Chapter 132: Waiting for Battle
The night was as dark as ink, and the cold wind of hunting seemed to convey some kind of uneasy atmosphere. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the not very majestic city wall, the young soldier who was engrossed in the darkness outside the city with weapons in hand couldn't help but shudder.
"Hey, boy, you're scared!" the older ruffian next to him glanced at him, and opened his mouth to break the silence around him, attracting the attention of all the soldiers standing on the wall on guard.
"Nonsense, I'm ...... I'm just a little cold, and the gust of wind that just blew makes people shiver. The young soldier blushed a little, but he was glad that the night was dark and windy, and no one could see the red on his face.
"Sneer......" The soldier sneered, but he didn't expose his lies. If you want to say that you are afraid, who is not afraid of all the people standing on the city wall? When death is coming, who can face it calmly? Who said that death is not terrible, but what is terrible is the feeling of waiting for death, which is really too right. Turning his head, he looked at the same darkness in the city behind him, with only a faint glow shining from the tallest tower. It was this little bit of light that was why they could not and would not flee with the people of the city. How could they abandon the lord of the city and flee alone, O their most beloved lord!
"Hey, what's so scary, it's also a knife to stick out and shrink your head. It was an honor for me to be able to protect this city with the lord of the castle until the last moment. If you kill one, you won't lose, if you kill two, you will earn it, and if you kill a few more Lao Tzu, your life will not be in vain!" the other bearded soldier smiled and patted the thin soldier next to him on the shoulder.
"That's right, sooner or later, this rotten kingdom will be destroyed by these people. Killing a few more is enough to comfort ourselves. The other soldier nodded, and while he could have fled, the treatment of a fugitive soldier was completely different from that of a civilian. If you are lucky, no one will find out that the report is hiding, and if you are unlucky, you will be arrested and tortured. So instead of running away, it's better to stay and fight to the death.
Speaking of a very cliché reason, the nobles of the big city fell in love with the daughter of the city lord of the small city and wanted to rob it, but unfortunately the small city lord refused to sell his daughter for glory, so the nobles instigated the city lord of the big city to send troops to sweep the small city on trumped-up charges, and threatened to destroy the city lord's family and all his troops. How many troops can the poor little city lord have, in the face of the army sent by the big city, it is absolutely no chance of winning. Although the small city lord also had the intention to let the soldiers disguise themselves and leave with the fleeing refugees, but the small city lord was too successful, and almost all the soldiers refused to leave and asked to fight with the enemy until the last moment.
The strength of the small city is only more than 1,000 people, and in the face of the upcoming army of 5,000 people in the big city, it is simply a stone with an egg. Not to mention that among the 7,000 troops, there are 500 famous cavalry. Such a large army is used against a small city, which is really impressive, but it is silent.
And on the other side, in the direction from which the army came, the cavalry phalanx.
"I said, isn't it too much of a fuss for a small city with a thousand troops to send us out?"
"Those nobles, tsk, always do boring things, and this little city lord is too unlucky to provoke those scoundrels. ”
"I heard that the little city lord has a lot of treasure, so he found the disaster of killing. ”
"What, I've heard that it was the incompetent son who fell in love with someone's daughter, and was rejected to do this kind of massacre. ”
"No wonder our reputation in the outside world is getting worse and worse, isn't it because we want to be the executioners of these nobles!"
"Who says it isn't! I used to hear that we were from the cavalry regiment, and the girls didn't flock to it! Now as soon as they say that they are from the cavalry regiment, the others immediately feel as if there is something disgusting about us. ”
The deputy commander of the cavalry regiment listened quietly to the whispers of his regiment members, and while looking at the commander of the regiment, who had always been silent and cold-faced, he wondered what thoughts he had in his heart? The lord of the country was mediocre, and the major cities had troops and self-respect, and the city lord to whom they were loyal seemed to be becoming more and more restless! I don't know if the regiment commander had any plans in his heart, and it was too passive to go on like this, and it would be very disadvantageous to them!
On the walls of the small city, the original chatting voices gradually dissipated, and the silence became more and more silent. As the night deepened, the scythe of death drew closer. The dawn is the end of them......
"Huh...... Did you hear anything?" said the young creep suddenly, unsure if he was hallucinating.
"Really...... It sounded like something striking metal...... and the crowd listened, then began to look around for a sound.
"There, look at the roof of the big house in front of the Tower of the City Lord's Palace. Someone shouted, and the crowd followed the direction of his finger. On the chimney of the roof of the big house sat a dark figure, holding a long and wide object in his hand. The sound he made was the sound he made by tapping his fingers on the object in his hand.
"Whoever is turning the clouds and rain, controlling the world, burning the beacon fire of the Three Realms, should be rewarded with the red lotus, Yanhua, the war ghost, the reincarnation of the natural calendar, the destruction of the heavens, the catastrophe and the killing are heroes, and they must endure loneliness and sorrow
In order to defend the hegemony of thousands of years, do drifting careers, fight to the death, and often only have a momentary grievance, and do not mention grievances, just because there is no way to answer fate, ruthless, simply don't care about it
The man has been upright, has a magnificent mind, has gone through life and death, and has been turbid for you, falling into the stars and calamity, and changing the fire for me, the devil in this life, the honor and disgrace, and the merits and demerits of this life, and what to say about others
Guan Shan is the bloodline, who is willing to give up the territory, expand the territory, and the heroic soul to fight against the rivers and rivers, which is the sharp blade, which one will seize the homeland and the country, and give the long song with blood
Because you can't fathom your inner attachment, the dream of glory and glory will be exchanged for me, and the world will be destroyed again, so you will re-carve it, and you will go to the mountains and rivers to change you, and look back at the autumn waves......"
"Who is this! can still sing in the middle of the night?!"
"......Shhh Be quiet...... I don't know if this man is friend or foe......"
"I think this singing is very good, it sounds like a little girl......"
"I think the lyrics are quite uplifting, I don't feel scared when I listen to them, and I have the courage to face the dawn. ”
"I think so too, especially the sentence that Guanshan is willing to give up for the bloodline, and I can't bear our city! Although it is small, this is our home!"
"In order to defend the hegemony of thousands of years, do a wandering career, fight to the death, often only for a moment, grievances are not mentioned, just because there is no way to answer fate, ruthless, simply don't care about it
When the wine party is comfortable, the sword is spurred, the flying horse is thousands of miles fast, the wind hits thousands of miles, the moon frost, the sand chatter, the bloody blade blooms, the vermilion flower shoots, the wolf star hangs the armor, declares the martial arts, fights for war, and the bully man should stand in the world
One step out of the sheath, outside the flat mountain, breaking the waves, leading the wind and thunder, who dares to block the fortification, the iron wall and the copper wall inside the shield are like a rainbow, who is reckless
If you enter the clouds, you are destined to be vicissitudes, and you will be dyed with blood, so why don't you be a fierce general, thirsty and thirsty, lick the knife head, and the blood is cold, and those who don't know my heart must not laugh and be frivolous......"
Everyone stopped talking, and listened quietly to the man playing his sword and singing.
"(Nian Bai) is slightly drunk, chasing the wind, the heirs of the heavens are collapsing, the stars are rolling, the hunting is wrapped in the light goose, the door lock is carved, and the enemy's blood is dyed red
(Singing) out of the sheath, one step outside the flat mountain, breaking the waves, leading the wind and thunder, who dares to block, the iron wall and copper wall inside the fortification shield are like a rainbow, who dares to be strong
La-la
Those who don't know my heart must not laugh frivolously......"
The soldiers listened to the obviously childish girl's voice reciting the strange-toned words, and then sang wantonly and loudly, one by one silently chanting in their hearts, 'Those who don't know my heart must not laugh frivolously'. What is so terrible? It's just death, and before you die, you have to do your best to defend the land under your feet. What does it matter if you stain the country with blood? The fierce general is thirsty and licks the blood of the knife, and those who don't know my heart must not laugh and be frivolous.
