Chapter 46: Don't be disobedient
He Miao touched the dried mud on his face, and said in his heart that he had gotten people into the dung pit, and they only let themselves gnaw on their faces of thin mud, which was really polite.
It is she who is left alone, and she has to be treated the way of others.
He Miao is wilting, there is no way, there is a father who has a pit daughter, so he has to carry all the wind and rain by himself.
She sat on the edge of the cliff for a long time, and did not go back until the sun rose and the sun was too hot for her to stand it.
Xu Nan led several generals to sit in a circle, discussing tactics in a low voice.
There was a map in front of them, densely marked, He Miao was itching, and she wanted to lean over to look at it, but the other party intentionally or unintentionally cut off her sight, and she had no choice but to sit honestly under the shade of the tree.
In fact, she had seen the map of Longcheng, and she knew what was going on, but it was embarrassing for them to isolate her like this.
She found a place to lie down and recuperate, and when she slept hazy, she noticed that someone seemed to be approaching, and immediately looked out from between her eyelashes alertly, and saw Xu Nan standing in front of her expressionlessly, motionless.
She was a little nervous, and always felt that the other party wanted to kill someone.
However, Xu Nan only stood for a while and walked away, and she saw a thin blanket placed on the grass next to her.
He Miao was not polite, wrapped himself in a cocoon, and fell asleep completely.
As the twilight approached and the sun was setting, an unusual noise woke her.
She hurried along the path to the edge of the cliff, and saw Xu Nan lying there motionless, and several generals were even far away from the edge of the cliff, and everyone's expressions were very nervous.
He Miao stopped cautiously and whispered to the nearest general, "What's wrong?" Did the Jingren open the city gate and send reinforcements? ”
The general nodded: "Yes, the number of people is being counted." ”
The last trace of afterglow dissipated, and Xu Nan sat up straight: "Go out for 10,000 people." ”
Ten thousand out, ten thousand more in the city, and their small detachment is only four hundred people.
With 400 to 10,000, it is equivalent to a person fighting 25 people, and the other party has a city wall to rely on.
What to do?
Everyone's expressions were very solemn.
Xu Nan's gaze slowly swept over everyone's faces, and he said in a deep voice: "Let's all talk about our thoughts." ”
A person stood up and said: "It's not that I'm afraid of death, but the odds of winning are too small, and I always feel that I am dying in vain." ”
His words were echoed by the majority, who dared to receive the task and were not afraid of death, but there was no point in making senseless sacrifices.
Xu Nan was a little disappointed and looked at He Miao's face.
He Miao knew what Xu Nan wanted.
Xu Nan wanted to fight, his body and eyes had already ignited the intent to fight, and he couldn't wait to fight.
But this battle is not his own business, he needs the support and approval of these people, otherwise he will only lose miserably.
His thoughts coincided with hers, and she had enough reason to think that this battle was feasible, and she had the courage and strength to face it.
And at this moment, Xu Nan needs her support.
He Miao smiled: "Everyone is wrong, the odds are not too small, but bigger." Here we are, all we can see is this door...... There are no other doors in sight...... On the battlefield, deception is a common thing. ”
She nodded twice: "Our eyes will also deceive us, tonight, the city is empty, there are not ten thousand people at all, they have gone out through the other gates." ”
No one believed her, and they questioned her, "Did you see it with your own eyes?" Why are you so sure? ”
"You're still young, you haven't been on the battlefield, this kind of thing is not a joke, don't talk nonsense."
"Ignore her, what does she know?"
He Miao was fledgling and inexperienced, and she was a little flustered in the face of these unceremonious questions, and her gaze at Xu Nan was inexplicably calm: "Everyone, imagine that if you want to send people for emergency assistance, will you send people out in a big way?" You have to be tricky, don't you? ”
Xu Nan said in a deep voice: "If it were me, I would light torches everywhere on the city wall tonight, creating the illusion that there are many people and horses and strengthen the guard." ”
He Miao said: "Me too, Xiao Laojiao, the guard general of Longcheng, is such a person, I don't believe we will wait and see." ”
When night falls, countless lanterns and torches are lit up at the head of the city, and it is very lively.
This was a scene that had not been seen in the previous two nights, and the crowd began to hesitate and fall silent.
He Miao and Xu Nan spoke at the same time: "Did you see it?" ”
Xu Nan looked at He Miao, who bowed slightly, indicating that he was invited to speak.
"If you don't fight, you can indeed escape for the time being, but you should also think that maybe these days, the fighters that other comrades fought hard to win have also been wasted, and more comrades will lose their lives in the future. We will be sinners, do you want to be sinners and be spurned by men? ”
Xu Nan's voice was calm and powerful, which was calm and at the same time, his blood was gradually boiling.
I don't know who shouted first: "Fight!" ”
The others followed suit: "Fight! ”
Xu Nan pulled out the long knife, and the others also drew out the long knife, and several long knives were put together, shining in the cold light in the moonlight.
He Miao was very excited and wanted to go with her, but she didn't have a long knife, only a bow and a short sword.
Xu Nan silently handed over a long knife, she hurriedly followed, and said with a smile: "Fight!" ”
After everyone ate their last meal with cold water and dry food, Xu Nan ordered someone to take out some wine sacs, and said in a deep voice: "After tonight, many brothers will say goodbye to us forever, and they will be shrouded in horse leather, and they will no longer see the sun tomorrow." Please drink this wine as a farewell! ”
The atmosphere was sad and quiet, the wine bag was passed in the hands of everyone, everyone was fierce, and when it reached the hands of He Miao, she drank a big sip with tears in her eyes.
The spicy liquor ran down her throat, choking her coughing and tears.
This added some spice to the mournful and solemn atmosphere, and everyone laughed at her: "You stay, don't join in the fun, this kind of thing should be done by men." ”
He Miao was very nervous, for fear that Xu Nan would listen to them and really leave her behind.
But Xu Nan didn't say much, but directly gave an order: "Let's go!" ”
The leaves and grass were left behind by everyone, and the movements of He Miao were no less than those of these fierce men, she was dexterous and light, and they knew the mountains and forests even more deeply.
Xu Nan often paid attention to her before, and when she was so relieved, others also praised her: "It's really good." ”
He Miao was very proud, and he walked faster and faster.
Halfway through, everyone stopped and went to the cave to get the horse hidden.
He Miao turned over and rode around, hugged its neck and whispered, "Huahua, I'll see you tonight." ”
Xu Nan rode a horse and passed her, and said coldly: "Follow me, dare to drive you away immediately if you are disobedient." ”
