Chapter 37: Fate

Zhao Wanqi plucked a leaf off her head, chewed a grass stalk in her mouth, stirred it twice, spit it on the ground, and looked at the direction of Suide City in the northwest with a curse.

"County Lord, if you let people see it like this, it will damage the image of our Rongwang Mansion."

Ah Wu saw Zhao Wanqi's hanging appearance, hesitated and said.

"Get out, look at your virtue, let them catch you back, what to run! It's a shame that you've been messing with my jade-faced little dragon for so many years! ”

Zhao Wanqi kicked Ah Wu's body, and Ah Wu hurriedly dodged.

"The county lord, the subordinates are also forced to do so, the prince has an explanation, no matter what, I have to keep you safe. This war is not something we can participate in. Master Tong has already led hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops to come, and it won't take a few days to break the siege. ”

Ah Wu's face was flushed and his expression was gloomy. In fact, why didn't he want to go up and fight, the fate of these women and children after returning to Suide City can be imagined...... But he's just a guard...... At the center of everything he does is to keep the county lord safe.

"You can wait for the dead eunuch's army to come, but can those hundreds of women and children just wait just now? You know what their fate is when they are caught! Didn't you say that She Fustiff was your good brother? His wife and children are also in it......"

Zhao Wanqi's fists were clenched tightly, like an angry lion, and she reprimanded Ah Wu with her teeth and claws......

The afternoon sun was hot, and at this moment he was like a student who had been reprimanded by his husband...... Silently lowered his head, not daring to speak, a few beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from his forehead, rolling down his dark face...... He was indeed guilty in his heart......

He raised his arm to wipe the sweat off his face, when suddenly a faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils, this fragrance was faint, like the smell of rotten eggs, and like the smell of someone who ate a bad stomach fart......... I still seem to have smelled this smell, it seems to be last night in Baishui Mountain...... He was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly, and when he pulled out the saber at his waist, he let out a low cry.

"County Lord, poisonous, cover your nose!"

"I ...... I rely on ......."

Before Zhao Wanqi's hand could cover her nose in a hurry, her body staggered and fell to the ground, and Ah Wu also fell to the ground immediately.

The intersection was quiet, and in the grass not far away, a short man wearing a Western Regions costume and a bearded face walked out, followed by two men in black.

This bearded man is none other than Maimaiti, the Tibetan killer who kidnapped Zhao Wanqi last night.

Maimaiti took out two cotton balls from his waist and stuffed them into his two nostrils, walked straight to Zhao Wanqi and Ah Wu's side, squatted down, looked at Zhao Wanqi and Ah Wu's bodies, smiled, and said in jerky Chinese:

"Salty and eat radish lightly! It's planted again, haha! If this master can catch the sample, you can catch it the first time, and you can catch it the second time! Look where you're running this time! ”

……

Outside the east gate of Suide City, Li Yanyi stood outside the east gate on horseback.

Inside the city gates, soldiers came and went, clearing the battlefield, and this morning's battle was extremely tragic, with their summer soldiers losing nearly 5,000 of their 20,000 soldiers. It was replaced by this empty city, and the food and weapons in the city were not known to be hidden there, and they have not been found yet.

Unlike Mizhi City, the Song people who were captured in the city were not slaughtered, and were rushed to several compounds opposite the Mingzhou Bridge. If you want to find the grain in Shilibao's tuntian, you still have to rely on these people.

As for those who died in battle, the corpses of the soldiers were thrown into the canal by the Wuding River and buried, the corpses were like mountains, and the blood was like rivers. The city was almost cleaned up, and the smell of blood could still be smelled.

This battle was the most tragic battle he had fought in recent years. He didn't expect that a weak Song soldier would have such a strong combat effectiveness. Especially the fat county commander who guarded the city, he was very brave, and with a spear, he killed no less than a hundred soldiers, and finally fell down after being pierced by more than a dozen spears.

Now, the head of the county commander has been cut off and hung on the city gate.

"General, the flying pigeon sends a message!"

A general ran up to Li's horse and handed a small bamboo tube forward. Li Yanyi took the bamboo tube, opened the stopper, took out a small roll of rice paper from it, and opened it carefully.

"Huh? This ......"

Li Yanyi's face changed suddenly, and the small bamboo tube fell down with a bang, and the staff reached out to catch the small bamboo tube.

"Why is the general so alarmed?"

"It's not good, you quickly sent someone to Mantangchuan to recall Sun to join the army, and said that the Taiyuan army had occupied Jiaxian Village and was heading in the direction of Suide. If those women and children are not arrested, they will quickly return to the city to fortify! When the notice is made, the soldiers in the city will assemble at the east gate! ”

As soon as Li Yanyi finished explaining, the dust was flying in the distance, and Sun Wei came back with hundreds of prisoners.

"General, Sun has come back from the army."

"See, you go to the city to inform the others and others, and quickly come to the east city gate to gather."

Li Yanyi continued.

"The last general commands!"

The general hurried into the gates.

Li Yanyi patted the horse under his crotch and walked in the direction of Sun Wei, Sun Wei also saw Li Yanyi, patted the horse, and ran forward.

"General, I have already arrested this group of people, but unfortunately the guard of the county lord of Rongwangfu ran away."

Although Sun Wei said a "pity", his face did not show a pity on his face, smiling, with a smug expression.

"Can the military advisor know the news that the Song soldiers Taiyuan Army has conquered Jiaxian Village?"

Li Yanyi looked at Sun Wei seriously.

"Knowing one or two, the general is too worried, the main force of the Song army is still on the bank of the Yellow River in Wubaozhai, and there are only more than 5,000 Song soldiers in Jiaxian Village, and those soldiers and horses are not all from Taiyuan Mansion. It is said that the general who led the army was the county lieutenant of this county. There are more than 15,000 horses in our city, and even if the 5,000 Song soldiers attack, they are just asking for their own death. ”

Sun Wei looked disdainful.

The hundreds of women and children passed by Sun Wei and Li Yanyi, pushed by hundreds of Xia soldiers.

"General, look at how these hundreds of women and children look, they are very handsome! Lo and behold, there are dozens of chicks there...... Do you want to leave a few for you to have a good time......

Sun Wei's gaze remained motionless on the women and children in the past, and a lewd smile appeared on his face.

"Strategist, as the saying goes, there is a knife on the head of the color word, don't miss your good future because of women's affairs. Let's discuss what to do now! It is estimated that it will not be long before the Song army will arrive here. ”

Li Yanyi looked up in the direction of Jiaxian Village in the northeast...... Preoccupied.

Sun Wei retracted his gaze and also looked up in the direction of Jiaxian Village.

"General, why don't we set up ten ambushes, and then make a move to flank back and forth, or we can easily do it!"

Sun Wei lost his eyes and touched the tip of his nose with his hand.

"It turns out that the military advisor has a good strategy, no wonder he is so calm. The military advisor may wish to elaborate. ”

Li Yanyi breathed a sigh of relief. Although Sun Wei has a mind and a cheap character, the plan he came up with is still very good, and it is precisely for this reason that they have not been defeated in the past three years.

Sun Wei turned his head and pointed to the location in the direction of Baishui Mountain to the north.

"General, isn't there a steep mountain road behind Baishui Mountain that can lead to the west gate of Suide City? We prepared the first half of our troops at the West Gate, and when the Song soldiers attacked the city, the troops of the West Gate bypassed the mountain road and unexpectedly appeared in the rear of the Song soldiers...... The Song soldiers will definitely be in chaos, and then open the city gate, attack front and back, and attack with all their might! ”

"It's a good idea, but it's too steep for a solo climb, but it's very difficult to lead a horse. In that case, why not hide directly in Willow Beach? ”

Li Yanyi thought for a moment and spoke.

"That's a great way!"

Sun Wei's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said.

"In that case, let's start preparing now."

Li Yanyi and Sun Wei looked at each other and smiled, and entered the city.

In less than a stick of incense, about five or six thousand Xia soldiers hurried out of the city under the leadership of a general, walked along the avenue into the intersection of the northbound corner, and walked in the direction of Liulintan.

On the east city gate, Li Yanyi and Sun Wei commanded the soldiers to arrange rolling logs and other defensive equipment......

The sun was setting in the west, and it was already afternoon, and the air was a little cooler, less muggy.

On a piece of bluestone in Baishui Mountain, She Yi looked at Suide City coldly, and he clearly saw that Ding's Xiaoyu and the others were divided into two groups of people according to adults and children, and rushed into the two compounds.

Her younger sister Xiaoyu seemed to be injured and walked with a limp, and She Hu supported her. Ding, Chunhua, Mingzhu and others were driven to another compound, they all changed into civilian clothes, and Xia Bing did not discover their true identities.

The corners of She Yi's mouth twitched, and he clearly saw that several women were pulled into a corner by Xia Bing, and one of them was still the concubine of Ding County. What made him even more angry was that in another courtyard, several Western Xia soldiers gave two **-year-old girls to the wheel......

Needless to say, these people will not be rescued before tonight, and what awaits them is trampling, humiliation, and massacre......
