265. Helpless
Originally, the daily wartime meeting was not held, but everyone unconsciously gathered outside Liang Lie's main camp.
It's just that Feng Yue, Lu Ao, and Ding Xionghui stood in one place and didn't say a word. The little school has come out for the second time and let everyone disperse, but everyone still has no intention of leaving, and it seems that they all want Liang Lie to give an explanation.
Nangong Jin leaned against the wall and looked at everyone. I wanted to ask Feng Yue about the situation, but when I saw that the three of them were not close, I already knew the result. Moreover, the flesh and blood stumps in a place outside the south gate have long explained the situation.
General Han must have been martyred, and the rest is nothing more than how many soldiers died. How many soldiers are left in the city? Three hundred on each side of the city gates, not less. That's all there is to it. Nangong Jin sighed secretly in her heart, can you still keep it?
Standing here, no one is talking. Just silently in the dark, I don't know what I'm waiting for.
After another stick of incense, Zhang Maocai looked happy, and hurriedly came from the outer city wall, followed by a woman. Nangong Jin looked up, was stunned, and suddenly jumped up. Yao Fangyu! I saw that Zhang Maocai didn't look at everyone, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said to the colonel standing guard at the gate of the main camp: "There is a military intelligence report." ”
Everyone at the door watched the two of them enter with surprised expressions. Not long after Yao Fangwei and Zhang Mao entered, the school came to inform everyone to go in.
In the main barracks, Liang Lie was pointing to the map centered on Tianchengwei and asking something, and Yao Fangyu kept nodding and recounting. Zhang Maocai saw everyone come in, and said excitedly: "Tartar is an empty camp!" Empty camp! There aren't many people at all!
"What's going on?" Lu Ao looked at Zhang Maocai puzzled.
Nangong Jin took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, and walked behind Yao Fangyu in a few steps.
"Miss Yao is back, coming back through the Tartar camp." Zhang Maocai announced loudly.
Nangong Jin frowned, she was embarrassed to come forward and ask anything at this time, so she had to take a few steps back and slowly move behind everyone, when she didn't know anything.
Liang Lie looked at Yao Fangyu, "Say it." ”
Yao Fangyu nodded, "That day, when Master and I left, we left from the corner of the west and south. Then we passed through the western and southern camps, both of which were full of soldiers, and as far as I could see, the tents were full of people. Today, I want to come back from here as well. However, in the south, he found a tent with more signs of the White Lotus Sect, so he secretly withdrew and walked west. ”
"When I entered the camp on the west side, it was dinner time, and I found that there were no tents, but there were only campfires and no one, and I even saw a few soldiers lighting fires in front of each camp. When I went through the camp, I felt that there was no sound, so I secretly looked at a few, but there was really no one. The area I walked through, there was no one at all. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the map again, southwest to the west side, "Here, no one." It wasn't until I left the camp that I saw cavalry patrolling. There were scattered soldiers to the south, so I went west again along the main camp, but there was no one on the way except for the occasional patrol cavalry, until it came here," he said, pointing again to the map.
"There were a lot of soldiers over there, and there were voices in the camp, so I didn't go there. Wait until it gets dark, and from here," he pointed again, "directly under the city walls." I thought that the west side of the city might be seen, so I chose the south side, where there were soldiers, but they stood far away, and there was no fire. I don't think they'll necessarily see me. Fortunately, halfway through the climb, General Zhang found me and pulled me up. ”
Lu Ao breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, Miss Yao didn't come directly because there were few people in the south." ”
"What's wrong?" Yao Fangyu was puzzled.
Chen Baishui smiled slightly, "Miss Yao is lucky. ”
Everyone else stared straight at Lu Ao, afraid that he would say something that would scare Yao Fangyu. Lu Ao also found out, so he had to mutter: "It's nothing, it's just, it's nothing......." ”
Yao Fangyu smiled and said: "You still have to climb the wall, of course, you can't let the Tartars find out before this, it's best not to touch anyone." ”
Lu Ao gave a thumbs up, "It's still Miss Yao, you were the first to come in from the outside after the siege." ”
"So, so, we can go from here, right? Can we break through, break through from here? Zhang Maocai pointed to a place on the map, said anxiously, and looked at Liang Lie expectantly.
Liang Lie had been thinking about something, and finally sighed, "It's not that it can't, but this gap is very small, and it's no problem for Fang Wei to live alone, but our army, that is, we must be careful not to step into the southern ...... formation, and it cannot be discovered by the enemy army to the west. It's difficult. ”
"You can try, a few people and a few people go out ......." Zhang Maocai was really anxious.
"We have so many people, a few people, a few people, when are we going to go?" Lu Ao couldn't help but say.
"Then, then fight! Anyway, this piece is an empty camp. Zhang Maocai did not give up.
Feng Yue and Lu Ao glanced at each other and shook their heads at the same time, "The enemy's speed is too fast, we may not be able to outrun them." "They were referring to the hundreds of monsters outside the city.
"You, you're scared! Obviously there is a good way to go, but this is not good, that is not good! Zhang Maocai said angrily.
Chen Baishui stood on the periphery silently, like an outsider.
Feng Yue hesitated, if there was another incident during the day today, Tianchengwei really didn't have to guard it. So, he said to Liang Lie: "General Liang, the last general thinks that this matter should still be summed up." ”
Liang Lie nodded, he had just been teased once, this was the second time in the future? smiled at Yao Fangyu and said, "I'll have someone send you to the General Soldier's Mansion, your original courtyard." ”
"Uncle Liang, I want to defend the city with you." Yao Fangyu said firmly.
Liang Lie looked at her and was a little sad, "I know you are very well-behaved, Uncle Liang is sorry for you." ”
"I'm coming back on my own." Yao Fangyu insisted on not leaving.
Lu Ao walked up to her with a grin, "Miss Yao, the Tartars don't attack the city at night." We sleep at night, too, hahaha. You're going to stay here, the manager can't sleep. ”
Yao Fangyu blushed.
Lu Ao smiled even more happily, "In this way, anyway, I'll drop by and send Miss Yao to Miss Yao casually." ”
"What are you going on?" Jin Jianchang quipped.
"Everywhere in the city, it's a drop." Lu Ao made up his mind to send Yao Fangyu.
"Send me later." Kim Jianchang laughed.
Nangong Jin had almost retreated to the door, turned his head, and didn't look at the laughter of the few people inside.
Yao Fangyu stood behind Liang Lie with some embarrassment, lowered his head, and did not look at the young generals in the field.
Finally, Liang Lie spoke, "Let's discuss the breakout again." Nangong Jin, you send Fang Wei back to the General Soldier's Mansion first, and then come back immediately. ”
"Ah, this ......." Nangong Jin didn't move, and when he saw that everyone looked back at him, he didn't say any more.
"Uncle Liang, I know the General Soldier's Mansion, so I don't need to send it." Yao Fangyu spoke.
"At night, it's not safe without lights." Then, Liang Lie stared at Nangong Jin who was standing at the door, and ordered again: "Go and come back quickly." ”
Lu Ao jumped out again, "Boss, this kind of thing, I'll just go." ”
Jin Jianchang patted him, "You, forget it." “
Nangong Jin had no choice but to say to Yao Fangyu: "Miss Yao, please." ”
Yao Fangyu smiled and walked out.
Lu Ao shouted to Nangong Jin behind him: "You kid has a better attitude, don't look reluctant." ”
**********
The two of them went one after the other, and they did not speak until they got off the city wall.
"Uncle Liang is my father's comrade, and I have known him since I was a child." Yao Fangyu walked behind Nangong Jin and said, regardless of whether he listened or not.
"Oh." Nangong Jin nodded.
Again, there are no words. The General Soldier's Mansion was very close, and the two stood at the door, and no one knocked on the door. Finally, Nangong Jin said to Yao Fangyu: "I'll send you to the backyard." With that, he stepped forward and knocked on the door.
It was a long time before someone came in a hurry to open the door.
"Ah, second son." Uncle Gen opened the door, "There hasn't been much in the house these days. Come on in, won't you stay here for the night? ”
"No, I'll send Miss Yao back to the backyard, and I'll have something to do later." Nangong Jin replied with a smile.
Uncle Gen saw Yao Fangyu at this time, "What, why is Miss Yao back?" ”
Nangong Jin said to Uncle Gen again: "Let's go in first." I have to trouble Uncle Gen to wait for a while, and I will come out immediately. ”
"Good, good."
When the two entered the mansion, they still didn't say anything, but the road to the backyard was much closer than from the city to the general soldier's mansion. The backyard was pitch black and uninhabited. The two stood still in this courtyard for a long time, not knowing what to say.
"Shall I borrow some silver from you?" Yao Fangyu asked.
"How much?"
After hesitating for a long time, Yao Fangyu still spoke: "Thirty thousand taels." I know the numbers are big, but, I'll pay it back. ”
Nangong Jin was embarrassed, opened her mouth and didn't say anything.
"I'm sorry, I asked you to borrow money at this time, if you are embarrassed, it doesn't matter." In the dark, Yao Fangyu didn't see his expression.
"It's a bit of a lot, and I need time to raise it." Nangong Jin thought for a while and said, "I have to leave here first." There's no hurry, right? ”
"Sorry for the trouble." Yao Fangyu lowered her head and shed tears.
"It's okay, it's not troublesome." Nangong Jin smiled and pretended to be relaxed: "Friends for so many years, it should be." "I didn't see her crying.
"Thank you."
"Well, I'm leaving." Nangong Jin turned around and walked a few steps, thought about it and came back again, "The General Military Mansion is not safe, I'll send you out of the city." ”
Yao Fangyu kept her head down, "Send me out of the city?" And then what? “
"Where's your master? Is he out of town, or is he back too? Nangong Jin only then thought that she shouldn't be the only one.
"Out of town."
"Okay, I'll send you out, you go with him." Nangong Jin stretched out her hand and wanted to pull her away, hesitated, and then took it back.
"What about you?"
"Oh, by the way, you'll take Baxi out in a moment." Seeing that she was just standing still with her head down, Nangong Jin urged, "Let's go." ”
"You—You're still back to defend the city?" Yao Fangyu continued to ask.
"I have received 300 soldiers, and I can't just leave. Besides, they may have come up with some way to break out, and since I have led the troops, I must also have a mission. Nangong Jin still said in a relaxed tone.
"Then you go quickly. If I'm going to go, I'll go on my own. ”
The two stood silently for a while, and Nangong Jin seemed to want to persuade her to go, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a fire in the northeast of the city. He muttered, "What's going on?" ”
"On fire?" Yao Fangyu turned around and saw that half of the sky was lit up by firelight.
Nangong Jin didn't hesitate any longer, and directly rushed out of the General Soldier's Mansion and ran in the direction of the firelight.
