Zhao Bing asked angrily, "What's wrong? Even you don't believe me anymore?" Zhao Bing grinned his teeth in pain as he tried to prop up his body regardless of his injuries. What are you moving?" Zhao Bing asked angrily, still not forgetting the past: "I have been traveling all over the world these years, and I don't even know if it's a cavalry gathering?"

Qi Luo sighed in her heart, she loves and angers Zhao Bingzhen like this, but she couldn't bear to provoke him any more, so she hurriedly said: "It's my family who said something wrong! Can I make amends here, will it work?" Said Wan also glared at Zhao Bing.

Seeing this, Zhao Bing smiled a little embarrassedly, and was about to say something, but Qi Luo asked with a serious face: "Sir, tell me, what should we do now? If the northern barbarian cavalry enters the city, God will It's a big deal!" Qi Luo handed Brother Xing in her arms to Zhao Bing, and said, "Our brother Xing is still young!"

Zhao Bing beat Kang with his fists, and said with grief and indignation: "What can I do? After eating this army ration, can I still escape?"

Speaking of escaping, Qi Luo's eyes lit up, and she tentatively said: "Master, do you think this will work? If the Northern Barbarian cavalry is coming, let's not talk about it. If it really comes, Master will point out the way, and I will take the villagers Hide out first, I didn't eat the rations!"

Speaking of this, Qi Luo said indignantly again: "In the final analysis, the Lord has never eaten military rations. We did eat, but we bought it with our own money, that is, many people around, and your brothers. , isn’t it also our family’s food? How many people have seen military food?”

Qi Luo didn't say that most of the money brought was the dowry money that Daiyu gave Qi Luo back then.Qi Luo didn't care about Zhao Bing's embarrassing expression, and continued: "Besides, it's useless for us to stay in the city. It's better to escape early, which will not only reduce your burden, but also save your life."

Zhao Bingzheng was thinking about the feasibility of Qi Luo's words, and then he heard Qi Luo say without a doubt: "Don't say anything you don't know, I have been wandering in the mountains these days."

Zhao Bing couldn't help it, thought for a while that what Qi Luo said was reasonable, so he nodded, but after three or five days, Zhao Bing was able to go to the ground a little bit, so he took Qi Luo, hugged Xing Geer, who was less than a hundred days old, and found himself Walked the road again.

Zhao Bing didn't wait for Qiluo to go far. He only went out of the city for only a li or two. He pointed to the mountain and explained to Qiluo: "Go straight ahead and cross this mountain. The cave can hold three or 500 people." After speaking, he looked at Qi Luo worriedly and said, "When the day really comes, you have to take care of yourself. Wait for me to pick you up!"

Regardless of how strong a woman is, at this moment, Qi Luo's eyes are still red.Looking deeply at Zhao Bing and nodding lightly, he said, "Master, it's a good deal. When the day comes, our mother and I will be waiting for you in the cave." After speaking, Qi Luo stretched out a hand to grab Zhao Bing's sleeves, fixedly staring at him and said: "Master must come!"

Only two days after returning to the city, Zhao Bing was awakened by the sound of horseshoes at night. He hurriedly turned over and got off the kang, lying on the ground. After two inhalations, Zhao Bing changed his face and said to Qi Luo who was awakened by him: "Hurry up!" Put on your clothes, hold Brother Xing and bring some food to go out of the city!"

Qi Luo was stunned for a moment and then understood, stared fixedly at Zhao Bing, and said firmly in a trembling voice: "I am waiting for you!" Qi Luo's almond eyes were rounded by her, just to prevent the tears from falling .

Seeing this, Zhao Bing was very distressed, but this was not the time to comfort him, so he just nodded and rushed out the door.Qiluo only heard Zhao Bing's eager voice from the courtyard saying: "Call the folks, this is the big thing you've always wanted to do!" Bing's figure is gone.

Qi Luo understood that this was not the time to be weak, so she cheered up and ordered the woman who was also awakened to go door-to-door to notify her, while she turned back to the house, simply packed her bags and went out.

After all, Zhao Bing and Qi Luo are outsiders. Although they have helped many families, some people believe in Zhao Bingqi Luo, while others don't. Therefore, the people who came back with their mother-in-law are only one hundred and ten, and most of them belong to Zhao Bing's gang of brothers. family.

It was because the gang of brothers were called away by Zhao Bing not long ago, and they had an explanation before leaving, so they followed here at this time, but they were also dubious in their hearts.

Qi Luo didn't care about those who didn't come anymore. The northern barbarian cavalry didn't wait for them to gather slowly. Besides, there was still a li or two before the city and the mountains. They were all old and weak, women and children. Can they run away? Not necessarily.

Maybe he was intercepted halfway, or just lay down forever.Therefore, Qi Luo didn't give much explanation and persuasion, just led these people, and hurried to the gap in the city wall that Zhao Bing pointed out earlier.

Qi Luo and his party were lucky. For one thing, no one expected that the people would start fleeing so early. In addition, the northern barbarian cavalry hadn't been able to really besiege the city, and the direction Qi Luo and the others fled happened to be with their backs facing the northern barbarians. A wall of cavalry.Therefore, these more than 100 people ran all the way into the mountain, and even turned over the hillside without being discovered.

Qi Luo and Xing Ge'er are now Zhao Bing's biggest concerns, or in other words, family members are the soldiers' greatest concerns.It is the concern in the hearts of bloody men. They can endure many things, but they cannot bear the rape of their family members.

Now Zhao Bing escaped with this group of family members, a man with no worries in his heart, and stood in the ranks of soldiers.

When the northern barbarian cavalry really arrived, Zhao Bing's Shangfeng believed Zhao Bing's words. This Shangfeng was actually a bloody man, but it was because of Zhao Bing's appearance that his position in the army was shaken, and he felt uneasy. Hi nothing.So when Zhao Bing came to report, he only thought that Zhao Bing was trying to trip him up.

But at this time, he believed it!In fact, not only he believed it, but everyone in the city believed it.Because the northern barbarian cavalry had already approached the city.

The guard looked at the northern barbarian cavalry below the city in a daze, but the northern barbarian cavalry didn't care whether the guard was distracted, and had already started shouting and roaring, attacking the city!The guards recovered from the rain of arrows from the northern barbarian cavalry. While hastily ordering the soldiers to go up to the city wall to resist, they had already ordered their horses to go out of the city to ask for help.

Encouraged by the family behind them, most of the local soldiers would rather die in battle than flee, but there are also a few soldiers dispatched from other places, especially some who committed crimes and were dispatched. How could they fight to the death for such a small border town?
Zhao Bing was lucky, but also extremely unlucky.He was said to be lucky because his team was all local from top to bottom, and he was said to be unlucky because all the members of his team fought to the death and refused to escape, which made Zhao Bing unwilling to escape.

Zhao Bing and his men had already fought bloody battles on the top of the city all night until the sky became pale, and at this time, there were actually less than 300 soldiers left in the city!Even the guarding lord disappeared quietly at some point in the middle of the night!
Zhao Bing found that the northern barbarian cavalry had not besieged the city even at this time, so he tried to organize people to move the people out of the city several times, but was stopped.It wasn't until after Shang Feng died in battle that Zhao Bing became the highest officer in the team that Zhao Bing escaped from the city with more than [-] soldiers under him and his brothers.

When Zhao Bing went out of the city, he didn't go directly to the mountains to find Qi Luo and the others. Instead, he joined forces with his brothers and came up with the idea of ​​the Northern Barbarian cavalry lair.Then a group of people quietly circled around and headed towards the rear of the northern barbarian cavalry.

When the Seventh Prince arrived with the Western Expeditionary Army, what he saw was the border town that was repeatedly swept by the northern barbarian cavalry shortly after Zhao Bing and others left.

But at this time, Qi Luo and the others were still waiting in the cave on the other side of the mountain, but the food had already bottomed out!However, after Zhao Bing and his party looted in the hinterland of the Northern Man, they were almost killed and looted by the Northern Man cavalry who returned to the station and blocked the hinterland. At this moment, they were dealing with the Northern Man cavalry in the barren grassland.And the more than [-] people who followed Zhao Bing back then, now there are only more than ten people left.

The Seventh Prince originally thought that these northern barbarian cavalry had retreated, but now that he brought a large army, he had no choice but to do something to clean up the aftermath.

However, on the third day after the scouting cavalry was dispatched, the Seventh Prince brought the Western Expeditionary Army into the border town after simple repairs, and received a report from the scouts. They found more than 20 teams of northern barbarian cavalry in less than [-] miles to the north. The trace of the activity, the purpose is unknown!
The Seventh Prince's expression darkened immediately, just as he was thinking about sending more than [-] troops this time, but he didn't even touch a hair of the Beiman, but these Beiman sent them to the door by themselves!The Seventh Prince was about to deliver an order, but saw that Mo Xuan had already clasped his fists and came out: "The last general is willing to lead the army to destroy it!"

Mo Xuan participated in the war for the first time. Originally, he only wanted to make meritorious deeds, but he didn't want to see the soldiers and civilians in the border town before seeing the tragedy. It was the time when he was furious. At this time, he heard that the northern barbarian cavalry was found, and it was only a short distance from the border town. Twenty or thirty miles!Is there any reason to let it go?So angrily went out to fight.

However, General Qian looked at the Seventh Prince, then at Mo Xuan, shook his head and cupped his fists and said, "This is impossible!" After speaking, General Qian looked up at the Seventh Prince again, and said calmly: "Commander Mo participated in the battle for the first time. The experience is still insufficient, and now we don't know the purpose and reason of the appearance of these cavalry, we will ask the prince to order more investigation!"

Mo Xuan was embarrassed by General Qian's accusation that he was inexperienced, but when he heard that General Qian wanted to send another sergeant to investigate, he couldn't help but argue, "But there are more than twenty teams of northern barbarian cavalry. The purpose, the general will only know that they kill my people and destroy my city!"

The Seventh Prince frowned and nodded, "Twenty teams? If it is true, it is not indestructible. As far as I know, the northern barbarians have a small team of five people, a large team of ten people, and a brigade of ten teams is called a hundred households. Is this more than twenty teams a small team or a big team?"

After the seventh prince finished speaking, he ignored Mo Xuan and General Fuyuan, and directly ordered: "Investigate again!" The scout had already taken the order and left.

At this moment, Mo Xuan clasped his fists again and said, "My lord! If you startle the snake, on this vast grassland, I'm afraid that this group of northern barbarian cavalry will escape without a trace." The seventh prince raised his head and looked at Mo Xuan. Seeing the Seventh Prince's eyes, Xuan said even more: "Whether it's a brigade or a small brigade, even the brigade has only more than two hundred people, the last general..."

Before Mo Xuan finished speaking, the Seventh Prince raised his hand to stop him, and glanced at General Qian, which almost made Mo Xuan jump up, but fortunately, the Seventh Prince looked back at last.
