Chapter 614 General Wang is always ready to run away
"Princess, Zhao Xu is attacking with 20,000 soldiers!" Guo Sheng excitedly came over to report the news. His eyes were filled with shock and admiration as he looked at Xiao Jiuyue. He said, "Princess, you are truly amazing!"
Guo Sheng gave Xiao Jiuyue a thumbs-up and asked excitedly, "Princess, how did you know that Zhao Xu would definitely lead his men to attack?"
"Twenty thousand soldiers are really a huge difference compared to fifty thousand soldiers!" Guo Sheng thought of General Qin who had already prepared on the city wall, and the pile of gunpowder under the city wall!
Once the fight starts, they will definitely be in the lead temporarily!
"Zhao Xu couldn't wait to capture Jiashui City. With our previous hints, Zhao Xu must have thought that summoning Jiashui City to bluff was the best time to attack."
Xiao Jiuyue's lips curled slightly. She stood at the doorway, hearing the sound of gunpowder explosions from the city gate in the distance. When she thought of how many soldiers would be sacrificed, the smile on her face disappeared. She said, "I hope this battle will go smoothly, and there will be no more wars in the future!"
"Yes, fighting like this will result in too many casualties." Guo Sheng sighed and said, "Princess, I will go to the city wall now to see how the battle is going."
"Go, tell General Qin to follow what we discussed yesterday." Xiao Jiuyue instructed, watching Guo Sheng's departing back, and couldn't wait to tell Jun Lie the good news: "Jun Lie, soon, we will be able to win a big victory!"
"If you wake up, will you praise me?"
Xiao Jiuyue massaged Jun Lie's hands and legs and said happily, "Although I'm a woman, I can also lead troops into battle!"
"Well, am I awesome?"
Xiao Jiuyue's heart, which had been hanging in the air for a long time, finally relaxed a little at this moment. She said, "We hope that our explosive package this time can scare Zhao Xu to death. Tonight, if He Changqing and the boss successfully burn down the granary..."
When Xiao Jiuyue talked about this, her mood also became excited: "Then the crisis in Jiashui City will be solved by half!"
Luo Kui was originally going to bring food to Xiao Jiuyue, but when she heard Xiao Jiuyue massaging the prince and talking to him, and the setting sun outside the window illuminating Xiao Jiuyue's profile, Luo Kui quietly retreated.
"Donggui, I think the princess' life is really not easy."
Luo Kui put the snacks aside and said with emotion, "Back when the Xiao family was in trouble, when the princess was still the eldest daughter, she single-handedly supported the Xiao family. Now, the prince is in a coma, the princess is pregnant, and she still has to worry about the people of Jiashui City!"
"The princess is a heroine, no less capable than any man!" Dong Gui said, adding, "No, she is a role model for us women!"
"Donggui, do you think the prince can really wake up now that the people from the Flower Clan are here?" Sometimes Luokui looked at the sleeping prince. If he was not still breathing, she would doubt how a living person could sleep for so long!
"Yes!" Dong Gui said confidently. She looked towards the tower and said, "Luo Kui, look, the princess has kept her promise. Zhao Xu really has brought the Xijiang soldiers to attack. So, the prince will definitely wake up!"
"We will definitely win, and we will definitely return to Hongdu safely!" Luo Kui said excitedly. She said, "I'll look for it again tomorrow. Who knows, I might find some food to fill my stomach!"
"Then keep up the good work!" Dong Gui said encouragingly, "I don't know if He Changqing and the others are doing well."
"They will definitely win. The boss used to be a bandit. He Changqing and his men work for the escort agency and have traveled all over the country. They will definitely succeed in burning the food supplies." Luo Kui said seriously. When it was time for dinner, Luo Kui brought some snacks to Xiao Jiuyue.
"Princess, there will definitely be good news later. Mother Yu made you some fish fillet in sour soup today. Please eat more rice later."
Luo Kui brought some snacks to Xiao Jiuyue's stomach and asked, "By the way, Princess, what do you think if the Crown Prince of Xijiang disagrees with Zhao Xu sending troops? Or what if all the Crown Prince's troops arrive?"
Luo Kui thought about it for half the afternoon but still couldn't figure it out.
Xiao Jiuyue took a piece of chestnut cake, looked at Luokui's puzzled expression, smiled, and said, "Donggui, tell her."
"Ah?" Luo Kui felt like she was very stupid!
"You said, there are two brothers in a family who are not getting along and are fighting for the family property. Do you think they will do good for each other?" Dong Gui asked instead of answering.
"No." Luo Kui shook his head and said, "It's come to a point where it's a life-or-death struggle. How can it be okay?"
"Isn't that right?" Donggui shrugged.
"What's wrong?" Luo Kui looked at her doubtfully, "Princess, does this have anything to do with sending troops?"
"Of course." Xiao Jiuyue nodded affirmatively and said, "The Xijiang Prince's troops will definitely be dispatched, but they won't be too many to let Zhao Xu win!"
Basella seemed to understand but not quite.
Xiao Jiuyue didn't explain it in detail, but let her figure it out on her own. Some things had to be figured out by oneself.
However, it’s all about trade-offs.
Compared with the stability of Jiashui City and the prince's status, the stability of the prince's status is of course more important!
The prince might be credited with the victory of taking Jiashui City, but he was already the prince, and Zhao Xu was coveting the throne of the Xijiang Emperor, which the prince naturally could not tolerate!
"Perhaps, the prince wants to reap the benefits!" Xiao Jiuyue felt that the history books she had read before were not in vain, and the psychology course she took in college was not in vain!
Otherwise, how could she figure it out so clearly now?
Perhaps Zhao Xu really did what she wanted. Xiao Jiuyue was in a good mood and even ate two more bowls of rice. After dinner, Guo Sheng was like a messenger, constantly coming to report news.
"Princess, our gunpowder is being thrown down like it's free, and it's frightening the Xijiang soldiers!"
Guo Sheng's face flushed with excitement. He said, "When I came here, General Qin said that Zhao Xu might be thinking of retiring!"
"It's too early to retreat now. He Changqing and the boss haven't finished their work yet. Let General Qin hold on a little longer." Xiao Jiuyue ordered.
Soon Guo Sheng ran up to the tower again. General Qin and Prince Ling were standing together. Guo Sheng seemed to be reporting to Prince Ling, but in fact, he was also reporting to General Qin. After hearing what Guo Sheng said, General Qin said, "Tell the princess, I have a plan in mind. We must consume this wave of Xijiang soldiers to the maximum extent!"
This is an opportunity that comes right to your doorstep. Once the reinforcements from Xijiang arrive, it will be difficult to find such an opportunity again!
"yes."
Guo Sheng's ears were almost deafened by the gunpowder explosion. The soldiers led by Zhao Xu had not even broken through the city gate before they were blown down one by one.
…
"Jiashui City hasn't been taken yet?" General Wang packed up his belongings, ready to flee at any moment. Hearing the news from his guards, he frowned, "With 20,000 soldiers, can they hold out for this long?"
"General, the Xijiang soldiers haven't even broken through the city gate! They are still the first batch of soldiers on the city wall!" The guard's words made General Wang frown.
