Su Qi hugged her, and rolled her to the corner with his strength, and used his body to prop up a small space for her, completely protecting her under him.

Bai Zeqing recognized this person through the crook of Su Qi's arm, wasn't it the brother in the army who came to his uncle's house with wine a few days ago to congratulate Su Qi on his promotion? She only gritted her teeth and wept, but she couldn't cry.

"Brother." Bai Zeqing sobbed in a low voice, "I, I'm so scared ......"

Su Qi slid his throat, pulled the corners of his mouth to show a smile, and whispered comfortingly: "It's okay...... It's okay. ”

Bai Zeqing heard that Su Qi's breathing became very difficult, and there was a strong smell of blood between his breathing.

The wails around him had faded, and only the unbearable groans of pain and the roar of the wind remained.

"Brother." Bai Zeqing whispered in the dark corner where Su Qi arched his body, "I'll carry you away...... Elder brother. ”

Su Qi's body was like a twisted shield, he smiled, and said in a dumb voice, "Brother can move." ”

Drops of viscous and warm liquid fell down her neck and her cheeks.

"Brother, you, have you been shot?" Bai Zeqing's worry outweighed panic and uneasiness, she reached out to touch Su Qi's chain mail, moved gently, and looked for the injury.

Blood trickled down her armor and down her fingertips, quickly becoming cold.

"Nope." Su Qi smiled forcefully, and he said lightly, "...... Qusu Tartar's arrows, no, not allowed to ......" As he spoke, more blood gushed out of his throat.

Bai Zeqing's hands were covered with blood, she reluctantly wiped Su Qi's face, choked up and said, "Uncle made dumplings and waited for us to go home." Dumplings, dumplings are delicious, I've already eaten them secretly, brother, we eat a lot of bowls. ”

Su Qi's voice gradually became smaller: "Brother eats well...... Slow, you ...... Don't grab. ”

Bai Zeqing's hand had already touched the tip of the arrow that pierced Su Qi's chest, and the arrow shot through the chest from behind, but it did not penetrate the armor on the chest, but the clothes inside had been stained with blood, and even the blood was cold at the moment.

"Brother......" Bai Zeqing only felt that her blood was cold, she choked and couldn't speak.

Su Qi seemed to remember something, and said seriously: "In my arms...... Something...... Send your ......"

Bai Zeqing cautiously poked into the chain mail, slowly peeled off the wet and cold clothes, one layer, two layers, and finally found a delicately carved puppet figure on the layer of the underwear, which had been soaked in blood into a strange dark red.

"This is, my brother made it for you, Yuan Xili...... Do you want to learn wood carving...... This time, if ...... Can I go home...... Brother teaches you...... Brother ...... anything Teach you ......"

Bai Zeqing hugged the woodcarved figure tightly into his arms and nodded vigorously.

The snow gradually covered Su Qi's body, he seemed very sleepy, his voice became quieter, he wanted to smile at his sister, but he didn't even have the strength to pull the corners of his mouth.

"You've got a day...... Points, later...... Sure...... Brother Bi ...... "Before he finished speaking, Su Qi had already closed his eyes.

Bai Zeqing held Su Qi's hand tightly and said softly: "I'll learn from my brother, and when I learn well, I earn money, and I will marry my brother and sister-......in-law."

"Brother."

"Brother......

Bai Zeqing called softly.

Su Qi was silent, as if he had been tired of listening to her chatter for countless nights when he was a child, and couldn't help but fall asleep......

The thunderous sound of horses' hooves sounded again, as if someone in the distance was shouting "Reinforcements are coming......

Bai Zeqing struggled to open her eyes, trembling all over, she shook Su Qi slightly, and called him: "Brother, the reinforcements are coming, wake up, brother......"

When the sky was twilight, and the northwest iron horsemen came to cross the glacier with horses' hooves, the Qusu army was in the joy of easily capturing the city of Ningzhou, raping and abducting, killing people and setting fires, and looting on a large scale, so unhappy.

It wasn't until the fire in the baggage camp outside the city that a column of pitch-black heavy cavalry roared like thunder, crossed the Changning Pass, and rushed in from outside the gate of Ningzhou, that the Qusu army knew that something was wrong - as if last night's battle was repeated again, their sentinels were put on the reconnaissance and monitoring of the Jianmen border army and the defenders of Tongzhou and Jianzhou, and they never expected that the first to arrive was the expeditionary force far in the northwest.

However, the Northwest Iron Cavalry advanced steadily, fighting with the Qusu army street by street and alley, and swept away the remnants of resistance in the city.

The battle was cruel and fierce, the combat power of the Northwest Iron Cavalry was amazing, the fight was sacrificed to forget death, the scene was heroic, and the ending was not difficult to imagine: the 40,000 elite troops in the Northwest who had experienced a hundred battles swept away the Qusu army that had been running for a long time and slaughtered all night, and there was almost no suspense.

When the sun rose to noon, all the organized resistance was crushed, the Qusu military flag at the head of Ningzhou City was cut down, and the long eagle black flag of the Northwest Iron Cavalry fluttered high. There was no trace of Qusu's army in the city.

The city was broken overnight, and once recovered.

On the 16th day of the first month of the 78th year of the Cheng Tang Dynasty, the bright red sunset was setting in the west, and the second son of the Northwest Wang, the major general Wang Chi, led the Northwest Iron Cavalry of the first ace army of the Cheng Tang Dynasty to recover Ningzhou City.

However, to defend the strongest defense line in the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years, the Xisha fortresses on the periphery of Ningzhou, Tongzhou and Jianzhou were broken, the grain route was destroyed, the defenders of Changning Pass, Tongxia Pass and Jiannan Pass were forced to retreat, and the three counties of Xisha were destined to usher in continuous war.

The cold wind is howling, and the snow is blowing.

Bai Zeqing's head was chaotic, and he only felt colder and colder.

The sound of horses' hooves was like a dull thunderclap.

Reinforcements coming? It's reinforcements coming!

She saw the black armor of the Northwest Iron Rider in the corner held up by Brother Qi, she cried and clenched Brother Qi's already cold clothes, the blood was no longer dripping, and she couldn't wake up Brother Qi anymore.

She forgot how she managed to climb out. When she stood up against the wall, she choked up.

Su Qi's back was densely armed, and one person turned into a curled hedgehog, but his hands were so firmly supporting the wall and the ground, guarding Bai Zeqing. There was so much blood flowing on Bai Zeqing's body, and she was unharmed.

She swallowed her tears and shouted desperately in the direction of the black armor patrol: "I am the daughter of the county guard Baiyan, please take me back to the county guard's mansion!" ”

Her voice was too hoarse, and it wasn't until the fourth shout that it caught the attention of the Black-Armored Iron Rider.

Northwest birds of prey swirled in the sky, and the sound of armor jolting was heavy in the heart. The sound of horses' hooves approached, and Bai Zeqing saw the heavy cavalry led by him rushing straight ahead.

The horse under the heavy armor was like a beast of prey, and it had galloped a few steps away with the hot air, and suddenly reined in at the moment when it was about to collide. The horse's hooves rose high, and when they came to a stop, the man on horseback had already rolled over.

The person came to Bai Zeqing. Before Bai Zeqing could speak, this person kicked Bai Zeqing's heart with the speed of thunder!

The force of this kick was so great that Bai Zeqing opened his mouth and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the whole person had already rolled out, and his internal organs were about to vomit out for a while.

Bai Zeqing, who was guarded by Brother Qi's life, almost died directly under this foot.
