Xu Ji had commanded large-scale battles in the Eastern Capital, but he was trapped in the city and had no chance to participate, and this was the first time he personally joined such a huge battlefield and fought with his soldiers.

It was not quite the scene he had imagined, he had a knife in his hand, and he was shouting like the others, but he could not see the enemy, let alone fight, and as far as the eye could see, it was all his own people, huddled together, his mount trapped, and he hissed anxiously.

Xu Ji really wanted to follow Ning Baoguan's side, but he couldn't help himself, and it didn't take long for him to be forced to the other end, he admired those guards, wrapped King Ning like a rock, and no one was allowed to approach, even if it was his own people, once Xu Ji left, it was more difficult to squeeze in than to ascend to the sky.

A small number of cavalry mostly surrounded King Ning, and Xu Ji, who was sitting on the horse, finally opened up in front of him, and could look a little farther.

In fact, he was not the only one whose weapons were "idle", the infantry of the Ning army had no contact with the enemy at all, and they all moved forward slowly with their shields, while the cavalry of He Rong continued to shoot arrows not far away.

Xu Ji was watching the situation, and was suddenly pulled off the horse, startled, and the knife in his hand almost fell out.

"Stupid, sit so high, don't you want to live?" Someone shouted.

Xu Ji finally stood firm, only to see a forty or fifty-year-old veteran glaring at him like a fool.

"I ......" As soon as Xu Ji said a word, he was dragged by the crowd to move forward, not even remembering the appearance of the veteran.

He never saw his mount again.

A person next to him was unfortunately hit by an arrow, screaming and falling, and was trampled by the people behind him, Xu Ji only then noticed that he had no shield, only a knife, raised high, even if his arm was sore, he didn't dare to fall, for fear of hurting his own people.

At this time, it is too late to find a shield, and only hope for luck.

The participation of the infantry in the battle was not meaningless, He Rong's cavalry was pinned, and the Ning cavalry led by Luo Hanqi finally came in handy, able to rush into the enemy group and exert the power of the long lance.

Xu Ji, like most of the soldiers, couldn't see anything, so he could only follow the crowd.

I don't know how long I walked, the front suddenly stopped, and there was a backward thrust, and the shouting was louder - the infantry of the Ning army encountered the infantry of the Central Plains on the opposite side, and the battle suddenly became fierce, and the advantage was that He Rong's cavalry shot much fewer arrows.

But Xu Ji still couldn't see anything, and was pushed forward by the people behind him, and he also pushed the people in front of him.

Many years ago, when Xu Ji was still a teenager, he was taken into the barracks by the general with more than a dozen brothers of the same age, and participated in a drill.

The pressure ahead came and went suddenly, and the crowd dispersed at once, and there was a gap in the middle, and everyone rushed forward, as if they would lose something extremely important if they were one step too late.

Xu Ji also ran forward, and was finally able to change the knife to one hand and rest his right arm.

didn't run far, Xu Ji tripped under his feet, fell forward heavily, and the waist knife that he had never used once came out of his hand.

At that moment, a thought flashed in Xu Ji's heart: he was going to die, and the soldiers swarming behind him would trample him into a meatloaf, but unfortunately, he didn't even have a chance to fight with He Rongren.

He was indeed stepped on, and he was kicked hard, and his eyes were dark, and he had no impression of this great battle that would surely shock the world.

Xu Ji was awakened by freezing, turned over, and found that it was already dark, so he reached out and quickly touched it to confirm that his body was complete, and there seemed to be sticky blood stains in some places, but it didn't hurt, and he couldn't tell who the blood was.

Xu Ji struggled to get up, his feet were numb, and he stomped a few times before he slowly eased up.

He didn't know where he was, he didn't know who was winning or losing, and he didn't know where to go, so he turned around and saw many corpses by the starlight in the sky, and he guessed that he had tripped over one of them.

He spun around again, randomly chose a direction, and dragged his stiff body forward.

The cold wind was biting, and the few pieces of armor on his body not only did not block the wind, but made him feel colder, Xu Ji took off the armor on his body, and felt a little relaxed.

There seems to be someone screaming in the distance, or it may be the howling of the wind, Xu Ji's heart is blank, he only knows to step forward, at this moment, what is the general trend of the world, what heroes and heroes, all are not worth mentioning, he only remembers that he has a warm cloak, find it, in order to live.

After a few miles, Xu Ji suddenly found that he was not alone, under the cover of night, there were other people who walked alone like him, and the strange thing was that no one thought of getting close to each other, but they walked in similar directions.

The swarthy figure looked like a walking corpse, and Xu Ji really suspected that he had become a ghost, and it was not until his teeth were frozen that he regained his belief in being alive.

A moving firelight appeared in the distance, and all the figures ran towards it, making meaningless cries from their mouths, just to be heard by the "firelight", even if it was the enemy, everyone would accept their fate.

It was a team of infantry who came, and when they met, they asked whose subordinates they were, and everyone else answered, Xu Ji was stunned for a moment, and was pressed down by two soldiers.

"King Ning, I am King Ning's subordinate." Xu Ji immediately said, no longer insisting that he was a "guest" everywhere.

"Nonsense, it's all King Ning's subordinates, which general do you belong to?"

Hearing this, Xu Ji was completely relieved, "General Chang of Changyan." ”

The soldier let go and pointed casually, "Follow others." ”

"We've won?"

"Hurry up, hurry up." The soldier urged impatiently.

The soldiers had come to clean up the battlefield, and when they had enough of a dozen survivors, they sent one person with a torch to guide them and send them back to the rear, and those who could walk had to help support or carry the seriously wounded.

Xu Ji carried a soldier with a wounded left leg.

Slowly, this group of "walking dead" came to life, began to speak, began to ask, and the soldiers who took the lead said loudly: "Victory, victory, Ningjun victory, I will take you to the camp of the He Rong people, where there is wine and meat, enough for you to eat." ”

The crowd cheered.

However, the next description of the leading soldier made Xu Ji feel that his memory was confused.

"King Ning took the lead, successively overthrowing five barbarian kings, ten barbarian generals and countless barbarian soldiers, He Rongren squeaked and screamed, refused to admit defeat, and wanted to rely on more people to besiege King Ning, guess what? A huge dragon fell from the sky and crushed a thousand enemy soldiers to death at once, and He Rongren was really scared at this moment......"

"Where's the dragon?" Someone asked curiously.

"After crushing the enemy soldiers, he will disappear, and tell you, the dragon is the Dharma Body of King Ning, and he is the true dragon emperor......"

An accident occurred on the way, the surviving soldiers chatted with each other, and actually found a Qinzhou soldier mixed in, so there was one more prisoner in the team, his hands were tied behind his back, and anyone could hit twice, and before he could eat the cattle and sheep of He Rongren, he felt the joy.

The camp was extremely chaotic, with many people fighting for tents and other items, but there was no fighting, just noise.

Someone pointed in a general direction, Xu Ji walked through the camp to find Chang Yanzhi, for some reason, although he was relieved, he didn't have much joy, as if he was also an enemy soldier who had mixed in.

After questioning seven or eight people one after another, Xu Ji finally found Chang Yanzhi's territory.

"General Chang is dead." The soldier guarding the territory replied, and then looked Xu Ji up and down, "Are you from here?" Why haven't I met, who is the boss? ”

Xu Ji was stunned for a moment, "Where is the body?" ”

"I don't know, it's General Tong who is in charge now - what's your name? Whose soldier is it? ”

"Where is General Song?"

"Tell me who you are."

Xu Ji turned around and walked away, and the soldiers shouted a few times behind, but they didn't catch up.

Chang Yanzhi has not been a general in the Ning army for a long time, and he has not yet cultivated loyal subordinates, and his death is not shocked.

Xu Ji asked a few more people, and soon found Song Zhuzhu's territory, and was also questioned by the soldiers.

"My name is Yu Zhan, I was originally a classmate of General Song, and now I am his staff." Xu Ji did not say his real name.

"Yu Zhan? I haven't heard of it, but you look like a scholar, go in first, find a place to rest, General Song has a celebration banquet at King Ning's side, and I will not be able to see you staff until tomorrow. ”

Xu Ji asked for nothing else.

Although the whole battalion was in chaos, after entering the various territories, the investigation was extremely severe, and several officers had never heard of the name "Yu Zhan", so they couldn't help but be vigilant and sent him to the boss's account.

Dai Pohu was drinking with a group of people, and when he saw Xu Ji coming in, he couldn't help but be surprised, and immediately put down the bowl to welcome him.

"Scholar Yu Zhan has met General Dai."

The word "Xu" was already on his lips, and Dai Pohu swallowed it back, "Ah, Yu Gongzi...... You okay? ”

Dai Pohu recognized this person, and the officer relieved himself and took his leave.

Dai Pohu turned around and confessed, and immediately took Xu Ji to an empty tent, "I was wronged that Mr. Xu stayed here for one night, and I didn't see Mr. Xu when I counted the number of people, and I thought it was ...... Why did Mr. Xu ......"

"I don't want anyone to know I'm alive for a while."

"Understood, I'm not going to leak secrets, I'm going to get some wine and meat."

"Thank you, General Dai." Xu Ji was indeed hungry.

Dai Pohu quickly personally sent some food, a large bowl of wine with a large piece of meat, and after Xu Ji thanked him again, he asked, "Chang Yanzhi's body has been brought back?" ”

Dai Pohu said gloomily: "General Chang unfortunately died, and his body was taken away by King Ning, saying that he was going to be buried with other fallen generals. ”

Xu Ji sighed, "General Dai is going to drink at the bar, I want to sleep for a while after eating myself." ”

"Mr. Xu seems to be injured, do you want me to find someone to come and have a look?"

"No, just get some sleep."

Dai Pohu bowed his hand and took his leave.

Xu Ji only ate two pieces of meat and a sip of wine, lay on the bunk with his clothes together, and fell asleep quickly, and when he woke up again, there was light outside the tent, and his heart was still like a pool of stagnant water, no sorrow or joy, although he survived, it seemed that something was left on the occupation field, and he could never find it back.

"Mr. Xu is awake." Song Zhuzhu lifted the curtain and came in, and said with a smile that there were no injuries on his body.

"Can General Song stand alone?" Xu Ji asked directly, no longer caring about how to win yesterday's battle.

Song Zhuzhu was slightly stunned, "King Ning allowed me to lead my troops across the river and go to pacify Hunan and Guangzhou, which is to send me to a barren land." ”

"General Song must take Yizhou first." Xu Jidao, at least one thing he has found back - the general trend of the world.
