"Hehe," Chu Qiao sneered, and turned around, her back was tired and thin, "You can't even protect one party, and you still say it's for the great harmony of the world? It's ridiculous."
As soon as Chu Qiao lifted the curtain of the tent, she turned around and walked outside.
Miss Yu frowned, hurriedly chased her out, and said in a deep voice, "Chu Qiao, you want to go?"
"Yanbei is not my hometown, but it has always been my belief in life. If you don't want it, I want it. If you abandon it, I will protect it. Tell Yan Xun, if Chu Qiao dies, don't avenge her, she is not Died at the hands of others, she died at his hands."
"Stop!" Miss Yu said in a deep voice, "I won't let you go!"
Chu Qiao turned her head and smiled coldly, "You can kill me, except for the corpse, Chu Qiao will never step out of Yanbei."
Pulling out the dagger from her boots and laying it across her neck, Chu Qiao smiled miserably, walked towards the horse slowly, and then turned up, "The big mistake has not been made yet, it is still too late to turn around, it is not too late to rein in the precipice, tell him, I'll be waiting for him at the head of Beishuo City! Drive!" The girl's fur flew up with a roar, her horse's hooves stepped on the snow, and she flew away in an instant.
Song Qifeng stepped forward and said in a hurry: "Girl, how can you let Master Chu go? Your Highness reminds you not to tell your master about this..."
Miss Yu smiled quietly, her smile was indifferent, she slowly raised her head, the morning sun shone on her face, her face was as pale as paper, as if transparent.
My beloved Yan Bei, Zhong Yu is incompetent, that's all he can do.
"Send a message to Your Highness that Beishuo is in danger. Master Chu will stick to Chidu and help Beishuo. If it doesn't arrive in five days, Yanbei will perish and no one will be spared." After searching the whole city, there was still no sign of Mr. Chu. Finally, I learned from the guards at the north gate that my lord's personal guard had escorted a carriage to leave the city last night.
A desperate thought suddenly flashed through everyone's minds. The ragged soldier stood in the heavy snow and said tremblingly, "Did your lord abandon us?"
Before he finished speaking, he was kicked down by the officers and soldiers of the Southwest Township! He Xiao's younger brother, He Qi, said coldly: "My lord will not abandon us! Back then in Zhenhuang City, my lord never gave up on us under such circumstances, and he won't now either!"
"Then where did she go?" A Chidu City military supply guard cried in a tearful voice, "All officials are the same!"
The militiamen in Chidu City also became noisy and chaotic, and someone echoed: "It must be like this! She saw that we were about to lose, so she ran away secretly!"
"I've said it a long time ago, you can't believe what an official says, especially if you're a woman!"
"My God! The adults really abandoned us? What should we do?"
The momentum of the crowd grew louder, and some people began to cry in despair. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the strong wind blew up the snow on the ground, like paper money on the grave of the dead.
"What are you all doing here? The enemy is about to attack!" Commander He Xiao suddenly came striding forward, and shouted sharply with a gloomy expression.
"Commander He!" Someone ran up and said, "Your Excellency left us and ran away!"
"Impossible!" He Xiao interrupted him coldly, and said in a deep voice, "I don't believe it. All the soldiers in the Southwest Township's government will not believe it. Your lord is not this kind of person."
"But… "
"I just want to hear this kind of thing once. If I hear anyone who framed your lord and ruined your reputation again, he will be the enemy of our Southwest town government envoy!"
The man pulled out his waist knife, and the sharp blade shone brightly in the air, "What are you still doing? Go to the tower!"
After a night of rest, Daxia's army was finally no longer as reckless as yesterday, and the southwestern town government envoy also lost the fierce offensive yesterday. Arrows and rolling stones were exhausted one after another, and the fire bombs were also exhausted in the afternoon. , Xia Bing attacked the city one after another. Daxia's army set up a human ladder and climbed up bravely, and the archers kept shooting to cover their team. The arrows were empty, like a pouring rain. The city wall was in a mess, and soldiers fell from arrows from time to time.
A young soldier was hit by more than ten arrows, all of them were wounded at the vital points. His comrades wanted to replace him, but he leaned against the city wall and smiled innocently, with white teeth and bright eyes. He waved his hands to his comrades-in-arms, and said with a smile: "When your lord comes back, tell her for me that all the soldiers in our battalion are secretly in love with her." After saying that, he jumped off the city wall, using his body as a rolling stone, It smashed hard on Xia Jun's ladder, and suddenly there was a wail of mourning on the city wall, as if singing a desperate battle song.
The close hand-to-hand combat finally unfolded. A large number of enemies climbed onto the tower, the first line of defense of the city wall collapsed, bows and arrows were messed up, arrows flew across, and there was the sound of fighting and shouting everywhere.
There are more and more Xia soldiers, blood stained the entire city wall and every floor tile red. At this time, even the militiamen rushed to the top of the city. They no longer flinched and trembled. , Picking up a knife is death, but at least it can buy a moment for the wife and children to escape. They slashed with knives, stabbed with swords, smashed with bricks, and bit with their teeth. They did everything they could, and the horror of the war was fully reflected at this moment.
Situ Jing stood at the bottom of the city and watched from a distance, then said to his subordinates with shocking eyes: "Are you sure that those above are just a group of militiamen?"
On that day, the river in Chidu actually melted in mid-winter, and layers of hot blood covered the cold ice, which actually melted the surface river water, although they were frozen again soon.
The world is blood-red, and corpses are scattered everywhere. A soldier had his legs cut off, and he picked up his broken leg and threw it down the wall without frowning. A Xia soldier who was about to climb up the wall was stunned and fell straight down. Fell on the icy snow field.
All the members of the Seventh Squadron of the Southwest Town Government Envoy were dead, and there was only one messenger soldier left. He actually stood on the top of the city and used the corpses of his brothers as a weapon to slam those Xia soldiers who were trying to climb the city wall. In the end, the body was gone, and he himself was stabbed several times. The young soldier shouted "Long Live Your Excellency", then hugged a Xia soldier, and jumped down to the city.
The city wall was attacked by the enemy several times, and was snatched back several times. He Xiao was stabbed several times, but he was still fighting tenaciously. He stood on the top of the city and shouted loudly: "Brothers! Don't embarrass your lord! Even if we If you die here today, your lord will definitely avenge us! Kill!"
The soldiers were bloody aroused, and they stood up abruptly, their precarious bodies suddenly filled with strength again, brandishing their swords and fighting the enemy together.
The sky and the earth were dark and yellow, the strong wind swept down the wind and snow, the smell of blood permeated the entire battlefield, and the army of Da Xia continued to increase. The two sides fought from early morning to noon, and from noon to dusk.
Standing on the high slope and looking at Zhao Yang, he had to sigh: "The envoy of the Southwest Township is really a master of tigers and wolves!"
After the city was once again lost, the Chidu city was finally filled with despair. A young soldier rushed towards the enemy with a knife. He was already powerless. This was the last blow to seek death. But at this moment, a sword light suddenly lit up in front of his eyes, and a sharp figure rushed forward. A sword sliced off the head of that Xia Jun.
The soldier seemed to be dazzled, until the man in front turned around and shouted angrily: "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Follow me!"
"My lord?" There was an unbelievable cry from the soldier's throat, "My lord! My lord is back!"
All the officers and soldiers of the Southwest Town government, who were exhausted to death, turned around together, and saw a young girl holding a sharp sword in a chaotic crowd, with a tall and straight figure and fierce moves. If it's not Chu Qiao, who is it
"My lord has not abandoned us!" I don't know who was the first to shout, and immediately, the whole Chidu city erupted in joy, and the soldiers who were exhausted suddenly stood up excitedly. Clear strength.
The adults are still here, we will not lose!
This idea swept in like a tide, and Xia Jun saw in horror that these people seemed to have been reborn in an instant, screaming with swords in their hands, like wolves and tigers, without the fatigue just now.
"Brothers! Kill me!" He Xiao roared, and chopped off the head of a Xia Jun with a knife, "Long live my lord!"
"Long live my lord!"
"Long live my lord—"
Deafening cheers rang out everywhere, and Zhao Yang slowly raised his head as he watched the rout soldiers receding like a tide, and finally had to admit this terrible fact.
"Your Highness," Situ Jing said with a frown, "If we can't attack here again, we can't explain to the Third Highness."
"Why don't I want to take it down?" Zhao Yang sighed slowly, looking at the low Chidu City. Night finally came, Da Xia's troops retreated one after another, Chu Qiao found Ping An, who was bundled into a ball in the grain and grass depot, the little guy was already asleep, and when he woke up, he saw Chu Qiao yelling happily.
In today's battle, Chidu City suffered heavy losses. More than 2,000 main soldiers of the Southwest Township Envoy were killed. Adding the previous 1,500 people, the current Southwest Township Envoy's staffing is less than 3,000, and there is still insufficient combat power. to two thousand. The militia suffered the most casualties, more than 20,000 people, and the city wall was severely damaged. If the opponent had a large siege weapon such as a trebuchet, the entire wall could be smashed to pieces in less than a day.
There is bloody smell everywhere, corpses everywhere, the wound medicine in the city has been exhausted, and the wounded soldiers can only use clean water and coarse cloth. At night, there are terrible screams and cries of pain everywhere. A side street a little further away was full of people lying motionless and not speaking. The corpses were neatly lined up, and yellow sacks covered the faces of the young soldiers.
Along the way, Chu Qiao's footsteps became heavier and heavier, the sky above her head was dark, and the crows were screaming in the north wind, which was breathtaking.
In her more than ten years of life, Chu Qiao has never felt so isolated and helpless as she is now. All her hopes and dreams are shattered, but she still has to stand upright, show the soldiers who are counting on her, and tell them, my lord I am still sure, she is still strong, and she will lead everyone to fight a way out.
The cold wind blew over her thin body, and the low tunes of the soldiers came from afar, with a sense of sadness in the tunes, Chu Qiao walked along the singing, and saw a young soldier with a broken leg at the corner. It was a very handsome young man, without a beard, and his delicate face looked like a book scholar. One of his legs was broken, and it was empty below the knee. He just sat there like that, without crying out for pain, but smiling slightly, with pure and bright eyes, as if thinking of some happy days, while smiling, he sang softly: "Farewell, my dear girl, I will carry Take up guns to defend our hometown, the enemy's knife is already hanging on our heads, I want to protect you and our heaven. Maybe I will never see your beautiful eyes again, maybe I will never hear you singing in my ears again, but please believe Me, I will always remember the place in my hometown, you stood under the azaleas all over the mountains and plains, smiled and waved to me, and whispered to return home early... "
