In the middle of the night, there was a gun attack in the garrison area thirty miles outside the West Wind Pass, and the sound of artillery fire rumbled and spread directly to the town.

Shen Qiangrose didn't sleep well, but at this time, she woke up with the sound of artillery fire, and saw that Su Huiyi was getting dressed, so she couldn't help but say, "Where are you going?" ”

Su Huiyi buttoned up, turned around and said, "The attendant has gone to prepare the car, and I will send you to the headquarters first." ”

After saying that, he took the clothes and handed them over, and in the darkness he could only see her slightly hasty eyes, and he paused before saying, "When you get there, someone will take you away."

Shen Qiangrose couldn't help but be stunned, got up and asked, "What about you?" Won't you come with me? ”

Su Huiyi didn't seem to want to say more, squatted down and took her shoes over, seeing her sitting there in a daze, as if she had lost her soul, he sat on the edge of the bed and whispered, "You go first, I'll go to you soon." ”

Shen Qiangrose knew his thoughts, but at this time, the sound of artillery fire outside became more and more intensive, thinking that the west wind was being attacked on all sides, she knew that he would not just leave, but she couldn't help feeling sad in her heart, took the clothes and draped them on her body without saying a word, but he leaned down to put on his shoes, the room was dark, she couldn't see his expression, his palms were warm, and he gently put on her shoes, and then he raised his eyes to look at her, and vaguely saw that her eyes were shining, so he slowed down, and then said, "You wait for me." ”

She didn't say a word as if she was angry. He was also silent, until the car stopped at the gate of the courtyard, he took her and walked out, the wind on the summer night was also warm, the insects in the yard were bursting, and when he raised his eyes to look, he saw that the canopy was dyed orange and red by the fire, and it seemed that the ink was mixed with cinnabar, and it was mixed together, deep and dark.

She was in a different state of mind at this time, as if she was parting from life and death, and she didn't want to leave more and more, holding his hand tightly, "You are still injured, can't you go with me?" ”

The night was already dark and there was no sense of light, but there was a light outside the courtyard, and when he looked at it from a distance, it was just a thin circle of light, which could not reflect this end, and he stood in the darkness and said nothing, "I promise you, I will look for you soon." ”

She knew that now that the war had started, none of the people stationed in the position would be deserters, but she was always too narrow-minded as a woman. At this moment the artillery fire burst into the sky, as if it were devastating, and exploded in his ears, and he pulled her out of the courtyard, and the night wind became hot, and blew on his cheeks as if burning.

He opened the door and waited until she got into the car before instructing the attendant, "Get her out safely." ”

When she heard this, she realized that he had deceived her, and she became more and more panicked, and she was about to say something, but the door had been slammed shut by him, and she turned her head to look, and the electric light was shining on him, and he looked at her motionlessly, like a person carved in clay and wood. She wanted to see clearly, and the car was slowly driving up.

Her cheeks became hotter and hotter, and when she reached out to touch it, it turned out that she was crying.

Because of the martial law everywhere, the checkpoints were full of residents who gathered together, crying in the night, and the sound of cannon fire roared, like a sudden thunder, each sound seemed to be a talisman, stirring the heart tight.

The headlights were shining brightly on the road ahead, but it was also dark in front of her, and at such a time, seeing it in her eyes made her feel a lot of uneasiness. She couldn't help but gag, the driver didn't dare to delay, and asked her to endure it a little longer.

I don't know how long it took, but the sound of gunfire in my ears gradually subsided, the sky had turned dark blue, the occasional star flashed and flashed, and the mounds and plains in the distance were far and near, and the shadows were drawn by the dark night.

The driver was still engrossed, and she glanced at it, then closed her eyes tiredly. Behind him was still under fire, but the voice was low, and slowly the hall was not real.

She became more and more groggy, as if she would soon be able to fall asleep, but her mind was mixed up, and her heart was not pure, and she stalemate for a while before she said, "Send me back." ”

The driver was naturally very embarrassed when he got the strict order, but he still said, "Madam, Qishao's order is for me to send you away safely." ”

Shen Qiangrose knew his difficulties, but at this moment, she had to be quite unreasonable, "You send me back, or I will jump out of the car." ”

Her voice was soft, but it was loud. The driver was afraid that she would do something at this time, so he hurriedly said: "Madam, now that Xifeng Pass is exchanging fire with the enemy, you will only share the heart of seven less when you go back at this time, and there are three sons, you can rest assured." ”

Shen Qiangrose thought that she was a person with a big belly, and her actions were already inconvenient, if she really went back, she was afraid that she would only add to the chaos, she couldn't help but sigh and asked, "Where are we going?" ”

The driver drove the car attentively and replied: "To the south, that area is also the deployment area of the third son." It's all villages, but the army is stationed there, and it's safe. ”

Shen Qiangrose looked out the window, and saw that the night was silent, and there was a mountain path moving forward, the road was full of sand and gravel, and the car drove past was a rustling sound, she sighed inaudibly, and now at this time, she can only think about everything in a good way.

In the temporary headquarters of Xifeng Pass on this side, Su Huiyi and Su Ziyu were having a meeting with several chiefs of staff, and the artillery fire outside was even in the sky, which shook the building of the headquarters and trembled slightly.

It turned out that the Pingjia army suddenly called, because it was dark, and the two sides could not test how many people there were in the Pingjia army, but the other side was menacing, and the firepower was full, but it seemed that it had made a lot of effort, and even the line of the Xifeng Pass was cut off.

This stalemate lasted for two hours, with onslaught on both sides, and half of the sky was dark and dreary with artillery fire. The lights in the headquarters were bright, and Su Ziyu took the lead in studying the strategy, while Su Huiyi sat on the side and silently watched the defense map.

The guards quickly ran in, and after a report, they said: "The Pingjia army has called, and Staff Officer Mo has ordered people to retreat ten miles away." ”

Su Ziyu slapped the table and asked, "The nearest soldiers haven't arrived yet?" ”

The guard said, "Now there is an ambush of the Heijia army along the line, and there may be a fight on the road." ”

Su Huiyi frowned and said, "Since the reinforcements can't be counted on, we can only take a risky move." He put the defense map on the table, pointed to the pass to the north of the West Wind Pass, and said: "Bring them in first, and then send a few teams of people to sneak here to sneak attack, disperse their firepower, and it should be able to hold out until reinforcements come." ”

Su Ziyu groaned slightly, and said to the chief of staff on the side: "Go immediately." ”

He turned to Su Huiyi and said quite seriously: "Why don't you go with Rose?" What's the use of an injured patient staying here? ”

Su Huiyi silently lowered his head to look at the defense map, and saw that the surrounding areas were mounds and plains, so he said: "Xifeng Pass is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and at present, Lu Yuping's people are distributed in the north line, and there should not be many troops." ”

Su Ziyu saw that he didn't answer the question, but he didn't speak, only took out a cigarette and lit it, and took a slow puff, and the artillery fire outside was deafening. There were only two of them left in the headquarters, and the voices near and far were noisy, and after a while, Su Ziyu said: "I received a telegram last night that the second child blew up the train line in Mingyang and declared independence. ”

Su Huiyi was originally looking at the defense map, but when he heard this, he nodded, and said with no expression on his face: "He is the most ambitious of the three of us, which is expected." ”

He also took out a cigarette and lit it, the smoke lingering on his face, showing a faint melancholy expression. Get up and walk out, the wind chimes under the corridor are shaken by the night wind, ringing in the ears, the sky is still dark blue, just faintly revealing a layer of frost-like light, like a fine brocade, showing luster in the dark.

Seeing the guards hurriedly running in, "Report, reinforcements have arrived!" ”

Su Ziyu threw away the cigarette and strode out, seeing that the car had stopped outside the yard, he laughed heartily twice and patted Su Huiyi on the shoulder, "Old Seven, thanks to you this time." ”

Su Huiyi took a slow puff of cigarette and did not speak.

Several division commanders walked in one after another, and greeted them politely when they saw them, and now that the war is tight, Su Ziyu said a few polite words, and then began to command the operation, most of these people are his old department in the past, so they are very effective, and after the meeting, they went separately.

This battle lasted until four o'clock in the morning, when the Heijia army was forced to retreat to the rear and gradually extinguished the fire. Su Huiyi was injured, and the doctor gave him a hanging bottle early in the morning, because he was tired all night, and he fell asleep unconsciously.

He used to sleep on the second floor of the headquarters, and the people downstairs were very noisy. I vaguely heard Su Ziyu seem to be angry, "Didn't you tell you to take a good look at her?" Search immediately, make sure you find the person. ”

He couldn't sleep because of the noise, so he got up and pressed the corner of his forehead, and when he went out, he heard Su Ziyu say: "This bad woman, I will kill her sooner or later!" ”

Su Huiyi went down the stairs, and saw several chiefs of staff in the hall sitting on the side with indistinguishable faces, and Su Ziyu looked angry, and when he saw him, he said: "Old Seven, I said that Lu Yuping's people could pick this vacancy to call over, it turned out that Ruan Hongyu's slut ran out to ventilate and report the news!" ”

After hearing this, Su Huiyi's face was indifferent, "It must have been a discussion with Lu Yuping at that time." ”

Su Ziyu thought about it for a while, but waved his hand, "It's better to go." He paused, "Now that the second child is suddenly independent, there must be a lot of things for you to deal with in the south, I have arranged a special train to Jiangnan, you can take Rose away." ”
