Above the canal, a fierce battle is in full swing.
Xiao Jue ordered twenty elite soldiers to dive into the bottom of the water with iron claws and pierce through the Utuo ship.
There are thousands of Uto warships, and it is impossible to pierce them all, and it is difficult to use underwater strength. Ten people form a group, and pick the two in the middle to hit hard. As a result, the team of Utuo's ships connected by the iron hooks were all in chaos. They were busy cutting the iron hooks, and watched He Yan's boat escape from the front.
"Those bastards!" Maka was furious, grabbed the bow and arrow from the soldiers next to him, and fired arrows at the soldiers in the water. However, the 20 selected people, all of whom were good swimmers with agile skills, avoided them immediately. In this way, the enemy chased me, and the enemy advanced and I retreated, which caused the Uto people to be disrupted.
"You continue to use the iron fork." Maka ordered with a sullen face, "I don't believe that they can stay underwater all the time and catch that woman first!"
The woman who pretended to be Mu Hongjin greatly humiliated him. The Utuo man had the best face. If he couldn't catch the woman today, his subordinates and his cronies would laugh at him secretly. Even if he wins the battle, when he returns to Uto City, I am afraid that this matter will still become a joke, and rumors are everywhere.
Only by grabbing the woman and torturing her severely can she save face.
"Follow me!"
A slight breeze fell on the person's face, and it was slightly itchy, very small, but it was immediately caught by the person.
He Yan looked at Mu Yi, and Mu Yi's eyes were full of surprises: "It's windy!"
Although it was a very soft wind, God finally stood on their side.
The soldiers behind him were chasing after him, and He Yan lowered his eyebrows: "Lead them into the ambush."
"Yes!"
The boat seemed to be trying to escape the water and rowed desperately into the distance, only to be set off by the tall boat beside it, which was a bit pitiful.
"Where are they going?" asked the lieutenant beside him.
Xiao Jue looked at the direction He Yan was riding in the boat. The canal was calm. If he remembered correctly, there should be several hidden reefs in the water. If it is a small boat, it can be avoided naturally, if it is a big boat…
Xiao Jue: "Follow them and disperse the Uto people's forces."
"The Governor?"
"It's windy." He lowered his eyes and said coldly.
The wind is still soft, like the gentle play between lovers, bypassing everyone. Mu Yi paddled desperately, and only asked He Yan, "Miss He, can I set the fire now?"
"No." He Yan said: "The wind is not strong enough."
The wind was not strong enough, and even if the fire was lit, thousands of Uto soldiers could not immediately fall into the sea of flames. They have all kinds of ways to put out the fire instantly, and the timing of the battle is important.
"Then what do we do now? They are about to catch up." Mu Yi was anxious.
He Yan looked back and said, "I'll hold them back."
"You?" Mu Yi worried, "Can you do it alone? I'll accompany you."
"No," He Yan patted him on the shoulder, "you take this boat and stay in your own position with the other boats. The Uto military boat will probably come to deal with our boat when it sees our boat. You must protect the boat. ," She paused and said again, "Protect yourself as well."
"But..." Before Mu Yi finished his words, he saw that He Yan had his toes on the bow of the boat, swept towards the big boat where Maqa was.
"Why did Miss He go alone!" The deputy soldier was surprised.
Xiao Jue said, "Let's do it."
With a "bang", the small boat hit the big boat, knocking the big boat slightly, Maqa's face was ashen, "Why is the ghost still alive." He grinned, "But thousands of people want to use their arms as a car, since you are so If you want to die, this general will send you a ride!"
He waved his knife and shouted at the people behind him: "Warriors, let's fight!"
The two men and horses stood together, and although the Jiyang City army was outnumbered, they were not afraid. He Yan and Xiao Jue, headed by them, mixed with the people around Maka. He Yan wears a whip with iron claws. When wearing iron claws, it smashes boats badly, but it's not bad for people. As soon as she swung the whip over, she swung a person over.
But the whip was not a sword after all. It pierced one person and could not be taken back for a while, and more and more Uto people rushed up, and they were already rushing up behind her. She kicked the person in front of her with one foot, and the strong wind was coming behind her. He Yan turned sideways to avoid, and a crystal long sword stood in front of her.
Xiao Jue turned his back to her, the sword in his hand was dripping with blood, he pulled Yin Qiu out of the Uto man's chest, and reminded in a low voice, "Be careful."
"Commander," He Yan said, "let's go together!"
The two of them turned their backs to each other, one held a sword and the other held a whip. They handed over their backs to each other. At this moment, they trusted with all their hearts. It was clear that they had never fought against the enemy together, and between life and death, there was also a wonderful tacit understanding, like sympathy for each other, and there was no need to remind each other of every action, and they naturally understood the cooperation.
For a time, the Uto people could not get close.
The deputy commander picked out a Uto man, and she looked back at the scene. She thought for a moment and said, "What is the origin of this girl, and her skills are so good?"
She didn't rely on Xiao Jue's help, or Xiao Jue's protection, but she was able to join forces with Xiao Jue at the same time, not only did she not hold back Xiao Jue, but she even cooperated with ease.
"General, this woman is amazing!" The cronies said to Maka.
Xiao Huaijin is amazing, that's because he is the right army governor of the Great Wei Dynasty, General Feng Yun, this woman's name has never been heard before, and she doesn't seem to be very old, how could she be so powerful? Could it be that there are many talented people in the Wei army, and Xiao Huaijin is not the only one with such skills
For a time, Marka regretted taking the initiative to invite Ying to Jiyang. He saw that Jiyang had few troops, and Mu Hongjin was a woman in charge. He thought that capturing Jiyang was a simple matter, so he took the credit. Who would have known that a good person would meet Xiao Jue and a troublesome woman. The two of them joined forces, and their skills were outstanding. And the Jiyang City Army, just a few days ago, the spies came to report that the Jiyang City Army has not fought for many years, the formation is old, and it is not the opponent of the Utuo people at all. It was only when they actually fought today that they discovered that their military spirit was strong and their momentum was unabated, and even their formations were different from those in the past.
Although the Jiyang city army has been reduced by more than half at this moment, for the 150,000 army of the Uto people, this did not immediately take the city, but suffered a lot of losses. It is a shame and humiliation, unimaginable!
"Jianren, rush for me!" Maka gritted his teeth and looked at the men and women surrounded by Uto people, "I don't believe it, they can beat me 150,000!"
The mast of the ship was straight and motionless, but the flags hanging on it swayed. It was not a very slight swaying like before, but a flow that could be seen, like a bird spreading its wings.
"It's windy!" He Yan's voice couldn't hide his excitement, "The Governor, it's really windy!"
It's not a breeze, it's more like a breeze, maybe it will become a strong wind or a gust of wind.
and…
"It's the southeast wind!" He Yan's smiling eyes curled with joy, "It's the southeast wind, Governor."
Xiao Jue glanced at her and said, "It's time to lead you into the urn."
He Yan looked at him, a smile flashed by, and he jumped up and said, "Go—"
The two of them broke through the siege, as if they were out of strength, and jumped on a boat of the Jiyang City Army. The Jiyang City Army on the boat was rowing desperately, as if to take them far away.
"Want to run?" Maka sneered and waved his hand, "Follow me! We must take these two heads today!"
At this juncture, the Jiyang City Army has become less and less, and it is obvious that Xiao Huaijin and the woman are outnumbered. Although Macha had doubts in his heart, is Xiao Huaijin the kind of person who would abandon his troops and run away? But this doubt was quickly diluted by the joy of the upcoming victory. No matter how heroic and invincible they are, I am afraid that these people will not be able to return to the sky. One of the favorite sayings of Dawei people is "Leave the green hills without worrying about no firewood", maybe they are not good at seeing the situation, they want to escape first, keep a low profile, and then make a comeback. Tamakka will chase them to the end today.
The cronies were a little hesitant: "General, don't chase after the poor. If you don't want to wipe out the remaining Jiyang city army here, it is the right way for us to go ashore and enter the city."
"You know what!" Maka said contemptuously, "Jiyang city army has lost its shape, and has captured Xiao Huaijin..." The greed flashed in his eyes, "The king will only reward me. This is a feat that will go down in history!"
Everyone in Wutuo knew that he led troops to attack the city, and as a result, not only did he take down Jiyang City, but even Xiao Huaijin, who made the world feel fearful, also died under his sword. Speaking of which, this life is also worth boasting about! Besides, he suffered a lot from the woman who pretended to be Mu Hongjin. Maqa was a man who would pay back, so he couldn't be reconciled.
For a time, I just hope to exterminate them all.
"Chase!"
The boat is driving fast in front, and there are countless inconspicuous reefs hidden under the mighty and wide canal. On weekdays, merchant ships have long been experienced, and they should be avoided far away. But these utopians may not know.
They don't necessarily know what kind of weapons are hidden in the seemingly inconspicuous boats scattered around.
"General, have you seen those boats?" the confidant asked Maka.
Around the water, dozens of small boats appeared. These boats were like the boats of the Jiyang City Army, but the people on board were not as big as the Jiyang City Army just now, and they were distributed at several ends of their military ships. If there is no distance, it seems to have bad intentions.
The ominous premonition was getting bigger and bigger, and the cronies said, "General, is this an ambush? Do we want to..."
"Ambush! If you're afraid, go back to your hometown as soon as possible, I don't raise cowards among Utopia soldiers!" Maka kicked the people around him with one kick, "It's just a few boats, talking about ambush, I want to laugh at people Big teeth! We have so many boats and so many people, they are not called an ambush, they are called to die! I seem to be good, prepare them for me, wait for them to get closer and shoot arrows!"
After thinking about it, the cronies felt that what Maka said was also reasonable. These Jiyang boats were like moths to the fire. Even if they came from all directions, it seemed that there was no chance of winning.
He Yan's signal had already been released, and the rest of the boats led by Mu Yi were approaching this direction one after another. He Yan turned his head and glanced at the Uto warship behind him, the warships were getting closer and closer.
At the same time, the wind is getting stronger.
The flags and flags on the boat were blown, and the joy in her heart rippled through layers of joy, which she couldn't restrain.
"What?" He Yan asked Xiao Jue.
Xiao Jue twitched the corners of his mouth, "Click."
The Jiyang City soldiers around the two men stopped their paddling, "Get into the water!"
"puff puff puff"—
The sound of falling into the water was heard one after another, and the people on the Uto Soldier were stunned and asked, "Why did they all jump into the water?"
"Prepare the iron fork! Even if you fall into the water, you can still fight." Maka said gloomily. Only when they are poor in skills and come to a dead end.
He Yan smiled slightly, stepped on the bow of the boat, and took out a flint from his arms.
"呲-"
A very slight sound popped out of her hand, but it didn't make people take it to heart. The girl's eyes were bright and her smile was slyly, "A big gift for you, I'll take it!"
A spark streaked across the sky, like a meteor from the sky, and the next moment, it fell into the boat. At the same time, the sound of the Jiyang City Army falling into the water was also heard in all directions.
The sparks landed on the opened curtain, on the dry wood covered with ointment, only to hear a loud "Boom", and a huge firelight exploded from the boat, almost illuminating the entire sky. .
The Uto warship was quickly engulfed by fire, and the wind gradually picked up. Slantingly blew the entire flame towards Utto's ship.
…
The movement on the canal seems to have spread to Jiyang City.
Lin Shuanghe walked out from the backyard of Cui Mansion, looked into the distance, and said to himself, "What is that sound?"
Zhong Fu, who was beside him, also listened attentively, but was unable to answer his question. After a while, Zhong Fu looked at Lin Shuanghe and asked, "Young Master Lin, do you really want to stay here?"
He now already knows the true identity of Lin Shuanghe, the so-called "personal butler Lin", as expected, there is no such thing in the world, at least he has lived this age and has never seen one. This young man seems to be polite, and I heard that he is a doctor. He is different from Xiao Jue and He Yan, and he has no skill at all. If you don't evacuate with the people, why stay here
"There are so many sisters and sisters in this mansion," Lin Shuanghe said with a smile, "If I leave, who will protect them?"
Zhong Fu was speechless for a moment, speaking as if he was very powerful.
"The ladies of Cui Zhongqi are still in the mansion, and several sisters dare to stay, how can I escape alone? I am a man anyway," Lin Shuanghe shook his fan, smiling as before, " Men, of course it's time to protect the girls."
The second concubine looked at Lin Shuanghe who was talking to Zhong Fu outside through the window, and said with a chin, "This young master Lin looks weak, but I didn't expect to be a man at a critical time. If I were ten years younger..."
"So what?" Aunt Wei glared at her, "What time is it, you are still in the mood to think about this!"
"I'm just saying something casually, why is my sister so excited." Second Yiniang stretched, "It's hard to say whether we can live until today, so I can't let me dream for a while."
"Bah, bah," said Si Yiniang, "Second sister, don't be a rude mouth, Master will definitely defeat those utopians, we can not only live today, but also live tomorrow, and live a long, long time. The days of the day! Didn't the master say, that Qiao Huanqing Qiao Gongzi is actually the general Feng Yun of the Great Wei. With General Feng Yun here, this battle can be won no matter what. Don't worry!" She said it quickly and anxiously, He seems to be confident, but he doesn't know if he is comforting others or persuading himself.
San Yiniang loved to cry, and the tears rolled in her eyes for a long time. At this moment, when she heard the words, she finally couldn't hold back her tears and said, "What about General Feng Yun? We haven't fought a war in our city for many years, and there are not many soldiers yet. , he's not an immortal. I'm still so young, I don't want to die, I... Master hasn't spoiled me for a long time, I'm so afraid... "
"Don't cry!" Concubine Wei shouted with a sullen face, seeing San Yiniang shrinking back, still couldn't hold back her tears, she finally sighed and handed her another handkerchief, her voice softened, "What are you afraid of, let's Although she is a concubine, she is also a member of the Central Cavalry Mansion. There is no need for the master to protect her from the front, and we are behind us crying and pulling our legs."
"Even if it is a concubine or a woman, she is also a woman in the middle of the cavalry. You must have integrity and not be afraid of death. If you win this battle and the master comes back alive, we will celebrate and treat him as a soup to make him feel relieved. If we lose ... The master is not coming back, and we are not begging for our lives under the hands of the Uto people. We have all the ropes in our hands, and everyone will die, but sooner or later."
"Our sisters are in the same place. Even if there is really no way to survive, there will be someone to take care of on Huangquan Road. What are you afraid of?" she said.
The second Yiniang laughed with a "puchi", tears seemed to flash in her eyes, she held the third Yiniang's hand with a smile, and said only: "Yes, our sisters are all in one place, what's so scary."
San Yiniang choked to wipe the tears on her face, but refused to speak. Si Yiniang looked out the window and murmured, "The wind is blowing."
…
"It's windy." Mu Hongjin looked at the tree outside the window.
It was just a little wind at first, but then it got bigger and bigger, blowing the willow branches outside, as if they were about to be uprooted in the next moment. There was a shallow wave in the pond.
Inside and outside the palace, it was empty, save for a few old people who had been following him. She let everyone go if she could, and followed the people who were evacuated outside the city. One could go one by one, and there was no reason to be buried here in vain.
"What was that voice just now?" she asked the maid beside her.
The maid shook her head.
"Yes," Mu Hongjin sighed, "how would you know."
The loud noise was so thrilling that it was heard inside and outside the city, and it seemed to come from the direction of the canal. The servants who inquired about the information have come twice, and they all said that the Utto soldiers are now fighting on the water with the Jiyang City Army led by Xiao Jue.
The power is uneven, and the strength is also invincible. This battle is really difficult for Xiao Huaijin. Mu Hongjin thought in her heart that she hated her own incompetence. If she also dispatched troops and charged into battle, she would not have to sit in this empty palace, in vain, powerless, and wait for an ending.
When the city fell, she followed a sacrificial burial, and when the city survived, she continued to live, as if that was all she could do now.
The wind blew in from the outside window and slammed the mirror she had placed on the soft seat to the ground. Mu Hongjin was startled and walked over to pick up the mirror.
She had fallen once before, leaving a slight crack on the mirror. This time she fell harder than the last time, and the cracks spread all over the mirror surface. She just reached out and touched it, and the mirror shattered. The broken mirror falls on the soft long blanket, like a gem in the sky, and like a memory scattered in the depths of my heart.
She felt a pain in her heart, and fell down, and for some reason, she burst into tears.
…
Deep in the jungle, the white-robed swordsman was surrounded by dozens and hundreds of Uto people.
The long sword in his hand was dripping with blood, and the white clothes had long been stained red with blood, so he couldn't tell whether it was his own or someone else's.
"Give it to me!" The Uto people around him came in waves, but this person's swordsmanship was extremely good.
But also suffered a lot of injuries.
His arm was slashed by the Uto people's knife, leaving a long scar on his arm, and his leg was bleeding, but his posture was always light, like the clouds and mist on Qiyun Mountain, which was elusive. It is also like a god who has experienced calamities in the nine heavens and the earth, never in a hurry, smiling in response.
He made the surrounding slaughter a bit immortal, such as the heroic boy in the book of the past, the swordsman in the rivers and lakes, with a sword and a piano, the sky is high and the earth is wide.
But there are times when heroes are defeated.
Liu Buwang's eyes have gradually begun to bloom, and his vision has become blurred. The formation of the formation just now has spent a lot of energy, implicated in the old ailments, and now it is just the end of the battle.
But if he can hold on for a moment longer, Jiyang City will be able to be happy for a moment longer.
The wind has gradually picked up, and the smile on his lips is getting brighter and brighter, as if listening to the girl in the red dress and the silver bell many years ago laughing and joking, pretending to be bored, but turning his back and secretly unknowingly. Smile.
A knife slashed to the front door, Liu Buwang jumped to avoid it, while moving, something flew out of his arms, he subconsciously reached out to grab it, and held it in the palm of his hand.
It was a silver bracelet with a circle of small wild daisies engraved on the side of the bracelet. Because of the passage of time, the edges that were not very delicate were also rubbed and moistened, and it was still warm with human body temperature.
Someone once said to him: "This is called a bracelet of joy. Give one to your sweetheart and wear it on your hand, and you will never be separated in your life."
Seventeen-year-old Mu Hongjin begged him: "Liu Shaoxia, send me one!" He replied coldly, "She is not my sweetheart."
But when they were walking back to the mountain with Yushu, at the foot of Qiyun Mountain, when they met the old woman again, they bought the bracelet with money.
Liu Bu Wang didn't understand what he was doing at that time. He tried to convince himself that he was afraid that Mu Hongjin would be bored waiting in the inn alone. When he came back, that guy must be pretentious, and this bracelet should be a gift to stop her. It is a pity that in the next many years, there will be no chance to send it out.
Maybe there was a moment, maybe there were many moments, he really wanted to be with that beautiful and beautiful girl, forever and ever.
"Pfft-"
A long knife stabbed from behind, and the point of the knife penetrated from his front chest, as if to open his heart and teach him to see clearly who his sweetheart was.
The Uto man behind him laughed and said, "This head is mine! No one can rob me of military merit!"
There was a loud roar of laughter all around.
Liu did not forget to fall down.
When he fell down, he was still holding the Yuexin bracelet tightly in his hand.
The wind was like a girl's hand, gently caressing his eyebrows, he lay with his head up, and no longer had the strength to stand up.
In a trance, it seemed that he was back many years ago, when he went down the mountain for the first time.
That year, the young man was riding a sword and riding a horse, and he was full of pride. The senior brother laughed and teased. The woman at the foot of the mountain is a tiger, so don't be confused by the red dust. He pouted and didn't care, as soon as he turned his head, he saw the girl in the red dress with long braids sitting under the tree, with peach blossoms falling like rain.
