The devil is coming

Chapter 968 National War ([-])
Before nightfall, the barbarian army launched another attack, but the Chu army still withstood the pressure;
finally,
After leaving corpses one after another,
The soldiers who were still alive on both sides began to retreat, dragging their exhausted bodies soaked by the heavy rain, and gradually broke away from contact.
Gou Moli sat on horseback. This was the first time he came to "watch the battle from the front line" after the breakout battle began.
It is said that he was watching the battle because the command was still given to the generals below and he did not participate;
Even after being pushed back again, Gou Moli's expression remained unchanged. The Savage King who was best at boosting morale in the past seemed to suddenly become a Buddhist.
Closing his eyes, taking a deep breath, and exhaling it slowly, Gou Moli patted his helmet with his hand, turned around and returned to camp.
The morale in the military camp was very low. Gou Moli was sitting on the horse, with the eyes of many soldiers on both sides gathering on him. In their opinion, only their commander could give them strength at this time.
But the commander just silently rode his horse to the commander's tent, got off his horse and walked in.
There was no charcoal pot in the handsome tent, but there was firewood and dry firewood to burn, which was a rare luxury at this time.
Gou Moli took off his armor, sat down by the pile of firewood, spread his hands, and started a fire.
The sword master was sitting in the corner of the handsome tent, without opening his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep.
The rare dry firewood kept making noises in the fire, and from time to time, some sparks would fly.
At this time, there was a sudden noise outside.
Gou Moli remained unmoved;
Soon, the sound disappeared, and after a while, the guards came in and reported that the mutiny of some Chu servants in the military camp had been put out.
After Gou Moli finished listening,
laughed:
"Fool."
As he said that, he reached out to the Sword Master, and just when he grabbed the fried noodles bag hanging on the Sword Master's waist, he saw the Sword Master opening his eyes and staring at him.
Gou Moli did not take back his hand.
Instead, he said with a shy face:
"Take one bite, just take one bite."
……
"Just take a bite, General."
"I'm not hungry, give it to the injured brother."
"General..."
"Obey."
"Yes."
Xie Yulou put his knife by his side and leaned against a stone. He was very tired now, very tired, but once a person reaches a certain limit of sleepiness, he would not know whether he is tired or tired. No more, leaving only a feeling called numbness.
Diagonally ahead, many soldiers were huddled together, as if this would make them feel warmer.
Xie Yulou pursed his lips;
Just as the barbarian army on the opposite side was surprised by the steadfast combat power of this Chu army, Xie Yulou was also surprised by the...combat power displayed by this army that looked like the Yan army but was actually composed of barbarians.
In short, it is completely different from the expected savage.
Although I have been gritting my teeth and holding on, the problems encountered here are actually no different from those of the Savage Army opposite.
Low morale,
Visible depression;
The only good thing is that everyone already knows that their own army has completed the siege of the savage army in front, and the victory of this battle is in sight. Perhaps, it is because of this that everyone can survive.
Although, some people have already begun to curse, why the friendly forces have not launched a joint attack on the savage army in the encirclement net, but the savage army can still charge towards their side again and again.
The battle between trapped beasts is actually the most terrifying thing, and they are on the front line facing the battle between trapped beasts.
This is the most painful and difficult job. When discussing matters in the commander's tent, no general is willing to ask the commander for this job. This is risking the lives of his men to fight for it.
But Xie Yulou couldn't help it, because he was different from Xie Yi. Xie Yi was just a nephew, but he was Xie Zhuyang's adopted son, so his name had the word "yu" in it.
In this era, "righteousness" is very important. The so-called "adopted children" are actually the same as the "adopted children" who graduate every year in Jindong Academy. Whether they follow their own hearts or the moral principles of the world, they need to make sacrifices when they need to. , they must do so without hesitation.
Xie Yulou stretched out his hand and touched the wound on his leg. The wound was not serious at first. It should have been well treated by sealing the wound with his own Qi and blood, but during the fight, how could he use his precious Qi and blood on this kind of thing? place, so under constant pulling, the injury has worsened;
The most ridiculous thing is that there is already a tendency of ulceration.
There was already a shortage of food. They were running around and traveling with light vehicles. Apart from the necessary rations, it was impossible to carry too much food. Fortunately, they intercepted a food transport team from Fan City, otherwise they would have been there long ago. It stopped cooking.
But even so, the food storage was already very tight, because the food transported by the food transport team did not account for the majority. Instead, it was mainly herbal tents and some important parts used to build siege equipment.
When the team faced the Chu army, they also set fire to part of it.
Ha ha……
Really unlucky.
"General, can my subordinates help you take care of this place?"
"Need not."
Xie Yulou rejected the kindness of his personal guards. To clean the wounds, he needed to dig out the rotten flesh. In this case, he would not be able to personally direct the next fight.
He was very scared, afraid that without his command, those crazy savages would directly tear through his own defenses and rush out.
but,
A voice sounded in Xie Yulou's mind from time to time:
Perhaps, it is not impossible to let the savages rush out.
This is not fear, nor is it greed for life and death, nor is it passive avoidance of war to preserve strength;
Everything in the Xie family belongs to the head of the family, and also to the young master. Does he have anything to do with Xie Yulou?
The real reason is that,
He had thoughts with the soldiers and felt that the dawn of victory was just around the corner to completely annihilate the Yan army.
Xie Yulou clearly remembered what he saw and heard when he pulled the troops out of Guyue City.
He always felt... something was wrong, something was really wrong.
"What's... wrong?"
……
"There's nothing wrong with that."
Xie Zhuyang drooped his eyelids that were a little thick from the exhaustion of the past few days, and said this to the generals who came to report to him.
After speaking,
Patriarch Xie even closed his eyes;
With his posture, Xie's generals looked at each other, no one dared to say anything, they all stood up, saluted and left the commander's tent.
After the handsome tent was empty, Xie Zhuyang opened his eyes again. He was very tired, but not to this extent.
As the war progressed, the soldiers below were fine and looking forward to victory in a battle of annihilation, but the real generals had already smelled something amiss.
We are currently surrounded by soldiers and horses from the south. The wild army is attacking the north in an attempt to break through the road back. However, there has been heavy thunder and light rain on the east and west sides. It is clear that the siege has been completed, but no substantial attack has been launched against the wild army. blow.
Even now, he did not take advantage of this opportunity to attack the savage army from the north and the south, leaving the brothers blocking the attack in the north to bear the attack from the savages alone.
"You look very tired."
The girl's voice sounded from inside the handsome tent, and immediately, her figure also appeared here.
"Aren't you tired from fighting?"
Over this period of time, Xie Zhuyang has gradually become accustomed to the way of talking and getting along with the two women, one older and one younger.
They are not his subordinates, but they clearly feel that they belong to his side.
"Is it really that tiring?" the girl asked.
"You can try."
The girl smiled and pointed to her head:
"If I had this kind of brain, I wouldn't have embarked on the path of spiritual practice. How could anyone be proficient in everything in this world?"
"There is one," Xie Zhuyang said.
"Is that King Jingnan of Yan State?" the girl asked, "In my book and in the letters you gave me, he appeared repeatedly in the past period of time.
Is he dead now? "
"He's gone."
"If you leave, do you mean you're dead?"
"I don't know, but I can feel that he will not come back. He will not come back until he is dead."
"Have you met?"
"I'm still sitting here."
"Why?"
"That means I haven't seen him."
"Oh, that's why you're alive. Is this how heroes cherish heroes?"
"It's out of the question. Anyway, if he is in the Yan army now, I will feel that there is no hope."
"However, the regent's limelight should overshadow him."
"It's different. Tian Wujing gives people a sense of powerlessness, especially when fighting in front of the army. And this regent is not Tian Wujing."
"What I want to ask is, when the war here is over, will your son come back?"
"No rush, no rush." ​​Xie Zhuyang shook his head, "This is the prelude."
"Report!!!!"
"Report!!!!"
The messenger came quickly,
The scene that had happened before in front of the commander's tent of the barbarian army was re-enacted in front of the commander's tent of the Chu army.
"The Yan army cavalry appears at the air intake!"
"Yan Army cavalry appears in Shuize Bay!"
"There are traces of the Yan army in Shanshui Town!"
"........."
One after another, military reports were like huge rocks smashing into this already extremely depressing pond.
If the battlefield situation in this area is simply compared to a long strip, then it is now on the east side of the entire battlefield, from where the Savage Army is, to where Xie Zhuyang is now, and even to Guyue City. All traces of Yan Jun appeared nearby.
this means,
A large-scale Yan army has completed the strategic encirclement of the entire battlefield.
The turtle was not in the urn, but the Yan people forcibly built an urn directly near the turtle.
How many Yan troops are there to complete such a battlefield coverage? Their appetite is really scary. They want to swallow this battlefield in one bite!
"Homeowner!"
"Homeowner!"
A general of the Xie family impatiently wanted to come in and ask for an audience, but was intercepted by Xie Zhuyang's personal guards.
A black figure appeared beside Xie Zhuyang.
"Shadow, go tell the young master that his father is surrounded."
"Yes, Master."
The shadow took a deep look at the girl who was still standing in the handsome tent, and her figure began to disappear.
The girl took a few steps forward, looked at Xie Zhuyang, and asked:
"Aren't you afraid?"
"Hahahahahaha!"
Xie Zhuyang suddenly burst out laughing,
Then I wiped the tears from my laughter with the back of my hand,
Road:
"I'm so scared to death."
-
And tonight.
