mountain and river oath

Chapter 37 Retreat

Sure enough, Ye Qi did not leave Zhao Jing a chance to breathe. For three days, Ye Qi led troops to attack Zhao Jing's camp every day. , retreated on a mountain, under the cover of dense forest, breathing and recuperating.

When Zhao Jing came back from his camp tour, he sat in the tent silently, his face was gloomy, his eye sockets were bloodshot, the lack of sleep and hard work made his young cheeks dim and haggard, making his whole body decadent and exhausted.

Shu Zilan rubbed her brows, walked in from outside the tent, saw Zhao Jing sitting on the couch, eyes squinted, and when he heard a noise, he immediately opened his eyes and saw that it was Shu Zilan coming in, his tense expression immediately relaxed, and he was silent. Looking at Shu Zilan.

Shu Zilan sat beside Zhao Jing silently. He was also tired. For the past few days, they had been dealing with Yeqi's crazy attack, and there was almost no time to rest. Hiding on this hidden hill, they could take a breath and relax. Soothe tense nerves.

"Why don't you stop?" Shu Zilan asked.

"Can't sleep," Zhao Jing said irritably.

Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing's big eyes, the clear eyes were flushed, and said, "Go to sleep again."

Zhao Jing shook his head, took Shu Zilan's hand and said, "You've been exhausted for the past few days, come up to bed."

Shu Zilan took off her shoes and leaned aside.

"Why don't you sleep?" Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan with his eyes open and said.

"Can't sleep," Shu Zilan said.

Zhao Jing sighed slightly, frowning.

Shu Zilan's heart clenched tightly following Zhao Jing's sigh. They suffered heavy losses in the past four days, and there were too many casualties. There were only 1 people around them.

"In three days, we lost 2 people," Zhao Jing said in a low voice.

"One general succeeds and ten thousand bones die," Shu Zilan said while looking at Zhao Jing.

"I only hope that the world will be peaceful and there will be no more wars," Zhao Jing said.

"Living in such a world, peace can only be achieved by ending war with war," Shu Zilan said.

Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan. In the dark night, his expression was calm and compassionate, as if he had seen through the world of mortals, and he was not shocked by honor or disgrace. Zhao Jing laughed at himself, "When will we have no war, no hierarchy, no bullying, no all kinds of things?" It’s not fair, everyone lives in harmony, does not close the door at night, does not pick up lost things on the road, and the people live in prosperity and well-being?”

"We can't see it anymore, I hope talented people can create that kind of world," Shu Zilan said.

"Fortunately, you didn't laugh at me." Zhao Jing said, "Such words, in this era, will make people laugh and ridicule me for being whimsical?"

"No, your ideal is the world everyone yearns for, but it's too difficult to realize." Shu Zilan said, "Maybe someone can realize it, who knows?",

"Yes, who knows?" Zhao Jing said.

"Those worlds are too far away, and we can't even overcome the difficulties in front of us. How can our 1 people resist Yezi's 5 people?" Shu Zilan said.

Zhao Jing didn't say anything, he had no choice, the strength of the two sides was very different, and Yeqi was an extremely cautious and cunning enemy.

"There is no news from Chen Youliang yet," Shu Zilan said.

"Has the messenger come back?" Zhao Jing asked.

Shu Zilan shook her head.

Zhao Jing sighed, he didn't come back for three days, it was probably more ominous than good.

"It is certain that Chen Youliang must belong to King Yu," Shu Zilan said.

"Do we have to disregard the interests of the country in order to frame each other?" Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan and said sullenly.

"In their eyes, personal interests are higher than national interests," Shu Zilan said.

"There is a country to have a family. Without the stability and peace of the country, how can they have a rich and luxurious life?" Zhao Jing said.

"They can't see" Shu Zilan said, he knows those people, they are selfish, they only see their own gains and losses, the gains and losses of the people and the country, they are far away from them. "However, the envoy from the capital will arrive tomorrow, as long as he comes, we will have a solution," Shu Zilan said.

Zhao Jing's dim eyes immediately flashed with clever brilliance, "Good news"

Shu Zilan watched Zhao Jing's anxious spirit gradually relax, and felt relieved.

"Sleep here for a while, there will be a tough battle tomorrow," Zhao Jing said while looking at Shu Zilan.

Shu Zilan lay down slowly, Zhao Jing took a blanket and covered Shu Zilan's body, and he got up quietly.

"Where are you going?" Shu Zilan suddenly opened her eyes and asked.

"I'm worried, go out and have a look," Zhao Jing said, and he tucked up the corner of the quilt.

"I'll go out and have a look too." Shu Zilan was about to get up, but Zhao Jing hurriedly suppressed it, and said, "You have hardly closed your eyes these few days, take a rest."

"It's okay, I'm not tired," Shu Zilan said.

"Sleep, I'll be back later" Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan and said.

Did Shu Zilan stop talking, Zhao Jing forced Shu Zilan to sleep, turned around and walked out, her tall body disappeared into the night.

The sky was gray and bright, and a guest was ushered in from the hill. Shu Zilan was overjoyed to see the visitor. The man was dressed in a plain robe, and his appearance was not surprising. He cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate has seen the Patriarch."

Shu Zilan said, "I've worked hard all the way, did you bring anything?"

"Bring it," said the man.

The few people who accompanied the man up the mountain opened the packages carried on their backs, and one package after another appeared out of nowhere. Shu Zilan was overjoyed, and Zhao Jing looked at it with an uncontrollable smile of joy.

"How many?" Shu Zilan asked.

"500 catties," said the man.

"Enough" Shu Zilan said.

"Zhang Jun," Zhao Jing said.

"The subordinates are here," Zhang Jun said.

"You take these brothers down the mountain at once, sneak close to Yangguan City, dig a hole under the city wall, and bury the sex in it," Zhao Jing said.

"Yes" Zhang Jun said.

"I don't know when we can bury it?" Zhao Jing asked.

"It should be possible at dawn," the man said.

"Okay, then I will be at the top of the city, and I will light the fuze as a sign," Zhao Jing said.

"Yes" Zhang Jun agreed, and then he led the man out.

Zhao Jing looked at the generals and said, "Let the order go on, everyone will not take off their clothes, cook food at the third watch, and set off at the fourth watch. At dawn, we will line up in the city. Once the bomb is detonated, we will immediately start attacking the city."

After the generals take orders, make preparations immediately.

Shu Zilan was sitting next to Zhao Jing, Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan without a smile on her face, and looked sad in peace.

"What's the matter, can we finally break through the Yang Pass?" Zhao Jing asked suspiciously.

"The killing power is too great. After all, it hurts Tianhe. I don't know how many people will die in this war tomorrow. The crime is too heavy," Shu Zilan said sympathetically.

Idiot, idiot, Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan, he was so kind, his heart was so soft, killing on the battlefield was not easy for him to hurt again and again, but he stayed by his side resolutely, Zhao Jing, How lucky you are to have him as your companion during this killing.

The sky and the earth are dark, one after another torches are lit in the mountains, and the rustling stream of people is walking silently on the road between the mountains, like an undercurrent surging river, flowing thinly and spreading forward.Zhao Jing led the horse and walked in front, Shu Zilan walked behind, and Wang Lu held a torch to light the way forward.

"Be careful," Zhao Jing said.

Shu Zilan walked carefully, he stumbled and gradually fell behind.

Zhao Jing stretched out his hand and grabbed Shu Zilan's hand, Shu Zilan struggled slightly, Zhao Jing held on tightly and said, "You are not used to walking at night, I will take you with me, don't get lost"

Shu Zilan was not struggling anymore, Zhao Jing held Shu Zilan's hand, Shu Zilan followed Zhao Jing's pace, the mountain road was rugged at night, the mountains were silent, only the torches were burning, Zhao Jing took Shu Zilan, only Feeling peaceful in his heart, he only hoped that this mountain road would never end, so he took Shu Zilan all the way to the end of the world.

The sky gradually brightened, and I could vaguely see what was ahead, Shu Zilan pulled out her hand, Zhao Jing let go, feeling a little disappointed, he walked in front, Shu Zilan followed not far away without a sound.

When the sky was bright, Zhao Jing came to Yangguan City with soldiers and horses. He saw that the top of Yangguan City was heavily guarded, flags fluttering, and soldiers were waiting in full battle. They rushed towards them with a chilling air. A woman in military uniform stood at the top of the city. , looked at Zhao Jing under the city, and said loudly, "You really have the courage to come here to die in order to win the city."

"Who knows whether he will die or not," Zhao Jing said from the bottom of the city.

"Hehe,,,,,,,,, I always thought that the men in Wei Dynasty were all greasy-headed and powder-faced. They only knew how to write poems and write poems. They stayed in the gentle village and ate the girl's rouge. I didn't expect there to be a warrior like you. How about Surrender to me, Rouran, I will definitely profusely profusely proclaim you the king, my girls in Rouran are all good at singing and dancing, beautiful and enthusiastic, with their company day and night, how happy and lively, save you from losing your life here, You're still young, so it's a pity to go like this," Tuya said.

"Miss is so determined that you will definitely fail in the next game. On the battlefield, the outcome is hard to decide. You must not be so confident," Zhao Jing said.

"Since you don't believe it, I'll let you try," Tuya said.

Immediately raising their hands, countless archers drew their longbows, and pointed their sharp arrows at the soldiers and horses under the city.

Zhao Jing pulled the fuse, the signal bloomed in the sky, Tuya saw it clearly from the top of the city, she suddenly felt uneasy, she felt that Zhao Jing was not evasive in the past today, and looked confident, there must be something in it, she couldn't figure it out what is itFeeling dangerous intuitively, she immediately yelled "shoot the arrow"

No words came out, only a "bang", the city wall shook violently, the wall cracked, bricks and stones fell like a torrential rain, and the soldiers on the city wall had no time to react, screaming and falling from the high city wall , Tuya felt that his body fell down involuntarily, and huge stones were smashed towards him with dust, and he vaguely heard a heart-piercing cry "Aya!"

Tuya didn't have the strength to respond, and followed the sound with his eyes, only to see a figure on the broken wall, hissing.

"Third brother" Tuya couldn't call out anymore, she shouted in her heart, "Third brother, third brother, my third brother"

Zhao Jing watched as the top of the city fell, and the soldiers on the city wall fell under the sound of huge explosions. They were hit by huge stones and fell to the ground, buried in dust.

"Kill!" Zhao Jing yelled, leading the Wei soldiers to rush to the top of the city.

Rouran was terrified by the sudden explosion, and looked terrified. Seeing the Wei soldiers, they were overwhelmed and broke up one after another. Zhao Jing led the troops, raised their knives, and countless Rouran soldiers fell on the road.

"I'll kill you!" Zhao Jing saw Yeqi running out of the damaged city wall alone on horseback. His expression was angry and sad, like a wounded beast, losing all reason, riding a fast horse, hissing and shouting. .

Zhao Jing rode up to meet him, the two were entangled, Ye Qi's eyes were red, his expression was ferocious, he raised his knife and slashed wildly, Zhao Jing dodged Ye Qi's chaotic knife, pulled out the sword at his waist, and separated Ye Qi He raised his sword and stabbed at Yeqi's head. Yeqi's body nimbly got into the belly of the horse, then turned over and rode on the horse, and stabbed Zhao Jing with the knife. Down.

Yeqi suddenly laughed wildly, "Hahaha, Zhao Jing, I want you to taste the pain of losing a loved one." He raised his knife and slashed at Zhao Jing. His skin was bruised and blood was flowing, Zhao Jing hurriedly looked back for Shu Zilan, only to see that Shu Zilan was surrounded by Yeqi's personal attendants, unable to escape, Zhao Jing rode to rescue the siege, but saw Yeqi's guards using ropes, Shu Zilan was tightly trapped and besieged.
