Chapter 68 Firelight
A golden forest, bathed in the noon sunshine, a long-distance team was resting in a shaded place, and Li Li arranged for manpower to prevent attacks.
These days, it is not safe everywhere. Not to mention fighting, even in the peaceful season, there is still danger of being attacked by bandits when walking on mountain roads.
When they went to Qu'a, they did not meet bandits. Now they returned the same route, but they could not be careless.
Li Li walked around and confirmed that the alert was in place before returning to the middle of the team, but saw Liang Senzheng talking to Yang.
Liang Senzheng sat opposite Yang and asked the other party what they needed. There were still some people sitting around, so this was a very normal conversation.
Since that day, nothing happened. Yang followed Li Li's team back to Jurong. Liang Senduo was taken care of along the way, but the two had never been alone.
The one who is guarding against is the "melon field and plum blossoms". Liang Sen does not want anyone to have any misunderstandings about him or Yang.
After the childhood friend made a choice, Li Li didn't say much and walked past.
Yang glanced at Li Li and his gaze turned back. In the past few days, she had carefully observed and found that although there were many opportunities to approach Li Li, the other party was always following people.
Just now, when she passed by a steep slope, she thought of rolling down with her other party and dying together, but she couldn't get close to her.
So, I can only wait.
Of course, Li Li didn't know that someone would want to die with him, but because he was always wary of encountering bandits on the way, he was very alert and had no flaws in "security".
Turning elsewhere, another couple came into view, but Hu Wei, who was "stock trading to become shareholders", whispered to Mrs. Liu.
Hu Wei rescued Mrs. Liu, of course, he had to take Mrs. Liu and the team back together. The two extra weak women in the team would inevitably drag down the speed of the journey.
So Li Li asked someone to make two shoulder carriages (similar to later generations of slide rods) and carried the two women on their way, but the trip in the past few days was not delayed.
Li Li didn't want to have direct contact with Hu Wei, so as not to recognize him as "Yan Langjun", so he walked by and walked to the front of the team.
Next to a stone on the side of the road, Wang Wei sat on the ground, looking at the golden mountain, without saying a word.
He was wearing shackles on his hands, and he was handcuffed with a man at the other end, so if he wanted to run away, he wouldn't be able to escape.
Seeing Li Li coming, Wang Wei stood up. Li Li nodded to him, looked at the mountain pass ahead, and smiled and said, "I can walk this mountain road before sunset today."
"Yes, I'm done." Wang Wei looked at the mountain pass located to the north and did not move.
Li Li's smile was a little murderous intent. Wang Wei felt it. He had tidied up his clothes, looked at Li Li, and smiled softly: "Since that's the case, then I'll go on the road."
"It's easy to walk all the way." Li Li replied, and then Zheng Yuan approached and pulled out his sword.
Wang Wei sat facing north, looking at the direction of his hometown, and was about to usher in the end of his life.
Li Li actually decided from the beginning that he would not let him live to Jiankang. Wang Wei quickly figured out this point because of the "thunder".
There is no doubt that this method can be used as a weapon on the battlefield, and it is probably beyond human control. However, the Liang army did not use this method before.
The only explanation is that Li Li has selfish intentions and does not intend to present this "thunder" to the court.
In other words, Wang Wei judged that Li Li was ambitious.
Then, in order to keep the secret, as an "outsider" who personally experienced the power of thunder, it was impossible for him to arrive in Jiankang alive, because he might reveal this secret.
"I really want to know the secret of that thunder." Wang Wei sighed, but he didn't hear a response.
Looking at the north, Wang Wei remembered many things, and fragments of life kept flashing in his mind.
He was about to display his ambitions, but he was defeated by Li Li, a strange young man.
He didn't expect that his life journey would end in this way, but this is good, at least he wouldn't see the ending of losing everything.
"Life is like a white horse passing by, it's a pity, it's a pity."
Wang Wei sighed, and a fire flashed in his eyes, but it gradually faded, and then he felt a pain in his neck.
However, Zheng Yuan waved his sword, and the cold light flashed, bringing some blood. Wang Wei's body and head separated, and he was straightforward.
"Put his head, dig a hole, and bury the body." Li Li ordered and took the orders from both sides.
No, Wang Wei's head was placed in the prepared wooden box, and Li Li looked at the "serene" face without any emotional fluctuations.
There is no doubt that Wang Wei, who is a "missing", has a lot of talent and ability, and this talent and ability is what he needs.
However, the "thunder" (gunpowder explosion) cannot be known to outsiders, because he does not intend to present the gunpowder to the court, but to use it as his secret weapon.
In addition, he was unable to be sure that Wang Wei would serve him, so he made a choice: he would not allow Wang Wei to arrive in Jiankang alive.
I was afraid that this person would raise the emperor's questioning about the "thunder" and Li Li didn't want to bear such risks.
The reason why Wang Wei’s life was just to extend the “first-level shelf life” was simply to extend the “first-level shelf life”.
"Please hold it carefully, there will be no mistakes." Li Li handed over the wooden box to his followers, "You can't be in vain for a while!"
......
As the sun sets, Jiangshan, tides of soldiers rushing to the camp, and the afterglow of the sunset dyes the battlefield golden yellow, and during the period there are a lot of red and blue, intersecting, giving people a colorful feeling.
The soldiers of Hou Jingjun who were struggling to attack were wearing green clothes. After most of the day of hard work, they still failed to break through the Liang army camp. However, this time the charge was replaced by the death soldiers to take the lead.
Over the past period of time, the dead soldiers have provided good wine and meat, and women serve them, enjoy them with all their hearts, and have no regrets again. Only by fighting hard to the death can they be worthy of the marquis and kings.
They howled one by one, approached the camp with shields, and then stepped on the mountain of corpses, attacked the wall despite the casualties.
Many people were hit by crossbow arrows shot in front of them, and blood was flowing, but they rushed forward, hugging Liang soldiers guarding the base, rolling to the ground, and stabbed Liang soldiers who were held to death before being cut to death by random knives.
A one-to-one life exchange and suicide charge gradually defeated the Liang soldiers who had reached their limit. The soldiers who had been withered for most of the day gradually could not hold on with such a crazy attack.
The already shaking dam began to appear cracks. Soon, the breaking appeared, and then more breakings were made.
The dead and soldiers who attacked the Liang army camp suffered heavy casualties, but they also opened up a gap with their lives. A large number of soldiers followed up and struggled to break through the Liang army's interception and broke into the camp.
The Liang army's Jiangshan camp began to collapse. Hou Jing, who was supervising the battle on the spot, saw that his side finally broke into the Liang army camp and ordered the entire army to assault.
As long as he breaks through Jiangshan Camp, Jiankang is in front of him. It is only more than ten miles away from Taicheng. He looked at the fire ignited in the camp and his eyes were burning.
Liang's army raided Qu'a, and Wang Wei, who was passing by Qu'a, disappeared. He thought he had already died. He had no advisers who gave advice and his situation became increasingly dangerous.
Therefore, the only opportunity is to break through Jiangshan Camp, attack Jiankang, and attack Taicheng.
The fire lit in the camp not only illuminated Hou Jing's eyes, but on the other hand, Wang Sengbian, who led the army to rescue Jiangshan camp, was also illuminated by the fire.
The troops of the King of Xiangdong who had just arrived in Jiankang yesterday were ordered to help Jiangshan camp under the leadership of Wang Sengbian. Now the camp is in front of you, but the friendly troops have begun to collapse.
Seeing that the war situation was critical, Wang Sengbian ordered a trumpet to be blown. On the one hand, he informed the camp that reinforcements had arrived, and on the other hand, he encouraged his morale and prepared for the next fierce battle.
Amid the sound of the tide of horns, Wang Lin, who was on the right wing, also issued orders to her subordinates to welcome the fierce battle.
He rode a horse to travel for transportation, but most of his subordinates were marching on foot, so he dismounted his horse, had someone hold his flag and followed him, then pulled out his sword, pointed at the camp that turned into a sea of fire, and looked back at his subordinates:
"Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out first. When his subordinates saw Wang Lang leading the way, they were very excited, shouted hard, and rushed forward with Wang Lang.
Gradually, many people passed Wang Lin and rushed towards the camp like a tide.
