Chapter 31: Origins

While speaking, the Shen Jiajun did not leave them a chance to breathe, and countless sharp arrows fell densely from above, and the Nanzhao army, which was already greatly demoralized due to being trapped, could only resist desperately, but the arrow forest was like dense rain, crowded and pushing, and most of the dead and wounded were already killed.

"Gu Lanting, you sinister villain!"

Lu Zheng gritted his teeth, raised the knife, and rushed towards Gu Lanting with a distorted face.

"Haven't you heard of King Huaiyang, soldiers are not tired of cheating!" She raised her eyebrows and rode her horse to meet her.

The Shen family army around the mountain road also roared towards the belly of the mountain, and together with the Gu family army, they gradually formed a joint offensive and besieged the Nanzhao army. The soldiers of the two families will fight a cooperative battle for the first time, but the tacit understanding is unusual, and the Nanzhao army is defeated and retreated, and finally almost tired of resisting.

Shen Shichu's long sword was raised, and He Xianda was instantly cut off the horse. He looked back in the direction of Gu Lanting, and saw Lu Zheng holding a big knife and slashing wildly at her.

Lu Zheng was born as a military general, he had been trained in the army for many years, and his strength was extremely great, every time he cut it, Gu Lanting's thin body shook uncontrollably.

She gritted her teeth and struggled to lift her sword to strike, suddenly leaning back, she quickly retracted her sword, her wrist turned and swung forward, the sharp tip of the sword grazing his throat, but unfortunately it was a fraction of a second.

Lu Zheng touched her neck, roared angrily, reached out and grabbed Gu Lanting's neck on his armor, and lifted her up: "Go die!" ”

Shen Shichu, who was rushing towards her, saw this, the prancing horse flew up, kicked Lu Zheng's back socket in the middle, and kicked him off the horse with another flying kick in the air.

"Poof", Lu Zheng, who was angry and attacking, covered his heart, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Are you alright?" Shen Shichu hurriedly stretched out his hand to take her forward, and looked up and down with palpitations.

"It's okay......" she pursed her pale lips: "Thank you, General Shen!" ”

Gu Zhen and Lin Shu led their subordinates to clean up the battlefield, and the remaining Nanzhao army had already lost their armor and surrendered, just looking at the past, there were countless corpses wearing Nanzhao armor, piled up horizontally and vertically.

In between, he saw He Xianda's body, and he was lying on the bloodstained ground with his eyes open, dead and dead.

All of this is caused by his single-mindedness.

Lu Zheng's eyes were bloodshot, and he slammed his fist the rough sand.

"Lu Zheng, you lost." Gu Lanting walked in front of him, his slightly drooping eyebrows and eyes did not have too much emotion: "Over the years, you have frequently committed crimes in the north, intending to mess up my territory and kill my people, but in the end, did you get what you wanted?" ”

"Tell him so much and what to do, you can kill it." Gu Zhen indifferently drew his sword and put it on his neck.

"Hmph, you want to kill me? It's not that easy! Lu Zheng spat on the blood and looked at them fiercely like a ghost: "My sister is now the most favored concubine of the Southern Emperor, if I die, I guarantee that she will do her best to persuade the Southern Emperor to fight to the death." ”

Relying on the woman to talk so rampantly, Shen Shichu raised his eyebrows coldly: "You don't need to threaten us." ”

"You can try!" After Lu Zheng finished speaking, he led his neck: "Do it!" ”

Gu Zhen hesitated.

Nandi's brain he didn't praise and said, anyway, he didn't do less things with a hot brain.

"Tie it up first, and then make plans when you go back to the camp." Gu Lanting finally pulled down Gu Zhen's sword.

After receiving the troops, the remnants of Nanzhao's defeated generals were also divided into camps and detained. Gu Jiajun also suffered some casualties, and Gu Lanting personally handled them one by one, and then returned to the camp.

Gu Zhen and Shen Shichu were chatting heartily, and the two of them picked up a big bowl from time to time and touched it, and drank vigorously with water instead of wine.

Seeing Gu Lanting come in, Shen Shichu swallowed the white water in his mouth with a "grunt", and beckoned to her: "General Gu, come, I specially left you two big chicken legs." ”

"Thank you, General Shen."

This guy, there are two faces in front of people and behind people, people call her General Gu in front of people, and people call her Gu Lanting, she really wants to tear his face!

"General Shen, I just listened to you, you have a deep knowledge of the art of war and strategy, I really admire it!" Gu Zhen had an expression of hatred and hatred, and that look could be described as the word worship.

Gu Lanting took a bite of the chicken leg and silently listened to the two old men chattering in his ears.

"General Shen, this time it is really thanks to your help that we can fight a quick battle and give the Gu family army a chance to recuperate." Gu Zhen raised a bowl and touched him: "I replace wine with water, and I will do it first as a respect." ”

"You're welcome!" Shen Shichu picked up the bowl, raised his head and drank it all and said: "When my father led the troops to guard Daxing, he was trapped by the Valle army, and he was on the line of life and death. ”

Gu Lanting paused, and the speed of chewing slowed down.

She had heard of that battle, it was the most tragic battle in the history of the Great Jin Army, the Shen family was sold by traitors, besieged by 50,000 Valer troops, and held out for more than half a month when the food and water were exhausted.

At that time, Daxing was said to be surrounded as impenetrable as an iron bucket, and the thirty forwards of the Shen family army formed a death squad with Shen Ao on their backs, and tried their last life to break out of the encirclement, and met Gu Yan who was leading the Gu family army to change the defense on the way to move reinforcements.

"That battle ......" Gu Zhen's voice lowered, and he remembered Gu Ziyan: "I remember that I had just followed the general into the camp at that time, just a small guard beside him, he always told me, saying that I was still young, and it was not suitable for me to fight and kill, let me hide." ”

He smiled, and then let out a long sigh: "Hey, obviously I'm only a few months younger than him, but he's always afraid that I'll lose ......"

"Brother Ziyan saved me at that time," Shen Shichu said, his eyes moved slightly: "The scar on his back is the knife that blocked me." ”

Gu Ziyan ...... Her brother ...... Gu Lanting suddenly felt empty in his heart.

Noticing that Gu Lanting on the side was a little depressed, Shen Shichu touched her bowl: "Therefore, if the Gu family is in trouble, the Shen family will never stand idly by." ”

"Thank you." She pushed the remaining chicken leg to him: "Here's this, for you to eat." ”

Shen Ao was seriously injured in that battle and fell ill, and within a few years, he was gone. It must not be easy for him to carry a thousand pounds of burden at a young age.

I don't know how much he has suffered over the years to become the iron cavalry general of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Gu Lanting thought about it, and actually felt a little sympathetic.

Shen Shichu was not polite, he picked it up and gnawed it directly, and the smell of meat in his mouth made him feel extremely satisfied.

After eating the meat and drinking enough water, the three of them were about to discuss how to deal with Lu Zheng, when they saw the soldiers guarding the camp outside the tent hurrying over, looking like something was wrong again.
