night enchanting

Chapter 70 Return of the God of War (1)
Marching in winter is not a wise move.However, the two countries of Jin and Yi insisted on seeing the rare opportunity when King Chen's disappearance was still not settled, and jointly attacked, no matter how difficult it was to seal the country, they had to step forward.The battle situation in the south was stable and the troops were equal, but Yiguo suddenly dispatched [-] reinforcements from the other side to fight against the Fengguo. He was hit hard again, because he knew the strength of the feudal country and was unable to apply for reinforcements. Qin Zheng had no choice but to adopt a strategy of defending the city first.

Although Huangcheng won two games, it was 22 to 30. The Golden Army retreated to the canyon, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.Ru Mo and Mo Cange explored the enemy's camp at night, intending to capture the enemy's generals, but Yang Xiang, the general of the Jin Kingdom, was not an idler, and he had already taken precautions. False, unable to start for a while, and finally returned by burning most of the enemy's food and grass.Then a heavy snowfall blocked the key areas, the two armies temporarily rested for a few days, and both sides' food and grass were trapped on the way.

"Yide, this is the meal you, a stupid slave, prepared for Gu?" Nangong Ao's eyes were sharp, and he stared closely at Yide who was standing beside him with his head bowed, and put the only bowl of white rice among the gruel on the table to the side Pushing it, he shouted sharply: "Don't you know what's going on now? Everyone eats porridge, why can't Gu not drink it? Pull it back immediately, make the same porridge, and bring it over again. Hurry up!"

Yide was shaken by his drink, hurriedly agreed, took the bowl and walked out tremblingly.He also felt sorry for the porridge that the king drank for two days, fearing that he would not be able to hold on, so he did so after listening to other people's suggestions.Alas, he was the one who didn't think well, and scolded him for nothing.

Seeing that Nangong Ao's complexion was still very bad, Ru Mo smiled lightly and said, "Nangong Ao, he is also doing it for your own good. You are not someone who fusses over such trivial matters. Is there anything wrong?"

Nangong Ao looked at her, his eyes softened a lot, and he sighed inaudibly, Fang said: "If this matter, it's just that stupid servant who made up his own mind, but if someone deliberately instigates it, I'm afraid, it won't take a while , troubles will arise in the camp.”

Leng Yixiao frowned slightly, nodded slightly and said, "That's right, the soldiers in the army believe in the God of War in their hearts, which is irreplaceable. The fact that Ye hasn't appeared at this point in the war will only make them more and more angry." The more I doubt whether the previous news that King Chen is still alive is true, and the porridge for several days will definitely cause dissatisfaction in their hearts. It must be unimaginable.”

Qi Che also nodded and said: "Yi Xiao's words are reasonable, but we can also take this opportunity to find out the spies lurking in the army, but it may be difficult for this incident to subside. We have to wait for the food and grass in the army to arrive. , it will take at least half a month, and even if our current food and grass can maintain this kind of gruel, it will not last ten days."

Ru Mo frowned and raised his forehead, thought for a while, and then said, "Why don't you call on the people in the city to donate food and tide over the difficulties with us, after all, no one wants to be a subjugated slave after all."

Nangong Ao reached out and shook her hand unconsciously, nodded, and said: "I have never considered this method. Almost all the richer people in the city have moved to other places when the war started. Now, the people in the city are left The snowfall was less than half of what it was before, and it was not easy for them to rely on the accumulated grain in the past for this heavy snowfall, but when it was a last resort, they had to adopt this method."

Nangong Ao is really a good emperor, it is rare to be able to think about things from the standpoint of the common people.Ru Mo shook his hand back, smiled at him, and passed on his strength. These days, she knew that Nangong Ao had endured a lot. After all, he had never personally experienced a war, and it was not easy to achieve this level.

Nangong Ao glanced at the people around him one by one, and finally stopped on Rumo, and said with a little shame: "I have troubled you all, if Ye was here, maybe everything would be different."

Ru Mo shook his head lightly, and comforted him, "Don't belittle yourself, you've done a good job."

Nangong Ao shook his head with a self-deprecating smile, stood up and walked a few steps towards the door, looking at the white snow scene outside the door, which should have been beautiful, but at this moment, those snows seemed to be accumulated in people's hearts, The feeling of icy cold.He said quietly: "Back then, our country's military strength was far inferior to what it is now. One hundred thousand elite soldiers were lost in one battle, and only 2 were left. It was 23. Everyone thought that the battle would be defeated without a doubt, and no one dared to take on the responsibility. Wei Ye stepped forward and issued a military order, and he would never return. Ye Heng, the treacherous prime minister at the time, was afraid that Ye would win the battle and gain power Confronting him, he withdrew food and grass secretly. Ye took the lead to fill his hunger with weeds, and reversed the inevitable defeat. After a while, he wiped out the enemy with thousands of injuries and returned triumphantly. God of War, shocking all directions. The current situation, compared to that time, is many times better, but alone..." He sighed softly, but finally did not continue.

After experiencing the hard work of today, and listening to Nangong Ao's short words, one can imagine how difficult it was back then. It may not be difficult for a prince to take the lead to feed himself with weeds, but what kind of strength is needed to bring a hundred thousand troops here? Under the circumstances, they fought against the enemy with one heart, without any complaints, and finally won a complete victory.After all, not everyone can get the title of God of War.

Nangong Ye, there is only one him in this world.

As long as Ru Mo thinks about it, he will feel distressed, yes, it is distressed!However, how could such a Nangong Ye stay in a pure land at this moment because of his exhaustion, unwilling to defend his family and country?Could it be that there is some unknown reason?

"Your Majesty, it's not good!" A sub-battalion lieutenant hurried in without waiting for an announcement, but in the winter he was sweating and panting, and reported: "The soldiers of the third battalion... the riot has already begun!" Came outside the door."

Nangong Ao's complexion changed violently, and he got up immediately, without looking at the lieutenant general, and without stopping, he passed him and went out.Qi Che and the others immediately followed.

A riot in one battalion will trigger turmoil in the entire army.

The third battalion, with 8000 people, was lined up neatly outside the gate, but all of them looked angry and aggressive.These people were all the soldiers who fought with Nangong Ye eating grass back then, the elite divisions of the National Defense Army.Today's porridge is much better for them than it was back then, but since they heard that the king was treated differently from them, they remembered the prince Nangong Ye who took the lead in suffering back then.They are not afraid of suffering, but feel that the master who cannot endure hardships with the soldiers is not worthy of their hard work.

Chang Geng, the leader of the three battalion commanders, spoke plausibly and angered at what he said, and the thousands of soldiers behind him all agreed.

Nangong stood proudly on the steps, looked down the stage, his face was expressionless, unable to see what was going on in his heart.

Qi Che looked serious, and said in a deep voice: "How did General Chang know that the king eats differently from the other soldiers? The back kitchen did prepare a bowl of rice for the king, but he was reprimanded by the king and withdrew the porridge. The purpose is to share weal and woe with all the soldiers in the camp. If you don’t believe me, the food on the table will be used in the future, and you can see for yourself.”

The soldiers below looked at each other, Chang Geng was at a loss for words for a moment, half-believing and half-doubting.Qi Che has been with King Chen for a long time, and he still has some credibility in the army.

Nangong Ao remained expressionless, letting everyone below whisper.Qi Che's face darkened, his sharp gaze was directed at Chang Geng, and then he spoke sharply: "Your Majesty enshrined the country and all the people for the sake of the country, the country, and the people, regardless of the body of gold, and marched by himself. Now the enemy is present, the war is tense, and there is a natural disaster Heavy snow, food and grass will arrive at a later date. As a subject, we should put the king's dragon body first. Not only do you not realize this, but you have caused such trouble because of this matter. How can you be decent? General Chang, you As the commander of the third battalion, you should know how to distinguish right from wrong, but you acted so recklessly, causing trouble in vain, do you have military law in your eyes?"

Qi Che's words were reasonable, he first clarified that the matter was false, the king shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and then sternly reprimanded such actions as violating the way of a courtier and disregarding military law.Chang Geng was startled when he said that, all the soldiers of the three battalions were speechless, and they lost the momentum they had just now.

At this time, other soldiers in the battalion had also surrounded them, and more and more people gathered.Nangong Ao gave Qi Che an appreciative glance, took a few steps forward, and stood still.His eyes swept over the crowd one by one, and with a wave of his sleeves, the king showed his imposing manner, and his voice was impassioned, he said: "Gu, since the imperial conquest is of course not here to enjoy the blessings, but to advance and retreat with the whole army. From today onwards, Gu I will move to the military camp and eat and sleep with you. There is absolutely no special reason. Each of you is an iron-blooded man of our country. To guard the frontier, you have shed blood and sweat, but you remember, the reason why you are here Desperate, not for the orphans, nor for the country to be sealed for a hundred years, but for the common people of the world to seal the country and the people, so that your parents, wives and children in your hometown will not become subjugated slaves and be oppressed and trampled."

"Your Majesty!" Qi Che and the others were startled, the spies in the camp had not been eliminated, so they moved to the camp rashly, fearing that something would be wrong.Just as he was about to persuade, Nangong Ao raised his hand to stop him.

The people below were agitated by this speech.Just as he was about to kneel down, he saw one of the soldiers stand up, with his head held high, and he looked straight at Nangong Ao, without the slightest fear in his eyes, let alone the respect he deserved, and instead he asked aloud: "Your Majesty's words sound good. , I just don’t know if I can still believe it? When I first arrived in Huangcheng, the king repeatedly proved that King Chen was still alive, but if the prince was alive, how could he ignore the border war? Moreover, someone in our camp received a letter from the family saying that the city of Jingdu is still alive. Someone nearby found the body of the prince, please give me an explanation."

As he spoke, his eyes were red, and none of them wanted to believe that the prince was dead, but the facts were in front of them, but they had no choice but to believe it.Who doesn't know that the prince regards responsibility as his life, if the prince is still alive, it is absolutely impossible for him to let the feudal kingdom be repeatedly seized by the enemy and ignore it.

"Yes, we need an explanation. We all followed the prince through life and death, but now we don't even know whether the prince is dead or alive. How can we fight with peace of mind?" All the soldiers mentioned that someone found the prince's body, and their expressions were sad. Even the other soldiers in the battalion who surrounded them just now were the same, and they all followed suit. The safety of King Chen has always been their most concerned issue.

"I heard that the prince jumped off the cliff for the master of the Demon Palace, is it true?"

"We don't believe that the prince will disregard the righteousness of the country for a woman..."

……

Nangong Ao's eyes brightened, a letter from home?corpse?snort!Jin Jun also knew the significance of Nangong Ye to the feudal army, so he seized on their fatal weakness and repeatedly made a fuss. Although he knew for certain that Nangong Ye was still alive, under such circumstances, no matter what he said, the soldiers If you don't see people, you won't believe them.As they said, how could Ye let Fengguo be in such a predicament and ignore it?Even he was very skeptical that there was something wrong with it, and if the news that Ye was alive was not from Ning'er himself, he would not believe it.How do you convince others that you don't believe in yourself?

Perhaps there is a way to prove it, and that is to disclose the identity of Ning'er Demon Palace's Mistress, and she is still alive who fell off the cliff together, so it will be easier for people to believe that Ye is also alive.But he won't do that, because that will only make Ning'er a target and be hated by others.

If the matter cannot be calmed down, the morale of the army is turbulent, and there is no need for the enemy to attack, they will be defeated without a fight.

"Report——! Report to the king that the enemy army has attacked and has begun a massive attack on the city. Please, the king...make a decision."

Nangong Ao was startled, Yang Xiang really thought carefully, as soon as one side used tricks to stir up civil strife, the other side immediately attacked the city.No longer thinking about it, and no longer being obsessed with proving Nangong Ye's whereabouts, he just said with a solemn expression and a dignified tone: "The enemy is now, and if you don't want your family members to become subjugated slaves, work together with Gu and go out of the city to meet the enemy."

After saying that, he waved his sleeves and left, and went to the barracks to fight.

Qi Che and Leng Yixiao followed immediately.Ru Mo, Mo Cange, Yi Yu, and Wanli also followed. Although they have no experience in leading troops to fight, they are superior in martial arts. Among hundreds of thousands of soldiers, at least they must keep Nangong Ao safe and sound. , otherwise, the closure of the country is really over.

In a sudden war, the Jin army's treacherous schemes were ahead, and now they are coming prepared again. The temporary deployment of troops in the closed country, the army's morale is unstable, and the strength of the troops is very different. This battle has already decided the outcome at the beginning, unless, A miracle happened.

battlefield.There is no thrilling flash of swords and swords in the duel between masters, only the sound of swords piercing the enemy's flesh one after another, either sharp or dull.

The moment before, the sword in his hand pierced the enemy's body, and the next moment, whose sword pierced their body again, decisively and mercilessly.

Even though Ru Mo saw a lot of death, he couldn't help being moved by the cheapness of human life.Waving the Shadowless Sword, rows of people fell down. However, this was nothing among tens of thousands of people.In a huge battle, relying on the strength of just a few people, no matter how superb the martial arts are, they will suffer life and death.

The Jin army was all extremely brave. On the other hand, the Fengguo army did not have the momentum that an elite army should have at all, only being beaten.How does this look like the National Defense Army?
Incomplete corpses piled up like a mountain.

The blood melted the solid ice all over the place, and condensed again.

Rolling head, under whose horse, eyes wide open, unwilling to rest in peace?
Rumo only felt a sudden burst of heat and humidity from her neck. In this cold winter day, it did not bring her the slightest warmth, but was bone-chillingly cold.I don't know who, under someone else's sword, the spurted blood splashed all over her body, the white robe was completely dyed, and instantly condensed into ice. There was only a scarlet scene in front of her eyes, and the bloody smell from the tip of her nose was getting stronger and stronger, making her People gag.

This...is the real war, the cruel field of Shura.She had the illusion that this kind of killing couldn't stop until they were all dead.

Feng Jun was so passive in front of the more and more courageous Jin Jun, and suffered heavy casualties.Seeing how vulnerable his army was, Nangong Ao couldn't help being deeply shocked.Watching them fall one by one in front of him, no, falling one by one... His heart ached so much that he could hardly hold the sword in his hand.

At this moment, Yang Xiang saw the right time, and slashed at him, with the momentum of a heavy-handed daughter, and pressed down heavily.

Nangong Ao was terrified, the sword in his hand was still on the enemy's body and it was too late to withdraw, suddenly, he only sighed in his heart, my life is over!

Yang Xiang's speed was extremely fast, Ru Mo Yiyu and others were concentrating on dealing with the endless enemies around him, but after seeing his situation, they couldn't save him in time, so they couldn't help screaming.

"Nangong Ao—"

"Big brother-"

"Kings--"

"..."

Just when the knife touched his skin, and he thought he was going to die, he heard a loud "clank", which pierced his ears full of ringing sounds, leaving a long time of raw pain.

Yang Xiang's saber was knocked away by an unknown object ejected from a distance, and the huge internal force mixed in it made him recede, he was caught off guard and fell off the horse.He hastily turned over the treasured saber to take a look, and was stunned on the spot, opening his mouth wide in surprise, a gaffe he had never experienced before.He thought it was some great hidden weapon, but what was deeply embedded in the blade turned out to be...just a temporary ice ball made of snow!who is it?There is such a powerful and terrifying inner energy?

Nangong Ao was shocked, Yang Xiang's martial arts is not something to be taken lightly, but under his aura, he can use a hidden weapon to shake him away to save his life, except for that one person, he doesn't think of anyone else.Looking back in shock, he only felt the blood in his chest surging, and he was so excited that he couldn't hold it back.He, after all, did not abandon him.

The black figure on the galloping white horse, with the majestic murderous aura of a sharp sword unsheathed, and the flying horseshoes of the BMW under the seat splashed large snowflakes, which further set off the invincible momentum of the owner.His black hair fluttered in the air in the bitter cold wind, his handsome face had a solemn expression, his pair of phoenix eyes were narrowed, and the eyes were as sharp as knives, making one's heart tremble.

"King Chen—!" Yang Xiang was shocked, he didn't die!As soon as King Chen comes, the morale of Feng Jun will be greatly boosted. Doesn't his previous strategy fail without attack, and Feng Jun will definitely fight back in anger. It seems that this battle is difficult!

Ru Mo looked back in astonishment, looking at him who existed like a god in this battle, galloping towards him with full momentum, suddenly, all kinds of feelings came to his heart, and he finally smiled with relief.He finally came!Yes, how could he disregard Nangong's arrogance?

With a flick of Nangong Ye's sleeve and a pull of the rein, the white horse immediately stopped, raised its front hooves high, and then stood upright, letting out a long neighing sound, matching the innate awe of the man in black on the horse's back. All in one, shocking.

"It's the prince! The prince is here, brothers, it's the prince—" Feng Jun shouted in surprise.

"My lord is still alive, that's great! That's really a rumor that the enemy used to disturb our army's morale!" A soldier raised his sword high and shouted excitedly: "Brothers, fight the enemy hard, use our victory to fight for the enemy!" I, the God of War of the Feng Kingdom, has come to welcome the wind and wash away the dust."

"Kill!" All of a sudden, the sound of killing shouts resounded through the sky, shaking people's ears.Feng Jun's expressions were all excited, he changed from being passive when he was beaten just now, and became imposing like a rainbow, achieving the momentum of one against ten.

What is the situation?Ru Mo stared blankly at Nangong Ye, they were desperately fighting the enemy, exhausted, and could not see any hope of victory, but when Nangong Ye arrived, he neither brought reinforcements nor made any actions, without words , just a look, no, maybe even the look is not needed, as long as he stands there, the tall man is like a god, giving strength to all the soldiers and arousing their fighting spirit.

Turning defeat into victory is so simple!This is the military spirit.

As for Nangong Ye, he has such abilities.

The enemy is in chaos. "It's the god of war from Fengguo, isn't it that he's dead? Why is he still alive?"

"No, General Yang, King Chen died in the bombing, we may have fallen for it, maybe there is an ambush here, let's retreat quickly..."

Yang Xiang's eyes changed, and he also thought of this possibility. After all, everyone knew about the series of schemes that closed the country and the court a while ago. To be on the safe side, it's better to be careful and take a long-term plan.Thinking of this, he ordered loudly: "Retreat!"

But in the blink of an eye, the situation on the battlefield reversed, and the Jin army's position was already in disarray. Even though they retreated hastily, they still did not lose any troops or generals.

This set defeat, only because of his arrival, the ending is completely different.

"See the prince—" 20 people kneeled down, what a huge momentum it was.
