Heroes in the Troubled Times - C286
“My family lives on the high slopes of the Loess Plateau, where the wind blows. No matter if it’s the northwest wind or the southeast wind, they are all my songs, my songs! ”
In the west, a round of red discs gradually immersed themselves. Multicolored light illuminated everything, and the entire desert was covered in red powder. Another “the sun in the west is about to go down” dusk, so that makes people think! The two flying horse s still trampled on the secular world in the desert as they ran towards the distant east, hoping to see a long and furious river. Behind them, the winding, undulating long dragon was about to fall asleep under the night sky. However, Ye Wuhai and Li Mingchao, the two generals, still rushed into the vast desert under the evening sky without stopping. In their hearts, everything had been thrown into the back of their minds. As long as they could get past this boundless Tengger Desert, they would reach their destination, Mount Helan.
Cloudy Yin Moon, Black Wind and Evil Sand, specks of light in the Heart Hall.
“Yes sir!”
Inside and outside the Great Wall, Helan Shan Chuan, Spirit Wu, Salt Pond, Dingbai, Yulin, Linzhou, smoke suffused, the sound of killing shook the sky. Luo He, Ma Lian, and the soldiers at the Six Pang Mountain were divided into three groups. The reinforcements continued to run like ten thousand li of long dragons towards the front lines of the battle.
Tongguan, Lintong, Xiangyang, Jing Prefecture, Danyang, Ba Prefecture, Jiannan, Weizhou … Each of them sent their troops to the capital to dispatch their troops. The entire nation, both within and outside the imperial court, seemed to be trembling as the earth shook and the mountains shook. The hearts of the people were in turmoil, and there was unrest day and night. Who could they blame for that? The border city was in danger. The imperial edict had been issued, “If the country is in trouble, then we are responsible.” Even if you have the “Thousand Wrath and Ten Thousand Hate”, how can you not obey? It was as if they were following the will of the people and following the trend of the situation. It was like they were saying “the people must return to their hearts and go to the outside world in unison.”
“Long live! Yulin lost his guard, and the general Zou Junchen was killed. ”
“AHH!” “Yulin is missing!” The Son of Heaven felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles. He stood up in panic and asked, “Where are the reinforcements sent by Lin Keduo and his men?”
“Reporting to the Emperor, Lin Keduo and his men have already reached the north of the Luo River, they are still a hundred miles away from the Yu Lin.”
“Order Lin Keduo to use all his strength to take back the Yulin!”
“Yes sir!”
“Wait!” And also send the Lintong to guard Yao Zhiyuan and bring him to the Yu Lin. ”
“Yes sir!”
Yulin, an important military site of the Great Wall of Northern Yi, had now been broken by the soldiers and horses of Chidan. The war had left it riddled with scars and holes, but this war had only just begun!
“Command the troops to advance at full speed!”
“Report —”
“Reporting to General Lin, the Emperor has sent General Yao Zhiyuan to assist the battle!”
“Good!” Good! It’s really good! ” Lin Keduo could not help but laugh: “Order the troops to rest here!”
“Yes sir!”
Linzhou, located on the east side of the Great Wall, cave river, another military pass. It was also in the midst of a battle of beacons and was in imminent peril. The Linzhou City was in fact the first fortress of the north; Yulin occupied only two of it. It was this Linzhou City that was connected to the west by the sun, the east by the river, the south by the pass, and the north by the barrier. Losing it was equivalent to losing a heart. Regardless of whether it was Qi Dan or the other countries of the Central Plains, they all placed the Qi Province in a very important position. As for the later generations, a hundred years later, from the chaotic era to the Song Dynasty, the son of the Volcano King Yang Chunxin was reprimanded, and the second son, Yang Jiye, Sun Yanzhao, and Sun Sungong Zongbao all stayed in the city to defend against Chidan, which was later called “Yang Family City”. Of course, this was something that would happen in the future. The reason why Lin Zhou mentioned it was simply because he wanted to know how important Lin Zhou City was. Its tall tower, just like a city on the west side of the river, the night sky a “red building.” The descendant of “Red Chamber” was Shiyun:
In the past, holding an axe to the border state, idling in the city for a long time.
I have seen the spearhead overtaking the white grass, even the poem is in the red house.
“Long live! “Lin Zhou lost Liu Ruyan and fled to the east.”
“A person who fears death!” Immediately ordering Li Jun Rui and Liu Tiejun to head to Yulin and Lin Zhou, the four forces must take down Yulin and Lin Zhou cities, and reject Qi Dan.
“Yes sir!”
“Ai!” Huang Aiqing, where are the Dunhuang’s Dao soldiers and horses? ”
“Reporting to the Emperor, according to the reports from the relay stations, General Murong did not lead any troops to He Lan.”
“Ah?” Why is that? How dare he disobey the order? ”
“Your Majesty, although the General Murong did not send troops to He Lan, he and a few soldiers have already rushed to the battlefield. I presume that they are now travelling through the Tengger Desert. ”
“Right now, the nation’s situation is critical. How can he be so stubborn when he lacks a general?”
“Your Majesty, the so-called ‘a thousand soldiers are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find’. The reason why the General Murong went to He Lan alone and did not dare to mobilize the troops of the Dunhuang was also for the safety of the border trials! ”
Hearing this, the Son of Heaven nodded and said, “Very well! I hope he can get to Helan as soon as possible and take over the post of marshal of war and war! ”
Outside the city, in the great desert of ten thousand miles, the two flying horse were still galloping at top speed. The rolling sand and dust could not stop the flying iron hooves, and could not stop the two fiery hearts.
Helan Mountain, northeast – southwest between the Yinchuan Plain and the Alashan Plateau; the mountains are lofty and steep, forming a natural barrier to the west of the plains and to the Tengger Desert. Gazing at the blue mountain, like a galloping horse, this is the Mongolian name for the mountain as “He Lan.” Tang Dynasty had a poet praise: “Helan Mountain orchard, Saibei River South old famous”, so “Saibei River South” has become a good name for the Ningxia Yinchuan Plain. However, the times have changed, and the world has gone through many vicissitudes. How many people knew of this so-called “Sai Jiang Nan”? Furthermore, at the foot of the mountain, which stretched more than 400 miles to the north and south, the war between the two countries was going on and a fierce “Great Wall” was going on. It really was like a:
A battle would be a disaster for all the people, and not a single one would be able to escape.
He had long been taught to live with his life on the line.
New ghosts, vexed old souls, the rain wet chirping.
Bai Li Ling north of three thousand miles, still Shandong 800 state.
“General Lin, the two of us will immediately rush to the Lin Province.” “Yulin will be guarded by General Li and General Liu!”
“General Yao will go first, and I will take the back. If anything happens, send more guards for Yulin! ”
“Soldier’s Country!” Yao Zhiyuan gave the order, and the troops, with the momentum like a long dragon, rushed towards the north.
Mount Six-Pang was known for its winding and steep mountain paths that reached the peak of the sixth layer. Its mountain range extended from the north to the south for about five hundred miles. It was the natural boundary between the north slope of the loess and the Longxi’s Loess Plateau, as well as the watershed between the Wei River and Jing Shui. It was at this Six Pang Mountain stronghold that Marshal Zhu Weideng and Vice Commander-in-Chief Yang Neng led their troops to the north, crossed the Yellow River and arrived at the foot of the Helan Mountain. They engaged in a bloody battle with the invading army of Chidan, and both of them died in the battle;
“Long live! The south of the mountain is where Dou Huang and the troops of the Pazhou thorny history Ma Wenlong are headed. ”
“Hm!” order him to head north at full speed, we must make sure that he refuses to retreat from the north side of Heran. ”
“Yes sir!”
“Your majesty, there’s a war ahead and we lack food!”
“What is it? The treasury food was sent to the northern front the day before yesterday.
“Your majesty, the situation is different now. The soldiers that toppled the country have been sent to the front lines. How many more days can the national treasury maintain its provisions?”
But now that the treasury is empty, how are we going to allocate the food and fodder?
“Your majesty, food is scarce. This is a first class matter. We should immediately dispatch all of the counties’ grain to the frontlines.”
“Alright! You will immediately supervise this matter! ”
At the foot of the Helan Mountains, the fighting was on the verge of breaking out. Both sides had to clean up the remnants of their troops and return to the mobile camp to prepare for another battle. On the battlefield, corpses, swords and spears, battle flags, and corpses of horses were scattered all over the mountains and plains … The smoke from the cigarette continued to rise into the sky. The smell of blood permeated the air above He Lan, attracting the attention of others. “Ga!” The screeching crow.
“General Zhu, our army has suffered heavy losses. If the enemy troops come again, I’m afraid we won’t be able to fight back.”
“What General Liang said is true! Our forces have been fighting with the enemy here for two months now, fighting in the south and fighting in the north. We have gone through many hardships, but we have not been able to drive the Ch’dan invaders out of the mountains. However, we have already lost our forces and have lost our morale. We don’t know when Lord Mu Rong, the Great Marshal of the Dunhuang sent by the Son of Heaven, will arrive here! ”
“It truly makes one anxious to wait! “Right now, Marshal Zhu and Marshal Yang have already been killed. Recently, we have seen that Ding Jieyang, Gao Zilong, Baiyun Guard, Meng Family Cola and other generals have all lost their lives. We can only wait for reinforcements and defend the southern border.”
“That’s right!” If we were to fight them to the death again, we will only be met with complete annihilation! ”
The Tengger Desert was vast and boundless. The coiling dragon city wall in the southwest and the Yellow River in the “Nine-Twisted and Eighteen Bends” had finally stopped its expansion in the southwest, south, southeast and east. The northern swamps, the Alashan Plateau and the Horan Mountains to the east, surrounded the edge of the Tengger Desert, adding to the mystery and danger of the desert. To cross this mysterious desert, no one could say just how much effort and tribulations they had to put in in order to reach the other side of victory. However, Hero’s Heroic Assassin could always arrogantly climb onto the high shore of the yellow soil!
At this time, Ye Wuhai and Li Mingchao, the two Knights were slowly walking on the Alashan Plateau. On the red sun in the east, it quietly climbed up to the summit of Helan Mountain. The bright and beautiful morning light shone down on the highlands, sending out thousands of beams of golden light. It was the morning of April twenty-sixth. What an enchanting morning, with a picturesque sky, a red sun, mountains, deserts, plains, and highlands ahead, who would want to have a brutal war lurking behind this picturesque landscape?
“General Li, we’ve finally passed through the desert, Helan Mountain is just ahead.”
“We’ve gone through a lot to get here, but soon we’re going to go to war again.”
“That’s right!” War is cruel. Perhaps only war can satisfy the heart of the greedy, and perhaps only war can lead to peace and harmony. ”
“General Ye, before you went to He Lan to take up the position of commander-in-chief this time, I always felt that you should have some background in retreating from the enemy. Only then would you be able to gain trust in the army and serve the masses.”
“What do you think we should do?”
“Amongst the million soldiers, take the general’s head!”
“It’s like this!” Ye Wuhai could not help but be shocked, and said: “Indeed, we should take this risk!”
“General Ye, if you make up your mind, I am willing to go through fire and water with you.”
“Good!” Capture the thief and capture the king! I have decided to sneak into the enemy’s camp and take the general’s head! ”
After another person finished speaking, they held hands and looked ahead again. They hit their horses and sped up.
“Long live! Lin Zhou City has been taken back by our army! ”
“Good!” Order Li Jun Rui, Liu Tiejun, Lin Keduo, and the others to take advantage of this victory and pursue, and chase away the Qi Dan invaders!
“Yes sir!”
“Hahaha …” The Son of Heaven’s victory was reported to him. He couldn’t help but laugh out loud and said, “I want to destroy the kingdom’s weapons, to take advantage of the victory to pursue and kill all the Ch’dan!”
Such grandeur, just like when the Qin Shi Huang attacked the six nations. That high and mighty aura had finally revealed his true identity as the dragon and sky son. However, when this scene entered Chen Tian’s eyes, he rejoiced inwardly. In fact, only he knew in his heart that this massacre, which had been set up by the crown prince Cheng Fugui, was being used by Yelv Abaoji, the emperor of Qi Dan country, to buy him and the assassins under his jurisdiction. However, just as the martial arts Lin war was still in chaos, the two countries had finally started another large-scale war. As a nation, although he had openly helped the Son of Heaven poison Martial Spirit, he had also been secretly helped by Yelv Abaoji to do double espionage and was acting on his own. He saw now that the Son of Heaven was about to take command of the army against Chidan, and that this was a good time for him to “take advantage of the situation.” As long as both sides were killed and both sides were severely injured, he would once again dispatch the disguised Yang Neng Vice Commander-in-Chief to lead the defeated troops to defeat the two remnants of the army, to guard the outer barrier. This would form a solid foundation for him to rule the entire world.
However, Ye Wuhai, who was still loyal to the capital in the beginning, had no idea that the real cause and culprit of this Martial Forest Calamity was still hiding a deeper secret. He had once deduced from his book《 The Heroic Soul in a Chaotic World》 that, other than the “Swallow Mountain Wave Devil” and Aliye Ku’er, the other two people he had seen and heard from the top of great geese pagoda were Master Fa Sen and Chen Tian Zhong. And this was later confirmed. This was what he considered to be the “Four-man State Group” of the Wulin disaster. Later on, he realized that the “four main culprits” of the Martial Lin Apocalypse were not simply “dominating the martial arts world and fighting for the world”, but a great slaughter of the martial arts world that was a part of the Yale family’s “invading by martial arts” and even disintegrating the empire of the Central Plains. However, the world is complicated, once “a few times of sunset red”! He, Ye Wuhai, would never think of a conspiracy like this. The mastermind behind the plot was the real reason, but he had always believed that the Lord of the Enlightenment, Cheng Fugui, was born to this day in order to become the Son of Heaven!
At this point, we can’t help but think of “the first in the world to fight, the East, the Golden Spear to dominate.” A sentence that was said in the first chapter — “However, the real cause and culprit of this Wu Lin Apocalypse, please continue to read on. Perhaps, you will be shocked by it! ”
Yes, this story had developed to this day. Could it be that the cause and culprit of this Wu Lin Apocalypse had already been clearly revealed? The answer here could only be, “What appears on the surface is the most hypocritical of all. What is concealed underneath is all the true essence.” Therefore, the story in the future would make people feel that their understanding of the world was like a catch in the wind, forever confusing and full of mystery!
On a dark night when the wind was high and the moon was dark, at the foot of the Helan Mountains, the Qidan military camp was suddenly in chaos.
The next morning, April 27, was the main camp of the Central Plains. There were underlings reporting that two of the Chidanians had come to see him with the heads of Marshal Yeruaba. Because of this, the deputy generals Zhu Tianxiang, Liang Zheng, and the others had doubts in their hearts, and so they left the camp to check it out.
When they arrived at the entrance of the encampment, they saw two blood-faced soldiers waiting in the saddle. Although the two of them looked completely different, Zhu Tianxiang could still tell that one of them looked familiar. It seemed that one of them was Ye Wuhai, who had died in the Black Tortoise Sect, and the other one was the missing top scholar Ye Tianyun. Without waiting for him to start questioning, that person fished out a letter and handed it to Zhu Tianxiang. Zhu Tianxiang looked at it and realized that it was the Son of Heaven’s orders. He had ordered the Dunhuang’s general guard to come to He Lan for reinforcements. He was Murong Tianshui, who had come under the command of the Son of Heaven to take over the position of marshal. Zhu Tian Xiang and the other generals were ecstatic, they anxiously brought Murong Tianshui and his group into the camp.
After chatting for a while, Zhu Tian Xiang and the other generals finally knew that the new Marshal Murong Tianshui was the wuxiaozhuan Ye Wuhai that they had been admiring for a long time. Very quickly, the news of the entire army being applauded spread like wildfire. And because Ye Wuhai had killed off the General Yeruaba of Chidan, his head was left hanging in the army camp. In a short while, the morale of the troops in the Central Plains rose greatly. They couldn’t help but admire the brilliant victory of the newly appointed marshal Ye Wuhai. Don’t underestimate the Marshal Jer for taking just one head of Yale Abba, but this way, the Chidan army would lose their leader and their morale would plummet. In contrast, the new commander of the Central Plains army will be able to penetrate the rainbow and drive the army to the north of Helan Mountain in one breath.
