Chapter 213: The Night of the Decisive Battle
Zuo Shaoyang turned around and saw Bai Zhihan kneeling on the futon, with a graceful figure, under the swaying oil lamp, on the washed white jade face, the condensed skin was flushed, as ruddy as a peach, if nothing else, it was still very cool to have such a beautiful maid to serve, but it was a pity. smiled bitterly: "Do you have to follow me for the rest of your life?" You're going to have to get married, right? Do you want me to help you get a home? β
Bai Zhihan smiled sadly: "Zhi'er is the young master's slave, and it is natural for the young master to do whatever the young master wants." If the young master really wants to match Zhi'er with a family, Zhi'er can't say a word......"
Zuo Shaoyang shook his head with a wry smile, and was about to speak, but he didn't expect Bai Zhihan's words in the back to almost scare him out of bed and fall off the bed, only to hear Bai Zhihan say slowly: "It's a big deal, and there is still one death!" β
As he spoke, Bai Zhihan blew out the oil lamp with a snort.
Zuo Shaoyang turned his body around and fell asleep face in. Listening to the following, I thought that Bai Zhihan would hide in the quilt and sob, but I couldn't hear any sound, thinking carefully, from the first time I saw Bai Zhihan, until now, I haven't seen her shed a single tear, including her grandfather is critically ill and dying, and Mrs. Qu They are all crying to death, and she doesn't even have red circles under her eyes. said that she was hard-hearted, but she did not hesitate to sell herself as a slave in order to treat her grandfather. Say that she doesn't want to follow herself, she didn't do it just now if she wanted to give her back her freedom, said that she would die if she was driven or let her marry, but if she wanted to marry herself, she was like a proud rooster, and she didn't have a good face for herself. Alas, a woman's heart is a needle, and she really can't figure it out. However, if the grain requisition order is really going to be issued, even if Bai Zhihan threatens to seek death, she can only be sent away. Can't bother her.
Thinking about it, I fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, Zuo Shaoyang was sleeping soundly, and suddenly heard the commotion outside, Zuo Shaoyang woke up in fright, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the red light on the window shaking, illuminating the room brightly, startled, and got up.
Bai Zhihan under the concoction room was also scared awake and got up. Through the bright red light outside, Zuo Shaoyang saw that Bai Zhihan was wearing a white middle shirt, with the top facing the neck, tightly buttoned, and the trousers on the lower body reaching the ankles. - Damn, what is this girl sleeping so tightly? Could it be that you are afraid that you will force her? Then what do you say that you are willing to be a wife and a concubine and a slave, and you really don't understand it.
Bai Zhihan looked up and saw that Zuo Shaoyang was only wearing a short shirt, so he hurriedly turned his face and said urgently: "Young master, get dressed quickly, it seems to be flooding outside!" β
Of course, Zuo Shaoyang also guessed, but he was thundered by Bai Zhihan's outfit just now, looked at the red light outside the window, listened to the voices outside, and knew that the fire point should be relatively far away, not close, a little relieved, quickly put on his robe, put on the boots that Bai Zhihan made yesterday, and climbed down the stairs.
Bai Zhihan had already put on the men's clothes in Hufu, opened the door and went out, and in the lobby, Zuo Gui, Liang's and Miao's mother all got up in a panic, asking each other what was going on.
Zuo Shaoyang opened the door and looked out, only to see that half of the sky in the distance was red, but the faint voice was the sound of shouting and killing, and he couldn't help but change color: "It's the rebels who are killing, right?" β
Zuo Gui said: "No, didn't the officers and soldiers say that they would fight Shuanghuai County in the afternoon, Shuanghuai County is in the east, and it is the west that is on fire, which is not the same thing." β
Zuo Shaoyang said: "The enemy army should come out of Taihe County in the west, and it must be like last time, taking advantage of the situation to sneak attack Hezhou, and come to encircle Wei to save Zhao, so as to relieve the attack of the officers and soldiers in the east on Shuanghuai County!" β
Miao Peilan quietly came to Zuo Shaoyang's side and said in a low voice: "Brother Zuo, should we go and help?" β
"Absolutely." Zuo Shaoyang said, "The rebels want to starve us to death, we don't help the officers and soldiers, there is only one way to die." - You go and help me get the kit. β
The experience of rescuing the wounded in the city tower last time, so that Zuo Shaoyang remembered deeply, that time was a temporary intention to go to the city tower to rescue the wounded, so he did not bring out the medical box, as a result, I saw that many wounded people because the temporary tear off of the placket belt could not achieve the purpose of stopping bleeding, a large amount of blood loss and died, heartache, after returning, he specially prepared a first aid kit, which is equipped with a number of hemostatic bandages, hemostats, scissors, scalpels and other commonly used tools and medicines for battlefield treatment. Now it really comes in handy.
Miao Peilan agreed, ran to the back of the medicine cabinet, picked up the outpatient box and carried it on her back.
Zuo Shaoyang opened the door and ran out, Liang hurriedly reached out to grab his arm, Zuo Shaoyang was already on guard, and went out in a flash, running to Xicheng. Miao Peilan chased after her with a first-aid kit, and Bai Zhihan followed without saying a word.
Liang was so anxious that he hissed behind him, "Zhong'er is back!" Zhong'er ......! β
Zuo Gui said: "Don't call, they should go, just go up to the city tower to help rescue the wounded, and it's not a charge, it's no big problem." β
If Zuo Gui had known in advance that he had made a mistake in judgment this time, his son would have almost died this time, and he would not let his son go even if he worked hard!
Although it is now a curfew, among the curfew exceptions is to go to the water to fight fires. At this time, there is no curfew, and anyone can come out to help put out the fire. Seeing the fire in the west of the city, some people on the street were already running and shouting for fire. Therefore, Zuo Shaoyang took his second daughter and accelerated his pace and ran forward.
After running forward for a while, Zuo Shaoyang patted his waist and found that the little squirrel was not brought, he was in too much of a hurry just now, so he temporarily decided to come out to help save people, and he didn't care about bringing the little squirrel with him. Now I can't go back to get it, otherwise I will be pulled by my mother, and I won't be able to run away.
The three of them continued to run west of the city. Suddenly I felt that something was wrong, the red light did not seem to be in the city, but outside the city, and when I saw the tower from a distance, this judgment was confirmed, and the red light did come from outside the city, - how could there be such a bright fire outside the city?
The three of them ran to the west of the city tower, and found that the city gate was wide open, and there were groups of officers and soldiers armed with bows, arrows, knives and guns at the gate, nervously facing the outside of the city. In the open space on both sides of the city, the officers and soldiers of the black pressure held their swords and squatted on the ground waiting, looking very nervous.
Zuo Shaoyang rushed to the city tower, and a few soldiers ran over in the darkness next to him and said, "What are you doing?" This is a war, hurry back! β
Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly said: "I am Xiaolangzhong of Guizhitang, and they are my friends and relatives. We came to help with the wounded. Don't know if there's anything we need help with? β
The first general, surnamed Liu, was a fire commander under the squadron of the rebel army in this western expedition. "Fire" is the most basic organization in the Tang Army, and for every 20 people in the fire, there is a fire chief. Liu Huochang stroked his beard and looked Zuo Shaoyang up and down: "Are you the little Langzhong of Guizhitang?" β
"yes."
Liu Huochang's words softened a little: "I've heard of you, and I heard that you treat arrow wounds and bone grafts, and they don't hurt at all, is it true?" β
Zuo Shaoyang heard that his fame had actually reached the ears of this officer, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud: "Hehe, that's the case, there are still a number of injured soldiers in my pharmacy who continue to stay for treatment." β
"It's really you!" Liu Huo Changle smiled and said, "I heard that you are very brave and righteous, and in the last battle, you also took people up to the city tower to save many of our wounded soldiers." β
Zuo Shaoyang grinned and said, "Yes, you are fighting for the safety of our people, and we can only do our best to help." It's nothing. ββIs there anything we need help with now? For example, treating the wounded or something? β
"It's definitely needed to help rescue the wounded, but now that there is a war going on outside, there is a temporary wounded treatment hospital for our army in the open space under the city wall to the left of the city tower in front. All the soldiers were waiting there, and hundreds of strong laborers were gathered, carrying stretchers and waiting, and once the battle was over, they would go up to treat the wounded soldiers. It's too dangerous to go out now, so you'd better wait until the battle is over. β
Zuo Shaoyang asked, "How long will it take?" β
"I'm afraid this battle won't be over for a while. Hehe" Liu Huochang smiled a little smugly, "We have surrounded the incoming enemy army, this time we must eat it resolutely!" Then Taihe Town will be self-defeating! β
Zuo Shaoyang said happily: "We surrounded the enemy army?" Didn't our army go east to fight Shuanghuai County? Where did they come from to surround the enemy? β
The soldiers led by Liu Huochang seemed to be a combat reserve, and they would not go up until the critical time, so they were a little idle, and smiled a little proudly: "What do you know about this Langzhong, hehe, this is called luring the snake out of the hole!" It is clear that we are going to fight Shuanghuai County in the east, and the enemy army in Taihe County in the west will definitely take the siege of Wei to save Zhao and send troops to attack our Hezhou. Our army has been ambushed on both sides, taking advantage of the situation to kill them, wrapping them in dumplings, this time we must eat them in one fell swoop! β
"Oh, the war of annihilation can't be fought for a while. Wounded soldiers can't wait, and they will die if they bleed too much. If you save it a moment earlier, you may be able to save one more life! β
"That's right," Liu Huochang immediately hesitated when he heard this, and looked at Miao Peilan and Bai Zhihan behind Zuo Shaoyang. Bai Zhihan is wearing a men's bearded suit, she can't see her face clearly when it's dark, Miao Peilan also has her hair in a bun, wearing a coarse cloth shirt and trousers, and she can't tell the men and women from her clothes. I thought it was two men following him, so he said, "Just the three of you?" β
"Well, the two of them cover me, and I'll give the wounded a brief treatment, and then carry the wounded back."
"Then you wait, I'll go and report to the group to see if it works."
As he spoke, Liu Huochang turned around and ran quickly into a room downstairs in the city.
Soon, Liu Huochang went out again, holding a white armor in his hand, and ran back quickly: "Okay!" Tuanzheng said that you are very good, we can wait for the wounded soldiers, we can't wait, and if we save people a moment earlier, we will have more hope of survival. The regiment has already ordered a small number of soldiers to be sent to Lang Zhong and Minzhuang to go up with you to treat the wounded, but you must ensure safety, do not rush too far forward, and beware of rushing into the enemy's army. β
"Okay, don't worry!" Left Shaoyang Road.
