Chapter 112: Repay the king's intention on the golden platform
On this night, a state of emergency began to enter the inside and outside of Dragon City, and all external passages were tightly sealed. There were some secret preparations that were not known to the outside world, and the deployment was completed just before dawn.
The people of Dragon City, who know some news of the war, are inevitably panicked. The enemy's army has already broken through the borders of Zhao and is advancing in the starry night, and perhaps when they wake up tomorrow, they will be overwhelmed by black clouds and surrounded by heavy surrounding. In the midst of such fears, many people stayed awake at night, preparing for how to flee once the city was broken. But there are also some bloody men who sharpen their knives all night.
"If this blood is thrown on the city wall, even if it can't stop the enemy's attack, it is enough to be worthy of the dead King Zhao!"
Someone whispered something like this to the remnant moon in mid-air. And the same belief exists in the hearts of many people. For bloody men, death is not the most terrible. Losing one's homeland and becoming a slave to the enemy is unacceptable.
These ordinary people, who sharpened their knives to the skil, had already made a parting with their respective families before dawn. They held their swords, carried their bows and arrows, and waited quietly for the summoning mission to arrive. All they need is an order to go into battle and kill the enemy, and they will go out of the house without hesitation to fight any enemy.
It's just that these strong men who have already made up their minds to die did not wait for the order to summon them into battle to kill the enemy. Although there were also royal ministers in Jinxiang Palace who made such a suggestion, they were flatly rejected by Chu Jiangmian.
"The fate of this land is now in the hands of those of us. Defend yourself against the enemy and protect the people. Where is the reason that compels the people to put themselves at risk? ”
After saying this, Chu Jiangmian walked out of Jinxiang Palace surrounded by guards. Behind him was Fei Yi, the minister of the state who was covered in armor, and he fought hard to get the opportunity to fight in person this time. The veterans Zheng Liancheng, Gou Wuxian, and Dr. Zhu continued to stay in the Fushou Hall and wait. They all already knew what Chu Jiangmian was going to do, although under the personal orders of His Royal Highness the prince, there was no way for them to fight in person, but thinking that a big battle would soon take place outside the city, everyone's hearts couldn't calm down.
"The three-way army is about to come to the city, what is the way for His Royal Highness the Prince to break the army and kill the enemy?"
Although his overall battle plan was already known, no one could continue to maintain his composure when the war was about to begin. Hearing someone's anxiety, Zheng Liancheng, a veteran who stayed here, couldn't help but have a proud look on his face. He was one of the first to know about some of the war preparations that Chu Jiangmian had made. If it was possible, he was very much looking forward to being able to put on his armor again, but unfortunately, Chu Jiangmian didn't want to give him this opportunity.
"Everyone, just wait here. If everything goes well, I believe that it will not be long before a new order from His Highness will come back. At that time, I hope that you doctors and adults who are rich and rival the country will not be stingy! Rewarding the sergeant and celebrating the victory must require you to pay more attention. ”
Hearing him say this, these doctors, who were all very wealthy in their families, rarely did not refute. They looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
"If Your Highness can really defeat the enemy this time, force back the invading enemy, and keep my Zhao Kingdom safe...... So what is the value of money? Don't say that the gold he borrowed from us before, we will never ask for it again. Even from now on, no matter how much he drives, everyone will definitely bow down to the order, and there will be no more hesitation. ”
"That's right! The words of the Doctor are the common opinion of all of us...... After retreating from the enemy, all of us will support him on the throne and will not turn back. Old general, if you know the details, just talk to us about it, so that everyone can rest assured. ”
These political doctors, who did not agree with each other before, have no choice now. Now everyone's common wish is that Chu Jiangmian will win! Otherwise, in the event of failure, all of them will die without a place to be buried.
Zheng Liancheng and Gou Wuxian were greatly relieved to see that everyone had such a firm attitude. Of course, they knew the use of Chu Jiangmian leaving them here, and immediately stretched out their hands to beckon everyone to come over. On the sand table model in front of them, the battlefield situation has been laid out by Chu Jiangmian at a glance, and they only need to explain.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is no need to keep secrets anymore. His Royal Highness the Prince's specific strategic deployment is ...... like this. ”
Soon after, the Elder Doctor Zizhong raised his head, his eyes wide in shock. And what he saw in the eyes of others was the same shock as his own.
It's just that Chu Jiangmian at this moment has no way of knowing what these people are thinking. When the fish belly was just white in the east, on the military field of the Wanshan Camp School in the south of the city, the first rays of light were projected onto the high point of the general platform, which was unexpectedly shrouded in a golden light. This young man, who was about to become the new king of Zhao Guo, stood on this high platform several feet high, looking down calmly on all the soldiers gathered in the square.
Wanshan Camp, as the name suggests, is surrounded by the largest military camp near Dragon City, with tall cedar trees on the scale of Wanting. This tree species that grows in the northern region has long been regarded as a heroic symbol of strength and indomitable by the people of the north because of its upright demeanor and tenacity. And this spirit, in a sense, is the embodiment of the dragoons stationed here.
Wanshan Camp covers a wide area. In addition to the dragoons, there were originally more than 50,000 standing troops. It's just that not long ago, they all went to the northern front with General Li Mu. The whole camp seemed much empty.
And at this time today, more than 10,000 soldiers of the Dragoon Army were all ordered to gather here. They already know what they are about to do, and that is to fight!
The morning wind of hunting and hunting blows through the trees in the distance, and the trees of the ten thousand cedars make a low sound in this waking morning. The sound was like a tsunami of mountains and a tsunami, and it was like the murderous aura of thousands of troops. Feeling this atmosphere, General Long Yu and all the generals and colonels standing in front couldn't help but raise their heads to look at the figure standing on the high platform, they had in their chests not only the impassioned enthusiasm that was about to set foot on the battlefield, but also the heroic pride of eager to make meritorious contributions.
Chu Jiangmian held a sword in his hand, which was the Fengyun Sword left to him by King Zhao. And the golden feather bow is enshrined in the center of the Dianjiangtai. He wasn't qualified to pull the bow yet, but he believed that his father was watching him calmly from behind. After many days of exhaustive thinking and planning, his face looked a little thin. But this did not detract from the sparkle in those eyes, which were deep and high. It was as if his ink-dyed hair was tied up, and his black cloak fluttered in the wind behind his back, making him even more heroic.
"Needless to say, war is coming. The enemy country's army has already invaded the territory of Zhao State, and in two hours at most, they will come to ...... Dragon City. ”
The army was silent, and all eyes were on, and Chu Jiangmian began to speak. In the occasional neighing of the warhorse, his every word was clearly transmitted to the ears of all the soldiers. No one wanted to express anything, these warriors firmly clenched the sword Changge in their hands, and the resolute color revealed in their eyes was the attitude in their hearts.
"I have never been on a battlefield before, and each and every one of you has followed your father through a hundred battles. I am not qualified to direct this war in front of you...... But in any case, having taken over this sword and this bow, I must not let their light be stained! From now on, I will fight side by side with you until ...... Wipe out all the invading enemies! ”
Chu Jiangmian pulled out the Fengyun Sword, raised it high above his head, and swore an oath to the sky above Dragon City. More than 10,000 dragoon soldiers drew their swords and swords almost at the same time, raising their arms and shouting.
"Fight for the King! Fight for Your Highness...... Zhao Guo Wansheng! Wan Sheng, Wan Wan Sheng......! ”
The voice is generous, and the mountains and rivers change color. Under the infection of this majestic momentum, whether it was a general or an ordinary cavalryman, the blood in his chest was boiling. Even the veterans who rushed to help on the side of the school military field couldn't help but look excited, as if they had returned to their youthful and fierce years.
"Zhao Guo will win! There is no need to doubt it at all...... However, the victory I want is not achieved by fighting with the blood and lives of our Zhao soldiers! This time, I want you to fight a beautiful and victorious war. Everyone is gone, and then come back safely! ”
Chu Jiangmian raised his voice, and everyone raised their heads in shock, not understanding the meaning of his words. No matter in the past or now, where are the immortals on the battlefield of iron-blooded fighting? If in order to defend one's homeland, killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred is certainly a disastrous victory, then it is also worth it. Every soldier who went out on the expedition had already prepared for this in advance.
"That's right! Don't be surprised, don't be suspicious, you heard me right. All I want is victory, but the destruction of my enemies! And you ...... Come back alive and in peace! ”
As the prince of Zhao shouted out this last sentence almost hoarsely, I saw him wave his hand and say to the audience: "Long Yu, Murong leaves the city, you two come up!"
General Long Yu, who was neatly draped all over his body, left the city together, stepped on the steps side by side and climbed the high platform, bowed down in front of Chu Jiangmian. Only when they really stepped on the stage of the generals did they suddenly realize that what they stepped on step by step was all paved with gold!
