Chapter 218

Listening to the familiar or unfamiliar groans behind her, Xi Mo was helpless.

After looking around to no avail, he gritted his teeth: "Brothers, you must hold on. I will go to the Benlu tribe to find someone to rescue you."

After instructing those who were less injured to take care of the seriously injured, he rode on his horse and hurried eastward.

This trip is two hours.

In the afternoon, Xi Mo, who was sweating profusely, finally rushed back to help with a team of deer runners and cars.

"Brother, where is the doctor?" Someone tugged on Xi Mo's clothes in despair: "Why is there no doctor, brothers will not be able to hold on."

In fact, half of the seriously injured have stopped breathing.

Ugh.

Xi Mo was full of remorse, and finally just looked up to the sky and sighed.

Although the Yanfeng Fortress was plagued by epidemics, the soldiers were short of doctors and medicines.But fighting against them, Xiliang's vanguard did not go smoothly, and also suffered heavy casualties.

The current Benlu tribe is full of wounded, large and small, from the Xiliang Pioneer Army.How can any doctor be spared to treat them?
When the Luoxi people who were still able to move heard this, their faces turned ashen.

They walked around in a circle anxiously, wanting to scold but didn't know who to scold.In the end, they had no choice but to lift the dying clansmen into the car and hurried to the Benlu tribe.

After more than half a month, Xi Mo hurried back to the tribe with the few remaining tribesmen.

In an instant, Luoxi was stunned.

"Aren't you... just going to escort food and grass? What about the others?"

Xi Mo glanced at the patriarch, lowered his eyes silently, he didn't know what to say.

Since the royal court's chariot was activated, all the tribes on the grassland have followed into the battlefield, and no place is safe.

Escorting food and grass is relatively safe, but it is only relative.

Someone came out and explained the situation, which immediately caused an uproar.

"Is there any reason for this?" Someone asked incredulously, "Not only have we lost hundreds of children, but we also have to pay for the lost food and grass?"

Xi Mo and his party did not say a word, but lowered their heads deeply.

If they don't pay, not only will the Benlu tribe's wounded people be in trouble, but even the other tribes on the grassland will probably become Luoxi's enemies.

"Too deceiving!"

All the people present were trembling with anger, but they had no choice but to obediently think of a way.

Stray cattle and sheep are not a problem.Squeeze all kinds of dried meat, and you can still squeeze out the burned ones.

But the problem is that there are fifteen carts of medicinal materials in the grain cart, so the Luoxi people can't just squeeze them out.

"Let's discuss with them and see if there is any way to solve it." Patriarch Luoxi took a few people and left with the apology.

A few days later, when they returned to Luoxi, everyone's clothes were stained and there were a few dark welts on their faces.As soon as the wind blows, he gasps for cool air.

Then there was a rumor that the patriarch was going to borrow medicinal materials from the surrounding tribes.

Xi Mo frowned deeply.

Borrowing things is understandable, but Luoxi is just an ordinary tribe on the grassland, not rich and doesn't have any special products that other tribes urgently need.

So what to borrow is a problem.

He glanced at the grass field under his feet, and then his eyes fell on the terrified little sister.

As the night darkened, more than a hundred horses quietly left Luoxi in the silence and walked into the vast night.

Since then I don't know where to go.

Compared to Luo Xi who was in trouble, Gu Datou and his party of more than [-] people lived a little peacefully.

They have no idea where they are now, they only know that they are walking deep into the grassland every day.

Find a remote place to recuperate during the day, and attack when you find the logistics convoy at night, and they succeed repeatedly.

For a while, Xiliang's logistics suffered heavy losses.Even the march of the army had to be slowed down.

In desperation, Xiliang had no choice but to use the regular army to transport food and grass, and at the same time sent a large force to look for people.

But where to find it.

The vast grassland is vast and boundless, and the people of Xiliang did not notice the slightest sign of Qi Baying.

Occasionally, they found some clues, and they were ready to make dumplings with a smile on their faces.In the blink of an eye, the other party miraculously disappeared.

------

Yunchui, Dingxi County where Yanzhen Fortress is located.

The capital is Dingxi City.

stomping on...

The sound of neat footsteps sounded.Teams of Dingxi Guards with weapons came over.

Xia Bangwei, who was at the front, was about to leave the city with a thick scarf covering his face.

"Brother Bang," Dingxi County Sheriff hurried over on horseback even before he could sit in his sedan chair.

He spread his hands sadly: "Forgive me for my vulgar words, you pat your ass and leave, what should I do with Dingxi City, and what about Dingxi County under my feet?"

Earlier, Gu Datou and the others discovered that the Xiliang brigade had taken advantage of the night to advance eastward, and immediately reported to the vanguard general Huo Ling.

The news quickly spread to Yanzhen Fortress and Dingxi City further behind.

Xia Bang, the county lieutenant, decided to lead his troops out of the city.

He raised his head and glanced at the city wall of Dingxi City: "Your Majesty, you should know that Dingxi City has a name."

Although the sheriff was puzzled, he still nodded his head.

Dingxi City is also known as Whetstone City.

First of all, this city, like the Yanfeng Fortress, was built entirely from the hard rock of the Dingxi County underground.The second reason is that this city is like a solid whetstone, which can not only sharpen the swords of Yunchui soldiers, but also never fear the wolves and tigers of Xiliang people.

Xia Bang smiled: "The stone city in front of me has high walls and strong walls, and the people in the city share the same hatred. The Xiliang cavalry may be strong, but they hardly have any large siege equipment. Don't try to take it down."

"Your Majesty, don't worry."

The sheriff couldn't laugh or cry.

"I know the strength of Dingxi City, but no matter how powerful the city wall is, it needs someone to guard it. Brother Bang, you took away all the guards. How can I defend the city?"

Haha!

Xia Bangwei pointed to the lieutenant next to him, "Didn't I keep the lieutenant and three hundred guards behind? With them sitting in the town, plus the quick arrest of the people in the city, Dingbao Stone City is safe and sound."

The two quarreled for a while while suppressing their voices.In order to bid farewell to the helpless sheriff, Xia Bang hurried out of the city and headed east.

"To defend Dingxi City, you can only defend Dingxi County. The Luoxia Mountain Range is the second rock frontier fortress. If you defend it, you can defend the vast western border of the empire." Because there are only [-] men, and the Luoxia Mountains have eight roads leading to the east."

"Without support, what a fart you can hold!"

He cursed and went back to the Sheriff's Mansion.

Xia Bangwei was rushing on the road silently, and he was also thinking about how to keep it.

Although only one is a post road, the eight roads have caravans and pedestrians coming and going all year round.Although the road is not very easy to walk, it is considered unimpeded.

Therefore, troops must be stationed on each line.

As a result, the strength in his hands was somewhat stretched.The most terrible thing is that there are many mountains between each road, and it is difficult for each other to rescue each other.

Do your best to keep it.

Xia Bangwei looked up at the eastern sky.

I don't know when the civil unrest in the previous counties will subside.

The only way to solve the immediate crisis is to re-open the road on the east-west line and send rescuers and medicinal materials to Yanzhen Fortress as soon as possible.

As long as the nail of the fortress is stabilized again, Xiliang will not dare to boldly attack eastward.
