Chapter 161: The Battle of Jingshui
Hundreds of miles away, in the mountains and wilderness, Jingshui flows slowly not far away, as calm as a stagnant river. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe terrain here is flat, the leylines are vast, and it is not as steep and tortuous as the previous descending from the mountain, so the water flow is gentle and the momentum is small. The wind whistled and swept across the riverbank.
On the other side, there is a battlefield filled with gunsmoke and the sound of killing, on the bank of Jingshui, sand and dust are billowing, and drums are surging. The military flags of the two countries were spread all over the field, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Wu Ben army fought bloody battles with the enemy, the battle lasted for a day and a night, the ground was full of unrecognizable corpses, the flesh and bones were eroded, the blood was monstrous, and the smell of fish filled the entire air. The horses died, the sergeants died, and there were fewer and fewer who stood up to meet the enemy, and more and more fell...... Fierce battles that have never been fought before, heavy losses that have never been fought before.
Before the last ray of light in the sky retreated, Qiao Jiang's army was finally repulsed and came to the west of the mountain, and the camp was forced to retreat west to a hundred miles away, and the enemy was defeated and demoralized.
In this battle, the Wu Ben army won......
However, the army suffered heavy casualties, and the vast land was littered with corpses, rivers of blood, shields scattered on the ground, and military flags fell to the ground and flipped in the wind, broken and bloodstained. The wounded soldiers slowly walked towards the horses, and the unharmed ones were looking for the surviving soldiers on the battlefield, and there was still a trace of breath to be rescued.
General Sima's face was full of anxiety, looking around for a familiar figure, and finally saw General Qi Zhao not far away, hurriedly galloped over, the two met, and suddenly saw that it was okay, and he was relieved.
"What about the Major General?" General Sima looked around and faced Qi Zhao, his dusty face was brushed with a few blood marks, the red tassels on his helmet danced in the wind, and below was an anxious vicissitudes of life.
General Qi Zhao sat on the horse, pulled the reins and turned around, and found that there was indeed no figure of Qi Yu around, and he was also uneasy in his heart, but he still said in his mouth: "It must be with Prince Chen, and it is estimated that he has not come back on the other side of the mountain." ”
"Then let's go find it! Don't fall for Qiao Bing's ambush! As he spoke, General Sima turned his horse's head and ran to that side.
was about to ride a horse, but saw a figure in the distance coming, from far to near, the brown war horse under him was brave and vigorous, and it became clearer and clearer in the line of sight. Both General Qi Zhao and General Sima tightened their grips on the reins, keeping their mounts moving, and squinting their eyes at the people returning from the front.
"It's Prince Chen!" General Sima said, "They're back!" ”
Su Chen was followed by dozens of people, and a team of light horses flew in the wolf smoke. The dust and smoke obliterated the horse's hooves, and behind them, there was an orange light in the sky, and the red sunset sank into the mountains, making their fronts pitch black, and there was a faint faint light on their bodies and the outlines of their horses.
"Phew!" Su Chen grabbed the reins, looked up at General Qi Zhao and General Sima, and dozens of war horses behind him also stopped one after another.
"Has Your Highness ever been wounded?" They looked at him worriedly and clenched their fists.
"I'm fine, what about the two generals?" Su Chen's face was also bloodstained, and his clear eyes were a little melancholy, but they were still extremely translucent, bright, and implied a trace of anxiety.
"The subordinates have nothing to do, and Your Highness doesn't have to worry about it." After saying that, Qi Zhao raised his head and looked at the dozens of people and horses behind Su Chen, his sword eyebrows were tightly locked, and his eyes searched back and forth.
General Sima had already scanned Prince Chen's men and horses, and if the young general was here, he would have seen it a long time ago, and he would not let them look for it again.
Su Chen was obviously also looking behind General Qi Zhao, and after looking for it, he made sure that there was no Qi Yu around. The three of them had obviously understood—Qi Yu was gone.
They didn't say a word, but their expressions became solemn at the same time, and the muscles on General Qi Zhao's face twitched, and his eyes were full of panic and anxiety that he tried his best to suppress. Su Chen's eyebrows were more aggressive, so he wouldn't believe that something had happened to Qi Yu, so he grabbed the reins with both hands and immediately turned the horse's head.
"You go separately to find the major general, turn over all the people on the ground, identify them one by one, and don't come back if you can't find anyone!"
"Yes!" At the sound of the order, all the soldiers behind him rolled their saddles and dismounted, scattered on the battlefield, looking for Qi Yu's face separately, and the rest of the soldiers also joined the search team when they heard the order. For a while, the field full of corpses was full of warrior figures rummaging for Qi Yu, and the voice of shouting "Major General" floated in the air, and there were bursts.
"Major General...... The major general must be injured, and he may not be able to get up at this moment, his subordinates, his subordinates will also look for it! General Sima clenched his fists, jumped off his horse, and hurried forward.
Su Chen stepped over the corpses one by one, his eyes were like torches, staring at the faces of the dead soldiers one after another, but they only stayed for a moment before moving away, and then looked for the next face. Every time I squat on the ground and turn over a body, I am filled with great hope, but when my eyes touch my face, all hope is disappointed.
Qi Yu, you can't die, you give me life!
It was you who said that you would always suppress my prestige, it was you who said that you would never be defeated by me, and now, in the face of mere soldiers, I am unharmed, how can you be gently defeated by them? If you want to lose, you will also be defeated under my hands, and you will be defeated by the enemy, and you Qi Yu will make me look down on me forever!
In countless previous battles, he had blocked countless swords for him and killed countless enemy troops who had invaded from behind. Every time he was in danger, Qi Yu came to help and turned the danger into a disaster. As far as Su Chen is concerned, as long as Qi Yu is fighting side by side with him, it seems that he never has to worry about being injured or defeated.
So many victories were won by the two of them side by side. In this battle, although the Wu Ben army suffered heavy losses, suffered heavy casualties, and lost morale, it was also victorious. Another triumph, another joy, how sad it would be if there was no one to share it in the future......
Then he Su Chen, from now on, will also lose his armor and abandon his armor, and he will never know the field.
The last of the colorful glow on the horizon was also blown away by the wind, and the magnificence of Fang Cai disappeared, the orange-red light faded, and the whole sky turned a dull blue, and night was approaching.
The wind was getting cooler, the light was getting darker, and the contours of the faces of the dead were becoming more and more indistinct in the night. Soon, a little bonfire was lit on the battlefield, floating in the night, and the shouts of "Major General" did not weaken by half a minute, and still echoed in the open field.
The tent was erected here, and the wounded soldiers were carried back by the other soldiers, and all of them were sent into the tent, and the imperial physician ran around to heal them one by one.
In fact, on the huge battlefield, dozens of soldiers had already rummaged through the corpses on the ground, and they all knew in their hearts that the major general was not among them. And what about Su Chen, Qi Zhao and the others? It's just that no one breathes a sigh of relief, only the last glimmer of hope remains, as if they have inexhaustible strength, rummaging over and over again.
The earth is mostly full of dead soldiers, and every time they are lost, they give birth to a kind of happiness. Later, I looked for a lot, but I didn't know whether to be sad or happy.
If there is really no Qi Yu on this battlefield, then it can only be one situation - Qi Yu was captured. (To be continued.) )
