After hearing the news, General Lu Jiang rushed over with his troops. He was also worried that if the North City Gate was lost, Runzhou would be doomed, so he couldn't worry about his Du Yuhou, leaving his deputy general to guard the city. Lu Jiang personally led his troops here.

, and brought more than 3,000 people with him.

However, when he arrived, he found that the fighting here was over.

The torches are brightly lit here, and many Tang soldiers are taking care of the battlefield and consolidating the river defense line. There are thousands of corpses scattered on the ground, which shows the fierceness of the battle.

Lu Jiang swept across the battlefield and saw Su Chen's figure. She already understood that it seemed that Su Chen had led people to quell the turmoil here.

"Su Jianjun, are you the one who led the troops here to destroy the Wuyue traitors?"

Su Chen came over, clasped his fists in greeting, and replied: "I'm so worried! I happened to feel uneasy, so I sent Du Yuhou Jinghong to lead people to patrol the river, and found out that Wu Yue soldiers sent dead soldiers into the city to attack the city. Fortunately, I found it in time.

It was stopped before it caused a big disaster.

Lu Jiang nodded and said in surprise: "I see. Fortunately, you had expected it, sent people to check in time, and led troops to intercept and suppress them. If these Wu and Yue sailors were allowed to enter the city from the river, the consequences would be disastrous. I'm afraid there will be a big disaster tonight."

Disaster is coming."

As he spoke, he wiped his sweat and felt hopeful. On the way here, he kept galloping on his horse, and his heart was already half cold. He felt that the situation might be bad, and he was ready to fight to the death.

When I got here, I found that the crisis had been resolved, and I was very emotional and excited.

At this time, Lu Jiang felt more and more that it was reliable to have Su Chen by her side. Otherwise, it might not be clear how the city was destroyed.

"Jiang Jun, you have made another great contribution this time. I will definitely write this down and report it to the court to ask for your credit."

Su Chen shook his head and said: "You don't have to be so polite. When it comes to military achievements, everyone has a share. It is the credit of all of us to respond in time, share the same hatred of the enemy, and defend Runzhou."

Lu Jiang nodded, knowing that Su Chen didn't care so much about credit, and wanted to share the credit with everyone. This kind of magnanimity, even if he was over 60 years old, was awe-inspiring in his heart.

"General Lu, next, how to prevent canal waterways is the key point!"

Lu Jiang looked at the canal and the location of the gap in the gate wall, and said: "Next, we will add a few more Qianjin Gates and fortify them layer by layer, so that Wu Yuejun will not succeed again."

Su Chen nodded, thinking that since the Wu Yue soldiers had already used this tactic once, I'm afraid they wouldn't use the river to make a surprise attack next time. But are there any other weak points in the defense of Runzhou City?

The two exchanged pleasantries for a few words, and then returned to the original city gate and guard. At this time, Song Chengli and Ding Deyu outside the city seemed to have learned the news of the failed sneak attack. Jin Luo sent troops and stopped fighting.

When the Wu and Yue troops withdrew, mountains of bones and blood flowed into rivers under Runzhou City, causing huge casualties.

"Hurry up and save people!" someone shouted.

The wounded were constantly being picked out from the pile of corpses and carried on stretchers to the wounded barracks.

Because the Tang Army's wounded barracks used the latest sore medicines, anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics, etc., the injured soldiers' pain was reduced after taking them, the wounds stopped bleeding faster, and the number of military doctors increased a lot.

, so the injured soldiers were brought over and bandaged and treated in an orderly manner to reduce secondary injuries to the wounded and delays in treatment.

In this regard, the treatment of the Tang army had a huge advantage over the Wu Yue soldiers outside the city. It is roughly estimated that the number of Wu Yue soldiers who died of injuries and illnesses would be twice as many as that of the Tang army.

It was already past midnight, and the night was dark without any starlight.

Su Chen returned to the mansion with Peng Jingjing. After taking a bath and changing clothes, he felt exhausted and wanted to fall asleep.

After Peng Jingjing washed up, she did not go back to her room, but stayed in Su Chen's room.

"Brother Chen, let me sleep with you tonight."

Su Chen was a little surprised and said with a smile: "Why, I figured it out. We haven't gotten married yet, and I can't wait any longer."

Peng Jingjing's cheeks turned red and she said angrily: "Whatever you think about is not what you think. Except for that, you can do the rest. Anyway, we went out before, and we often share the same bed."

Su Chen understood that although Peng Qingqing, the daughter of the prefect, was good at martial arts and brave, she was still an ancient woman, and she still cared about the ritual of going to the church to get married on the wedding night.

Now that the two are not really married, Peng Jingjing has not thought about handing over her body just like this, but it is still acceptable to sleep with her clothes on, cuddle and kiss each other, and take advantage of her first.

After all, girls sometimes pay more attention to enjoying the atmosphere rather than actual fighting.

The romantic atmosphere and ambiguous feelings are often enough to make girls addicted and intoxicated.

Su Chen nodded in agreement. He couldn't beat her before, so he didn't dare to do evil things to her in bed. He was a bully, but now, it's more out of respect. She will be his beloved wife sooner or later anyway.

There is no rush for this day, and after all, Peng Jingjing is just seventeen, a young girl in the flowering and rainy seasons.

Su Chen feels that after two or three years of growth, his body will be just right.

So the two women walked to the bed hand in hand, turned out the lights, and lay down next to each other on the bed.

Peng Jingjing nestled in Su Chen's arms and said leisurely: "It would be great if there was no war, so so many people wouldn't have to die."

She sighed softly, although Peng Jingjing liked to wield swords and guns very much, and she once dreamed of wielding swords to the end of the world and killing enemies in battle, but the peaceful years and calm days seemed to make life more interesting.

Now I am so worried all day long, worried about the city being destroyed, that I don't even dare to take off my clothes to sleep, because I have to dress for battle at any time, to deal with emergencies, etc., so I feel too unfree.

Moreover, when killing the enemy, each sword pierced the enemy's throat and body, spurting out blood and making Peng Qingqing gradually numb, but this did not mean that her heart was cold.

She knew that the people she killed were all from Yuhang in the south of the Yangtze River. Those soldiers and men were the husbands, sons, and fathers of the family. She killed many of them.

To the people of Wuyue, how could she, Peng Jingjing, not be a female devil?

Peng Qingqing sighed: "We are all from Jiangnan, why are we killing like this? If we look back from the history books, they are all people from Chu and Wu, and they should all belong to the same country and dynasty. But now it is people from Jiangdong who are fighting in their own country.

Does it really make sense to kill each other?"

Su Chen reached out and touched her shoulder, patted her twice, and explained: "Things in the world, especially political interests, are difficult for ordinary people to measure. We were born in this era and became the people and officials of this court.

They always move forward involuntarily. In order to protect the people of Runzhou in their hometown, they are forced to pick up the sword and kill the invaders. If Jiangdong can be unified one day, maybe the people of Jiangdong will no longer have to kill each other."

Peng Qingqing felt that what Su Chen said made sense and liked to hear what he said. At this moment, she felt that her man was erudite, knowledgeable, and full of wisdom. She couldn't help but put her red lips together and kiss his handsome face.
