Unparalleled Concubine

Chapter 527: Do it yourself!

Chapter 527 Do it yourself!

In the beginning, Li Xin was struggling in the capital. At that time, in order to stand out, he could only sharpen his head and dig into the officialdom, but Li Xin at that time planned for the future.

He knows very well that if he chooses to be a civil official, not to mention whether he will have the opportunity to ask Pingnan Houfu for an explanation in his life, at least there is no way to ask Li Shen for an explanation in person.

So at that time, he chose to join Yulinwei and became a military attache.

When he became a military officer, his hands would inevitably see blood. Li Xin was mentally prepared for this, but after Xiao Chen set his forty brothers dead, he still couldn't accept it.

Xiaochen Collection took place in the summer of the 18th year of Chengde.

And now, it is the end of the second year of Taikang, and more than two years have passed. Compared with the original Li Xin, Li Xin has no idea how much more determined his heart is. The young Marquis of Jing'an was a little unacceptable.

Too many people died.

In just half a day, half of the 5,000 troops under He Song were killed in battle. When the sun went down and Li Xin ordered the troops to withdraw, the city of Mianzhu was already scarlet!

Li Xin was on a high ground and used a telescope to witness the war.

Because there weren't many catapults, He Song's team could only charge hard with a ladder.

Both parties knew very well in their hearts that it was impossible for this first wave to rush to Mianzhu City, but it was not meaningless. As long as Li Xin was willing to die, his 40,000-strong team could attack again and again. a month.

If every day is an attack of this level, for at most half a month, as long as Jincheng does not send reinforcements, then Mianzhu should be attacked like this.

Throughout the ages, many generals siege cities have done this.

It stands to reason that Li Xin should not have any psychological obstacles in doing so.

But after all, he is not a native of this world, he is not a young man who grew up in the general door, and no one told him that he would not be merciful and not lead the army since he was a child.

His worldview is different from most people in this world.

As night fell, Li Xin sat alone in this place not far from Mianzhu City, dazed.

Until Zhao Jia, who was holding a torch, found him.

Zhao Youan didn't say much, just threw the torch aside and sat on the ground just like Li Xin.

He sighed.

"Master Hou, that's how fighting is. Uncle Ye attacked Jiange, and more people died."

"Jiange is much more difficult to fight than Mianzhu. Uncle Ye attacked for three days in one breath, and the forbidden army suffered nearly 10,000 casualties."

Li Xin was still sitting on the ground, ignoring him.

Zhao Jia forced a smile.

"Besides, Lord Hou also said that the Imperial Army is not the direct line of Lord Hou, but Yulinwei."

Seeing Li Xin ignoring him, Zhao Jia smiled bitterly: "And this is something that can't be helped. In wars, people are always going to die. We can't be trapped in Fucheng and do nothing, right?"

Li Xin, who had been in a daze, turned his head blankly, glanced at Zhao Jia, and then slowly exhaled.

"What if there was a way to not kill so many people?"

Zhao Jia was stunned.

"what?"

Li Xin repeated it.

"What if I said I had a way to take down Mianzhu without killing so many people?"

Li Xin stretched out a finger and said word by word, "Using my method, Mianzhu will be able to break through the city in one day at most. At that time, although we still have to face each other, we still have to fight head-on, and we still have to kill people."

"But it will never be like this, where one or two thousand people died, and even the city gate could not be touched."

The siege side is always the side that suffers, and it is the side that suffers a lot.

When you rush into the formation, you still have a shield to block you, but when you climb the tower, you are basically in a state of no defense, and you are a target for others.

Generally speaking, unless the enemy surrenders the city, the casualties of siege are very large.

This is also the direct reason why many generals ordered massacres to retaliate after breaking the city.

Like this battle in Mianzhu, it seemed tragic, but He Song's team barely touched the roots of Mianzhu's city wall, and there was no fatal threat to Mianzhu at all.

Zhao Jia stunned and said, "Does Marquis have an intern in Mianzhu City?"

Li Xin shook his head slightly.

"No, I would have used it long ago."

He slowly closed his eyes.

"Brother You An, if I had a way to open the city gate of Mianzhu directly to save the soldiers from these unnecessary casualties, but because of some selfishness, I hide it and don't use it, would you think I'm a villain."

Although Zhao Jia didn't understand what Li Xin could do, he still understood this sentence, and he slowly exhaled after hearing this.

"Master Hou, I grew up in Chen Guogong's mansion."

"Chen Guogong's mansion goes from top to bottom. Of course, Mr. Ye doesn't need to say much. Even those parts of the Guogong mansion and my uncles are all people who don't take human life as human life."

"If it was Old Master Ye, or Master Ye, or even Li Shen, Marquis of Pingnan, they would not frown in the face of this situation."

"Master Hou is a merciful person. If Master Hou really has any way to hide it, the subordinates also believe that Master Hou has more important uses."

"I know this, so I'm not like them."

Li Xin was expressionless.

"I may not be suitable for leading soldiers."

The Marquis of Jing'an stood up, looked at Mianzhu in the dark, and said with a low eyebrow, "How many people have we died in half a day, one thousand or two thousand?"

Zhao Jia lowered his head and said, "There are more than 1,400 wounded."

Saying that, Zhao Jia slowly lowered his head: "He Song and Captain He, also injured, the young master Ye Mao is clamoring to see you in the military camp, saying that his Zhechong mansion is attacking the city, why not call him? The subordinates did not bring him here because they were afraid that he would disturb the Marquis."

Li Xin snorted and did not speak.

He continued to look at the night in Mianzhu, and finally made a decision and slowly closed his eyes.

"Tell them to suspend the siege tomorrow."

"All wounded brothers in the army should use Zhu Rong wine to clean their wounds. If you need any medicine, ask Li Jie and the others for it, if they can't give it."

Having said that, the Lord of Jing'an looked a little grim.

"If you can't give it, let them go to Mianzhu!"

Zhao Jia gave a wry smile and lowered his head: "Master Hou, this subordinate knows that you are distressed, but we still have to cover Captain Mu from Hanzhou. We can't let those Nanshu survivors face Jincheng alone, right?"

"Don't worry, I'm more worried about them than you are."

The Marquis of Jing'an had already made a decision at this time, and he felt a lot more relaxed. He said decisively: "Pass the order of the general, the whole army rests, and is ready to attack at any time."

The light of the torches flickered, revealing the slightly youthful face of the Marquis of Jing An.

A wicked smile appeared on his face.

"We won't wait for Mu Ying and the others, we will take Mianzhu by ourselves!"

Zhao Jia was silent for a while, then lowered his head and said, "That subordinate, are you going to send orders?"

Li Xin nodded calmly.

"I haven't said empty words to anyone."

Zhao Jia nodded and turned away.

Li Xin added a sentence.

"Tell Ye Mao, let him take it with him honestly, and I'll send him back to his father immediately if he commits trouble again."

Zhao Jia stopped and said helplessly: "Master Hou, you should talk about it yourself. Except for you, we can't talk about Young Master."

Li Xin stood up and followed Zhao Jia with great strides.

"Then go back together."
