Chapter 427 Zhou Sheng Ru Gu 38
After changing Xie Chen's medicine and giving him some precautions, Ling Xi walked out of the tent.

Walking towards the training ground, even from a distance, Ling Xi could see Xie Yun riding his horse freely.

Just as I was about to go over there, a soldier came hurriedly over with a man in armor.

Ling Xi quickly called the soldiers in front and asked, "What happened?"

Without waiting for the soldier to answer, the person following him immediately knelt down in front of Ling Xi and said, "General, I am Yang Shao, the defender of Yongcheng. Yongcheng is under siege. Currently, there are only 2,000 soldiers guarding Yongcheng, but there are tens of thousands of civilians. Please send troops to rescue them."

Ling Xi was suddenly shocked when he heard Yang Shao's words.

She immediately shouted, "Senior Brother Xie Yun."

In just a few breaths, Xie Yun was in front of her.

"Ling Xi, what's wrong?"

Ling Xi looked at him and asked, "Brother Xie Yun, how many soldiers do you have? Yongcheng is under siege, you must lead troops to rescue it immediately."

Xie Yun's originally relaxed expression changed drastically, "I only have 5,000 soldiers under my command."

"Master and my brothers and sisters are not here today."

Ling Xi asked: "What about the other generals? Are they here?"

Xie Yun thought for a moment and suddenly said, "General Lin is still here, but he currently only has 3,000 soldiers under his command."

"enough."

Yang Shao hurriedly responded, "Generals, Yongcheng is in danger, and there are tens of thousands of civilians in the city. The situation is urgent."

Xie Yun said solemnly, "I will lead the troops there immediately. Ling Xi, go and inform Master."

Ling Xi looked at Xie Yun and said, "I'll go with you."

Xie Yun was shocked: "Are you kidding?"

Is he trying to kill himself by letting Ling Xi follow him to such a dangerous place?

Ling Xi pursed her lips and explained quickly: "Since those northern barbarian soldiers dared to besiege Yongcheng, it means they came prepared. The soldiers you and General Lin have alone may not be enough. I'll go, the medicine I made still has some effect."

"Hurry up and send the sentry to pass the message to Zhou Shengchen. Once he receives the letter, he will lead the troops to rescue us."

Ling Xi looked at Xie Yun in a daze and couldn't help but get angry: "Hurry up and leave, what are you standing here for?"

Xie Yun: "Okay, I'll have the soldiers prepare immediately."

Yang Shao looked at the two generals in front of him who were planning to send troops just because of a few words, and thought of the other princes who were trying to avoid him, and he couldn't help but feel grateful.

"General Yang Shao would like to thank the two generals on behalf of tens of thousands of people in Yongcheng."

Ling Xi helped him up: "General Yang, please stand up. The people of Yongcheng are also the people of Northern Chen. They are innocent lives. It is our duty as the Southern Chen Royal Army. There is no need to thank us."

Yang Shao listened to every word Ling Xi said, all of which were the duties a soldier should fulfill.

But in today's chaotic times, there are very few people who truly care about the people.

Xie Yun and General Lin's troops gathered quickly and were ready to set off in the blink of an eye.

Ling Xi took the medicine box and got on the horse.

This time, she didn't bring many medicines for treating injuries in her medicine box.

After all, those are not necessary for killing people.

The horses galloped all the way.

When Ling Xi arrived in Yongcheng, he saw that the once peaceful and tranquil Yongcheng was now in ruins.

But the strange thing is that there were no northern barbarian soldiers besieging the gate of Yongcheng.

"The Northern Barbarians actually retreated?" Yang Shao found it unbelievable.

General Gan, Xie Yun's deputy general in charge of escorting grain and fodder, escaped from Yongcheng.

When he saw Xie Yun and Ling Xi, he was surprised and asked, "Why are the general and the girl here? Hurry and get into the city."

Ling Xi and Xie Yun looked at each other and immediately rode into the city.

After getting off the horse, Xie Yun immediately asked: "General Gan, what's the situation?"

General Gan replied, "General, I have driven away the last wave of northern barbarians. They ran away as soon as we hit them. They were vulnerable. But the situation is not good now. Their reinforcements are already five miles away." Yang Shao asked hurriedly, "What about our governor? He has been leading us to fight against the northern barbarians for several days. Why can't we see him?"

General Gan's eyes flashed with sadness: "He died for the city."

Upon hearing this, Yang Shao didn't care about Ling Xi and Xie Yun beside him, and hurried into the city.

Xie Yun said: "General Gan, let's go to the city gate and take a look. I'm afraid the northern barbarians are coming again."

"Yes, General."

Ling Xi and Xie Yun climbed up the city wall of Yongcheng together.

Looking from a high place, Ling Xi could clearly see the traces of artillery bombing at the city gate.

Those northern barbarians actually know how to use cannons!
General Gan looked at the city defense and frowned: "This city defense is too poor."

"Ling Xi, look."

Xie Yun suddenly spoke, pointing his finger into the distance.

Ling Xi looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that not far from the gate of Yongzhou City, dense masses of Northern Barbarian soldiers were pressing in.

Looking at the estimated number, there are at least tens of thousands.

Xie Yun said worriedly: "Ling Xi, there are too many enemies and we may not be able to resist them."

They brought 8,000 people, plus the 2,000 soldiers in Yongcheng, which made only 10,000 people. The enemy had several times more people than them.

Ling Xi looked at the Northern Barbarians approaching Yongcheng and said seriously, "We have to resist even if we can't. If the city is breached, then the tens of thousands of people in the city behind us will have no way to survive."

The Northern Barbarians have always been brutal and ruthless. Wherever they passed, the earth was stained with blood and no grass grew.

If Yongcheng was captured today, the people in Yongcheng would probably be slaughtered by these northern barbarian soldiers.

Ling Xi turned to look at Yang Shao who was walking up, and asked: "General Yang, are there any catapults in the city? Do you have any strong liquor or kerosene?"

Yang Shao immediately understood Ling Xi's intention, "Miss, we have all these, strong liquor, kerosene, I'll have someone bring them up right away."

Ling Xi instructed: "Remember, you must be quick and move as much as you can."

"Yes." Yang Shao immediately ordered people to take action.

Xie Yun stood beside Ling Xi, watching these actions, and couldn't help but worry: "Is this really useful?"

Ling Xi was not sure: "Just injure as many as possible. At least it will be a loss to the enemy."

Fire attack is the most appropriate method for today's weather and wind direction.

Fortunately, God favored them, and the wind today allowed them to use fire attack.

Ling Xi put down the medicine box he was carrying, opened the box, and took out several large packages of things.

Xie Yun knew that Ling Xi was not only good at medicine, but also good at making poison. He opened the paper packages one by one and asked, "Ling Xi, what did you bring?"

Ling Xi said in a deep voice: "We have poison, drugs, chili powder, everything. I guarantee they will have a unique experience."

Listening to Ling Xi's malicious words, Xie Yun felt particularly relieved.

He had seen the power of Ling Xi's poisons.

I’m afraid that group of northern barbarian soldiers will have a hard time today.

As the Northern Barbarians approached step by step, both Xie Yun and Ling Xi looked solemn.

They all knew that today's battle would not be easy.

When the Northern Barbarians were more than a hundred meters away from the gate of Yongcheng, Ling Xi looked at Xie Yun and nodded to him.

Xie Yun raised his hand: "Get the catapult ready."

The catapult behind him was not loaded with stones, but jars of strong liquor and kerosene.

Xie Yun lowered his hand and shouted, "Release!"

The enemy also had catapults and used artillery.

Therefore, their catapults had to be launched in advance before the enemy's artillery fire.

The control of this time must be very accurate.
