Chapter 224: Little guy, start calling me princess again?
In the north of Mo City, Yao Ye, wearing military uniform and with his long hair tied into a ponytail, walked on a horse trail full of cracks and potholes under the leadership of Nalan Su, counting the city's defense equipment one by one.
After several days of fighting, the soldiers defending the city were already exhausted. However, they still forced themselves to overcome their fatigue, gathered on the top of the city wall, and busily repaired the broken city walls.
There are dangerous peaks to the south of Mocheng, the terrain is extremely high, and the city walls are also taller than those of ordinary county towns.
To the west is the interior of the Gama Empire, where neighboring cities can provide reinforcements at any time. Therefore, the most difficult to defend are the north and the east.
Yao Ye looked at the soldiers, more than half of whom had been killed or wounded, and frowned tightly.
Now, both manpower and supplies have been exhausted in Mocheng. Fortunately, the local Mocheng Mercenary Group in Mocheng temporarily called for donations and raised some supplies for the defenders of the Gama Empire, including food, muskets, cannons, etc.
We had another fierce battle this afternoon. The Snake People got some artillery from somewhere and started a direct bombardment against the artillery of the Gama Empire.
Both sides suffered casualties. After the enemy retreated, Yao Ye immediately ordered the soldiers defending the city to maintain the broken city walls.
At this moment, Yao Ye suddenly heard deafening cheers coming from the top of the city wall next to him.
It was noisy.
The soldiers on the city wall also looked over there.
Some of them ran out of the tent, some pulled the reins of their horses, and some stopped what they were doing, turning their heads and looking over there.
Yao Ye finally heard the name these people were cheering for, "Chen Fenggu!"
Chen Fenggu still enjoys a very high prestige in the hearts of the soldiers of the Jia Ma Empire.
Especially after the fall of the Mu family, most of the soldiers now were often oppressed by the Mu family faction, so they naturally respected Gu Fengchen. The main reason was that Gu Fengchen's record of killing the Dou Wang was too dazzling, which led to the current Gu Fengchen, for the soldiers of the Jia Ma Empire, being a shot in the arm, the backbone, and the guiding light for them to no longer be confused. The addition of a powerful fighting force was decisive for the battlefield.
Yao Ye didn't have to wait long before Gu Fengchen arrived.
"Princess, why are you here?"
To be honest, Gu Fengchen was a little surprised to see Princess Yaoye at the border.
At this time, Yao Ye had taken off the light armor on her body and changed into a light-colored Cui Yan shirt, and a decent green grass pleated skirt embroidered with white scattered flowers and wisps of water mist. Her long hair fell over her shoulders like a waterfall, and her pretty face, the size of a melon seed, was as white as solidified fat.
A beauty, a real beauty.
Gu Fengchen and Yao Ye looked at each other. The other person's eyes were very special. They were not as gentle and lively as those of an ordinary woman. Instead, they were like a deep pool. Looking closely, they were full of auras and there was a faint aura of a superior.
“Little guy, I haven’t seen you for a few days, and you start calling me the princess again?” Yao Ye raised her eyebrows, with a hint of tenderness, totally devoid of the usual coldness that belonged to the princess.
"Sister Yaoye!" Gu Fengchen smiled and gave Yaoye a big hug.
"Okay, stop joking. If you hadn't killed that guy Mu Zhan, the border wouldn't be in such a critical situation!"
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Now I have a few strategic questions for you."
"Ask me for advice?" Gu Fengchen raised his eyebrows. Although he had read some military books, he was not very good at actual marching and fighting. However, since the princess had asked, Gu Fengchen would try his best to give his advice.
