The Mangguo cavalry and tribal tribes retreated as quickly as they came. Looking at the army receding like a tide, although the wrinkles on Su Qin's forehead relaxed a little, but staring at the soldiers who were leaving, he knew that this was just the beginning, because of this battle War is like a circle. Once you start running on it, no matter how tired you are, it will not end unless you die. Those who think they have reached the end are actually back to the starting point.
Just when Su Qin stood on the city wall and watched the Mang people below carrying the bodies back, he felt something and looked at a figure - Hulun Qinghan, who had arrived in front of the formation at some time, stood beside those On top of the iron thorn, he was looking this way.
Facing Su Qin's gaze, Hulun Qinghan clearly saw the scene on the city wall. Her eyes finally fell on the iron thorns under her feet. She stood silently. Behind her, thousands of soldiers from the Mang Kingdom and tribes were charging in just now. Death is inevitable in war, but what makes Hulun Qinghan difficult to accept is that the soldiers of the Mang Kingdom and the tribe only attacked a hundred feet in front of Qingyun City. This was not the case in the previous wars between the Mang Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom. has never appeared before.
Looking back at the dead soldiers, Hulun Qinghan slowly pulled out the soft sword from his waist. After turning his body to the ground, he gently swung the iron thorn in front of him, and a faint red light came from Hulun. The soft sword in Qinghan's hand appeared and landed directly on the iron thorn. A roaring sound was heard, and the iron thorn made of fine iron instantly turned into scrap metal and fell into the deep pit behind.
Watching the soft sword in Hulun Qinghan's hand keep swinging, and the iron thorns turned into scrap metal one by one, Hu Yilu said to Su Qin beside him with some distress: "Who is this woman? She is actually a Monk, use your trebuchet against her.¡±
Hearing Hu Yilu's words, Su Qin shook his head, "She is from Lingxiu Mountain, and the trebuchet can't cause any harm to her." After Su Qin finished speaking, he looked at the military camp behind Hulun Qinghan - Mo Xiao last time When the two people from Lingxiu Mountain came to Qingyun City, Mo Xiao escaped and the others were killed by him. This time Hulun Qinghan led Mangguo to go north. Is there no one coming from Lingxiu Mountain?
Su Qin believes that someone will definitely come, but he doesn¡¯t know why they haven¡¯t appeared yet.
"Master, how about asking the old slave to go down and fight her?" Looking at Hulun Qinghan in the distance, Hei Ling stepped forward and asked Su Qin for orders.
Shaking his head, Su Qin glanced at Hei Ling and Wang Qiqi, Leng Hanyue and the others behind him, "There is only one Hulun Qinghan showing up now. I think there will be people coming from Lingxiu Mountain. Everyone, take precautions and fight well when the time comes. One game.¡±
Hulun Qinghan didn't know why Su Qin didn't order anyone to take action and destroy all the iron thorn mechanisms. Hulun Qinghan looked at the city wall. Just when she was about to take a few steps forward to talk to Su Qin and say something, Su Mu, who came on horseback, dismounted and walked over with a solemn expression, "Commander Hulun, the situation seems to be a little bad."
"What's wrong?" After looking at the look on Su Mu's face, Hulun Qinghan stopped and asked.
"Some of the soldiers who retreated just now" Su Mu said, not looking at Hulun Qinghan anymore, but at the bloody stones on the ground. The look on his face looked up when he looked up at Hulun Qinghan. He showed a hint of resentment, "Dizziness, weakness, and vomiting. I suspect they were poisoned."
"Poisoned?" Su Mu's voice fell, Hulun Qinghan's face darkened, and then nodded, "I understand, you go back first, I will be back in a while."
Su Mu nodded, glanced at the city wall, vaguely saw a trace of anger in Su Qin's face, then got on his horse and ran towards the road.
Seeing Su Mu leaving, Hulun Qinghan glanced at the military camp in the distance, and then walked towards the gate of Qingyun City. When he was thirty feet away from the city wall, Hulun Qinghan stopped, and Su Qin looked at After Hulun Qinghan, who came alone, ordered the demon sect members who had their bows strung not to act rashly, Su Qin concentrated and shouted to Hulun Qinghan, "What do you want to do?"
"Did you just take poison?" Hulun Qinghan looked at Su Qin and replied.
"Don't worry, those poisons won't kill people, but they can make them lose their fighting ability."
"You are shameless." Hearing Su Qin's words, Hulun Qinghan frowned slightly and said, murderous intention gradually rising in his heart.
"This is just the beginning. The next time you attack the city, you won't retreat so easily." Su Qin said with a smile on his lips, "I advise you to go back and let Mo Xiao come."
"Su Qin, I didn't expect you to be so vicious." Hulun Qinghan calmed down after hearing Su Qin's words, "I really feel bad for my junior sister Wen Lan."
Seeing Hulun Qinghan mention Xi Ri Wenlan, Su Qin was silent for a moment, "If it wasn't for her sake, do you think I would be willing to speak to you? I'll give you ten breaths.It's best to leave, or the bows and arrows in the hands of these archers will shoot at you. "
"You are cruel." Hulun Qinghan said, suddenly raising the soft sword in his hand and stabbing at the south gate of Qingyun City, and a stream of air came straight towards the city gate.
Seeing that Hulun Qinghan wanted to destroy the city gate, Hei Ling and Wang Qifa jumped up from the city wall at the same time to block the city gate. At this time, Su Qin also ordered the archers to shoot their arrows at Hulun Qing. Han - before the Mangguo and tribal armies attacked, no sword or arrow was used on the city wall, and they were repelled only by the iron spikes and trebuchets made by Hu Yilu. However, facing Hulun Qinghan, the soldiers on the city wall It was the first time that he shot out the arrow in his hand, but he didn't know why. At this time, Hu Yilu did not let the spear tribe members shoot out the arrow in the crossbow.
Thousands of arrows shot at Hulun Qinghan with whistling sounds. After swinging a sword, Hulun Qinghan made plans to retreat. Watching Hei Ling and Wang Qifa jump off the city wall, Hulun Qinghan Qinghan knew that her blow would have no effect. She was slightly disappointed and started to retreat when the arrow left the string. The buzzing sound of the arrow sounded. Hulun Qinghan had already stepped back more than ten feet. When the arrow flew into the air and gradually fell, Hulun Qinghan was already fifty feet away from the city wall. Although it reached the edge of the arrow's range, Hulun Qinghan did not stop. When her figure stood When she was next to the iron thorn, all the arrows had fallen behind her. Looking at the arrows that were deeply pierced into the soil and the tails of the arrows were still shaking, Hulun Qinghan took one last look at the safe and sound city gate and then Start walking towards the military camp.
To the east of the tent in the military camp, there are already cold corpses. Some soldiers are just placing the broken arms or legs next to their owners. To the west of the military camp, there are the Mangguo soldiers who have just retreated. The cavalry and tribal soldiers were lying or sitting on the ground, with different expressions on their faces, but they all looked painful.
Hulun Qinghan first went to the place where the corpses were stored in the east. He looked at the soldiers who were stoned to death or stabbed to death by iron spikes. Although he was used to life and death, Hulun Qinghan still couldn't help but frowned and looked at Hu Lun Qinghan. Lun Qinghan's back, Qiao Er rushed over at this time, "A total of 4,736 people died in the battle."
Hulun Qinghan nodded, "Cremate them all." After saying that, Hulun Qinghan gave Qiao Er a few words and asked Qiao Er to write down the names of these dead soldiers and notify him after the war. After caring for their relatives and taking good care of them, Hulun Qinghan walked to the east. Looking at the soldiers who fell on the ground, a deputy general came up and said, "Commander, these soldiers are a little hot and weak. The military doctor said he was suffering from vomiting and diarrhea, but because he doesn¡¯t know what kind of poison it is, the antidote may not be developed for a while.¡±
"How many people have such symptoms?" Looking at the soldiers in front and smelling the stench in the air, Hulun Qinghan couldn't help feeling a little chilly. If Su Qin had used highly poisonous poison, I'm afraid these people would have died. .
"Nearly 20,000 people." The deputy general said as he glanced at the expression on Hulun Qinghan's face and hesitated to speak.
"Is there anything else?" She silently recited the number mentioned by the deputy general in her mind. Hulun Qinghan frowned. She didn't expect that Su Qin would lose so many men on her side without scrapping a single soldier.
"Someone came to you just now and asked you to explain why you retreated when you come back." The deputy general said and looked at a tent next to the commander's tent.
Nodding, looking at the tent, Hulun Qinghan murmured, "I will explain." After saying this, Hulun Qinghan turned to look at the deputy general, "Pass my order to Su Muhe All officers and men in the army, no one can act rashly without my order." After saying this, Hulun Qinghan walked towards the tent where the monks were staying in Lingxiu Mountain.
Just as Hulun Qinghan began to retreat, the ships of the Tianshui Kingdom far away on the sea to the east were slowly docking - the previous Tianshui Kingdom soldiers led by Qi Luoge had already captured the easternmost part of the Yan Kingdom. City, waiting for the newly added troops from the Tianshui Kingdom to join them and then start a large-scale invasion of the Yan Kingdom.
Soldiers from the Tianshui Kingdom continued to be sent to the mainland, and some bold Tianshui Kingdom citizens took merchant ships to prepare to follow the Tianshui Kingdom's army to move into the city where Qi Luoge was located - the citizens of the Tianshui Kingdom began to move eastward, and the Lousha Dynasty's After a long journey, people also came to the capital of Ningguo at this time.
Shan Pingyou was greeted by the new leader of the Ning Kingdom, Ning Lanmei. Although Ning Haobo abdicated the throne, he assisted Ning Lanmei in handling state affairs as a supervisor. At this time, the Yan State had no internal troubles, only leaves and weak water sources. There were constant reports that manpower and food were needed for the war ahead. In addition to collecting these from Lang State and other countries, Ning State, which had not yet been subjugated relatively speaking, was naturally the top priority.
Looking at the towering city wall of Ning State, Shan Pingyou's face looked a little excited and a little uneasy, but when she saw Ning Lanmei, she felt uneasyA lot, because the first thing Ning Lanmei said to Shan Pingyou was, "From today on, you can live here with me."
