Chapter 344: Death Hope and Struggle

When the ruffian Qu was unable to resist the onslaught of the 5,000 cavalry, Zhang Cheng thought that they had died on the mountains north of Yanbei.

At the critical moment, a cavalry arrived, they had no standard armor, and even their weapons were varied.

But it was such an inconspicuous cavalry, attacking like a tiger, powerfully impacting the defense line of the tiger and wolf riders.

Zhang Cheng looked at the eighteen cavalry led by him, they were extraordinarily brave, leading about 5,000 cavalry, and their might was not weaker than the tiger and wolf cavalry, especially when the tiger and wolf cavalry had been injured by the ruffian, under the impact of these cavalry, they could only resist powerlessly.

The cavalry looked like a group of bandits, with a banner at the front of the line, with a pattern of a horse on it, and swept away all obstacles that stood in their way.

Zhang Cheng knew that this was the support force that Ling Yi was talking about, that is, the warriors of Yanyun's eighteen cavalry and other bandits who rushed over through the call.

There are more than 600 people in Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry, they held up the Yanyun Banner left by their fathers, and then called all the surrounding bandits over, these are the bandits who were recruited to come by thanking the kindness of the old Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry.

Of course, there are also many bandits who are unwilling to participate in the war, and in their view, participating in the war between the government is nothing more than self-destruction.

Yan Jingfei found the besieged ruffian Qu for the first time, and was worried about the safety of Ling Yi and the four of them, so he rushed forward first.

However, after fighting for a while, he did not find the four of Ling Yi, let alone the martial saint powerhouse mentioned in the newspaper before, which made Yan Jingfei anxious.

After breaking through the defense line of the tiger and wolf cavalry, Yan Jingfei hurriedly asked Zhang Cheng, who was commanding the battle, "Are you Wu Lingyi's troops?"

When Zhang Cheng heard that the person from the Way of Nature was the leader of the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry that Ling Yi said, he quickly nodded and admitted, and added: "Wu Lingyi Qu Chang is now being intercepted by the Martial Saint powerhouse in Yanbei Town, please go to the rescue!"

When Yan Jingfei heard this, he was instantly shocked, and hurriedly asked, "How many of them are resisting the Martial Saint?"

"There are only four Lingyi brothers!"

As soon as they heard this, Yan Jingfei and the others of Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalry were terrified, they knew that the four of Ling Yi were powerful, but no matter how powerful the Great Martial Master was, it was impossible for them to resist the Martial Saint powerhouse!

"Let's go, Yanbei Town!" Yan Jingfei didn't ask again, but waved his hand to call Yanyun Eighteen Horsemen over, and rode his horse towards Yanbei Town, he was afraid that if he was delayed for a while, Ling Yi and the others might be in a different place!

Fortunately, when Yan Jingfei arrived, Ling Yi and the others were still alive, and judging from the appearance of the Martial Saint powerhouse, he was also seriously injured.

Under such circumstances, Yan Jingfei launched an attack on the Martial Saint without hesitation, they gathered to defend Youzhou, and now they saw Ling Yi and a few people seriously injured, and they were even more angry.

The hatred of their fathers was still deeply buried in their hearts, and this time when they saw the Northern Wilderness coming, they wanted to avenge their fathers in one fell swoop!

Looking at the martial saint who had fled away, looking at the tiger and wolf cavalry that had been completely annihilated, Yan Yun's eighteen cavalry and a group of bandits cheered with the ruffian song, today they fought side by side, successfully stopped the conspiracy of the Northern Wilderness Empire, and also annihilated the Northern Wilderness cavalry, which made everyone excited.

Yan Jingfei was worried about the injuries of Ling Yi and the others, and quickly walked towards the four of them, along with other Yan Yun Eighteen Riders, of course, the ruffians were cheering, and they were anxiously gathered when they saw their Qu Chang falling to the ground in a coma.

Wei Yun and Friday also hurriedly stepped forward, Ling Yi couldn't have an accident, in Wei Yun's opinion, even if he died, he couldn't let Ling Yi have an accident.

Hao Jun was in severe pain all over his body, and first checked Ling Yi's body, and after confirming that he was only unconscious, he was a little relieved: "Don't worry, Ling Yi is just too consumed, and there is no danger to his life, let him rest more!"

Everyone was relieved when they heard this, especially Sun Ze, Hao Jun, and Ah Hai, who gritted their teeth and insisted that they couldn't be unconscious, but now after admitting safety, after confirming that Ling Yi was not in danger, the three of them collapsed to the ground one after another, and fell into a coma like Ling Yi.

Wei Yun, Yan Jingfei and the others did not identify themselves, but took care of the four of Lingyi carefully.

However, with Yan Jingfei's eyesight, he naturally saw that Wei Yun's identity was different, and then looked at the eunuchs around him, he naturally understood that this should be a member of the royal family, and the purpose of the sudden attack of the Northern Wilderness cavalry this time was for him!

Yan Jingfei could see that Wei Yun took special care of Ling Yi, and he was watching that Ling Yi and Ruffian Qu were willing to give everything to protect this royal family, so Yan Jingfei didn't ask too much.

When Ling Yi comes to his senses, he will tell himself.

Seeing that the crisis in Yanbei Town has been lifted, it is the Yanbei checkpoint not far away that is still in crisis, and after settling the injured people, Yan Jingfei personally led the Yanyun cavalry and rushed towards the checkpoint.

With the addition of Yanyun cavalry, the crisis in Yanbei was resolved after two hours.

The Yanyun cavalry has always been at odds with the border guards, so they didn't stop at the checkpoint too much, and retreated directly to the town of Yanbei to rest.

At this time, the people who had fled had already begun to return, and they looked at the devastated hometown, and then looked at the seriously injured ruffians Qu and Yanyun cavalry, and spontaneously organized themselves to cook and bandage these warriors who were trying to protect them.

It is these heroes in front of him who protect the town and villagers of Yanbei, otherwise the strong enemy will attack, and I don't know how many people will die.

The battle of Yanbei has been regarded as the victory of the Dongsheng Empire so far, in this battle, the ruffian Qu seriously injured 436 people, killed 18 people, and no one flinched.

This made Zhang Cheng blame himself, it was he who deviated from the retreat route, otherwise he would not have been besieged at the foot of the mountain north of Yanbei, if it was in an open place, he believed that with the footsteps of the mount, it would be very simple to successfully break through!

For several days, Zhang Chengdu spent a few days in deep self-blame, even Hou Aoxuan and others couldn't persuade him, and they used alcohol to kill their sorrows all day long!

Ling Yi and the others were still unconscious, so no one could persuade Zhang Cheng!

On this day, seeing Zhang Cheng's languishing appearance, Wei Yun found the groggy Zhang Cheng with a pot of wine!

At first, Zhang Cheng thought that Wei Yun was here to persuade him, and he didn't pay attention to Wei Yun at all.

Wei Yun sat next to Zhang Cheng, where he could just see the place where they buried the ruffian Qu brothers.

Wei Yun didn't speak, but opened the wine jug, took a big sip of it himself, and then handed the wine jug to Zhang Cheng!

Zhang Cheng opened his confused eyes, drunkenly raised his right hand, took the wine jug, took three or two sips, and drank most of it.

Then he casually threw the wine jug back to Wei Yun, and after drinking these few sips of wine, Zhang Cheng did not continue to be groggy, but had a lot of energy!

His eyes were fixed on the grave not far away, and he muttered, "I'm sorry brothers!"

Wei Yun took another sip of wine, and then took three sips of wine to the tomb of the ruffian.

"Maybe I shouldn't stay here!" Wei Yun didn't know who he was talking to again, as if he was talking to Zhang Cheng, and like he was talking to a ruffian who died in battle, but it was more like talking to himself.

Zhang Cheng said while drinking: "I shouldn't stay here, it's not because I'm afraid, it's not that I can't see death, for so many years, I have witnessed too many deaths, and too many brothers around me have fallen by my side! I don't know why this time, I'm just very uncomfortable!"

Wei Yun sat on the ground, and then said: "For me, too many people have died, my grandfather, uncle, and countless martial artists have died unexplained because of me, countless nights, I have been awakened in nightmares, and sometimes I even think of death!

After Wei Yun finished speaking, Zhang Cheng continued his words and said: "Back then, more than 1,000 of us were surrounded and suppressed by the cavalry of the Northern Wilderness, and in the end there were more than 100 people left, I could hold on, and we were hit hard and we gritted our teeth and persevered for so many years, but I really felt very powerless in this battle a few days ago, we never had hope, we saw hope, and there was Lingyi to lead us to think about the goal of hope, but because of my own reasons, I almost wiped out everyone's hope in the north of Yanbei!"

Wei Yun took another sip of wine, handed the wine jug to Zhang Cheng again, and said to himself: "I still had the courage to die before, but after seeing Ling Yi this time, I was scared, I didn't want to die, I still have relatives, my mother is still waiting for me! I also see hope, and I am willing to work hard again for hope!"

Zhang Cheng took a sip of wine and continued: "It is very difficult for our ruffian qu to get to this day, even if the current recruits, they are all people like us, time passes slowly, maybe we will all die on the road of our pursuit of hope, but I really don't feel worth it to die so aggrieved!"

Wei Yun saw Zhang Cheng stop, and said again: "Since I have chosen to continue to fight for hope, then I won't worry about whether it's worth it, the goal is clear, what if I die today, what if I die tomorrow, I still have Ling Yi when I die, Ling Yi is dead and there are so many brothers around him, these brothers are dead, and there will be more people typing in!"

Zhang Cheng seemed to feel something, and said: "Lingyi gave us hope, let us get out of the previous muddy life, the more I am afraid of this, it may be that I myself have become afraid of death, and I am even more afraid of the death of the people around me, once people are afraid of death, they will become weak!"

Wei Yun raised the wine jug and said to Zhang Cheng: "I became afraid of death, I saw hope, you saw hope, you began to fear death! In fact, fear of death is not weakness, but responsibility, I have my own responsibility, you also have my own responsibility, Ling Yi and other brothers also have their own responsibility, we don't choose to struggle because we are still afraid of death, we choose to struggle for hope!"

"Yes, early death and late death are death, but we are fighting hard for hope, death may be afraid, but it cannot stop us from moving forward, the will of the dead brother will be inherited by me, until the true hope is realized!"

A seemingly unrelated conversation between Zhang Cheng and Wei Yun smoothly dredged up Zhang Cheng's confusion and allowed him to regain his former glory!
