Chapter 47: Looking for Qin Sanyou

Qi Jun and Yun Feixue bid farewell to Qin Sanyou, held the pass, and returned to the East Gate Wounded Soldiers Camp along the city wall horse trail to be raised.

Standing high on the city wall, you can have a panoramic view of the whole city of Tsuruzaka.

From the north gate to the east gate, the black flags of Shun's army are planted along the city wall. Inward is the area where Shun's army and Ning's army are fighting in the streets. The black flags of Shun's army and the yellow flags of Ning's army are intertwined.

The war was basically over in places where black smoke was emitting, and flames often shot into the sky in places where fierce battles took place. Occasionally, you could still see fighting in the streets and alleys. The entire east city was shrouded in smoke and dust. If you wanted to go south to see the progress of the Baiyue Army, you could hardly see it.

Looking to the southeast, there is a large lake that reflects the white clouds in the sky. The small islands in the center of the lake are connected and green. They must be the four continents of the East Lake. There are various boats going back and forth in the lake. It seems that the islands in the center of the lake have indeed become

Xu Quangan's headquarters.

Looking to the west, there is thick smoke billowing from the west side of the city, and the sound of cannons is still coming continuously. The Ning army in Ximen is still holding on, but now that the north city has been taken, Shun's army who fought through the city wall will not call Ning's army.

If they persist for too long, it is estimated that the Baiyue Army in the south will be almost gone. From then on, it will probably be fierce and cruel street fighting.

Since they came out at noon, the sun has already hung on the west wall. The two of them walked more than ten miles on empty stomachs. When the things were done, their tense nerves relaxed and their stomachs immediately rebelled.

Qi Jun was the most hungry. The last meal he had had was last night's supper. Because he had some action at night, he didn't eat much for supper. After a hard night and another injury, his intestines were twisted into twists.

, frantically transmitting pain signals to the brain, roaring in its own way - I'm hungry.

The two of them found the nearest trail to the city and looked for food in the neighbors, but every house here closed their doors and windows, and they couldn't even see anyone even if they went all the way, let alone food. There was no other way.

We can only take one more beating, and there will definitely be food in the wounded barracks.

Turning to the main street, Qi Jun was so hungry that he sat down to rest for a while. When he was about to get up, there was a noise behind him. He looked back and saw a team coming out of the side street. It was Shun Jun escorting a large group of people.

Common people. Most of the common people are old people and children, and there are also women, but there are no young and middle-aged men.

As the team approached, Qi Jun asked an officer: "Brother, what kind of errand is this for?"

The officer ignored him and said, "You have long eyes and you can't see. Take me into custody!"

Qi Jun smiled and said, "Where are you going to take this?"

The officer had already stepped past Qi Jun without even looking back.

Yun Feixue intercepted a soldier with a loyal face at the end of the team: "Brother, what are you taking these people to?"

The soldier said: "I only know how to escort you outside the east gate. I don't know what you are going to do when you go out."

After the group left, Yun Feixue said to Qi Jun: "I saw a group of people being escorted outside the east gate before. This is another group. There are no young and middle-aged men. They are all old and weak women and children. I don't know how to escort them."

do what!"

Qi Jun thought on the bright side: "They are all incompetent people. We should take them out of the city to avoid suffering from military disasters!"

Yun Feixue exhaled, "I hope so!"

After resting for a while, the two continued eastward, and when they arrived at the wounded barracks, a soldier behind them shouted loudly: "Make way, the officers are on business!"

Looking back, I saw another group of old, weak, sick and disabled people, all with grim faces, reluctantly being pushed out of the city gate by Shun's army.

Qi Jun stopped another officer, waved the pass in his hand, put on an official air, and asked: "Why are these people being escorted out of the city?"

Qi Jun's aura came out and he waved the token in his hand. The young officer immediately showed his good looks. "Don't you know, sir?"

"What do you know? If I know, I'm still asking you!"

The young officer nodded and bowed: "These are all criminals!"

"Offending the people!" Qi Jun didn't understand. "What is offending the people? What law was broken?"

The junior officer invited Qi Jun and Qi Jun to the roadside and whispered: "Shangguan doesn't know yet, but this is a new order from the commander-in-chief, asking us to search for Ning Jun's family members and take them to the outside of the west city to call them

Parents, wives and children, please go and persuade us to surrender."

"What kind of advice are you asking, do you line up in a row and stand under the city and yell?"

The young officer smiled and said: "Of course it's best if you can shout to surrender!"

Qi Jun's heart skipped a beat: "Then what if you don't surrender?"

The young officer raised his hand and slashed cleanly, causing Qi Jun's eyes to turn black.

He calmed down, grabbed the young officer's chest, and asked fiercely: "Didn't the commander-in-chief give a new order not to massacre innocent people? Didn't you receive the order?"

The young officer said aggrievedly: "This order was issued less than half an hour ago!"

"Fart!" Qi Jun yelled, "Not to mention whether the new order has arrived, how can you gather such a large group of people in less than half an hour?"

"This is not, that..."

"What is that?" Yun Feixue's eyebrow thorn pointed at the young officer's throat.

"Shang...Shang Guan, please forgive me. I really did follow my orders!"

"What's going on with these people?"

The young officer shook his head and replied: "It's really your destiny to tell us below to gather the Ning army's subordinates."

"Are they all military personnel?" The tip of the Emei thorn almost touched the young officer's skin.

"Basically."

"How are you sure?"

"Everyone in the family who doesn't have a young man in his family... uh... basically!"

"Nonsense!" Qi Jun pushed the young officer away. He was originally injured, and after running back and forth, he was hungry. Just now, he relied on a strong energy to restrain the young officer. When he relaxed, stars appeared in front of his eyes, and his body

He tilted, but Yun Feixue had quick eyes and quick hands to catch him.

"Shangguan... If everything is fine, Shangguan, I will leave right now." The young officer wanted to run away.

Qi Jun stretched out his hand and pointed at the more than thirty people waiting in the urn city: "Give them to me and you can go."

The young officer shrank his neck: "Shangguan! Shangguan! This is a matter for a young man. You can't embarrass him!"

"Fart!" Yun Feixue twisted her Emei thorn into a flower and cut off the buckle of the young officer's breastplate. The breastplate fell to the ground with a crash. The young officer was so frightened that he sat down on the ground. "If anyone asks you, just say yes.

I heard that the people who were left by the Lord of Qi in Leicheng City, your Commander-in-Chief Qin agreed, there are his relatives among them, see who dares to embarrass you, get out!"

The young officer was so embarrassed that he wanted to argue again. Yun Feixue was trying to be aggressive. The young officer was worthy of having been on the front line. He hurriedly dodged to the side with his head and shoulders rolled, signaled to his subordinates to let him go, and went to the alley to complain to his superiors.

.

Yun Feixue helped Qi Jun walk to the Wengcheng. In front of her were more than thirty people with dead faces. Yun Feixue found a middle-aged man who seemed to have some ideas inside and said, "Everyone, run away quickly!"

The common people looked at me and I looked at you. The middle-aged man asked: "Escape? Where to escape?"

"Go east, isn't that still Daning's territory?"

The middle-aged man smiled: "This is our home. We are not going anywhere. We will die in Hesaka!"

Yun Feixue was anxious: "Do you know where the soldiers were taking you just now?"

"Ximen, we know. It's a good idea to persuade Hesaka to surrender. We know!"

"Then you still won't run away?"

Several elders smiled at each other: "Hesaka people are always willing to bow their heads, but never bend their knees. We bow our heads because we are wrong. We are right, we don't even lower our heads!"

An old woman caressed a crying little girl next to her: "It doesn't matter if the old woman closes her eyes, she only pities my little grandson!" She raised her cloudy eyes and looked at Yun Feixue, "Girl, if you were a Bodhisattva alive,

, just help us take away these children, okay?"

Faced with such determination and regret from the people, Yun Feixue's heart was beating wildly and she didn't know how to deal with it.

At this time, Qi Jun had recovered and said to the people: "You only have one life. It is better to die than to live. You are not more useful dead than alive. Listen to me, there are many large camps stationed in the four continents of East Lake. You

We can try to board the Four Continents and help him continue to hold on!" At the end, he added a lie, "Zhong Xuan's reinforcements will be arriving in a few days, so go quickly!"

When the people who were already determined to die heard that Xu Shaocheng was still resisting, a few more sparks were blown out of the ashes in their hearts. The middle-aged man bowed to Qi Yun and said, "Dare I ask my benefactor's name? If

If you survive, you will build a shrine to the two Bodhisattvas one day."

Qi Jun waved his hand: "No need to live in the temple. I'm so scared. Let's go quickly and go to East Lake separately. Be careful and don't let the searching Shun army catch you again."

After a delay here, Qi Jun's heart had already rushed to the West City, and he didn't know what happened to the people there who "persuaded them to surrender". Yun Feixue saw what he was thinking and ran to the East Gate Prison to force "please"

Two horses were brought out, and the two of them got on them, went out of the east gate, and galloped around the outside of the south gate toward the fierce battle at the west gate.

There was no talk all the way, but as we turned from the southwest corner of Heban City, the low muffled thunder turned into an ear-splitting roar. On the west bank of the Jingji River, all that flickered was the "Jin Zun General" of Shun's army, showing off his evil. Although it was blown

It was a southeasterly wind, but the smell of gunpowder smoke was still very noticeable in the air.

During the bombardment, all the siege troops were hiding in the distance on both sides of the city gate. Looking at this moment, they could only see the densely packed coalition forces in the south. They wanted to find out where the common people were among the black Shun army and the mainly blue, green and yellow Baiyue army.

It was very difficult to get dressed. When he ran a little closer, he was stopped by the Baiyue Army.

Qi Jun explained his purpose of coming, but the Baiyue Army refused to let them go. The two of them had no choice but to pick up a slightly higher ground and look towards the front line, when they encountered a heartbreaking scene.

At this time, the bombardment had stopped, and the eyes of the defenders were vaguely visible on the riddled west city gate. Below the city, a group of more than fifty people were pushed to the river. The people below the city were shouting something to the city. It was too far.

I couldn't hear it clearly, but it was undoubtedly a sign of surrender.

There was no response from Chengtou.

Shun's army in black chopped down five civilians with swords, kicked their bodies into the river, and floated down the Jiaojiang River.

Shun's army shouted to the city again, but there was still no response from the city.

Five more innocent people disappeared from the world. Qi Jun's eyes were about to burst.

Suddenly, a Ning army jumped up from the top of the city. He fully drew his bow and shot at Shun's army below the city. Unfortunately, it was beyond the range of the arrow. The men at the city head even fired three arrows to no avail.

A woman ran out from the ranks of the people at the foot of the city. She was yelling something at the top of the city, but she was running so fast that she fell down and could not get up again.

You don't even have to hear the sound, you can feel the heartbreaking pain just by looking at the man's movements on the city wall.

Behind the woman, a Shun soldier came up with a knife. He grabbed the woman's hair and pulled her head up. He cut the woman's neck several times with the knife in his hand. He raised his head high with his hand.

On the top of the city, the man broke free from the restraints of his comrades, jumped out, fell to the bottom of the city and broke his waist, but did not die immediately. He used his last strength with both hands to crawl towards the woman's body.

The sound of the entire battlefield instantly disappeared, and all the eyes of all creatures were focused on Ning Jun, who was crawling to death on the battlefield. Shun Jun held the woman's head high, as if a devil was tempting the creatures to fall into hell, while the man approached the one he loved without hesitation, and then

near.
