But what's the use of understanding? It's not that the arrow is on the line, it's that the arrow has already been shot.

Seeing that there seemed to be no end to the army running out of the city, Shi Qian felt more and more uneasy.

"Where's General Guan? Hasn't he come back yet?"

"Tell the general, not yet. ”

The division was walking briskly back and forth on the small hill, and the two armies had already come into contact, and the neighing and screaming of horses became sharper and sharper than the other.

Shi Qian looked at the West Devouring City where there were still soldiers rushing out, and gritted his teeth fiercely: "Order all the generals to lead the army to attack, be sure to repel them!"

"Yes!"

"Yang Fengqing! Is it really you? Let me see how long you can resist me with just a few of your subordinates!"

Shi Qian stared at the battlefield, not for a moment, but he did not look like he wanted to participate in the battle in person.

Shi Qian felt that the soldiers who rushed out of the West Devouring City seemed to be endless, and this feeling was not much different from that of Luo Daguang and Ergou.

They plunged headlong into the coalition army, and when they gradually felt a little tired and looked up, there were coalition forces in all directions.

The two looked at each other, and the wry smile was even stronger, but the color of firmness after that was also more and more.

For the first time, the two did not rush forward without a single move, but pulled the reins and fought and retreated.

It's not because they're afraid to die in battle, but now they can't die even if they die.

It is easiest to die now, and to live and defeat the 100,000 coalition troops is a fearless move.

No matter how hard you try, when two armies with no way out meet, there is a high probability that the side with the largest number will win.

The defenders of the West Devouring City in the battle circle felt that there were more and more coalition forces around them, and from the place where the division cadres were, the defenders of the West Devouring City were divided into many small pieces, and in each small block, the number of the coalition forces had an absolute advantage.

But Shi Qian did not feel happy because of this, but became more and more dignified.

"Hasn't General Guan come back yet?"

"Tell the general, not yet. ”

"Yang Fengqing, what kind of trick are you playing?!"

Shi Qian furrowed his brows, staring at the soldiers at the back who had retreated to the moat, but he couldn't figure out what was going on.

Suddenly, his eyes lifted up, and his frown was a little tangled with his whole face.

He saw that the entire city of the West Devouring City was emitting an orange-red light, and he could tell at a glance that it was the light shining by torches.

Everywhere he could see was orange-red light, how many soldiers did it take in the city to do this, or what was going on in the city?

While he was still pondering what was going on, panicked footsteps sounded behind him, and his guards shouted, "Meet General Guan." ”

Shi Qian quickly turned around, and was about to speak, Guan Yongnian's panicked shout as if he had lost his soul made his heart seem to miss a beat.

"Yes—he's coming!"

After Guan Yongnian finished shouting this sentence, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength and fell to the ground.

Shi Qian ran to Guan Yongnian's side and picked up Guan Yongnian with one hand: "What?!You tell me clearly, who is coming!"

He knew in his heart who was coming to make Guan Yongnian, who was descending with him so frightened, but he couldn't convince himself that he really came.

"I didn't open that door, it was Luo Daguang and Ergou who took the initiative to lead the army out of the city to meet us! All our actions were within their expectations, and there must be a gap between them in our army! General, flee quickly! If we don't escape, we will all die here!"

"But—but—"

Shi Qian's situation at this time was like that of a gambler, in order to win, he had put almost all his chips into it.

This one, four of the five cards they had drawn, and no matter what they thought about, he won in the end. Let him give up at this time, how easy is it?!

While he was hesitating, a roar like a wave came from the blazing Western Devouring City: "Greetings to the General—"

The sound was a little far away, and mixed with the sound of the two armies fighting in front of them, and they couldn't count how many people it would take to roar such a magnificent roar.

"Here he comes! General—"

Boom Boom Boom –

Knock Knock Knock –

From the West Devouring City, there was a roar of soldiers stepping on the ground at the same time, as well as the sound of dozens of war drums beating together.

Shi Qian saw at a glance that the red color in the city was already closer to the city gate, and it seemed that he could climb out from behind the city wall with the next breath.

Looking at the place of the battle again, but after a while, the offensive and defensive momentum was reversed.

The small pieces came together at some point, and they were smaller than the blocks on this side, but the squares on that side looked like they were made of stones, and the squares on his side looked like glutinous rice dumplings.

Don't think about it, if you don't retreat, he's really going to explain here.

But this time, he couldn't leave the army and run, because the existence of these people was the guarantee of his life.

"Mingjin withdraws his troops. ”

"Yes. ”

But he overestimated the morale of his subordinates at this time, and also underestimated the morale of the defenders of the West Devouring City at this time. As soon as the sound of Mingjin's troops was heard, his subordinates who looked like glutinous rice dumplings immediately turned into a plate of loose sand.

Shi Qian's eyes widened slightly, but regret and frustration could not restore the decline at this time: "One wrong step and one wrong step, this time I lost again! Everyone come with me!"

Shi Qian did not lead the more than 5,000 soldiers he had left by his side to retreat, but rushed towards a plate of loose sand and rout.

"Don't panic!

"Those who dare to disturb the morale of the army will be killed!"

"Resist the pursuers, don't let them storm the army again!"

Luo Daguang and Ergou saw in the distance that the coalition forces were running in one place, and their subordinates died a lot there, and they did not pursue again.

"Back to the city!"

"Quick!"

Shi Qian watched as the defenders of the West Devouring City, who were still attacking their defense line with a breath in the past, suddenly retreated towards the West Devouring City, and did not wave his army to pursue, because he now only had more than 4,000 soldiers in his hands.

However, his eyes slowly filled with annoyance, staring at the empty city, and the orange glow was still the same as before.

Luo Daguang and Ergou led the army into the West Devouring City, and the streets and alleys not far from the city wall were full of the old, weak, sick and disabled, each of whom had a torch.

There were still relatively few soldiers running around them, and Liu Changan and Gong Gaoshuang stood on a high platform and waved at them.

The two looked at each other again, both of them were afraid for a while, too many words could not be spoken, only raised their hands and waved at them.

......

"Lord Xia, Miss Yuhe, you should hurry up and have a good rest. ”

Qiu Hong scratched his head deeply, he was wondering if he had used the wrong medicine, Xia Bing'er and Yuhe had been muttering since they drank the medicine, and they didn't look like they were going to fall asleep after drinking the medicine before.

"Pharmacist Qiu, since you came back with Daguang and Ergou, have you gotten along with Fengqing?"

"Tell us what my brother did in Guangwudu. ”

Qiu Hongshen raised his head again and scratched his head, this time he blocked the wide sleeves in front of him, the expression on his face turned into stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Childe has done a lot, but can I say it?"

He wiped his forehead, lowered his arm, and said with a serious wry smile: "My time with my son is relatively short, but in fact, not much happened. ”

"Pharmacist Qiu, sit down, and you will tell us everything from the time you met Fengqing to the time you separated. ”

"Hurry up, my brother must have done a lot of great things, didn't he?"

Qiu Hongshen looked at Gu Xuzhang who was standing aside, and Gu Xuzhang had already turned his head to look away.

But his silent behavior already represents his position.

At this moment, he suddenly thought about Luo Daguang, Ergou and Yang Zhan, even if they beat him, he thought about it all too much. By the way, where did Yang Zan go?

It is said that since he entered this courtyard, he has not seen the three of them again. However, Ergou told him that Ergou and Luo Daguang might have to go out of the city, as for Yang Zhan, it is said that Yang Zan is the youngest among them, but that guy doesn't like to talk too much, and he always gives people a feeling of being quiet, which is very insidious.

"That-where did Yang Zan go?"

Gu Xuzhang turned his head: "He is now guarding the South City Gate for me temporarily." ”

"Oh, that kid—"

"Stop, Pharmacist Qiu, don't think I don't know you're changing the subject!"

Squatting in the center of the room, Qiu Pengpai, who was fanning the fire of the small stove, quietly turned his head to the bed, glanced at it and hurriedly turned his head over.

"Brother Peng Pai, what are you looking at?"

Li Yuhe's beautiful eyes were so agile at this time, how could her eyes so easily escape her perception.

Qiu Pengpai hurriedly shook his head, and didn't dare to turn his head: "No, I didn't look at anything." ”

"Cut—I see you're peeking at me. Hee-hee-Sister Bing'er, am I very good-looking?"

Qiu Pengpai's face turned red, and he didn't refute Yuhe's words.

Adults can see what children are thinking, which can be described as dimensionality reduction, and they can know what children are thinking at a glance.

Therefore, Qiu Pengpai's careful thoughts about Yuhe, the three adults in the room were all clear at a glance, but none of them pointed it out.

Xia Bing'er pinched Li Yuhe's little face, which became more and more addictive, and said with a doting smile: "It's good-looking, I don't know which kid will be cheaper in the future." ”

Xiao Yuhe slapped Xia Bing'er's hand away, and snorted: "Hmph! I don't want to be cheap, I'm going to do it-hmm-"

Xia Bing'er covered Xiao Yuhe's mouth without blushing and her heart was beating, which made Qiu Hongshen, Qiu Pengpai and his son disappointed for a while: "Pharmacist Qiu, let's talk about it, we don't feel sleepy at all now, if you don't say it, we will go out and walk around." ”

"Uh-I want to think about it. ”

Qiu Hongshen, who was forced to be helpless, had to think about it first, and then said: "My ancestors and grandchildren have been in Hengyan Town, Yuzhou County for several generations, and there were many murders in the town some time ago, but——"

Qiu Hongshen didn't talk about Yang Fengqing's solution to the case, but when he saw Yang Fengqing, he was interrupted by Xia Bing'er: "How many people were there around Fengqing at that time?"

Qiu Hong thought about it deeply, and still said truthfully: "Four people, Daguang, Ergou, Yang Zan and the princess of Sakura." ”

"Princess Sakura, is she good-looking, is Sister Bing'er good-looking?"

Yuhe broke free of Xia Bing'er's palm and asked quickly.

Xia Bing'er couldn't help but blush, but she didn't blame Yuhe.

The answer to this question is too simple, and there is no need to think: "Lord Xia is beautiful, so naturally Lord Xia is better-looking." ”

"Whew-"

Yuhe exhaled a long breath of relief, and gently patted his chest.

Xia Bing'er: "......"

Why did she suddenly feel that she didn't look good in Yuhe's eyes? At least she didn't look as good as Yuhe? She couldn't think about it anymore, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to control her hands, so she rubbed Yuhe's face now.

"And then?"

Although Qiu Hongshen deliberately hidden, he could still see from Xia Bing'er, who was just nodding her head, that she heard a lot of things.

"Childe, it's not that I betrayed you, it's really Lord Xia who is too smart. ”

Yuhe often shouted and asked, and the content of the inquiry was mainly about Huyan Qiongmei, Qiu Hongshen couldn't help but look at Yuhe a few more times.
