Xichun, the first daughter of the Red Chamber

Jin Han was sitting on the ground wiping his urinals when he suddenly heard footsteps approaching in his ears, subconsciously picked up the urinals and swept them over.

Wu Hai dodged the sweeping gun, and saw Jin Han's guarded eyes and posture, and heaved a sigh inwardly.

When Jin Han saw that it was Wu Hai who came, he took back the gun, "Why are you here?"

Wu Hai raised the bowl in his hand, "I'll bring you something to eat."

Jin Han took the bowl, seeing that the bowl was only half filled with gray paste, he didn't say anything, he ate it up in small bites, and then thanked Wu Hai.

Wu Hai took the bowl, "Would you like some more? This paste is made from grass roots and tree bark. They are not very hungry. They caught some fish and made some fish soup."

Jin Han shook his head, "No need, I can't eat."

Wu Hai snorted coldly, "Blindly hypocritical, in a few days even these gooey things will be gone, I'll see if you eat fish or not."

Jin Han smiled wryly, "...I just can't accept it yet. When it comes to life and death, let alone eating fish, I can do anything."

On the night of the New Year's Eve, Qianxiang Kingdom launched a sneak attack, and they were caught off guard. They reluctantly organized troops to stop Qianxiang Kingdom, and then sent a message to Beijing and nearby areas to alert them and ask for help.

The surrounding prefectures and counties reacted quickly, and immediately took precautions and mobilized some troops to support them, but they barely resisted Qianxiang Kingdom's attack.

Jin Han doesn't even know how he got here these days. Every time he opens and closes his eyes, the people around him almost change. He only remembers to kill, and keeps killing. Sometimes it takes him a while to react when the fighting is suspended. Wherever I was, I kept vomiting.

Wu Hai was silent for a while and said, "How are you sleeping now?"

Jin Han thought for a while, and answered truthfully, "I can't fall asleep. When I close my eyes, there are corpses all over the floor, with blood everywhere. I stand in the middle of the corpses, and I even feel... I am also a corpse."

"All new recruits are like this, just get used to it." Wu Hai said seriously: "You don't want to eat fish because those fish ate the corpses in the water, but how long can you survive on those grass roots and bark? You Can't eat well, sleep well..."

Jin Han remained silent.

Wu Hai sighed, and simply pulled Jin Han to sit down, "Hey, let me tell you, tell me about your county lord, this time, I heard it was their Jia family who made it?"

Jin Han glanced at him, "It's about the reputation of the woman, how can I make comments at will."

Wu Hai chuckled, "Well, since you still remember your little county magistrate, it means that you won't be in trouble."

Wu Hai bumped into his shoulder, "You have to work hard to survive, go back to the capital to marry your little county master, right?"

Jin Han frowned, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Wu Hai shook his head and shook his head, "You, sometimes you are too restrained, you just go after her if you like her, so what if you just think about it in secret? Every time you want to know the other party's recent situation, you always beat around the bush... ..."

Seeing that Jinhan was going to get angry, Wu Hai quickly said: "I didn't say that, you kept saying that you would bless County Lord Jia when she has a good marriage, now I'm asking you, if there is such a day, you will be willing let go?"

"Don't they all say that the choices people make at the time of life and death are truly from the heart? Think about those questions now, what exactly do you want?"

Jin Han froze, turned his head and remained silent.

Wu Hai didn't care, he put his hands behind his head and lay on the ground looking at the sky, "... If I can survive this time, I want to go to the capital and ask the second lady of the Jia family...whether she wants to marry Give me."

"I know I'm a little wishful thinking, but I think, people always have to find something for themselves at a time like this, otherwise they won't be able to survive."

"Hey, let's ask together when the time comes? We can cheer each other up."

Jin Han couldn't help but said, "Who wants to ask with you?"

Wu Hai grinned, and didn't remind Jin Han that he didn't refute what he said about going to the capital to ask County Lord Jia.

After a while, Wu Hai said again: "But don't worry too much. Father said that the documents have been sent away, and it is estimated that they should arrive in Beijing in time. If the papers from the surrounding states and counties should arrive in Beijing sooner, maybe now Reinforcements and provisions are already on the way. This time they should also understand the importance and not mess around like before."

Jin Han hummed, and imitated Wu Hai, lying on the ground and looking at the sky.

They sent an urgent request for help to Jingzhong before, but they didn't see the reinforcements until almost the end of February.

General Wu and the others were dumbfounded when they saw the reinforcements. Half of the imperial troops who came to make merit, how can they fight this battle? !

General Wu didn't even have the strength to complain when he found out that the grain and grass were delivered by water. They are now fighting a naval battle!Still sending food by water? !Do those people have water in their heads? !

The King of Nan'an and others were dumbfounded when they saw General Wu. According to their calculations, the current battle should be over soon?They just came here to earn credit, right?How could the war be so tragic?

Both sides had a lot to ask, but then Qianxiang Kingdom attacked again, and they urgently deployed their manpower to defend the city.

The battle ended very quickly, because more than half of the forbidden army ran back crying after seeing this scene. The morale of the army was shaken, and naturally they were defeated very quickly. Fortunately, Qianxiang Kingdom was afraid of so many reinforcements and did not continue to attack.

General Wu was so angry that he immediately tied up the escaped guards and ordered them to be dealt with under military law. Nan'an County King hurriedly stopped them. These were the treasures of those honorable families in Beijing, so they couldn't be moved easily.

The two argued for a day, and finally cut off the hair of those deserters. It was regarded as the head of the haircut. They were also allowed to live outside the camp without being responsible for protection.

The forbidden army wanted to make trouble, but seeing the undisguised killing intent in General Wu's eyes, they knew that the other party was serious, so they all retreated silently.

Only then did General Wu exchange news with the King of Nan'an County, and after the exchange was over, neither of them knew what to say.

The people in Jingli felt that General Wu was reliable, so there was no need to worry. General Wu felt that Jingli would pay attention to this matter, so he was not in a hurry to write the paperwork.

In the end, Nan'an County King couldn't help but said: "Since the war is so urgent, why did you only send one document?"

"I thought you would pay attention to it, and no matter how bad it is, you won't send so many people here." General Wu snorted coldly, "The war was horrific, and our previous camp was also destroyed, and the current camp was bought by nearby villagers. My own things are newly repaired, and I don’t even have much time to sleep on weekdays. I don’t have time to write letters, and let alone pens, inks, papers and inkstones here, there is no clean underwear! If you can find one that can write Believe me, count me as loser!"

"Send troops to report, but among our group, do you think anyone can rush back to Beijing? Now even the horses are gone! I also thought about the books from the surrounding counties..."

The king of Nan'an County stopped talking, and asked about Qianxiang Kingdom's attack, "What's the matter with their guns? Why do they look so powerful?"

General Wu sighed, "I know what you are suspecting. I thought our guns were leaked before, but after so many battles...their guns are much better than ours. They have a longer range and explode. The scope is wide, if it weren’t for this, we wouldn’t be in this situation.”

The king of Nan'an County was also silent, and General Wu said: "You didn't bring enough people this time, so hurry up and ask for help again."

The king of Nan'an County said: "Zhezi from nearby counties should have arrived in the capital."

General Wu's face darkened, "Didn't I also write an urgent document and send it to the capital?"

The king of Nan'an County stopped talking, and the two of them jointly wrote a document asking for help and sent it to the capital as soon as possible.

After that, Qianxiang Kingdom came to fight a few more times, and the king of Nan'an County took out the guns. In the past two months, General Wu understood the opponent's situation. After seeing the power of guns, he took all the guns. In the past, they were able to use those guns to catch them by surprise every time, and occasionally they could gain the upper hand, but generally speaking, they were still evenly matched.

Evenly matched did not make the situation on the battlefield better, on the contrary, it got worse. Now it is almost a life-to-life exchange. The waters by the sea are still red, and there are not enough manpower and time to salvage many corpses in the sea. The fish there But it grows fast.

After the food transported by the waterway was intercepted and destroyed by Qianxiang Kingdom, the army began to catch fish and eat it. Jin Han also refused to eat fish again because he once saw a human finger cut out of the belly of a fish.

Jin Han looked at the sky and said: "...I hope."

There has been no war for four or five days now, and both they and Qianxiang Kingdom know that when the next war starts, it will be a last-ditch effort with all their strength.

The guns brought from Beijing are gone, all they can do now is to prepare for defense as much as possible, and hold on until the reinforcements come.

Wu Hai turned to look at him, "Are you really not going to tell your father? Now if he sends you to the surrounding states and counties for shelter, no one will say anything. After all, you just came to the army for training, and Did not join the army."

Jin Han said: "Since I came here to practice in the army, how can I back down? And if I leave, the forbidden army will make trouble again."

In the past few years, Jin Han has also fought with water bandits, and he thought he was strong enough. He didn't realize how fragile he was until the cruelty of war was laid bare in front of him. How could the forbidden army be any better?

Those forbidden soldiers also knew that he did not officially join the army, but came from Beijing a few years ago, so they thought that Jin Han and them could be regarded as a group, so they came to look for him secretly, hoping that he could say something nice to the King of Nan'an , asked them to go to the nearby counties and counties to be on guard, but was finally dismissed by Jin Han, and reported to General Wu for strict supervision, so as not to be escaped by them.

Because of this, most of the imperial guards hated Jin Han, and stared at Jin Han on weekdays, wishing to find a wrong place to kill him.

What's more, his father might also want him to die in this war.

Wu Hai patted him on the shoulder, "Good brother! Sure enough, I saw you right! As soldiers, we never backed down! The king of Nan'an County will be proud of you if he knows about it!"

Jin Han: "...idiot."

Wu Hai: "...Don't think that now that your condition is not good, I won't dare to beat you up."

Jin Han: "...heh."

Wu Hai: "... Let me tell you, don't provoke me, brother, be careful that I will really beat you!"

The two didn't fight in the end. In the middle of the night, the familiar sound of artillery fire came again.
