At this time, the originally clear sky here has become turbid due to the smoke and war, and the magnificent Great Wall has also been damaged.
The soldiers were resting against the wall at this time. Almost every one of them was wounded, and their bandages were stained red with blood.
I can't remember how many battles it was, how many people were killed or how many people died. The only thing I remember is that as long as someone attacks, they will fight to the death.
After shooting the bow and arrow, use the spear. When the spear is broken, use the saber. After the saber is curled, use fists and bricks. If that doesn't work, use the head or teeth. No matter what method is used, it will be effective as long as it kills the enemy.
Leng Yan was also covered in wounds at this moment. In addition to the battles of ordinary soldiers, there was naturally no shortage of fighting between warriors.
Academy sects across the country have supported many disciples, but this has no effect at all. This is a national war, and the entire country of the Lieyang Empire on the opposite side is mobilized.
Leng Yan supported the city wall and looked into the distance with a deep gaze.
"Is there any news yet?" Leng Yan asked without looking back.
"Go back to General, not yet." The training staff on the side replied in a low voice.
"Send another team to look for it!" Leng Yan ordered with a fist on the city wall.
"The general... has sent out several teams. Not only have they not been found, but there has been no news from those teams. This shows that the northwest is not safe at all. I dare to ask the general to take back my life and stop letting my brothers go to waste.
Sacrificed." The training staff bowed and said.
Hearing this, Leng Yan turned around and looked at the training staff, with cold eyes and said: "Weren't the brothers who made it difficult for them to go out? They also went to inquire about the enemy for the sake of the empire."
"And let me tell you one more thing, Qianxue came here on behalf of someone, and the person he replaced has a lot of background."
The training staff nodded to express his understanding.
"General, who will be sent to respond next?" the training staff asked.
Leng Yan sighed and looked to the west again.
After a while, he slowly said: "Go and call Zhang Liang from the 32nd Battalion of the 3rd Corps."
The training staff member followed the order and went down. After a while, Zhang Liang followed the training staff member and climbed onto the city wall.
"I see you, general." Zhang Liang bowed deeply to Leng Yan's back and shouted.
"Zhang Liang, let me ask you, are you afraid of death?" Leng Yan asked without looking back.
"Go back to the general, my subordinates are afraid of death!" Zhang Liang replied loudly.
"It's good to be afraid! If I want you to die, are you afraid?" Leng Yan slapped the wall and shouted.
"Go back to the general, my subordinates are not afraid!" Zhang Liang replied again.
"Go ahead and take a small team to the northwest with the goal of rescuing the violinist." Leng Yan pointed to the northwest and ordered.
"What if we haven't found out or the violinist is dead?" Zhang Liang asked without accepting the order directly.
"You and the luthier will not die if we bring them back. You will not die if we don't bring you back. You will not die if we don't bring them back. You will be made the training staff of the third corps. If you die and the luthier returns, I will posthumously name you a martyr to protect the country and be buried in the town."
Under the soul monument, be worshiped by thousands of armies." Leng Yan mentioned three rewards in a row.
"My subordinates will definitely fulfill their mission!" Zhang Liang bowed deeply and turned around to leave.
Half an hour later, a group of people on horseback left Hewu Mountain and took a trail toward the northwest.
"I hope there will be good news this time, otherwise I'm really afraid that Daolin will blame me." Leng Yan looked down at the retreating team and said softly.
"General, who is this Daolin you are talking about? Could it be that he is a Taoist from the Imperial Capital?" the training staff asked in a low voice.
"Yes or no, Daolin is a strange person." He said with a smile.
The training staff looked at Leng Yan in confusion. Since the general didn't want to say anything, he naturally had no reason to ask.
………………
On an unnamed mountain, soldiers from the Shenwu Empire wearing black armor were guarding the way up the mountain, and melodious music sounded continuously.
At the foot of the mountain are densely packed red-armored Lieyang Empire soldiers, and the entire mountain has been surrounded.
"I hope the general will stop sending people here. If these beasts continue to besiege us for reinforcements, no matter how many more people come, it will be useless." The captain of a small team said angrily.
"Miss Qianxue, please stop, they have retreated." Daofang walked over with his arms covered, and blood was seeping out from the gaps between his fingers.
Qianxue let out a long sigh, her forehead was already covered with beads of sweat. She looked at Daofang and asked softly: "Are you injured? Is it serious?"
Daofang shook his head and said: "It's nothing, just a skin injury. It's just that we can't kill all of these people. What we lack most now is food."
There are a total of about forty people here. They are all the teams that came to look for Qianxue and the others and were deliberately sent in by the Lieyang Empire to besiege and rescue them.
"How long can we last with food?" one of the squad leaders asked.
There are now four team captains here, so everything is decided by the four of them.
As for Qianxue and the other five, they are all Qi Dynasty warriors. The reason why they came from Hewu Mountain was to inquire about the military situation, because there is a valley here, which is said to be the grain and grass storage point of Lieyang Empire, and they came here to investigate.
After their investigation, they confirmed that this place was indeed one of the grain and grass storage points of the Lieyang Empire. After completing the mission, they were discovered by the emperor when they were withdrawing, and they were forced to come here out of desperation.
After going up the mountain, the Lieyang Empire did not kill them all, but surrounded them. Qianxue and the others were relieved at first. It was not until the arrival of the first rescue team a few days later that they knew the enemy's plan.
In this way, one team after another was deliberately let in, and then began to besiege and call for reinforcements. Now four teams are trapped here.
"I just did an inventory. Whether it's food, grass or medicine, we can only last two more days." Captain No. 2 replied.
"It seems we have to make a decision." The first team leader said with a cold look.
"I suggest reducing consumption and persisting." The third team leader shook his head and said.
"What are you insisting on? Even if the general knows that we are here, he can't save us. If the army doesn't come, we will be trapped here and die."
"It's okay now. At least I have a good meal and still have the strength to fight. If I don't eat enough and starve to death and have no strength, I will only be manipulated." The first team leader immediately retorted.
Everyone present fell silent as soon as these words came out. They knew that what the first team leader said was actually right. Now they can still have enough to eat and fight to the death with the enemy, but in a few days they will have no choice but to wait if they run out of food.
Damn it.
The fourth squad leader, who had been silent until now, slowly spoke.
"Actually, we can try to sneak down the mountain under the cover of darkness. As long as one of us can escape and send the news here, the general will be able to save us."
"The reason why we are not coming now is because there is no accurate news. We are currently in a state of uncertainty about life and death, so we cannot send troops hastily. But as long as we pass the news back, the chance of being rescued may be greater. After all, no one wants to die as long as they can live.
