Huwei Gorge.
The exit of the canyon is jammed with large cars.
The carts were connected from end to end, three roads in front and back, separated from each other, and a defensive formation was set up outside the valley mouth.
In the canyon, a wall of more than one person high is built with clods of earth and stones. There was only a gap left in the room, which was only for one person and one horse to pass through. After that, there were more than 200 soldiers, gathered together in groups of three or five, either roasting the bonfire or hiding in a sheltered place to rest, but with swords and guns in hand, obviously not daring to slack off.
Halfway up the dirt hills on both sides of the canyon, there are more soil pits. Many soldiers curled up in it, the sound of sleeping snoring intermittently in the cold wind.
The brothers who broke the camp marched day after day, and they were already exhausted, since the war ahead had nothing to do with them, and there was no hope for military achievements, so they simply didn't think about it anymore, so take the opportunity to sleep!
Behind the dirt mountain on the west side of the canyon, there are also huddled figures.
Blameless was half-reclining and half-leaning in the dirt pit, the whole person was buried in his battle robe, drooping his eyelids, and he looked drowsy.
Not far from the side, Qi Sanren closed his eyes and sat quietly. As an offering to the camp, there is no need to deliberate. He was covered with a layer of invisible mana, which was completely invulnerable to wind and cold.
On the hillsides on the left and right are Bao Feng, Daoqi and their respective soldiers, dozens of people squeezing in the leeward or under the mattress to keep each other warm and keep out the cold.
At this time, the cold night is gradually gone, and the sky is about to dawn.
Bao Feng lifted the mattress on his body, a puff of dust squinted in the wind, he pounced a few times and got up, and went down the hill to the top of the mountain, after the urine war, relieved the internal urgency, turned back, and shouted loudly: "Sword flag, let the brothers change ......"
Changing the guard is changing the guard, and seven or eight hundred soldiers take turns guarding the mountain. Otherwise, no one can stand freezing in the cold wind like this. And he and several brothers continued to guard the mountain with Wu Ji and Qi Sanren, so as not to be unable to deal with accidents.
Daoqi answered, and kicked at a pile of lying figures in front of him.
Dozens of soldiers got up one after another and slipped down the hill to return to the tent, and a moment later, a bonfire was lit at the bottom of the mountain, and then dozens of soldiers climbed up with swords and guns rubbing their sleepy eyes. At the same time, the dirt hill on the east side of the canyon is also shaking. Ma Zhantie and Lu San were on duty opposite, also urging the brothers to change their guards.
Bao Feng sat down "plopped", hurriedly pulled up the mattress and covered his body, his face and beard were covered with a layer of dust, like a native man, and he still shivered: "It's already spring, and the snow is melting, and it's still so cold." , freeze to death!"
The sword flag squeezed over, and a cold mist sprayed in his mouth: "Yesterday, His Royal Highness Shaodian and His Royal Highness Ji Lu joined forces, and presumably they should capture Shinan City today." After this battle, it's better to go home and guard the comfort of your mother-in-law and children, and it's nothing ......to be poor and poor."
Bao Feng said with deep feelings: "If the crockpot does not break from the wellhead, the soldiers will inevitably die in battle." After more than ten years of fighting like this, the brothers are also tired, although they also want to make contributions, but it is difficult to find wealth and wealth!"
Qi Sanren suddenly opened his eyes and said leisurely: "Wealth is destined by fate, and the high heart will inevitably be misguided. ”
This is unfathomable, at least not for the average person!
The brothers didn't want to disturb Qi Sanren, so they hurriedly stood up and asked for advice.
But Lao Dao had no intention of saying anything, so he stood up on the spot and turned around and walked to the top of the mountain. It seems that the light is imminent, just waiting for him to ascend to meet him.
Wu Yi was still shrunk in his cloak, and his eyelids did not lift: "Hmph! The old way pretends to be mysterious, don't pay attention to ......" and he comforted him, suddenly opened his eyes, and then shook his robe and stood up, grabbed the black sword with his hand, and raised his feet to the top of the mountain.
Bao Feng and Daoqi didn't know why, so they hurriedly opened the mattress and followed.
On the top of the mountain, the cold wind blows. A glimmer of morning light loomed, but the sky was still dim and hazy. The snow on the mountains and hills near and far was pale in the morning, like scars lying across the heavens and the earth. Or also sad and desolate, but spring is always after the wind and rain.
"Old Dao, you say it again. ”
Wu Ji walked to Qi Sanren's side, and had no time to care, only threw his divine sense into the distance, and found nothing but desolation for thirty miles.
Qi Sanren stroked his beard and wrote lightly: "Although the cultivation of this path is not as good as in the past, it is not difficult to see a hundred miles away. ”
Bao Feng and Daoqi appeared on the top of the mountain, rubbing their hands together and asking curiously: "Mr. Qi, Gongzi, what happened?"
Blameless plunged the black sword into the soil, then wrapped his robe tightly, crossed his arms, supported his chin, and frowned slightly. He had just heard Qi Sanren's voice and was quite surprised. And in this situation, the other party will never talk nonsense.
"Fifty miles to the north, tens of thousands of soldiers are coming this way. A hundred miles to the east, 100,000 men were approaching the Shinan Valley in several ways. In the city of Shinan, Ji Lu's 200,000 troops are still fighting in the streets and it is difficult to get out, and Ji Shaodian has attacked the city all night so far, the victory or defeat has not been decided......"
Before Qi Sanren's words fell, Bao Feng and Dao Qi exclaimed at the same time.
Among them, Bao Feng's face changed greatly, and he said in shock: "Shizhou State first lured the enemy deep with a lonely city, and then sent strong troops to outflank it in a roundabout way, just to attack back and forth, and finally annihilate my bear army." The battle is at stake......"
Daoqi also gasped, and said in disbelief: "I ran for a long time, I should have been unprepared to attack the enemy, but now I am throwing myself into the net, how could Shizhou know in advance?"
The two brothers were veterans, and marching and fighting were the best things to do with their families, and now that the tide of battle had changed slightly, they had already sensed the danger.
Qi Sanren snorted at the two of them, and said, "A few months ago, the rumors of Wang Tingxing's troops were already full of storms, and Sizhou is an enemy country, how can you not pay attention to your opponent's every move. And there are bears who have long lost their sense of proportion for the struggle for the throne. If the machine is not secret, it will be harmful, and the reason is simple!"
The brothers did not dare to argue with Lao Dao, and looked at each other.
However, after a while, Bao Feng was shocked again: "The tens of thousands of enemy soldiers in the north are obviously coming to break the camp, as long as they block the Huwei Gorge, they can surround my bear army." Childe ......" He took two steps forward, and then said: "How to deal with the broken camp, please make a decision!"
Daoqi stomped his feet and looked anxious: "I only have seven or eight hundred people in the camp, how can I stop tens of thousands of enemy soldiers." For the sake of today, it is important to retreat!"
Bao Feng's eyes widened, and he said: "The military order is ahead, and those who violate it will die!"
Daoqi refused to show weakness, and shouted loudly: "Violating military orders is death, staying is also death, since this defeat is decided, why not take advantage of the enemy's soldiers to take a step first?" He couldn't help but reach out and grab Baofeng, his tired and haggard face covered with dust and cracks showed a sincere look: "Big brother, brothers have families and children, if you and I die, who will take care of orphans and widows?"
Bao Feng shook his arm violently, and was about to scold, but he gritted his teeth and sighed heavily.
I wanted to earn some military merits to benefit my family, but I didn't expect the situation to change abruptly. Even if you escape your life temporarily, you will inevitably die when you return home, and maybe you will even have to sit down and hurt your clansmen, but I am afraid that it will be too late to regret it!
The two old brothers argued, but the main general who broke the camp always stood silently in the wind.
After Qi Sanren revealed the military situation, he stood by and watched, seeing that the two old brothers were arguing, and the chief general who broke the camp seemed to have no idea, he couldn't help but shake his head and said loudly: "Where to go, it's a matter of life and death." The opportunity is fleeting, and General Gongsun can't hesitate!"
Although he called himself a general, there was no ridicule in his words, but his face was solemn, and there was a faint helplessness in the depths of his eyes.
Wu Yi was still looking into the distance, the corners of his mouth and his thin cheeks were like knife carvings. After a while, he slowly turned around, his eyes swept over the three people in front of him, and he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, before he said in a low voice: "Brother Baofeng, order the brothers to block the canyon and hold it on the spot." ”
Bao Feng and Daoqi were both stunned, and then sighed as relieved, and each of them didn't say anything, shook their fists and turned to leave.
Qi Sanren walked in front of him and said in surprise: "Boy, there are more than 30,000 enemy soldiers in the Shizhou Kingdom, and all of them are iron horses and fast horses, and it won't take two hours to reach here, how can your little broken camp resist? Eight hundred lives, it's not child's ......play."
Wu Yi raised his head, and his eyebrows twitched slightly: "Don't be long-winded, I understand the reason!"
He squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, turned to the north and raised his right hand: "If Ji Lu and Ji Shaodian fall into the city and can't extricate themselves, there is only one end for breaking the camp and holding on to the spot, death!" There was a chill in his words, and then he said: "And once all the major roads in Shinan Valley are breached, the 300,000 army with bears will also be wiped out!"
Qi Sanren looked at the blameless back, and muttered: "You want to turn the tide with heroic deeds?" He shook his head slightly, and said seriously: "Hmph, don't say that you don't have that ability, even if you have the heart to be loyal to the royal court, you are just making wedding dresses for others." What's more, Ji Lu and Ji Shaodian don't want to let you go, why do you bother to bury the broken camp with your own hands without distinguishing between right and wrong! Let's go, let's go, leave this mundane strife, there is still a broader world waiting for you!"
His words are earnest, reasonable, and full of temptation, which makes people unable to argue and be moved!
But as I said, everyone understands the truth. And when it comes to the end, the choice is difficult. Especially when facing life and death, it is even more difficult to make a decision and be worthy of your heart!
Wuyi took a breath and turned around: "Tell me what will happen to the crime of breaking the camp and escaping from the battle?" He asked rhetorically, waved his hand and said: "I can go with you, where should these old brothers go? And as the main general, how can he abandon the soldiers and escape alone?"
At this point, his voice became louder: "I don't know right and wrong, and I don't know the gold of human life! Otherwise, it would not be as simple as 800 people dying, but 300,000 ......."
Qi Sanren took half a step back, his eyes narrowed and his expression looked serious. The young man in front of him seemed to suddenly become unfamiliar.
But Wu Blame was pacing in place, almost roaring: "I want to kill Ji Lu, he is dead! And I can't bury 300,000 innocent lives for my own selfishness! I can't lose my humanity, shame my conscience, and tarnish my father's reputation!" He paused suddenly, and raised his eyebrows slantedly: "If you dare to reverse black and white for me again, you will take your immortal path as far as you can!" After that, he grabbed the black sword and walked away.
Qi Sanren was stunned, stretched out his hand to point, very angry, but not for a while, he flicked the sleeves of his robe lightly, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
The gentlemanly and polite teacher is gone, and now there is only a lawless and arrogant son. No, he's a general......
