Fragrance in the wind

Near Changyun Mountain, the [-] cavalry led by Zizhou were the vanguard and were besieged by the enemy forces of Yi State.

A bloody battle is inevitable.

Zizhou took off his helmet, revealing a gorgeous face. Under the long and narrow black eyebrows were bloodthirsty phoenix eyes. Every time he glanced at a place, the enemy shuddered. In this environment of fighting iron weapons, he combined strength and softness. just right.

Zizhou raised his voice in the western Rongdi language: "You have invaded our territory many times without reason and killed innocent people. This time, you will lead me to kill the lions and go to your lair to destroy your people." Leaping forward, he cleverly avoided the arrows shot at him several times and killed an enemy leader.

Seeing the bravery of the master general, the soldiers were instantly excited, raised their whips, and rushed up one after another desperately, one against a hundred.

On the other side, Shan Junyuan followed closely behind with [-] elite soldiers, coming fiercely, killing as fast as a cheetah, vowing to fight the enemy to the death.Not long after, seeing him retreating steadily, he was afraid and dared not attack again, each of you looked at me and I looked at you, and no one dared to step forward.

Drums sounded, banners fluttered, taking advantage of Yi country's enemy's fear, Zizhou once again launched a fierce attack.

Just when the situation was about to reverse, one of the leaders of Yi Kingdom, Zhamuduo, pointed at Zizhou with a horsewhip and shouted, "He is the sixth prince of Chunyu Kingdom. If anyone captures him, he will be rewarded with a reward of ten thousand taels."

As soon as the cry came out, dozens of soldiers from the Yi Kingdom surrounded Zizhou. With his face covered in blood, he stood on a horse with his sword attached, his gaze like a blade slashed at the enemy soldiers besieging him, as if he had tasted the blood on his head. The wolf, staring at the prey in front of it, crawled forward at any time, and the soldiers of the Yi country did not dare to approach it.

"Your Highness...Save Your Highness...Save Your Highness" Shan Junyuan yelled with a baffled cry, frantically killing the Yi country soldiers who blocked him, but the distance was too far, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get close.

The crowd was crowded, and the soldiers of Yi Kingdom immediately rushed forward when they saw the situation, scrambling to capture the enemy commander.

Suddenly a knife came from the top of Zizhou's head, he raised the knife to block the top of his head, the friction between the knife and the knife sparked, and the spear stabbed him directly on the shoulder while the defense on his left was empty, Zizhou was in pain Gritting his teeth tightly, he let out a scream, and chopped off the enemy army in front of him.

The enemy army killed a wave and then rushed up again like a tide. His physical strength was gradually emptied by the excessive killing, his ears rumbled, and he fell off the horse precariously.Death is eroding his will to live little by little; and fatigue is making his legs unable to stand up again.

Doubts arose in a trance, who in this world would be sad because of this if he continued to sleep?Who will cry for this?I'm afraid he couldn't see it anymore, his heart suddenly clenched into a ball, his brow twitched, and a tear of blood trickled down from the corner of his eye.

Seeing that he was no longer struggling, the enemy soldiers approached him step by step. At this moment, dozens of enemy soldiers suddenly fell in response, and their scattered eyes slowly gathered together. A young man in black robe appeared in his sight, standing in Standing gracefully among them, as soon as he made a move, he approached his enemy army and fell down one by one, his facial features twitching and dying in embarrassment.

At this time, Shan Junyuan stumbled to the Sixth Highness, grabbed His Highness with his thick arms and ran, following the black-robed boy to kill a bloody path.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, the enemy army was afraid that if this situation continued, they would lose even more money and suffer even more losses. They ordered the entire army to stop fighting and retreat.

After this battle, more than [-] Chunyu troops were killed and wounded, repelling the main force of Yi Kingdom.

There were less than a thousand soldiers left, and they came to a hidden cave to rest for a while under the leadership of the black-robed boy.

"Shan Junyuan, why don't you let me go!" Zizhou yelled all the way, his mouth was dry, and Shan Junyuan seemed to be unable to hear him as he ran all the way with him, causing him to almost spit out all the things in his stomach .

Only then did Shan Junyuan recover from the fight, and hurriedly placed His Highness at the entrance of the cave, leaning his back against the stone wall, only to find that His Highness Six's hair was disheveled, his clothes were torn and bloody, Feeling heat in his eyes, he knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Highness, it's all the fault of the last general. The last general didn't protect His Highness well, so he deserves to die..."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and treat my wound." Zizhou frowned, and then glanced at the young man sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. The hood on his black robe covered half of his face, and asked: " This young hero looks very familiar, can you tell me his name, so that I can repay the young hero's life-saving grace in the future."

The boy took off his hood and opened his eyes to meet his four eyes, Zi Zhou was startled, "It's really you!"

This man has deep-set eyebrows and a square face. He is the young man who was hunted down in the inn on the night when Mount Putuo returned to the capital. However, during the daytime, his facial features seem to be quite handsome, and there is an evil arrogance and aloofness on his body. It makes people afraid to get close.

"Jian Zicong, just call me A Cong." The boy didn't care about being recognized by Zizhou.

"Hiss...en..." The cloth was torn apart, but seeing the bloody wound spread out, Zizhou gritted his teeth and endured it, and Shan Junyuan's subordinates slowed down a little, seeing that the injured person's face turned paler and sweated profusely .

"Take it."

Shan Junyuan reached out to take the white porcelain bottle thrown at him by Jian Zicong, and quickly cupped his hands in thanks.

Jian Zicong turned his head to look outside the cave and ignored him.

In order to reduce His Highness's pain, Shan Junyuan speeded up the dressing, and after a while the bandaging was finally finished. Shan Junyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then distributed the remaining powder to other injured soldiers according to His Highness's instructions.

After Shan Junyuan left, Zizhou leaned on the stone and contemplated. He had done his best in this battle to minimize the casualties, saved the main force of the army, and even saved his own life. As long as he was still alive There will be a day of complete victory.

Analyzing the current situation, the enemy army was enraged by them and came out quickly without bringing all the supplies, food and grass. If General Wu arrived at this time, he would definitely be able to destroy the enemy's camp.After this battle, the enemy suffered heavy casualties. Where will they retreat next?

While thinking about it, Jian Zicong's voice was as hard as a stone and suddenly said: "Do you know what the problem is in this battle?"

Following the other party's questioning, a puzzled look appeared on Zizhou's eyebrows, and he saw the other party pick up a branch on the ground and write a word "between" on the ground.

"Young man refers to a spy?" Looking at the word "between", Zi Zhou seemed to understand but was also confused.

"With proper time, you can get the enemy's information from it, and judge the response method according to the enemy's situation. You ignored this point, and did not grasp the opponent's moves in time, so the enemy army saw through it and crossed the river in advance."

Zizhou pondered for a moment, then sat up straight and endured the pain in his shoulders, cupping his hands and said: "If you can point out the shortcomings, I hope the young man can explain them in detail."

"Say it again." Jian Zicong's expression was slightly impatient, "I'm not some young hero, just call me A Cong, and you don't have to thank me, you deserve it."

The other party's arrogance, Zi Zhou just slightly raised his eyebrows to express helplessness.

Jian Zicong took out a bamboo tube from his bosom, threw it towards Zizhou, and said: "After Yi Kingdom captured Luxi, they burned, killed and looted the city. The enemy can get twice the result with half the effort."

Zizhou took a closer look, and found that the contents of the silk script were about the leader guarding Luxi and his cronies, the soldiers in charge of conveying the notification, the officials in charge of guarding the gate, the distribution of troops, and the nearby marching map.

When he was pleasantly surprised and then raised his head to thank the young man, the black-robed young man was no longer there. He held the confidential documents in his hand, looked at them carefully for a long time, and fell into deep thought.

Not long after, Shan Junyuan returned with both hands holding the lotus leaves filled with mountain springs, "Where is that young hero?"

"gone!"

Shan Junyuan was puzzled for a while, but then he thought about the fact that knights in the rivers and lakes always come and go without a trace, so he stopped thinking about it.

Zizhou took a sip of spring water, and he used some of the remaining water to wipe his cheeks. When the cold mountain water hit his face, his spirits were instantly refreshed, and when he rubbed it to the corner of his eyes, he felt a tingling pain. The knife mark, about half the length of the thumb, seems to be relatively deep. He regretted: "Your Highness looks so good-looking, I am afraid that if it is not handled properly in this environment, it will leave a scar."

The thick voice was accompanied by a tone of regret, which made Shan Junyuan seem a bit naive, Zizhou shook his head and smiled, and said indifferently: "A dignified man is not a girl, why should he care so much about these things!"

Seeing His Highness showing a bright smile to him, Shan Junyuan's eyes lit up, and he blurted out excitedly: "Your Highness smiles so beautifully, no wonder they all say His Highness is..." He stopped talking abruptly.

"What is it?" Zizhou looked at Shan Junyuan, pretending to be curious.

"Hmm... ah, ha ha." He hesitated and didn't say a word, and forced a naive smile at His Highness, secretly cursing himself that his mouth was always fucking ignorant.

"How many of us are left?" Zizhou suddenly asked in a serious tone.

"Go back to Your Highness, the last general counted, and there are 550 seven people left." Seeing His Highness nodded thoughtfully, he continued: "Does Your Highness have any plans?"

Zizhou handed the silk book in his hand to Shan Junyuan, and said: "From the book, most of the enemy's troops are stationed here, and Luxi's defense is the weakest."

When Shan Junyuan saw this book, he was overjoyed at first, but then he realized that something was wrong, "Is this... that boy gave it?"

Zizhou nodded, and Shan Junyuan continued to ask: "How come such an important confidential document is in his hands, and why is it handed over to us? Does Your Highness not doubt it at all?"

Shan Junyuan's suspicion was not unfounded, Zizhou frowned, thought for a moment, and then said: "If he wants to harm us, he can do it directly, why bother to make such a big detour."

Shan Junyuan thought about it, and it was indeed as His Highness said, scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks, and he didn't know what to do. Seeing his appearance, Zizhou couldn't help smiling when he thought about the picture of him in the martial arts field.

After a while, Shan Junyuan clarified in his eyes, and said firmly: "What does Your Highness want to do? The last general will do what he wants! Everything is up to His Highness."

After receiving the other party's sincerity, Zizhou calmly pointed to the map on the ground, "The map shows that we are at this location. If we walk along this road and cross the mountain pass, we can reach Luxi in less than one night. , and it will take three days for the remaining main force of the enemy to retreat to Luxi."

Shan Junyuan understood immediately, took a breath, and dared to say: "Your Highness wants to seize the city!"

"Luxi will be captured within three days." Zizhou looked directly into Shan Junyuan's eyes, his eyes were as frosty as frost, "If you are afraid of death, you can turn back now."

This remark is an insult to the soldiers. Shan Junyuan plopped on his knees and said emotionally: "A man has only one purpose in life, and that is to do something earth-shattering. Be sure that you are not following the wrong master."

"Okay! Our speed must be ahead of the enemy."

After finishing speaking, a whistle sounded, Zizhou summoned Baihong, stuffed the cloth strip in his hand into the thin tube, and then helped him on his leg again.

I saw that the white bird had a ferocious posture like an eagle, and the beak with its pointed front flapped its wings a few times, dropping a lot of powder, and flew out of the cave at a very fast speed.Shan Junyuan asked in amazement: "Why is it different from the pigeons you usually see?"

"This thing comes from Putuo, it can fly thousands of miles, and it is very spiritual." After a short pause, Zizhou put the silk book into his arms, and then said: "Come with me to see those injured brothers, and then take inventory of the weapons in our hands."

Shan Junyuan bowed his hands and led His Royal Highness to the inner room. Together they consoled the wounded soldiers, fed them water, bandaged their wounds, and gave all the remaining dry food to the wounded soldiers.

Along the way, all the soldiers saw it. The general took the lead at a young age, and he considered everything for them. He ignored his own life to minimize the casualties, and even came to take care of them when he was injured. Could it be that he was grateful to the general? His kindness, no one backs down.

Even though estrangement and suspicion inevitably arise between people, at this moment all will and goals are tied together. They believe in the general in front of them and entrust their most precious things to him.This love and righteousness are like a flame burning in Zizhou's chest.Wang Yuxing division, repair my armor soldiers.Walk with the child.Working together, side by side, for a common victory, everything seems vulnerable to this kind of determination.
