Lonely King and Widow

Chapter 1319 The pit is 306 meters deep, and the past screams

It was a deadly cold day in the twelfth lunar month.

In the early hours of the morning outside the Kangu city, fog filled the air, and the body was chilled by frost.

There was a heater on the carriage, but Mo Jiu's body shrunk in the blanket was still cold for a while.The faint light of the fire reflected on her pale cheeks, and there were two rows of deep bite marks on her lips, which showed that she had suffered a lot.

But she didn't make a sound, her eyes were always looking out of the car window, the patrolling soldiers coming and going, quietly waiting...waiting for that figure to appear.

But Xiao Qian didn't come back, and there was no news at all.

However, after the initial nervousness, Mo Jiu gradually calmed down.

As things stand now, no matter how nervous you are, it won't help.

She had no choice but to comfort herself.

She has taken the medicine left by Xiao Liulang for the second time.

It has to be said that Liulang's reputation as a genius doctor is indeed well-founded.

After taking the second pill, her lower abdomen has become much more comfortable. Although there is still a slight throbbing, compared to the tearing pain before, it is as if one is in the sky and the other is in the ground.In this way, Mo Jiu gained a lot of confidence in the fetus in her womb.Like a complete idealist, she always used inexplicable willpower to talk silently with the child.Tell him to be strong, to be brave, to work hard, to hold on—

It's silly.

But the power of willpower is really great sometimes.

She convinced herself, as if she really convinced the fetus who didn't understand anything.

Both mother and son have gone through the most difficult time——

However, her body became more comfortable, but her worries and worries were not less.

This battle has been fought for too long.

It's been so long that she feels that if she waits any longer, she will grow old.

Never before had they fought such a long campaign.Countless Beimeng wounded soldiers were carried down from the front and placed under the simple canopy.Some people died, and some people filled it up. Human life, in war, becomes extremely small, and the cruelty of war is more deeply reflected here from quality to quantity.

Mo Jiu both heard and saw it.

I heard that Beimeng gave up the attack for the time being, and during the rest and harassment——

But why hasn't Xiao Qian come back yet?

what is he doing?Mo Jiu couldn't help feeling suspicious.

The fingers under the blanket were gently rolled up, and she became nervous inexplicably.

At this time, in the Beimeng camp, the emotions that Mo Jiu could feel were even more tense.

The first unsatisfactory war since the beginning, the Beimeng soldiers who consumed too much physical strength, and the rumors that seemed to haunt their hearts endlessly: Suhe rebelled, Menghe Khan gave up, there was no follow-up help, no food and no weapons ——Now they are just a group of gambits. If they kill themselves, they will have nothing.Such a mental blow made them feel more suffocated than physical fatigue.Sometimes people are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of spiritual lack of support, which will be more terrible than death.

The Northern Mengbing at this moment is facing such a situation.

Various speculations and discussions were circulated in private.

The people resting in the camp, the wounded, the tired, the collapsed, the lying down, all of them lack energy.

They all seem to be caught in an inexplicable emotional agitation.

After Xiao Qian left, Gu Er became "Prince Su He" as a matter of course.He was wearing Xiao Qian's armor. In addition to the helmet, he was wearing a large veiled hat and a black cloak. He was riding Xiao Qian's horse, and he was accompanied by Chuang Bei and Xiao Qian's other personal guards. Xiao Qian's similarity is extremely high, walking among the Beimeng army under the night mist, he did not arouse anyone's suspicion at all.

The soldiers sat on the ground in the night dew.

Seeing him coming, they all cast their eyes.

Those who are courageous can't help but ask a few questions.

"My lord, when shall we attack again?"

"My lord, is this battle going to be fought? We can't just wait like this, can we?"

"My lord! Do you have no food tomorrow morning?"

"My lord, why didn't the Great Khan send us food and grass?"

One question after another, there is no way to answer it.

Gu Er knew that what they wanted was not an answer, but an affirmation.

Riding on the horse, he replied calmly, "Just take a good rest, with me here, I won't starve you."

Looking back, he asked the gang leader to boil hot water, and sent people to "collect" grain and grass outside the city.With so many people, they have to eat, and it won't be long before dawn. If they don't replenish their physical strength, it will be difficult for them to protect themselves, not to mention going to attack the city again.Of course, there is no way to go out of the city to "collect food and grass".At critical times, survival is the most important thing, and other things can't be taken into account so much.

Seeing the big pot set up, the boiling water, and the bags of rice noodles being carried back, the big guys seem to be refreshed again, "Haha, there is something to eat."

"As long as the people of Nanrong have something to eat, we will have it. What are you afraid of?"

"Yes! No? Grab it!"

"Hahaha!"

Listening to the sea calls of the soldiers, Gu Er was busy, pretending not to hear them.

Previously Xiao Qian had never allowed soldiers to disturb the people, let alone openly grab food—but before leaving tonight, he hinted to Gu Er that he could handle it as appropriate.When is discretion available?It's time for him to act accordingly.Only with a full stomach can one have combat effectiveness. As for where the food comes from, it is simply a trivial matter for the army in war.

Standing in front of the blazing bonfire, Gu Er was not at ease when he heard the "cracking" sound.

"Report-"

At this time, someone galloped from outside the camp.

He turned around and looked, "What's the matter?"

The person who came was the ex-military spy, walked up to Gu Er, and said in a low voice: "My lord, after Emperor Nanrong arrived in the niche, there seemed to be some changes in the city... According to our spies' observation, I'm afraid they will take advantage of the high morale. Sheng Zhiji, go out of the city to counterattack."

The wood on the fire made a "pop" sound.

Gu Er's eyelids also twitched.

He knew Song Xi very well.

It is not surprising that he will appear in the valley, he will counterattack——

This is not necessarily true.

After hesitating for a while, he slowly issued an order, "Order the generals to attack Kegu City every half an hour - only harassment, not recklessness. Just hang them."

The messenger looked at him, seemingly puzzled.

Gu Er lowered his voice, "Didn't hear that!?"

The messenger was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered his head, "Decree!"

He rushed out, but Gu Er stopped where he was, narrowing his eyes slightly to block the cold wind.

In the past, he had been with Song Xi for a long time, so he knew him very well.If they kept attacking fiercely, Song Xi might fight to the death.If they hadn't attacked, Song Xi would definitely have doubts about their strength.And what made it hard for Song Xi to make up his mind was the false harassment.His biggest shortcoming is that he often hesitates about affairs, and when he is hesitating, maybe at dawn, Kanhe and Jinzhou will become a piece of meat sandwiched in a steamed bun.

"Report!"

Before he could think about it, the messenger came back again.

He looked flustered, with a hint of panic.

"Report to the lord! Nanrong soldiers opened the city gates and counterattacked!"

Gu Er's back stiffened slightly.

Don't be surprised for three days!

It seems that Song Xi is going to fight this battle desperately because of the large number of people.

Tightening the sword around his waist, he rushed forward without hesitation.

"Pass me the order! All fight!"

"Order!"

The north wind howled, with a dull horn sound.

"Woo-woo-"

"Ugh-"

Three short and three long, the sound of the horn sounded like a urging tone, falling into the ears, making Mo Jiu who was lying in the carriage uneasy.She stretched her neck and looked out of the car window, her brows furrowed tightly, "It started again—?"

"Yeah! This time it seems to be more powerful than the previous few days?" Mei'er also felt some laws of war. She looked outside for a while, then retreated on her stomach, and touched Mo Jiu's forehead. Handed the warm water bottle to her lips, and coaxed her obediently: "Girl, would you like some water?"

Mo Jiu lowered his head and drank lightly.

Mei'er asked with concern: "Do you feel better?"

Mo Jiu raised her eyes and smiled at her, "It's much better."

No matter how uncomfortable she felt, she would not tell Mei'er.Because telling her, in fact, can't help much.No one can help with this kind of thing except herself.Therefore, she didn't want to tell anyone, including Mo Fan and Mohist disciples who had been guarding outside, they didn't know what kind of pain and psychological suffering she had experienced in the past period of time.

"Girl—" Mei'er looked at her like this, and felt a little bit aggrieved for her, "Your Highness, it's been so long, and I didn't even say come back to see how you are."

Mo Jiu looked at her small face, held his lips slightly, and scolded her.

"He is leading the army to fight outside. Do you think he is playing? How can it be a joke when so many people's lives are at stake? If he misses me all the time, his mind wanders, and he ignores the lives and deaths of so many people, what is he going to do? People? If that’s the case, I don’t care about him.”

Mei'er curled her lips, a little unconvinced.

But with the lessons learned from the past, she dared not contradict Mo Jiu again.

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

After a while, a flame suddenly appeared outside the carriage.

A group of people approached, and the person at the front was Chi Xi.

He walked outside Mo Jiu's carriage and asked softly, "Master Jiu, are you asleep?"

nonsense!Who can sleep at a time like this?

Mo Jiu replied weakly: "No, what's the matter?"

Kexi thought for a while, "Can I come in and say?"

With a hum, Mo Jiu asked Mei'er to help her sit up, and opened the curtain, "Come in!"

The carriage on the west came, bringing out a gust of cold wind, which made Mo Jiu involuntarily sneezed.

In just a moment, she noticed Kexi's hidden expression.

What's wrong with the atmosphere of this war?

Mo Jiu's nerves tightened, "What happened, Chi Xi?"

Chi Xi had a rare serious look on his face, "Jiuye, are you inconvenient? We have to get out of here immediately—"

leave?Where can I go at this time?
Mo Jiu was puzzled, "What happened?"

There was still hesitation on Chi Xi's face, "Song Xi arrived at Nigu, they opened the city gate and launched a counterattack... The situation is unclear for a while. The Lord is worried about your safety, let us take you away first."

Mo Jiu understood.

The disparity in strength between Nanrong and Beimeng is too great.

On the occasion of the decisive battle, the Beimeng army's morale was slackened, and this was simply the rhythm of death.In fact, if the northern warriors still maintain the glory of the battle, with their powerful cavalry assault ability and perfect formation, they will not lose to Nanrong at all, and they will be so restrained.

In the final analysis, they all won the psychological warfare of others.

right!At this moment, Mo Jiu finally found the words he had prepared.

Nanrong's tactic is called "psychological warfare" in later generations. In a war, if you seize the enemy's psychological weakness, you will seize the chance of victory.

"Sure enough, man's greatest enemy is himself."

Mo Jiu couldn't help but smile slightly.

When the two armies face each other, the brave one wins.

At this time, Xiao Qian asked her to evacuate first, so she had to evacuate.

Because staying will only make him unable to let go and become his burden.

Thinking about her own body, she actually knew that it was not suitable to be jolted at this moment, but after thinking about it, she nodded and said to the west: "Okay, let's go to Xinglong Mountain."

Chi Xi was stunned, "I also ordered so."

Mo Jiu smiled slightly, closed her eyes, told Mei'er to close the curtain, and ordered her again.

"Bring me two more pills."

……

……

After fighting for such a long time, Nan Rong has always been passively defending. After finally opening the city to counterattack, he was like a wolf like a tiger. Thousands of horseshoes almost crushed the night in the valley. There was no difference for a while, but within a moment, they fought with the Beimeng cavalry outside the city of Kangu.

Mo Jiu's carriage was behind the camp, so it was easy to leave.

But if her carriage evacuated, it would give Beimeng soldiers a very bad psychological signal.

——They couldn't beat Nanrong, and the princess started to run for her life.

In order not to affect the morale of the army, and in order not to make her goal too big, Mo Jiu gave up the carriage that made her very comfortable, changed her clothes and attire, and chose the dangerous behavior of riding a horse.

Mo Wang and Chi Xi were originally not allowed, they thought it was too risky, she was pregnant after all.

But Mo Jiu insisted on this, and no one could persuade him.If he persuaded her tightly, she would simply not leave.So, a group of people couldn't hold her back, and took advantage of the battle in the camp to start, they led her out of the camp and headed towards Xinglong Mountain.None of the disciples of the Mo family were wearing military armor, and the guards including Chi Xi and others also changed into plain clothes when they left the camp.

The front is fighting, but the rear is actually the safest.

Along the way, away from the flames of war and the smell of gunpowder smoke, the surroundings were surprisingly quiet.

The expression was too heavy, and no one spoke while walking on the road.

The team was surprisingly quiet, Mo thought for a while, walked up to Mo Jiu, broke the silence, and asked her in a low voice: "Xiao Jiu, we are already far away from Kegu City, and there will be nothing wrong if we come here, why not?" Find a place to stay first, and wait until dawn? If you drive in the middle of the night, I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it..."

Mo Jiu really suffered a serious crime this night.

But she glanced back and shook her head firmly.

"It's not safe here. Let's rush to Xinglong Mountain as soon as possible while it's getting dark."

On the boundary of Xinglong Mountain, Mo Jiu is a local emperor, and there is no one who does not turn to her. Moreover, Xinglong Mountain has a complicated terrain and many mountain roads. The firearms and ordnance, she sits in the mountains, she can be a full-fledged bandit, and she will send troops to the imperial court, and she will only have a headache.

Xinglong Mountain is absolutely safe.

And at this time, the place she would like to go the most is Xinglong Mountain.

"But—" Looking at her pale face, Mo Wang still hesitated.

"I know my body." Mo Jiu has always been stubborn, "Let's go, speed up."

"Oh!" Mo Wang sighed heavily, "Hurry up, everyone!"

With Mo Jiu and not in the war zone, they did not choose a remote place, but chose the direction of the official road.During the war, in such an early morning, there was no one on the road at all.

After walking smoothly for more than half an hour, the tense heartstrings of the big guys relaxed.

"Brother, how long is it until Xinglong Mountain?"

Mo Jiu rode the horse for a while, and her stomach ached again. She asked Mo Wang feebly.But Mo Wang didn't answer, instead he stopped his horse abruptly, his posture seemed to be stiff.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Juzi!" At this moment, Cao Yuan, who had been walking in front, suddenly came back with a low and nervous voice, "There are people blocking the way ahead..."

anyone?

Mo Jiu's eyes are not good.

But if you walk a few steps forward, at first glance, there are more than just people?

There are obviously many, many people in that dark crowd!

But those people were strangely quiet, as if they never existed, riding quietly on horseback, guarding a large black-draped carriage.The carriage was parked in the middle of the official road, and one side of the window was open, and there seemed to be a person sitting in it, but the light was too dim, and her eyesight was too poor to see clearly.

However, at this moment, she thought that there was no need to see clearly.

Who would be here, waiting for her with such a big battle?
Slightly narrowing her eyes, she seemed to hear the screams of the past——
