen out of dust. I will clean up first, and some of them will go to the study to sit." Master Hu said with a smile.

  Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng didn't tell the truth, they took out the stretcher first, and let the servants carry the old Houye into the study.

  The house was quickly cleaned up. The innermost house was still where Gu Jiao lived. Gu Chengfeng and Lao Hou Ye lived next door, where Gu Chengfeng originally lived.

  This time the prefect of Yue Gucheng was at the mansion, he personally came to visit the two, and tried to test their identities, but unfortunately they didn't say a word.

  The prefect of Yumo couldn't figure out the details of the two, but seeing the two rescued the old man from the crisis-ridden Yecheng, he understood that the two were not general, and did not dare to offend the two for a while.

  The prefect, surnamed Cheng, is thirty-nine years old this year. I don’t know if it’s suffering from the frontier fortress. His face looks more mature than his actual age.

  Cheng Prefect. The two sitting on the chairs arched their hands and said, "I am sorry, the ancient city of Yue is about to go to war. I wonder if the two adults will know when the imperial court's reinforcements will arrive?"

  Gu Chengfeng said indifferently: “The imperial army is already on the way, and it will naturally arrive when the time comes. How many defenders are there now in Yue Ancient City?”

   "Five thousand." The prefect confided.

   "Only five thousand?" Gu Chengfeng said in shock, "Why are so few!"

  The prefect said helplessly: "Yuegu City is just a small town. There was no army stationed. Only half of the five thousand people were temporarily recruited."

   Temporarily recruited, it is basically to give away heads on the battlefield.

  Gu Chengfeng was silent. He really did not expect the situation in Yue Ancient City to be so difficult. With just such a small number of people, if the remnants of the previous dynasty and Chen Guo's army attacked Yue Ancient City, Yue Ancient City would be defeated.

  "Go down, we will call you if we have something to do." Gu Chengfeng said to Cheng Taishou.

  Prefect Cheng arched his hands: "If there is anything wrong with the two adults, please call Weichen at any time."

After Taishou Cheng left, Gu Chengfeng said to the man who was guarding the door: "You don't need you here anymore. You can also withdraw."

   "Yes." People have withdrawn from the yard.

  Gu Chengfeng poured a cup of hot tea for Gu Jiao naturally, and said, "Drink some saliva first."

  Gu Jiao picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

Gu Chengfeng poured himself a glass. Halfway through the drink, he put down the glass and sighed and said: "My eldest brother's army will not arrive. If they launch an offensive against Yue Ancient City now, these five thousand people are afraid to defend. Can't live."

  In the dream, the ancient city of Yue was indeed lost. Gu Jiajun arrived after the ancient city of Yue was slaughtered.

The tragedy of   yue ancient city is no wonder Gu Jiajun. After receiving the order from the imperial court, Gu Changqing has rushed back to the capital with the fastest speed, integrated Gu Jiajun with the fastest speed, and brought a hundred thousand troops to the north.

  It's a pity that the 100,000 army is not all cavalry. Under the current road conditions and armament conditions of the Zhao country, the speed of the infantry must not exceed a hundred miles a day, otherwise it may affect the combat strength of the infantry. And because of the influence of the frontier fortress climate, the closer to the north, the slower the marching speed, and it is not even ruled out that the mountain will be blocked by heavy snow.

  Not to mention that the speed of the marching army does not depend on the fastest cavalry or the second fastest infantry, but the slowest weight.

  The weight includes grain, grass, camps, weapons, and siege weapons.

  An army without heavyweights is like an unarmed soldier, and it won’t work.

  In this way, it is a miracle that Gu Changqing can arrive with the army in a few days.

   "Five days." Gu Jiao said.

   "What five days?" Gu Chengfeng asked.

   "Your eldest brother." Gu Jiao said.

  If she remembers correctly, Gu Changqing led the Gu Jiajun to arrive five days later.

  But two days later, the army of Chen Guo will come to slaughter the city.

  　 Today is also Fang Fangzi who wants a monthly pass!
