Three days later, Lin Nanpu woke up from the sleeping carriage. He suffered from back injury for several days, which delayed the March. This made him extremely ashamed, but he was helpless. He had to endure. How can he do without patience?
The burden of a hundred thousand troops is on him alone. He can't fall down at will.
"General Lin, we're going to Zhuoma city tonight. It's getting closer and closer to Xiliang city." Meng Hao heard the news that Lin Nanpu woke up and drove his horse to the car to see him.
Lin Nanpu turned pale and said with a strong spirit, "let's have all the troops repaired tonight and send a small army to continue to monitor Xiliang city."
"At present, the people and horses of Xiliang city are lying in ambush outside the city. Zhuoma city is the closest to Xiliang city. We can take this as a stronghold and a place for us to supplement food and grass." Meng Hao suggested.
"I've seen the map. Zhuoma city is high, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It's really the most suitable place for replenishment. Send someone to the city quietly to have a look. We'll fix it here tonight."
"Good." Meng Hao should go to work.
Lin Nanpu felt uncomfortable all over, and he felt more and more restless in his heart. He had been told to calm down by his reason, but he couldn't control his mood. He took a deep breath again and again and sent the medicine to his hand.
As soon as Lin Nanpu raised his head and drank up, he threw the medicine bowl to his relatives and then fell into a coma again.
Tonight's style is so big that it makes people drowsy. The soldiers march for many days. One by one, they sit on the ground, take out dry food and water to satisfy their hunger and then rest in place.
After a night's rest, the soldiers began to march towards Zhuoma city.
Meng Hao rode in the front, and Lin Nanpu forced himself to sit on the horse. He was almost desperate, but his fighting spirit was defeated by his seriously injured body. Now he is sitting on the horse. Every step forward, he will feel lumbago.
"We saw people you know in Zhuoma City, a man and a woman. They said they invited you to drink in restaurants in the city."
Meng Hao whispered back.
"Huo dieying and Yang Xuechen?" When he heard that men and women he knew wanted to drink with him, Lin Nanpu was the first to think of them. He frowned and listened to Meng Hao's report. He shook his head.
"These two people are crafty people. Don't pay attention to them. When you enter the city, you should avoid the common people. If you hurt the innocent, your majesty will lose his heart."
Meng Hao arched his hand and said, "OK, general Lin."
One hundred thousand troops went all the way into Zhuoma city against the sky full of catkins and the sleepy sun. The people seemed to have received the news of the troops coming. They all hid at home and did not dare to go out. The streets were empty and the teahouses were lonely.
Lin Nanpu raised 12 points of alert and took the army to walk in Zhuoma city. His eyes were always looking at the biggest teahouse in the East.
Yang Xuechen sat by the window on the third floor, waving a red flag in her hand and smiling at Lin Nanpu. She couldn't see Huo dieying. Lin Nanpu was more alert and looked for Huo dieying everywhere.
But when he wanted to speak again, he only felt dizzy and his eyes were more painful. The sun was shining on his head, and the uncontrollable dizziness attacked him. Finally, he beat the man who had been strong for more than ten days and made him fall from his horse.
"General Lin!" Meng Hao yelled, and the soldiers around him were in a panic. At this time, the strong wind in the city came, and the black army around him lost his backbone, and the winding team was in a mess.
The horses hissed and the soldiers were very upset. Everyone held their heads and roared loudly on the horse. Their voices were in a mess, but they couldn't hear each other's voices. Some people couldn't help taking out their weapons to attack each other. The 100000 troops were in a mess in the besieged Zhuoma City.
A man and a horse are trampled together, and a man himself is trampled together.
No one noticed that with the wind blowing in Zhuoma City, the catkins in the city became more and more dense, and the catkins floated in the air of the whole city.
Two hours later, when Lin Nanpu climbed out of the corpse pile and opened his eyes, what he saw in front of his eyes made him vomit out of his heart.
Hundreds of thousands of people and horses fell to the ground one after another, with their limbs all over the city. There was a strong smell of blood in the city. There were mountains of corpses in front of him. He never dreamed that it would be like this.
"General Lin! We've been cheated. The catkins are poisonous! " Meng Hao's hoarse voice came from the rear. He looked back and saw that Meng Hao was hung on the tree, and countless bodies were piled up under the tree.
"How do you know?" Linnanpu difficult over the dead pile, walking hard came to Meng Hao's side.
Meng Hao said with a bitter smile: "Huo dieying told me that she was waiting for you in the restaurant. This time our army was destroyed. It's not in vain for me to be a man when I died in the battlefield. I'm ashamed of your majesty."
Meng Hao finished, leaving a trace of dirty blood in the corner of his mouth, and his head drooped.
"Meng Hao!" Lin Nanpu yelled out, but it was too late. Meng Hao had lost his breath.
Lin Nanpu felt his dizzy head and looked at the restaurant on the top of Zhuoma. Huo dieying and Yang Xuechen still stood on the top and waved to him.I don't know if he was deeply grieved at the death of 100000 soldiers. He gritted his teeth and waded through the bodies of familiar and strange soldiers. It took him an hour to come to the tea house halfway up the mountain.
Huo dieying came over from the teahouse of the restaurant, looked at the man in front of him and said, "what do you want to say?"
"Why didn't I die?" Lin Nanpu's vision became clearer after he entered the room, but it was still a little blurred. He even looked at Huo dieying's face a little dizzy.
Huo dieying sighed and said with a smile: "you can only say that you are lucky. You fainted early with injuries and were buried under the corpse heap. It is your subordinates who paid the price of their lives and absorbed all the poisonous catkins in the air. You climbed out and came to me, so your life is very precious. It is the life of 100000 soldiers in exchange."
"The most vicious woman, why did you become like this? You killed 100000 lives in the blink of an eye." Lin Nanpu covered his chest and looked at the smiling woman in front of him. In his heart, he had no emotion except hatred.
Huo dieying looked at the mountains of corpses outside and laughed silently: "war is cruel. If these soldiers don't die today, they will die in Xiliang. They are fighting for the country for the sake of Xiao's brothers and become the bones for their brothers to step on the throne. What we both do is the tools in their hands. What else can we say?"
Lin Nanpu couldn't support sitting on the ground. He couldn't say a word in his heart. He glared at Huo dieying: "you have changed. You are no longer the kind-hearted shadow I saw when I was a child. Now you are just a merciless and cold-blooded woman!"
