Chapter 775: Oath
The sky was gray, the wind was roaring at the top of the mountain, and the goose-feather snow was flying everywhere.
Xie Xinghua eventually died of excessive blood loss, and the injury to his leg was too serious, otherwise his body would not be enough to be injured by the wind and cold.
The puddle of blood on the ground where he was sitting had frozen, and Rao Xinghua was still talking and laughing with the brothers last night.
The battle had begun, and the Rakshasas had relaunched their attack from all sides of the cliff, but there were only six capable fighters left on the top of the cliff, all of whom were wounded.
"Master Xie is eternal! Gu then arrived! Gu Jia's old eyes were cloudy and wiped casually, and he picked up a scimitar and walked to the battlefield.
For more than an hour, the soldiers of the border army, whose physical strength had been exhausted, fell one after another, and the front could no longer hold on.
"Master Gu, let's go first!" Daniel Zhang roared with all his strength, and threw himself with open arms towards the two Rakshasa people who had just climbed up, and fell to the bottom of the cliff together in the latter's frightened eyes.
Gu Jia gritted his teeth in his eyes and did not make a sound, and stabbed the scimitar in his hand into the abdomen of the Rakshasa man with all his strength, and the little flag official Huang Dali was stabbed in the waist in order to cover Gu Jia.
"Vigorously-" Seeing that another person was seriously injured, Gu Jia couldn't hold back any longer.
"Hahaha! Dust to dust, dust to dust, I have gone! Huang Dali knew that it was difficult to continue, and he spat blood and laughed loudly, and followed in Daniel Zhang's footsteps.
Seeing that the young soldiers were looking at death as home, Gu Jia's heart was like a knife.
"Isaac, it's the old man who has caused you to be tired, the old man shouldn't, shouldn't! The old man goes, too! Gu Jia turned his head and said to Isaac that he shouldn't have said a few words, and then wanted to jump off the cliff.
"Master Gu can't! Look to the east! After Chen Yishan desperately cut down a Rakshasa man, he stopped Gu Jia and pointed to the foot of the mountain to the east.
But seeing that there was another cavalry rushing to the east of the camp of the Rakshasa country, these soldiers were brightly armored, which was different from the Rakshasa soldiers at the foot of the mountain.
"It's our Ming army!" Guo Sheng's eyes were the best, and he could see at a glance that it was the standard military uniform of the Ming Dynasty.
"The army of the Ming Dynasty has come to our rescue!" Chen Yishan clenched the war knife in his hand excitedly.
After a few moments, the Rakshasas at the bottom of the cliff retreated, and the foot of the mountain became a new battlefield.
The explosion roared, but it was obvious that the army of the Rakshasa Kingdom was retreating, and no one could have imagined that such a wave of Ming army would suddenly appear on the land of the Rakshasa Country.
Colonel Mel turned grim and got off his horse at Helagra, knowing that his military career was probably coming to an end.
At the same time, the face of the general Nigmat was also ugly, there were at least three or four thousand soldiers in the Rakshasa country, and the Ming envoy was only twenty or so people.
Listening to the little flag officer, there were five or six Father Europa who had no combat effectiveness in between, how they could withstand so many enemies.
Before leaving the city, Luo Shizhong repeatedly told him that he must bring the people of the mission back safely, even if he started a war with the Rakshasa people, if Gu Jia of the mission died in battle, how could he explain to the governor?
Dagang, the official of the border army behind Nigmaiti, also gritted his teeth, he had been sleepless these days, and his heart was full of worries about the group of brothers who were still struggling in a foreign country.
Luo Shizhong, the new governor of Xinjiang Province, did not dare to slack off after getting the news, but the Ming Dynasty had already ceased war with the Rakshasa country, and if he led the army into the Rakshasa country, it would be tantamount to a new war between the two countries, without an edict from the imperial court.
Who bears the responsibility?
Fang Dagang was eager to save people, and bluntly said that the Rakshasa country slaughtered my Ming people for no reason, and the two countries have already started a war.
But what Fang Dagang said doesn't count, the army is a sharp weapon of the state, and it is a crime to act without an order, regardless of the merit.
Luo Shizhong was silent for a while, but he still gave the order to send troops against public opinion, who gave the official position on the head, he knew best in his heart, and he also knew who Gu Jia was.
Although it is not clear what the purpose of this mission was to Europa, it must have been a matter of urgency.
In the end, Luo Shizhong ordered his 3,000 cavalry, and at the same time quickly sent a letter to Liu Hongjian in the capital.
Nigmaiti went out of the city with three thousand cavalry, but a new problem came immediately, and there was no communication equipment at this time, the world was vast, where to find Gu Jia's team.
In order to hide their whereabouts, the 3,000 cavalry had no choice but to go out day and night, and ran all the way to the west for four or five days without finding it.
It wasn't until yesterday that the horseshoe prints of the Rakshasa army were found in the snow that Nigmat followed the footprints to Mount Kilbu.
"Report to the general, Lord Gu is still alive!" A group of Ming soldiers trotted over from the top of the hill, led by the flag officer.
When Fang Dagang heard this, he immediately got off his horse and ran towards the cliff.
The few remaining people on the cliff were carried down, and after the soldiers of the Rakshasa Kingdom retreated, the tight strings of Gu Jia and others on the top of the cliff finally loosened, and Gu Jia fell to the ground.
"Mr. Wu, what about Lord Xie? What about Brother Lu? Why are there only a few of you? Fang Dagang coaxed his eyes and held the hand of Chief Flag Officer Wu Peng, and asked anxiously.
Wu Peng lay on the stretcher without making a sound, and two lines of clear tears slipped down his slightly closed eyelids.
"Dead, all dead...... Except for the two of us, only Chen Yishan is left among our eighteen brothers. Guo Sheng sighed, Chen Yishan's left arm was cut off and just sent to the back for treatment, and his life and death were uncertain.
"It's all me, if only I could hurry up, it's all my fault, Brother Lu-" Fang Dagang knelt on the ground and cried.
Gu Jia woke up, he looked at Wu Peng and Guo Sheng who were in pain next to the stretcher, and then looked at Fang Dagang, who was in tears, and said nothing.
If he hadn't insisted on bringing those heavy books with them, perhaps they would have been able to avoid the group of Rakshasa soldiers as quickly as possible, and they would not have ended up in such a miserable situation.
On the way to the west, eighteen descendants of dragons and tigers, and eighteen battle-hardened warriors, were lost in the vast snow......
"Gu Jia hereby swears that in his lifetime, he will avenge all the heroes and set foot on the rakshasa!"
The old and majestic voice echoed through the heavens and the earth, and Gu Jia leaned over and shouted at the sky.
"Wu Peng hereby swears to step on the rakshasa and avenge the brothers!" Wu Peng struggled to his knees and yelled at Mount Kirb.
Then there were Guo Sheng and Fang Dagang, and the soldiers of the Ming army all looked at the few people who had just lost their robes in silence, and no one understood the grief of losing their robes better than them.
Nigmat sighed, the person received it, but he fought with the Rakshasa Kingdom again.
The imperial court is now busy with the affairs of the Netherlands, and if there is another war here, the Ming Dynasty will suffer from the enemy, and I really don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.
Almost at the same time, after Liu Hongjian in the capital received an urgent secret letter from Xinjiang, he only said one sentence leisurely:
"If Luo Shizhong can't judge the situation, then the governor of Xinjiang doesn't have to be the governor."
