471 Military Glory

Every year in spring, it is a high-frequency period of enemy sneak attacks. At this time, they had been hungry for a winter, and they had basically reached their limit, and they urgently needed to enter the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty to grab food.

Zhong Liche was in the imperial capital last year and did not participate in the expulsion war, but he did participate in the first two years. This year, he did not return to the imperial capital, so he still led the troops to attack.

He knew that the generals in the army belonged to different factions, but he could never have imagined that they would act at this critical moment.

After he attacked with his descendants, he did not find the original unit responsible for escorting grain and grass in the agreed place, but was attacked by the enemy.

That's it, in the vast grassland, it is normal for the enemy to come out hungry to fight guerrillas.

But when he led his subordinates to repel the enemy's attack and lured the enemy deeper according to the original plan, he didn't see the team that was supposed to support! Knowing that the situation had changed, he was very-excellent-excellent-small-said-more-new-most-fast-www.uuxs.cc-quick to make a decision, leading the people all the way to the original place.

Unexpectedly, he had only walked a short distance with the team, and he was attacked by the enemy on both sides.

Someone must have leaked his battle plan - or someone who collaborated with the enemy and treason, which made him furious, but no matter how angry he was, he had to bring the army back to do it.

The army that originally supported did not come, but the enemy army came, caught off guard, even if he already had his own hand with the troops, he had to be defeated.

Desperately clearing a bloody path, retreating with the remaining half of the team, and marching into the depths of the vast grassland.

It is said to be a grassland, but in fact, because the winter snow is very thick now, it is similar to the snow field.

He led the brigade all the way to hurry, and the pursuers behind him kept chasing closely, and the situation was very bad.

With no food and grass, and only enough food to eat for five days, he was anxious along the way.

But after all, he also has real talent and learning, and he has also hunted on this grassland, so he has a better understanding of the grassland situation, so he led the team to hold on for more than ten days.

However, the environment was harsh, food was scarce, and the war horses were hungry, even he could not prevent some soldiers from falling behind or dying of wind and cold, coupled with the continuous pursuit of soldiers behind him, the two armies fought from time to time, and more and more people died.

Every soldier he brought out himself, and he was generally very young, some had never married, some had just married a beautiful girl, and some might have just had babbling children, and these people were dying more and more in this snowy field.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers, Zhong Liche's self-blame and resentment almost crushed him. If it weren't for the soldiers still alive, waiting for him to take them out of trouble, he would have gone up and died with the enemy.

He knows the feelings of living and dying together, and because of this understanding, he has a strong will to survive after being discouraged and desperate. He's going to take the rest of his brothers back alive and settle accounts with those people!

With this belief in mind, he ordered his soldiers to slaughter horses to satisfy their hunger, because there were many brothers who had been lost, so there were many surplus horses, and they survived day after day by eating horse meat.

Every soldier who lived had a feeling that he must go back alive and avenge his dead brother, and gritted his teeth and survived.

But the horses are getting fewer and fewer, and eventually, the mounts under them will be killed.

Everybody doesn't want to, but everybody knows they have to.

Everyone had fought with their mounts again and again, and had long established a deep relationship, but at such a moment, they had to stretch out their butcher knives to their mounts with tears.

The hatred in the heart, the pain in the heart, raged in everyone's body and heart, and finally this hatred was transformed into the will to survive.

Later, they even felt like wolves in the snowfield, with green eyes, struggling to survive.

They stayed up for more than ten days, and finally reached the edge of the grassland and came to a hill.

On both sides and behind the hill, there are towering snow-capped mountains, and they have no way out!

Zhongli Che rushed in this direction because he knew that this hill was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was his only chance.

When they reached the hill, they were busy laying traps at the foot of the hill, and then guarding the hill, preparing for positional warfare.

The trap is well set, and the enemy has caught up.

It was a team of three thousand people, and although it looked down, it was much better than Zhong Li Che and them.

"Of our more than a thousand brothers, there are only a hundred left. They pursued 10,000 men, and they also lost six or seven thousand, which was worth it. A soldier said with red eyes.

"That's right, it's worth ......" and another soldier responded.

Zhongli pursed his lips on the cold hard ground, listening to the soldiers' whispered conversations, not missing the sadness in their tones.

No matter how many enemies are killed, the dead comrades will never return. It's not because the tactics are bad or the soldiers are too weak, it's because someone in the barracks is framing for selfish gain! This is unforgivable!

Thinking of the comrades-in-arms who had closed their eyes forever on the snowfield, Zhong Li Che closed his eyes, and now he was even glad that he only brought a thousand soldiers and horses to attack.

Perhaps this is also the reason why those men attacked, mainly to get rid of themselves, and did not intend to get rid of all the soldiers under his command - the number of people lost was too great, and the old sage must have been furious, and ordered a thorough investigation. They didn't dare to take this risk, so they had to choose to strike in the spring, when he was attacking with his small team.

It was bitterly cold in the northwest, and there was light snow sporadically, and Zhong Liche and his party didn't have too many warm clothes, and they were hungry, but they insisted on holding on the hill for five days.

After only five days, many people were already weakened by hunger and cold.

During these five days, the enemy troops under the mountain had made several surprise attacks, but they were not very comfortable, and in the end they simply did not retreat or attack, and wanted to grind the troops on the mountain to death.

Early this morning, the sun appeared in the sky, but the temperature in the sunlight was too low, and it was not much different from it.

Zhongli Che was so hungry that his stomach spasmed and he raised his hand, but he could barely lift it—all the horses had been killed for meat, and they hadn't eaten for two days.

In normal times, two days without food is nothing, but in such a cold place, they have to rely on the calories of food to resist the cold, and they have to be highly vigilant against enemy attacks, and they are already extremely weak.

"General......" the voice sounded so weak that it was almost inaudible, "I can't do it, you, you kill me...... Eat something...... Certain...... Gotta go back alive......"

Zhongli turned his gaze blankly to look at a young soldier lying on the ground beside him—at this time, he could barely make out the other person's appearance, because this person looked to be in his fifties!

Hearing that sentence clearly, and putting that sentence into his mind for a while, and understanding what he meant, Zhongli Che's eyes moistened, but he quickly gritted his teeth and roared with the last bit of strength,

"I will never eat my comrades-in-arms, and our army will never eat our own comrades-in-arms!"

Even when he roared, the volume was frighteningly low, and it was impossible to hear what he was saying if he was far away.

"General...... Checkmate...... You will live...... Go back alive...... Avenge...... Help us ...... Help us get revenge......" The soldier's angry voice sounded again.

"No...... You all have to live, go back and avenge yourselves! I will never help you take revenge, absolutely not! Zhongli Che bit his arm and said sharply.

This time his voice was louder, and the living soldiers heard it clearly.

But only rapid breathing responded to him, and many people were already too hungry to speak, even the adjutant beside him.

Zhong Li turned his face sideways, looked at the adjutant beside him, saw that his face was as gray as ash, he was lying on the ground, gritted his teeth, took out a dagger, skillfully cut his wrist, and stuffed his wrist into the adjutant's mouth.

As the blood drained, he fainted for a while.

When I raised my eyes, I saw a very clean sky, and the sun was so bright that it made people cry.

The cold wind blew, and it seemed to have a vague floral scent, just like the smell he had smelled when he met her that March.

I'll never see you again, never again. I thought that if I didn't go back, I would forget about you one day, but you took root in my brain.

Goodbye, my Hua Tian.

Zhong Li Che withdrew his hand and sat up with difficulty holding on to the dirt on the ground, a large amount of sweat flowed from his forehead, his eyes were illuminated by the sun, and his eyes and even his head were full of color.

He miscalculated, he should have killed a few enemies at the last moment when he could move.

He has profound skills, and he has reached such a juncture at this moment, what about the rest of the soldiers?

Perhaps, going back alive is an empty word he said.

Looking at the current situation, no one will be able to go back alive.

He turned his head and looked back at the eyes that had been looking at him because of his movements.

I don't want to starve, I want to die on the battlefield.

In his gaze, someone staggered to his feet, returning the same resolute gaze.

It was as if a miracle had happened, and a person who had been so hungry that he could not even speak was able to sit up and stand up slowly.

We live and die together, we will die on the battlefield, at the hands of the enemy!

This is the glory of the soldiers, this is the fate of the soldiers, this is the pride of the soldiers!

Zhongli Che stood up, and swung his long sword in his hand, slicing the neck of one of the enemies who came to sneak attack.

I think that the enemy army saw that there was no movement here, and thought that they were too hungry to move, so they came up to attack.

Killing one, Zhong Li Toru took the long sword and began to harvest the sneak attackers who came up.

Anyway, I can't live anymore, so why not kill a few more?

These people, trampling on the land of the Great Zhou Dynasty and oppressing the people on the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, should be killed!

The soldiers, who were already too hungry to move, were like returning to the light, full of divine power, and killed the enemy who came to sneak attack by surprise.

Fresh blood stained the land, and some people laughed, probing to suck the blood flowing from the enemy's body, and suddenly refreshed their spirits.

More and more people imitated it, and they gradually gained strength in their hands, and they killed the enemy more vigorously.

However, there are more and more enemies sneaking up, and there are more and more wounds on their bodies, and it is becoming more and more difficult to hold on.

Just when everyone thought that this was the last moment of their lives, a muffled thunderous sound sounded in the tent of the enemy camp in the distance, and then the earth shook as if the mountains were shaking. R1152
