The night is getting thick, and Qianni City is silent, except for the street in front of the Huichun Tower Inn. Dozens of fires have been lit here, illuminating the entire street and the houses on both sides, leaving no shadow.
The door was closed tightly and had not been opened for five days. A dozen Shanshan soldiers holding weapons gathered around the fire and whispered, and occasionally laughed.
The Huichun Building, which is only separated from the street by a wall, is completely dark. After being stimulated by the light from outside, people's eyes can't see what's inside at all. In this darkness, the people who are still in the Huichun Building are busy working. The guards
They were all covered in leather armor, and the horses were also bitten, with a halter covering their mouths to prevent them from making any sound. Everyone's steps were very light, and those led by Shi Bao were even more cautious.
There was a pile of stones piled up in the corridor inside the gate, and the sand and soil that could be found in the cloth bags were used to block the pile. The pile of stones was as high as a person. Shi Bao also kept giving orders for more people to come, for fear that there would not be enough small stones.
Lao Wang stood behind Su Ren, suddenly thought of something, and quickly turned to look at Su Ren. Su Ren was standing under the eaves of the lobby, quietly looking at the busy people in the yard.
The sky was getting brighter, and there was movement outside the door of Huichun Building. The neat steps and rhythmic hooves of horses showed that many people had gathered on the street outside. Standing in the yard, you could hear the shouts of team leaders. Merchants who knew the dialect of the Western Regions
Upon hearing this, he almost collapsed to the ground: "Oh no, they are preparing to attack!"
Hawking sneered: "I'm afraid they won't come, just in time!"
There was a knock on the door, and a voice shouted outside: "Listen, people inside, you have only one stick of incense to come out and surrender, or else the Huichun Building will be washed away with blood."
"Hahaha..." A large burst of laughter spread into the yard. Huang Shisan jumped down from the roof: "There are many people outside, and they have already lined up at the entrance of the alley. The front and back doors are the same, and the yards of the neighbors on the left and right are also full.
Man, with the sword unsheathed and the bow strung, it may be difficult to rush out."
Su Ren glanced at Shi Bao: "Are you ready?"
"Don't worry, sir, everything is ready!"
"Okay, then open the door and see what they have to say?"
"Squeak..." The door that had been closed for five days was opened. No one had oiled the door in the past few days, so it made a loud sound when it was opened. The group of people outside the door quickly raised their hands as if facing a formidable enemy.
The weapons inside were raised and aimed at the inside of the gate.
Su Ren appeared at the gate wearing furs with Huang Shisan and Man Niu. Huang Shisan said loudly: "Let those two old guys come, our husband has something to say!"
No one paid attention to Huang Shisan, but stared at Su Ren warily. A man wearing leather armor came out of the team on horseback, with a look of arrogance and disdain on his face: "Which one of you is Su Ren? The Grand Master and the State Abbot said
As long as you don't surrender, don't even think about leaving. It's useless to see anyone. I have the final say here."
"Who are you?"
One of the pawns said quickly: "This is our general of Shanshan Kingdom!"
"It turns out he's the general, I'm disrespectful!" Su Ren wrapped the fur and said with a smile: "If the two old gentlemen don't show up, they sent you to die. If you don't talk about it, then wait until the incense stick is burned.
Just do it."
"Hahaha..., good!" The general laughed: "I heard that you, a young junior, have also led soldiers. I would like to advise you again. With your few manpower, you are no match for me.
, or surrender? There is no point in delaying it any longer."
"It will be a while if I can live a little longer. I am a human being and am naturally afraid of death. However, I would like to thank the general for reminding me that this kindness will be reported. When the war begins, I hope that the general will have his own destiny."
"There's no need to talk in front of me, the general. The fragrance is still half good. I don't mind waiting a little longer!"
Su Ren cupped his fists and saluted, and then retreated into the inn. This time, Huang Shisan and Man Niu did not close the door, but left it open, as if telling the general, come on.
The sun appeared on the horizon, and the yellowish sunlight shone on the body without any warmth. The morning fog was lifted by the sun and slowly rose until it covered the entire Qianni City. A soldier ran to the general:
"Report to the general that everything is ready to launch an attack!"
"Boom! Ah...! What is this?"
The screams spread in an instant. The general standing at the front of the entire team was nowhere to be found. The high-speed flying Shikuai could hit an earth wall a foot behind. The thin body of a human being is nothing at all.
Man Ti. The stones came very strangely. Judging from the direction, they flew out from the gate of Huichun Building, but no one knew what method the people inside used.
"Kill...!" Hawking took the lead and rushed out holding the halberd in his hand.
Before the people from the Western Region could react from the shock just now, flying rocks and thunder-like noises all over the sky blew down the door of Huichun Building. From the east wall to the west wall, there was an unobstructed open space. The opposite side
Houses also suffered heavy losses. Some sturdy houses were not destroyed by the shock wave, but were smashed to pieces by flying rocks.
The houses were like this, so there was no need to mention the people. There were people lying all over the street, and the archers standing at the front suffered the most serious attacks. They did not have thick armor to defend themselves, and there was no cover when the rocks flew. At this time
There are no more people standing, and not many people are lying on the ground. The others have gone to who knows where, and must have turned into minced meat.
The sword and shield wielders were better, even a wooden shield was better than nothing. The small wooden shield protected the upper body, leaving the lower body without any protection. It was these sword and shield wielders who screamed. The blood was stained red.
The ground mixed with the dust into puddles of dark red mud. The person who had lost his feet and legs tried hard to find his feet, but unfortunately he searched around and couldn't find them.
The cavalry received the least impact, not that they did not move forward, but the sharp sense of the war horses saved their lives. When Hawking rushed out with his men, the cavalry sitting on the horse wavered around like they were drunk.
He turned a blind eye to the cold sword, letting the cold-glow weapon pierce his body, and then fell down from his horse with a smile.
"This! This! What kind of witchcraft is this?"
The wine shop where Shao Weng and Mo Cong were hiding was also affected. Fortunately, they were far away from the gate of Huichun Building. Only a few stones were hit on the outer wall, and no damage was caused to many buildings. Shao Weng had never seen such a terrible scene.
Looking at everything in front of me, I don't know what to do.
Mo Cong sighed and shook his head: "This is heaven's punishment. It happened once in Wenshui and the second time in Chang'an. Now half of the north gate of Chang'an is still collapsed! According to the people of Chang'an, anyone who wants to kill the Shang God Su Ren
Those who die will definitely be punished by heaven, it seems this is true!"
"Heavenly punishment?" Shao Weng raised his head and glanced at the sky: "The sky is clear today, how can there be heavenly punishment? It must be the witchcraft done by Su Ren!"
"Boom, boom, boom..." Before the two of them finished speaking, another series of noises came from the long street. This time, the sound was smaller, but much denser. The soldiers of the Shanshan Kingdom who were guarding the entrance of the alley ran as fast as they could.
Everyone dared to stand at the street entrance. The Huichun Tower, which had been besieged for five days, was completely destroyed by a series of explosions. People gathered in the distance watched helplessly as Su Ren led his five hundred soldiers and horses to Qianni City, the capital of Shanshan Kingdom.
The world was turned upside down, and then he walked away.
Shao Weng was about to go crazy. He hammered the waiter and roared: "What a bunch of trash. That thing is a palm thunder that scares people. These guys actually ran away!"
"Brother Shao, have you noticed?"
"I'm not blind, how can I not see such a little trick?"
Mo Cong said: "Does the thunder in your palm have such power? A single explosion can make a river of blood flow in front of the door of Huichun Tower?"
"this……"
Mo Cong waved his hand and motioned for Shao Weng to sit down: "Don't worry, they can't escape. The space inside the city is small and the power of the palm thunder is huge. Once outside the city and into the Gobi Desert, no matter how many palm thunders Su Ren has, it will be useless."
."
"Brother Mo already has a plan?"
Mo Cong smiled and said nothing, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Finally escaping Qianni City, everyone who followed Su Ren let out a sigh of relief. Huo Jin was already covered in flesh and blood. He was so excited to kill just now that he no longer cared about the civilians or soldiers standing in front of his horse. As long as he saw a figure, he would strike with his sword.
Let's kill him first. This is what Su Ren told us. Now that they are weak and weak, if we pay attention to morality, it is pure nonsense. It is best to escape safely.
Man Niu took the reins of the horse, and Su Ren popped his head out of the car: "Are there any pursuers?"
Hawking laughed: "You still dare to come? God will punish you, as many as you come will die!"
Su Ren stood on the carriage shaft and glanced back. Qianni City was completely silent, and there was no one at the wide-open city gate. He took a deep breath and waved his hand: "Let's go quickly. We are only safe if we enter Bailongtan."
Han Qing asked: "Since there is no pursuit, there must be an ambush outside the city. Let's be more careful. I think we should take a detour?"
Su Ren waved his hand: "It will be more dangerous to go around. If we are targeted by horse thieves, we will suffer heavy losses. Only by arriving at Yumen as soon as possible can we have a chance of survival. Where is the base of the Huns, people from the Western Regions dare not act recklessly."
An eagle whistle suddenly sounded, and the lonely eagle circled in the sky for a long time without falling. The eagle was so big that it covered the sky and the sun when flying at low altitude. The dust raised made the gasping guards cough repeatedly. Su Ren was overjoyed.
: "Did you see it? Follow that eagle and speed up and set off!"
Everyone was puzzled, but Su Ren had already given the order, and they quickly packed up and chased the eagle. When Su Ren's men and horses walked away, two white heads were revealed behind the female wall of the city gate tower. Looking at the direction in which Su Ren was going, Shao
Weng asked in confusion: "What's going on with that eagle?"
Mo Cong said: "Those are their reinforcements!"
"Reinforcements? Impossible. I have already sent people to check, and there is not a single Han Chinese fifty miles outside the city!"
"It's true that there are no Han people. There should be Huns or Qiang people, right? At the worst, there should be a group of horse thieves!"
