You rascal, stop right there!

Chapter 247 I Promise to Marry You

How should this be done?

The battle flag on the city wall trembled.

The situation of defending the city is very good now, but there are these hostages who are a hindrance.

Ling Shumo's eyes turned sad. He didn't want to use this last method.

However, looking at the 100,000 troops under the city wall, those bloody invaders could only raise their hands reluctantly.

Murong Zheng suddenly saw his wife and children on the city wall. He stood up with an expression of disbelief in his eyes.

"Mu'er! This!"

The wife and children who were far away in General Murong Xuanli's mansion had actually been held hostage by the Dingzhou army?

Murong Mu was tied up and sobbed, "Daddy, save me!"

The woman next to him also cried: "General..."

Everyone looked up at the same time.

After all, Ling Shumo is usually gentle and talented. Who could have imagined that he would do such a thing as kidnapping someone's wife, and hiding it so completely.

"Since both sides have each other's hostages, why not exchange them? How about it?" Every word was sonorous and powerful.

It was raining so heavily that there were women and children getting wet in the rain and they couldn't stand it.

Murong Zheng gritted his teeth, raised his head and looked proudly at the people on the city wall without saying a word.

"Madam, Mu'er!" he called out, with some deep pain in his eyes.

He is fifty-two years old now. It was not easy for him to have a child, and he and his wife are deeply in love. How could they bear to watch him die in front of them?

So, Murong Zheng thought about it again and again and finally agreed.

Rain splashed and sand flew, and a horseman rushed out from behind the moat.

Both armies tied a man to a horse and stepped through the rain in the depression.

Ling Han and his wife were both pale and trembling all over. They lay prone on their horses and fainted.

The so-called Murong Mu and his mother were untied, and their horses were whipped at the scene of the hostage exchange, and they galloped back to the camp.

Ling Shumo quietly closed his eyes, looking at her with some reluctance -

"Sir, we are willing to sacrifice our lives to fight the enemy..."

"Sir, for the death of three hundred thousand men, we have no regrets."

……

finally.

The mother and son rushed into the army and came in front of Murong Zheng.

Blood flowed like a stream, spreading in the rain.

Just when Murong Zheng thought he could be reunited with his son and his wife, he was stabbed to death by a child and a woman, one after the other.

He regretted it only after he saw the face clearly.

"You are not..."

Hot blood gushed out from his heart and neck.

In an instant, Murong Zheng's eyes widened and blood flowed all over the ground, and he fell off the battle-watching carriage.

The person died instantly on the spot.

As soon as the commander of the Xuanli Army died, the army was in chaos and at a loss as to what to do.

Before they died, the woman and the young man lit the fire.

It turned out that when they entered the army, the tung oil in their clothes splashed onto the horses passing by.

The horses' tails were on fire and they began to run wildly. The cavalrymen were unable to stop the horses and the situation was in chaos.

To make matters worse, thousands of people suddenly appeared from nowhere in Xuanli's army, causing the camp to collapse, food and grass to be burned, and countless casualties.

Faced with this frightened bird without a commander, the Dingzhou army relentlessly pursued and intercepted this army, causing many Xuanli soldiers to flee with their weapons and armors abandoned.

On the city wall, Ling Shumo watched indifferently, frowning and concentrating while holding his breath.

As early as the day they received the threatening letter from the other party, Bai Wan and Ling Shumo had privately discussed these chess games and fights.

In this battle to defend the city where the outnumbered side defeated the larger force, an unconventional approach had to be taken.

This battle to defend the city lasted for five full days and ended in victory.

Big win 121st April.

Xuanli's army besieged Dingzhou City with 50,000 troops, but failed again.

The Dingzhou army built fortifications to resist the enemy and annihilated more than 10,000 people. The deadly soldiers rushed and annihilated the commander Murong Zheng.

A thousand foreign puppet troops dug a tunnel to the camp of Xuanli Army, annihilated more than ten thousand people, captured a thousand people, and seized a large amount of equipment.

In this way, the Dingzhou army won a great victory again and Xuanli was defeated.

All the soldiers in the Dingzhou Army were overjoyed, and they were so excited about successfully defending the city from invasion that they burst into tears and cried bitterly.

However, Ling Shumo immediately detained Jin Zhuo, the military officer in charge of household affairs, and sent a doctor to take care of his younger brother and sister-in-law.

He even sent doctors and servants to continue looking after Chen Xingyi.

It seems like he is so busy that he never has time to rest.

We have been working all night for several days. Obviously, these things can be handed over to others...

Obviously, this is the time for everyone to celebrate the successful defense of the city.

Bai Wan couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and dragged the man out even though he was exhausted.

Even though he was clearly not as strong as the other person, he still dragged the person to the corner of the room.

"Abai, what are you pulling me for?"

"I also need to arrange for the compensation of the soldiers who died in this battle, the storage of the seized equipment, and the household allowances for the registered soldiers..."

"Oh, by the way, we also need to appoint a new Sihu to join the army, interrogate the traitor Jin Zhuo, and..."

Suddenly, my chest felt hot.

Someone hugged him tightly with both hands, and the warmth from his chest passed through him.

this moment,

Ling Shumo suddenly lost his previous calmness and composure. He leaned his head against the neck of the person opposite him, feeling the warm warmth.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

He finally closed his eyes, hiding the pain in his eyes.

Bai Wan hugged the person opposite her and said, "I feel your sadness. Don't torture yourself..."

How could he not know what Ling Shumo was thinking at the moment? He knew everything.

Finally, Ling Shumo spoke and closed his eyes in pain.

"Do you think I'm despicable? I sacrificed the lives of a mother and her child to defend the city..."

Not only did the mother and son die in the battle, but they also ended up killing themselves and injuring the enemy by tying gunpowder and tung oil to their bodies, leaving no trace.

Bai Wan hugged him quietly and whispered to comfort him: "They asked for revenge."

Before this, I knew that Murong Zheng loved his wife and children.

They deliberately captured a Xuanli soldier, drew a portrait based on the description, and asked actors to imitate the voice.

The heavy rain was an advantage for Xuanli's army when attacking the city, but they were also unable to distinguish the real from the fake with their sharp eyes and ears.

This woman, who looked somewhat like his wife, had said that her husband had died at the hands of Xuanli's army, and she wanted to take revenge personally.

The young man also said he wanted to avenge his father...

However, Ling Shumo himself was not willing to do so unless he had no choice.

I'm afraid few people understand the pain of sending someone to die with their own hands...

"I know!"

Bai Wan's eyes were filled with infinite concern, and she used her body temperature to comfort this person, becoming this person's current support.

To defend the city...

Both of them had been working all night for several days in a row, thinking together about how to defend against the enemy, and they were exhausted.

Especially Bai Wan, whose physical condition is not as good as Ling Shumo's, and whose memory is also poor.

Now I am so exhausted and hurt that I feel powerless.

Because, the centurion in this battle to defend the city was Wang Sen.

That is Fatty Wang, he also died on the battlefield, his body was not found...

That night.

The two of them hugged each other and leaned against the corner.

I fell asleep in a daze...

Ling Shumo said, fortunately you are by my side and can face everything.

Bai Wan said, I can do anything, I’m so awesome!

When the two fell asleep, Ling Shumo only heard Bai Wan holding him and whispering in his ear:

"I promise to marry you. I will always be by your side and face everything with you."
