Chapter 38 Finale - Chapter [-]
Chapter 38 Finale - Chapter [-]
The imperial court sent someone to send an order, only to call for a truce between the two countries, and then ordered General Lou to return to the royal city with his army.
General Lou received the order with a worried expression on his face.Anyone with a discerning eye understands that General Xiaolou is leading the battle, even if it is not now, it is not impossible to lead the army again in the future.
But every moment counts. Now that a truce has been negotiated, no one wants to be the first bird to charge into the battle; after all, most people are mere mortals rather than sages, and no one wants to miss the opportunity to take a breather.
The entire barracks was packed in a mess, and most people had smiles on their faces, even looking at General Xiaolou, they couldn't hold back their smiles.
A few days ago, General Xiaolou issued an order, and all the soldiers conscripted from near Yizhou were allowed to go home. A group of those who were far away had left, and most of the remaining hundreds of people lived near Yangguan City, so they decided to leave tomorrow. .
Most of them are [-]-year-old boys, who are always energetic, without restraint, and seem a little idle.
"Hey, I can go back to my hometown tomorrow, but I can't sleep right now."
"No, I've been away for more than half a year, but I miss our roast chicken."
The entire camp was full of voices, a rare excitement.
"General Lou, is this the end of this battle?" Hong Wei approached General Xiaolou with a bag and asked secretly.
General Xiaolou was saddling his horse, when he heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Hong Wei, "It is now."
As soon as Hong Wei heard it, she understood that the current peace talks might be just a tactic to slow down the troops, and the war with Xiya was far from over.
Just as he was thinking, a short arrow suddenly shot out diagonally in front of him; General Xiaolou quickly pulled Hong Wei, and the short arrow went straight into the feet of the two of them.
"No, there is an ambush."
I don't know who shouted it, but as soon as the voice fell, a layer of arrows rained densely all around, covering the sky and covering the earth.
Everyone didn't expect Xiya to take advantage of the time when the barracks was being assembled, and the purpose was probably to take the lives of General Xiaolou and his party.
General Xiaolou was also careless, thinking that the two countries had negotiated and signed the edict, and Xiya would not backtrack so quickly.Who would have thought that the other party would take advantage of the time difference between the delivery of the edict and secretly lay an ambush.
"General Lou, hurry up, the humble officers will protect you first." General Xiaolou's servants held up iron shields and stood beside General Xiaolou.
General Xiaolou took the shield from the valet, pulled Hong Wei past him, and retreated into the forest where the arrows rained.Iron shields surrounded a dozen people reluctantly protecting the front and back.
Hong Wei's heart was beating fast, he didn't wear armor or a helmet, so he could only shrink his body and hide in the iron shield as much as possible.
"General Lou, after we get through this wave, Vice General Lin can bring people back." The group retreated into the forest, and the rain of arrows had already thinned out.
In this sneak attack in West Asia, there must not be many dead soldiers secretly planted, and the number of weapons is also limited. As long as you avoid the close proximity of the dead soldiers, you can rest assured.
The group of people all breathed lightly at the same time, Hong Wei's face was congested with blood, and his temples throbbed; but he didn't dare to make any noise.
Hong Wei took a few deep breaths silently.He knew that he was a laggard among these people. General Xiaolou kindly rescued him, so he couldn't make trouble for the other party.
Close combat is inevitable, but this battle, for the sake of Dongxia, General Xiaolou must win.
"You just hide, wait until I call you, and then come out." General Xiaolou tore off the hem of his clothes, wrapped them around the wound just shot by the arrow; he drew the arrow neatly, and only frowned slightly. , never even shook his shoulders.
"I......"
Hong Wei was trembling slightly, General Xiaolou actually let him be...a deserter on the battlefield?
For the first time in her life, Hong Wei felt the great humiliation for no reason.He is timid, but now that everyone is fighting at a critical moment, he can only choose to be a deserter?
Hong Wei grasped the straps of the burden tightly, remembering what that idiot said.
Now, is he really going to be the kind of person that idiot hates?
No.
He, Hong Wei, had been kneeling for 20 years, but he never wanted to kneel again.
He may not be able to choose his life, but he can control it in his own hands after his death.
At the moment when he rushed forward, Hong Wei's mind went blank; his heart was beating, boom, boom... faster and faster, he protected General Xiaolou, locked him tightly in his arms, Press it under your body.
The moment the arrow sank into the back, Hong Wei trembled almost imperceptibly.
It turned out to be painful... Hong Wei just thought about it in a daze.
The arrow was so powerful that Hong Wei could vaguely feel that the arrow had pierced the skin, squeezing the skin and pushing forward layer by layer.
General Xiaolou was frightened by Hong Wei, no one saw the hidden arrow; but no one thought that this silly boy would charge straight up and block the arrow.
General Xiaolou wanted to get up, but Hong Wei held him down and pressed down again.
"Xiao... Lou... General, let me... block it again." Hong smiled, "For... Dong Xia, you can... ...you can't die."
"I'm... a beggar. If I die... I'll die. You... are different." Hong Wei only felt the pain, and panted hissingly.
The arrow hit the wrong place, it hit the left chest, and the blood flowed out along the arrow's buttocks, gradually the robe became bloody and wet.
General Xiaolou's eyes were red, and he pressed the wound desperately, but he didn't dare to move, fearing that the person on his body would be hurt more severely.
Even though, he didn't know the person's name.
"Cough," as Hong Wei coughed, blood gushed out of his back again, "Don't...don't press it...anyway...it will bleed."
"I... am timid... press... press... I am more afraid."
Guess there was something on the arrow, Hong Wei's consciousness began to blur, as if he had forgotten that the person in front of him was General Xiaolou, and started talking nonsense.
"Idiot...I...didn't...be...a deserter." Hong Wei pulled the corner of his mouth, but the blood remained along the corner of his mouth, looking miserable Incomparably, even that withered yellow hair was dyed blood at some point.
"Idiot... You received the letter... right..." Hong Wei's voice was intermittent, and the listeners were worried, for fear that he would not be able to catch his breath.
But he kept smiling, his eyes were extremely bright, and they were so bright that they were full of water; Hong Wei was not a very handsome person, but his eyes were bright and clear, when looking at people, few people would not say a word of praise.
Those eyes are so moist, the water drops are hanging on the lower eyelids, it will not fall, it seems that the essence of the whole person is gathered in it.
His eyes were bright, but his voice gradually became smaller.
"Dum...dum...I...want...want...to go home."
"Dum... dumb... can you... can... come... pick me up... ..Ah..." As he spoke, the drops of water finally fell down, hitting his chin in a daze; Rolling straight out, "I...I...are afraid...of pain..."
"I'm afraid... I can't find... the... way back...to..."
"Analysis...Analysis...fool...I...afraid...I...afraid... "What a man Hong Wei was, his tone was extremely aggrieved; he spoke nonsense without resentment, he only cried out pain, but it made people feel sad.
He is just a mortal, how can a mortal body not feel pain?
But even in this situation, Hong Wei only called that idiot's name.One sound after another, as if it has never been called before; the wind sometimes gushes into the mouth, blurring the pronunciation of the words, Hong Wei still repeats it again and again tirelessly.
It's like a ghost, screaming for the soul.
Hong Wei was afraid after being in pain, so afraid that her whole body felt remorse, thinking about the previous scene, but couldn't grasp anything.
He was afraid of many things, not least not being able to go home, but right now he couldn't even speak; Hong Wei only felt cold, but many people's faces and voices flashed in his mind: "Old beggar. ...Uncle Li...Lin Zi...General Xiaolou...
"Tiny, I'm going to live a good life."
"That is, when the war is over, I will go back to Yuncheng with you, it's a deal."
"In our next life, in our next life... we will be brothers again."
"You're right."
And... that idiot Xia Xiyan.
Hong Wei curled up slightly, trying to resist the wind and cold; but what he was muttering could no longer be heard clearly.
In this life, his body was bent, but his back was as straight as loose.
Hong Wei, this idiot, just fell into a deep sleep.
"My subordinate came late to rescue me, so please forgive me, General Lou." Vice General Lin finally arrived with his team.
But one step difference, sometimes it is life and death in one breath.
General Xiaolou won the battle, but he felt that he was completely defeated.
There was a dead silence all around, and everyone kept silent in unison.No one knew what to say, this was the first time they had seen the earth pit that General Lou had piled up with his own hands.
This man was too humble, a beggar, even as retainers, they never cared about him.
Beggars are always slippery and live in ruined temples.
Even in this troubled world, they are still insignificant and not worth mentioning, like the dust on old utensils and clothes, they can be seen everywhere.
A beggar's life is just too small to leave any trace in people's hearts; just shake it, and the ashes will fall, and there is no trace of it.
Just a beggar, no one cares, no one cares.
Someone tried to speak, breaking the silence.
"He...isn't that old, he's only about twenty?"
"I heard... that kid was originally a beggar, and he came out to join the army when his family couldn't afford food."
"Hey, he's a beggar, where did he come from?"
"I don't know... who is kind, but... there are always one or two kind-hearted idiots in this world."
They didn't talk much, they were not familiar with this little beggar, they had only been together for a few days; it was rare to know him, so how could they say anything?
There were a few sparse sounds, and everyone couldn't even think of a eulogy; they could only gradually fall silent, and the surroundings were once again peaceful.
General Xiaolou didn't speak, just bent over and kowtowed towards the unnamed grave; the people behind followed the general and helped the ground one by one.
"Let's go, general, the king is still waiting in the palace."
General Lou got on his horse, raised his whip and led the men straight to the east.
There is a sign in front of the earthen hat behind him, with only one word written on it:
floor.
This person, Hong Wei, died and only ended up like this, even his surname was changed.
Hong Wei is just a fool.
The author has something to say: the sweet and sour taste is really amazing, isn't it?
