"Lord Yanwang, you really want to go to Cold City. It's not a good road. Shangguan Xun persuaded.

"That's right, Lord Yanwang, why don't you wait for the snow to melt before leaving. It's cold, and I can't bring much with me. It is very likely that on the way there, there will be heavy snowfall, so it is easy to get stuck halfway. Konoye echoed.

Sima Liang knew that the snow had not stopped, and the snow was so thick that he couldn't walk the carriage at all. It's hard to walk even on horseback.

But he still shook his head and insisted on going his own way.

"I decided, I had to go. It would be nice to bring less stuff. I don't need a carriage anymore, I can ride a horse. Just find someone who knows the way to take it with you. I think it's just you, Shangguan Xun. ”

Sima Liang pointed at Shangguan Xun.

"Lord Yanwang, please ask for instructions on the ...... of the palace"

"I'll leave now, if you don't lead the way, I'll go by myself." Sima Liang was unreasonable.

Shangguan Xun insisted on his own opinion and refused to do anything.

"Lord Yanwang, let's still say something."

"Okay, as for whether you can catch up or not, then I don't care."

Xu Wu led the three horses and walked over.

Xiao Ye saw that Sima Liang didn't listen to persuasion, so he could only take the dry food and cotton clothes that he had prepared earlier.

"Lord Yanwang, Xiao Ye won't bother anymore. Take care of yourself and don't freeze. Remember to stay safe and eat well. ”

Xiao Ye tightened his cloak for Sima Liang, and then touched his cheek, very reluctant.

"Xiao Ye is really good, I'll buy you a few new clothes when I come back." Sima Liang hugged Xiao Ye and finally warmed up.

Separately, Sima Liang looked at Xu Wu.

"Are you prepared enough? Don't be less. It's not easy to walk on the road, so you should take it for a review. ”

"It's the prince, the villain will check again."

Xu Wu inspected the items needed for the trip.

Shangguan Xun saw the posture of the two, so he had to run outside and say a few words to his subordinates, and then hurriedly ran back.

"Lord Yanwang, I'll go with you."

As he spoke, Shangguan Xun also checked the required items.

After all, he is a native and knows what this weather needs most.

After Shangguan Xun's supplement, everyone brought everything they needed, and then led the horse forward.

Stepping on the solid snow, Sima Liang smiled.

This time, he didn't actually think about anything. I just thought about it, and I wanted to do it.

Sima Liang was fed up with waiting, and he didn't want to wait any longer. Even if there is no harvest from going to Cold City, at least it can be regarded as a relaxation.

The recent inn accommodation is almost boring for him.

"Let's hope there's something fun on the way."

Three people and three horses, slowly walking along the road.

At the same time, inside the city of Wind and Sand in the southwest. Hu Yanzhen, the overseer, was looking at his subordinates with a fierce face.

"It's been a few days and you haven't found anyone? And the loot either? So clean? ”

"I'm sorry Your Highness, I've really dug three feet into the ground. Nothing was found. ”

"Well, let's move on. It's been a few days of repairing, so you should be able to go, right? Hu Yanzhen asked.

"This ......" his subordinates looked embarrassed.

Hu Yanzhen kicked hard and kicked his subordinates. made the opponent roll several times.

"Is it that Yu Xu won't let me move, if I hadn't ordered it in time this time. This Wind and Sand City is beaten down? ”

His subordinates crawled and knelt at the feet of Hu Yanzhen.

"I'm sorry Your Highness, it's really the general's insistence. He said that there was fraud, and it was impossible to fight under normal circumstances. And the situation in the city is too weird, even if there are no traps in the city, rash pursuit, there is a high probability that the whole army will be wiped out. ”

Hu Yanzhen was silent.

He's not hopelessly stupid. Although he didn't believe that he couldn't capture Wind Sand City, he still noticed the strange situation in the city. But for the sake of his overseer's face, he still didn't want to listen to Yu Xu's words.

"Send a small team and go to the front again. No, send some more people to look further afield. If it's okay, organize a wave of decent people tonight and push forward. ”

Hu Yanzhen didn't want to lose the exploits he had gained, and at the same time he wanted to get more. So moving forward and moving forward is the only thing he wants to do.

"Yes, Your Highness."

His subordinates took the order, and then ran to the south gate with their chests clutched.

On the towering city wall, Yu Xu, who was wearing armor and had a slender body, stood on the city tower, looking south at the desert.

He never thought that one day, he would be able to stand at the head of Fengsha City and look at the land of Li Kingdom.

So many years of peace, and knowledge of the situation in both countries.

Yu Xu knew it was a trap, but he couldn't help it.

He glanced at the herald beside him.

"Do you think we're really winning?"

"I don't think so. Instead...... "The herald stopped talking."

Yu Xu sighed.

He patted the herald on the shoulder.

"Even you can see it, but our Overseer Prince hasn't seen it yet. Aren't you kidding, you say? This is the first time I have fought this absurd battle, and it may be the last time. ”

"General, don't say that, it will be known by the prince's people. No accountability. The herald reminded.

Yu Xu smiled indifferently, he walked to the side of the city, and stared at the soldiers who were encamped inside.

"Old clothes and old armor, broken copper and iron. Don't you want to talk about such soldiers who are not much stronger than refugees? Well, I've lived enough, and I'm dead. I don't have any family anyway. By the way, do you have a family? ”

Yu Xu turned his head to look at the herald.

The soldier hesitated, his expression sad.

"Below, there are two younger brothers and a younger sister at home, as well as a wife who has been at the door. The old mother at home is dizzy, and the old father is also sick in bed all the year round. If he dies and gets some bereavement, the family may be better. ”

"It's good to have family. I'll let you go to Beijing to give an order later. By the way, come over here. ”

Yu Xu beckoned to the herald.

Then, he pulled out a golden object from his coat pocket. Then it was handed to the other party.

It looks like a talisman, although the surface is a little rough, but it is still shining, it seems that Yu Xu cherishes this thing very much, and he has touched this a lot.

"I don't need this thing anymore, it's gold, you can sell it for some money. In the event of a big defeat, you'd better not join the army. ”

The soldiers didn't dare to accept the amulet, but Yu Xu insisted on giving it to him.

The two pushed and shoved, and Hu Yanzhen's men ran to the city tower.

"General, the prince said that he would send more scouts to farther places to spy for information. If there is no anomaly, I plan to put together some soldiers at night to sneak attack. ”

Yu Xu stopped his movements and glanced at the other party.

He knew it was time to come, but it had come anyway.

"Okay, I'll arrange it back. You go and reply. ”

"Yes, General."

When the man left, Yu Xu looked at the herald again.

"You see, the war is about to start. You have two choices, one is to follow me to death, and the other is to take down the talisman and go to the imperial capital to give an order. ”

drive

Pinching the amulet, the herald quickly whipped and fled from Stormy Sand City.

The sky was getting dark, and a white light streaked across the starry sky.

The herald stopped his horse.

Look in the direction where the white mangs have disappeared. A bad premonition arose.

"Thank you, General. General, go all the way. ”

The herald knew that this time they had parted, and they would never see each other again.

He left a few tears in his eyes, then turned his head and hit the road again.

Crunch.

The tall gates were closed.

Yu Xu was dressed in leather armor and rode on a horse.

Probing is over, and there are no anomalies. So the sneak attack was naturally on the agenda.

Yu Xu saw through the ending and didn't want to continue to wait for it.

This time, he took the initiative to take the lead in the attack.

At least this way, Yu Xu died a more decent.

After riding for a while, he stopped and looked back at the soldiers who had followed.

"Soldiers, say a word of discouragement. Maybe it's better for us to die on this road. ”

"General, we know, that's why we followed."

"General, it's an honor for us to be on the road with you."

"Hu Yanzhen, that kid, I'm really fed up."

"That's right, that fart doesn't even know a little bit of military, let him supervise the war."

……

The words of the soldiers gradually became presumptuous, and it was clear that at the end of their lives, many things were no longer important.

Yu Xu looked at these familiar or unfamiliar faces and smiled.

He hasn't had this feeling for a long time, and he was killed by thieves since he beat his wife. He thought he would never find this feeling of warmth again.

"Soldiers, it is also my honor to be with you. his Huyanzhen, let's go and let us charge one last time. ”

"Rush."

"."

……

The soldiers took off their slightly heavier armor one after another. Then hurry up and try to be the leader.

Slowly in the darkness, a black-robed general who looked like a scholar was lying beside the rock on a high place.

He was a little surprised to see this group of people who didn't want to die.

"What is this, sneak attack? How can it be so fast, not armor-wearing? ”

"Second prince, could it be a scout?"

This black-robed general is Sima You, the second prince of the dynasty and the overseer of the 100,000 iron army on the border.

He frowned, and continued to look at the charging team.

"It's not like ah, how can there be such an inquiry. The scouts in front of them, after a little look, left, you see this, they are all about to rush to our ambush point. ”

"So what are we going to do?"

The second prince pondered for a while.

"Try to capture them alive, of course, if they are damaged, kill them directly. Of course, the preparations that need to be made can also go down. Tonight, it's time for a wave of victory. Otherwise, I would probably be scolded to death by the courtiers and my father. ”

At the end, the second prince laughed.

"Yes, Your Highness."

One herald went down, and more heralds were passed on.

Afterwards, several black horses scattered from the heights and went everywhere.

One of them followed in the direction of Yu Xu and the others until they overtook them.

Behind the boulder, a scarred general was closing his eyes.

"General, Your Highness said, it's time to do it. Soon, a group of enemy troops will come, and it is best to capture them alive, and if they are damaged, they will all be killed. ”

Cough.

Cough lightly.

The old general opened his eyes, and even in the dark of night, he could feel his killing intent.

"Then kill them all."

"Yes, General."

After the herald had left, the old general slowly stood up and took up his helmet.

"The second child's compassionate character still can't be changed. However, this is also good with my father. Otherwise, if a martial artist ascends the throne, it will not be messed up. ”

Speaking of the second prince, the old general's eyes were a little more tender.

Yu Xu and his party walked through the wasteland and came to a sand dune nearby.

Looking at this kind of terrain suitable for ambush, he instantly became vigilant.

Yu Xu pointed to the boulder, and then made a few gestures.

Then, the soldier nodded and dispersed.

Sou.

Sou.

Sou.

Count the sound of breaking wind.

Yu Xu was hit by two arrows. He hurriedly ducked from his horse.

He knew he was dead, but he still wanted to make a last stand.

But the old generals who can face them don't give them a positive chance at all.

He picked up the longbow and, with the help of the faint moonlight, aimed at Yu Xu again.

Sou.

Another arrow flew out, and Yu Xu lay on his stomach behind the horse, motionless.

As for the soldiers scattered around, they were in a similar situation, they were shot without seeing the enemy.

The old general held his sword and walked to Yu Xu's side.

After stabbing at the point, he flipped open the opponent's body.

"Yu Xu? So I know why? It's really not interesting to fight with such a thing. ”

"Bury him alone. Bury the rest. ”

After saying this, the old general took off his helmet, slowly walked behind the boulder, and continued to close his eyes and recuperate.

At the same time, in the Wind and Sand City, among the various wells and tunnels, a person in black with a dagger slowly came out.

These guys walked silently, like ghosts.

They split into two groups, one of which quickly ran to the east gate.

When these black-clothed men touched the city wall, the soldiers patrolling the desert country fell down one by one.

With a silent killing, the east gate was opened.

The other group quickly came to the largest camp in the city.

Of course, everywhere they passed, there was death.

"Your Excellency, don't do this."

"That's what I'm going to do. If I win this time, I may be able to succeed to the throne. You might even be able to be a concubine. ”

"Don't."

Hearing the ridiculous voice, the man in black paused.

Then they looked at each other and dispersed.

At about the same time, the soldiers guarding the tents were groped in the neck or shot in the throat by a hidden arrow.

Syllable.

Syllable.

The sound of falling shook Hu Yanzhen in the account.

"What's going on, what's wrong?"

Hearing that there was no movement outside, Hu Yanzhen felt bad.

He hurriedly got dressed.

Sou.

The cold glow brushed by.

Hu Yanzhen was the first to pull the woman to block the arrow.

"I am the prince of Moguo, you can't kill me. I am worthy, and my father will redeem me. ”

"Don't kill me, don't kill me."

The man in black walked into the tent.

"Your Excellency, all right. Then come with me. Of course you have to put down that corpse. ”

Hu Yanzhen was a little scared, but he didn't have a choice.

He lowered his hand to stop breathing and raised his hands above his head.

Sou.

Sou.

"Why. I am a prince and I am valuable. ”

The Man in Black did not answer his question.

One man stepped forward and made a stab, and then cut off the other's head.

"That's a great achievement."

"yes, maybe I can make a little general."

"Head, remember to give me a credit."

"No problem."

……

Next to Hu Yanzhen's headless corpse, there was the laughter of the man in black.

With torches lighting up the entire city, the sound of all kinds of fighting resounded endlessly.

This is not a war, this is a massacre.
