Chapter 164: My goodness, elephants are on the battlefield
Xiao Mochen gently hooked Su Yueqing's nose and said softly, "You've been traveling hard these days. Don't you want to rest for a few days and recuperate?"
He had heard about Qingqing's heroic deeds as she rushed all the way from the capital to the border.
She is worthy of being his beloved, as dazzling as the moon, and no less beautiful than him.
Su Yueqing shook her head and looked up at Xiao Mochen, "I will go with my husband today to take a look. I will not go to the battlefield, but just be a military advisor."
"Also, I'm a little curious whether Xiao Moyao has joined the Dongli army."
In the last battle in Jinling Valley, Xiao Moyao was seriously injured, suffered a lot of military losses, and was also seriously injured.
Su Yueqing didn't believe that he would just let it go.
The biggest possibility is that Xiao Moyao will go to Dongli and collude with Dongli to deal with them together.
When mentioning Xiao Moyao, a hint of helplessness and determination flashed in Xiao Mochen's eyes.
In the past, he had been somewhat considerate of the blood relationship and did not want to kill the other party.
But Xiao Moyao had evil ambitions. As soon as he left the city to provide support at the border, he began to rebel.
Fortunately, with Qingqing around, the emperor gradually grew up and made his own decisions, and he also had 100,000 soldiers and horses left behind to fight against them.
Now, Xiao Moyao has even betrayed Bei Ming and teamed up with Dong Li to start a war without any reason, causing great suffering to the people. He can no longer be allowed to stay.
"I guess he has already joined Dongli." Xiao Mochen said.
"Hmm?" Su Yueqing asked.
Xiao Mochen rubbed his brows, looking a little tired. "In today's battle, the opponent's tactics are very similar to Xiao Moyao's methods and style."
"Doesn't that guy Xiao Moyao know the prince's tactics very well?" Su Yueqing asked.
These two people have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, they should know each other very well.
Xiao Mochen nodded, "Yes, in yesterday's battle, the other side was clearly well prepared, and the way they fought was very different from the previous few days."
It was precisely because of this that they returned in the middle of the night after yesterday’s battle when both sides were in a stalemate.
"Your Highness, are you still asleep?" Qingyun outside the tent reminded again.
It's not that he is blind. The situation is urgent. The Dongli army is coming with great force and this time they have brought a large group of people with them. The situation is not optimistic.
Su Yueqing put her hand on Xiao Mochen's arm, used the force to stand up, and put on her clothes neatly.
Afterwards, Su Yueqing got out of bed, tidied her hair in front of the bronze mirror, and tied it into a high ponytail. She looked energetic and had a heroic temperament.
Xiao Mochen looked quietly at Su Yueqing in the mirror, his eyes full of doting.
After Su Yueqing finished packing, Xiao Mochen quickly put on his clothes, took Su Yueqing's hand and walked out of the tent.
"What? The Dongli army broke through the city gate?" Xiao Mochen asked.
Qingyun saw the sweet look of the prince and princess, and knew that he had ruined the mood, so he smiled politely and said, "No."
Xiao Mochen rolled his eyes at him. This guard was good in every way except that he was a little impatient and easily irritated.
"What happened?" Xiao Mochen asked again.
"It's an elephant. Dongli didn't ride a horse in this battle, he rode an elephant." Qingyun's tone was a little worried.
The elephants in Dongli are not ordinary elephants. Most of them have been trained and move in an orderly manner. Their lethality should not be underestimated.
"Elephant?" The last time Su Yueqing saw an elephant was when Jun Yuanxian came to Bei Ming to cause trouble and wanted to show his power.
Qingyun looked at Su Yueqing and said, "Yes, Princess, the elephants from Dongli are coming in droves and are rushing towards the city in a menacing manner."
"Hey, didn't Qingyang come back with the princess?"
Qingyun suddenly remembered that the prince asked Qingyang to support the princess. How come the princess has returned now, but Qingyang hasn’t come back yet?
"Qingyang should have had a fight with Dongli's group of deserters on the way." Su Yueqing said.
"what?"
Qingyun was confused and bewildered after hearing this.
"Hmm... How should I put it?" Su Yueqing thought about the wording, "Before the Qingyang reinforcements arrived, we drove away the Dongli army."
"Their escape route should be the same route Qingyang took."
"If we meet him halfway, then we can give Dongli another good beating."
Qingyun nodded after listening to it, and suddenly realized that she was worthy of being their princess, so amazing!
Bai Zhi and Bai Shao also came over at this time. Seeing Qing Yun's worthless look, they said, "You are such a country bumpkin who has never seen the world."
"Our princess is very capable!" Bai Shao also looked worthless, her princess was the best.
Qingyun, who was innocently caught in the crossfire: We are all country bumpkins, who is better looking?
A few people stayed for a while and started to rush towards the city gate to see what Dongli was going to do.
It was not yet dawn. Jiang Biechen, Jun Yuansheng and Mu Chi were all very tired and were still asleep.
Su Yueqing also knew that they had been working hard recently, so she didn't call them.
As for Ye Xingzhou, the beautiful master's wife and He Qianyan, they had just heard the news that the Dongli army was dispatched again, so they hurried to Xiao Mochen's tent, but they didn't see anyone.
"Master, the prince should have learned the news and arrived there before us." He Qianyan said.
Ye Xingzhou nodded. According to the prince's character, he was swift and decisive, and the time should have passed.
At this time, the three people had no idea that Su Yueqing had returned.
I came back late last night and got up early in the morning, so I didn't have the chance to hear the news.
"Master, let's pack up and go over there." He Qianyan said, "Dongli also used elephants in this attack, so it will surely be a fierce battle."
Ye Xingzhou looked at the beautiful master's wife beside him and said, "If you are tired, take a rest. We are at the city gate, so nothing will happen."
Bai Luo shook his head, "It's okay. Qingqing is not here. As her master's wife, I have to protect her husband."
After saying that, the beautiful mistress stared at Ye Xingzhou for a while. This face really became more and more charming as he got older. It was impossible to tell what kind of face he was.
"When Qingqing comes back, I'll ask her to help me chase my husband."
There was undisguised love in the beautiful master's wife's eyes, which made Ye Xingzhou's cheeks blush slightly.
He Qianyan, who was standing aside, turned his head silently and took a few steps back.
The Master's wife is still as straightforward as ever.
Ye Xingzhou coughed uncomfortably a few times, "Let's go to the city gate and see what the situation is."
"Okay." The beautiful mistress knew that the matter was urgent and stopped teasing Old Man Ye.
So, after Xiao Mochen and Su Yueqing rushed to the border city, Ye Xingzhou and his group also went there.
At this time, on the city gate, General Song was staring closely at the movements of the Dongli army in the distance, with a frown on his face.
Wherever the other party went, dust and smoke rose. As the other party got closer and closer, the ground vibrated slightly due to the elephant's huge size.
General Song sighed. He hadn't been to the battlefield for so many years, but he didn't expect that Dongli could already fight with elephants.
I’m afraid this battle will be difficult to fight.
On the way here, Su Yueqing was quite excited. She hadn't seen her grandfather for a long time and she missed him very much.
But besides being excited, I am also a little worried.
How should we fight this war with elephants on the battlefield?
