At three o'clock in the morning, the captive chickens and dogs barked wildly in anxiety, the warning gong sounded above the Tibetan military building, and the lights were lit up one by one, like a pair of alert eyes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ding Yueming helped Wu Zheng finish putting on the armor on his body, and the two walked out of the camp quickly, although the voices outside were noisy but not panicked, the voice of the commander occasionally sounded from a certain direction, and the figures shook in the firelight, which was the soldiers assembling. Not far away, someone ran towards Wu Zheng with a torch, it was Feng Shichang from the engineering department.

"General, something is wrong!"

Wu Zheng saw the blood and dust on Feng Shichang's face by the light of the fire, frowned and asked, "Something happened in the tunnel?" Feng Shichang nodded and explained the details of the situation. Wu Zheng's face darkened in the firelight, and he waved his hand: "Pass my order, the fourth and fifth brigades will assist you in rescuing the wounded, and at the same time clear the boulders as soon as possible, and be sure to open the tunnel in the shortest possible time!" He patted Feng Shichang on the shoulder, "Whether we can get out of here alive this time is up to you!" ”

Feng Shichang wiped away the blood that flowed from the top of his head, nodded firmly, and then walked away quickly.

"!" As soon as Feng Shichang left, Wu Zheng couldn't help but curse in a low voice, the tunnel collapsed at such an urgent moment! Although the casualties were not large, several boulders blocked the tunnel. Before, only two-tenths of the people were evacuated, and there were nearly 40,000 soldiers and civilians left, and according to the original plan, it would take at least a day and a half for all the people to evacuate, but now it seems that it will be delayed indefinitely......

Sure enough, with the current construction conditions, it is impossible to build a stable tunnel, and my previous idea was too optimistic. After thinking about it, Wu Zheng said to Ding Yueming: "Wife, there is something I need you to do!" ”

……

"There's still someone inside, go in and save them!" A man with a wounded man on his back came out of a tunnel that was emitting smoke of dust and shouted to the others.

“…… However, the inside is all collapsed, and what if we go in and a big rock falls! A man dressed as a scholar hesitated. As soon as he finished speaking, several of the other people who were about to rush in immediately shrank back. No one can say whether there will be another accident in this situation, as soon as I think of hundreds of pounds of boulders falling, people will be completely smashed into meatloaf!

An old woman squeezed out of the crowd and cried, "My daughter-in-law and grandson, which of you can go in and save them, I beg you!" After saying that, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed. A man helped the old woman up, and said: "Aunt Zhou, this tunnel has collapsed like this, who would dare to enter it, and I heard from the people who escaped just now that almost all the people walking in front were killed by boulders, I see the little boy ...... Alas! ”

The old woman collapsed at once, muttering the name of her grandson and child, and tears kept streaming down her eyes.

A man suddenly rushed out of the crowd, and the man rushed to the old woman and comforted: "This lady, I'll save the child!" With that, he snatched a torch and rushed straight into the dark tunnel.

Before the people could see the man's face, they saw three or four more people rushing out of the crowd, and without saying a word, they rushed in. Someone with sharp eyes saw that these people's clothes were not Chinese, so they blurted out: "They are those Liao people!" Everyone was taken aback, they didn't expect the Liao people to help the Great Chinese people.

"Old woman, don't worry, as long as your little boy is still alive, Leader Xiao will bring him back safely." It was a Liao woman who spoke, her face was slightly pale in the light of the fire, but her delicate appearance was still admirable from the heart.

The little maid who was supporting her saw that cold sweat was oozing from her forehead again, so she hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe it for her, and said sadly: "Princess, why do you have to get down from the sedan chair when you are injured?" Yelu Min waved his hand and said, "It's out of the way." As soon as she finished speaking, someone behind her said, "She's right, your wound has just healed, so it's better not to move." ”

Ding Yueming walked out of the crowd, glanced at Yelu Min and ignored her, and walked straight towards the tunnel.

Seeing that it was General Wu's wife who came, everyone gathered around, Ding Yueming comforted everyone to understand the situation, and arranged for people to prepare to go in to rescue. At this moment, someone told her that a few Liao people had rushed in to save people just now.

Slightly surprised, Ding Yueming glanced in the direction of Ye Lumin, could it be that what this woman said before was true, she really hoped that the Liao people would reconcile with the Great Chinese?

While thinking about it, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "Come out, they come out!" Turning his head to look in the direction of the tunnel, he saw three or four grizzled people rushing out, the first one was still holding a child in his arms, Ding Yueming recognized this person at a glance as Xiao Qing, and she also knew the people behind her, it was Data and others.

As soon as Xiao Qing rushed out, he shouted, "Call Lang Zhong to come, save people quickly!" At the same time, he comforted the child in his arms in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, little boy, you will be fine soon, and when you are healed, your uncle will let you ride a big white horse every day." "It turns out that this little boy is the little boy who secretly came to see the big white horse a few days ago.

Someone stepped forward to pick up the child, a person dressed as Lang Zhong ran over to check the child's injury, and Xiao Qing sat on the ground panting and stared at the rescued child, with a very concerned look in his eyes.

"Hey! What is your name? Several men stood in front of Xiao Qing, and the first one asked, Data and the others saw that the other party had some bad intentions, and they were worried that Xiao Qing would suffer a loss and hurriedly ran over to help. Xiao Qing looked up at the people and replied, "My name is Xiao Qing!" ”

The other party suddenly handed over a water bag, and his words were in an admiring tone: "Xiao Qing! Good! It's a man, I Ye Yongbo wrote down your name, if we can get out of here alive, I invite you to drink! Xiao Qing smiled and said, "A word is a certainty!" ”

The original tense atmosphere gradually disappeared with the hearty laughter of these men, Yelu Min smiled slightly when she saw this scene, she saw Ding Yueming gradually change from hostility to gentle gaze, and also seemed to see the future of reconciliation between the two nations. She whispered in her heart: "I did it, Wu Zheng, I did it!" ”

……

"Let's go! You shit! ”

"Whoever dares to retreat will kill him! All ongoing! ”

Under the constant urging and coercion of the Tangut people behind them, the prisoners of war of the Northwest Army trembled and marched towards the narrow road in front of them, and the dead corpses on the side of the road told them that this was an extremely dangerous road of no return, but they had no choice, because there was only one result of retreating.

"Ahh The screams and the sound of the mechanism being launched came from the canyon to the ears of Wu Zheng and the others on the city wall at the end, and the iron pillars around him slammed hard against the stone wall and scolded: "These Xixia dogs! He even used prisoners of war from the Northwest Army to trap our traps! Fan Yuanhe also said depressedly: "It's a pity that our traps have been arranged for three months!" As a result, it was all used on his own people. ”

Wang Donghu said with a gloomy face: "These Northwest Army are not our own people!" If it weren't for the Tanguts who defeated them, they would have come to clean us up, so they are also our enemies just like the Tanguts! ”

Zheng Hua frowned: "But we can't see death without help, do we really want to attack our compatriots?" Bao Wei immediately retorted: "Lao Yan, what you said is not right, think about it, if we fall off now, we are captured by these Northwest Army, will they show mercy to our compatriots?" ”

The answer is obvious, but there is only one person who makes the final decision here, and everyone looks at Wu Zheng.

"Kill!" Wu Zheng said coldly.
