Chapter 221: The Past Five Years Ago (I)
I saw that one of these military horses was a little older, and the military horses who had been on the battlefield once frowned more and more, and they didn't know what they were thinking in their heads. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Seeing the face of this veteran army Sima, the face of the general of the East City Gate suddenly became interesting, and he hurriedly asked the old army Sima, "This Sima, what can you see from this black spot?"
Hearing the words of the East City Gate official, several other military horses hurriedly looked over, they really couldn't see anything from this black spot, seeing the appearance of this old military Sima, it seemed that they had the hope of solving the problem in front of them.
I saw that the old soldier's brows were furrowed tighter and tighter, and a slit was wrinkled between his eyebrows, obviously he must have thought of something.
Suddenly, the old soldier's hands began to tremble slightly, his face became more and more ugly, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, which made these people who looked at him more and more anxious.
"This military commander, do you see anything from this strange thing, you can say it quickly. The vocal cords of the East City Gate official couldn't help but cry because of the nervousness.
"Yes, comrade, if you have an idea or know something, please tell us, everyone is waiting for your reply. A soldier Sima Deng chimed in.
"This comrade, if you have an idea, just say, no one will blame you. ”
"Eh, I beg you, just say it. ”
Author: "Hey, I'm so grumpy, don't say I'm ......" (Hey, did I go to the wrong set?, this is embarrassing. )
Seeing the anxious looks of several other military Sima and the Dongcheng Gate official, the old military Sima took a deep breath and tried to calm down his agitated mood, so he replied to them with a serious face and a heavy tone: "If the contemptible people are not mistaken, this so-called moving little black spot is probably a huge army, and the target of this army is probably our Xuzhou City." ”
Hearing this, all the military commanders and the officials of the East City Gate present couldn't help but take a deep breath, their faces suddenly became bloodless, and their hearts were terrified.
Even the faces of the two pro-soldiers who had been wearing dead faces beside the East City Gate Officer were finally moved, after so long of peace, could it be that the war was going to start again?
At this time, the minds of everyone present couldn't help but think of the tragic scene of the destruction of Xuzhou City, and they couldn't help but feel cold on their bodies, and their hands had become extremely cold.
You know, it's still just autumn at this time.
The Dongcheng Gate Officer reacted quickly, and immediately thought about the source of this army, and asked the several military commanders present: "Everyone, there is no need to be so panicked, perhaps, this is not an enemy army, just a bird?"
Hearing what the Dongcheng Gate official said, the veteran soldier Sima Deng retorted: "Your Excellency, with all due respect, with the old man's knowledge, I have never seen such a big bird, unless it is the mythical divine bird Dapeng. However, I don't think you're stupid enough to really believe that this is the legendary Roc Bird, right?"
Hearing Lao Sima's words, all the military horses present shook their heads, obviously not believing that this black-spotted thing was the legendary Dapeng bird, everyone is a smart person, of course they will not believe that there is really a god like the Dapeng bird in the world.
This kind of legend is only foolishly believed by the people at the bottom.
Seeing the anxious looks of several other military Sima and the East City Gate official, the old military Sima could only take a deep breath, his face was serious, and he said in a heavy tone: "If the contemptible people are not mistaken, this moving black spot is probably an extremely large army. ”
Hearing this, the minds of all the military horses and the officials of the East City Gate present instantly crashed, they all guessed everything, but they didn't think that this black spot thing turned out to be a huge army.
Army, what a terrible and lovely word, if it is a friendly army, it is fine, but if it is an enemy, then the result is unimaginable.
Even the faces of the two pro-soldiers, who had always been serious and immovable, changed slightly.
"But why are you sure that this must be an army? Do you have any evidence to prove it?" the Dongcheng Gate official reacted quickly and asked the old Sima rhetorically.
Seeing that the official of the East City Gate asked this, the other military horses also followed suit, and asked the old military Sima nonsense.
Hearing these people's questions, old Sima Deng said to them with an oath: "Okay, then I'll tell you why." ”
"Five years ago, there was a war between the Empire and the Northern Xiongnu Empire, do you know this?"
Hearing Lao Sima's words, everyone present nodded one after another, obviously knowing the matter.
You know, they are officers of the empire, and they don't know about this kind of militaristic event, who knows?
Seeing the appearance of everyone present, Lao Sima nodded and continued lightly: "I have participated in this war. ”
Hearing Lao Sima's words, everyone present was in awe of this old Sima.
You must know that this war with the Xiongnu Empire in the north is the only war in the empire in recent decades, and the war is very tragic. There is not one in ten who survives, but it can be said that those who survive are the elite of the imperial soldiers.
A soldier is a real soldier only if he has seen blood, killed people, and been on the battlefield.
And in this war, the First Army of the Empire, as the main force, lost most of it, and its vitality was greatly damaged.
As you know, the first legion of the empire is the most powerful legion in combat except for the royal garrison corps that defends the imperial city of the empire, and such a legion has been damaged by the Hun army, so you can imagine how strong the Hun army's combat effectiveness is.
In this war with the Xiongnu Empire, the Qianyuan Empire invested nearly one million troops, but in the end, there was not one out of ten survivors.
However, the most ridiculous thing is that the most attacking side, the Xiongnu Empire, which lost its home advantage, only paid more than 100,000 casualties.
Although the final result was that the Xiongnu Empire could not withstand the war of attrition and surrendered to the Qianyuan Empire, everyone knew that the war was actually won by the Xiongnu Empire.
And the impact of this war is also extremely bad. directly made the status of the Qianyuan Empire plummet in the eyes of its neighbors. This change can be seen from the diplomatic attitudes of the surrounding neighboring countries toward the Qianyuan Empire in recent years.
Although the Empire encouraged and advertised that the war was a great victory for the Empire, it could only deceive the ill-informed ordinary people, but not the Imperial soldiers.
