Chapter 243: Lost
Although the soldiers of Da Yin are strong, every time they pass through a city, there will be casualties in any battle, so all the way down, the soldiers are decreasing layer by layer, from the initial more than two million soldiers, to more than one million, to hundreds of thousands, but fortunately, now it is the end, hundreds of thousands are enough, and there will be no more sacrifices.
When it came to the last city of Bayi, the faces of the soldiers of Dayin clearly showed the joy of victory, and even the six generals were faintly excited.
The gates of Bayi were closed, and there were no soldiers guarding the city walls, so the whole city was very quiet.
After a while, the gates opened, and the king of the last small kingdom came out, taking all the ministers and the people with him.
After they came out, they stood in two rows like servants, and gave way to the main road into the city and gave way to Nie Qingwan and Da Yin's generals and soldiers.
This is actually normal, as the last city, there is really no need to resist.
No wise monarch would gamble on a fruitless outcome.
After the Qu Shang and Shang countries, they went south all the way, and there were indeed many small countries like Bayi, opening their gates to welcome them into the city.
Of course, Nie Qingwan did not rush into the city, she would observe the attitude and state of these people in advance, but if she found that it was wrong, it would be a disaster to slaughter the city.
Probably knowing her thoughts, Hongkun and Zuo Jie were very obedient, including the ministers behind them, and the people.
These people have endured humiliation for many years, and they learned that Qu Guo was destroyed, Shang Guo was overthrown, and Qu Shang died, how could they not hate this queen mother and these executioners of Da Yin!
They hate.
But how much hatred you have in your heart, how obedient you are on your face.
Such obedience was shown, and no matter how sharp Nie Qingwan's eyes were, she didn't find anything wrong.
It may also be that in the last city, even Nie Qingwan has slackened.
Therefore, she led Yin Xuan, other generals and Da Yin soldiers into the city.
After all, along the way, the soldiers are also very tired, continuous battles, although there are occasional rests, but long-term battles, how can they not be tired? Even if it is rest, it is also tense nerves, and if it is said to be rest, it is not necessarily good to rest.
But today is different, as soon as you enter the city today, it will be a complete rest.
Because after today, they won't be fighting any more.
The group entered the city happily.
The people of the city also greeted each other with great joy.
Hongkun and Zuo Jie also behaved very obediently, vacated the palace for Nie Qingwan and his party to rest, and then entertained them with good wine and food, and arranged a lot of civilian houses for the Dayin soldiers to rest.
The soldiers of Da Yin were also tired, so they fell asleep after eating and drinking.
Nie Qingwan and the others lived in the palace, and they ate and slept to their heart's content.
The reason why they slept soundly was because there was no movement in the city.
Hongkun and Zuo Jie didn't move, and neither did the people.
Nie Qingwan calculated a lot, and she wouldn't have thought that Qu Shang was more ruthless than her, Hongkun and Zuo Jie were more ruthless than her, and even the people of the entire Bayi were more ruthless than her.
They lured them into the city with their own bait, and let them down their guard, and at night they blew up the whole of Bayi, where they all died.
The first to notice that something was wrong was Yin Xuan's Heavenly Son Sword.
The Son of Heaven Sword has always been carried by Yin Xuan, pressed under the pillow when he sleeps, and worn on his waist when he walks, as long as the Son of Heaven Sword has something wrong, he can immediately find out.
In the middle of the night, the sword of the Son of Heaven was very hot, which woke Yin Xuan up.
It was very dark in the house, and it was very quiet all around, and if you listened carefully, you could still hear the insects in the grass, and when it was dark, Yin Xuan would be cross-legged on the bed, and he slowed down for a while.
When his gaze adjusted to the darkness in the room, he reached out and lifted the pillow to take the Son of Heaven Sword.
As soon as he got the Son of Heaven Sword in his hands, he felt that something was wrong.
It seems that at the same time as his hand touches the sword, the feeling of being surrounded by fire that day wells up in his heart.
Yin Xuan chuckled violently in his heart, and a very ominous premonition rushed to his mind, he almost didn't have time to get dressed, picked up the Son of Heaven Sword and rushed out in a hurry.
He went to pat Nie Qingwan's door, and he patted it, he couldn't wait, and without waiting for anyone to open the door, he directly lifted his foot, kicked the door hard, kicked the door open, and then broke in.
Ren Ji went to sleep separately, and Nie Yin slept outside guarding Nie Qingwan.
Nie Yin didn't wake up when the first knock sounded, and he didn't wake up until Yin Xuan broke in in stride.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Yin Xuan burst open the bedroom door again and rushed in.
Nie Yin was startled, and most of her sleepiness suddenly dissipated, she got up and followed into the house.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw that Yin Xuan had already rushed to the bedside, stretched out his hand and picked up the girl on the bed.
Nie Yin was slightly stunned.
Yin Xuan didn't have time to explain to her, so he only said urgently: "If there is danger, go out of the city first, and then talk about it when you get out of the city." ”
Nie Yin saw that his face was solemn, and what he said was serious, although he didn't know why, he still listened, nodded and said, "I'll call the others." ”
Yin Xuan paused and glanced down at the girl in his arms.
Nie Qingwan didn't wake up when she was picked up by Yin Xuan, although Nie Qingwan was sixteen years old, and Yin Xuan was only thirteen years old, but unfortunately, Yin Xuan was taller than Nie Qingwan and stronger than her.
Holding her, he was completely unburdened.
The girl nestled in his arms, probably uncomfortable, and her pretty brow furrowed.
Yin Xuan wanted to just hold her like this, ignoring everyone and leaving first.
But he couldn't.
She wouldn't let him do it.
Yin Xuan reluctantly put Nie Qingwan in Nie Yin's hand, and whispered, "You take the Queen Mother out first, and I'll call the others." ”
Nie Yin said, "Okay." ”
Time was pressing, Yin Xuan didn't delay, turned around and left.
Not long after he left, Nie Qingwan woke up, because Nie Yin couldn't hold her and woke her up.
After Nie Qingwan woke up, she rubbed her eyes, glanced at Nie Yin a little inexplicably, then looked around again, and then looked down at herself.
Seeing that she was not on the bed, but on the chair, she was even more puzzled.
Nie Yin said: "It's good if you wake up, don't ask anything, follow me out of the city first." ”
Nie Qingwan was stunned: "Out of the city? ”
Nie Yin said: "Well, just now Yin Xuan came over and said that there is danger in the city, let me take you out of the city first, although I don't know what the danger is, but since he said that there is danger, there should be no fake, I will take you out first." ”
As soon as Nie Qingwan heard that there was danger in the city, she immediately dispersed the sleepy insects, opened her eyes wide, looked at her for a moment, stood up and walked out.
Nie Yin hurriedly chased her with her clothes: "I haven't put on clothes yet." ”
Nie Qingwan strode out, her voice was cold: "I don't have time to wear it, and I may not have time to run out of the city." ”
She turned around again and said to Nie Yin, "Auntie, use light skills." ”
Nie Yin was stunned, but she still stepped forward to hug her, picked up her light skills, and flew towards the city gate.
However, it was true that as Nie Qingwan expected, they didn't have time to run out of the city.
When they left the palace gate, the whole Ba Yi suddenly seemed to be filled with a volcano, from the royal house to the streets to every house to the city walls, all of which spontaneously combusted.
The people of Bayi, the soldiers, including Hongkun and Zuojie, lay there as if they had fallen into death, quietly enjoying the final funeral.
They don't look at the results, and they don't pay attention to how the Empress Dowager and the crown prince of Da Yin and those generals or soldiers of Da Yin are, this time, whether they live or die, they really resign themselves to fate.
Yin Xuan and Nie Qingwan naturally didn't have time to pay attention to them at this time, Nie Qingwan knew that she had to go out first, because she didn't have any combat power, and she was the person everyone was most worried about, if she stayed in the city, they would definitely be very worried, only if she stood safely outside the city, they would have the confidence to overcome everything.
Yin Xuan went to call everyone, but before he could call everyone, the fire had already filled the entire Bayi.
Then all kinds of cries filled the night.
The oil fire was very densely spread, and when the fire broke out, there was almost no place to escape, which was even more terrible and terrible than the oil fire disaster encountered in Shang Country last time.
Feng Chang got up.
Yin Tianye got up.
Nie Xifeng got up.
Nie Buwei got up.
Chen Wen slashed up.
Ren Ji also got up.
The soldiers of Da Yin also got up.
They quickly gathered at the gates of the city.
Yin Xuan used the sword of the Son of Heaven to resist the fire and split the road, but the fire was too big, and this kind of fire could burn almost anyone.
Halfway through, Yin Xuan's internal strength was exhausted, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden, and as soon as his knee touched the ground, he was burned by the ground, and the pain came along the tendons.
Feng Chang immediately pulled him up.
The rest concentrated all their forces and opened the way in the fire.
Yin Xuan was very worried about Nie Qingwan, I don't know if she was out of the city at this time, at this time, the soldiers fled to the door one after another, and no one cared about anyone.
Ren Ji wanted to find Nie Qingwan, but the fire was so big, where could he find it? You can only rush to the city gate.
Everyone was rushing to the gates.
Nie Yin was the first to take Nie Qingwan out, so when the fire broke out, she had already led Nie Qingwan to the city gate.
It's just a pity that they are completely safe by one step.
The fire was menacing, there was almost no place to stand, Nie Qingwan had no martial arts, if it burned or hurt, it would be terrible.
Nie Yin directly picked up Nie Qingwan, covered her with clothes, and rushed towards the city gate.
The fire had just burned, and the walls were not yet destroyed.
It would have been nice to get out if the walls were destroyed, but when the walls were burned, they would probably have been burned to char as well.
So, you have to rush out.
Nie Yin used internal force to protect her body, which could support her for a short time, which was enough for her to send Nie Qingwan out safely.
However, as it happens, the gates are closed at night.
They were the first to run here, so they were the first to open the gates.
It also takes time to open the city gates, especially under such a fire, in addition to spending time, it also consumes internal energy.
Therefore, after such a toss, Nie Yin obviously felt dry mouth and dizzy eyes.
When the gates were finally opened and they could go out, an entire wall was smashed down overhead, accompanied by a raging fire.
If you hit it, you will die on the spot.
But it was obviously too late to dodge, because the country of Bayi was too small, the city wall was too low, and the distance from which the wall fell was too short, and it was impossible to escape.
Nie Yin closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and inhaled all the fire, she only felt that her lungs were about to be burned dry, and then she looked at Nie Qingwan in her arms, she was also coughing.
She hung her head, tore off her clothes and put them over her mouth and nose, and with the last bit of internal strength, she threw her out fiercely, several meters away.
Nie Qingwan's eyes were full of stars, and she finally sat up with the pain, and saw a scene that made her eyes split.
The wall smashed down with the fire, and it was smashing into Nie Yin's head, smashing her whole body down at once.
Nie Qingwan lost and shouted: "Aunt! ”
She cried to her feet and staggered to the city gates.
At this time, she didn't care about the fire, she just wanted to run over and rescue her aunt.
But as soon as she was about to pounce in, she was hit by Yin Xuan, who had finally run out, had burned all over her body, and her mental and physical strength were obviously exhausted.
Yin Xuan saw that she was safe, and finally let go of the heart he was holding onto, and it could be seen that she was about to throw herself into the fire again, so he immediately reached out and hugged her fiercely and hugged her out.
Nie Qingwan cried and kicked in his arms: "Auntie-I want to save my aunt!" ”
Nie Yin was smashed into the fire by the wall, and Yin Xuan also saw the scene that disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the people who rushed out one after another also saw it.
Ren Ji also saw it.
But seeing it can't help.
They were lucky to be able to make it.
There were many people who died, Nie Buwei and Nie Xifeng and Chen Wen's deputy generals were all dead, and there were so many Da Yin soldiers, and the wails were all over Bayi.
The people who rushed out were also in all kinds of miserable situations, and they all sat on the ground, looking at the country in front of them that was engulfed in flames.
Nie Qingwan was out of breath crying, and kept shouting "aunt" in her mouth, such a sad voice, combined with the miserable howl of the screams and shouts of the burned people who did not escape from the city, and the crackling sound of various breaks that were burned by the fire, finally converged into the most painful note in this battle of conquest.
Nie Qingwan might never have imagined that they would be subjected to such vicious calculations in the last city.
Nie Qingwan would never have thought that she would lose her aunt.
In this last city, at the end of this end, she lost her loved ones.
Nie Qingwan cried and cried and passed out directly, scaring Yin Xuan to death, he shouted loudly: "Nie Zong! Nie Zong! ”
Nie Zong also escaped, but his condition was very bad, and now he is also unconscious.
He was rescued by Nie Buwei and Nie Xifeng, but unfortunately, he was also seriously injured, and he didn't see the scene where Nie Yin died at the city gate.
But Nie Buwei and Nie Xifeng saw that scene.
Their eyes were red, but they didn't cry.
Because they were also badly injured and exhausted, they didn't move.
It wasn't until Yin Xuan screamed loudly that they reluctantly stood up and walked over to take Nie Qingwan over.
But Yin Xuan didn't lose it, he just said in a trembling voice: "Send the message, send the message, pass the message quickly!" Send a message to Ding'an County and ask them to come to their aid! ”
Ding'an County is the Great Yin Xin County of the five small countries, including the Nanfeng Kingdom that was previously unified, and it belongs to the southern county, so it is the fastest to send troops from Ding'an County to help.
Among the few people, the only one who can still act is Ren Ji.
Ren Ji took on this important task, went to the previous country to borrow a horse, and immediately went to Ding'an County to ask for reinforcements.
As soon as the reinforcements arrived, everyone followed them to Ding'an County to be settled and treated.
And the news that the Empress Dowager and the crown prince of Dayin, as well as the major generals and soldiers, had suffered heavy losses in the last city, Bayi, did not go away.
When the news spread, Kyushu was shaken!
The royal family of the Yin clan headed by Yin De was angry, the people of the Nie clan led by Nie Wujing were angry, the courtiers were angry, the people of the Great Yin Empire were angry, and even Xia Qian was very angry after hearing the bad news and hearing that the Queen Mother was still unconscious.
As soon as Nie Yi and Su Anxian heard that Nie Yin was dead, Nie Qingwan was still unconscious, and where was she still sitting, so they hurried to Ding'an County that day.
It took a month to arrive in a hurry.
A month later, Nie Qingwan also woke up, but she was in a very bad spirit, often sitting alone in front of the window in a daze, often having nightmares, and then a long-term headache.
Yin Xuan saw Nie Qingwan crying silently at the window alone many times, and then rubbed her forehead, in pain.
She said that day that she was guilty and therefore deserved such retribution.
She let others live and die, so God also punished her and let her taste the taste of life and death.
He saw her hugging Nie Xifeng and crying, hugging Nie Buwei and crying, but only, she wouldn't hug him and cry, except for crying like a child in front of Nie Buwei and Nie Xifeng, she was silent in front of these people.
Although she was in pain, sad, and sad, she disguised herself well in front of them.
Yin Xuan didn't want her to pretend, he would rather her hug him and cry and say that she was sad, than he wanted her to pretend that nothing happened.
Yin Xuan thought, I may really be a son to you, because no mother will show sadness in front of her son and show her most vulnerable side.
But I'm not your son, Wanwan, I don't want to be your son!
When Nie Qingwan was in pain, Yin Xuan was also in pain, and his pain was not understood by the people of the world, and he could not say it to the people of the world.
Fortunately, as soon as Nie Yi and Su Anxian came, the situation improved.
Parents are always the most healed existence in this world, with Nie Yi and Su Anxian accompanying Nie Qingwan every day, enlightening her, and taking her out for a walk, she gradually stopped crying, and occasionally showed a little smile on her face, Su Anxian accompanied her at night, as long as she had a nightmare, Su Anxian would pat her and coax her, slowly, she didn't even have nightmares.
It's just that no one dares to mention the name Nie Yin anymore, even the Nie family, and they don't mention it.
Nie Yin was inscribed on the merit record of the Great Yin Empire.
She saved the Queen Mother and was the first person to make military contributions.
Nie Qingwan seemed to have forgotten about that incident, but everyone knew that she hadn't forgotten, because she didn't add any maids, and after that, all her affairs were taken care of by Ren Ji alone.
stayed in Ding'an County for half a year, and in the spring of the second year, Nie Yi and Su Anxian left, and this year, Nie Qingwan was seventeen years old and Yin Xuan was fourteen years old.
Nie Qingwan did not return to China, but devoted herself to the follow-up Anbang Dingye, and together with Xia Qian, she devoted herself to the pacification and transformation of all the small countries after the trauma, redividing the region, opening up a new county, and giving it a new name.
