Chapter Twenty-Four: The Responsibility of Du Changjing!
Huang'an City is the border city of the Great Jin Empire, the population in the city is not large, about 3,000 households, about 20,000 people, but now Huang'an City City, the population is extinct, the streets are unoccupied and messy, there is no trace of vitality.
On the four major city walls of Huang'an City, east, west, north and south, the corpses are all over the place, the blood stains are stained, the corpses under the city walls are piled up with a thick layer, the heavy smell of blood and rancid smell makes people feel evil, there are a lot of vultures that smell and peck at the corpses happily, become their food city!
A month ago, Emperor Jin ordered Li Qi, the son of Li Jiang, to lead 50,000 Beijing troops to aid Huang'an, and finally came to Huang'an after a long journey of half a month, but at that time, Huang'an had fallen, and the people in Huang'an were expelled from the city by the Chang Sheng army.
In order to be able to quickly break the city and regain the lost territory, coupled with the death of his father, Li Qi attacked the city like crazy, in this half a month, Li Qi has launched three sieges, all of which failed and ended, but the soldiers of the Beijing division are all elite soldiers transferred from the various armies of the Great Jin, although they did not break the city, but they also made the Changsheng army suffer heavy losses.
The 50,000 Beijing division lost 30,000, and the Changsheng army also suffered more than half of the casualties, and the strength of the army was only 5,000, according to common sense, like this kind of siege warfare, with the strength of the Changsheng army, more than 20,000 troops were enough to resist the attack of the 50,000 army, but the Beijing division was the Beijing division, they were well-equipped, equipped with a large number of strong crossbows, and as soon as the soldiers of the Changsheng army appeared, they would usher in a terrifying rain of arrows.
The Changsheng army was lost in the firing range and was severely suppressed by Li Qi, if it weren't for the strong melee ability of the officers and men of the Changsheng army, the Changsheng army would have been wiped out.
On the east city wall, the tired soldiers sat on the edge of the city wall to rest, Du Yi and Du Changjing were side by side, observing the situation of the soldiers, after looking at it for a while, Du Yi pulled Du Changjing to a no-man's corner, Du Changjing frowned slightly, and asked with doubts: "What are you?" ”
"Check it out!"
Du Yi took out a piece of white paper from his arms and handed it to Du Changjing, his expression was sad, Du Changjing saw Du Yi's expression, his heart skipped inexplicably, and he had a bad premonition, when he unfolded the white paper, Du Changjing's eyes widened, and his hands holding the white paper were trembling.
At this moment, Du Changjing's eyes were red, tears flowed from his eyes without warning, and his expression was full of grief.
"Don't cry!" Du Yi gritted his teeth and snorted softly.
Du Changjing bit his lip tightly, bit the blood, endured the pain in his heart, and the whole person seemed to have lost his strength, his body was shaky, and his voice trembled and said to Du Yi: "Dad, is this true?" Tell me, it's fake, it's fake! ”
"Child, the current result was already thought of before the father's death, you are a smart person, you must have thought of it..."Du Yi muttered weakly.
Du Changjing squatted down, covering his head with both hands, the whole person was trembling, as Du Yi said, the consequences of the Du family being punished by the whole clan, he thought of it before going down, and he was mentally prepared, but the consequences really came, and all the psychological preparations were vulnerable!
Du Yi walked lightly to the edge of the city wall, his eyes looked at the Jin army camp not far from the city, "You are the most outstanding young talent of the descendants of the Du family, it can be seen from the strange breaking of Huangshi Pass, you will definitely become a famous general in the future, and even surpass the existence of your father, but unfortunately because of this matter, your future and future are in ashes, Dad asks you now, do you regret it?" ”
"I don't regret it, I'm just in pain, I'm sad, my mother is dead, my grandmother is dead, my uncle and my uncle are dead, more than 300 people, is my father really not in pain?" Du Changjing squatted by the wall, covered his head and said sadly.
Du Yi forcibly squeezed out a smile and showed a wry smile, "Silly boy, people's hearts are flesh and blood, how can there be no reason not to be painful, it's just that my father is a victorious general, and now the five thousand soldiers of the whole army are looking at my father, how dare my father cry in pain, do you think this time is just to punish our family?" Every soldier and relative of the victorious army has been affected, some have died, some have fled, it was the father who killed them, child, you say, does the father have the face to cry? ”
"I see!"
Du Changjing put away his tears, straightened his waist and stood up, looking at the Jin army camp with sharp eyes, Du Yi couldn't help but feel relieved to see Du Changjing stabilize his heart so quickly...
"Dad, let's fight to the death, I've been nesting in the city, the child feels that he is a nest, and he will die early and late, so he won't go down to the city to fight with them!" Du Changjing gritted his teeth and said.
After learning the news that the Du family was beheaded, Du Changjing's fanatical blood was already cold, and his hard-blooded heart was dead, and now he just wanted to fight to the death with the enemy army, and go to the Nine Secluded Land to apologize to the killed Du family!
"Okay, fight to the death!" Du Yi nodded without hesitation.
"I'll give the order!" Du Changjing couldn't wait to say, turned around and prepared to leave, and just as Du Changjing left, Du Yi quickly reached out and grabbed Du Changjing's wrist, Du Changjing couldn't help but turn around in confusion, only to see Du Yi take out a holy decree from his sleeve and hand it to Du Changjing.
"Daddy, what is this?" Du Changjing couldn't understand Du Yi's operation, and he didn't understand what Du Yi meant.
"When the two armies are fighting, you leave Huang'an with the holy decree!" Du Yi said with a solemn expression.
"What?" Du Changjing was dumbfounded, and after relieving for a while, he said a little angrily: "Dad, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that you want to leave the last trace of blood for the Du family? I tell you, no, I will never, I will die on the battlefield, I will never flinch, I will never steal my life! ”
Du Changjing was emotional, thinking that Du Yi had selfishness, in Du Changjing's view, more than half of the soldiers of the Changsheng Army were the only seedlings in the family, but they still followed themselves without hesitation, and now they died in battle, the bloodline was broken, and as a general, how could he be embarrassed to leave the bloodline, and in the future, a hundred years later, what face would he have to see the soldiers who died in battle.
Could it be that the blood of a general is a bloodline, and the blood of a soldier is not a bloodline?
Du Yi's eyes narrowed, his eyes looked directly at Du Changjing, and said meaningfully: "You have this idea, Dad is very pleased, you guessed right, Dad really wants to shed a trace of blood for the Du family, but you guessed wrong, Dad is not only for the Du family, but also for the 50,000 soldiers of the Changsheng Army!" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Du Changjing was a little puzzled.
Du Yi moved his gaze to the outside of the city, and said with a deep gaze: "The dead can sleep forever, but what about the living?" What will happen to the relatives of 50,000 soldiers after their children die? As you said just now, most of the soldiers in the army are the only seedlings in the family, and now that they have died in battle, how can their old parents survive? ”
"Dad let you live, I hope you can use all your strength to help them, leave the last glimmer of hope for the 50,000 victorious soldiers, and Dad wants you to go to the palace to see Your Majesty, and the holy decree given to you is also hoped that you can be handed over to Your Majesty!"
