late night song

Chapter 42
Facing the battlefield where he had no control over his fate and where blood flowed like rivers, Qi Jinjue was a little startled. Although he expected the dangers of the war, he never put life and death aside. For a moment, he actually regretted entering the border war. Although the court was It was a strange situation, but it didn't lead to such a hasty death.

He looked up to the sky and saw that the sky at noon was hazy with gunpowder smoke. He couldn't help but think of the sweet sounds of silk and bamboo in Dongqi and the warm sun in the courtyard.

Yes, he was afraid of death, terribly afraid.

Even if his father accuses him face to face of being greedy for life and afraid of death, and of being useless, he must admit it.

If there is a chance to go back, he will seize it.This was also the first time that he admired Qi Jian's fearlessness in lying in the abyss forever, and began to admit that he might really be inferior to him.

But since you are red-blooded and destined to never go back, let's make a desperate move.

Qi Jinjue re-arranged the battle flag and led the soldiers to fight the enemy bravely. He was at the forefront. This also boosted the morale of Zhenxi Army and Dongding Army. Everyone longed to return to their hometown to perform filial piety and marry a wife in their lifetime. Give birth to a child, so no one can give up until the end.

The two sides are fighting each other, and the fresh blood is sweet and warm, splashing on the chest, face, mouth and eyes. No one must die, but those who invade our country and kill my relatives will either die or live.

From noon to almost midnight, the fighting never stopped for a moment. The Linghe River was completely stained with blood. The hot and boiling color made the floating corpses look less cold.

The soldiers of Xirong were full of energy and kept coming like evil ghosts, while the soldiers of Dongqi were exhausted after three days of hard fighting. At this time, even the wind had two flavors, half like the strong thirst of aged wine, and half like a dark well. The damp despair at the bottom.

The heavy fog at night is majestic. Is the end approaching?

The soldiers looked through their hometown of Wenli, and the girl who thought about it day and night under the ancient locust tree seemed to become clear before their eyes. You are waiting for me, and I may be late for a lifetime.

The wild wind blew away, and the Dongqi warriors who were holding on to their swords but still holding on to their unyielding determination did not see the swaying ship fire approaching. Instead, the fires on the other side of the water were swirling, the sound of drums fell to the ground like a torrential rain, and the clash of swords and sharp weapons was harsh.

"Look! Our reinforcements are coming too!"

Someone shouted, the voice was hoarse but extremely happy.

"It's saved! It's saved!" A young man who was on the battlefield for the first time couldn't help but choked in a low voice, "Mother, my son can go home!"

Qi Yijue's left arm was injured, his armor was scattered, his lips were chapped, and he was exhausted.

The speed of Qi frame's journey was far beyond his imagination. His joy of victory far outweighed the regret of missing out on military achievements. Promotions, promotions, wealth and splendor were nothing compared to life, but he was still unwilling to accept it. , and this unwillingness became stronger every second after his life was safe. He pursed his lips and couldn't explain what it felt like.

Before February, outside Yumen Pass, the Xirong cavalry army attacked the city again, but they still harassed them in roundabout ways. Even if the city gate was opened and the Pingqi army came out of the city to meet the enemy, they refused to fight head-on.

This was the case for several days. Five days later, the number of harassing Xirong cavalry doubled, but they only clamored for one day and then retreated in a hurry.

But at this time, the King of Qin was no longer in Yumen Pass. The abnormal behavior of the Western Rong in response to the war and attacking in the east and west to capture other border cities made him suspicious for a long time.

So he ordered Xunying who was ambushing at the border early in the morning to inquire about the situation in the Hehe Kingdom. As he expected, the harassment outside the Yumen on the southwest border was just a cover-up by the Xirong. The purpose was to contain the main force of Dongqi in the northwest, and then take the opportunity to go around to the back of Dongqi's true north. Defend, cut across the southeast to capture the fertile land in the hinterland of Linghe, and then wait for an opportunity to kidnap Hehe for annexation.

At this point, the King of Qin began to secretly transfer back the main force of the Pingqi Army in batches to strengthen the garrison in the north. However, he was unable to catch up with the lightning-fast assault of the Xirong cavalry. Fortunately, the army suppressed them at the critical moment and reversed the decline of the city blockade.

One night later, all activity on the other side of Lingshui had ceased. After many days of fighting, the soldiers of the Zhenxi Army were all scarred. Even those with intact limbs were exhausted. When the crisis was completely resolved, the joy of victory was instantly taken away. Only their broken and exhausted bodies were left, and they all collapsed to the ground, their eyes vague and empty.Except for the Pingqi Army reserve force, which was working non-stop to count casualties, set up tents, and take care of the captured Xirong sergeants, the other soldiers who collapsed on the ground took a short rest and then all left the battlefield together.

The soldiers who were able to move carried their unconscious comrades, and the soldiers who were unable to move supported each other. Military doctors and medical attendants also bandaged and treated the seriously injured soldiers separately.

The remaining Xirong army concentrated its forces and broke out of the siege, but there were only less than 10 troops. The King of Qin led his troops to pursue them until they reached the border of Dongqi, and the Xirong army quickly retreated to Hehe.

Because he had crossed the national border, if Dongqi, the God of War, led troops into Hehe in person, he would be provoking Beiling and destroying the alliance. Therefore, he ordered his lieutenant to pursue him while he returned to Fengcheng to reorganize the remaining troops.

Qi Jie hurried forward, not only was the remnant army waiting to be reorganized, but he was also thinking about Gu Yu Chu. On the battlefield, he saw that she had been wounded by a sword blade. Although he believed in her martial arts skills, she was outnumbered and could not get any advantage.

When he returned to the Lingshui River, a simple overpass built by bundling a number of wooden boats crossed both sides of the Lingshui River.

The logistics camp also started to set up a fire to cook soup. The smoke was curling up, and the aroma of rice soup was fragrant. At night, the shore of Lingshui returned to silence and peace.

Qi Jinjue finally met Qi Jiejie. They were both injured, but Qi Jijue refused to acknowledge Qi Jiejie's contribution to saving the world. Qi Jijue was even more embarrassed by Qi Jijue's reckless actions and rashness. The two men who successfully met each other spoke kindly and nodded, which was considered a face-to-face meeting.

Gu Yuchu's shoulders and arms were stabbed with sharp blades in several places, and her cheek was also scratched, but she didn't care about her injuries, and ignored the doctor's greetings, and hurriedly looked for Gu Fan.

On the bank of Lingshui River, the battlefield was vast. It took me half an hour to find him. Fortunately, with the experience last time and Xiao Yuan protecting him, the young man only had some scratches and nothing serious.

"Sister, you are injured!" Gu Fan was very anxious when he saw his wound.

"Keep your voice down." Gu Yuchu reminded him by tapping Gu Fan's head with his finger.

"Sister, are you in pain?" Gu Fan obediently lowered his voice and leaned closer to express concern.

"It's a small injury, it won't hurt."

"The sleeves are stuck to each other. Go find a doctor and bandage them." The woman didn't care, but Gu Fan persisted.

"There are so many wounded soldiers. It's better to stay close to them and see the doctor first. I'm fine. Are you hungry? Let's go have some hot porridge."

"it is good!"

Children are really easy to coax. Gu Yuchu calmed down Gu Fan's anxiety with a few words and pulled him to sit down around the campfire.

After drinking several bowls of hot rice soup, Gu Yuchu's body warmed up, and like the soldiers in training, Gu Yuchu's body relaxed unconsciously.

Gu Fan was also exhausted, and after a while he fell asleep leaning against her.
