Chapter 404: War is imminent

"Then what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and pack up the city wall."

These Hu people have all reached the door of the house, if they don't fight, wouldn't it seem that the soldiers of their Great Liang Dynasty are as timid as mice.

"The general is about to order troops, bring some points and finish. Then the soldiers went to the gate of the city to report. ”

There are thousands of soldiers in the barracks of the Xincheng Guards, and before General Shangguan came to the barracks, they may not be considered real soldiers, but they were forced by the Hu people to choose to enter the barracks, pick up swords and guns, and protect their homes and relatives.

But at this moment, they already have the consciousness and tenacity of soldiers, after this period of training and systematic preparation, now they know what they need to enter the barracks and become a real soldier, after this night, they officially face a powerful enemy for the first time, and I believe that after this battle, they can better understand what they want to guard.

Under the blazing light of the torches, Lu Li turned his head to look at Shangguan Yuling's sword.

His expression was grim, and he didn't seem to have any expression, but his eyes were full of unwavering light, and under the faint light of fire, Lu Li could finally feel that Shangguan Yinling was different from others.

He grew up from a young age. All the hard work I have done, all the books I have read, and all the moves and styles I have practiced in martial arts, not for myself. Not to be competitive, nor to satisfy the Prime Minister and Mrs. Shangguan, he has had an ambition since he was a child, that is, to protect every common person in the Liang Dynasty.

Protecting the people of the Great Liang Dynasty is not only to protect them from the intrusion of war and the bullying of the surrounding aliens, but also to protect them from the oppression and exploitation of corrupt officials.

The people are the foundation of a state, but the foundation of the state is often at the lower level of status and power, which means that the people are likely to be bullied by people from the higher levels of power.

What he has been focusing on before is to uproot the corrupt officials in the tide and save the people from being bullied and oppressed by their own families.

And now, he has come all the way to this new border city to help the soldiers of the new city guard army to rectify military discipline, train them into a standardized army, and lead them to defend their homes and the country. To resist the enemy is to protect the people from being bullied by foreigners.

He is the one who really thinks about the people and the overall situation.

He has put his personal safety and everything on the line. All you could see in his eyes was how firm he was about to do. There is not half a minute of fear of the danger that is about to be faced.

Lu Li already felt very admired and proud just by looking at him like this.

Thankfully, she was able to be by his side. Support all his decisions, assist him in all his actions, and have the same expectations as him.

They all hope that the people will no longer be displaced, that the people will be free from both war and oppression, and that the Great Liang Dynasty will truly become a big country with a strong country.

It's up to them to change the chaos.

"Soldiers, listen to the order, go!"

The soldiers were divided into two teams, and the large army chose to go to the city gate to defend their homes on the city wall to prevent the Hu people from breaking through the city gate and entering the city, while a very small part of them patrolled the city, sending the people who did not hide at home to take refuge in their homes safely, and completely emptying the streets of the people.

"Lu Li Duan Lang, your squad will patrol the streets to ensure that everyone returns home safely."

Before stepping on the steps of the city wall, Shangguan Yinling turned his head and said to Lu Li and Duan Lang.

"General, this task Duan Lang can complete alone, let me stay with you." Lu Lidao.

"Obedient." Shangguan Yinling touched Lu Li's head, turned around and walked onto the city gate.

Lu Li looked at his back, his eyes were red, and his nose was sour.

Although they have been in deep danger many times before, there are very few who feel as uneasy and panicked as they are today.

She wanted to stay with him and not be separated from him for a moment.

"Dead girl, what are you doing here? Let's go and go back quickly, won't we be able to rush back to help the general? ”

Duan Lang looked at Lu Li still stunned, and couldn't help but reach out and pull her.

Lu Li nodded, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Two men with a small group of men and horses hurriedly patrolled the city, bringing the people who had not yet returned home on the street safely, and keeping an eye on them and closing the doors. Wait until the safety horn in the city sounds, and wait until you hear the cries of victory from the soldiers, and then you can open the door of your house and go out into the street.

The group turned around the streets of the city, separated by most of the city, and seemed to hear the sound of fierce fighting at the gate of the city, Lu Xuan couldn't help but be more worried, but at this moment she could only quickly complete her task.

Towards the end of the patrol, they found a trembling old woman hiding under a waste basket next to a garbage dump in the city.

When Lu Li opened the waste basket, the old grandmother thought that the Hu people had invaded the city, and she trembled with fright, until she looked up and saw that it was a soldier wearing their military camp armor.

"Grandma, it's dangerous in the city right now, let's send you home first." Lu Li and Duan Lang held one of the old grandmother's arms and asked her about the location of her home, "Grandma, where do you live, let us send you back." ”

"There's no one at home, and I'm scared to be alone."

"Do you have any other relatives in the city?"

"If you are alone, how can you have any relatives?"

Several people couldn't help but feel a little sorry when they heard her say this.

In the end, they sent the grandmother back to their home, leaving a younger soldier with her.

This little soldier is only less than 16 years old, and when he went to the barracks to join the army to fight, in fact, it was not simply to protect the family and defend the country, but the poor parents in the family died early, and the little brother was still young and incapable of making a living.

Seeing that he was so young, his face turned white with fright when he heard that Hu Ren had attacked the city gate.

It is indeed too difficult for such a young child to let him go into battle, so it is better to let him stay at the grandmother's house.

"Little Liu, you stay and take care of grandma, remember to stay at home and don't come out, if you don't take care of grandma, we can be dealt with by military law."

The child nodded vigorously and helped the old woman to sit on the edge of the bed.

Lu Li and Duan Lang glanced at each other, and were laughed at by his childish nature.

The two men left with the rest of the soldiers and made another round around the city.
