My years as a soldier

At that moment, the shadow of death suddenly covered Hu Jiuzhang's whole body, and he suddenly felt a deep-seated fear.

will die.

This thought has never been as strong as it is now.In the past, he always felt that shrouding corpses in horse leather and blood-stained battlefields were something a soldier should bear.But when he really faced death, he suddenly realized that personal life and death cannot be decided by mere words.He doesn't want to die.If it is natural for a soldier to die during a mission, then he doesn't want to be a soldier who will die, he wants to live, and he wants to live like a human being!

The thoughts in this moment suddenly ignited Hu Jiuzhang's wounded body, and he wanted to dodge to one side, but at the same time, a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of him.

Hearing the black shadow scream, it turned out to be a living person!

As soon as the black shadow came, the speed of the stabbing knife obviously slowed down. The person holding the knife was probably also attracted by the person who "flyed" out suddenly. Hu Jiuzhang took the opportunity to roll to the left, almost at the same time, the horizontal knife When the knife stabbed, there was a sound of Ling Ran, the blade was only less than half an inch away from his back, and the murderous aura released from the blade almost swallowed Hu Jiuzhang to death.

"Take him away!"

Zhang Zhi's shout came from the side, and it wasn't until then that Hu Jiuzhang realized that the black shadow that "flyed" in front of him just now was the prisoner they captured, and Zhang Zhi threw the prisoner out directly, just to Attracts the enemy's attention for a moment.

But the situation in front of him does not allow Hu Jiuzhang to lie down and meditate. The sound of Zhang Zhi's footsteps has already rushed to the front, but he did not run towards Hu Jiuzhang, but held a horizontal knife, and grabbed the prisoner who had thrown himself back. palm.

The prisoner wanted to cry, but was about to ask for help from his own soldiers, but Zhang Zhi had gone mad and started killing, and the few soldiers who reacted slowly had already become Zhang Zhi's dead souls.He grabbed the captive's back collar with one hand, and used that poor captive as a human shield. If anyone cut him, he would push the captive to pick it up.And how can a prisoner wait to be cut so honestly? He and the rebels are brothers in the same robe, and when they see the sword of the same robe, they want to greet him, and they have already yelled at him.

All of a sudden, a string of Northeast yells and curses came and went in the small open space. On one side were the captives cursing and howling miserably, on the other side were a few Northeast soldiers who were entangled by Zhang Zhi, yelling at Zhang Zhi. scold.

While Zhang Zhi was fighting with others, Zhao Xiaoyang also rushed to Hu Jiuzhang's side.

"Captain Hu, let's go!"

Before Hu Jiuzhang got up from the ground by himself, Zhao Xiaoyang involuntarily carried him on his back.

But obviously, the place where the three of them were resting just now has been surrounded by the pursued enemies. If Zhang Zhi hadn't killed people violently just now, Zhao Xiaoyang would have no room to escape.

"There must be locals as guides in this group of people, otherwise they would never find this place!" Zhao Xiaoyang said angrily, and there were three or four people's footsteps behind them, some far and some near.

In the dense forest, the night is dark, but when the little sound can affect the life of a person, even if the sight is blocked, the five senses of a person can be stimulated with extraordinary potential in the face of the overwhelming desire to survive.Zhao Xiaoyang walked like flying, and looked back from time to time to check the distance between himself and the pursuers.

"Damn it! Captain Hu bows his head!"

Hearing Zhao Xiaoyang curse angrily, he turned around and drew a dagger from his waist, wanting to head-on with the enemy soldiers chasing behind him.Hu Jiuzhang was completely awake at this time, so he simply let go of his hands and got off Zhao Xiaoyang's body.As soon as his feet touched the ground, there was another severe pain in his legs like a lightning strike, but at this time, the pain was no longer pain. The pain made his mind clearer, and the desire to survive became incomparable at this moment. soaring.

"Lamb, back off!"

Hu Jiuzhang felt his short knife from his waist. He was stronger than Zhao Xiaoyang when it came to fighting at night. Although the high fever had already damaged most of his physical strength, as long as he could not die, he still had no strength at this time. Woolen cloth?

Before Hu Jiuzhang could finish his sentence, Zhao Xiaoyang was already in hand-to-hand contact with the enemy who rushed up first. Hearing the sound of "Zheng", Zhao Xiaoyang was shocked back several steps, and the others almost fell to the ground due to the backward inertia.

If this continues, Zhao Xiaoyang might die before Hu Jiuzhang!

"Don't accept the trick, go ahead and explore the way!" Hu Jiuzhang yelled at Zhao Xiaoyang, his voice tearing at his swollen throat, which made people tremble.

There was another flash of white light in front of him, Hu Jiuzhang received the knife, his wrist was numb from the shock, as if the whole hand was no longer his own.

But at any rate, he took the blow and was not shaken away like Zhao Xiaoyang.

Zhao Xiaoyang saw that Hu Jiuzhang had accepted the attack from the enemy, so he was not willing to escape by himself, so he ran around in a circle to Hu Jiuzhang's side, and the two cooperated with each other to fight with the three enemy soldiers who were chasing them, and they lasted for two After three back and forth, he has already lost the wind.It is true that Hu Jiuzhang, who was ill, could not stand such a fight.

On Zhang Zhi's side, the battle has already moved to a different situation.

Zhang Zhi held the horizontal knife that was handed over from the captives, and was wearing the light armor of the Tang army that was taken off from the captives. There was nothing he could do for a while.Zhang Zhi fought while retreating, taking advantage of the dim light at night, coupled with the interference of the captives screaming and screaming, he managed to kill three or four people one after another. Seeing that he was about to get rid of the pursuers, Zhang Zhi grabbed them After being captured, he fled in the direction of Hu Jiuzhang and Zhao Xiaoyang.

When Zhang Zhi came, it was like a divine soldier descending from heaven.

Hu Jiuzhang and Zhao Xiaoyang fell into desperation several times, and they were about to become the souls of rebel soldiers, but Zhang Zhi came from behind with the captives. three dead bodies on the ground.

The poor prisoner was probably afraid that Zhang Zhi would continue to use him to block the knife, so he cooperated with Zhang Zhi very much at this time. Zhang Zhi ran forward, and he ran forward. When someone was chasing him, he took the initiative to remind him.

All of a sudden, the team, which was almost in a desperate situation, survived such a desperate situation!

Zhang Zhi dragged the prisoner and ran to the end, while Zhao Xiaoyang carried Hu Jiuzhang on his back again. With one step, he disappeared into the dark forest in a blink of an eye.

"Find the right direction!" Zhang Zhi closely followed Zhao Xiaoyang's pace, always on guard against the pursuers behind him, and Zhao Xiaoyang was already dripping with sweat.

"It should be in this direction...it should be..."

Zhao Xiaoyang muttered in his mouth, the night was too dark, he had never tried to wade into the mountains and forests in such a dim light, and there were pursuers behind him.

"Walking through this beast path, one will reach the river. As long as we can cross the river, those soldiers will not be able to track us, and the river will wash away all our traces!"

"That's a good feeling..." Hu Jiuzhang lay on Zhao Xiaoyang's back. He had just taken a breath before he was forced to fight the enemy again. Consciousness will be lost along with it.

The three of them ran forward for about a quarter of an hour, and Zhao Xiaoyang's pace gradually slowed down.

"It should be here, why is there no sound of water?" Zhao Xiaoyang was full of doubts, and after he walked forward for more than ten meters, the dense forest suddenly disappeared, and what appeared in front of him was a sky full of stars.

"That's not right...how come it's not that river..." Zhao Xiaoyang's voice began to tremble a little, he didn't have the heart to appreciate the starry sky above his head at this moment, they went the wrong way.The three people who were supposed to reach the river actually walked to the edge of a cliff!

"Going wrong?" At this time, Zhang Zhi also caught up with the prisoner.The prisoner saw this scene with a smile on his face.

"This is a dead end. I advise you to surrender honestly. We are all from Tang Dynasty. Where should we fight?"

"you shut up!"

Zhang Zhi scolded angrily, and his expression was serious.

At this time, except for Hu Jiuzhang who half-closed his eyes, Zhang Zhi and Zhao Xiaoyang looked at the bottom of the cliff with gloomy eyes.

The cliff under the night is bottomless.Everything at the bottom of the cliff is hidden in an unfathomable darkness, which seems to be able to swallow all hope and vitality of people.

Just for a moment, the ghostly footsteps of the pursuers sounded behind the group of people.

"They were chasing so closely..."

At this time, Zhao Xiaoyang was no longer sighing, but fearful.He turned his head to look at Zhang Zhi, but Zhang Zhi was still looking at the abyss under his feet, without saying a word.

"If you want me to say that you have surrendered honestly and survived, it is better than jumping down like this without thinking and falling into the wilderness." At this time, only this one was taken. The captive of the shield for a night can still stand in front of the cliff and talk with some gloating taste.

It's just that before he finished speaking, a hoarse voice came faintly, and it was Hu Jiuzhang who forced himself to speak.

"Why is there still life? If we kill your people, even if we surrender, how many days can we live? It's just a routine execution after a severe torture."

"Hey—how could it be! If the information brought by the three is particularly useful, or if the three can go deep into Tongguan and work for us, then they must be able to save their lives."

The prisoner still didn't give up, he probably insisted that the three of them didn't dare to jump off the cliff, and instead of fighting the rebels to death on the cliff, it would be better to surrender the enemy.After all, as long as you can live, it is better than anything else.

"Team Zhang..."

Among the three, Zhao Xiaoyang was the first to waver. He looked at Zhang Zhi with pleading eyes.

"No." Zhang Zhi said suddenly, with an extremely firm tone, "Surrender is absolutely impossible. There are only two roads in front of us now, one. We stay here to meet the enemy. We will never survive. We can kill one and count as one." , it’s better than dying in the enemy’s camp tomorrow. And this other one..."

Zhang Zhi looked gloomyly towards the bottom of the cliff.

"Let's jump from here now. Whether we live or die depends entirely on God's will."

Zhang Zhi's words completely blocked the only option that could bring life to the three of them.After Zhao Xiaoyang listened, he lowered his head and looked at the bottom of the cliff for a long while, tears came out of the corners of his eyes.

"Team Zhang... If there are only two options available, I would rather jump from here now." His voice was filled with tears, "Even if we want to meet the enemy, Team Hu and I can only be your drag. Besides, in the final analysis this time, it’s all my fault, I went the wrong way..."

As Zhao Xiaoyang said, tears started to fall, he should be ready to die, there was a little groan in the crying, anyone could hear that he was crying for his mother .

"Jiu Zhang, what do you think?"

Although Hu Jiuzhang could no longer be treated as a combat power, Zhang Zhi still looked very solemn when he asked about him.

"……war."

After a while, Hu Jiuzhang finally answered.

"If we die under the cliff, no one will know our whereabouts. I would rather die in battle!" Hu Jiuzhang said, his voice became more determined.

At this moment, he was unable to think about his own life and death.If the desire to survive that erupted just now was a flashback before death, then now, it is truly the end of life.He already had to start thinking about his funeral.

Li Muyun's shadow flashed everywhere in Hu Jiuzhang's mind. In the final analysis, this task was accepted for Li Muyun's sake, and he was also obliged to call Zhang Zhi and Zhao Xiaoyang's names for Tang Jun to remember.

If they die in battle with the enemy, they will be the warriors of the Tang army, and if they jump off the cliff, they will not leave a trace in this world.Tang Jun will not send people out to search for their remains. In the end, all the glory will have nothing to do with them.

Hu Jiuzhang made up his mind and made up his mind, but when he raised his head and looked at Zhang Zhi, there was a meaningful smile on Zhang Zhi's face.

"I really don't want to stay here and fight to the death." Zhang Zhi said calmly, "The result of jumping off the cliff may not necessarily be a death. Now we don't know how high the cliff is, and we don't know what's under the cliff. Death or life is hard to say. But I want to live, so I choose to take a gamble. I bet that the cliff is not high enough to fall to the death. I want to jump off the cliff, would you like to jump with me?"

After Zhang Zhi said this, Zhao Xiaoyang's mourning face showed a little bit of excitement, even hysterical.

"My father said, I am protected by the Great Immortal Yang, I will definitely live! I will definitely live!"

As Zhao Xiaoyang said, he was about to go down the cliff.

Zhang Zhi grabbed the prisoner who was about to sneak away, and held the prisoner tightly beside him.

"Jiu Zhang, have you made up your mind?"

Hu Jiuzhang leaned on Zhao Xiaoyang's back and only let out a long sigh.

"Hey... If I really die here, I..."

"Jiu Zhang, when things come to an end, why don't you think of something better. You were able to turn around and avoid that fatal knife just now. I don't believe you want to die."

"Can……"

Before Hu Jiuzhang could say anything, Zhang Zhi had handed over the captive to Zhao Xiaoyang. He personally supported Hu Jiuzhang to stand on the ground, and leaned over to carry him on his back.

"Jiu Zhang, even if there is an abyss below this cliff, your elder brother Zhang died before you. I understand your thoughts, but I also want to ask you to let me gamble. I have a wife and children at home. I don't want to die, even if I climb, I have to climb back home!"

Before Zhang Zhi finished speaking, the four people on the edge of the cliff had already fallen into the boundless darkness below the cliff.
