Chapter 9 • Robe (1)

The west-slanting sun could no longer block the cold attack of the northern invasion of the night, and the lonely afterglow stretched the projection of the few riders longer and longer, and the projection under the sand dunes was even more hesitant.

Yan Wuji reined in his horse and looked at the sound, and the cavalryman who walked in the third place hugged his comrade who was still vomiting blood in his arms, and forced himself to prevent his overflowing tears from running across his face recklessly.

"Little monkey... He's no longer good! ”

In fact, needless to say, all the living teammates present have already made up their minds about the little monkey, their eyes are full of sadness and helplessness that can't be concealed, what is more worrying than watching their robes die and being powerless, if they are stabbed by the enemy on the battlefield, they are also happy, the most afraid is this kind of failure to die on the battlefield, but because of the wounded, forever asleep on the way home, endure the fear of imminent death, derived from the despair of farewell thoughts.

Yan Wuji tightly tightened the reins of the horse in his hand until his knuckles turned white, this was a way for him to endure the pain, quiet but with a terrifying madness, but he had not yet broken through the node that broke out in his heart.

"Old group, optimistic about the little monkeys, we must be faster, otherwise no one will be able to leave."

The old group hugged the little monkey who was no longer breathing in his arms, and wrapped his bloodstained cloak around the little monkey's chest, as if he was concerned about the robe that was just asleep, afraid that he would catch a cold.

Silence gradually covered the team, and the elongated figure of the setting sun was like the longing in their hearts, which had extended to the invisible distance.

Zhu Ziming led his two hundred elite cavalry all the way to the north, on the way before he came, he had already met the Tian and Huang Liang Shi scouts, Tian Zi Shi came from the northwest direction, from their tired military appearance can be seen the hard work of this road, in the Tian Zi Shi long report learned that the northwest did not meet the Hu Meng cavalry, let alone the Hu Meng army, Zhu Ziming patted him encouragingly, let him take his subordinates to continue to go back, and then the Huang Zi Shi was like the Tian Zi Shi, and there was no useful information, which made Zhu Ziming's heart more and more heavy, He faintly felt that behind this calm, there seemed to be a huge storm quietly coming, Zhu Ziming took a deep breath, and no longer paid attention to the uneasiness in his heart, because he had not completed the task this time, and even said that he had not raised a single eyebrow yet.

Temporarily suppressed the uneasy heart and gradually overflowed with anxiety, but this did not make the veteran lose his calm, after confirming the specific direction, he took the lead and galloped towards the north, at least in his heart, seize a little more time, there will be a more chance, finding the major general is a top priority, even if it is the Longtan tiger's den.

The sky is getting later and later, and the temperature is getting lower and lower, even the war horses under him seem to be trembling gently because they can't bear the cold, Yan Wuji doesn't know how far he can go if he goes on like this, fatigue and hunger have made him not have much ability to think, just walking south step by step with instinct.

From time to time, he turned back to confirm whether anyone was left behind, but this time he turned back to let him give up this worry, and the bright torches behind him were like the eyes of hungry wolves, gradually shining towards this team, in the messy sound of horse hooves and the shouts of Humeng cavalry, Yan Wuji let out a long breath, strangled the exhausted war horse under him, turned over, and slapped the half-dead captive down, a scream from the captive made the tired squad cheer up a little, and stood with their swords, Prepare for the deadly onslaught.

Zha Du, who was woken up, gradually regained some senses, listening to the familiar sound in the distance, so that his heart suddenly surged out of a sense of excitement for the rest of his life, but just when this excitement just emerged, it was scattered without a trace by an icy cold light, and Zhadu, who followed this cold light, finally saw that its owner was also staring at him, and the sharp blade in the man's hand seemed to have reflected his horror of returning to the light.

It is impossible for Zadu, who can become a general of the army, not to understand that if this Humeng cavalry who came can spare these people, he may still be alive, otherwise he will definitely be the first to die in this encounter.

"But is it possible? How can it be! Zadu thought gloomily, closed his eyes again and pillowed on the yellow sand, but his body trembled involuntarily.

The approaching Humeng cavalry did not immediately attack this Yan State scout team, but kept shouting the winner's horn in front of them, it is said that the men of Humeng are born with this kind of wild horn, which can make the Humeng iron cavalry on the battlefield have the will to win, but also bring the enemy the fear of death, tearing their will to resist.

Barto drove his horse to a place about fifty meters away from the six people and stood still, his eyes swept over the tired scout team in front of him one by one, and when he saw the body lying on the ground shaking from time to time, his brow furrowed imperceptibly, the disgust in his eyes flashed, and a crisp horse nose broke the peace between them, Barto patted his horse with his hand, as if to soothe its impatience, and like the pretense of an overcomer, he enjoyed the atmosphere, looking at the weak as a master, Then decide their life and death as they please.

"I have to admit that you were really bold and almost succeeded, and if I didn't catch up with you here, I can't imagine what kind of loss this coward you brought back would have caused me Humeng." Barto slowly pulled out his meniscus saber and continued with a bloodthirsty smile: "But now, I will let you know that my Humeng's long-sealed saber has been unsheathed, and my Humeng's iron horse will crush every inch of your Dayan's land, like rubble!" ”

When the fierce battle intent was ready to be launched, he was tripped by the horse's hooves by the galloping fire dragon in the distance, Barto looked at the galloping Yan cavalry in disbelief, such a coincidence made him unwilling to believe his eyes for a while, his cold eyes turned to the body on the ground that was still shaking to prove that he was still alive, and his heart was making a decision that made him feel bold.

Just a moment ago, Zhu Ziming was tired of riding in the gradually cold night, his gradually desolate heart was like the Gobi in the northwest, there was no longer a trace of life, and there were still returning rangers in his ears reporting everything they had discovered, but he still hadn't heard the news that could revive his heart, which made him have the urge to draw his sword and kill himself.

Another worthless reward, Zhu Ziming just raised his eyelids at the comer, and then continued to struggle with the urge to kill himself.

"General, a Yan army squad was found ahead, being chased by a large force of Humeng cavalry."

"Well, I know" repeating the words he said I don't know how many times, Zhu Ziming felt that this was a meaningless waste of the little drinking water left in his water bladder, but in the next moment, he hit a trembling spirit, and without saying a word, he hit the horse and yelled forward: "Lead the way quickly!" Lead the way! ”

Zhu Ziming, who had been running for several miles in one go, finally saw the Yan Army scout who could make his heart beat again, which made him feel that God was not so mean to him at this moment, and a sense of excitement of rebirth instantly filled his body, the distance of two hundred meters was just the best length for the cavalry charge, and he looked coldly at the scimitar that the Hu Meng general was about to swing, Zhu Ziming raised his spear in the bright torch, and the Hu Meng general also set his eyes on himself in time.

"Good, that's exactly what I wanted." Zhu Ziming secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Regarding the changes in the situation, Yan Wuji thought about it in his heart, and soon had some calculations, and said to the five people around him: "Don't care about that captive, take your brothers and go to the back." Then he took five people, led the horses, and slowly approached Zhu Ziming's army towards the Humeng cavalry.

A kind of anxiety appeared in Bato's heart, he understood that these people were still hostages in his hands, but they were hostages that he couldn't control, and could only be burned, and if they retreated to a hundred meters away from him, not only would they be free from the identity of hostages, but they would also let themselves become meat on the chopping board for Yan Jun to slaughter, fortunately they didn't take Zadu away, which at least gave Bato a little psychological comfort, when he saw that the soldiers under his command had dragged Zadu to him like a dead dog, Barto finally gave up on the decision in his mind to die and retreated into the endless darkness with his men full of vigilance.

Zhu Ziming sent his own guards to greet the scout team, but he still maintained the posture of raising his gun, and his eyes kept looking at the dark night around him, until Yan Wuji and the others came to his side, and then they dismounted to meet each other.

"The major general has worked hard all the way, and he has something to eat with a few brothers." As he spoke, he took the dry cakes and water handed over by the guards and handed them to Yan Wuji and the others.

was really hungry and thirsty, a few people took dry cakes and water and took a mouthful of dry cakes and water, and when the disease in the abdomen was slightly resolved, Yan Wuji put down the things in his hand and said deeply to Zhu Ziming: "General Zhu and his brothers are covered in dust, just to find Wuji, and Wuji is ashamed." ”

"The young general's words are serious, I can't hide it, although I was ordered this time, but the more I go deep into the north, the more I admire the courage of the major general and his brothers, I am very fortunate to have a general like the major general." Speaking of the back, Zhu Ziming couldn't help but feel related, in fact, Yan Wuji also knew what he said in his heart, but he could only sigh helplessly.
