Chapter Fifty-Six: The Merger (Part II)
At the end of the arrow, the towering pitch-black bird feathers trembled, and the explosive vitality rushed into his body along the wound.
The blood vessels and bones were torn apart by the vitality.
The internal organs and five internal organs were crushed into pieces by the vitality.
His body could no longer raise the strength to raise his sword, but Li Yue, who hung down his arm, still clutched the hilt of the sword stained with oil and sweat.
However, the sword was too heavy for him at this time.
The sword was stabbed on the ground, and Liyue was dragged to his knees in the ruins.
With the erection of the sword, he supported the injured body that was about to fall, and maintained his head without drooping with a rapidly blurred but still firm consciousness.
Li Yue's eyes were about to dissipate, and he always looked at the direction where the golden arrow was coming.
On the bank of the moat, the bow in the hand of the general was pressed against the back of the black horse, and with golden eyes, he stared at the two figures in the ruins of the wooden village.
Sighing softly, Yougen turned the horse's body, driving the black dragon to step out of the black hooves and move away from the riverside step by step.
I'm not reconciled.
Everything in front of me became more and more blurry, and finally it turned into pitch black.
Behind Wen Short who was standing in the ruins, the pestle sword knelt on the ground, and his proud head finally hung down.
Wen Short died first, and died after leaving Vietnam.
Neither gave the order to fight to the death.
The elite soldiers trapped in the wooden village lost their backbone and their morale plummeted.
Liu Heng did not rush to attack, but sent people to surround the water gate and suspension bridge of Muzhai.
That night, the snow faded.
Countless slaves took advantage of the night to take the lead in rowing out of the village and surrendering.
On the second day, the sky was clear.
Gong Ji took the townspeople to transport the first batch of baggage to Liu Heng's army, and at noon that day, Liu Heng's soldiers built hundreds of stone stoves.
On the afternoon of this day, among the guards in the village, the only partial general led 2,829 soldiers out of the wooden village to surrender to Liu Hengjun.
After that, Liu Heng listened to Yougen's advice, led people to bring grain into the wooden village, received all the remaining slaves in the village, and confiscated all the strategic materials in the village.
The whole army marched again, wanting to return to Yinshui Town.
And when Liu Hengjun had not yet returned to Yinshui Town, the soldiers sent by Wen Short to ask for help finally sent the silk letterhead to Zhou He's table.
Tear open the lacquer seal, untie the sheepskin, and take out the silk letter in the sheepskin, Zhou He looked at it for a while, and then handed it to Zhou Miao, who was the next one.
Picking up the silk paper and putting it in front of his face, Zhou Mei frowned and looked at it intently for a moment.
"General?"
Putting the silk letter on the table, Zhou Mian asked softly with a shocked face.
"How?"
His face sank like water, and Zhou He's voice was slightly lower.
"The text is short, how can he be short?"
Shaking his head, Zhou He's face was helpless.
"We underestimate our opponents, who is Wen Short?"
"Elite soldiers, wise and brave generals, defeated in a battle?"
chuckled, and Zhou He's face was full of fatigue.
"Who is our opponent?"
"Who?"
Who?
muttered repeatedly, Zhou Miao's face was embarrassed, but a trace of fierceness suddenly flowed out of his calm eyes.
"General, if the enemy defeats Wen Short, I am afraid that it will be difficult for our army to resist the enemy alone, and we must not shrink here. ”
Getting up, Zhou Li walked in front of Zhou He and knelt on one knee.
With both hands clenched into fists, Zhou Miao's volume rose.
"Please send troops, general!"
Sending troops?
"Huh. ”
Zhou He finally chuckled, raised his head, and stared at the camp gate.
Outside the camp gate, step into the wooden ladder of the barracks.
Dressed in dust and haggard, but with an anxious face, Wen Xiao's soldiers also knelt on one knee like Zhou Liang in the camp.
The breeze blew the curtain in front of the tent and blew the thin corner.
The anxious soldiers, with longing on their faces, looked at the burly back kneeling on the ground in the barracks, and the old body sitting cross-legged in front of the back.
The breeze stopped, and the curtain in front of the barracks returned to its place, once again obscuring the view of the soldiers.
"Wen is not weak in wisdom, and the soldiers are strong. ”
"Even if you don't have food, you shouldn't have failed so badly, do you know why?"
Hearing this, Zhou Ming's brows furrowed between his eyes, and he was silent for a long time before he hesitated and said, "Could it be that you have fallen into the enemy's plan?"
"Stupid!"
Zhou He's face was even lower, and his smile was even more hideous.
"It's just that his skills are not as good as others!"
Fighting on the battlefield, the main general is defeated, and in the face of strong cultivators, no matter how elite the soldiers are, they should not be able to form an army.
Zhou Mei realized, and cold sweat suddenly trickled down his face.
"As far as we know, there are two enemy cultivators. ”
"Wen Short has been defeated, if I still send troops, I will only end up with them. ”
Zhou He, whose face became more and more gloomy and his smile became more and more terrifying, deliberately lowered his voice.
"So, should I send troops?"
Sweat stained the shirt inside the armor, and Zhou Miao, who suddenly felt that he was cold, widened his eyes and was silent for a long time.
"General, what now?"
Hearing this, he retracted the smile on his face, Zhou He looked solemn and pondered for a moment.
"You take our military flag, immediately lead people to reorganize the army, and let our army prepare. ”
"General. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Miao's face suddenly showed doubts.
"This, this ......"
Raising his hand to stop Zhou Miao, who wanted to speak, Zhou He continued to speak: "Tonight, order someone to put down the drawbridge and the whole army will enter the village. ”
"Order, Zhang led 600 archers to guard the wall of the east gate. ”“
"Order, Li Xing led a thousand sword and shield guards to guard the water gate. ”
"Order, Ru Mink led four hundred bows into the south gate. ”
"You lead the cavalry to guard the drawbridge. ”
Standing up, Zhou He raised his hand and brushed away the white hair on his chest.
The golden armor was scattered with the dim glow of the candle flame.
"The old man led 5,000 soldiers and entered through the main gate. ”
Walking past Zhou Miao, who was still stunned and shocked, Zhou He put his hands behind his back and stood in front of the camp gate.
"Even if he is defeated, the old man will not be an enemy. ”
After stopping for a moment, Zhou He didn't look back, and walked to the camp gate step by step.
I lifted the curtain and walked out.
Turning his head, Zhou Mian looked at Zhou He's back in a daze, until the curtain covering the door returned to its original state.
Zhou Mei woke up and ran to the table and took out Zhou He's order flag from the Tong box.
Turning around and running out of the barracks, the dazzling sunlight reflected his eyes, and Zhou Mian suddenly lost his mind.
When he came back to his senses, he naturally saw Zhou He, who was walking away with his hands behind his back.
Behind Zhou He, followed by the soldiers who delivered the message.
There it is.
Biting his lip secretly, Zhou Mian walked down the stairs quickly, took the reins from the doorman's hand, and mounted his mount.
Turning the horse's body, Zhou Mian looked back at the direction of next week and departure again.
There is the direction of the river.
Turning around, he drove his horse to the camp, and Zhou Mi, who was frightened in his heart, did not dare to look back.
That night, Anyang County was stationed in Caoyun County and was destroyed by fire.
The slaves in the village were all killed, but the materials and armaments were transferred in advance.
After the destruction of the wooden village, Zhou He led the army to stay in the same place for two days, and only after the borrowed grain and grass arrived, did he lead the army to retreat.
At this time, Liu Heng led the army to return to Yinshui Town.
