Acacia, don't be negative

Chapter 384 The Long Wait

It has to be said that Nan Xirong is really a very cautious person.

Bai Yu froze for a moment, unable to answer for a while.Liu Jie's heart sank, and he also felt quite bad.

After a short and strange silence, the general suddenly realized that there was indeed a deceit, and when he raised his head, his face was ruthless, and he opened his mouth to shout loudly: "Yes—" But he only had time to say one word, and the other The soldiers of Beixia were even more vicious, they directly covered his mouth, took out a dagger and cut his throat with one stroke.I couldn't shout out the rest of the words.

There has been no rain recently and the weather has been very sunny.Although Nanzhen's grain and grass were not considered dry and flammable, once the open fire was ignited, it would still burn quickly under the guidance of the night wind.The billowing smoke and raging fire burned up all at once, and Nan Zhen's soldiers couldn't react.

Bai Yu, Liu Jie and others came out of the grain and grass camp covered in ashes, and the other two Northern Xia soldiers who followed closely shouted at the Nan Zhen soldiers, telling them to hurry up and put out the fire.And several people took advantage of the chaos to escape.

It was windy tonight, so how could the fire be controlled so easily, and there were no big lakes or rivers near the grain and grass camp, so it was extremely difficult to put out the fire.I'm afraid that the fire will not only burn their food and grass, but also burn the entire barracks behind.

When the sentinels in the barracks rushed over, Ye Song and the others were fighting fiercely with Nan Zhen soldiers, and saw the flames shooting up to the sky in the distance, and Nan Xi Rong's expression was even more terrifying to the extreme.Nan Xirong looked over, and when he saw Ye Song's expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, he realized that he had planned to divert the tiger away from the mountain.Unexpectedly, at the next moment, he smiled cruelly at Ye Song, but said: "If it is burned, it will be burned. If you go to save it now, you can't save it, so let it burn. I lost tens of thousands of food and grass and caught the north." Xia, the number one female general, who knows if she is worth it or not. Come on, if anyone captures her, I will reward him with a hundred taels of gold!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone rushed towards Ye Song.Ye Song was not stupid either. Seeing that she had achieved her goal, she retreated despite the difficulty. At this time, she and the Beixia soldiers were forced to the edge of the tower again. There were silver hooks for sleeve arrows stuck on the wall, and the soldiers followed along the way. The shackle flew down the high city wall.

Chen Mingguang guarded Ye Song's side, and the two were besieged very tragically, which also allowed the others to escape smoothly.In the end, Chen Mingguang swept down everyone with his spear, and before Ye Song could react, he hugged her waist first, flew up, and flew straight to the outside of the city gate.

How could Nan Xirong, who was behind him, give up, picked up a bow at his feet, drew the string fully, narrowed his eagle eyes, and shot at Ye Song.

The sound of breaking through the sky came.Ye Song instinctively pushed Chen Mingguang aside, turned around to look, and ducked to dodge at the very moment.

"Bang".

"Second miss!" Chen Mingguang hooked the iron chain on the city wall with his hands and shouted loudly.

The arrow pierced Ye Song's lock of long hair, and in an instant three thousand black hairs flew down like a waterfall.She glanced sideways at Nan Xirong hastily, then tilted her body and fell off the tower.In the middle of the sky, Chen Mingguang jumped up and caught them, and the two of them spun and fell.

He Chen ran over very nimbly, allowing Chen Mingguang and Ye Song to land on its horse, and a group of people galloped away.

When Nan Xirong stood on the tower and looked down, Ye Song and the others had already run a long distance below the tower, picking up a pile of flying dust.His face was a little ugly, and the general beside him asked: "His Royal Highness, can you send someone to chase him?"

Nan Xirong waved his hand, looked back at the fire not far away, which was becoming more and more prosperous, and said angrily: "Why are you still standing there, why don't you hurry back and put out the fire!"

When the grain and grass caught fire, some soldiers had already rushed to put out the fire. Now that Nan Xirong gave an order, everyone rushed to put out the fire.It was a dark and windy night, and it was possible that people who sent people after Ye Song would be ambushed by them.What's more, the food and grass of the tens of thousands of troops will be gone if they are burned, Nan Xirong is still unwilling.

Nan Shu stood beside him, standing with him in the vast night.After the orders from all parties were conveyed, all the people gathered on the tower dispersed, and the ground was covered with stumps, broken arms, and bloody mess. Nanshu's gentle figure was incompatible with the surrounding environment.But she seemed unusually quiet, because of the joint attack by Chen Mingguang and Ye Song, her pipa was broken, and the strings cut her fingers, and her slender fingers were dripping with blood, dripping down from her fingertips.

After a long time, Nan Xirong turned around and came back, half lowered his head and looked at Nan Shu beside him, his voice was soft but without any emotion, he took Nan Shu's blood-stained hand, and gently blew twice: "Look at you, Why did you accidentally break your hands? It would be a pity if such beautiful hands left scars. Fortunately, I have medicine for scars, and I will apply it for you later. "

Nan Shu's eyes moved, he saluted, and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness."

Ye Song and the others ran forward for a few miles, and someone asked: "General, what should we do now, Junshi Liu and the others have not come out of Yizhou City yet."

Coincidentally, there was a dense forest ahead, Ye Song pointed to the forest and said, "Go ahead and hide for a while, and wait for them by the way."

"General, do you think they will be caught?" After waiting for a while, when there was no news, someone asked again.

If you get caught, you will be in big trouble.Both Liu Jie and Bai Yu are the most capable people around Ye Song.But Ye Song didn't panic at all, he had absolute trust in them, and said, "Don't worry, they will return safely."

Chen Mingguang said at the right time: "I'm afraid that Prince Nanzhen won't open the city gate, then Junshi Liu and the others will not be able to leave the city smoothly."

Ye Song said: "Three or two of them don't necessarily have to go through the city gate to go out of the city."

Chen Mingguang pursed his lips, looked at the flames soaring into the sky in the distance, with a calm and firm expression, and said: "Second Miss is very right, but I don't know if our actions tonight have achieved the desired effect. Just now I saw that Prince Nanzhen was very angry. Decisively, if he will not be affected by the fire, not only does he not send anyone to inform Liuzhou's attacking army, but let them go all out, then the prince will definitely be in more danger."

Ye Song didn't panic, smiled calmly, and said, "According to Prince Nanzhen's character, it is indeed possible to do such a thing. It's just that Liuzhou and Yizhou are separated by tens of miles, and there is still a long way to go." Nan Xirong ordered to attack the city with all his strength, and the Nanzhen army in Liuzhou could see their back camp on fire as soon as they turned around. Guess what will happen to them, His Royal Highness is still in Yizhou, and there are countless grains and grass hoarded in Yizhou. They will definitely withdraw their troops immediately and return to the city to escort them."

Chen Mingguang's eyes lit up, and he said, "Yes, the crown prince of Nanzhen doesn't have to order them to go back to the city, they will go back by themselves."

The situation in Liuzhou City is very urgent.Although the Nanzhen army was unable to attack for a long time, some of them were troops who went forward and succeeded. If this continued, it would be very detrimental to the soldiers of the Northern Xia Dynasty in Liuzhou City.

While Su Jing led the troops to fight against the enemy bravely, she was nervous and worried about Ye Song's safety.There was no news from Ye Song for a long time, and he seemed to have a big rock hanging in his heart, and he couldn't help regretting that she shouldn't have let her take the risk.

Because he was distracted, he was accidentally slashed by an enemy soldier who boarded the city gate, and he killed him with a backhand sword.But he didn't have time to feel the pain. At this time, a companion pointed in the direction of Yizhou City ecstatically, and shouted: "It's on fire! Yizhou is on fire! They succeeded!"

Su Jing took a closer look, and the light was like the fire of dawn, which could illuminate all darkness and filth, and guide the way forward.There is nothing more exhilarating than seeing this flame of hope.The flames became brighter and brighter, and the Nanzheng soldiers under the city tower were instantly confused when they saw it. Su Jing was full of blood and killing, and a sincere smile appeared on her face.But in the blink of an eye, he turned into Shura from hell again, with a rage soaring, he raised his arms and raised the Northern Xia battle flag, and said loudly: "Kill—"

All the Beixia soldiers were excited: "Kill——"

Ye Song and the others squatted in the woods for half the night, their legs numb.Fortunately, it is not summer, and there are no mosquitoes in the woods, otherwise some will suffer.The horses were tied to the foot of the tree and buried their heads in the grass quietly. The brothers didn't say much, at most they only whispered a few words occasionally, and each of them waited patiently.

Chen Mingguang looked at the sky and said, "Second Miss, it will be dawn soon. If they haven't come back before dawn, we have to leave immediately. It's not suitable to stay in this place for a long time."

Ye Song squatted against a tree, bent his knees, rested his chin on his knees, and said calmly: "What's the hurry, at least we can't go back until Nan Zhen's army withdraws, besides", her eyes were as bright as ever Determined, "I believe that Liu Jie and Bai Yu will definitely come back."

Everyone believes so.Even though such a big event happened in Yizhou City, it would definitely be tightly sealed off, and Liu Jie, Bai Yu and the other two Northern Xia soldiers were weak, but they had Liu Jie's brains and Bai Yu's proud lightness skills and disguise skills , and with the nimble skills of the two Northern Xia soldiers, as long as they work together, they will be able to leave the city smoothly.

The woods are accompanied by the faint chirping of insects, and the horse grunts from time to time when it is full of grass, but there is nothing else.This eerie silence always makes people feel a little breathless.

I don't know how long it took, the stars in the sky gradually faded, and the sky began to spread a faint gray.It was almost dawn.

Suddenly, the clatter of horseshoes resounded in the surrounding mountains, like a song welcoming the dawn, vaguely absent, like waking up from a dream, with sleepiness, sparse, from far to near.

Everyone in the woods woke up instantly, no one said a word, and they all pricked up their ears to listen to the sound of horseshoes.

Then someone stood up, with excitement in his voice, and said, "Did they come back!"

The corners of Ye Song's eyes were slightly curved, and there was a smile as soft as the last touch of moonlight.She stood up on her knees, signaled to the others not to act rashly, and went to the edge of the woods to welcome them.It is not appropriate to make too much noise at this time, if it is not Liu Jie and Bai Yu who come, it will be easy to reveal their identities.
