The night on the grassland is very beautiful, the starry sky is bright, but it is full of dangers, the predators at night look for prey everywhere, start a battle between life and death, and at this time the plain city is even more so, there are torches everywhere, not only the plain city, even the gorge is also illuminated by torches as if it is daytime, the tragic battle is still continuing, Mo Yuan and other Mo soldiers holding crossbows continue to shoot the enemy troops who rushed in from the gorge.

Although Mo Yuan is not very old, he has mastered the repeater crossbow very proficiently, the crossbow itself has a very poor crosshair, but Mo Yuan's hit rate is very high, he and other Mo soldiers generally lie on the stone surface and continue to shoot the enemy in the gorge, but just as he was killing, a wooden ladder suddenly rested on the rock where he was, and the position of the wooden ladder was in the rear of Mo Yuan, Mo Yuan was concentrating on attacking those galloping cavalry, and he didn't pay attention to the wooden ladder behind him. And next to Mo Yuan, there was a soldier from the junior battalion who was about the same age as him, but neither of them noticed the existence of the wooden ladder.

A Hun soldier climbed up the rock along the wooden ladder, and saw Mo Yuan lying on the rock, and immediately raised the scimitar in his hand without hesitation and prepared to cut at Mo Yuan, and this scene happened to be seen by the soldier of the young battalion who had sensed it, and the young soldier immediately said urgently: "Mo Yuan, be careful~"

Saying that, the conditioned reflex continued to shoot the arrows on the crossbow at the Hun soldier, and the young soldier of the frightened youth battalion had already closed up, howling in his mouth, but the movement in his hand was not slow, and the lever of the crossbow was constantly pulled by him, until the arrows of the crossbow were shot out He still didn't seem to know, after all, although he was a member of the soldiers of the Mo army, he was only eleven or twelve years old, and this time was also the first time they had confronted the enemy.

Mo Yuan heard his partner's warning, and quickly turned his head to look behind him, only to see a Hun soldier holding a scimitar ready to cut him, but now the Hun soldier actually had several arrows stuck in his body, and one of them was actually stuck in the neck of the Hun soldier.

The Hun cavalryman was full of unwillingness, and pressed one hand on his neck, as if trying to plug the wound in his neck.

Mo Yuan kicked on the Hun soldier's body, directly kicked the Hun soldier off the rock, and then looked at the partner next to him who was still howling with his eyes closed, but his hand was constantly pulling the crossbow lever, he felt that he ran over and woke up the young soldier, and said urgently: "Sizai, don't scream, quick, which enemy has been killed by you, quickly, kill the enemy quickly." ”

When the young soldier named Sizai heard Mo Yuan's words, he cautiously opened his eyes, and when he saw Mo Yuan, he said happily: "Brother Mo Yuan, it's great that you're okay." ”

Mo Yuan took Sizai's hand and said gratefully: "Sizai, thank you for this, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I won't know what's going on if I die, okay, now the enemy is attacking us, let's kill the enemy first." ”

"Uh-huh, okay, kill the enemy." Seeing that Mo Yuan was fine, Si Zai nodded hurriedly, hurriedly changed his arrow box, and shot at the enemy under the rock.

Mo Yuan came to the wooden ladder on his stomach, and when he looked at it, he saw that one by one enemies were climbing up the wooden ladder, he did not hesitate to aim at the wooden ladder and directly pulled the crossbow from top to bottom, and suddenly an enemy soldier fell down from the wooden ladder with an arrow scream, and then Mo Yuan kicked the wooden ladder down without hesitation, and then looked at the rest of the gorge, a wooden ladder was densely built on the cliff, but fortunately, only the wooden ladders at the bottom of the raised rock layer were hooked, and there were many very high positions, Therefore, the Xiongnu and Donghu soldiers could not threaten the Mo army above at all, and the Mo army at the bottom, just like the rock where Mo Yuan was, needed to be alert to the danger of the enemy climbing up with a wooden ladder.

And the Huns and Donghu actually set up a wooden ladder to climb up, ready to climb the rock and fight with the Mo army above, but the Mo army is condescending, and there are boulders to block, under the full force of the Mo army, countless Hun soldiers and Donghu soldiers have been shot by arrows and fell, of course, there are some Mo soldiers because they did not pay attention, so let those Hun soldiers and Donghu soldiers climb the rock, many Mo soldiers have pulled out their swords and climbed the rock Hun soldiers and Donghu soldiers to fight, those Hun soldiers and Donghu soldiers in the defense to the teeth of the Mo army, Even in close combat, they could not take advantage, and more Hun cavalry and Donghu cavalry rushed towards the plain city with wooden shields.

On the way to Qin in Pingyuan City, the Qin army led by Ying Weilin camped with Bai Yamei and others by a river, at first Ying Weilin felt very wronged and angry because she was wronged by Mo Chen, so she urged the team to move forward quickly for two days, and even rested for only a few hours on the first night and rushed overnight, those Qin soldiers knew that their princess was angry, although they were bitter in their hearts, but no one dared to question, until tonight, Ying Weilin's heart was a lot more relaxed, It's just that they are already far away from Pingyuan City, and if they don't have to take care of Bai Yamei and the carload of children, I'm afraid they will be even farther away.

Thousands of Qin troops, hundreds of Mo army women's guards, and nearly 10,000 children in Plains City camped by the river, some children are too young, and now they are far away from home, crying one by one, making this camp very lively, even the wild wolves in the dark night heard the children's cry and thought it was their own kind, and the wild wolves couldn't help howling.

Ying Weilin, Bai Yamei and Xiaoyu sat around a fire, Ying Weilin was already annoyed in her heart, and when she heard the child's cry, she was even more irritable.

Ying Weilin threw the fire in her hand into the fire, and said with an unhappy face: "Sister Bai, you said that he didn't believe me, and I also admitted it if you let me take me back to Qin, but he let a large number of children follow us, what do you mean by this, is it to let these children annoy me?" ”

Of course, Bai Yamei knew who Ying Weilin was referring to, but Bai Yamei was reluctant to figure out that person's order, and shook her head lightly and said, "Sister Weilin, don't think nonsense, didn't the general say it?" These children are planned by the general to be sent to Houpu County, where they can read and write, and become the pillars of the future of the Mo army in the future, and when you are escorted back to Qin, I will take them to Houpu County. ”

Ying Weilin pouted and said aggrievedly: "Sister Bai, you don't have to comfort me, he just wants these children to annoy me, otherwise there are so many people in Pingyuan City, why doesn't he let others take these children to Houpu County, but let you take them, you must know that our Qin Kingdom is far away from Houpu County, and it is a crime to let you bring them all the way away!" He kicked me out, and then he annoyed me with the kids. ”

Bai Yamei took Ying Weilin's hand and comforted: "Okay, don't think about it so much, you don't know the general's personality, how could he do this, he must be very uncomfortable in his heart when he died so many war horses this time, how can I say which Xiaocui and those people were brought by you, he is sure that he is angry with you, and after a while, the general's anger will disappear, and he will naturally look for you to go back." ”

Speaking of Xiao Cui, Ying Weilin was even more angry, and said angrily: "Sister Bai, I am angry when you say this, you said that I rescued them from the hands of the Huns, and we have always been good to them. ”

When Bai Yamei heard this, she seemed to have caught something, and hurriedly said, "What? Which Xiaocui gang didn't you bring from the Qin State? I remember that you once said that they are the technicians of your Qin Kingdom! ”

Ying Weilin shook her head a little embarrassed and said, "Sister Bai, I'm sorry!" Don't be angry, in fact, those people I bumped into halfway when I went to Plains City, when they were being chased and killed by the barbarians, so I rescued them, and later learned that they would treat the war horses, I thought! Isn't there a shortage of such people in the silent army! As a gift to Brother Mochen Brother Mochen must be happy, so I lied to you and said that I brought it from the Qin State. ”

Ying Weilin's voice became smaller and smaller in the end, and she became more and more embarrassed, but then she said angrily: "I know which damn Xiaoyu is so ungrateful, I knew that I would have let those barbarians kill them in the first place." ”

Bai Yamei is not stupid, she felt that something was wrong when she heard it, and immediately stood up and said hurriedly: "It's bad, no, I want to go back, Sister Weilin, let's go back to Plains City." ”

"No, Sister Bai, you can't go back."

Xiao Yu, who had been silent all the time, heard Bai Yamei's words, and immediately woke up, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop in front of the two.

"Xiaoyu, why can't we go back? Xiaoyu, do you know anything? ”

Bai Yamei didn't expect Xiao Yu to stop herself, Xiao Yu didn't hesitate to say anything to herself before, let alone refute it, but now she actually stopped herself, she felt that something was wrong with Xiao Yu from the beginning, but she always thought that Xiao Yu was because of the war horse and left Plains City, this is the case, but the truth doesn't seem to be as she thinks.

Ying Weilin didn't want to leave, at first she really left Pingyuan City because she was aggrieved and angry in her heart, so she took Qin Jun out of Pingyuan City, when she calmed down, she already regretted leaving in a fit of anger, but there was no reason to go back, so she thought about going back to investigate Xiaocui is a pawn of Qin State who used herself to plant in the Mo Army, and now Bai Yamei said that she wanted to go back to Pingyuan City, and her idea that had just risen was extinguished by her, after all, to investigate this matter, she arranged for someone to go back and investigate! But she didn't expect that Xiao Yu, who had always been obedient to Bai Yamei, would actually stop them, which made her very puzzled.

Xiaoyu was stared at by Bai Yamei and Ying Weilin, and suddenly felt a little at a loss, and she didn't dare to look at Bai Yamei, her eyes were a little evasive, and she said in a low voice: "No...... No, Sister Bai, this is the general's explanation, let's escort Princess Qin back to Qin, and then take people to Houpu County, these are the general's orders, don't you disobey the general's order when you go back! ”

Although Xiao Yu also knows what Bai Yamei said, but this is not the answer that Bai Yamei wants to know, she has known Xiao Yu for several years, Bai Yamei knows Xiao Yu confidently very well, from Xiao Yu's evasive eyes she knows that this matter is definitely not that simple, and Xiao Yu must also know some things she doesn't know.

Bai Yamei took Xiao Yu's hand and said sincerely: "Xiao Yu, the two of us have known each other for so long, since you entered the Mo Army, I have always regarded you as my own sister, you tell me honestly, apart from this, do you have anything else to hide from me?" ”

"I ...... I...... Sister Bai, don't embarrass me, I can't say it. ”

Xiao Yu faced Bai Yamei's aggressive questioning, and wanted to say that she remembered her general's confession, and tears of anxiety flowed down.

"Why can't you say that? Tell me, is something happening in Plains City? ”

From Xiao Yu's words, Bai Yamei affirmed that Xiao Yu really had something to hide from her, and she was even more anxious at the moment.

Just when Bai Yamei was about to get to the bottom of it, a Qin Jun ran over quickly, clasped his fists at Ying Weilin and saluted: "Your Royal Highness Princess Qiyu, there is a man outside the camp who claims to be a bandit brother who asks to see Mofu...... Captain of the White Battalion. ”

"Bring him here!"

Ying Weilin raised her little head and said arrogantly, she naturally heard what Qin Jun wanted to say, but she didn't care about it, after all, she also recognized that she was also one of Mrs. Mo, but she was very puzzled that the three watches were in the wilderness in the middle of the night, how did this bandit brother find them, she didn't believe that the bandit brother was waiting for them here, they were in a hurry to return to the Qin country, and there was no news at all.

"Yes"

That Qin Jun found that His Royal Highness the princess did not hear his mistake, and he was very glad in his heart, and hurriedly took the order and left.

Bai Yamei is also very puzzled about how the bandit brother came here suddenly, but she knows that the bandit brother has been chasing the Hun Zuoxian King since the last time he fought with the Huns in the plain city, which is now the Hun King, although this is a few years, although it can be determined from some news that the bandit brother has been active in the territory of the Donghu people, but he has never met, since the bandit brother came, Bai Yamei forced Xiaoyu to hide his own affairs and can only say it later, how to say that the bandit brother is a person who has great kindness to the Mo army.

Soon, several Qin soldiers hurriedly walked over with a big man in a snow-white leather coat, although the big man had a lot of beard, his hair was also very scattered, and the white fur coat on his body was sticky with a lot of dried blood, which looked a little embarrassed, but Bai Yamei still recognized at a glance that the person was the bandit brother who had not seen him for many years.

Bai Yamei hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Brother bandit, what's wrong with you?" How did this happen? By the way, what about your other brothers? ”

Brother bandit seemed to be very happy to see Bai Yamei, and said with a smile: "This is not in the way, the other brothers are resting not far away, I heard the cry of children here, so I took a few brothers to check, and I saw the banner of your Mo army and the Qin army, just right, one of my brothers and the Qin army brothers who guarded the camp gate killed the enemy together when they were in Pingyuan City, and then we met, so we came to ask, and this question found that Her Royal Highness Princess Qin and the captain of the white camp were here, so I came over." ”

Hearing this, Bai Yamei and Ying Weilin also realized the mistake of their arrangement, those children cried too loudly, and it was even more obvious in this dark night, if someone around would definitely hear it, this is fortunately a bandit brother, if the enemy heard that it was coming in the dark, they were afraid that the consequences would be unimaginable, in fact, they should have thought of it a long time ago, but this is the road from Pingyuan City to Qin State, that is to say, this is still the territory of the Mo army, and they will not go to the idea that there will be no enemies at all.

Bai Yamei smiled a little embarrassed, and then said: "By the way, big brother bandit, I heard that the Donghu people and the Huns you are engaged in in Donghu are not at peace, why did you suddenly come back now?" ”

Speaking of this, the bandit brother suddenly remembered the purpose of looking for Bai Yamei, and slapped his head and said hurriedly: "By the way, Miss Bai, where is General Mo now?" ”

Bai Yamei was puzzled: "The general is still in Plains City, what's wrong?" Brother bandit, do you have something to do with the general? ”

"There's something, there's something big, let's hurry up and go to Pingyuan City to inform General Mo, it's too late." The bandit brother didn't wait for Bai Yamei to ask, so he said: "A month ago, we learned that the Xiongnu and Donghu were assembling a large army and preparing to attack Pingyuan City, and we also knew that there was an elite army of the Mo army in Donghu that was fighting with the Xiongnu and Donghu tribes, and gradually devoured the territory of the Donghu people. Then he went to Plains City from the northwest direction of Plains City, which also bypassed the most elite army of the Mo Army, and planned to sneak attack Plains City without knowing it. ”

When Bai Yamei heard this, her whole person suddenly trembled, thinking of the poisoned war horse in Plains City, the burning baggage warehouse, and Mo Chen's abnormal behavior, she seemed to understand, but she still looked at Xiao Yu who bowed her head and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Yu, you know all this, right?" ”

Xiao Yu was already in tears at this time, and when she heard Bai Yamei's question, she couldn't help but kneel in front of Bai Yamei, and cried: "Woo woo, Sister Bai, Xiao Yu didn't mean to hide it from you, this is the general's order Xiao Yu can't say, in fact, the matter of the war horse, what happened in Pingyuan City has been investigated, this matter is not at all blamed for the matter of the princess, Xiao Cui also confessed, the Xiongnu and Donghu gathered all the men and horses of the two clans, except for the soldiers who stayed behind to confuse General Le Jian's front line, the rest of the people rushed to Pingyuan City, and the defenders of Pingyuan City were insufficient, Most of the arrows were also transported to the former army of Le Jian, and some of them were burned, and the war horses were gone, although the general sent people to transfer General Le Jian to lead the army back to the plain city, but the distance was too far, the general didn't know if he could hold the plain city this time, so he asked Sister Bai and Princess Win to leave with the children of the plain city, the general said that these children were the hope of our Mo army, and the general knew that if you were told the truth, you would definitely not leave, so you would plan it and frame it was the so-called Qin State to force the princess of Qin away, In fact, on the day we left Pingyuan City, the Xiongnu and Donghu armies were only one day away from Pingyuan City. ”

Bai Yamei and Ying Weilin only felt a bang in their heads, they couldn't believe this fact, and they didn't want to believe it, but they had to believe it.

"No, I'm going back, I'm going to help the general." Bai Yamei didn't care about blaming Xiaoyu for hiding her, and ran directly to her barracks.

There was a figure who left one step faster than her, and that person was Ying Weilin.

Ying Weilin ran and said loudly: "It is reported that the whole army is urgently assembled and returned to Plains City with this princess, except for military armor, blades, war horses, and three-day rations, the rest are not needed." ”

Xiao Yu saw Bai Yamei running towards her barracks and hurriedly chased after her, but before she could reach the camp, Bai Yamei had already rushed out on a war horse, and Bai Yamei's words echoed in the black.

"Xiaoyu, I order you as the battalion leader, you take the personal guard battalion and send those children to Houpu County."

Then there was the sound of continuous horses' hooves, and a team of Qin army soldiers rode war horses and rushed out of the camp tent under the leadership of Ying Weilin, and in less than a cup of tea, there were only nearly 10,000 children and hundreds of female soldiers in the camp left in the originally lively camp, and the Qin army did not even have time to clean up the camp tent.
