Chapter 548: Unfinished Love
In the dark, I couldn't see how many people came. But those huge, lethal kites are undoubtedly like a shot in the arm that has entered the blood of the tired soldiers of the Great Liang.
At the same time, it was like some terrible curse that shook the hearts of the enemy.
Who is this? What weapons were brought?
Even Ji Longfeng was a little stunned for a while.
But before he could think clearly, the second round of attacks came again.
A simple huge trebuchet, following the direction of the wind, hits bags of grain and grass like sandbags at the enemy camp without any distress.
When Gao Xiuru heard the horn over there, she had already ordered her soldiers to retreat and give up more territory to the reinforcements. And Ji Longfeng wanted to restrain the soldiers to maintain the formation, but it became so difficult.
Seeing the huge shadow coming, everyone instinctively scattered and fled, but the more they gathered, the more the huge sandbags with the breath of death chased them.
Gao Xiuru is not in vain, how can such a great opportunity be easily let go?
"Archer, release the arrow!"
Combined with the sandbag tactics, waves of overwhelming arrows rained down on the enemy.
By the time Ouyang Kang's grain and grass had run out, Ji Longfeng's side had already suffered heavy casualties, and the formation was in chaos.
Distressed? No. As long as the battle is won, the grain and grass will still be theirs.
Putting on the mask given by his daughter-in-law, Ouyang Kang gave an order and led the team into the battlefield.
In fact, there are only 4,000 people, and it is not too many people to put into the sea of tens of thousands of people on Jilong Peak. If the sky was still bright, if it wasn't for the fact that he had released so many kite sandbags before, with the strength of Ji Longfeng. It is completely possible to integrate the team and effectively fight against this new army with little experience.
The problem is that they have been fighting fatigue for several days, and today they have been fighting from morning to night, and the water and rice have not entered. Coupled with the fear of being hit by the kite sandbag, all the enemy troops did not dare to resist it.
And this is the reason why Ouyang Kang had to wait until it was dark before he was willing to move.
Gao Xiuru set up such a game, and he must want to hit Ji Longfeng hard. Such a large investment, if it does not have an effect, for the girder. It will also be a great drain.
He's going to be a surprise winner. It's not just a strange soldier, but also has strange ideas and strange methods, in short, it is impossible to prevent it. Haven't hit yet. Just kill half of his morale!
So his team of 4,000 people poured out. Even the logistics all came, divided into more than a dozen teams, cooperating with each other to cover. Led by the main general, that is, he himself, alternately acted as the vanguard, and plunged into the enemy camp like a sharp knife.
Hit the city of Changzhou, did not stay, quickly changed the rear team to the front team, and raided again. Like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, it is interspersed in a zigzag pattern in Ji Longfeng's camp.
When they encounter desperate resistance, they do not love to fight, as if they regard this place as a huge racecourse, only seeking the thrill of running.
opened and closed like this, completely not following the textbook style of play, and completely stunned Ji Longfeng. But Gao Xiuru understood it in only one round, and guessed which reinforcements came.
Therefore, she quickly gathered an experienced team to fight those places with relatively strong combat effectiveness, and Ouyang Kang's weak links that continued to collapse made it impossible for the enemy army to form effective support for the main force, and Gao Xiuru's advantage in small forces was instantly reflected, and the situation on the entire battlefield was soon out of Ji Longfeng's control.
"General, let's go." The pro-soldiers who had followed him for many years fought their way out of a bloody way and rushed to Ji Longfeng desperately.
The defeat is already doomed, and if you don't leave, there will only be the end of the total annihilation.
But how can Ji Longfeng be willing to do this? After decades of hard work, it was all destroyed, and if he wants to make a comeback, how many years will he have to wait?
"No, I'm not leaving! Even if I die, I'm going to wipe out that team! Ji Longfeng's eyes were red, and he drew his sword and stared at the masked enemy commander, and the monstrous hatred was poured out on him alone.
If this kid hadn't been born, how could he have been defeated?
Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in the back of his head, and it was his loyal subordinates who knocked him out in the back, and quickly exchanged his robes with him, and asked a team of people to take him to take advantage of the chaos to kill Izu, while he pretended to be Ji Longfeng and fought to the death.
This battle was fought from dark to late at night.
Wei Yinian said that if they could hold on until dawn, they would win, Changzhou City really held on, and the battle was really won.
It's just that the result of this win is too tired and too miserable.
So much so that those who lose will no longer cry, and those who win will not laugh.
Ouyang Kang came down from the battlefield, fell into a room and fell asleep, he thought he had slept for a long time, but in fact it was only a short hour.
When I woke up, I realized that I had forgotten to take off the mask on my face. self-deprecatingly lifted the mask to wash his face, but when he saw the person on the water with a pale face and an embarrassed description, he was even startled.
Fortunately, it's all over.
After this battle in the southwest, it can be said that there will be no more major soldiers in 20 years.
"General." It was Guan Yaozu who lifted the curtain and came in, but after one night, there seemed to be something more on him, Ouyang Kang didn't notice it for a while, but if Guan Tianxiao was here, he would definitely feel relieved.
Because of his son, he has the calmness and murderous spirit of a soldier who has experienced a bloody battle.
He grew up and was a truly qualified soldier.
"Ji Longfeng ran away, and the one who died was a stand-in."
Ouyang Kang wiped the handkerchief of his face, took it and wiped his hands, and said lightly, "It's okay, his main force is destroyed, even if he runs, it will be difficult to make any big waves in the future, just grab it slowly." What's going on on our end? ”
"At present, the Pingxi Army has a total of 324 brothers killed, and the wounded cannot be counted. General Wu and Xiao Cui both hung up the lottery and sent them to the military doctor. I arranged for half of the people to rest, and half of them helped the county lord of Changguo clean up the battlefield, and they suffered more casualties than us. ”
Ouyang Kang nodded, out of more than 4,000 people, only more than 300 died, even if you add the injured, at most one-tenth of the casualty rate is already very lucky.
The soldiers under Gao Xiuru who are really tough are all under Gao Xiuru, and the soldiers under him need to be sharpened to have that kind of strength.
Suddenly, my stomach growled twice. As if echoing, Guan Yaozu's stomach also rang. Ouyang Kang chuckled unconsciously, "I've been fighting all night, I'm really hungry." What about the buffalo, is he awake? When I wake up, let him get something to eat, and I also hide some pickles, don't you know? ”
Guan Yaozu didn't smile, his face was solemn, "Buffalo, I'm dead." ”
The smile on Ouyang Kang's face froze. Unconsciously clutching the handkerchief. Wipe the hands that have been wiped slowly.
After being silent for a long time, he whispered, "He said, if he wins this time." I went back and got the bounty. I can get a few decent dowries for my sister. ”
He let out a sigh of relief. He threw the handkerchief into the basin, "Put away the ashes of all our fallen brothers, he brought them out by me." Naturally, they had to be sent back. ”
Guan Yaozu responded, hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you go and see the county lord of Changguo, last night, it was the county horse who came out with the death squad." ”
What the? Ouyang Kang's face changed, if Wei Yinian had a good one, what would Mu Lan do?
When he hurried into the Changguo County Lord's Mansion in the city, he saw Gao Xiuru looking at him with a sad expression.
On the couch in the room, there was a person lying quietly, his pale face had just been scrubbed clean, revealing a face that was not beautiful.
A little boy who was less than two years old next to her shook her hand desperately, childish and anxious calling, "Mother, mother, get up quickly, don't sleep anymore." It was dawn and I got up. ”
And on the side of the bed where Gao Xiuru was sitting, Wei Yinian's face was also so white that he was not human, and there was still a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth.
He looked at Ouyang Kang apologetically, "Yes, I'm sorry...... Me, I didn't take care of her. But I really don't know what to do...... She rushed out with me last night......"
Ouyang Kang's mind buzzed, and his eyes darkened. He knew the cruelty of war, but he didn't expect to be so close to his relatives. Especially Mu Lan, she is still a woman, she should hide in the rear, a woman who is protected.
He turned his head, unable to bear to look at it again. But immediately, huge remorse overflowed from the bottom of my heart, "Blame me, blame me...... If I had come out a little earlier last night, Mulan, you ......"
This eldest sister was the first person who was really kind to him when he first entered Beijing. Although she later married Wei Yinian, he was also a little unhappy. However, he never imagined that she would leave them so young and so early.
"No......" Wei Yinian looked at him, wanting to shake his head but had no strength, "It's none of your business...... If she's not for me, she's for me......"
"Stop talking. The doctor said, you have to take good care......" Gao Xiuru's long-held tears finally fell. She held her husband's cold hand tightly, as if trying to hold on to the warmth.
But Wei Yinian smiled lightly, "Don't cry, Xiuru, don't cry...... I'm satisfied to see you again later. I just, I just didn't expect it to affect Mu Lan...... I, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for her......"
"No!" Gao Xiuru couldn't hold back her sobs, "It's me, it's all my fault!" If it weren't for my half-heartedness, I wouldn't have hurt you, I wouldn't have hurt our children...... Later, it won't hurt Mu Lan. She's a good girl, she shouldn't be like this! ”
The little Wei Changling didn't quite understand what was going on, but he didn't wake up his mother, and even his mother was crying. So, the little one also cried, dazed and helpless, scared and helpless.
"Hachi, Hachi, don't cry. Come to Daddy. ”
Wei Yinian looked over with difficulty, Wei Changling walked to the side of the bed and grabbed his sleeve, "Dad, I'm afraid." ”
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Wei Yinian tried his best to give his son a smile and looked at Ouyang Kang, "Really...... I'm so sorry. At this time, I want to trouble you...... But I, I don't have any other relatives. Hachi, can he entrust it to you? Xiuru, Xiuru is still so young, I can't bear to ......"
"What are you talking about?" Gao Xiuru hugged Wei Changling into her arms, both sad and angry, "He is my son, how can you bear to give him to others?" I admit that I was confused in the past, but since you married Mu Lan, I have learned who I really like. Do you know Lu Dao, I, as long as I think about you being with her every day, I am very jealous, this relationship is different from others......"
She lowered her head, hugged her son, and cried like a child.
Tears oozed from Wei Yinian's eyes, but there was a happy glow on his face, "Really? Me, I thought you didn't mind at all......"
The couple, from teenager to young adult, went around and around for decades before they finally got in touch and told each other's true feelings.
But this moment came too late, too late.
"Yi Nian, I beg you! Don't die, don't leave me, I, I can't do without you......"
Gao Xiuru cried uncontrollably, but Wei Yinian's pupils had already begun to dissipate, and he took the last breath and put his son's little hand into Gao Xiuru's hand, "If you want, take him with you...... Xiaoba, you must listen to your mother and mother in the future, and be filial to her, your mother is a poor person...... She has no relatives in this world...... So you have to be like a man, protect your mother well, and know the way? ”
The child did not understand these words, but he remembered them in his heart in this mournful atmosphere, crying and nodding his head.
Wei Yinian smiled reassuringly, "Xiaoba is really a good boy...... Xiuru, I'm sorry, I, I have to go to Mulan...... I owe her so much that I don't know how she can do it for me...... I, I have to go to her, and in the next life, I will treat her wholeheartedly...... Then, then I'll be waiting for you at the Nai Ho Bridge. Therefore, you must live a long life to be 100 years old before I can be reincarnated again...... When the time comes, we will go to reincarnation together, and we will be a husband and wife, childhood sweethearts......"
If you don't finish it, you can never say it.
The unfinished love can only be continued in the next life.
Wei Yinian closed his eyes, but he was reluctant to leave this world forever. (To be continued......)
