Chapter 53: Why Don't Men Bring Wu Hook
After a night of restoration, the city wall of Qiling Post was barely visible to be a city wall, or a cliff. Gu Qingci woke up very early and came to the cliff with the first batch of county soldiers on duty.
It didn't snow that night, but it was colder than yesterday.
Qin Keqing also got up when Gu Qingci got up, almost inseparable. No matter what Gu Qingci did, he followed him, which made Gu Qingci helpless, but helpless. He was such a silly girl!
Standing in the cold winter wind, Gu Qingci was wearing white clothes and fusing with the world. He felt quite irritable and restless. After standing for a while, he suddenly grabbed a handful of snow and formed a snowball. He threw it hard into the distance with all his strength. He did not use internal force. He was like an ordinary person. The road surface frozen by patrol soldiers was very slippery, and he almost almost fell down.
"Mr. Gu is kind-hearted and can still relax so much at this time."
At this time, the sound of the stinky old man Ning Qing sounded. Gu Qingci immediately turned around and saw Ning Qing hunched over and slowly walking up the trunk, with the knife still on his back.
Qin Keqing also glanced at Ning Qing, but just glanced at him, then turned around and pondered, not knowing what he was thinking.
Gu Qingci clapped his hands, walked to Ning Qing's side, and said lightly: "If you have wine today, you will be drunk today, so you don't care about life and death tomorrow."
Ning Qing was slightly stunned and said, "You are so literary. If you say it casually, it will be a classic that will be passed down from generation to generation, and it will also tell you all the various aspects of life in one word."
Gu Qingci was also stunned and suddenly realized that there was no poet in this world of Li Bai. His poem was drunk today, but if Li Taibai's poem came up with a few more poems I learned in my previous life, wouldn't it be a surprise to the old man?
"It's just a wise man," Gu Qingci looked around the mountains and said, "Why don't Mr. Ning take a rest?"
Ning Qing sighed and said, "How can I sleep? I don't know when the thief in Beimo will come. By the way, Lord Gu, will the scout you sent reply?"
Gu Qingci nodded and said, "I was so disturbed yesterday. Beimo had already noticed that he did not send people to fight Caogu today as usual. Instead, he returned to the camp overnight. I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle today!"
"Good come!" Ning Qing snorted coldly, saying, "I'm afraid they won't come. The old man's knife hasn't moved for decades and is trying to be warm."
Gu Qingci touched the Jade Bone Sword on his back and said, "Yes, I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood. I, Gu Qingci, are waiting for them to come. The city is there, and the city is dead!"
Ning Qing had more wrinkles on his face and said, "Mr. Gu, you should pay more attention. None of us can die, but you can't make any mistakes now. Otherwise, who will protect this Changling County?"
"I……"
At this moment, Gu Qingci suddenly saw a wisp of smoke slowly rising in the distance. It was wolf smoke. The rolling wolf smoke rose into the air. Ning Qing also widened his eyes in horror at this time, turned his head and looked over, staring blankly into the distance.
Gu Qingci immediately walked forward two steps. Looking forward, he had arranged for people to prepare two beacon towers ten miles away from Qiling Post yesterday. The place he chose was a hill, just far away from the walls of Qiling Post. At this time, the beacon tower was blazing fire. The winding city walls extended to the depths of the grassland, and there were still a few sparks shining.
He looked to the other side, and at this moment, the beacon tower also ignited a raging fire with a loud bang. The fire was fierce, and then the beacon tower on the ridge further west was also lit, passing it further away.
Gu Qingci narrowed his eyes slightly, slowly turned his head over, and happened to see Qin Keqing. At this time, Qin Keqing looked at him indifferently, his eyes were very dull, but he also said, "The people of Beimo are here."
Gu Qingci swallowed his saliva. He was a little excited now because he had never seen the beacon, but he had heard it countless times. Naturally, he knew what it means to light the beacon tower. For him, the cruelty and barbarity of the people in Beimo were the impression of the corpses everywhere yesterday, which was a group of bloodthirsty beasts.
He slowly untied the Jade Bone Sword from his back, held it in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, prepare me for the enemy!"
All the county soldiers on the city wall were shocked and held the spear in their hands tightly, shining in the cold wind, very cold.
An old man stood on the city wall with a knife, but Xiao Suo's back seemed so persistent. The desolate snow reflected his rolling hatred. It was very much for the people of Beimo. It was a great practitioner who had hated him for decades. His name was Ning Qing!
Gu Qingci and Ning Qing looked at each other and took a sword down the city wall.
...
Qiling Post, the city gate was closed at this time, and the nearby residents had already been arranged to leave, or were slaughtered by the village. Except for the county soldiers, there were no other idle people, and the order was not chaotic.
Mengge, the little prince of the Northern Desert, has been lingering in the northern part of the Xia Kingdom for a long time, and there has been no big news. It has not been until the recent few days that he has started to build grass valleys. He has not decided when to start driving straight in. Until yesterday, Gu Qingci came to Qiling Post.
In fact, over the years, the Beimo army has often appeared on the border of Xia Kingdom and occasionally killed people, but most of the time they dare not directly attack passes like Xiangqilingyi. For cities, they do not have the ability to carry various siege equipment at a distance. They will not risk huge casualties to attack the city just for plunder.
But this time, it was different. This was Beimo's long-planned plan. The little prince Mengge came with the vanguard troops himself. Gu Qingci also knew that the matter was very big and had to react as soon as possible, so he took the sword and got off the city wall.
Of course, it was impossible to escape at the last minute. He just came to command. He needed to arrange it.
Although Pang Shilong was a county magistrate, he was a soldier after all. When he heard the news that the Beimo army was coming, he hurried out of the tent without even finishing his meal.
He appeared in front of Gu Qingci in a blink of an eye and resolute manner.
Gu Qingci can't fight. After all, he has never participated in such a battle in his past and present lives. He can only hand over the command power to Pang Shilong. Although he is not sure and does not believe in Pang Shilong very much, he does not have many choices.
However, Gu Qingci didn't know that Pang Shilong was an old business. At that time, he sent a probe to contact the scout to inquire about further information. At the same time, he sent someone to quickly start to mobilize troops. Zhou Shi informed Ma Shilian and brought his crossbow team to the city wall, ready to go to the city to support him at any time.
Gu Qingci was stunned by the side. To be honest, he has been dealing with big and small matters every day for these days. Pang Shilong has always been following his orders. Apart from martial arts, he seemed to be useless. Although Gu Qingci was using Pang Shilong, he looked down on Pang Shilong in his heart. He did not expect that he would handle the war in an orderly manner.
