Chapter 70 Counterattack
Chapter 70 Counterattack
"His Majesty."
After Xiao Qi brought people back to Qicheng, Zhao Chen and Zhang Ren had already rectified the city roads that had been messed up by Beirong in Qicheng.The people living in the city have experienced the tyranny of the Northern Rong army, even when facing their own army, their eyes are timid.
"Xiao Qi, you're here." Zhao Chen glanced at him, and then continued to count the supplies left by the Bei Rong Army in Qicheng.
"Your Majesty, Lu Su led people to flee to Yang County, and Ning Liu is dead." Xiao Qi said.
"Understood." Zhao Chen said, "Bei Rong's offensive is much weaker than I thought, but they have been defeated one after another, and they will definitely try their best to win next time."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the last general and General Zhang will do their best to protect Huiyang."
"One more thing. Although Nanqu sent people to assist on the surface, those people deliberately delayed on the road. You send people to 'greet' our allied forces."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After sorting out the problems left by Beirong, except for the patrol team, Zhao Chen let them go to rest first.Almost every day these days is like a taut string, if you don't relax a bit, I'm afraid that before Lu Su can attack, he will break it first.
They can rest, but Zhao Chen can't.Now that Lu Su is forced to Yang County, he will fight back with all his strength, and he will spare no effort to get back the face he lost.
"Zhang Ren, in your opinion, what is the best way now?"
"Lu Su is not good at attacking by force, so if he wants to fight back, he will definitely choose at night when our defense is weakest." Zhang Ren said, "Avoiding a direct confrontation is the best way for him to win."
"Since he wants to sneak attack, then I will wait for his arrival."
"Now that the patrols in the army are tightly arranged, it is difficult for General Lu to find a chance to strike." Xiao Qi said leisurely.
Several people smiled knowingly, and Zhang Ren said, "In the end, the number of patrols by Choushi will be reduced."
"Lu Su walked so resolutely today, he must be waiting. Judging from this, Bei Rong's reinforcements are probably coming soon." Zhao Chen said, "Xiao Qi, send someone to keep an eye on Yang County's movements."
"Yes." Xiao Qi said, "Your Majesty will evacuate the people from the city tomorrow?"
"Evacuate, evacuate as soon as possible." Zhao Chen thought for a while, and then said, "You take [-] elite soldiers and gradually withdraw our army's food, grass, soldiers and horses to the outside of the city. When you evacuate, you must wear the clothes of ordinary people. People found clues."
"Yes."
"Zhang Ren, you bring people to guard the city. Beirong has enough leftovers for us to stay behind closed doors in the city for half a month." Zhao Chen said, "We need to wait now."
"The end will follow the order!"
The people in the city temporarily settled in other places, and Xiao Qi's [-] elite soldiers also found several places outside the city to settle down. On the surface, the common people going out of the city took refuge in simple sheds, but in fact they were quietly dormant, waiting Follow Lu Su's actions.
It was quiet for five consecutive days.The silent night was illuminated by tens of thousands of ignited flying arrows, and all the arrows were fired straight at the city of Qi.
The fire illuminated the city of Qi, and illuminated the ferocious faces of the Bei Rong army who were about to move outside the city wall.
"It's out of water!!"
Following the shouts in the city, Lu Su raised his hand, and several people behind him immediately slammed the log against the city gate with all their strength.Lu Su smiled horribly, burn it, burn it all, everyone, go to death!
The gate of the city was opened, and the people of Huiyang who were fighting the fire stared blankly at the place where Beirong's cavalry strode into the city with their heads held high.Lu Su sat on the horseback, looking for the traces of Xiao Qi and Zhang Ren, but couldn't find them.
He went a little further, and casually turned his head to look at the ignited grain and hay pile beside him, which was covered with satin, but Lu Su's intuition was wrong.
He got off his horse and lifted the cloth satin, revealing the true face of the so-called army rations.What kind of shit military rations are just weeds thrown on the side of the road that even dogs don't want to smell!
Seeing this, he would be a fool if he didn't understand the situation.
"Retreat! Deceitful!!"
As soon as he shouted, he turned around and saw the city gate slowly closing, separating the group of troops brought in by Lu Su from the army behind him.He tensed his back in an instant, looked at the Huiyang Army who threw down the bucket and changed into a panic, and cursed, "Despicable!"
Zhang Ren walked out from behind, looked at Lu Su and said, "General Lu attacked Qicheng at night, if you say it's despicable, you should be the first one."
"Don't think it's a big deal if you win a few times, I tell you, you will always be defeated by Lao Tzu!"
Zhang Ren did not refute, and raised the weapon in his hand at him, "Then try it! General Lu, please enlighten me!"
The two came and went and quickly fought together. The main general started the battle, and the soldiers under him also threw themselves into the fighting state.The inside of the city was illuminated by the flames like daylight, while Xiao Qi outside the city was in a stalemate with the Bei Rong army.
We all know that we can't act rashly, and there is a high probability that we will lose the upper hand if we act first.Besides, when Lu Su sent troops this time, he didn't want others to steal his limelight, so he didn't bring a single general with him, and the lieutenants outside the city didn't dare to act easily when they saw that the general was locked up in the city.
The two sides listened to the movements in the city and raised their weapons to each other to threaten each other, but neither dared to make a move.
After an unknown amount of time, the cracked city gate was kicked open from the inside, and the horse's hooves were still flying in the air.With a roar, Lie Ma rushed out of Qicheng with the men on horseback.
It was Lu Su who came.
"What are you doing in a daze! Kill them!"
Lu Su rushed towards the army while shouting, but was blocked by a long gun in front of him.
"General Lu, where are you going to escape?"
Lu Su frowned viciously and saw that the person who spoke was not Xiao Qi but who else it was.
Xiao Qi turned the long spear in his hand again, and the red tassel on the tip of the gun threw a beautiful arc in the air, Lu Su bent his body, avoiding Xiao Qi's provocation.
He didn't want to get entangled with Xiao Qi at first, but Xiao Qi clung to him so tightly that he didn't even give him a chance to leave, and even deliberately rubbed his long gun against him several times, what is it if it's not provocation?
"If you want to die, I will fulfill you!"
Lu Su held the long handle of the half-moon curved gun and assumed an attacking posture.Xiao Qi also put away her playful attitude just now, and the tip of the spear drew an arc in the air.
Lu Su rushed forward first, and hit Xiao Qi hard on the head, which was firmly caught by Xiao Qi.The moment he was bounced away, Lu Su knew that Xiao Qi's kung fu was even better than Zhang Ren's.
I had originally fought Zhang Ren to a draw, and I was able to escape out of the city only when I had the chance.In front of Xiao Qi, he might not be able to fight back after a few moves.
Looking at the boy who was only 20 years old in front of him, Lu Su wanted to escape, but Xiao Qi entangled him so that he couldn't take advantage of it.
He desperately wanted to make room for himself, raised his hand and swung the half-moon spear in his hand towards Xiao Qi's neck.When Lu Su thought he was going to succeed, Xiao Qi used the strength of his waist to bend his body backwards, so that Lu Su's blow was completely missed.
Then he quickly used the gun to borrow strength, raised his body, and without hesitation pierced the tip of the gun into Lu Su's right shoulder.In an instant, blood dripped from the tip of the gun onto Lu Su's horseback.Xiao Qi turned his hands around, and then pushed the spear in his hand a few inches into his body.
The severe pain from his body made Lu Su's eyes bloodshot. He howled like a wild beast, and tightly gripped the handle of the spear stuck in his body, restricting Xiao Qi's movements.With the last of his strength, he raised his hand to attack Xiao Qi.
He knew that Xiao Qi couldn't dodge this blow, and he would definitely suffer more serious injuries than himself.Thinking of this, Lu Su's gaze became even crazier.Just when the half-moon spear in his hand was about to pierce Xiao Qi's body, it was knocked crooked by a thrown round shield.
Xiao Qi stared blankly and turned her head to look behind her, only to see Zhao Chen, who was supposed to stay in the refuge outside the city, appeared here.
The clean clothes on his body were splashed with someone's blood, and because he threw the round shield just now, the white and tender palms were also stained with dirt that did not belong to him.He rode on a war horse and helped Xiao Qi deal with the Bei Rong army behind him.
Zhao Chen's martial arts are very average, and he can say that he can only die if he meets any general, so Xiao Qi doesn't let him go to the battlefield, but Zhao Chen still comes.
Xiao Qi looked at him frowning and wrestling with the Bei Rong army. He didn't want His Majesty's hands to be stained with blood...
Seeing Xiao Qi stunned, Lu Su just found a good time to escape.He violently pulled out the point of the spear stuck in his body, turned his horse's head and left in front of Xiao Qi suddenly, no matter how fast Xiao Qi walked, he had no chance to catch up with Lu Su again.
He turned to look at Xiao Qi, and suddenly smiled ferociously.Xiao Qi didn't understand at first, but when he watched Lu Su pick up a bow, pointed at Zhao Chen's back, and drew the bow to the full string, Xiao Qi trembled all over.
"This arrow is for you!!"
Three arrows fired together.
Zhao Chen didn't notice.
Xiao Qi ran towards Zhao Chen at the fastest speed. He raised his hand and shot the arrow neatly. He fired the same three arrows at once, but only missed two of them.
Xiao Qi and Zhao Chen were not far away, when he got behind Zhao Chen, the arrow was inevitable.
He stepped on the back of the horse, flew over and grabbed Zhao Chen's shoulders, and threw him to one side while protecting him in his arms.
After rolling around on the ground twice, Zhao Chen felt a little dizzy. He wanted to support Xiao Qi's chest and sit up, but his hand felt greasy.
"Xiao Qi!" Zhao Chen sat up in shock, and Xiao Qi's left chest was indeed pierced by an arrow. After rolling twice on the ground, the arrow body was broken, and he was lying on the ground with a pale face. perception.
"Xiao Qi! Xiao Qi!!" Zhao Chen caressed the wound with his hands at a loss, trying to block the speed of the blood gushing out.
Big teardrops dripped down on Xiao Qi's body, Zhao Chen was still in the posture of being protected by him, even if he was shot by an arrow and fell off his horse, what he was thinking about was protecting Zhao Chen.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Xiao Qi, I didn't run out on purpose, I just wanted to help you... I really just wanted to help you..." Zhao Chen pressed Xiao Qi's wound, his whole hand was stained The bright red, blood kept flowing from his fingers.
Putting a hand on his cheek, Xiao Qiqiang opened his eyes and stroked the corners of Zhao Chen's teardrops, "Your Majesty...don't...don't cry..."
Xiao Qi's voice was intermittent, as if he was about to lose his breath in the next second, and the voice that had fascinated Zhao Chen before was only weak.
"I, I know...you stop talking, you stop talking..." Zhao Chen looked at the Bei Rong army who retreated one after another, and shouted hoarsely, "Come here! Come here! Come here!! "
The voice in my ear became farther and farther away, and finally I couldn't even hear the voice of my sweetheart, only the endless hissing sound remained.He saw Zhao Chen's face flushed from crying, and looked at the two soldiers who hurried towards him.The body was lifted, and Xiao Qi felt the vitality of his body draining out bit by bit.
He seemed to be being led to run, and he really wanted to say, don't run so fast, and let me take a last look at His Majesty.But he didn't have the strength to open his mouth, and all these years flashed through his mind quickly.
He found that almost all the memories of his life were with Zhao Chen.So, shouldn't he be satisfied?He was reborn because of Zhao Chen, and died for Zhao Chen.
He thought despicably, if this is really the last time between him and Zhao Chen, then fortunately, his Majesty will never forget him now, and he will always remain in Zhao Chen's heart. a seat.
Xiao Qi pursed her lips and smiled, this smile made the wound numb.He unconsciously soured his nose again, even so, he still didn't want to die...
Consciousness gradually lost, Xiao Qi passed out heavily.
