Volume 1 Troubled Boys Chapter 186 Iron and Blood Forges the Soul of the Army

The sun over the Thirteen Mountains somehow got into the clouds and began to be cloudy.

The black bamboo forest swayed in the wind, and between the clouds gathering and scattering, it was a constant transition of light and darkness.

The wind blew from one end of the canyon to the other, but it was not as fresh as before, but with too much blood.

The sound of horses' hooves shook the whole valley, and the fierce flying banner clearly wrote the word "Song", indicating that it was the army of the Great Song Dynasty, or the reinforcements.

It's a pity that except for Wan Yutang who survived alone in the canyon, there was no sign of any life, and together with the generals Dong Xian and Gao Chong, they all died in battle.

In front of the battle flag of the Song army, a black horse ran extremely fast, and Yue Fei was dressed all over his body, and his black cloak was whirring.

He was on horseback, his brows furrowed, he didn't take a breath at this speed, because he had already vaguely felt bad, if it weren't for the good news from Dong Xian's army from time to time, he would have led the army to catch up.

Beside him was a tall horse with a red color, extremely handsome, if it weren't for the constant control speed of the person on horseback, I am afraid that he would have surpassed Yue Fei long ago.

Luo Bei knew what Yue Fei was worried about, he was more sensitive to the environment than others, and he vaguely smelled the smell in the air that was getting thicker and thicker, and that smell was all too familiar to him.

He didn't say a word, but he followed Yue Fei closely.

Yue Yun and the others had already been overtaken by the two of them, and they were also hurrying at this time.

Dong Xian led the 20,000 guerrilla troops of his department to chase after Yan Wushu, and news would come every hour, all of which were good news, which not only crushed the Jin army's troops and horses, making its army completely retreat, but also killed countless enemies on the road.

However, until the early hours of the morning, there had been no news for several hours, and Yue Fei and the others became more and more anxious in the big tent, and the more they sent guards to investigate, but none of them returned.

The army seemed to have completely disappeared, and Yue Fei had no choice but to personally lead the army to investigate, leaving Niu Gao in the army, with Yue Yun, Yue Lei and Luo Bei by his side.

At this time, a heavy fog gradually began to fall in the canyon.

Yue Fei stopped his horse outside the valley, looking at the thickening fog and the unmistakable bloody aura, his heart began to sink.

Luo Bei grabbed the red coral and looked sideways at Yue Fei, only to see that his eyes were full of sadness.

"Uncle Yue, maybe they ......" He wanted to say something to comfort Yue Fei, but he also knew that the other possibilities were not much more.

"Get off the horse, let the army wait outside the valley, let's walk in" Yue Fei said briefly, although his heart was extremely eager, but he had always been cautious and tried to remain calm and calm.

The fog is rumbling, there is no way forward, and the danger is difficult to predict, which has always been a taboo for soldiers, so it is not suitable for large armies to enter the valley.

However, there was no trace of the rangers along the way, and judging by the situation, it was likely that they had passed through the canyon.

He looked at the fog in front of him and said slowly: "The weather in the Thirteen Ridges has always been fickle, and this sudden fog is extremely unfavorable to the army, I just hope that they have passed smoothly, otherwise, ......"

He didn't say any more, because the worry in his heart was getting deeper and deeper at the moment, and he really couldn't think too much about the good aspects of the past.

The two accompanying guards turned around to report Yue Fei's military order, and then Luo Bei accompanied Yue Fei into the valley on foot.

Pushing aside the layers of fog and slowly walking into the place as quiet as death, Yue Fei was speechless.

But Luo Bei could see how heavy his mind was at the moment.

The mist was like a stratus cloud, turning into wet droplets of water and falling on the face

, and gradually wet the clothes together.

When Luo Bei suddenly lowered his head, he saw the loess mixed with blood, which seemed to be an incomparably large and hideous face, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

How many deaths would it take for such a scene to happen?, he imagined it in his mind, gritting his teeth, not knowing whether the blood came from the enemy or ...... He didn't dare to think about it anymore, because judging from Yue Fei's expression, it was definitely not optimistic.

Each step Yue Fei took became heavier and heavier, the dew fell on his face, and a layer of crystal color formed on his heavy eyebrows, making him look as if he had aged a lot in an instant.

Luo Bei tried his best to walk in front of Yue Fei, because he was afraid that some danger would suddenly appear, Yue Fei naturally understood, and he didn't stop it, and the two kept that distance, not far or close.

The ground under his feet was soft and hard, and the mud stained with a lot of blood seemed to become sticky, Luo Bei didn't dare to walk too fast, but in fact, he could feel that there seemed to be only a faint gasp in the quiet environment in front of him.

After making sure that there was no danger ahead, Luo Bei walked faster, but he didn't expect that he suddenly stopped as soon as he picked up his pace and didn't take a few steps.

At that moment, he seemed to have stepped on something, making his body immediately become a little stiff, if it weren't for Yue Fei's big hand supporting his back in time, he might even fall down.

He slowly lowered his head, and saw a green face, some mud on his cheeks, a new scar on the peak of his eyebrows, his eyes were not big, but they were beautiful, but unfortunately his pupils had dilated, and his eyes had lost their look.

Luo Bei subconsciously looked at Yue Fei, and found that Yue Fei's expression was extremely gloomy, but he still tried his best to keep his composure, slowly squatted down, gently brushed the already gray eyes with his hand, and then said, "Let's take a look at the ...... ahead."

Yue Fei's words almost didn't allow Luo Bei to react, this time he overtook Luo Bei and walked in front, and Luo Bei had to hurry up to follow.

Then more and more corpses appeared, a pair of eyes that were not closed when they were about to die, just appeared in front of them, Yue Fei's gaze became heavier and heavier, but he did not let out a sigh, but became more and more silent.

At first, he tried to bend down as much as possible, and dressed and closed his eyes for those soldiers who wore armor and died on the battlefield, but there were more and more dead people, and he had no time to care.

When Yue Fei stood up, there was a shaking, Luo Bei was about to step forward to support him, but he was thrown away, and his eyes were full of life and death soldiers under his account, he really didn't want these brothers who had fought with him in the north and south and trusted him unconditionally to see a weak commander of the Yue family's army.

Even if these soldiers have been turned into cold corpses!

Luo Bei felt that his breathing was getting heavier, and when he raised his head, he saw the figure that gradually appeared in the mist, standing like a stone sculpture among thousands of corpses.

When he got closer, Yue Fei stopped and followed the corpse to look at the man.

Not long after, the person on the other side knelt straight down, and the grief that he had endured for a long time suddenly came like a tide the moment he saw Yue Fei.

A general who has never been afraid of death in half his life, he has gone through the vicissitudes of life, and he is used to seeing life and death on the battlefield, and when he sees the person he respects the most in his heart, all his strength suddenly bursts at that moment.

Luo Bei looked at Wan Yutang, who was scarred, and watched him kneel down in front of Yue Fei, tears streaming down his face.

Yue Fei held Wan Yutang's shoulders with both hands, this good brother who had been with him for many years, fragile like a child.

No one in this world is born strong, just because they have a choice when faced with those who need protection

Choice, only then do we have those persistent and firm eyes, and only then do we have those backs who do not hesitate to go against the grain.

But in reality, they may just be holding back their pain in front of the whole world, waiting until the dead of night to keep their tears to themselves.

Luo Bei stood among the corpses, feeling a little dazed at this moment, it was almost certain that the army of more than 20,000 people had been wiped out except for Wan Yutang.

What a terrible reality this is, if it weren't for the fact that he had already seen the tragedy of the battlefield battle, Luo Bei decided that he couldn't imagine what it would be like for so many lives to fall in a canyon?

Taking a deep breath, Luo Bei wanted to try his best to suppress the heart that was gradually becoming impetuous, he was afraid that the voice from nowhere would appear again in front of the blood, although he was not sure of anything, but he did not have much affection for the power and mysterious voice in his body.

It's a pity that this breath is full of blood, which makes him almost suffocated.

But strangely, the voice didn't appear, and it was surprisingly quiet.

"Yutang ......"

Yue Fei shouted, his voice had become a little hoarse.

Wan Yutang's eyes were still full of tears, and he raised his head to look at Yue Fei, seeing his tired eyes and graying temples.

"From the moment they walked into the barracks, everyone in this Yue family army was prepared, that is, they could turn into a cold corpse at any time, Yang Zaixing is like this, Dong Xian, Gao Zhong is like this, and you and I are like this......"

Although his voice was hoarse, he was undoubtedly the man's admired commander in chief.

"This defeat is my lack of thought, and I will ask the court for guilt, and now the Youyi army is completely annihilated, and you are the only one who survives......"

Yue Fei grabbed Wan Yutang's shoulder tightly and continued: "Although the army has died, as long as the iron and blood are not cold, the military spirit will not disperse!"

"Future...... I want you to regain the iron-blooded soul of the Youyi Army for the dead soldiers, and make their deaths worthwhile!"

Wan Yutang looked at Yue Fei, as if he saw his belief that he had never moved slightly, although he had won more and lost less over the years, but the soldiers around him didn't know how many had died, he knew that Yue Fei regarded everyone as a brother or a child, he was not without sadness, maybe he hid the sadness in his heart too deeply.

This is the path he wants to take, and he is probably destined to be lonely at the moment of choice.

Wan Yutang nodded slowly.

What is iron and blood, and what is the soul of the army?

It's just a great wall of flesh and blood built with blood!

Maybe one day, someone or someone on the Wall will suddenly fall, and someone else will fill it.

Because as long as the "Great Wall in my heart" does not fall, this country and this nation will still exist.

At this time, Yue Lei had also arrived, and when he saw the three independent people among the countless corpses, his face was also pale like a blank piece of paper.

He clenched his fists tightly, but he didn't know where to use his strength.

The army then arrived, and some of these corpses had been crushed to pieces by the Tiehua cart, and they could never get them back to their original state, and it was impossible for them to bring all the corpses back, so they had to find a clearing in the black bamboo forest and dig a few large pits to bury them.

Yue Fei looked at the corpses that had been carried away, and didn't say a word until the soldiers found the bodies of Dong Xian and Gao Chong, he couldn't hold back any longer, a mouthful of blood spurted out, if it wasn't for Yue Lei and Luo Bei by his side in time to support him, he would have fallen down a long time ago.

Yue Fei fainted, his face turned pale, and everyone had to carry him out of the valley.
