Chapter 116: The Battle of Guiling

A long-lost rainstorm fell on this night, the rain washed over and over again the corners of the eaves, lightning and thunder, and the wind blew violently, sweeping away the previous hot and humid air.

In the morning, the sky is as blue as washed water, the air is exceptionally fresh, and even the sunlight is exceptionally transparent.

On the same day, Ruyi escorted grain and grass to Tian Ji and Sun Bin camps.

It was night, and the moon was like a silver platter, and the sky was full of stars.

Ruyi pushed Sun Bin to walk on an open field outside the camp. The night breeze was blowing warmly.

"Senior brother, will Pang Juan definitely pass by here?" Ruyi asked.

Sun Bin looked into the distance with a long look in his eyes and said calmly: "He will definitely pass by here, this is not only a battle between Qi and Wei, but also a battle between me and him." Although the content was full of revenge, the tone was surprisingly calm.

Ruyi knew that the grievances between Senior Brother Sun and Pang Juan must be settled, so he didn't say anything more.

If this battle is inevitable, Ling Huyuan, as the nearest reinforcement of the Wei State, will definitely come to participate in the war, then it may really be a meeting between the enemy and us, and there is no need to show mercy to his subordinates.

Ruyi pushed Sun Bin out for a long distance but did not speak, Sun Bin looked up at Ruyi frowning, and said with a contemplative look: "Are you worried about General Linghu?" ”

Ruyi nodded, lightly, "Hmm." "Yes.

"General Linghu is a rare handsome talent, he has experienced so many winds and waves, and this time he will definitely turn evil into good fortune." Sun Bin comforted awkwardly.

"Can you tell me what the senior brother's plan is for backup?" Ruyi asked seriously.

Sun Bin was speechless for a while, if the plan for backup was usual, he could really tell Ruyi, but now that Ruyi is obviously biased towards Ling Huyuan, how can he say it. What should I do if the Qi State is defeated? How can so many dead brothers comfort their souls in heaven?

Ruyi smiled slightly, and did not embarrass Sun Bin, "I know this is confidential and can't be said, senior brother, don't be embarrassed." And Ling Huyuan definitely disdains to do this, he wants a fair fight. "She has to rely on her own strength to save Ling Huyuan. Since the end is inevitable, then she just needs to save people. Ling Huyuan has saved her so many times, and this time she will save him.

Three days later, Pang Juan led his army into the Guiling border. Tian Ji led the main force of Qi to ambush here. Pang Juan fell into Tian Ji's ambush and struggled to support him. Wei Poppy hurriedly ordered Huyuan's border guards to rescue Pang Juan.

Ruyi quietly went to the battlefield, the battlefield was in a mess, and the front line was hot. When Ruyi rushed over, he saw Ling Huyuan being attacked from behind, and Ruyi hurriedly whipped on the horse's buttocks, wanting to hurry over.

However, his speed was limited, and Ruyi shouted, "Linghu Yuan." Ling Huyuan only had time to look back, and before he could see Ruyi clearly, he was blown away by a long-range projectile. At this time, * is only a saltpeter used in alchemy, which can produce violent combustion and cause spark flames. Ruyi didn't dare to change history, and didn't teach Brother Wang the production of *, but only improved the weapon with the help of existing technology.

But he didn't want Linghu Yuan to be killed by his own improved weapon, and the scene just now was like a slow-motion picture that was repeatedly replayed in front of Ruyi's eyes.

Ruyi watched in a daze as Ling Huyuan fell into a burst of firelight. Ruyi wanted to step forward, but the war continued, and both sides of the warring ground stopped Ruyi's steps. Ruyi saw a flower in front of him, vomited out a mouthful of blood, and fell straight off the horse.

Fortunately, Nie Zheng was not worried about Ruyi and followed, caught the fallen Ruyi, put it on his horse and brought it back to the camp.

Qin Yue took the pulse for Ruyi, saying that Ruyi was in a hurry and needed to recuperate.

Ruyi woke up after a day of coma, and as soon as he woke up, he took Nie Zheng's hand and asked, "How is the battle situation?" ”

Nie Zheng hesitated, but still told Ruyi the truth, he didn't want to deceive Ruyi, even if it was well-intentioned. "Pang Juan has been captured, and now General Linghu's whereabouts are unknown."

At the same time, the battle report was also sent to the Wei Palace in Daliang.

"What? Missing? Wei Poppy said in a dark voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty. At that time, I only saw a long-range fire bomb hit General Linghu, and then even the corpse was not found, and eighty percent of it was burned by the fire bomb. Kang Shou replied in a low voice.

Wei Poppy listened in disbelief, although he was deeply concerned with Ling Huyuan because of his wishes, but he didn't expect Ling Huyuan to die like this, this young man became a famous general, and he actually died without a whole body. Wei Poppy's mood was a little difficult to calm down, after all, he also had a love for growing up together since childhood.

Wei Poppy locked himself in the main hall all day, not eating or drinking. Just kept looking at the map. The ministers tried to go in several times to speak, but Kang Shou stopped them.

Finally, when Wei Poppy came out, he ordered, "Continue to besiege Handan, the capital of Zhao State, and do not withdraw the army." ”

"Your Majesty, General Pang has been captured by the Qi State, if we don't withdraw our troops, we don't have so many extra troops to relieve the siege of Xiangling." An old minister admonished.

"Send someone to lobby Han Yihou to transfer South Korea's army to relieve the siege of Xiangling." Wei Poppy said without anger.

The others looked at Wei Pop, whose face was getting darker and darker, and they didn't dare to have any more objections.

Ruyi personally went to the battlefield to clean up the battlefield, even if he found Ling Huyuan's body, but he found nothing, and after coming back, Ruyi lay in a daze for three days.

Three days later, Ruyi was in a hurry to leave, and she suddenly remembered that Qingmo had told her that if she was in a hurry, she could go to the intersection of West Street to find Jiang Feng.

So she wanted to rush back to Linzi City and go to the intersection of West Street. Ruyi is a person who does what he says, and if he doesn't want to stay for a moment, he has to rush back, and no one can persuade him.

Ruyi knew the outcome of this war, the battle of Guiling did not defeat the main force of the Wei army, and Handan, the capital of Zhao, was still occupied by Wei. So Ruyi didn't care what the follow-up of the war would be, as for Pang Juan, it was Senior Brother Sun's grudge with him, and she didn't want to interfere. She only cares about whether Ling Huyuan is dead now, she just wants to find Ling Huyuan.

Ruyi returned all the way to his heart like an arrow, and galloped back with a whip.

Nie Zheng was not at ease with Ruyi, so he took Qin Yue, Lao Yue and Xu Sheng to escort Ruyi all the way.

Ruyi drove for two days without sleep, but in the end, Nie Zheng really couldn't stand it, and blocked Ruyi's horse to die. Ruyi agreed to stay in the hotel and take a break.

A group of people entered a town of some size.

During the meal, the people in the restaurant were talking about the battle of Guiling a few days ago.

Everyone is speculating whether Ling Huyuan is dead or not.

"I think General Linghu may not be dead, General Linghu has the ability to reach the sky, how could he die so easily, it must be a trick." A young man at the next table said with a look of adoration.

"It's all burned to ashes, how can you still not die." A middle-aged man said disdainfully.

Ruyi clenched his fists and wanted to punch the middle-aged man. Ruyi endured and endured it again and again, and barely endured it.

But who knew that the middle-aged man was not interested and continued, "I heard that General Linghu likes the princess of Qi State, I wonder that this ambush was caused by his collusion with Qi State, which caused General Pang to be captured, but he must not have expected to burn himself to death, and the beauty was not obtained." The middle-aged man smiled, and his expression was as obscene as he was.

The others shouted "boo" at the middle-aged man, and everyone refuted him and told him not to talk nonsense. Most people still don't believe what he says, but some people echo the middle-aged man's statement.

Ruyi couldn't hold back anymore at this time, she couldn't stand being insulted by others like this, so she walked over and punched the middle-aged man on the left side of the face. The middle-aged man was beaten and fell directly to the ground.

"Who are you?" The middle-aged man wiped a handful of blood that didn't exist at the corner of his mouth and stood up. But when he saw Ruyi's frosty face, his whole body seemed to be exuding cold air, and the most important thing was that the eyes looked at him like a dead man.

The middle-aged man immediately became cowardly for a second, and slipped out of the table in a gray manner.

Laughter erupted in the restaurant. The remaining two who echoed the situation also ran away in dismay.

A woman at the next table came over and persuaded Ruyi and said, "Girl, don't be angry, that person is a deflated man, and everyone in this town knows that he is a scoundrel." It's not worth being angry with him. ”

Ruyi relaxed her body and sat back in her seat.

The woman also sat back with Ruyi, and then talked to Ruyi across the aisle.

"The girl is not a local who doesn't know, the people in our town can respect General Linghu, when Wuhou fought in the south and the north, the war continued, once hit us, if it wasn't for General Linghu to protect our town, I'm afraid we would have been reduced to a soul under a knife, a ghost under an arrow. At that time, General Linghu only led a team of 2,000 people and nearly 10,000 enemy troops for five days, and dragged it until the arrival of reinforcements. So we have all seen General Linghu's ability, and we don't believe that he died so easily. ”

"yes, yes, we don't believe it." The young man with an adoring face at first chimed in.

Immediately, everyone else responded enthusiastically, "I don't believe it." "We don't believe it."

Ruyi has been forcing herself to calm down these days, and she didn't shed a single tear. But at this time, seeing that the people loved Ling Huyuan so much, and said such warm words, Ruyi's eyes were red, and he felt that tears blurred his vision.

Nie Zheng and the others, who were at the same table as Ruyi, were all big men at the same table, looking at Ruyi in tears, they were at a loss for a while and didn't know how to persuade them. The woman next to her said: "The girl has also received the favor of General Linghu, otherwise how could she be so sad." ”

Ruyi nodded vigorously and said, "He is my savior." ”

Hearing this, Nie Zheng stiffened, and the hand that handed out the handkerchief trembled slightly, but he still continued to stuff the handkerchief into Ruyi's hand.

When he walked out of the town and got back on the road, Ruyi's heart was a lot calmer, at least so many people still thought about him and remembered him like themselves, and were willing to believe that he was alive and that believing was hope. I remember someone saying that a person's real death begins when no one in this world remembers you. Ruyi believes that Ling Huyuan will always live in her and their hearts, and she will live well for him.
