Chapter 399: The Burden
"Why did you come out?" Zhou Ping turned around and hugged Chu Ci, and said softly, "It's cold at night, you are wearing too little." ”
"It doesn't matter. Chu Ci buried his head in Zhou Ping's arms and said softly, "I know you can't put it here, I understand." ”
Zhou Ping rubbed Chu Ci's head dotingly, and said with a smile, "If you can't let it go, you have to put it down, now I'm already a waste, and if I don't leave, it will only add trouble to the third war zone......"
Chu Ci was silent for a long time when he heard this, and finally slowly spoke, "Zhou Ping, have you ever thought that in fact, you can not leave?"
"Not leaving?" Zhou Ping's face changed slightly, this was the question he wanted to avoid the most now, originally he thought that Chu Ci would not mention this matter, but she mentioned it at this moment.
Perhaps, it is precisely because Chu Ci knows Zhou Ping too well that he will mention this matter now......
"Chu Ci, do you know what I've been doing all my life?" Zhou Ping sighed lightly and held Chu Ci's hand, and said slowly, "My life seems to be born for the battlefield, Jin Ge Iron Horse, fighting on the battlefield, and now it is half a life......
"Sometimes I wonder if there is no me in this world, what will happen to the battlefields I have walked through, what will happen to the people I have met, but think about it, maybe there is not much difference, life in this huge world, has always been small, the world will not stop because of my departure, will it?"
"You're right. Chu Ci gently patted Zhou Ping's back and comforted, "You have borne too much over the years, but have you ever thought about why you are so tired?"
Zhou Ping frowned, unable to understand what Chu Ci meant, only to see Chu Ci pointing at himself and saying, "Because you have always borne these things alone, you will never think of letting the people around you worry about you, whether it is me or Zhang Xiaoyue or Zhang Hanzhong, you have never shared any of your troubles with us." ”
"If you think about it carefully, even if your soul is broken and you are depressed, you don't want to come to us, just go out of the city alone to relax. Chu Ci stroked Zhou Ping's face with some distress, and muttered, "Actually, why are you doing this?"
"If there is someone in this world who is destined to be sad and miserable, then I will hope that person is me, and as long as you can live happily, then I will be happy too. Zhou Ping said these words slowly, his eyes flashed with tears, and his nose was slightly sour.
His emotions and pressure have been backlogged for too long, some people may think that Zhou Ping has been in the hidden world in Wuyin Mountain for two years, how can there be such a big pressure, that is because they don't know Zhou Ping's mood when he was in Wuyin Mountain, he lives in guilt all the time, and this kind of mental pressure generated by guilt is not inferior to the pressure on the battlefield.
Zhou Ping is not a fairy, he is just an ordinary person, maybe his own experience will make him stronger, but there is a threshold for these pressures after all, if Zhou Ping is willing to find someone to share and relieve these pressures, then the situation may be much better, but Zhou Ping is unwilling to let his troubles and depression affect the people around him because of his personality.
"Don't care about that. Chu Ci shook his head and said, "Zhou Ping, I followed you to the battlefield just to tell you one thing, try your best to do what you want to do, although I don't want you to continue to stay on the battlefield and take risks, but if you really go to the rear, will you be able to live the life you want?"
"The brothers on the front line are fighting to the death, do you sleep soundly?"
Chu Ci squeezed Zhou Ping's hand firmly, and said word by word, "If you choose to leave, I will definitely support you, because this is the result I want to see the most, but no matter what choice you make, you are not allowed to regret it!"
Do you regret it......
Just as Zhou Ping's eyes were lost in thought, a guard in the distance suddenly yelled.
"There is an abnormal movement in the orc troops!!"
Zhou Ping trembled violently, and immediately used his soul power to barely use his yin and yang pupils to look at the orc troops in the distance, only to see that thousands of orc troops suddenly began to be restless, and a small number of orc troops actually rushed directly to the city and grinned at the guards on the city wall.
Zhou Ping judged the movement of the beast clan in the shortest possible time, and shouted in a deep voice, "Immediately dispatch the student army to climb the city wall, and cooperate with the defenders to use magic attacks! Transfer the war hammer battalion to the east city, the main direction of attack of these beast clan troops is the east city wall!"
The guards next to him did not hesitate at all, and directly passed on Zhou Ping's orders, after a series of battles, all the soldiers in the third war zone have a fanatical confidence in Zhou Ping's military strength, since Zhou Ping said so, then the beast clan will definitely do it!
"The order is for all members of the Yama army to be on standby, ready to support ...... at any time"
One order after another came from Zhou Ping's mouth, and the soldiers of the entire Third War Zone did not hesitate at all, and they all fulfilled their duties and carried out the city defense work in an orderly manner according to Zhou Ping's orders.
After a while, Zhang Xiaoyue, Zhang Hanzhong, Huo Zhun, Huang Ren, and Hanjiu all came to Zhou Ping, Zhou Ping didn't say anything to them, but just said his thoughts and arrangements, and everyone had no objections, and began to gradually enter the battle according to Zhou Ping's deployment.
At midnight, the beast troops in the direction of the main gate began a large-scale feint, Zhou Ping immediately stood on the city wall and commanded the command to line up for defense, half an hour later, a terrifying beast howl suddenly came from the east, Zhou Ping's face sank, although he had already deployed means in the east city, and sent Huang Ren and Hanjiu over, but when he heard this beast howl, he still couldn't help but start worrying.
"The eastern city wall may not be their ultimate goal!" Zhou Ping said in a deep voice, "If there is only one Xuanjing beast clan in the eastern city, then immediately transfer Zhang Xiaoyue to the western city, and dispatch the Yama army to move closer to the northern city, and always observe the surrounding enemy situation!"
Facts have proved that Zhou Ping is right, the two attacks on the main gate and the east city seem to be fierce, but in fact they are all feints of the beast clan, after the two battlefields were fully ignited, an elite wolf clan army immediately began to launch a fierce attack in the north city, and the Yama army, which had been waiting in the north city for a long time, immediately relied on the city wall to start blocking layer by layer.
Zhang Xiaoyue heard the news and immediately supported Beicheng, and fought with the wolf clan powerhouse of the Beicheng siege force, now Zhang Xiaoyue has experienced fighting in turns, and has already grown a lot, the moon-chasing realm brought by the moon-chasing soul seed allows him to be invincible among the strong people in the same realm, under his leadership, the wolf clan raid troops on the north city wall were defeated and retreated, and soon withdrew from the city defense.
The sky is already dark, the attack force of the beast clan fades like a tide, and the choice of night attack is because the vast majority of the beast clan have night vision ability, but of course their advantage will not exist at dawn, the same age of the beast army is not a fool, the most difficult bones to gnaw in the third war zone are here, and it is strange that it can be easily taken.
However, he is very patient, anyway, the combat power and strength of his army surpass Zhou Ping, rather than taking the risk of fighting Zhou Ping to the death now, it is better to grind him to death slowly!
At this time, Zhou Ping was frowning and commanding the troops to rearrange official affairs at the head of the city, arrange the wounded soldiers, and ask Zhang Hanzhong to send a message to the troops on his behalf to inquire about the situation......
Although the battle was fought very quickly, under the command of Zhou Ping, the raid tactics of the orcs did not have much effect, but the terrans took advantage of the city walls and trap fortifications to successfully leave behind many orc corpses......
"Not only the third war zone, but other war zones were also attacked by the beast clan almost at the same time!" Zhang Hanzhong said in a deep voice, "It seems that the beast clan is ready to start the war completely!"
"Report on the casualties. Zhou Ping said in a deep voice.
"Nine hundred and seventy-three people were killed in the battle of Dongcheng, and ...... wounded"
Zhang Hanzhong gathered and integrated the battle damage of this battle according to Zhou Ping's instructions, and reported it directly to Zhou Ping, who was just frowning from beginning to end, not knowing what he was thinking.
Soon, Zhang Xiaoyue and the others also dealt with the matters at hand and came to Zhou Ping, Zhou Ping looked at the beast clan troops that could even be seen from afar, and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid it's not so simple this time, maybe the beast clan is preparing to launch a full-scale attack on the human race!"
Everyone looked at Zhou Ping with solemn faces, although Zhou Ping had been preparing to leave before, but at the moment of the war, the first thing they thought of was Zhou Ping, in the hearts of these people, including all the soldiers in the third war zone, Zhou Ping has become a symbol, as long as it is what he said, as long as it is his decision, it must be right, and it will definitely lead them to success!
"Now the situation is very complicated, I am going to contact Marshal Chu Li first, after all, this is a campaign-level military deployment, and our third theater must be ready to fight hand in hand with other theaters at any time while managing the affairs of its own theater!"
Huo Zhun and Huang Ren nodded in unison, except for Zhou Ping and Zhang Hanzhong, only the two of them have the ability to coordinate the overall situation, now that the battlefield is in full swing, it is necessary to maintain close contact with other theaters and a certain strategic deployment!
Zhou Ping first contacted other cities and subordinate troops in the third war zone to learn about the battle situation, the beast clan troops are very smart, they did not move those powerful troops and strong cities at the first time, so the major cities except for Zhou Ping's Yunshui City was besieged for the time being, but some small troops were not so lucky, they were killed by the beasts for the first time, and the purpose of the beasts was also very clear, as far as possible to kill and injure the living forces of the Terrans, as long as the Terran troops were killed and wounded, it was earned for them!
Listening to Zhang Hanzhong tell the casualty reports, Zhou Ping closed his eyes slightly, he had been on the battlefield for a long time and was used to seeing life and death parting, but such a degree of casualty data still made him feel a little regretful.
"Just convey it to Marshal Chu Li according to this casualty report and the battle situation. Zhou Ping said in a deep voice, "Now the Ten Thousand Beast City is definitely a mess, we must report the situation in the Third War Zone as soon as possible, and let Marshal Chu Li complete the military assessment of the Third War Zone Beast Clan as soon as possible!"
Lieutenant General Zhang Han's message was about to be sent, and Zhou Ping was finally relieved at this time, at this time he was tired, after all, now he had no soul seed and True Yuan Xuanqi power to support, and his physical strength was at most the body of a strong person in the injured realm, and he would naturally feel very tired after personally commanding this battle.
Seeing the tiredness between Zhou Ping's eyebrows and eyes, Zhang Xiaoyue said softly, "Why don't you take a rest first, after all, you have just recovered from a serious injury......
"No need!" Zhou Ping said in a deep voice, "Now the beast clan troops are acting strangely, we must find out their purpose in the shortest possible time, at least we can't be beaten here like headless flies!"
In this case, the most suitable thing to send is the Tanma, but if the Tanma goes out of the city, their situation will be extremely dangerous, after all, now the orc troops have almost occupied almost all the forests outside the city, once they are discovered, there will be only one way to die!
"We'll arrange this, so you'd better get some rest as soon as possible. Huang Ren saw that Zhou Ping was about to stand unsteadily, and softly comforted, "If you really fall now, then our third war zone is really going to end!"
Zhou Ping's body trembled slightly when he heard this, he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely hold on until this battle is over, you don't have to worry!"
Huo Zhun slowly clenched his fists, stared at Zhou Ping's eyes and said, "The battle can't be won't be won, but there is only one Zhou Ping, now that you have been abolished, if even your whole person is abolished, then who will control the overall situation in our third war zone?"
"If you really slapped your ass and left, but you stayed! Why did you stay? Isn't it for us old fellows?"
"How far do you want to carry the burden on you, do you have to crush your waist before you stop?"
Zhou Ping's eyes were slightly red, looking at this veteran whose sideburns were already a little pale, and muttered, "I just want to do something more for you before leaving, in fact, I should have left a long time ago, but I just ......"
"Nothing just. Huo Zhun walked over and supported the weak Zhou Ping with Chu Ci, and said with red eyes, "In the past, you were carrying us, but now you can't hold on, it should be us who bears you!"
Zhang Xiaoyue, Zhang Hanzhong, Huang Ren, and Hanjiu all surrounded them, and several people helped Zhou Ping down the city wall.
Who would have imagined that this young man who was once the most energetic in Chang'an City, a man who was known as an invincible myth on the battlefield, now even needs someone to support him when he walks down the city wall......
Walking down the city wall, Zhou Ping saw the wounded soldiers being bandaged everywhere and the rows of soldiers who died in battle covered with white cloths, choked and took a deep breath, and then slowly pushed away the people who were supporting him around him.
When many soldiers saw this scene, they all looked in the direction of Zhou Ping and them, only to see Zhou Ping trembling and wiping away the tears on his face, gritting his teeth and saying word by word, "I'm such a fucking bastard!"
"The soldiers are bleeding on the front line, but I am thinking about how to return to the rear to avoid the war, and now the third theater crisis meeting, even if I return to the rear, what kind of face do I have to survive in this world!"
