The remnants of the beacon fire at the border pass, the sunset has not fallen, the mourning is all over the wilderness, and the mountains and rivers are stained with blood.

When he looked up, the sky was red, the earth was red, the palms of his hands were red, and his robes were red.

In a trance, Yan Liwu thought that her eyes were fascinated by blood, but later she realized that where was her eye recognition of the wrong color? It is clearly between heaven and earth, and it is this tragic battlefield, and every inch is stained with blood.

The stabbing pain in his shoulder penetrated into the bone marrow, holding the flag of the women's army, which was also stained red with blood, and he reluctantly stood up with his eyes in all directions.

Barren, hopeless, and full of eyes.

Corpses were stacked on top of each other on the ground, with severed limbs and tarnished weapons, but nothing unrelated to the killing.

Yan Liwu's throat was a little sore, and her nose was a little sore, she couldn't believe it and didn't want to believe that this was the end of a small battle.

The sky and the earth are vast, the jackdaws fly by, such a bleak scenery is too tragic, pulling the eyes and tapping desperately on people's hearts, almost making Yan Li Wu can't help but hide his face and cry bitterly.

She didn't know how many sisters of the women's army could no longer get together on this day.

"General...... General Honglian ......" A faint cry came low, and she was stunned for a moment, then dropped the flag and followed the sound, rummaging through the corpses like crazy, and finally saw a dirty palm that stretched out weakly towards her.

"The wound is not deep, it's fine, it will be fine soon." Tear off the clothes and bandage the wounds of the wounded, and comforted softly with the severe pain in his heart.

After some busyness, Yan Liwu found more survivors, and some people rushed from the battlefield in the distance to call her name, gathered the remaining women's army and counted them, and miraculously found that less than a quarter of the people were damaged.

"Those male soldiers have been rushing ahead of us, and if someone cuts at us, we can't dodge, so they carry it with their bodies......" The youngest female soldier of the army cried red-eyed, still holding the broken weapon tightly in her hand.

Yan Li bit his lip tightly.

She once stood on the training ground and said calmly that on the battlefield, there are no men, women, old and young, everyone is a soldier, and there is no difference.

But those soldiers of the border army who were also full of prayers to return home, they could not bear to see the woman being slashed in front of them, and in the face of the enemy's sharp blades and death, they bravely chose to be a guardian.

They survived, at the cost of countless men buried on the battlefield forever.

With a long breath to soothe the pain in his heart, Yan Li clenched his fists and looked like a torch: "Clean up the battlefield and bring all the brothers and sisters who are still alive back to the camp, the dead ...... Look at them for the last time, remember their last expressions, remember, this is war. ”

The young soldier who took the lead in carrying a broken arm and was still alive tenaciously moved step by step to the direction of the station. She didn't know how long it would take to reach this slow pace, or if the young soldier on her back would make it through, but now she had only one thing on her mind.

Go home, even if you die, and let these unknown heroes be buried in their homeland as much as possible.

"General, I'm coming! Let me do it! ”

Some of the soldiers of the women's army knew that Yan Liwu was suffering from a strange illness, and three or five people scrambled to snatch the wounded from her back, and their eyes were full of pity when they passed Yan Liwu's pale face.

With a sinking of his shoulders, the middle-aged soldier who was many years older shook his head towards Yan Li: "General Honglian knows how to use medicine, and at this time, he should stay here to save more lives, rather than wasting his talents in vain." We will take care of the wounded back to the camp, where General Honglian and a few of his younger sisters will continue to search for survivors. ”

Yan Liwu understood that he had a bad habit of being impulsive when encountering problems, nodded gloomily, and accepted the persuasion of the middle-aged soldier.

Turning back to look at the scorched earth, there were too many bleak scenes that were shocking, and at that moment I hoped that it was just a dream, an illusion that would disappear when I woke up.

But reality is more cruel than any story.

After that, the Northern Frontier Army, which had ended the fierce fighting, spent several days settling the battle situation, and finally came to the result that the Women's Army and part of the Frontier Army had killed more than 4,000 enemy troops with a total of 2,319 men.

It seems that if you win, you will have more enemies with less, but you will never be able to make up for what you have lost.

And this is only the first battle that Yan Liwu led the women's army to fight alone.

On the way back to the temporary garrison of the border army, Yan Liwu fell into a coma again, and this time the coma lasted for four hours, which was far longer than the first symptom, and there was a tendency to get longer and longer. When I woke up, it was the second day, and when I opened my eyes with my groggy head, I saw that Ye Ling Xi was sleeping on the edge of the couch, his face full of exhaustion.

There are many people who care about Yan Li's worries, and Ye Ling Xi can be regarded as the most unfortunate one, only she has to watch Yan Li's strange illness gradually worsen but is helpless. That kind of powerlessness has been experienced, so she tried her best to be relaxed and happy in front of Ye Lingxi, hoping that her good sister would stop worrying about her.

Although, knowing that his condition is getting worse and worse.

"Miss Yan is awake?" Yan Li was stunned, and Ye Haochuan walked into the big tent dressed in dust. Seeing that Ye Ling Xi, who was woken up, rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked confused, Ye Haochuan sighed deeply, and gently knocked on the top of her sister's head: "If you want to sleep, sleep well, don't just do it, waste your rest time in vain." ”

Xu was too sleepy, Ye Ling Xi didn't insist on staying, nodded obediently and yawned and left, while Ye Haochuan took off his armor and sat aside, rubbing his fingers intentionally or unintentionally: "That...... Miss Yan should have seen that the enemy's attacks have become more and more fierce recently, and she is planning to make a desperate final fight. This time, Nanqing, Duo and Qingyue sent troops from three roads at the same time to encircle and suppress, and we had a hard time coping with it, I think...... I think in order to prevent this from happening again, I have to retreat to the city and hold on. ”

"It's okay to retreat to the city, there is a city for defense, at least you don't have to worry about a surprise attack." Yan Li thought for a while, and then said, "The closest to here should be Li Cheng, right?" There aren't too many people in Licheng, and it's easy to evacuate if you really want to fight—"

"Miss Yan, I want to say, after you arrive in Licheng, you won't go into battle in person." Finally couldn't help it, Ye Haochuan interrupted softly.

Yan Li was stunned: "What? What's wrong with the Women's Army? ”

"It's not that there is a problem with the women's army, but that your body, girl, what if you get sick while you are fighting with the enemy? There are no eyes on the battlefield, I don't want Miss Yan to be injured, so how will I face the world in the future? ”

lowered his eyebrows, clenched the thin blanket tightly with his worries, and there were thousands of unwilling but unrelenting words in his heart that he couldn't say no.

Many things can't be stubbornly insisted on with a lot of blood, such as the Gu in her body, when she is asleep and when she is awake is completely out of her control; Another example is to personally lead the women's army into battle to kill the enemy, even if she can continue to fight despite Ye Haochuan's obstruction, but in the end, isn't it still someone else who will suffer?

Whether it was out of respect for Wen Moqing, a hero of the new dynasty, or out of concern for the commander of the women's army, Yan Liwu had no doubt that once she had a Gu attack on the battlefield, there would definitely be someone who would rather give up their lives to send her away safely.

Now her existence is not much better than cumbersome.

After being silent for a long time, he sighed silently: "I understand, from tomorrow onwards, everything on the battlefield of the women's army will be entrusted to Ling Xi, and I will wait for you to return in the camp." ”

Ye Haochuan's heart fell to the ground, and he smiled, but he didn't notice the gloomy loss in his eyes.

According to the plan, Ye Haochuan quickly ordered the army to retreat until Licheng.

The two gates of Licheng are open to the north and south, and the two sides outside the city are towering mountains, and the whole city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which can be described as a natural barrier. With the pass of Licheng, the Qingyue Kingdom, the Nanqing Kingdom and the Duo Kingdom could not be attacked on three sides, and the condescending border army standing on the city wall occupied the advantage, and the alliance army failed to reap the benefits of several surprise attacks.

In fact, the defensive pressure in the north is far less than that in the Wanxia area in the south, although there are elite soldiers from three countries here, but the other party obviously lacks such an experienced and excellent general as Ye Haochuan, if Salang in the south is transferred to the north, probably Ye Haochuan will have a headache.

The stalemate lasted for more than a month, the coalition forces could not attack, and the Dayuan border army could not drive away the invaders. At the moment when the two sides were in a confrontation, 50,000 well-trained elite soldiers rushed from the south to join the battle and became a powerful reinforcement for the Dayuan Frontier Army.

"It turns out that Gongzi Chu is an important minister of the Fox Hill Country, no wonder the Fox Hill Congress suddenly withdrew from the Hostu Alliance."

"But seriously, these elite soldiers brought by Gongzi Chu can be said to be divine soldiers descending from the sky, don't look at the number of people, but it is enough to turn the tide of the battle."

"If a few people continue to boast like this, Chu will be reprimanded by the emperor if he gets carried away."

In the spacious and bright study, Chu Ci had a very happy conversation with Ye Haochuan and several lieutenants, at least until Ye Ling Xi hurried over with a pale face, the atmosphere was very harmonious and joyful.

"Brother! Where did the medic go? ”

Seeing Ye Ling Xi's panicked face, Ye Haochuan also became nervous: "Military doctor? The military doctor seems to have gone for a re-examination. What, who got hurt? ”

Ye Ling Xi shook his head desperately, and his anxious look couldn't be hidden: "It's not who is injured, it's that I'm sick!" Somehow, she has been saying that she is dizzy and weak since last night, and only got her some clear porridge this morning to send it, but she vomited it all after a few sips. I brought lunch over just now, and I saw that her face was so frighteningly bad, and when I asked, I realized that she hadn't stopped vomiting since this morning, and her bile was about to vomit! ”

"So serious? I'll send someone to call the medic back right away! ”

Ye Haochuan was about to go out to find someone, but a figure rushed out of the house faster than him, and it was Chu Ci.

I had already met the day before, and it was not difficult for Chu Ci to find the room where Yan was worried. Striding into the room, Chu Ci arched his feet, his warm and soft palm was attached to the back of Yan Li's hand, his bright eyes were deep, with a touch of tenderness.

"If I'm not mistaken, I don't need to call a military doctor."

Yan Liwu looked a little distracted, and when he heard Chu Ci's words, he slowly raised his head, a happy smile appeared on his pale cheeks, and his palm was gently covered on his lower abdomen and he whispered.

"Well, I realized that this little guy is doing something wrong - my child with Moqing."
