Chapter 228: Burning Grain

"Yue'er."

A gentle call sounded in her ears, Zhen Yue hurriedly put away her thoughts, and she didn't know when Fu Ziran was already sitting beside her.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Fu Ziran said softly, "Can't sleep?" ”

Zhen Yue nodded: "Tomorrow's war is in flames, I don't know if the city tower in Xining can still hold up." ”

"Don't worry, rest early, these **** haven't closed their eyes." Fu Ziran thought of the sword without eyes on the battlefield tomorrow, and his heart panicked, but every time he saw her firm expression, the persuasion on the side of his mouth could only be swallowed, the disputes in the world had nothing to do with him for a long time, he hoped that his sister could be an ordinary woman and have a healthy life, but he knew that Yue'er was different from other women, destined to shine brightly, destined to enter the long river of history, he couldn't stop it, so he could only accompany him silently.

"You'll stay at camp tomorrow." Seeing the loneliness in his eyes, Zhen Yue stretched out her hand to hold it in his palm, her voice was soft, and it had the mysterious power to soothe people: "Brother, only if you are safe, I can have no worries and come back safely, rest assured, I will be fine, believe me." ”

"Brother, isn't it useless."

"Of course not, my brother's medical skills are outstanding, his hands are rejuvenated, the battlefield is not my brother's home field, but the rescue of the wounded after the war is inseparable from my brother, and my brother is the light that brings hope to the post-war period."

Fu Ziran shook his head and smiled, his heart seemed to be warm, and he said softly: "Sleep, my brother is guarding you." ”

"Yes."

In the early morning of the next day, the morning fog was misty, the east was white, there was a faint red in the sky, and the blood was faintly visible, ready to go.

Zhen Yue led a group of men and horses to the upper reaches of the Yu River, Ji Jianxuan led another pair of men and horses to the lower reaches of the Yu River, the number of Xitan troops is huge, the grain and grass are transported by trekking through mountains and rivers, and they have long been prepared for long-term preparations, and every general on the march knows the importance of grain and grass.

Although the place where the grain and grass are stored must not be far from the barracks, Zhen Yue took two hours to survey their grain and grass yesterday, and the Xitan army chose Yuhe as the storage place of grain and grass, which also shows that the people who lead the army in Xitan are not completely mediocre, even if someone attacks them, they can put out the fire in time.

The horse's hooves disappeared, Zhen Yue and the others crawled in the grass, like beasts waiting in the shadows, the crossbows in their hands were cold, and they were agile, like dexterous pythons moving forward quickly.

The surrounding people were depressed, and the murderous aura was about to erupt, and the soldiers of Xitan who were guarding the grain and grass drank a little wine, full of relaxation, and after a few battles, they had already let them relax and slack, and they didn't know that a fight was coming.

Only listen to a few swishing sounds, arrows like rainforest, the speed is amazing, with a small pot of fire oil in the air, a few bangs shot into the mountains of grain and grass, the fire instantly devoured the grain and grass, and the heat wave surged in.

"There are enemies!"

The frightened Xitan defenders suddenly pulled out their long knives, and the wine jugs in their hands had already been thrown on the ground, all gathered together, in a hurry, before they could put out the fire, the arrows were like flying locusts, surging ****.

The screams were endless, and the hundred-man defenders suddenly became a hornet's nest, and behind them was a fire all over the sky, rendering blood all over the ground, and some of the deserters had just grabbed the reins, and before they could lift their feet, they were shot through the head and fell in a pool of blood with a bang.

Before the hundred-strong Xitan army could confront the enemy head-on, it was beaten and fled, suffering heavy losses and sharp arrows, without the slightest respite.

Suddenly, the **** arrow stopped, and the surroundings fell into a deathly silence, only the raging fire crackled and burned, and the air was suffocating.

The defenders of Xitan retreated in horror, and in an instant, the horses' hooves rolled in, like rolling thunder in summer, and they saw a large group of cavalry pouring out of the grass in the distance.

The warriors on horseback did not have a distinctive military uniform, only ordinary linen clothes, but their slaughter was in no way inferior to the orthodox strong soldiers.

What is even more shocking is the woman at the head of the team, who is awe-inspiring, and the short sword in her hand has a brilliant cold light under the flames.

Suddenly, the white blades met, the sword light and the shadow of the sword, the well-trained forty people quickly cut the hundred-strong Xitan army under the sword, without the slightest pressure of the disparity in numbers, the blood meandered to the sea of fire, and the corpses on the ground gradually increased.

The billowing smoke drifted into the sky, merging with the smoke downstream, like a snow-bright knife inserting into the gray sky, only to hear the sound of a golden drum and trumpet in the distance tearing through the sky, bringing up a shocking blood.

"They're attacking!" Zhen Yue looked into the distance violently, and the sound of the golden drum of the war still lingered in her ears.

"Let's go!"

Suddenly, all the men in strong suits, led by women, rode their horses and galloped, and the corpses all over the ground were mixed with a strong smell of blood, and they were soon drowned under the sea of fire.

The conspicuous smoke had long been seen by the two camps, and the 100,000 horses and horses in Xitan were suddenly in chaos, and they didn't know who burned their grain and grass, they had already besieged all the people within a hundred miles, and who set fire to their backyard! When the grain and grass are burned out, how will the next battle unfold!

The imminent problem immediately lingered in the hearts of the Xitan soldiers who only knew food and clothing, most of them went to the military camp because of hunger, eating life and death, food and grass were gone, and then staying would not be in vain to die, some soldiers took advantage of the gap in the siege of the city, and fled on horseback.

However, before they even reached the slope, they were pierced through their heads by arrows from ****, their brains sprayed on their manes, their bodies fell like wheat in autumn, and the end of the deserters was only death!

The soldiers of Xitan were even more frightened, and their previous arrogance and conceit were instantly infected with panic, and 100,000 soldiers became restrained in front of the towering and difficult city gate, and they just wanted to end the war quickly, otherwise they could only starve and freeze.

The Xining City Tower is full of holes, and there are falling ashes everywhere, but it is still difficult to be captured, and the hearts of the soldiers in Xitan are suddenly decadent, and they have long lost their previous arrogance, like a ball that is suddenly deflated.

The battle had only been fought for an hour, and the leading army of Xitan withdrew their troops and retreated to the camp.

When Zhen Yue arrived at the entrance of the mountain road, she heard the sound of bells and drums to collect the troops, she held the reins, and the corners of her mouth were relaxed for a moment, and finally had a moment of respite.

In less than a moment, she met Ji Jianxuan and the others halfway back to the camp.

Ji Jianxuan's calm face was cloudy, his brows were tightly locked, most of the warriors behind him were wounded by arrows, Zhen Yue sensed that something was wrong, and the ability of the Xitan army would definitely not hurt them!

"What's going on? Tricky situation? Zhen Yue asked in a deep voice.

Ji Jianxuan's eyes wandered, and when he saw that there was no movement in the surrounding grass and trees, he said with a solemn face: "When we attacked the land of grain and grass, we met another team of mysterious people unexpectedly, they were all hiding in the shadows, we didn't go head-to-head, we just tested each other, I didn't expect the other party's strength to be so powerful."
