12. Sacrificial flags

"Wuguo, are you going to go out to fight again?"

In the early morning, there was still a trace of mist floating on the river, and the suona sound of the Zhou Dingyuan Army had resounded in the sky.

This is just an ordinary day, and the heaven and earth are still the same, but the people who live in the heaven and the earth, after today, a few people will be able to see the world again.

Man misses and fears heaven and earth.

But heaven and earth have never looked squarely at the insignificant.

It seems to be really ruthless!

Zhu Wu sat on the chair, Lan Yu helped him wear the combat boots inlaid with iron nails at his feet, and the little girl Xiu'er got into his arms and reluctantly hugged his neck.

"Xiu'er, be obedient, the fifth brother has to do the right thing!"

Xiu'er was a little taller, her eyebrows and eyes were also a little opener, and she looked at Zhu Wu, "Guo, be careful!" โ€

"Good!"

Zhu Wu smiled, rubbed his hands on the girl's head for a while, making the girl giggle, and then stood up.

"Brother is gone, you are obedient at home!"

"Hmm!" The girl nodded heavily, and then looked at Zhu Wu, with tears in the corners of her eyes, but a smile on her face, "Fruit, it's time for you to find me a sister-in-law when you come back, Xiu'er is a big girl, I can't live with you all the time!" โ€

"Okay, when my brother wins the battle, I'll find you a good sister-in-law!"

Beep beep beep ~~~~

The suona of the Dingyuan Army was still ringing, and a team of elite soldiers, under the leadership of the team officer, went out of the camp to line up.

On the river in the distance, the sailors' trumpets are long and loud, the sails are raised, and the battle flags are fluttering in the wind.

"Boss!"

On the platform, the armor leaves of the generals collided crisply when they bowed to the military salute.

In the audience, countless pairs of eyes, with a look of trust and awe, looked up at the young manager.

For a moment, there was silence between heaven and earth. In the wind, only the sound of the rapid swing of the battle flag seemed to guide the way.

"Brothers, the soldiers of the Dingyuan Army!"

Zhu Wu stood on the platform, his voice floating in the air.

"On the other side of the river, there is the rich land south of the Yangtze River, with countless grains and inexhaustible gold and silver."

"On the other side, there are large tracts of fertile land and herds of cattle and horses."

"On the other side, there are spacious and bright houses, delicate women!"

There is no need for any rhetoric, let alone any nonsense in the court, and the dog official should kill.

Rebellion is rebellion, and rebellion is justified and unjustified. For the soldiers of the Dingyuan Army, rebellion is for food, gold and silver, and for survival.

Zhu Wu suddenly raised his voice and roared, "You are starving and cold, and you are prosperous and rich over there." Are you willing, follow me Zhu Wu to kill it! โ€

"Grab money, grab food, grab land~~~"

Between heaven and earth, tens of thousands of people roared in unison, "Grab money, grab food, grab land!" โ€

"Killed the past, broke the city of the government, and the treasury of the government with gold, silver, and property. Zhu Wu will reward you all. Follow me, conquer Jinling City, and never be poor again! โ€

"Conquer Jinling City, and never be poor again!"

The soldiers roared.

"The chief manager has an order!"

Hu Weiyong, secretary of the marching army, stood up from behind Zhu Wu, held the military order, and read it aloud.

"Don't infringe on and kill the people, don't rape ** women, and don't rob property!"

"It's doggy again!"

The soldiers looked at Hu Weiyong's unkind expression, and as soon as the battle was about to be completed, the thief said that this is not allowed, and that is not allowed.

"When encountering the enemy, one person retreats and kills a team, and one team retreats and kills a battalion."

"The main general will die in battle, the deputy general will be on the battle, the deputy general will be killed in battle, and the thousand households will be on the thousands. Officers are killed in battle, veterans are on! โ€

After Hu Weiyong finished reading, he took a few steps back and stood behind Zhu Wu.

Zhu Wu understood that the discipline of this army was not good enough to take a stitch from the people.

However, we must not become beasts that distinguish between right and wrong.

Swish!

Zhu Wu slashed to the sky, "Zhu Wu swears here, if the brothers who died in battle have family members, Zhu Wu will raise them, and they will not starve and freeze."

The injured brother, Zhu Wu will also raise him, so that he can have no worries about food and clothing! โ€

Bang!

A cannon rang out.

Lan Yu shouted behind Zhu Wu, "The chief steward sacrifices the flag!" โ€

Then, an old ox, dragged by his own soldiers, walked to the front of the military formation.

"Chang Yuchun, for me Zhu Wu, for us to set the Yuan Army, sacrifice the flag!"

Chang Yuchun was naked, revealing strong muscles and a scar, and strode to the cow.

The old scalper seemed to understand his fate, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and his front legs knelt on the ground.

"The emperor and queen of heaven are on the top, bless me with the Dingyuan army, and the banner will be victorious!"

A bowl of wine was sprinkled on the ground, and Chang Yuchun raised the long knife in his hand.

"Phew!"

Knife, breath through Changhong, courageous!

Thump~~

Boom~~~

The head of the cow fell to the ground, and the body of the cow fell stiffly.

On the face of Chang Yuchun, the burly body is full of blood gushing out of the neck of the ox, steaming and steaming, like a killing god who came out of hell.

"Whew!"

He raised his head to the sky and roared, striking his chest with a long knife.

"Dingyuan Army, Wansheng!"

Zhu Wu raised his head amid the shouts of the soldiers and looked at the other side of the river.

"Dingyuan Army, let's go!"

Yuan, in the winter of the twelfth year of Zheng, Zhu Wu, the governor of Hezhou, led the army across the river. The north of the empire is constantly fighting, and the south is also beginning to be filled with gunsmoke.

Guo Zixing is old, too old to look good.

At this time last year, he was still a high-spirited tycoon, lurking in Haozhou City, ready to take these life and death brothers to get ahead in this troubled world.

But now, with his white hair on his head, curled up on the bed, and there was no trace of life in his cloudy eyes, he was an old man who was about to die.

"Father, we're here!"

Zhu Chongba sat in front of the window and gently pulled up Guo Zixing's thin palm.

"You're here~" Guo Zixing struggled to prop up half of his body, "I'm afraid I'm not hitting this body." โ€

Ma Xiuying felt uncomfortable, this is the relative who has raised her for more than 20 years, not her father, it is better than her father, but because of ยทยทยทยทยท

"Dad, the doctor said, you have to take care of yourself!"

Ahem, ahem!

Guo Zixing coughed a few times, spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm mixed with dark blood, and said weakly, "I know my own body." Goruia! โ€

"We're here, what does my father command!"

Seeing the desolate appearance of the person in front of him, Zhu Chongba's heart felt that the slander he had once made against him had long since disappeared, leaving only some sympathy and pity.

"You two, find a good day and get things done!"

Guo Zixing coughed again, "Let me be happy before I die, happy!" If I die in front, the matter between the two of you will have to be delayed~~"

Zhu Chongba and Ma Xiuying glanced at each other, and there was something incomprehensible in each other's eyes.

"Go back, let's find someone to calculate the days, and the New Year will be over soon, let's be happy!" Zhu Chongba smiled slightly.

Ma Xiuying silently wiped the corners of her eyes, met Zhu Chongba's gaze, and showed a little smile.

Guo Zixing continued, "Guorui~Haozhou is not a place to stay for a long time, Xiaowu~ will not let us live a stable life on his back!" โ€

As he spoke, he grabbed Zhu Chongba with his movable hand and stared at his eyes, "Before he has a murderous intention, go to Luzhou, and there will be a way out in the west!" โ€

"Hmmm! Let's prepare to fight Anfeng City in these days, expand the army with food, and go down to Luzhou! โ€

"Good! Good! Guo Zixing nodded weakly, seemed to be tired, and lay down again, "Guorui, don't forget, what you promised me at the beginning!" โ€

Kill Little Five?

Zhu Chongba's hand loosened.

We just mumbled vaguely, but we didn't agree!

Xiao Wu's smiling face appeared in his mind, and Zhu Chongba was silent.

Guo Zixing fell asleep groggily, and Zhu Chongba and Ma Xiuying went out lightly.

Out of the door, Zhu Chongba said with his hands behind his back, "Sister, what do you think?" โ€

What does this mean, Ma Xiuying knew it, bowed her head and said, "What can I think of a woman?" Heavy starling is in charge! โ€

Zhu Chongba turned around and smiled, "Okay, wait for us to lay down Anfeng and come back to marry you!" โ€

"Damn the wind!"

On the river, Zhu Wu was on the Dadu, cursing the weather.

It was fine just now, but now the wind direction suddenly changed, and the Dingyuan Navy crossed the river with the wind, and the fast boat loaded with soldiers at the front was moving slowly.

On the other side of the river, the officers and soldiers on the watchtower spotted the fleet on the river.

Dangdang!

The alarm bell rings.

A hysterical roar rang out, "And state thieves!" And the state Zhu Wu! โ€

The barbarian Hague of the quarry rock general did not care about the drape, climbed to a high place, only to see that on the river, the Dingyuan Navy Clipper was the vanguard, a huge building ship was the Chinese army, with countless warships, Mount Tai was generally killed.

"Zhu Wu, if the big ship sailor of the imperial court is here, how can you be so arrogant!"

The barbarian Hague shook the braid on his head, scolded a few times, and saw that all the departments on the shore were in a panic, and scolded, "What are you panicking, the thief is coming and picking up a knife to cut it, the shore is shallow, and you can't rely on the shore, the thief is a live target, and the army meets the enemy with me!" Kill the thief, everyone has a reward. โ€
