Forced marching is the most intensive method of marching. Infantry can travel hundreds of miles a day, but this method of marching consumes a lot of physical strength, and may even reach the limit of a person. Forced marching will not be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

When receiving the military order, the recruits were at a loss, but the veterans understood.

After a night of fighting, they took a forced march to support Zizhen after only two hours of rest. Even Lord Wu An and Wei Xu had never challenged this hellish difficulty when they were alive.

Yet no one complained.

They lay down on the spot holding their weapons, closed their eyes and began to rest.

Su Xiaoxiao seized the time to operate on the seriously wounded, and handed over the rest to the medical officers in the army.

In addition, she still left 2,000 troops for Jia County, led by Fusu, disguised as the Beiyan army.

Zizhen is 50 miles away from Jiaxian County, but because most of the roads are mountainous and dangerous, the forced march has brought great difficulty.

There was heavy snow in the sky, and the bitter cold wind whizzed towards the snowflakes. The army marched on the rugged mountain road against the bitter wind and snow.

Suddenly, a soldier slipped and fell towards the side of the cliff. Thanks to Zhang Yong who was right behind him, he pulled him over in time.

The army moved on.

"Chirp Chirp!" The five tigers in Jing Yi's arms flapped their wings and screamed.

"There is a situation!" Su Xiaoxiao's eyes turned cold, and she raised her hand, making a stop gesture.

One by one, the corporal leaders passed on the gestures, and the army stopped in an instant.

Everyone fell down on the spot, quietly ambush on the mountain range.

Su Xiaoxiao brought Jing Yi and Zhang Yong to a big tree, and looked at the group of people on the official road ahead through the shade of the branches.

"It's the cavalry and archers under Leng Kui's command." Zhang Yong said, "The man wearing the cloak and armor is Leng Kui. I know his cloak."

Leng Kui!

Su Xiaoxin recited the name silently, raised his hand to take the golden bow on his back, drew an arrow and pulled the bowstring, aiming at Leng Kui's head.

Zhang Yong looked at her in shock.

Jing Yi's eyes didn't change at all.

Anyway, if she kills him, she will kill him, no matter right or wrong, he only protects her.

The bowstring was fully drawn, making a creaking sound, almost snapping.

However, Su Xiaoxiao didn't release the arrow until Leng Kui turned the corner and disappeared at the end of the official road.

Zhang Yong's expression relaxed.

An indescribable complexity welled up in his heart. At that moment just now, he hoped that she would kill Leng Kui.

But she let Leng Kui go, and he was also relieved.

Leng Kui brought at least 2,000 cavalry and archers, and there were several generals around him. Killing him at this time would cause the two sides to fight. Fall into passivity.

Her heart is not only filled with personal grievances, but more about the life and death of the soldiers and the righteousness of the family and the country.

"Keep going."

Su Xiaoxiao put away her bow and arrow and returned to the team.

Leng Kui's life, she will come to pick it up in person someday!

...

Zizhen.

This was the fourth day that Qin Canglan led his troops to die in the city. They had run out of food three days ago, and when they were hungry, they grabbed a handful of snow from the ground to eat.

Qin Canglan took out all his pockets and bought food, but the food in the city had already been bought by Leng Kui, and the people didn't have much food left for the winter, so Qin Canglan gave priority to the wounded soldiers and patient.

He himself has not eaten a drop of rice for three days.

Starving and freezing is not the most terrible thing. What is terrible is that Beiyan has been attacking uninterruptedly for several days, and more and more soldiers have fallen. If this continues, they will not be able to survive tonight.

"The Generalissimo."

Liu Ren walked up the tower with vain steps. He was dizzy from hunger, his lips were dry and bloody, and he had chilblains on his cheeks and the back of his hands.

He took a steamed bun with both hands, handed it to Qin Canglan and said, "Marshal, please eat something."

Qin Canglan folded his hands behind his back, frowned and asked, "Didn't you be sent to the wounded soldiers?"

Liu Ren held back his sobs and said, "This is for Xiao Shitou, he... went."

Qin Canglan closed his eyes in pain.

This veteran who had dedicated his whole life to the Great Zhou had his eyes red helplessly at this moment.

Liu Ren said: "Marshal, please eat something first."

Qin Canglan said: "Eat it, I can't eat it."

Liu Ren said earnestly: "If you fall, the city will really not be able to hold on! Qin's army is already on the way, let's persevere... reinforcements and provisions will arrive..."

Qin Canglan looked at the flying snow all over the sky: "The Qin family army... I'm afraid they won't be able to catch up. Leng Kui took all the troops not to fight Beiyan to the death."

Liu Ren was startled: "Then what does he want to do?"

Qin Canglan said coldly: "Defend the Wengcheng and wait for the peace talks."

"This--"

Qin Canglan said with a complicated expression: "If the Qin army wants to come, they must first pass through Yaocheng, and Yaocheng guard Dou Xiao is Leng Kui's confidant, he will not open the city gate for the Qin army, unless someone solves Dou Xiao, but you I know it's impossible."

Su Mo is not here, who else at the border will go against the forces of the Leng family?

Liu Ren swallowed: "What if... What if something happened? What if something happened to Dou Xiao?"

Qin Canglan looked at Beiyan's camp under the city tower: "It will take at least two days to arrive, but look, Beiyan is preparing to attack the city again."

Liu Ren saw that they were gearing up for the car again, and he jumped up angrily: "Damn! It's over! It's the third time today! This is driving us to death! They must know that we didn't We are running out of food and grass, and we are exhausted!"

Qin Canglan said, "Don't get excited and save some energy."

After all, Qin Canglan didn't eat a bite of the cornbread. Liu Ren distributed the cornbread to other weaker soldiers.

After nightfall, Beiyan really launched another attack.

The archers on the tower were so hungry that they almost lost the strength to draw their bows. On the contrary, Beiyan's arrows shot towards the soldiers on the tower like a rain of arrows.

At the same time, the car under the city tower also slammed into the city gate.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Again and again, the winch in the city gate cave loosened, and the city gate was about to be knocked open!

Qin Canglan raised a spear and shot a Beiyan soldier who was pushing a chariot into the air.

However, in the blink of an eye, another soldier took his place. They were full of energy and energy, far from being comparable to the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty who had been hungry for four days.

"Build a ladder!"

Accompanied by General Beiyan's stern shout, towering ladders leaned against the city wall one after another.

Qin Canglan chopped off the ladder with a single blow!

A huge dizziness hit him, his whole body shook, and he held on to the city wall.

Beiyan soldiers climbed up the ladder, Qin Canglan led Liu Ren and other generals to fight the enemy bravely, the disparity in physical strength was too great, and they were fighting with hatred and obsession.

In order to protect a soldier, Qin Canglan was cut off by a Beiyan soldier who jumped onto the tower.

The general Beiyan under the tower was overjoyed: "Look, everyone! Qin Canglan is injured! He can't hold on anymore! Tonight, whoever takes Qin Canglan's head will receive a reward of 10,000—"

call out!

Before he finished speaking, a soul-snatching arrow galloped from behind, with a murderous aura, it shot off one of his right ears mercilessly!

"what--"

He covered his ears, bowed and let out a scream.

"General!" Beiyan soldiers exclaimed.

General Beiyan tightened the reins, turned the horse around, and looked coldly into the night: "Who dares to attack this general?!"

What responded to him was the uniform sound of horseshoes, the cold and chilling sound of armor rubbing, and the majestic shouts of the soldiers.

"Ho! Ho! Ho!"

The whole ground seemed to be shaking.

The Beiyan soldiers who were attacking the city suddenly became a little dazed.

Everyone voted (military pay), isn't that the end? ^_^ good night
