Chapter 1

Fireworks were blooming over the city of Ningzhou, and Su Yutong came out through the curtain, holding a white porcelain bowl filled with dumplings with thin skins and large fillings.

"Call your brother back!" Su Yutong greeted, "Don't stop for a while, let him come back quickly for the New Year's Eve dinner!"

"Okay!" Bai Zeqing, dressed in youthful attire, climbed over the railing in the corridor, walked to Su Yutong's side in a few steps, and ran away with a dumpling in his bare hands.The dumplings were so hot that she breathed out, and shouted vaguely: "Doumu, the dumplings are as good as seven!"

When I went out, I saw Badur Chitrika sitting on the steps and drawing the golden line of Thangka that he had drawn for more than half a year. No, with a look of admiration on his face, he said: "Uncle, this green Tara portrait is about to open your eyes, right?".

Baduer snorted "hmm", hooked the thread in his hand, glanced at Bai Zeqing, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, how much is the dumpling worth? Look at you! Tell your brother to come back, let's go to Furong Have a good meal upstairs."

Bai Zeqing was about to answer the call, but saw his aunt coming quickly, and hurried to the door.Looking back, I saw that my aunt had already picked up my uncle's ear, and said tauntingly: "Don't like dumplings? You can do it, you have so much spare money? Take your silly boy over there by yourself! What's wrong with the girl who likes to eat the dumplings I made? Ah ?”

Bai Zeqing finally swallowed a big mouthful of dumplings and laughed out loud.She jumped down the steps, waved to her uncle and aunt, and ran out of the alley to find her brother Su Qi.

"Bang, bang bang..."

Dazzling fireworks bloom in the star-studded night sky of the border city of Ningzhou. Ningzhou City specially expanded the scale of the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival to welcome the capital inspectors. Countless people flocked to the streets to watch the lights, but all this came to an abrupt end at the most exciting time.

"Enemy attack! Enemy... ah—"

The short screams were drowned in the sound of fireworks exploding, and the drunk and panicked duty post had only time to release the sentry arrows to warn, and was killed by an arrow.

The black and dense canal soldiers rushed past the outer fortifications of the castle like a tide, and countless simple ladders were built on the city wall.

The warning whistle was covered by the celebration fireworks in the city, which did not attract people's attention at all.

The incident happened in a hurry, and the gatekeeper hesitated a little, and a large group of Qusu soldiers wrapped in the defeated sentry guards of the Ningzhou Fortress rushed into the gate of Ningzhou.

"No, the enemy is attacking, close the city gate, close the city gate quickly!"

The small school guarding the city gate tonight realized that something was wrong. While shouting, he put on his armor in a panic, not caring that there were still hundreds of rout soldiers who hadn't entered the city, and shouted to let the guards push the winch to close the gate, but it was already late.

"Erlang, follow me in!"

The leader, General Qu Su, swung his huge ax with both arms, and cut off the sling of the city gate with a thick bowl mouth several times. The city gate fell to the ground with a loud bang, and could no longer be closed.

Thousands of Qu Su soldiers shouted excitedly:
"The city is broken! The city is broken!"

The frenzied tide of Qu's millet soldiers rushed forward, almost unharmed, and poured into the city.

"Your Majesty, Governor, the enemy is attacking! Qu Su's army has entered the city!"

It wasn't until the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion was knocked open by blood-soaked Ningzhou guards, and the adults who were promoting cups and glasses during the singing and dancing, did not know that something was wrong.

The county guard Bai Yan and his eldest son Bai Zeming gathered more than 3000 people to rescue them at the top of the city in a panic, but encountered Qu Su's vanguard on the way.Seeing that Qu Su's army had already entered the city, the temporarily assembled soldiers were in chaos, and they were defeated before the battle.

"Father, get out!"

Bai Zeming snatched the enemy's long knife, cut off the hilt of an arrow pierced into his chest with his backhand, swung the spear, and fought with wounds, still with the might of one against a hundred. Surrounded by heavy enemy troops, he forcibly fought for his father A way out.

"Ze Ming!"

Seeing that his eldest son had fallen into the chaos in order to save himself, Bai Yan gritted his teeth and fled back to the county guard's mansion under the cover of his personal guards.

"kill--"

Qusu's army rushed to kill, and the garrison camp in the city was also broken.

Qu Su's army fought fierce street battles with the Ningzhou stragglers who were stubbornly fighting in the corner. Fires ignited everywhere in the city, and the flames engulfed the houses in the dark.

"Fire, it's on fire—"

"The sow tartar came in—ah!"

"Quick, run away—"

The fleeing civilians crowded the streets and alleys, and whenever they met Qu Sujun, no matter men, women or children, they were either swept by knives or shot with flying arrows, and there were endless screams for a while.

"I am Su Qi. The Ningzhou Army will follow me to kill those who are not afraid of the dead! Protect the people and retreat!" The youth's shouts not only gathered the scattered soldiers, but also let the chaotic people find a backbone to rely on.

Su Qi, who had just been promoted to captain in red a month ago, ran around in the flames of war. Finally, at dawn, he recruited reserve soldiers and private soldiers from various prefectures to organize a death squad, fighting and saving many civilians along the way.

"Brother Qi, 163 people were injured and 39 were killed. This is not the way to go."

As soon as he covered the people all the way and retreated into the alley, Liu Daniu, the deputy captain of this temporary death squad, finished counting the casualties of each team, and went to Su Qi with a sad face to report.

"That's right, I kept retreating, and I was aggrieved by the beating!" The second team leader Xu Hu simply bandaged the arrow wound on his leg.

"Why don't we rush out and fight them hard!" Zhang Ying, the leader of the sixth squad, clenched the handle of the knife tightly.

"Leave the bows and arrows to the wounded, let them stay to protect the people, and the rest," Su Qi pointed to the enemy distribution map drawn by the scout Li Tian on the white cloth with charcoal, "follow me and Daniel, Divide into two groups, from here, and here, attack most of Qusu's army, if we can make a hole in the city guard battalion, it will be considered meritorious service!"

"Yes!" Everyone agreed with a bang.

Under the leadership of Su Qi and Liu Daniu, more than 2000 people risked their lives to attack most of Qusu's army, hoping to find a breakthrough and join the city guard battalion to drive Qusu's army out of the city.

Bai Zeqing ran in the heavy snow and the flames of war, it was too chaotic, she couldn't find anyone.It took only a moment for the enemy to break through the city, and the streets and alleys were flooded with fire and screams.

"elder brother--"

Bai Zeqing yelled in all directions, his voice already in a crying tone.

"Brother! Where are you? Brother..."

The sound of horseshoes gradually surrounded him, and heavy snow blocked his sight. Bai Zeqing was deeply immersed in the sound of horseshoes, but he couldn't see anyone on the left or right.The fight was in the ears, and the blood splashed on the face.

Bai Zeqing's legs hurt, and she was pressed to the ground by an irresistible force.

Her mind was in chaos, and she only remembered the big knife that was slashed when she turned around, and Su Qi who jumped off the horse and threw her down.

She tightly grasped the edge of Su Qi's armor, only to feel that the shouts of killing around her were not so scary anymore.

But before they could get up, someone else was cut down.

Bai Zeqing faced the unrecognizable dead man face to face, and a shield pierced by an arrow fell down and would hit her waist.

The rain of arrows whistled in the wind, and another person was hit by an arrow, which hit Su Qi heavily on the back, and then rolled to the ground, spitting blood, his eyes closed tightly, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
