Chapter Fifty-Six: The Fall of the North
Seeing Ye Gucheng's insistence, the general became more and more anxious in his heart, glanced at Li Yue'er, instantly had an idea, and said urgently: "But commander, now that the saint is seriously injured and unable to fight again, he should focus on preserving the saint, so that the kingdom can have hope of retreating from the enemy, commander!"
Li Yue'er opened her mouth and closed it quietly, in all fairness, she didn't want Ye Gucheng to stay, because she knew very well what the ending would be when she stayed!
Ye Gucheng realized that Li Yue'er really couldn't stay, thought about it, and said in a deep voice: "Yue'er, you and Ying Long go back to the capital first, tell your sister, and say that your brother-in-law will protect the northern border." β
"Yue'er is not leaving. β
"Yue'er, don't make trouble, let's go!" Ye Gucheng couldn't help but help Li Yue'er walk towards the golden dragon.
Yue'er said. Li Yue'er suddenly broke away from Ye Gucheng, and retreated again and again: "Yue'er is not leaving." β
Ye Gucheng's face changed, and he stared at Li Yue'er tightly and said loudly: "Zhao Guiping." β
"The subordinates are here. Zhao Guiping bowed slightly.
"Fetch the reins. Ye Gucheng obviously made up his mind this time to tie Li Yue'er to the golden dragon.
Zhao Guiping's expression changed slightly, knowing what Ye Gucheng wanted, he took two steps forward quietly, and secretly removed the saber from his waist.
Li Yue'er naturally saw it clearly, and saw that Zhao Guiping made a silent gesture to her, and she didn't say anything.
Ye Gucheng couldn't hear the general's response, and turned his head angrily.
The scabbard slammed down, instantly smashing Ye Gucheng, who was caught off guard.
Ye Gucheng suddenly felt that his eyes were black, his body was weak, and he fell to the ground heavily. Zhao Guipingγγγγγγ β
Zhao Guiping saw that Ye Gucheng didn't faint with one blow, and he didn't care about the other party's angry eyes and made up another blow, and completely knocked the other party unconscious.
Roar!
The golden dragon was furious.
"Long'er, lie down, don't move, brother-in-law is fine. Li Yue'er scolded urgently.
Only then did the golden dragon retract the dragon's head indignantly and continue to lie on the ground, but his eyes were staring at Zhao Guiping.
Although the soldiers felt that Zhao Guiping was disrespectful, there was no way to do it.
Zhao Guiping knelt down and kowtowed to the unconscious Ye Gucheng: "Zhao Guiping committed the following crimes, and the crime deserves death, and I also ask the commander to allow his subordinates to retreat from the enemy and then accept the crime." β
Li Yue'er stepped forward lightly, and with the help of the female soldiers, she helped Ye Gucheng towards the golden dragon.
Roar!
When the golden dragon saw someone approaching, he burst out again and was ready to pounce.
The female soldier was suddenly startled and instinctively retreated.
"Dragon, don't!" Li Yue'er scolded urgently, and then hurriedly stopped in front of the golden dragon.
The golden dragon doesn't care about this, the dragon power is inviolable, except for Ye Gucheng and Li Yue'er, it will never allow anyone to get close, the big dragon's eyes flashed with a dangerous aura, even if Li Yue'er scolded him, he still couldn't reduce it by half a point.
Li Yue'er had no choice but to let the female soldiers retreat, and she tried her best to support Ye Gucheng to continue to the golden dragon.
Only then did the golden dragon obediently lie on the ground and let Li Yue'er slowly climb up.
Zhao Guiping watched Li Yue'er gently hug Ye Gucheng in his arms and rise up from the dragon, and said loudly: "Holy Maiden, the commander will be handed over to you, and the commander will be sent back to the royal capital safely, please!"
Li Yue'er didn't reply, because she didn't know how to speak, so she could only pretend not to hear, and the dragon flew away.
In the sky, two crystal clear tears disappeared with the wind.
Zhao Guiping slowly retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice: "Xuanyuan Qiuyue." β
"Subordinates are here!" the head of the marksman saluted quickly.
"How many arrows are left?"
"I'm afraid it's less than two thousand!"
"Then, General Ben will take you to fetch it. Zhao Guiping took a firm step.
"Yes!"
The female soldiers marched forward in unison.
The battle is still ongoing, and the army is nearly half dead and wounded, but the army of the undead is still far away, and it can be said that it is inexhaustible to kill, but what really gives the soldiers a headache is the birds, which are too numerous and too large to be prevented!
"Soldiers!" Zhao Guiping saw the soldiers preparing for battle looking at him, and continued to say in a loud voice: "Commander, you have evacuated safely! The holy woman has prayed to the gods of heaven, and the miracle will shine on the kingdom, but it will take some time! In the north, we may not be able to hold it! However, the kingdom will definitely be able to hold it! The kingdom will win!"
"The kingdom will win, the kingdom will win!" joy appeared in everyone's eyes, and the soldiers witnessed Li Yue'er's power with their own eyes, and had no doubt that if the gods were willing to send more divine envoys to the earth, the kingdom would definitely be able to tide over the crisis, and their families would be saved!
Faith, is indeed a good medicine to stimulate the morale of the army, the soldiers in the fight heard the deafening roar in the rear, but even more desperate to kill the enemy, although exhausted and incomplete, but as long as there is still a breath, did not stop waving the knife, even if some were held into the air, the body was unbalanced, but where the body has not yet suffered from the dismemberment, but where can still swing the blade, all do not hesitate to kill the undead birds around them.
The corpses of the soldiers and the undead birds kept falling in the air, like a rain of blood, all of which were tragically bloody!
Zhao Guiping's long knife pointed angrily and roared loudly: "Soldiers! Don't be afraid! They are just a group of disgusting dead things! And we are flesh and blood people! Will we be no better than a group of dead corpses when we are alive? The soldiers of Huaxia are never afraid of death, so let's let this group of monsters see what an invincible army is, what is the elite of the kingdom, use your shield, use your sword, kill me back! Let every enemy who dares to step into the north pay the price and kill!"
"Kill!"
This time, without reservation, it was pushed forward across the board.
In terms of quantitative collision, human beings may not be as good as the army of the undead, but when the military spirit, morale, fighting spirit, and belief reach the extreme, the army advances the corpse tide inch by inch.
Even crossbowmen and archers took the opportunity to pull out their feathers from the undead and use them again, of course, their targets were birds of the sky.
It's a pity that when manpower is poor, no matter how heroic the soldiers are, they still can't fight the consumption of personnel after all!
One million, five hundred thousand, two hundred thousand!
The number of the great armies is constantly decreasing, and those who are alive are also tired, sleepy, and hungry!
But they still didn't stop wielding their swords, because they knew that if they stopped, they would die!
They are not afraid of death, but they don't want to die like this, and they want to kill a few more undead in one breath, so they should relieve more pressure on the kingdom.
Killing and killing, the soldiers began to cry, not because of fear, not because of regret, but because of the newly joined undead!
A group of fallen soldiers from Qifeng City, mutilated and mutilated, either carrying knives or roaring with their bare hands.
They are heroes, even if they are now undead, in the hearts of the living soldiers, they are still heroes of the kingdom, so the soldiers did not hesitate to aim their blades at this group of heroes.
The soul of a hero should not be defiled!
The royal capital.
The streets and alleys are endless, and people are still living and working in peace and contentment.
But for some reason, the entire capital was shrouded in an invisible haze.
In the wine shop, there is no storyteller, there is no prosperity in the past, and there are few diners!
There is no singing and dancing in the orchestra, and the silence is depressing.
Since Ye Gucheng returned to the royal capital, he has never been to the court again, in addition to urging all localities to speed up the training of new troops, he is more in the Military Manufacturing Bureau.
Bang!!
Ye Gucheng slapped the table fiercely, and roared like thunder: "Shangguan Jie, what are you doing to eat?" Ben Shuai clearly told you the number of crossbow arrows you urgently need, but how many did you get for me? 10,000? What can 10,000 arrows do?"
"The commander is angry! It's not that the subordinates are doing things unfavorably, the subordinates have already transferred all the military workshops in the kingdom, and we don't even dare to rest and make arrows one after another. Shangguan Jie continued with a bitter face: "But Commander, there are too few silverware! We have all finished smelting, and according to the commander's request, the center part of the arrows is replaced by iron, and only the edges are wrapped with silver liquid, but we can only make these arrows!"
Ye Gucheng was silent all of a sudden!
"Shangguan Jie!" Ye Gucheng looked at the person who was respectfully listening to the training, and said softly: "Select a group of people from the Manufacturing Bureau, I will give you 200 places, there is only one requirement, young and strong manufacturable materials, 100% loyal to the kingdom, and then, you go to the west as soon as possible." β
"Commander!" Shangguan Jie's face changed slightly.
"I'll send someone to bring it to you, remember, travel in disguise, don't cause a commotion. Ye Gucheng took a step.
"Obey!" Shangguan Jie looked at the distant back and saluted with red eyes.
Taihe Temple.
"So, Yue'er thinks your brother-in-law hates you?" Li Yueli's voice was soft.
"Brother-in-law must hate me to death!" Li Yue'er said, her eyes were red again, and she said in a depressed mood: "Since returning to the royal capital, my brother-in-law has stopped paying attention to Yue'er!"
"Yue'er, you did the right thing, my sister thanked you, and your brother-in-law also thanked you in my heart, but he has been busy with state affairs recently, so he neglected Yue'er's feelings!" Li Yueli gently comforted and lightly shook her cold jade hand.
"Really?Sister, you didn't lie to Yue'er?Brother-in-law really doesn't blame Yue'er?" Li Yue'er couldn't help but hold Li Yueli's hand.
Li Yueli was about to answer, when she saw Ye Gucheng walking in with an expressionless face.
"Dad!" As soon as Xiao Hongchen saw Ye Gucheng, he didn't care about the maid who was playing with him, and flew over happily.
Ye Gucheng's heart warmed, and he hurriedly bowed to pick up the child and kissed his pink little face.
Li Yueli took the opportunity to lean over and whispered: "Yue'er is here, she blames herself, are you... β
In fact, Ye Gucheng had heard the conversation between Li Yueli and Li Yue'er a long time ago, and he didn't really complain about Li Yue'er, but he felt uncomfortable, but it was undeniable that it was also because of Li Yue'er that he was still alive, he could still hug his son, chat with his beloved woman, and enjoy a rare peace.
Ye Gucheng sighed lightly, looking at Li Yue'er who was standing quietly in front of him, the actions of a child who had done something wrong made his heart soften quickly. "Yue'er, what your sister said is right, my brother-in-law doesn't blame you, it's just that you can't continue to assert yourself like this in the future!"
Li Yue'er was overjoyed, suddenly raised her head, and nodded desperately.
"Okay!" Ye Gucheng chuckled and said slowly: "You're all hungry!
"Hmm!" Li Yue'er nodded more cheerfully.
A family of four, a dinner table, laughter, and happiness.
It's just that Ye Gucheng knows very well that this meal may be the last meal he will have with his family, so he cherishes it extraordinarily.
