[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 257 [English]

Chapter 246, Night News

Huo Lingyun got on his horse, tightened the reins, and shouted: “Go to Luosha Station!”

Luoshan Racecourse is too far away, and even a pony cannot reach it. Huo Lingyun can only choose the nearby Luosha Station, which is close to Shasan Camp and is a supply station for Luoshan and Libei to deliver messages.

The horse’s panting began to worsen, and the weather was so hot that the strong Jin Yiwei had to rely on watering to avoid heat stroke.Huo Lingyun ran northwest from the Chashi River for two full hours. It was already dark when he could see the inn.

“Dead people,” Jin Yiwei raised his finger to scratch his nose and said from behind, “there are dead people here.”

A cavalryman fell in front of the open door of the inn. He had been dead for several hours. The ground was soaked with blood and turned black. The body covered in heavy armor would soon stink.

The Jin Yiwei dismounted, did not turn over the body of the cavalry, squatted down to inspect it for a moment, and said to Huo Lingyun: “This is a man.”

Huo Lingyun looked at the arrow on the cavalry’s back and nodded.

There were two arrows on the back of the cavalry. He took these two arrows and galloped to the inn before closing his eyes.

Jin Yiwei stood up, covered his mouth and nose, pointed the torch forward with his other hand, and said: “Here——”

he’s voice stopped abruptly.

There were corpses everywhere in the post station, and the postmaster was hung on the flagpole, like rags hanging out in the dead of night.Huo Lingyun took the torch, looked closer, and found that Yi Cheng’s head had been chopped off.

“The horses have all been hacked to death,” said the Jinyiwei who illuminated his eyes. “Even if there are survivors, they will not be able to reach Luoshan and Shasan Camp before dawn…The eagle is also dead.”

The door of the eagle room was not closed tightly, and the necks of the eagles that could not break free from their anklets were strangled.There were no survivors at Luosha Station, and all the wild dogs raised here were hacked to death.

The Biansha Cavalry has been here.

Huo Lingyun held the torch and fell into deep thought.

After the establishment of Luoshan Racecourse, it became the prototype of the information hub between Libei and Zhongbo. Therefore, Shen Zechuan built the place extremely strong.There are 800 people stationed at Luosha Station. There are not only the Libei Iron Cavalry but also the Zhongbo garrison, which is equivalent to a small military camp.Emergency reporting points are set up on all four horse paths, and watchtowers can keep watch on three sides.A few days ago, Lu Guangbai asked Luo Shama Road to be more vigilant. There was no negligence at all.

“The cavalry is good at raids,” Jin Yiwei said. “The raid on Bianbo Camp…”

“Bianbo Camp,” Huo Lingyun suddenly turned around and repeated, “Bianbo Camp…Bianbo Camp!”

In June last year, the Biansha Cavalry raided Bianbo Camp, detouring from the south and borrowing the road through Luoshan.Shen Zechuan and Xiao Chiye later blocked that road, but the area to the east near the Chashi River could not be blocked.

“The Biansha Cavalry has been here since the Xiande year and knows the terrain here well. The post station connects Luoshan and Shasan Camp, and it happens to be on the road that the cavalry used to lead to Luoshan.” Huo Lingyun jumped up the steps and opened the door.

“If we can avoid our eyes and sneak up here, there must not be many people coming.” Jin Yiwei helped and put the Yi Cheng down on the flagpole, “The one who sneaked in is probably a scorpion.”

Regardless of whether it was Scorpion or not, Ha Sen cut off the inn because he did not want the news of Luoshan’s attack to reach Libei, and he was delaying reinforcements.However, this group of sneak attack Biansha cavalry did not stop. According to the direction of the horse road, Huo Lingyun guessed that Hasen planned to let this group of people continue to go south, directly cutting off the connection between Dunzhou and Duanzhou, so that Duanzhou would be isolated and helpless.

“This is closer to Shasan Camp,” Huo Lingyun turned and went down the steps, blew a whistle, and called his horse, “We continue to go north. We will reach Shasan Camp before dawn and ask for help from Libei.”

Huo Lingyun could not reach Dunzhou, so he could only choose one way, which was to let the Libei cavalry of Sha Sanying go south immediately to support Duanzhou.But this means that Duan and Dunzhou have lost all news, especially Duanzhou, which is the first to bear the brunt. As long as the support of Sha Sanying is wrong, Duanzhou will be in disaster.

Huo Lingyun whipped his riding whip.

He’s time is urgent and must be quick!

The Jin Yiwei were chasing the stars and chasing the moon. They broke the silence on the horse road and moved quickly in the shadow of the trees.Huo Lingyun’s breathing was short. Because of riding the horse for a long time, there was a sharp pain in the inner thigh.The saddle is damp, and the sweat has soaked the cheeks. They have not had time to rest in the past few days, and they are like tight strings.

quick!

Huo Lingyun squeezed the whip tightly and raised his arm in the bumps. However, before the whip was struck, the horse under the seat neighed, put its front hooves together, bent its knees and fell out.Huo Lingyun immediately held his head and rolled to the ground.There were many ghost figures running in the shadows of the trees on both sides of the horse path. Huo Lingyun stood tall, drew his knife, and listened to the rapid footsteps breaking through the bushes and rushing toward him.

“Trip the horse rope!” The Jin Yiwei who was following closely behind reined in his horse and shouted, “There is an ambush!”

Huo Lingyun raised his sword to block, but it was useless. The opponent directly knocked him out with his body.He leaned across the ground and rolled to the root of the tree.There was a sound of wind behind him. Huo Lingyun grabbed the root of the tree with one arm, used his strength to slide up, raised his legs, and dodged the knife.

Scorpion… No, Huo Lingyun gritted his teeth and said, “It’s the cavalry!”

The elite of the Viper Division!The elites moved quickly in the encirclement, like a closed network.The “rustling” footsteps were extremely neat, like a twisting snake. Even the traces they left when passing through the sand were exactly the same, which made people feel hairy.

The scimitar on the left slashed hard at Jin Yiwei’s horse’s knee, but was blocked by the “bang” sound of the Xiuchun knife.The Jinyiwei stepped on the cavalry’s chest, then drew their swords and spun to the ground. When the soles of their boots touched the ground, the blade was like the sudden light of the sky, piercing the cavalry’s throat. Then they stepped on the ground and rolled back on the horse again. The whole set of actions was completed in one go!

The elites who failed to succeed all took half a step back. One of them touched his throat and said, “Jin Yiwei!”

Jin Yiwei turned over the back of the sword and wiped the blood from the blade on his lower back while sliding his arm, saying, “Jin Yiwei? I call them Jin Yiqi now!”

Huo Lingyun’s horse couldn’t stand up in fright. He galloped a few steps, took Jin Yiwei’s outstretched arm, and jumped onto Jin Yiwei’s horse.

“Libei has too much time to take care of himself,” Jinyiwei pulled the reins in the tight siege, “There are people ambush here in Biansha, and we will be too late when we reach Shasan Camp!”

“Go back -” before Huo Lingyun could finish his words, he held the knife with both hands, swung the blade into a semicircle, and knocked away the sudden scimitar, “Go back to Duanzhou!”

I can’t leave the north!

“Turn around,” Huo Lingyun said, wiping the sweat from his face hastily, “break out to the south.”

Hassen was too cautious. He slaughtered Luosha Station, not even sparing the horses and eagles, but left elites on the horse path heading north to be wary of possible caught fish.But this also gave Huo Lingyun a chance. Hasen had only a small number of elites left here.

“Fuck,” Jin Yiwei shook off the blood beads on the blade, “This sword was given by the emperor, but I smashed it to pieces!”

The horse was trampling on the spot, and the Jin Yiwei forcefully pulled on the reins and turned its head away.The cavalry on the side had already rushed forward, and the saddle slid to the right. The horse could not bear the gravity and followed.Huo Lingyun bent his elbow and hit the cavalryman in the face.The cavalry on the left climbed up like locusts. The Jin Yiwei held the scimitar and was knocked over by the force.

Jin Yiwei fell to the ground, and several scimitars immediately hooked him. He shouted with all his strength, holding the Xiuchun knife with both hands, and raised it with the friction sound that stung his ears, and blue veins appeared on the back of his hands.

“I can’t hold it anymore…” Jin Yiwei, bearing the weight of several people, lay on the ground with his neck raised, panting heavily, sweating like rain, his forehead throbbing, and he shouted with difficulty, “Brother… come on…”

Huo Lingyun ran away on horseback.

Jin Yiwei was almost discouraged and cursed: “Damn you…”

Huo Lingyun leaned on his horse and knocked away the cavalry. His tight lips were filled with a salty taste. It was not sweat, but the smell of bitten blood.After he ran some distance, he suddenly turned around, put the knife back into its sheath, and then drove straight back, his horse’s hooves trampling through the superimposed figures.

The Jinyiwei’s sliding arm could no longer stop him, and the cavalryman’s head was about to reach his face.At the critical moment, the pungent smell of the drug burst into his nostrils, and the deafening explosion sound was accompanied by the splash of plasma, which sprayed Jin Yiwei’s face.

Huo Lingyun leaned over and held Jin Yiwei’s hand, leading him back to the horse.

“Breakout,” Huo Lingyun was in high spirits. He took the lead with a smoking gun and rushed towards the south, shouting, “Breakout!”

Yin Chang raised his neck to drink wine. After he finished drinking, he burped several times in a row. He lay on the wall and asked the gatekeeper below: “Is there any more? This wine is delicious!”

The soldier guarding the gate moved a few steps and saw Yin Chang’s face clearly through the firelight and moonlight, and said, “No, you all, young and old, have a drink, we are still on duty!”

“I won’t drink anymore when I have a rest.” Yin Chang’s feet were a little weak, and he swayed drunkenly, looking at the torches on the wall with difficulty, “Hey, why are there so few bows and arrows? Come on, help make up for them!”

Before Fei Sheng reached the city wall, he heard Yin Chang shouting.He hid the newly brewed wine underneath, kicked it under the crossbow with his foot, pulled up the pocket cloth, and then walked up aggressively, holding Yin Chang by the back of his collar, and said: “Make up, people will come to fill it up soon, you go back to sleep!”

Yin Chang’s heels slipped on the ground, and he was carried away like this. He rubbed his red nose a few times and complained: “Why hasn’t General Lu come yet? I’ve been waiting for several days to see him again, and I’ve drank several rounds of wine.”

Yin Chang and Xiao Chiye went to the battle site last time. He was very excited to see Lu Guangbai and dragged Lu Guangbai to drink. Lu Guangbai vomited three times in one night and fell asleep in the tent the next day.Without saying a word, Zuo Qianqiu immediately sent someone to send Yin Chang back.

Fei Sheng couldn’t stand the smell of wine, so he waved his palms, twisted his nose, and said, “Stop talking, I can’t afford to embarrass this person.”

Yin Chang was not happy, waving his arms, raising his neck to look at Fei Sheng, and said forcefully: “Drinking will embarrass you? Bah, the old man doesn’t think you are embarrassed yet.”

Fei Sheng dragged the person down and exchanged his belt with the duty room.The patrols have been strict these days, so it took a while for him to sign.

Yin Chang took the opportunity to look for wine, sniffed around with his nose that could not detect the smell, and muttered: “Where is it hidden? Just here…”

He picked up the corners of his robe, knelt on the ground, stuck out his butt and looked under the bed.

Fei Sheng is still a bit tender.

Yin Chang tilted his head, put his hand in to get some wine, and said: “My little darling, eh, why are you so far away, eh…”

Fei Sheng turned around, put down his pen, and was about to tell the old man to stop, but at this moment he heard a very thin “crack” sound.He’s ears were so sensitive that he could hear the wind clearly, so he had to turn his head and listen carefully again.

The flag fell and the wind stopped near the city gate.

Yin Chang finally reached the wine, but instead of grabbing it, he kept his posture lying on the ground, smelling the smell of the earth, and shouted before Fei Sheng could react: “Enemy attack——!”

The heavy stone of the trebuchet hit the wall with a bang, causing dust to explode. Fei Sheng held his head to avoid the debris and listened to the loud sirens upstairs.The garrison raised its drumsticks, smashed them, and shouted: “The enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking, get up!”

Fei Sheng pushed away the soldiers and rushed up to the city wall. He gasped when he saw the front of Duanzhou clearly.

Yin Chang got up, patted the passing garrison with his scabbard, and said sternly: “Light the beacon and report to the governor quickly.”

Yin Chang stepped up to the city gate and pulled Fei Sheng over.

“Take your belt, lead the Jinyi cavalry to pack their bags, and protect the Lord Fu and all the gentlemen.” Yin Chang’s red nose twitched twice, and without looking outside the city, he pointed to the wolf smoke tower on the side, “If the wolf smoke here breaks out, Xiao Sheng, you will protect the Lord Fu as he goes west to Dunzhou!”

Shen Zechuan was not asleep yet, he was listening to Kong Ling talking about the dam under the lamp with his eyebrows pinched, and suddenly there was chaos in the courtyard.Qiao Tianya opened the bamboo curtain, and Ding Tao and Li Xiong followed him in. Kong Ling stood up and asked, “This is…”

“Master,” Qiao Tianya put on his sword, “The cavalry is attacking!”

All the gentlemen in the hall stood up with a “Ah” sound. Yao Wenyu immediately looked at Shen Zechuan and said, “The reinforcements from Libei have not arrived yet.”

Shen Zechuan put down his arms, stared at the candlelight, and said after a moment: “Duanzhou has not received any news. Either the battleground has fallen, or Luoshan has been lost.”

This room is full of scholars. Gao Zhongxiong, who has never experienced war, is even more pale. They all look at Shen Zechuan. Mr. Fu is the backbone of everyone.

Shen Zechuan couldn’t show fear at this moment. He straightened the lid of his tea and stood up.Ding Tao shook off her cloak and tried to put it on for Shen Zechuan, but Shen Zechuan blocked it with the back of his hand.

The prince of the mansion said: “The snow is coming from the mountains.”
