Chapter 19: The Choice of Life and Death
"How many troops do we have?" After a hundred battles, the corners of Shu Shengxuan's tenacious eyes are deeper than the night at this moment.
"Less than 10,000." Shu Zhenxuan couldn't bear to say. When they left the city, there were 20,000 soldiers, but now, more than half of them were killed and wounded.
"Get everyone together." Shu Shengxuan seemed to have made a decision.
A quarter of an hour later, all the soldiers were gathered in a relatively flat clearing in the valley, and the wounded soldiers were also supported by their side. The majesty of the past is still vivid, but at this time it has been forced to a desperate situation. Looking at those soldiers who have been born and died together for many years, Shu Shengxuan is really sad.
"Marshal, let's fight the enemy." Before Shu Shengxuan could speak, some soldiers in the army first shouted, and then the rest of the soldiers also shouted in unison. "Marshal, let's fight the enemy." "Marshal, let's fight the enemy." One after another, the high-pitched voice endures.
"Dad, you give the order." Shu Zhenxuan said.
"Marshal, give the order." Another general also persuaded Shu Shengxuan.
As long as he gives an order, this is the life of 10,000 people, how can Shu Shengxuan make that determination lightly. But now, he is forced to make a decision.
Who said that the general is handsome and majestic, and he carries the lives of tens of millions of people behind him.
"We're fighting the enemy." Shu Shengxuan's words came out, and there was already a tendency to break the kettle.
"Fight." The soldiers shouted.
Next, Shu Shengxuan began to deploy the following battle plan.
"General Tian, you divide the soldiers into two, leave the wounded soldiers, and the rest of the people, as soon as the time comes, they will be killed with me." Shu Shengxuan ordered, and after that, he turned to Shu Zhenxuan. "Zhenxuan, you also stay."
"Dad, leave General Tian behind, and I will go with you to kill the enemy." Shu Zhenxuan said.
"It's an order." Shu Shengxuan did not agree. "The soldiers who remain will be handed over to you."
"Yes." Shu Zhenxuan was very reluctant, but his father was handsome, he was a general, and as a soldier, he had to obey orders.
"Soldiers, this battle may be the last battle of our lives. Being able to fight with you for so many years is the most fortunate thing for me Shu Shengxuan in my life. Shu Shengxuan turned to his soldiers again. Rong Ma has been in the horse for decades, even he has a lot of emotion.
The soldiers did not speak, but each one of them was resolute without hesitation.
"There was still some time before the end of the day, and everybody wrote a letter to his family, and as long as one of us was alive, he sent it out." Shu Shengxuan said. They threw their heads and spilled their blood on the field, regardless of life and death for the sake of righteousness, and the only people they were sorry for were the people at home who were worried about them.
The soldiers dispersed, and Shu Zhenxuan stayed by Shu Shengxuan's side. Everyone knows that this battle is auspicious, so Shu Zhenxuan didn't say anything comforting.
"Daddy." Shu Zhenxuan's voice was very deep. No one here is afraid of death, and he is not afraid, but they are all dead, what about the living? Shu Qingyue is the only one left in the family. Three years ago, when Shu Ziqian died in battle, she cried to death, what would she do if he and his father were gone......
The sky was heavy, like a black pit, and all the qiē should be buried in it.
Shu Zhenxuan's eyes stretched into the night sky, and his thoughts couldn't help but go back to a long, long time ago.
Shu Qingyue has been a child, and her favorite is Shu Ziqian.
At that time, she had just learned to walk, he was five years old, and Shu Ziqian was seven years old.
That day, he and Shu Ziqian teased her together in the yard.
The nurse supported the little her, and he and Shu Ziqian were standing a meter away.
"Xiaoyue, come to the second brother's side, the second brother will give you a candy man to play." He bent over, shaking the candy man in his hand, and kept luring his sister past him.
"Satsuki. Over the big brother's side. Shu Ziqian and Shu Zhenxuan separated themselves from each other, and didn't take anything in their hands, just gently beckoned to their sister.
At that time, her small body was not very stable, she was still ignorant, her little head turned, and finally turned towards Shu Ziqian. She stretched out her two little arms to hug her, so she swayed left and right towards Shu Ziqian.
On the other end, he and Shu Ziqian were also staring closely, and if they saw that she had a tendency to fall, they would immediately rush over to support her. She tied a string of bells to her feet, and when she moved, the bells jingled and the ringing of bells, and the crisp sound was particularly beautiful in the courtyard. There were still a few steps before she arrived in front of Shu Ziqian, and when she was out of balance, she rushed forward, and Shu Ziqian picked her up.
"Big brother, you lied to me, this sugar man doesn't work for Xiaoyue at all, she can only see you in her eyes." He walked over, and when he looked at his sister, he would only stick to Shu Ziqian, and he muttered, with a look of envy, jealousy and hatred.
"I lied to you, don't believe it, you gave the sugar man to Xiaoyue." Shu Ziqian said.
So, he lifted the sugar man in front of her, and she actually shook a pair of small hands at him.
"At this time, I knew I wanted it." He was so angry on the spot, or gave the sugar man to his sister. Holding the candy man, she was very happy, bent her eyes wide, and smiled happily at him. She was small, and her pink face was also very cute, so he kissed her on the face.
Then, all three children laughed together.
……
During that time, the three children were carefree and playing in the house, which was the happiest time in Shu Zhenxuan's memory.
Carefree, nothing has been experienced, nothing has happened, and it would be nice if it could always be like this.
But who would have thought that Shu Ziqian left his most painful sister and died on the battlefield.
And she also lost her favorite big brother.
……
Thinking of his only sister, Shu Zhenxuan was distressed.
Soon after she was born, her mother died, her father fought all the year round, and he and Shu Ziqian grew up with Shu Qingyue, they cherished her, loved her, and wanted to give her all the best in the world.
However, the truth is the opposite, they have left her with too much worry and pain.
"Light Moon will understand." Shu Shengxuan said so, and he was also concerned about Shu Qingyue.
Shu Shengxuan charged into battle and fought bloodily, standing up to the sky, but as a father, he really owed his daughter.
"Do you want to leave something for Satsuki?" Shu Zhenxuan asked.
"You can write it, a few sentences is fine." Shu Shengxuan really can't put down this pen. What is he going to say, saying that her father died in battle, and tell her to take care? In the face of death, no words come pale. It can be regarded as that little bit of selfishness, Shu Shengxuan said to Shu Zhenxuan again. "Zhenxuan, find a way to survive and take care of your sister."
"Daddy." Shu Zhenxuan also had a hard time choosing.
