Chapter 19, Another Western Expedition

Dunhuang thousands of miles away.

It has been almost four months since Fu Jiezi and his party left. At this time, Su Qiaoer has gradually become accustomed to the wind and sandstorming in Dunhuang and the life of military drums here. Every morning when she gets up, she goes to the army to write medicine for Su's father to drink, and then stay by Su's father day after day. Under her careful care, Father Su woke up in only seven days, but the wound on his body was so heavy that he couldn't get out of bed for months.

Old Jia had also been staying in this Han man's ward, but since all the patients came back to life, he has relaxed. Anyway, there are military doctors and Su Qiaoer guarding him. He also occasionally goes out to steal some alleys in the city to fool around for a night. Alexis guarded Su Qiaoer every day, guarded Su's father for the first half day, and took Su Qiaoer to see Moko to listen to the scriptures.

In a flash, Master Moke had practiced and was in good health. At noon that day, he returned from the outside and looked a little panicked.

"Miss Su Qiaoer, where are you going?" The old monk regarded the only girl who could understand his words and took care of him as a treasure, and his attitude towards her was also quite friendly.

Su Qiaoer was about to tell the truth to Alisis, but Moke sighed and said, "Miss Su, go back and take care of your father quickly. The Huns have come to attack Dunhuang, and the city must be in chaos."

"Ah!" Su Qiaoer looked pale when she heard this, and Alexis was also extremely nervous.

"What can I do?"

Moke said, "What else can I do? Now I can only hope that the Han army in Dunhuang can defend it. We have nowhere else to go."

Su Qiaoer didn't ask much, but just ran back with Alexis.

"Straight Thief! The Huns began to fight Dunhuang. Old Jia ran back from the outside, gasped and said, "Lao Su, this time there are 200,000 Huns, and the Han army is only 30,000."

Father Su remembered, but was held down by Su Qiaoer. The pain made him grin and said, "Is it too late to go out of the city now?"

Old man Jia said, "Now that the gate has been closed, the county guard ordered that no one should enter or cause riots, otherwise the military law will be punished."

Father Su looked at Su Qiaoer, sighed and said, " girl, it seems that she can't avoid it. If I had known this, I might as well let the Xiongnu stab to death. At least you can return to Chang'an safely. Now you are so tired that you suffer here..." Su Qiaoer quickly covered Su's mouth and just shook her head and said, "Dad, Brother Fu will bring people to save us."

While speaking, the sound of horses' hoofs outside suddenly rose and fell. In a short time, Geng Hufeng came in. He probably heard Su Qiaoer's words and said, "Miss Su, you don't have to be afraid. We have been guarding Dunhuang for more than ten years, and the Huns are not the first to come back to attack. You are here to recover from other things. Don't think too much about it. We, the Han army, will do a good job in defending the city.

Su Qiaoer nodded and hesitated, saying, "But this time the Xiongnu soldiers..." At this point, he saw Su's father taking his hand and motioned not to say anything, so he stopped.

Geng Hu's voice sank and said, "Yes, there are a lot of Xiongnu this time." After saying that, he dragged the heavy iron armor out, lifted the curtain with a knife, stopped again, and said, "But Miss Su, don't worry, even if we die, we will never let Dunhuang fall!"

Su Qiaoer nodded repeatedly and didn't know what to say.

Geng Hu originally planned to wait for Su Qiaoer to ask something, but the girl seemed to have no requirements. She smiled, took out a dagger from her arms and said, "Miss Su, don't go around the city in the near future. There are very few Han people in Dunhuang City, and most of them are Hun. They don't want to defend the city as much as we do. There may be some riots and some necessary self-defense.

Su Qiaoer was busy taking it and was about to go back. She thought that she forgot to say thank you. She said it back and ran away.

"Miss Su, I saw the Xiongnu soldiers!" Alexis ran back and looked nervous. He said, "I just saw it when I went to the city. Oh, my God, there are Xiongnu soldiers outside, and it's dark. Miss Su, can Dunhuang hold on?

Su Qiaoer was also confused and said, "General Geng said he could win the game."

Arisis shook his head and said, "He lied. Many Han soldiers said that they couldn't win. Miss Su, if the Huns enter the city, I will protect you." Su Qiaoer said, "What about my father?" Alexis was speechless for a moment and said, "I will also protect the Su Huo.

"Blowing," Su Qiaoer pouted and said, "You can't even beat me."

While talking, they suddenly heard a dull voice from the gate. The two couldn't help but change their colors at the same time and said in unison, "The Huns have attacked the city."

Outside Dunhuang City, the Huns who came to replace the yellow sand and became the most important scenery in Dunhuang at this time. For a moment, the carriages and horses were noisy and there were many knives and guns. Looking over, I felt that the wind did not move, and the sky was very low, as if it was about to cover the head of Dunhuang City. Geng Long, Geng Hu, and other Dunhuang guards gathered at the head of the city. A flag shook in the wind and hunted from time to time. The Han army lined up at the head of the city. A huge crossbow car in the city approached the gate step by step towards a long neck probing out from the city.

"Second brother, there are indeed a lot of Xiongnu soldiers this time." Geng Hu was a little guilty. 200,000 Xiongnu soldiers were more than six times that of the Han army. As soon as his words were said, several other generals were also seconded. Geng Long pointed to the army outside the city and said, "What are you afraid of? We have a huge city weapon in Dunhuang, and then there are reinforcements from the court. If the Huns dare to attack the city, we will fight fiercely!" We will die, and Dunhuang City will never fall!"

"The Han army is powerful! The Han army is powerful!" As the flag fluttered, the voice of the Han army was loud and spread far away, and even Su Qiaoer's place could be heard clearly.

The siege was made, and the Huns began to attack the city.

Although Su Qiaoer was not allowed to go to the city, he could already hear and see it here. From time to time, there was the sound of gunfire and boulder impact. She could even feel the sword shadow and drum horns there more clearly. She seemed to see the city owner wearing thick armor and fighting bravely to kill the enemy. . Suddenly, all this used to be so familiar.

"Miss Su, what are you thinking about?" Alexis came with a few fruits in his clothes and said, "Miss Su, what are you thinking about? Oh, don't be afraid. The elder once taught me that when people fight for their homes and relatives, they will be blessed by the god of light and charity. Lord Geng will definitely give us a big victory.

Su Qiaoer held her cheek and sat lazily. After a long pause, she said, "Ali, what do you think my father should do if the Xiongnu attack the city? What about those injured uncles?

Alexis can't answer this difficult question. Su Qiaoer sighed and said, "If only Brother Fu were here, he must have a way."

Thinking of this, Su Qiaoer couldn't help frowning. Brother Fu, where are you now?

Arisis blushed and said, "Miss Su, I will also protect you. Humph, when I get to Chang'an, I will tell the elder that I won't go back to rest, Miss Su, I will always be with you!"

Miss Su, don't you believe it? I really won't go back..."

......

Listening to Alexis's declaration from the novel to his childhood, Su Qiaoer suddenly felt a little inexplicably shy. Ali, a young man who grew up with him, is more like his younger brother, and sometimes he is not so clear.

"Drive, yo..." With a rapid and long shout, a group of Han soldiers stopped in the sight of her and Arisis. Su Qiaoer suddenly exclaimed, "Ali, you see, it's General Fu who has arrived!" Arisis followed Su Qiaoer's point and looked over. Sure enough, Fu Jiezi and more than a dozen Han soldiers were riding tall horses and dressed in military uniforms, and came here slowly.
