Battlefield of All Sides

Chapter 22

A gust of cold wind blew in front of him, and there was a faint smell of blood. Li Mu's expression changed almost in the next moment, and he rushed towards the hill with frantic steps.

The surrounding soil has become very loose due to people trampling on horses, almost as if it has been plowed again. Li Mu stepped on it with cowhide boots and it was very smooth. In the end, he almost bent down and climbed up with all four limbs. .

The slope of 60 meters was covered with corpses, and the long halberd and scimitar were stuck everywhere. Li Mu tripped several times, but got up again gritted his teeth, with blood dripping from his left hand. When it reached the wrist, Li Mu didn't have time to wipe it off, so he rushed up desperately.

Li Mu moved quickly, because at this moment, his heart was full of his grandfather's safety.

The general's flag hasn't fallen down yet, so grandpa must still be holding it up, which means grandpa is fine, he must be fine.

Li Mu hinted frantically in his heart, and he didn't know why he was so nervous. At this moment, panic thoughts always popped up in his heart, and he actually thought that something might happen to Grandpa.

Li Mu tried his best to squeeze this thought out of his mind, and then climbed up with all his strength. But when he reached the top, what caught Li Mu's eyes was Huo Qubing who had dismounted, and many people standing there. The knight behind him.

Huo Qubing was wearing a black cloak with his back facing Li Mu, standing in front of the general flag, but slowly took off his helmet, and his wrapped hair was blown in the wind.

Li Mu suddenly felt an electric current rushing from head to toe, and half of his body was numb.

The surrounding cavalry dismounted one by one, watching the unkempt Li Mu step forward step by step.

Impossible, impossible, as Grandpa told himself, his position is the safest position, so... Impossible.

Li Mu walked forward step by step in a trance, all the soldiers around looked over, and the battlefield suddenly became quiet again at this moment.

Li Mu hates this kind of silence, hates this kind of silence, hates this kind of silence!

The soldiers in black armor and red clothes in front of him would not give him any sense of security at this moment, but those Hun soldiers who had fallen to the ground and died gave Li Mu a bone-chilling cold.

The sound of the collision of the short armor on Li Mu's body slowly sounded on this hill that was so lively just now, Li Mu moved his legs numbly, and slowly moved towards the person who was standing in front of the flagpole and turned his back to him. Huo Qubing walked away.

Huo Qubing seemed to have noticed Li Mu's arrival, he turned around heavily, and met Li Mu's with his red eyes.

In an instant, Li Mu already knew the ending that he least wanted to know.

Huo Qubing didn't step forward, but moved away silently. Li Mu's vision finally connected with the flagpole, and the scene under the flagpole was already imprinted in Li Mu's pupils.

It was a flag stand with a base made of Hun corpses, and the flag soldiers entangled with them, and then hovered together and fell on both sides of the flag.

And in the center of the flagpole is a half-kneeling rickety figure.

His neat clothes were gone, his gray hair was fluttering in the air, his thick, callused hands were holding the flagpole tightly, holding it in his arms, preventing it from falling down.

It didn't fall, but he did.

Grandpa is still the same grandpa, but he will never stand up again, and then slap Li Mu's head stubbornly with feigned anger, and then kick Li Mu's calf when he is not practicing hard .

he died.

Died at the moment before the arrival of reinforcements, he ordered the flag to be erected with his life.

Li Mu narrowed his eyes, only felt that his legs suddenly lost strength, and the pain on his body was no longer felt, but his heart felt like someone was pinching him tightly.

Li Mu felt that his heart was about to bleed.

"No, the flag can't fall down, even if I die, I have to stand here and die with the flagpole upright!"

……

"Baby, protect yourself, those Huns' arrows are about to fail, don't be afraid!"

……

"It's nothing to worry about, silly boy, grandpa is very happy that you came to rescue grandpa today, but remember, grandpa is the safest person here, so don't lose him next time."

……

"No! I just have some strength, but you are still far from it. Stop talking. I will go and tell General Huo that you and the escort team will leave tomorrow!"

……

"What is this? Don't worry, this thing is a symbol of strength. You will also have to develop a thick layer of calluses to hold my flag."

……

"Anyway, I've made up my mind. After the general leads us to fight this time, the Xiongnu will be wiped out by the general. There will definitely be no more wars at that time. I will just take this kid back and make him a Family, leave a queen for my Wu Family."

……

Li Mu took a deep breath, moved forward vigorously, and stretched out his hands tremblingly, but when he saw the lifeless grandpa with his head down, his hands trembled even more.

"A... Grandpa..."

Li Mu's throat was congested, and a fishy and sweet taste came into his mouth, which made Li Mu speechless.

I would like to serve the country with this body, why should I be born into Yumen Pass...

However, the ancient battles... How many people came back...

Wu San didn't have such lofty ideals, he just wanted to hold the banner for General Huo and follow General Huo to complete the campaign.

What he thought more about was how to return to his hometown after the war, buy a few acres of Susukida, build a mud house, find a wife for his adopted son, and then live and work in peace and contentment for the rest of his life.

In the end, ashes to ashes and ashes to ashes.

But this simple ideal came to an abrupt end. When the last trace of blood flowed from his body, this life ended and he died in a foreign land.

My hometown has become a place I can't go back to.

In the past 23 years, Li Mu has all the elders in his family. Everyone cares about him, and the elders he cares about are living well.

And it was only ten days since I came here to make proposals, my dearest relatives in this strange world, the elders I cared about the most, died in front of me in this way.

He half-kneeled on the ground tightly, with his head down, and desperately supported the flagpole, letting the sunset of the desert dye the entire flag red.

It was the color of blood.

Li Mu's tears welled up in his eyes, the grief and indignation accumulated in his chest almost spit out blood, his face was flushed because he couldn't breathe, he raised his right hand and beat his chest fiercely, the annoyance and depression spewed out, turning into a cry A hoarse cry.

Huo Qubing was standing next to him, but he also kept his mouth tightly shut at this moment. Seeing Li Mu who was kneeling on the ground, he was devastated. He stepped forward, but he saw Li Mu suddenly straighten up, looking up to the sky and screaming.

"what!!!!!"

Li Mu's eyes were bloodshot with anger, he stood up from the ground, turned around, picked up a long knife in his hand, looked around, saw the bound Huns at the foot of the mountain, and shouted Run away.

"That's a Hun general, he can't be executed on the spot!" A general hurriedly stood up and shouted. He was about to come out to stop Li Mu, but Huo Qubing held him back.

The general was puzzled, but he saw Huo Qubing, who had his head down, walked over and finally stood still on the side of the hill.

These damned Huns, this damned battlefield experience system, this damned battlefield, this damned everything, damn it!

Why put me through all this!
Grandpa shouldn't die here, he should have a happy old age, he should have children and grandchildren around his knees in the coming year, he should have a time to honor his old age.

But it's gone, it's gone, yesterday my grandfather was still carefully covering me with a quilt at night, today he patiently told me to be careful, and the last moment he let me concentrate on defending against the enemy.

But at this moment, grandpa is gone, there is no grandpa in this world anymore!
Li Mu roared and jumped down the hillside, and rushed towards the Huns who were kneeling on the ground. The surrounding soldiers tried to stop him, but they were stopped by Huo Qubing on the top of the hill.

"Don't stop him! Those Huns deserve to die!"

Li Mu rushed in front of the Huns who were kneeling on the ground, looked fiercely at those guys who were cowering in their eyes at the moment, shouted and raised the knife, the roar was even louder, but the hand holding the long knife suddenly stopped.

Li Mu raised his head and let the tears flow on his face, but the crying became more and more painful. The next moment, he kicked a Hun down with his face full of indignation, threw the knife away, sat on his body and punched violently.
