After a night of chaotic fighting, Shengjing City finally calmed down. The snowflakes were getting thicker and thicker, and they had already drowned everyone's knees.
Chu Feng took off his shawl, shook off the snow, and came down from the city gate.
Damn it!
Her feet were about to freeze off. This son of a b * tch weather was really not suitable for humans.
In just a moment, the blood on Huo Qubing's body had almost frozen into ice shards. He grinned at Chu Feng with his white teeth.
"My Lord!"
Qi Jiguang and Zhao Yun rushed over.
A group of people huddled together in the cold night.
"Good job!"
Chu Feng patted Huo Qubing's shoulder."Inform the Cooks 'Army to start a fire overnight. We must give the soldiers who have returned from the bloody battle a hot meal to warm their bodies.”
"Understood!"
The vice-general at the side burst into laughter.
"In addition, the soldiers who died in battle must be properly buried.”
As he spoke, Chu Feng looked up at the night sky."After this battle, the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty will not attack the city for a short period of time. Everyone, take a good rest.”
"King, there's one more thing."
Qi Jiguang nodded slightly and said,"When the war stopped, I heard rumors in the Qing army that reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty had arrived."”
"Oh?"
This made Chu Feng somewhat surprised,"Why haven't the scouts reported?"”
" When the Qing army surrounded the city, our scouts were most likely stopped…" Zhao Yun replied.
"Forget it, all of you can rest for now. Tell the guards at the city gate that if the Ming army really comes, they will only receive them after daybreak.”
Chu Feng was tired.
That son of a b * tch Yuan Chonghuan only arrived now?
He did not believe it.
It was obvious that he was playing a trick. According to Yuan Chonghuan's character, he definitely wanted him to fight with the Manchu wild boar skin. When both sides were injured, he would sit back and reap the benefits.
After dispersing Huo Qubing, Zhao Yun, and Qi Jiguang, Chu Feng headed straight for the palace.
From the afternoon onwards, he had been supervising the battle at the city gate for more than ten hours. He was really tired.
His ox-leather boots stepped on the thick snow and creaked all the way into the palace.
It was late at night, and both inside and outside the city were silent. Other than the soldiers lining the streets, there was no one else.
A few palaces were still faintly flickering with pine oil lamps. Occasionally, there would be some faint voices of conversation coming from inside.
Inside the bedroom.
The charcoal in the furnace had been changed three times, but there was still not much heat in the hall.
Big Yu 'er was curled up in a corner with a blanket wrapped around her body. She stared at the outside of the hall with her big, black eyes.
"Big Yuer…"
As he pondered, Borzigutzhe suddenly raised his head."Listen, has the battle outside the city stopped?”
"It's normal for it to stop."
Da Yu 'er said without blinking,""The soldiers have long been tired after coming from thousands of miles away. If Shengjing City cannot be taken for a long time, the longer it drags on, the more casualties there will be.”
"So…the Great Khan can't save us today?”
Borzizhezhe was terrified." Big Yu 'er, I don't want that Han to touch my body ever again. I…I think of that damned Han, on…on my body…Ah…Yu' er, I'm going crazy.”
"Sister, although we used to be the Great Khan's women, do you think that even if the Great Khan wins, he will still want us?”
Big Yuer was surprisingly calm and collected, so calm that Borzigutt and Zhezhe were even more terrified.
"Yu…Yu 'Er, what do you mean?”
"Sister, don't think about it."
Big Yuer curled her lips in a self-deprecating manner."Who is the Great Khan? He wanted to question the god of the Central Plains who ruled the Nine States. How could he allow his woman to be touched by others? Moreover, she was a Han.”
"Then…then…then what should we do?”
"Sister, do you still want to live?"
Big Yu 'er moved closer to Borzigutzhe.""I've been observing for the past two days. This Han doesn't seem to be from the Ming court.”
"Not Emperor Chongzhen's?"
Borzigutt and Zhezhe had an adorable look on their faces.
"Doesn't seem like it."
"Their armor and clothes don't look like those of the Ming Dynasty, especially that Han leader."”
"Then Yu 'Er, you mean..."
"Elder Sister, just stay here. We can't go back to the Great Khan's side. You and I only have two paths. Either we die to atone for our sins, or…we live well and show the backbone of us prairie women.”
At the end of her speech, a hint of determination appeared in Da Yu 'er's eyes.
However, Borzigutt and Zhezhe were at a loss about this tenacity.
…………
The hour gradually approached the fifth watch.
The signs of dawn were completely forced back by the cold winter weather. The endless white snow covered the vast outside of the pass.
The flag with the word 'Great Ming' hung on it, and tens of thousands of soldiers marched forward at a moderate pace.
The one leading was Yuan Chonghuan.
He was in his forties and his face was full of wrinkles. As he walked through the snow, his face was already covered in frostbite.
"Overseer, Shengjing City is in front of us.”
Zu Dashou, who was standing beside him, had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a murderous aura. He looked like a burly man with a curly beard. His thick lips moved as he said,"I heard from the scouts that the rebels of Houjin have fled to Mongolia in anger. Shengjing City is no longer in danger.”
"Is there any news from the messenger who went to Shengjing City yesterday?”
Yuan Chonghuan shook off the snow on his armor and said gloomily.
"No, I haven't."
General Man Gui shook his head and said,"No news at all."
"Phew…"
Hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan slowly reined in his horse's reins.""In that case, either the messenger soldier was killed by the Qing soldiers, or…the commander-in-chief of Shengjing City does not intend to befriend us.”
"Who is this person?"
Zu Dashou stroked his beard and looked confused.""The Han generals inside and outside the pass are all from the Ming army.”
"To be able to take down Shengjing City in just one day and resist Huang Taiji's Eight Banners Army, this person is definitely not ordinary.”
Yuan Chonghuan praised, but his eyes became extremely vigilant."Forget it. Since we have been ordered to come, if we don't find out the truth, I'm afraid it will be difficult to report to the emperor.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Chonghuan turned around and shouted,"Men, hurry to Shengjing City and report to the city's garrison that the reinforcements of the Great Ming Dynasty have arrived. Order them to open the door to welcome them.”
"Understood."
A messenger responded and rode away.
No matter how he tried to figure it out, he still had to do what he had to do.
"Overseer, I think we should be vigilant…"
Zu Dashou said uneasily," This person has a large number of troops in his hands, and he's standing outside the pass. I'm afraid…he's going to fight us."”
"That won't happen."
Yuan Chonghuan smiled indifferently and shook his head."Since you're here, let's take it as it is.”
