The strategy of conquering the national division begins with drawing Thangka

Chapter 2

Su Qi hugged her, rolled her to the corner with all his strength, and propped up a small space for her with his body, completely protecting her under him.

Bai Zeqing recognized this man through Su Qi's arms, isn't it the military brother who came to his uncle's house with wine to congratulate Su Qi on his promotion a few days ago?She gritted her teeth and shed tears, but she couldn't cry out.

"Brother." Bai Zeqing sobbed softly, "I, I'm so scared..."

Su Qi slid his throat, pulled the corner of his mouth to smile, and softly comforted: "It's okay...it's okay."

Bai Zeqing heard that Su Qi's breathing became very difficult, and there was a strong smell of blood in his breath.

The surrounding cries have gradually diminished, leaving only the unbearable moaning of pain and the howling of the cold wind.

"Brother." Bai Zeqing whispered in the dark corner surrounded by Su Qi's body, "I'll carry you...Brother."

Su Qi's body was like a twisted shield. He smiled and said hoarsely, "Brother can walk."

The viscous and warm liquid fell drop by drop, landing on her neck and her cheeks.

"Brother, you, have you been hit by an arrow?" Bai Zeqing's worry surpassed her fear and uneasiness, she reached out to touch Su Qi's chain mail, and moved gently to find the wound.

The blood flowed across her fingertips along the armor, and soon became icy cold.

"No." Su Qi tried his best to smile, and he said lightly, "...it's the arrow of the millet tartar, no, no..." While speaking, more blood gushed out of his throat.

Bai Zeqing's hands were covered with blood. She reluctantly wiped Su Qi's face, and said with a choked voice, "Auntie made dumplings, wait for us to go home. Dumplings, dumplings are delicious, I have already eaten them secretly, brother, we eat a lot bowl."

Su Qi's voice gradually became weaker: "Brother eat...slowly, you...don't rush."

Bai Zeqing's hand had already touched the tip of the arrow that pierced through Su Qi's chest. The arrow pierced through the chest from the back, but did not penetrate the armor on the chest, but the clothes inside were already soaked with blood, and even the blood was so cold at this moment.

"Brother..." Bai Zeqing felt her blood turn cold, and she was choked up, unable to speak.

However, Su Qi seemed to have remembered something, and said seriously: "I have...something...for you..."

Bai Zeqing cautiously probed into the chain mail, and slowly peeled off the wet and cold clothes, one layer, two layers, and finally took out an exquisitely carved puppet from the layer of the underwear, which had been soaked in blood. It has become a strange dark red.

"This is, I made it for you, Yuanxi ceremony... You want to learn woodcarving... This time, if... you can go home... I will teach you... I will teach you everything..."

Bai Zeqing hugged the little wooden figure tightly into his arms, and nodded vigorously.

The snow gradually covered Su Qi's body. He seemed to be very sleepy, and his voice became quieter. He wanted to smile at his sister, but he didn't even have the strength to pull the corners of his mouth.

"You have a... fate, in the future... definitely... Brother Big..." Su Qi closed his eyes before he finished speaking.

Bai Zeqing held Su Qi's hand tightly, and said softly, "I'll learn from my brother. When I finish my studies and earn money, I can marry my brother's sister-in-law..."

"elder brother."

"elder brother……"

Bai Zeqing called softly.

Su Qi remained silent, as if she was tired of hearing her ramblings for countless nights when she was a child, and couldn't help falling asleep...

The thunderous sound of horseshoes sounded again, as if someone in the distance shouted, "Reinforcements are coming..."

Bai Zeqing struggled to open her eyes, trembling all over, she gently shook Su Qi, calling him: "Brother, reinforcements are coming, wake up, brother..."

The sky was twilight, and when the northwest cavalry came across the glacier with their horseshoes wrapped, Qusu's army was in the joy of easily capturing Ningzhou City, raping, raping, murdering, arson, and plundering wantonly, so happy.

It wasn't until the fire in the heavy camp outside the city that a row of dark cavalry crossed the Changning Pass and dashed in from the gate of Ningzhou City like a thunderclap. Only then did Qu Su's army realize that something was wrong—as if the battle of last night was repeated again. All the sentries were placed in the investigation and monitoring of the Jianmen frontier army and the Tongzhou and Jianzhou defenders. It was never expected that the first to arrive was the expeditionary army far in the northwest.

However, the northwest iron cavalry advanced steadily, competing with the Qusu army street by street, sweeping away the remaining resistance forces in the city.

The battle was cruel and fierce, and the Northwest Iron Cavalry's fighting power was astonishing. The fight was a heroic scene, and the ending was not hard to imagine: the [-] Northwest elite troops who had experienced hundreds of battles swept away the Qu Su army who had raided long distances and slaughtered them all night. Big suspense.

When the sun rose above noon, all the organized resistance was shattered. The Qusu army flag at the head of Ningzhou city was cut down, and the long eagle and black flag of the Northwest Cavalry flew high.There was no trace of Qu Su's army in the city anymore.

The city was broken overnight and recovered in one day.

On January 78th, [-]th year of Chengtang Dynasty, the bright red sunset was setting in the west. The second son of the Northwest King, Major General Wang Chi, led the first ace army of the Tang Dynasty, the Northwest Cavalry, to take back Ningzhou City.

However, defending the strongest defense line of the Tang Dynasty for a century, the Xisha Fortress on the outskirts of Ningzhou, Tongzhou, and Jianzhou was broken, the grain road was destroyed, and the defenders of the Changning Pass, Tongxia Pass, and Jiannan Pass Fortress were forced to retreat. The three counties are destined to usher in continuous wars.

The cold wind howled and the snow fell.

Bai Zeqing's head was in chaos, and he felt more and more cold.

The sound of hoofbeats was like dull thunder.

Reinforcements are coming?It's reinforcements coming!
She saw the black armor of the Northwest Cavalry at the corner where Brother Qi was propped up. She cried and clutched Brother Qi's cold clothes, the blood had stopped dripping, and she could never wake him up again.

She forgot how she crawled out.When she stood up against the wall, she choked up with sobs.

Su Qi's back was densely packed with arrow shafts, and he turned into a curled up hedgehog, but his hands were so firmly supporting the wall and the ground, guarding Bai Zeqing.So much blood flowed on Bai Zeqing's body, yet she was unscathed.

She swallowed tears, and shouted desperately in the direction of Hei Jia's inspection: "I am the daughter of Sheriff Baiyan, please take me back to the Sheriff's Mansion!"

Her voice was too hoarse, and she didn't attract the attention of the black-armored cavalry until she yelled for the fourth time.

Northwest raptors hovered in the sky, and the sound of the bumping armor hit his heart heavily.The sound of horseshoes was approaching, and Bai Zeqing saw the heavy cavalry headed straight towards him.

The horse under the heavy armor was like a ferocious beast, panting with heat, it had already rushed a few steps away, and it suddenly reined in the moment it was about to collide with it.The horse's hooves were raised high, and the person on the horse had turned over after stopping.

The visitor went straight to Bai Zeqing.Before Bai Zeqing could speak, this man kicked Bai Zeqing in the heart with lightning speed!
This kick was so strong that Bai Zeqing spurted out a mouthful of blood when he opened his mouth, and his whole body was already rolling out, and all his internal organs were about to be vomited out in a short while.

Bai Zeqing, who was guarded by Brother Qi with his life, almost died under this kick.
