Chapter 230: Decisive Battle of Xining Ten

"Report!"

A spy from the Black Crow Army rushed from north to south, "Great Commander Qiyu, a large number of Mengyuan cavalry traces have been found five miles away in the north, and they are currently heading towards Xining City. ”

Zhong Qinghan frowned when he heard this, "They came so fast." Presumably, it was the news of the loss of the city gate that led to the rush over so quickly. What we have to do now is to speed up the pace and stagger with them, otherwise the end is worrying. ”

"You go and inform the commander of the left to give a cold fire, let him lead a thousand cavalry to spread along the road, pay attention to the news, once he collides with the enemy head-on, don't entangle, and quickly retreat." Zhong Qing coldly instructed the spy.

The spy said, "No! "Whip the horse and gallop away the way it came.

Su Ziheng looked up at the sky that had already darkened, and in another quarter or two hours, it would be completely dark, and then the road would not be clear in the wilderness, and it would be more difficult to walk.

"Light cold, what's next? If you rush in the dark, the speed of the march will be very slow, and it will not be safe to go. But now we can't raise torches, otherwise it will be the best target for the Meng Yuan army to attack. Su Ziheng asked worriedly.

Zhong Qinghan shook his head and said: "Don't light a torch, no matter how slow it is, you have to go, it's too dangerous for so many people to stay here." Luckily, there is a moon tonight, so you can use the moonlight to get there. In addition, it is necessary to make preparations with both hands and take the initiative to attract the Meng Yuan army away. ”

Su Ziheng was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "You mean to let a team of people hold torches to attract Meng Yuanjun?" ”

Zhong Qinghan nodded, "No, not only to attract them away, but also to give them heavy blows, so that they don't dare to continue to chase after them." I'm familiar with the terrain here, and I know that there is an abandoned mine not far away, not very high, but it's a good place to ambush. ”

Su Ziheng said: "If the troops are divided and left, then who will protect these people in the team?" ”

Zhong Qinghan sighed and said, "Then what do you say?" You can't just watch them being caught up by the Meng Yuan army, right? You must know that they are all cavalry, and it is difficult to meet opponents in field battles. If we had used mounted archery, we would have been annihilated. In contrast, it is better to divide the troops to lure them away, and maybe they can escape the catastrophe. ”

Su Ziheng raised his hand, "Wait! I still don't agree with this opinion, it's too risky. Once the Meng Yuan army also divides its troops, these unarmed people will definitely die. ”

After thinking for a moment, he resolutely said, "Otherwise, let the team light the torches and hurry up." Those Meng Yuan troops may not be coming towards us, after all, they are more eager to take Xining City than to pursue us. ”

"If there are really people who want to pick up the bargain, we can plan as we can, set up an ambush in advance, and blow them up with grenades. In such a situation of blind light, as long as their horses are frightened, the damage they can do to us is minimal. ”

"This ......" Zhong Qinghan hesitated for a moment, "Ziheng, you came out this time and brought an overcharge of pottery grenades?" ”

Su Ziheng said: "I haven't counted it specifically, but it shouldn't be less than two thousand." "After this period of storage, the speed of grenade production is getting faster and faster.

"Okay, just do as you say. Two thousand is not a lot, but it is enough for them to drink a pot. Zhong Qinghan decided.

Su Ziheng instructed Shi Mengdao: "Mengzi, notify me, the whole team will light the torches and speed up." In addition, you distribute the grenades in your inventory to the brothers of the Crow Army, and then prepare together to ambush the Mongol Yuan Army. They don't chase after them, but if they dare to come, they will be blown up. ”

This is the biggest difficulty they face in withdrawing from Xining City. If you can't cross it, it's almost impossible to exist, it's a big deal to activate the base, transform into a combat form, and protect them to evacuate safely.

It's just that it frequently turns into a combat form, and it consumes a lot of energy on the base, and he is afraid that Pandora will have an opinion. A pile of natural uranium ore was found with great difficulty, restoring most of the base's energy and allowing Pandora's lab to restart.

Su Ziheng himself didn't want to waste that energy easily, you must know that next time you want to find natural uranium ore I don't know when it will take to wait? The energy in the base plays a very important role in his next construction, and it is not worth wasting it here.

……

……

Ji Xiaohan was quietly prostrate on a roof, carefully looking at the direction of the door, and saw that there were people rushing in and out of it, but he still didn't see the person come out.

She couldn't help but turn her head to look at the people around her, and asked, "Sister, are you sure that Old Dog Xu will come out of here?" If you miss this opportunity, it will not be easy to assassinate him next time. ”

Dark Nine nodded calmly and said, "Little sister, don't worry. My sister has been in Xining City for more than a year or two, and she knows the most about Xu Xiuping's inquiry. If he were to go, he would definitely pass by here. It's just that why are you so obsessed with assassinating him? Is it the task of Her Royal Highness the Princess? ”

Ji Xiaohan exhaled and said slowly: "Yes, not exactly." The most important thing is for Su Gongzi, he has a deep hatred with Xu Laogou, if Xu Laogou escapes from Xining City, I am afraid that he will make trouble for Su Gongzi in the future. ”

Dark Nine frowned and said, "It's this Su Gongzi again?" I see that you mentioned his name several times today, but you and him ......."

"Sister, don't talk nonsense." Before Dark Jiu finished speaking, she was interrupted by Ji Xiaohan's voice, and she still glanced around with palpitations, knowing that there would be no other people in the dark around at this moment, but she was still afraid that these words would reach the ears of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

If Her Royal Highness the princess mistakenly thinks that she has any thoughts about Su Gongzi, then she is probably not far from death! He is the forbidden body of Her Royal Highness the Princess, how can he peep at it?

"Sister, if you have anything to do with Young Master Su in the future, don't talk nonsense in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Otherwise, His Highness will blame him, and I am afraid that the two of us sisters will not be able to afford to bear it. Ji Xiaohan whispered to Dark Nine.

Dark Jiu's pupils shrank when she heard this, and she secretly guessed in her heart: "Could it be that Her Royal Highness the Princess and Su Gongzi are ......" Thinking of this, she didn't dare to think about it anymore, this was a blasphemy against Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"Sister, pay attention, Xu Laogou has come out. According to the plan, you raid with a crossbow arrow, and your sister uses a grenade to cut off his way. Looking at Xu Xiuping, who was walking under the escort of a group of officials, Ji Xiaohan hurriedly said.

Dark Nine nodded, "Little sister, I know." After saying that, she raised her hand and raised the crossbow arrow in her hand and pulled the trigger on Xu Xiuping's throat.

"Whoosh!"

The arrows made of fine iron shot out like lightning, piercing Xu Xiuping's throat.

"There are assassins!"

Wang Zhenhai, the head of the patrol room, shouted loudly, pulled out the saber on his waist, and chased in the direction where the crossbow arrow came from.

Ji Xiaohan didn't expect his sister's archery skills to be so superb, and he actually hit Xu Xiuping with an arrow. The grenade in her hand naturally didn't throw it in the direction of Xu Xiuping, but smashed it at Wang Zhenhai, and said quickly: "Sister, let's withdraw!" ”
