After hearing the report from his subordinates, Li Xiao excitedly closed his book and stood up: "You mean, this stubborn stone like Zhao has finally become civilized?"
"Yes, the army in Peifeng City has moved, and the three gates of the east city have been opened!" his subordinates knelt on the ground and replied.
"Great!" Li Xiao's eyes sparkled, he raised his head and shouted outside the tent: "Luo Rui!"
Konoe strode in from outside: "Young Master."
"We can set off, you go and tell us, it only takes one stick of incense to prepare, hurry up!"
"Yes, Master!"
"You go back now," Li Xiao looked at his men who were still kneeling on the ground, "You guys keep a close eye and report back if there is any situation!"
"yes!"
After coming out of the big tent, the rain became very light, the mountains were green and the clouds were rolling. Li Xiao looked at the surging river under the cliff and felt that the world was clear and bright, and he suddenly became enlightened.
…………
Waiting for too long is only in vain. After several hours passed, nothing came of it.
Zhao Kuo always stayed on the west wall, with a bitter taste in his throat.
Changba in the distance looked like a mud dragon, showing its teeth and claws, provoking him arrogantly.
Zhao Ming was extremely angry, but there was no trace of anger in the eyes on his face.
As he had previously abandoned the city without waiting, Zhao Ming finally didn't want to insist, but he didn't want to say anything either, so he directly asked Tao Yinhe to dispatch the plan.
He was sitting on the ground on the city wall, with a huge wound on the back of his hand. The guards on both sides tried to bandage him several times, but he refused. He wiped it casually and ignored it.
He Chuanjiang came up from the city wall, walked to Zhao Ju, and looked at Zhao Ju quietly without speaking.
Since he suggested that Zhao Miao abandon the city a few days ago, Zhao Miao was furious and did not want to see him for several days.
The rain in the sky became lighter, but the cold wind blew, freezing the bones. The gloomy and dim skylight reflected on their faces, making their faces look gray and white.
He Chuanjiang's clothes were rustling, standing in the wind, looking at the general who had been side by side for many years, sharing life and death, and finally broke the silence: "General, it's time to go."
If Zhao Ming didn't hear anything, he passed for a long time before finally getting up and walking towards the stone stairs of the city wall.
The people in the city were still trapped in their homes under the ban, and the army did not relent. They did not dare to go out without permission.
Many people were hiding inside the door, or peeking out quietly by the wooden windows on the second floor. The whole city was silent, except for the sound of water brought by the soldiers walking in the rain.
Ten miles outside the city, a horse galloped towards the pavilion. The girl on the horse faced the cold wind, and her little face was blown pale.
The horse stepped on the flood water and ran all the way to the city. Xia Zhaoyi found a place with a windy slope and came down, tied the reins, turned around and looked at the city gate in the distance.
Seeing the wide open city gates, as well as the uniforms and horses of the soldiers inside the gates, Xia Zhaoyi frowned and looked up at the tower on the other side.
It's not too high, and it's not difficult for her to climb. What's difficult is not being noticed.
Patting Qingyun's neck, Xia Zhaoyi took a deep breath, dived into the water, and swam towards the farthest city wall.
Arriving under the horse face of the third enemy tower, Xia Zhaoyi broke through the water, rubbed his face, and then climbed up along the inner corner of the city wall below.
There were still guards on the city tower, but there were not many of them. With the shield from the horse's face, she climbed very quickly. After climbing up the city wall, she clung to the outside of the enemy's tower and quietly climbed up to the top of the enemy's tower.
There are several barbicans in the city. The army has assembled under the city. It has not yet started, and the teams and battalions are still in order.
Xia Zhaoyi raised his head and looked towards the city, but he couldn't see the edge as far as he could see.
Although Peifeng City is not as good as the capital, it is still a large city where hundreds of thousands of people live. She has short arms and short legs, so it is too slow to go in and find Zhao Zhu.
Looking around, Xia Zhaoyi's eyes fell on a few war horses in the second city gate in the distance. Only the terrain there was easier to attack.
"I heard yesterday that if we can go back alive, we won't have any good fruits to eat." A soldier said.
"Otherwise, now that the city has been abandoned, we will be really in trouble this time." Another soldier said.
"It would be miserable if we didn't abandon the city." The youngest soldier sitting next to him said.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Another soldier quickly asked him to shut up.
"Can you guys stop being like this? The book says that the law does not punish the public. We came to provide disaster relief this time and it was a meritorious service." A soldier next to him shouted.
The young soldier whispered softly: "My mother said before she was alive that I must not be hungry when I am fourteen or fifteen years old, otherwise I will not grow taller."
After saying that, he touched his stomach uncomfortably and growled hungry.
The officers and soldiers assembled over there came over, and the captain and several teams were striding over.
"Let's go," a soldier stood up, "returning to the team."
Going down the stone steps, the water level suddenly reached my thighs.
The soldiers went there to lead their horses. One soldier was stunned, looked at the other horses, and shouted in horror: "Where's my horse!"
If he loses his war horse, his head will also be lost.
Everyone was attracted to him, and when they looked around him, it was really empty.
"Look!" The young soldier suddenly pointed to the street behind him, "Look!"
Everyone hurriedly looked where he was pointing, and saw a girl driving a horse, who had already reached the third city gate.
The captain blinked, what a girl!
"What's going on?"
"She stole the horse?"
…
"What are you doing standing still!" the captain roared angrily, "Hurry up and chase!"
Several soldiers mounted their horses and chased towards the third city gate.
"drive!"
Xia Zhaoyi slapped the horse's butt hard, clamped the horse with his calves, and ran forward.
She was not strong enough and the beating was useless, so she decided to use Qian Sibi.
The sharp pain made the horse howl and run faster and faster.
"Stop her! Stop her from the front!"
"Stop that horse!"
The soldiers chasing after him shouted angrily.
The people in front didn't react and saw a horse running towards them like crazy.
Everyone quickly moved out of the way, subconsciously saving their lives, and then they hurried to pursue him after they regained consciousness.
The heavy water hindered and slowed down the speed, but the horse, which was already in pain, and the girl on its back, which did not weigh much, still left the pursuers far behind.
More and more people heard the noise ahead, and someone took out a long piece of wood and waited, ready to swing it when the horse approached.
But the street was too wide, and the girl was very good at equestrian skills. The wildly galloping horse was pulled to the other side by her without slowing down.
"Stop her!"
"Stop that horse!"
The sound behind him continued, and more and more people were chasing him. The long street became a mess, and splashes of water surged to both sides.
"Drive!" the girl shouted loudly, and slapped the horse on the buttocks again.
At this moment, a sharp chill arose from my spine.
Xia Zhaoyi raised her head and looked forward. Two crossbows were pointed at her. The arrows of the crossbows were cold.
"Stop!" the captain in front shouted, "stop and I will spare your life!"
Xia Zhaoyi gritted his teeth and tightened his grip on the horse's belly: "Drive!"
