The eyes are full of blood red world, the sky, the soil and the warrior's armor are all scarlet colors, despairing emotions hit like a tide, the enemy's hideous face seems to be in front of me, no matter how hard I struggle, I can't get rid of the forest. Knives and spears and arrows like torrential rain. Just when he was most helpless, a ray of sunshine suddenly appeared in the gray and gloomy sky, and through the layers of clouds, it brought warm hope, and then in the sea of blood, the blue figure he knew and admired appeared. . "Young Master!" Chi Ji shouted loudly. Then he was violently pushed awake.
Opening his eyes, he saw Lin Tong's pretty face full of anger. Lin Tong angrily said, "Can you leave your master behind first, this is the fourteenth time you have cried out in a dream. Remember his name. Don't forget that you are in Yanmen, not by your master's side. Even if your master is righteous, he will let you fight to the death here. If you have the energy, think about how to deal with the barbarians. "
Looking at Lin Tong's light and angry expression, Chi Ji only felt a little sweet in his heart, he could hear the slight sourness in Lin Tong's words, even the soldiers of the Daizhou Army who passed by were looking at the two of them. Full of smiles, for five days and five nights in a row, the barbarians attacked almost non-stop. At first, the two fought side by side, and they rescued each other from the enemy many times. Later, Chi Ji showed quite amazing military talent. So he and Lin Tong began to take turns commanding the army to defend against the enemy. For the next three days, the two could only say a few words when they woke each other up, but they were unaware of their loneliness, as if the other party was by their side. generally. In this time and place where life and death were involuntary, both of them deliberately forgot the many barriers between them, except that Lin Tong was always jealous of Chi Ji's extreme admiration for Jiang Zhe.
Chi Ji sat up and listened carefully, but there was no shouting to kill, presumably the barbarian army hadn't attacked the city yet, so he stretched out his arms to wrap around Lin Tong's slender waist, exerting light force, Lin Tong couldn't catch up and was pulled into his arms by him. In the middle, the folks in the northern area are bold, and the surrounding sergeants don't think it's embarrassing, but they all whistle loudly. Lin Tong's face is flushed, and Yizhou hits Chiji's chest, Chiji screams in pain, Lin Tong immediately remembered Chiji the day before yesterday. He was wounded by an arrow on his chest, and his heart softened, Chi Ji took the opportunity to hold Lin Tong tightly in his arms. Lin Tongying Ning sighed, buried her head on the masculine chest, embarrassed beyond words, not like a female general who can command thousands of troops, Chi Ji's heart trembled, and the original teasing turned to tenderness.
At this time, Lin Yuanchong came running from a distance and said loudly: "The county master, Brother Wang, Lord Hou, please come over." Chi Ji and Lin Tong both jumped up in a panic, and Lin Tong had almost no face. With the courage of the elders and comrades around him, he lowered his head and trot all the way, and disappeared without a trace in a short while. Chi Ji was a little hesitant. What kind of person was Lin Yuanting, Hou of Daizhou, who guarded Daizhou for many years, so that the barbarians couldn't make the next move. Although he was old and sickly, he was strong and powerful, not to mention that he was Lin Tong's father, Chi Ji. Ji was uneasy and looked at Lin Yuanchong, but he didn't have the courage to take a step.
Lin Yuanchong smiled and said, "Aiya, why are the brave and skilled warriors so shy? Don't worry, my clan brother is very open-minded and won't care about your molesting Tong'er."
Chi Ji looked at the bloodshed outside the city, and said hesitantly: "This, the county master is going to see Lord Lin now. If the barbarians attack now, I'll stay here." At this time, the powerful giant palm He patted him heavily on the shoulder, and an old voice said in a vigorous voice: "Boy, don't worry, with my old bones here, there is no problem in keeping it for an hour or two." Chi Ji smiled bitterly, Without looking back, I knew that the person who came was the old general Qi from Daizhou. Who would dare to argue with this old general who had been in the army for a lifetime and was covered in scars, but did he really want to see Lin Yuanting? Chi Ji hesitated in his heart.
A cold light flashed in Lin Yuanchong's eyes, and he said coldly, "Why, you don't want to see the Lord Marquis, are you just acting out for the county master?"
Chi Ji shuddered and said in a low voice, "Even if Lord Hou agrees, what can I do? I disobeyed the prince's admonition. Although the prince is kind and let me come to Daizhou, if the prince calls me back to inquire about the crime in the future, I can't resist. Moreover, the barbarian army is large, and the Yanmen is in danger, even if the barbarian army is retreated, what should we do against the Yong army?"
His voice was very low, but Old General Qi and Lin Yuanchong could hear them clearly, and confusion flashed in their eyes, which was a pain in their hearts that they hardly dared to think about. Lin Yuanchong looked at Chiji, remembering that the owner of this young man was one of the culprits who made the situation in Daizhou so rotten, and he wanted to express his anger. Can't tell, Daizhou warriors are people with clear grievances. With a sigh, Lin Yuanchong said, "Let's go, Lord Hou is waiting for you, it's rare for him to wake up today."
A quiet room in Yanmen Pass seems to be isolated from the bloody battlefield. The room is filled with a strong smell of soup and medicine. The room without a trace of luxury is no different from the living room of ordinary civilians in Daizhou. On the large wooden couch, an old man sat up, Under the service of Lin Tong, he was slowly drinking a bowl of bitter soup. Although he was described as withered and full of frosty hair, he could still see the elegant outline of the past, and it could be seen that the old man must have been a handsome and handsome man back then. After entering the room, Chi Ji calmed down instead, stepped forward to bow down and said, "Junior Wang Ji, meet the Marquis."
A fierce light flashed in the old man's eyes, he looked at Chi Ji carefully for a moment, and said, "You are the attendant of Chu Xianghou, Bole's divine doctor Wang Ji, is this name real or fake?"
Chi Ji only felt that the old man's eyes were like a sharp sword, piercing his heart, and he couldn't help but sighed that it was no wonder that this person could guard Daizhou for many years, and he really had the demeanor of a famous general, he respectfully said: "This junior is an orphan. Apart from the surname Wang, there is no name. In the past, my son took the younger generation by his side and gave him the name Chi Ji, and later the younger generation named himself Wang Ji, not a pseudonym."
Lin Yuanting smiled lightly and said, "Tong'er, has your second brother's coffin been shipped back?"
Lin Tong's eyes were red, and he said, "Yes, when the barbarian army retreats, he will ask his father to preside over and send the second brother's spiritual position to the ancestral hall."
Lin Yuanting patted Lin Tong on the shoulder lovingly, and said to Chi Ji: "My nephew is laughing, Tong'er is too soft-hearted, in fact, why is he sad? For more than a hundred years, the Lin family in Daizhou has died in the battlefield. Of the five brothers in my generation, I was the only one who survived. Several brothers died on the battlefield, and none of them died well. Now it's their turn. Oh, Cheng Er has gone, Bi Er and Cheng Shan Chengyuan and Chengyuan were all blocked in Jinyang. Once the Yong army was encircled, it would be a life of nine deaths. Chengyi had a rough temperament and Tonger was young and knowledgeable. It is not surprising that the Lin family disappeared this time. My Lin family has rules, only the clansmen who died in battle. Only a few people are eligible to enter the ancestral hall to enjoy the enshrinement of later generations. For more than a hundred years, only a few people could not enter. Originally, the old man thought that the frontier was peaceful for a few years, and he was probably going to die in a sick bed, so he had no chance to enter the ancestral hall. When the opportunity came, Tong Er decided to take a risk for his father and fight against the main force of the barbarian army. Although the Yanmen defenders would probably be wiped out in this way, the barbarians were also severely damaged, so there was a way to expel them from Daizhou. "
Lin Tong cried out in pain, "Wow", and burst into tears in her father's arms. Lin Yuanting was explaining the funeral. How could she not understand that Chiji stepped forward to comfort him, but Lin Tong avoided him. Chi Ji felt a pain in his heart, and said loudly: "Master Hou, county master, if you have any heavy responsibilities, please leave it to Chi Ji to do it." There was only one thought in his heart, that is, before Lin Tong died, Lin Yuanting knew it in his heart and looked at Chi Ji. Ji's eyes were a little more approving, and he said, "My nephew's personality and talent are all matched with Tong'er, but it's a pity that since Tong'er is a descendant of the Lin family, she has no reason to give up on behalf of the state's military and civilians to escape, Tong'er, can you? Do you blame the father?"
Lin Tong wiped away his tears and said, "Dad why did you say this? If you can die in battle, your daughter can also enter the ancestral hall. What an honor this is, how could a daughter blame her father, please tell me, what should we do?"
Lin Yuanting smiled happily, and said: "Okay, my Lin family really doesn't have people who are greedy for life and fear of death, but you shouldn't give up your life easily. You may save your life after this battle, so don't sacrifice your life lightly, Tong'er, I ordered yesterday. Your eldest brother brought down the watch to see Emperor Yong."
Lin Tong was shocked and said, "Father, what did you say, please come down, why is this, where did you put your mother, sister, and third and fourth brothers?"
Lin Yuanting raised his hand to stop Lin Tong from speaking, and said lightly: "The Lin family was born for Daizhou, not for the existence of the Lin family. I have already thought very clearly that Emperor Yong's army blocked the passage between Daizhou and Jinyang, and replaced Daizhou for the existence of the Lin family. The state has become a lonely army and can only face the barbarian army alone. Although I can devise a plan this time to destroy the main force of the barbarian army, the fragmented barbarian army will definitely become more rampant and vicious, and the main force of Daizhou will be blocked in Jinyang. With the most violent intrusion in more than ten years, Daizhou is powerless, and the only way is to surrender to Dayong. Emperor Yong is a wise and wise master, how can he not know the importance of Daizhou, the reason why he did not invade Daizhou It's just hindering our Lin family. Now I have your eldest brother go to ask for surrender, and spend the remaining troops on the Yanmenguan battlefield. Emperor Yong has no scruples, and will inevitably come to the rescue in the starry night, and the hundreds of thousands of people in Daizhou will be Safe from barbarians."
Lin Tong burst into tears. She understood that her father wanted the sacrifice of the Lin family in exchange for the survival of the state. She took out the saber from her waist and slashed it on her left arm. With the blood flowing, Lin Tong said solemnly, "My daughter understands. According to my father, the Lin family can only sacrifice for Daizhou, and if their daughter is lucky enough to survive, they will also ask Emperor Yong to surrender, and they will never let the soldiers and civilians of Daizhou become enemies for my Lin family's private affairs and the Dayong Cavalry."
Chi Ji was heartbroken when he heard this. The two fathers and daughters said that he couldn't argue at all. When he left the son, the son had hinted that Daizhou defeated the barbarians and the Lin family could not escape the end, so I hope he Even if he can get away, he can even take Lin Tong away. It is still possible to keep one person. That is what the young master has never said, but at this moment, he understands that the woman he loves is really a heroine, and she will definitely not give birth to her. He threw himself to his knees on the ground and said, "Master Hou, the younger generation has a unique love for the county master. I hope that the master will betrothed the county master to Chi Ji, and Chi Ji is willing to live and die with the county master."
A look of relief flashed in Lin Yuanting's eyes, but he shook his head and said, "My dear nephew, recently, you helped me guard the Yanmen gate on behalf of the military and civilians of the state. It was already a big taboo for you. Hou Shengjuan Zhenglong, you have a bright future, nephew, why should you give up everything for your little girl?"
Chi Ji said nothing, took the bamboo flute from his waist, and began to play it. The flute was loud and agitated. Although Lin Yuanting was a general, he married a princess wife who was once known as a talented girl. , sang with his palms: "The general's reputation is broken in a hundred battles. Xiang Heliang and back thousands of miles, the old people are forever. Yishui Xiaoxiao is cold in the west, and the crowd is full of clothes like snow. No cry, tears and blood. Who is with me, drunk with the bright moon?" The lyrics and music were so brave that the soldiers and soldiers who guarded the outside also listened intently, and their hearts were full of pride in dying. Lin Yuanting sighed and said, "I never imagined that you could also understand the pride of life and death. Well, well, you are indeed worthy of Tong'er." At this time, the flute sound changed, but it was full of lingering sadness with no hesitation. Lin Tong's heart trembled, and he was addicted to the tune played by his lover's hard work. He didn't even know when the tune stopped. He only heard Chi Ji say word by word: "I don't regret giving up my life. I."
Lin Yuanting looked at Lin Tong, and said lightly, "What do you think of Tong'er?"
Lin Tong's eyes were full of tears, and her face was blushing with sadness. She knew that she was going to risk her own life and she would die. How could she refuse the love that her lover was willing to accompany her to death. She turned her face to the side and said, "It's all up to my father."
Lin Yuanting raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, since the two of you are in love with each other, this marquis will fulfill you, Wang Ji, there is no need to choose a good day for my daughter to marry. In front of the thousands of warriors of the Daizhou army, how about you worship the heaven and earth and become husband and wife?"
Chiji was overjoyed, and kowtowed, "Wang Ji kowtows to his father-in-law, and everything depends on his father-in-law."
Under Yanmen Pass, the failure of the siege a few days ago made the hearts of all barbarians furious. Wanyan Najin saw that the strength of the guards at Yanmen Pass was getting weaker and weaker, so he made up his mind that he would succeed this time. After taking the oath, the barbarian coalition once again gathered under Zhongguan City. When Wanyan Najin and the chiefs of other ministries were pointing out Yanmen Pass to discuss how to attack, they heard a sudden drumbeat and loud music. , Daizhou soldiers with distinctive clothes and armor were separated on both sides, all of them were beaming, and a team of newcomers in happy clothes were worshipping and marrying in front of a stern-looking old man. After the three bows, there were cheers and cheers all over the place, and the barbarians listened carefully, but those people shouted loudly: "The county master and the county horse have been together for a hundred years, and they will grow old together with white heads."
Wanyan Najin was furious, pointed his horsewhip, and said, "These people dare to despise our army, the two armies actually adorned the heaven and earth with lanterns before the battle, and immediately began to attack the city. This king wants them to be happy and mourning. Right above, how many of our fathers and brothers have died in the hands of this man over the years, and whoever can take his head will be the number one warrior in the grasslands, with a bounty of a thousand taels and a beautiful woman."
At this time, someone said loudly: "King Khan, who doesn't know that the Lin family has a pair of sisters, how about this, whoever kills Lin Yuanting will reward him with the bride in the city." Wanyan Najin looked up, but It was Mo Ergan, the chief of the White Wolf Division, who was shouting there. He smiled slightly and said loudly: "Pass the order of this king, who can kill Lin Yuanting, the princess of Hongxia is his concubine, but you must capture this newlywed alive. Yan'er's county master is fine." Another barbarian general laughed and said, "Newly married Yan'er, I like to rob other people's brides, Lin Yuanting, wash your neck quickly and wait for Laozi to chop."
The Daizhou army in the city listened to the foul language below, all of them were sinking like water, but they were silent. The shame can only be washed away with blood. Tie Qing, but only took off the groom's robe, revealing a bright suit of armor, while Lin Tong glanced down coldly, with a slap in the face, the red silk wedding dress turned into a butterfly and shattered, revealing a fiery red soft armor, The two stood by Lin Yuanting's side, like a pair of golden boys and girls, who fell into the world by mistake.
Lin Yuanting sat on the chair, his strength was not enough to support his legs for a long time, he said loudly: "Wanyan Najin, come on, your father and uncle died at Yanmen Pass, see if you have this You have the ability to attack, but your dignified King Khan must not be in the mood to fight the enemy as before.
The strong sarcasm changed Wanyan Najin's complexion. The barbarian originally admired martial arts, and remembering that Wanyan Najin had never been in battle in person these days, he couldn't help but say something secretly. Wanyan Najin was a very conceited person, and said fiercely: "Lin Yuanting, wait, this king will take your head personally and take your precious daughter back as a slave."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the city, and the Daizhou army under the city couldn't help but yell, Wanyan Na waved his golden hand, and the horn sounded, and the barbarian army started the most violent battle. To the delight of Wanyan Najin and the others, the strength of the Daizhou Army has weakened a lot this time. It must have been due to the many days of hard fighting that consumed them too much, but they still resisted stubbornly. Chop, if the blade is blunt, use fists and teeth, and even some sergeants who are no longer able to hold the enemy who have attacked the city head and roll down the gate. Precarious, but unable to attack. In the evening of this day, Wanyan Najin finally couldn't hold it in any longer, and sent out the most elite army of the Gele Department, the Snow Wolf Army, which was specially reserved. All of them are warriors chosen from thousands of miles on the grassland, and the Gele Department relies on the talent of the Snow Wolf Army to overcome the heroes and support Wanyan Najin to ascend to the throne of Khan King. With an order, the Snow Wolf Army climbed up the cloud ladder. Everyone's movements were as fast as lightning. The defenders at the top of the city were exhausted. Almost instantly, the top of the Yanmen Pass was occupied by the Snow Wolf Army. Wanyan Najin was overjoyed, and the horn of the attack was blown, and the barbarian army showed off their might. As long as the Snow Wolf Army opened the door from the inside, they would swarm in, wash the Yanmen Pass with blood, and then set foot on the fertile soil of the Central Plains to kill and plunder.
The Snow Wolf Army that rushed to the top of the city had been recharged for many days. How could the exhausted army on the city be their opponent? It was almost a blink of an eye. Lin Yuanting rushed over, captured the thief first, King Qin, and beheading Lin Yuanting was Wanyan's order, and they naturally wanted to compete for this credit.
Lin Yuanting's pale face showed a hint of blush, and with a wave of his hand, the ambush soldiers who had been hiding in the dark for a day rushed out, cutting off the retreat of the Snow Wolf Army. The leader was Lin Yuanchong, who was in the entire Yanmen Pass. The most elite warriors are formed. No matter how hard they fight this day, they can only hide in the dark and can't help. Seeing the tragic death of their relatives, they have already given birth to their hearts of swearing and hating, just as they rushed out, A sergeant ignited the black powder prepared in advance. After the violent tremor and roar, all the roads up and down Yanmenguan were blocked. This is the dead end prepared by Lin Yuanting, and the force that the Gele Department relies on to deter all the departments must be eradicated. , so that the barbarians will be divided again. At the same time, the city gate of Yanmen Pass opened slowly, revealing its undefended weakness.
Facing the feast in front of them, the chiefs of the barbarians were overjoyed, only that the Snow Wolf Army had successfully captured the gate, and even Wanyan Najin ignored the abnormality on the top of the city, and rushed into Yanmen Pass first, facing the gate of the city. The Daizhou army, who had been driven to a desperate situation by the barbarian army in the bloody battle to the death, didn't even look at it, he waved his knife and wanted to kill the city head, but when he saw the kick road blocked by gravel, Wanyan Najin felt a chill in his heart, but he didn't care. Thinking about why the Daizhou army separated Chengtou and Guanxia, he shouted loudly, "Retreat, retreat." But his voice was drowned in the excited shouts of the barbarian army, and Wanyan Najin could no longer command like an arm. The army, dazed by the victory, was surrounded by the army behind and rushed forward for nearly a few hundred meters. Wanyan Najin saw an iron cavalry fully prepared and ready to go. He and Lin Tong were accompanied by arrows like swift rain. The barbarian army and the Daizhou army fought many times. Every time they fell into the trap of the Daizhou army, they would suffer heavy losses. It was Lin Yuanting, who was the most feared in their hearts, and couldn't help but panic a little. The barbarian army in front desperately retreated, trying to return to the plain where they had the upper hand, while the barbarian army in the back didn't know the changes ahead and still rushed forward.
Just when the barbarian army was in chaos, Wanyan Najin, who was retreating under the protection of his personal guard, heard the sound of a crossbow machine. A series of high-pitched whistles suddenly sounded from above, and the warhorse under his seat suddenly raised its hoofs and stood up. Wanyan Najin was caught off guard, his body was exposed within the attack range of the crossbow arrow, and he heard the severe pain. The sound of crossbow arrows piercing through his armor, the exclamations of his cronies came from his ears, and the strong crossbow shooting at close range was a post by the white-haired Bailing. I just felt that the past was coming one after another in my mind, Wanyan Najin shouted unwillingly: "The sky has no eyes!" And then this has just ascended to the most respected throne of the barbarians, full of ambition, eager to recreate the former Khan Court The glorious young king of Khan fell into the dust like this.
Losing their leader, the originally panicked barbarians were infuriated. They naturally formed a small group of cavalry and started a counterattack against the Daizhou army. There was no need to force cooperation, and the barbarians were more likely to exert their combat power. , whether it is the Daizhou people or the barbarians, they all forget everything and fight to the death. The bow and arrow had been lost for a long time, and the spear in Chi Ji's hand was like a dragon, protecting Lin Tong's flank. Lin Tong was born in a family of military commanders. In terms of marksmanship, it was even better than Chiji. The silver spear was like snow, the shadow was like a pear flower, and the blood and flesh splashed even more.
It's just that the Daizhou army is too weak. Although they fought hard and earned several times the lives of the barbarians, more and more barbarian troops rushed into the pass, but the Daizhou army had no reinforcements, and the battle situation was more and more in favor of the barbarian army. Seeing this situation, Lin Tong reluctantly issued an order to withdraw the army. This is what Lin Yuanting meant. At this time, the remaining Daizhou army can only be reduced to the ghosts of the enemy's iron cavalry. Since the combat purpose has been achieved, it is better to let them If you die here, you might as well leave more seeds for the Daizhou Army.
Hearing the horn of retreat, all the Daizhou Army warriors almost retreated with tears in their eyes. They were unable to care about the battle situation on the blockade city, or even their young commander. Chi Ji and Lin Tong took the dead soldiers of the Lin family with them. After the break, they used their blood and lives to ensure that the road for the retreat of the soldiers of the Daizhou army was unimpeded. Running away, many soldiers who were seriously injured and did not want to drag their comrades down simply swung their swords to suicide, and some soldiers whose war horses were injured or could not run away on horseback broke off together with Lin Tong. The remnants have already broken through, and only Lin Tong and Chi Ji are still unable to leave with more than 100 people. It is not that the two of them deliberately die. Although such thoughts have long been buried in their hearts, they are reluctant to let so many generations of states. The warriors are buried with them, but the barbarians have completely surrounded them, and there is no possibility of breaking through.
Lin Tong didn't have the slightest regret or despair in her heart. As a member of the Lin family, even a woman had the consciousness to sacrifice herself in the battle. The only concern in her heart was her mother in Dai County. For the princess of the Northern Han Dynasty, who is soft and rigid, it may be an unacceptable decision. The sound of Chi Ji's heavy breathing came from his ears, and Lin Tong turned his face to the side, only to see that the originally handsome and easy-going young man was now covered in blood and scarred, and his heart was filled with unstoppable gratitude and sweetness. This young man who abandoned the road to Qingyun and chose to go to Huangquan with him is already his husband. Although it has only been a short day, Lin Tong feels that the two have been married for many years, and there is no longer each other. As if he had a consonance in his heart, Chi Ji also turned his head to look at Lin Tong, his eyes were facing each other, and they were all deeply affectionate. Then the two of them fired their guns almost at the same time, stabbing the enemy who attacked their lover. The surrounding barbarian army can't see the edge, just like the turbulent ocean waves, which can drown the only remaining Daizhou army in a blink of an eye. But the two of them didn't seem to see each other. At this moment, Lin Tong's warhorse finally fell to the ground, several arrows and many wounds. Pulling Lin Tong, Lin Tong took advantage of the situation to fly up and landed in front of Chi Ji as light as a swallow, looking back and smiling. Chi Ji's left hand tightly held Lin Tong's left hand, wrapped around her waist, and smiled back. The two of them had absolutely no plans to capture the ownerless war horse. What would they do if they lived a little longer, it would be better to be together in life and death.
Chi Ji only felt that he had never felt as ethereal as this moment, embracing his beloved on the battlefield. Even the fierce face of the approaching barbarian could not make a ripple in his heart, clenching the silver spear, he waited. The last moment is coming. In a trance, he suddenly felt a violent vibration from the ground. It was a vibration that can only be produced by a strictly trained cavalry galloping at full speed. Could it be that I was confused? Chi Ji smiled bitterly, but he soon saw the death of the Lin family beside him. Similar confusion appeared in the eyes of the soldiers and the barbarians who were attacking outside, and those barbarians even slowed down their attacks. Before he could react, the familiar horn sound and the increasingly louder roar sounded in his ears, Chi Ji burst into tears, choked up, he couldn't even answer Lin Tong's eyes full of questions, he just hugged Lin Tong tightly His slender waist, as if he would lose the love in his heart as soon as he let go.
