Then, Nie Lei led them into the city and told them everything they encountered.
These women in Dayan had planned everything that happened today.
At that time, they arrived outside the city gate with a large amount of food, grass and supplies. The city gate was wide open and there was no abnormality.
Qian Ertong and Nie Lei then left a small team of troops outside the city to guard the food and grass. They first led the large troops into the city to investigate the news.
After entering the city, the city was extremely depressed and almost no one could be seen.
It wasn't until we reached the center of the city that we met some ragged old men and women one after another.
They looked numb, obviously knowing that Dayan Kingdom had given up on them.
After he and Qian Ertong led the soldiers to survey the city, they prepared to leave the city to bring in grain, grass and supplies.
However, at this moment, some old men and women suddenly appeared and knelt down in front of them.
They begged bitterly, saying that when the men of Yan State evacuated, they took away all the food and supplies, and they had been hungry for many days.
When Nie Lei and Qian Ertong saw that several people were sallow and thin, and looked tired, they lowered their guard.
I saw them begging and begging, which was really pitiful. Several old women in the crowd looked like they could no longer hold on.
Of course, the two of them felt compassion and wanted to go help them.
After bringing the people to the main force, they prepared to leave the city to pick up soldiers and food.
The accident also happened at this time.
The women and old men led them into an encirclement surrounded by black powder. After the trap was triggered, almost all the men and horses were lost.
And those people also revealed their true colors at that time.
Dayan is worthy of being a nation on horseback, and even the women are extremely tough. Taking advantage of the heavy casualties of the soldiers, they gathered all the forces in the city and surrounded them!
Those women had no weapons, so they used kitchen knives, hoes, etc. in the house as weapons.
The unprepared military supply team with only a few people left faced a large number of Dayan people who were already crazy and desperate for their lives. The result can be imagined...
Nie Lei's face was filled with regret.
"Qian Ertong had a chance to escape! The reason why he stayed was to take care of me!"
"He said that he was not as fast as me on horseback. He guessed that the situation was the same in the other two cities. He was afraid that you and the prince would be in danger, so he just held back those people and let me rush out alone."
Nie Lei, a tough-minded man, almost cried when he talked about this incident.
"Prince! Princess! It's my fault! It's all my fault!"
"Qian Ertong has never experienced war and does not understand what despicable methods the two countries will use during the war. However, I have been marching for so many years and should have been wary! But I gave up my vigilance because they were women.
Heart, it's all because of me..."
Qin Rushuang interrupted his regret and got to the point.
"According to what you said, they were not a spur-of-the-moment idea, nor were they a desperate counterattack. I'm afraid someone had already arranged all this. Otherwise, how could an ordinary woman have black powder and the mechanisms triggered by its production?"
Speaking of this, Nie Lei said with hatred in his tone: "It's Yu Zaizhong! It's all designed by Yu Zaizhong!"
"He had arranged all this long before he went to poison the eldest prince!"
"I heard those women mentioning his name, it must be him who provided them with these things, and King Yan must be happy to see such a lose-lose outcome. However, if some women are sacrificed, it is possible to exchange for border guards.
A large number of casualties, he must be sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, ready to reap the benefits!"
"Yu Zaizhong...Yu Zaizhong! Even if you die, you won't worry about it!" Qin Rushuang's tone was full of anger.
This person had harmed her once before, and even after his death, he planned on designing the people around her to teach her how not to hate!
"You are in such a hurry to escape. Where else in the city can you tell where black powder and traps are buried?" Qin Rushuang asked with the last trace of luck.
Nie Lei closed his eyes in despair.
"No... the matter happened so urgently that we had no chance to think about it! My first thought at that time was to prevent you and the prince from entering those two cities."
Qin Rushuang's heart sank.
No matter how anxious she was, no matter how much she wanted to save Qian Ertong, she couldn't lead the border guards there to die without knowing where the government agencies were and how much gunpowder was buried in the city.
Xie Xun felt heartbroken when he saw Qin Rushuang like this, and finally couldn't help but said: "Don't worry, now that we know the situation in the city, we will slowly think of a solution..."
Qin Rushuang naturally rejected his proposal immediately, "I can't wait! I can't wait even a day! I want to arrange for someone to sneak in and investigate!"
She turned her attention to Nie Lei: "Is there a way to sneak into the city? This city should have more than one gate!"
Nie Lei nodded: "If you look around, you should always be able to find a weakly defended place to sneak in. After all, there are not many of them... There should be about two thousand people who besieged us that day. I was also panicked at the time, and I really didn't see clearly.
…”
Nie Lei thought for a while and said, "It is a good way to sneak into the city, but the only women and old women left in the city are women and old women from Dayan. Our military camp is full of men. How... how can we sneak in?
"
"Who said they are all men? I am a woman!"
"No!"
The first time Qin Rushuang said this, Xie Xun immediately rejected it without thinking.
"No! I won't allow you to go in and take risks alone!"
Qin Rushuang's tense mood for a day was finally ignited by Xie Xun's words.
"Then what else can you do, prince?! He is my person, the person I saved! He is the person I have worked hard to cultivate until now! He is also someone I treat as a family member! You asked me to watch helplessly
Is he waiting to die in the city?!"
Qin Rushuang knew that Xie Xun was not wrong about this matter, and she should not be angry with Xie Xun, but some emotions in her heart passed through her brain and were spoken out first.
"Didn't you hear what Nie Lei said? He had a chance to escape! But he gave up hope of survival just to let Nie Lei inform us. He was afraid that we would be in danger, so he chose to stay on his own
,How can you say such a thing?!"
"She is facing extremely vicious dying people, a group of hopeless lunatics! Yes, I can wait, I can indeed wait, but can he wait?!"
"He didn't know how much he suffered in the city. Everyone around him died. People around him were watching with eager eyes. The people he cared about were outside the city!"
"You asked him... why did you ask him to wait..."
"He should have... how desperate he should be..."
When Qin Rushuang said this, her voice was almost choked with sobs.
After going through so many things, how many people are left around her that she can trust and can be called family?
How could she, how could she just watch Qian Ertong waiting desperately in the city?
This is killing her, this is gouging out her eyes!
Yes, she protects her shortcomings, because in this world, there is only one person who can make her heart and soul, life and death...
There are only a few left...
"Tonight, I will disguise myself and sneak into the city. You guys will wait for news from me outside the city."
Qin Rushuang put away the flash of vulnerability in her eyes and made a decision with a firm expression.
