Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Bloodstained Regime
Liangzhou in August has only one word to describe, hot!
The scorching sun hangs in the sky like a plate. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At this time, the main camp in the northwest, ten miles west of the city, had withdrawn to the east of Xiaowu Mountain, behind the Jing Forest. The barrier of the past Weishui is really not a barrier.
Therefore, only 2,000 cavalry were left to patrol west of Xiaowu Mountain, and 20,000 vanguard infantry echoed the main tent.
Although Ashina, the king of Xihu, is not aggressive, he is by no means patient.
Since the Chinese army arrived at the front line, they only rested for half a day, and that night, Ashina sent a team of cavalry to cross Weishui, wanting to sneak attack the northwest front camp of Great Xia.
It was in this confrontation that Princess Sasha An appeared, and Luo Mingran saw it clearly, it was actually a woman who had clashed with him and the Seventh Prince Zhou Wenyu many times in Liangzhou City in the past, leaving a deep impression.
In Liangzhou City that day, they decided that this woman was not an ordinary person, and when they were about to send someone to investigate further, she disappeared.
He and Zhou Wenyu also had a lot of speculations about this matter, but none of them thought about it to Xihu, because this woman haunted Liangzhou City three years ago and was a private businessman here.
When it comes to private business, this is a business that cannot be put down on the surface.
The people in the northwest are bitter and cold, and the people's clothing, food, housing and transportation are very difficult, so there are some wandering merchants, they transport the products of the south and the Central Plains here, and then sell them to the Western Regions, of course, many will also flow into Xihu, and then transport back to the Central Plains from various states in the Western Regions, rare gems, fur goods, and sell to the Central Plains.
And private businessmen are different from domain merchants, private merchants are similar to merchants who smuggle items prohibited by the imperial court, such items, such as salt, for example, weapons!
At this time, on the banks of the Weishui River, it was no longer known that it was Xihu's first attack.
Zhou Wenyu pursed his chapped lips.
Although he has always kept the Xihu Wangjun on the other side of the river, and has not suffered too many casualties, there is no trace of joy in his eyes.
Looking up, I glanced at the opposite side, the grassland was drought, it was the best season for alkali grass, needle grass, ice grass, etc., it should be green, endless beauty, but at this time it was dry yellow without a little color, the horses looked sad, and occasionally looked listless and lowered their heads to nibble on the hay twice.
Looking up at the sky, the red sun is scorching, there is not a trace of clouds, there is not a wisp of wind, the dry heat is baking the armor on the body, and the underwear has long been soaked with sweat.
"Sasha An, you can't win, persuade Ashina to withdraw as soon as possible! You are a smart woman, you have also been in Liangzhou City for three years, you will not be unaware of the situation of our army, you are asking for your own death when you come to commit crimes at this time! Luo Mingran shouted loudly.
Today, it is the first time that he and Zhou Wenyu have led the troops, and there is excitement and excitement.
Zhou Wenyu glanced at Luo Mingran beside him and wanted to grin, but he couldn't laugh.
"Seventh Prince, do you also think that we are killing ourselves?"
Sasha An on the other side replied loudly, asking Zhou Wenyu, who was silent.
I saw Sasha An dressed in fiery red armor, a spear immediately, and a flamboyant smile on the corner of her mouth.
This woman, the second time she saw herself, boldly told herself: "I like you!" ”
"Sasha An, you know that this will not solve the dilemma, it will only increase my emperor's hostility towards Xihu." Zhou Wenyu said.
"Who knows!" The woman was even more bold than them, only to see Princess Sasha Ann pick up her spear lightly, play two spears in the air, and shout: "Then fight!" Hahahaha. ”
"Fight! War! War! ”
On the opposite side, with the laughter of Princess Sasha An, the war drums were beaten, and countless Xihu soldiers pointed to the sky with spears or broadswords in their hands, and the cry shook the sky.
But they didn't know that the only thing that awaited them was death.
"Kill!"
The drums of war were beating, and the Xihu soldiers rode their horses.
Zhou Wenyu looked at the dry and wide Weishui River, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and saw that Xihu Qianfeng had reached the middle of the river, and put down his raised arm.
The war drums of the Northwest Army sounded.
"Kill!"
The two armies clashed, and blood was immediately seen!
This is not the first time he has been on the battlefield, Zhou Wenyu immediately threw away his distracting thoughts, and as soon as the sword in his hand was loosened forward, he pierced the chest of a big man with a Western Hu.
Although the Xihu soldiers were martial arts, they lacked battle armor, and they were generally wrapped in animal skins, and even more, they directly carried a big sword bare-chested, and they exchanged hands with the Great Xia soldiers wearing exquisite armor.
"Seventh Prince, your opponent is me!"
With a coquettish reprimand, Sasha An had already come up, the long sword against the spear, Zhou Wenyu naturally suffered, only to see the shadow of the gun, he only had the power to parry, however, Zhou Wenyu was not so easy to be defeated, a backward flip, he turned around and kicked.
This kick happened to kick Sashaan's spear, Sasha'an only felt that her wrist was numb, and before she could hold the spear again, there was another shock in her hand, only to see Zhou Wenyu's long sword picked, Sasha'an's spear was taken off.
However, the woman just raised her eyebrows and smiled confidently: "It is worthy of the man I have a crush on, the Seventh Prince, if you marry me, maybe you can end this war!" ”
The woman's smile is flamboyant, this heroic posture is like the red thorns in the desert, standing in the wind, proud of the yellow sand and wind.
"Sasha Ann, I have the woman I must marry!" Zhou Wenyu sighed at the woman's beauty, but the tenderness in her eyes did not fall on the person in front of her.
"Humph!" Sasha Ann snorted coldly, pulled out a golden whip from her waist, and started with a fierce whip, leaving no hands at all.
Zhou Wenyu also became serious, the two of them come and go, occasionally there is a short-eyed Hu Bing who wants to help their princess, but Zhou Wenyu easily stabbed his throat, but it was this understatement that made Sasha An angry.
"Zhou Wenyu, your opponent is me!" Now, even the Seven Princes stopped shouting.
Zhou Wenyu lifted the corners of his lips and let out a chuckle: "Princess, the killing confrontation is not a duel between two people. ”
"Long-winded!"
Sasha'an's whip was barbed, and during this period, Zhou Wenyu also wanted to protect the soldiers around him, and Sasha'an, who was caught in the gap, hit his arm, and actually broke the soft armor on his arm, and the blood stained his sleeves red, and his arm holding the sword was almost unstable.
A life-and-death struggle is being staged in every corner of the battlefield.
The sun was setting in the west, the war drums were beating again, and both sides involuntarily slowed down their movements.
Zhou Wenyu suddenly grabbed the long whip that Sashaan drawn, Sashaan was already out of breath, but Zhou Wenyu still didn't change his face.
"Sasha An, these are all your people, how can you bear to die like this?" Zhou Wenyu's face was ugly, and he had never been cold.
"Huh!" Sasha Ann wiped a handful of blood splashed on her face, her face was smiling, but the words she said were extremely cold-blooded: "If they don't die, Xihu will be finished!" ”
After saying that, Sasha Ann slammed back her whip and quickly retreated into the crowd, retreating with the Xihu soldiers.
His own soldiers had also been withdrawn, and Zhou Wenyu stood in the Weishui River covered with corpses, and the dry Weishui River seemed to come alive because of the blood all over the ground.
"Are you alright?" Luo Mingran brought a horse over, handed it to Zhou Wenyu, saw that he was angry, and asked with concern.
"Is this blood-stained regime really so good?"
Zhou Wenyu looked up at the sky in confusion, the sun was setting, the wasteland was withered, and there was no life at all.
