Chapter 43: The Decisive Battle (Part II)

The crescent moon hung in the sky, the desert was high and low, and from time to time there was a wolf howl in the distance, and the horse's paw fell on the sand, leaving a momentary imprint, and then it was blown away by the wind. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhou Yuele didn't dare to relax for a moment, staring at the map in his hand, for fear of admitting the wrong way. Walking in the desert, there are no landmarks to refer to, and the desert will move with the wind, the only thing that can help them find their direction is the stars in the sky and the ancient river channel, if they fall here, there is no chance of survival.

Qingyue swallowed the medicine on the horse's back, and the vague pain in her chest seemed to be better, but she couldn't lift her arms. The desert is a situation that wild wolves dare not step into, thinking of this, Qing Yue slowly relaxed her heart, they will never be attacked by wild wolves. Zhou Yuele, who was in the lead, sometimes lowered his head and sometimes raised his head, extremely careful. Originally, the two people in Zhou Jiabao would not let Zhou Yuele go to death, and she was ready to find another way, but Zhou Yuele still came out over the wall to help her. Tie Liu also shouted to help her, she shook her head, Tie Liu's injuries this time were quite serious, and a few days were not enough for him to recover enough to be able to cross the desert with her. At this time, it was already in the middle of the moon, and I don't know if the two of Zhoujiabao had found out that their precious grandson had fled, whether they had killed the general's mansion and looked for their own people; Do you look at Xiguan and curse yourself with tears in your eyes......

After receiving the news of the fiasco of the Northwest Battalion, Qingyue immediately asked the person who reported the news, and the man cried profusely, saying that the vanguard officer led a thousand people to escort their squad of 30 people out of the encirclement, and in the end, he escaped alone, and the others were all killed. As soon as the man knelt on the ground, he kowtowed to them, begging the Shaanxi and Gansu sides to send troops to relieve the siege quickly, and the 60,000 troops were all defending the grain depot, hoping that the Shaanxi and Gansu troops would come to their rescue.

However, several lieutenants under Wang Yi strongly advised her that it was too late to save the northwest camp at present, and that the Sichuan army should be immediately mobilized into Shaanxi and Gansu, and it was a top priority to defend Shaanxi and Gansu. At the beginning, Qing Yue did not consider their suggestions, judging from the situation, if he mobilized the Shaanxi and Gansu defenders to relieve the siege, Alabutan might sneak attack the empty city, seize the Shaanxi and Gansu Governor's Palace, occupy the grain route, and choke the lifeblood of the northwest camp; Or intercept the reinforcements in the middle of the way, and use 50,000 horses to fight with 200,000 elite men and horses when the time and place are not in the right place - besides, Heguoli himself is defeated, and he will bear it alone, if the Shaanxi and Gansu portals are missed, it will be related to these lieutenant generals, not to pay for the mistakes of others, not to lose a way to protect oneself, and to order a group of sergeants with such ideas to fight to the death with Alabutan, it is not a wise move, and she cannot be stupid enough to be in this kind of field. "Throwing away the car to protect the handsome" seems to be the best move. However, although the idea of abandoning the Northwest Battalion is reasonable, the reality is not so full! Alabutan's secret attack failed, has turned into a robbery, he hit the northwest camp head-on, once the northwest camp did not resist, the whole army was annihilated, the food of the battalion was returned to Alabutan, then, the Mongolian soldiers who are good at riding, with dry food, can kill the city in less than a day and a night, at that time, they may not be able to wait for reinforcements far away in Sichuan, everyone will die under the wolf knife. Considering this, she had to take this risk to stabilize the position of the Northwest Battalion. Also, Tong Ling was not there, Wang Yi was killed, Tie Liu was seriously injured, and there was no reliable person around her, so she could only go to the northwest camp in person.

After careful consideration, Qingyue decided to let Fu Yin temporarily act as the general's office, arranged for him to lock the city gate, dig deep pits and accumulate grain, and allocated 2,000 soldiers to Zhoujiabao to guard Zhoujiabao and use the city as horns. Then I met with the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, she entered the northwest camp this time, and she would not transfer a soldier from Shaanxi and Gansu, but asked the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu to make a military order, if the northwest camp failed, Shaanxi and Gansu must rely on the city and hold on for a month, waiting for reinforcements.

Doctor Jia offered to ask him to enter the northwest camp, and Qingyue stayed in Shaanxi and Gansu to sit in command, Qingyue vetoed his proposal, she needed Doctor Jia to enter Sichuan and mobilize reinforcements in case she missed. If you lose the northwest camp Kangxi, you can still spare her, and if you lose Shaanxi and Gansu, she will definitely have to braid.

After the deployment, she called up all the maps, ready to find the nearest path, inserted into the granary of the northwest camp, but searched all the maps, except for the grain road, there was no other way. She didn't want to give up, so she asked the merchant and the porter to inquire, and the merchant and the porter all said, in addition to the grain road, there are all around the Lost Soul Valley, desert, and rocky beach, once you enter, you can no longer get out, so even the Mongolian army only dares to take the grain road, and does not dare to march at will. After hearing this, she frowned, maybe she should really give up her idea, arrange the army of Shaanxi and Gansu Mansion, and treat the enemy to death.

"Miss General, I might be able to help you." Zhou Yuele walked in and said.

Qing Yue raised his head from the city defense map, Zhou Yuele's complexion was not very good, his beard was unkempt, and he still had a smell of alcohol on his body. Qingyue couldn't be sure if he was talking drunk or telling the truth: "Lord Zhou Shaobao, you don't need to call me a general, I'm not a general, you just call me Qingyue." At that time, I just wanted to save people, so the fox fake tiger made you laugh. ”

"I don't approve of grandpa and grandma's approach, but as a grandson, I ......," Zhou Yuele said with a wry smile.

Qingyue understood what he meant, in feudal etiquette, grandchildren must not go against the wishes of their elders: "But the young castle master, you should know that you can't be foolish and filial, Confucius also has a saying: If you don't hold on to danger, and if you don't help you, you will use the other?" People are not saints and sages, who can do nothing, and they can't change the merits and let innocent people die in vain because of their position, right? ”

Zhou Yuele closed his eyes in amazement, stayed quietly for a minute, and then opened his eyes, bowed to Qingyue, and said, "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years." Zhou, in vain, is a manly husband. ”

The sky was overcast, only the sound of the self-striking bell moving mechanically, Qingyue looked at the clock, and it was time for her to prepare to travel. So he said to Zhou Yuele: "Young castle master, you rest first." When the wine wakes up, we'll talk about how you can help me. ”

Zhou Yuele shook his head, took out a small silk from his cuffs, and held it with both hands: "This is the path to the Northwest Camp, this map was given to me by Yun Xi's father before he died, he turned out to be the head of my horse team, and he traveled with Mongolia and Da Maozi all the year round. I ended up losing both of them. If I had made up my mind earlier, I would have taken Yun Xi to leave......" Zhou Yuele choked up when he said this.

Leaving people is worried, and beating mandarin ducks with sticks is hard.

Qingyue took the map, and there were twists and turns on it, in addition to the route of the Northwest Daying, there was also a direct route to the counties and townships of the Shaanxi and Gansu Governor's Mansion, and even farther to Lake Baikal, and the terrain, passes, and checkpoints on the way were clearly marked. Qingyue was shocked, this was by no means a simple elopement map, it was no different from the military map on her desk. She found that the edge of the silk was only on two sides, and the rest was full of raw edges, and from this alone she could conclude that it was a military map divided into several parts. She smiled at Zhou Yuele and said, "Figure, I accepted it, thank you." You go back early and rest. Zhou Yuele knelt on the ground: "Miss Qingyue, Zhou has a reluctant request." Qingyue put the picture into her sleeve and asked, "What kind of reluctant request?" Zhou Yuele said: "Please let me lead the way, Yun Xi and I have been out of the customs many times with Father Zhuang, that is, Yun Xi's father." This time, if you want to go to the desert, the girl will definitely use me. ”

The clock rang, and it was exactly three o'clock in the afternoon. A monkey riding a horse ran out of the dripping and running around the little man three times, and the house was quiet again. Maybe it's because she has been a spy for a long time, she is too sensitive, if she doesn't believe Zhou Yuele, then his plan is worthless, and even a trap...... Qing Yue began to roll up the city defense map on the table, and replied as she rolled it: "Young Castle Lord, I'll notify you after I make arrangements, okay?" Zhou Yuele nodded in agreement.

After he left, Qing Yue turned out the map stored in the General's Mansion and compared them one by one, and found that this map was extremely credible. She also instructed someone to find Fu Yin, overturned the previous city defense arrangement, and rearranged it, she has always adhered to this "the heart of harming people must not have, the heart of preventing people is indispensable". After everything was arranged, she sent someone to find Zhou Yuele and prepare to leave tonight.

After dinner, the person who invited Zhou Yuele came back, kneeling on the ground with a look of shame. Qingyue asked, and the person reported that the owner of Zhoujiabao Fort and his wife knew that Zhou Yuele was going to break into the northwest camp with Qingyue, and 10,000 did not agree, and Zhou He's family was tired of preventing Zhou Yuele from going out. Zhou Yuele had no choice but to give up traveling with Qingyue. Therefore, Zhou Yuele wrote a letter to Qingyue, please forgive Qingyue. Qingyue took the letter, asked his subordinates to retreat, and then unfolded the letter:

Young and young frenzied swordsmanship,

Time does not wait for people to rejoice.

That is, there is no chance of the grand plan,

Walk to the bow of the boat naturally straight.

Qingyue smiled secretly, it seems that Zhou Yuele has woken up from his foolishness and filial piety, and Zhoujiabao has a headache. Because these are four hidden poems: when you are young, you can do it.

But when it was three o'clock in the unitary hour, Zhou Yuele hadn't arrived yet, Qingyue thought, he must have been discovered by those two people when he was escaping, there are some things, no fate is no fate. She couldn't wait any longer, and then ordered to set off. Most of the dark lines in Shaanxi and Gansu Mansion entered the northwest camp with her, although before, these people were also dancing on the tip of the knife, but in the face of such a tough battle, they all looked a little nervous, and their expressions were a little stiff. Looking at this group of silent people, she couldn't either, the soldiers were in danger, she could only comfort herself like this.

Out of the city, we traveled four miles along the grain road, and arrived at the fork shown on the map.

In front of the fork, one person and one rider, dressed in black with a short knife, behind him is the lonely lonely moon on the rocky beach. The wind blew through the wilderness, neighing and growling, and the horses' hooves clucked against the gravel.

"Zhou Yuele, are you here?"

"Yes, Miss Qingyue."

Qingyue took out the map from her cuff and threw it to Zhou Yuele in the wind, Zhou Yuele easily grabbed the map in the wind and walked at the front of the team.

Yin Zhen only hated himself for why he didn't wait for the situation to be decided before leaving Qingyue. By the time he received the news of Hegoli's defeat, he had already reached the border of Henan, and it was too late to go back. He ran to the empty wheat field and shouted at a crescent moon in the sky: Qing-Yue-

As soon as the horse fell, Qingyue stumbled and fell off the horse, and she rolled down the sand ridge into the bunker. The crowd dismounted and came to save her. She waved her hand and motioned, out of the way. With the help of her men, she climbed up to the sand ridge again, and her mount screamed in fright to pull out her front legs, but to no avail.

Zhou Yuele took off the horse stick from the saddle, tied the rope, tied the rope to his horse at one end, put the horse stick into the horse's mouth at the other end, and when he was ready, he shouted at his horse, and Qingyue's horse was freed from the sand by force. After the horse vacated, he kept kicking the four hooves, and Zhou Yuele patted the restless horse and said, "Do you dare to make your own decisions in the future?" Don't just take a shortcut. After speaking, he glanced at Qingyue.

Well, Kiyotsuki bit her lower lip. Just now, I was distracted for a moment, and I let the mount overtake the shortcut. She seemed to hear Yinzhen calling her, and she was so frightened that she looked around for a while, for fear that the lord would suddenly come out and say: Qingyue, I want to go too! But when you look around, it's all dark desert and the ubiquitous sound of the wind...... Maybe she's too nervous?

A ray of morning light rises from the sky, the morning sun is always so beautiful that you can look up at it without worrying about its dazzling eyes.

After walking all night, Qingyue planned to let everyone take a rest, but Zhou Yuele said that it was best to take another trip, while the weather was not hot, and when the sun rose again, no one could survive the sun at noon, and then rest again, not to delay the trip, but also to avoid the sun. Qingyue agreed, it seems that Zhou Yuele left Zhoujiabao, and he still has a lot of brains.

As the sun rose, so did the surface temperature, and a shady bunker was found, and everyone slept in it. Their mounts stared at their water bladders. A gust of wind rises, stirring the yellow sand straight up to the sky, the wind supports the sand, moves to the sky, and after reaching the edge of the sky in a trance, it disappears on the sand mountain in the distance.

"You are the wind, I am the sand, lingering to the end of the world. The wind blew across the Tianshan Mountains, and the sand followed the Tianshan Mountains......" Qingyue thought in pieces.

"Drink water." Zhou Yuele came out of nowhere.

Qingyue took the water, drank two sips, and stopped, maybe they still have to go a long way, so they have to save a little.

"Miss Qingyue, you can drink some more." Zhou Yuele handed her the water again. Qingyue shook her head: "I don't know what the future holds, it's better to save a little." Zhou Yuele said: "It won't be too far, we will be able to get out of the desert this evening, and when we reach the Gobi Desert, we will drink horses and feed grass, and we will definitely be able to arrive tomorrow night." Qingyue looked at Zhou Yuele thoughtfully. Zhou Yuele was a little embarrassed by her staring, so he asked her: "Who did you learn the ballad you chanted just now?" Qingyue smiled bitterly, with whom, with Aunt Qiong Yao.

But his question, caused Qingyue's infinite homesickness, before wearing, she felt that modern people's hearts are not ancient, bosses, managers are similar to Zhou Papi, all hope that you have passed English level 8, no need to ask for a translator, computer level 4, no need to ask software programmers, judo over level 10, no need to ask bodyguards, one person for three people, and they only need to open one person's salary. But after crossing, I found that the work of Emperor Lao Tzu is more difficult to fight, not to mention the strange cases in Qili at any time, all forms of work, not only make you have a headache and heartache, the whole body is on fire, and you will die if you are not careful...... Compared with these, she prefers to see the original stingy boss and mean manager, and the chubby boss and the manager who are in a hurry every day appear in her mind, and the faces of these people seem to be getting more and more amiable.

Zhou Yue was happy to see that Qingyue was silent, his heart was sad, and he sighed: "It turns out that the girl and I are actually people with the same disease. ”

Qingyue came to her senses, turned her mind, and asked, "What kind of girl is Yun Xi, have you known her since childhood?" ”

Zhou Yuele blushed, and only replied to her after a while: "Yes, I have known her since childhood." Her father took her to escape, met my grandfather, and later became the head of my family's horseman, helping my family to transport goods outside the customs. When I was a child, when my dad was still around, he liked to run around and often take me out of the customs, and his father also liked to dress her up as a boy and go out together. At that time, she and I were on a camel. She sat in the front, I sat in the back, and I hugged her tightly......"

"It turns out that you have been a little pervert since you were a child." Qingyue quipped.

Zhou Yuele was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "At that time, I was so young, I didn't think about it so much, I just walked at night, Yun Xi she would often fall asleep, I didn't hold her, she fell into the desert." It was a long night, walking in the desert, and I kept pinching myself to keep myself from falling asleep. There was infinite tenderness in Zhou Yuele's eyes, which could never be pretended: "Then why would your grandparents disagree with you marrying her?" The tenderness in Zhou Yuele's eyes immediately turned gloomy: "My father likes Yun Xi, but it's a pity that he went early." My grandparents asked me to take Nayun as a concubine and marry a woman with a foundation. But I don't want to be wronged Yun Xi, Yun Xi is so good to me, how can I bear to let her for the rest of my life, so that I can only call me my master, not my husband. Qing Yue looked at this man with some admiration, he may be a freak in this era, in this era, a man's three wives and four concubines are nothing, he could have chosen an easy path, but he chose the most difficult path. If you love someone, give her everything, and she doesn't ask for the second because of Yun Xi's status, what she loves is not only Yun Xi's appearance, but also all of her.

Qingyue asked: "Since you are like this to her, why can't you let go and wander the world with her?" ”

After Qingyue asked, Zhou Yuele didn't answer immediately, but his eyes couldn't bear the grief, making his eyes blurry and red and swollen. After waiting for a long time, Zhou Yuele smiled bitterly: "I finally lost her, and it's too late to say anything now." On one side is Yun Xi, on the other side is grandparents, my father died early, I am afraid that if I leave, there will be no one to take care of them. Besides, you have also seen the temper of grandparents, in the early years of walking the rivers and lakes, I offended many people, and made many enemies, I am afraid that as soon as I leave, the enemies will come to the door and hurt them, I will be too unfilial. has been wronged by Yun Xi until she finally killed her. With that, he held his knife motionlessly.

Qingyue was also tired of listening, closed her eyes, and fell asleep after a while.

When I woke up, it was exactly the time when the desert was lonely and the sun was setting on the long river, and the wind was much lighter than last night. After some rectification, the group set off again.

After walking for less than an hour, the horses no longer bumped back and forth, Zhou Yuele shook up, and the horse quickened his pace. Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, they could see a vast Gobi not far away, and everyone reined in their horses and went down to the Gobi Desert. Zhou Yuele searched according to the map and found a dark spring, and the water was only a line thick. When the horses smelled the smell of water, they all went to the edge of the spring, and Zhou Yuele and Qingyue's people used whips to drive them away, and they reasoned with people, they couldn't drink cold water immediately when they ran hot, otherwise they would hurt their hearts. Zhou Yuele took out the skin bag and began to receive water, and when the skin bag was almost full, the horse was almost rested, and Zhou Yuele began to drink the horse.

Zhou Yuele was extra attentive to this errand, and he even did such a small thing as drinking horses. Although Qingyue had already decided before leaving: no suspicion of employing people, no need for suspicious people, but looking at Zhou Yuele, who was busy before and after, Qingyue began to be unreliable again.

"How long will it take before we get to the Northwest Camp?" Qingyue played with the stones she picked up from the ground in her hand, and asked as she played.

Zhou Yuele handed the water bladder to others and replied, "Judging from the map, there will be half an hour." ”

Qingyue threw the stone in his hand, and after the stone drew an arc in the air, it landed in the distance. After throwing the stones, she quietly looked up at the stars in the sky, the sky was so beautiful, a little glimmer, the shadows were sufficient, and it was within reach. If you don't have a task, set up a tent, get an air mattress, and lie here and count the stars. With a long sigh in her heart, back to reality, she combed Zhou Yuele again, and didn't find anything wrong, she had come to this point, and she had to continue to believe him. After collecting her thoughts, Qingyue instructed: "Have a good rest and set off." Zhou Yuele replied, and then, everyone fell silent. Perhaps these few leisurely hours will be the last moments for some people. Along the way, Qingyue could feel this tension and panic all the time.

Qingyue took out the dry food from the backpack, and ate most of the dry food with water. Others, some silently followed her with dry food, some drew their sabers and wiped them carefully, and some stared blankly into the distance......

Midnight came, Qingyue got on the horse, her men were well-trained, and the horse was waiting for her in the morning. Although she knew that she was going to die, she was determined to die, worthy of a well-trained team, and she had to thank that Doctor Jia for his skill. If she wants to change Wang Yi's people, she really can't guarantee that there will be deserters at this time, which is also one of the reasons why she doesn't move the Shaanxi and Gansu soldiers and only brings Dr. Jia.

"You have been with me for a long time, and you have also seen my methods, and many of the people who followed me into Zhoujiabao have returned. This time, although it is dangerous, I am 70% sure, I can't say that everyone can come back, but I will definitely let most of them come back. After Qingyue finished speaking, she observed their expressions one by one.

"I want to listen to the girl!" The first person to show loyalty was the person who accompanied Qingyue to Yanchun Courtyard to find Wang Yi, and the others followed.

"Good! For public and private purposes, we must win this battle. If we lose this battle, even if we survive, you know that not only you, but also me, we will not live long. Qingyue's eyes showed a chill, except for Zhou Yuele, everyone's hearts shrank, and they knew very well what Qingyue was referring to.

The wind was clear and the night was clear, galloping all the way, as Zhou Yuele said, half an hour later, Qingyue and his party could already see the faint northwest camp, surrounded by black and oppressive troops. At this time, Qingyue began to arrange the tasks, and after arranging them one by one, she asked Zhou Yuele if she had any objections to this arrangement, Zhou Yuele hugged her fists and said: "Zhou, swear to die!" ”

After getting the complete task, Qingyue's people seemed to be at ease, the people who rolled on the tip of the knife were particularly sensitive to danger, Qingyue's arrangement made them see the opportunity to live, not only that, but this may also be a great opportunity to make contributions.

Qingyue took Zhou Yuele and the Northwest sergeant Ah Da who broke out of the siege to change into Mongol clothes and prepare to break into the camp. The remaining ten horsemen ran from east to north, the other ten from north to east, all dragging thick smoke bombs behind their horses, and the last five horsemen lay in ambush on the west side of the camp, waiting for the opportunity. Seeing the billowing smoke rising, Qingyue signaled to Zhou Yuele, and Zhou Yuele shot a rocket into the air, and the rocket entered the air and could be seen five miles away.

Immediately, the Mongolian military camp, the Northwest battalion exploded. Then, they slaughtered a large group of Mongol cavalry in front of them, and the speed of the march was unimaginable. Zhou Yuele made a whistle, twenty horsemen, smoke bombs after cutting off the horse's buttocks, and fled in all directions. The Mongol cavalry broke into the smoke with a snap of their fingertips, and the three of them managed to blend into the back of the group. Looking at the few people fleeing in all directions, the leader reined in the horses and only ordered a team of men and horses to chase after them, and the rest of the people stood by. The chasing team had just gone out half a mile when the military camp on the west side caught fire, and the leader screamed, and everyone ran to the camp.

Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately she still followed the script. The three of them pretended to shoot horses and followed the team back to fight the fire, rushed into the barracks, and before their feet landed, smoke rose in the distance, and the Mongols led by them shouted, and the Mongols got on their horses again and killed them again. Qingyue and the other three took the opportunity to abandon the horses and blend into the camp, just saw a bundle of arrows on the ground, Qingyue signaled, the three of them carried two bundles each, and swaggered to the front of the northwest camp.

The northwest camp is brightly lit, and there are many shadows on the lookout, and there are people running and walking around, muskets, bows and arrows are all on standby, just waiting for the reinforcements to arrive, they will kill out of the camp, and kill the Mongol army. But the coach Heguoli couldn't understand, there were people for a while, there was no one for a while, he opened the Western telescope, there seemed to be only a dozen people in the distance, he saw his heart beating wildly, thought twice, did not dare to rush into battle, sent a thousand people to test it, but was killed by the Mongols and retreated, and the smoke in the distance disappeared.

"Boss, boss! Ah Da is back. The adjutant general didn't care about it, he didn't have a report, and he didn't have to enter without permission, so he broke in with Qingyue and the other three.

"Ah? Rushing out to report the news? Hegory was so anxious that several lieutenants hurriedly supported him.

Qingyue waited for Heguoli to stand still before taking out the tiger talisman from his arms and said, "Heguoli listens to the tune." ”

Heguoli was stunned for a moment, looked at the tiger talisman carefully, knelt down and said, "Please allow the old man to offend, the old man wants to check the talisman." ”

Qingyue handed the tiger talisman to Heguoli, who took the talisman and took out the other half from his arms, and the two checked each other, and there was no difference. He respectfully handed the tiger talisman back: "Offended!" ”

Qingyue put away the tiger talisman and said coldly: "Marshal He, I now order you to burn the granary!" Not a single one to stay! ”

Heguoli was shocked and dropped the tiger talisman in his hand to the ground, lost the military rations, and was sure to die, is this woman crazy?

Seeing that everyone in the big tent was looking at him with a shocked expression, Qing Yue asked, "Marshal He, if the Mongolian army gets military rations, what do you think will happen to them?" What if they don't get rations? ”

Hegory sat down on the ground, closed his eyes, and waited for a long time before asking, "Girl, is there any other way?" ”

Qingyue nodded: "There are only 50,000 Shaanxi and Gansu troops, and they can't all be brought out, if they come out, the Shaanxi and Gansu portals will not be guaranteed." This is a great relationship, Marshal He, you don't know it. The Sichuan army, the road is long, and the Mongols will not let us wait for theirs. ”

Hegory was silent, and in the past two days, the Mongols attacked like crazy, and he lost another 20,000 horses.

Stop, stop, that's how it should be.

Heguoli got up from the ground, put aside the adjutant general who was helping him, stood on the platform himself, and instructed the adjutant general in his hand: "You go and prepare combustible materials, General Li is in charge of the granary in the east, General A is in charge of the granary in the west, and General Chu is in charge of the granary in the south, and there must be no grain of rice left." Violators will be dealt with by military law! “

"Marshal, please think again!" The three fell to their knees.

Qingyue said: "Marshal He, we set fire to the grain, and the Mongols will come to put out the fire, let the soldiers lie in ambush on both sides, and when they put out the fire, we will ambush them." ”

Heguoli hugged his fist at Qingyue and said, "Thank you girl for your kindness." Then he commanded, "Do as the girl says." An hour later, set fire to the camp, and if you are tired, it will be like an arrow! Hegoli said as he broke the arrow.

An hour later, the northwest camp was on fire.

After Alabutan threw down what could be broken in the tent, he rushed into the camp with his sword, and bows, arrows, and spears flew one after another, and he blocked the bow and arrows, and killed people when he saw them, and cut them when he saw them, and killed them in the firelight.

Qingyue asked Zhou Yuele to put on the Kong Ming lantern.

Seeing that the lights were on, the twenty horsemen outside released all the voles they had brought, and the voles ran to the Mongol camp with firecrackers and sparks behind them. The fire rose to the sky, illuminating the night like day.

Qingyue saw that the grain was almost burned, ran back to the tent, and instructed Heguoli: "Marshal, you can blow the horn and let everyone retreat." ”

Heguoli sat on the handsome seat with a well-dressed hat, pointed to the handsome case and said: "Girl, this is my handsome seal, this is my twist, please transfer it to the saint." ”

Qingyue's heart tightened, and then, black blood flowed from the corner of Heguoli's mouth, and it was impossible to redeem it. Ah Da, grinning and crying, crying and shouting to the marshal. Qingyue stepped forward and closed her eyes for Heguoli, and instructed Zhou Yuele to put away her things. Drawing the arrow, he ordered: "Retreat!" ”

General Lee took the token and turned around and walked out of the tent.

General A, General Chu knelt on the ground, and also presented letters and seals, and asked Qingyue to present things to Emperor Kangxi, and they had to die in battle to compensate for today's crimes. Qingyue looked at General A kneeling on the left hand side, and then at General Chu kneeling on the right hand side, and shouted: "Bold! It was my order to burn the grain storehouse, and by doing so, are you saying that I am wrong? ”

The two looked at each other and smiled miserably, and General A arched his hand to Qingyue and said: "Girl, although it was your order, but we were defeated first, and now we have lost the military rations of the Northwest Battalion, even if we can win this battle, our lives have long been lost, please girl fulfill our dignity." ”

Qingyue took the letters, tore them to shreds, and said coldly: "If you have anything to say, you will report to the emperor yourself, and I will not accompany you again!" ”

Zhou Yuele opened the way, led Qingyue to the horse, the horn sounded, Qingyue and Zhou Yuele borrowed a bow and arrow, ignited the arrow, and shot an arrow at the handsome tent, the handsome tent immediately burned, A and Chu ran out with a flutter. Qing Yue glanced at the two of them and ordered: Go!

The morning light rose, and the clear moon returned to the desolate northwest camp, the Mongols had retreated, and the dead bodies were stacked on top of each other, some of which had been burned and carbonized, and they were pitch black, and there was a strange smell. Qingyue didn't take two steps before she rushed to the side and began to vomit. The battlefield is a terrible place, where there are no ghosts or gods, only life and death. Zhou Yuele handed her half of the pickled rag, and Qingyue didn't care how dirty the rag was, she wiped her lips vigorously, trying to wipe everything clean.

When she calmed down a little, Zhou Yuele persuaded her: "Miss Qingyue, arrange this place, let's go back to Shaanxi and Gansu." ”

is with her mind, here, she can't stay for a moment, and if she stays any longer, she will definitely be depressed. Qingyue cleared her throat and asked Zhou Yuele to find the three deputy generals, and she wanted to leave here as soon as possible.

After the three arrived, Qingyue found a clean place and sat on the ground. Seeing this, the three of them immediately knelt down. Qingyue waved her hand and asked them to sit and talk back.

"How many people are left in the Northwest Camp now?" Qingyue asked.

General A replied: "There are still 30,000 left." ”

Qingyue nodded and ordered: "General A, I will leave a thousand men and horses for you, you stay here temporarily, every day, I will let Shaanxi and Gansu give you supplies, if the Mongols come again, you just run." But what's changing here, you have to return to Shaanxi and Gansu in time. ”

General A replied with orders.

Qingyue looked at Li and Chu, the two fought last night, one burned his eyebrows and beard, and the other injured his arm: "The two of you will go back to Shaanxi and Gansu Mansion with me, and the future will be decided after I report to the saint." ”

The faces of the two turned gray, but they still forced a word out of their mouths.

Qingyue found her own people and selected two, one went to the capital to report the news with her secret letter and Heguoli's song, and the other went to Sichuan to chase Dr. Jia. After the arrangement was made, Qing Yue returned to Shaanxi and Gansu with an army of 30,000.
