Chapter 272 Silent Guarding
Shen Ning is having someone set up a minefield.
Not thunder bombs, but mines.
If she dared to settle down and set up a business in Beihai Prefecture, she must have made some preparations. Moreover, this time the Yuan Dynasty did not really want to launch a large-scale invasion of the Daxuan Dynasty. It was only targeting the small place of Beihai Prefecture, so naturally it would not start a big war.
But since the guests are here, she naturally has to treat them well.
The vanguard of the Yuan army was thrown into chaos and furious by a "grenade". Seeing hundreds of cavalrymen in front of them fleeing wildly, the vanguard general was furious and ordered a full-speed attack.
Just a hundred cavalrymen, even with those damn thunder bombs, do they think they can stop the tens of thousands of Yuan Dynasty soldiers and horses?
dream!
All their strange and clever skills are only temporary. Once his Yuan army breaks through Beihai Prefecture, he will definitely tear them into pieces!
"Attack! Charge!"
Chen Ning galloped forward, and behind her, the Yuan Dynasty army, thousands of horses and soldiers, approached like thunder...
Three, two, one...
Shen Ning smiled and curled her lips: "Bang..."
The next moment, the sky collapsed and the earth shook.
The vanguard of the Yuan army rushed into the minefield and was caught off guard and was blown to pieces. The Beihai cavalry in front of them had clearly fled far away, and they did not see the fire sliding down after the thunder bombs were ignited, but the ground under their feet just cracked and exploded.
They didn't even know what was going on.
The soldiers on horseback were blown to pieces, and the entire vanguard army was in chaos for a while.
The commander of the vanguard army was trembling with fear, but then he found that the cavalry who rushed up later were safe and sound, and there was no more earth-shattering explosion.
"Haha, once, that gunpowder can only explode once... Charge, Beihai Mansion is just ahead, charge in and avenge the soldiers!"
"rush!"
“Charge!”
The vanguard general took the lead and galloped forward, his eyes red and full of murderous intent.
So many soldiers were killed in the explosion. The Daxuan Dynasty was extremely vicious. It occupied the most fertile areas and all the beautiful mountains and rivers and fertile land. Even the small border town had such coal mines... but it was so vicious that it refused to let others have a share!
They want to rush into Beihai Prefecture, enslave their people, divide up their property, and steal their women... to avenge the men of the Yuan Dynasty!
rush……
"boom!"
When the whole person floated up into the air, the vanguard general was even a little confused.
What happened?
Then he saw his headless body and his bloody mount collapsing on the dark field below, illuminated by the fire...
The rumbling sound in the wilderness reached Beihai City.
In Beihai Prefecture, every household is having a New Year's Eve dinner. It's not sumptuous, but everyone in the family can eat their fill. There are vegetables and even some meat.
But at this time, the news of the Yuan army's invasion spread.
People were running wildly in the streets, shouting, "The Yuan army is coming! The Yuan army is coming! They are going to burn, kill, and loot! Run for your lives! Run for your lives!"
Some people knocked over candles in panic, some rushed out of their homes with hot steamed buns still in their mouths, the people ran out of the doors and onto the streets, and then ran towards the city gate without any prior agreement.
They didn't escape, at least, they didn't want to escape now.
After so much effort, my home feels like a home and I feel like a human being again. I can’t bear to leave everything behind!
People are looked down upon when they leave their hometown. Where can they escape to?
But when the people rushed into the streets and ran towards the city gate to see, they found that Princess Yong'an of their Beihai Prefecture was actually standing on the city wall.
The night was dark, the torches on the city walls flickered, and the rumbling sounds in the distance continued to sound and were getting closer and closer. Everyone knew that the Yuan army was approaching.
Zhang Duo was also on the city wall, looking at the princess who remained unmoved, and he could not deny his admiration for her.
A young girl, yet she can be as steady as a rock at such a critical moment, is something that not everyone can do.
No one knew that under Chen Ning's thick rabbit fur cloak, a pair of legs were trembling slightly...
Are the Yuan army crazy? They can’t be stopped by one minefield after another?
Are you really not afraid of death?
It's getting closer, what should I do... Ahhhhh... She can't fight, she can only use thermal weapons to cover fire... Help...
Someone next to her calmly held her arm. Shen Ning looked up and saw Yuan Yue with a calm expression.
The young man looked calmly at the wasteland outside the city and whispered, "Don't worry, young lady. Even if the Yuan army enters the city, I will definitely escort you away safely."
Shen Ning pulled the corner of his mouth without saying anything.
It wasn't a question of whether she could escape, it was a question of her wanting to protect this city! This was the city she had worked so hard to build and develop.
She took a deep breath and said, "Get the trebuchets ready."
Besides the minefields, there were also thunder bombs. She just didn't believe that the Yuan army really had no fear of death...
At this time, everyone could see the Yuan army's formation, but compared to the initial situation, the formation was in complete chaos.
The Yuan army was terrified and angry after being bombed. They rushed forward like crazy, wanting revenge, but then they saw another minefield...
“Bang!” “Boom!” “Boom…”
The Yuan army was blown to pieces one after another.
At this moment, the sound of golden bells rang out from behind the Yuan army formation, and the next moment, the Yuan army retreated.
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"
The Yuan army generals' eyes were bloodshot with anger, and they stared at the Beihai city wall, wishing they could rush in and tear the people inside into pieces... However, along the way, the minefields one after another had almost exhausted their elite forces.
Thinking of the soldiers and warriors who were thrown to the ground and covered in blood and flesh, the Yuan army generals gnashed their teeth in hatred, but they no longer had the ability to move forward.
If the bombing continues like this, even if we can get close to Beihai Prefecture, there won't be many people left...
Their sneak attack this time ended in complete failure!
The people below the city wall only heard the noise outside suddenly quiet down. They were panicked and didn't know what to do, when suddenly they heard a thunderous roar from the city wall.
"The Yuan army retreated! The Yuan army retreated!"
"The Yuan Dynasty has withdrawn its troops!"
"We have defended Beihai Prefecture! We have defended the border town!"
The soldiers and civilians all cheered, tears in their eyes, and were extremely excited.
In the past, cities like their Beihai Prefecture would only become roadblocks that barely stopped the enemy's advance when invaded from outside, and would be kicked away effortlessly... The people would either be slaughtered or flee to the interior and become displaced.
Everyone knew that Liaodong Pass was the main fortress for defending against foreign enemies, but who could have imagined that it was their small Beihai Prefecture that completely crushed the Yuan Dynasty's sneak attack conspiracy on New Year's Eve and drove back the Yuan army...
I don't know who spoke first, but soon, everyone on and off the city wall cheered: "Princess Yong'an!"
"Princess Yong'an!"
"Princess Yong'an!"
"Princess Yong'an!"
Zhang Duo looked at the delicate and beautiful princess wearing a cloak not far away with mixed feelings... Although he had been prepared, in the previous situation, this little princess could actually stand on the city wall with the soldiers without taking a single step back.
He is steady and unmoved by any circumstances. With such courage and boldness, Zhang Duo... admires him!
Chen Ning's legs were no longer shaking and her heart was no longer panicking. She grabbed Yuan Yue's arm so hard that her knuckles turned white: "I did it, I did it! Yuan Yue, I did it... I defended my city! I defended it!"
From the beginning to the end, Yuan Yue knew everything that others couldn't see. She knew her worries in the past few days, her little by little preparations. She saw her nervousness, fear, anxiety, and trembling before... and saw her joyful and happy cheering at this moment...
"Well, Miss is very powerful..."
Shen Ning felt a little embarrassed. After all, Yuan Yue knew how panicked and trembling she looked just now, but what did it matter?
He won't tell anyone, haha...
Others will only see her, Princess Yong'an, who remained calm and turned the tide at the critical moment... Hahahaha
It’s worthy of her!
Seeing Chen Ning almost jumping for joy but forcing herself to hold back and maintain a calm demeanor, the young man finally couldn't suppress the tenderness in his eyes. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, but he looked away the moment before being discovered...
That's good.
Being able to be by her side, being trusted by her, and seeing all her vibrant sides, this is already good, this... is enough...
