Chapter 288 The general has white hair and his wife is in tears
Just as Sanniang led the crowd to leave, Yue Hongling came on horseback. I don’t know if Sanniang sensed the sound of horse hooves in the distance in advance and walked so perfectly.
Looking at the figures in the distance, Yue Hongling asked Zhao Changhe in surprise: "Who are those people? Did you kill Ubalu's helper?"
"Yes." Zhao Changhe secretly thought that Sanniang probably didn't want Yue Hongling to know her strength, so she decided to leave. Especially if Xuanwu's identity really became known to the world, Sanniang would go on a rampage.
So he did not try to expose her background, but simply said: "A group of like-minded people, including Han Wubing."
Yue Hongling had a different thought: "No wonder it's so easy. Is there a large group of people from the knight camp?"
"Hmm," Zhao Changhe asked, "How are you doing there? Are you hurt?"
"We didn't really fight." Yue Hongling looked a little serious: "Chili has broken through the secret. His true strength at this moment is definitely more than sixty-six on the list. Don't underestimate the enemy next time you see him. It's best to leave as soon as you see him. The further away, the better. "
Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "Isn't it because you are by my side?"
Yue Hongling turned her head and looked at him for a while, then suddenly said: "Hey, do you really want to be with me forever?"
Zhao Changhe was stunned for a moment: "How do you say this? Do you still want to separate from me?"
"I can't bear to part with you." Yue Hongling sighed: "But from a martial arts perspective, it is actually better for you and me to separate."
Zhao Changhe pursed his lips, and he knew this in his heart.
Especially because Hong Ling is stronger than me... If she is always by her side, once dependence develops, it will be really difficult to make any further progress.
Yue Hongling said: "After this battle, where do you plan to go?"
Zhao Changhe thought for a while and asked, "What about you?"
"I may go to the southwest, visit Bashan Jianlu for a while, and see what happened in the Miao border. We need to go through everything from north to south."
It seems that Yue Hongling really has a very clear plan for her own path. Such a wandering heroine rarely stops her heart in one place.
Strictly speaking, although I got her, it may not be considered as "returning to my heart" because her heart is in the world.
She doesn’t know when she will feel tired and want a home.
But it's obviously not the time yet, after all, her man is not a peaceful man either.
Where can we stay if we don’t have a home?
In fact, Zhao Changhe thinks that he can also go to the southwest. For example, he has always wanted to go to Wushan to find Master Xue. If he gets to Wushan, it is not too far to go to Bashan. Generally speaking, he is on the same road, and then let Yue Hongling beat Master Xue again, which is very funny just thinking about it.
But then I thought about it, beating Master Xue is not the first priority. I do have more important plans. For example, the next step is to find the blood ginseng that Jin Fei mentioned and lay the foundation of the "Blood Shura Body". Then I should go Where should I follow the clues of the blood ginseng? If I don't decide where to go first, it will be a waste of time.
I actually forgot to ask Sanniang about this before. She is well-informed and might actually have clues.
In addition, you should try to contact Ji Chengkong to see if there is anything that can be traded with the Thief Saint. It is very important to learn ingestion martial arts and be able to use storage rings!
Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "Okay, I have to find something myself. Maybe, you and I are destined to be like this, and I will find it and touch it next to you."
Yue Hongling found it interesting to hear this: "The world is so big. If you didn't go to the southwest on purpose and you could follow my path just by looking for things by yourself, then I..."
Zhao Changhe blinked: "What?"
Yue Hongling's cheeks were slightly red, she bit her lower lip and tilted her head: "Then I'll play with you in the position you've always wanted."
Zhao Changhe laughed: "I am confident, just wait, my heroine."
Yue Hongling said angrily: “This is all that’s filling my mind right now.”
I don’t know who mentioned it first... Zhao Changhe did not expose her and said with a smile: "Let's go. At least for now, you and I are still riding side by side to give Timur a little shock in the Central Plains."
Speaking, he pinched the horse's belly and ran forward like a black rabbit in the snow: "Let's see if your red rabbit is more powerful, or is my black rabbit stronger?"
Looking at his free and easy appearance, the entanglement in Yue Hongling's heart disappeared and she became free and easy. She waved her riding whip and said, "Drive!"
…
It’s sunset again, the sun is setting in the west, the Qiang Guan is lingering, and the ground is covered with clear frost.
But the people here have not been home for who knows how long, and may never even be able to go home.
Huangfu Yongxian stood at the top of the city, looking at the corpses stacked up and down, and he could no longer tell which ones belonged to the enemy and which ones were his own.
A section of the city wall has been partially collapsed, and the soldiers are trying their best to repair it, but Huangfu Yongxian's experience clearly tells him that it cannot be repaired tonight, and the barbarians will attack this gap early tomorrow morning. Whether it can be defended is a matter of time.
The soldiers on the left and right were exhausted, and their faces were stained with blood that had not been cleaned for who knows how long.
Let alone cleaning, everyone doesn’t even have much time to sleep.
Affected by the death of Here, the War Lion tribe was in chaos and did not participate in the attack. Without this huge clan, Timur's offensive also slowed down slightly. The main pulling point between the two sides was still food.
Winter is coming soon, and there is not enough food in the grassland. This is also the biggest factor that prompted them to tackle this problem.
But Huangfu Yongxian found helplessly that despite all the efforts, the other party's food supply was no less than his own.
The grain and crickets here are two less. After the layer, there are not enough tens of thousands of tens of thousands of arms and horses.
On the contrary, a large amount of food came out of nowhere and was spread to the major tribes in the rear of the grassland.
Huangfu Yongxian sent people to pretend to be horse bandits and intercepted them from outside the pass to the inside. He directly used this extra money to fill the shortage of his own army and horses, which was barely coping. But it makes no sense in the overall situation. If the Hu people have enough military rations, they will not be able to defeat them, and their own side is about to collapse.
Because the number of people is not a magnitude.
The barbarians can take turns to attack, but they can't even take turns to rest, and everyone is exhausted.
In the past, the Jianghu people in the Xiake camp rarely participated in the war directly, and they always went to the rear to cause trouble. Since Zhao Changhe rescued six people last time, there are very few people running away now, and they all come to the army to help honestly. A strong player like Cui Yuanyong and Situ Xiao could even match one to a hundred. As an arrow for the team, he was simply unstoppable. It boosted morale a lot, but it was still of no use.
In an offensive and defensive battle involving hundreds of thousands of soldiers, their role was too small.
At the moment we can still manage to hold on, but it is said that the War Lion Tribe has returned to spirit. Once they pounce again, it will really be a big deal.
My daughter often said, "What's wrong? What's there to do with such a foolish king and such a court?" How many people have died in our family, does it make sense?
Huangfu Yongxian turned his head and looked around. Seeing the old general looking over, the surrounding soldiers raised their heads and chests vigorously, letting the general see that they had not lost their fighting spirit.
Huangfu Yong smiled first.
Whether they surrender or rebel, the soul of this army is gone, and so is the soul of Huangfu Yongxian.
It would be better to die.
"General." Finally, a deputy general said: "It's late at night, and you are getting old, so why not go back and rest. We can just keep an eye on the repairs here."
The old general smiled casually: "I am the strongest among you, so there is no reason for me to go to bed first."
“General…”
“Don’t worry, as long as I don’t die, Yanmen will be there.”
The old general held his helmet in his arms, and the north wind blew by, picking up the general's white hair, which looked like frost on this winter night.
The soldiers were willing to believe the old general’s encouraging words.
But he is not yet sixty, and his hair is already full of white. If he continues to work so hard, will there be any generals in Yanmen?
Unconsciously, the stars and the moon gradually faded away.
The crow of roosters can be heard in Guannei County. The east gradually turns fish-belly white, and a few wisps of morning glow illuminate the horizon, which is beautiful.
“Woo~woo~”
The horn sounded, the ground trembled slightly, and the overwhelming torrent approached from far away, approaching Guancheng.
The torrent stretches as far as the eye can see. Just looking at it from a distance gives people a suffocating pressure.
Huangfu Yong first took a look at the collapse of the city wall and found that repairing it was basically meaningless.
