The tent became quiet again, knowing that there was a sudden war cry outside the camp, the two people in the tent suddenly became alert, looked at each other tacitly, raised the red-tasseled guns at hand, opened the curtain, and hurried outside the tent.

The enemy army from the Zhulu Kingdom attacked in the middle of the night. Gu Shibai and Shen Lanzhao led their troops to fight all night. The fighting continued and blood flowed. By dawn, there was still no winner.

The soldiers in the army were a little tired, but they were still stubbornly entangled with the enemy troops. At noon, although the victory and defeat were not determined, the two armies of Qingqi and Yulin clearly had the upper hand, but the enemy army was not weak, so the fierce battle continued. There is still no distinction between equals, and the general battalion was anxious, but suddenly heard the report from the soldiers, saying that the enemy had suddenly left after playing chess.

The enemy army was coming fiercely, but the retreat was so sudden. Everyone in the general battalion knew that this was strange, so they immediately ordered the two armies of Qingqiyulin to retreat, and there was no need to chase them, but Shen Lanzhao would not listen. , Seeing the enemy's retreat, he must lead his troops to chase.

Gu Shibai rushed to stop him and tried his best to dissuade him: "Brother Lan Zhao, don't love to fight!"

"Obviously it's our army gaining power, why can't we catch up?" Shen Lanzhao couldn't listen to the words of dissuasion at all, waved away Gu Shibai's spear lying in front of him, yelled, and led the Yulin army to run along the direction of the enemy's escape and go.

Ning Lan, the deputy general of Gu Shibai's army, looked at the tumbling dust raised by the horse's hoof, wondering: "Young general, what should we do now?"

"Qingqi and Yulin have always been in the same family." Gu Shibai frowned and sighed, holding his spear to his side: "Naturally, we are with them."

"Ning Lan, go back and report to my father, asking him to send some reinforcements to meet us." Gu Shibai did not forget to ask before driving away, Ning Lan nodded and turned the horse away.Gu Shibai sighed secretly in his heart, and led all the soldiers of the Qingqi army to chase after the Yulin army in the distance.

Shen Lanzhao led the Yulin army to chase the enemy all the way to Weishui, only to see the surrounding mountains and rugged paths, which made people feel closed. Shen Lanzhao gradually felt ominous, and was about to lead his troops to leave, but suddenly heard There was a sharp sound of whistles around the mountain, and then a circle of enemy troops surrounded the top of the mountain, took up their longbows, and shot at the Yulin Army with arrows.

"Shen Lanzhao! Are you okay?" In the rainy night, Shen Lanzhao opened his eyes and saw darkness, cold jade beads hit the back of his hand, he seemed to be lying on the pile of corpses of thousands of brothers in the Yulin Army, the tip of his nose was full of blood.

A drop of rain "popped" on his eyelashes. He opened his eyes with difficulty, and his consciousness gradually became clear. Suddenly he realized something. He sat up from the ground, grabbed the collar of the person in front of him and said: "The enemy What about the army?" He glanced around, looking at a group of corpses lying around, feeling at a loss in his heart; "Where are we now?"

"When I arrived with my troops, you were already ambushed by the enemy. You forgot that we led our troops to break through the enemy's encirclement and then hid in this jungle." Gu Shibai pressed Shen Lanzhao's shoulders and turned to him Explained: "You were too tired, so you passed out as soon as you got out of trouble."

"I..." Shen Lanzhao looked at his blood-stained hands in a daze, and the rain of arrows shot at them by the enemy standing on the top of the mountain appeared in his mind. He watched the soldiers of the Yulin Army fall one by one. Before his eyes, he truly felt the fear on the battlefield for the first time. Thousands of deaths and injuries were all in an instant.

Later, Gu Shibai led the Qingqi army to feel that they broke through the encirclement with difficulty, and finally fled to a jungle by the Weishui River.However, most of the Yulin army were seriously injured and almost lost half of the army, and all of this was because of him, Shen Lanzhao.

If he was willing to listen to Gu Shibai, there would be no such consequences. He beat the armor on his chest, and the man would not shed tears easily, but now that there are countless casualties, how can he not make him feel guilty and cry? How many people have been killed by pride and complacency?

Seeing that he was deeply blaming himself, Gu Shibai stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs, Brother Lan Zhao, don't blame yourself too much."

"But..." He lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "It's my fault..."

"The matter has come to this point, there is no need to blame yourself too much. The current plan is to imagine a way to break through." Gu Shibai sighed, stood up with his sword in his hand, and scanned the surrounding jungle: "We will not hide here for long Regarding the matter, the enemy army is outside, and it is very likely to send troops to search the forest, or..." He looked back at Shen Lanzhao, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Set fire to the forest."

"Then what should we do now?" Shen Lanzhao collected his emotions, stood up, and looked at the battle-damaged and exhausted soldiers of the two armies around him: "Now that the situation is broken, we can't forcefully break through."

"Brother Lan Zhao is right!" Gu Shibai affirmed, and then looked up at the dark night among the trees. The rain fell and hit the branches and leaves, making a rustling sound. He stood in the rain, as if The cold eagle exuded a noble and dangerous aura: "But when I came, I sent Ning Lan back to the camp to report. If I survive tonight, the fish trapped in the net should be replaced."

Shen Lanzhao looked at him in surprise, then lowered his face, and said solemnly: "Don't call me brother Lanzhao...you are better than me!" He gritted his teeth, filled with righteous indignation: "From today onwards, You are my brother!"
