Chapter 750 Young General vs. Rich Lady 53
Ji Yunhuan was obsessed with beauty and couldn't extricate himself.
The more guilty I felt, the more excited I became. Could this kid not be an adult yet? He joined the army at the age of fourteen, and I don't know if he is eighteen yet.
Ji Yunhuan shook his head and felt that he was even more of a beast.
Huo Xiao waited anxiously and couldn't help touching his right cheek. His fingers were rough and covered with calluses. He had been shooting arrows with a bow and wielding a sword for years, so several of his bone joints appeared particularly thick, which was not at all good-looking.
There were many scars on his body, but he never cared about them before, but now he was a little concerned. The scar on the right side of his face was uneven, and the gods must have seen it.
He put on the clothes given by the gods, hoping that the gods would like him more and not hate him too much.
Huo Xiao didn't dare to ask the gods what they thought. The gods were kind and would definitely not say anything even if they were disappointed.
He put on layer after layer of armor in silence and prepared to go out.
"God, please rest early. Xiao will take the bronze mirror to Beidaying now."
Ji Yunhuan drank some wine tonight and was intoxicated. He was extremely excited and not sleepy at all.
"Wait, can you chat with me for a few more minutes? There's no need to rush for a few minutes. How old are you? Are you 18?"
Huo Xiao thought that the gods disliked him for looking old. The wind and sand on the border did make people age, but he thought he was much younger than the other generals. Although he was a little ugly, he was definitely not old.
"March 8th is Xiao's birthday, and he just turned 18."
Ji Yunhuan felt relieved. It was not against the law to admire a handsome adult man, so she could look at him without any worries!
"You still have too few clothes. I'll send you a few more sets in a few days so you can change into them."
"Remember to take a photo and show it to me. If it looks good, keep it. If it doesn't, return it."
Many beautiful images flashed through Ji Yunhuan's mind. With such a great figure, of course she should wear skin-revealing clothes. It would be boring to wrap herself up so tightly.
She coughed twice and said seriously, "Is the wound on your stomach healed? Show it to me so I can buy you some medicine."
Huo Xiao whispered: "Thank you, God. I am almost recovered now. I know that my face is damaged, so I will not take photos in the future, so as not to displease the God."
Ji Yunhuan was surprised and asked, "Are you talking about the scar on your face? Believe me, a handsome man is still handsome even with a scar! In TV dramas nowadays, if a scar is drawn on the heroine's face, it is said that her appearance is ruined. This is simply deceiving oneself. It doesn't affect her beauty at all, okay?"
"I used to be a celebrity chaser, and I saw so many handsome guys. You have to trust my judgment. There are so many stars in the entertainment industry, but none of them are as good-looking as you. If you lived in modern times, I would definitely sign you, and you would definitely be a big star! The key is that there is no substitute in the domestic entertainment industry, and you will look good no matter how you shoot."
The surprise came too suddenly, Huo Xiao felt his heart beating so fast. As long as the gods didn't dislike him, it would be fine.
Huo Xiao took a few more photos. Wearing armor and holding a sword, he looked handsome to a new level!
Ji Yunhuan was very satisfied, "Not bad, not bad! If you can take more pictures, take more. It looks good, I love it! You are already wearing armor, so don't take it off. It will be troublesome to toss it. The abdominal muscles... well, I mean the wound on your stomach. Take pictures when you are free. I am not in a hurry."
Huo Xiao took the bronze mirror to Beidaying.
Before dawn, when it was the darkest, the Beirong Army attacked the city!
Huo Xiao made preparations in advance. Although the siege started a little earlier than expected, the Huo family army on the city wall was already on high alert and did not give the enemy any chance.
Of the 100,000-strong Northern Rong vanguard, 10,000 were sent to hurry on their journey.
The general leading the troops was a young man with a long braid of hair on his head, his upper body naked, shiny dark, and with strong muscles. He rode a horse that was a head taller than an ordinary warhorse and was very fast, leaving the others behind.
Tens of thousands of vanguard troops followed. Some of them fell off their horses due to exhaustion, but the others ignored them and simply rode over. Wailing sounds were heard, and the people on the ground were soon crushed into a puddle of mud.
The general turned his head and cursed, "Useless rubbish! The warriors of Rong country grew up on war horses. You can't even ride a horse well. You deserve to die!"
No one cared about the dead man. There was a group of Beirong soldiers running behind them. Not everyone had a horse to ride, so a few fast runners fought for the ownerless horse and a fight broke out.
None of the soldiers around tried to stop them, and some even cheered loudly.
The final winner, his face covered in blood, climbed onto his warhorse, hooves flying, and kicked the soldier who had just fought with him for the horse away. The winner cheered and rushed forward excitedly.
The general did not stop him, and even admired the warrior, "Well done! Whoever is stronger will get better horses, more beautiful slaves, more cattle, sheep, and food!"
"Pingyang City is full of old, weak and disabled soldiers. They are not strong enough. Warriors, follow me and charge to take down Pingyang City in one fell swoop!"
Ten thousand vanguard troops arrived at the city of Pingyang at the fastest speed.
When they were still half a mile away from the city gate, the general stopped. He was not a fool and would definitely not charge first.
The runners behind them arrived one after another. The general whipped them and cursed, "You are so slow! If you delay the opportunity to fight, I will kill you!"
The tall Beirong soldiers were almost starving to the point of skin and bones, but if they didn't come to fight, they would have nothing to eat and would only starve to death.
There was a severe drought throughout the country, and the Northern Rong people were not having a good time either. The pasture was scarce, and a large number of cattle and sheep had no food to eat, so they starved to death. They could not even grow grain, and almost got nothing.
The Northern Rong were not good at growing crops to begin with. The captured slaves only planted some crops randomly under coercion, and all the crops died. The Northern Rong people vented their anger on the slaves. Beating and scolding were the least of their punishments. Since there were not enough cattle and sheep to eat and no food, they ate the slaves!
They first ate the slaves captured from the Central Plains, and then ate the slaves of their own tribe. The Northern Rong people were fierce and good at fighting, and sometimes they would kill several people just for a sip of water.
Seeing that the country was about to fall into chaos, the Northern Rong immediately launched a war. As long as they could attack Pingyang City and rob all the way, they would be able to overcome the difficulties and capture more slaves.
Soldiers without horses were at the bottom of the society. To put it bluntly, they were used as cannon fodder. The general ordered them to move forward and said sternly, "Charge! Those who retreat will die! If you take Pingyang City, I will reward you with hot mutton soup!"
Thinking of mutton soup, the soldiers could not help but feel longing for it. They were just not starving to death, so they had some grass roots and tree bark to fill their stomachs. They were lucky to have a piece of whole grain cake. They could not be full at all. They could only exert one-third of their original ten points of strength, so their march was naturally slow.
With death as the only option, the soldiers had no choice but to charge forward.
