Chapter 187 No.20 Act Five Unexpected Part Two

In later generations, Xun Gong, a great historian, wrote the book "Shi Yu Lu".Among them, it is contained in an article in "National Policies Yubei Zhi":
"In the spring of the second year of Zhaoxi's great promotion, the Northern Pioneer crossed the Jinhe River and fought fiercely against thousands of barbarians at the western foot of Zangdaoling. They were defeated. The chieftains were defeated and fled to Yanluoyuan..."

However, the book does not mention what price Jiang Yan and his subordinate Tie Chongshan paid to break through the siege.And it was this Dahehan of the Muyun tribe who almost died under the arrows of Saxue riding, and after just a few months, he once again led an army that was hard to be underestimated by all the vassal states. In this chapter, the fate of everyone has been completely rewritten.

When Jiang Yan rushed out of the siege of Saxue cavalry that day, there were only a few hundred of the five thousand hussars around him.The reason why they were able to escape by chance was only because the four-edged armor-piercing arrows used by the opponent were expensive, and Yubei, which was located on the border, did not have enough national power to distribute them in large quantities. Therefore, after only three salvos, the two sides entered again. A hand-to-hand battle for the number of people.

At that time, Jiang Yan's voice was already hoarse, hoping to regroup as many subordinates as possible.However, Tie Chongshan, which has been hit hard, has already fallen into extreme chaos.The survivors had several arrow wounds more or less on their bodies, and even the rear hips and leg armor of many war horses were pierced by feather arrows, dripping with blood.

Facing Sa Xueqi's siege and interception, the injured horse could no longer bear the weight of the rider on its back and fell to the ground.In the desperate situation, a series of loud and clear battle roars suddenly erupted from the chaotic army, like the roar of a stag, or the howl of a lone wolf.It turned out that the fallen Iron Mountains had made up their minds to fight to the death, and kept swiping their knives to slash at the legs of the enemy horses approaching from all around, and shouted loudly in Shodi language:

"Tugulie Aoleji! Longevity bless you!"

Jiang Yan suddenly felt something gushing out of his eyes, causing everything in his sight to curl up and become blurred.Only half of the mask on his face was left at this moment, and the other half had already cracked and fell off during the slashing.And on Xiaotianmo in his hand, there was half a corpse that had already been cut off from the waist and stabbed through the chest with a knife.

The young man tried his best to lift the long knife in his hand higher, and raised the half of Sa Xueqi's body high in the air.The dripping blood dripped on his armor, as if it was raining in the sky.The ferocious face of the blood-soaked young man also made the northern cavalry who were surrounding him timid, and did not dare to move forward for a while.

The young Hehan was as stable as a rock, standing between the two armies, one man and one horse.And the Mo Dao held high in his hand was like a banner, gradually bringing together more and more iron heavy mountains.Taking advantage of the fact that the Yubei Army hadn't come together yet, the warriors raised their whips and spurred their horses to rush out through the gaps in the encirclement, towards the endless grassland, towards the direction they called home stand up.

In the evening, the exhausted remnants of Tie Chongshan finally stepped into the edge of Yanluoyuan under the leadership of Jiang Yan.The wind is blowing and the water is surging, the sunset is long and the river is long. The lake in the meadow in the distance, called Caobo, is like a dazzling pearl on the grassland, reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun.And the bloody battle not long ago seemed to have been diluted a lot by the sight in front of him.

But the young Hehan knew in his heart that Sa Xueqi of Yubei would not give up so easily.At this moment, those plain-clothed and white-armored cavalry troops may be following closely behind him less than ten miles away, while the heavy iron mountain beside him has lost its armor and armor, and is no longer able to fight.

Many people in the team have already removed the heavy armor from themselves and the horses to heal the wounds and stop the bleeding.In addition to the arrow wounds, countless new wounds were added to the warriors.Some of them were blind, some had their heads broken, some had broken arms and legs, some had wounds to the abdomen and chest, but none had wounds to the back.

With the help of several warriors, Jiang Yan also removed the slightly clumsy armor on his body.There was a long and narrow wound between the skin and flesh of his right leg, but it was caused by a blunt instrument through the thick iron armor.His left shoulder was also pierced by an armor-piercing arrow, leaving a bloody hole the size of a thumb.

Fortunately, the arrow did not hurt the vitals, nor did it break any bone.The bright red color oozing from the wound continued to condense into blood droplets at the tip of the arrow, dripping among the grass blades under his feet, rustling.

"Hehan, there may be some pain in the future, please bear with it."

Saying so, a warrior beside him raised his left palm and pressed it on the place where the arrow intersected with his body. Before the black-eyed boy could answer, he pulled the arrow out from the flesh.

The severe pain made Jiang Yan's eyes go dark, but he grasped his knees tightly with both hands without making a sound.When he opened his eyes again, the other party had already handed him a leather wine bag.

The pale boy took it with a slight smile, pulled out the cork with his teeth, and gulped down a few big gulps.Salha's alcohol soon became more intense, and the clothes soaked in cold sweat and blood didn't seem as cold as before.There were bursts of numbness from the wound, as if a few bugs were beating on it.

"Did these wounds on Hehan's body come from the battlefield before?" asked the warrior who pulled out the arrow while applying medicinal herbs to the wound.

"Some are, some are not. There are still some—I may have forgotten how they got on me." The young Hehan paused, "But in your eyes, this shouldn't be a big deal Bar?"

"What did Hehan say? With such scars, he can be regarded as one of the best warriors among the southerners or grassland people." The warrior replied.

"It's just luck that I didn't die, what about courage..." The black-eyed boy shook his head mockingly, and then asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Su He, and my surname is Bai Tu." The other party replied after carefully bandaging the wound.

Pulling back the half of the sleeve that Yan Jiang had taken off, he said, "Bai Tu——I heard from Tuya that this surname is also a member of the Wang family who fought with her grandfather Hongji 60 years ago. The unknown family is now Are you okay?"

"Hehan has a good memory." There was a trace of unexpected joy on the face of the opposite person, but he shook his head, "I had my mother and two elder brothers in my family, but they are no longer here. Fortunately, the elder brother is still here. gave birth to a wife and a son."

Hearing this, the young man's heart couldn't help but tighten.The previous battle with Muhe had seriously injured Mu Yunbu's vitality, but he never expected that when these warriors who had just lost their loved ones talked about life and death, there was an unparalleled calmness on their faces that he had never seen before.

Su He seemed to read the doubts on Jiang Yan's face, and continued: "He Han wanted to ask, why didn't I stay at home and take care of my relatives, but came here to die?"

The other party's directness made the young man suddenly realize his gaffe, and nodded hesitantly.

"Old General Yuan Ti told me that the family members will be taken care of by Haosheng, so there is nothing to worry about. After all, we grassland people will eventually enter the Longevity Heaven. At that time, I can see my brother and the others. Presumably they will also Will agree with my choice."

"Longevity—"

The young Hehan raised his head and looked at the Milky Way that was gradually appearing on the sky.The grassland people believed in their ancestors, and even more believed that the star river was the road to the Longevity Heaven.And every warrior who died heroically on the bloody battlefield will go to that place, and will eventually see many fathers, brothers, ancestors and fellow clansmen who also died heroically for the sake of their blood relatives.

So at the moment, this moment of rest, which seems to be in a desperate situation, has instead become the peaceful tranquility that the warriors used to appease the soul in anticipation of the sacred moment.

In fact, the young Hehan did not fully believe in these beliefs of the grassland people.He didn't say any more, but took out his sister's necklace from his bosom—in the crystal clear crystal pendant, the little red fish was a bit unrealistic, but it was like a burning flame, which was in line with the horizon. The rays of the setting sun are intertwined.

At this moment, the young man still has too many regrets in his heart: he is not sure whether the girl with red hair is still safe.He also didn't know whether that white-clothed peer in Mulu City would still be as gentle and elegant as before.To this day, he still wants to find out who the culprit who ruined his family was.I would like to ask more clearly whether the girl named Ziyuan in the Shihua Pavilion in Mulu City has any relationship with his younger sister.He was looking forward to eating the delicacies cooked by Sister Jia again, and visiting the big and small shops on Zitong Street.He also hoped that he could witness with his own eyes that General Baili's vengeance would be avenged.

Everything seems to be the same as it was a few years ago, nothing has changed.However, Jiang Yan vaguely realized that he might have changed at this time.Now, what can make him feel a little relieved is that there is still a trustworthy person who is staying in the depths of Yanluoyuan, staying by Tuya's side.And because I have not forgotten those memorable people and things, along the way, I have never violated my original intention-whoever treats him well, he will treat others well. "

The boy closed his eyes as black as ink, and put the necklace in his hand around his neck.When he opened his eyes again, there was obviously less fear and regret for death in his expression, but more courage and calmness.

"Maybe there really is a long life in this world. At least one day when we meet again, I can puff up my chest and tell you that Jiang Yan is not a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death!"

The young Hehan stood up abruptly, and took advantage of the momentum to pull up Xiaotianmo who was stuck at his feet.The black-golden blade pointed straight at the end of the horizon, standing still:

"This is no longer a strange land by the Jin River. This is the place where your ancestors herded horses and sheep for generations, and it is also the place where the loyal and brave spirits of the Muyun Department in Changsheng Tianzhong care for you! Today, even if we will all be buried here , but also let those enemies who dare to invade understand that Yanluoyuan is not a place where they can come and go whenever they want!"

Tie Chongshan also stood up from where they were sitting, raised their knives to the sky, and their voices shook the sky.At the same time, on the other side of the horizon, the sound of rumbling war drums came with the wind.

Saxue in white clothes and armor marched forward in formation, the horseshoes were raised and lowered in a rhythm to the beat of the drums, neatly, and even the ground under everyone's feet trembled slightly.The flag painted with a pair of horse heads fluttered in the wind, and it was as white as a spirit banner coming to summon the soul.

In comparison, the hundreds of heavy iron mountains standing in front of it are like a few weak praying mantises standing in front of the chariot.

With the sound of a horn, the imperial army stopped advancing.There were only a few hundred steps between the two sides, and Jiang Yan could even clearly see the faces of every cavalry in the Saxue cavalry formation, as well as their expressions of victory.

"Iron Heavy Mountain, let the horses under your crotch gallop! This year, the lush pastures in Yanluoyuan will be irrigated and nourished with the blood of these enemies in front of you!"

Under the leadership of Hehan, the last few hundred warriors held the reins tightly in their hands, clamped the belly of the horses under their crotches, and launched a final charge towards the Northern Army formation like sharp knives.And the sharpest sword light is the young man with lacquered eyes riding on Wu Chen's back.

Almost at the same time, a rain of arrows once again rose up in the Saxue cavalry formation.However, the heavy iron mountain with all its armor removed can run faster than the wind and faster than electricity!In the blink of an eye, they had already reached the front of the Yubei Formation, and the arrows flying in mid-air hadn't even landed yet!
Xiao Tianmo uttered another dragon's roar in Jiang Yan's hands.The voice went from low to high, until it reached the sky.Sa Xueqi in white clothes and white armor on the opposite side seemed to be stunned by this death-defying charge. He failed to block the impact of the heavy iron mountain, and was forcibly torn open a gap.

The young Hehan raised the knife and danced Xiao Tianmo into a black-golden circle around his body.At this moment, he could clearly hear the sound of the blade cutting flesh and cutting tendons and bones in his ears, and he could clearly see the frightened and painful expression on the enemy's face in his eyes.The strong smell of blood in the air made it even more difficult for him to control his arms. He just kept raising the knife tirelessly, chopping it down, raising the knife again, chopping it down again, as if turning into a bloodthirsty black dragon!
When he came back to his senses, the boy had already penetrated the enemy line.Behind him, there was a passage full of remnants and severed limbs, soaked in blood.And he and those hundreds of iron-heavy mountains seemed like evil spirits who had walked out of hell.Among the imperial army behind him, none of them dared to attack again, instead they seemed not to know whether to advance or retreat, and became chaotic.

Suddenly, there was another loud trumpet, and Sa Xueqi was completely defeated.Following the sound, he saw a group of men and horses holding the Canglang Bailu Banner coming out from the side of Sa Xueqi.The arrival of the reinforcements was totally beyond Jiang Yan's expectation. He suddenly felt that his body was out of strength, and even breathing became extremely difficult for a while.
