I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 42 Loyalty
"Tuen Chief?!"

"What's wrong with the village chief?"

"Wang Ling, what's going on!"

In the square in the early morning, all the generals surrounded Wang Ling and questioned him.

When they took the city fortress and came to report the good news to Shangguan, they were shocked to find that Su Yao was lying motionless on the stone bench and could not wake up no matter how much he screamed.

"Why do you have the nerve to ask me?"

Wang Ling's face turned pale and he felt extremely aggrieved.

He was a kidnapped non-combatant and had experienced too much today. Even though he had seen too many deaths, the sight of the blood pool still made him vomit again and again.

Wang Ling wiped the corners of his mouth and said bitterly:
"You are not useless, otherwise why would your benefactor burn yourself like this!"

As soon as these words came out, all the officers were speechless.

They vaguely understood, but they just didn't dare to believe it.

The Shangguan who seemed to have unlimited energy actually collapsed from exhaustion.

What supported Su Yao's explosion was the advanced talent of True Three Worlds combat players, a skill nicknamed [Unparalleled Awakening].

Su Yao's awakening skill [The Overlord's Arrival] is to instantly restore all status values, while also increasing the base energy value bonus by three times, and obtaining the highest level of domination in battle.

But the cost is also obvious. As a ultimate move with such a powerful amplification ability, the awakening skill only lasts for 3 minutes. After it ends, it not only has to bear the highest level of fatigue penalty, but also has a cooldown time of as long as 24 hours.

Therefore, the timing of skill use is particularly important, and Su Yao is not willing to use it easily.

No, just before Su Yao finished his ultimate move and gave the F2A command, he held his breath and passed out.

"I am so incompetent that I have brought trouble to the commander of the army." Cheng Lian was ashamed.

They knew very well that if Su Yao hadn't suddenly burst out in the end, facing the royal tent guards who sealed the door, they would have been destroyed.

“If you want to review it, leave it for later.”

Wang Ling said in a trembling voice:
"I will take care of my benefactor. Don't forget your mission."

Yes, their mission on this trip is to block Xiangyang Road, and they must guard it for at least tomorrow, waiting for Zhang Yang's reinforcements.

Retaking Huanglu Fort is just the foundation. Next, we must renovate the city defenses and start blocking the roads.

"I'll take someone to fetch water."

"I'm going to start sealing the road."

"I'm going to see if there are any other useful supplies."

"Then I'll go clean up the battlefield. We can't let our brothers lie on the roadside like this."

After confirming that Su Yao was just in a coma from exhaustion and that his life was not in danger, Cheng Lian and others took action spontaneously.

"But first, let's let the living ones rest for two hours."

Song Xian grabbed Cheng Lian and Hou Cheng by their collars.

The two of them looked back and saw fatigue written all over the faces of the surrounding soldiers under the morning light.

After a whole day of forced march, we climbed into the mountains, and before we had done much repairs, we participated in a siege battle.

This means that they are the elites of Bingzhou who will fight for the rest of their lives. In addition to their physical fitness, they also rely on an incomparable tenacity to hold on.

If it had been ordinary soldiers, they would have been lying on the ground unable to get up even if they hadn't dispersed in a hurry.

Cheng Lian sighed softly, knowing that he couldn't stop until he stopped:

"I will listen to you and rest for two hours.

Fortunately, thanks to the chief, we are progressing smoothly. After everyone has a short rest, we will deal with the urgent matters first, and then we can have a good rest. "

According to the positions of Huyan Junbu and Bu Yebu yesterday, they will arrive at the city tomorrow, and they have plenty of time. "The premise is that they will continue to swing at the slow speed before."

Under the shade of the tree, Jin Fangyan was hiding alone in the shadows. He neither participated in the celebrations of the Han army nor paid attention to their discussions. He just snorted in his heart.

The development of the situation was indeed going according to Jin Fangyan's expectations.

Bu Yebu, who did not receive a report from the scouts yesterday, greatly increased his marching speed. The hundreds of cavalry archers who went ahead arrived at Xiangyang Road at noon today.

Song Xianbu, who had just installed rolling logs, roadblocks and other equipment, almost ran into the enemy's scouts head-on.

"Made, am I guilty of Tai Sui this year? Why am I so unlucky?!"

Hidden in the woods on the west side of the road, Song Xian watched a group of ten-horse Hu scouts spread out vigilantly in the road, inspecting their new roadblocks below, with a look of resentment on his face.

He can't go back to the city now, and even if these barbarians expand the search area and dismount from the mountain, they will be exposed in minutes.

"Chief, what should we do now?" Xiao Bing asked.

"Wait!"

Song Xian was helpless
"We can only hope that the brothers above will quickly discover something is wrong."

He slowly raised his head and went all the way up the cliff adjacent to the east side of the road. There was the cliff at the back of the fortress. As long as someone on the mountain could notice the situation and shoot from a high position, the horsemen below would have no choice but to run away with their heads in their hands.

The question now is, is anyone watching here?

The answer is yes.

"Huren, what's going on down there?"

Han soldier Li Hei stood far away from the cliff and asked Jin Fangyan who was staring down the mountain.

"Chief Song has made all the arrangements. If nothing else happens, the party will be back soon."

Jin Fangyan did not lie but did not tell the whole truth because he hesitated.

"Okay, then keep staring. I'll squint a little for a while. If you find anything, report it to me in a timely manner."

As the saying goes, there is no coincidence, but how could Li Hei know? He put his colleagues below him in danger just because of a matter of face.

Yes, it's just a matter of face, not a dereliction of duty on his part.

In the previous siege battle, Li Hei injured his arm and was temporarily unable to engage in physical work.

So Li Hei was assigned to the back mountain cliff to monitor the Xiangyang Road below with Jin Fangyan, the eagle-shooter with vision like an eagle.

However, after arriving here, Li Hei discovered that standing on the top of the mountain and looking down was so frightening.

Li Hei could obviously face countless swords and swords on the battlefield, but here on the top of the mountain, he was so scared that he felt dizzy just by looking at it.

At this time when manpower is scarce and everyone is doing their best, does Li Hei want to go back and tell everyone that he can't do things because he is afraid of heights?
Li Hei couldn't bear to look at this face, and he thought that the identity of these Hu people had been exposed, and there was no way to turn back, so he handed over all the work to Jin Fangyan, and he only did supervision and reporting, and he didn't think there would be anything wrong with it. question.

However, just such a fluke made Jin Fangyan on the side fall into a whirlpool of moral choices.

Jin Fangyan hesitated about helping the Han people and being a traitor.

In fact, in this era, people's national views are still very simple and primitive.

It was not uncommon for Han border people to flee north to the grasslands because they could not bear the pain of taxes, taxes, and corvee service. There were also a large number of grassland ethnic groups who were recruited to serve the Han Dynasty, and they were extremely vicious when they slaughtered their fellow grassland people with swords.

Compared with the illusory nation and country, people at this time paid more attention to their close relationships with individuals, families, fellow townsmen, relatives and friends.

Those who can live up to the emperor's salary and be loyal to the emperor are already people with great enlightenment.

This was the case for Jin Fangyan. He believed that he was the Condor Shooter who was personally granted the title of Great Chanyu, and he had the obligation to stop these tribesmen who tried to betray the Chanyu.

However, after witnessing the night battle, Jin Fangyan uncontrollably became suspicious of his actions. This is war. It only happened to two hundred people. If later, more than two thousand people died because of a choice he made at this moment. Lost his life in a foreign land.
Perhaps if he was under duress, Jin Fangyan could still convince himself to obey.

But now that Jin Fangyan has the right to make independent choices, he is deeply confused about where to go.
