Angry Banana
Chapter 240: The Road Home (6)
July 11th of the 9th year of Jinghan, at the border of Huzhou and Hangzhou, past noon, the overcast clouds filling the sky seemed to cast the world into an afternoon gloom, with thunderstorms gathering. Within the camp, thousands of remnants of the Wude Battalion began gathering towards the open ground.
不安的情绪在人群间弥漫，主营帐那边，如今能参与到逃亡队伍高层的将领、士绅在这阴沉的气氛中激烈的争吵，也有性格相对暴烈的，看起来简直想要动手，随后又被周围的人拦下。
A sense of unease permeated the crowd. Near the main tent, the generals and gentry who were now part of the fleeing group's leadership were engaged in heated arguments in this gloomy atmosphere. Some, with more violent tendencies, looked as if they were about to fight, but were held back by those around them.
不光是这里，有关陆鞘的军队发现了众人躲避的方向，此时正朝这边奔来的消息，也已经渐渐散布到了军队当中。平民间此时也有了些许的耳闻，但骚乱在一时间并没有起来，因为如果事情是真的，众人现在甚至连鲁莽的决定都没办法做出来，往后是即将下雨的河流湖泊，往前是自投罗网，谁也不知道该往哪里逃。
Not only here, but the news that Lu Qiao's army had discovered their direction of escape and was now rushing towards them had gradually spread among the troops. Civilians had also heard some rumors, but no immediate unrest arose, because if it were true, they couldn't even make rash decisions. Behind them were rivers and lakes about to be flooded by rain, and ahead was certain capture. No one knew where to flee.
有的人在确认着事情的真实与否，有人在寻找着自己认识的人，询问对策。主营帐这边，则被各种各样的人，投注了最多的关注目光。汤修玄、钱海屏、陈兴都、那病恹恹的年轻书生宁立恒，乃至于更多的曾经在杭州有才名、有官名的人，都被大家密切的注视着。
Some were confirming the truth of the matter, while others were searching for acquaintances, seeking advice. The main tent was the focus of attention for all sorts of people. Tang Xiuxuan, Qian Haiping, Chen Xingdu, the sickly young scholar Ning Liheng, and even more people who had once been known for their talent or official position in Hangzhou were being closely watched.
宁毅偶尔会简单地跟一些人说话，说得最多的，大概是那边的汤修玄，作为四大家的家主之一，这位老人目前仍旧有着最高的地位，有着最多的关系。武朝重文轻武已有多年，即便是陈兴都，在这时也没办法怠慢真正的士绅。汤修玄与宁毅说了很久，某一刻终于皱着眉头深深地看了宁毅一眼，点了点头。
Ning Yi occasionally spoke briefly to some people, most often to Tang Xiuxuan over there. As one of the heads of the four great families, the old man still held the highest status and had the most connections. For many years, the Wu Dynasty had valued civil affairs over military ones, and even Chen Xingdu couldn't afford to neglect the true gentry at this time. Tang Xiuxuan spoke with Ning Yi for a long time, and at one point, he finally frowned, looked deeply at Ning Yi, and nodded.
“在杭州之时，希文公很看重你吧……事到如今，也只好听你的了。去吧，保重身体。”
"When we were in Hangzhou, Duke Xiwen thought highly of you... In this situation, we have no choice but to listen to you. Go, take care of yourself."
说这个的时候，一名将官正要愤怒地朝宁毅冲过来，随后被人隔开了，汤修玄看了一眼，摇摇头，柱着拐杖转身离去，那将领在骂骂咧咧中被拉开了距离，宁毅没有看他，由苏檀儿搀扶着往另一边走去了，虽然已经很累了，但还有一些事情要做。
As he said this, a military officer was about to charge angrily towards Ning Yi, but was held back. Tang Xiuxuan glanced at him, shook his head, and turned to leave with his cane. The officer was dragged away, cursing. Ning Yi didn't look at him, but was supported by Su Tan'er as he walked to the other side. Although he was very tired, there were still things to do.
这样的时间里，姚义所带领的队伍正一刻不停地往他们所在的南边过来，更北面的地方，黑翎卫掉转了方向，朝着这边飞速赶来。天空之下，这片大战场的东北面，隔了河道的方向，名叫刘茜茜，小名刘西瓜的女子，正带领了一队霸刀营朝着石桥渡的北面包抄过去，她并不着急，只是等待着陆鞘等人在北面某地打败了那支逃亡队伍，然后去接收她看上的军师。
During this time, Yao Yi's force was relentlessly approaching from the south, while further north, the Black Feather Guard turned and rushed towards them. Under the sky, on the northeast side of this great battlefield, separated by the river, a woman named Liu Qianqian, nicknamed Liu Xigua, was leading a team of the Ba Dao Camp to outflank the north of Shiqiao Ferry. She wasn't in a hurry, but was waiting for Lu Qiao and others to defeat the fleeing group somewhere in the north, and then to take possession of the strategist she had her eye on.
当宁毅强忍着头晕，去往武德营士兵聚集的那片空地时，远远的已经传来过好几次哗然的声响了，隐约间，陈兴都正在说话，将面临的整个情况，都一五一十地告诉在场的士兵。
As Ning Yi endured his dizziness and went to the open ground where the Wude Battalion soldiers were gathered, several exclamations had already sounded from afar. He could vaguely hear Chen Xingdu speaking, telling the soldiers the whole situation they were facing.
那是一片草地，此时看起来，已经像是一个小小的校场，前方扎了个简单的台子。风不大，宁毅从侧面上去时，半数人都朝他望了过来，苏檀儿没有跟上去，这样的地方，她并不适合上去搀扶。台上不止是陈兴都，也有汤修玄、钱海屏，以及一些杭州的官员、士绅，看着这时候有些弱不禁风的宁毅，多少有些怨气，但并没有太多的表现出来，只是有的盯着他看，有的转过了头。
It was a grassy field, which now looked like a small training ground, with a simple platform set up in front. The wind wasn't strong. As Ning Yi went up from the side, half of the people looked at him. Su Tan'er didn't follow; it wasn't appropriate for her to be there to support him. On the platform were not only Chen Xingdu, but also Tang Xiuxuan, Qian Haiping, and some officials and gentry from Hangzhou. Looking at the somewhat frail Ning Yi at this time, they felt some resentment, but didn't show it too much. Some just stared at him, while others turned their heads away.
那大台子上，这时有块简单的幕布，标出了众人所处的位置以及面临的五股敌人。
On the large platform, there was now a simple screen, marking the location of the group and the five enemy forces they faced.
“……各位兄弟！我们已经没有退路了，人家要逼死我们！我们只能往前走！我们有三千人，他们只有一千，而且各自都已分散，来不及救援……他们如今轻敌，我们才会有这样的机会，若让他们清醒过来，我们什么机会都不会有了……几日以来，我们费尽力气才将他们的距离拉开，路，可以别人指，但命得自己挣！还有血性的，就给我拿起刀，杀出一条血路来——”
"...Brothers! We have no way back, they are forcing us to our deaths! We can only go forward! We have three thousand men, they only have one thousand, and they are scattered, unable to reinforce each other... They are underestimating us now, and only now do we have this opportunity. If they wake up, we will have no chance at all... For days, we have exhausted ourselves to widen the distance between them. Others can point out the path, but you have to fight for your own life! If you have any spirit left, pick up your swords and carve out a bloody path—"
陈兴都本人也是有武艺的，这时候大声说话，全场皆闻，但他算不得口齿灵活之人，重复的基本也是宁毅的那番话。待到他说完，宁毅走过去，将拿着的一大叠卷册交给了汤修玄，随后到陈兴都身边：“我没什么力气了，陈将军可以帮我传言吗？”
Chen Xingdu himself had some martial skills, and spoke loudly at this time, so everyone could hear, but he wasn't a very articulate person. He basically repeated what Ning Yi had said. After he finished, Ning Yi walked over, handed a large stack of scrolls to Tang Xiuxuan, and then went to Chen Xingdu's side, "I don't have much strength left. General Chen, can you help me relay the message?"
陈兴都点了点头。宁毅扫视了这三千余人组成的黑压压的一大片，低声地、缓慢地说话：“中途折返，陷于死地，是我——宁立恒故意设下的算计，你们都被我算计了。但除了置之死地而后生，我们没有第二条路可以走。”
Chen Xingdu nodded. Ning Yi scanned the large, dark mass of over three thousand men and spoke in a low, slow voice, "The detour and the trap were my deliberate calculation - Ning Liheng's plan. You have all been tricked by me. But besides facing death to find life, we have no other choice."
陈兴都先是愣了愣，随后方才开口，将他的话大声转述出去，顿时军队之中又是一片嗡嗡之声，宁毅等待了片刻。
Chen Xingdu was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth and loudly relayed his words. Immediately, a buzzing sound swept through the army again. Ning Yi waited for a moment.
“前无去路，后有追兵，近万人的队伍，掩盖不了行进的痕迹，在杭州这一片的地方，不管怎么样走，时间一长，我们都只有死路一条。我们的前面，有将近六千的敌人，但杭州一战，方匪
"There is no way forward, and pursuers behind us. A group of nearly ten thousand people cannot hide their tracks. In the Hangzhou area, no matter how we go, we will only face death in the long run. Ahead of us are nearly six thousand enemies, but after the battle of Hangzhou, the rebel Fang's"
的队伍已经开始轻敌，昨天石桥渡往回，我们那样简单的就骗过了他们，就是明证。我们还有唯一的胜算，那就是，我们是武德营……是军中精锐。”
"forces have begun to underestimate us. Yesterday, when we returned from Shiqiao Ferry, we tricked them so easily, which is clear evidence. We still have one chance to win, and that is, we are the Wude Battalion...the elite of the army."
宁毅看了看他们，但其实这样的奉承，并没有什么效果。
Ning Yi looked at them, but in fact, such flattery had little effect.
“杭州一战，因为天时的原因，我们败了一仗，败得我们自己都有些莫名其妙。今天走在这里的还有三千人，我不知道大家有没有开始怕。但方腊那边的人，已经觉得我们是土鸡瓦狗了，他们派了五支军队来，每一支，都只有一千多人，这些人互相争吵，不愿意对方占了太多的利益，至于怎么打败我们，抢走我们的东西，他们没有去想。他们像大家一样，觉得这已经不用去想了，可我们还有三千人，那边，那些护院、镖师，也有近千人。现在的情况已经画在后面的图上，他们一千多人气势汹汹地过来，我们四千多人，只想着逃跑，他们一千，我们四千。”
"In the battle of Hangzhou, we lost a battle due to the timing, and we lost in a way that we ourselves didn't understand. Today, there are still three thousand of us walking here. I don't know if you have started to be afraid. But Fang La's people already think of us as worthless rabble. They sent five armies, each with only a little over a thousand men. These people are arguing with each other, unwilling to let the other side take too many benefits. As for how to defeat us and steal our things, they haven't thought about it. Like you, they think they don't need to think about it anymore, but we still have three thousand people, and over there, those guards and bodyguards, there are nearly a thousand. The situation is now drawn on the map behind us. A little over a thousand of them are coming aggressively, and over four thousand of us are only thinking about escaping. They are one thousand, and we are four thousand."
“我对打仗，并不了解，我不知道我们能不能胜，可到了现在，我们的情况，大家都已经清清楚楚，跟以前不一样，这次你们每个人，都清清楚楚，我们要怎样打，你们也清清楚楚。我只能帮你们做一些其他的事情。”
"I don't understand warfare. I don't know if we can win, but now, everyone is clear about our situation. It's different from before. This time, each of you is clear about how we should fight, and you are all clear. I can only help you do some other things."
他挥了挥手，有人将一些大大小小的箱子抬上来。
He waved his hand, and someone brought up some boxes of various sizes.
“从昨天开始，我们就已经记录了各位兄弟的姓名，籍贯，今天在这里的，以汤老为首，我刚才已经将卷册全部交给了他。如今的这个队伍里，大家都在一条船上，如果可以回到湖州，你们看看这台上，看看那边，所有人，都欠你们一份人情，你们每一个人，都可以升官发财。”
"Starting yesterday, we have already recorded the names and birthplaces of all the brothers. Those here today, led by Elder Tang, I have just handed all the scrolls to him. In this group now, we are all in the same boat. If we can return to Huzhou, look at the platform, look over there, everyone owes you a favor. Each of you can be promoted and become wealthy."
那些箱子被打开，金银的光芒闪了出来。
The boxes were opened, and the light of gold and silver flashed out.
“这里的，都不是忘恩负义之人。大家卫戍杭州一地，我知道你们有许多人的亲人、兄弟，也都在杭州，他们有的也在这支队伍里，有的已经在杭州去世，或者出不来了……方腊杀了他们，烧了大家的房子……也有女人……”
"Those here are not ungrateful people. You have guarded Hangzhou, and I know that many of you have relatives and brothers who are also in Hangzhou. Some of them are in this group, some have already died in Hangzhou, or can't get out... Fang La killed them, burned everyone's houses... and there were women..."
宁毅顿了顿，然后指了指后面的那块幕布：“他们跟当初攻杭州的那批精锐不一样，他们是一些农民，连刀枪都配不全！手上拿着耙子木棒跟我们打仗！到了现在，他们一千多人，就已经气势汹汹地过来了！我们可以想想怎么逃，现在脱光衣服跳进河里，从这边游过去！也可以现在过去踩死他们！你们现在已经看到了，他们五支军队都已经分散，我们吃掉陆鞘的这支，再吃掉姚义的这支，其余的都还赶不过来，我们据河以战，绕一圈再吃掉薛斗南，要下雨了，这是天助我们……这一仗怎么打，有没有可能打赢，你们可以自己想！”
Ning Yi paused, and then pointed to the screen behind him, "They are not the same as the elites who attacked Hangzhou. They are some peasants, not even fully equipped with swords and spears! They are fighting us with rakes and wooden sticks in their hands! Now, a little over a thousand of them are already coming aggressively! We can think about how to escape, strip naked and jump into the river now, and swim over from here! Or we can go over and crush them now! You have already seen that their five armies are scattered. We can eat Lu Qiao's force, and then eat Yao Yi's force. The rest won't be able to catch up. We can fight along the river, go around and eat Xue Dounan. It's going to rain, this is heaven helping us... You can think for yourselves how to fight this battle, whether it is possible to win!"
“打赢了，你们可以为杭州死去的亲人兄弟报仇！你们可以分走这些金银！你们可以去到湖州，加官进爵！你们是这场杭州大战唯一打胜的军队！你们每一个人的名字都清清楚楚地记在汤老手上的那份卷册里，卷册到湖州，你们每一个人都不会落下。就算你们回不去，你们的家人，也会拿到他们该拿到的东西，活着的人对你们的家人，必如至亲奉养！”
"If we win, you can avenge the dead relatives and brothers in Hangzhou! You can divide these gold and silver! You can go to Huzhou and be promoted! You are the only army that will win in this great battle of Hangzhou! Each of your names is clearly recorded in the scroll in Elder Tang's hands. When the scroll arrives in Huzhou, none of you will be left out. Even if you can't go back, your families will get what they deserve, and those who live will treat your families as their closest relatives!"
汤老点了点头：“老朽可为此事负责，天地可鉴。”有人便将他的说话传出去。
Elder Tang nodded, "This old man can be responsible for this, heaven and earth are my witness." Someone then relayed his words.
宁毅笑了笑：“若不胜，那就什么都没有了，各位兄弟，我的娘子如今已经有了身孕，她就在后面站着。如果这样也能败，大家都会死在这里，这些金银，会被他们全部抢走，你们活不下来，你们在杭州被他们破了城，毁了家，杀了至亲之人，那些仇，就再也没有可能报了。这时戮力向前，那就活下来，什么都有，这时候往后，大家就都报不了仇，死路一条……他们是一群连兵器都不全的乱民，没有操练没有秩序，就为了抢掠杀人到了这里，他们只有一千人，大家会输吗？把所有东西都输给他们？”
Ning Yi smiled, "If we don't win, then there will be nothing. Brothers, my wife is now pregnant, she is standing in the back. If we can still lose like this, everyone will die here, and all this gold and silver will be taken away by them. You won't survive, your city was broken by them in Hangzhou, your homes were destroyed, and your loved ones were killed. There will be no more chance to avenge those grudges. If we work together and move forward at this time, we will survive and have everything. If we go backward at this time, everyone will not be able to avenge themselves and will face death... They are a group of chaotic people who don't even have complete weapons, without training or order, who have come here to plunder and kill. They only have a thousand people, will you lose? Will you lose everything to them?"
“还是要拿回来一些什么？”
"Or do you want to take back something?"
他将话说完，整个场面，都已经窒息起来，黑压压的云层下，大家看着那块大幕布，怔了半晌，有人终于说起来：“可以报仇……”
After he finished speaking, the whole scene had become suffocating. Under the dark clouds, everyone looked at the big screen, stunned for a while. Someone finally said, "We can take revenge..."
“怎么可能输——”
"How could we lose—"
“踩死他们——”
"Crush them—"
这声浪渐渐的开始汇集起来，也在此时，陡然有人冲了出来：“别听他的，他妖言惑众，就是他把我们陷在这里的！”那却是之前寻宁毅麻烦的将领。这人姓夏，名叫夏七，宁毅在初九清晨将一名阻人取水的闹事者弄得半死，便是他的堂弟，这几日以来，倒是与宁毅唱了几次反调，他这时候跑出来，令得一干士兵的情绪陡然一滞，这夏七紧接着便开始说那计划是宁毅一人所为。
The sound wave gradually began to gather. At this moment, someone suddenly rushed out, "Don't listen to him, he's spreading rumors, he's the one who trapped us here!" It was the officer who had previously troubled Ning Yi. This person's surname was Xia, named Xia Qi. Ning Yi had left his cousin half-dead in the morning of the ninth day for obstructing people from getting water. In the past few days, he had sung a few tunes against Ning Yi. His sudden appearance at this time caused the emotions of a group of soldiers to suddenly stagnate. Xia Qi then began to say that the plan was Ning Yi's doing alone.
台上的众人也都愣了愣，陈兴都原本看着将兵的情绪都已经被调动起来，还在高兴，这时候指着那人：“夏七！为了你堂弟与宁公子的私怨，你这几日无理取闹得还不够么！竟在此时霍乱军心
The people on the platform were also stunned. Chen Xingdu, who was originally happy to see that the soldiers' emotions had been aroused, pointed at the man, "Xia Qi! Have you not made enough trouble these days because of your cousin's personal grievances with Master Ning! How dare you disrupt the morale of the army at this time!"
！”
"!"
万人的队伍，说大也大，说小也小，那天宁毅与这夏七堂弟结下梁子，部分军士也是明白的。夏天仰头道：“陈将军，我说的都是实情，若不是这宁立恒……”
A group of ten thousand people was both large and small. Some soldiers were aware that Ning Yi had formed a feud with Xia Qi's cousin that day. Xia Qi raised his head and said, "General Chen, what I said is the truth, if it weren't for this Ning Liheng..."
他话没说完，台上宁毅朝旁边已经走出几步，抓起旁边一名士兵北上的弩，用力地上了弦，直接指向那夏七。夏七愣了愣，随后双手一张：“你敢——”
Before he could finish speaking, Ning Yi on the platform had already taken a few steps to the side, grabbed the crossbow from a soldier next to him, cocked it forcefully, and pointed it directly at Xia Qi. Xia Qi was stunned for a moment, and then spread his hands, "You dare—"
下一刻，嘭的一下，血光飚射出去，弩箭直接射在了他的脑门上。这人睁着眼睛，保持那张开双臂的姿势倒在了地上，宁毅另一只手抓住旁边一名士兵手上的长枪，努力让自己站稳：“啰啰嗦嗦！婆婆妈妈！唧唧歪歪！你不是男人！”
The next moment, with a bang, blood splattered out, and the crossbow bolt shot directly into his forehead. The man fell to the ground with his eyes open, maintaining the posture of opening his arms. Ning Yi grabbed the spear from a soldier next to him with his other hand, trying to steady himself, "Bumbling! Nagging! Whining! You are not a man!"
他原本已经处于虚弱的状态，这时候却是强用蛮力，那声音说出来，全场皆闻，一时间，不光是下方的士兵，就连台上的汤修玄等人，都愕然地望着这平日里病恹恹的书生，心下惊怵。他们也听说了宁毅心狠手辣与石宝等人交过手的传闻，但平日里自然没见过，这时候才见他如此干脆地动手杀人。
He was originally in a weak state, but at this time he used brute force, and the sound was heard throughout the entire scene. For a time, not only the soldiers below, but even Tang Xiuxuan and others on the platform, stared in astonishment at this sickly scholar, and were horrified. They had also heard rumors that Ning Yi was ruthless and had fought against Shi Bao and others, but they had never seen it on a normal day, and only now did they see him kill someone so decisively.
“路只有两条！往前！往后！你们选好了，就走过去，为自己挣命！与我有私仇的！事后要找我！杀我！我尽管奉陪！但在这时要祸乱军心的，都是大家的死敌！你们尽管选择听不听他们的！”
"There are only two roads! Forward! Backward! Once you've chosen, go and fight for your lives! Those who have personal grievances with me! Come find me afterwards! Kill me! I'll gladly accompany you! But those who want to disrupt the morale of the army at this time are everyone's mortal enemies! You can choose whether or not to listen to them!"
宁毅说完这些，手和身体都剧烈的抖动起来，只是仍旧站在那儿。那夏七的手下原本也有些人，初时错愕过后，这时便有人陡然喊起来：“竟敢当众行凶，兄弟们……”这话还没喊完，陡然听见“乒”的一声，后方有人猛地拔刀朝他砍过去，那人也机警，挡了一刀，退后几步，只听那出手之人喊道：“谁他妈是你兄弟！”这人却是素来与他有嫌隙的一人。
After Ning Yi said these words, his hands and body trembled violently, but he still stood there. Xia Qi also had some subordinates, who, after the initial shock, suddenly shouted, "How dare you commit murder in public, brothers..." Before he could finish speaking, there was a "clang" sound, and someone from behind suddenly drew his sword and slashed at him. The man was also alert, blocked a blow, and took a few steps back, only to hear the person who attacked him shout, "Who the hell is your brother!" This person was someone who had always had a feud with him.
人群中刷的又有人拔出了刀，指向这边：“这人不安好心！”
Someone else in the crowd drew his sword and pointed it towards them, "This person has bad intentions!"
“宰了他！”
"Kill him!"
又有人狂喊起来。这人持刀退后了几步，那边喊声已经此起彼伏，不少人被刚才的鲜血激红了眼睛，在此时找宁毅麻烦根本无济于事，这时所有人都能想到的。呼喊声中，那人腰肋之间猛地被身边人劈了一刀，鲜血飚射出来，他错愕地睁着眼睛将刀子往四周挥，士兵群中一名大汉直冲过来，刷的一刀往他肚子里捅进去：“老子宰了你这孬种——”
Someone else shouted wildly. The man retreated a few steps with his sword, and the shouts over there rose one after another. Many people's eyes were red with the blood from just now. It was useless to trouble Ning Yi at this time, which was what everyone could think of. Amidst the shouts, the man was suddenly slashed in the waist by someone next to him, and blood splattered out. He opened his eyes in astonishment and swung his knife around, and a big man in the crowd of soldiers rushed over and stabbed him in the stomach with a swipe of his knife, "I'll kill you, you coward—"
一刀之后，又是一刀，四周的士兵已经成了一个圈子，刀光刷刷刷的往那人身上劈，鲜血四处飞洒，直到有人一刀劈了那人的脑袋，周围的地面都已经被鲜血染红。当先那大汉举起手中的钢刀，朝向北面：“兄弟们，杀光那帮杂碎！报仇——”
After one knife, another knife, and the surrounding soldiers had formed a circle. The knives slashed at the man's body, and blood splattered everywhere, until someone chopped off the man's head with one knife, and the surrounding ground was already stained red with blood. The big man in the lead raised the steel knife in his hand and faced north, "Brothers, kill all those bastards! Avenge ourselves—"
“杀了他们。”
"Kill them."
“杀光那群农民——”
"Kill all those peasants—"
“我要报仇！”
"I want revenge!"
片刻之间，几乎所有人都被这杀戮激红了眼睛，刀兵如火，声浪开始沸腾起来，这时候的军队不见得会有多好的指挥，但人在绝处时的血性，终于已经被激了出来。
In an instant, almost everyone's eyes were red with the killing, the swords were like fire, and the sound waves began to boil. The army may not have had very good command at this time, but the bloodiness of people in desperate situations had finally been aroused.
宁毅站在那儿，柱着长枪，看着这一切，他眨了眨眼睛，然后，周围的黑暗包围过来了。身体冰凉，视野开始倾斜，他吸了一口气，隐约听见有人喊：“宁公子——”
Ning Yi stood there, leaning on his spear, watching all this. He blinked his eyes, and then, the darkness surrounded him. His body was cold, his vision began to tilt, he took a breath, and faintly heard someone shout, "Master Ning—"
“宁公子……”
"Master Ning..."
意识远离……
Consciousness drifted away...
********************
半刻钟后，阴沉的天空下，就在朝北方不到两里外的一片丘陵的山坡上，陆鞘所率领的将士将他们这次追杀的目标纳入视野，如狼群一般的朝着那边疾冲而去，双方很快地进入箭矢所能及的距离。这边不多的箭矢飞了过去，似乎并没有起到怎样的效果。
Half a quarter of an hour later, under the gloomy sky, on the hillside of a hilly area less than two miles to the north, the soldiers led by Lu Qiao brought their target of this pursuit into view, and rushed towards them like a pack of wolves. The two sides quickly entered the range of arrows. The few arrows that flew over from this side did not seem to have much effect.
陆鞘还在疑惑双方接兵为何会如此之快，那边的数千武德营士兵，红了眼睛，挥舞刀枪，如同海潮一般的淹没过来，呐喊声震天。
Lu Qiao was still wondering why the two sides had engaged so quickly. The thousands of Wude Battalion soldiers over there, with red eyes, waved their swords and spears, and swept over like a sea tide, with earth-shattering shouts.
冲在最前方一名陆鞘麾下士兵微微察觉到不对，几乎是下意识地停了一下，被后方的同伴推倒在地，踩了过去，随后那前方却是更多人下意识的放慢速度或是停下。这发展与他们原本想象的并不一样，与早几天里经历过的类似事情也并不一样。
A soldier under Lu Qiao in the forefront faintly noticed something was wrong, and stopped almost subconsciously. He was pushed to the ground by his companions behind him and trampled over. Then, more people in front of him subconsciously slowed down or stopped. This development was different from what they had originally imagined, and it was also different from similar things they had experienced a few days earlier.
这上千人的错愕并没有持续太长时间，片刻之后，他们被眼前这次毫无章法仅凭着血气的简单冲锋一次平推，数千人的怒潮，在数里长的战线上轰然席卷，冲向北方。
The astonishment of these thousands of people did not last long. After a moment, they were flattened by the simple charge in front of them, which was disorganized and relied only on bloodiness. The angry tide of thousands of people swept across the battlefield several miles long and crashed towards the north.
没有鏖战，没有章法，没有更多的围追堵截，兵锋过后，红色的地毯一次铺开，满地尸骸……
There was no fierce battle, no order, no more encirclement and interception. After the battle, a red carpet was laid out, and the ground was covered with corpses...
