Chapter 1: The Narrow Road

Next Chapter

In the last winter, the entire north of the Dongzhou continent is still covered with thick winter snow and ice, and there is a country in the northernmost part of the continent, called Beijiang Country, and south of Beijiang Country is Shi Nanguo. Between the northern Xinjiang country and the southern Shinan country, there is a large and small mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles, and the snow-covered peaks covered in silver are particularly charming in this season, just like a woman wearing white down and lying prone and silent. On top of the winding mountain cliff, there is an even more winding mountain road, on which a team of hundreds of people is silently marching slowly along the mountain from north to south. There are men and women, old and young, a few hundred people in the team, and there are ten soldiers in the front and back of the team to protect each other, and there are also dozens of soldiers in the middle team who help the old and the weak. At first glance, it seems that the rich and noble families who have migrated after the fall have soldiers to send each other, and it is estimated that they have an official background. The footsteps of the group were heavy, and several horses in the team carried messy and broken luggage, and all of them looked tired, as if they had not rested for a long time, and were always haggard as if they were in a hurry. ............

"General, the front is looking at the north gate, passing the boundary monument looking at the north gate, and then it is the border of Shi Nan. A middle-aged man with a magic wand in his hand and wearing a soldier's soft armor walked up a few steps in front of a middle-aged man in brocade, bowed his head and clenched his fists and said.

The middle-aged man in brocade clothes, known as the general, stopped, let out a long breath of turbidity, and sighed slightly: "It's finally time to escape, don't stop, when we get to Shi Nanguo, we will be safe." ”

Although the brocade-clothed general spoke in a long tone and a slightly lamenting tone, looking at his facial features, he was extraordinarily heroic, and his momentum was undiminished. After he finished speaking to the soldier, he looked back at the tired clansmen behind him, his eyes seemed to reveal a little sadness, and he couldn't help muttering: "Zhu Kuang Lao'er, if you listen to slander, you will stop, if you want to kill them all, if I don't die, he will definitely kill you." With that, he looked up into the distance. Suddenly, his brows furrowed, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to summon the middle-aged soldier who was standing behind him who had just spoken, and said, "Zhao Yi, do you see that the terrain in front of you is out of phase?" The Jinyi general pointed to the distance where the rugged mountain road disappeared at the same time.

The middle-aged soldier named Zhao Yi hurriedly looked into the distance where the general was pointing. The originally tired face couldn't help but wrinkle, and was surprised, and hurriedly said: "This place is a good place to arrange troops, so my subordinates will send someone to check it out first to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

"Although this is the first time I've been here, I know it's here! You don't have to go, you can go down, everyone is ready to fight! The general waved his hand at Zhao Yi and said.

"The general must not, although the pursuers behind are already close to retreating, but they can't catch up with us for a while, we still have some time, we can go to the cliff to hide on the spot, wait for my brothers to flatten the obstacles in front, and then it is safer to pass. Zhao Yi said.

"It's too late, the group of crazy people behind are chasing too closely, and the ...... is floating in front Such a sinister aura makes me very uneasy. I know what you mean, you have been fighting with me for many years, do you think that the 30,000 pursuers behind us are pressing over, and on the ridge of this cliff, is it possible for us to hide......? I always feel a little familiar. Obviously, it wasn't a small force that was guarding the front, and I sensed that they were strong, not the ordinary garrison soldiers we had met before. It stands to reason that we are ahead of the curve? Could this team of men and horses be sent by Zhu Kuang? Then it must be light horses, but the smell of killing is so strong, is it possible?...... It seems that we are less auspicious this time, and this time Zhu Kuang has also pressed the elite around him? ”

"These people are not weak, and tell the soldiers that we cannot underestimate the enemy when the time comes. If we rush over in one go, we may be able to preserve some strength and continue the incense of our clan. If, as you say, when the army arrives, there is no chance. Tell everyone not to panic, stay close and suddenly accelerate, rush over in one go, especially tell everyone not to fall in love with war at that time, we are not here to fight and kill the enemy, we are now a fugitive, people are tired and tired, and we can't fight for a long time. Where there is life, there is hope. After another sigh, he said to Zhao Yi: "Okay! Go, tell everyone, when the time comes, concentrate on one point, even if there is a lock god array in front, we have to break it open......" Looking at Zhao Yi, who immediately conveyed the order, he sighed: "I hope my clansmen can survive this catastrophe." ”

"Brother Lin, is there an ambush in front of you?" A woman holding a baby next to General Zhou looked anxious, and there was an ambush in one sentence.

"Madame, follow me and make you suffer. General Zhou sighed, but did not explain that there might be an ambush ahead, and after speaking, he wiped the snowflakes that had just been stuck on her forehead with his hands.

Mrs. Zhou also stretched out a hand, wiped the unmelted snowflakes on General Zhou's forehead, and said softly: "I don't care, I haven't seen any scenes that have followed you all these years and fought in the east and west, and I am used to it." Alas, it's just that we Fei'er have suffered a few days after we were born, and we will suffer this kind of exile and running around, alas! Fei'er has not lived a good day since she was born, alas...... I hope that the gods will bless my son and our people with safety. ”

An old man behind Mrs. Zhou saw that the team had stopped, and staggered up and asked, "Zhou Lin, didn't you hear that it was almost here? Why did you stop now?"

"Father, wait a minute, vacate the things on the horse, you take everyone to ride in the middle of the team, don't mess around, there may be an ambush ahead, I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle, maybe we can rush over, maybe ......" Zhou Lin said in a heavy tone, but in the end, he didn't say anything more.

"Perhaps? Do you want to say to your father that you are not going to go in such a tone? You are the number one general of the Northern Frontier Country, and you have actually said that you will not go in this small wilderness? Do you know that your words are shaking the hearts of the army, do you know? I have never seen you so depressed all the way?" The old man shook his head and sighed: "We Zhou clan members are not greedy for life and afraid of death, I want to see who in front of us can stop us." ”

"Is it really that dangerous ahead? You see that there are cliffs in the west, cliffs in the east, and there are chasing soldiers coming from behind?" Mrs. Zhou listened to the conversation between the two of them, and also looked anxious, shaking the baby in her arms to prevent him from crying, and said to Zhou Lin: "Why don't you ask Yingyun to fly over and have a look? Isn't his demonic beast flying? Fly over and take a look, maybe there are not a few soldiers in front." ”

"Zhou Lin, leading troops to fight, my father won't. As for the Father, it is not good to protect us all the time, you don't need to think about what we do, we have hands and feet, and we can fight. Besides, there is no choice now, isn't it just a small look at the north gate? Narrow road meeting, the brave wins, our clan of the old, weak, sick and disabled have also died on the road, now the rest of our clan is considered to be the strongest people, even if it is death, we have to pull a cushion, we are not afraid, wait for the real battle, everyone is happy to kill the enemy, even if the tiger falls into the ocean, we can not tolerate the bullying of these stinky dogs. Master Zhou's words were passionate, and the momentum revealed in his words was just like the abrupt rocks on the cliffs, not afraid of cold, storms and snow, and proud of the mountains.

Zhou Lin closed his eyes and looked up to the sky, exhaled, and then strode forward, and then shouted loudly: "Zhao Yi!"

"The subordinates are here!" Zhao Yi immediately ran over.

"Find a few people to protect Madame, you don't have to take the lead this time, the safety of my old and young depends on you. Zhou Lin patted Zhao Yi on the shoulder and said.

Zhao Yi nodded cautiously and replied, "Please rest assured, general." ”

"Well, call that Ye Feng, the Wu brothers, let the three of them play the forward!" Zhou Lin looked at the horses behind him that were carrying gold and silver, turned his head and said: "Throw away everything on the horses, bring those trivial things and cumbersome, we have to travel lightly, and also, return the black dragon horse to a knife, let Shi Da break it this time, and the rest of the people will be deployed as usual." ”

"The subordinates will arrange it. Zhao Yi didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ran away.

Zhou Lin looked up at the sky, the black eagle that was spinning, waved his hand and shouted: "Shadow Cloud!"

Suddenly, the whirling black eagle seemed to fall, and landed directly in front of Zhou Lin, standing agile and steady on the snow, and on the wide back of the giant eagle, riding a thin man. The man immediately jumped off the big black hawk and stood with his fists clenched.

"You don't have to attack this time, your task is: to observe the movement of the battlefield at all times, find the weakest point, and instruct the brothers below to attack to the right point, do you understand?"

"General, don't worry! ”

Zhou Lin nodded and stopped talking, at this time Zhao Yi also finished conveying his order, and the general layout of the battle formation was already in place, and it was only immediately formed when it arrived in an open place.

After a short rest, the procession began to march slowly, and from a distance, it seemed that there was no change from before, and it was only because the journey was slow, and the horses were tired, and some trivial heavy objects were discarded on the way.

However, when you are in the middle of the team, you can feel a strong battle intent, and it can even be said to be a kind of breath, a killing breath, which is far better than the cold snow wind of the remnant winter.

Looking at the north gate, the junction of the northern Xinjiang country and the southern country of Shinan, because the reason for the topography of the north gate is the dangerous place that the two countries must defend, therefore, the north and south of the north gate are stationed in the adjacent places of the north gate are stationed with heavy troops.

From north to south, the mountain road winds, the more to the junction, the original narrow rugged road becomes spacious, and then a few miles, suddenly it is a plain land, in this rugged Wangbeimen near the boundary, there is such an open plain land, it is rare, and because of this, the northern Xinjiang country and Shi Nanguo have had several large and small conflicts in this north gate, several times because of the huge casualties, almost led to a full-scale war between the two countries, fortunately, the terrain on both sides of the north and south is dangerous, once the war starts, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not suitable for a large number of troops to pass quickly, and several conflicts have not reached the bottom line of the war between the two countries, so it has always been in the situation of garrison confrontation。

Gradually, this team of people has walked into, looking at the north gate of the plains, a circle of bare birch trees in the distance seems to be deliberately growing to surround the entire north gate in the middle of the wilderness, look at it, it is like a naturally formed trap, at this time Zhou Lin seems to be here, like a huge pocket, waiting for them to slowly drill in. However, knowing this, they had no choice but to move forward.

Once inside, there is no way back. Of course, this group of people didn't even think about retreating. Walking straight and slowly towards the exit of the line, knowing that the black pressure circle under the birch tree was not a fallen leaf, knowing that what awaited them was siege and death, but the group of people seemed to be unaware of it, and walked straight to the narrow exit of the line without hurrying or slow......

The atmosphere is extremely depressing! Only the cold wind with snowflakes blowing in the cold wind is whistling, mixed with a strong smell of people and horses, which makes the whole Wangbei Gate seem a little hideous and a little wild, reminding all the people of their tense nerves, and also indicating what is about to happen, what kind of frightening encounter it will be.

"Are they all in?" said a very small inquiry in the deepest part of the birch forest. Although the man deliberately lowered his voice, although the man lurked in the birch forest far away, this slight, slightly undetectable inquiry, like a little spark in the oil depot, ignited a terrifying silence, and then it would follow: an explosion.

"Rush!"

That Zhou Lin waved forward resolutely at this time, and the whole team was like a herd of wild horses that had escaped from the reins, and the team that was still very slow just now suddenly accelerated after he shouted, and the whole team rushed forward.

Immediately after, a cold, eager command voice came from the dense forest: "Hmph! Get on them!"

In an instant, the entire plain of Wangbeimen, as if boiling, in the birch forest, suddenly rushed out of a circle of black pressed soldiers, rushing to the front is the heavy cavalry, followed by many magicians wearing soldiers, these soldiers are dressed in uniform, all riding high-headed war horses, but the weapons in their hands are not the same, there are knives, hammers, swords, spears, shields, and bows and arrows, but more are magic wands, obviously the proportion of magicians is very large. With General Zhou Lin's "rush", a group of cavalry surrounded the originally open exit place in an instant, just like a huge barrel, and there was a group of demonic beasts at the front, all of them were purple-black demonic wolf beasts.

The exit of the front road was surrounded by heavy troops almost instantly, and the back road was also blocked by the people rushing up at the same time.

In such a short period of time, the entire Wangbei Gate was surrounded by water. Just wait to compress the scope of the siege, then the hundreds of people who just rushed in will be completely trapped.

"Hahaha...... Hahaha!"

As this group of people was besieged in an instant, the person who had just given the order in the birch forest laughed wildly: "Zhou thief, you can't escape today, don't put down the weapons in your hands, kowtow to the old man, maybe the old man is happy, and he will leave you all corpses." ”

"Mo Ao! It's you? Hmph! You don't stay in Dadu, but you come to this poor and wild place, is it possible to succeed in order to get Zhou's head?" Zhou Lin obviously heard that the person who laughed wildly was Mo Ao.

"Zhou thief! Hahaha! Okay! I didn't expect you to have the same today, think about how majestic you used to be? Ah? Hehe! Do you remember? Three years ago, you hurt me in front of the ministers and laughed at me for being incompetent? Hmph! Then I swore to get the field back, hehe, I didn't expect it to be so soon? Hehehe! Why don't you kneel down and let me give you a stab, if you don't know what to do, then there will be pain for you to enjoy, at that time, the old man! will cut off your head little by little. Mo Ao was dressed in brocade, with thick black eyebrows and a beard, but his eyes were very small, which was extremely inconsistent with his tall and strong body.

"Shut up, are you Mo Ao looking for death!" Zhao Yi in front of Zhou Lin roared, frightening the few soldiers who had already come up on horseback, and took a few steps back.

"You dog thieves, dying people, are you also so arrogant? Hahaha! But I like to look at the ducks who are about to die and still have a hard mouth, hehe! It is worthy of the people in your Zhou family's army, they have all reached such a situation, and there are even dog guts that contradict the old man, but it is a pity that your share of the glory of the Zhou family army no longer exists, and you are now in my eyes, you are just some ducks with hard mouths raised by the Zhou family. Hahaha!!"

"Mo Ao, although I didn't have much friendship with you when I was in Dadu, I didn't have any enmity, even if I had inappropriate words in the past, I can apologize to you here, if you let my family go today, can I go back to Dadu with you?" Zhou Lin stepped forward and said triumphantly.

"Hahaha! Zhou thief, no, Brother Zhou, General Zhou, I didn't expect you to have this day, and I didn't expect you to be willing to die alone for your family, admire, yes, you and I don't have any big grievances, but I came by military order, and I have a royal order, if you don't slaughter your Zhou family, my head is not guaranteed to be small, my people will be implicated, and you also know the temper of our king. Don't think that you have come all the way to be easy, those who do not obey the order, turn a blind eye, and even blatantly let you and others go, are also after you leave, ah? hahaha! What is it like, you should know, it is not a good end, they all died because of letting you go, you are not shallow!" What's more, if your head is brought back to Dadu by me, I will no longer be the commander of this little hussar battalion, think that I am going to become a hussar general, hahaha! ”

"Since that's the case, it depends on how much ability you Mo Ao has, if you want to take the head of the old man, it's not as easy as you think!" Zhou Lin waved his sleeves and shouted coldly: "The generals will listen to the order and break the formation!"

Zhou Lin gave an order, and the team escorted by dozens of soldiers rushed forward in an instant.

"Ask for collections, recommendations!"
