Chapter 3 Drift by
Speaking of armor, the most common infantry standard armor of the Honglie Empire is 28 catties of iron, two cowhides, not to mention the ring chain mail of heavy infantry and heavy cavalry, the 10,000 people under the marshal platform are complete in the troops, and the armor is different, and the armor of these people alone will cost millions of catties of pig iron.
Zhu Xiaofeng pulled me in front of the stage and whispered to me: "Brother Xian, everyone is looking at you now, say a few words to the soldiers." β
I sighed, knowing that since I had stolen everyone's limelight today, this speech would definitely not be able to escape.
But the speech is about talent.,I think it has to have at least three basic qualities of people going crazy.γTalkingγResentful women.,In short, you have to have a strong desire to talk and perform.,We look at the current time travel novel.,The protagonist is forced to say something in public when he can really spit lotus.,This is actually complete nonsense.,Speech is not for anyone to come.,I've seen an online writer who specializes in writing funny novels can't make a fart on the podium.,Well, ah, for a long time, and then use "then" Connecting all the statements that have no causal inflection is a shame!
As for me, it's no problem for you to let me talk about a psychology professor crazy in private, but giving a public speech is another matter, I stood in front of the stage, looking at the tens of thousands of pairs of eyes below and dizzy, what kind of eyes are they, eagerly, expectantly, eagerly, like a child waiting for an adult to take out a handful of candy from his pocket, maybe I'm not used to being looked at by so many adults with such eyes, I subconsciously took a step back and said vigilantly: "What are you looking at me like this?" I don't owe you any money. β
Someone laughed.
I said word by word: "I know what you are thinking - now I have finally copied it, and there is a sword god to carry it, and I have nothing to do." I raised my voice, "I have to tell you that I am not your savior, and that you have to fight the battle on your own!" β
The people gradually fell silent...... At this time, what my mother said to me when I parted before I came to the Honglie Empire came to mind, and I picked it up and said: "No matter how great a person's ability is, it is limited after all, if you think that if you want to win this battle and rely on a sword god to solve it, then it is a big mistake, if this is the case, the daughter country has Su Jing, then wouldn't they have destroyed Hegis and unified the continent a long time ago?" However, the daughter country has only maintained an invincible situation by forming alliances everywhere in Felibaha, which shows that a sword god is useless. I'm not saying this because I want to pick on the people, I'm afraid that you will pick on the people, because I see that everyone's posture is a bit like wanting to be a soy sauce party and a red fire I mean alone, you have to think so, at the small point it is a disaster for the country and the people, and at the big point it is to pay for the surname life! β
Shi Cundao whispered next to me, "You said the opposite......"
I ignored him and continued: "Maybe someone wants to ask, then what can you do, I can only say that I will treat you as brothers, most of you present are older than me, I will treat you as my own big brother, there is a saying on the battlefield called horse leather shroud, I don't want any of you to end up like this, I don't want you to talk about death and think that this is an honor, let the enemy horse leather shroud is glorious, after all, life is the most important thing, I don't say this to make everyone greedy for life and afraid of death, I just want you to live and enjoy victory, What I can do for you is to solve as many enemies as possible for you, maybe you had to deal with 10 enemies before, then I can help you reduce it to 9 or 8, but the rest of the things have to be done by yourself, this is like two brothers, occasionally the eldest brother has a firewood and rice when the brother can not catch up, but it is best to marry a wife and have children, these things are better to do their own things, all in all, I have one meaning: fight bravely, live well, not afraid of death or looking for death, most of the time, I am willing to rush ahead of you, But I may be lazy sometimes, because I am also human, and I also need to eat, sleep, and go to the toilet, and I can't guarantee that I will be with you forever, and after beating the bastards of Hagis back to my hometown, I will be ready to marry a wife. β
The soldiers in the audience looked at me in amazement, and I shrugged my shoulders and said, "It's useless to watch, I don't want to stay with you rough guys for the rest of my life - I like women." β
Shi Cundao almost fell off the stage when he heard this, and he blew his beard and glared at me in the back, and the soldiers laughed when they saw this scene.
I cleared my throat and said, "The last word, 30 years later, when your grandson is sitting on your lap, and he asks you what you did when you fought with Hejis, you can brag to him that grandpa was fighting side by side with the sword god at that time, that kid is okay, but your grandfather and I are more powerful than him!" Finished. β
There were bursts of cheers and laughter from the audience, I shrank back, and Shi Cundao reluctantly announced: "Let's go!" "Someone slowly beat the side drum, the company camp was reorganized, and the vanguard marched towards the border due west.
Shi Cundao stomped his feet vigorously and said, "In front of the three armies, why are you talking nonsense? β
I scratched my head and said, "Didn't I say it well?" β
Shi Cundao sighed again and again: "The decisive battle is imminent, as the master, you will not show your determination to die, what do you say about the trivial things of firewood, rice, oil, salt, marrying a wife and having children?" β
I said seriously: "Grandpa, I think the surname is very important, you can't say death at every turn, how can you win a battle when you die?" Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if we take the royal city of Hegis at any cost, what is the point of the people being separated from their wives? What do you say, Your Majesty? β
Zhu Xiaofeng has been expressionless since I spoke, and then Leng Ding said abruptly: "It's not early, let's go on the road." β
This is the first time he has made a face with me, and I understand that my speech must not have gotten along with Zhu Xiaofeng's intentions, and the most important point is probably that I did not respond to the fact that he planted the royal flag on the territory of Hejis, in my concept, if the anti-aggression war can be called justice, then what is the difference between us and Hegis when we invade others? I came all the way to the Federation Continent, firstly, I couldn't resist Su Jing's soft grinding and hard work, and secondly, I was for my mother's safety, and I was not interested in anything else, so how could I help Zhu Xiaofeng invade others? Even if it's aggression, it's supposed to help my mother.
I saw that a speech made everyone not very interested, so I slipped off the handsome stage, flew onto the oolong horse, and a silver bell-like voice sounded in my ears: "Fifth brother, you can be in the limelight now." β
I saw that it was Shi Dijia, and sighed: "What's the limelight, grandpa just said that I was talking nonsense." β
Shi Dijia's eyes widened and said, "No, everyone says you are right." β
"Who said that?"
"Those who were soldiers, they passed by me just now, I heard them comment in person, they said that the fifth brother respected the sword god but there was no fight at all, it was really like a brother who was fighting together in Pingyue, and many of them said that they really hope that the battle can be finished quickly, and they can see what kind of lady the fifth brother is looking for, hehe."
I scratched her nose and said, "Say hello to your dad and go back." β
Shi Dijia pouted and said, "Don't, he scolded me again." β
I smiled, and in a blink of an eye, I saw Gu Debiao's eyes staring at Shi Dijia for a moment, and I couldn't help but tell her: "Be careful on the way back." β
Seeing Shi Dijia leave, I was just about to leave, the reins were suddenly pulled by someone, I looked down and saw that it was Zhu Xiaofeng, he didn't know when he came down from the stage, he grabbed the reins of the horse, his expression was complicated, and he hesitated for a moment and said: "Brother Xian, I don't know if what you just said is sincere, I want to ask you, Hejis's soldiers retreated, are you still willing to charge for me?" β
I had a rare opportunity to look at this emperor of the Honglie Empire condescendingly, and I couldn't help but ask the question in my heart: "Your Majesty, if we turn from being invaded to invading others, what is the difference between us and Heggis?" β
Zhu Xiaofeng sighed when he heard this, and said a little sadly: "It turns out that the virtuous brother really has no intention of making a name, and I still look down on you." β
I blurted out: "You emperors, do you have to beat me and I beat you?" β
Zhu Xiaofeng couldn't help but glance at me, but after all, he just sighed and said: "If the virtuous brother has to answer, I can only say that although the world is big, if I don't fight others, others will come to fight me, if Hegis is not destroyed, the mainland will never be peaceful. β
"This ......" Zhu Xiaofeng said was indeed a problem, and I could only reluctantly say, "I hope that the emperor will no longer need me when the Hejis soldiers come to the city." β
Zhu Xiaofeng shook his head and said: "I hope you can think about my words carefully, if you have any new ideas, send someone to me at any time, and in the future, your letter can be sent directly to me without going through the military department and the cabinet." β
I arched my hand and said, "Your Majesty, take care." Zhu Xiaofeng let go of the reins and stood quietly, watching me and the soldiers of the empire gradually disappear into the horizon.
Walking on the road, I naturally followed Pu Qixiong's side, the vanguard of this army is Shi Chi, they have been on the road for a few days, and the remaining left, center and right armies have gradually distanced, marching separately, from noon to evening, we have been several miles away from Shi Cundao's Chinese army, the three armies both echo each other and relative reading power, that is to say, if there is no major accident, I will not see Shi Cundao and Shi Dong before arriving at the destination.
When the lantern was in hand, the army was encamped, and someone came to ask for instructions, the shift of the general on duty, and other matters, Pu Qixiong was speechless when he saw me, and guessed that I probably had no clue, so he made proper arrangements one by one, and ordered someone to bury the pot and make rice.
I was bored, so I dismounted and wandered around the camp with my arms thrown around, when a small group of about 60 soldiers came to me through the camp, knelt down and said, "See the former general left." β
I wondered, "Get up, is there anything wrong with you?" β
The first petty officer raised his head and said with a smile: "Fifth young master, you don't know me anymore?" β
I looked down and saw that this person was indeed very familiar, and then I patted my head and said, "It turned out to be you." β
At that time, Shi Cundao transferred 1,000 soldiers from the barracks to strengthen the defense, this colonel has been fighting to the end, and in the end, he also strongly advocated killing the killer of the main three-color stone of the Qingtan Altar, which impressed me, and then looked at the people around him, there were also a few vaguely seen that day, I hurriedly pulled him up and said, "You are also here?" "Seeing such a few acquaintances in this vast military camp makes people feel very cordial.
The little colonel said: "We have been ordered by the old general Puqixiong, and we are here to be your own soldiers." β
"Pro-soldiers?"
"Yes, the imperial court stipulates that generals above the third rank have their own personal guards, and General Pu Lao heard that we had entered the Shuaifu, so he sent us here."
I nodded, "Oh, I see." I said to him, "You all know more about these rules than I know in the army, and you will teach me more in the future." β
The little colonel smiled and said: "The fifth young master is now the former general of the left and the sword god, how dare we preach?" β
I laughed with them for a while, and learned that the school's name is Zhang Shilei, and the official is a third-class lieutenant, that is, he can manage less than 100 people, he entered the Shifu with his boss, and his commander died in that battle, he is already the only remaining officer among the 1,000 people, remembering the tragic scene that day, Zhang Shilei and others sighed, Zhang Shilei said: "If it wasn't for the Fifth Young Master's insistence that day, the three-color stone dog mongrel was almost taken away by that Huang Lord, and all the brothers who had been to the Shuai Mansion that day remembered the kindness of the Fifth Young Master." β
I waved my hand and said, "Brothers were born and died for the sake of our historian, and people should do this, what kind of kindness are you talking about?" β
Zhang Shilei looked at the soldiers under him and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and help the fifth young master set up an account." "Everyone hurriedly helped me set up the tent, and someone brought food, I sat on the ground with them, and everyone was also a friendship with each other, they were a fifth young master, and I was a brother and a brother, and there was an indescribable affection between each other.
Zhang Shilei said: "The fifth young master does not forget to call us brothers, we can't kick our noses in the face, there are rules in the army, don't scream in front of outsiders in the future." β
The crowd roared, "It's natural." β
After eating, a herald came to invite, saying that Pu Qixiong was holding a meeting in the big tent, I was busy taking Zhang Shilei and others to the outside of the tent, and saw that there were a lot of war horses at the door, and came in to see, and saw that the captains, tooth generals, and partial generals of each battalion had come, Pu Qixiong sat in the middle, the generals were on both sides, and there were 150,000 horses in the left army, and my identity at the moment was the number two person among these people. Either outstanding military achievements or seniority, the youngest is also 30 years away, I hurriedly returned a round of gifts, cramped: "In the future, don't be polite to me, just let me be bored and float by......"
It's going to be a war, my mood is so heavy, in this early morning, I suddenly miss Xi'an's spicy soup, the kind with meatballs.
