Chapter Thirty-Seven: Blood-stained Sky Appreciation of Dan's Heart

Du Kai sighed and said, "At that time, I asked him to break out, but I saw him suffer heavy injuries from a distance, but someone protected him to break out, and I don't know what happened to him later?"

When Zhi Tong heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Then he went back?"

Du Kai's mouth moved, but he still said: "I sent people to inquire, but they all said that he didn't return home, and I think it was too bad luck." ”

When Zhi Tong heard this, he burst into tears again and again, and was extremely sad.

Seeing this, the boss asked, "Do you know the girl and General Du?"

Du Kai hurriedly said: "Let the coach smile, I can't control my relatives today." ”

The coach laughed and said, "It's okay, it's human nature." Who is this?" said he only wanted to veil the woman.

Du Kai introduced: "This is the sister of Xia Yi, and she is also the daughter of General Zhi Peng. ”

The boss sighed and said: "General Zhe is a hero I admire, although we are enemies, but his ability makes me admire." It's a pity that such a person died in the end under the calculation of the villain. ”

Wu Yande suddenly said in a loud voice: "Senior Sister Su, it is a blessing that you can see your righteous brother again and meet him, and you should be happy." ”

Su Yuanyuan saw that Zhitong had been sad, and said, "Okay, let's get here first, let's deal with business first." ”

The coach nodded and said, "Yes, it's important to get down to business, and it's time to catch up." ”

Wu Yande saw that Du Kai was the righteous brother of Zhitong, his expression changed, and he said with a smile: "Boss, it's better to let me go down." ”

The coach laughed and said, "Okay, if there is a witch boy, he will definitely be caught." Come and pour wine for the witch prince. ”

Wu Yande laughed and said, "No need, wait until I take his head and drink it when I come back." So saying, he went out of the tent.

When the big man saw that it was a young man who had not ridden a horse, he asked, "Who are you?"

Wu Yande laughed and said, "Dead people don't need to know my name. ”

Dahan's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "What a big breath, and I'm not afraid of flashing my tongue." ”

After speaking, the big man rushed towards Wu Yande.

Wu Yande smiled contemptuously, pulled out two scimitars from behind his back, and greeted them.

The two knives resonated, and they staggered by.

Wu Yande put away the knife and stood, the big man's eyes flashed with disbelief and unwillingness, he threw the knife, covered his neck with his hand, but it had no effect, the blood in his hand kept flowing out, and he fell to the ground unwillingly.

The boss looked at Wu Yande, who came back with the head of the big man, with a happy expression, and said: "Wu Gongzi is really strong in martial arts, come and serve wine." ”

On the city wall of Yuncheng, Zhang Ye sighed and smashed his fist on the city wall, and the morale that had been accumulated with great difficulty fell short.

Neither side sent any more people to challenge.

The city lord Shen Liang held a banquet in the mansion to welcome the people in the rivers and lakes who came to help. Previously, due to the challenge of the enemy, Shen Liang did not have time to greet everyone.

The heroes that Yi Sitong found were all disciples of some sects and rangers who were closer. King Kong Hall came to Tong Zhan and Mo Huang and two disciples, and the most unexpected thing was that there were also people from the Canglan Sect, and it was Meng Ruyi who brought Li Yanfang and six other disciples.

Shen Liang raised his glass and said: "Thank you heroes for coming to Yuncheng to help, because of the enemy's provocation before, I didn't receive everyone in time, and I hope to forgive you." Shen did it first to show his apologies. ”

Tong Zhan stood up and said, "General Shen is busy with military affairs, we can all understand it. ”

Shen Liang poured another bowl of wine and said, "Okay, everyone drink together, I believe that with your help, we will definitely be able to hold Yuncheng." ”

A ranger asked, "Dare to ask the general, how many troops are there in this city?"

Shen Liang chuckled in his heart and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there are currently 80,000 soldiers in Yuncheng, all of whom are elite soldiers. Another 50,000 are on their way. ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts were much more settled.

After the banquet, they went back to rest.

Zhang Tingyu looked at Meng Ruyi and the others and asked, "Senior Sister Meng, why are you here?"

Meng Ruyi asked rhetorically, "Can't we come?"

Zhang Tingyu opened his mouth and didn't say it. Yi Sitong said: "Senior brother, that's not what I mean, the battlefield is too bloody after all, and it's still not suitable for women." ”

Meng Ruyi didn't speak, Li Yanfang said with a smile: "Then you mean to look down on our women?"

Yi Sitong was also embarrassed, the more he explained, the more annoying he became.

"That is, if you men can come, we women can also come. That Senior Sister Gu shouted.

Yi Sitong said secretly: "It's still senior brother wise, no wonder there is no explanation." ”

In the General's Mansion, Zhang Ye looked at Shen Liang with a sad face and said, "General, we obviously only have 30,000 shrewd, even if we add those old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, there are only less than 60,000, and we have no combat effectiveness at all." How do you say eighty thousand?"

Shen Liang said: "If you don't say that, how can you say it? Say that we only have 30,000 people to fight? Not even a fraction of the others? Those people can still stay and help us fight the enemy?"

Zhang Ye sighed and said, "But if that's the case, they'll find out sooner or later?

"It's a while to be able to drag it out for a while, I just hope that the reinforcements from the imperial court will come soon. Shen Liang said helplessly.

Zhang Ye hesitated: "Now that the imperial court is under attack on all sides, do you really have reinforcements to help us?"

Shen Liang's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Zhang Ye with a scrutinizing eye and said, "Are you suspicious of the imperial court?"

Zhang Ye was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The last general will not dare." ”

Shen Liang snorted coldly and said: "Just ask what you should ask, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, so that you can live a long time." ”

Zhang Ye waited for Shen Liang to leave before daring to raise his head, he took a long breath and said secretly: "I'm afraid this Yuncheng can't be prevented, I should have prepared early." ”

But they didn't know that a figure not far from them listened to their conversation.

"Master, what you expected is really good, he is really lying to us, the defenders here do not have 80,000 at all, only more than 30,000 can fight, and the remaining 20,000 people are old, weak, sick and disabled. I think any other reinforcements are also fake. Deng Junming said.

It turned out that Wu Yu didn't believe Shen Liang at all, and sent Deng Junming to listen to them secretly.

Wu Yu nodded and said, "Sure enough, as I expected, the imperial court simply does not have enough troops to fight this battle. If we continue to stay here, we will only be their pawns, and we will die at any time. Senior nephew Zhang, I suggest that we go back and leave it alone. ”

Zhang Tingyu frowned and thought about it, looked at everyone and asked, "You also heard Uncle Wu's words, what do you think?"

"I think Uncle Wu is right, the battlefield is not a child's play, they treat us as fools, we just don't care, go back to the valley. A disciple said.

A few people shouted: "Yes, let's go back to the valley." ”

Zhang Tingyu looked at Yi Sitong and said, "Senior Brother Yi, what do you think?"

Yi Sitong looked at everyone and said, "Uncle Wu, senior brothers, we are here to defend our own homeland and protect the common people, not just for the imperial court. If the imperial court is defeated, the first to suffer is the common people, and when the Hongguo army ravages the Central Plains, how can our Flame Valley be safe and sound? I am afraid that there will be no one to help us at that time. So I think we're going to stay and defend, it's weak, but it's a force. ”

Zhang Tingyu nodded and said, "That's a good point, there are eggs under the nest?

Everyone was also excited, and they all shouted: "Okay, senior brother, you say to stay, we will stay." ”

A hint of annoyance flashed in Wu Yu's eyes, and he was not optimistic about this battle at all.

In a tent in the Hong army camp, Du Kai looked at the familiar and delicate cheek in front of him, even if he was a man, he couldn't help but burst into tears. He asked, "Tong'er, why did you end up in Hongguo? and became a disciple of the Ice and Snow Mountain Lord?"

Zhi Tong said with red eyes: "Not long after my father was defeated, the imperial court ordered to behead the whole family, and it was Uncle Wang who desperately took me to escape, but unfortunately they all died."

I fled all the way north, and later met a Hongguo straggler, I thought it would be impossible to escape death, but the mountain lord suddenly appeared and saved me. He also took me to the Ice and Snow Mountain and accepted me as a disciple.

I've been in the mountains for more than a year, and my kung fu has improved very quickly, and now I'm afraid I'm not under you, Brother Kai. ”

Ji Tong said it very easily, skipping her hardships.

But Du Kai can imagine the hardships of a girl fleeing alone, and it is hard to imagine how much she suffered. He also knew that his family was beheaded all over the house, and he thought that there was only revenge left for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect to see Ji Tong again, and he knew that his mission was no longer just revenge.

He will always remember the first time he met Zhitong, when he was just a little beggar.

He was very hungry that day, and saw a man in a gorgeous dress walking down the street with a little girl in a floral dress. So he went up and stole the man's money bag, but was caught by the man.

He thought it would be a violent beating, but there was indeed an extremely beautiful voice: "Father, let this brother go." ”

The sound was like a spring breeze blowing on the earth in March, bringing out green buds and mountain flowers all over the ground. It is like the warm sun in winter, which warms the whole winter.

He looked at the little girl with a long-lost look of shame.

The man looked at him and was ashamed, and thought that he could still be edified, so he inquired about his background, saw that he had read, and finally adopted him as a righteous son.

Later, he learned that the man was the military god of Zhao State, Peng.

Zhi Peng taught him the art of war, passed on his martial arts, and trained him into a general. He accompanied Zhitong to grow up, which is what he thinks is the happiest thing.

He knew that Ji Tong had been engaged since he was a child, and he liked the boy very much. He was envious, but he only had blessings. He doesn't ask for the love of Zhitong, he just wants to protect this righteous sister silently.

But everything was ruined by a battle.

Zhi Tong asked in a trembling voice, "Brother Kai, what was going on in that battle, and why did my father die in battle?"

Du Kai sighed and said, "At that time, my father-in-law took me and Xiaoyi to guard the north entrance. Although the other side has an army of 260,000 and we only have 100,000, relying on the terrain of the North Entrance, it is completely enough to defend the North Entrance.

At that time, Marshal Hongguo Wan Yanguang, that is, the one you see today, sent people to insult the royal family in order to lead our army into battle.

I don't know how it reached the ears of the emperor, and the emperor issued nine summons in a row, asking his father-in-law to go to war and take off the head of the opposing general and bring it back to Kyoto.

Originally, scolding on the battlefield was the norm, but who knew that the emperor would react so much that time.

However, the father-in-law knew that he could not fight hard, so he could only refuse to fight on the grounds that the general would not be subject to foreign military orders.

After the father-in-law refused, the emperor did not give another order, thinking that the matter would be over.

Wan Yanguang saw that the north entrance could not be entered, so he took a long detour to attack the ancient stele.

It didn't take long for the news to spread that Fang Zhao, the guard general of the ancient monument, was the commander of 80,000 soldiers, and it was difficult to resist, and he wanted his father-in-law to rescue him.

The father-in-law had no choice but to personally command an army of 50,000 to come to the rescue, but who knew that Wan Yanguang made an ambush near Yanggu and besieged the 50,000 army.

At this time, we learned that Fang Zhaowei did not fight with the Hong army at all, and after his father-in-law was besieged, he did not send a single soldier, but only strictly guarded the ancient stele.

We heard the news and decided to go to the rescue. So I went to the rescue with an army of 30,000, we broke through all the way to the ancient stele, and finally broke through to the ancient stele, who knew that Fang Zhaowei, just stood on the city wall and watched indifferently, he refused to open the door for fear of a spy entering the city. Speaking of this, Du Kai's face was full of tears, because his fists were clenched so tightly that even his fingers were blue. There was too much hatred buried in his heart.

Then he said: "Helpless, we can only break through in the opposite direction again, you can imagine the difficulty, almost impossible." Xiao Yi heard that we were trapped, and brought the rest of the 15,000 people to the rescue.

Although Xiao Yi came over, it was just a drop in the bucket, but it made the entire army fall into a war situation, and it was difficult to get rid of it. Simply he didn't go too deep, and there was still hope for a breakthrough, so I asked him to lead people to break through with the soldiers.

In the process of breaking out, I saw him from afar... He was hit in the head with a hammer from the Golden Vulture and fell off his horse. After that, he was picked up by the guards and broke out. ”

Hearing this, Tong couldn't bear it, hugged his head and cried.

After crying for a while, Zhe Tong raised his head and asked, "What about after that?"

"After that, my father-in-law told me that in order to reduce the number of soldiers, I should lead the remnants to surrender. He seemed to know the reason, and he looked up to the sky and said in a loud voice: "I have been faithful, but in exchange for this result." I hate, hate, hate. Then he said to me, "The kingdom can bear me, but I cannot bear the kingdom." Today, I dye the sky with my blood, and the history of the Qing Dynasty is based on this. After saying that, the father-in-law killed himself, and his blood splashed five feet, like a red practice, rendering the sky. ”
