First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 842: Defending the city together (1st update)

On the way back, Chang Wei said nothing.

 Wen Renchong and Zhao Dengfeng saw Chang Wei looking shocked and kept winking at Li Shen.

Li Shen couldn't say anything in front of Chang Wei, so he had to ignore his companion's eyes.

The group of people came to the hillside where the war horses were parked, and the untied Black Wind Cavalry was really standing there properly.

On the contrary, the rope of Chang Wei's war horse was broken, but now he was still under the suppression of the Black Wind King and did not dare to go anywhere.

 “A wild beast has been here.” Gu Jiao said looking at the footprints on the ground.

The advantage of not tying a rope is that the Black Wind Riders can fight together. If they are tied, they will only be bitten to death by wild beasts.

"Are you hurt?" Gu Jiao asked, patting the Black Wind King's neck.

The Black Wind King raised his head and gave a domineering roar.

 Looks like everything is fine.

Eleven black wind riders are no joke, even if they were wolves, they were dispersed.

Chang Wei's horse was a little frightened, but it was calmed down by the Black Wind King.

In the past, everyone only saw the power of dominance in the Black Wind King. However, this time, everyone felt another side of the Black Wind King—a side they had never seen in the hands of Han Ye.

 The group got on their horses.

Gu Jiao sighed and said, "Don't be downcast. Maybe he doesn't really think that and is just talking angrily."

 This is the right persuasion. The more you persuade, the more angry you become.

Chang Wei snorted coldly, whipped him down, and rode his horse into the night.

Zhao Dengfeng finally couldn't help but express his doubts: "What happened? Was he beaten?"

 Li Shen talks little.

 He ignored Zhao Dengfeng.

 Mu Qingchen was not familiar with Zhao Dengfeng and did not speak.

 Zhao Dengfeng then looked at the young commander.

 The young commander sighed exaggeratedly: "Alas, he was scummed and his heart was broken."

 Zhao Dengfeng: “…”

 Everyone: “…”

Zhao Dengfeng and others caught up with Chang Wei. What if he wanted to escape?

After Mu Qingchen said goodbye to Gu Jiao, the two of them walked leisurely. Mu Qingchen said, "I can't guess who the general of the Liang Kingdom is, but the one from the Nangong family... seems to be the fourth son Nangong Jue."

Gu Jiao said: "Well, I think it's him too."

 He said, "My father brought Chang Wei back." That father should be the head of the Nangong family.

The head of the Nangong family has four sons in total. Nangong Cheng is the eldest son and is not good at martial arts. It is unlikely that the Nangong family will let him risk coming here in the middle of the night.

 The second son Nangong Li is dead, and the voice of the third son Nangong Ze is not like that.

 At present, only the fourth son, Nangong Jue, still has full combat power.

Mu Qingchen asked: "Do you want to kill him?"

Gu Jiao glanced at him: "Are you used to killing people now?"

Mu Qingchen lowered her eyes and said, "You have to get used to it."

 Gu Jiao is very satisfied, as expected of Young Master Qingchen, he has made rapid progress.

Gu Jiao said: "He won't come out tonight, and we can't kill him. Let's wait for the duel."

 After the group returned to the Quyangcheng military camp, Chang Wei plunged into his wounded soldiers' camp.

The medical officer felt a strong wind blowing in front of his eyes, and he immediately woke up from his sleep.

He shivered, looked at Chang Wei who almost threw himself on the hospital bed, and then looked at the young commander outside.

 He walked out quickly and asked: "Commander, is he okay like that?"

Gu Jiao said: "It's okay, don't worry about him, don't ask any questions, just take the medicine when you need it, everything will be as normal."

 “Yes.” The medical officer responded.

Everyone returned to their tents, and the medical officer went to take care of other patients.

Chang Wei was lying alone on a hospital bed covered with thick mattresses, his whole body feeling cold.

“He came from a poor family. When my father met him, he was begging on the street.”

 “He is a stubborn person, pedantic and does not know how to adapt!”

“…is the most loyal dog our Nangong family has!”

“As long as Chang Wei leads them and cooperates with you inside and outside, your Liang Kingdom’s plan to attack the city will be more effective with half the effort!”

"You yourself have no ability to lose. Do you think that our Liang army is just like the remnants of your Nangong family? They are useless! If that general named Chang Wei comes to our Liang country, he will not even be allowed to serve as a captain of thousands." !”

Chang Wei's fist tightened little by little, his whole body trembled violently, the wound burst, and blood seeped out of the gauze, dyeing the entire skirt red!

The army of Liang State discovered something unusual about their ordnance on the morning of the next day. There was a light rain at the border gate in the early morning. Several soldiers from the transport camp went to wipe the rainwater from the chariot. As soon as they touched the corners of the chariot, the chariot roared. It collapsed with a crash!

　　A few people stayed where they were.

 The huge movement alarmed the lieutenant general of the baggage camp. The lieutenant general checked the other chariots, and found that without exception, they all collapsed!

Not only that, the ladder they used to climb the tower was broken into wooden stubble.

 This was a major accident in the military camp.

  The deputy general of the baggage camp immediately reported to several generals.

When Chu Feipeng came to see the scene, he twisted the smooth cuts on the broken pieces of the chariot with his fingertips, and his eyes froze: "Snowy Sky Silk!"

The general on the side said: "General, this..."

Chu Feipeng said calmly: "It seems that someone came last night."

The general immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "This subordinate has neglected his duty!"

Chu Feipeng looked in the direction of Quyang City: "Nangong Jue is right, the Black Wind Cavalry of Dayan State is difficult to deal with. The plan to attack the city will be postponed. Tell the Nangong family that I agree to their conditions."

 …

The Liang army lost its weapons and equipment and it took eight days to transport new ladders and chariots from other cities. This was another huge amount of manpower and material resources, and it also slightly shook the morale of the army.

But it doesn’t matter, Dayan is surrounded by wolves, and Liang is not the only enemy. The other five countries are also frantically eating this piece of fat.

 Sooner or later, Dayan will be completely lost.

 September 18th, Unitary Time, the west wind is strong.

General Song Kai of Liang State led 20,000 vanguard troops to launch the first wave of attack towards the west gate of Quyang City.

The night before, Chang Wei received instructions from the Nangong family.

The Nangong family has been rooted in Quyang City for a long time, and naturally there are still their spies in the city. One of them dressed up as a food vendor and sneaked into the military camp and came to the camp where Chang Wei was recovering from his injuries.

He showed the token in his sleeve and said to Chang Wei: "The master of the house has an order. If the Liang Kingdom attacks the city soon, I order you to immediately order your men to go out and destroy the Black Wind Camp!"

Chang Wei's reaction was very calm: "Does the master of the family want me to help the evildoers and collaborate with the enemy and treason?"

The hawker said: "The king of Dayan is unkind. This is a plan to drive away tigers and devour wolves. Of course the owner of the house will not treason. When the Black Wind Camp is captured, the owner of the house will let the general lead his troops to expel the Liang army from the border of Dayan!"

Chang Wei lowered his eyes and whispered: "Really?"

The hawker smiled and said: "Of course, the head of the family is devoted to the people of Yan, and his sincerity can be seen from the world. The head of the house entrusts General Chang with important tasks. This is not only trust in General Chang, but also respect for General Chang. General Chang doesn't want it. Let the head of the family be disappointed, after all, you are the most trusted retainer of the Nangong family."

Chang Wei looked at the hawker seriously: "The owner of the family... really thinks of me like this? Don't you think I'm just a lackey of the Nangong family?"

The hawker sighed: "Why would General Chang think so? Have you heard any rumors? Ah, General Chang, you have been brought back to the border by your family for many years. Have you ever seen your family doing something that is sorry for all the people in the world? That's right. , it is wrong to abandon the city and flee, but this is also for the sake of the overall situation. Don’t forget who saved your life back then. You can’t be ungrateful without the head of the family. "

 After the hawker left, Chang Wei went to the place where prisoners of war were held for the first time.

　　They were stripped of their armor and stripped of their weapons, but no one was abused in any way.

They ate whatever the Black Wind Riders ate, and they didn't miss a single meal.

All the wounded soldiers received timely medical treatment, and the bodies of the dead soldiers were not damaged. They were all sutured and buried with a widow, so that they could be buried with dignity.

 The iron plates have also been collected and are being kept by Master Hu.

Chang Wei went to Master Hu and asked for the soldiers' iron plates back.

 The next time everyone saw Chang Wei was when the Liang army came to the city.

Chang Wei stood on the city tower in the strong west wind, wearing gleaming armor and holding a big bow in his hand.

In front of the camp of the Liang State army, Song Kai rode his horse slowly to the front of the team. Standing on the empty battlefield, he looked up at Chang Wei on the tower, smiled, and said in unauthentic Yan dialect: " You must be General Chang Wei. It seems that there is no need to fight this battle. The Nangong family has already recaptured Quyang City—"

Before he finished speaking, Chang Wei drew his bow and arrow and shot an arrow through his shoulder!

 The huge force knocked Song Kai off his horse!

Song Kai screamed and fell heavily to the ground.

He covered his injured arm and looked at Chang Wei in disbelief on the tower who was shooting cold arrows at him: "Chang! Are you crazy!"

Chang Wei raised his hand, and hundreds of archers appeared on the city tower. They all drew their big bows and pointed them in the direction of the Liang army.

These people...are not the Black Wind Cavalry from Shengdu!

 It’s the Nangong family’s military strength!

Chang Wei looked at Song Kai coldly and said, "Didn't you say that our defenders in Quyang City are all trash? How does it feel to be shot by a trash like me?"

"When did I say..." Song Kai's eyes narrowed, yes, he said it!

In front of Nangong Jue, he ridiculed Nangong's army who lost to the Black Wind Cavalry as a group of stragglers and waste!

 How did Chang Wei know?

 What did Nangong Jue tell Chang Wei?

 No, it’s impossible, Nangong Jue wouldn’t do that.

 Could it be that—

Song Kai's eyes suddenly turned cold: "You were the one who destroyed the ordnance that night!"

Chang Wei did not explain that he did not do it. There is obviously no point in talking nonsense with such a person.

Chang Wei sneered: "My strength is indeed very weak, but it is more than enough to deal with you and you bunch of thieves from Liang Kingdom! Now, just open your eyes and see how we, the losers, can You bunch of thieves from the Liang Kingdom invaded the border of Dayan!"

Song Kai resisted the severe pain in his arm and felt an ominous premonition in his heart: "What is this guy going to do?"

Chang Wei looked condescendingly at the black army of Liang State, and said with awe in all directions: "Archers, listen to the order and fire arrows!"
