Seeing the rocket flying out, Xiao Hei whispered in Qingyu's ear: "By the way, you are really big-hearted."
After speaking, without waiting for Qingyu's reply, he withdrew his consciousness.
Looking at the two stunned sisters in front of him, he smiled and said, "It's none of your business. Your idiot sister Qingyu got scolded by me."
"Oh!" Yan'er laughed upon hearing this.
Qingqing thought about it, clenched her little fists and looked at Xiao Hei and asked: "Brother, do you think everyone else is an idiot? Do you think my sister and I are the same?"
Xiao Hei shook his head and said softly: "If you two don't study hard, don't talk about me in the future. Even my brother will call you idiots."
Yan'er said "Oh!"
He held the pen in his hand and laughed: "Brother, there is a fire burning where Yan'er is playing in the mud!"
When Xiao Hei heard this, he felt like stars were flying around his head, and he was speechless for a moment.
After a while, he looked at Qingqing and asked, "Sister, can you also see the flames on the city fire?"
Qingqing chuckled: "Qingqing and Yan'er also saw that a stone flew out when the old grandfather waved his hand."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hei was stunned and speechless. After a while, he finally said: "You two little monsters!"
In front of Dingzhou City, General Ren Shi of the Northern Qi Dynasty made various calculations, but he never expected that the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty would set fire to it at this time.
??????????????????And the fire was still placed on the ten-foot-wide moat.
Just as the hundreds of thousands of Northern Qi troops were stunned, a "Boom!" sounded, and a blazing flame rose under their feet.
Originally, there were some hay floating in the moat, but these did not affect the determination of the Northern Qi army to attack the city.
But they never expected that the army of Dingzhou City poured hundreds of barrels of kerosene into the ten-foot-wide moat in the early morning.
Even though the army in Dingzhou City suffered numerous casualties before, Qingyu could not resist giving the order to attack.
Until Xiao Hei couldn't help but remind her loudly, until he saw that all the troops of Northern Qi were about to rush across the ten-foot-wide moat.
It wasn't until she couldn't bear it anymore that she gave the order for the final attack.
Although it was late spring, the wind was still strong. A gust of spring wind blew up, carrying the kerosene lit by tens of thousands of rockets on the moat, turning it into a long fire dragon.
】
A blazing fire broke out in front of Dingzhou City.
The fire dragon instantly set fire to the big trees and siege ladders set up by the Northern Qi army on the moat, and followed the soldiers heading towards the Northern Qi to sweep away.
This is fire oil. No matter how hard the Northern Qi soldiers beat it, they can't completely extinguish it.
Not to mention the spring breeze blowing, seeing the fire getting bigger and bigger, the screams ringing out from the moat, and the vanguard general issuing an order to retreat!
At this moment, even Huangfu Wuque, who was the vanguard general, knew that if he continued to send out soldiers to attack the city at this moment, he would be destined to die!
However, there were Northern Qi soldiers in the sea of fire who did not retreat just when they wanted to.
Even as the retreating horn sounded behind them, the army in the sea of fire was in a dilemma.
The Northern Qi army, which had rushed to the other side of the moat, had to forcefully cross the river and set foot on the land under Dingzhou City.
The army that had just rushed onto the moat turned their heads and retreated like a tide.
Only the Northern Qi soldiers in the center of the moat were in the worst situation, because at this time, the ladders had been burned, and countless soldiers fell into the moat.
In just the blink of an eye, he was engulfed by the raging sea of fire.
This is not a hell on earth, but it is better than the hell under Jiuyou.
The old shopkeeper on the city wall sighed silently. He thought a lot, but he didn't expect that the result of Xiao Hei's discussion with Qing Yu would be a fire.
It seems that Xiao Hei has really learned a lot of knowledge from his brother. Otherwise, with Xiao Hei's knowledge, how could he come up with a strategy of putting new wine in old bottles.
City Lord Chen Wendao looked at Qingyu and asked: "General, what should we do with the Northern Qi soldiers who have already crossed the moat?"
In his opinion, it was natural to take advantage of the victory to attack and eliminate all opponents in front of Dingzhou City.
Qingyu sighed and replied: "Don't worry, wait until the Northern Qi army evacuates. Those who surrender will be taken back to the city and imprisoned, and those who refuse will be killed on the spot."
Even this was taught to her by Xiao Hei.
And all of this was a move he had used before Nanyun City, otherwise Xiao Hei would never have thought of how to deal with such a situation.
When the old shopkeeper heard this, he didn't say anything, waved his hand and walked down the tower.
He was going back to the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion to chat with Xiao Hei and talk about what happened when he didn't know Li Xiuyuan.
By the moat, vanguard general Huangfu Wuque was issuing orders to evacuate the soldiers in the sea of fire with all his strength.
The rain of arrows from both sides in the sky showed no sign of stopping, and even the remaining eight siege tanks continued to throw stones at Dingzhou City.
Neither side stopped shooting arrows because of the retreat of the Northern Qi army.
Until a trumpet sounded in front of the camp of the Northern Qi army.
The army was like a tide, taking the injured soldiers with them to evacuate to the rear in an orderly manner.
At one o'clock today, the armies of both sides paid a heavy price.
Even the cost of Dingzhou City was higher than that of the Northern Qi army. The city was pockmarked by the opponent's siege chariots, and countless large holes were smashed into the city towers.
The only thing to be proud of is that the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty defended Dingzhou City at the least cost.
This is a victory for both Qingyu and the Queen.
A discussion with Xiao Hei made Qingyu understand that the Dingzhou City in front of her was different from the Danzhou City back then.
The Northern Qi in Danzhou City may or may not fight, and now that the Northern Qi army is advancing westward, they are attacking the imperial city of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
As a general, she had to fight a war of attrition with the Northern Qi army, consuming as much of the enemy's effective strength as possible, and waiting for the empress and the emperor to gather more armies for support.
Just after noon, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed.
The late spring sunshine emerged, shining quietly on the blazing battlefield.
There was an indescribable bitterness in the eyes of the city lords Chen Wendao and Qingyu.
In the second battle, the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty blocked the second attack of the Northern Qi army with a moat and a wall of fire.
The Northern Qi soldiers who had crossed the river and could not go back, numbering at least several thousand, had to raise their hands and surrender.
The spies of the Northern Qi army in the distance saw their companions being captured by the enemy and taken into Dingzhou City, and then they rode towards the camp.
As long as their opponents don't kill them on the spot, their companions can return to Northern Qi after the battle.
It was just this battle that made Qingyu want to vomit. She no longer had the intention to eat or drink with the city lord and a group of generals. She wanted to go back and wash up before discussing the next battle with Xiaohei.
City Lord Chen Wendao looked at Qingyu and asked, "What should we do?"
Qingyu replied quietly: "Clean the moat immediately and pick up the iron arrows we shot."
Chen Wendao was shocked when he heard this. General Xindao was indeed different from the defenders here.
At a glance, the moat is full of burning embers. If it is not cleaned up, it may become a tool for the enemy to cross the river.
Iron arrows are weapons used by both sides to attack. If you shoot one, you will lose one. Naturally, you have to take back all the iron arrows from your side and the other side.
Right now it is the territory of Dingzhou City.
Waving her hand, Qingyu walked down the city tower. The city lord was there to deal with the aftermath, so it was not her turn to worry about it.
…
After returning to the city lord's mansion, Qingyu took off her armor, changed into a green skirt, and came to the courtyard where Xiaohei was.
After eating, Qingqing took her sister to the house to dream.
In the living room, only the old shopkeeper and Xiao Hei were guarding a pot of water that had not yet been boiled. There was a bowl of rice and two plates of vegetables on the table.
Qingyu shook her head and said softly: "I can't eat it."
Xiao Hei smiled faintly: "Can't you eat anymore? If there is an enemy attack tonight, what if the battle continues tomorrow?"
He didn't want to say more, because his heart had already gone to the imperial city. Just like the late spring wind, although it was a little damp and cold, it was already a little bit hot.
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen his younger brother Xiaohu. He came back from Northern Qi to reunite with his relatives, not to be a general fighting the current war for Zhou.
The old shopkeeper didn't expect Xiao Hei to say this about Qingyu, and it made sense when he thought about it.
She couldn't help but look at Qingyu and smile: "I guess this is the first time you have seen such a cruel scene. No wonder. In a war, how can there be no casualties?"
Qingyu sighed, picked up the bowl and tried to take a bite, but couldn't help but run out of the living room.
After a while, there was a sound of vomiting.
Xiao Hei shook his head and said: "How can this guy be a general? Isn't the Queen embarrassed?"
In Xiao Hei's view, it's not like there are no male generals in the Zhou Dynasty. As the queen, why would the Li family send Qingyu to the battlefield to face the ruthless Northern Qi army?
After a while, Qingyu walked in, looked at Xiaohei and shook his head.
He said softly: "The empress said that this is the first battle, and he doesn't trust others."
There was one more thing she didn't say. It turned out that she and the Queen's plan was that when Qingyu arrived in Dingzhou City, they would send spies to the Imperial City of Northern Qi to fetch Xiaohei.
??????????????????After all, he was outside Zhoudan City, but Xiao Hei solved the danger of siege.
When there is danger again, even if Li doesn't want to disturb Xiao Hei, she has to send Qing Yu to fight. In her opinion, only Qing Yu can let Xiao Hei take action for her.
How could Xiao Hei not understand the reason behind this? Looking at Qingyu who was eating like taking medicine, he smiled faintly.
She said quietly: "The Queen is plotting against you first and then against me. She is not afraid that I will really turn around and leave. If I don't go to Northern Qi, I can go to the desert of Turks."
The old shopkeeper shook his head, sighed and said: "You guys chat, I have to take a rest and go shopping with the two little girls in the afternoon."
Yan'er has been bored at home for a few days and has long been clamoring for her grandfather to take her shopping.
Although the army was fighting outside the city, not many vendors in the city had moved out. There were always two little guys to eat, and I was afraid they would have to buy a lot more.
Perhaps in their view, the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty would not give up the great city of Dingzhou, and fighting outside would not affect their business.
Qingyu quietly finished the vegetables on the table and ate half a bowl of rice.
Xiao Hei just finished brewing the spirit tea, made a cup for her and put it on the table.
He looked at her and said quietly: "Drink tea first, and then tell me all the questions in your heart. Don't be in a hurry."
Qingyu quietly held a cup of spiritual tea and took a sip. She felt a strong bitterness welling up in her heart and was about to spit it out...
"Don't vomit, take your time to recollect it."
Xiao Hei sighed and said leisurely: "This tea should only be found in heaven. Sister Qingyu, please don't waste my time."
This is the spiritual tea grown by his brother on Tianshan Mountain. Speaking of which, this is the first time Xiao Hei has given Qing Yu a drink.
If Qingyu hadn't just experienced a life-and-death battle, he wouldn't have wanted to give her such precious Tianshan spiritual tea at this time.
The present moment is not a good time to break through, but it is the best time for Qingyu to understand the way of life and death.
After today, no matter how good the spiritual tea Qingyu drinks in the future, it may not have such an effect.
When Qingyu heard this, she was shocked at first and then speechless. Before she could swallow the strong bitterness, a hint of sweetness spread in her mouth.
Xiao Hei said softly: "My brother once told me that life and death are determined by God, but sometimes we might as well go against God."
"So, did Sister Qingyu see life and death today?"
Looking at Qingyu who gradually closed her eyes, Xiao Hei continued: "Drink tea while it's hot, and take your time when thinking."
Qingyu sighed faintly: "Xiao Hei, what is life and death?"
