[Zuzhou] White clothes in the world

The moment the county gate closed, Mo Jingzhi climbed onto the towering city wall of Beiyang.There were only a few city guards on the city wall who had just been woken up by his entry. Other than that, there was only one young soldier in black armor standing upright on the battlements facing the wind like a gun, looking straight at the battlements below. The clear water of Haohao soup.

"Cheng Muyang?" Mo Jingzhi saw this young man when he walked up the battlement.

Hearing the sound, the young man turned his head slightly, and by the light of the fire lit in the brazier on the battlements, he saw clearly the person walking towards him.Mo Jingzhi's loose hair was tied up again when he walked up the battlements, but it still couldn't hide the tiredness on Mo Jingzhi's face.After galloping for forty miles overnight, Mo Jingzhi was able to climb the battlements to investigate the situation of the battle, which was incredible for the rumored lazy Marquis Jinglie.

"Master Hou, you are finally here!" Cheng Muyang knelt on one knee, his upper body was still straight, like a snowy pine, strong and straight.

Mo Jingzhi helped up the soldier who was kneeling on the ground, turned his head to look at the pitch-black clear water, and frowned.According to his estimation, Shile's Baige should have arrived at the city of Beiyang County at this time.The night attack on Beiyang had to be fast from the very beginning. Mo Jingzhi thought that the moment he arrived at Beiyang, a hundred boats would arrive at Beiyang at the same time and attack immediately, without giving Mo Jingzhi any chance to defend.Now, not only did Gu Minglan not launch an attack immediately, even the mighty hundreds of ships disappeared at the same time.

The waves on the clean water were choppy, and the waves were beating against the shore. The sound of the waves came one after another, and every sound hit Mo Jingzhi's heart, shaking people's nerves.

"Before I came, did you find anything unusual on the clear water?" Mo Jing tapped his hand on the wall brick, trying to calm his panic.

Cheng Muyang shook his head: "Nothing unusual."

"Strange..." Mo Jingzhi once again stared at the clear water under the battlements. The cold moonlight shone on the water surface, sparkling. It is winter now, and the fish in the water have all swam back to the south. If it is a summer night, With the transparent moonlight, you can also see swimming fish jumping out of the water.At that time, fishermen would drive a flat boat, hold a harpoon, and wave it under the moonlight. The light from the harpoon and the light from the moonlight on the scales of the fish would draw two brilliant rays of light under the night sky, reflecting each other with the moon hovering above their heads. .

It was so quiet on the water, it was so quiet that it made people chill in the bones.Fuyu couldn't help but hugged her arms tightly. Yankong Beiyang County and Shile Xuanzhi County are the two northernmost counties in Zuzhou. Too cold.However, Fuyu, who has lived in Licheng for more than ten years, is afraid of the cold wind in Beiyang County.Mo Jingzhi saw Fuyu who was trembling with folded arms, took off the cloak on his shoulders, and tied it on Fuyu.

"Thank you...Master Hou." If it was more than a month ago, Fuyu would have accepted it with pleasure, but now that her identity has been exposed, Fuyu felt the sudden warmth Mo Jingzhi gave her, a little flattered, but also a little guilty.

Mo Jingzhi nodded slightly, turned around and said to Cheng Muyang: "How many of our people are there in the county?"

"It's less than three thousand." Cheng Muyang told the truth.

Mo Jingzhi asked again: "How many soldiers and horses are stationed in Beiyang City?"

"Five thousand."

"How many civilians?"

"Thirty thousand."

Mo Jingzhi pondered for a moment, raised his hand and patted Cheng Muyang's shoulder and said, "Let the five thousand Beiyang garrison take the civilians back to Yanjing, don't go through Chilong, try to walk along the Yankong Mountains."

Cheng Muyang is a personal soldier trained by Mo Jingzhi, and he never questioned Mo Jingzhi's orders.Cheng Muyang nodded, and immediately walked down the battlement, his back remained upright until he disappeared.

Fuyu wrapped the cloak that Mo Jingzhi gave her, retracted her gaze from lingering on Cheng Muyang, and asked, "Master Hou only keeps his own soldiers? There are 1 people in the city, and there should be [-] men at least. If you distribute weapons to resist the Tianyu army, you can still fight. Why did Hou Ye even withdraw the five thousand troops?"

The south wind from Qingshui was not much hotter than the north wind from Beimo, on the contrary, the biting chill pierced into my heart one after another.Mo Jingzhi withdrew his palms that had been blown by the south wind on the battlements, slowly closed his eyes, and sighed: "Yankong's soldiers are running out, so if you can save some, why bother to accompany me to die."

"Master Hou..." Fuyu took a step forward and squeezed Mo Jingzhi's hand tightly.In the past, these hands would pick up the pastry she made and pass a piece to herself, and she would touch these hands by accident. These hands are warm and reassuring.Now, these hands have lost their original warmth. "What did General Yu do to you?" Fuyu wanted to cry, even though she knew that Mo Jingzhi would never fall in love with her, Fuyu didn't want anyone to hurt him.

Mo Jingzhi calmly took his hand from Fuyu's. He raised his hand to wipe off the tears falling from Fuyu's face, and smiled softly: "Because I really love him so much."

This is the first time that Mo Jingzhi directly mentioned his deeply hidden feelings in front of a person, and mentioned that person's name.Fuyu had vaguely guessed that the person Mo Jingzhi loved was a man, and Mo Jingzhi had also told her that more than 20 years ago, there used to be a personal bodyguard of the Young Marquis who planted flowers and grass and could make cakes in the Jingliehou's mansion. He also heard Mo Jingzhi whisper the name unconsciously after he was drunk, and then he dropped the towel in his hand to wipe his sweat in panic, and ran out of the house crying as if fleeing.

"Master Hou, why don't you take pity on the person in front of you?" Fuyu cried, and couldn't help laughing while crying.

Mo Jingzhi wanted to wipe away Fuyu's tears again, but the hand hanging in front of her finally stopped in mid-air.He shook his head, seemingly helpless, but also clear in his heart. "Fuyu, I will not be your reliance, nor can I help Bai Ze restore the country." Mo Jing's hand fell on Fuyu's shoulder, his eyes were as bright as stars, Fuyu suddenly raised her head, and met Mo Jingzhi's With a pair of eyes, startled, he quickly lowered his head and bit his lips tightly.It was rumored that Hou Jinglie of Yankong was lazy and cunning like a fox, how could Fuyu have forgotten.

"I didn't intend to borrow the strength of Lord Hou." Fuyu murmured, and timidly stepped back a little, so that she could stay away from Mo Jingzhi, and prevent him from seeing the panic on her face clearly.

Mo Jingzhi put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, and murmured: "This troubled world has been too long."

Hearing his exclamation, Fuyu trembled slightly.She knew what Mo Jingzhi meant, and Bai Ze's hope of restoring the country was slim.When did Fuyu think that there was hope for Bai Ze's reunification?She just didn't want to miss any opportunity.

"Fuyu knows." Fuyu stood three steps away from Mo Jingzhi, with a calm and comfortable smile on her lips.

Mo Jingzhi turned around and walked towards Fuyu. When he walked past Fuyu, Fuyu suddenly asked Mo Jingzhi: "Master Hou, in order to end the troubled times, you don't even want your own life?"

Mo Jingzhi stopped, didn't look at Fuyu, and said casually: "Mo Yishen and Gu Minglan both want my life, tell me, who will I give this life to?"

"Gu Minglan." Fuyu said without thinking, looking at the lantern hanging on the battlement in front of her.

Gu Minglan asked Bai Ge to stop thirty miles away from Beiyang County.Bai Ge is suitable for water battles and not used to land battles. He has no time to train a well-equipped navy, and Yankong does not have an army that can fight on water. Only land battles are the most absolute and fastest battles. Way.

The [-] Heavenly Feather Army stepped down from the hundred boats and lined up neatly according to the instructions, like silver waves.Gu Minglan raised her hand, and the silver waves quickly divided into three rows, and the middle group of silver-white armored soldiers holding snow-colored longbows formed a continuous row.

Gu Minglan put down his hands, and the group of soldiers with bows walked under the moonlight first. They were divided into groups of a hundred people and submerged into the dense forest under the gate of Beiyang County.In just a moment, the archery team of [-] people disappeared by the clear water.

On the towering city wall of Beiyang County, the lanterns swayed in the wind, flickering on and off, unable to clearly illuminate the situation on the city wall.Behind Gu Minglan, the 1000-day feather army stood by the clear water, standing still despite the cold wind. 10 years ago, Emperor Yuanshi pacified the civil strife in Zuzhou, and then established this army. From a few hundred scattered at the beginning, he gradually reorganized into an army of nearly [-] people and swept across Zuzhou. When Zuzhou was unified, Emperor Yuanshi ordered Qinglong King to general The Heavenly Feather Army was reorganized, and adopted the policy of "offsetting slavery with military exploits", and recruited nearly [-] Tianyu Army, and marched northward to Beimo.Although the Northern Expedition Tianyu Army suffered heavy losses, it made Beimo no longer dare to covet Zuzhou for thousands of years.After thousands of years, in today's troubled times, the prestige of the Tianyu Army is still there.

"Everyone listen!" Gu Minglan raised his sword and shouted, "The rope ladder is ready! Attack!"

With an order, the [-] Heavenly Feather Army moved in unison, and the sound of orderly footsteps resounded across the clear water, reaching the head of Beiyang County, waking up the sleeping Beiyang defenders.

"Cheng Muyang! Order all Beiyang defenders to escort the people in the county out of the city! Hurry up!" Mo Jingzhi looked at the Tianyu army gradually gathering under the battlements, the moonlight shone on the silver-white armor of the Tianyu army, giving off a cold light.

Cheng Muyang divided the [-] Beiyang defenders into [-] groups of [-] people, and escorted [-] Beiyang County civilians to evacuate.

The people in Beiyang were awakened in their sleep and ran for their lives overnight. Except for the crying of the children, no one showed any panicked expressions.This is the troubled times. For 500 years in the troubled times, people living under the flames of war have already become numb.

The people of Beiyang retreated one after another. Under Beiyang County, the Tianyu Army had begun to attack the city. A thousand archers hid their bodies through the battlements.

Troubled Times—Can it End?

The arrow whizzed past, and accurately shot a black-clothed soldier under the battlement between the eyebrows. The soldier who was ascending the city screamed and fell to the seven-foot-high city wall.Qingyi took a deep breath, and took out another arrow from the quiver. There was only one arrow left in the quiver that could hold twenty arrow clusters. Under the city wall, [-] ink cavalry were attacking the city.The battering ram slammed into the city gate of Fufeng County, and the people standing on the battlements clearly felt the tremor under their feet.

"Has Bai Yue come back yet?!" Qing Yi aimed the last arrow at the enemy who was close at hand, and asked Wu Xuan loudly.

Wu Xuan pressed his hands on the cold brick surface of the battlements, his breath was short of breath, he was concentrating on trying to find out where Shu Ningbai was, the thief was captured first, the king was captured first, and Shao Si Ming, who had been hiding in the Si Ming Yuan, was using his own way Delay this seemingly hopeless war.

Qingyi shot the last arrow, and there was a scream, Qingyi had no more arrows to use.He could only draw out the long sword at his waist, and stabbed the enemy who was about to climb the battlement with one sword, pushing the corpse off the wall.The smell of blood became stronger and stronger, Qingyi stared blankly at his hands covered in blood and his chest was congested, but he had to swing his long sword again and cut off another enemy's head.

"Wu Xuan!" Seeing more and more enemy troops ascending the city, and the Tianyu army on the battlements gradually weakened, Qingyi had no choice but to call out to Wu Xuan again, although he knew that even so, it was useless.

"In the middle formation!" Suddenly, Wu Xuan opened his eyes, and a scorching white light emanated from his fingertips. Under the moonlight, the young man in silver-white armor leaped forward, heading straight for the army formation in the middle of the city. and go.At the same time, two swift black shadows broke through the heavy enemy army, and rushed from the foot of the battlements to the center formation Wu Xuan pointed at. Their speed was faster than Wu Xuan, like two sharp knives, and the corpses they passed All over the place.

"Bai Yue?" The Azure Dragon King, who was slashing, stopped and looked at the swift black clothes under the city wall, his lips trembling.

The young general on the horse felt three killing intents coming from far and near, Shu Xibai tightly held the long sword in his hand, and held his breath.A huge mysterious force came from the city wall, and the other two killing intents came from under the city wall all the way through the encirclement. Shu Xibai instantly decided which force to attack.

The moment the white light arrived, Shu Yan Baiteng jumped up a foot high. The long sword that was originally held in his right hand was tightly held by both hands. Next, he had clearly seen the young man in the white light.There was a hint of determination on Qingjun's face, there was no killing intent in his pure eyes, only crazy joy, Shu Ningbai's heart trembled slightly, in this Shura field, this young man who was like a god would actually have a ghostly ecstasy, he is people?Or a ghost?

At the critical juncture, Shu Ningbai's wild thoughts could no longer be tolerated, and he slashed down with his sword, aiming at the young man's neck accurately with a sharp sword style.The blade was still an inch away from Wu Xuan's neck, and Wu Xuan could clearly see Shu Ningbai's frozen gaze and incredible expression through the white light. Turning around, he slapped the ground with his palm, white light radiated from his hand, and a sudden force shook the soldiers gathered around Shu Ningbai dozens of steps away.Two black shadows approached the moment the white light disappeared, and the short crossbows on the wrists of a man and a woman pointed at Shu Xibai who had just landed.

"Order to withdraw the troops!" The short crossbow on the wrist of the woman with blue eyes pointed at Shu Xibai, and ordered.

Shu Ningbai frowned slightly, the numbness on his wrist hadn't dissipated, he only glanced at the three people opposite him, and then turned his head to look at the battlements.

The lanterns flickered in the wind to illuminate everything on the battlements. In the bright and dark light of the fire, a young man in silver-white armor was standing on the battlements with a longbow in his hand, but there was no arrow in his other hand.Qingyi panted heavily, his long sword was thrown aside, the scabbard hanging from his waist disappeared, and the jade jade engraved with the emblem of the green dragon shone blue in the moonlight.

Shu Ningbai looked down at the scabbard at his feet, raised his toes, and stepped on the hidden weapon shot from the city wall.

"Withdraw!" Shu Ningbai ordered the ink cavalry surrounded under the battlements to retreat without hesitation.In this battle, he missed the best opportunity. Even if he risked his life to let the soldiers attack the city, how could the [-] ink cavalry without the commander be able to resist the people who had the blood of the Azure Dragon King and the spirit of the water god to protect them? ?

With Shu Ningbai's order, the ink cavalry gathered under the battlements retreated immediately.Shu Ningbai jumped on his horse, turned his head and glanced at the tired-looking young man in silver armor, and said in a low voice, "Is Shi Le really willing to do anything to unify Zuzhou?"

"Yes!" Wu Xuan gritted his teeth vigorously, and squeezed out a word from between his teeth.
