Ye Qianxue knew this, but she couldn't write the worry in her heart on her face, she knew that she was the commander of Luoyang at the moment, and she was the spiritual pillar of the soldiers. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As he was thinking about it, there was a faint muffled cough in his ears, which seemed to be the sound of someone trying to restrain but couldn't hold back.

Ye Qianxue looked back, and saw an elderly veteran sitting aside, covering the corners of his mouth with his hand and trying his best to endure something, seeing Ye Qianxue turn around and notice, he didn't turn his head and coughed a few times before getting up hurriedly and said: "The county lord of Zhaoyang forgives the sin, the old man did not mean to disturb the county lord's thoughts." ”

Ye Qianxue frowned, obviously, what she was thinking in her heart had been completely seen through by this veteran, and she only listened to her: "It's okay, you are infected with wind and cold?"

The old soldier said: "Yes, people are old, and this body is no longer as strong as before, but don't worry, just rest for a while." ”

After speaking, he coughed lightly a few times, but the hand was still at the corner of his mouth and not taken off.

Mo Zhongqing on the side frowned slightly when he saw this, and listened to Ye Qianxue again: "Why do you still come to this city wall to suffer at such an old age? But someone forced you to join the army? Tell me who it is, the lord of this county will be the master for you." ”

This Ye Qianxue was about to call an officer who was following far behind him, but unexpectedly, the old soldier waved his hand hurriedly and said: "Don't worry, the county lord, no one has forced the old man, it was the old man who came voluntarily, cough cough... Ahem..."

After a sharp cough, he paused, and then said: "My old bone has guarded the door of this south wall for twenty-eight years, and I have already had feelings for it. When you are old, you can watch the sunrise and sunset on this wall every day, which is a special fun.

But now it has suffered a great calamity, and it has been destroyed by thieves like this, and the old man's heart hurts, so last night he put on his armor again and went into battle, trying to kill a man who is enough, how can I expect that my old bones want to die but can't die, and those young people who haven't even begged for daughters-in-law have given their lives in vain one by one! Hey, now that the world is declining, people's hearts are not ancient, and the county lord can still have such a good man under him, why worry that this Luoyang can't be stable? So, the county lord must not worry about it, everything has us!"

After speaking, the old soldier patted his chest and tried his best to reassure, but then he coughed violently,

Mo Zhongqing seemed to see that something was wrong, and suddenly reached out and pulled the old soldier's palm to cover his mouth, and sure enough, he saw that the palm was covered with blood stains of different colors, so he asked urgently: "How long have you been coughing up?"

Ye Qianxue frowned when she heard this, and said, "Someone!"

The officer who was listening to the order not far away saw the sudden change in the face of the county lord of Zhaoyang, and hurried over, and said, "Dare to ask the county lord what he commanded!"

Ye Qianxue didn't look back, she already said coldly: "What about the medical officer, why is this old man so seriously ill but no one asks!"

When the officer heard her tone be extremely harsh, he shrank his head and said cautiously, "This... I can't hide it, not to mention the military medical officer, even the private doctors in the city have been requisitioned one after another, but there are so many wounded that they can no longer take care of everything, and I ask the county lord to forgive me..."

On the side, Mo Zhongqing took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and said to the old man: "There are a few pills in this bottle, if you can trust me, you will take one pill a day to alleviate the symptoms, and when you can stay in Luoyang, please go to the hospital for medical treatment, because this disease is not a cold, look at your face and this bloodstain clearly looks like tuberculosis, if you don't treat it anymore, you may have to worry about your life." ”

When the old soldier saw him hand over the white jade porcelain bottle, he smiled and didn't take it over: "The little brother can recognize the decay lesion at a glance, which shows that the medical skills have three points of fire, but let's take this medicine back." The old man knows that he can't die. However, the little brother can take out this porcelain vase as soon as he asks, if it is not a coincidence and the right symptom, then it is a treasure that cures all diseases, so don't waste it on the old decay. ”

Mo Zhongqing said: "Then please go down and rest first, it's not appropriate to work anymore!"

The veteran stopped first, and turned to Ye Qianxue with a smile and said: "Since the old man has put on this armor again, he doesn't want to go down this city wall alive! ”

Ye Qianxue was slightly stunned, then saw that the veteran suddenly smiled again, looked not far away and said: "What should come will always come, don't worry too much about the county lord, I think I have guarded the south wall for so many years, and the kung fu of observing words and expressions has also become a little hot, the county lord, please look, judging from the face of the herald who came not far away, it seems that the enemy army is coming." ”

As the veteran said, the two of them saw a herald coming in a hurry, and when they came to the nearest place, they immediately bowed down and said: "Lord of the county, according to the report from the scouts who have dispersed, the enemy army has been found in the suburbs of the first fifty miles to the east. ”

Ye Qianxue said: "How many are here!"

The herald glanced at the countless wounded soldiers around him, and the veteran who was separated suddenly hesitated, Ye Qianxue couldn't help but say coldly when he saw him: "Speak! Say it loudly, how many are coming!"

When the herald heard this, he said in a deep voice: "It is reported that I am afraid, I am afraid that it is several times more than our army." ”

"How many times ......"

Ye Qianxue paused and said with difficulty: "The letter I sent out in the morning has not been returned?"

The herald shook his head and said straightly: "No, the three counties headed by Luan Chuan have not replied for some reason, and the letter to the capital is probably still on the way." ”

"Orphaned......"

Ye Qianxue muttered to herself, gradually lost her voice, and no one around spoke anymore, it was already difficult to see the extreme on everyone's faces, and the atmosphere on the south wall seemed to have dropped to freezing all of a sudden.

When he was young, the old soldier smiled heroically, slowly stood up, slammed the city brick three times with the handle of his gun, gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Isn't it just in time? Alone, you should fight against the water! Dolls, tell the old man that you are afraid of death!"

Suddenly, both the wounded who were sitting and the soldiers who were busy handling the corpses slowly gathered over, looked solemn, raised their guns, and said in unison to the veteran: "Don't be afraid!!"

The veteran smiled in the face of the growing crowd and said: "The thieves are strong, and they want to destroy my homeland and adultery my wife and children!

The blood of the soldiers surged, and they echoed angrily: "Dry, dry, dry......"

More and more soldiers of the city wall were encouraged to gather in this direction, and in less than a moment, there was a faint commotion on the south wall.

Seeing such a scene, Ye Qianxue and Mo Zhongqing both had different colors on their faces, and they couldn't believe that this ordinary veteran who had no official rank actually had such prestige and appeal in the army.

Why were such people not promoted to official ranks, and some of the people who stayed in the camp last night for fear of death became commanders?

Ye Qianxue was lamenting in her heart, could it be that the officer class of the Luoyang defenders was rotten to the bones?

The veteran waved his hand, and waited for the shouting to gradually stop, then he turned his head to Ye Qianxue and said resolutely: "Although the old man has no wife and no children under his knees, he has been in the Luoyang army for many years, and there are a few others in the army who are as old and immortal as the old man, so don't look at this group of dolls, although they are only a small part, but the old man dares to pat his chest and assure that the Luoyang defenders are not as the county lord thinks, and they can represent the determination of most of the defenders.

"Yes, as long as the military spirit is not dispersed, there is nothing to worry about!"

Listening to the veteran's words, Mo Zhongqing's expression was slightly excited, his chest was hot, and his eyes were filled with three points of surprise and seven points of admiration.

Looking at it again, Ye Qianxue just nodded slightly at the veteran, and then climbed the wall battlement and slowly looked at each soldier and said: "There were originally 50,000 troops in this Luoyang, which can be said to be the unbreakable Jincheng soup pool!

But now, I am fortunate to have all my brothers who will never give up, and I am willing to fight against the thief again! So I swear here in the name of my father Ye Tianshuo that Ye Qianxue will not die for a day, and Luoyang will not die for a day!"

In just one sentence, this Ye Qianxue not only showed her determination to take all the blame on herself, but no one wanted to blame her. Because the news of Jiang Houcheng's death in Qinglou has spread, everyone more or less knows in their hearts that Jiang Houcheng should be fully responsible for this incident.

After a while, I heard her say again: "However, determination alone is not enough, so immediately send an order to go down, remove all the defenders of the city wall, rest in the city, close your eyes, rest, and wait for the enemy! I will give you three hours to rest and prepare!"

"Three hours?"

All the soldiers on the city wall looked at each other when they heard this, and the old soldier's face was also a little ugly, after all, the enemy army had reached the outskirts of fifty miles, even if there were no pioneers to harass during this period, but three hours was enough for the group of rebels to come to the city.

So......

Everyone looked at Ye Qianxue, and they heard her say confidently: "So I need a thousand dead soldiers to go out of the city with me to fight." I can't guarantee that whoever goes will come back alive, but I can promise that I will use every ounce of your strength, every bit of blood, even my own, to slow down the rebels and win these precious three hours for all my comrades in the city!

"Huh!"

Without hesitation, almost at the same time, the tip of the cold and blood-stained spear was raised by all the soldiers, and for a moment, the blades of the group were dazzling, and that was because there was blood burning.

Ye Qianxue looked left and right and nodded with satisfaction, and at this time, the veteran spoke up again: "County Lord, I don't think this move is appropriate." ”

"Huh?"

Ye Qianxue said faintly respectfully: "Please also speak." ”

The veteran arched his hand slightly and said, "You are the daughter of the marshal, and you are the spiritual leader of the entire Luoyang at present. So if you want to go, you will also be old. ”

Mo Zhongqing said quickly: "No, I'll go." ”

When he said this, he had already imagined in his heart that he would meet the second senior brother, and he believed that even if he was arrested, he would not kill me.

Mo Zhongqing didn't know why he suddenly gained confidence again, maybe it was because he listened to Qingqing's remarks, maybe it was because he didn't want to believe the facts in front of him.

Either way, he felt that he was better suited than the veteran.

Who knew that Ye Qianxue immediately shook his head and said: "You can't go, once you don't know the art of war, going is equivalent to giving away the lives of these dead soldiers in vain, and it won't achieve the expected effect." Second, your friend Miss Dong is still in a coma at the moment, and if you wake up and you are not there at that time, I am afraid that the consequences will be unpredictable. ”

Mo Zhongqing's heart sank, and he forgot about this stubble as soon as his brain was hot.

Yes, Dong Zhaoyi is so asleep, if she wakes up and doesn't see herself, she will definitely run around, and if she is stopped by the guards, with her indifferent nature, she may have to kill people and cause chaos.

The veteran smiled and said: "Don't fight, let's let the old man do it for me, I have been a soldier for so many years, and I haven't led a soldier yet, but the county lord can be trusted to be old?"

Ye Qianxue looked at the veteran and didn't say anything immediately, as if she wanted to imprint his old and wrinkled face like orange peel in her mind, and only then did she say solemnly: "What's your name?"

"Hahaha!"

The old man laughed, and suddenly said: "The old man's surname is Lu, his name is Wengong, and the county lord can remember it." ”

Ye Qianxue nodded, took a deep breath and said, "Lu Wengong, now I will make you the deputy commander, and you can take as many people on this city wall as you can!"

"Lord Xie appreciates it, the old man will definitely ask the rebel young marshal to suffer some hardships, so that he knows that Jiang is still old and spicy!"

"Okay, but remember, come back alive!"

Ye Qianxue patted Lu Wengong's shoulders and said.

After that, Lu Wengong carried a full two thousand people out of the south gate, and the others quickly went down the city wall to rest on the spot, and no one would waste the time exchanged for blood.

In a few moments, the silence on the city wall was restored.

At this time, the sun is also the most brilliant time of the day, but there is always a trace of haze over the entire Luoyang City.

Ye Qianxue didn't go down the city wall, she was alone and caressed the wall battlements and looked in the direction where Lu Wengong and his soldiers were going.

After a long time, he finally took off his disguise, and his expression was indescribably melancholy.

She knew that Lu Wengong would definitely die if he went.

She also knew that Fang Cai had just said something beautiful.

Come back alive? Don't be kidding, okay? Can you fake it a little more?

Ye Qianxue really hated the sincere look in her eyes just now, because the more sincere she was, the more hypocritical she was at this time!

Yes, she knew she couldn't go at all, so someone had to do the task for her, to die for her.

She didn't have any plans to go out of the city to fight and delay time, but when she saw this Lu Wengong, she had this plan and this calculation.

She also knew that a person like Lu Wengong, as long as he said the decision to "go out of the city to fight", he would volunteer, and his group of soldiers would move forward.

This is really a bit despicable, which makes Ye Qianxue's face turn blue at the moment, but she knows that she must do this, and she must not have half of a woman's kindness.

"Mo Shaoying, I will settle this account on your head!"

As she spoke, Ye Qianxue slapped the city wall fiercely, and her face suddenly showed a touch of absolute color.
