The Pearl of the Lady

Chapter 145 High Burning City Breaks the Dark Marriage (1)
Blizzards are common in border towns in October, and there is even a record of snow in August, which shows how bad the weather is.

The horse ran for a day, and as the night fell, the temperature became lower and lower, Gu Zixuan was shot in the shoulder, and persisted for a day, already shaky.

"General, I can't go, it's too dark, I can't tell the direction, I can't see the way." The soldier reported.

Gu Zixuan reined in his horse, looked around, and nodded, "Let's rest where we are."

He hardly had any strength left, and the wound on his shoulder did not stop bleeding with the bumps. As soon as the horse stopped, Gu Zixuan almost fell off the horse, and the soldiers rushed to support him.

"Participant, general."

Gu Zixuan opened his eyes, wanted to say something comforting, but couldn't say anything, just opened his mouth in vain.

"The arrow must be pulled out, otherwise the general will not be able to hold on." The soldiers all had this kind of experience, but no one dared to do it at this moment.

An older soldier ruthlessly slapped Gu Zixuan on the face, "Commander, Commander, the arrow must be pulled out. Nod your head, and I'll do it."

Gu Zixuan nodded, his voice was low and weak, "It's okay, just pull it out."

"Uh...ah..." Gu Zixuan let out a suppressed cry of pain from his throat.

The blood kept pouring out along the hole. Soldiers usually carried some golden wound medicine on their bodies. The veteran sprinkled the powder on the wound, tore off a clean cloth from Gu Zixuan's coat, and wrapped the wound stand up.

The night air in the desert is cool, and the soldiers dare not start a fire, so they can only huddle together to keep warm. To be honest, the night sky in the desert is very beautiful, deep and mysterious, and the stars are low, as if you can touch them with your hands Similarly, looking at the land and the people on the land unchanged from ancient times, no one is in the mood to appreciate such a scenery.

Gu Zixuan felt pain in his shoulders, but he didn't care about the pain. He gritted his teeth, thinking about what was wrong, why didn't the Liz people stay outside the city for such a long time, why didn't they give orders to expel them, why did the general soldier persuade him in the morning? I don't want to patrol by myself, is it a coincidence?As for the guards outside the city, closing the city gate is certainly a solution, but it also lost the opportunity. Why didn't the guards outside the city respond to the battle.

Thinking of this, he felt his head getting heavier and heavier.

"Commander, what shall we do next?" the soldier next to him asked in a low voice.

Gu Zixuan cheered up, "We have to go back, go around the west gate, there are forests, it's not easy to surround, the city is our territory, we will beat the Liz people into dogs when we go back, these grandchildren... "..."

The soldier nodded trustingly, "Well, we all have to listen to the general."

It was late at night, and Gu Zixuan didn't respond. The soldier thought that he was asleep, so he couldn't be disturbed, so he didn't speak. , Gu Zixuan's forehead was already burning hot.

Anyone who has been on the battlefield knows that many soldiers did not die or were injured at the time, but mostly died of infection after the injury. Fever was the first step towards death, and the soldiers panicked.

Other soldiers gathered around, "What should I do?" They also lost their minds.

The soldiers took off their robes and wrapped Gu Zixuan tightly. His cheeks were burning red all the time. The soldiers couldn't wake him up, and he was trapped in a nightmare.

The dream changed from time to time, the grassland for a while, bones everywhere, a bustling morning market for a while, and villages and towns that were slaughtered for a while. His eyeballs were trembling uncomfortably, but he couldn't wake up.

During the night when Gu Zixuan was in a coma, many things happened.

Wang Xi's team attracted a group of enemies and ran all night, but was forced to a place where there was nowhere to go, surrounded by enemies several times their size, what could they do?

"People of Zhou, surrender. We won't kill the surrendered generals. You can cooperate with us. You understand that we need to be familiar with the generals of the Great Zhou. Once my king succeeds, you can get a generous reward." The person who spoke seemed to be the same Little boss, they mistook Wang Xi, who was wearing Gu Zixuan's cloak, for a young general with ability and background who had been scouted out in the news.

None of the surrounded soldiers spoke.

"Jiu'an City can't be kept, your persistence is meaningless."

"The city walls of Jiu'an City have undergone several reinforcements and repairs. It is wishful thinking to open Jiu'an City in one day."

"What if someone opens the city gate?" General Na Liz said with a smile.

The surrounded soldiers clenched their hands.

"I... I..." a young soldier said, his voice trembling, he steered the horse and took two steps towards the Liz, and looked at his brothers with some anxiety and guilt.

Everyone was expressionless.

As if he made up his mind, he went there.

The Liz general showed an encouraging smile on his face. He believed that as long as there was someone who took the lead, these Zhou people would soon surrender.

Blood spattered far away.

The young man rolled off his horse and looked at the sky.

Wang Xi wiped the blood off his face with the back of his hand, and took the sword back.

"People from Great Zhou, don't be traitors."

He looked at the brothers around him, everyone's eyes were very calm.

"Be brothers again in the next life."

Almost at the same time, all 11 people committed suicide.

A man from Da Zhou should not be a traitor, and Jiu An's son should not be Liz's running dog.

Jiu'an City is broken.

The people woke up amidst the noise, someone opened the city gate of Jiu'an during the night, the blood of the soldiers at the gate splashed on the city wall, the gray city wall turned dark brown, and the smell of blood was pungent.

They tried their best, the knives in their hands curled, and their eyelashes were covered with blood.

"Where's the chief soldier?" The deputy chief soldier rushed into the chief soldier's mansion in a hurry.

But I only saw an old servant who shook his head blankly, "The chief soldier...the chief soldier left in the morning."

The deputy chief soldier laughed desolately and said, "Traitors are wronging the country." Holding the knife in his hand, he rushed back to the gate of the city.

The Liz people have always plundered the nation, like locusts. Once they conquer a city, they will spend it triumphantly, without thinking about governing the people or anything.
