alien war

Lao Hai's mind buzzed, and he glanced sideways at his back. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the person who came was a lieutenant general, and there were no soldiers around him. It was obvious that he came here by accident. "Don't move yet." He whispered to Zhan Zhao's soldiers, then quickly stepped forward and explained to the lieutenant with a smile: "The young one was taken by the general's order."

"Huh? Why didn't I follow the general..."

'Gu——' Before he could finish speaking, Lao Hai pinched his throat like lightning and couldn't make a sound, and his abdomen was stabbed several times with a dagger in a blink of an eye.

"You must be tired, my little one will help you to rest." As he spoke, he helped the dying lieutenant under the tree and put him away.

"Let's go." The three hurriedly withdrew to the appointed place.

Wuzang received a report that the soldiers of the Song Army were approaching the south of the city. Because the patrol team was blocked by the Song Army, the delivery of the information was delayed.Wu Zang originally wanted to return to the country after the rest. He burned Xizhou City and took Zhan Zhao as a trophy. If he couldn't catch the grand master and take an imperial guard back, it would be enough to humiliate the Song Dynasty for a while.But I didn't expect the Song Army to send reinforcements so quickly. The existing troops are already short of men and horses, which is not conducive to the battle. It is better to use Zhan Zhao as a shield, stabilize the Song Army first, and then make plans.And just when he brought people over to drag the half-dead cat up the city wall, he happened to bump into the three people who were carrying Zhan Zhao to evacuate.

"Take Zhan Zhao, let's go, I'll cover." Seeing the group of people rushing straight, Lao Hai resumed his usual smiling face and stood in the middle of the road with a knife.

"Brother Hai..." Zhan Zhao turned his head and called out in a low voice.

"...to survive..."

The back of Lao Hai got further and further away, he might have said something again, but only this sentence was deeply imprinted in Zhan Zhao's mind.

Han Qi saw that the general of Xixia suddenly appeared with a team, and was quickly thinking about how to deal with it. However, he saw Xixia soldiers rushing to the south, presumably reinforcements were approaching the city.In this case, they must create some troubles for the Xixia people while covering Zhan Zhao's escape.

He said to the two soldiers beside him: "You two followed me to guard the south gate, and you are quite familiar with the situation there. Kung fu mixed in and set fire to destroy them, we must not allow the Xixia people to use it to resist the reinforcements."

"Yes." The two groped the path and headed south.

Han Qi knew in his heart that the two of them were in danger, but he couldn't care less about the critical situation. After doing their best, they had to obey their destiny. "Both of you follow me to cover Zhan Zhao." While speaking, he raised his knife and rushed towards the team that didn't hide.

After a fierce battle, Song's reinforcements finally broke through the burning south gate after more than an hour. The Xixia team only sent troops to resist at the south gate, and then hurriedly withdrew westward before the Song army completely surrounded the city.

The two vanguards of the reinforcements have been ordered to pursue, while the remaining soldiers stayed in Xizhou City to clean up the battlefield.They picked out a dying man from the mess in the south of the city. Although he was wearing Xixia military armor, he kept chanting the word "Chengdong" in his mouth.On the way to search eastward, Han Qi, covered in blood and unconscious, leaned against the low wall of the civilian room. He was stabbed in the ribs, but fortunately he was still alive.

The team on the east side captured a Xixia soldier who came forward to surrender, and after asking, he found out that he was one of his own. Under his leadership, they successfully found Zhan Zhao who was hidden in the rubble and the Grand Master who was unconscious in the cellar...

The people in Xizhou were busy all night, and they didn't sort all the corpses until noon the next day.Since the west and north of the city had been severely burned, most of the remains had been reduced to scorched earth, and only the east and south of the city had been preserved.

In the battle of Xizhou, the Song army defended the city with a total of 390 people, and five people survived.

Zhan Zhao was dreaming one weird dream after another in a daze. First, there was the empty Kaifeng mansion and the messy imperial study. Refusing to take a look at him, the Grand Master brought some slaves and smiled at him strangely... Later he came to the Underworld battlefield, where General Guan and Master Feng fought fiercely, so he tried to dissuade him, but the two ignored him at all , Black Crow led people to tie him up and dragged him in front of Hades. The Hades in the temple couldn't see his face but kept muttering something. Then it seemed that many people came around him and kept burning flames around him. Unable to move, he has no power to escape. The heat lasted for an unknown amount of time, and the flames gradually extinguished... Lord Feng suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, scolding him continuously and kicking him out of the palace, telling him to get lost...in the mist , he felt that his body had been falling, and landed in a very dazzling place, and his body was also stung by the surrounding light, which made him even more sad...

"Um...cough..."

"You're awake, please don't move. I'm the medical officer accompanying the army. Tell me what you want." This was the first time this adult who had been in a coma for five days and five nights woke up. The medical officer couldn't help being overjoyed. It must be said that it is a miracle that he can still recover his life.

Zhan Zhao tilted his head weakly and looked at the clear sky outside the window, let go of his long-inactive throat and asked in a low voice: "How about Xizhou...General he..." There are too many things to be eager to know, and the weakness in his chest The ups and downs affected the wound, so he had to stop and rest.

"Don't worry, Pang Da is well. I came to see you the day before yesterday. Seeing that you were still unconscious, I ordered the younger ones to take turns staying here. Mr. Zhan, please drink some water." While speaking, a spoonful of warm water was handed over. go up.

After swallowing a few spoonfuls of warm water, the condition of the throat and stomach eased a bit. "Where are we?"

The medical officer touched Zhan Zhao's forehead. Although the high fever of the past few days subsided, he was still a little hot. Fortunately, he was awake and his life was no longer in serious danger. "My lord, this place is Jinzhou. At that time, you were sent here overnight. Because of your serious injuries, you could no longer bear the bumps of the horses and horses, so you were temporarily placed here. Master Pang Da ordered that you must try your best to heal you."

Seeing that the medical officer's face was exhausted and exhausted, Zhan Zhao smiled and thanked softly: "You have worked hard these days, Zhan Zhao is very grateful, please forgive me for not being able to salute and thank you."

"Where is it, sir, please be polite, this is a small matter." The medical officer got up quickly. "My lord, rest first, don't move around, I will find someone to change your medicine."

"I'm sorry." Zhan Zhao felt faintly dizzy, probably because he had been lying down for a long time.He guessed the reason why the medical officer changed the topic of Xizhou.Closing his eyes, the endless flames of war came into his mind. The scorched earth, wreckage, and coagulation of blood were vivid in his mind. The soldiers who fought unambiguously, as well as those soldiers who were not familiar with him but gave up their lives to cover him from escape at critical moments , all of which made his eyes sore and swollen.He suppressed the bitterness rising in his eyes and prayed secretly, hoping that the passing of countless cherished people would bring long-term peace, and vowed to replace them with his preserved life to protect them even if he did his best. everything of……
