Chapter 50: The Time of the Decisive Battle
"Boom!"
"It's scary!" The thunder exploded above everyone's heads, and Sun Zhongjing was frightened, "This day, it's already dark and it's no different from night." ”
After walking non-stop for a day and a night in the Valley of No Return, one of the Beirong soldiers also showed symptoms of mental disorder, and could only be knocked unconscious with his companions and placed side by side on his horse. And for those of us who had to travel long distances with medicine kits on our backs, the impending heavy rain meant that not only could we not repair on the spot before we got on the road, but we also had to get wet in the rain, which was really not a good thing.
"Bingran, is it going to rain heavily? I felt a tightness in my chest. Achu frowned.
"Yes, there is no shelter from the rain here, so let's hurry up."
The lightning that pierced the sky covered the faces of all the people in the Beijon tent with a pale.
Many of the Beirong soldiers who stood at the front were shocked and injured by the internal force of the turbulent flow when the two of them fought, and now everyone retreated to a distance of ten zhang away.
Our Great Khan and this Gu Bai won't really want to fight you to the death today, right? This is a common question in the hearts of the soldiers watching Beirong.
"Where did that kid go with someone to die...... I can't fuck him now! "Standing in an inconspicuous corner, a certain Beirong lieutenant is one of the few people here who does not care much about the outcome of the battle between the two, and his subordinates have not returned from going out for a long time, and the fear of being seated has outweighed everything.
Rain mixed with blood poured down from the two combatants, and was quickly evaporated by their respective internal forces. In a flash of light, the two of them made a few more moves.
"Gu Bai, show me all your skills!" Hu Yanlu wiped the blood from his mouth and attacked again, he was fighting at this time, and he was naturally menacing.
Gu Chenyi's eyes were not shocked, he saw the move, and his mind was still calculating the speed and action of the marching of each department, but at this time, he only used seventy percent of his strength. The strong wind on his body that was brought up by Huyanlu's big axe cut out several bloody wounds, and he didn't realize it.
He had fought with Hu Yanlu not long ago, and although the two armies were not as good as a one-on-one battle, the degree of increase in the strength of this Beirong Great Khan, who had to deal with government affairs every day, in a short period of time was still somewhat unexpected to him.
Thunder swept overhead, and along with the thunder was a rising flare. Despite the heavy rain curtain, the color of the signal flare was still visible to Gu Chenyi and Hu Yanlu.
It was a signal flare specially made by Gu Jiajun.
At the same time, a loud neighing almost tore the eardrums. Hearing the familiar voice of his own Jade Lion, the corners of Gu Chenyi's lips hooked up a slight arc.
Hu Yanlu's heart suddenly became alarmed: "Stop Gu Bai!" Kill him! ”
"Just them?" Gu Chenyi's spear swept, and a circle of Beirong soldiers who were about to rush up fell instantly. He flew up, and walked through the army as if he had entered a no-man's land, and in an instant he was already sitting on horseback.
"Who dares to step forward!" Gu Chenyi pointed at the tip of his gun, and everyone retreated in panic.
"I have achieved my goal in the contest with you Great Khan today, this place is not a battlefield after all, and if you do not stop me, I do not want to cause more evil. Otherwise, die! ”
Looking at Gu Chenyi, who was leaving, Hu Yanlu had some bad premonitions in his heart, but he couldn't think of what was wrong.
Gu Chenyi rushed to the designated meeting place, and the eighty people sent had arrived one after another. Several captains who had arrived saw the people coming clearly and hurriedly stepped forward: "Four young generals! ”
"How?" No one knows what emotions Gu Chenyi suppressed in his heart when he asked.
"I've searched it all and found nothing."
"Are you sure?" Gu Chenyi's eyes tightened.
"General, the three doctors and Miss Chen, many of our brothers have seen them, if they are really in the Beirong camp, it is impossible not to find them."
"Good. Are there any flaws? ”
"No, everything that hinders the movement is poured out with drugged. However, there is a discovery under the mark. One of the captains replied.
"Say."
According to the conversations of the soldiers in the Beirong camp, some people in the Beirong army have suddenly lost control recently, and they will lose consciousness in serious cases.
"Out of control?"
"Yes, but because the out-of-control person recovered in just a moment, and the number of people is not large, no one dares to report it, for fear of being reprimanded for using illness to escape the war."
"Hmph, deceive the upper and lower levels, and bring about your own destruction." Gu Chenyi snorted coldly.
"But the sick soldier is brute force, and one of my brothers happened to meet one when he was moving."
"So, it's really weird."
"Mark and think, could it be that the Tartars have also been drugged?"
"Even if it's drugging, it's not something we need to meddle in." Gu Chenyi said: "But after the loss of control, if the brute force is excessive, do you think our soldiers can cope with it?" ”
"Beirong is still martial, and there are many powerful people, and our soldiers have deliberately practiced the method of dealing with it on weekdays. Besides, brute force is only brute force after all, and it is not as good as practicing hard skills, so the general does not need to worry. ”
Gu Chenyi nodded: "Okay, you did a good job this time, but our task is not over yet, when Beirong is defeated, everyone will be rewarded!" ”
"General Xie!"
After arranging all this, Gu Chenyi didn't know whether he should be relaxed or nervous. But for now, he has more important things to do.
After hearing the news that the granary had been burned, Huyanlu smashed everything in the tent that could be broken.
"Great Khan...... Now our grain and grass can only last for seven days, I don't know ......."
"Shut up!"
Yeluqing did not dare to continue.
"Who is the guard guarding the granary?"
"Back to the Great Khan, it's ......"
"Anyone who hasn't died in battle will be beheaded!"
"Great Khan!" Yeluqing knelt down suddenly: "The Namu clan has been destroyed since the time of the first king, most of the clansmen have already been slaughtered, and now those who have returned to obedience are slaves, and those who are missing have already fled, and they have long been scattered, who knows that at this time, these people can still be gathered to resist!" ”
"When I duel with Gu Bai, I took advantage of the weakness to enter, burned the grain and grass, and escaped by the heavy rain after the grain and grass were burned, and the time was exactly right." Hu Yanlu gritted his teeth, "With only those stragglers of the Mu Clan, it is impossible to make such a precise deployment!" ”
"By the way, I heard from the granary defenders who fled back that the group of people who attacked the granary, the Mu boy led by him looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old."
"There is such a young Mu clan who has come to take revenge. Good! Good! Hu Yanlu smiled viciously: "It seems that this group of "Mu Clan remnants" is very interesting! ”
"Great Khan!" A soldier rushed into the tent and almost fell to his knees.
"What's so alarming?"
"Gu Jiajun, Gu Jiajun has been killed!"
Hu Yanlu was shocked: "How many people are there?" ”
"About five thousand, it was Gu Feng who personally led the team."
"Five thousand...... Want to do more with less? Hu Yanlu said: "It's okay, let General Lu Lulunbu lead the troops to meet the attack first!" ”
"But the Great Khan," the soldier said, "Many of the brothers in our camp seem to have been drugged, and they all slept dead in their tents, and they couldn't wake up, and now the people are panicking, and many of them have fled......
"Damn it!" Hu Yanlu completely lost his mind: "Pass the order, all those who are deserters will be killed on the spot!" ”
"Yes, yes......" the soldier withdrew.
At this time, the two armies that were close to each other were in full swing in the pouring rain.
"Our number is twice as large as theirs, don't escape, stop these Chinese people for me!" Rulumbu's face was red and his neck was thick, but the battle situation clearly didn't improve much because of how high his voice was.
"The fourth brother has ruthlessly attacked the enemy by luring the enemy alone today, and now the fifth brother and the seventh brother have succeeded in attacking the granary, and I think these Beirong soldiers have received the news." Gu Chenxiao thought secretly, "However, generals don't have the ability to inspire the morale of the Jedi counterattack in the predicament of the soldiers, even if they face an enemy who is far inferior to their own numbers, they will lose the battle because of the panic of the people." ”
And their team is here to consume as much of Beirong's combat power as possible.
"The big war is imminent, and it is inevitable that there will be danger on this tower, how can Ye Qincha come in person at risk?" Gu Chensui's face was still a little pale, but his spirit was not bad.
"The sixth young general has only recovered from his injuries, and he still needs to take care of his body, if he doesn't also guard this city with the soldiers, as a messenger, it is within my duty to live and die with the city, so what are I afraid of?"
"My father and brothers took care of my injuries, so I stayed in the city, and it was a pity that I couldn't gallop on the battlefield with them." Gu Chen then smiled, his appearance is the most gentle one in the Gu family, plus he is shy, although he is also wearing a battle armor, he doesn't look like a general, but like a military advisor.
Although it was a city defense, it was also a heavy responsibility, so Gu Chen said hello to Ye Ziqi and arranged the patrol. Ye Ziqi looked at the orderly and even bookish young man in front of him, and he couldn't connect him with the brave general who was stabbed several times a month ago but still led his troops to drag the Beirong army on the battlefield and create a breakthrough opportunity for the Gu family's army.
The officials and people in the city have all settled down, and the old Fu seniors have also sent appropriate people to escort them to Datong Pass to detoxify the soldiers and people. For three whole months, the northern realm, which was about to become a dead chess game, finally ushered in a turning point and hope, Ye Ziqi thought.
Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, squeeze out of learning for the saints, and open peace for all generations. This is the ambition that Ye Ziqi has set in his heart since he was enlightened at the age of four and has studied hard for many years. But since his mother left, he almost broke with the Ye family, and when he thought that all the things he had gained since he joined the government - the appreciation of the king and the respect of the people would become a tool for those "family members" who made him disgusting to sell his reputation, he hated why he couldn't be willing to degenerate into that mediocre and incompetent person.
At the beginning, Prime Minister Cao Ren pushed him to the position of "Qincha", which others avoided at this time, and he was also afraid of the battlefield he had never set foot on. But after coming here, the increasing respect and trust in the eyes of the officials, the people's resistance to him from pessimism and panic to optimistic and firm support, and the unwavering determination of the Gu family army to fight until the last moment, made him gradually feel that even if the Beirong soldiers came to the city in the next second, he would die in the city.
Later, when he met the girl who always had a bright smile whenever he saw her, he suddenly had more hope, he hoped that he could at least see her leave safely, or even go back with her.
I have a heart, but that's it.
Ye Ziqi stood quietly in a corner that would not disturb the battle and was enough for him to see everything under the city, although he had one more umbrella than the soldiers of the Gu family, his clothes were still gradually soaking under the heavier and heavier rain curtain.
He didn't move a bit, he just slowly looked at every inch of land leading to Dingyan City, as if the longer he looked, Chen Anchu would appear in front of him with a smile in front of him the next moment.
