Chapter 20: The Heroes Sing Mightily
The wind and clouds are changing, the black clouds are pressing, and under the high lonely city, there are thousands of troops and horses, and the black pressure is overwhelming, and the soldiers are coming to the city. On the top of the general's seat, there was a young general, and in front of the general's seat stood several rows of ironclad generals, all of whom were panicked, and it seemed that they were frightened by the thousands of troops and horses under the city.
"Your Highness, we are alone and helpless, and we will lose if we fight again, so let's cut the land and seek peace."
"What? Cutting the land for peace, Qin is the division of tigers and wolves, cutting five cities today, cutting ten cities tomorrow, Qin Nai has more than desire, aiming to encroach on Bashu, this move is like holding a salary to fight a fire. ”
"Your Highness, the Qin army is strong, the country of Pakistan is weak, and we are powerless to compete with the Qin army."
"Generals don't have to worry about this, before I set out on the expedition, I asked my father to pardon the death row prisoners, let these death row prisoners go with me on the expedition, make meritorious contributions, and make them loyal to the country, so I can form five hundred dead soldiers, rush into the formation and kill the enemy army, General Wei can lead 20,000 elite soldiers to rush to kill, the inside and the outside should be combined, and the Qin army will be defeated. The six states of Shandong are afraid of the strength of the Qin state, and if the Qin army is defeated today, it will break the myth that the Qin state is undefeated, and we can use this to lobby the six states of Shandong to join forces to resist the Qin state and block the Qin state in the Hangu Pass. ”
"Your Highness is wise, okay, we will follow His Highness's arrangement."
"Okay, General Wei takes the order," the young general pulled out the token from the box above the desk and held it in his hand.
"Yes," General Wei stood out of the queue, his hands arched in front of him, waiting for the order.
"Wait for me to personally lead 500 dead soldiers to attack the Qin army's formation and kill the enemy army, and after that, you will lead 20,000 elite soldiers to foreign aid," he threw out the token after speaking.
"Order," General Wei picked up the token and returned to the queue.
"General Shen, General Han, General Xiao take the order," the young general pulled out the token from the box and held it high in his hand.
"Here," the three generals stood up, their hands arched in front of them, waiting for the order.
"Hold on to the city, don't go out of the city, no matter what happens outside," the young general tossed his token.
"Your Highness, if you make a mistake, we can explain to the king like this, you come to sit in the city, and the last general will go out of the city to meet the enemy on your behalf, you are the prince, the future prince, the lifeblood of the country, don't be rash."
"Military orders are like mountains, anyone who violates military orders will be beheaded!"
The young general walked out of the gate of the marshal's mansion, gathered five hundred dead soldiers, and took the stage to take the oath.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Qin army attacked the city, burned, killed and looted, and the people were miserable. The country, the society, and the country will face peril, and our people will face the ravages and insults of tens of thousands of Qin army iron horsemen, including your family, are you willing to see such a result? If you don't want to, take up the weapon in your hand now, serve the country loyally, and your wisdom will go down in history and be praised from generation to generation. ”
"We swear allegiance to our country," the voice shook the mountain, spreading thousands of miles away, thousands of miles away.
"Okay, then we'll have a drink at the Zhuangxing Bar," said the young general, who stepped down from the high platform to the long table, where the bowls were long and long. The soldier next to him walked to the table with the wine jar and poured wine into the bowl, and the young general raised a bowl of wine and said, "Dry." Five hundred dead men stepped forward and picked up a bowl of wine, held it up and said in unison, "." The soldiers drank all the wine from their bowls and smashed them to the ground.
"Soldiers, follow me out of the city to meet the enemy."
The young general led five hundred dead soldiers to rush into the formation, rushing back and forth to kill, and the five hundred dead soldiers all took off their clothes, and their naked bodies followed the young general into the formation to rush and kill, and they cut down when they saw people, and they were brave and invincible. The Qin army was afraid of this, Chen Shi began to be confused, and a veteran general on the chariot in the formation watched the formation, and when he saw that the enemy army was so desperate, he called a second lieutenant.
"Who is that young general in the array?"
"That young general is Gongzi Qi."
"Bring a bow and arrows."
The veteran on the chariot began to draw his bow and arrows, and the arrows flew out of the string through the crowd, and the young man on the horse saw the dark arrows flying, and he was too late to resist and shot in the chest. Gongzi Qi broke the shaft of the arrow, looked at the veteran on the chariot, rushed over, and as soon as the spear came out, the veteran was picked off the chariot and died on the spot. General Wei led 20,000 elite soldiers to rush over, the main general of the Qin army was dead, the formation was chaotic, and he fled in defeat, Gongzi Qi was about to chase the fleeing Qin army, but was stopped by General Wei next to him.
"Your Highness, the Qin army is cunning, and it is not appropriate to chase after you."
"The Qin army is strong, if this soldier flees, it will be revived, in the second siege, General Wei quickly returned to the city and could not hold out, the Qin army was exhausted, and it will retreat. If I die and don't return, and the enemy army attacks the city again, I can make the bow and crossbow meet the enemy, remember, don't go out of the city and fight to the death with the Qin army. ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince."
"Needless to say, if I am killed in battle, I will leave a letter on my desk, which I wrote to my father. If I don't return this time, I can make the third brother Chu Zong the crown prince, and the third brother is virtuous and abides by the royal road. ”
"Yes."
Gongzi Qi led 500 dead soldiers to chase the fleeing Qin army to the bottom of the valley, where the terrain was dangerous and easy to ambush, and the Qin army that had fled in front disappeared.
"Not good, I fell into the ambush of the enemy," was about to return and rush out of the valley bottom, arrows rained down, and the wood and rolling stones came down from the mountainside, more than half of the five hundred dead soldiers led by Gongzi Qi were killed and wounded, and the remaining dead soldiers rushed to Gongzi Qi's body, and said: "We swear to defend His Highness to the death and rush out of the valley." "Before and after the Qin army rushed over, the dead soldiers swore to fight to the death, killed a bloody road, escorted Gongzi Qi escaped, fled to the top of the cliff, the Qin army behind rushed forward, it seems that this is a Jedi, the Qin army chased after it, and out of it came a general, two sideburns and beard hanging down on the chest.
"Sickness."
"It is Ben Shuai I, Gongzi Qi, you are familiar with the art of war, so only you can break through the tens of thousands of Qin soldiers under the city, so I will lead you here to get rid of the troubles after the Great Qin."
"Okay, it's nothing for me to die, you can capture the city now, now that the Qin army has been fighting for a long time, how long can you support it?" Gongzi Qi turned to the dead soldiers beside him and said, "Soldiers, are you afraid of death?" ”
"We swear to die to serve the country, why are we afraid of death?" After speaking, he jumped off the cliff with Gongzi Qi.
"No, no, no——," Yuan Qi lay on the bed, kept shaking his head, opened his eyes and saw Su Ling sitting next to him for the first time, I don't know when he entered the room, look at the door, the door is closed. Yuan Qi sat up at the head of the bed and looked out the window, the sky was not yet bright.
"I'm having nightmares again."
Yuan Qi just nodded and said, "You got up so early." ”
"It's not dawn yet, so let's continue to sleep for a while."
"Now that the hosts are all up, can the guests sleep for a long time?"
Su Ling opened the door and walked out, closed the door, and went downstairs. At this time, Yuan Qi got dressed, made his bed, and went downstairs to prepare for breakfast, at this time Yuan Qi was thinking, this dream is so inauspicious, so dangerous, is it a bad sign, at this time Yuan Qi can't say, just a little worried, a little afraid.
