Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 158

Chapter 158

Smoke billowed on the canal and plunged into a sea of flames.

The screams, panic, and Macha’s commands from the Uto were mixed together, and finally they were all silent as the fire burned the firewood on the ship, making a “cracking” tearing sound.

The east wind came late, but it came to Sheng. He seemed to know that he was late, and desperately refused to stop. Thousands of Utopian ships were connected by iron hooks. The fire came so fast that they had no time to escape, and they were all caught in the flames in the blink of an eye. It’s rare for a spirited Utopian, a little farther away, to cut off the attached iron hook with all his might, but the smoke billowed and he couldn’t tell the direction at all. There are hidden reefs everywhere, no Be careful and the ship capsized.

But at this time, the small boat of the Jiyang City Army actually played its advantage. The boat is flexible and has a waterway. Even if it is unclear, it is from Jiyang, no one who does not know the waterway and leaves easily. Even if it is implicated by the fire, everyone in Jiyang will be able to swim, and most of them will swim unscathed to the shore from the early potential underwater.

The Utuo soldiers were not so lucky. In this fire attack, there was very little that could escape. Even if they escaped, the morale was chaotic, and the military spirit was scattered. I am afraid that they will be defeated before they are attacked.

Under the water, He Yan and Xiao Jue swam to the shore.

At the moment when the fire was lit, Xiao Jue had caught her and jumped into the water, and the river water in spring was still cool. He Yan can swim, but when the water reaches her nose and eyes, her body stiffens unconsciously.

She seemed to have returned to the moment when He Wanru’s people drowned in the pond when she was in Xu’s house. The same is true. The sky is above the water, farther and farther away from herself. She is left under the water forever and can no longer see the light.

At the beginning, I could barely support it, but after a while, I became more and more unable to reluctantly. The physical discomfort can always be dealt with quickly, and the fear in my heart, the shadow left by something, can not be simply forgotten. of.

She gradually fell behind Xiao Jue.

Xiao Jue was in front, seemingly aware, and seeing He Yan lagging behind him, his expression was rare and painful, and he couldn’t help being slightly startled.

He Yan didn’t mention whether it would be water or not in front of Xiao Jue, but he certainly would. Otherwise, when he just jumped off the boat, he wouldn’t be able to support it here, but it seems that he is afraid of water right now?

This is also possible. For example, people who have been scorched by fire in the past will evade when they see the fire. The injured person who fell from the horse will never mount the horse again in the future, even if he was a horseman in the past. He Yan should know water, but he is afraid of water, probably just like those people.

As soon as he thought of this, he saw He Yan closing his eyes and his expression was not quite right.

Xiao Jue frowned slightly and didn’t even change her breath? She would be suffocated to death if this continued.

He turned back to He Yan, pressed He Yan’s shoulder, and tried to wake He Yan, but He Yan seemed to have lost most of his consciousness and did not respond to his movements.

Her expression was painful, she didn’t know what bad memories she thought of, even under the water, tension was faintly visible, Xiao Jue looked up, there was still some distance from the shore here, and she would die if she continued.

The girl’s face is close at hand, when she is underwater, her long hair has long been scattered, and the dirt on her face has been washed away, making her features look as transparent and fragile as glass, as if she was about to disappear underwater. . Xiao Jue sighed, took a deep breath, pressed her shoulder, leaned over and kissed it.

The breath continued to flow from her lips, and the suffocation was relieved a lot in an instant. He Yan felt that someone was supporting herself. She opened her eyes in a daze, seeming to see the handsome face of the young man in front of her.

Is it a dream? He Yan thought to himself, why did she have a spring dream when life and death were at stake? The object of this spring dream is extremely handsome, but the location is actually in the water, which is quite regrettable.

No matter how much, she won’t remember.

The chill slowly spread from his face, He Yan spit out a mouthful of water, and sat up all of a sudden, with Mu Yi next to him. Seeing her waking up, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: “Miss He, You finally wake up.”

This is on the shore, on the water of the canal in the distance, there is still thick smoke and a sea of fire. She still remembered that she and Xiao Jue jumped into the water, looked back, there was no sign of Xiao Jue by her side, and asked: “Where is the governor? Why am I here?”

“I just got on the shore and saw the governor coming out holding you. Girl He, you look like you have passed out. The governor asked me to take care of you and left by yourself.” Mu Yi scratched his head: “There are a lot of blacks on the bank. The trustee has come up, Jiyang city army is not enough, Miss He, you rest here, I will help first.”

“No need.” He Yan pulled out a piece of fabric from the hem of his jacket, tied up the long hair that had been scattered in the water, and stood up, “I’ll go with you.”

…

In the gourd’s mouth, there is also a fierce battle at this moment.

Previously, Liu Bu-wang used the formation method to trap a group of Utuo people. After the Utuo broke the formation, they fought fiercely with Liu Bu-wang. In the end, the morale was damaged and the greed for power went forward. When the gourd mouth, everyone was buoyant. Impetuous, I have never found a crisis hidden in the dark. Cui Yuezhi’s archer ambushing in the dark released an arrow and attacked a Utuo by surprise. At this moment, there are not many Utopians left, and they are fighting with the five thousand Jiyang City Army arranged by Cui Yuezhi.

“I don’t know what the situation on the river is.” Cui Yuezhi was thinking, and suddenly he saw someone coming and said loudly: “Master Zhongqi, the east wind is rising, and Governor Xiao has already attacked the Utopian ship. The Utopian people are now in chaos. The regiment is overwhelmed!”

“Really?” Cui Yuezhi was overjoyed, “God bless me, Jiyang!”

When the Utuo on the other end heard the words, his heart was suddenly upset. While instructing the soldiers around him not to believe the enemy’s tricks to disrupt the military’s mind, he couldn’t help thinking. They were arranged to go ashore first, and then the army would arrive later, but they met the swordsman in white as soon as they went ashore. They had been entangled for a long time just walking out of the formation, and it had been so long. It should have arrived long ago, why is there no movement now?

One blast, two failures, three failures. Cui Yuezhi’s end was more and more brave in the war, and the Utopians were retreating steadily.

“Children!” Cui Yuezhi shouted: “Fight with me!”

…

On the bank of the canal, the Utuo soldiers who escaped from the sea of flames fought fiercely with the Jiyang City Army.

When He Yan rushed past, there was a sound of swords facing each other around. There is no Cui Yuezhi here. The dozens of people who set fire to the boat with He Yan have spontaneously led by He Yan.

“The advantage of the number of Utopians is gone, at least the difference is not too big now.” He Yan said. The fire buried most of the Utuo people in it, and although the rest were more than Jiyang City, they were not too far apart.

“Besides, they must be in disarray at this moment, and they can take this opportunity to kill them all at once.” He Yan gripped the whip in his hand, “Go!”

On the side of the ship, she saw at a glance that Xiao Jue was being surrounded by Uto people. These are the cronies of Marcha, and it seems that when the fire was set on, Marcha could not escape from it. Seeing that the master was gone, the rest of these cronies were dead when they returned, so they all focused on Xiao Jue, and counted as one who could drag one back. If he could kill Xiao Jue, Xu Neng would make up for it.

The Utuo crowd were so dense that they rushed to each other and slashed Xiao Jue in turn. He Yan rushed towards the crowd with a whip, knocked down one person, kicked the person in front of him again, and retreated to Xiao Jue’s side.

Xiao Jue was a little surprised, and asked, “Why are you here?”

“Of course I am coming,” He Yan said, “I have said that I will advance and retreat together. I also hope that this time I will make a contribution. The governor will put me on the court and give me an official position or something.”

Xiao Jue sneered: “Think beautifully.”

He Yan slowly placed the whip in front of him, “Isn’t it a loss if I don’t dream of being beautiful?” He rushed into the crowd.

This group of Utuo is extremely cunning and cruel, and they only desperately attacked Xiao Jue and He Yan. The remaining Jiyang City Army was mixed with the other Utuo, unable to get closer at all.

He Yan was slightly annoyed, the number of Jiyang City Army was too small. At the moment, these Utopians are not fighting anymore, they are just gathering people to kill Xiao Jue and her.

“You have to deal with the leaders of these people first.” She secretly said.

She was thinking, but saw that group of Utopians suddenly speeded up their attack. It stands to reason that since they were killing people, she also caused them to suffer such a big loss anyway. I shouldn’t ignore her. But this momentum is Go to Xiao Jue alone.

What are they going to do? He Yan became vigilant. He subconsciously stepped back, trying to remind Xiao Jue, but when he turned around, he heard a “boom”.

On the boat of the Jiyang City Army that docked, with Xiao Jue and Utuo, there was a loud noise, just like a fire boat just in the middle of the river. He Yan was also blown to the shore. She immediately got up and looked into the distance. There was a sudden “buzz” in her mind, and she shouted, “Xiao Jue!”

The fragments of the ship were exploding everywhere, and the surface of the water was violently tossed. Someone came and pulled her hand back. It was Mu Yi, and Mu Yi said: “This is a firearm! I heard people say before, among the craftsmen of the Utuo people. , Some people can make firearms, but they are extremely rare. I didn’t expect that they brought one with them today…it must be directed at Du Du Xiao!”

He Yan had heard of it, but it was difficult to make firearms, and it was very expensive. Even if you made ten, it might not work. The Fuyue Army had limited military pay back then, so it finally gave up. There shouldn’t be many firearms for the Utuo, otherwise dozens of them could be thrown at the beginning. I wanted to see that Marcha was no longer there, and following the idea of losing both sides, he dragged Xiao Jue down.

“Damn it.” She gritted her teeth, turned and ran in the direction where the ship had exploded.

“Miss He!” Mu Yi grabbed her and said anxiously: “There are still remaining firearm fragments around. It is very likely that it will explode again. It is very dangerous for you to go now.”

He Yan shook his hand away, and Mu Yi had to persuade him again. When he saw her expression clearly, he suddenly stopped and let go of his hand.

He Yan turned and ran into the water.

There were more and more Utuo people around, she stopped in front of He Yan, she simply shook the whip, sneered, turned over and jumped up, snatching the long knives in the hands of the two Utuo, with the double knives in her hand, and the start. Without hesitation, the enemy fell between the knives.

She was restrained and could not expose herself with a sword, but at least she could use a sword. But what’s the use of this? If she could be earlier…A little earlier…He Yan’s heart suddenly choked up.

There was nothing on the water, only the fragments of the ship were floating, and Xiao Jue could not be seen. That person… the person who pulled her up from the desperate situation will remember her birthday, give her a longevity face, show her fireflies, laugh at her but indulge her in the spring, how? Will disappear here?

She wants to get to the surface of the water quickly and find Xiao Jue quickly. Lin Shuanghe is still in Jiyang, if he can find him sooner, maybe he can be saved. There are not many people who treat her kindly in this world, and the one who treats her best can never die.

The Utuo was too obstructive, He Yan’s eyebrows were cold, and the long knife in his hand was flying, making people dazzled. She also kept pace, only rushing to the place that just exploded.

Looking at the girl’s figure, Mu Yi only felt that there was nothing in the world that could hinder her pace. She stretched out her hand as agile as an eagle and as sharp as a knife. He didn’t know that women could do the same.

The Utuo rushed forward and was swung away by He Yan one by one. She moved forward like this, with the corpse of the Utuo behind her, and finally reached the surface of the water.

“Xiao Jue–” she shouted.

No one answered.

“Xiao Jue——”

He Yan bent down and tried to get something out of the water, but when he lifted his hand from the water, only the water flowed away between his fingers, and nothing was left.

Empty.

She was a little at a loss, so at a loss that she couldn’t tell what the uncontrollable sadness in her heart was. It felt like the day when she was suddenly blind, it seemed that the day when she was held in the water by He Wanru’s people, she was about to lose a very important thing, so sad.

“Xiao Jue…” she murmured.

At this moment, someone’s voice suddenly came from behind: “Say something.”

She turned her head abruptly, and saw the young man in black armor striding forward, and there seemed to be a touch of ridicule in the cool eyes of autumn water.

From the shore to the shallow water, there were all the Utos she had just killed in anger. The corpse fell aside, showing that the knife was exquisite and brutal, killing it all with a single stab.

The young man raised his eyebrows, and his eyes fell on the long knife dripping blood in her hand. After a while, he looked at her with a smile, “So fierce?”

The next moment, the girl suddenly rushed over, rushed into his arms, clasped his arms tightly around his waist, and buried her face in his arms.

The Jiyang City Army who was on the shore behind him were all stunned.

Xiao Jue’s body became stiff, and his eyes were slightly annoyed: “You…”

The next moment, he closed his mouth, just because he felt the body in his arms trembled so much. She had jumped into the water before and was almost suffocated to death by herself in the water. The coat was soaked and the armor was heavy. She was very cold when resting on the girl, making her especially fragile.

Xiao Jue endured and endured, and finally couldn’t help it, pulling her face out of his arms.

“What are you doing, I’m not dead yet.” he scoffed.

He Yan stared at him in a daze. This person stood in front of him with good looks, vivid and vivid, right in front of him.

She burst into tears.
