I am fish

Since ancient times, the danger of the crane road has often been written by poets in the Central Plains into various poems to express their affection and aspirations.

It is said that you can climb to the top of Mount McQueen, the highest peak in Dayu territory, if you go east along the Crane Road Ancient Road and reach the end of the road.From ancient times to the present, very few people have been able to climb this peak, and very few people have been able to appreciate the magnificent scenery of the peak.

Therefore, Hedao is a sacred place in the hearts of many great literati and military generals. In addition to feelings, it is also accompanied by a strong desire to conquer.

Now Zhen Wenjun actually stepped on the crane road, but she didn't come to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Crane Road is a narrow and long ancient road. The terrain here is so dangerous that it hovers among the high mountains. It is very difficult for people to walk, let alone build roads.The roads here have been stepped out by all walkers throughout the ages, which formed the trend of Mengliang being easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Although Mengliang is difficult to attack, the Jin army has already won it once, and this time it has summoned 30 troops. If they are all killed under Mengliang City, the tragedy of being destroyed that day may recur.

A battle of disparity in strength cannot be fought recklessly, but only outsmarted.

Zhen Wenjun wanted to reduce the number of troops rushing to Jin on the Crane Road.

Zuo Kunda led [-] light cavalry to investigate the military situation in front and returned, saying that the Jin army was still ten miles away from Hedao and was about to arrive.

"Okay." Zhen Wenjun ordered all the soldiers to take their positions.

The Jin army walked through the crane road once. They must understand the danger of this road. If the enemy hides on the mountain and falls down the rocks, they can only be crushed. Therefore, before the Jin army enters the crane road, they are fully armed. The horses are walking in the middle of the road, even if a huge boulder rolls down the mountain, it is not easy to hit the soldiers directly.Hartz ordered all his brothers to put on armor and hold iron shields, and even the horses put on hard armor to prevent surprise attacks by the tiger cavalry.

Hartz carefully pushed the army forward, and even sent active soldiers to search for the shadow of Da Yu's ambush on the mountain roads on both sides of the road, but it was not so easy for Lianlian Qingshan to detect.

Ah Xi also followed Zhen Wenjun. Although she had never climbed Mount McQueen, she had walked the Crane Road hundreds of times. She was very familiar with the terrain of the nearby mountains. She knew where the best ambush was and which section of the mountain road was the narrowest. Best for ambushes.

Zhen Wenjun and the others were lying in ambush on the mountain, wearing camouflage and it was not easy to be found.

There they are.

coming.

Looking down from the mountain, the Jin army walked on the crane road like ants, a long stretch beyond the horizon, and it seemed that there were at least 5 people.

"This is not all their soldiers and horses." Zuo Kunda said, "A Dayu who surrendered to Huerjian before also knew a thing or two about the art of war. He told Harz not to let the army cross the crane road at the same time. General All eggs are put in one basket, and if the basket is tipped over, the losses will be huge."

"It doesn't matter." Zhen Wenjun raised the corner of his mouth: "It is enough to kill 5 of them in one go."

Maer He, the leader of the advance vanguard, rode on his horse, looking around as he walked.Although the mountains were quiet and only the sound of their cavalry marching could be heard, he had an intuition that there was some danger hidden in the dark.

When the horse team entered Hekou, Maerhe suddenly felt that there was something unusual about the horses under him.

The horse neighed a few times, its footsteps became more and more messy, and it kept heading towards the left mountain wall as if drunk.Malhe tightened the reins and tried to control the horse back, but instead of being able to control it, the horse even moved towards the mountain wall as if possessed by a demon.Maerhe found that not only him, but all the horses that entered the mouth of the crane were sucked by the mountain walls on both sides. For a while, they were turned on their backs, and there was a sudden sound of restlessness.

Malhe was in a state of shock. Is the mountain road haunted by ghosts or some kind of demon cast by the Central Plains people?

He immediately abandoned his horse and got off the ground, and at this moment something even more terrifying happened.

There was a huge invisible force that grabbed him like a giant hand, and dragged him to the mountain wall desperately.As soon as Malhe got out of the stirrup, he pulled himself up from the horse, flew directly to the mountain wall in the air, and smashed it hard.

Malhe couldn't believe what he saw. Countless horses and soldiers were sucked up to the cliff just like him. Those who were dragged on the ground and those flying in the sky dazzled his eyes.Such a weird scene really made him unforgettable forever!

At the same time, there was a rumbling sound above the head, and what Malhe worried most happened happened.

The boulder that had been hidden on the top of the mountain was pushed out. Following Zhen Wenjun's order, the boulder rolled down the mountain wall, and the screams of the earthquake shook the entire valley.Although the army rushing to Jin had been prepared for the ambush by falling rocks, they never expected to be stuck on the mountain wall by black magic, leaving no room for escape.

The boulder smashed the 2000 pioneers into a sea of ​​blood and mud. When the dust gradually fell to the ground, less than [-] people survived.But they didn't really get their lives back.

When the shock was still undecided, there were shouts of killing everywhere, Zhen Wenjun and Zuo Kunda led 500 elite soldiers to surround and kill them, and captured more than 3000 surrendered soldiers and more than [-] horses alive, which can be described as a complete victory.

The vanguard was the elite rushing to Jin, and Malhe was a young general whom Harz had given high hopes to. Unexpectedly, he was smashed to death before reaching Mengliang, and none of the 5 people were left, which confused Harz. untie.

Didn't they already formulate a strategy against falling rocks and arrow attacks before going into battle?For this reason, they deliberately marched in sections to maintain formation, and they were not close to the mountain wall and were fully armed. Why were they smashed to death?

"Hahahaha! If they hadn't had a great adviser who moved forward so cautiously, maybe this time the magnetic mountain plan might not be successful."

Zhen Wenjun, who had won a complete victory and returned to Mengliang, was invited by Wei Jingan to drink, and a group of soldiers took turns to toast her.The banquet was extremely lively, and a good start to the war was a happy event for everyone in Dayu's army.

Zhen Wenjun was very happy, but she remembered how good her wine was, it was terrible to lose her composure after drinking, not to mention Wei Tingxu was still present.

After drinking three cups excitedly, she glanced at Wei Tingxu who was sitting in the corner looking at her with a kind and serene smile. Zhen Wenjun felt that she was a little dazed. No matter what expression Wei Tingxu made now, she felt that there was a hidden mystery , everyone felt that Wei Tingxu was going to draw a knife out to kill a few people in the next second. Obviously, the murderer has become much gentler recently.Probably her fear has been deeply rooted in her bones, and she can't forget it.

Putting down the wine glass obediently, not daring to drink any more, Zhen Wenjun led Axi out.Facing a tent, she just praised her as a hero of the female high school and a soldier of Dayu's elite. She told everyone that in fact, this plan to destroy the enemy at Cishan would not have been possible without Ah Xi, and she could not even think of it.

Not long after she came to the front line, Axi told her about the fact that "there are only two peaks now" about Sansanfeng.It turns out that there are three three peaks in Sansan Peak, but one of them is full of magnets, which is not conducive to passing horses and carts, so it was dug away, and all the excavated magnets were filled in Guixin Valley.A month ago, Zhen Wenjun and Axi found the lodestone that had been dug away in the Valley of Homecoming. When they found it, the spear on Zhen Wenjun's back was sucked hard, and she was almost taken to the valley. inside.

It seems that the magnet's suction is amazing, and this plan is feasible.

It took them a lot of manpower and material resources to move the lodestone in the Valley of the Heart to the narrowest mouth of the crane path, cut it into huge pieces of stone, and stand on the mountain walls on both sides.Because the mountain wall here is originally gray and bumpy, and the magnetite mixed in it is not obtrusive, and it was covered up with some weeds, but the people rushing to Jin did not notice it.

The funniest part of this matter is that Chongjin people were clever but were misunderstood by cleverness.If they only wore animal skins and horses without armor and charged towards Mengliang like before, the magnets would not be able to cause any damage to them at all, and no matter how many stones fell down, it would be impossible to kill all 5 people— — What's more, transporting the boulders to the drop point also requires a huge amount of manpower. It is impossible to prepare thousands of boulders and throw them randomly. It must be hit with every shot.Attracting the enemy to the mountain wall can maximize the lethality of falling rocks.

"So this time, Ah Xi should take the lead in destroying the enemy." Zhen Wenjun is rarely so much focused on. At this moment, all the people who are watching her are the Wei family members. She is a little shy, and pushes Ah Xi out for She blocked the scorching gaze.

Ah Xi was not ashamed, he smiled and said: "It's easy to say, I'll just say it, all the formation and mobilization of troops is the credit of Wen Jun and Ji Yong, I didn't do anything."

A group of people also came up to toast her wine, and she was not polite at all, holding a glass of wine and holding a freshly roasted leg of lamb, a mouthful of wine paired with a mouthful of meat, eating happily.

Zuo Kunda also chatted with everyone about Zhenghuan. Fortunately, with the help of these two, Zhen Wenjun was able to escape quickly and ran back to Wei Tingxu.

"The smell of alcohol in the tent is strong, push me out to get some air." Wei Tingxu said.

"it is good!"

Zhen Wenjun pushed her out of the tent, and the sober coldness of the night instantly cleared up the stupefied mind a lot.

"Sister is indeed a piece of jade in the rough, a rare tool for a general. Tonight you are so eye-catching among everyone, I am happy for you." Wei Tingxu's praise made Zhen Wenjun very happy, and he felt ashamed and sweet, But he saw a downcast look on Wei Tingxu's face.

"Sister, what did you think of?" Zhen Wenjun knelt down and took her cold hand into his palm.I don't know when they were able to be so close, and Wei Tingxu didn't resist at all.

Wei Tingxu looked at the sky full of stars and said, "I thought of my elder brother."

Zhen Wenjun's expression froze slightly.

"My elder brother's name is Wei Jinghe, my second brother Wei Jing'an, and my third brother Wei Jingtai. My father's hope is placed in their names, and I hope that the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe. At that time, my father was not suspected by the late emperor, nor did he ever think about it. The Wei family who devoted themselves to serving the country will encounter disasters in the future. Now they have been fighting the Hu people for many years and have not been able to get rid of this trouble. If my eldest brother is still there, let alone Meng Liang, the Hu people want to pass the former customs. It is wishful thinking. How can there be the shame of slaughtering the city?"

Zhen Wenjun said: "But seeing the second son's heroic appearance on the battlefield, he thought of the eldest son?"

Wei Tingxu didn't speak, just looked at the night sky quietly.

She didn't want to say that Zhen Wenjun would accompany her, and took off his coat to protect her from the cold.

"Sister, do you know that I was very afraid of you when I first met you again." Zhen Wenjun squatted in front of her, carefully playing with her fingers, "To tell you the truth, you at that time were completely different from now, not a cold person. The face is moody and unpredictable. One moment, I thought we were already deeply affectionate, and the next moment, I turned ruthless. I always felt that I didn’t understand you. But recently, you have been able to show it more and more in front of me. True emotions, even if you have a little temper with me, I know that you finally treat me as your own, and I am really very happy. I keep everything about you in mind, and this is what I care most about now. The most important thing. I know you have always been strong, but...if there is a moment when you want to talk to someone, please come to me."

Zhen Wenjun looked at Wei Tingxu very sincerely, pressed the back of her hand to his lips, and his lips touched her phalanx lightly.

Wei Tingxu lowered his eyelashes, looked at the gentle and obedient Zhen Wenjun in front of him, raised his other hand from her temples to the tip of her ear, tapped on the mole on the tip of her ear, and said with a smile: "It is said that there is a mole on the tip of the ear. People with moles are very obedient."

"Yes, obedient. But not everyone listens."

"Oh?"

"I only listen to what my sister says." Zhen Wenjun laughed, her knees hurt and felt cold, but she didn't want to wake up at all, especially enjoying the feeling when Wei Tingxu touched her, as if she was in the clouds, being moved by white clouds, deep in her heart There is a subtle joy that is constantly being teased.

Wei Tingxu tapped her face with his fingertips, pulling her back from the soft clouds.

"I don't avoid everything that happened in Luanchuan, and I still remember all the details. Even if I don't want to remember, the wounds on my body will make me unable to forget. It is better to accept it than to escape. Accepting it is a part of my life and is why I I have to go through everything I have to go through. Except that my body is too weak, I like who I am now. Compared with staying in the deep boudoir and only knowing about music, chess, calligraphy, painting, husband and son, I understand that I have more things to do, and I have Ability to do well. You don’t have to worry about this. Earlier I showed you the scars on your body just to let you understand that our enemy has a human skin and a beast heart, and is best at deceiving people. I don’t want you to be bewitched by him. It’s important to achieve great things, And our Wei family has also been forced to the current situation step by step, we have no choice. Of course, I understand that you are smart and clever and can distinguish the authenticity by yourself, but I don't want to lose any important people, whether it is the second brother or you."

Zhen Wenjun's heart suddenly moved, she seemed to have heard the important message hidden in Wei Tingxu's words.Zhen Wenjun looked at Wei Tingxu, his brows and eyes were stretched like a bright spring, his lips moved and he was about to speak, Wei Tingxu suddenly said:

"But the great cause of Qianqiu is in front of us, we can't neglect anything. Sister, no one is more suitable for this matter than you."

The two were talking, when suddenly a loud cry pierced the peaceful Mengliang night sky.

Zhen Wenjun's scalp tightened and he stood up quickly. Both of them recognized that the cry came from the south gate of Mengliang City.

Suddenly the bell rang loudly on the tower, which was a signal of an enemy attacking the city!

Still immersed in the joy of victory in the first battle, there was a layer of alcohol over Mengliang City. Everyone was about to go to bed after celebrating their victory. Unexpectedly, an emergency bell rang at this time.

The person who rang the bell was Wei Jingan!

After Wei Jingan drank some wine in the tent, he didn't continue to make everyone happy, but he went to the city wall and replaced the soldiers on duty.

"Tonight we have good wine, meat, and leg of lamb. Don't miss it! You go and eat something to fill your belly, and leave it to me!" As soon as the general opened his mouth, the soldiers immediately called out in unison. The soldiers on duty Thirty people were left to patrol the city wall with Wei Jingan, and the others went back to fill their stomachs.

Wei Jingan's mind was always tense, and the happier he was, the more ominous the premonition made him feel uneasy.Perhaps it was because he was 16 years old when he just received the news of his eldest brother's death, and he was preparing to marry his childhood sweetheart since he was a child.The news of the eldest brother's death crushed the Wei family in an instant, and even his life was completely turned upside down.One month after the eldest brother passed away, his childhood sweetheart also contracted encephalitis for no reason, and passed away soon.Since then, Wei Jingan has always been afraid of lively and jubilant occasions, and he always feels that someone will rush in the next moment and tell him the news of so-and-so's death.

Therefore, the banquet just now made him feel a little depressed. If he didn't want to spoil the good atmosphere, he might as well come out to be on duty.

Because of this, Wei Jingan, who always had a vigilant heart, discovered something unusual.

Not long after he boarded the city wall, he saw some dark shadows shaking in the night.Those black shadows were like ants flocking to Mengliang in the dark, densely packed and extremely quiet, creepy.

"Light up the searchlight!" Wei Jingan's nerves were tense, he shouted, and the soldiers immediately lit the searchlight and sent it into the air.The north wind blows in Mengliang all the year round, as long as the enemy is coming from the south, the searchlights can clearly illuminate it.

Thousands of searchlights were blown to the south by the wind, illuminating the black earth.At the same time, Wei Jingan and the others saw that the black shadow was the main force of the Jin army!They didn't even ride horses, they ran wildly in the night without making any noise, and they killed Mengliang city without knowing it!This shock was no small matter, Wei Jingan immediately rang the Hong bell to get all the soldiers ready for battle!

Zhen Wenjun and Wei Tingxu also heard the bell, and Zhen Wenjun immediately rushed back pushing the four-wheeled cart.Before he ran ten steps, several strange sounds of "boom boom boom" sounded from the top of his head, as if something extremely large and powerful rushed into the sky.They looked up and saw dozens of kerosene bombs fired into the air from outside the city wall, making the night sky red, and they were about to fall towards the city.

The city was immediately flooded with screams, and the crowd around Zhen Wenjun became commotion almost instantly.

The kerosene bomb blasted into Mengliang City, exploding countless kerosene, Mengliang City was plunged into a sea of ​​flames in an instant, and even the military camp built in the city was engulfed in flames.

Zhen Wenjun's hair was burned, so he cut off the ends of it immediately, and pushed Wei Tingxu to run away.The oncoming people, the passing horses, and the wounded who were on fire and howling made it difficult for Zhen Wenjun to move.The four-wheeled vehicles are heavy and heavy, which is not conducive to their escape.Seeing a man on fire yelling and rushing towards Wei Tingxu, Zhen Wenjun kicked him away, picked up Wei Tingxu and ran away.

Balls of fried kerosene fell from the sky, and anyone who got a little bit of it would be burned.It was difficult for Zhen Wenjun to keep an eye on the road and the fire behind him.A ball of kerosene was about to hit the back of her head, and Wei Tingxu, who was around her neck, shouted:

"Two steps to the left!"

Without even thinking about it, Zhen Wenjun instinctively followed Wei Tingxu's instructions and immediately moved two steps to the left, avoiding the kerosene.

"Go! You are responsible for looking ahead, and I will look up!"

"it is good!"

The two cooperated extremely tacitly, dodging all the way and quickly rushed to the entrance of the underground waterway.Now the kerosene bombs are extremely lethal. All the houses in the city are either bombed or burned. There is no way out on the ground. The first thing Zhen Wenjun thought of was to escape into the underground waterway.

Open the cover of the water channel, and put Wei Tingxu down smoothly.Mengliang's waterway is much shallower than Runing's, only a little higher than Zhen Wenjun's head.

"Sister, I have wronged you to stay here for a while!" Zhen Wenjun said, "I will save the others!"

Seeing that she was about to leave, Wei Tingxu grabbed her.

Zhen Wenjun looked back and saw clear reluctance and worry in her eyes.

The bombardment above her head continued, and the screams continued, all of which came from her compatriots.She didn't want to watch these people die in vain.Moreover, she has more important things to do.

"Don't worry." Zhen Wenjun held her hand instead, with all kinds of tenderness in his heart, "I will definitely do it. Ting Xu, I... I want to go back to Runing with you, to see the wandering flowers you planted for me."

Wei Tingxu could only watch as she let go of her hand and returned to the ground again.

The lid of the waterway was put back on, and Wei Tingxu was a little lost in thought when he thought about Zhen Wenjun's change of words just now.

No one expected that Chongjin would make a surprise attack, let alone that they dared to abandon their mounts and walk instead in order to get close to Meng Liang without anyone noticing.The most unexpected thing is that they did not attack by force, but instead used kerosene bombs and used Da Yu's siege equipment to attack Da Yu. This is the masterpiece of Da Yu's traitors.

This raid caused heavy losses to the entire Mengliang, with countless casualties.After several battles, the Chongjin people had figured out the city of Mengliang, and knew that the south gate was the most vulnerable place in the city, so they concentrated their firepower to double their chances of winning.

Wei Jingan resisted with all his might, absolutely not letting the people rushing into the city.

Zhen Wenjun charged up the city wall and killed the enemy together with Wei Jingan and others.

Just when Mengliang City was crumbling, Ah Xin and Guo Xiao suddenly came and attacked from behind the Jin army.Wei Jingan and Zhen Wenjun saw the opportunity and rushed out. The two sides fought until dawn, and the corpses piled up everywhere. Wei Jingan defeated Harz again, and shot him through the shoulder.Hartz reluctantly fled.

Wei Jingan wanted to chase after him with a horse, but Zhen Wenjun persuaded him: "I'm afraid it's a trick to rush to Jin! The general must not chase after him! It's important to defend the city!"

"But if I don't kill him this time, I'm afraid I won't have another chance!"

"I'll chase!" Zhen Wenjun led his troops to chase after him, Wei Jingan stayed behind to guard Mengliang, and worked together with Ah Xin to kill all the remaining Chongjin troops, and Dayu's troops were depleted.

The battle came suddenly, lasted a day and a night, and finally Mengliang was guarded.

Chongjin's vitality was seriously injured, and he finally retreated to the north, and the border of Dayu temporarily ushered in peace.

It's just that everyone knows that this peace may not last long. When Chongjin regains its vitality, they will definitely make a comeback.

No matter what happens in the future, at least it is over for the time being.

This should have been a happy event, but Wei Tingxu and Lingbi couldn't feel any joy at all.

Because Zhen Wenjun disappeared.

Just after she led her troops to pursue Harz, there was no news, as if the world had disappeared.

Wei Tingxu sent people to search all over the north, but they couldn't find her, not even her body.
