Chapter 392: Li Er's Wish
This attack was already in the evening, and the Yuan soldiers launched an even more fierce attack while the sun had not yet completely set in August.
All the generals of the Yuan soldiers gave death orders to their subordinates, and the Yuan soldiers had climbed up the city along the ladder, but they were all repelled by the indomitable Red Turban Army, and the entire north of Xuzhou City has become a purgatory on earth.
Mu Chong and Wen Xuan always insisted on fighting on the front line, Sesame Li didn't dare to rest for a moment, and Han Lingyue took the old and weak women and children in the city to continue to carry stones and make arrows.
As the saying goes, "one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion", the Yuan soldiers launched two successive fierce attacks ended in failure, until the sky was completely dark, and the troops retreated, and there were more than 7,000 casualties in just one day.
Some generals persuaded Tokhtok to repair and fight again for two days, but he was ordered to be beheaded by the furious Tokhtok in the name of disturbing the morale of the army.
"You are human beings, and the red turban thieves in the city are also human beings, and if you are tired, will they not be tired? Our Dayuan Imperial Court has soldiers and horses, pass on my commander's order, and send three elite soldiers to continue to attack the city tonight, even if you want to boil this Xuzhou City, you have to boil down this Xuzhou City for me! ”
There were examples of being beheaded in the past, and no one dared to persuade them anymore, so they could only continue to attack Xuzhou at night as ordered.
I have to say that although the order to get off has brought great casualties to the Yuan soldiers, it has already exhausted the Red Turban Army in the city in just one day, and even Mu Chong complained while wiping his sweat: "After so many dealings with the Yuan thief, this is really the most difficult one to deal with." ”
Wen Xuan sat paralyzed beside the battlements at the head of the city and asked with a smile, "Brother Mu, have you ever thought that we would lose?" ”
Mu Chong shrugged his shoulders and looked indifferent: "Didn't you say a long time ago that Xuzhou couldn't hold it?" I have always believed your words, so I have long been ready to defeat the battle. ”
Wen Xuan glanced around to both sides and pointed to the blood stains all over the ground: "But if you lose this time, you will probably die......"
Mu Cheng burst out laughing: "I didn't expect our Xuan Gongzi to be afraid of death." ”
He leaned back and leaned back with joy, and a few tears flowed from his eyes.
Wen Xuan looked at him with a smile, and when he finished laughing and wiped his tears, he said slowly: "I'm a person who died once, so I'm not afraid, I'm just afraid that I will lose you forever." ”
Mu Chong stopped laughing when he heard this, and sighed: "Why did you suddenly say such a thing?" With your ability, even if Xuzhou is lost by then, it will be enough to escape, right? ”
Wen Xuan turned around and looked at the scene of flags rolling outside the city and said, "But I'm not sure I can rescue you and Miss Han too." ”
Mu Chong glared at him and said, "It has always been our Mu family's people who protect your Wen family, why did you change again?" ”
While the two were talking, Sesame Li walked over from not far away: "Two hall masters, can you go with Li?" ”
Wen Xuan and Mu Chong glanced at each other, not knowing where Sesame Li was going to take them, but they still nodded and agreed to follow him.
Sesame Li led the two of them down from the city, and then found a house in the alleyway.
There was a young mute living in the house, and when he saw Sesame Li coming in, he greeted them cheerfully, saluted the three of them, and led them into the house.
Mu Chong asked, "Li Qianhu, it seems that you are very familiar with this place?" ”
Sesame Li nodded: "The two of you don't know, this was the foothold of the master of Han Tang in Xuzhou, and I discussed here with him for many days and nights, and later in order to avoid the search of the Yuan soldiers, I brought my subordinates to Xiao County, so this place was idle, this person is my righteous son, and he will help me take care of this place." ”
After Sesame Li explained, the mute Yizi had already brought a pot of hot water to make tea for everyone.
Wen Xuan thanked him and looked at Sesame Li: "You put down your military affairs late at night and brought the two of us here, you must have something important to say, right?" Why didn't you invite the saints with you? ”
Only then did Sesame Li say his purpose: "Although I don't have much time with the saint, I can also see that she is a heroine, and she is very similar to the character of the master of the Han Hall. ”
Mu Chong frowned and said, "What are you talking about?" Human life is at stake, and anyone's life is equally precious, if it really comes to the day when the city is broken, everyone will work together to break through. ”
"Breakout?" Sesame Li smiled and shook his head: "If we all escape, what will the heroes of the world think of our Mingjiao?" Who will accompany the brothers who died in Xuzhou? ”
Mu Chong said suspiciously: "It's not death, it's not escape, you really want to confuse me!" ”
Sesame Li explained: "I, Li Er, am just a nameless person, but the two are different from the Holy Maiden, as long as the Ming Sect still has your leader, then none of us will die in vain." ”
Wen Xuan squinted and said, "So what do you mean...... Let's take the holy woman out of the city first? It's too late to evacuate, right? ”
Sesame Li smiled: "This is the purpose of bringing the two of you here, please come in with me." ”
Sesame Li stood up and walked to the inner room, and Wen Xuan and Mu Chong also followed.
When Sesame Li lifted Yizi's futon, Wen Xuan and Mu Chong found that there was a secret passage inside!
Wen Xuan narrowed his eyes, the layout here was exactly the same as the bedroom layout of Han Shantong in Bailu Village.
"It seems that this should be the escape secret designed by Hall Master Han before his death."
Sesame Li nodded: "Yes, you can go straight to the outside of Xuzhou City from here, and when the city is broken, I hope that the two protective saints will escape from here." ”
Mu Chong immediately asked, "What about you?" ”
Sesame Li smiled freely: "Li just said, I grew up here and should die here, and those brothers who died in battle are still waiting for me to go on the road together!" ”
"Even so, why don't you just bring the Holy Maiden here?"
Sesame Li looked at Wen Xuan when he heard this: "Presumably, the master of the Wen Hall understands our saint's temperament better, right?" She will never leave the brothers in the city to escape alone, so I ask the two of you to rescue the holy woman when the time comes, whether it is tied up or tied, otherwise if she makes any mistakes, Li will have no shame to face Brother Han when he arrives under Jiuquan. ”
Wen Xuan and Mu Chong understood how loyal Sesame Li was to the Han family, nodded and asked him if he had anything else to entrust.
Sesame Li shook his head first and then spoke: "Li's life wish has been fulfilled, but I also ask the master of Wentang to promise Li one thing." ”
Wen Xuan nodded: "Li Qianhu, please speak." ”
"Master Han once talked to me about the saint before his death, and he claimed that he owed a lot to the saint for the sake of Mingjiao, and only hoped that one day she could live the life of an ordinary woman, so after you escaped from Xuzhou, please be sure to persuade the saint to hide her name from now on."
