Chapter 539: Crossing the Sky Ridge

Liu Ye: "Behind you are your parents and relatives who are looking forward to your return home, instead of staying here and continuing to fight against the imperial court." If you want to stay, then leave thirty people to search for Zhang Xing at the bottom of the cliff, and bring it back, and I will give him an explanation. ”

A group of people stood up, "Let's set off now to find Vice Admiral Zhang." ”

Zhang Xing's subordinates were brought out by him, and they have deep feelings for Zhang Xing. Liu Ye did not restrain Zhang Xing's subordinates and let them carry weapons to move freely.

Liu Ye's attitude towards them made Zhang Xing's subordinates feel a little more balanced, after all, the other party's trust in them still made them feel relieved.

Liu Ye counted thirty people, and the rest of the soldiers were scattered into various military camps. "When you arrive in Yizhou, you can choose to stay. Now follow us as a collective action. Liu Ye explained.

Jiang Yao bandaged Zhang Fa's wounds, and the piercing crossbow shot Zhang Fa's arm through a bloody hole. Zhang Fa gritted his teeth and didn't let out a cry of pain. His heart hurt more than his wounds, because his brother died suddenly.

In the past, because Zhang Xing chose to be in the same league with Xue Shang at home, Zhang Fa never wrote a letter to Zhang Xing, and even if he wrote a letter, it was dictated by his parents, and he communicated with his brother in the name of his parents.

Like Zhang Wang, he is just a ghostwriter for his parents. Now thinking of this, he deeply regrets it, why didn't he express it to his brother, saying that he missed him very much and hoped that their family would return to Chang'an.

Parents, brothers and nephews gathered in Chang'an, but there was no chance, and the elder brother stayed in this land forever and could not go back. Zhang Fa burst into tears, and he couldn't help himself when he thought of being sad.

Jiang Yao stayed by Zhang Fa's side, speechless, life and death on the battlefield are instantaneous, but can you use these words to persuade Zhang Fa?

The follow-up troops also followed, Shi Xiong came up, Liu Ye's eyes were red, Shi Xiong looked around, there was no scene of fierce confrontation and fighting.

Liu Ye said with a sad expression: "Brother, Zhang Xing jumped off the cliff." His men laid down their weapons bloodlessly, and Zhang Xing persuaded his subordinates not to become enemies of the imperial court before jumping off the cliff. ”

Shi Xiong turned his head and saw Zhang Fa beside Jiang Yao, Zhang Fa's face was pale, and his eyes were red and swollen. He probably guessed what was going on, and he walked up to Zhang Fa, "Zhang Fa, mourn and change, this situation is not what we want to see." War is so cruel. As a soldier, life and death are things that change instantly. It's just that we can't accept such a tragedy in the face of our loved ones, but as a soldier, you have to learn to bear everything. Including facing the departure of loved ones, the battlefield where soldiers meet each other is a duel between life and death. ”

Zhang Fa burst into tears, "General, I hope that person is me, if there is a life-and-death duel between brothers, I would rather be the one who falls." ”

Shi Xiong gently held his injured arm, "Zhang Fa, if it is you who falls, then I don't know how many people will fall behind you." That's your brother's righteous side, who sacrificed himself to save us and them. ”

Shi Xiong turned his head to look at the lonely rock cliff. "This is a natural danger, if you fight hard, many people will fall. Your brother is very remarkable, and I will ask the court for the credit of your two brothers. ”

Zhang Fa didn't say any more, why didn't he choose to protect himself, he had a chance to protect himself, as long as he laid down his arms like his men, he could save everyone, including himself.

General Shi is right, since you are going to the battlefield, you must learn to accept and learn to face death. Facing the death of a loved one is a cruel thing, but you have to learn to face it.

ZHANG Fa; "Brother Jiang, the team still has to move forward, don't take care of me. I'm fine, I'm a soldier. ”

Jiang Yao took two bottles of wound medicine into his arms, patted him on the shoulder, didn't say anything, and left him. Some wounds take time to heal.

Liu Ye and Ishio each reorganized their armies, wrapped them in felt, and the soldiers rolled down the cliff. It's much faster to get down than to climb up.

After the large army was assembled at the foot of the cliff, Liu Ye did not rush to give orders, waiting to take Zhang Xing's body and move forward with the large army.

Zhang Fa led a group of people to find Zhang Xing's men. Zhang Xing's men went down to the bottom of the cliff and searched for a radius of dozens of miles where Zhang Xing jumped off the cliff, and Zhang Xing's body was found by two soldiers.

The soldiers did not dare to come forward to identify it, and the corpses lying on the grass were already scattered and scattered, and they could not be seen at all. But from the external attire, it can be confirmed that this is Zhang Xing's body.

The soldiers gathered in a circle and bid a silent farewell to Zhang Xing's body. The soldiers carefully picked up Zhang Xing's body, and the broken bones were the state of this body at this time.

The irrepressible cries came to their minds, and the voices grew louder and louder, and they were now standing here in good shape, picking up the body, all because the body would rather be crushed to pieces than hurt them.

When Zhang Fa led the people to meet them, Zhang Xing's body was packed in a bag and carried forward by several soldiers.

ZHANG Fa; "Brother." He stroked the bag, which changed shape as the soldier moved. His brother lay inside, and no matter what he said, he would not respond.

He wanted to join the team that carried his brother's body. A soldier said, "Zhang Fa, our task is to take care of you, and this is one of the ways we repay Adjutant Zhang." Please come back to your own team, and here we will take care of my brother and take care of him in your place. ”

Zhang Fa's gaze fell on the shapeless bag, and every time the bag trembled with his steps, Zhang Fa's heart ached as if it had been cut by the tip of a knife.

Zhang Fa knew their kindness, nodded, and returned to his team with the men. Willow Leaf walked up to him and stood side by side with him. Waiting for Zhang Xing to arrive.

Xue Shang made a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect Zhang Xing to make a mistake, Zhang Xing chose to break his bones in order to live up to Xue Shang's brotherhood.

Xue Shang gave a war lecture in the barracks, and his speech was impassioned and extremely infectious. A soldier who went to the bottom of the cliff to search for Zhang Xing ran back in advance to deliver a message to Xue Shang.

"General, Vice Admiral Zhang has died." The soldiers hurried all night, and they were sad and sad, and their faces were haggard and dusty.

Xue Shang was shocked and said, "Zhang Xing is dead." ”

Soldier: "Vice Admiral Zhang jumped off a cliff and died." ”

Xue Shang thought that Zhang Xing was invincible to the enemy, and chose to die in his post, without thinking about Zhang Xing's self-destruction. His most trusted right-hand man, his brother who was like his siblings, died in the line of duty.

Xue Shang's body was shaky, and the guards around him supported him. Xue Shang staggered back to the camp, Zhang Xing, Zhang Xing, the person he regarded as a brother, said that it was gone. The soldiers who came to report the news knelt outside the tent, unable to hold back their tears and burst into tears.
