One hundred and fifty-four life and death farewell
Xuan Shaoning also asked Xinggang to cross the river immediately. No matter how Xinggang requested it, Xuan Shaoning's superiors ordered him to cross the river immediately without delay!
"Duan Lang, you can leave quickly too!"
"Where are you? You can't delay any more, the rupture will soon extend to our area!"
"I can't watch the Golden Armored Guards be trapped on the other side of the shore. I have to leave them a piece of ice that they can get through!"
"Just rely on you? How can you stop this Tao River? Do you see how turbulent the water flow is? Have you heard the wailing of the fallen person? Don't show off!"
"As long as there is a front-line opportunity, I will try it!"
"Do you want to be a hero? Most of the names of heroes are exchanged for their lives!"
"I don't care what others think of me! Duan Lang, we have been classmates for so many years, don't you understand me?"
"So do you understand me? Do you think I, Duan Lang, are the kind of person who escapes by himself at critical moments without caring about his life or death?"
Xuan Shaoning looked at Duan Lang's serious expression and he was speechless for a moment.
"Stop having unnecessary disputes. If you want to stay, I will stay with you. What do you want to do? Tell me quickly!"
"Okay!" Xuan Shaoning pulled out Jun Wu and tried hard to cut open the ice surface under his feet, "break the ice surface so that those cracks would not extend!"
"Are you sure this will work?"
"Do you still remember the method of burning some lawns to save themselves when you encounter a fire in the grassland? I just try it out!"
Duan Lang had no choice but to do it. The two worked together to cut a hole in the ice surface under their feet, but the scope was limited to the north gate of Anzhou City to the middle of Taoshui. They were not sure, so they could only try this first. The ice surface where the people had crossed the river had completely become the water surface at this time, and this section of the crack extended to the upstream until they were out of sight. Now only part of the ice surface in the downstream was left to cross the river.
Some of the people and the Golden Armored Guards of Geng Yan's troops were trapped in the north of Anzhou City. They were trapped in the enemy's encirclement. Faced with the fierce attack of the enemy, soldiers fell down every moment, while some people who were too scared began to try to jump into Taoshui and swim to the other side by themselves. This was tantamount to suicide. At this time, Taoshui was abundant, the water flow was turbulent, and the water temperature was cold. Once they jumped into the water, they would be washed downstream due to exhaustion of energy.
Xuan Shaoning stared at the changes in the ice surface. The cracks extended to the incision and did not extend forward any further. Although it also caused some cracks to the ice surface under his feet when splitting the ice surface, these cracks quickly became confined.
"It works!" Duan Lang looked at Xuan Shaoning incredibly, "Shaoning, you are amazing!"
"This ice surface can still bear it, and it can be left as a way out for them!"
"Hey! Come here! The ice surface here is not cracked!" Duan Lang couldn't help but shout at Geng Yan's army.
Everyone who had crossed the river on the other side of Taoshui also heard Duan Lang's roar. They all saw hope, because the two on the ice protected the last passage to cross the river. Especially Ling Feiyan, she was always looking at the other side, and the familiar figure appeared and the lame figure, every time she moved, touched Ling Feiyan's heart.
"Retreat to the rear of the right!" Geng Yan and Shen Yongnian were fighting while guiding the troops to the ice near Xuan Shaoning and Duan Lang. They fought hard to create a protective circle, allowing the people who had not had time to cross the river to go to the ice first, but the consequences of this move soon emerged.
"Don't run, the ice surface is very fragile, you can walk slowly!" Even though Xuan Shaoning shouted like this, no matter how much he shouted, he could not compare to the enemy's feather arrows.
The Tang soldiers began to shoot arrows at the people who fled to the ice. As a result, the people became panicked again. I don’t know who took the lead in running away. Soon these people began to run on the ice again. No matter how Xuan Shaoning and Duan Lang stopped it, it would be useless.
The consequences of running appeared. The surviving ice surface cracked again and cracked faster because the ice layer near the downstream was thinner, and the cracks wandered around the ice surface like poisonous snakes, tearing the ice surface one by one and swallowing people.
"Duan Lang, go quickly!" Xuan Shaoning pushed Duan Lang hard, turned around and shouted to Geng Yan: "Commander, come up quickly, the ice surface can't hold on!"
Siheng protected Chen Yongnian and went up to the ice. They met with Xuan Shaoning. Siheng urged the two to leave quickly, and he stayed as a supporter. Just as Xuan Shaoning and Shen Yongnian had just walked away a few steps away, they broke a big crack when they tested Siheng.
"Sheng!"
"We have a way, don't hesitate anymore!"
Ling Feiyan saw this scene. She wanted to jump off the ice to rescue her, but was pulled by Ling Tieying.
Xuan Shaoning knew that running would make the ice break faster, but he had basically no time left for him, so he couldn't care about so much. The two of them ran away, and the cracks under their feet kept chasing at their heels. They quickly caught up with them. They were about to reach the other side, and they jumped hard, grabbed the land on the other side with both hands and pulled them to the shore.
But when they turned around, they saw that all the ice surface was shattered, and the people who could not run to the other side were flooded by the river and disappeared in an instant. The remaining golden armored guards on the other side were still resisting tenaciously.
"Sheng!"
Perhaps Siheng heard Ling Feiyan's shout, he turned around and looked over. After searching for it, he finally found Ling Feiyan in the crowd. Yes, the person who had been waving his arms was her.
"Feiyan! Forgive me, forgive me, I broke my promise to you! But you must promise me that you must live well and become a female general!"
Through a Tao River, Ling Feiyan couldn't hear what Siheng said in such a noisy environment, but she saw Siheng waving at her. She could understand what he wanted to express. He was still alive, so she couldn't give up! Ling Feiyan started running along the Tao River. She wanted to find an ice surface that could cross the river, but after running for a while, she stopped again because Siheng was about to leave her sight. No, this was something she didn't allow!
"Sheng! You liar! You promised me, you will marry me!"
The battle on the other side of Taoshui is coming to an end, because the number of Golden Armored Guards is getting smaller and smaller, Geng Yan and Siheng are all over their bodies, and they are forced to the river beach. As long as they take a step back, they will be the biting cold Taoshui.
"Commander, we are afraid we will give our lives here!"
"Haha, even if we are going to die, we have to kill a few more enemies, so that's enough!"
Geng Yan smiled at Siheng, but then said in an apology: "But you have to live, there are still people waiting for you on the other side!"
Siheng looked back at Ling Feiyan who had been roaring on the other side. The bitterness in his heart had made him unable to control his emotions. His eyes turned red and his vision began to blur.
"Let's go, Siheng go!" Geng Yan pushed Siheng, and then he blocked Siheng and began to fight with the enemy.
Siheng gritted his teeth and jumped into the Tao River. The biting cold could not cool his hot heart. Instead of letting his body be humiliated by the enemy, he would rather hand it over to the heavens. This was the opportunity Geng Yan sacrificed himself for him, and he could not waste it. Siheng swam hard to swim towards the opposite shore, but the water flow was too fast and kept rushing him downstream.
"Sheng, you must swim to the other side!" This was the last sentence left by Geng Yan. As the last Liang Dynasty soldier who was still fighting, he died to the point. Even after his sacrifice, Geng Yan still used his last strength to let himself fall on the enemy. He hoped to buy some time for Siheng in the end.
Siheng had tried his best, and he had no strength when he swam in the middle of Taoshui, and his limbs began to stiffen. What's more serious is that Tang soldiers on the other side began to shoot with feather arrows. Several feather arrows were inserted into his back. Blood flowed away with the water, and Siheng's physical strength was exhausted.
"Sheng, hold on!"
Ling Feiyan took off her armor and stabbed into Taoshui. She swam hard towards Siheng. The soldiers on the other side wanted to help, but they had no feather arrows, so they could only watch Ling Feiyan take the risk.
Xuan Shaoning also took off his armor and jumped into Taoshui. He wanted to rescue both of them. Ling Feiyan was finally about to swim to the center, but Siheng had been washed away from his original position by the river. Ling Feiyan stretched out his hand to grab Siheng, but tried several times but was fruitless.
"Stand by, Siheng, I'm here!"
Except for his head, Siheng had all sunk below the water surface. He opened his eyes and looked at Ling Feiyan, and his floating hands wanted to touch Ling Feiyan again. Ling Feiyan was crazy and swam towards Siheng, but it was always a little bit worse, always a little bit worse, and he was about to catch it and miss it.
The Tang army still shot feather arrows into Taoshui, and some of them were plunging into Ling Feiyan. She had already put herself within the enemy's range.
"Let's go, Feiyan, as long as you live well, I will feel at ease... Feiyan, you want to live!"
Siheng shouted the last sentence and finally sank under the water. Ling Feiyan wanted to struggle again but was hugged by Xuan Shaoning from behind and swam towards the shore.
"Let me go, let me go! Siheng, Siheng! What you said, what you promised me, how could you lie to me! I have been moved by a man in this life, why did you steal my heart but don't want my people? Why, Siheng!"
