Chapter 125 - Triumphant
Chu Xiangtian stepped forward and tapped a wild boar on the ground with his toes, "This is a good thing, why have I never seen me so popular?"
Fu Tian looked at the panicked figure of the aunt who hurriedly walked away, then looked at a certain ignorant man, with his hands behind his back and his chin raised, "Who makes you scary all day long."
Chu Xiangtian was puzzled. He squeezed the back of the young master's neck with his fingers, and put his face in front of him, "Where do I look scary?"
Fu Tian looked at the handsome face in front of him, the man's expression was soft, and the sharp silhouette seemed to have become gentle. It was indeed not scary at all, but very pleasing to the eye.
Of course, this is only for him, not necessarily when viewed by others.
"Well, it's not scary." Fu Tian stretched out his hand to pinch his face, and turned in a betrayal in a second, "They are too courageous.
Chu Xiangtian laughed in a low voice, rubbing his palm against the back of his neck, "More and more naughty,"
Fu Tian took his hand down and held it, and the two smiled at each other, and walked back side by side, while still chattering.
"Should the grain and grass of the capital arrive?"
"Well, tomorrow should be here. The first team has already come to report."
"..."
The two talked as they walked away, and Zhou Chuanqing was completely ignored: "..."
***
The news of Chu Xiangtian's return had not been spread, and the foreigners took a rest for a long time, and then launched an offensive the next afternoon.
The huge wood was lifted and hit the city gate time and time again, and the city gate that had been attacked countless times made an overwhelming creak.
On the towering city walls, foreign soldiers climbed up the siege ladder without fear of rolling stones and hot oil.
Mulla Kili stood under the gate with a large army, with a smile on his lips.
As soon as the city gate opens, he can march in with a large army, grab enough food for the tribe to survive the winter, and even occupy the city, starting from Shanyu Pass, and gradually occupy the land of Da Chu.
The city gate that was hit continuously made a heavy "Boom Boom" sound, Mulla Qili raised the scimitar, the light in his eyes grew brighter, and he shouted, "Kill!"
The foreign soldiers behind him shouted together, "Kill!"
The horses stomped on the ground anxiously, and even the ground trembled.
Zhou Chuanqing stood on top of the city gate in armor, no different from the past, but at a height that Mula Kili could not see, he showed a good smile.
In the city, Chu Xiangtian was wearing battle armor, carrying a spear and spinning on his horse, his sharp spear head gleaming with cold light. All the food, grass and weapons in the capital have arrived at Shanyu Pass, and they have no worries about this battle.
The closed city gate suddenly opened amidst his shouts, and the foreign soldiers who charged with the giant wood were caught off guard, unable to hold back their strength, and directly staggered to the ground.
Chu Xiangtian's eyes narrowed, like an eagle and a falcon, firmly nailed to Mulla Qili's body, and the soldiers behind him uttered a loud shout. Chu Xiangtian raised his spear, holding his horse belly to move forward. Rushing, before the foreign soldiers on the ground got up, thousands of horse hooves trampled past, stepping on the flesh and blood of the foreign soldiers, and rushed towards Mula Kili.
Mulla Kili, who saw the city gate open, had a smile on his face. There has been no news of Chu Xiangtian before. The Chu people did not dare to fight the city. He expected that Chu Xiangtian would be trapped in the mountains, maybe early. There is no whole body. Unexpectedly, his life was so hard and he came back quietly.
The high mood of the soldiers behind him suddenly fell, and there was even a vague fear. Chu Xiangtian's name for killing gods was not for nothing, but was piled up on the bones of countless foreign soldiers. He was like a true and unsentimental killing god on the battlefield. Any foreigner who got in the way was one Do not stay.
As soon as Chu Xiangtian appeared, the morale of the foreign nationality had fallen a bit before the confrontation, and the soldiers of Da Chu reversed the downturn of the previous few days and were extremely brave and rushed into the foreign soldiers immediately after Chu Xiangtian.
The two armies were fighting, people fighting, horses colliding with horses, and between the collisions of swords and guns, the friction made a violent sound like cracked silk and jade, which made people's eardrums painful.
Chu Xiangtian took the spear straight to Mula Kili, and the spear slid out. Holding the handle of the spear with one hand, he stabbed the man on the horse with a powerful force.
Mulla Qili broke his left arm, his strength was not as good as before, and he leaned sideways to avoid him, raising a knife with his right hand to meet him.
Knives and guns collided, sparking sparks.
Chu picked the corner of Tian's mouth, and the spear quickly retracted and pierced out from the other side, hitting Mu La Kili's left side. Mu La Kili lost his left arm and his balance was much worse. At this moment, he had to backhand to block. Increased a bit of embarrassment.
But Chu Xiangtian seemed to see his powerlessness. Like a cat teasing a mouse, he repeatedly attacked Mula Kili's left side, but for a moment, Mula Kili couldn't stand it. His eyes turned slyly and flickered. Retreat with a loud shout.
A foreign general in the diagonal stab rushed over, trying to buy time for him to stop Chu Xiangtian's offensive. Chu Xiangtian's eyes condensed, and the spear instantly let go, piercing the foreign general's leader into Mulla Qili's chest, and piercing his heart.
Mu La Kili's figure paused, and then stiffly planted his horse. The foreign general yelled in grief and indignation, wanting to avenge the leader, Chu Xiangtian tightened his horse rope, and the horse stood up to avoid a blow. Then, without waiting for the reaction of the foreign generals, he dashed forward, avoiding the chaos of knives and guns, leaned forward neatly and pulled out the spears and swept out. The surrounding foreign soldiers retreated in horror, and they did not dare to step forward for a while.
Chu Xiangtian smiled contemptuously, took the head of Mulla Kili with the help of the situation, and picked it at the tip of the gun, like a sharp knife that divides the sea, broke through the flow of people, returned to the city gate, and raised Mulla Kili's head high, "Mula Kili Kili is dead! Kill!"
The soldiers of Da Chu made a high voice and rushed towards the foreigners with a crushing force.
The foreign tribe lost their leader and their morale fell sharply, but they were unable to form an army in a moment. The original leaders of several tribes saw that the situation was wrong and fled with the remaining soldiers of their respective tribes.
The poor bandits did not chase them, but the soldiers of Da Chu retreated in an orderly manner, shouting loudly.
The battlefield was piled up with the corpses of colleagues and enemies, armors bathed in blood, and spears rolled with blades, but this battle that lasted for several months was finally drawn to an end.
The first stage of Mula Kili was hung on the city wall, and the soldiers began to clean the battlefield. The bodies of the dead colleagues were buried and the remaining foreign bodies were cleaned up by fire.
As the fire was extinguished, the shadow of war that continued to hang over Shanyu Pass finally disappeared.
After midnight, the soldiers couldn't sleep, the city was brightly lit, the people hung out red lanterns with joy, and the streets and alleys were filled with people celebrating.
Chu Xiangtian and Fu Tian stood on the city wall. They had just won the battle. New Year's Eve was approaching. The guards were also called to drink and celebrate. Only a few soldiers in rotation were on guard in the distance.
The two stood side by side and held hands. Fu Tian felt the warmth of the palms and looked at the cheering and lively people below. He only felt that the past lives had disappeared like clouds and smoke, and that he could feel solid and real now.
"This year's New Year's Eve is going to pass at Shanyu Pass." Chu Xiangtian leaned close, hugged him from behind, put his chin on his shoulder, and pressed his cheek against his cheek.
Fu Tian nuzzled subconsciously, and the corners of his mouth were bent into a nice arc, "Well, it's good if you are there."
Chu Xiangtian sideways his face, his lips pressed against hiss. The two did not kiss deeply, just like that, if there is a seemingly non-existent drag, feeling the other's existence.
"Shall we get married when we go back?"
"it is good."
"The clan's elders are endless, no matter how long they dare to dare, I will personally ask the ancestors and gods to see who dares not to agree." Chu Xiangtian was angry.
Fu Tian smiled, "Okay."
It's windy in the winter night, but the hands are very warm,
***
After the war ended, it was not immediately possible for the class to return to the imperial court. The people of Shanyu Pass needed to recuperate, the relatives of soldiers who died in the battle needed comfort, and the generals who sat in Shanyu Pass had to be re-selected.
The months of warfare left a lot of problems. On the contrary, Chu Xiangtian was even busier than before. Soldiers with military exploits must be rewarded for their merits. After observing for a few days, he secretly remembered several outstanding young men. Soldiers.
Among them, He Xianliang, whom Fu Tian had not seen for a long time, was among them. According to the trajectory of the previous life, He Xianliang should have emerged in the Second King's rebellion. However, in this life, the Second King's rebellion was resolved in advance. He Xianliang did not leave home to join the army. Chu Xiangtian got into his army and arranged for someone to take care of him.
He was indeed a good martial artist, and the people who led him appreciated him. This time the border war drew support from the army, and he also went on the battlefield.
After several months of fighting on the battlefield, he did a lot of meritorious service and rewarded his merits, and he still sealed a Yueqi Captain.
Although the cause and process have changed, the result is the same as before.
Chu Xiangtian wrote him down and prepared to cultivate him well in the future. Although it is incumbent to guard the family and defend the country, he would be more relaxed if he had one more person. Why not do it.
It was already February when the army squad returned to the imperial court. The spies returned news that after the death of Mula Kili, the foreigners fled back to the depths of the grassland. Because of the competition for food, the tribes split again and killed each other. After the cold winter, the number of people was less than the previous half. Moreover, the various tribes are like dead enemies, and it is estimated that there is no possibility of uniting again in recent decades.
The crisis was completely removed, Shanyu Pass was temporarily taken over by the original lieutenant, and Chu Xiangtian and the others led an army in triumph.
The people in the city saw off after the army, and went back one after another until no one was visible.
The city of Qingyang was also singing and dancing, sweeping away the long-lasting downturn, the city was lit up with lights, and on the day the army arrived, Chu Fengyuan led his officials out of the city to welcome the triumphant army.
