"Go forward for another half an hour, and you will reach the camp. Let's rest here for a while, and then go on the road."

After walking for a whole morning, the captain finally opened the mouth to let the exhausted soldiers rest on the spot, not to mention Zhu Yu, even the tall and strong man beside him was able to walk The feet were shaking, and the husband had tried his best to compress the distance these days, and the original three-day journey was reduced to two days, but it was exhausting.

But why is the husband in such a hurry?Could it be that the situation on the border has changed?Zhu Yu was thinking about it, and just about to go up to ask her husband, only to hear a huge explosion not far away, suddenly filled with smoke and dust, even if they were not in the center of the explosion, they were also affected, the strong smell made the soldiers Coughing violently, panic was written on everyone's face.

"Don't panic! Stay where you are! Don't run!" The captain yelled sharply, "You are soldiers of the Haihuai country! You have no fear of life and death! You are not allowed to run away!"

It's fire/powder!Zhu Yu's heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley. Obviously, the formula of fire/medicine is only owned by Yunning State. Yunning State Chongwen did not use fire/medicine for war, but only used it for fireworks. Many countries paid a lot of money to buy the formula. The Yunning Kingdom did not disclose the formula, and only workshops directly under the royal family of the Yunning Kingdom have the right to make gunpowder for fireworks and firecrackers. Even merchants that can sell fireworks and firecrackers are selected every year. It is one of them. Zhu's family tried every means to please them back then, but Mr. Zhu didn't give up the management rights, which also caused a catastrophe later, but now, why did gunpowder appear on the border of Haihuai country?

"Did the Yuning country also join the rebel army?" A soldier shouted, "This gun/powder is only available in their country!"

"It must be! The Yunning country has enmity with our Haihuai country, and now they must have given the fire/powder formula to the rebels to deal with us in order to protect themselves!" Another soldier also said loudly.

"This fire/powder is so powerful, how can we beat it? Isn't this going to die?"

"I still have a wife and children at home, I don't want to die...they are all the lords of our country, what kind of battle are they going to fight!"

Because of the appearance of fire/powder, the morale of the soldiers was clearly in turmoil, and the morale of the soldiers was greatly frustrated. They were all afraid of the legendary fire/powder that killed people without blood. With the knife in his hand, he sat down on the ground, covering his head in pain and despair.

"Aren't you going to go forward?" Seeing the chaos, Zhu Yu hurriedly grabbed a soldier and asked, "We're almost reaching our destination!"

"What are you going for! Didn't you see that? That's gunpowder. In the past, it was death!" the soldier said excitedly to Zhu Yu, "I still have family members, I don't want to die here!"

"But..." Zhu Yu glanced at the place where black smoke was still floating in the distance, "Are we going to do this and leave the brothers who are waiting for reinforcements there? They are waiting for us! "

"We are all in danger, how can we have time to take care of them?" The soldier shook Zhu Yu's hand impatiently, and said loudly, "This is a war that cannot be won, why do we have to fight?"

"No...it's not like this, you can't run..." Zhu Yu looked around blankly. The soldiers had already lost their formation and wanted to leave. The husband sat on the ground alone, looking at them with a dull expression. He ran over, helped his husband up, and said, "What do you want to say, your team is about to disperse!"

"What can I say?" The boss turned to Zhu Yu, with a hollow and numb expression on his face, "From the very beginning of the war, I knew that sooner or later there would be such a day."

What does it mean?Does it mean that it was wrong for the Haihuai country to launch a war of aggression from the very beginning?It seems that everyone from the army to the people is against this war, but He Lanjue, who is sitting in a high position, insists on launching a war. Thoughts?Doesn't he know how to judge the situation?Or, did the two brothers, He Lanjue and He Lanyi, never take the lives of the people at heart?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yu felt a surge of breath in his heart. He jumped onto a stone next to him and shouted loudly, "Everyone! I know how you feel! But if we leave and the border defense falls, who will protect us?" relatives? We are soldiers defending our home and our country, and even if we are gone, who will protect the family, and who will defend the country?"

Several soldiers stopped walking when they heard Zhu Yu's words. They grabbed their comrades and pointed at Zhu Yu, as if they were repeating Zhu Yu's words to them.

"I know you have mothers, wives, and children, but you also saw the refugees on the side of the road a few days ago. Do you want your relatives to become like that? No food, no clothes , Wandering around, without a home! Have you ever thought about it, only when we protect the border, can our relatives live a stable life!"

Zhu Yu spoke hoarsely. He used all the Haihuai dialect words he had learned during this period. He knew that he couldn't back down. When he talked to Dali, he didn't want to see the displaced refugees again. When he talked to Xiaoli, he Support must be brought to Amo, he cannot let Amo fight alone on the front line!

Perhaps it was Zhu Yu's words that touched people's hearts, or maybe it was because they didn't know how to go back after leaving, so the soldiers calmed down and began to stand in line consciously.Zhu Yu's head was covered with sweat, he was a little exhausted from shouting, and his body was shaking a little, the captain stepped forward to support him, Zhu Yu thanked the boss gratefully, the boss just nodded, signaling Zhu Yu to return to the team, turned around and walked in the ahead of the team.

"Go ahead." The captain's words were short but firm, "There are still people waiting for us ahead, we cannot retreat."

***

The situation on the battlefield was better than Zhu Yu imagined.

This small frontier city in Haihuai Kingdom is called Baodu City. As the name suggests, it is the closest border city to the main city, the imperial capital. As long as it is guarded, the capital can be preserved, otherwise it will collapse completely. Therefore, what Zhu Yu said earlier The crooked attack made the soldiers think of this relationship. In fact, before Zhu Yu came to this border town, he didn't understand the geographical position of Haihuai country at all, so what he said was just emotional.

The explosion looked bluffing, but because the people in the city had already evacuated, it did not cause civilian casualties. The injured were all soldiers defending the city. Zhu Yu helped the medical soldiers in the team to bandage the wounded soldiers. By the way, I also took a look at the remaining traces of gunpowder in the city.

The fire/powder should belong to the Yunning Kingdom. Zhu Yu asked some soldiers present and said that the enemy had thrown it with a stone-throwing machine. They threw it several times in a row. No major casualties were caused.

"Your general...is his surname Yu?" Zhu Yu asked quickly when he heard the soldier mention the general, "Where is he now?"

"General Yu should still be on the city wall. Although the fire/powder has stopped now, I don't know when the next wave of enemy attacks will be. The general is watching." The injured soldier said.

"Then... is there anyone close to your general?" Zhu Yu asked sideways, wanting to see if Amo was by Yu Yuan's side.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, the soldier looked at Zhu Yu wrongly, he looked Zhu Yu up and down, curled his lips and said, "You are not bad looking, but our general probably doesn't like you who are so short. "

"Pfft!" Zhu Yu almost choked on his own saliva, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm a man! I don't have that kind of... that kind of thought about your general!"

"The masculinity in Haihuai country is so common, it's useless for you to emphasize that you are a man." The soldier waved his hand and said, "But give up, there are already people around the general, and they look stronger than the general."

"What does he look like?" Zhu Yu was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "What color are his eyes?"

"Eyes? Aren't eyes just black?" The soldier frowned at Zhu Yu, "Have you been fascinated by that legend too? Where in this world do you have different pupils!"

"Have you seen it? His eyes are black?" Zhu Yu's heart suddenly turned cold. Could it be that he really made a trip for nothing, and it's really not A Mo who is beside Yu Yuan?

"He is by the general's side every day. We have all seen him. His eyes are black." The soldier felt that Zhu Yu was very strange, and asked strange questions, "Do you want to bandage me? His arm is still bleeding!"

"Sorry, I'm not in the mood, you can pack it yourself."

Zhu Yu threw the gauze on the soldier listlessly, walked out of the room slowly, sat in the corner, looked at the sun in the sky covered by clouds and sighed.

Zhu Yu felt that he had lost the meaning of coming here all of a sudden. Although he had said so many high-sounding words earlier, his actual purpose was to meet A Mo. It was all Yun Le. Why did A Mo come to join the army with Yu Yuan? It's because I insisted on coming here, but this is the result.If you can't see Amo, why has he suffered so much and suffered so much?

"Amo, Amo, where are you..." Zhu Yu buried her head in the crook of her leg, feeling like crying for some reason.

Zhu Yu didn't know how long he had been sitting. He suddenly felt that someone was standing in front of him, blocking the already weak sunlight. He was not in the mood to let others move away, so he continued to keep his head buried.

"Master?"

This voice is...

"Amo!" Zhu Yu raised his head in surprise, standing in front of him, this tall man with bronze skin, firm and handsome features, who is it not Amo!

Zhu Yu couldn't hold back his excitement, and hugged the person he was thinking about day and night, tears couldn't stop falling, Amo was at a loss, and hugged Zhu Yu back in a panic, as if to make sure it wasn't an illusion .

"I thought I was in the wrong place, I thought I wouldn't see you here... That little soldier also said that the eyes of the person next to Yu Yuan were black...Huh?"

Zhu Yu's words stopped abruptly, because he found that the eyes of A Mo in front of him were not the blue eyes he remembered, but instead, they were a mass of thick black.

The author has something to say: just to say that the country in this setting is not big. The territory of Haihuai country may be as big as one of our provinces. The same is true for other countries. It is not that kind of big country. Refer to the Warring States Period.
