Chapter Forty-Six: Remembrance

A small colonel entered the tent and played a report on one knee to Yan Feng, who was concentrating on checking the military newspaper in the tent; "General Bing, the search for a hundred miles around Suiyang has been completed, and no one has been found that the general is looking for"

Yan Feng's brows furrowed again, although this answer was already in his expectation, he still didn't give up on asking; "But have you looked closely? Maybe they changed their clothes."

"General Bing, Suiyang has long been surrounded by scorched earth, with rotting corpses all over the field, and within a hundred miles, it is deserted."

"Got it, let's go down" Yan Feng ordered the little colonel to retreat, but he was holding his forehead, and there was a faint look of pain on his resolute face, and his memory slowly returned to more than a month ago.

On that day, Yan Feng frantically urged the war horse and galloped for dozens of miles, but he didn't know what God wanted, the war horse actually foamed at the mouth in the middle of the road, and threw Yan Feng out of the horse's back for several feet, and when Yan Feng got up, he saw that the war horse had fallen to the ground and died. At this time, there is still a considerable distance from Suiyang City.

Yan Feng had to run all the way, unloading the iron armor on his body while running, and finally there was only a long knife with a cold flash, however, the manpower was sometimes exhausted, at noon, the scorching sun was on his head, Yan Feng ran straight and his mouth was dry, but thinking of what Guo Ziyi said, the rebels would attack the city at noon, and still endured the discomfort everywhere in his body and ran towards Suiyang, fortunately, in his more than ten years of military career, he created a sonorous man, and ran for two or three hours in one breath, but even so, Yan Feng's running speed was still getting slower and slower, In the end, he had to stop, his legs were weak and he fell to the ground and gasped for breath, at this time, he heard the sound of horses' hooves galloping behind him, Yan Feng looked back vigilantly, it was a small group of elite cavalry, there were 100 people, looking at the armor style, it was Guo Ziyi's Shuo Fang army, Yan Feng immediately stood up with a long knife and stiff legs, and looked at the person with a vigilant face, after all, he didn't know whether Guo Ziyi was the same as Li Jiao, the king of Chu.

In front of Yan Feng, a person who looked like a captain in the lead hurriedly reined in the war horse, jumped off the horse, and bowed to Yan Feng; "General Yan, the boss ordered us to protect the general! Please drape! As he spoke, a cavalryman behind him held a large bundle of black things and put them in front of Yan Feng, which turned out to be the battle armor that Yan Feng threw away on the road! Yan Feng, who saw it, was stunned and surprised, but he also took over the battle armor and put it on himself.

The lieutenant took his horse and handed the bridle to Yan Feng, who was wearing the armor; "General, please ride this horse, it should be faster!"

"Thanks, but... Why do you help me so much" Although Yan Feng was still frowning slightly, there were still three points of gratitude in his tone.

"Guo Shuai once said that the general fought in the northern Xinjiang that year, made outstanding contributions, and tried to protect the peace of the northern border of the Tang Dynasty for several years, and then he was not arrogant, and was willing to retreat to Yuhang, this state of mind at such an age is really rare, and his age is immeasurable, so none of us in the Shuofang army admire the general, not to mention a mere horse, that is, to pay for his life, we are also endless, willing to lead the horse for the general, but the general's horse is the first to see!"

All the troops dismounted one after another, and bowed their hands to Yan Feng in unison, "But the general's horse is the first to look forward!" ”

Yan Feng saw that all the troops were full of perseverance, their eyes were firm, and they didn't seem to be vain, so his heart immediately became hot, and his impression of Guo Ziyi also improved greatly.

However, the situation was critical, and Yan Feng didn't care about being polite, so he jumped on the horse and said a word; "Thank you very much!" Then he shouted, "Drive!" The war horse shook off its hooves and galloped towards Suiyang, and more than 100 cavalry of the Shuofang Army followed closely on horseback.

When the group rushed to the vicinity of Suiyang City, it seemed that it was already sunset.

"This..."Before he crossed the mountain, Yan Feng saw the thick smoke in the sky above the direction of Suiyang, and when he crossed the mountain, the vision made Yan Feng's heart suddenly tighten.

"What a battle this is..."

The Suiyang city wall, which was originally several zhang high, has collapsed and broken at this moment, and it is more than half shorter, and on the thick city wall, thousands of crossbow arrows with the thickness of the mouth are still firmly embedded in it. The buildings at the head of the city have long been gone, and the ancient city of Suiyang, which has been at the gateway of Huainan for hundreds of years, has been burned into ruins by the raging fire. In the battlefield outside the city, it was also quiet at the moment, and the quiet was terrifying, and the disgusting bloody atmosphere was so bad that the hovering crows couldn't bear to fall.

Yan Feng urged the war horse and cautiously walked into the Suiyang battlefield like Shura's hell.

Like the remnants of the sun, reflecting this lifeless land, the condensed plasma reflected in the setting sun, reflecting the color as deep as wine, and there was still blood surging around, struggling desperately, as if trying to get rid of the fate of drying up and coagulation... Countless corpses, forever rested here, among the chaotic corpses, hundreds of corpses of soldiers in silver armor are particularly eye-catching, each soldier around, all of them are stacked with the corpses of the rebels, it can be seen how heroic they were in life, but although they have armor and body, but they are still pierced through the joints by various weapons, the head and neck and other places that cannot be guarded, fixed there, many people's heads and faces were smashed into a mess of mud by heavy objects, flesh and blood are blurred, and a few faces are actually nailed with crossbow arrows, The soldier's face was nailed to his face forever... Yan Feng couldn't bear to look at it and knew that these soldiers were the Xuanjia Battalion that he had trained and had terrified tens of thousands of barbarians in northern Xinjiang.

In the place in front, the corpses are piled up like a mountain, and the city is surrounded in a circle, which shows that there was once a fierce general among them. Yan Feng had to pray, the corpse in the circle must not be any of his best friends.

However, inside the circle, there is nothing. There were only a few blood-stained spears, nailed straight to the ground.

The same is true of the rest of the empty fields, full of corpses, but the people who are most worried are not among them, could it be that they all escaped? Yan Feng couldn't help but think.

After a while, the captain came to report that the rebels had abandoned Suiyang and went straight down to Jianghuai. There was not a single soldier in the city at the moment, but some were densely hung on the central bronze pillar, thirty-six heads. and the corpses of the people, which were indefatigable and piled up like a mountain in the city.

Yan Feng carefully inspected the hanging heads on the copper pillar in horror, Zhang Xun, Xu Yuan, Nan Jiyun... Thirty-six Suiyang loyal martyrs are fighting to the death and not surrendering! However, Qin Wei Bai Yu and the others were not among them, Yan Feng breathed a sigh of relief, but he suddenly knelt on the ground against the copper pillar, grabbed the blade of the long knife that was cold and clear, and drops of blood suddenly slipped down the blade.

"I, Yan Feng, spill blood here and swear! The rebellion will be swept away and the prestige of the Tang Dynasty will be revitalized! He is the head of the bloody thief every day, and he comes to pay tribute to the generals! "A roar, it was really a heartfelt word, and the arrogance was soaring, and all the horsemen behind him also knelt on the ground and shouted in unison;" Willing to serve the general! ”

……

"Yan Feng? Yan Feng? I don't know when, Ning Shu quietly entered the tent, and saw that Yan Feng was looking at the bamboo slip intently, so he tiptoed over, wanting to surprise him, but when he walked to his side, he found that Yan Feng was actually out of his mind, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he had to push it gently, which called Yan Feng out of his painful memories.

"The county lord... Here it is, huh? What are you? When he saw Ning Shu's outfit, Yan Feng's eyes widened in shock, Ning Shu at this moment turned out to be wearing a military uniform!

"Yan Feng... Am I good-looking?"

I saw Ning Shu wearing a silver crown on his head, the green silk was tied high behind his head, and a touch of bangs intentionally or unintentionally covered his sideburns, adding three points of heroism to his originally Chu Chu moving face, wearing a collar of bright silver chest armor, a red robe with flowers, cut quite well, the soft silver belt was tightly tied, and Ning Shu's delicate willow waist was carved just right, and a pair of over-the-knee bright silver-tipped military boots outlined the perfect curve of Ning Shu's legs. What surprised Yan Feng even more was that Ning Shu was still carrying a carved bright silver spear in his hand! The sassy and heroic posture made Yan Feng also stagnate.

"The county lord... You are..."

"How! Wang Mei's appearance, General Yan is still satisfied? This is specially made by this king to build the armor of the thousand cavalry according to the standard armor of the thousand cavalry, and it is specially worn by female generals! ”

It was Li Jiao who lifted the curtain and walked into the tent.

Hearing this, Yan Feng frowned and said coldly; "Your Highness, the county lord doesn't know martial arts, what do you mean? Do you want her to attack the city too? ”

Li Jiao smiled, her eyes bloomed, "Where is it, it is Wang Mei who is thinking about the general, saying that the general is unhappy day and night, and he should miss his old friend, so he took the initiative to ask this king to customize clothes and armor for her, but listening to what the general said, this king seems to have done something wrong again?" Speaking of which, there was a faint sense of anger.

"Brother Wang doesn't blame you!" Ning Shu hurriedly said, then blocked in front of Yan Feng, waving the spear in his hand, "Yan Feng, I know you miss them, so I pretended to be a thousand cavalry, didn't your friend Qin Wei use a gun, you see, I'm not bad!" As she spoke, she danced the spear in her hand, but she had no skills, how could she dance, she pulled her wrist in only two strokes, and the painful spear suddenly fell off her hand and fell to the ground.

"County Lord! This is a military camp, please don't mess around! Yan Feng was sullen, and when he saw Li Jiao's eyebrows and eyes smiling, he was even more angry, and his tone when he said this was inevitably heavier, and Ning Shu didn't have good intentions, besides, this battle armor was also dozens of catties, and he stood for a long time and was in pain everywhere, and he was originally crooked enough, no, his hand was twisted, not to mention, he was reprimanded by Yan Feng, his heart was sour, and his face suddenly burst into tears.

"Didn't I see that you were unhappy and wanted to coax you, do you need this? What am I doing wrong? After saying that, he no longer ignored the spear on the ground, covered his mouth and sobbed and ran out of the camp.

"Tut-tut, general, this is not good, Sister Wang is also well-intentioned..."

"Your Highness!" Yan Feng interrupted him suddenly, got up suddenly, picked up the battle helmet on the side, and glanced at Li Jiao coldly

"Children's personal affairs should not be mentioned in the army! The last general is going to attack Luoyang, Your Highness please leave quickly, so as not to hurt Wanjin's body! With that, he strode out of the tent without looking back.

"Okay, you Yan Feng... This king doesn't believe that he can't control you, let's see, hehe" Li Jiao's eyes flashed, but a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

……

At the top of Taihua Mountain, the sky is blooming, the peak of the seven peaks, the light is flourishing at this moment, and in the blink of an eye, a bronze giant harrier rises in each of the five peaks, and then it is steadily heading towards the Wuji Peak in the center.

Under the Xuanxu Mound, in an extremely cold ice cave, there are several ice walls that have not been melted for many years, and in one of them, there is a peerless beauty frozen in the ice.

If someone approaches at this time, they will find that this sleeping body actually slowly raises the corners of its mouth and laughs mysteriously softly. It was a beautiful laughter, but in the empty ice cave, it was a little cool...

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next time.
