Text Chapter 301 The Elegy of the Empire

"boom."

Another section of the city wall collapsed, and volunteer soldiers swarmed in. Not to mention the east gate, even the north gate in front of us was in danger. Qu Chu and Qin Lei protected Qin Yin and evacuated Zetian Temple together. Lanyan City was defeated. It's settled, the Great Qin Empire has gone through more than 7,000 years, and finally on this day, the vitality of this ancient empire has come to an end.

...

The battle drums roared, and the bloody faces of the imperial guards carried the war drums to the city wall, beat the war drums vigorously, and shouted and cheered for the flying cavalry battalion that filed out of the city.

Chu Huaimin's battle armor was stained with blood, and his face was also tired. At this moment, the light of the morning sun fell on his face, and he was extraordinarily handsome. With his hand on the hilt of his sword, Chu Huaimin walked on the fly. At the front of the cavalry battalion, with supercilious arrogance between his brows, he watched from a distance the volunteer soldiers who were arrayed outside the northern city of Lanyan City.

The predecessor of this volunteer army was the private army of Zhennan King Qin Yi. It came from the elite army of Bailing City, one of the seven famous cities of the empire. At this time, there are still 150,000 people left in total. Leading to the defeat of Lanyan City.

Flying Cavalry Battalion, one of the only surviving imperial regiments, there are more than 5,000 people left at this time, and the former commander of this flying cavalry battalion is Long Qianlin. At this time, Long Qianlin has become the commander of the volunteer army in front of him. History It repeats itself again and again, like a reincarnation.

Long Qianlin was well aware of the art of battle formations, so he only dispatched one-third of his troops, 50,000 people lined up on the plain, and all spear and shield soldiers were arranged in seven circular battle formations one after another, mutually opposing each other. Arch guard, the spear pierces out of the gap in the shield, this is a tactic specially created for dealing with cavalry.

Among the crowd, Long Qianlin rode out, with a little flying color on his face, clasped his fists and said: "Commander Chu Huaimian, you are one of the four masters of Lanyan and Lin Muyu's brother, Qianlin is being polite here, if you Commander Chu is willing to surrender, with your ability, His Royal Highness Zhennan Wang will at least give you a good uncle, why bother to sacrifice your life for the faint and ruthless empire."

Chu Huaimian slowly pulled out his sharp sword, and said lightly: "The salary of eating the king, and the worry of the king, His Majesty Qin Jin gave me Chu Huaimian's honor and favor. Today, Chu Huaimian will use his life to protect his daughter." , and protect the five million people in Lanyan City behind him."

"snort."

Long Qianlin sneered: "Then come."

Chu Huaimian turned around on his horse, looked at the Flying Cavalry Battalion behind him, and said loudly: "I know, you were once the army of Wugu City and Long Qianlin's army, but today, you are soldiers of the empire, and it is important to defend your home and country. The bounden duty of a soldier is to kill with me for the five million people in Lanyan City behind us, even if our bones are buried in the ground, the soil under our feet will remember us, and this long mountain and river will remember us, kill. "

The iron cavalry of the Flying Cavalry Battalion raised their weapons one after another, their faces were full of hatred and anger, the sound of horseshoes gradually became more intense, and the five thousand iron cavalry slammed into the outside of the shield like a sharp blade, and their flesh was bloody in an instant Became one piece.

Chen Xi reflected some blood on Chu Huaimin's face, but the cloak behind him flew up, as if flying higher and higher, just like his dream.

"Ayao..."

The moment Chu Huaimian's long sword shredded the neck of a volunteer soldier, he smiled: "I am not a competent brother, but I am a competent imperial soldier, so be proud of my brother..."

...

Outside the main battlefield, strands of volunteer soldiers have entered the city from the east gate and north gate. According to the order of Lingnan Marshal Ji Yao, massacre the city. After entering the city, these volunteer soldiers will kill anyone they see, devouring them one by one like beasts. Looking at the life in Lanyan City, at this time, among the people who were busy fleeing, only a girl with a harp in her arms, a maid of hers, and several guards in the uniform of the Shenwei Battalion were seen swimming against the current among the crowd. On, go straight to the north city wall.

Zhang Wei rode his horse with a long knife in his hand and commanded the imperial army to retreat in the crowd. He glanced over, hurriedly flew over, and said respectfully: "Miss Zengxiang, the city gate has been breached, what are you doing here, hurry up Go out of the city with the exiled people, there is the only hope."

Zeng Xiang held the harp in his arms, but shook his head with a smile, and said, "General Zhang Wei, hurry up, I want to walk the last part of the journey with him on this broken city."

Zhang Wei trembled all over, his eyes were red, and he clasped his fists and said, "The empire is sorry for you, and also for him."

Zeng Xiang smiled: "Thank you, General, for your understanding, hurry up and save more people."

"yes."

Zhang Wei rode away on horseback, while Zeng Xiang carried the harp and stepped on the blood-stained stone steps, step by step to the dilapidated city wall, slowly put down the harp on a broken wall where the battlements had fallen, and knelt down Looking at the flying cavalry battalion and volunteer soldiers fighting on the distant land on the bloody city wall, she knew that the one she loved was among the crowd doing their duty faithfully.

"Xiaoyu, light the Qilin incense for me, and then you can escape too." Zeng Xiang murmured.

The maid was stunned for a moment, and tears welled up in her eyes: "Miss, miss, if Xiaoyu doesn't leave, Xiaoyu will die with you."

"No."

Zeng Xiang turned to look at her, with a soft face, and said: "You are still young, you haven't met someone worthy of your love, your life is still very long, and I... the person I love is there , my love will be wiped out with him, once Chu Huaimian dies, what's the point of Zeng Xiang's life, isn't it? "

Xiaoyu cried like pear blossoms and rain: "Miss, miss..."

"Light the incense, then leave, be obedient."

"Yes, miss..."

Xiaoyu lit an incense burner, and the purple incense was very strange, lingering around Zengxiang's body, and Xiaoyu cried even harder: "Miss, I..."

Zeng Xiang gently tightened the strings of the qin, straightened them one by one, lowered his head, and tears fell on the body of the qin, holding back his sobs, and said: "We must be together in life, we must be together in death, Zeng Xiang Live with what you love, and die with no regrets."

Xiaoyu cried and took a few steps back, and said: "If there is an afterlife, I hope that Miss and Commander Chu will stay together for the rest of their lives, and never suffer from the separation of heaven and earth. Xiaoyu will go."

As she said that, Xiaoyu jumped up and landed in the city full of rocks like the morning glow, silently.

Several guards looked at me and I looked at you, and they all waved their fists and retreated.

Zeng Xiang held back her tears and looked at the crowd fighting in the city from a distance. She saw Chu Huaimian's voice, and saw the bright rays of light bursting out of the star-picking fingers in the crowd.

No matter how sharp the sword is, it can still cut the heart of love.

The sound of the zither is full of the sound of Xiao Sha. This is the first time Zengxiang played the song "General Zou".

During the battle, Chu Huaimian was covered with scars, even the horse under his crotch was shot with wounds from the arrows, but the horse was running, and Chu Huaimian raised his sharp sword time and time again, and chopped the blade into the righteous man. In Bing's body, this seems to be a fate. The battle between Chu Huaimian and Long Qianlin is fate, and the love affair with Zengxiang is also fate.

The melody on the fingertips kept trembling, Zeng Xiang looked at the person she loved deeply, her face became paler, strands of blood overflowed from her nostrils and the corners of her mouth, and the sound of the piano seemed to be weakening constantly because of the passing of life. He opened his eyes vigorously, wanting to take another look at Chu Huaimin, but his vision became more and more blurred.

"ah……"

In the crowd, Chu Huaimian roared angrily, like the cry of a dying beast. There were not many flying cavalry battalion soldiers around, and the flying cavalry battalion had become history, just like Chu Huaimian.

"Boom."

The vindictiveness radiated soaring, and Chu Huaimin's star-picking fingers erupted again, blasting a group of volunteer soldiers into a pile of flesh and blood, but at the same time, a sharp arrow pierced into his chest with a "pop", and Chu Huai Huai Mian let out a wail, and tightly grasped the reins, but the scarred horse also came to the end of its life, and slowly knelt down.

Chu Huaimian struggled to grab the long sword, looked in the direction of the city wall, and saw a familiar figure slowly lying on top of Yaoqin.

"Ahhh..."

Blood dripped down his forehead and flowed into his eyes. The brave and invincible commander of the empire wailed, his tears mixed with the blood, and when he tried to look again, he couldn't see anything anymore. cut.

"Puff puff……"

Spears pierced Chu Huaimin's body one after another. He didn't seem to feel any pain. He swung the sword madly, bringing up a whole piece of human head, and shocked a group of volunteer soldiers to retreat one after another. Dare to step forward again, this commander-in-chief who is known for his talents and is one of the four masters of Lanyan, is like a wild beast.

The volunteer soldiers surrounded Chu Huaimian in a circle, but no one dared to kill him.

Chu Huaimin's body was pressed against the spear, and he knelt there. Tears and blood splashed down in the loess. Suddenly, he reached into his arms and pulled out a blood-stained ball with the last strength of his life. , said in a voice like a gnat: "Ayao, brother... brother is gone..."

...

Outside the battle formation, Long Qianlin rode on the horse, trembling slightly, bowed his head in the direction of Chu Huaimian and gave a standard imperial military salute, saying: "No one is allowed to touch Chu Huaimian's body, understand Yet."

"Yes, general..." A group of generals clasped their fists together.

At this moment, a herald suddenly rushed over and said loudly: "General, something is wrong. Lin Muyu and the people from the Long Dan Battalion have already been killed, and they can arrive at the battlefield in five minutes at most."

"He's finally here..."

Long Qianlin raised his hand slightly, and said: "Twenty thousand people blocked the north gate of Lanyan City, and the remaining one hundred thousand people let Lin Muyu and Long Dan Ying come in and surround them. This is a battle of annihilation."

A general asked: "General, you want to kill Lin Muyu."

Long Qianlin's eyes flickered, and he said, "If you kill a man's elder brother, and he has the ability to kill you, will you spare his life?"

"The subordinate understands."

...

The crowd of volunteer soldiers dispersed slowly, and the Gendan Battalion galloped in.

Lin Muyu rode on the Jedi, ignored the volunteer soldiers who were surrounding him, and went straight to the core of the battlefield, but saw countless corpses in the distance. The imperial purple flower battle flag was scattered all over the place, and the place where the corpses piled up the most was sitting alone. There, the commanding cloak that had been stained red with blood swayed gently in the wind.

That is...Chu Huaimian.

Lin Muyu's heart was in pain as if pierced by thousands of arrows in an instant, his body swayed immediately, and fell to the ground slumped, stood up scrambling, stumbled all the way to Chu Huaimian's body, hugging his already cold body Body, he could hardly cry, tears rolled down, hugged Chu Huaimin's body tightly, and screamed "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"" like a beast that lost a loved one,
