"Knock knock."

There was a quick knock on the door, Chunhe and Zhong Zhiyu glanced at each other, and asked in a raised voice, "Who?" ”

"It's me."

Hongclaw's familiar voice came, which put the two people in the room at ease, Chunhe got dressed, lit an oil lamp, and hurriedly opened the door, "What's wrong with this big night?" ”

As soon as she opened the door, Hongpaw looked at her helplessly, while He Yu was almost completely hung on Hongpaw's body, looking so drunk that he couldn't walk.

"He Junshi is drunk like this, why did you bring him here?" Chunhe complained about Hongpaw while giving up his seat and helping He Yu to lie down on her couch.

Unexpectedly, He Yu was drunk, but his mind was very sober, and he hurriedly excused himself with his tongue wide, and when he saw Chunhe, he ignored it, and even said what was bad and polluted the innocence of the girl's family.

Chunhe was helpless, "He Junshi is not a pedantic person on weekdays, why do you pay attention to this today." But since you think this will tarnish the innocence of the girl's house, then you shouldn't come to knock on my young lady's door in the middle of the night. ”

When He Yu heard this, he hurriedly stabbed Hongpaw with his hand, and Hongclaw relayed, "He Junshi suddenly felt that something was wrong, and wanted to remind Miss." ”

Zhong Zhiyu listened to their conversation, and at this time he was already dressed, and when he saw that he was mentioned, he walked out, let He Yu sit on the chair before saying, "But what about the Xirong Army?" ”

He Yu nodded and stabbed Hongclaw again.

Hongclaw resigned himself to his fate, and continued to relay: "The military advisor thinks that the number of surrendered people is too large to be reasonable, and how can there be a large-scale war that only sends two useless generals to command? On closer inspection, there is something wrong with this matter. ”

"Miss also said that it was wrong!" Chunhe was a little anxious: "So we are in the middle of the scheme?" ”

Zhong Zhiyu shook his head, "It's not like it's a plan, but I think... They must have a back-up move. ”

Chunhe gave hot tea, and brought hot water to twist a handkerchief for He Yu, before saying, "After General Huang and General Lin discussed today, I asked General Huang to inquire about the situation, and General Huang said that he had reported the encounter with the enemy in Zhanzhou, and presumably the army transferred to the Baili Ancient Road would soon rush back." ”

He Yu was a little embarrassed and wanted to take the handkerchief and wipe it himself, but he was stared back by Chunhe, so he had to give up.

Chunhe wiped his face and hands for He Yu, and continued, "Xirong's main army is already near the Baili Ancient Road, even if we want to act as a backhand here, it will be about the same time as our army in Dayu, maybe we don't have to worry so much." ”

Hongpaw nodded and yawned, apparently wanting to go back to sleep.

"Having said that...... Zhong Shuyu was still not at ease, "If I am the king of Xirong, since Zhanzhou is my real target, then I will not let the main army go to the north, which is thousands of miles away—even if it is to hide people's eyes, after all, it is really half the effort." ”

"But that's what King Xirong did, and Xirong's main army was transferred to the Baili Ancient Road." Hongclaw stretched out his hands.

"Wait a minute!" Zhong Zhiyu looked up with blazing eyes, she seemed to have found a blind spot, "Have any of you seen the main army go to the Baili Ancient Road with your own eyes!?" ”

Several people were stunned.

Chunhe recalled, "We just saw the army going north, and the news we heard revolved around the Baili Ancient Road, so we had a preconceived idea that the main army was going to the Baili Ancient Road......

Hongclaw finally realized the seriousness of the matter, "So what should we do now?" The soldiers are sleeping soundly. ”

"Blame me for being careless."

Zhong Zhiyu slammed his fist on the table, so frightened that He Yu unconsciously hiccuped, and his tongue straightened, "Maybe their back hands will be tonight, and we don't have to be so anxious......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a rapid horn sound coming from the direction of the sentry post, and several people looked at each other, and they all propped up their tired bodies and ran out - of course, He Yu was still supported by Hongclaw.

A few people were sleeping in Lin Rong's house, and when they arrived in the front hall, Lin Rong was already dressed and anxiously preparing to go to the direction of the sentry post.

"General Lin, what's wrong?"

Lin Rong didn't have time to greet a few people when he saw them, and said as he walked in stride, "Just now, the soldiers under my command came to report that there was an enemy attack. ”

Enemy attack?

Zhong Xiyu was stunned when she heard this word, but she soon understood why it was an enemy attack, because the dozens of soldiers defending the city were now only in single digits!

"What's going on?"

Lin Rong glanced at the surrounding environment that didn't seem to be abnormal, and asked in a deep voice.

The sentry who blew the trumpet hurriedly stood up, and said with palpitations, "General Hui, our soldiers all disappeared suddenly one by one, and when their subordinates realized it, most of them had disappeared. ”

"Suddenly gone?" Lin Rong scolded sharply: "Is it possible, do you still want to say that these people were captured by ghosts?" ”

The sentry hurriedly pleaded guilty, "The subordinates don't dare, but the subordinates said the truth, and after the accident, they immediately sent someone to inform you, but during this period, our people are still decreasing, and the subordinates saw that something was wrong, so they hurriedly blew the trumpet." ”

Although it sounded absurd, the sentinel's reaction and actions could not be faulted, so Lin Rong let him go and let him continue to be on guard, while he patrolled with some of the soldiers who came with him.

Special attention was paid to the corners where dirt could be hidden, but nothing was found.

Zhong Zhiyu asked Hongzhuchun to accompany He Yu to rest at the city gate, and she also joined the search team with Dusk Cloud, she didn't believe it, how could so many big living people disappear silently.

He Yu didn't believe it, but his current situation couldn't help much, so he had to look for some clues on the city gate, and this search really found something unusual for him.

Not the trail of the vanishing soldiers, but the sand that shook faintly on the ground.

This sand and gravel is hidden in the darkness of the night, and it is impossible to find it unless you look at it.

He Yu looked solemn, pulled Hongclaw Chunhe to look at it together, and when Chunhe was still a little dazed, he reached a consensus with Hongclaw, "There is a large army pressing the realm, and most of them are cavalry." ”

The trumpet sounded again, blowing away the dark clouds that blocked the moonlight, and the moonlight finally sprinkled on the land, illuminating a large area of Xijon troops in the distance.

They are menacing, as if they have a chance to win.

At the same time, there were screams from the prison cells where the prisoners were held in Zhanzhou City, and it was the surrendered Xirong army who escaped and slaughtered them.

“…… It turned out to be an offensive that should be combined with the outside world. ”

Zhong Zhuoyu's heart was heavy, and a touch of worry climbed between his eyebrows, "Quick, gather the soldiers and prepare to defend the city!" ”

Twilight used the fastest speed of her life to give orders, trusting her young lady unconditionally.

But Zhong Zhiyu knew that if there was no miracle, this battle would be a life of death.
