The world is for the public GL

From Acheng, there is a high mountain in the distance, and the halfway up the mountain is covered with snow all the year round, so it is named Tai'a. .

After passing the Taiadi Valley, and climbing north for a few miles, you will find the Yajing Line. Standing on the Yajing Line, you can see a shadow in the distance, which is the forest tomb of the ancestors.

Although the tomb of the ancestors' forest is located near the north, it still has four distinct seasons due to the fertile valley.

It is winter when the north wind is strong, and the new snow that just fell two days ago has not yet hardened, and the horses walked through it, leaving deep and shallow marks of trampling.

The enemy area is reconnaissance and patrolling, with concealment as the best policy, but there are a few army horses walking around randomly in the forest.

Zhou Zai's bad premonition increased again.

The people brought here at the beginning were divided into five groups, enclosing them, one probing forward, two supporting them, and three forming a fan-shaped encirclement, going deep into the forest at intervals.

As the head of the reconnaissance patrol, Zhou Zai was in the middle of the entire team, and he was accompanied by five people who were the sergeants in charge of sending messages from five teams.

It is now the sixth day, and the five teams brought out have lost contact no matter whether they were ordered to retreat or go forward for patrolling.

Finally saw some movement from afar, but hurried over but only saw the horses, not the patrolmen.

"Don't be too scattered, pay attention to the surrounding environment."

Zhou Zai got off his horse, stepped on it, and found that besides the snow, there were many withered vines.

It is precisely because of the many dry vines and vines in the forest that it is very inconvenient for horses to walk in it, and most of the time they have to dismount and walk.

Zhou Zai guessed that the reason why these empty horses stayed here alone was because the patrol soldiers left behind when they heard the movement nearby to investigate the situation together.

However they did not come back.

There are three horses in total. Zhou Zai has ordered that nine people form a group, no matter what happens, they will advance and retreat together, and return to the team in time to report the situation.

There are only three horses left, which means that other people should also have encountered accidents.

The Xianjun Tomb is adjacent to the Ice and Snow Ghost Field, the deeper you go in the forest, the eerie wind sounds on the Ghost Field are close to your ears, and the horses are also making noise.

There are a lot of ominous rumors here, and Chi Yu's ability to station troops here shows that he has extraordinary courage. .

"General, no one." Although the five sergeants who followed him were still calm this time, their voices were much lower.

After six consecutive days of depressing marching, the surrounding squads lost contact one by one for no reason, and even the sergeant who returned to report his safety did not come back.

Zhou Zai was also a little frightened. Fifty people disappeared one by one inexplicably in his hands. He was afraid that this time his sacrifice would be in vain again.

These people all came out with him. At the beginning, they agreed that they only wanted to return with one heart, but now there is no sign of them.

Two days ago, Zhou Zai wanted to retreat, but the other teams couldn't get in touch. They were all only a few miles away, and there was no sound, even the screaming disappeared.

The long-term bloody battle made him smell the danger of death, which was just around.

They were being watched.

Now the remaining six people are in the middle of the team themselves, and the other five teams have been eliminated, and the spearhead must be pointed at them next.

Zhou Zai ordered the remaining people to form a six-sided encirclement, with each person facing one direction.

Slowly move in the direction of loose trees outside.

All five horses stopped.

A vine with dark brown longitudinal leaves stopped them in front of them. The vine grew between the trunks and was tightly knotted up and down.

After confirming that there is no danger around, the leading sergeant swiped his knife to cut open the obstacles in front of him.

Immediately, a bad smell spread, and other soldiers also drew their knives. Zhou Zai looked at the vines in front of him and reached out to draw the knives on his waist.

Judging from the strength with which a few people swung their knives just now, this vine was easy to cut off.

It just smells a little...

The ominous premonition in his mind immediately made him think that everything was frozen and withered, why this kind of ordinary vine not only didn't wither, there wasn't even a trace of snow on it.

There was also this bad smell, and he immediately yelled: "Stop, stop, back up quickly."

Zhou Zai pressed the saber back to his waist, reined in his horse and retreated, and at the same time pulled the sergeant who was about to swing the saber behind him.

Several other people had already slashed at the vines, and there was a strange smell in their noses, and some blue-black liquid splashed from the brown vines.

Hearing Zhou Zai's voice, the four sergeants backed up together, but they fell into a coma after just two steps, and fell off their horses one by one.

The sergeant who was caught off the horse by Zhou Zai saw several other people started talking and laughing as they walked away, not knowing what to do for a while: "General... General, what should I do?"

"Tie it up." It was clear that he was poisoned, Zhou Zai got off his horse, grabbed one of them who was drooling and called his wife, and slapped him twice, but the other party was still insane.

I can only tie it up quickly, and strive to get out of this forest as soon as possible, and go back to the customs first.

The sergeant next to him was in a hurry and managed to tie one of them up. Suddenly he stood up and took a few steps back, and drew out his knife: "The general is here."

Zhou Zai also let go of the sergeant who was still waiting to be tied up with a smile, and drew the sword between his faces.

The snow that just stopped yesterday left a layer of fresh snow on the ground that hadn't frozen yet, and it creaked when stepped on.

This kind of sound was not made by them, but came from the surrounding area.

There were voices from the front and left side, but no sound from the right back. Zhou Zai's eyes were round and bulging.

General Zhou is like a lion when he is angry. This is a saying passed down from the army to the people.

"You go out from the right back road on horseback, and tell General Kuang Xun the situation here. No one will enter the forest during the next patrol, and try to move as far as possible from the edge of the forest to a high place in the dark, and set up a sentry.

It is not advisable to visit the ancestors' graves in winter.

This is the only conclusion he came to with fifty people out, and this may be his last words.

A sergeant is also a veteran after all, whoever abandons his general and flees, he won't leave.

Zhou Zai shouted: "This is a military order."

He has already lost 49 subordinates, and one of them has to live to send a letter back.

Then the sergeant gritted his teeth and got on his horse, and rode towards the dense forest to the right.

He knew that the general could have retreated with him, but that meant abandoning the four sergeants on the ground, and it also meant that the two were more likely to be captured together.

Zhou Zai wanted to stay and buy him more time.

Although this place is still in the dense forest, judging from the location, it is not too far from the gatekeeper's office. As long as we go around, there will be many more chances of survival.

Finally seeing you all.

In front of him was a person wearing a role steel armor with a cloth tied to the tip of his nose to hide his smell.

Dongchi is good at iron smelting, his armor is always silver like new, and his weapons are sharp and pure.

"General Zhou Zai, old friend." Because his nose was wrapped, he spoke with a strong voice.

Not many people would call him Zhou Zai an old friend.Zhou Zaiyuan's staring eyes did not relax, and Fang was surprised when the other party took off the helmet.

"Manda?"

"You are surprised." Manda waved, and the people around slowly stood up.

Zhou Zai patted the war horse beside him, and the horse ran away to the right and rear by itself.

I was really surprised because I met a famous general from Beichang here.

Beichang has always been forgotten by the world in the name of a weak country.

Beyond the ice and snow ghost is Beichang.

Located in an extremely cold place, there are only long summer and cold winter, and the warm summer is only a short period of three months, so it is not suitable for planting and farming.

Except for the snowfields in the east, Beichang Kingdom is surrounded by water everywhere, mainly for fishing. In summer, they eat fresh fish and seafood, and in winter they eat dried fish and cured meat, so they are called fishy people in the north.

What happened more than ten years ago, I heard that summer gradually changed from three months to two months, and the food was scarce, and the people of the country were panicked.

There are thousands of miles of fertile soil in the south, and it has always been surrounded by east, west and north.

Therefore, Beichang Kingdom, with short summers and long winters, crossed the Ice and Snow Guiyuan, and joined forces with a group of ethnic groups in Xiling to try to break through Fengzhou and take control of Nanliang.

The country of Beichang is poor, and the country's military strength exceeds one hundred thousand, and the ice and snow ghosts are already at a loss, so they can only fight and cannot retreat.

Beichang is poor and has few people. The summer gradually changes from three months to two months. Food is scarce, and the people of the country are in panic.

Beichang is poor and has few people. One hundred thousand is already the army of the whole country.

The country of Beichang is poor, and there is no way out in this battle.

The battle was very tight, with more soldiers and more food in Nanliang, and the two sides fought to the death for three years.

Nanliang has 30 troops stationed in the two prefectures of Fengyan, and the combined army of Xiling and Beichang is only 15.

After three years of fighting, both sides lost nearly [-] to [-] enemies each.

Duke Qing Xi was extremely furious when he saw the report of the loss of troops submitted.

In the three-year long battle, 30 against 15, the winner has not yet been decided, which will damage the prestige of the country.

Duke Qing Xi, who was over fifty years old, immediately drove to the west and increased his troops by [-].

Xiling and Beichang have [-] troops waiting for the formation, of which [-] are the main force of Beichang.

King Qing Xi is now driving, sending 20 troops to surround and annihilate, with the intention of making it clear in the First World War.

The soldiers of Beichang regarded death as their home and put all their eggs in one basket. They knew that they were facing a powerful enemy, but they had no way out.

I still remember that during the expedition, the king of Beichang knelt down and bid farewell to each other, with tears streaming down his face: If you win, the whole country will move, and if you lose, you will sprinkle blood on the thick soil. Although Beichang is the ancestral land, there is no place to dig coffins and bury you .

The soldiers of Nanliang are full of confidence, and their strength is disparate, and they can see that they are sure to win.

In the First World War, the sun and the moon were fought regardless of the sun and the moon. Under the cluster of flags, there were blood and bones, and there were mourners everywhere.

The war ended with Nanliang's disastrous victory.

Because of Duke Qingxi's determination to fight, and because the soldiers of Nanliang believed that a large number of soldiers would lead to victory, nearly 10 soldiers died.

In this battle in Beichang, there are only four words: the whole army is wiped out.

At that time, there were piles of dead bodies, and the leading general, Manda, could not be found, and it was difficult to find.

I don't want to appear in such a close place after so many years.

"Beichang and Dongchi have joined forces." This was the first possibility that Zhou Zai could think of, and it was also the last thing he wanted to face.

The Dongchi Kingdom has more than 20 soldiers. Although Beichang suffered heavy losses, after more than ten years, there are always [-] soldiers.

In other words, the enemy's military strength was already above the estimated range, while Nanliang still only had a military strength of no more than [-].

Manda walked forward, and chopped off the head of the sergeant who was still giggling on the ground with a sword: "I am Beichang, the national hatred is unforgettable, and revenge must be avenged."

The blood splashed everywhere, very neatly and quickly, the blood flowed down the sword groove, and fell drop by drop on the white ground.

The hatred that had been hidden for more than ten years permeated the sword.

"At the beginning, we were also confused by this stinking thing, but now we feel that it is very easy to use, almost without much effort." Manda took a few steps forward, and the soldiers behind him also surrounded him. Come.

Fortunately, there were only a dozen of them, and Zhou Zai controlled the terrain, not daring to let go of the sword in his hand for a moment.

Manda was tall, bearded, in his forties, and had a distinct scar on his forehead that looked like he had been wounded by a cluster of arrows.

Xue let out a muffled cry under his feet, he raised his sword again, and slashed at the neck of the second sergeant who was still in a trance.

He failed to cut off his head with a sword as he wished, Zhou Zai rushed up and chopped off his sword, and quickly threw the sword at him.

The soldiers in silver armor immediately lined up behind, ready to be called at any time.

Manda was under pressure on his sword and stepped back a little, with a fierce disdain still on his face: "I won't let you die quickly, the ever-victorious general of Nanliang Kingdom."

"It's a little unexpected that you are not poisoned, so I have to let you suffer a little bit. Don't be afraid, you won't die too quickly."

Manda is very confident in himself, his hands are full of thick calluses left by practicing sword and splitting piles: "I want to strip off the clothes of General Changsheng in Nanliang and hang them in front of the battle for your subordinates to see. After they have finished reading, I will take off your skin and make a human skin drum, hang it on the empty graves of my [-] soldiers in Nanliang, and kowtow day and night."

They fought on the battlefield, Man Da is not only tall and strong, but also more tired than Zhou Zai Nian, more than ten years later, there are traces of gray in Zhou Zai Hu, Man Da is still brave.

The big sword and the long sword confronted each other, Zhou Zai stepped back a little, and saw Manda's long sword falling on the ground, and the head of another Nanliang sergeant was cut off.

With the total death.

This is what he said when he set off. Zhou Zai's eyes were wide open, and he knew Manda's strength well.

The result of reckless fighting can only be captured alive.

In contrast, it would be much better for him to die than to be captured, but he couldn't just die like this. As long as there was a glimmer of life, he shouldn't die here like a coward.

Zhou Zai turned around and swung his sword at the silver armored sergeant who had been surrounding him all the time, hitting his neck right in the middle.

The silver-armored soldiers next to him came to capture him immediately, but before the sword was cut off, an arm was gone.

Zhou Zai flew onto the horse's back, which was just outside the range of the disordered branches. As soon as he drank, the horse galloped on all fours.

A sharp whistle sounded behind him, and everywhere in the forest suddenly became extremely lively.

When the first team of scouts out of 50 people was caught, Man Daxuan was overjoyed to learn that Zhou Zai had actually come to patrol in person.

In order to capture the general of Nanliang, the Xianmin Tomb was surrounded by soldiers.

Zhou Zai ran all the way out of the jungle, and there was the sound of pursuit in his ears, as well as the whistling wind coming from Guiyuan, which was extremely weird.

He couldn't be captured alive, he had to be quick, slapping his horse's ass fiercely with the back of the knife.

White waves splashed endlessly under the iron hooves.

It's almost there, it's almost there, maybe the general can be saved, the sergeant who was driven back by Zhou Zai finally saw the towering towering city from afar.

He saw the gatekeepers that the people of Nanliang were proud of, and tears welled up from his heart, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Live and die together, return to the horse alone.

In the battle ten years ago, he did not ask to die. This time, 50 people on the tour lived and died with the general, but the general used his life to put him behind.

He whipped his horse vigorously again, thinking that the general was still in the woods, or maybe there was still hope.

He buried his head and ran towards the tower in the wind and snow.

On the wall of the Jingxuanguan building, Kuang Xun had already had the last bowl of wine for the day. Zisang stroked the neck of the silver wolf and looked at the snow-covered grave in the distance.

"It's the sixth day."

The wine in the bowl was already half-cold, and he drank it in one gulp, feeling like ice slag entered his stomach, making him terrified.

"Zhou Zai'er's behavior is too outrageous."

"Send another team out to look for it." This was Zisang's idea, Zhou Zai was not an ordinary scout patrol, if he didn't return, the army's morale would be disturbed, how would he command the battle if he didn't return.

Zisang patrolled the Yajing line for several days and practiced with the recruits in the school grounds. Most of what he heard was the admiration and trust of the soldiers for Zhou Zai.

Without Zhou Zai, the morale of the army will be shaken by half.

Kuang Xun knew it, and so did Zhou Zai's old subordinates, no one dared to speak out about General Zhang's tour.

Even if someone knew about it, no one would ever have thought that General Zhou Zai, who is well-known all over the world in Nanliang, would lose his life because of ordinary patrol missions.

"Send a team. I will take Daxue there. It has been running with me in the mountains since childhood. It will tell me if there is any danger."

Zisang secretly thought that if Zhou Zai had taken her there, maybe the Yin Xun would not be cut off like now.

No matter how bad it is, the heavy snow can still run back,,.

I still remember when I was in the fat hunting den, every time I went hunting, the good mother-in-law said to bring the wolf cubs, so that I could come back with a report.

Zhou Zai looks smart at times, but he is actually stupid because he follows the rules, because he always regards her as Qing Xigong's entrustment.

Kuang Xun never thought about sending people out again, but there must be an ambush in this situation, too many people should not go, and Zhou Zai would not agree to this situation of constantly sacrificing troops in vain.

"Four more days."

"If you wait any longer, it may be too late."

No one knew what would happen in the tomb of the foreign ancestors, and the Nanliang sergeant went out to be blind.

Kuang Xun slammed the bowl on the wall and gritted his teeth: "A military order is like a mountain, and there are three chapters in the agreement. If there is no difference, it cannot be changed."

Can only wait any longer.

Both of them spoke in front of the military order. At this moment, the guard post next to them moved, and they looked forward with their probes.

There are people outside.

People came from the direction of the city gate, which is almost a rare thing. After going out six groups of scouts, hundreds of people, finally a shadow appeared outside Jingxuan Pass.

"General Kuang, look."

They saw a man in a white cloak galloping furiously

Kuang Xun shouted loudly: "Hurry up and open the city gate, quickly open the city gate."

Shouts came down from the ten-foot-high city wall, ringing like a bell.

Liao Sang also ran down the stone steps three steps at a time.

She is nervous.

She was rarely so nervous, and there was always a thought in her head, that Nanliang Kingdom could not live without Zhou Zai.

Now that Nanliang loses the last pillar of Grandpa Wang Nanzai, he is afraid that he will collapse.

The gate of the city was opened, and the gate was as wide as three feet, like a dark cave, and the white cloaks of the people rushing inside were like stars in the dark night.

Kuang Xun's voice trembled, and when he saw someone coming, he asked, "Where's Zhou Zai'er?"

Immediately, he was choked by the wind and couldn't speak for a long time. He ran all the way, and it has been half a day. He is not sure how General Zhou Zai is.

Choking out a breath, he choked his throat and spit out a sentence: "The general asked me to report back first, there is an ambush in the forest."

"What about the others?"

"They're all gone."

"Where?"

"It's not far from the entrance to the valley, and it takes two hours to go in."

A silver light flew out.

Everyone was shocked.

Kuang Xun yelled from behind: "Showa, come back to me."

Isn't this Shijun clearly about to die?

Kuang Xun reined in his horse and slammed his fist against the wall. He couldn't walk, he was carrying a heavy burden on his body.

Kuang Xun yelled in front of the commander: "Where is the left deputy general, hurry up and ride five hundred horses and leave immediately."

Looking out from the wall of the Jingxuanguan building, a silver wolf is gliding on the snow in the quiet snow.

Then take a closer look at the armored sergeant sitting with his neck bent, holding a large curved bow and carrying an arrow basket.

The silver wolf with the sergeant on his back ran into the black forest valley that was slowly being shrouded in night in the distance, faster than a horse, like the wind.

A small cavalry team under the wall of Jingxuanguan also rushed up quickly.

The left deputy general has to order to go to the jungle of the ancestors' tomb and search for three hours. If Zhou Zai is not found, he will return immediately and not stay for a long time.

The left deputy general was ordered that if he was ambushed, he should retreat immediately and not love to fight.

Deputy General Zuo ordered that if General Zhou Zai is held hostage by the enemy, if he cannot be rescued——

That is to say, a sharp arrow shot to death.

The orders are all under the circumstances. If the enemy knows that Zhou Zai is among the scouts and patrols, he will definitely plan to capture him alive.

The general was captured, Xiang was regarded as a great shame, and he would rather die than humiliate, Kuang Xun made the worst plan for Zhou Zai.

If you know that Shijun ran out, Zhou Zai, you kid will punish me with military orders.

Zhou Zai, you are too obedient, so the king trusts you, and let you go to many tough battles.

The king is a master worthy of his life, but the king also has his faults.

Your Majesty just wants face too much, and always wants to be a monarch who has never been seen before or since.

If you want to win in one battle, you clearly know that this is impossible.

If you stick to it, the [-]-foot-high wall of Jingxuan Pass may last for a year or two.

But it's time to start the battle in spring.

Your Majesty, he is actually old, and the youngest people can't afford to lose, so he just wants to hold the news of the victory and then close his eyes and go to heaven.

So the king resolutely chose you.

I Kuang Xun disdain those intrigues in court, but I can still understand, the reason why I chose you is because you Zhou Zai are the only ones who dare to fight with their backs, and only you Zhou Zai will die in front of the battle because of loyalty to the emperor.

Zhou Zai, you better come back alive by yourself, otherwise, the five hundred soldiers will be plotted against when they go out. I don’t care about the king’s orders, I don’t care about the first spring battle, I just look at the Jingxuan left by my ancestors Natural danger guards.

Either get fired or lose his head.

Kuang Xun, me, old man, I don't want any face, I don't want any military merits, I just don't want to bring Nanliang Zhuangyong to smash my flesh and blood against the blade.

You said, what's the point of fighting back and forth? I don't bother to be a hero.

Kuang Xun me, old man, let me go out to fight with others, and the sword will not be as good.

Think about it, whether it's Dongchi or me in Nanliang, they are all people with wives, children, and mothers at home. They kill here and there, and kill the widows of the two families. What is the reason for it?

I'm old, I can't figure it out, I don't think about it, and I don't want to kill again. I'm almost 60 years old.

A man lived for sixty years, loyally and bravely smashed the pagoda, and fell into hell with nowhere to hang.
