Chapter 699: A War Caused by a Barrel
Under the night sky, a silver ribbon of water flows across the endless grassland.
This stream is the natural boundary between the Han Dynasty and the Buddha Kingdom, and of course, the current Buddha Kingdom is controlled by the righteous army, which has the absolute right to speak.
The upper reaches of the stream slowly floated a wooden barrel.
A strong man with shaved hair and a long beard grabbed the floating wooden barrel, and when he saw that the barrel was old but clean, he carried water and gave water to a gray-white horse behind him.
There was the sound of footsteps in the grass.
The long-bearded man looked at the voice, and his thick eyebrows slowly provoked provocatively.
A black heavier than the night appeared in his eyes.
It was a big Han border soldier who was much shorter than him. He wears black leather armor and a very ordinary long knife.
"That's my drinking toilet. ”
The big man walked to the edge of the stream and looked at him defiantly. His face instantly turned cold, and he nodded at the barrel behind him and said.
The long-bearded strong man looked at the sergeant who was half a head shorter than himself with disdain, and said, "There's a wooden barrel floating up there." You say it's yours, and if it's a Buddha floating up there, you say it's yours too?"
The Han sergeant shook his head coldly and said, "I don't want the Buddha of your grass Buddha country, I just want my wooden barrel." ”
When the great man of the Buddha country heard this, he immediately became angry, and his face was flushed, Buddha is their faith, how can they let people insult the Buddha, so he said angrily: "What did you say?"
The Han sergeant didn't look at him, just looked at the wooden bucket behind him, and repeated, "Give me back the bucket." ”
"Really?"
The strong man of the Buddha Kingdom laughed angrily, took a step back, grasped the spear hanging from the saddle, and said with a cruel smile: "Then you have a kind of crossing the stream to get it?" A strange look flashed in his eyes.
The Han soldier, angry rising, said slowly: "You forced me." ”
The strong man of the Buddha Kingdom smiled, he didn't think that this Han sergeant would dare to cross the border.
On the next breath, however, his smile froze.
The black-armored Han sergeant began to wade across the stream.
There was a loud roar of "Zheng".
When the Han sergeant's footsteps stepped on solid ground, the strong man of the Buddha country removed the spear from the saddle.
The spear in his hand reflected the moonlight, pointed straight at the chest of the Han sergeant, and said coldly, "Go back." ”
The hand of the Han sergeant grasped the hilt of the sword, not looking at him, just at the barrel. "What if I don't retreat?"
The strong man of the Buddha Kingdom was stunned for a moment, and said sharply: "If you don't retreat, I will kill you." ”
The Han sergeant sneered disdainfully, he held the hilt of the knife in one hand, and stepped forward to get the bucket.
"Look for death!"
The strong man of the Buddha country shouted angrily, and the spear in his hand was sent forward.
The Han soldier hurriedly turned sideways and subconsciously handed the knife out. Prepare to scare this strong man of the Buddha country. Who knew that when he saw the knife stabbed, the strong man of the Buddha country did not avoid it, and even had an accelerated process, and with a pop, the long knife in his hand penetrated the body of the strong man of the Buddha country.
The big Han soldier froze for a moment, and his face quickly turned extremely pale in the moonlight.
"You..."
He looked at the long bloodshot that overflowed from the mouth of the strong man of the Buddha Kingdom hanging from his knife. I couldn't believe it, and I couldn't speak for a while.
"Just for a bucket, is it worth it?"
The strong man of the Buddha Kingdom did not look at the barrel again at this time. Instead, he looked up at the moon sky above with some nostalgia, looked at the bright full moon, and muttered this.
A terrifying scream pierced the night sky.
Looking at the strong man of the Buddha country who fell and died with his own knife. This usually brave and good Han soldier trembled all over.
He didn't understand what was going on.
In the same year, the Buddhist Righteous Army and the Han Border Army clashed at the border.
The cause of the conflict is just a bucket.
Just for this bucket. The death of a soldier of the Buddha country, and what is even more infuriating is that the Han border army that killed the soldier crossed the border between the two countries, which made the whole country of Buddha extremely angry. It is believed that the Han Chinese insulted them.
On the same night, the Buddhist rebels demanded that the Han hand over the Wubian army that killed the Buddhist soldiers.
However, the Wu Clan side emphasized that the Great Qin soldier had crossed the border.
However, the Han border army believed that it was indeed the Han army's drinking toilet, and the soldier's legitimate request was not answered.
So after the request made was denied. The Han border army took very decisive measures.
A border army decisively launched an attack on the garrison where the warrior of the Wu clan was located.
The conflict intensified over the next few days, and as the rebels grew, it soon turned into a war.
However, in the future, as long as there is a person who has the heart to calculate the time. It is easy to see that on the same day that the soldier died for the bucket, many of the troops of the Buddhist rebels had already begun to move to the Han border.
The big man had no choice but to fight. The Duguxia coalition army dispatched 50,000 soldiers to support the border, and even recruited 50,000 soldiers in the country again. Before much training, they were sent to the battlefield. A lineup of 100,000 people was barely put together on the border between the two countries.
Many cultivators of the Great Han Dynasty, regardless of their cultivation level. Represented by Ying Tian Academy, in response to His Majesty's call, he went to the front line of the border.
This early spring, Wang Wu was one of the many groups of Han cultivators who rushed to the border.
Cultivators who have never participated in a conquest, regardless of any cultivation realm, are newly conscripted. They were escorted by recruiting officers from the Terracotta Division.
The military orders of the Han Dynasty were extremely strict, and if they missed the deadline, they would even be deprived of military merit by the conscription officers and abolished for hard labor. If the fighter is missed, he will be directly executed.
So the army that transports the recruits is not just an escort, but also an escort of prisoners. With a mission that must be delivered.
Because it was wartime, the conscripts who set out from Zhongjing were themselves generals who were to be transferred to the border, and Wang Wu's army belonged to one of the Su Guards stationed one hundred and thirty miles outside Zhongjing.
This army numbered two thousand people. However, he only got Wang Wu, a cultivator, and it was the first time for a cultivator to join the army, so the entire army respected Wang Wu very much, including the leader of the army.
When Wang Wu was joined outside the city of Zhongjing, the team began to set off officially, and he directly invited Wang Wu to his chariot as soon as possible.
The figure of this general is not tall, and he is even slightly rickety. The top of his head was already a little bald, but his whole body still exuded the kind of iron-blooded meaning that only soldiers who have gone through countless battles, and he bowed to Wang Wu very respectfully. The tone was also humble to the extreme, "Cultivation can only give up comfort and join the army, and the last general admires it very much." ”
Wang Wu is from the academy, so in everyone's opinion, he has such a status.
Wang Wu is obviously not a very modest person, and he doesn't know how to say polite words, so he listened to the general's words, just bowed back very seriously, and said, "The family and the country are in trouble, so naturally we should do our best." ”
The general was very satisfied with his attitude, and also admired Wang Wu even more, so he laughed and said, "I don't know what you think of this war on the border of the Buddha Kingdom. ”
Wang Wu glanced at the general, who looked very ordinary, and said: "The Buddha Righteous Army is in a nest with the snakes and rats of Canghai City, and the story about that wooden barrel is obviously what they are doing, taking the opportunity to let the Buddha Righteous Army start a war with us, and we can relieve the siege of Canghai City." ”
"That makes sense, what do you think about the victory or defeat?" The general did not have modesty and superfluous words, looked at Wang Wu and asked.
"This battle actually doesn't matter, it mainly depends on the situation in Canghai City, and the strength on paper on Canghai City should have an advantage for us, so I think the balance of victory should be like a big man. Wang Wu smiled and said.
The general nodded and said, "I agree with your point of view. ”
Wang Wu looked at him and continued: "But this battle on the border will definitely be a vicious battle, general, you better prepare in advance." ”
The general's eyes flashed violently, in fact, he knew what Wang Wu said, but when Wang Wu said it, he was still a little nervous.
The general looked at the road ahead and said slowly, "The final destination of a soldier is the battlefield, and if you can die on the battlefield, I think it is a great thing." ”
