Chapter Forty-Eight: Return to the Wind
The arrows broke through the air, whistling, and in the setting sun, like raindrops, went straight to Yang Ning on the chain bridge.
"Come again......" Yang Ning waved his sword more than once, and retreated while dealing with the arrows.
With Yang Ning's movements, the chain bridge clanged and shook in the air.
Even if the sun shines for a day, the iron cable is still cold and stout, as if everything in the outside world has nothing to do with it, and its mission is only to connect the two sides of the strait and become the only channel.
"Jin Hang, it's not a way to go on like this...... Jiang Yue knew that he had made a big mistake and wanted to try his best to redeem it, but it was impossible to continue with this situation, because it was only at this time that he understood that this black-shirted young man had comprehended the sword qi at all, but a higher-level sword intent.
Jin Hang understood Jiang Yue's mood, but in the face of such a situation, he himself was also helpless, and said, "But what can I do?" ”
Previously, they chased and killed Yang Ning and the two of them with thousands of iron horses, and they were played around by others, and they could be said to have suffered heavy losses: first the captain Wu Yang died, and then in the dense forest, more than 300 people became dry corpses.
For such a result, Jin Hang didn't know how to explain. Because this iron cavalry is not an ordinary soldier, but the elite of the elite, this is the main force of the attack on the Heavenly Trench, but it is a warrior riding the Wind Leaping Beast.
But because of his greed, more than 300 people died in vain.
Jin Hang finally had a feeling of coldness until this moment. Catch up with them? caught up, but the people had already boarded the chain bridge, and with his strength, he wanted to pass, which was a matter of blink of an eye.
The pursuit of a thousand men ended in failure. Jin Hang didn't know how to explain.
Jiang Yue knew about the Leaping Wind Beast, and he also knew what the Leaping Wind Beast meant to the Yuci Empire, but such a secret leak was too big a blow to the Yuci Empire.
"The guards obey the order and hunt down this person...... Jiang Yue has no choice but to hunt down and kill in this way.
"Yes......"
The big mistake has been made, and if you want to make up for the big mistake, you can only fill it with your life.
Even if he left it alone, Jiang Yue knew that he would not be able to escape death, and it was better to let himself die on the front line than to die under the military law of the empire.
The thousand-strong guards, in a manner that rushed in, rushed onto the chain bridge.
The two sides of the strait are more than 20 zhang apart, and the already unstable chain bridge is even more shaky.
Suspended in the air, the sound of chains crashing, crisp and still crisp.
On the side of Liuyun Country, someone noticed the situation on the other side and said, "Captain, it seems that someone is rushing the bridge on the other side......
"Who rushed the bridge?"
"It seems to be a guard on the other side, but in the middle of the bridge, there seems to be someone ......."
Because of the sunset, the vision has blurred signs, and the vision is not very real. But the guards on the side of the Liuyun Country also knew that it was impossible to attack the Liuyun Kingdom through the chain bridge.
"Could it be that General Burning Cold is back?" The captain guessed.
"No, General Burning Han and General Yang Ning have only been gone for a few days, so they shouldn't have come back so soon, right?"
"That's right, but why did the other side's guards storm the bridge?"
"I don't know."
……
The guards on the side of the Liuyun Kingdom finally chose to move.
Although it is almost impossible for a thousand-strong guard to break through the only passage, the chain bridge, it is still necessary to prepare in advance.
"Draw the bow with all your might, you can't let these puppies have a good time." The captain drew his bow and shot his sword at the bridge opposite.
Yang Ning saw that the Liuyun Kingdom side moved, and the swallow swinging method unfolded, shuttling on the iron chain, quickly skimming, and arrived at the opposite bank in an instant.
"It's over......" Jiang Yue looked at Yang Ning, who was blurred in the sunset, knowing that it was impossible for him to stop the man's footsteps from going back, and sat on the ground weakly.
"Yes, it's over......" Jin Hang was wearing the armor of a cavalryman, and his eyes finally showed a taste of helplessness.
In fact, Jin Hang knew that when he was chasing close to the dense forest, it was impossible to intercept Yang Ning, but he still hoped that a miracle would occur.
But now, the miracle is gone, because he not only successfully passed the pursuit of the thousand-man iron horsemen, but also played the regimental rotation of the guards guarding the iron rope.
"Jiang Yue, you and I are finished......"
Jin Hang was desperate.
Under the sunset, the two sat weakly on the ground, their arms hanging down for two days, and they lost a trace of energy.
"Captain, what do we do now?" One of the guards asked.
Jiang Yue didn't know what he should do, because he not only let go of the enemy, but damned it also let go of the enemy who carried important information.
Can the general forgive him such a sin? No, that's for sure.
After a while, the two gradually came back to their senses. "Tell to go down, no one is allowed to pass near the end of the moat, and violators will be killed." Jiang Yue and Jin Hang looked at the other side, and there was a kind of longing, eager to land on the opposite side.
But the two of them knew that they had no chance in this life, and they would never have the opportunity to land on the other side again.
Under the sunset, two lonely figures stared at the cold moat, unable to return to their senses for a long time.
Yang Ning crossed the chain bridge and ushered in a large area of laughter.
"General Yang Ning, it's so good to cultivate......" The captain couldn't help but praise.
I still remember that Yang Ning and Burning Han left, that is, a few days ago, I thought it would take many days for them to come back, or there was no news of them, but I didn't expect that a few days later, Yang Ning turned around.
"General, I heard that you went to Yuci, what important mission is there, what is it?" Someone couldn't help but be curious and asked.
Yang Ning was upright and said, "Soldiers, I'm afraid we have a battle to fight......"
Yang Ning knew in his heart that he had already gotten the news about the Wind Leaping Beast, so Zhao Dongyan would definitely break the kettle and be desperate in order to fight to the death.
Therefore, next, the Tempest Army may have to face the 500,000 army of the Ushi Empire.
"What, another war?"
"Yes, after fighting for many years, everyone is tired, I really can't understand this Yuci Empire, the end of the sky is the heaven, they can't get by, we can't get by, isn't it good? Why do you always have to fight to the death...... "A guard soldier is emaciated, has been guarding the chain bridge for many years, and is very disgusted with war.
"I'm afraid it won't be this time...... Yang Ning stopped talking, then diverted the topic and said, "I'll go back and see the general, please make a decision." ”
Yang Ning said goodbye to the guards and went straight to the camp of the Swift Wind Army.
As night fell, the earth began to fall silent, but in the Qingsong Mountains, it began to be lively, and the military camp, which was supposed to be silent, was also lively tonight.
Yang Ning returned to the barracks and went straight to Qin Feng's tent.
"General......."
"Coming back?" Qin Feng asked.
Yang Ning nodded, the meaning was obvious, that is, the task was completed.
Qin Feng took a cup of tea, walked to Yang Ning's side, and said, "Let's have a cup of tea first." "Because Yang Ning looks dusty, with the smell of dust that has been weathered.
Yang Ning took the tea and drank it all.
"Let's talk about it." Qin Feng sat on the Eight Immortal Chair next to Yang Ning, without a trace of the aura of a general's superior, full of expectations.
"General, I'd better release Big Brother Burning Han first." As he spoke, Yang Ning took out his space pot.
The Burning Chill is released from the spout.
"I didn't expect you to have a space spirit weapon, it seems that you really have great luck." Qin Feng saw that Yang Ning did not hide a trace, and naturally admired Yang Ning even more, and felt more and more that his original decision was correct.
"It's just a coincidence." Yang Ning smiled slightly. For this space pot, as Yang Ning said, it is indeed a coincidence, thinking of this, I can't help but think of the two sloppy old men in Qingming Town.
"Maybe they're the real masters." Yang Ning sighed in his heart, picked up Burning Han, and said, "General, Brother Burning Han was pierced by the enemy's arrow, so it's important to heal his injuries first." ”
"Hmm." Qin Feng nodded.
Qin Feng took out a jade bottle from his arms, opened it, and there was a strange medicinal fragrance.
"It's ......"
"This is the Rejuvenation Pill, as long as it is not a fatal injury, the elixir that can make the injured recover quickly, belongs to the elixir level." Qin Feng explained.
Yang Ning didn't know much about the medicine path, and could only watch Qin Feng heal the cold.
But it made Yang Ning discover a secret. That is Qin Feng in front of him, he turned out to be a strong man, at least he is also a mid-level mountain building realm. This made Yang Ning a little surprised, and at the same time, he had some doubts about Qin Feng's identity.
With such a cultivation, how could he be willing to be a secular general, it was very unexpected, but Yang Ning didn't ask, after all, this is someone's secret.
Half an hour later, Qin Feng's healing for Burning Cold was finally over, and with the help of the Rejuvenation Pill, the wound recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Burning Cold also came to his senses.
"Big Brother Burning Cold......"
Burning Han opened his eyes and saw Qin Feng, he was surprised, and said weakly: "General......" wanted to get up, but was stopped by Qin Feng.
"You can lie down in peace." Qin Feng knew that the injury suffered by Burning Han wanted to heal, it was impossible to heal without ten days and half a month, especially since the wound had just been treated, there was no need to let him move.
"Yes." Burning cold can only lie down.
"Yang Ning, tell me, what did you find on this trip?"
"General, we have discovered each other's secret ......"
After nearly half an hour of telling, Yang Ning finally told what happened to his trip.
"You're saying they've managed to breed a beast that can leap over the moats?" Qin Feng looked at Yang Ning in disbelief, and then at Burning Cold.
"General, this is what we have seen with our own eyes, this wind leaping beast leaps twenty feet, and it is even more than enough." Yang Ning carefully recounted the scene at that time.
Qin Feng frowned. The tug-of-war between the two sides has been fought for nearly thirty or forty years, during which there have been countless casualties, and Yu Ci is constantly trying in order to jump over the moat, but now if it really succeeds, this will be a catastrophe for the Liuyun Kingdom.
Qin Feng thought hard, but found that there was no way. Because Zhao Dongyan himself knows too well this month, and according to what Yang Ning said, he already knows the identities of Yang Ning and Burning Han, so that is to say, tomorrow at the earliest, and the day after tomorrow at the latest, the war will start.
And in the face of the 500,000 army of the Yuci Empire, with less than 200,000 troops, can the Hurricane Army really be able to stop it?
Qin Feng knew that this was difficult, very difficult.
Just when Qin Feng inadvertently wanted to ask Yang Ning if there was a way, he glanced at Yang Ning, but found that Yang Ning's face was relaxed, not at all like the tension of the other party's army, and asked, "Yang Ning, do you have a way?" ”
Yang Ning said: "General, didn't I already say the method just now, it's actually very simple......"
"You mean fire?" Qin Feng is not a stupid person, on the contrary, he can achieve the position of a great general, and he is also a famous general, so he is naturally familiar with military affairs.
Yang Ning nodded.
"But, what if Zhao Dongyan deliberately exposed it to you?" Qin Feng said suspiciously.
"Probably not, after all, at that time, those 20,000 Wind Leaping Beasts were out of control, but they couldn't be controlled in time, and I am afraid that they would lose even more. I don't think they will be so generous......" Yang Ning didn't dare to guarantee it, after all, what Qin Feng said was very reasonable, and no one could guarantee that this was something that Zhao Dongyan could expose to the two of them.
"General, I don't think so." Burning Han lay on the bed and said affirmatively.
"Oh? Let's talk about it......" Qin Feng's eyes moved to the bed.
"In that case, of course, they would choose to capture the Leaping Wind Beast first, because it was the only way they wanted to jump over the moat. Once the number is small, it will be useless, so 20,000 Wind Leaping Beasts cannot be missing. It should not be easy to cultivate such a fierce beast. So they can't afford to lose. ”
Burning Cold's face was pale, but it was already recovering.
"Hmm." Qin Feng nodded.
"Tomorrow morning, the congregation will assemble." Qin Feng soon had a plan.
