After recognizing the villain daddy, the little apprentice sister cheats all the way

Chu Chaozhao raised his head and stared at the people behind him, at all the heroes who had died before him, and calmed down to analyze the situation.

This was only the first battle. Although they wiped out the local army of 100,000 with minimal sacrifices, this was just the beginning. These 100,000 troops were just a test for the other side.

Lianyue City only has 250,000 troops left, while the other side has 500,000 troops. The disparity is too huge. What's more fatal is that the news of the war can be cut off by people with ulterior motives in their own country. The food in the city is limited, and reinforcements are nowhere in sight. This time, the enemy seems to be mobilizing the entire country to take over the northern border and invade the Canglan Empire.

As she expected, the enemy was silent for only one day before coming back again. Xiao's army suffered heavy casualties, and the food in the city was running out. The people saved their own rations and gave them to the army.

Heavy snow blocked the border, cold, hunger, and despair filled the entire city, but there was no movement from the court.

In the early morning of a cold winter day, even a yawn can feel like the bone-chilling cold wind blocking your throat.

Xiao Hefeng stood on the stairs below the city. Below him were the people who stayed in the entire city, almost all the people in the city.

He lowered his head, full of apology and guilt, and told everyone about the recent war without hiding anything.

The soldiers all around hung their heads in guilt. The civilians wrapped in cotton-padded jackets were shivering in the cold winter wind. Their eyes were all red, but no one was crying. Even the youngest child, who was only five years old, did not make a sound.

Xiao Hefeng raised his head, his eyes full of determination: "But don't worry, everyone, don't sleep tonight. Late at night, our soldiers will carefully send you out through the secret passage, and the remaining soldiers will raid the enemy camp. The enemy will not notice you for the time being, and we will definitely protect you and leave alive!"

The old man who had been chatting with Chu Chaozhao and the others at the gate of Xiao's mansion that day stood up and asked in a deep voice, "What about the remaining soldiers? What about you, General Xiao?"

Xiao Hefeng suddenly laughed: "My duty as a general is to protect the border. I will never retreat even if I die in battle. Lianyue City cannot be lost. The Xiao family has no reason to retreat."

The old man hesitated and shed tears: "But you are the only one left in the Xiao family's bloodline!"

The others also began to sob.

"The fate of the Xiao family is to guard the northern border and die on the battlefield. Dying on the battlefield is our greatest blessing. You don't have to be sad about it. As long as you are all alive, our sacrifice is worth it! Everyone, hurry back and pack up. We will take action tonight."

The people knelt down one after another and sobbed quietly in the heavy snow.

Xiao Hefeng took Ye Heming and all the generals to help them up.

The people looked back every few steps and gradually disappeared at the end of the snow.

Xiao Hefeng turned to look at the eight people and sighed softly: "Little Miss Zhao, you should follow me today. This war is a matter between the two countries and has nothing to do with you."

Chu Chaozhao said in a deep voice: "How many people do you plan to send for the sneak attack tonight?"

Ye Heming laughed: "What are you worried about, little kid? Today, the general will personally lead 5,000 soldiers to launch a surprise attack. We will definitely catch the enemy off guard! Hahaha!"

With only 5,000 men against an enemy force of 500,000 with reinforcements coming in continuously, they will definitely not return today!

The eight people were filled with shock and their eyes were blurred with tears.

Ye Heming and the generals behind him all laughed when they saw this.

"What are you doing? Weren't you very brave when you killed the enemies one by one? Don't look like a crybaby. From the moment we joined the army, we knew that this day would always come." Ye Heming subconsciously and lovingly wanted to wipe the tears of the three girls in front of him, but then he realized that it was not right, so he turned his outstretched hand and gently patted Chu Chaozhao's shoulder, and then gently patted the other girl's shoulder.

He turned to the boys and said, "It's ok for a few girls to cry, but what are you guys doing? Why are you being so sissy?"

The generals behind him laughed helplessly and came forward one after another, trying to comfort him.

"You are still young, and it's normal for you to see the separation of life and death for the first time."

"Yes, if you can't bear it, forget about us today and don't have nightmares every night."

"Right, right, right. Especially forget about Vice General Ye. If you dream about his face, you will really have a nightmare!"

"Old Xu!" Ye Heming shouted, "What are you doing! You are just trying to smear the children's eyes. I think you are just jealous of their good relationship with me!"

As they were trying to comfort each other, they started chattering again.

Xiao Hefeng shook his head helplessly and laughed.

Chu Chaozhao wiped away his tears casually, stood beside him, and looked at the quarreling generals: "General Xiao, are you willing to let them launch a surprise attack today? Especially Deputy General Ye, are you willing to let him go?"

Xiao Hefeng looked at her, surprise flashed in his eyes, and he laughed, as if he remembered something:

"They have followed me for many years, so I was reluctant to let them go, especially Ye Heming. After my whole family died in the war, he rode here from the capital alone. You don't know, he is stupid, and he was cheated by bandits along the way. When he came to Lianyue City in the northern border to see me, I could hardly recognize him.

Don't look at his appearance, he is the son of a prince of the opposite sex, a tyrant in the capital, a dandy, who beat up all the daughters and young masters of the aristocratic families in the capital, and is extremely unruly, but for me, he gave up all his wealth and glory, gave the position of the prince to his own brother, and became a beggar all the way to the North. "

He still remembered that it was a day with heavy snow just like today, and the whole city was covered in white.

In the Xiao family mansion, white silk masks were placed. The mansion was so big that it was filled with coffins and there was no more space. Almost everyone in the Xiao family died on the battlefield, and even the funeral was handled by the common people.

He was only thirteen years old at that time.

He sat on the threshold of his mansion in plain clothes, looking desperate. Behind him were the busy figures of the people, and in front of him was heavy snow.

At that time, he really felt that it would be better for him to die too. After all, the last thing his family lacked was a coffin. There was clearly a vast expanse of white in front of him, but he could not see any light at all.

But there was a person, pitch black in the white, stumbling towards him, falling as he ran, then standing up again, shouting, "Ahe, Ahe, here I come, Ahe!"

Little Xiao Hefeng raised his head with tearful eyes, and saw a tall black dot lying in front of him. He was so scared that he took a big step back and fell to the ground. In the end, he was picked up by him.

"who are you?"

The little Ye Heming was in ragged clothes, all black and covered with frost. His dirty fingers lifted up his messy black hair, revealing his black face with only teeth. His black eyes rolled around: "It's me! Ah He, it's me! I'm Ah He!"

Xiao Hefeng stayed in the capital when he was a child. In order to balance the power of the Xiao family, the new emperor also made the ministers in the court shut up. At that time, he had just been born and stayed in the capital alone. The Xiao family and the Ye family were next door. Ye Heming was always hanging out outside. When he was called by the parents, Prince Ye would beat him. Once, Ye Heming climbed over the wall and hid in the Xiao Mansion.

He happened to hide in his room, and was afraid that little A'he would cry and be discovered, so he just awkwardly held little A'he and tried to comfort her.
