In Jicheng Prison, Geng Tong appeared in front of one of the cages with a wine jug in each hand, and Zhu Da in the cage looked indifferent, and he couldn't see a trace of surprise: "What? With your little drink, you still want to drink a pot with me? ”

Geng Tong bent down into the cage and shook the wine jug in his left hand in front of his eyes: "Only this jug for you is wine!" You drink, I drink water! ”

Zhu Da snatched the wine jug from Geng Tong's hand: "It's good to have wine, it doesn't matter if you drink water or urine!" ”

Geng Tong tore off the cover and touched him lightly: "After more than 20 years, I didn't expect to meet you again, but this is the situation......"

Zhu Da: "It's really an accident, I thought the person squatting in prison would be you......" hesitated for a moment, "Ling Lang's matter can't stop it......"

Geng Tong sighed lightly: "Now that he has been on the battlefield, he should have such an awareness, his own skills are not as good as others, who can blame him!" It's just that I can't figure it out that you, the bear of the Hokuriku, would actually take the path of rebellion against the imperial court. ”

Zhu Da raised his eyebrows and stared, as if he was thinking about the past for many years: "It seems that you and others who have returned to Luoyang, how can you understand the unwillingness and anger in the hearts of those of us who have been forgotten by the imperial court at the border." After a pause, he continued, "A man has told me that he wants to establish a new order, and under his order, the greater the merit, the greater the glory; On the other hand, people who are immoral and incompetent have no possibility of stealing from a high position. I want to see this order with my own eyes......"

Geng Tong sneered: "Do you believe it?" ”

Zhu Da was silent for a long time: "I choose to believe...... Just give yourself a reason to fight......"

Geng Tong: "Drink!" There's no point in talking about that now! ”

Zhu Da raised his head and poured a mouthful: "Yes! Zhu has been eliminated by this battle, and the next thing is the competition between you and Sima Huaizhong. ”

Geng Tong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Sima Huaizhong? No! What is causing us a headache at the moment is the worm! ”

Zhu Da suddenly froze his figure: "Worm? ”

Geng Tong: "No wonder you are so surprised, we are still confused, why are there so many creeps all of a sudden, and all of them are ridiculously strong, Sima Huaizhong in your mouth is afraid that he has also lost his life!" ”

Zhu Da suddenly had no intention of drinking, of course he knew that Sima Huaizhong did not die at the hands of Rouranren, he disobeyed the "young master" and resolutely refused to evacuate, and Sima Huaizhong was also on his side. Now it seems that Sima Huaizhong can't resist the pressure, compromises with the "young master" and lets Rouran people enter the country. But even so, for Yuan Rui who defeated him, he would not be so sad as to this: "You and I are both people who have beaten worms, to say that more than a hundred years ago, they were indeed difficult, and now, if he dares to come, he will blow away!" ”

Geng Tong shook his head: "It's completely different!" These worms are more apt to be evil spirits than people! ”

After listening to Geng Tong's description of Rouran, Zhu Da's eyes flashed with deep doubts, he couldn't imagine that these days, it was such a group of devils who had been blocked by himself from the outside of the country, and after a long time, he suddenly raised his head and forced Geng Tong's eyes: "Old man Geng, although it will bring you a lot of trouble, I still want to ask you for a favor!" ”

Two days later, in the city of Fuyang, the Shanggu County Governor's Office, Yuan Rui was very surprised to see Geng Tong, who suddenly visited: "Didn't the old general say that he would personally escort Zhu Da and his gang back to Luoyang?" Why did you suddenly come back again? ”

Geng Tong didn't answer and asked: "Dare to ask Your Highness, where is the nearest creep at this moment?" ”

Yuan Rui: "Zhuolu City, the number of people is about 10,000!" ”

Geng Tong: "The old man actually came to intercede for Zhu Da today, this person has been stationed on the border all his life, relative to the imperial court, he hates the worm the most, he heard that the worm has entered, he wants to ask His Royal Highness to allow him to fight, 'rather than die on the execution ground in Luoyang, it is better to end his life in the fight with the worm' He said so. However, Zhu Da was captured, and he has already reported to Luoyang, if His Royal Highness is embarrassed, he will be an old man......"

Yuan Rui raised his hand to stop Geng Tong's words: "This old general doesn't have to worry, if the court blames him, he will have his own king." In fact, it is not impossible to fulfill his wish, but what this king is worried about is whether this Zhuda can be trusted, and will he take the opportunity to fight back? ”

Geng Tong was categorical: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry about this, although Zhu Da is subordinate to the rebels, he is by no means a villain, this person has a strong sense of honor, and if he goes back on his word, even if he dies, he will not do it!" ”

Yuan Rui nodded: "To get such an evaluation from the old general, this king is willing to make an exception for him!" ”

A few days later, when Yuan Rui's army appeared under Zhuolu City, the Rouran people in the city were obviously very surprised, and they couldn't think of any reason to make the Wei people, who had been defeated repeatedly, take the initiative to attack again, and hurriedly went out of the city to meet the enemy.

Unlike the rush of the Rouran people, it was a different scene in the Yuan Rui army, where every soldier's heart was extremely surging, and he subconsciously clutched his spear tightly, as if he wanted to squeeze the juice out of the weapon in his hand. Their eyes did not fall on the enemy formation opposite, but focused on a group of special soldiers in their own formation.

These soldiers, all wearing white scarves, straddle white horses, and wearing mourning clothes over their armor, looked particularly dazzling in the sunlight, and they were Zhu Da and the hundreds of people who were captured with him.

"Brothers!" Zhu Da drew his long sword, "Today is our last battle, don't you regret it?" ”

The generals shouted in unison: "Swear to death and no regrets!" ”

Zhu Da nodded tearfully: "Okay!" His gaze swept to Jiang Ji, "Jiang Ji, your leg injury has not healed......"

"General!" Jiang Ji interrupted Zhu Da, "As long as the last general still has a breath, even if he bites, he will bite off a piece of wriggling meat!" ”

Ke Xiao: "Yes, General! To be able to end our lives like a soldier, we have earned it! ”

Zhu Da swallowed a mouthful of tears that flowed from his nose to his mouth: "Brothers! No matter what grievances we have with the court, we will never allow the worms to intervene in it, and if they insist on intervening, what should we do? ”

All the soldiers, including Yuan Rui's imperial army: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ”

"Kill!" With Zhu Da's shout, the wind and clouds changed color, and hundreds of white warriors pounced on the Rouran army formation, as swift as a dragon out of the water, and as brave as a tiger descending the mountain.

The hand-to-hand combat was close to each other, and there was a commotion in the Rouran camp, like a boulder thrown into the water, stirring up layers of huge waves. The strength of this group of Rouran people is obviously not as exaggerated as the first encounter of Yuan Rui, at least from their fight with Zhu Da's people, it can be seen that they do not know martial arts. However, even so, they, like the other Rouran soldiers, are in a state of euphoria that forgets their pain and only pursues killing and blood. Perhaps this state will stimulate their wildness and potential, making them even more powerful even if they are already fierce, even if Zhu Da and his gang are angry at this moment, they can't even get the slightest advantage, and it won't take long for them to be drowned in the sea of Rouran soldiers.

"Ji Dan and Gu Yuchen listen to orders! The two of you divide the left and right wings, outflank the worm from the flank, and answer Zhu Da! Infected by Zhu Da's momentum, Yuan Rui couldn't help but be enthusiastic at the moment, and secretly vowed to eat the wave of Rouran demons in front of him and rescue Zhu Da.

Ji Dan and Gu Yuchen immediately took the order and left, at this moment, in their hearts, they had completely regarded Zhu Da and his gang as brothers who shared life and death, even half a month ago, the two of them still belonged to two different camps of life and death.

The Wei army on both flanks continued to impact the Rouran army formation, although compared to the previous battles, due to the improvement of morale, the Wei army has doubled its combat strength, but in the face of the perverted skills of the Rouran people, it is still impossible to break through its defense line and enter the interior to make peace with Zhu Da.

As time passed, there were fewer and fewer Zhuda generals alive in the enemy formation. After a period of conflict, Jiang Ji suddenly turned over and fell off his horse, and because of the arrow wound on his leg, his movement was restricted, and in the blink of an eye, he was slashed five or six times by several Rouran soldiers who followed. Exhausted and with excessive blood loss, Jiang Ji's consciousness at the moment had begun to gradually blur, and he barely stretched out his bloodshot eyes, and tried to distinguish a Rouran soldier in a beast skin coat and hat among the figures swaying back and forth, and regardless of the scimitar spear, he pounced on his neck and bit it.

With a scream, a piece of the boss's flesh was ripped off the neck of the Rouran soldier, and blood flew like a fountain, no matter how much he squeezed it, it would be useless.

"So you wrigglings still know how to survive!" After saying this, Jiang Ji also fell headlong due to physical exhaustion.

"Jiang Ji!" Seeing him fall to the ground, the rebel general Ye Fengchun called out repeatedly, but at this moment of distraction, his chest and back were immediately stabbed into a hornet's nest by several Rouran soldiers.

The bloody battle continued, and gradually, some of the Rouran soldiers showed fatigue, and their attack and defense power decreased compared to before. I don't know how long it took, Zhu Da could finally vaguely hear the shouts of the Wei army in front of him, "The defense of the creeping side is weak, hurry up and rescue General Zhu Da!" ”

Zhu Da was not excited when he heard this, but showed a wry smile, seeing that a spear was stabbed in front of him at this time, he did not dodge, and with a hot and sharp pain, the spear passed through his body. With the last of his strength, Zhu Da slid down the spear to the Rouran soldier and swung his sword to cut off his head.

Zhu Da died in battle, his subordinates were almost killed and wounded, the Wei army breathed fire in their eyes, and Yuan Rui personally went into battle, directly taking the enemy's middle lane, and vowed not to give up until he killed the group of Rouran people in front of him. On the contrary, the further the Rouran people went, the worse their strength became, and the situation gradually tilted to the side of the Wei army.

However, just when Yuan Rui thought that victory was in sight, a strange sound of bells suddenly sounded in Zhuolu City behind. It's not good, it's the first wave of worms with martial arts! Now that his physical strength has long been exhausted, if he fights against this group of demons at this moment, then he doesn't want anyone on his side to leave alive.

"Retreat! Fall back! Although he couldn't wait to eat these Rouran people raw, fortunately Yuan Rui still kept his sanity at the moment and gave the order to withdraw in time, thus keeping the main force of the Wei army.

Back in Fuyang City, the Wei generals were a little indignant, and they were dumbfounded at the success of this battle, but Yuan Rui had his own different opinions, and only heard him clear his throat: "You all know that Worm will be in a state of madness when fighting, but judging from today's situation, this state may not be the nature of Worm, it should be stimulated by someone by some means that we don't know. I remember that Shangguan's predecessors had said that he was deeply surrounded by worms that day, but for some reason, they suddenly retreated. Today, too, the worms who are fighting with us are obviously disappearing little by little, and I believe that because of this, the worms in Zhuolu City will send reinforcements to meet them, otherwise if they continue to consume, they will only have a dead end! After a pause, his gaze fell on Ji Dan, "Ji Dan, how long did it take from the time our two armies fought against each other to the bell rang in the city?" ”

Ji Dan thought for a while: "One hour plus six quarters." ”

Yuan Rui: "If this king's expectation is correct, this crazy state of worming can only last for two hours at a time!" Zhu Da, Jiang Ji, Ke Xiao, Ye Fengchun, He Song...... Let us remember the names of these former adversaries, who gave their lives in exchange for this precious information! ”
