Chapter 142: Life and Death

The scorching sun is like fire, the war drums on the battlefield are screaming, the swords are hoarse, this war that lasted for a year has kicked off again, and the southern country has changed the previous silent defense, but the main attack, which caught General Chen, who led the troops, off guard, but fortunately, the border city is not a waste of fame.

The southern soldiers were stunned to besiege for more than half a month and did not attack in, but lost a lot of troops, General Chen had already heard of the wall of Yongzhou City, and when he saw it today, it really lived up to its name, and the defensive attack array could be said to be the strongest among the five countries, not only with an indestructible outer wall, but also an inner building that was easy to hide.

It's just that no matter how strong this wall is, it still has to counterattack after all, otherwise the southern soldiers will attack the city sooner or later, and Yongzhou City cannot only defend without counterattacking, in recent days, General Chen is tidying up the military camp, as long as he waits for the right opportunity, he will defeat the southern soldiers in one fell swoop.

There are not many opportunities like this, it can only depend on luck, the strength of the Chu State is the strongest among the five countries, but it is in the hands of Ouyang Ling, and now the soldiers and horses guarding the border have long been replaced, and the leader of the battle is General Chen, who has just been transferred from the infantry battalion, and the strength is unknown.

Qianyu knew that King Nan would definitely send troops this time, not just because of Mu Changfeng's affairs, nor because of Ye Qiuke's persecution, he saw that Ouyang Ling, who was brave and good at fighting in the past, had been executed by Gongsun Yuting, and now the army was in turmoil, and the people had prejudices against Gongsun Yuting, and felt that this was an excellent opportunity.

"I hope that this General Chen has some ability to defend this Yongzhou City, otherwise he will become the soul of the next Weeping God Terrace"

At night, Qianyu lay on the hay and wiped the morning dragon, it has been some days since it was used, but it was quite nostalgic, after coming to the border, in order to let the recruits go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, the commander of the military camp temporarily let them practice with weapons, and Qianyu was also helpless to pick up the spear.

Before coming to Yongzhou City, she did all kinds of chores in the military camp, but in the dead of night, she would practice the kung fu left by Su Yuran in a place where no one was around, and the morning dragon also played the best effect in her hands, in addition to the commonly used swords, what she could grasp better was the bow and arrow.

Especially she is accustomed to the darkness, she sees night as day, drawing a bow and shooting arrows seems to be her innate instinct, she can grasp the flow of the wind around her body very well, can accurately shoot the target in the dark, and can shoot the target that will move in the dark.

However, no one else knew about these things, she had concealed her good martial arts from the beginning, and the only time was in front of the young commander, and now that things have changed, not many people know about it, so in the barracks, whenever everyone practices together, she always makes frequent mistakes, and the spear in her hand is not tight.

However, the more she is like this, the greater the chance of going to the battlefield, in the border barracks, it is common to use new recruits to take the lead, especially the kind of people who fill the barracks, they are afraid that you will waste food alive, and they wish that you would die early and save your monthly money.

Qianyu was also surprised when she knew these things, she didn't know that there was such an unspeakable side on the battlefield, the bloody battlefield she once longed for, she thought that every soldier was willing to throw his head and spill his blood for his country, although she was reluctant to believe it, but the truth was so.

When the war drums on the battlefield sounded again, it was time for Qianyu to play, the recruits did not enter the camp for a long time, and it was very difficult to grab the horses, Qianyu went straight to the battlefield with the team, when the city gate opened, the moment the Chu army and the southern soldiers met, she knew the so-called bloody battlefield.

General Chen, who guarded the city, was always in the walled tower, and every time he faced the battle, it was the young marshal and the battalion commander in the barracks, General Chen just gave orders, and Qianyu was mixed in those soldiers, and it was impossible to leave the army with her slender body.

"The weapons used in the hands of the Southern Army are all very good blades, a knife is deadly, compared to the weapons of the Chu army that cut corners, the Chu army has no chance of winning at all, and even the enemy's armor can't pierce through, how to kill the enemy?"

Qianyu held a spear in his hand, watched the swords around him dance wildly, and watched the soldiers around him fall in a pool of blood one by one, those teenagers who were not much older than themselves no matter how they looked at it, only because the court officials and officials protected each other, and the corrupt officials acted recklessly, taking a share from the treasury silver that made weapons, so they bought some smuggled inferior weapons to fill the number, so that their good years were buried on this ruthless battlefield.

"Is this the newly appointed general of the Chu State? It's really courageous, and I just took office, so I can't wait to go along with those people in the palace."

Qianyu felt sad in her heart, threw away the spear in her hand, and watched those swords swing towards her, she had already prepared, and when the knife slashed at herself, she avoided the knife and drank the medicine that she had prepared a long time ago, it was a kind of fake death medicine, which Qi Yue taught her to do when she was in the Bitter Sword Gate, and it was very good.

As expected, in the middle of the horse's hooves, between the cold arrows and ice blades, a long sword slashed towards Qianyu, her hands and feet brushed against the long sword, the sword pierced her coat, and the blood bag that had been hidden in her waist was just pierced by the sword, and Qianyu immediately fell to the ground in pain.

The neighing sound around her did not stop for a long time, Qianyu lay motionless on the ground, even if she was trampled by the horse's hooves, she gritted her teeth and endured, she was heavily pressed by the corpse, she still did not say a word, quietly waiting for the end of this battle, but a sudden impact made her faint, and after the sound in her ears gradually disappeared, she fell into darkness.

Qianyu was woken up by the cold raindrops, and when she woke up, the war had ended, and there were corpses lying all around, she looked around, it turned out that this was a mass grave dedicated to dealing with the dead soldiers on the battlefield, and there were not only corpses that had just been processed, but also corpses from these days, almost piled up into a hill, and some of them had become white bones.

The smell of the corpse was mixed with the smell of the earth after the rain, which made Qianyu vomit as soon as she crawled out, and by the pouring rain, she rinsed it well, took off the human skin mask on her face, and half a beautiful silhouette greeted the rain.

Qianyu's hand stroked the scars on his face, and then looked back at the soldiers who had a few relationships with him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, everyone was sacrificing for the Chu State.

In the pouring rain, thunder and lightning, Qianyu left the mass grave and walked all the way in the direction of the southern country, the small figure was very strange in the night, she was staggering, ragged, no matter how heavy the wind and rain overhead, the pace under her feet never stopped.

After all the way to the end, she finally found a place to settle down at the junction of the border of Chu and the south, which was a dilapidated temple, although it was stormy outside, but she could still find a place to lie down, she planned to wait until dawn in the temple, she removed the coat and robe on her body, and wore a set of southern clothes, which she quietly changed before going to the battlefield.

The exhausted Qianyu quickly fell asleep, the thunder outside was deafening but could not wake her up, when the sky was getting brighter, a Lang Zhong who was walking the rivers and lakes came in from outside, Qianyu heard footsteps, and immediately got up and hid, but Na Lang Zhong was not an ordinary person, from the moment he stepped into the broken temple, he knew that there were people inside.

"The old man has a fire fold here, I don't know if the girl needs it?" Na Langzhong not only knows that there are people inside, but also knows the gender, which is really not to be underestimated.

Qianyu, who was hiding behind the haystack, heard Lang Zhong say this, her face turned red, and she walked out lightly, in the slightly bright broken temple, she saw a tall figure standing, and heard movement, Na Lang Zhong knew that Qianyu came out, but he didn't look back at her.

"No need, thank you, old man, my clothes are already dry" Qianyu shook the hay on his clothes, and his clothes were indeed almost dry.

"It's not good to have a cold, you can't catch the road and delay things, you don't have to be polite, the old man walks the rivers and lakes, a cloth and a man, on weekdays, I can't see you young people who don't care for their bodies, and don't be irresponsible to your parents!"

There are really a lot of truths in that Langzhong, and the head of the talk is the Tao, but this word is useless to Qianyu, her body hair and skin are indeed the parents of the recipients, and she still has to pay it back after all, she would rather never come to this world, so that her mother will not be affected because of herself.

Seeing that the sky outside was gradually brightening, Qianyu wanted to leave the broken temple and go on the road, but when he turned his head, he found that Lang Zhong was looking at himself, thinking of his ugly face, Qianyu hurriedly turned around, but he still saw it.

"The old man wants to ask the girl a question," Lang Zhong walked towards Qianyu.

"Old gentleman, please speak" Qianyu took a few steps back, a pair of eyes looked at Na Langzhong in fear, and his fingers touched the morning dragon on his waist, if he took a step closer, she would untie the morning dragon and give him a little color to see.

"Can a girl care about her appearance?" Lang Zhong stared at Qianyu's burned half of his face, his expression slightly thoughtful.

"Looks are just a skin, why care?" Qianyu knew what Na Langzhong wanted to say, his eyes were cold, and his tone became cold.

"Hehehe...... There is still room for redemption for the girl's injury, if the girl can trust the old man......" Lang Zhong ignored the cold words of a thousand words, and still talked endlessly.

"Don't bother! I still have something to do, so I'll leave first! Qianyu hurriedly interrupted Na Langzhong's words, glanced at him more, turned around and walked out of the ruined temple.

After the rain outside, the air was fresh, the morning light shone on the earth, Qianyu's slender back gradually faded away, and she wore a southern costume to make Na Langzhong think that she was a southerner.

"You left before I finished speaking, why are you in such a hurry? The old man has an old friend with excellent medical skills, and he is guaranteed to be able to heal the wound on your face! ”

Na Langzhong stood at the entrance of the temple and watched Qianyu leave, still muttering words in his mouth, watching Qianyu's back gradually turn into black spots, and the voice in his mouth gradually disappeared.

After Qianyu left the ruined temple, he immediately put on the human skin mask he had prepared before, confirmed that Na Langzhong did not follow, and simply sorted out the clothes on his body, and then hurried towards the southern country.
