It took two days for the elite soldiers and civilians to clean up the battlefield outside the city.

After counting, a total of 13,860 corpses of enemy soldiers were collected and burned on the Gobi Desert 50 miles outside the West Gate to prevent the spread of the plague; in the swamp, countless enemy soldiers were killed, 1,213 were seriously wounded, 3,015 elite soldiers of the Beigong servant army were captured, and more than 500 women were in the medical team, and the captain was Yelu Wanrou, who was in his twenties. Among them, one of the captains, named Yelujing, and 5 commanders of the thousands, all of whom were originally from Dongshengzhou, and later migrated to the descendants of humans and demons in Daxizhou, were not treated well by the commander Nangong Yi, and were mostly engaged in some logistics affairs in the army, so they were not included in the prominent positions in the battle in this battle, so they escaped this catastrophe.

Inspired by the relevant policies of the Elite City to treat prisoners well, and the guidance of the ideological work done by Chun Yuyi and others, these captured soldiers were all willing to join the Elite Beggar Army, and after the wounded soldiers recovered, they were organized into an independent ironclad army by Fanxiang, led by the commander Yelujing. This Yelu Jing is the brother of the medical captain Yelu Wanrou, and later became a powerful team in the elite beggar army.

In this battle, countless ordnance and materials were obtained, as many as 5,000 giant sickle chariots were captured, 3,000 heavy bomb throwing machines, more than 10,000 Dawan good horses from Daxizhou, more than 20,000 other war horses, more than 15,000 pairs of iron lock heavy armor, and countless other military supplies such as gunpowder, shells, arrows, knives and guns, gold and silver coins and other military supplies.

In this battle, the Jingjue City captured a lot, and the whole city held a big celebration for several days.

On June 23, at dusk, Fan Xiang stood alone by the wooden bridge that had been destroyed by the fire of war outside the northwest gate, holding the cyan silk handkerchief that Fang Suxinyan gave when he parted, and the silk handkerchief was wrapped in the magnolia-colored lotus fossil, and his heart was full of thoughts.

He looked up at the western sky, where the setting sun was already on the horizon, like a red oval ship, floating, with wisps of red, purple, and yellow clouds below it, like still waves.

He looked intently at the west below the sunset, his eyes a little hollow.

Four women crept up and stood behind him.

Fan Xiang subconsciously turned around, only to see Mei Duoer, Chun Yu Tiying, Ayiguli, Jian Xi and other four people standing quietly behind him, I don't know how long they have been behind him.

Fan Xiang looked back at Mei Duoer, smiled apologetically, and said, "Are you better from the beating with a military stick?...... Hate me. ”

Mei Duoer shook her head, looked at the water under the bridge, pursed her lips, and said, "What can I do if I hate you? I can still cook you and eat you? Life is hard, but I won't forget to smile, hee-hee. After a pause, he continued: "Brother Fanxiang, I remember, you said before that once you know the whereabouts of your friends who were captured by the devils, you will leave here to find them, right?...... We often see you holding this green silk handkerchief, as well as this lotus fossil, and then you are in a daze, this is ...... And what?"

"Hmm,...... Really, do I have it?" Fan Xiang looked down at the green handkerchief in his hand, and the small lotus fossil in the silk handkerchief, and subconsciously held them tightly in the palm of his hand.

"Brother Fanxiang, this afternoon, you know the good news that the scouts brought back, are you going to leave us? But I, I,...... We can't do without you here. ...... Can you not go?"

Fan Xiang looked at the clouds in the sky, shook her head slightly, and said: "They have saved me and are my benefactors, although I don't know whether their two brothers and sisters are alive or dead, but I must save them."

They, or those who avenge them. This silk handkerchief, this lotus flower,...... Yes, Xiao Yan and Haoruo's sister don't know what to do now, Xiao Yan's sister cut her life in half in order to save me, I, I ,...... However, today's scouts in front of the East also brought back bad news. ”

"This is indeed bad news, but we are not afraid, as long as there is a great general, we are not afraid!" Chun Yu Tiying stood beside Fan Xiang, turned his head to look at Fan Xiang's side, his eyes were resolute, and he said softly.

"Yes, this time the Beigong servant army formed an encirclement and suppression army of 500,000 soldiers and horses, with Murong Ling, the general of the Southern Expedition, as the commander of the army, and their 100,000 vanguard army was originally led by his family general Feng Batong, but for some reason it was temporarily replaced by Murong Shao's general Hou Jing, this Hou Jing is the head of his five tiger generals, he has always been brave and good at fighting, and he has set off from the east a few days ago, and marched to my exquisite city through Dunhuang City. Listening to the detailed reports of many scouts, this legion composed of 100,000 demons is a light cavalry regiment, and according to their marching speed, it will be under our East Gate City in three or five days at the latest. Fan Xiang looked at the four women in front of her and said calmly.

"The enemy sees us as a thorn in his side, and wants to destroy my city quickly, which means that the enemy is afraid of us. But we are not afraid of them, and we are willing to follow the great general to fight them, even to the last man. ”

The four women walked up to Fan Xiang, looked into Fan Xiang's eyes, and said in unison.

Fan Xiang looked at the four weak women in front of her, and her eyes swept over their faces one by one, because of the war, these beautiful and weak daughters have become strong warriors, so she sighed softly and said, "You are all good children. ...... At this juncture, I am not going to leave yet, I do not want to make an unforgivable mistake. When this battle is over, I think I'm going to leave, it's just ,...... I don't know where this Feng Batong, who had swept through the hinterland of the southwest, went? If the Mo brothers and sisters were still alive, they must be in his army. ”

"General, there is nothing wrong with you choosing to leave, because you can say that you repay the favor, but what I see may be your responsibility and bravery, Brother Fanxiang...... Probably, there are others. Although, none of us know what you've been through before. ”

Ayiguli looked at the small cyan silk handkerchief in Fanxiang's hand, and the small finger-like lotus fossil on the silk handkerchief, and sighed softly.

There was a moment of silence.

Chun Yuti sighed faintly, and said softly: "Is it only war that can leave you? Don't you always want to live a peaceful and stable life? Don't you also like our newly established city?...... Brother Fanxiang, are you always so sensible?...... I remember, when I was a child, my father told me that if you were already making a choice, then at this point, your faith was starting to waver. ”

"I'm sorry!"

"Why do you say sorry to us? General,...... I think you are always unwilling to take off the burden of your heart, you always bury everything in your heart, it is impenetrable, you have to ask a right or wrong about everything, I think, right or wrong, what does it matter? Even if it is wrong, there will be many people who will do it. ...... Brother Fanxiang, I just want to tell you, whether it's right or wrong, I, I...... We all want to be with you...... Fight wars, fight for survival, fight for our homeland. I think you know me,...... Got us. Chun Yu Tiying's voice became quieter and quieter the more she spoke.

Fan Xiang looked at the four women in front of her, sighed softly, and said, "I'm really sorry!"

But, but, but we're also your friends, so you can't bear to leave us alone?" Mei Duoer suddenly shed tears, took out the silk scarf in her arms, wiped the tears from her cheeks, and said softly.

"I don't know what I'm supposed to say to you, Meadow, perhaps, the world is cruel, but life will still move forward. There's no way I can get all the brutal evil and bad to put down the butcher's knife, but we can choose to be brave. Duo'er, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome, it is difficult to survive, but it will always get better, be strong and live. ”

"That'...... Well, it's hard to survive, so let's give each other more wishes!" Mei Duoer wiped the tears from her cheeks, raised her eyes to look at the sky that Fanxiang was looking at, smiled slightly, and said.

"Brother Fanxiang, it's better to ,...... I'm going to help you find those two friends named Xiao Yan and Hao Ruo to come to our exquisite ancient city, everyone together, fight with you, live and die together, what do you say?" Chun Yu Tiying said suddenly.

"Yes, let's go and help you find them, as for the Mo family brothers and sisters, their lives and deaths are uncertain now. I heard from the Yelujing brothers and sisters that in addition to leaving a small number of garrisons in various places to guard, the rest of the Beigong servant army had to assemble to a valley called Wuyu Gorge in the west for some reason, so sooner or later, Feng Ba's partial army would pass under the Kunlun Mountain and go to the west to join their army, and then we could choose the opportunity to intercept them,...... What do you say, Brother Fanxiang. ”

Ayiguli and Jian Xi glanced at each other, looked up at Fanxiang, said softly in a calm voice.

"The brothers and sisters of the Mo family were captured by Feng Ba, the devil of the Southern Expedition, and they were treated as two-legged sheep, I am afraid, I am afraid of now...... , and now this army of devils of the Southern Expedition is gone. As for Xiao Yan, they ,...... Now, we have troops here at any time, they stay in the ghost cave village and Kuanrong Mountain, maybe it is safer, you don't go looking for them. Fan Xiang shook his head, looked at the sky in the west, was a little dazed, and said softly.

"Yes,...... It's just that the scouts who went to the ghost cave village to report the news haven't come back yet. ...... I don't know where these scouts are now?" said Meadow with a sigh, looking at the setting sun in the distance.

"Well, everybody's all right! I hope ......."

Fan Xiang suddenly turned around and asked Chun Yu Tiying, "Miss Tiying, how are the preparations of the battalions going today?"

"The preparations of each battalion are carried out according to the general's military deployment! When the enemy comes, let them taste the incendiary bombs of our exquisite begging army, hehe. Chun Yu Tiying smiled and said lightly.

"Thirty miles ahead of the east gate, the valley and the poplar forest belt on the meadow have now opened up the pocket array as required, right? The woods must be filled with oil barrels, I wonder how these barrels are prepared? What about the hundreds of thousands of scarecrows? The antlers and horses are all ready? There are also bomb throwers and crossbow planes that must be prepared in advance, and at the latest, before the sun sets tomorrow, they must be discharged on the outer edge of the pocket array, and at the same time they must be placed at the head of the four gates!" Fanxiang looked at the twilight sky, thoughtfully, as if inquiring, as if talking to herself, and muttered.

"Hehe, general, don't worry, my father and we are all keeping an eye on it, this time we will leave no one behind this fierce demon army like demons, kill all of them, and avenge our once beautiful Jiangnan water town. ”

"Yes, we have to avenge the innocent deaths, let this demon army come, don't think about leaving. ...... Okay, let's go around and check it out. ”
