When the ancient Shu people rushed to the camp in the southern suburbs of Jueping City, Feng Yuheng was leaning in Xuan Tianming's arms, twisting his hair casually, laughing so hard that her stomach hurt: "It seems that it's always men twisting women's hair for fun, but you see, you also have long hair, how can anyone resist not touching you!"
Xuan Tianming had never had much resistance to his wife. Today was his wedding day, and he had drunk some wine, so he was always tempted to do something. But he had to hold it in, because Gu Shu would definitely attack the city tonight, which was something they had expected early on, and they couldn't let the love of a young man and his wedding night delay the important matter. So, he hugged his wife and said, "I'll spare you tonight, but you've married me, and sooner or later you'll be in my hands."
Feng Yuheng knew what he meant, and her cheeks blushed, but she still tried to defend herself: "Well, I'm only fifteen years old. In fact, this age is not suitable for consummating marriage. A woman's body hasn't grown up yet."
"Some people get married at the age of fifteen and become mothers at the age of sixteen. Why haven't they grown up yet?" Xuan Tianming was puzzled. "You have said this before, but isn't it the same for everyone in the world?"
Feng Yuheng knew that it was difficult to explain this to the ancients, but she was mature and had practiced martial arts, so she was much stronger than those delicate girls. She knew that if they consummated the marriage, it wouldn't be a problem. Thinking of this, she didn't dwell on it too much, but just pulled Xuan Tianming's hair hard again, and only expressed satisfaction when she saw him grimacing in pain.
Xuan Tianming was very helpless! "Other women are very shy on their wedding day, but our wife is really special, she is like nothing happened. I say, do you still remember that today is our wedding day? It should be the wedding night now?"
"Why don't I remember?" The little girl refused to give in. She turned over and knelt in front of him and said, "Isn't this a special case? Listen - is there something wrong outside?"
When she said this, Xuan Tianming really pricked up his ears. The army was attacking the city, and the noise on the sand could not be heard as far as in the plains, but the shouting and killing had already reached Jueping City. His eyes lit up: "The ancient Shu people are coming!"
"Unfortunately, they can't even take a step closer to the city wall." Feng Yuheng stood up with a smile and put on his shoes slowly.
"Not only the city wall, even the camp in the southern suburbs cannot be approached!" Xuan Tianming said, and then raised his eyebrows to look at her bright red wedding gown that she had not changed out of. Then he looked at himself, who was also wearing a red gown, and couldn't help but ask: "What? Are we going to the battlefield like this?"
"Isn't it good?" Feng Yuheng smiled slyly, "Tonight is our wedding night. The ancient Shu people are not polite. They choose this time to find fault. Maybe they forgot what day it is. Then we should remind them and teach them how to behave."
Xuan Tianming nodded, "Well, I think the two of us in red are pretty good, so why not let the ancient Shu people spend an unforgettable night in this red!"
After he finished speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, both understanding what the so-called "unforgettable night" meant. When the blood of ancient Shu flowed into rivers, wasn't it this red?
In fact, what Xuan Tianming said was not an exaggeration. Ancient Shu sent 300,000 troops to attack the city this time, but they could not even get close to the southern gate of Jueping City or even the camp of Dashun in the southern suburbs. With the sound of thunder and bang, the ancient Shu vanguard was blown to pieces in the blink of an eye.
Bi Xiu was at the rear, surrounded by a large army. He watched everything happening in front of him from afar, and couldn't help but sweating coldly on his back. "What's going on?" he asked the deputy general beside him, "General Dashun didn't come out, so why did the thunder explode?"
The deputy general was also confused, and said in a daze: "Yes! In the past, the thunder was thrown out by the Dashun people with their hands. How come this time the thunder exploded without even a shadow of a person? Could it be that... the thunder is underground?"
They guessed correctly. Long before Xuan Tianming's wedding, he had already made sufficient preparations. He set up a formation five miles south of the Nanjiao camp and buried mines in the sand. There was no need for the Dashun army to send out troops. As long as the ancient Shu people dared to approach, the minefield would be triggered immediately, sending them to hell without hesitation.
But Bi Xiu didn't understand! The ancient Shu people didn't understand either! The soldiers didn't even think that thunder was buried underground. In their opinion, this thing was heavenly thunder, the kind of thunder that people had been talking about and exaggerating! And the ancient Shu was now being struck by thunder from heaven! So much so that the Dashun people didn't even need to show up. As long as the ancient Shu people approached Jueping City, the thunder from the sky would immediately descend and strike them to a charred, bloody mess.
The ancient Shu army was frightened and dared not move forward, but Bi Xiu was unwilling to give up. He yelled at the army, asking them to continue to charge forward, otherwise they would be punished by military law.
The soldiers standing at the front were the most unlucky. They didn't know whether to charge or not, but Bi Xiu simply drew his bow and shot arrows at the backs of the heads of those soldiers who hesitated and refused to move forward. After several people fell, people became numb and realized that they would die if they moved forward or retreated. It would be better to just be struck by lightning and die, so that they could feel the power of the thunder. So, another group of people tried the thunder themselves, but they still died in the explosion.
Gradually, the minefield turned into a bloody sand. Under the moonlight, it looked like the bright red wedding gowns that Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng were wearing, reminding people once again that today was the wedding day of the Ninth Prince of Dashun and Princess Ji'an. Even God couldn't stand them rushing over like this, and sent down thunder to punish them!
Someone bravely suggested to Bi Xiu: "General, today is not a good day to attack the city. Even God doesn't agree!"
As soon as this was said, countless people immediately followed suit. It was not that they did not dare to fight, but how should they fight a war with such a huge disparity? In the past, it could be considered a battle between two armies, but now there was not even a shadow of the Dashun people. The thunderbolt struck directly, and the 300,000-man army was instantly cut off. This was not on the same level at all.
After this battle, the ancient Shu soldiers lost their confidence to continue. Although Bi Xiu was unwilling, the facts were in front of him. What could he do? Even the deputy general beside him advised him: "General, we can't fight anymore. If we continue to fight, all of us will have to die here!"
Bi Xiu gritted his teeth and said, "Is it possible that Dashun's thunderbolts will never stop exploding? Can't 300,000 people fill their thunderbolts?"
"But even if it is filled up, what can we do? They can make the sky mines, but our 300,000 people will be gone if they are killed in the explosion! General, withdraw the troops! If we don't withdraw now, it will be too late if the Dashun soldiers come out to attack us!"
Bi Xiu also understood this principle. Looking at his own troops, they were really scared by Dashun. Even if they fought, they would not get a good result. So he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Retreat!"
However, it was too late. The order to retreat had already been issued, but before the soldiers could turn around and run back, cheers were heard from the Dashun camp. It seemed that someone was shouting, "Ancient Shu people! Where are you fleeing to!" People looked in shock and saw countless Dashun soldiers rushing out of the camp and charging straight towards them.
Bi Xiu was so scared that he quickly ordered people to drive the chariot and ran back desperately. Behind him, the rumbling sound sounded again, and people's desperate shouts also came from behind him. He didn't dare to look back, and could only keep urging the chariot, fearing that the thunderbolt would suddenly fall on his head.
Finally, the gate of Yueping City was in front of him. Bi Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief and mustered up the courage to look back. He found that the Dashun soldiers did not attack in one fell swoop. They even stopped some distance away from Yueping City. However, so many pairs of eyes were looking at him at the same time, which made him shudder.
"General!" the deputy general urged, "Hurry up and enter the city! It makes no difference whether the Dashun people stop or not. Their thunderbolts and those strange hidden weapons have a much longer range than bows and arrows. We can't be careless!"
Bi Xiu nodded, and without stopping, he rushed directly to Yueping City. Even after all the ancient Shu army entered the city, the Dashun soldiers did not pursue them. Bi Xiu was puzzled, and after thinking for a while, he simply climbed up the city wall. Although climbing the city wall also had certain risks, at this point, the enemy was outside the city, and he had to go up to take a look. He couldn't just hide under the city and speculate like a blind man. Moreover, after these battles, his military prestige in the hearts of the soldiers had already declined more than a little. If he continued to be a coward, he was afraid that the Dashun people would not only eat him, but his own soldiers would also rebel.
Bi Xiu climbed up the city wall panting heavily. On the one hand, he was scared, and on the other hand, he was tired. But when he glanced down at the bottom of the city wall, he almost collapsed!
Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng arrived, both of them wearing bright red wedding gowns, and rushed to the battlefield as if they were getting married. The dazzling red clothes stimulated Bi Xiu to scream!
"General, be careful." The deputy general reminded him, and at the same time kept paying attention to the actions of the Dashun soldiers, just in case someone suddenly used a cold weapon to kill them without any preparation. But as an ancient Shu man, the deputy general had to admire the Ninth Prince and Princess Ji'an of Dashun. You know, when Bi Xiu and he went to the battlefield, they were surrounded by soldiers. Being in the middle meant that no matter where the enemy was, they would not be hit at the first time. They had enough meat shields and enough shields, which was the most advantageous whether they were advancing or retreating. But the Ninth Prince and Princess Ji'an of Dashun stood directly in front of the team, facing the enemy head-on with their noble bodies, so bold that people were in awe.
"Little girl!" Bi Xiu gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Why don't you spend your wedding night with your husband properly and come out to cause trouble for this general? Don't you want to see your husband on your wedding night, and are you thinking about this general in your heart?" He smiled lewdly, with a lewd look on his face.
But the red-dressed lady on the other side could be heard laughing. There was a strange thing on her lips, and the sound came from that thing, so loud that it could be heard throughout the night sky. She said, "Marmot, even if you stand on the city wall, it seems that you can only show a pair of eyes. You look more like a mouse. Why not put a brick under your feet? Don't look like the deputy general next to you who is taking his grandson to school."
