Chapter 235: The Battlefield
As he spoke, the soldier brought the boat closer to the shore, propped it up with his oars, and said, "Come up quickly." ”
Lu Yuanqing saw that the soldier agreed to her crossing the river, and immediately said in a grateful tone: "Thank you, little brother." I can't repay your great kindness, only at this time I can say thank you well. ”
"It's just a small thing." The soldier said.
"How can this be a small thing, you have done a great good thing. For me, there is no greater thing! Lu Yuan Qingdao.
As she spoke, she dismounted, first got the horse onto the boat, and then jumped into the boat herself.
Then Wu Shan also dismounted, and the man and the horse got on the boat together.
The soldier stopped talking, just smiled and rowed the boat to the other side.
When they arrived on the other side, after Lu Yuanqing and Wu Shan went ashore, the soldier said: "The place two or three miles to the east is the battlefield, you have to take a detour, in case you are accidentally injured by a sword or arrow, but my sin." ”
Lu Yuanqing said: "I know big brother!" We'll take a detour! ”
When I got ashore, I was on the opposite road.
After Lu Yuanqing landed on the shore, he immediately got on his horse and ran near the battlefield.
Wu Shan followed closely behind her.
The soldier, thinking that the two of them were in such a hurry to get to her grandmother's house, looked at their backs, and rowed the boat to his accomplices.
When he got to his accomplice, the other soldiers asked him who the two people on the boat were, and he told them what Lu Yuanqing had told him, and the others believed it.
It is said that Lu Yuanqing and Wu Shan have been riding horses towards the battlefield, and when they rode for a while, they heard the sound of fighting, and the further they ran, the closer the sound of fighting became.
It wasn't until the two of them rode to a place without any trees that they saw a large piece of flat land, and half a mile ahead, there were many scenes of many people fighting.
"This is the battlefield." Lu Yuanqing muttered.
"Or what is this?" Wu Shandao, seeing so many people killing and killing, he was a little nervous for no reason.
Lu Yuanqing said: "We can't see anything here, we have to climb to the tree to see which side is more powerful." ”
"I agree." Wu Shan Dao, all the people are here, since you want a point of view, you have to look at it carefully and carefully.
And if they wanted to climb the tree, they had to retreat, but fortunately they had just come out of the woods and could not retreat a few steps.
After the two rode back to the edge of the woods, they found two larger trees side by side, and one climbed to the other, stood on the larger branches of the trees, and clasped the branches tightly in his hands, and looked into the battlefield.
"The one with the white helmet on his head is the soldier of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the one with the red helmet must be Zhou Jing's soldier." Lu Yuanqing analyzed.
"Hmm." Wu Shan nodded.
Lu Yuanqing only glanced at the battlefield a few times, and was shocked by the situation on the battlefield.
At this time, it was a scene of swords and swords flashing with my own eyes, and there were swords and swords everywhere, shaking people's hearts and drums.
There were many dead soldiers lying on the ground, their bodies trampled by the soldiers who were still fighting above. If there are soldiers who are not dead and only temporarily fall to the ground, I am afraid that they will also be trampled to death by the people above.
Looking at the soldiers who were still fighting, they all had blood stains on their bodies and faces, and they didn't know if the blood stains were someone else's or their own.
"I wish they all stopped immediately." She couldn't tell what she was feeling in her heart right now, but she felt very uncomfortable and panicked.
"Your hopes don't work." Wu Shan said, he was the same as Lu Yuanqing in his heart.
"If only all the people on the ground had faked their deaths. It doesn't matter if the head is white or red. Or rather, if only they could all come back from the dead. ”
She didn't care which side they were, in her opinion, they didn't care if they were good or bad, they were all soldiers, they were other people's tools, and they were the fathers of some children, the sons of some old people.
So many young lives died on the battlefield like this.
"Your hopes don't work." Wu Shan repeated what he had just said.
He felt that the scene on the battlefield was too cruel, and he did not dare to look at it more. However, I couldn't help but look at the battlefield.
Lu Yuanqing is the same.
The two of them were entangled and uncomfortable looking at the battlefield in this way.
Gradually, they saw that the group of people wearing white helmets and iron helmets on their heads, that is, Prince Xiao's troops, had the upper hand, and the group of people wearing red helmets and iron helmets, that is, Zhou Jing's troops, had now gained the upper hand.
There are more and more people lying on the ground, and most of them are people wearing red helmets and iron helmets.
Lu Yuanqing didn't come out of the air, just looked at the scene in front of her, and what flashed in her eyes was not fear, but compassion, she felt compassion for everyone on the battlefield.
It doesn't matter if it's someone who is still fighting, or someone who is already lying on the ground.
She had been observing the battlefield when she suddenly saw a woman watching the battle at the edge of the battlefield, riding on a horse and staring at the battlefield with a serious face. She had a red helmet on her head.
From a distance, you can also see that she is a beautiful woman.
"That's Zhou Jing." She pointed to Zhou Jing's figure and said to Wu Shandao.
"That's her." Wu Shan Dao, on the way from Jiangbei City, he heard her name from time to time and knew that she was the leader of the rebel army.
At this moment, Lu Yuanqing saw that a trace of worry suddenly flashed on Zhou Jing's face, so she looked at Zhou Jing's gaze, and saw a young man with a white and clean face, surrounded and attacked by several soldiers of His Royal Highness the Prince.
Those who can be surrounded and attacked must be people who are too strong in combat on the battlefield.
I saw that the young man was fighting with Prince Xiao's soldiers in one place, and he fought more than a dozen people alone, but he couldn't tell the winner at once.
Ever since he found that Zhou Jing's gaze was more towards the young man, Lu Yuanqing's gaze was also fixed on the young man.
She could see that the young man was quite handsome, and he must be Zhou Jing's sweetheart.
Seeing that the young man was finally outnumbered after many rounds of fighting with the soldiers of Prince Xiao around him, he was stabbed in the shoulder, and blood immediately flowed out of his shoulder.
Seeing a trace of pain flashing on Zhou Jing's face, she turned her face and said something to the soldiers around her who were protecting her with her mouth closed one by one, and more than twenty of the dozens of soldiers around her immediately rushed into the side of the young man in the battlefield to relieve the young man.
The young man was rescued.
Then Lu Yuanqing heard the sound of the horn blowing again.
Then he saw that all the men wearing red helmets and iron helmets immediately stopped fighting and began to retreat after hearing this horn.
So she knew that the trumpet was a signal to retreat.
I saw that Zhou Jing's troops began to run east after the horn sounded, while His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's soldiers pursued after the victory.
It didn't take long for all that was left on the battlefield was soldiers lying on the ground and bloodstains everywhere.
Lu Yuanqing sighed: "Finally, I won't fight anymore." ”
Wu Shan said: "Maybe there will be another fight in other places." ”
After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's troops are in pursuit, and who knows if there will be another battle somewhere?
"Are you going to catch up and see it again?" Wu Shan glanced at Lu Yuanqing and asked.
Lu Yuanqing shook his head.
She never wanted to see anything like that again.
This time it was enough for her to be uncomfortable.
"Let's go back." She said.
"Where are you going? Do you want to go back to Jiangbei City? A glimmer of hope flashed in Wu Shan's heart.
"Go back to the tent." Lu Yuanqing replied to him.
"But, why don't you go back to Jiangbei City?"
"I want to know who won the war and who lost the war in the end." She said.
"You are a little person, and you can't control anything, what do you care about so much?"
"Since you're here, I don't know what to do when you win or lose? Next time, it's not so easy to escape. ”
Wu Shan shook his head and was silent.
As the two of them climbed down from under the tree, they both inadvertently glanced at the battlefield again, and the scene was too shocking no matter how many times they saw it.
They can't bear to look at it again.
On the way back, the two were silent.
It was as if the soul had been shattered by the cruelty of war.
On the way back, the trees that were about to be bare, the withered yellow grass, and the streams on the side of the road seemed to be covered with a heavy layer of blood.
When the two reached the river, they came to their senses.
When the dozens of soldiers guarding the ship saw them coming, they looked at them together.
The soldier who had carried them across the river came to them in a boat and said, "Why, girl, have you visited your grandmother?" Is there anything wrong with her? ”
"She's a good old man now." Lu Yuan Qingmu replied.
"It's good." The soldier said. Then he changed the subject and said, "Come up, and I'll take you to the other side of the river." ”
Lu Yuanqing silently led the horse to the boat, and Wu Shan followed her and also led the horse.
The soldier looked at the indescribable sadness on the faces of the two of them, and said in his heart, what this girl said just now that her grandmother was very good may not be true.
But he didn't want to explore the truth of this, he was just a helper.
After carrying them to the other side, he saw the two of them riding away, and then he himself returned to his companions.
