Chapter 131: The Ruined City Gao Yong
Three days later, on the fifth watch, the army was neatly arranged on the school field one by one, Yan Xining asked Xie Ronghua for the pulse early in the morning, at this time she was dressed in the clothes of an ordinary soldier, and Xie Lingzhen stood quietly in a team together, the sound of the passionate war drums sounded from light to heavy, and every blow seemed to hit the tip of people's hearts. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Xie Ronghua was dressed in silver armor, standing tall in front of them, and after the drumming stopped, his loud and majestic voice sounded in the school field: "Among the soldiers present, many of them are the old troops who went out with Ben Shuai last time, I believe you will not forget, two months ago, tens of thousands of our brothers were on the grassland of Gaolingpo, bleeding like a river, and we were like lost dogs, abandoning the city and fleeing." There was a heaviness in his tone, which made the soldiers present bow their heads in silence.
"That kind of shame, so that Ben Shuai will never forget, fortunately God bless me Da Wei, Zhang Chu died suddenly, gave Xi Qin a blow that caught us off guard, but also gave us a chance to breathe, now His Majesty is willing to give us another chance, make up for our mistakes, I believe everyone has heard, Zhang Shanren hurriedly ascended the throne, their internal stability is not yet stable, at this time, it is our best time, but Ben Shuai hopes that you will not be lucky because of this, despise the enemy, everyone on the battlefield should be valued, however, everyone does not have to be afraid of them, After all, in the past two months, whether it is a veteran or a new soldier in the army, everyone has not relaxed for a moment in training, as long as we work together, it is the sharpest sword in the world, this time, this time the commander wants to use the blood of Western Qin, for this sword, so that the world no longer dares to look down on us. As soon as his words fell, he quickly drew his sword, and in an instant, a bloody crack appeared in his palm, and the blood slowly remained, he raised his palm to the soldiers, and said loudly: "We are allied by blood, and we will not win." ”
A loud echo erupted in the army: "No victory, no return!" No win, no return! ”
Yan Xi Ning looked at the tall figure in front of him, his eyes were full of confidence, and his whole body exuded the momentum of looking at the world, at this moment he was high, Fang Cai's words were like the declaration of the god of war, I saw that he gently gathered his palms into a fist, and the originally noisy team quieted down in an instant, Xie Ronghua said loudly: "The army is leaving!" ”
After saying that, he took the lead in getting on the war horse, and the rest of the army also acted in an orderly manner, Xie Lingzhen waited for Yan Xining to get on the horse, and then he rode on the horse and followed her quietly.
Five or six days after setting off from Chang'an, the army arrived at Gao Yong City, and everyone was shocked and speechless by the current Gao Yong City.
After Zhang Chu's death, Gao Yongcheng was regarded as an ominous place by the Western Qin, they had left here more than a month ago, and the current scene is their masterpiece before leaving.
The city gate of Gao Yong City has been demolished, on the way into the city, the corpses of the Wei soldiers are piled up into a mountain, the rotting corpses are stained with blood, the strong stench is almost disgusting, the corpses have been thrown for more than two months, their faces have long been unrecognizable, and the soldiers who saw this scene with their own eyes were dyed blood-red, and their hearts were full of anger. Xie Ronghua looked at all this with a gloomy face, his hands were creaking, and he spoke, but his voice was surprisingly calm: "Cremate the soldiers and open the way." ”
In the sky-high firelight, Xie Ronghua looked at his grief-stricken subordinates, and said in a deep voice: "Everything in front of you, this commander hopes that you will keep it in mind, Zhang Shanren is brutal and unkind, torture and kill prisoners, today we are here, there will be no way to retreat, this battle, if we lose." He pointed to the sky-high flames and said, "The end will be the same as theirs, so we must win." ”
Someone in the ranks shouted: "Marshal, we will definitely avenge our brothers and will not back down." ”
The cries of the mountains and the tsunami, in the firelight, turned fear and grief into a fighting spirit that soared into the sky.
The fire burned for a day and a night before it was extinguished, and the army finally entered the city, only to find that all the houses in the city had been burned down, and the corpses of the common people were scattered on the street, and even their frightened expressions before they died. Xie Lingzhen followed her, silent and did not speak. Xie Ronghua ordered a team of men and horses to pile up the corpses of the people and cremate them, and ordered a team of men and horses to repair the city gates, and the rest of the men and horses set up camp in the city, so that they dug a wide and deep trench outside the city, and divided their troops to guard the grain road. After giving all these orders, he looked at Yan Xining and said, "Miss Xue, Ben Shuai hopes that you and the military doctor will work together to carefully investigate Gao Yong City inside and out, on the one hand, to prevent the plague, on the other hand, last time Ben Shuai was poisoned here, Zhang Chu also died here, Ben Shuai does not want any more accidents." ”
Yan Xining nodded and said firmly: "Don't worry, Marshal, I will never let what happened last time happen again." ”
Yan Xining and the military doctor together, sprinkled the medicine to prevent the plague all over every corner of Gao Yong City, inside and outside the city, she found the pot of withered Illusion Orchid in the house where Xie Ronghua once lived, she took off some withered leaves, sent them to the soldiers behind her one by one, pointed to the Illusion Orchid and said: "You go to every corner of the city to search, if you find a plant like this, you must tell me, although the flowering period has passed now, it is too harmful to stay." "Since there is one plant, it is inevitable that there will be no others, Yan Xining guessed, that Zhang Chu may also have died at the hands of this murderer.
Sure enough, two hours later, a soldier came to report, in a corner of the southwest, there were a lot of illusory orchids, she followed them, only to find that there was such a place in this city, which was surrounded by boulders on all sides, the sun could not shine in at all, and there was groundwater passing through the ground, making the soil much wetter than other places, and the soil of the extreme cathode tide became the best growth environment for the illusory orchid, if it wasn't for the soldiers to search carefully, I am afraid that this place would not be found, Yan Xining commanded in a low voice: " Burn them all and find a way to get rid of a stone and let the sun shine in. "That way, even if there is something missing, they won't survive.
The soldiers moved quickly, they tore down a stone, brought dry firewood, and soon the illusory orchid was reduced to a puddle of ashes in the fire.
Yan Xi Ning saw that everything was dealt with, and the tense heartstrings relaxed, and she took them back to the military camp that was still being built in the city, and returned to Xie Ronghua.
The sky gradually darkened, everyone was silently doing their own thing, and it was not until the second half of the night that the military camp in the city was completed, and the gradually lit fire illuminated the dead city that had been silent for more than a month, bringing long-lost vitality and hope to this ruined city.
