Chapter 738 Someone Who Will Never Betray
Chang Hu's armor clanged, and when he turned around, his cloak raised a shadow. Under the firelight, this usually generous general revealed a rare trace of sadness in his eyes.
"You don't know..."
His rough fingers unconsciously stroked the bricks and stones of the city wall. Chang Hu took a deep breath and whispered, "These children are all 'orphans left behind by the human wall'."
"Human wall? Orphans?" Ran Qingxuan's heart trembled, and a picture instantly appeared in his mind.
"When Uncle Gu was trapped in Hulu Pass twelve years ago, that great battle..." Chang Hu's voice was as low as thunder.
"The Yigui people secretly captured a lot of people from the border. Their purpose was to use them as human shields and force them to march at the front of the army."
"The parents of these children... used their bodies to block the swords and arrows of the Yigui people, and only collapsed after watching them escape into the interior of the country."
The night wind suddenly sobbed, blowing sand and dust from afar onto the city wall.
Ran Qingxuan subconsciously pressed his abdomen, as if he could feel the cries of his parents before they died.
She finally understood why these young soldiers were chosen, and why there was always an unmeltable ice in their eyes.
"There are many more children like this under the command of the Marquis of Zhenbei. Most of them choose to join the military camp after they grow up to kill the invading Yigui people!"
Chang Hu looked into the darkness: "These children are suffering. They live for two things: to kill the foreign ghosts and to protect their families who they were not able to protect back then!"
Ran Qingxuan was silent for a long time, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Brother Chang, you can put the spy work aside for now. I have more important things to do that need a team of 100 people to handle. I don't know if they can do it!"
Chang Hu knew that Ran Qingxuan was not an ordinary person, and he was forcing him to use a gun, but practice makes perfect, and he became familiar with it over time.
But he now keenly realized that if Ran Qingxuan did not take action, it would be fine, but if he did, it would definitely cause bloodshed again.
"Whatever my brother-in-law tells me to do, I'm sure they'll be able to overcome it!"
Chang Hu ordered the archers to temporarily go down from the city wall. These people knew that the so-called thunder from the previous night was completely man-made.
But apart from awe in their hearts, they didn't have any extra thoughts. After all, winning the battle and surviving was the most important thing.
The general gave orders, and the archers who were originally on high alert quickly dispersed to both sides, leaving only a team of a hundred people in place.
However, the few people did not notice that among the departing archers, a slightly tall man kept looking back.
His eyes were always on Ran Qingxuan. Yuanbao seemed to sense something and stood up alertly, but it couldn't tell whether this person was curious or something else. After all, her master was not attacked...
"Yuanbao, what are you looking at?"
Ran Qingxuan sat on the chair provided by the soldier, holding her belly, and reached out to touch Yuanbao's head.
Yuanbao turned his head and rubbed it, making bursts of pleasant purrs in his throat.
Ran Qingxuan glanced in the direction Yuanbao was looking, his eyes flashed, and he patted its head gently.
"Go and play! But don't bite anyone, okay?"
'Hurrah...'
The golden eyes lit up, and the black leopard leaped out lightly, quickly blending into the night.
Knowing that these children were not spies, Ran Qingxuan no longer hid his intentions and waved his sleeves in front of the team of a hundred people.
The appearance of one hundred medium-sized military drones directly refreshed their perception of Ran Qingxuan.
At this moment, everyone felt that Ran Qingxuan was a fairy from heaven who came to the mortal world to save them...
Chang Hu did not expect that Ran Qingxuan would perform the "magic" directly in front of them. After being stunned for a moment, he met Gu Yanchen's somewhat complicated eyes.
He was not stupid and understood that Ran Qingxuan chose to believe these people because of what he had just said.
"If any of you dare to reveal even a word of what we have seen in the past two days, you will be doing something unworthy of your parents. Do you understand?"
"yes!"
The soldiers straightened their backs and answered in unison almost at the same time.
Ran Qingxuan smiled and shook his head, but he didn't think Chang Hu's words were too harsh.
It’s only a few months away, even bullets have to fly for a while!
"What you see now is a flying machine that can be controlled by the remote control in my hand and fly into the sky."
"Flying...aircraft..."
Ran Qingxuan looked into the darkness in the distance, as if he had already seen the surging enemy army.
She instructed Gu Yanchen to open the box, take out the black display screen and turn it on. Modern military monitoring systems only need to be connected to Bluetooth to be used, but the distance cannot be too far.
"Everyone, make sure you watch my movements carefully!"
"yes..."
Ran Qingxuan explained each step while operating, and hundreds of soldiers watched very carefully.
When the drone quickly took off into the air, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Chang Hu, Zhao Xian and others saw a picture appear on the screen. It was Huluguan in night vision mode!
"This..." Zhao Xian's eyes widened in disbelief, and Zhao Tiezhu wished he could put his head close to the screen.
"Is this... clairvoyance?"
"Almost." Ran Qingxuan adjusted the screen without moving his eyes away.
"Through these, we can not only keep track of the enemy's movements at any time, but also..."
As Ran Qingxuan spoke, her expression suddenly froze, and then a large black box appeared in front of her.
After entering the password, six neatly stacked aerial bombs appeared before his eyes.
"What is this..."
Just as Zhao Tiezhu was about to reach out his hand, Ran Qingxuan's face suddenly changed.
Gu Yanchen knew what was in the arsenal in her space, so he hurriedly grabbed Zhao Tiezhu's hand.
"Deputy General Zhao, if we don't touch this thing properly, we will be gone in an instant..."
"Ah?" Zhao Tiezhu quickly withdrew his hand and looked at Chang Hu angrily.
"It's my fault, don't blame me, General!"
Ran Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief and explained the principle of the aerial bomb to everyone.
After hearing this, Chang Hu suddenly coughed heavily: "Everyone."
He looked around at the generals present and said solemnly: "If you leak even a single word of what you saw and heard tonight..."
The large, iron-like hand pressed on the hilt of the knife, and the unfinished words were more frightening than any threat.
Everyone was so excited that they all clasped their fists and said, "We swear to keep this secret till our death!"
Ran Qingxuan asked someone to secure the drone, and then carefully installed the aerial bomb.
But since it was her first time operating, she didn't dare to hand it over to those curious soldiers. After all, they were all novices. What if...
"Each of you should take control of a drone and try to fly it a few times before installing the explosives."
When the soldiers heard that they could try it out, they became instantly excited.
Taking advantage of their familiar gap, Ran Qingxuan took out a few strange metal cylinders from the space and stuck them on the side of the drone.
"Sister-in-law, what is the use of this thing?"
"This is a sonic device that makes strange, harsh noises."
After handing out the earplugs, Ran Qingxuan taught them to make sure to wear them.
"Everyone is curious, so let's try the effect first, so that you can have some idea!" He motioned for everyone to put on their earplugs quickly.
