The night is vast and distant.
Under the vast darkness of the night, the huge grinding wheel that gathered as many as 100,000 people was disintegrating and shattering. In the large and small, speckled firelight, the disorderly conflict of the crowd was fierce and huge.
At the time of Hai, the biggest wave of chaos was dispersing in the camp of Xixia's main formation. People and war horses ran chaotically, and the flames ignited the tent. The front row of the Proton Army has sunk, and the rear row involuntarily took two steps back, and the avalanche-like collapse appeared when people were still confused. A black flag team rushing into the strong crossbow position caused a chain reaction, and the crossbow bolts flew in the chaotic firelight. The atmosphere of screaming, running, depression and fear tightly bound everything. Luo Ye, Mao Yishan, Hou Wu and others fought hard. Not many people remembered anything specific, and they pushed and killed in the depths of the fire. , first one step, then two steps...
The armored horses were driven into the camp. Some of the horses had already fallen. Qin Shaoqian took off his helmet, lifted the armor, and wielded a long sword. His vision was also trembling slightly. Ahead, Black Flag soldiers pounced on the enemy formation.
The cavalry team of more than 200 people responsible for releasing the hot air balloon passed through the heavy rout and came interspersed.
The pressure coming from the darkness, the pressure coming from the chaos inside, this afternoon, the 70,000 people on the outside still haven't blocked the opponent's troops, and the pressure brought by the huge rout is breaking out. The Black Flag Army has more than one attack point, but at each point, those soldiers with blood-stained eyes, fierce and crazy, still burst out with huge lethality. At this point, the horses are no longer needed, and the way back is no longer available. It is necessary, and the future seems to have no need to think about it...
In the darkness of the night, the party reached its climax, and then rushed out in several directions.
From order to disorder, from compression to expansion, the people who have been scattered are first piece by piece, and gradually become a group, a group. At the end, it was scattered and scattered, and the little firelight began to gradually sparse. The huge Dong Zhiyuan, the huge crowd, the Hai Shi will be out of date. The wind blew across the field.
…
There was a wolf howling in the field.
The spread of the bloody smell attracted the original predators. At the edge, they found the corpses, gathered and devoured them. Occasionally, there are voices in the distance, and torches are lit. Sometimes, there are also wolves that follow the bloody aura of people.
Within a radius of more than ten miles, fights that belonged to the laws of nature would occasionally occur, large groups or small groups of defeated soldiers were still passing by, and the sounds in the surrounding darkness would turn them into startled birds.
After the rout of the periphery, it was the breakthrough of the central formation, and then the collapse of the main formation. The outcome of the battle is often confusing. The concept of an army of less than 10,000 rushing towards 100,000 can only be roughly thought, but only when the front line is fighting, the pressure and fear at the moment of rushing are truly profound and real. After the chaotic news of this array, I walked faster and did not dare to look back.
Luo Ye and the two companions around him supported each other and were walking on the dim field. On the right was a brother under his command called Li Zuosi. On the left is Mao Yishan, a fellow traveler who met on the way. This person is honest and honest, stupid, but he is a good player on the battlefield.
When the Xixia army was defeated, they chased and killed all the way. Some people ran out of energy and stayed on the road, but a few people chased them all the way in different directions and they were eventually thrown away. When he realized that there was no one around, Luo Ye stood for a while, and finally started to walk back, three blood people. They supported each other without much conversation. Luo Ye muttered: "Are you okay, are you okay? You can't stop, don't stop, you have to hold on at this time..."
He kept saying this in a low voice. Mao Yishan occasionally touched his body: "I don't feel it anymore, but it's okay, it's okay..."
"Don't stop, stay awake..."
"Did we… win?"
"I don't know, I don't know..." Luo Ye replied subconsciously.
They fought all the way through the Xixia camp, chasing after large groups of defeated soldiers, but they were really unclear about the outcome of the entire battlefield.
On the road, I found a torch that was about to go out, and I blew it and walked forward. There was a bloody smell on the road, and there were corpses on the ground. They put the torch over to look at it. After a while, they found two wounded companions. They were lying on the ground back to back, as if they were dead, but Luo Ye detected that they were still angry. , slapped each of them a slap in the face, and then took off a small skin on his body.
"Can't sleep, can't sleep, drink water, come drink water, take a sip..."
"You are injured, you will die if you sleep, come on, hold on, hold on..."
Then five people walked forward with support, and after walking for a while, there was a rustling sound on the opposite side, four figures stopped, and then a voice came: "Who?"
“Huaxia…”
"21212, Mao..." Mao Yishan, who spoke, reported the queue. He was the second regiment, first battalion, second company, first row, second shift, and it was quite easy to remember. Before the words were finished, the opposite had already seen a few people in the dim light, and a voice sounded: "Yishan?"
"Ah? Platoon, platoon leader? Brother Hou?"
The four people also came over with support, Hou Wu and Qu Qing were among them. When the nine people converged, Qu Qing was seriously injured and almost fainted. Luo Ye also knew them and shook his head: "Let's not go now, let's not go now, let's... rest for a while... "
The wind whimpered in the middle of the night. On the wasteland, there was a burst of blood. A few people brought some dry grass and firewood. They also took off two pieces of clothes from the dead Xixia soldiers who could be found not far away, and raised a bonfire. He boiled water, bandaged Qu Qing with the wound medicine he was carrying, and then bandaged the others with difficulty one after another.
At this time, the nine people are all insisting on doing this, while slowly wounding the medicine and bandaging, and whispering about the battle situation.
"Have you won?"
"Who are you chasing?"
"King of Xixia? Are you chasing Li Ganshun? I seem to be..."
"I don't know if it's true or not. It's a pity that the head was not cut off..."
Even at this moment, Luo Ye was still thinking about Li Ganshun in his heart, shaking his head with regret. Hou Wu nodded: "Yeah, I don't know who killed it. I think it was a victory when I chased it out. Who killed the King of Xixia? Otherwise, why would he run away..."
The bonfire was burning, and these words were broken and broken, and suddenly, a voice came from not far away. It was the sound of footsteps and the light of torches, and the crowd came from the mound behind, a moment later. Both saw each other.
It wasn't the Black Flag Army. It was Xixia's army in the light of the torches. Although they were a little embarrassed in the field of vision, there were not many scars on these people's bodies, and they were never bloodied. There are twenty or thirty people. As soon as the two sides saw each other, Du Fang stopped there. A dozen people in front were holding spears, and some people pulled out their waist knives.
Here, no one spoke. Mao Yishan, who was covered in blood, stood still for a moment. He grabbed the long knife in the ground and stood up.
The wind blew across the ground, and the flames burned, lengthening the silent and terrifying figure. Then came Luo Ye, who stood up with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. Then, the people by the fire slowly got up one after another, nine figures stood there, and Luo Ye raised his knife.
"I have to explain it here." Luo Ye whispered, "It's a pity that Li Ganshun was not killed. The first Xixia officer after leaving the mountain was robbed by you. It's boring..."
"Ah..." Hou Wu looked forward. Absentmindedly, "Isn't there another one here? How about giving it to you?"
"Oh, I... uh..." He was about to say something when he was stunned. On the other side of the field of vision, twenty or thirty people slowly retreated, and then ran away.
"… "
There was a long silence around the campfire.
"Ha ha… "
"Ha ha… "
When the voice sounded, it was all weak laughter: "Scared me to death..."
"You said, we won't win, right?"
"Looks like ah..."
"Hahahaha bastard!"
In the flickering firelight, nine figures stood there. The laughter spread far and wide in this field...
There are similar figures walking all over the field, and the flames are gradually extinguishing in the place that used to be the main formation of the King of Xixia. A large amount of supplies and heavy vehicles were left behind, and the exhausted soldiers were still moving. They helped each other, helped each other, bandaged the wounds, drank some water or broth, and those with strength were released. They began to look around for the wounded and lost soldiers. The soldiers who were found and returned with each other's arms were given a certain amount of bandage and treatment. They leaned against each other and leaned on the supplies by the fire. Some people talked from time to time, so that people would not stop when they were the most tired. As for falling asleep.
After the time passed, and then the ugly time, some people came back one after another, and some people who rested for a while took torches and rode out on still moving and captured war horses. Mao Yishan and others came back here around the time of their ugliness. Qu Qing was seriously injured and was sent to the tent for treatment. Qin Shaoqian dragged his tired body to patrol the camp.
When they rested again, Luo Ye and Hou Wu and other talents faced each other and said, "We won?"
At dawn, people were still sleeping in the silent camp. But people woke up one after another. When they woke up their companions, there were still some companions who were in a deep sleep last night and left forever. Under the leadership of the officers, these people were sent out one after another. During the whole day, from the way the whole battle was advancing, they searched for the corpses of the dead that were left behind, or the wounded who were still surviving. trace.
…
On the first day of the seventh lunar month in the second year of Jingping, at dusk, an army of more than 3,000 people was lined up on Dong Zhiyuan.
The tall one-eyed general walked forward, and in the sky on one side, the clouds burned like flames, spreading out in the vast sky. The blood-stained black flag fluttered in the wind.
He said something about it and said something more. In the fiery sunset, accompanying those dead companions, the soldiers in the queue are solemn and firm, they have experienced unimaginable tempering, at this time, everyone has injuries on their bodies. , they don't even have much sense of reality, only the dead companions are more and more real.
No one can fail to pay the price for their living space, they pay the price, and many even pay for the existence itself.
Compared to the 100,000-strong army that Li Ganshun had pressed down before, with the overwhelming banners and flags, the army in front of him was pitifully small. But also at this moment, even if they were standing on the battlefield full of pain, their formation seemed to have a soaring essence and smoke, stirring the sky.
The army formation on Dong Zhiyuan suddenly let out a roar, the roar was like thunder, one after another, Canggu's bugle sounded on the battlefield, and spread far and wide along the evening wind.
This is a memorial service.
On this day in the field, they had not yet thought of celebrating. For the departure of the warriors, they opened the way with shouts and trumpets.
Countless things are still waiting for them in the back. But the most important thing at this time, they want to rest...
****************
In all parts of the northwest, it was still in the sweltering heat known as Autumn Falafel. Thousands of family troops led by Zhong Lie were chased by more than 10,000 Xixia troops and were moving southward. He knew something about Dong Zhiyuan's advance to the Western Xia army. The army that suddenly rushed out from the mountain suddenly knocked out the Iron Harrier with the advantage of firearms. Facing the army of 100,000 people, they may have to retreat, but at this time, they have finally given themselves a chance to breathe. In any case, they should also threaten Li Ganshun's retreat, Yuan, Qing and other places, and give them some help.
This monarch-killing army is quite powerful. If they can be brought back under their command, maybe the situation in the northwest will turn for the better, but they are rebellious and need to be used with caution. But it doesn't matter, even if we talk about cooperation and conspiracy first, once Xixia can be driven away and grow his family in the northwest, they still occupy the righteousness and orthodoxy, and they should be able to control them.
In the northeast, after receiving the news of the demise of the Iron Harrier, the Zhe family army has already rushed out of the nest and headed south. Zhe Keqiu, the leader of the army, sighed that it is indeed the most terrifying person who is in a hurry. He knew before that the food shortage situation in the Xiaocang River was ready to pick Qingjian and other places as the fruit of victory. He was really afraid that the Xixia army would come over, but since the iron hawk has been destroyed, the Zhe family army can fight against Li Ganshun in the ring. As for the Black Flag Army, since they had taken down Yanzhou, they might as well continue to attract Li Ganshun's attention, but they had to find a way to figure out their trump card for destroying the Iron Harrier.
The monarch can't be used, and he doesn't dare to use it either. But in this world, ruthless people have their own place. Whether they can survive under Li Ganshun's wrath, he doesn't care.
Xiao Canghe, the debate between the young and the old continues every day, but in the past two days, the two of them have been a little absent-minded. Whenever such a state, Ning Yi's words become more and more reckless.
"... Today, Xiao Canghe's training methods are limited, and our location is also a bit special. But if Zuo Gong said, if you really fight with Confucianism and the world, you will see blood with a knife, and the needle will be pointed at Maimang. There are ways to do it. , if the whole world really comes down and you want to kill me first at all costs, then why should I care... For example, I can first equalize land rights, so that the cultivators have their own fields, and then I... "
"... The core of what I want to fight is the law of reason! Only the order of the three words of reason and reason is the biggest dross of Confucianism... That's right, you're right, but if the world changes again, the word for reason must come first... Uh, what's the use of you scold me, let's be reasonable..."
The old man blew his beard again and stared away.
Walking into the yard, the sunset was on fire. Su Tan'er was teaching Ning Xi how to read and write in the yard. When she saw Ning Yi come out, she smiled: "Xiang Gong, you have won the fight again." But seeing Ning Yi looking into the distance, he was still a little lost. After a while, he reacted and thought about it, but he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It doesn't matter, some things are said to be nonsense now, and they shouldn't be said."
He looked in the direction of the sun, Su Tan'er knew what he was worried about and would not bother him anymore. After a while, Ning Yi took a breath and sighed again, shaking his head as if mocking his incompetence. Thinking about things, go back to the room.
The cavalry who sent the message was already on the road hundreds of miles away.
In Qingmu Village, a chilling and dull atmosphere enveloped everything.
Thousands of miles to the southeast, the team of King Kang's Mansion went north to Yingtian. In this silent world, the celebration of the new emperor's enthronement is brewing.
Thunder will sweep in.
