It is very likely that they heard that these people were their own guards and would not let them charge into the battle. This was not what he wanted to see.
He also warned Xiao Yi and others.
"As you command!"
After everyone left, Hu Yunqing took Zhao Shuangshuang to his tent.
"Why is it so cold here?"
After entering the tent, Zhao Shuangshuang felt that the temperature inside the tent was almost the same as outside.
"That's how it is here. I'm not here during the day. We all talk in the big tent. There's my stove there, and there are a lot of people there. It's also very warm."
Seeing that Zhao Shuangshuang was very cold, Hu Yunqing quickly lit the fire to increase the temperature in the tent.
"How long will this war last?"
Zhao Shuangshuang, who was sitting, raised his head and looked at Hu Yunqing opposite and asked.
"I don't know. This time we will not stop building slaves until we achieve our goal."
After hearing Zhao Shuangshuang's words, Hu Yunqing also shook his head in confusion.
"After this fight is over, let's leave here."
Zhao Shuangshuang was tired of this kind of fighting and killing, and the familiar people left one by one. Such parting emotions enveloped her heart almost every day.
"Actually, I have wanted to leave for a long time. If the big ship had not been destroyed this time, we should be on the sea now, singing songs in the sea breeze."
Hu Yunqing didn't think so, but reality defeated him time and time again. Don't let him leave here.
"Has the ship been built before you came?"
"It's almost there. There are five large ships in total, and they are all half completed. They should be able to enter the sea by the beginning of next spring."
Early the next morning.
"Your Majesty, the slave-building army outside has begun to gather outside the city again. General Yuan and the others want you to come over to discuss countermeasures."
Juan came to the outside of the tent and knew that the prince and princess were inside. He could only cough and said inside.
"Okay, I'll come right now."
"I am coming too."
Hu Yunqing, who was in the tent, quickly stood up and put on his armor without saying a word.
Zhao Shuangshuang also put on the smaller armor and followed Hu Yunqing out.
"See the prince, see the princess."
Seeing the princess walking out in armor, Juan quickly saluted.
"My lord, this time I will create a slave."
Yuan Chonghuan and others were in the tent and saw Hu Yunqing coming, and wanted to report to him anxiously.
When they saw the person walking in behind them, everyone was stunned, not understanding that there was a woman behind the prince.
"Is this the Shuangshuang girl?"
Previously, Yuan Chonghuan knew Zhao Shuangshuang's name when he was in the capital, and he quickly walked up to Hu Yunqing with a smile and asked.
"She is my wife now."
Hu Yunqing took Zhao Shuangshuang into his arms and introduced everyone with a smile.
"See Princess!"
"See Princess!"
When Yuan Chonghuan heard that it was the prince's wife, Princess Zhenbei, he quickly raised his hands and saluted, and other generals also saluted.
"Come here! It's too dangerous here. Send the princess to the city quickly and send people to protect her day and night."
"No need, I came here also to fight against the slave establishment."
After hearing what Zhao Shuangshuang said, Yuan Chonghuan couldn't say anything else. He could only look at Hu Yunqing to see what the prince meant.
"Even if she is my wife, I will not let her stay behind. As a member of the Ming Dynasty, how can I live in the back?"
"Your Majesty is righteous!"
"Tell me about the situation?"
Hu Yunqing didn't want to talk about useless things, so he came to the sand table and said to Yuan Chonghuan.
Zhao Shuangshuang also stepped forward. His father was also from the Ministry of War and knew some tactics.
Woohoo~
"Jiannu has begun to attack the city!"
This time, the city wall was prepared in advance. Listening to the sound of horns coming from the city wall, there was not much worry.
"How many more shells do we have?"
Hu Yunqing looked at the grain officer and asked.
In addition to beating people, this war also involves food, grass and artillery shells. If all the artillery shells are used up, it will be impossible to contain the other side.
Cannonballs can frighten the opponent's horses, disrupt their formation, and prevent them from attacking intensively.
"I checked carefully. There were originally enough cannonballs in the warehouse, but for some reason some of them got damp and lost their power."
When the grain officer heard that the prince asked him, he stood up tremblingly and explained the situation on his side.
"What? Why didn't you report such a big thing earlier!"
Yuan Chonghuan heard that the cannonballs were damp. If there were no cannonballs, their people would only be in greater difficulty. He walked up to the forage officer angrily, grabbed the latter's collar and asked.
"I don't know either! When we said there was a truce, I had people move the shells into the warehouse. I didn't expect that less than two months later, fighting would start again."
After listening to the grain and grass officer's words, everyone looked at Hu Yunqing who was on the throne.
The previous truce was brought about by the prince. Logically speaking, the grain officer cannot be entirely blamed.
"How much more can we use now?"
Yuan Chonghuan let go of the grain and grass officer and asked him.
"If we consume twice as much as we did last night, we can still use it for five days."
The grain and grass officer was also anxiously thinking of ways to calculate the results early.
"You! Humph!"
If he hadn't known that this grain and grass manager would not be corrupt, Yuan Chonghuan would have killed him long ago.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. Hurry up and let the idle soldiers make arrow clusters. Without the cannonballs, if you can use bows and arrows to stop the opponent, it will be fine."
There are no more cannonballs, and it is impossible to get them at this time, so people can only rush to make arrow clusters.
"As you command!"
"Report! In the direction of the city wall of the West City, the Zhenghuang Banner offensive is very fierce. We are asking for reinforcements over there."
"Report, in the direction of the east city wall, Zhengbai Banner has attacked the city wall several times, and guard Wang Hanzhong died in the battle!"
Following the report from the two soldiers, the atmosphere in the entire tent became very depressing.
"Wang Bao, you take a thousand people and go to support the east side quickly. Juan, you take five hundred people and go to the west side to have a look!"
After hearing the bad news, Hu Yunqing had no time to grieve and quickly issued orders to others.
The battle lasted until night, and Jiannu's army also needed to rest, so they withdrew one after another.
"Your Majesty, you have fulfilled your mission!"
Juan was the first to enter the big tent covered in blood. As soon as he entered, he knelt on the ground and said.
"Quick, get up, you worked hard."
Seeing that Juan's arm was still injured, he quickly helped him up and said.
"Doctor, come here quickly."
Yuan Chonghuan also called the doctor anxiously, but Juan's arm was still bleeding.
"My lord, if we continue to fight like this, we may not be able to hold on. Hurry up and find reinforcements. Today, 20% of the casualties in the west will be casualties."
Juan quickly told him about the situation there. After Juan finished speaking, all the generals looked solemn.
If this continues, Shanhaiguan will not be able to hold on at all. The offensive on the first day was so difficult to hold, and it will only become more and more fierce in the future.
