Chapter 6: Crimson Late Autumn

The mighty Ganges River runs through the land of Saigo, and on the banks of one section of it, a group of iron riders chase a lonely figure.

This lonely shadow is Zhao Yi, he no longer looks at the road ahead when he is on a war horse, he knows very well that it is a matter of time before he is caught up.

Touching the wound on his right chest, his nose was sore, and crystal tears flowed down.

"Brother Zhao Qian, I'm sorry, I said okay, I don't flick if I have tears. I... Broken promises. ”

"But I, Zhao Yi, am by no means a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but when I knew that Li Chuan and the unit were treason with the enemy, I found that I couldn't die, and I didn't dare to die!"

Zhao Yi leaned lightly on the horse's back, and muttered blankly with his eyes: "I'm afraid that I will never be able to send hot steamed buns to those hungry people who need food." I can no longer see those who lost their homes due to the war to find a good place to settle down in Zhao State. ”

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid those smiles will leave me forever. I am afraid that everything I care about will eventually leave me, and everything will be immersed in darkness. ”

No one can understand Zhao Yi's mood at the moment, this journey to fight on the battlefield is what Zhao Yi hates, but he has to set foot on it.

As long as it is a war, from the moment it begins, anyone is sinful. It's like a game, and Zhao Yi is a dirty participant.

Zhao Yi knows that there are no winners in this kind of war, only losers, and his hands have been stained with countless blood, so he has been doing something that can be redeemed and liberated.

This can be regarded as a war in his own heart, but this war is destined to be single-handed.

The war horse under the crotch seemed to be infected by Zhao Yi's emotions, and actually roared, and the cry was so sad.

"Haha, do you know me?"

He stroked the horse's mane, and said softly with a resolute expression: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to stab you, I'll give you an explanation for the death battle later." ”

Where Zhao Yi couldn't see, the war horse's eyes were hazy, like mist, and it roared again and again, and the sound resounded throughout the universe, like a river overturning.

Then its speed increased suddenly, and the oncoming autumn wind blew Zhao Yi's tattered robe.

"Good horses!"

Zhao Yi felt twice as fast as he felt, excitedly stroked this spiritual war horse again, and said excitedly: "Since you are still like this for me, how dare I, Zhao Yi, give up lightly, you will be my war horse in the future, and you will fight all thorns with me!"

After speaking, the war horse also roared again, as if in response to Zhao Yi's bold words.

Even so, Zhao Yi's speed was only a few points faster than those Wei State iron horses.

So the two gangs walked from east to west, through narrow paths, over slopes, over swamps, and through thorns.

When he reached the maple forest, Zhao Yi's war horse whimpered, bent its front legs, and fell forward.

As a result, he also fell to the ground, rolling several times before stopping. Zhao Yi, who stood up, immediately raised his sword and came to the front of the war horse and knelt down.

Stroking the war horse that had just recognized him as the master, combing its hair over and over again, choked up: "You galloped for more than 300 miles for me with an injury, it's enough, rest." ”

Listening to Zhao Yi's words, Ma Er comfortably rubbed his hand with his head, his eyes were hazy, he whimpered again, and never moved again.

Zhao Yi looked at the scene in front of him, his hand clenched his fist, his bones crackled, and he said in a deep voice: "You are not dead, your figure, your will will fight with me!"

"Zhao Yi is leaving!"

A group of iron horsemen appeared in Zhao Yi's eyes in the distance, and before anyone arrived, a roar with murderous intent came first, and a group of people rushed towards Zhao Yi with a fierce attitude.

Zhao Yi blocked the arrows with two swords, plunged into the maple forest, ran for a while, and found that the people behind him also dismounted and chased in. Escaping and chasing, he soon crossed most of the maple forest.

Rustle~

Zhao Yi stepped on the maple leaves that covered the ground, his lips were chapped, it was already the moment of sunset, and his body was close to the limit.

Neither his physical strength nor the injuries on his body were enough to support him to continue on his flight.

As he stepped out of the last few ancient maples that blocked his view, the bright red sunset shone on the old city wall, casting the reflected shadow on Zhao Yi's face.

"Jiafeng City?"

Jiafeng City is the city of the Han Dynasty, it is a main city of the Zhao State in the past, and later due to civil strife, the Han family took it as a dividing point and established the Han Dynasty, and now the Jiafeng City is a Shao City, even so, it still undertakes all the customs and customs of the past, rich, lively, etc.

Looking at the quaint and majestic city wall, Zhao Yi had a plan, and immediately took off the military uniform and sword on his body, and threw everything related to his identity on the ground.

Dressed in plain clothes, he ran towards the gate of the city, and as long as he entered the city, he would survive. But the uncovered open space that was close to more than a mile became Zhao Yi's biggest challenge.

When they ran to a third of the way, Li Chuan and the others also walked out of the maple forest, saw Zhao Yi who was desperately escaping in front, and then looked at the ancient city in front of them, and suddenly had green tendons on their faces, and shouted: "Shoot me an arrow, don't let Zhao Yi enter the city!"

At this time, Zhao Yi had already completed half of the distance, and the enemy in the rear also drew a full bow.

With a sigh, several arrows passed through the void and shot at Zhao Yi, who was unarmed and could only dodge these murder weapons with his steps.

He was physically exhausted, and it was difficult to avoid these arrows, and in the end he was unfortunately hit by two arrows, one arrow in his left arm and one arrow in his right leg.

In Zhao Yi's field of vision, the sunset in front of him seemed to have become three. Looking at the city gate again, it has also become three, and the three phantoms sway left and right, and the light gradually dims.

"Am I going to die?"

His eyelids gradually shrank down, and before they were about to close, they opened a little more.

"No! I can't die!

He covered his wounds and walked step by step towards the city gate with his will. As his consciousness gradually blurred, he seemed to hear the sound of bells and drums, and the sounds rang in his ears.

"It's the enemy!"

"Go out and fight!"

"Who's that guy?"

"Save him first, maybe it's our work!"

Rows of shield soldiers from Jiafeng City were running towards him.

"Wei Guo's riding and archery skills are all top-notch, and it seems that it is nothing more than that!", Li Chuan looked at those shield soldiers who were about to save Zhao Yi, and hummed dissatisfiedly to the left deputy general next to him.

The left lieutenant general listened to these harsh words, snorted, picked up an arrow feather, mounted the bow, drew it, took aim, and let go.

When Zhao Yi seemed to see hope, with a pop, the arrow of the left deputy general hit Zhao Yi's left back and pierced his chest. His eyes were wide open and his face was full of disbelief.

"I~I~"

After saying two words in a row, his eyes went dark, and he fell forward, and the soldiers who arrived caught the body that was about to fall to the ground.

The people who arrived later raised their shields to resist the arrows that came from them, and sent Zhao Yi into Jiafeng City, and the city gate was closed again.

Seeing this, Li Chuan and the others also retreated to the Fenglin in the rear, after all, the strength of their own side was simply not enough to fight with the troops of a city.

"Now that it has come to this point, if Zhao Yi survives this arrow, then General Li will be in danger. Now that there is nothing to do, I will take my leave first!", Deputy General Zuo hugged his fists and led nearly fifty people to leave.

Li Chuan snorted: "Don't send it!"

Unit Ce also said angrily: "This... Who are these people?"

"I always thought that Tuoba Rock was behind some rats, but I didn't expect there to be such people. ”

"Big brother, what do you mean by that?"

Li Chuan glanced at Jiafeng City, as if he saw the dying Zhao Yi, and said gloomily: "He is reminding me that we are grasshoppers on the same rope as them, and if Zhao Yi lives, he will definitely expose us." ”

"Then kill Zhao Yi!", Unit Ce asked.

"That's even more terrifying, we have already been seen by the people of the Han Dynasty, and when he died, we will sit on the title of rebellion, and then we will be in a dilemma. And the only way to retreat is to rebel directly and join the camp of Wei, but everything is controlled!"

"So what are we going to do? just sit back and wait?"

Li Chuan glanced at Unit Ce and said, "I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?"

Then he smiled and said: "I, Li Chuan, am not a vegetarian, if you want me to admit defeat, it is impossible!"

He paced a few steps beside a tree, and suddenly said: "If it is Zhao Yi who betrays the enemy, then everything is solved, and it is reasonable for us to hunt him down!"

Unit Ce suddenly realized: "Big brother has a good plan!"

"Then what to do next, I don't need to teach you. ”

Unit Ce nodded and said, "I'll go and arrange everything, big brother, you can leave it to me!"

One after another, Li Chuan and others also left this place.

The autumn wind is whining, and the maple trees are red leaves, withering piece by piece. Brotherhood, broken silk, national enmity, and the fateful battle of late autumn is coming.
