Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Following Ye Ruoshui's order, the old, weak, women and children in the city began to evacuate southward along the underground passage - the underground passage was about five miles long, leading directly to the dense forest outside Xiliang City, where the Mangguo army surrounded Xiliang City.  Mo Xiao did not send any scouts to the four north and south gates because he wanted to fight to the death here.  After tens of thousands of old, weak, women and children entered the secret passage one after another, just in case, Ye Ruoshui stood at the top of the city wall and began to order people to shout to Mang Guo.

    "Khan, Ye Ruoshui wants to negotiate." A Mangguo general heard the words coming from the city wall and ran quickly to the tent where Mo Xiao was.

    The wind was freezing on the wall of Xiliang City. The nearly 10,000 Yanguo soldiers, excluding the nearly 1,000 people escorted away, all climbed onto the city wall. They faced the rising sun and looked at the 50,000-strong army of Mangguo in the distance. No one flinched.  .  The cold weapons were held in their hands, and their young faces were full of pride.  Although many of them had no food and lived on hot tea.

    In the Mangguo tent, when he heard that Ye Ruoshui wanted to negotiate, Mo Xiao sneered and asked someone to notify Hulun Qinghan to come over. When Hulun Qinghan arrived, Mo Xiao looked at the cold face and said, "Now  Ye Ruoshui wants to negotiate, what do you think?"

    "Ye Ruoshui will not surrender even if he dies." Hulun Qinghan frowned and looked at Mo Xiao with confusion on his face: "You should know that Ye Ruoshui did this just to confuse us.  Why do you still need to negotiate with me?"

    "I came to you to discuss when to attack the city." Mo Xiao picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp, then stood up and came to the tent door. Looking at the majestic Xiliang City in front of him, Mo Xiao thought for a moment and said: "  The current food and grass in Xiliang City can only last three days. If there are no accidents, the reinforcements from the Lousha Dynasty and the Ning Kingdom should also arrive in the next few days. Calculating the distance, the Tianshui Kingdom army led by Zhang Duanzhang and Lu Tianxing will arrive soon."

    "What do you mean?" Looking at Mo Xiao's back, Hulun Qinghan took two steps forward and stood side by side with him, looking at Xiliang City.

    "I want to know what you think." Mo Xiao turned to look at Hulun Qinghan: "After all, you are the commander-in-chief of this southern expedition."

    After thinking for a while, Hulun Qinghan said: "Attack the city at night. When Xiliang City is captured, I will lead the army to retreat. You will lead the large army to wait for the opportunity in Xiliang City, and wait until the troops of Lousha Dynasty and Ningguo arrive.  Let's attack them from front to back and destroy them. If the army of Tianshui Kingdom comes later, we will capture the thieves and capture the king first." At this point, Hulun Qinghan paused: "We can't give Lu Tianxing a chance to breathe, and the people of Tianshui Kingdom are all  They are just grassroots, let¡¯s promise huge profits when the time comes, and when the time is right, we will kill them all without leaving a trace.¡±

    After Hulun Qinghan finished speaking, Mo Xiao nodded. Looking at the vague figures on the city wall, Mo Xiao said: "Since they want to negotiate now, I will go up and have a chat with them. You should be prepared. Later in the night  Begin the siege."

    Hulun Qinghan nodded and looked at Mo Xiao's back walking towards Xiliang City.

    Three hundred miles away from Xiliang City, an army was marching sleeplessly. The leader was riding a brown war horse. Although his armor was still bright, it was full of dust. He looked back at the already exhausted soldiers.  , Hua Qingwu ordered the soldiers to start resting.  Just after she gave the order, a scout reported that everything was normal ahead.

    Hua Qingwu nodded, said to continue to inquire, and then took out the map. Hei Ling could not step forward at this time, so he came to Hua Qingwu, glanced at the map, and then at the upside down  Hei Ling frowned at the soldiers resting on the ground: "They have not rested for a day and a night. If this continues, these soldiers will not be able to fight even if they arrive on the battlefield."

    "I understand. But if we arrive a quarter of an hour late, Xiliang City will be in more danger." Hua Qingwu said and closed the map: "If Xiliang City falls by then, do you think the more than 10,000 of us will be in danger?"  Are you the opponent of the Mangguo Cavalry?"

    Hei Ling sighed and said nothing.

    Glancing at Hei Ling, Hua Qingwu sighed: "I couldn't help but wonder how Su Qin's situation is now."

    "Don't worry, he will be fine." Hei Ling was very confident in Su Qin.  At this moment, Hu Yilu came over and told the two of them that all the weapons were smeared with poison that would seal the throat when it sees blood. Hua Qingwu hummed and started to check the food and grass. After the group had eaten breakfast,  After everyone slept for less than an hour, they continued to rush towards Liangcheng with Hua Qingwu leading the way.

    Time passed quickly. In the evening, Hua Qingwu and others were still nearly a hundred miles away from Xiliang City. The setting sun was like blood. After setting up camp, there was a cry throughout the camp to check on the sleeping soldiers. Hua Qingwu  His face was full of worry - for this recruitment, all young people from the Lousha Dynasty and Ningguo were summoned, ranging from thirty-five to fifteen years old. If the Lousha Dynasty and Ningguo were defeated and there were no more available soldiers, they would be  The time is truly over.

      With many things on her mind, Hua Qingwu came to her tent and lay down. She had not closed her eyes for a long time and soon fell asleep. However, at midnight, Hua Qingwu was awakened by the sound of a horse neighing, and looked towards the man.  Hua Qingwu was full of surprises when the scouts came running. At this time, they should be resting far away. Why did they come?  Is there any hostility?  Thinking of this, Hua Qingwu shuddered and lost all sleep.

    "Report to the general, refugees were found three miles ahead." The visitor looked at Hua Qingwu, who was awakened, knelt on one knee and clasped her fists and said, "My subordinates asked them that they are from Xiliang City, numbering nearly 50,000, and they are all old people.  Weak women and children are escorted by nearly a thousand soldiers."

    "Where is the escort now?" Hua Qingwu asked with renewed energy.

    "On the way here."

    "Okay, you bring him over in a minute. I'll call the others over." Hua Qingwu said and hurried to the tent of Hei Ling and others. Soon Hei Ling Hu Yilu King inspired Chen Qianfan Long Xiangtian  The others arrived at Hua Qingwu's tent.

    As soon as Hua Qingwu finished explaining the situation, a scout ran in with a commander. When the commander entered the tent, he knelt heavily on his legs and said, "Please general, hurry up and save Xiliang City."

    "What's the current situation in Xiliang City?" Looking at the captain escorting the old, weak, women and children, Hua Qingwu handed him a glass of water and asked him to tell him about the situation in Xiliang City first.

    "There are now less than 10,000 defenders and 20,000 able-bodied civilians in the city. The Mangguo cavalry burned, killed and looted all the way. Now there are less than 100,000 people left alive in the north. I left with the old people, children and women.  Xiliang City, the food and grass in the city are now exhausted, and the Mangguo cavalry outside the city will attack the city at any time."

    "My mistress is in danger now, and I hope the general will ask for help!"

    Hearing the captain's words, Hua Qingwu looked at the refugees arriving in the distance. Her eyes unconsciously looked towards the north. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Hua Qingwu seemed to see the fire all over the sky.
