The remnant sun was like blood, shining on Zhong Qinghan's face, glowing with ruddy light, and there was a poignant feeling. Su Ziheng listened to her words quietly, and had an illusion that was suddenly like a dream, and sighed in his heart, if it weren't for this kind of battlefield where life and death can't help themselves, how good it would be!

Zhong Qinghan's voice was not high, but he was very calm and calm, as if everything was under control, "50,000 soldiers, if you want to surround the north, east, and south of Xining City, and not let the people in the city break out, this is impossible." ”

"If the leading general on the opposite side really wants to use the method of encircling three and missing one to make the people in the city flee without a fight, then why doesn't he let go of the south gate? After going out to the south, it is in the direction of Yongzhou, isn't this more stimulating for the people in the city to escape? ”

Su Ziheng couldn't help nodding and said, "That's true, then there must be a conspiracy here." It's just that if you look at the barracks outside, there are a lot of people inside, and there seem to be a lot of them. If that's what you say, where did so many people in the barracks come from? ”

Zhong Qinghan was silent for a moment, and did not answer his question directly, "Ziheng, we set off from Sujiazhuang and went outside the northern city, and it took more than half an hour to come all the way. Did you notice a strange phenomenon along the way? ”

Su Ziheng was stunned, "What strange phenomenon?" ”

Zhong Qinghan said expressionlessly: "Wanderers! It stands to reason that tens of thousands of displaced people outside the city a month ago, coupled with the locust plague some time ago, there will only be more displaced people and refugees who fled to Xining City, so why can't we see any displaced people along the way? ”

"Click!" Su Ziheng's mind was like a thunderbolt flashing from a sunny day, yes, where are all those homeless people? Could it be that he has been captured by the army of Meng Yuan?

Su Ziheng looked at the figures reflected in the bonfire in the barracks outside, and he seemed to understand......

"Are you saying that not all the people in the barracks are Mengyuan Army, and many of them are homeless?"

Zhong Qinghan sighed lightly, "If that's not the case, how can we explain the whereabouts of those displaced people?" ”

Su Ziheng only felt a dryness in his throat and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say? He has not seen siege warfare in this world, but when he was on Earth in his previous life, whether it was in film and television dramas or history books, he had seen many siege battles in ancient and modern China and abroad.

Most of the people who were captured were used as cannon fodder for the siege, and only a few survived. Part of the reason why it was difficult for the ancient population to develop was that in addition to the low economic power and the inability to support such a large population, it was also because of the war. In troubled times, human life is like a mustard.

Seeing Su Ziheng's dejected look, Zhong Qinghan reached out and patted him on the shoulder, comforting: "The world is like this, you and I have to get used to it." I love your paradise world. I just can't see the day you built it with my own eyes. ”

Su Ziheng came back to his senses, held her weak and boneless jade palm with his backhand, and smiled reluctantly, "How come, believe me, that day will come soon." ”

Zhong Qinghan was slightly stunned by Su Ziheng's sudden grip, but he didn't withdraw his hand, shook his head and said, "You don't understand, in a few months, I will be double ten." ”

Su Ziheng said: "So what? In fact, there is a sentence I have long wanted to ask you, the last time I went to see you, I found that you were very weak, did you have any illness? Tell me, I don't think there's a cure. ”

Zhong Qinghan said quietly: "Nine Yin Absolute Pulse, have you heard of it?" Seeing that Su Ziheng had a puzzled look on her face, she suddenly laughed, "If you haven't heard of it, forget it, just because I haven't said it." lest you know too much and add to your troubles. ”

Feeling the cold chill coming from his palm, Su Ziheng seemed to understand the meaning of "Nine Yin Absolute Veins". He frowned and asked, "It's true that I haven't heard of the 'Nine Yin Absolute Vein', but that doesn't affect my understanding of what it means. It's nothing more than a physical condition. ”

Zhong Qinghan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Ziheng, the Nine Yin Absolute Pulse is not as simple as you think. It ...... "Before the words fell, I heard a commotion outside, and there was chaos in the Mengyuan military camp outside.

"What's the situation? Cold fire, you go and investigate, be careful not to reveal your identity. ”

Leng Huo took the order and took a few guards and headed out. At this time, the noise outside became louder and louder, and I could vaguely hear someone in the barracks shouting loudly in Mengyuan language.

Liangzhou is close to the Mengyuan Moxi grassland, and many people can understand the Mengyuan dialect. Leng Huo listened intently as if to say, "Catch them, don't let them run." ”

Looking at the Mengyuan military camp again, there were flames burning everywhere, and it was obvious that someone had set a fire in the barracks. A guard next to him stretched out his hand and pointed to a fence in the barracks, and exclaimed in a low voice: "Commander Zuo, look over there, someone has escaped." ”

Leng Huo looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, under the burning of the fire, a gap was smashed open in one of the fences, and dozens of people rushed out of the gap.

Behind them were the Mengyuan cavalry roaring on war horses. Some of the horsemen took off their bows and arrows and were bending their bows and arrows to shoot those who fled.

A few unlucky ones were shot by arrows, wailing and falling to the ground, and the Meng Yuan cavalry who was catching up leaned over and cut off their heads, and couldn't help laughing, cursing those who fled and didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

The guard's eyes suddenly became gloomy, he held the war knife in his hand hard, and stared at the Mengyuan cavalryman tightly, eager to skin him and pull his bones, "Commander Zuo, should we go up and save them?" ”

Leng Huo's eyes were already about to breathe fire, he pulled out his iron-tired bow, drew out three iron arrows, let go, fired three arrows at once, and went straight to the three nearest Mengyuan cavalry who were chasing.

"Plop", the Mengyuan cavalryman who cut down a homeless person with a scimitar just now was pierced through his body by an iron arrow, fell from his horse to the ground, and was killed on the spot.

Leng Huo shouted, "Up! Save them all. ”

The dozens of guards who came with him suddenly flew over like wolves and tigers. For a while, he shot all the pursuing Mengyuan cavalry under the horse, but unexpectedly attracted more Mengyuan cavalry, and suddenly you came and went, and arrows flew around in the air.

I couldn't figure out how many people were ambushed in the woods opposite, and no one in the Meng Yuan army dared to chase them out without permission, so the dozens of people who escaped fled to the location where the cold fire was.

Except for a few who were lucky and did not get injured, the others were more or less colorful, and even a few were hit by arrows in the back and arms, looking miserable.

Leng Huo coldly ordered: "Xiao Jiu, you take them to the Grand Commander, let the military doctor help treat them, and we will cut them off here." If the Grand Commander is to blame, I will take it upon myself when I go back. ”
