Zhuo Yue and the others walked slowly, and encountered several waves of Zhagan cavalry who were probing along the way, but they were all shocked.After meeting other remnants of the retreating soldiers, they finally had horses to pull the luggage, and at the same time learned that the army was now gathering in Zhongxingwei.The brothers trekked for nearly ten days, and finally arrived at Zhongxing City, the capital of Yingzhou, at the end of December in the 23rd year of Hongwu.

When the end of Huangtu Slope saw the walls of Zhongxing City in the distance, Zhuo Yue couldn't help but stop and let out a long sigh, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

Didn't expect to come back here again.

It has been nearly a month since I woke up after my death, but this seemingly real dream is still going on.Several times Zhuo Yue did not dare to fall asleep late at night, lest he would be in the underworld when he woke up from a deep sleep.But whenever I wake up suddenly in the morning, when I raise my eyes and see the boundless and magnificent scenery of flying sand and gravel on the border, a beating heart will suddenly fall back into my chest.

After repeating this for many days, Zhuo Yue finally had to confirm that he might have been detained by a ghost messenger, and thus he was able to live again.

Really bad luck.The reborn Zhuo Yue didn't have any joy, but was full of depression.

If it is a rich and well-clothed son or brother, he will be able to enjoy wealth again after being reborn.But what is too much for a life like his, with his head on his waist and fear of suffering and suffering every day?If you really want to go through all the injuries and battles you lost in the past, it would be as good as drinking Mengpo soup in the underworld, maybe you can change your life after reincarnation.

It is said that heaven has given great responsibility to the people of Sri Lanka.God gave him an extra life, there must be a reason, right?But in his previous life, he was a mess to the top, and he was just a little general. He had no power and no power. The most he did every day was to sit on the city wall and pick his feet, waiting for the day when he was disabled, so he could feel at ease Go home and ask for a wife and give birth to a fat boy.

For a person like him, living once is already a waste, and living twice, what is he trying to do?

"Old Zhuo!" Zhang Laohei called back, "Why are you standing there in a daze! Let's go!"

Surprised, Zhuo Yue replied depressedly, followed in the footsteps of his brothers, and ran towards Zhongxing City.

As the state capital of Yingzhou, there are more than [-] people stationed in Zhongxing City, collectively known as Zhongxingwei, which is a relatively strong army in Yingzhou.And the city defense of Zhongxing City is no longer the rammed low wall they encountered on this journey. Now the outer wall nearly ten meters high as far as the eye can see is built of bricks, and a moat is built outside the main city gate. There is an urn city behind the trench, on which there are archery towers, gate gates, and battlements; and the city wall has rectangular piers "horse faces" every [-] meters for the defenders to support each other and resist the enemy.On the whole, it is a pass that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

"The guardhouse in the state capital is rich." Zhang Laohei sighed as he walked across the suspension bridge of the moat, "The hundred households we stayed in is just a small muddy broken wall, and the barbarian's horse raised its hoof If you kick it, it will collapse, let alone defending the city."

Zhuo Yue pursed the corners of his lips, but said nothing.At that time, he might also feel like Zhang Laohei that the reason why the border defenders were defeated in one blow was because the city defense was not strong.

However, now that he has been reborn, he has already seen that the outdated ordnance is only a small part of the reason. The real reason why they lost to the enemy army in the grassland is due to the soldiers' exhaustion and lack of training.With this group of lazy soldiers and scattered generals, even if they use a pass like Zhongxing City as their base, they may not be able to withstand the invasion of foreign enemies.

After entering the city, the brothers were immediately involved in a chaotic flow of people.The remnants of the defeated soldiers on the front line are now gathered here, and they are messy and messy, turning a good state capital into a pot of porridge.

Looking up, there are soldiers and generals running around everywhere, some are still busy in armored military robes, and some are simply wrapped in jackets that they don't know where they snatched, sitting on the ground in twos and threes, and they start to gather together to chat.

The soldiers who had just entered the city were all crowded in the crowd and were at a loss, especially those who were separated from the main force, and they didn't even know where to report.As a result, the gate of the city was crowded into a mess, people yelled, horses neighed, carts rolled, and there was a lot of noise. In the distance, someone was yelling "Go forward, go forward", but this person was beaten by others long ago. It was so solid that no one could move half a step.

Zhuo Yue and the others blocked the gate of the city for half an hour, and only then did they find out from an old soldier lying on the side of the road that the new soldiers were about to go to the garrison office.

"That place is also a mess of paste." The veteran gritted his teeth and said vaguely, "Someone has been here for three days, but he didn't squeeze into the yamen, let alone put up a sign. If this continues, everyone will simply run away. It’s no wonder that you say no...You guys, why not find a place to rest and talk about it later.”

"What's the matter!" Zhang Laohei shouted at Zhuo Yue through the chaotic voices, "Go to the yamen to put up a card first, or should we rest first?"

The routed army ahead numbered at least 4 to 2, and after war damage, there were also [-] to [-].It is indeed difficult to settle down in such a short period of time when people flock to Zhongxing City.Zhuo Yue knew in his heart that in the next few days, they might not even be able to sleep on a bed with a roof.

"Go to the yamen first." Zhuo Yue still said.

It's not for listing, nor is it for rendezvous with the large forces.There was one person in his heart... he wanted to find it.

The brothers walked through the crowded street, all the way to the yamen of the Garrison Department.However, a few streets away from the yamen, it was too congested to walk, and the middle of the road was full of soldiers and generals who were going to fight, some of them even sat on the ground and prepared to cook with fireworks. It's been here for at least a day or two.

"Brother Zhuo, why don't we be in a hurry." Xiao Ga leaned close to Zhuo Yue and whispered, "It's freezing cold, if you don't have a bedding to sleep at night, make a fire quickly, or you will freeze."

Zhuo Yue sighed, and was about to let them resettle himself before looking around, but suddenly heard a person behind him shouting: "Brother——Brother Zhuo!"

Zhuo Yue turned his head sharply, only to see a young man jumping up high and showing his head in the crowd, waving desperately at them.The tight string in Zhuo Yue's heart suddenly loosened, and he let out a low laugh and cursed.

The young man was not agile and not tall, he struggled and begged for forgiveness when he was squeezed into a group of tall and burly generals, he finally rushed out.His head was sweating from anxiety, but his eyes were shining brightly, and his childish fair face was full of joy that was about to emerge.

"Brother Zhuo, Brother Hei, Brother Gazi!" He yelled and ran towards him, "I'm so anxious! I thought you—"

Zhuo Yue strode forward without saying a word, pulled him into his arms, and pressed him hard on his chest.

"Hmm!" The young man was staggered by Zhuo Yue, and the second half of the sentence was blocked back.He was a bit astonished, but immediately hugged Zhuo Yue's shoulders very movedly, and said sullenly, "Brother, I'm fine, don't worry. I just miss you so much, it's great to see you... ..."

"Okay, old Zhuo." Zhang Laohei stood aside with folded arms, mockingly said, "If you hug Xiaoguan for a while, he'll cry like a pussy again."

Zhuo Yue took a deep breath, let go of the young man in his arms, but still pressed his shoulders tightly with both hands, carefully scrutinizing his eyebrows and eyes.The young man was a little embarrassed by him, his ears turned red quietly, and he said coyly, "I'm really fine. Look, there's not even a scratch on the oily skin."

He was indeed safe and sound at this time, and his complexion was even rosier than that of Zhuo Yue and the others.But no one knew that the last time Zhuo Yue saw him, the fresh young man in front of him was already a cold corpse.

……

The flames of war are all over the sky, and the swords are like snow.This land intertwined with ice and fire has become like a purgatory, roaring, screaming, staggering people, and kneeling horses all turned into phantoms.

He waved the Xuanhua ax numbly, his mind was blank.

What exactly went wrong?

It was just an ordinary patrol, why were they forced into such a desperate situation?

"Brother!" Someone yelled sharply against the deafening flint sound.

He turned his head in a daze, his stiff eyes suddenly bumped into a blood-stained face.Under the helmet, the young face was covered with dust and scars, the pupils were bloodshot, and the tears oozing from the corners of the eyes were turning the dust into mud.

"Brother, I want to tell you..." The young man grabbed his arm fiercely and hissed, "I regret it, I, I should have told you—"

And his heart was beating like a drum, the blood all over his body was rushing into his head, and there was a roar of "dong dong dong" in his ears, and he couldn't hear anything clearly.He staggered and wanted to push the boy away, let him go away, this is a battlefield!It's important to save your life.But the young man seemed to be trapped in a nightmare, and he dragged him like crazy and refused to let go, his face was full of obsession and madness.

"Brother! This patrol, in fact—"

Actually what?He will never know.

With a loud sound of piercing clouds and cracking stones, the second half of the sentence was drowned out by the sound of flints, his eyes suddenly turned black and red, and everything returned to Jiyuan suddenly.

What's wrong?he thought blankly.What's wrong with me?Why can't I hear or see?Why is it so hot, how could his face be so hot!Was it fire, did it burn his face, or—or—!

He panted violently and blinked his eyes desperately, but his eyes were painful and his eyes were red. When he whispered the boy's name, he tasted a bitter and sticky taste in his mouth.

The taste of blood.

He roared hoarsely, and gradually began to howl, but he couldn't make a sound.Or maybe he is deaf in both ears and can no longer hear his own shouts.He desperately stretched out his hands to fumble, his eyes widened desperately, blood clots fell down his face, mixed with his tears, as if he was weeping blood.

The boy in front of him had his head smashed by a bullet.

The headless corpse still maintained its posture at the last moment of its life, standing stubbornly in front of him, with both hands tightly wrapped around his arms, as if trying to keep all dangers behind him.But today, the sky is as wide as a canopy, the ground is as wide as a furnace, and the battlefield is a boundless purgatory. This child is so thin that he can't even carry a sword. What can he do to protect him?

How silly.How silly.

His life was lost in vain.

……

"Zhuo, Brother Zhuo?" Guan Ximing was startled, "Why are you crying?"

Zhuo Yue woke up suddenly, the blood red in front of his eyes faded, but it was still blurry - he didn't know when his eyes were wet with tears.

Zhang Laohei screamed strangely, Xiao Ga stepped forward with his eyes wide open, and turned Zhuo Yue to himself to examine him carefully: "What's the matter, you don't feel well?"

"Rough, it's okay, it's okay." Zhuo Yue quickly wiped the corners of his eyes, feeling a little embarrassed under the stares of several people.He has always had a temperament that bleeds and does not shed tears, but suddenly he is so emotional, it is no wonder that everyone feels weird, "I just—"

"Fei Sha narrowed his eyes?"

Everyone froze, and slowly turned their heads to look at the speaker.But seeing Li Changxing leaning on the car, looking at them with his shoulders raised and his eyebrows raised, he seemed to think that the scene of "brothers reunited, holding hands and looking at tears" was quite interesting.

"Who is this?" Guan Ximing wondered.

Zhuo Yue cursed, stepped forward and kicked the kid who was watching the show, and said unceremoniously: "Now that you have arrived at the state capital of Yingzhou, you should get out."

Li Changxing wasn't angry either. He brushed his dirty trousers unhurriedly, and said with a smile, "I'll leave by myself when the time comes. I just came here and I'm not familiar with the place. I'll spend the night with you guys." Food, is it okay?"

It's really a dog skin plaster.Although Zhuo Yue was upset, he didn't bother to care about him so much, he turned around and discussed with a few others how to make a fire and cook, planning to spend the night on the street today.

The author has something to say: Xiaoguan is the kind of good brother who would blush when talking to girls!

really cute
