Chapter Twenty-Nine: No Fall

The night was already deep, the mountain wind was filled with the smell of gunsmoke, the small city was full of blood, on the city wall, most of the exhausted defenders had fallen asleep, and the rest sat on the ground in a daze, listening to the whirring wind in their ears, missing the people in their memories, and wondering if there was a chance to see each other again in this life. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The streets of the city were littered with burning and collapsing houses on both sides, round stone bullets rolling everywhere, and arrows flying from unknown places. In the embers, the "crackling" sound of the burning wood sounding so clear in the night that occasionally someone hurried by, and would not take a second look, let alone ambulance, because no one knew whether the city would be protected in the next moment.

The few intact houses in the city were full of wounded soldiers, and a few langzhong in long robes were constantly busy, trying to prolong the lives of these people, hoping to survive the moment when reinforcements arrived, but even the wounded soldiers knew in their hearts that this day would not come.

"Zhizhai." The curtain hanging at the door of the house was lifted, and a figure came in, and the Lang Zhong seemed to be surprised, and no one felt abnormal, only when he passed by, he called out in a low voice.

"How's it going today?" Hu Youhuang walked up to a Lang Zhong who was boiling medicine and asked softly.

"Carry out six, and a few are afraid that they won't survive tomorrow, there is not much left of the wound medicine, and I have to prepare some for you, it really can't be done, I can only reduce it, those who are hopeless, I'm afraid it's ......" Lang Zhong shook his head and didn't say any more, the meaning was already obvious, Hu Youhuang was stunned for a long time, and he didn't know what else to do.

Who can know that a small Hengshan village, with less than 5,000 soldiers and horses, has been holding out for more than half a month under the siege of ten times the number of Tartars, and now half of the dead and wounded have already passed, and there are only more than 2,000 people who can hold knives and guns, all of which depend on this strong city under their feet.

The city is not big, it is easier to defend, and as a border village, it has a complete defense system and sufficient ordnance, food and grass, Hu Youhuang, the chief officer, not only dares to stand on the head of the city, but also shares weal and woe with the guards, without the slightest shelf, so that even if there are some people with other thoughts, they can only wait for reinforcements wholeheartedly, or the moment when the city is broken.

"Xiao Liunian has been thinking about you for a day, go see him." Hu Youhuang raised his head suddenly, and what he saw in Lang Zhong's eyes was the regret of being powerless, and he immediately understood that Xiao Liu was also one of the ones who would be carried out tomorrow.

Despite this, he still restrained his emotions, starting from the first one in the house, slowly looking over, helping him press the corner of the quilt when he was asleep, awake, comforting or feeding the decoction with his own hands, this kind of thing he would do again every day, originally there was still some intention of acting, but over and over again, watching those young faces slowly pass away in his arms, it felt as if his relatives had died, tearing his heart apart, and reshaping his soul.

Xiao Liu was just a young ordinary sergeant, not an entourage who came with him, but the reason why he was lying here was because the seemingly small wound on his chest was left for him. If it weren't for that block, the person lying here at the moment should be himself, maybe he would have been carried out and burned down, and his body was not so strong.

"Zhizhai." Hear the noise,

I'm sorry, I didn't have time to finish writing, ignore the following, and apologize to all the friends who subscribed......

"You originally thought that Ben Shuai detained those people because he wanted to gather soldiers and horses, and then went to cast the Tartars?"

"Almost, you're not doing it properly."

Sure enough, that's why he insisted on coming to see him, saying that it was a question or a confirmation, and he always had to see it with his own eyes to rest assured, he was really an interesting person. Liu Yu shook his head, pushed away the soldiers around him, and wanted to take a step forward, but Wu Laosi's feet seemed to be rooted, and he didn't move at all, so he had to give up.

"Since Ben Shuai's approach is not in accordance with the rules, then where are you going to go?"

"Go to the Si Ya to persuade those people, with them coming forward, things will go more smoothly." Ma Ji did not hesitate at all, Liu Yu was even more puzzled, and his face was puzzled.

"A certain one said that it was not in accordance with the rules, but he didn't say that it was not like this, Fu Shuai's meaning was understood by the officials, it was nothing more than that he wanted to give orders, and now the Tartars are strong, if we are still a plate of loose sand, this battle does not have to be fought and knows the result, although it is late now, it is better than doing nothing."

is a person who understands, Liu Yu suddenly thought, with this person's strength, if he didn't come, or stayed in the rear after coming, I was afraid that he would do this, a person who didn't even pay attention to Lu Shuai, how could those people take it seriously, understand it, how could he understand his true intentions.

"No need, those people haven't been put in Ben Shuai's eyes yet, you can come and take a look." Since he couldn't get by, he beckoned the other party to come over, and this time although Wu Laosi was vigilant, he didn't make any further moves to stop it.

"This ......"

Ma Ji had already heard the movement under the city, but when he really looked down from the city tower, he was still shocked, and he knew that the military formation of nearly 40,000 people was neatly arranged, except for the red that could not be seen at a glance, there was nothing else, what a scene.

"If you were to lead the army, how would you fight?"

"Make good friends, harass along the way, back to the fortified city, and lure the enemy here." Liu Yu glanced at him in surprise, he didn't expect that the guy who looked like a rough man could summarize it so exquisitely.

"There are only more than 50,000 Tartars, and the number of people here is not small, can't you fight?"

"If there are thousands of people who can still fight against the danger, there are too many people, so it is better to hold on, otherwise once defeated, they will not even be able to escape."

This is said very bluntly, even Liu Yu understands, there are disadvantages of a large number of people, once the formation collapses, it will be difficult to recover, this scene is vividly interpreted in Ding Jiazhou, if it is not for the will to fight, no matter what, the 90,000 army will not be able to defeat so quickly.

The reason is right, but it is not suitable for use here, Liu Yu can not explain to him, the Yuan people's offensive is not in more than one place, although the middle route army has not yet been launched, but once it moves, it is the momentum of thunder, for the Guangnan West Road, their biggest enemy is not from Yunnan, here is only suitable for a quick battle, in order to free up their hands to deal with a greater crisis.

"Where's Hengshanzhai?" Liu Yu's words surprised Ma Ji, it's all at this time, can there be other results?

"The Tartar may be luring the enemy, or it may be flawless, no matter what the reason, the commander must go, and the loyal and brave should not be abandoned, otherwise who else is willing to ...... for this country" Liu Yu faced a sea of red, the glow shone on his body with golden light, and his arm waved lightly towards his head: "To die?" ”

What Ma Ji saw in his eyes was a resolute look, and suddenly he couldn't say anything, if other civil officials said this, it may be a big reason to fool people, but from Liu Ziqing's mouth, he believed.

The night sank quickly, and when the reckless green mountains turned into black shadows one after another, Shi Zhong and a few people flashed out of the residence, which was a bamboo stilted building, the body of which was tied to several large trees, and the bottom was supported by thick bamboo, in order to prevent the attack of wild beasts.

The man called Ah Xi is on his side, the terrain in this area is very familiar to this person, even at night, he can still point out the general direction, otherwise even if there is a night vision device, it is still impossible to avoid a fork in the road, this is not the mainland, there is no official road as a reference.

The place where they live is about twenty miles away from the target, and the people who walk at night become scarce, but it is by no means nothing, whenever this time, Shi Zhong will gently pull Ah Xi, and a few people dodge a little on the side, after a few times, Ah Xi finally understands what the strange thing on the head of this Shangguan is for.

After some exploration, when the camp of the Yuan people appeared in his eyes, it was the destination, Shi Zhong roughly estimated, and he walked about halfway, so there are almost ten miles from here to the target, and there is no movement at all at such a distance with the naked eye, even the clairvoyant mirror is only afraid and difficult, and the slender tube on the head is a vast green piece when looking at the past, which is basically meaningless.

It is impossible to go any further, even if it is to go elsewhere, it will be almost the same, the camp of the Yuan people is almost arranged with the goal as the center, Shi Zhong is not willing to return in vain, he thought about recruiting a few people to his side.

"Ah Xi stay, the two of you go forward a little, choose a higher position to hide, wait until dawn, see if you can see it, if it still doesn't work, then go back, let's think again."

This night is so long, for fear of oversleeping, the two of them can only come in turns, Shi Zhong squinted, did not dare to fall asleep, and waited until Ah Xi touched him, and quickly opened his eyes, and a piece of fish belly white appeared on the horizon, and the mountains in the distance gradually turned cyan, he pasted the clairglass to his eye socket and aimed at the front without blinking.

With the increase of light, the lens is getting clearer and clearer, it is too far away, thanks to the Hengshan cottage built on a high place, there is a small shadow in the lens, but no matter how he adjusts, he just can't go further, it is difficult to judge whether there is anyone on the city wall, but he faintly feels that something is moving.

Is it the Yuan people or the Song people? Shi Zhong held his breath and tried to distinguish, the small shadow was bare, like a small square, his spy nerves suddenly became sensitive, something was wrong, it seemed that something was missing, he took his eyes off the camera, inadvertently glanced at the camp of the Tartars, and immediately reacted.
