Chapter 260: The Veteran's Faith
"Did you hear what he just said?" Ji Yan steadied himself in embarrassment, and when he turned his head to ask the deputy general beside him, he almost flashed his neck.
The deputy general of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion shook his head for a long time, "The last general, the last general didn't hear clearly!" ”
Now that the official road is windy, he must have heard the difference.
The lieutenant was anxious, and shouted from afar: "If the general doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate!" We are all women, how can there be a woman in the world? Besides, the Holy Lord has already made the governor the queen, and she has already followed the Holy Driver into the city! The boss is gone, and we are worried about the general, so we unloaded our armor and left the camp, wanting to go into the city to see what happened to the general. In the future, we will be killed and punished, and we will be at the disposal of the general! ”
Ji Yan didn't listen to the second half of the sentence, only grinned, and let the mountain wind pour it into his mouth, so cold that his teeth hurt. In the spring of March, the wind blows the robe, and it is like a wind blowing on the body, which reminds people of the heavy snow on the winter night of that year, and the Yuchun Building ......
"General? General Ji! Mo Hai was in a hurry to enter the city, and when he saw that Ji Yan was distracted, he had to call out loud.
"Huh?" Ji Yanzheng recalled the situation when he lost all his silver and stripped off only his obscene pants, and suddenly came back to his senses, and he planted the horse with a stumble!
The deputy general hurriedly dismounted and helped, Ji Yan got up and threw up his sleeves and ordered: "Explore!" Go explore! ”
The adjutant coughed with the dust on his sleeve, held his breath and clenched his fists, bowed his head and asked, "Dare to ask the general, where to explore?" ”
Ji Yan kicked the deputy general with one kick, and said angrily: "Of course, it's to probe that Tuesday ......."
As soon as he poked his finger at Shengjing City, he felt that something was wrong, the deputy general and the Xiao cavalry army all bowed their heads and pretended to be deaf and dumb, Ji Yan was silent for a moment, turned around with his forehead, pointed to the naval division camp, and reissued the military order, "Explore-Jiangbei Navy Division camp!" ”
The adjutant general obeyed the order, ordered more than 100 men and horses and went to the camp of the sailors.
Half an hour later, the people who went to the camp of the Navy Division rode back, their faces were solemn, and they knelt down and said: "Report to the general, the war drums of the Jiangbei Navy Division camp are beating, the military division Han Qichu points troops on the battlefield, and the soldiers in the battalion shout to swear allegiance to the queen!" Even...... To be opposed! ”
The reverse word sounds funny, but no one thinks it's funny, and the soldiers in Jiangbei have long only recognized the Yuan family, not the royal family.
Ji Yan's face sank and asked, "Have you ever explored in detail?" Is there a probing error? ”
"General Yu, the last general asked the scouts outside the four camps of the Navy Division's camp, and they all returned like this, presumably there must be no mistake!"
Ji Yan didn't say anything for a long time after hearing this, and the deputy general saw that his face was gloomy, hesitated again and again, and said in his ear: "General, looking at the movements in the camp of the Navy, what the old departments of the Northwest Army said didn't seem to be false, but the last general had to say that Han Qichu used troops strangely, he should have known that there were spies outside the camp, if he wanted to rebel, shouldn't he rebel quietly?" Why do you want to beat the drums and make such a noise? Aren't you afraid that the momentum will come out, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Northwest Army will be approaching before and after, and the water division will be in trouble? I'm afraid there is fraud in this matter! Judging from the last general, these old units of the Northwest Army are still suspicious and should not be taken lightly. ”
"Reasonable, but just common sense. Han Qichu's use of soldiers is strange, this person cannot be judged according to common sense. ”
"What does the general mean?"
"Could it be that Han Qichu didn't know that there were spies on all sides of the Navy Division's camp, and he wouldn't know the consequences of beating the drum and ordering troops? I am afraid that what you expected is in his calculations. ”
The deputy general was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Ji Yan looking south, his eyes were bright, and he completely lost his arrogance on weekdays.
"No matter whether that kid is male or female, Jiangbei Sailor is loyal to her. Do you think, if these old departments in the northwest were leaving, Han Qichu would not have expected them to defect to the old commander? How many new warriors will he add to the Yuan family at this time? Han Qichu must have expected that we would intercept them here, and he could also expect that I would send scouts to the Navy Division to inquire about the military situation, if I suspect that the departure of the old northwest is his strategy, then I will definitely not let them go through the official road, the Yuan family has less help, and the saint has a better chance of winning. Ji Yan sneered, "What a borrowed knife to kill!" I almost fell for the traitor's trick again! ”
The adjutant general pondered for a moment and surrendered, "The general is thoughtful, and the general is too late!" ”
Ji Yan suddenly smiled, as if the deluge in his eyes just now was the illusion of the Xiao cavalry, "That traitorous and sour Confucian thought that he would see through General Ben's mind after winning a few times, but I don't know how many times I fought with him, can't General Ben see through him?" ”
The adjutant general was helpless, and even claimed that it was, "That general intends to ...... Let them go to Shengjing City? ”
"Let them go to Shengjing City, they have to enter the city gate!"
"That ......"
"General Ben will go back with them! At this time, martial law is under law in the city, and the letter in the Zhenguo Mansion can't be transmitted, I'm really worried about Brother Yuan, I don't know what the situation is in the city, just go back and take a look. These old departments are taken together, if you really want to find the old handsome, then you will hand it over to Brother Yuan for arrangement, if you have bad intentions, you can also kill him when you return to the city! Ji Yan said, turned over his horse, and said to Mo Hai and the others, "Even if you go back, you can't open the city gate, so General Ben will give you a ride, go!" ”
Mo Hai and the others were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked them.
The Xiao cavalry army received the blade when he heard the order, Mo Hai and the others galloped close, Ji Yan looked at the direction of the sailor's camp, his face was solemn, and he issued two orders in a row!
"Hurry up and 100 people go to the Northwest Army garrison camp to inform the military situation, and strictly prevent the division from making trouble!"
"Order the leopard cavalry battalion to press the water division battalion, you don't have to break into the camp, you just need to watch everyone in the camp!"
The deputy general took the order, Ji Yanyang whipped the horse, the whip sounded like thunder, and shouted: "Go!" ”
*
The sun has gone west, the sky is low and the clouds are heavy, Ji Yan and his party of thousands of horses stopped outside the flying bridge outside the city, looking at the imperial city from afar across the bridge, seeing that the city gate is tightly closed.
"The people on the towers! Outside the city is the little grandfather of the Zhenguo Mansion and the general of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion! Open the gates! The guards shouted.
The bows and crossbows on the city tower were full, and the swords, guns, swords, and halberds came together like ice, and a young general on the city tower supported the wall to visit, and saw that the person who led the troops at the end of the flying bridge was indeed Ji Yan, but there seemed to be more than ten people in the army wearing regular clothes, not Xiao cavalry.
"Dare to ask General Ji, who are those?" The young general pointed at Mo Hai and the others and asked.
"The old department of the Northwest Army in the Jiangbei Navy Division came to defect to the old commander." Ji Yan knew that the young general on the upper floor of the city must hesitate when he heard this, so he said, "You just open the city gate!" If something happens, I have my own general to take care of! ”
"This ......" The young general still felt that it was inappropriate, but when he heard Ji Yan's impatient tone, he was afraid of offending him, so he didn't know what to do for a while, and was about to go to tell the captain when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the city.
The sound of horses' hooves is still in the distance, but there is a tendency to step through the mountains and rivers, the young general turned around and looked into the distance, just turned around and leaned back! A short arrow burst out of his throat, and the blood splattered on the city wall, and the fishy smell dispersed into the wind, but the guards on the city tower full of bows and crossbows were startled, and hurriedly turned to the city with their bows, and the city tower was suddenly in chaos.
Ji Yan and the others were far away from the flying bridge, and they couldn't see the blood splashed on the city wall, but they saw the fallen people and heard the sound of killing coming from behind the heavy tungsten iron city gate.
The guard said: "General, Long Wuwei is Xiangye's people, and those who dare to kill Long Wuwei should be the saints!" ”
Ji Yan said in a deep voice: "How could the people of the Holy Heaven kill the city gate? ”
"Whatever the fuck! General Ji, let the guards open the city gate and rush in, maybe they can solve the danger of the city gate! Mo Hai urgently persuaded Ji Yan.
Ji Yan groaned for a while and looked at the guards, who understood, galloped across the flying bridge to the city gate, raised his head and shouted: "Open the city gate quickly!" More than 1,000 horsemen outside the city can help in the battle! Open the gates! ”
The shouts of the guards were gradually drowned out by the sound of fighting and killing behind the city gates, and the sound of arrows shooting on the city walls was like flowing water, and there was chaos in the city, and no one cared about the outside of the city. The guards were so anxious that they rode their horses and galloped back and forth at the city gate, their voices were hoarse, and they were about to scold the captain through the city gate, when they suddenly heard the sound of iron cables behind the city gate!
The guards were overjoyed, turned around and said to the other end of the flying bridge: "General, the city gate is open......"
Before the words fell, the city gate was opened, a human head flew out, the guards subconsciously bowed their heads, and the sword light was like a hook moon, and suddenly slashed!
Warm blood poured up and poured on the heads of the captains who flew past the belly of their horses, and they fell to the ground, crushed into mud by the iron hooves that galloped by. The guard's horse neighed out and rampaged like a turbulent current in the iron horsemen that galloped behind him, carrying on its back a headless corpse that was still bleeding from its hollow cavities, but its hands clutching the reins.
The head of the personal guard flew over the flying bridge and rolled beside Ji Yan's war horse, and the Xiao cavalry gasped, but when they saw the black-robed wolf boots of the iron cavalry galloping out of the city gate, holding a scimitar, it was not the saint's men and horses, but the royal army of Emperor Liao!
"Grandma, a bear! Hu Ren Cub! Mo Hai and the others scolded angrily, drew the knife of the cavalry beside him, and galloped onto the flying bridge, taking the lead to meet the enemy!
The old feud was very red when they met, and it was only a matter of time before the blood was splashed on the flying bridge.
The Xiao cavalry army looked stunned and dazed, not knowing what happened in the city, and actually caused the Liao Emperor, who had come to discuss peace with him, to suddenly lead the royal army out of the imperial city.
"Someone who dares to kill General Ben!" Ji Yan's face was like a cold winter, his eyes were cold, and the sound of the sword coming out of the sheath was like the wind and pointed straight at the flying bridge, "It doesn't matter who he is, slaughter me!" ”
Ji Yan pinched the horse's belly fiercely, and the war horse rushed onto the flying bridge like an arrow from the string, and the cavalry had to follow when they saw it.
However, just when the Xiao cavalry was about to move, he suddenly saw Ji Yan stiff on horseback!
Ji Yan is halfway up the slope of the flying bridge, there is no Liao army in front of him, there are no personal soldiers in the back, and he has not yet met with the sword soldiers, so he should never freeze suddenly. But he still carried his sword, and still put on a horseback posture, which looked not like he had been hit by a hidden arrow, but as if he had ...... Someone's pointed?!
The cavalry was startled, and suddenly felt that there was a wind passing by, and the wind was like a beautiful woman brushing her neck with green silk, and it was clear and soft like a spring water, but it made the thousands of troops dare to be frightened! Xiao cavalry looked up at the top of their heads, and saw a green shadow swept on the flying bridge, the sword light and snow on the flying bridge were cold, and the blood was like a flower, and the green shadow stepped on the blood like a flower, and took Ji Yan's bento back in the air, and the new leaves on both sides of the official road were green, and the man brought Ji Yan into the forest in the blink of an eye, coming and going like smoke and shadows, and he didn't even see his face clearly, leaving only the lone horse on the bridge, the clouds, the thousands of troops were silent, and the sound of killing was loud......
"Thorn, assassin!" When the generals in the cavalry army reacted, they hurriedly led the army to turn around, capture the assassin, and rescue Ji Yan.
On the flying bridge, Mo Hai and other more than ten people were surrounded in the army of the Great Liao King, Long Wuwei did not come out, the Xiao cavalry left, more than a dozen people fought alone in thousands of troops, outnumbered, and some people died on the bridge! Mo Hai laughed loudly, his blood-covered face was hideous and terrifying, but there was a bit of tragedy and pride, and he raised his knife and said, "Brothers, kill!" It doesn't matter if the fuck can go back to the Northwest Army, we are all sons of the Northwest! The sons of the northwest were born to kill Hu people, kill a few more, and you won't lose by dying! ”
The rest of the people shouted loudly, raised their knives to fight, but it was difficult to reach the thousands of troops alone, a team of Wang Jun at the end of the flying bridge rode horses and raised arrows to run, short arrows shot like rain, and the old department of the Northwest Army at a high place suddenly fell off the war horse with an arrow, and was trampled by iron hooves, and blood splashed on the bridge pillars!
At this time, a horse suddenly galloped out of the city, wearing a green robe and silver armor, wearing the robe of the Jiangbei Naval Division!
Mo Hai was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and when he turned his head to look at the bloody battle, he actually recognized the person who came - the chief of the guard of the Governor of the Navy, Yue Ci!
How could he leave the city at this time?
Mo Hai shook his mind when he was suspicious, and he couldn't guard against a knife next to him, when he dodged, a dark arrow shot from the opposite side, and he was suddenly hit by an arrow in the abdomen, and when he fell off the horse, he endured the stinging pain and avoided behind a horse corpse, he thought that the knife was coming, but he only heard the sound of horses' hooves galloping across the bridge, and the army of the Great Liao King was not in love with war, and was bent on leaving! Mo Hai gritted his teeth and poked his head out from behind the horse's corpse, and saw a black horse galloping by, the person on the horse was in an ink robe and eagle boots, and the eagle ring on his ear flashed at the height of the flying bridge, red as a bloodstone in the sun.
Emperor Liao, Hu Yanhao!
But it wasn't Hu Yanhao alone, there was still a person tied behind him, even if it was just a side face, Mo Hai still recognized the person.
Governor?!
Mo Hai was startled, and he didn't have time to think about what was happening in the city, so he took the knife out from behind the horse's corpse and threw the knife at Hu Yanhao's war horse!
The knife splashed in the middle of the way, and flew out with a bang, Wang Jun, who was protecting Hu Yanhao's side, condescendingly sent the scimitar, and when the blood gushed out, it splashed half a person high on the top of the flying bridge, and the blood flowers fell like rain, Mo Hai raised his head, and the blood flowers slapped on his face, and the face that was covered with Hu Ren's blood was finally stained with his own blood.
Mo Hai grinned, this is what he wants, sprinkled his blood on the battlefield, and swore not to return it...... This is the year when the Northwest Army was first established, the general said on the battlefield, these words are the belief of the Northwest Erlang who was bullied by Hu Lu, defending the family and defending the country and dying on the battlefield, from that day on, it is the will of this life.
It's just that I didn't expect that when I died, I was not in the desert outside the gate, but outside the gate of the imperial city in the hinterland of my home country.
It's just that I didn't expect that today I went to abandon the water division for the general, but I still gave my life to the woman who disguised herself as a man and joined the army.
At that moment, he didn't even think much about it, and probably wanted to go back to the northwest again, but he still felt sorry for the governor......
It's okay, at least you can go openly and well, but you can't live with Lao Lu, and you can't go back to your hometown to take care of his wife......
The northwest veteran leaned on the bridge pillar, his vision gradually blurred, and he vaguely saw a man riding a horse galloping by, chasing the Liao army. Mo Hai smiled with relief, the man galloped by, and he slowly fell, accompanied by the horse's corpse.
*
On the west side of the official road to the forest, Wei Zhuozhi put Ji Yan in the clearing, there were fifty or sixty teenagers gathered in the clearing, his eyebrows and eyes were also covered with blood, the military robe was cut by the dead branches in the forest, the knife wound was on the body, and the blood oozing wet the azure robe, like ink.
A hundred elite soldiers came out of the barracks and killed all the way, but only half of them were left outside the city, and the hour was still a step too late. When they arrived, the city gate had been opened, and there were people fighting on the bridge, because they couldn't see the battle situation clearly from a distance, they saw Ji Yan on the bridge, and Wei Zhuozhi took people captive.
"Wei Gongzi, what's the situation on the bridge? Is it the Holy Master and the Cavalry that did it? A teenager asked.
"Liao Army!" Wei Zhuozhi was serious and authentic, and his tone was not unexpected, "Emperor Liao and Yuan Qian secretly colluded, the purpose of this trip was not pure, and the city was in chaos, so it was not strange for him to take advantage of the chaos to get out of the city." The city gate has been opened, but Long Wuwei has not been in battle for a long time, and at this time he must avoid the battle and want to defend the city gate, so the city gate may have been closed at this time. We have Little Master Ji in hand, and we don't care about the Liao army, let's talk about it in the city! ”
Wei Zhuozhi glanced at the official road outside the forest, and when he spoke, he could already hear the sound of horses' hooves approaching, and the cavalry was about to arrive.
Everyone immediately took Ji Yan and retreated, a few elite soldiers of the sailors led the footprints to the depths of the forest, and the rest of the people went in the direction of Shengjing City, and some people covered up their traces as they went, no one made a sound along the way, and no one cared about Ji Yan's stinky face that was as black as the bottom of a pot.
When they arrived at the edge of the forest, the Da Liao Wang Jun had just gotten off the flying bridge, and everyone was short to avoid behind the dry grass, and saw that the Wang Jun was on the side, and Hu Yanhao rode his horse in the middle, but he just went west on the official road. The sun has slanted to the west, and the horse's hooves have stepped on the yellow dust, covering the sky and the sun.
Wuya Aji squatted at the forefront, staring at the Liao army galloping by, and suddenly froze!
Wei Zhuozhi hid behind a tree, his eyes fixed on the back of Hu Yanhao's horse in the Liao army, and his gaze suddenly froze!
"Captain, what's wrong?" A teenager noticed that the two of them looked wrong, and asked vigilantly.
Wuya Aji snorted, without explanation, only threw Ji Yan to Wei Zhuozhi, and when he spoke, he was already running away in the direction of the official road in the forest, "It seems that you don't need to enter the city!" This kid is for you! Report to the Army! ”
------Off topic------
Tomorrow the cold wave is coming, and it is minus 17 degrees here, so say hello to my friends.
I heard that the meat section of the supermarket is empty today, and many people are not planning to go out in the next few days.
