Chapter 87 Chapter 87(1/2)

Yicheng can only be regarded as a military fort today.

In other words, the population of soldiers in the city is greater than that of ordinary residents.

Because in the past six months, most men of the same age joined the army and became soldiers, and the remaining elderly, weak, women, and children settled down as ordinary urban residents.

The people of the Western Jin Dynasty came to attack the city. For the sake of the safety of the residents, Li asked them to temporarily move out of the city without leaving half a grain of food.

This news will be issued soon.

The whole city immediately started to mobilize nervously.

Needless to say, everything you can eat is taken away.

Those who really can't take it away are for example, those who have lost their mouths and clay pots that have been slowly found in the abandoned houses in the city after settling down, and those who have few legs sit on stools, and find places to hide or buried, without leaving any left.

The settlement they were about to go to was located in a mountain dozens of miles away from Yicheng. Last night, Li Mu took someone to search for it himself and finally found this place suitable for temporary residence.

This is a flat valley in a valley with flowing water nearby. The soldiers are already in the open space. According to the terrain, they built many simple sheds for people to sit on with cut branches and thatch.

Faced with the fierce 30,000 enemy troops, this temporary response plan was adapted to local conditions, making full use of the solidity and towering walls of Yicheng and the empty space in the city.

Li Mu is very confident in winning this battle.

But he knew even more that no matter how perfect any combat plan seemed, no matter how well prepared it was in advance, no one could guarantee victory before the results came out.

Neither can he.

This is certainly a clever and bold tactic.

Once successful, it will not only make Yicheng gain a foothold, but also greatly shocked his reputation and win the first victory in the strict sense after he became the governor of Yicheng. It will also solve the current problems of baggage and weapons.

The source of soldiers is not a big problem. The number of troops is increasing every day. He has a premonition that as long as he wins this battle, it will only increase faster in the future.

What is difficult is the source of baggage and weapons.

If this battle is won, the military's strength will be substantially improved.

But at the same time, being bold means a big risk.

Aju took the servants to pack up his things, Luo Shen changed into ordinary common clothes, came out of the gate of the governor's mansion, and saw Li Mu standing at the door, talking to Sun Fangzhi, next to him was a group of soldiers from the Liwu team.

The last one to stand was Gao Huan.

After not seeing him for a few days, Ah Brother seemed to be black again, dressed as an ordinary soldier. The temperament of the children of aristocratic families was gone on him. But the two gazes looked brighter than before. Seeing the Luo Shen, due to military discipline, he did not shout, but only smiled at her.

Sun Fangzhi patted his chest, as if he was assuring Li Mu. Hearing the movement behind him, he turned around and saw that Luo Shen came out. He immediately smiled and bowed, "Madam, please get on the carriage."

The God of Luo looked at Li Mu.

Li Mu walked over and said, "Ami, you can stay in Qiuchi for a few days first. I will pick you up after the matter is finished here."

Luo Shen was stunned and then understood.

I asked her to go to Qiuchi, of course because it was relatively safer there. Moreover, the conditions were better!

She glanced at the empty scene outside the gate of the governor's mansion.

The city people living nearby were dragging their children and carrying things with their children with their children, and their figures were in a hurry.

Her eyes fell back to his face.

"Governor Li, can you win this battle?"

She asked him, her voice clear and her tone was solemn.

Li Mu was stunned.

"It goes without saying that there will be no doubt of victory!"

Seeing that Li Mu had no reaction, Sun Fangzhi was anxious and rushed to answer for him.

Luo Shen turned to Sun Fangzhi: "Since that's the case, why should I go to Qiuchi? I want to stay and wait for the news of your victory with everyone."

It was Sun Fangzhi's turn to be stunned, hesitated for a while, and looked at Li Mu.

Li Mu stared at Luo Shen, and the dim light surged in his eyes. After a moment, he slowly said: "Okay, wait for me. After winning the battle, I will pick you up back to the city in person!"

Luo Shen smiled sweetly, turned to Aju and said, "Madam Ju, let's go to Ayu's house first and bring Ayu with him."

Gao Huan had barely joined the Liwu team before. Although he tried his best, his companions were outstanding. He was inevitably ranked inferior in various competitions and drills on weekdays. He was transferred here today, so he was going to escort his sister to Qiuchi to avoid the battle with these companions.

Standing at the end of the team, he watched his sister and his group leave. Seeing his boss Sun Fangzhi and his companions also looked at her back, his expression moved, and he couldn't help but feel proud. He thought that this was the style of my Gao family. He must work harder in the future and must not slander his brother-in-law and sister.

...

With the help of soldiers, the city residents moved cleanly in just one day. Four or five thousand people all left the city and settled in this valley where they temporarily lived.

After a lot of hardships, I came here. Not long after my stable life, I suddenly learned that the people of the Western Jin Dynasty were coming to attack the city, and they all had to leave the city and move to the mountains.

Although when Jiang Tao arranged for the relocation, he repeatedly emphasized to the people that the governor would definitely win this battle. Arrangement of them to move out was just to ensure their safety and would come back soon, but people were inevitably panic.

Until they saw that the governor's wife also showed up and went to the settlement with them, and did not leave them behind and go to other places to avoid the war as they had thought before, the city people finally believed Jiang Tao's words, breathed a sigh of relief, and their confidence came back, and they actively cooperated with everything.

When they arrived at the temporary site in the mountains, they settled down and gathered together to continue spinning threads with the spinning machine they had moved out. Those who did not have the spinning machine would weave straw sandals for the soldiers. The children were also organized into a greenhouse, and as before, they had to study for half a day.

The God of Luo lives in a broken wooden house left by hunters in the former mountain.

Jiang Tao asked someone to repair the wooden house and cleaned it up. She then left her feet and took Ayu and the sick blind girl.

When the blind girl was just rescued, her wounds were ulcerated. The deepest part was almost visible. She had a high fever like fire. She was dying and was at risk of death at any time.

Although the condition has finally improved a little in the past few days, the person still looks very weak.

Luo Shen felt great sympathy for the blind girl who had suffered a rough life. After arriving, thinking that the summer rains and rains in the mountains may not be able to completely block the wind and rain. For fear that she would get wet and rain, she specially arranged for her to live in her wooden house, set up a bed, let her sleep on her head, and asked someone to decoct her medicine and change her medicine and take proper care of her.

Fan Cheng led three hundred guards, so he naturally stayed here.

Li Mu arranged a portion of the soldiers to guard Fan Cheng, and the rest followed him to Yicheng to fight against the enemy.

After staying there, Luo Shen stopped sleeping in early every morning. He always got up on time and appeared in front of the city people with a smile on his face.

She knew that only when she saw her appear every day would everyone feel at ease and start a new day here.

When she asked for information about the war, she told the other party that everything was under the control of the governor, so that people could rest assured.

She comforted others so much that she also stabilized the hearts of these thousands of people, but in her own heart, she could not help but get rid of the secret uneasiness and worries.

Yesterday she had already received news that the 30,000 Xijin soldiers had already arrived in Yicheng the day before yesterday.

As soon as he arrived, the siege began.

One day, she was worried about anything else and was anxiously waiting for the follow-up of the war.

The follow-up news has not been heard.

It rained again in the evening. The shed beside the maid and maid lived in a bit leaky. In addition, the mosquitoes were so vicious at night that Luoshen simply asked everyone to enter the house and built a large shop, and everyone slept inside.

It was already late at night, the rain stopped, and the mountain moon slowly hung on the head of the forest.

Around the corner of the house, there was a scent of mosquito-repellent mugwort, and the floor was covered by the side, and all the sleeping people were already asleep.

Luo Shen couldn't sleep and lay on the temporary shop in the corner of the house. After tossing and turning for a long time, he slowly sat up, hugged his knees and looked at the moonlight outside the lattice. When he was in a daze, he suddenly heard a hoarse voice beside him and said in a low voice: "Governor Li will win this battle."

Luo Shen was stunned and turned around. Seeing that the blind girl sleeping near him had woken up. He probably heard the movement of her getting up and said something.

After so many days, the first time I heard her speak on her own initiative was a good thing she was trying to hear.

My mood finally got better. I whispered, "Did I wake you up?"

The blind girl shook her head and said softly: "I slept for a long time during the day and couldn't sleep anymore."

Luo Shen knew that her fever had subsided.

In the past few days, I have been concerned about the war and have been busy pacifying the city people. I did not pay attention to the injuries on her body, so I asked again: "How is your injury?"

"It's great. Thank you, Madam." The blind girl said in a hoarse voice.

Luo Shen took out the ointment left by the military doctor from a bag at the head of the bed.

"I have a bottle here. You can wipe your hands and feet by yourself. I'll give you some medicine on the back."

The blind girl stopped for a while, slowly turned around and lay on the floor.

Luo Shen lifted her clothes, revealing her back, which was so thin that she could almost see the shape of a rib. With the hazy moonlight penetrated into the pane, she picked medicine at her fingertips and gently applied it to her skin and applied it evenly on the wound.

"It seems that it has been much better. If you keep it for a few days, you should be cured."

"It's getting late, I'm going to bed. You can go to bed too. I'll ask Ayu to apply it to you tomorrow."

After taking the medicine, she put the remaining bottle in the blind girl's hands and lay back.

After she lay down, she no longer tossed and turned like she had just now.

Gradually, I fell asleep.

In my ears were her slight and even breathing sound.

In her breath, there seemed to be a faint fragrance of clothes in her sleeves.

The blind girl slowly opened her eyes.

The pair of purple eyes that were undistinguished by male and female were hidden in two deep and invisible eyes.

She stared at the curled-up slender woman's back, and after a long time, she slowly closed her eyes.

...

The next day, Luo Shen finally received a new battle report from Yi Cheng.

The soldiers of Xijin arrived and encountered Li Mu's army in the wilderness north of the city.

For 30,000 to 10,000, half of the 10,000, there were not even decent weapons, and the one in his hand was actually a wooden stick.

The arrogance of the Xijin side can be imagined and immediately launched a fierce attack.

Li Mu's army was almost defeated, retreated to the city, closed the city gate, and hung high a battle-free sign.

How could the soldiers of the West Jin give the other party a chance to breathe? Take advantage of the victory, set up a ladder, launch a rock, shoot an archery array, and continue to launch a fierce siege.

The defenders at the entrance of Yicheng City were soon lost and the city gate was broken.

Li Mu's soldiers were defeated and gave up their resistance. They divided into several strands and defeated the remaining city gates.
To be continued...
