The firelight flickered, the night was quieter, but no one slept in the garrison of Baishan City. The news of the approach of the Hebodo army has long been spread, in previous winters they have all retired to recuperate, but this year is different, not only did not leave, but has been stationed in Kebutuo, which is adjacent to the White Mountain, the food and clothing of the 100,000 army is extraordinary, and I don't know where they got so many grain and grass reserves, not only support to this day, but also dare to send troops to invade the territory!

Baishan grain and grass has not been abundant from beginning to end, Bai Shaoqing was relieved when he arrived, and he was barely able to support until the spring flowers bloomed, but because of the poisoning, more than half of the grain and grass were lost, and then there was a trip to Nagano, unexpectedly, the 30,000 horses who went to Nagano only came back more than 3,000 people, and the rest all died in Nagano Koike Town, this series of blows has overwhelmed the stormy Baishan City, and it is in danger!

The sound of coughing came and went in the silent night, the hardship of the conditions greatly reduced the physical condition of the soldiers, these days, even the food has begun to be reduced, in addition to the tens of thousands of horses stationed in the entire Baishan City, there are still people suffering from the snow disaster, looking at the suffering, it is really unbearable.

The boss's tent is still brightly lit at the moment, and Meng Changlong, together with his five generals and Nangong Mo, is discussing tomorrow's countermeasures.

"Hou Ye, the soldiers we sent to Jiuyuan have not sent any news back, I'm afraid ......" Deputy General Wang Yu slammed his fist on the table, and then Huo Ran got up, and said indignantly: "The giant deer is between Baishan and Jiuyuan, Wu Feiyun is now sitting in Julu, and his subordinates and others think that our people may not even have access to the giant deer!

"Yes, Master Hou, now we are short of food and grass, even if Hua Chier is just besieging the city and not attacking, we can't support it for long, according to what his subordinates said, it is better to evacuate here temporarily, wait-"

"It's not proper!" Meng Changlong raised his voice to interrupt the words of the left-wing general Luo Fu: "Baishan is the first barrier of Jiuyuan, if we evacuate and give up this place, it is tantamount to putting Jiuyuan in danger with our own hands, even if Benhou is a blood-spattered battlefield, he will never take half a step back." ”

Then they guarded the gates and waited for reinforcements. After all, paper can't contain the fire, no matter how much Wu Feiyun hinders, it is impossible to cover the sky with one hand, and the news is so completely blocked, as long as the news can reach Jiuyuan, General Zhao Mu will definitely send troops to support us. ”

Nangong Mo nodded and said, "The battle situation is together, and all places should echo each other from afar, and it stands to reason that we also need to send someone to Julu, but it's just ......" Nangong Mo sighed softly, full of worry.

"The last general will send someone to save it in the future, Wu Feiyun pretended not to know, but said that we didn't ask for help, so we shirked our responsibility for some reason!"

"Tomorrow, the city gate will be closed, first look at the shape and then discuss, no one is allowed to go out of the city to fight without the order of Benhou!"

"Yes!"

The wind and snow were tight, and the four of them were already very tired after a day's journey, and there was a small campfire burning in the cave, and the heat wave was bursting, which made people drowsy.

Xi Hao was asleep in his arms, this road was very difficult to walk, because the horse was easy to fall into the snow pit with weight, so he often needed to get off the horse and walk, he had never suffered so hard, but he gritted his teeth and insisted on it along the way, never said a word, and it was very distressing to see the lingering, which also made Mingwei and Murong Mo secretly respect.

"Mingwei, are you still awake?" asked softly when he saw the man move.

"Yes, I'll go outside and take a look, we have seen so many extraordinary things along the way, I always feel that there is something strange about it, the team went straight to Baishan, but why kill all the way, and not let go of the local people. ”

Listening to the two of them talking, Murong Mo opened his eyes and asked each other words. Seeing that Xi Hao was sleeping deeply, he lowered his voice and described in detail the situation they had seen along the way, Murong Mo was the soldier who killed on the battlefield around Mo Han, and he had been following General Mo Feng to pacify the border rebellion back then, and his thinking was different, after listening to Lingering's words, he thought slightly, and suddenly got up, with a look of surprise on his face.

"You're here, I'll take a look around. ”

Seeing that his expression was inappropriate, Mingwei reached out and clasped him, and said urgently: "But what do you think?"

Murong Mo nodded, but he didn't elaborate, just let them wait here, and then walked out of the cave and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Mingwei and Langmian glanced at each other, and then they both looked at Xi Hao, who was sleeping.

Bai Shan didn't know what the situation was, he just hoped that when he arrived, Xi Hao would still be able to see his father.

Waiting is the most difficult, Mingwei and lingering are both people who can hold their temperament, and they can't help but feel flustered at this moment, and when Mingwei was about to go out to find out, Murong Mo came back.

"Wake up the son, we need to hurry overnight, the Hebodo army is behind us, we can't delay for a moment!"

The words startled the two of them, and they asked while waking up Xi Hao, "How many people?"

Murong Mo shook his head, his face was extremely bad: "The army is overwhelming, and there are countless of them. What you have seen a few days ago must have been that the advance troops cleared the way so that the army could march. On the other side of the White Mountain is Hebodo's Kobutuo, but their army is coming from the direction of Nagano, but I am afraid that Nagano has fallen, and the White Mountain is also in danger. ”

When Xi Hao opened his eyes, he was still in a daze, but at this moment, a cold sweat broke out on his back, he ran forward in a little panic, grabbed Murong Mo's arm, shook his head with a trembling voice, and said: "No, if Changye has fallen, how can we not know anything outside Wuyuan Town, that town is so peaceful......" At this point, he suddenly woke up.

If all the people who knew about it were dead, like the people in Koike Town and the village, then who would be able to spread the news.

"Xi Hao—"

Reached out and caught Xi Hao's backward body, and wrapped him into his arms.

"Lingering, daddy will be fine, right, he will be fine, right, you sue me, sue me!" his hands grabbed his chest fiercely, and Xi Hao's body trembled unstoppably.

Lingering didn't speak, because he couldn't give this assurance, his silence made Xi Hao even more panicked, and his face was as white as snow.

"This place should only be two days away from Baishan, we need to travel day and night, maybe we can notify Hou Ye and the people of Baishan to evacuate before the army arrives. Murong Mo tightened his burden and said, "The enemy army is behind us, we have to work hard, otherwise we will be caught up by the vanguard troops, let's go." ”

Mingwei had already kicked the bonfire away, and the entire cave suddenly went dark.

The four of them walked out of the cave and followed the direction pointed by Murong Mo, but they could only see the mountains superimposed by black shadows, and they sighed secretly in their hearts at the moment.

If it weren't for Murong Mo, the three of them would probably have fallen into the hands of the enemy at this moment. Sure enough, marching and fighting are not ordinary, and experience is so important, even if they have walked the rivers and lakes for many years, they may not be able to reach it.

The ice edges of the branches swayed in the wind, shattered and fell, and smashed on the people and hurt. The horse couldn't be ridden for the time being, and the four of them passed through the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and found that Xi Hao was very silent, and handed the reins in his hand to Mingwei, and he turned around to pull Xi Hao and said, "I'll carry you." ”

"No, I can do it myself. Xi Hao stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on his cheeks, shook his head stubbornly, and then desperately stepped forward. The snow was very deep, he was petite, he was no longer above his knees, every step was extremely difficult, but he just bit his lip and kept taking a step.

Lingering followed, reaching out to grab his hand, trying to make it easier for him to walk.

Xi Hao's nose was sour, his eyes were looking straight ahead, and he didn't look at the lingering, but his heart was full of pain.

The lingering hands were so cold, the fingers were already frostbitten, the wounds were hard, and the itching was painful. He wrapped himself tightly every day, pressing acupuncture points at his leisure to keep his blood flowing, but he ......

After many days of running, he has also had a tired color, and his spirit is not back to the past, he is so free and easy, but for himself to be in this situation, the future of this road is uncertain, he is also so uncomplaining and unrepentant, with him treated like this, what more can the husband ask for!

"Shhh

Murong Mo, who was walking in the front, suddenly leaned over and signaled, and the three people behind him all lowered their bodies and held their breath when they saw this.

Several black shadows came from the front, swept by at great speed, and galloped into the distance.

"I think it's the other party's scouts, although they have a lot of people, but they are bound to be no slower than us in a hurry, the road here is already flat, pull the horse down, let's go!"

When he arrived in the middle of the road, Murong Mo looked at the lingering horses and said, "I'll exchange with you, my horse has good endurance, you and Xi Hao's son ride together, ordinary horses can't bear it at all." ”

Hearing this, he looked at the horse in his hand, the horse was originally stolen by them when they fled, and it was indeed not a good horse, so he did not shirk it, changed mounts with Murong Mo, pulled Xi Hao on the horse, and carefully sorted out his clothes, before beating the horse and following the two people.

"Prince, it won't take three days to reach Baishan, the scouts will report, there is no suspicion ahead, the prince might as well rest early and recuperate. Digor whispered back from behind the man.

After a pause, he stretched his body lazily, and then said, "Mr. Qingfeng, has you slept?" After asking, but before Digor could answer, he laughed: "Naturally, he didn't sleep, he was already so close to Baishan, and it was even more difficult for him to calm down than I did." Reaching out and grabbing a small jar of wine on the table, he threw it in the air and picked it up, and said with a light hand: "Let's go, go and see." ”

There was indeed a candle flame in the tent, and Bark faded into the tent, took the jar of wine from Digor's hand with his backhand, and said, "Go down." ”

Qingfeng was sitting in front of the desk at the moment and bowed his head to paint, and he didn't look up when he entered, Bark Cheng smiled slightly, opened the altar seal, sniffed the wine, leaned in front of the man, and said: "On a snowy night, drink wine to warm up, Mr. Qingfeng, this king specially brought it to you." ”

As always, the man ignored him, and it was not until he placed the wine jar on the picture scroll that he frowned and said, "Why are you provoking again!"

"Just thinking that Mr. is going to meet the old man, this king is quite excited in his heart, so he invites him to drink. ”

"I've learned the etiquette of the Central Plains with me for so many years, and I'm so literate, it's really sour, let's say, what's the matter!" the ink pen was thrown, Qingfeng turned around and poured hot tea, bowed his head and sipped lightly.

"Hahahaha-" burst into laughter, Vedic Chengdan grabbed the wine jar, raised his head and drank, and said meaningfully: "It's okay, this king is only afraid that Mr. will see the old man and think of the old love, and he can't do it!"

The teacup was raised to his lips, and he paused, for a long time, Qingfeng sneered, drank tea like wine, drank it in one gulp, and then turned his back and said: "Wine, the longer it is, the more mellow it is, it will be like hatred, and I will not be able to do it after so many years!" The teacup became tighter and tighter in his hand, and finally made a crisp sound, turning into a piece of shards, stained with blood beads, and flashing in the candlelight!
