[Traveling] Attacking Wife Trick

Chapter 44 Volume 43 The Last Battle

Today, the border forces between the two countries are very different, and head-to-head confrontation will definitely not work, and Ying Lan doesn't know when she will arrive.The state of Chu is about to make a move, no matter how persistent Daliang is in defense, he is afraid that he will be breached in a short time.That being the case, why not try again?They need to think of a well-thought-out strategy and then strive for a one-hit success.

"The most important thing now is to force back the Chu army on Guangji's official road, so that food and grass can be transported into Hulao Pass, and the threat of Chidu ancient city will be much smaller." Yingcheng told Ji Changxi, "Guangji Surrounded by mountains and forests, it is easy to hide, and the camp of the Chu army is behind the flat official road, so we can take the stone winding road, go around them, form an iron barrel formation, and then encircle them."

After carefully looking at the terrain map, Ji Changxi nodded and said, "It is indeed possible, but...the Chu army in Guangji is only a part of it, but there are quite a few of them. We can't completely kill them with our current strength, right?"

"It's more risky, but Chang Xi, we don't want to fight tough battles with the people of Chu State. The Chu army in Guangji brought a lot of food and grass. We used a stupid way to burn their food and grass first, and then sent a group of people when they were in chaos. The detachment fought from the front. The Chu army stationed on the side of Hulao Pass must have known the attack when they saw the flames. At the station, on the one hand, we want to rescue the Chu army on the Guangji official road, no matter how powerful Xuan Xiao is, if we focus on two things, we will definitely reduce the strength of the troops, and we may make them retreat dozens of kilometers from Hulao Pass."

"Although this move is dangerous, it is still a good way to take advantage of it." Ji Changxi looked back, "Then when shall we act?"

"Guangji Guandao is located at the mouth of the wind. In two days, the astrology will move north. Let's borrow a good wind."

The people in the account almost all acquiesced to such an arrangement, and now, there is no other way.Ji Changxi glanced at Ji Changling, and saw that the other party smiled at her.He understood that his second brother had completely lost his way out. Either the Ji family died or the Chu army died. The unspeakable feelings between him and Xuan Xiao could only be overturned in the yellow sand along with the blood of the war halberd. battlefield.

Back in his tent, Ying Cheng asked, "What happened to you just now? You looked so ugly."

"During this time, you have said that I look ugly every day, and you should get used to it."

"It's different from before." Yingcheng sat next to Ji Changxi, frowned and looked at him for a while, "Did you catch a cold when I went out to watch the night with Xiaohe at night? Don't go anywhere these two days, take care of yourself." Stay in the tent."

"Yeah, recharge your batteries and wait for two days." Ji Changxi smiled and turned his head to meet Yingcheng's gaze. He looked at the person in front of him, and he never took his eyes away.

"What's the matter, staring at you."

"My lord..." Ji Changxi hugged Ying Cheng, buried her head by his neck, and said softly, "Actually... I'm a little worried."

Feeling soft, Ying Cheng said softly, "Don't worry about Chang Xi, actually... I don't want you to go to the battlefield at all, but..." This is the reality, and we have no choice in reality.The apprehension and fear in his heart have never subsided. After arriving in Northern Xinjiang, Yingcheng always worried about gains and losses. He was often worried about whether Ji Changxi would have an accident and whether the Ji family could get through this crisis safely.Whenever he thought of the end, he would keep his eyes open until dawn.

"We can all survive." He comforted Ji Changxi, "We won't die."

Ji Changxi touched her stomach, and finally just leaned against Yingcheng quietly, without saying anything.

Two days later, the north wind picked up gradually, the clouds at night were thick and oppressive, and there was no moonlight at all.The dead leaves were rolled up and danced all over the sky, and they were all abandoned in the sand and dust.

Taking advantage of the darkness, a group of elite soldiers were dispatched from the Daliang camp.

Ji Changxi and Ji Changling went to Shipan Road together. This operation only allowed success and could not tolerate any failure, so everyone's nerves were tense.

The stone plate road is very difficult to walk, full of gravel and uneven potholes.However, because of this, no one would notice this path on weekdays.

They formed a circle along the position where the Chu army camp was stationed, encircling the enemy soldiers within the range.Ji Changling is hiding in front of the Chu army, and can launch an attack only after Ji Changxi moves.

After observing the surrounding movement and wind force, Ji Changxi asked everyone to be on standby at any time.

It is absolutely impossible to say that she is not nervous at this moment. In fact, Ji Changxi felt that her hand holding the bow and arrow was trembling slightly.A few days ago, if he was asked whether he could prepare for this battle without any worries, he would definitely give an affirmative answer.But after learning that he was pregnant, he hesitated, and Ji Changxi suddenly found that he would have such a desire to live, with the child in his stomach.He wanted to stay away from this place of disputes with Yingcheng and his family.It is fatal to have such thoughts, because people will be hesitant and weak, which is a very bad thing.

Suppressing all the thoughts in his heart, he took a last look at the dark sky, and his gaze became firm when he looked at the tent again. Finally, he whispered, "It's almost time."

Yingcheng stood guard at the Hulao Pass, looking at the peaceful Chu army camp not far away, his nervousness almost made him restless.As long as Chang Xi's side launches a night attack, soon there will be flames of war on this side, and a scuffle is inevitable.

Chang Xi...you have to be fine.

As time went by, Yingcheng's mood did not ease at all, but became more and more uneasy.

He kept walking up and down, not knowing what he was upset about.With the enemy at hand, at such a critical moment, one must not get in the way.

Just as Yingcheng was trying to calm down, Xiaohe walked in with a face full of struggle and confusion.When he saw Yingcheng, he hesitated to speak, but he could only sit on the chair dejectedly, as if sulking.

"What's the matter, Xiaohe? Is there any news ahead?" As he spoke, he was so excited that Yingcheng almost went out to check the situation.

Xiaohe stopped him in time, "No, brother Chang Xi probably hasn't acted yet, don't worry, my lord."

Calculated according to the time, it is time to start, why is there still no movement until now, could it be... something happened! ?

Ying Cheng's expression changed, he was a little uncertain about the development of the situation.

Xiaohe sneaked a glance at the other party's unpredictable expression, and finally, as if he had made some major determination, he said as if dying, "My lord, there is something... I must tell you."

"What's the matter?" Ying Cheng's mind is not here at all, so he just instinctively responded.

"Brother Chang Xi is pregnant with your child."

The words were spoken so lightly and quickly that Yingcheng couldn't hear them clearly, but his attention was still on Xiaohe, "What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly."

Xiaohe was a little depressed, and finally mustered up the courage, but the other party was completely absent-minded, and didn't take Chang Xi's matter to heart at all.Angry in his heart, he said loudly, "I said, brother Chang Xi is pregnant for two months, and you don't even know, my lord!"

It was like a burst of thunder rang in his ears, and Yingcheng was beyond shocked. For a long time, he frowned and said hesitantly, "Xiaohe, do you know what time it is? Don't joke with me."

"I'm not joking with you!" Xiaohe said impatiently, "It's true! Brother Chang Xi was not feeling well during the night watch two days ago. I checked his pulse and it was not wrong at all! But he refused I tell you."

Yingcheng was angry and anxious, "Nonsense! How can you not talk about such a big thing!"

"Because... because brother Chang Xi said that the Ji family and the child should not be able to entangle you, so..." Knowing that he was wrong, Xiao He gradually lowered his voice, "But it is so dangerous now, I am so worried about him. My lord...you ..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw that Ying Cheng had lifted the curtain and ran out.

At this moment, Yingcheng's heart is full of mixed emotions. He feels that he is going to die of anger, but his chest, which is distressed by Ji Changxi, is starting to swell. He can't wait any longer. Now, Yingcheng just wants to meet that person right away. go around.

However, at the same time as he whipped his horse, the beacon fire in the sky began to rise above the clouds.

Then, there were startling shouts and fighting.

That's too late!

Ying Cheng could barely hold the whip, he gritted his teeth, and went straight to the stone plate road.

Rivers of blood were already flowing on Shipan Road and Guangji Official Road, and countless dead bodies could be seen every step of the way.

The night attack was successful, but at a great cost.

In front of the soldiers who sacrificed all of themselves for the northern border, any retreat is a contempt for the dead.

Ji Changxi's body was covered with blood, there was other people's blood, and there was also his own.The food and grass of the Chu army had been completely destroyed. The soldiers of Daliang had more or less gained some advantages when the enemy was caught off guard.Then when the opponent reacted and started to fight back, the war officially started.

His shoulders and arms were injured, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, but he didn't have time to take care of it.After reuniting with Ji Changling, they led the few remaining enemy troops to the edge of the forest. The intricate terrain can buy them hope and time, and those who often fight know this.

It is impossible to know the situation of Hulao Pass, nor everything else. There is only constant redness and wailing in front of my eyes.

Ji Changxi only felt that the Dragon Spear in his hand was getting heavier and heavier, and his panting became more and more rapid. He felt that his physical strength was gradually losing, but he couldn't stop. After beheading an enemy general in front of him, he wanted to turn around He went to support others, but the pain in his abdomen suddenly intensified, and he almost couldn't stand still due to the pain, so he could only hold the Dragon Spear tightly and frown and stopped where he was, but the pain did not disappear, but began to become clearer.

He had a bad premonition in his heart, and almost panicked, Ji Changxi clutched his abdomen.The pain like being torn made him sweat coldly, unable to support anymore, he slowly fell to his knees on the ground.The fighting in the distance didn't stop, but he couldn't move.

The stomach is heavy, and there is a feeling of falling down.At the same time, he felt the warmth and wetness between his legs, and the faint smell of blood made Ji Changxi's hands tremble uncontrollably. He wanted to save that life, but the endless pain and blood gushing out told him that there was nothing he could do.

Great heartbreak and grief seemed to tear him apart.Ji Changxi understood that it was her own willfulness that killed the child.

At this moment, he really felt hopeless, but the current situation made it difficult for him to feel sad even for a moment.

His eyes were blurred due to the pain, and he reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.For a while, I couldn't tell whether the surroundings were enemies or friends.He vaguely heard someone calling his name, it seemed to be the second brother, but before he could answer, a faster arrow was already galloping towards Ji Changxi.

In the nick of time, someone threw him down in the forest.

"Are you all right, Chang Xi!?" A familiar voice rang in his ears, and then he hugged her tightly with one hand, "Are you going to kill me in a hurry! Why can't you let me feel relieved once?"

Ying Cheng couldn't hold back, but just after saying these words, he regretted it again.Looking carefully at the person in his arms, he found that something was wrong with Ji Changxi, his forehead and hair were wet with cold sweat, his lips were bloodless, and his eyes were a little wandering.

Startled, Ying Cheng said, "Chang Xi, what's the matter with you?" At this time, he also smelled the smell of blood, and slowly looked at Ji Changxi's body in horror, and saw the other's hand covering his abdomen. , and the blood-soaked clothes under the legs.

The heart beat violently a few times, and Ying Cheng felt that he was short of breath for a moment.He thought he understood what was going on.Wanting to touch that person's pale face, he heard Ji Changling shout, "My lord! Hurry up, take Chang Xi away first!"

His thoughts were interrupted, Ying Cheng said, "But Second Brother...!"

"Nothing, hurry up! You go first, I can get away alone!"

Forced by the situation, no hesitation was allowed, Yingcheng glanced at Ji Changling's direction, and said to Chang Xi, "Shall I take you away first? Come, Chang Xi, I'll hug you."

Not allowing the other party to refuse, Yingcheng bent down and hugged the man in his arms, whistled to attract the horse, and the two galloped towards the road back to Hu prison pass.

The road was not very smooth, there were feather arrows, charred corpses and weapons everywhere, but Yingcheng just wanted to get back to a safe place quickly.

"We'll be there soon, Chang Xi can bear it..." The voice suddenly stopped, and Ying Cheng's body froze for a moment, then he swung his horsewhip with difficulty, trying to go faster.

He didn't know how long it took, he felt that his eyes were getting dark, the person in his arms was coughing all the time, and the sky still didn't brighten, as if the night was infinitely long.

When the surrounding gradually became quiet, Yingcheng could no longer hold on. He got off the horse very slowly, and when he went to pick up Chang Xi, he finally lost his strength, and the two of them fell into the yellow sand together.

"My lord..." Ji Changxi lay on top of him, his voice was very soft due to too much blood loss, "Are you... injured?"

"It's just a small injury." Ying Cheng hugged him tightly, "It's okay..."

Putting his hands on Yingcheng's back, it was already wet a lot, and bright red blood gushed out from the wound, which was an arrow wound.

"I'm going to take you back..." Ji Changxi barely raised his body, he wanted to pull Yingcheng up, but the two of them fell into the dust again.

On horseback before, Yingcheng was indeed injured by an arrow, but he didn't want to worry Ji Changxi, so he didn't say anything.Now he feels a little cold and his consciousness is a little fuzzy, but he doesn't forget to protect Ji Changxi well.

"I'm fine...we can go back soon," the two tried to hold hands together, "I'm fine, and you will be fine...we'll all live on..."

Yingcheng felt very tired, but he knew he couldn't fall asleep.Climbing to Ji Changxi's side, he hugged her tightly.

"But...it was all my fault." Ji Changxi's tears fell on Yingcheng's neck, "I killed the child, I beg you...don't worry..."

"It's not...you...wrong..." Yingcheng said intermittently, "It's me... I knew it earlier, it would be great..." He couldn't speak anymore, and overwhelming fatigue rushed over him.

A series of hoofbeats galloped from far to near.Maybe the enemy army came after them... Was Daliang really defeated?Even so...can't stop the Chu army?

Forget it... I'm already, powerless.

He hugged Ji Changxi and let Huangsha slowly cover the two of them. He felt relieved, but at the same time felt endlessly sad.Everything in Beijiang, everything in Daliang, and the evidence that he has lived in this world will all be buried in the end.

Yingcheng used to think that he had too much, but at the end, he realized that he actually had nothing, and even Chang Xi was about to leave him.

Tears fell, surging, uncontrollable.

In this land of yellow sand, he made a silent and hopeless farewell.
