Chapter 955

~~

At the same time, Boro was also looking at the battle report, and his eyes gradually became confident.

"Yes, the Regent is right. Wang Xiao is just coming from afar. The Rui army is still the Rui army, and the remnants are defeated. This time, the Qing Dynasty entered Shaanxi and defeated Tang Zhongyuan, making Tang Jie like a dog of a family. Could it be that if someone else commanded, the mud legs would become a strong army?"

~~

Baoxi Road, in the valley fifty miles south of Xieyuguan.

A Ruijun soldier named Xiao Baotian searched for a long time and found a stone, dipped the water in the mountain stream, and sharpened his knife.

He grinded for a while without saying a word, and a comrade came over and borrowed his whetstone. The two of them started to speak in a low voice.

"You said... Your Majesty has passed away, and the prince has not ascended the throne. What should we do in the future?"

Xiao Baotian glanced around and whispered: "We can't control these things... I just care about the promised matter. Can the food and salary we paid for us be like the personal soldiers, the old soldiers?"

"Didn't Your Highness agree? You'll divide the land and the house."

"Didn't the court have no money?" Xiao Baotian murmured in a low voice: "Those old soldiers are so beautiful. They used to rob a lot of money, but we who joined the army late had nothing, and they still owe me three months of food and salary..."

Another soldier glanced at him, as if he was despising his stupidity.

"What? What do you think I'm doing?"

"Do you really think the food and salary were taken out by His Highness the Crown Prince? The court has no money, and the prince-in-law from the east has enough money... Haven't you heard what those Chu soldiers said when they made the meal last time?"

Speaking of the last time he cooked rice, Xiao Baotian's saliva flowed down and murmured: "That rice is so delicious."

"Prosperity... Chu Bing said that after eating the food he brought, he could only eat something that was not good, tsk."

"You said, those of them have meat every time?"

"Go." Another soldier raised his hand and pointed to the distance and whispered: "Did that man see it? It's the soldier of General Zhuang. I'm having a good chat with him. Do you know what kind of life he lives?"

Xiao Baotian asked: "What's it like?"

"He has 60 acres of land in his family, and he doesn't plant it himself, so he hires people to farm. His monthly salary is this number..."

Xiao Baotian looked at the four fingers shaking in front of his eyes, widened his eyes, and said in surprise: "So many?"

"I won't say that. They are also marrying their wives, chastity, and stuttering their families when they are sick..."

"real?"

Xiao Baotian looked at the Chu Bing again and felt that the other party didn't look very fierce and could beat him, so why was he treated so well?

He couldn't help but murmured: "I'm so good. I'll get something when I fight, oh, oh, oh."

Another soldier hit him with his shoulder and said, "What are you envious? The prince said everything, fight back to Xi'an and give us the same treatment as them."

"Aren't I afraid that the prince will lie to me? I have no idea..."

"Don't you understand what the prince lied to you? I'm afraid he will accept his fate. He will fight back to Xi'an and avenge His Majesty. What else will he fight for in this world..."

Having said this, Xiao Baotian suddenly became a little sad, with a sadness and longing.

After a while, another soldier came over, without saying a word, took their whetstone and walked to the side and groaned.

"Hey, this kid..."

Xiao Baotian pulled his comrades and whispered: "Don't go, that's Xiao Shuan from Huwei Camp. He is from Huayin. Is it true that his family was slaughtered?"

"Oh, my family is in Lintao, I don't know what's going on..."

When Xiao Baotian fell asleep that night, he plunged the sharpened knife under his head and thought of a lot in his mind.

Sometimes when I think of my family in Yan'an Prefecture, I feel full of worry, and sometimes when I think of the food and salary that one day I can get like Chu Jun, I will make a fortune.

As I thought about it, the words that the general had said before departure echoed in my mind again.

He didn't remember much, but some words were deeply imprinted in his mind.

——Catch back and protect your hometown.

When Xiao Baotian woke up the next day, he walked into the team and stood there.

Today they were no longer asked to remain hidden, and the sound of war drums rang out...

"Brothers, go back to Xi'an!"

"Return to Xi'an!"

Xiao Baotian shouted, and rushed up to the other side of the canyon with a knife.

Running all the way, he heard a loud "boom".

That was the Chu army throwing grenades again.

Now they don’t have many grenades left, but the power of this thing still makes Xiao Baotian very excited.

Even if only the small amount of firepower left by the Chu army as support gave him great confidence...

"Kill!"

Xiao Baotian held his single sword tightly and ran towards Xieyuguan. He knew that no matter how high the Guancheng in front of him was, he would not plan to retreat at all...

~~

"boom!"

Another grenade sound, and a Chu army shouted to Zhuang Xiaoyun: "General! The grenade is used up!"

"Cooperate with the siege! There will be advances and no retreats in this battle!"

Zhuang Xiaoyun shouted loudly and ran towards the ladder himself...

There were much more Qing troops stationed in Xieyuguan than he thought.

But there is no way, this Guancheng must be defeated, which is related to the victory or defeat of the battle in Guanzhong.

The war lasted for nearly a whole day, and Xieyuguan had not been captured yet.

Zhuang Xiaoyun could still hear the Qing soldiers on Guancheng shouting, "I will hold on today, reinforcements will come soon."

He realized that there might be something wrong with the other two troops. He could not conquer Xieyuguan today, and he might not be able to defeat him again.

"All Chu troops, follow me to Guancheng!"

Zhuang Xiaoyun bit the knife in his mouth, carried a musket and climbed upwards to the ladder.

The Chu army was standing below and fired the Qing soldiers who were rising from time to time with muskets. Seeing that the chief generals had come up, they followed them up the ladder.

Zhuang Xiaoyun climbed on the city wall and jumped to the top of the city.

Then, he was stunned for a moment, and saw a row of Qing soldiers in front of him holding bird guns facing him.

He quickly rolled on the spot, took off the knife biting in his mouth and cut off the soldier's legs, picked up the musket and fired two shots, trying to stabilize the front...

However, there were too many Qing troops on the top of the city. After a while of fighting, another group of Qing soldiers rushed over with spears.

Zhuang Xiaoyun looked up at the sky and felt a little discouraged.

The next moment, I suddenly heard a shout of killing coming from the front.

He was stunned and stared at him, and saw Ruijun climbing up to the top of the city from opposite Guancheng!

He also heard a vague shout from a woman.

"Kill..."

~~

An hour later, Zhuang Xiaoyun sat on the bloody Guancheng and gasped. When he saw Ai Shengnan kicking a Qing soldier down from Guancheng.

"Hey, why are you here?"

"Your Highness Seventh asked me to support you, can't you?"

Zhuang Xiaoyun said: "I'm asking you, where did you come from?"

"Don't you know that there is a small road from Chencang Road that leads to Taibai County and then to the back of Xieyuguan?"

"I have no idea."

Ai Shengnan sneered and said proudly: "You have been with Wang Xiao for so long. Do you know if he likes to keep more hands on war?"

Zhuang Xiaoyun was speechless.

——What are you proud of? My Jing'an Wang is very scheming, does it have anything to do with you...
