Every time Jane Ning went home, she hoped for a miracle to happen, so that she could see the light left on for her in the window, just like when she went home from evening study.
She had hoped countless times that when she woke up, Grandma Wu would still be there, but when her dream came true and she saw her mentor again, she was in this situation. If it weren't for Grandma Wu, the war would have ended soon, and so many soldiers would not have died in vain.
After all, not everyone is lucky enough to travel through time or be reborn with their memories. Even if they can be reincarnated, who can still remember their relatives from the previous life?
It is better to miss someone than to meet him.
Jane Ning slowly closed her eyes, really hoping that the experiences of the past few days were just a nightmare!
A few days later, reinforcements from Yue Kingdom, Di Rong and Jiu Chi arrived. The appearance of the Black Cloud Pearl not only gave hope to other princes of Yue Kingdom who had troops, but also rekindled Di Rong and Jiu Chi's confidence that Yue Kingdom could take over the Central Plains.
In order to take advantage of the situation and get a share of the pie, the two countries that were originally passive and wanted to withdraw their troops suddenly became active again. They each transferred 30,000 elite troops to Fengyi, ready to help Yue Kingdom attack Haoyi and regain lost territory!
In the past few days, Jian Ning has stockpiled several more howitzers. Tong Bajin and Qin Yifan have also urgently taught a group of soldiers how to use artillery shells. But Wu Yunzhu did not send out the bomber this time. She hid directly among the grass. When she suddenly appeared on the city wall, she laughed loudly and then flicked her long sleeves. Suddenly, a hurricane blew up on the city wall, blowing the soldiers who were preparing to bombard the Three Kingdoms Alliance like fallen leaves in the wind. Many of them were blown into the air and fell heavily to the bottom of the city wall, their brains bursting on the spot!
The towers were filled with her night-like laughter. If you shot at her, she would vanish into the grass. Suddenly, another hurricane appeared, sending wails everywhere it passed! The only one who could contend with her was the Prince of Pingnan. With a single sweep, he swept across the enemy lines. A powerful palm wind, swirling with the force of thunderous innate qi and royal aura, instantly sent the hurricane back like a massive column of wind, crashing down on Dark Cloud Pearl.
Every time her figure flashed by and disappeared, no one knew where she would jump out from the next second. The coalition forces of the three countries saw that she had the upper hand and took advantage of the situation to attack. The city defenders could not hold on, and the Yan army rushed out of the city and fought a bloody battle with the coalition forces of the three countries again.
In this battle, the Yan army lost nearly 40,000 troops and also lost the city of Haoyi. After that, Wu Yunzhu followed the same method and the 15 cities captured in less than half a month were lost one after another. When the Yan army retreated to the outside of Xing'an City, only half of the 300,000 troops remained.
King Pingnan had been a soldier for half his life, but this was the first time he suffered such a crushing defeat. The consecutive defeats also made the morale of the Dayan army unprecedentedly low. Reports flew to the capital like snowflakes, and soon Tian also knew about it. She grabbed Qinglian's hand and burst into tears.
Ma Fuquan, Ma Xiaomai, and Qiaofeng were all at the border. Her second brother and Yue'e siblings had also gone there to deliver wine. They had been reporting victories so frequently not long ago, so how could they have been defeated again? She couldn't understand it, and Qinglian didn't understand it either. She could only comfort her, telling her to think positively. Without any bad news about them, it meant everything was safe.
Tian Shi couldn't be at ease. If she didn't have a few children to raise, she would have wanted to abandon the winery and rush to the border. The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. "Sister, I'm very worried. I'm going to talk to my second sister-in-law. Please keep an eye on the family business for me. I'll be back soon."
She called Xiaolu and Xiaobing and was about to take them to Laoliu's restaurant to find her second sister-in-law when Laoliu arrived with Tian Xiaoyu.
All kinds of news spread quickly in the restaurant. Before going to the border to deliver wine, Tian Erge told Tian Ersao that her brother-in-law and eldest nephew were not in Beijing, so she should take care of her sister Tian. Therefore, when Tian Ersao heard about the successive failures at the border, she was afraid that Tian would be anxious and angry, so she sent Lao Liu with Xiaoyu to comfort her.
Old Six is now very eloquent, including Xiaoyu. The couple's interactions with others are completely different now. When he entered the house and learned that Tian was about to go to their place, Old Six said with a smile: "Aunt, don't worry. What is my uncle-in-law like? He is the dignified governor of the East Gate. Seven or eight strong men can't get close to him. What do you have to worry about?"
"That's right." Tian Xiaoyu also said, "Like father, like son. My brother is already a captain of a thousand men at a young age. He and his father are together, and Fourth Brother and His Wife are also here. What do you have to worry about? Don't worry yourself to death. If they return victorious from the battle and you fall ill, wouldn't that spoil their fun?"
The Sixth Elder and his wife sang in unison, and after a long speech of comfort, Tian Shi finally felt more at ease. She took Xiao Yu's hand and said, "I don't know whether your father is going to the north or to Xing'an. If he is going to Xing'an, please send me a message as soon as he arrives."
Second Brother Tian went to the north, while Weidong went to Xing'an. The Yue Kingdom was winning victory after victory on the main battlefield here, while the Di Rong in the north had begun to provoke again. Emperor Yongkang had been urgently summoning civil and military officials for days to urgently deploy troops and generals to support the border, and even proposed in the hall that he lead the army himself. How could this be done? The old Taifu was the first to panic, and he used all his tricks to persuade Emperor Yongkang to give up the idea of a personal expedition.
Even if the imperial reinforcements traveled day and night, it would take at least a month for them to arrive at the border. As distant water could not quench immediate thirst, the King of Pingnan summoned all the generals to discuss matters and countermeasures. Ding Youtian and Qin Yifan were looking at the map the whole time.
The Central Plains is a place with high mountains and dense forests. Blind Liu once told Ding Youtian that in the wind, thunder, rain and lightning, every blade of grass and every tree can be used as a soldier. As long as the terrain is fully utilized, Wu Yunzhu's planes and tanks will not be of much use. She can hide among the grass, but the troops of the Three Kingdoms Alliance do not have that. While he was staring at the map and frowning in thought, Weidong arrived with a wine truck.
"Disciple greets Master!" Huo Jincheng was feeling depressed and was strolling outside the village. Seeing Wei Dong and Yue Chan driving their carriage over, he hurried forward and knelt deeply in greeting. Wei Dong was startled for a moment, "Get up! Why are you being so polite for no reason? Get up quickly!"
"Master, my uncle is also in the camp."
"Oh, seriously?" Wei Dong, who was about to head to the village, paused when he heard this. "Where is your uncle? Take us to see him quickly. We haven't seen him in so many years. Why didn't he come out to greet us when we came?"
Jian Ning came over after hearing the noise. She had been gloomy these days because of the pessimistic situation, but now she forced a smile when she saw them. She called out "Uncle Wei" and said hello to Yuechan and her sister. Then she told Weidong, "Uncle Lei has taken his men to the mountains to collect herbs. You should go into the tent and rest first, have some tea, and Uncle Lei and his men will be here soon."
"Yes, I am indeed tired. I have heard about all the things that happened at the border along the way. Don't worry. When the enemy comes, we will fight. Victory and defeat are common in the military. Don't get too anxious and hurt yourself. No matter what you do, the most important thing is to have a strong spirit. With a strong spirit, you can accomplish anything."
He saw that Jian Ning and Huo Jincheng were both a little listless, and pointed at them.
