Chapter 593: Battle - Elegy: Red Flower

In the clear night sky, the starlight in the sky is sprinkled on the Central Plains like a white practice, sometimes the cold wind is howling, the dead branches are rattling, the white frost is condensed, and the world is white and vast unconsciously.

At three o'clock, north of the jade bridge, the camp of the Seventh Army of the Southern Army, the army lord Lin Zhiqiu and the deputy army lord sat at both ends of the camp tent, counting the soldiers and horses, all of them were depressed and worried.

A saffron glanced at the battle damage report, and sighed: "My Seventh Army is already weak, and I have fought with the Oriental Vast Army for a day, and I have suffered heavy losses. ”

Lin Zhiqiu shook his head and said: "The sect leader is full of wisdom, and he must have already been in mind in the overall situation of the north and south, but I am always in the dark and frightened by the generals. Where is it after the war, there is no order, if the northern army comes to attack at night at this time, our army is afraid that it will be difficult to resist, and the jade bridge will be broken, and the Chinese army will be difficult to protect! ”

"The order has not been delivered for a long time, according to your opinion, how should our army deal with it?" A safflower asked.

Lin Zhiqiu pondered for a moment and replied: "Now that the Water Drop Array is surrounded on all sides, the other passes have no time to take care of my Seventh Legion, so there is only one way to retreat, I think the sect leader is also thinking about this, but I don't know where to retreat, and what to do after retreating." ”

A saffron nodded undeniably, and was very annoyed in his heart, and was about to go out of the camp to inspect, when a scout came to report: "The Northern Army attacked the bridge at night, and the Kaifeng Fifth Army has captured the bridge, defend or retreat, please make a decision as soon as possible!" ”

"What should I do?" A safflower asked anxiously.

Lin Zhiqiu gritted his teeth, punched hard, got up and said: "Since the military order has not arrived for a long time, why don't you abandon the Jade Bridge, after all, the Jade Bridge is not as good as other passes, it is too difficult to hold, I believe that the sect leader will also support my decision." Moreover, he will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected, and the danger will be left to himself...... The order was given to the whole army to withdraw to ......"

"Wait!" A safflower immediately raised his hand to interrupt, pointed to a white snake winding outside the tent, and said, "The holy worm has arrived, let's see how Yan Shuai orders first." ”

Seeing this, Lin Zhiqiu walked in front of the holy insect in three or two steps, and was summoned by the holy insect, but the military order was: "You must stick to it, and you must not affect the formation plan!" ”

"Hold on?" Although Lin Zhiqiu had doubts in his heart, Yan Yunxing had to obey the death order. Regarding Yan Yunxing's future plans, Lin Zhiqiu is even more full of blind trust, even if he is stubbornly guarded, he must have deep meaning!

Seeing Lin Zhiqiu's frowning and groaning, a branch of saffron hurriedly asked, "What did Yan Shuai say?" ”

Lin Zhiqiu didn't answer, waved his hand, and directly ordered: "The whole army will stick to the jade bridge, and you can't let go of a single soldier of the Northern Army!" ”

"Order!"

……

The army of the Seventh Army stepped on the frost, and to the north of the Jade Bridge, the Southern Army had left a large number of corpses and retreated, and there were countless Northern troops desperately fighting for the Jade River under the bridge, Lin Zhiqiu immediately beheaded a Southern Army deserter, and shouted loudly: "Give me all my strength to defend, even if I fight to the last soldier, I must not let the Northern Army cross the bridge!" ”

The commander gave an order, and the soldiers of the Southern Army also knew that they were in a dead state this time, and they all turned around to kill the enemy, vowing not to retreat, and there were countless arrows on the river bank like locusts flying in the sky, all of which poured into the Jade River, and the northern army was blocked from crossing the river, and countless people drowned! Seeing this, Gao Xiaohu in the south of the bridge saw this, that is, Gu Bin, the owner of the upper carriage, and Gu Bin reported to the commander Dongfang Yuan, saying: "The southern army is put to death, the morale surges, and it is difficult to fight for a while, so it is better to avoid the edge for the time being, and attack the bridge again when the southern army is tired." ”

Dongfang Yuan heard this, smiled mysteriously, and said to Gu Bin: "With Yang Xu to help you, you just have to attack the bridge, after a stick of incense, the southern army will be defeated!" ”

"But ......" Gu Bin wanted to say something, but was persuaded to retreat by Zheng Zaixun and Pei Feiluan, Dongfang was far away from Gu Bin and Yang Xu, and turned back to Wen Ruoyan and said: "What does the military advisor think?" ”

Wen Ruoyan smiled, hurriedly bowed his hand to the north, and flattered: "The palace commander is clever and far-sighted, and since there are dark chess on the other side, our army will definitely be able to break the water drop array!" ”

"Hahaha......" Dongfang Yuan laughed a few times, glanced at Wen Ruoyan meaningfully, and turned to Zheng and Pei: "The phrase 'dark chess' of the military advisor is really exquisite, can you two learn it?" ”

"The subordinates dare not compete with the military advisor." Although Zheng and Pei were humble in their mouths, there was no humility on their faces. Both of them were proud of the academy back then, how could they learn from an unknown waste material in the heron feather competition?

Dongfang Yuan knew a little bit about the situation back then, and he didn't force the three of them to reconcile, but just looked at the army in front of him and ordered: "When the southern army changes, cross the river with all your might, exterminate the Seventh Army, and win the first credit for breaking the formation!" ”

"Order!"

……

At this time, south of the jade bridge, Gu Bin was helped by the Fifth Chamber Army of the Front Division of the Palace, although the pressure was reduced, it was still difficult to break through the defense line of the southern army that was not afraid of death, and the battle situation was still very anxious. On the other side, Lin Zhiqiu, the commander of the Southern Army in the north of the bridge, had already taken the lead in the bloody battle at the bridgehead for three rounds, covered in bruises and bloodstains. After only taking a sip of water, he turned over and wanted to fight four times, but was stopped by a saffron that suddenly appeared.

Honghua pulled the reins, reined in the war horse, and asked in a loud voice, "What do you want?" ”

"Kill! Fight the enemy! Fight the enemy! Lin Zhiqiu shouted three times in a row, and the majestic voice was still stirring in the noisy battlefield, inspiring!

Honghua asked again: "The boss kills the enemy, how do the soldiers under his command give orders?" ”

"The boss kills the enemy, and the deputy marshal, the deputy marshal is killed, and the commander, in the bloody battle of my five poisons, the brothers are all willing to give up their lives and forget to die, and they still need to be supervised from time to time?" Lin Zhiqiu grabbed the reins and was about to slap the horse away, Honghua actually grabbed the horse's tail with a brute force, Lin Zhiqiu saw that he had blocked it several times, he was unhappy, and said angrily: "What do you want to say?" ”

"Is it worth it?" Honghua sighed lowly, lowered her eyebrows, and looked extremely sad and lonely.

"Since it is the Holy Decree of the Sect Master, how can it be worth it? Strive to stick to it and live up to the trust of the leader! Lin Zhiqiu hugged his fists and faced the north, his expression was extremely reverent, in his eyes, Yan Yunxing was a god, a god who was enough to turn the tide!

"But have you ever thought about how many of our brothers will be lost by Yan Shuai's order?"

When Lin Zhiqiu heard this, he finally hesitated, but it was only a slight pause, and then he said loudly: "This time I participated in the war, I have already put my net worth and life on the line, and I believe that all the brothers will be in the same mood, and they will die for the five poisons, although they are still honored!" ”

"Is that so......" Honghua's expression was gloomy, and she suddenly dropped the reins, losing her soul.

Seeing him like this, Lin Zhiqiu was very worried, and said, "You are very abnormal today, why did you change your words and call the sect leader 'Yan Shuai'?" He sighed and said, "I know that you trialists are not afraid of death, but you have no faith, and it is difficult to sacrifice for your faith, and I can understand that. You...... You can stay in the rear and give orders for me, if I am unfortunately killed in battle, you can flee to Xuchang with the rest of your brothers, and the sect leader will definitely not blame you." ”

Lin Zhiqiu whipped away and entered the jade bridge four times. Honghua looked at the bridgehead from afar, but saw that the backs of the group of brave enemies seemed to be gradually rising tall and majestic in the rain of swords and blood, covering the sky and the moon, filling the entire starry sky! In contrast, her cowardice, timidity, and hesitation made her ugly at this moment, and her extremely distorted face also changed into a strange smile, painful and calm!

"I'm sorry, brothers."

"I'm sorry, Xiaobai!"

……

Far away in the camp of the Chinese army in Xuchang, Ziyi and Huo'er were still eagerly watching the place where Yan Yunxing suddenly disappeared, expecting him to appear in everyone's sight again.

Yao Shuang, with the assistance of Lou Peng, issued various instructions in an orderly manner, which were conveyed by the holy worm. With the departure of the last holy worm, Yao Shuang finally breathed a sigh of relief, twisted his somewhat sore neck, and said with a wry smile: "I don't pay much attention to it on weekdays, but this time the acting marshal gave the order, only to know that the sect leader is working hard, and it is even harder than us to charge into battle." ”

"Yes......" Lou Peng sat aside with Lu Duoqing's support, and hammered his shoulder to express his agreement.

Yao Shuang saw that Ziyi and Huo'er refused to rest for a long time, so she was relieved: "The two Dharma protectors are relieved, the sect leader is a god and a man, and he will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune." ”

"Of course!" Huo'er nodded undoubtedly, and when she saw Yao Shuang resting, she asked, "Have the retreat orders been issued?" ”

"Hmm." Yao Shuang nodded and said, "There is also a question about the Red Flower Hall Master sent back by Xiao Lu, I have asked Hua Xin to investigate it personally, and I believe that there will be a result soon." ”

Zhenqing was still a little worried, "But if the Red Flower Hall Master does something out of the ordinary, wouldn't the Seventh Legion be ......?"

Yao Shuang smiled and waved her hand, just about to solve her doubts, but Xi Jinghong took the lead and said: "Our army has already retreated, can she force our army to return to defend if she goes out of line?" ”

"Exactly." Yao Shuang said, "Her rebellion is not hindered by the overall situation, it is just a small problem." ”

Hearing this, Zhenqing hurriedly shook his head, his two thick eyebrows were almost twisted into an iron lump, and he said quickly: "What I said is far more than that, in case she wants to ......"

"You said she was going to make a move?" Lu Duoqing was suddenly shocked, and also thought of the worst ending. Ziyi immediately shouted: "Impossible! If she really dares to do this......"

"How?" Lou Pengji asked.

"Then I'll make her worse than dead! I regret coming to the cultivation world! Yao Shuang's smile faded away, and her sharp eyes showed a long-lost cold murderous intention!

……

"Bang!" Lin Zhiqiu kicked over a soldier in front of the palace, shook his sore arm, and swung a sword casually, stabbing another Praetorian Guard soldier to death.

Looking at the soldiers of the Northern Army on the other side of the bridge and the black pressure in the Jade River, Lin Zhiqiu cursed viciously, then turned over and dismounted, and fought hand-to-hand with the Northern Army on the bridge!

In the face of the enemy who is going forward one after another like a tide, he seems to have inexhaustible strength and endless fighting will, like a tireless war machine, making it difficult for the northern army to move forward with the mighty momentum of one man and one man.

Seeing the turbulent jade river stained with blood and water, Honghua slowly walked onto the bridge like a walking corpse. Lin Zhiqiu noticed the safflower abnormality, but she was only afraid, and while slashing and slashing the enemy, she asked loudly, "Why did you get on the bridge?" Go down, we still need you to maintain the discipline of our army! ”

Hearing this, Honghua woke up like a dream, she raised her long hair flying in the wind, and the willow leaf double knives flew up and down, and a piece of corpses of the Northern Army suddenly fell in front of her!

"The main general is charging into battle, how can the deputy general survive and steal his life?" She looked at Lin Zhiqiu's back and said loudly.

"Hahaha......" Lin Zhiqiu laughed heartily, "The Lord of the Red Flower Hall is so righteous, it is my five poisonous children!" Come on, come on! Let's fight side by side and kill TND alone! ”

"Kill TND in the dark!" Honghua looked up to the sky and roared, one knife in his hand cut off the hands of a row of Northern Army soldiers who tried to bridge from the Jade River, and the other knife quietly turned sharply, and it had reached Lin Zhiqiu's back, when he was about to look back, the knife turned into a swift wind, like lightning, whistling from his neck, and cutting off an unyielding head sprayed with blood!

Lin Zhiqiu, the commander of the Seventh Army of the Southern Army, died defenselessly in the hands of his own people who trusted him the most!

And the person who betrayed the five poisons was holding his bloody head high, his long hair scattered, like a demon, screaming violently, and the sound spread in all directions, shocking countless soldiers of the Southern Army, and fleeing for his life!

"I am the fourth disciple of Sun Wuya of Xiangwangfu, the famous 'Tomorrow's Red Flower'! Wait for coach Lin Zhiqiu to be here, and if you don't surrender, when will you wait! ”

"She's ...... She is a famous disciple! ”

"How she has been hiding for so many years!"

"Master Lin ...... I want to avenge the Lord of the Forest Hall! Yes! ”

Some of the Southern Army were frightened to escape, and some stayed to "resist stubbornly", but the commander is dead, how can the Southern Army resist the fierce Northern Army like a tide with only full of anger? In a short time, all the soldiers of the Seventh Army who remained were killed, and the Northern Army all crossed the bridge!

Russia and Dongfang Yuan met tomorrow's red flowers, greeted each other with a smile, hugged their fists and said: "You are the only one who breaks the formation!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, what other orders do he have to tell me at the same time!" Honghua treated her coldly, and her emotionless and indifferent tone made Pei Feiluan's back chill for a while, revealing a look of fear.

"Uh......" Dongfang Yuan smiled and hurriedly said: "I still need you to do this, and let the other brother legions break through the city as soon as possible......

Tomorrow Honghua listened, glanced coldly at the generals of the Northern Army, turned over and walked away!
