Chapter 133: Hold on to Death
After getting out of the city, Liu Xi hadn't taken a few steps when he saw a white figure rushing towards him, and when he looked closely, it was the little girl Wu Shuang'er. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Childe, are you hurt?"
The words were full of concern, blinking her big red and swollen eyes, constantly looking back and forth on Liu Xi's body, thinking that this night's battle also made her tremble.
Seeing the little girl, Liu Xi's depressed heart had a little more warmth, and gently stroked her little head, "I'm fine, isn't it good, by the way, why did you come here, it's dangerous here, let's go back to the camp and stay." ”
"Sister Qin is taking care of Brother Dawu, Sister Xun'er and I are not at ease, so we came out to take a look, and by the way, we also brought the medicine box to do some healing for the injured soldiers."
The little girl said, pointed to the medicine box that she and Tian Xun'er were carrying on their bodies, and after saying this, she happened to see someone in the city supporting the wounded soldier down, and hurriedly threw Liu Xi aside, greeted her, and checked the condition very old-fashioned and cured.
After the first battle, there were many soldiers who were injured, Luo Shan recruited some Langzhong, but manpower was scarce after all, the little girl took the initiative to help, so she went with her, and Tian Xun'er was there, and she should not encounter anything in distress.
Thinking of this, Liu Xi stepped forward and said to Tian Xun'er, who was standing quietly, "Miss Xun'er, I'm going to bother you again." ”
Zhu lips pursed a smile, and there was a little more tenderness between her eyebrows, Tian Xun'er nodded slightly, and after Liu Xi thanked the horse and left, her eyes were full of tenderness, and endless worries appeared in Shui Ling's eyes.
"Drive!"
Perhaps most of the people had left the city, and the streets were much wider, but as far as the eye could see, many houses had been destroyed, and bricks and stones were scattered all over the ground.
In a pile of ruins, Liu Xi found Luo Shan, who was carrying a brick wall with a gray face, and hurriedly restrained the black horse running wildly under his crotch, "General Luo!" ”
Hearing the sound, Na Luoshan hurriedly trotted over, and didn't bother to pat off the dust on the armor, and saluted with Liu Xi's fists, "My lord, do you have something important to order your subordinates?" ”
"Are there any craftsmen in the city?"
"I wonder what kind of craftsman you are referring to?"
"Carpenters, blacksmiths, everything you can find."
With a slight frown, Luo Shan thought for a moment and said, "There are a few people in the city who are proficient in what the adults said, but I don't know if they are out of the city at this moment." ”
"Then chase me back."
Jumping off the horse, Liu Xi threw the reins to Luo Shan, and said undoubtedly, the latter also sensed that the matter was important, so he did not hesitate at all, and galloped away on the horse.
"Bring me pen, ink, paper, and inkstone."
Liu Xi walked towards a house on the side of the road, and said to Qu Lang beside him that he needed to draw a sketch in his head, and now that the house was empty, anyone could find tables and chairs.
After walking a few steps, I happened to see the stove that had been damaged to raise stones, and there were black charcoal blocks scattered all over the ground after the wood had been burned.
In the suspicious eyes of the others, Liu Xi stepped forward, picked up two pieces of black charcoal, and continued to walk to the side of the room with a thoughtful face.
Inside the house, Qu Lang, who knew Liu Xi's intentions, had already spread out the paper he had found, lit an oil lamp, and was lighting water to polish ink.
"Don't put pen to paper, I have something more convenient."
Hearing this, Qu Lang was naturally a little puzzled, and later, he saw the charcoal block held by Liu Xi in one hand drawing rapidly on the paper, and at this time, he realized that the charcoal block still had such a function.
Seeing that Liu Xi was concentrating on painting, Qu Lang put down the ink block in his hand, for fear that the subtle sound would disturb Liu Xi's thoughts.
The charcoal danced, the ink color jumped on the paper, and on the masonry under his feet, the crumpled paper balls were thrown more and more.
Outside the house, a violent panting suddenly sounded, and after a while, Luo Shan strode in, followed by dozens of craftsmen of different heights.
"Adult ......"
Luo Shan called, Qu Lang hurriedly shook his head at him, the latter immediately covered his mouth in understanding, and a group of people stood at the table, watching Liu Xi draw on the paper with fine eyes.
The lamp oil was gradually depleted, and the light of the fire was as subtle as a firefly worm, and the morning light that broke out of dawn shone through the wooden window, sprinkled in this simple room, and fell in front of the red-painted table.
"Click!"
A crisp sound broke the silence in the room, and everyone saw Liu Xi throw the little charcoal in his hand, and hurriedly took a few steps forward, leaning over to the table, so that they could see what was painted on the paper.
"Could this be a mechanical drawing?"
In the crowd, a man with a dark face and a slender figure muttered softly, he was a good iron striker in Yangqu City, and he had also built killing tools for the Rampage Brigade, so he had seen the mechanical map.
Hearing this, the rest of the people nodded thoughtfully, but the things drawn on the paper were unheard of, and they couldn't help but have doubts in their hearts, but Liu Xi didn't give them a chance to ask, and directly handed over the map to Qu Lang, "This is put by your side for the time being, this thing is very important, and it is related to whether you can keep Yangqu City, remember to keep it properly." ”
After that, he bent over to the craftsman on the side, "Fellow villagers, I hope to be ashamed of you, at this moment of death, General Pai Luo called you back to the city, it is really a helpless move, the map I drew is an unprecedented ordnance in the world, and I hope you can hurry up to make it, Yangqu City will rely on you!" ”
Liu Xi's salute suddenly shocked those craftsmen and sisters, and they couldn't help it, and even patted their chests to take over the ordnance manufacturing.
After a few more greetings, Liu Xi realized that before he knew it, it was already dawn, and a round of red sun tore through the thick clouds that covered the sky yesterday, leaping above the clear blue sky.
It's dawn, outside the city, maybe soon to attack.
Thinking of this, Liu Xi couldn't help but be shocked, explained a few words to Qu Lang, and then strode out like the wind, and soon, the sound of the hurried horse's hooves swept like the wind, and the farther and farther away it became inaudible.
"The adults bear heavy responsibilities and work hard day and night, which is really a blessing for the people, but the hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city, the court has not moved, and I don't know ......"
In the house, an old man with wrinkles on his face said, living to his age, some things have probably been seen through, otherwise he would not have heard that Luo Shan needed a carpenter, so he insisted on returning together.
The only pity that the old man felt was that he was in Yangqu City was full of war, and when the wind and rain were shaking, there was a Qincha who was dedicated to the people.
Of course, the rest of the room did not understand the meaning of the old man's regret, and after glancing at him dissatisfied, they looked in the direction of the city gate, where the sound of war drums and trumpets could be faintly heard.
"Are the Huns going to attack the city again?"
I don't know who said softly, and suddenly, the faces of several people changed, and their eyes were full of fear.
Holding the atlas in his hand, Qu Lang was very anxious in his heart, he understood that what Liu Xi could draw overnight from the city must be extremely important to the battle situation.
In the distance, he also heard the shouts, the war broke out again, and the city was naturally very tight, thinking of this, Qu Lang subconsciously grasped the map with both hands, and his eyes swept over everyone's faces, "Everyone, since my lord has ordered, I will hurry up and do it, maybe it is up to you to save Yangqu City." ”
"Yes, the rise and fall of Yangqu is a matter of conspiracy between you and me, even if you die, you must defend the city, and you can't let those Hu people trample on my Tang Dynasty!"
Luo Shan said fiercely, those craftsmen seemed to be infected, their faces were flushed, their chests rose and fell, and they cursed a few foul words, and then they all went out and found their respective tools and helpers.
"Brother Qu, this place will be handed over to you, the Huns are attacking, and the city is indispensable for stones and utensils, so you have to go and take a hand."
"General, don't worry."
Nodding, Luo Shan and Qu Lang hugged their fists, then turned around and strode away.
At this time, Qu Lang found that Luo Shan's hands were wrapped in cyan cloth indiscriminately, and on the cloth, the blood stains had already condensed into lumps, and the dark red color was reflected on the cyan, which was vague but dazzling.
