Chapter Ninety-Five: Stealth
As soon as his feet stepped on this cliff, Wei Ziyang felt a force to drag himself down, kept his feet slightly squatting, tightened his felt skin, and slid down here, and in a blink of an eye, he disappeared between the clouds and mist, and disappeared.
When the soldiers on the cliff saw it, they were also ruthless at the moment, and they jumped down one after another like Wei Ziyang just now. There is enough space between each soldier to minimize casualties.
Wei Ziyang took the lead, his body fell straight down, and he heard the sound of the winter wind whistling by, the wind cut his face like a knife, making himself very annoyed, plus it was noon, and the strong light of the sun penetrated the obscurations of the clouds and sprinkled on the cliff, so that Wei Ziyang could hardly open his eyes.
After a while, I saw that vines and cliffs finally appeared on the cliff, and at the moment my heart was cold, that is, I hurriedly stretched out my hand to grab the vine while falling at high speed, and my hand was able to grab the vine, but the body was still falling, and the small thorns on the vine suddenly pounded Wei Ziyang's palm with blood, and it was miserable, but Wei Ziyang didn't dare to let go, only desperately grabbed the vine, and at the same time his body swung slightly to that side, and the other hand also quickly grabbed a rock on the cliff, That's what keeps the body hanging in the air.
The soldiers above also followed Wei Ziyang's appearance and hung their bodies in the air. Of course, there will always be unlucky people in the army, and these few soldiers just didn't grasp the vine with their hands, or the vine they grabbed was too thin to bear their weight, and as soon as they grabbed it, they pulled the vine off, and their bodies fell straight down like a kite with a broken string, and disappeared.
Only the creepy screams echoed through the valleys.
When Wei Ziyang saw this scene, he also frowned, and once again raised his head to the top and admonished: "Tell everyone to be careful, this time it can't be compared to the past, if you are not careful, your life will be lost." ”
When the soldiers heard this, their hearts tightened, and they were even more cautious at the moment, and they didn't even dare to move their fingers.
Wei Ziyang settled down, he took a deep breath, and slowly descended to the bottom of the valley again, every time he slipped a distance, he pulled the vine in his hand with his hand, and only climbed down again after confirming that the vine was very firm, if he found that the vine was the same, he hurriedly followed the steep cliff, replaced with another thicker and stronger vine, and then endured the pain of drilling into the palm of his hand and slid down.
Heaven and earth are shrouded in the white mist of this mountain, like a milky white veil, blocking everyone's sight, and as if a very thick and spacious curtain has descended from the sky, giving people a sense of mystery; The fog is ethereal in the mountains, like a painter splashing ink, the fog wanders in the mountains, like a calligrapher's crazy pen, the original mountains and rivers, people and things, as if they are all surrounded by this fog, become a painting, become a touch of brush; Wei Ziyang was in this fog, in addition to being nervous, he actually had a feeling of wanting to return with the wind.
Everyone climbed for a while, and finally saw that the fog covering the mountain was gradually thinning and dissolving, and in the sky, a slight breeze floated in the sky, and the mist spread out like a corner rolled up. Suddenly the heavens and the earth became cool and clear, and the sun that hung high shone straight rays, piercing through the mist that was about to dissipate, and striking on the people, making people feel very comfortable. In this sunshine, the fog is cloudy and rolled, silk is wisps, light and agile, slow and elegant, quietly rising in this firmament, quietly going away.
Wei Ziyang just crawled quietly, looking at the sky obsessively while crawling, and when he saw the change in the mist, he unconsciously lost his mind slightly.
"General, General, we're almost there." Before Wei Ziyang could come back to his senses, he heard Li Dali, who was a few feet above him, shouting to himself.
When Wei Ziyang heard Li Dali's words, he frowned, just looked down, and then he finally saw the star-like villages sitting on the earth one after another, a few blue birds flying in the distance, and some cooking smoke rising, like a floating curtain for a while, and like a smart wind for a while.
Wei Ziyang estimated in his heart that this should be the foot of the Heishui Mountain, so he and the others had already crossed the steep Heishui Mountain?
Finally, he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and said to the soldiers above in a deep voice: "Everyone, work harder, it's almost there." ”
-----------------
At this time, on the battlefield of Tongguan, the battle has obviously entered a white-hot stage.
The black clouds slowly approached the sky, and the blood-red smell permeated the dead and desolate battlefield, and the sword shadows and sword lights that had just dissipated would reappear, and the shouts of the battle stimulated the blood of every soldier, and also hit their hot and solid hearts.
Tongguan closed and closed, everywhere you could see the mountains of corpses and hideous bloodstains, at this time the generals on both sides were exhausted, and the heavy killing atmosphere made people breathless.
Zhou Feng frowned tightly and looked towards the pass, only to see one after another Wei soldiers rushing towards the pass on the ladder, but almost in an instant, they were killed by the Qin soldiers, falling from that height, and shattering their bones.
Squinted his eyes for a while, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and turned to meet Mei Jingting's eyes.
Mei Jingting's eyes were clear and bright, and there was a cold air in his eyes, he looked at Zhou Feng, and said in a deep voice: "General Zhou, a strong attack is not a way, our army's casualties are too great, and now we should quickly withdraw our troops." ”
When Zhou Feng heard this, he frowned even more, and looked up at Qin Shuang on the wall again, and finally shouted at the top of his voice: "Order, Mingjin withdraw the troops!" ”
When the Wei soldiers were fighting bravely to kill the enemy, they suddenly heard the signal from the base camp that Mingjin had withdrawn their troops, and they were also retreating to the back like a tide.
In an instant, the battlefield that was still a sea of blood just now turned into a ruined ruins, and the fighting and soldiers were gone, leaving only the dead soldiers who fell under the canopy of the sky and the hot heroic beacon that was still burning.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhou Feng looked sad, holding his head with his hands, silent, and the soldiers in the tent were also worried, and occasionally sighed were heard.
"Enough, sigh and sigh, like a girl, if you remember, you are the general of the Pingxi Army, and the most elite general of my Great Wei!" Zhou Feng listened to the sighs of these generals, and his heart was annoyed, and he roared violently.
The generals were obviously stunned and stunned by these words, but they had nothing to refute, the battle situation was unfavorable, and everyone's hearts were very depressed.
When Mei Jingting came in, he happened to see this group of generals being yelled at by Zhou Feng for a while, his brows were tightly locked, and he arched his hand to Zhou Feng and said, "General Zhou." ”
Zhou Feng glanced at this Mei Jingting, and also replied: "Commander Mei, let's be in the ranks." ”
Mei Jingting bowed and walked into the general's queue.
Zhou Feng waited until Mei Jingting entered the column, then stood up, paced back and forth in this tent, and said with a wry smile: "Damn, this Tongguan is really an iron pass, my Pingxi Army has lost thousands of troops, but it has not even attacked this wall." ”
As he spoke, he shook his head.
"By the way, what about Wei Ziyang?" Zhou Feng seemed to have remembered something, and looked at the general in this tent in confusion.
He found out that since he crossed the Centipede Ridge and crossed Huze, he had never seen Wei Ziyang again.
The generals below heard that Wei Ziyang was coming, you look at me, I look at you, they look confused, and they don't seem to know where Wei Ziyang went.
In fact, Wei Ziyang, as a school captain, would not have received everyone's attention, but this Wei Ziyang is a person from His Royal Highness King Xiang, and he is also the famous hero of the tiger eradication, so he naturally left an extremely deep impression in everyone's hearts.
When Zhou Feng saw that everyone looked confused, he had a plan in his heart, and then he looked at Mei Jingting, but saw Mei Jingting standing in the queue calmly, and immediately said in a cold voice: "Commander Mei, do you know the whereabouts of Wei Ziyang?" ”
When Mei Jingting heard this, he smiled faintly: "I really know it." ”
"And where is he at this time?"
"Not in the army." That Mei Jingting still had a blank face, and said slowly.
When Zhou Feng heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he said with an angry face: "What? is not in the army, he Wei Ziyang was not in the army when he was about to go to the battlefield? ”
"Commander Mei, do you know what to do with this crime of escaping?" Zhou Feng asked this Mei Jingting very loudly.
The corners of Mei Jingting's mouth twitched slightly, and he arched his hand and said: "Escaping from the battle is a capital crime." ”
"Okay, since Wei Ziyang is not in the army at this time, then he is suspected of escaping from the battle, and he should be beheaded according to the law!" Zhou Feng frowned, and said with a frosty face.
The generals below listened to Zhou Feng's words, and they also sighed in their hearts, it seemed that this Wei Ziyang could not escape this catastrophe, but he didn't have much feeling in his heart, after all, Wei Ziyang escaped from the battle, and this kind of cowardice was unbearable in any army.
Mei Jingting listened to Zhou Feng's rather excited words, shook his head and said, "General Zhou, when I say that General Wei is not in the army, it doesn't mean that he escaped from the battle. ”
"Oh?" Hearing this, Zhou Feng frowned.
Mei Jingting continued: "General Wei, at this moment, he is shouldering a heavy responsibility and is carrying out military affairs. ”
When Zhou Feng heard this, he suddenly jumped up and scolded: "Bold Mei Jingting, and dare to quibble, I am the commander of the Pingxi Army, of course I know whether he is in charge of military affairs or not, I have never said that there is any military affairs to be entrusted to him." ”
"Mei Jingting, do you dare to shield him?"
Na Mei Jingting listened to Zhou Feng's reprimand, and after smiling faintly, he immediately said: "I am not shielding General Wei, but General Wei is executing, not General Zhou's military affairs, but the military affairs of His Royal Highness King Xiang!" ”
When Zhou Feng heard this, he finally became silent, paused, and then wondered: "What military affairs?" ”
"This doesn't bother General Zhou to worry about, King Xiang's plan is not even known."
"But General Zhou doesn't have to worry, in three days, you will see." After Mei Jingting finished speaking, he showed a strange smile and looked at Zhou Feng.
When Zhou Feng heard this, he was a little stunned.
