laughing soul

Beili lost a general named Kex, whose strength and momentum could not keep up with the Northwest Army who had been singled out one by one in front of the imperial court.Latu had no choice but to take this risky move. After the red blood was changed to a small size, there were still many technically insurmountable problems, such as what would blow up without igniting the fire, or hit the ground with a muffled cannon, which would not be lethal at all. Humans, even Mr. Wushi, who developed the red blood, can't overcome it.

The Northwest Army was afraid of going into the deep winter and the cold, and the troops would not be acclimatized and dare not fight a protracted war. I didn't expect that Beili was more afraid of being entangled for a long time than they were. Let's talk about things like red blood, and even knives and swords have become rare items.

When the red blood fell outside the handsome tent and bombed wildly, Qiu Sheng had already made up his mind that he must die. Unexpectedly, his luck was so good that the one that exploded at the door happened to be a stuffed gourd, and he put a few of them outside the tent. The stuffy fart exploded with a bit of dust, and then lay limp and motionless, but countless pieces of cockroaches jumped onto Qiu Sheng's back, scalding a layer of skin off.

Wang Deng, who was originally shrunk under the stool, crawled out: "Your Majesty! Shen Dong has just been blown off half of his arm and is still unconscious. Guo Zhongxiang is also lying in the camp without life. What should the army do now?"

There is a secret road under the handsome tent that leads directly to the camp. Qiu Sheng grinned in pain as soon as he stood up, enduring the severe pain that burned his skin and flesh, and lifted a brick: "Don't talk outside, come in first." .”

As soon as we entered the camp where we couldn't see our fingers, we sealed the entrance and lit the kerosene lamps. Only then did we see a few soldiers from the Northwest Army who had just fled to the bottom. Their faces and bodies were all hairless. It was a miserable scene, Fang Jiu's handsome scholarly face was particularly eye-catching in the middle of a group of bloody and bearded rough men.God probably took extra care of his face, both arms were exposed with bones, and there were two arrow wounds on his right leg, his whole body seemed to be soaked in blood soup, his small face was actually white and clean, not stained at all bloody.

Qiu Sheng cocked his mouth and stretched out his hand to signal the soldiers to stop where they were, and snapped his fingers at Fang Jiu to call him over: "What's the scene outside the city gate? Hiss!" There was a burning pain in his back, and he groaned in pain. She was about to turn her shoulders to dodge with a cry, but was held down by a pair of cold hands. Chu Yu shook open the small medicine bag, and said in a steady voice, "Take the medicine, don't move around."

It is cotton gold powder.Qiu Sheng poked his neck and gritted his teeth and laughed: "A good wife and mother, my son."

Everyone knows what the situation is now, Chu Yu raised his head and glanced at him lightly, but didn't answer.

Fang Jiu crawled over, leaving a long bloodstain on the ground behind him under the flickering light of the kerosene lamp, his face was pale: "Your Majesty, the gate of Weizhou City is temporarily protected, and General Gao and General Qi will lead the way." Everyone resisted desperately, and the enemy could not attack by force. But once this situation continues, it will only be a matter of time before the city breaks down! Latu summoned all his strength this time, and even teenagers under the age of 17 and grandpas in their seventies and eighties have come to the front line What's more, female general camp, all his mothers are women! I have been fighting for so many years, and I have never hit a woman. This damn ghost wants to win the battle and is crazy!" Fang Jiu has always been a gentleman in front of others. He looked like he was yelling loudly, wishing he could take a gun and wrench Latour's head off.

Wang Deng: "How long can General Gao and the others last?"

"The enemy's firepower is too fierce, I'm afraid... it won't take more than an hour."

"what?!"

Qiu Sheng's face froze, and it took him a while to recover: "The reinforcements from the South Camp should be here soon."

"It doesn't work."

The two generals looked at the young man who dared to interrupt the emperor's speech at the same time, with expressions of disbelief.Facing the eyes of the pair who wanted to study his cramp and skinning clearly, Chu Yu smiled calmly, and said calmly: "The reinforcements from the Southern Camp will arrive early tomorrow morning at the earliest. There is hope. The reason why Beili reduced the red blood shells is not only because of the range, but mainly because they have insufficient inventory. At this critical moment, all the old men and old ladies at the bottom of the box are sent to the front line because they are afraid of losing to the Northwest in terms of numbers. Army, they don't have enough manpower...they made such a big wave, and even gambled their last breath to be ranked, they didn't come to fight us for a long time."

He paused and continued: "Quick battles and quick decisions are their goal. Waiting is not an option. There is an expert in Beili who is proficient in techniques, named Slian. When you dug the secret tunnel, you didn't set up any mechanism at all." Excuse me, there are three gates in total, the commander-in-chief, the fifth camp, and the ninth camp. One is easier to find than the other. When they attack the city, they must first find the commander-in-chief and the deputy general. Our current situation has been fully understood by them. , I won’t give up until I find His Majesty. At that time, they will be stuck in a secret passage to catch a turtle, grab a handful of red blood and throw it casually, and we will all be blown away.”

Qiu Sheng looked at him silently.

Fang Jiuben was a little dazed due to blood loss, but Chu Yu spoke so fast that he didn't understand.

Wang Deng: "How do the northern thieves know that we are in a secret way? What if we withdraw our troops and leave an empty city for them?"

Chu Yu looked up at him, shook his head and said, "I can't withdraw."

"Why?" Wang Deng was about to ask again, but was interrupted by a muffled sound.Under the crisis, the grass and trees were all soldiers, and all the people in the camp drew their swords out of their sheaths, but saw a corporal who was seriously injured and entered the secret passage from the entrance of the Ninth Battalion. He almost rolled off the ground like a ball, and it was too late to breathe Breathing evenly, coughing up blood while inhaling, he shouted out of breath: "The back road is cut off! I can't get out!"

Wang Deng picked him up immediately, and yelled loudly into his ear, "If you make it clear, why can't you get out!"

A closer look revealed that the man covered in blood and blinded by a sword wound was none other than Jiang Yu. Qiu Sheng had told him many times in the past few days that if there was a war, he must investigate the enemy's situation on the way to retreat as soon as possible. A small group of Northwest Army cleared the obstacles here. On the one hand, it was preparing for the retreat of the army. On the other hand, if it happened that Chu Yu was also here, he could send people away unscathed.

He didn't expect that Latu could plan to come here. He had never encountered such an insidious and cunning enemy when he was fighting bandits before.

Jiang Yu's vocal cords were burned by the red blood, and blood gushed out of her throat when she said a word: "Latu, he set fire... the back road was engulfed in a sea of ​​flames, let alone a human being, even a grasshopper couldn't jump over it .”

Wang Deng stared at Chu Yu with his eyes wide open as if struck by lightning. The latter was calmly bandaging Fang Jiu's wound.

Fang Jiu: "Why are you saving me?"

Chu Yu: "I met your grandpa, he asked me to take good care of you." He waved to Jiang Yu and smiled, "You hurt your throat and don't talk." He was about to take out the spare medicine stone powder from his pocket and give it to him , but Wang Deng grabbed his wrist: "How do you know?"

The slender wrist bones were twisted black and purple by Wang Deng's brute force in a hurry, Chu Yu didn't struggle, and even the smile on his face didn't decrease a bit: "If you want to kill me, who will leave it for you?" The way back?"

Wang Deng couldn't get used to this kind of hypocrisy. He was short of breath for a while, and was about to clenched his fingers more tightly, but Qiu Sheng took the first step to pinch the veins of his arm, so he couldn't use half of his strength.

"Ah, what should I do now?"

There was a loud bang above the head, and the handsome tent was blown flat.

The loud noise couldn't stop Chu Yu from wrapping up Jiang Yu's wound step by step, and waited for the cannonball to pass before he said, "General Fang, the Northwest Army is divided into three, five, seven, nine and four battalions. How are the casualties?"

Fang Jiu: "The tents of the Ninth Battalion are the furthest from the gate of the city, and the northern thieves had no time to respond to the night attack. The 3 people should be complete. General Gao led the third and seventh battalions to guard the city gate. There were about 5 when I left. People. The Fifth Battalion is divided into two groups, most of the troops go to the Ninth Battalion along the secret road to inform them of support, and the small part goes to the Commander's Tent to inform His Majesty that 5000 people are in the secret road."

"Don't support," Chu Yu said decisively, "The Ninth Battalion stay where they are and wait for orders. They just come here to add a few heads. Go up and find General Gao, and order him not to defend with all his strength, but you must give Latu the illusion of running away with his head in his arms. If it's true...the rest of the [-]th Battalion secretly retreated to the lower camp at Wuyingkou and was on standby at any time."

Qiu Sheng frowned: "Do you want to hit both ends?"

Chu Yu nodded. Just as he was about to ask Qiu Sheng who was the right candidate, he heard Wang Denglang questioningly: "You don't know where you came from, how can the [-] soldiers of our Northwest Army trust you! If you are a spy of the Northern Bandits, how can we Not to lure wolves into the house!"

[-]...but after the night raid, there were only [-] left in the blink of an eye.

"Believe it or not," Chu Yu still had a calm expression on his face, "According to your counting, all the members of the Ninth Battalion ran over, and before they reached the place, the entire army was wiped out by March 8th." Why should I help? My method is naturally not foolproof—in the current situation, there is no perfect strategy at all... But at least it is worth a try. General Wang, believe me, then take a gamble with [-] lives; If you don’t believe me, just squat here and wait for death.”

Wang Deng was so angry that he was speechless, and Yumu turned his head around a few times and finally settled the account: "That's okay, I'll go up to find them." Turning around, he grabbed a soldier: "Go to the end of the Ninth Battalion. Stop it, quick!"

Wang Deng disappeared in a flash, Chu Yu let out a sigh of relief, and was about to take a rest, when Qiu Sheng messed up his hair, and the little rascal turned into a roast suckling pig without forgetting to wipe the oil, and actually twisted it lightly His earlobe.Chu Yu was taken advantage of by being unprepared, and was about to say a few words when he turned his head, but he met Shang Qiusheng's clear eyes that were in stark contrast to Xia Jiuliu's behavior.

He is not Zimmer, pretending to be dumb, and Qiu Sheng will not let him go so easily.

"Aren't you going to explain?" Fang Jiu was still not far away, surrounded by his own soldiers in all directions, Qiu Sheng deliberately lowered his voice and moved closer to speak, which made Chu Yu's ears tingle, and wanted to push away but was afraid of touching Seeing a wound, Qiu Sheng had no choice but to stay still. Qiu Sheng simply kissed his soft earlobe directly on his nose and face, and asked forcefully, "How do you know so many things about the Northwest Army? Huh?"

Chu Quan had fought against the Northwest Army countless times, and this matter was an old disease. I don't know how many times he had entrusted it in his dreams. The size of this army has been similar for hundreds of years.In addition, before arriving in Weizhou, he deliberately went to Tianyuan Temple to inquire carefully, and said without shame, Chu Yu, a layman who had never met the Northwest Army, knew the specific situation of the barracks better than most Northwest Army soldiers.

His identity as the owner of the Cuiwei Pavilion, how he has some unclear relationship with the eunuch of Tianyuan Temple, why he came to the capital to study medicine... It is enough for him to talk about it for a long time if he picks out any of these questions. , Discussing this matter with Emperor Dai Viet was not very satisfactory.

He showed Qiu Sheng a standard eight-teeth smile: "I am omnipotent in heaven and earth, so it's hard to stop me? ... You still have injuries on your body. If you think too much about it, you will lose your energy and blood. It’s okay, it’s slow... It’s a good time to rest, I’ll go up and have a look.”

He had already figured out that Qiu Sheng couldn't find Bei's little character when he looked at him and smiled, and when the other party loosened his hand, he bent his waist a few times and got away. Before Qiu Sheng could stop him, he just He jumped on the brick that had lifted a hundred catties, and disappeared without a trace.

Fang Jiu had been closing his eyes just now, concentrating on fighting the unbearable itching of the wound after applying the medicine, so he didn't have the energy to share with them, so naturally he didn't hear anything.As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Chu Yu flying from the camp to the ground like a light bird, and immediately stared at Qiu Sheng dumbfounded.

"Are you in good health?" He waved his hands and smiled at Fang Jiu, his brows and eyes full of helplessness, "Little daughter-in-law, blind."

Fang Jiu: "..." Why do I feel like my eyes are going to be blinded...

There is no threat in the camp for the time being, but the ground has already become a mess, piles of corpses have covered the city gate, red blood is exploding all over the sky, and the corpses of soldiers who can't die anymore are entangled indiscriminately. In one place, at a glance, I couldn't see a single beard and tail.

The gate of the city could no longer be guarded, so Gao Li and Zimmer took the remnant soldiers and piled up the dead bodies to build a hill, barely hiding behind to avoid the red blood flying all over the sky.

Latu looked around from a distance with his clairvoyance, and seeing that there was no one on the city gate, he immediately waved and ordered: "Stop attacking!"

In fact, he didn't need to say this, if he consumed it according to such a specification, he would lose one shell after two more hits.In the case that the follow-up materials cannot be prepared in a short time, if the Northwest Army has surplus troops, they can only fight hand-to-hand with their strength.

In the absence of Kess, the Northwest Army has Gao Li, Zimmer, Wang Deng and Fang Jiu. What's more, Qiu Sheng is still here. This young man is not a fuel-efficient lamp. The odds of winning can be imagined.

The Northwest Army has a ground camp, and this violent bombing will definitely not be able to take over the entire army.

"Go to the city! Kill them all!"

Troops of all ages and men approached the city of Weizhou mightily. There are not many serious soldiers with real combat effectiveness, but this battle is expensive because of its scary numbers.The [-]nd Battalion is the most capable unit in the Northwest Army. It has long put life and death aside, but it was blown up by the red blood, and watched the fellow comrades smashed into pieces of flesh in the bloody forest On himself, the psychological defense line was a little bit unsustainable. Hearing the momentum of the thousands of troops entering the city, many people couldn't hold back immediately.

"General Gao, we are... what should we do now..."

"This is menacing, how can we fight it..."

"Let's talk about peace..."

Gao Li wanted to sternly reprimand these black sheep who took the lead in weakening the morale of the army, but with the hill of torn bodies piled up behind his comrades, the mighty 6, [-] soldiers of the [-]th Battalion of the Northwest Army were beaten down to less than [-]. The pride was suddenly mixed with some bitterness that was difficult to express.

Whose life is not life?Just take it to the battlefield and ruin it...

A general who can be a country, isn't he born for the stability of the world?To him, to spend the rest of his life in a gentle village with a idle job, is no different from a comfortable exile, smoothing out his proud bones that thirst for war, but where will his blood burn?

His slightly slack eyes gathered sharpness again, and he was about to raise his knife to meet the enemy, but he saw a person crawling forward with a short body, he squinted his eyes to see who was coming...

Wang Deng?

His heart tightened, and he thought something had happened to the camp, but Wang Deng quickly said in a low voice, "Give up the city gate! The rest of the soldiers and horses quickly enter the camp and wait for orders. Enter from the entrance of the fifth camp, hurry up!"

Gao Li was taken aback, thinking he heard it wrong: "What? Abandon the city gate?"

The army was close at hand, and Wang Deng didn't have time to elaborate: "There is no chance of winning head-on! Enter the camp and fight together."

Listening to the solid and heavy footsteps, and looking at the few pitiful soldiers beside him, Gao Limao lowered his body and raised the tip of his knife slightly: "Follow me!"

Thousands of people were well-trained, and they moved without muddling at all. After a while, they arrived at the Fifth Battalion without anyone noticing.Wang Deng took the front and stood behind the hall, and just fastened the bricks tightly when he heard the loud noise of Latu and the others knocking down the wall of corpses.

The huge Weizhou City is like a city made up of alleys of the dead. Latu led the elite soldiers who were close to him at every step. In the middle of the night, the dark figures disappeared. A thin string was tensed in his mind, and he dared not relax , for fear that a Central Plainsman would come out from the corner and stab him fatally.In the twelfth lunar month of December, bean big sweat slid down from his forehead, and when it seeped into the seam of his clothes, it was as cold as ice, making him shiver.

A brigade of 5 to [-] people can't wait to dig up every piece of gravel and stab every corpse on the ground like a hornet's nest. Even so, they are still worried that those dead who have been reduced to minced meat will suddenly come back to life , brandishing a steel knife to chop off their heads.

In this way, the entire army entered the dead Weizhou City in extreme tension and fear. The last Beili soldier had already passed the commander's tent, and no one came in to turn over the bricks in the tent.

A city went straight to the end and did not see a living person, but was smoked back by the fire he set earlier.Latu turned his head to look at a dwarf beside him. This dwarf looked very deformed in the tall and burly army. He had buck teeth and a gaping mouth. His ability to make people feel sick was about the same as those scorched corpses at the gate of the city. spell.

"Slian, find the secret path."

They were standing not far from the Ninth Battalion at this time, Fang Jiu put his ears on the floor tiles to listen to the Qingming, and by the light of the torch, he gestured to the five thousand elite soldiers behind him: "Ready." He finished the gesture At a moment, the last two soldiers rushed to the fifth camp and the handsome tent camp to inform Gao Li and Qiu Sheng—these three places are not close to each other on the ground, but one of the purposes of digging the camp is to It was to shorten the distance to make it easier to report the news, and the road was a lot closer. Fang Jiu selected two soldiers with the fastest footsteps in the Ninth Battalion. After a while, the other two received the news smoothly. A letter bomb.

Fang Jiu's hands trembled slightly. If Silian came straight to the Ninth Battalion, then this side would basically be useless. If he didn't have time to go to the ground, he would be bombarded by a single shell.

Due to the right time, place and people, Silian obediently bypassed the Ninth Battalion and led the army to the Third Battalion not far away.The two most powerful units of the Northwest Army are the Third Battalion and the Seventh Battalion. Normally, the entrance to the camp should be arranged here. Camp and nine camp tents.

Si Lian led a group of younger brothers to look around, beat the ground for a long time, almost broke his waist, but still found nothing.

Latu was a little anxious: "Is it not here?"

Slian shook his head, puzzled. Could it be that the camp of the Northwest Army was so perfect that even he couldn't find any flaws?

and many more.

He suddenly opened his eyes wide and his heart beat wildly.

Avoiding people's eyes and ears is a common trick used by people in the Central Plains. Could it be that the real Diyingkou is in the Fifth and Ninth Camps, which are less likely in the eyes of ordinary people?

He secretly prayed, but unexpectedly, this idea came up when he heard the loud explosion of the letter bomb of the Southwest Army.

The direction of Jiuying.

Si Lian gritted his teeth and looked back. He saw a young man in heavy armor, and behind him were [-] heavily armored soldiers from the Ninth Battalion.In the dim moonlight, he held a torch and squinted at them coldly, like a ghost crawling out of the ground, wiping off the residual blood from the corner of his mouth, but the steel knife in his hand was eager to drink blood and kill.

The [-] remnant soldiers were in chaos in an instant. Before they could recover, they heard the sound of war drums from two directions behind them at the same time. The dots of light from the lamps could not clearly illuminate their faces, but they could only feel a cold bloody smell flowing unscrupulously on them, and when they saw the prey that fell into the encirclement, they rushed towards them.
