At this time, it was almost dark, the sky was still pouring rain and rain, the battle under the mountain was becoming more and more tragic, the plains and hills were as far as the eye could see, full of corpses and stumps and broken arms, and the fires were burning everywhere, some of which were extinguished by the rain, turned into billowing smoke, and filled the battlefield with rivers of blood, making this extremely cruel battle more and more hazy, just like the state of mind of the soldiers when they fought bloodily.

What is this war for?

When the soldier opened his frightened eyes and fell to the ground weakly, his whole body convulsed, the general of the Xiaowu Army quickly drew his knife and slashed through the neck of the Praetorian Guard soldier mercilessly, and then he quickly turned around and pounced on another Praetorian Guard soldier.

After slaying several enemies with his bloody courage, the lieutenant stood up straight, stretched out his blood-stained hand, held the helmet on his head, and opened his confused eyes to scan the sound of fighting around him that had gradually faded away. Then he gritted his teeth, wiped the blood stains on his face, spat on the ground again, put away the knife, turned around and rushed to Shaowu Hengyong's military tent.

"Your Highness, Your Highness......" The adjutant general staggered and knelt on the grass in front of the military tent, crying out in mourning.

"What?"

The soft curtain of the military tent was lifted, and Shaowu Hengyong's cold face appeared in front of him.

"Your Highness...... Withdraw, Your Highness! The brothers have suffered heavy casualties, they can't stop it, now our army has less than 10,000 troops, although there are not many enemy troops, but if it goes on like this, we really can't afford to lose, Your Highness, let's withdraw, the brothers have been robed for many years, and the last general can't watch them die, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, we just need one night, wait for this heavy rain to stop, Your Highness ......"

The deputy general knelt in front of Shaowu Hengyong, and the five-foot-tall man cried with tears on his face, wailing in grief.

"Poof......

The blade, which flashed with a cold and cold light, quickly slashed through the neck of the lieutenant general, and then disappeared. The adjutant general's wailing stopped, his eyes widened, staring at Shaowu Hengyong's sneering face in disbelief, and a trace of blood soon appeared on his neck, and then the blood marks became wider and deeper, and the scarlet and even steaming blood flowed out.

The lieutenant's body trembled a few times, and then he fell softly at the feet of Shaowu Hengyong, his hands tightly grasping the grass on the grass, his knuckles gradually whitened, as if full of unwillingness and resentment, and then gradually let go, and the whole person was silent.

"If there is anyone who slows down the heart of our army, cut it!" Facing the numb faces of the soldiers outside the tent, Shaowu Hengyong said this coldly. Then he turned his head sideways, looked to the north of the incense burning platform, and said lightly: "Order the whole army, grit your teeth and resist until the last moment, - the moment when Lone is about to succeed!" ”

Shaowu Hengyong knew very well in his heart, he understood what he was doing, he was not dizzy, killing in battle would be a taboo for soldiers, but he had to do this, he knew that if he couldn't take the incense burning platform tonight, it would only take a day's work, and he couldn't say that the army of King Qinwang in the imperial capital would burn the incense platform, and then the variables would be big, if that scene really appeared, Shao Wuqing did not die, and it was possible that he died.

Now the rain is like falling, the road is extremely muddy, it can be said that it is extremely unfavorable for the Xiaowu army attacking the mountain, but he has no choice, he can't retreat, now there are not many Janissaries on the mountain, if they are given a chance to repair, plus the road is slippery in this rainy day, he really has no hope at all.

The Xiaowu army that rushed in front seemed to have some intention of retreating, but in the military formation behind, the war drums sounded loudly. More of the warrior army rushed out, driven by the warlords, and desperately crowded forward.

"Don't quit! No Return!! Those who take a step back will be killed! ”

A small commander of the Xiaowu army roared hard in the darkness, and after cutting off the heads of several retreating soldiers, the retreat was suddenly stopped.

The Xiaowu army crowded on the mountain road could only raise their shields to resist the arrows on the mountain, and at the same time, in the gaps in the shields, they used their bows and arrows to shoot back at them.

In the stalemate, almost every second, someone screamed and fell into the river, above the mountain. The screams of the defenders who fell from above were also one after another. The elite warriors of the Xiaowu army rushed up and pushed the somewhat charred catapult on the top of the mountain with all their might, and several brave men who were not afraid of death almost threw themselves directly into the crowd, and forcibly pushed the smoking catapult aside with their flesh and blood.

The soldiers of the Xiaowu Army in the back rushed up again, dozens of people held the desperate heart of death, and the soldiers on both sides continued to attack the mountain under the cover of holding their shields high. This battle only lasted for half an hour, and the Xiaowu army lost at least more than a thousand!

With such heavy casualties, if it had been in the past, these warrior armies would have retreated. But tonight. Shaowu Hengyong personally stood in front of the formation, the supervising team around him was lined up with knives in their hands, they didn't dare to take a step back, moving forward was death, retreating was death, the Xiaowu army under the mountain was about to be driven crazy!

At this time, Yue Hu also led a lot of people and horses to charge frantically at the other end of the incense burning platform, he didn't know that Chen Jing under his command had died at the foot of the mountain, and he also didn't know that the veteran he once admired fell in a pool of blood, he only had one thought, that is, to protect his wife and children and kill Shao Wuqing!

The fighting and screaming in front of him were shocking, but Shaowu Heng's expression was resolute, and he didn't even loosen his brows, just gritted his teeth and drove one battalion after another to the huge meat grinder in front of him!

One battalion after another of the soldiers were filled, and the competition on the mountain road and down the hill was extremely fierce, and the battalion went up to almost a moment before it was wiped out.

However, an hour later, at least two battalions of the Xiaowu Army were no longer formed. The Xiaowu army has been attacking the mountain for nearly half a day, except for the few hours when the mountain is besieged, it has not been able to show such a strong and resolute fighting spirit for a long time.

Shaowu Hengyong stood there, his face pale, just watching the battalions around him rush forward one by one, his teeth were gritted, and he screamed wildly in his heart: "Not enough!" Inadequate! Still not enough!! ”

After a whole hour of fierce fighting, the mountain road has become a hell of flesh and blood, the trees on both sides have also been stained red with blood, the flames on the mountain have turned into thick smoke, and the Xiaowu army has dropped hundreds of corpses and cannot attack it, I don't know how many fierce and brave warriors on weekdays have turned into cold corpses in this square inch.

The rain of arrows shot down from the mountain almost filled the battlefield, as if it had become a field of feather forests and wheat!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

A burly lieutenant general beside Shaowu Hengyong looked anxious, grabbed Shaowu Hengyong's clothes by his side, and said in an anxious whisper: "Your Highness! If this can't be done, let the people in front of you retreat first! We've already filled in nearly 10,000 people! These are our old roots. It's all your elite! ”

The man looked anxious, and he was about to kneel on the ground, he was not brought out by Yue Hu single-handedly, but from the very beginning, he was inserted into the Xiaowu Army by Shaowu Hengyong, so at this time, he also dared to say it to Shaowu Hengyong.

Shaowu Hengyong just frowned, didn't look at the person next to him, and said coldly: "Bazi Battalion, transfer up!" ”

The deputy general next to him was stunned, looked at Shaowu Hengyong, and suddenly shouted, "Your Highness!" It's all our people! If our army is exhausted here, it will ...... in the future."

"Shut up!!" Shaowu Hengyong turned his head suddenly, his face was pale, and the green tendons on his head were even more violent, and he shouted at this person categorically: "In the future!" Future fart! If we can't capture the incense burner, where will we have a future!! No matter how many people die, as long as this battle is fought, more troops will always be gathered in the future! Where are the immortals in war! You coward, have you been living too many days in solitude? Running out of courage? ”

This general was angrily reprimanded by Shaowu Hengyong, his cheeks were red, his eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, I am not afraid of death!" Just look! The heavy rain is like a note, the soldiers have already retreated, our men and horses are not too many, if your soldiers are all exhausted, this incense burning platform ......"

"Shut up!"

Shaowu Hengyong suddenly pulled out his long sword and slashed it fiercely, and shouted: "Shaowu Qing will not die for a day, I will not be able to sleep and eat, if I wait until King Qin's army arrives, everything will be over, so tonight is where the victory or defeat lies!" Don't you understand! If we don't win tonight, all of us will die! In the future, in the future! If we don't win tonight, we won't have a future! Above! Give it all to me! The overseer team rushed up, and if there is a retreat, no matter what position in the army, the cube is cut small, and you don't need to report to me! ”

The general's face sank, and he suddenly took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I have been serving you for ten years, and I will hand over this life to you today!" I can't serve by your side in the future, I hope your highness takes care! ”

Shaowu Hengyong's face changed, and he glanced at the general. This man is the most trusted and powerful military general around him, and he said such things at this moment. Shaowu Hengyong's heart sank, but he hesitated for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!" You're on! If you die, your wife and children will feed you alone, and you ...... Go with confidence! ”

The military general shouted loudly to the sky, took a heavy iron spear from the personal guard beside him, and rode his horse and led the people to rush forward. He led hundreds of people to rush up, head-on under the dense rain of arrows, and when he rushed to the hillside, the people around him were already less than half, and the general turned over and dismounted. Crashed directly into the mountain road, and under the efforts of the subordinates around him to open the way, he rushed across the mountain road to the bottom of the mountain in one go.

"Get out of the way!"

A loud shout is like a thunderbolt!

This military general was dressed in iron armor, with a majestic figure, holding the heavy iron spear in both hands, the iron spear was poured with a large amount of fire oil, and was led by the fire, even though it was pouring rain, but it was also burning extremely happily, and he rushed out of the crowd directly, and hit the Praetorian Guard on the mountain head is a blow! In the midst of that roar, a red light suddenly burst out from his whole body and on the iron spear in his hand, and the fire soared to the sky, burning people's cheeks!

The iron spear in his hand was like holding a huge torch, and it hit dozens of people on the head! Rumble! This loud bang suddenly shook the people around him, and the shaking movement. It was as if the dozens of people were shaking violently!

The iron spear struck the combined shield on the top of the mountain, and suddenly the front half of the iron spear made of fine iron had been completely shattered! The light of the fire and the light of the stars melted together, and it was impossible to distinguish each other!

The defenders on the top of the hill also felt the fierce bombardment under their feet, as if they could clearly feel the vibration from the soles of their feet standing on the top of the mountain.

This earth-shattering blow immediately made the defenders on the mountain nervous, and the generals in command shouted: "Archer! Archers aim for mountain trails! Kill that man! Kill him! Kill him!! ”

In the chaos, I don't know how many strong crossbows were hastily transferred, and they aimed at the tall figure at the end of the mountain road. The sound of breaking the sky fell, and the military general standing at the foot of the mountain was suddenly hit by several arrows!

Although he was wearing iron armor, there were still several armor-piercing iron arrows piercing his armor! This guy was also really brave, and shouted: "Shieldman! ”

Behind him, a soldier of the Xiaowu Army rushed forward and raised his shield to shield him. The general took a deep breath, half of his body was already stained with blood, but he roared again, threw away half of the iron spear in his hand, and desperately killed the mountain.

"Kill!"

He roared in despair, and finally rushed away from a bloody road, and before he could stand firmly, he fell to the ground again, with limited manpower, he had no choice!

"Archers - put!"

……

The heavy rain was like a note, it kept falling, and it never stopped, at this time on the altar of heaven on the incense burning platform, Shao Wuqing's figure was gone, and after he paid tribute to Yu Wenze, he immediately went to another place, that place he never wanted to leave.

"Ahem...... It's a really hard road! ”

On the incense burning platform, on a secluded path, two people dressed in rain walked forward in the mud puddle one foot deep and one foot shallow, the leader of the man has been silent, but his face is quite sad, but the person next to him is casually spitting, looking very distressed.

"It's good that we can touch it here, by the way, is the location that the old man pointed us to here?"

Hearing the noise on the side, the man in the lead frowned, then turned back and wiped the rain from his face.

"Well, general, it's coming, the position that the old man is referring to is already very close to here, and it should be in front!"

"Let's go!"

Hearing that it was almost there, the man at the head was in good spirits, and then quickened his pace, and continued to walk towards the forest, and after a short period of travel, he heard a crisp sound of flowing water enter his eardrums, and a small clear and shallow stream appeared in front of him, which actually flowed down from the mountain. Tracing the river, the first thing that catches your eye is a moss-covered mossy mound, nestled on the side of the stream spring and the side of the bamboo forest.

When the man saw this green mound, he immediately stopped, and somehow, he felt a kind of sadness, and for some reason, he could no longer move a step.

"General, this is it!"

The man in the back finally stopped the noise and only reminded in a low voice.

"Drip ...... Drip ......"

The rain seemed to have lightened a little, and around the grave, there was still some ashes, and some food that was already cold, and it was clear that this was already worshipped.

"Gurgle......

The forest was quiet, and the man finally moved, and every step was heavy as if he had put on a shackle.

"Sumaguan ......"

His voice trembled slightly, and he was a little choked, but he still read it, this is it, Su Wan...... Su Wan, here, is it his biological mother who is buried?

This person, naturally, is Liu Fan, inexplicably, Liu Fan's nose was a little sour, and then at the first time, he knelt down, two lines of tears came out of the eyes, he was sentimental for some reason, but it was heartache, inexplicable heartache, he was used to wandering, used to not having his mother's advice, but he could never get used to it, he was a fatherless and motherless person.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the child wants to raise but does not wait, how painful!

"Mother...... Mother's ......"

How awkward these two words were in the face of a cold stone slab, but Liu Fan's heart was like a knife, countless times than saying these two words in a dream, but he could only say it to a cold corpse.

At this moment, Shao Wuqing, who was depressed, was also walking slowly here, and there was no place to vent the depression in his heart, and he could only say that Yu Suwan listened.

It didn't take long for him to get closer to here, Liu Fa knelt in front of the grave, his mind was blank, should he be sad, why should he be sad, he was suddenly confused.

His knees were completely soaked, and his knees in the mud were full of cold, but Liu Fa couldn't feel it anymore, and Han Ju didn't say a word, just looked at Liu Fa's back in a complicated way, he suddenly regretted a little, perhaps, he shouldn't have come to Dijing, he didn't know what was going on, but he could obviously feel the changes in Liu Fa, compared with Liu Fa in the Southern Prison, it could be said that it was a world of difference.

"Huh?"

Although it was dark in the forest, Shao Wuqing's eyes were extremely bright, he heard the movement here from a distance, and couldn't help but move in his heart, could it be a rebel, thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little worried, if it was really as he thought, he was afraid that he would be in a desperate situation now.

Advance or retreat?

Shao Wuqing looked at the tomb of Su Wan in the distance, thought about it for a long time, and was even more entangled in his heart, and finally, he decided to come over and take a look at who was here.

He didn't speak, just cautiously leaned over here, until he approached Su Wan's tomb, he stopped, and couldn't help but suddenly let out a long breath, he only saw two people, one standing, one kneeling.

At this moment, he wondered again, how could anyone come here, could it be that these two people also worship Su Wan, but, after twenty years, who else will remember, is it someone from the Su family?
