The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 623 Chapter 622 The Persevering Ling Tong

At the boundary marker between Xiazhi County and Qichun County, Ling Tong, who was only 15 years old, carried Zhou Yu with injured legs on his back, and shuttled desperately through the mountains. Every time he walked a certain distance, he would stop for a rest. , also made Ling Tong very tired.

At this time, Ling Tong and Zhou Yu were leaning against the boundary marker and panting heavily. Ling Tong was soaked in the Han water. After drying, there was a line of sweat stains on his clothes, but he carried Zhou Yu again. When walking forward, he would be tired and sweat profusely again, so his clothes were dry and wet, and from noon until now, within a few hours, he was already exhausted.

"Ling Tong, if this goes on like this, you will be exhausted to death. Listen to me, you should rush back to Chaisang now, let them know that I and the [-] navy have been wiped out, and let them notify you immediately. General Han Dang who was stationed in Liling asked Han Dang to lead his troops to Chaisang to garrison quickly to prevent the enemy from capturing Chaisang. Chaisang is our gateway to Jiangdong. Once captured, the enemy will drive straight in and reach Nanchang. At that time, the situation in Jiangdong will be critical." Zhou Yu looked at Ling Tong who was out of breath, and finally couldn't bear to let him go on behind his back, and he tried to persuade him several times along the way, but this child Ling Tong refused to let go. He doesn't care, he will be brought back alive or dead.

Zhou Yu knew that his injuries would drag Ling Tong down. Rather than both of them being buried here, it would be better to let him die here. Wouldn't have noticed there was another child.

Ling Tong shook his head vigorously, and said: "No! My father is dead, and everyone else is dead too. General Zhu Huan's final order to me is to take Dadudu back no matter what, as long as Dadu survives , Jiangdong still has hope, even if I die from exhaustion, I will definitely not let go of the governor here and ignore it."

"Stupid child! This moment, that moment, why are you so persistent. The Jiangdong navy is now completely wiped out. Even if I am alive, I can't stop the enemy's attack. At most, I can only delay it for a while. If we launch a full-scale attack on Jiangdong, without the obstruction of the navy, the entire Jiangdong will be flattened within a month. The most important thing now is not whether I live or die, but that we should notify our army as soon as possible. Good defense work, and mobilize the Shanyue people to resist the enemy's invasion together with our army, in this way, there may be salvation." Zhou Yu said earnestly.

Although Ling Tong heard Zhou Yu's words, he remained indifferent and ignored Zhou Yu.

After the daytime battle began, Zhou Yu knew that he had fallen into the enemy's tricks and was surrounded by the enemy's regiments. He knew that he could not escape, so he would live and die with the sailors.It was Zhu Huan who was quick-witted and beat Zhou Yu into a daze. Then he found a man who was about the same size and build as Zhou Yu. After exchanging clothes, he asked Ling Tong to try to take Zhou Yu out.

Ling Tong has excellent water skills and can dive tens of meters underwater. After seeing the three lines of defense set up by the enemy, he felt that there was nothing difficult to break through, so he took Zhou Yu, jumped into the water, and dived to the bottom of the water. Under the barbed wire, he easily avoided the line of defense, and was washed further downstream along the current.

If Ling Tong was on his own, he could have swam farther, but he still had Zhou Yu with him, so he had to find a way to land.After Ling Tong landed, he released Zhou Yu. At this time, Zhou Yu was submerged in the water and passed out. It was Ling Tong who woke Zhou Yu up.

However, when Zhou Yu's legs were crossing the second line of defense, they were scratched, and they were soaked in water for so long that they became infected. As long as they walked, they would be in pain.In desperation, Ling Tong had no choice but to carry Zhou Yu on his back, crossing mountains and ridges. From noon to this time, he walked for nearly 80 miles, and the roads were all rugged.

If it wasn't for Ling Tong's strong willpower to persevere, he would have fallen down long ago, and it would be impossible to get here.

The boy Zhou Yu looked down upon at first has now become his savior, what a twist of fate.

"Ling Tong! Did you hear what I said? I told you to leave here first and go to Chaisang to report the news. Otherwise, when the enemy reacts and knows that the person who died is not me, they will definitely lead their troops to chase them. At that time, none of us would even think about leaving!" Zhou Yu said angrily when he saw that Ling Tong ignored him.

Ling Tong said: "Bringing you back is my mission, and I will never let you go."

"Idiot! Stupid! Pedantic! Do you want both of us to die here? You go first, and I will find a way to go back. If you don't go, I will kill myself!" Zhou Yu said angrily.

Ling Tong was stunned for a moment, and then saw that Zhou Yu had no sharp weapons all over his body, so he laughed and said, "You don't have weapons by your side, how could you kill yourself?"

Zhou Yu said: "If you want to kill yourself, there are many ways. I can bite my tongue and kill myself, or I can kill myself. In short, there are many ways. If you don't leave, I will bite my tongue and kill myself!"

Ling Tong frowned, seeing Zhou Yu stuck out his tongue and was about to bite it with his teeth, he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, don't bite your tongue and kill yourself, I'll go, can't I go?"

Zhou Yu said: "After you have a good rest, leave here quickly and take back what I told you. As long as you guard Chaisang well, even if the enemy troops pass by and besiege the city, you don't have to worry. There is enough food and fodder in Chaisang city. , without a month or two, the enemy army will not be able to attack."

Ling Tong said: "But Commander, I'm leaving. What should you do? This is a deep mountain and old forest. There must be beasts and poisonous insects. If the enemy doesn't find you, you are found by those beasts. Then they won't eat you." ah?"

Zhou Yu said: "Stop talking nonsense, I have my own way, so don't worry about me, it's important to go back quickly."

Ling Tong stood up suddenly, and instead of answering Zhou Yu's words, he glanced around.After a while, Ling Tong said to Zhou Yu: "General Governor, please wait here for a while, I will go back as soon as I go."

As soon as the words fell, Ling Tong strode towards the mountains and forests. After a long time, he came back, and there was a trace of excitement on his face. Without saying a word, he carried Zhou Yu on his back, and returned the same way. .

"What are you doing? Why are you back?" Zhou Yu asked.

Ling Tong said: "I don't worry about the governor being here alone. I found a cave in front of me. I will put the governor in that cave first. I will come back after I have completed the task assigned to me by the governor. Take the governor."

After Zhou Yu finished listening, she stopped talking, but was moved by Ling Tong, and her eyes became moist.But the man did not flick his tears easily, and Zhou Yu only had tears rolling in his eyes, but he still held back the tears that flowed down his face.

When Ling Tong put Zhou Yu in the cave and arranged it properly, Ling Tong found branches outside and covered the entrance of the cave so that no one would find that there was a cave inside. Zhou Yu can even have a good rest inside.

After finishing all this, Ling Tong said to Zhou Yu outside the cave: "General Governor, you hide here first, and the general will come back to pick you up after completing the task!"

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Be careful!"

Ling Tong let out a "hmm", then took a step and left here in great strides.

Zhou Yu, who was in the cave, let out a long sigh. Unexpectedly, at the most critical moment, the person who saved him was someone he was unwilling to accept at the beginning. If the army's attack is not destroyed, Ling Tong will definitely become the only general in charge, and he will also be a famous general in Jiangdong's future.

Without the burden of Zhou Yu, Ling Tong walked like flying, crossing mountains and ridges as if walking on flat ground, and his steps became lighter, even at night, walking so briskly.

Hungry, there are wild fruits on the side of the road, pick them and eat them.

If you are thirsty, there is a brook by the roadside. With a handful of water, you can drink until you are full.

Tired, just sit on the side of the road, take a rest, and then start the journey again.

The distance of more than a hundred miles took him two hours to cover.

In the darkness of night, Chaisang City is brightly lit, with familiar military flags hanging on the majestic city walls, Chaisang City is close at hand.

A faint smile appeared on Ling Tong's face, and he finally arrived at Chaisang City with his exhausted body.

Under Chaisang City, Ling Tong staggered to the edge of the moat. Looking at the wide moat, the raised suspension bridge, and the closed city gate, his faint figure was simply not worth mentioning.

However, he has already arrived here, and he is only one step away from entering the city. He must not fall down here.

So Ling Tong shouted loudly to the top of the city tower: "Quickly open the city gate! Quickly open the city gate, the governor is back!"

The soldiers on the tower heard the cries outside the city, so they threw torches. In the faint light of the fire, they saw the weak Ling Tong, then lowered the drawbridge, opened the city gate, and a group of people slowly left the city. Arriving at Ling Tong's side, he hurriedly asked, "Where is the chief governor?"

After Ling Tong saw those wearing Jiangdong Army's clothes, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly said: "The governor is in a very safe place now, he asked me to come back first to report the military situation, the navy has been wiped out, please Go to Liling City quickly, and ask General Han Dang to lead troops to garrison Chaisang City to prevent the enemy from invading..."

As soon as the words fell, Ling Tong fell into a coma from exhaustion, his body was extremely weak.

At this time, a general-looking man in armor and an iron helmet squeezed out from the crowd, and the rest of the crowd clasped their fists as soon as he appeared, and said, "See you, general!"

Reflecting the bright moonlight, one could vaguely see the face of this person, it was actually Xu Huang.

That's right, this person is Xu Huang. He glanced at Ling Tong who was slumped on the ground, and said, "Take this person in and take good care of him. When he wakes up tomorrow, I will pull Zhou Yu's tricks out of his mouth." whereabouts!"

"Here!"
