In this battle, the Vietnamese cavalry suffered nearly 1,000 casualties, especially the leopard battalion suffered heavy casualties in the frontal hard resistance to the fire department, and the whole army was filled with a taste of sorrow, and there were crying voices from time to time.

On the evening of the second day, Lin Changqing convened the generals to discuss the matter, looking at the frowning faces of the generals, Lin Changqing also sighed secretly in his heart, shook his head and said: "Everyone, extinguishing the army of the Fire Department, our army has suffered heavy casualties, so I planned to enter the road of death to rest for a while. ”

Everyone knew this, so their expressions did not change in any way, and Lin Changqing continued: "General Wang has found a way, the army will start at noon tomorrow, the scout camp will open the road, the leopard camp will be the middle army, and the wolf camp will clear the traces for the rear army." ”

Although sad, Wang Zijie, Chang Ruhai, and Sun Shaowei still bowed without the slightest hesitation: "The last general will be ordered!" ”

Glancing at everyone, Lin Changqing said in a deep voice after a short pause: "Everyone, since we have entered Mobei, we have put down life and death, and extinguished the five thousand elites of the Fire Department at the cost of more than a thousand people, this achievement is enough for me and other celebrities to have a thousand histories, and besides, dying on the battlefield is the greatest honor for us, what is there to be sad about?" Cheer up the general, tonight, see off the brothers. ”

In Lin Changqing's raised voice, all the generals shouted in unison: "The last general will be ordered!" ”

At this moment, Changshi Cao Han opened his mouth and said: "Everyone, the brothers entered the battlefield of Mobei and sacrificed their lives for the country, and they also died well, and I believe that the captain and the saint will not forget us. ”

After a pause at this, Cao Han turned his mouth and said: "But now, we are still in Mobei, you must cheer up, don't let the brothers bleed again." ”

When Cao Han's words fell, everyone had a trace of firmness on their faces, and they bowed in unison: "The last general will be ordered!" ”

Taking a deep breath, Lin Changqing said in a deep voice: "Go, see off the brothers." At the end of the words, Lin Changqing walked out of the tent first.

On the open grassland, rows of corpses make people feel the blood and tragedy that have never dispersed, and there are several piles of wood on the side, and the eyes of all the soldiers are full of reluctance and sadness.

Walking in front of the corpse, Lin Changqing glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone, the general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years. We are all soldiers, the most elite soldiers in Dachu, so we are the first to enter Mobei, so we can defeat the Ministry of Fire, so we can go down in history! ”

After a pause, Lin Changqing continued: "In this battle, 600 lives, 5,000 troops of the Fire Exchange Department, the brothers are worth it, I will give you a cup!" ”

While speaking, Lin Changqing picked up the wine glass and poured the wine on the ground, and then said: "I can't bring back the corpses of my brothers, it's the incompetence of this general, but I, Lin Changqing, swear here, that after this battle, I will send a battalion of men and horses to various places to send back the brothers' relics, military salaries, and pensions. ”

The Yue cavalry captains are all veterans, and they can't know the cruelty of this battle, and many people have the consciousness of death, so when they heard Lin Changqing's promise, all the sergeants couldn't help but be moved, and shouted in unison: "Kill, kill, kill!" ”

In the deafening shouts, Lin Changqing's heart trembled, his eyes were even hotter, and tears almost flowed out. Taking a deep breath to calm down the agitation in his heart, Lin Changqing bowed to everyone and gave a military salute, and then shouted in a deep voice: "Send off the brothers!" ”

When Lin Changqing's words fell, although the soldiers were reluctant, they endured their grief and put the corpses of their comrades on the wood. Soon, the wood was full of corpses, and they weighed on everyone's hearts like a mountain.

took a long breath, and just as Lin Changqing was about to give the order to light the fire, he looked at the silver-armored sergeant who suddenly appeared, and there was a trace of surprise in his eyes, but it was more shock, sadness, because it was Ma Zhongping who came.

Ma Zhongping was dressed neatly, his silver armor was shiny, similar and specially scrubbed, but his face was pale without a trace of blood, and he even needed someone to support him to move forward slowly.

Walking in front of Lin Changqing, Ma Zhongping knelt down and said, "The last general will meet the general and Changshi!" ”

Looking at Ma Zhongping, Lin Changqing had undisguised sadness in his eyes, and Lin Changqing didn't know what to say.

Respectfully bowed to the two, Ma Zhongping opened his mouth and said: "General Lin, Cao Changshi, the last general is seriously injured, and I am afraid that I will not be able to fight on the horse anymore, so I implore the general to agree to the last general to walk with the brothers." At the end of the words, Ma Zhongping bowed down again.

Looking at Ma Zhongping for a moment, Lin Changqing really didn't know what to say, but there were tears in his eyes that flowed uncontrollably. Taking a deep breath, Lin Changqing said as calmly as possible: "Come on, serve wine!" ”

Soon a guard brought the spirits. After staring at Ma Zhongping for a moment, Lin Changqing personally handed the wine glass to Ma Zhongping, and said in a deep voice: "Zhongping, go all the way!" ”

Looking at Lin Changqing, Ma Zhongping had reluctance in his eyes, but he laughed out loud in his mouth, and said, "The last general thanked the general!" With that, he took a drink from his glass and stood up.

Eyes swept over everyone, Cao Han, Wang Zijie, Chang Ruhai, Sun Shaowei, Ma Zhongping smiled at everyone but did not speak, just gave a military salute, and then turned to look at the brothers in the leopard camp, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Brothers, today I Ma Zhongping will no longer talk nonsense, there is an afterlife, let's be brothers again!" After speaking, Ma Zhongping pushed away the sergeant who was supporting him, and walked up the corpse mountain step by step.

Looking at Ma Zhongping, everyone was silent for a while, and many people had tears in their eyes, and the world was dead silent.

Seeing Ma Zhongping sitting down on the corpse mountain, Lin Changqing picked up a torch and walked over, and looked at Ma Zhongping for a moment, Lin Changqing finally threw the torch out, and it was a raging fire in an instant, illuminating the entire night sky, and also illuminating the crystal tears in everyone's eyes.

Chu Haoyu did not see off the soldiers, because he didn't want to show his face in front of everyone, and because he didn't want to see the scene of life and death, but he still heard everyone's shouts, saw the fire that lit up the night sky, and even saw Ma Zhongping with a smile on his face.

After a half-silence, Chu Haoyu finally didn't make a sound, and disappeared into the darkness alone.

The road of death is a nameless mountain, and when the sun dispels the darkness and scatters it on the earth, it illuminates the scene of Chu Haoyu's luck and meditation.

The calm face has no joy or sorrow, and it shines brightly in the sun, gentle and dazzling. The long black hair is tied up at will, only the two strands of long hair on the sideburns hang down and float with the breeze, free and comfortable. Dressed in coarse linen clothes, with an indifferent temperament, quiet, it seems to be connected with the mountains.

Thirty-six days after the Tianyang Decisive Operation, Chu Haoyu opened his eyes. Looking at the blazing sun like a ball of fire, Chu Haoyu's dark eyes were not a little red, and the sunlight was silent in his eyes.

Standing up, Chu Haoyu waved a long sword in his hand and began to practice swordsmanship. The Chu family's Shaoyang sword technique, the weak water sword technique of the Tibetan Sword Villa, and the Wujiguan Liangyi sword technique, everything that Chu Haoyu has seen, as long as it is the intention, they are all at his fingertips, so a set of sword techniques seems to be chaotic but extremely natural, as if it should be.

After a trip to the sword, the sun has risen to the middle of the sky. Seeing that it was almost noon, Chu Zheng, who had been standing solemnly on one side, opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Young master, it's time to go back to eat." ”

Putting away his sword and standing, looking at Chu Zheng, at this moment, Chu Haoyu suddenly had an illusion, as if Chu Da was in front of him, and he was still guarding his father's filial piety in Luoxia Mountain, everything had never happened, it was just a dream.

Taking a deep breath to suppress the illusion in his heart, Chu Haoyu nodded and said, "Let's go!" As he spoke, Chu Haoyu had already taken a step.

Following Chu Haoyu's side, Chu Zheng suddenly asked, "Young Master, why did you think of practicing swords in the past two days?" Speaking of this, Chu Zheng grinned rather embarrassedly, and then said: "In the past, when you were in the mountains, it was the old slave who forced you to practice martial arts, how do you think about practicing swords now?" Also, some time ago, when you watched the young master, you often held the old master's art of war and kept reading it, why don't you watch it now? ”

Chu Haoyu knew that Chu Zheng had been holding back this question for several days, and now he couldn't help but ask, but Chu Haoyu didn't answer immediately, but stopped and stared straight at Chu Zheng, looking at Chu Zheng's scalp.

In the end, Chu Zheng finally asked, "Young Master, what are you looking at?" ”

Staring at Chu Zheng, Chu Haoyu spat lightly: "Uncle Zheng, you are the commander of the forbidden army, tell me how my father was killed." ”

In an instant, Chu Zheng already understood why Chu Haoyu practiced swords, but he was just ...... With a long sigh, Chu Zheng didn't know how to answer, seeing this, Chu Haoyu said again: "Three years ago, Uncle Da said that I was too young to tell me, but now, I have grown up, Uncle Zheng, you should also tell me." ”

After a moment of silence, Chu Zheng finally made a decision, nodded and said, "It's okay, young master, you have grown up, and you should know." ”

At this point, Chu Zheng was silent for a while, and there was helplessness and anger on his rough face, as if he had fallen into a memory. After a long time, Chu Zheng said quietly: "That night, it was very stuffy and dry, and it made people panic, and it didn't take long for lightning and thunder to roar, and soon it rained heavily. ”

After a pause at this, Chu Zheng suddenly shouted, and said, "By the way, I remembered, that day, the master discussed with Luo Shangshu and General Fang about the conquest of Mobei, and he was busy until midnight, and on the way back to Cining Palace, an assassin broke in......"

After telling the story of what happened that night in great detail, in the end, Chu Zheng shook his head and said: "The master is a master of the Grandmaster Realm, and he has been plotted by the Heavenly Thorn, so the master strictly orders you not to tell you." ”

After a pause at this, Chu Zheng stared straight at Chu Haoyu and said, "Young Master, you have grown up, if you really want to find out the Heavenly Thorn Traitor to avenge your master, the old slave has nothing to say, but you must be careful!" ”

Taking a deep breath, Chu Haoyu didn't say much, and said, "Go back!" ”

When the two returned to the camp, a guard brought the broth. Entering Mobei, Chu Haoyu has eaten enough beef and mutton, and there are guards hunting birds and beasts for him every day.

The fish is delicious, and it is just stewed in water, and the stew is very light and refreshing. After a bowl of hot soup, Chu Haoyu said to Chu Zheng: "Uncle Zheng, you can also eat some, and give me another bowl." ”

Soon, Wu Zhenfeng returned with a bowl of fresh soup, but he came with him, as well as the silver-armored young general beside Lin Changqing.

He hugged his fists and saluted Chu Haoyu, and the silver-armored young general bowed: "General Song, my general invites you to come over." ”
