On December 1, 970 in the Shenzhou calendar, it was a day that would go down in history for the human race, and the Xuanping Dynasty took the initiative to wage war against the demons, killing a total of 180,000 demon soldiers outside the city of rest, and their own casualties were less than 100,000.

When the news came back to Xuanping, some people sang and danced, and some people had their livers and intestines broken.

With 100,000 for 180,000, Xuanping won a great victory, and the most important thing was that the cavalry troops, especially the heavy cavalry and euphorbia, suffered few casualties.

The casualties of 20,000 heavy cavalry were less than 3,000, the loss of light cavalry was 20,000, and the loss of 200,000 euphorbia soldiers was 30,000. Even if the ancestor of the military family came six hundred years ago, he may not be able to do better than this, this battle is about national strength.

The first battle was won, Xuanping's soldiers retreated into the city of rest, there was no cheering in the city of rest, recuperating was the only theme at this time, they knew that today was just the beginning, and the road was still long.

With an army of 950,000, how many people can go back in the end? Fifty thousand? is still 100,000, and the soldiers know that the stele forest east of the rest city is most likely their final destination.

But what is there about it? If you don't stay there, your brother, father, and son will stay there in the future, and if you don't completely hurt the demons for a day, you won't dare to go out of the moat mountain again, and you won't be at peace for a day, if they don't die, the people behind them won't be happy.

At night, there was silence, the snow was falling silently, and the rest of the city was so white that it was impossible to see that there was a tragic battle during the day that had not been fought in a thousand years.

As the first fortress to defend against demons, the city of rest is on a grand scale, and it is even more majestic than the first level. The four generations of Xuanping monarchs continued to strengthen and expand steadily. In Yao Hong's dynasty, in terms of its scale, it will faintly surpass the imperial capital of Ping'an City, so the millions of troops stationed in Anxicheng will not be crowded.

When the time came, the soldiers of the Suppression Army in the city of Rest lived in a certain room. The charcoal fire beat gently, making the whole room warm, Xuanping spared no effort for this war, the grain, grass, clothing, and weapons of the million army are the best and fine food. With thick winter coats and sharp weapons, this expedition, Xuanping can really be said to have exhausted the national strength, and the savings of four generations are gone.

From the beginning of Taizu's unification of the Central Plains and the establishment of the Xuanping Dynasty after the end of the war. Until Yao Hong's generation, Xuanping beat the Northern Yuan Empire in the north from time to time, and took a defensive strategy against the demons in the west. Develop the economy internally and accumulate strength.

In the past 100 years, there have been four generations of Ming monarchs in a row, and the Xuanping Dynasty has been extremely strong, especially in the more than ten years of Yao Hong's reign, the national strength has developed to the peak, the government is harmonious, and the road is not left behind. Time can make people forget too much, but no one will forget the hatred of the demons.

How much has been saved by four generations for nearly a hundred years in a huge country? It can be seen that ordinary soldiers sleep with charcoal fire, and this is not 350,000, but a full 950,000, not including non-combat troops.

There are five people living in the room, they are soldiers of one of the soldiers in the Guanzhong Army, and the snoring sound came from the bed next to the door, it was the captain of these five people, Liu Fuping. Today, he killed a demon clan by himself, and he didn't do much harm, so he was really tired.

The two people in the further breath evenly, and called Wang Sheng next to Liu Fuping. The name next to him is Tian Le, he has been in the army for five or six years, and he has been cooperating tacitly and fighting together, and today he also worked together to fight a soldier of the tenth army of the demon race.

The two young people by the window are fellow villagers from a certain village in Jingchu Road, the innermost one by the window is the younger, only 20 years old, called Zhao Sheng, and the older one is only 20 out of 2, whose name is Li Rong, who only joined the army last year, has little experience, and has not made any achievements today.

Zhao Sheng put his hands behind his head, looked directly at the roof, and said in a low voice, "Why don't you sleep?" ”

"Can't sleep, haven't you slept either?" Li Rong, who was next to Zhao Sheng, turned over slightly, supported his head with his hands and whispered to Zhao Sheng.

"Homesick?" Li Rong asked, the two joined the army and left home for more than a year and never went back.

Zhao Sheng was still staring at the roof with wide eyes, and replied, "I don't want to, I told you, don't be a general." Never go home. ”

Li Rong knew that his fellow countryman was a little competitive, and he was angry that he couldn't kill the demon soldiers on the battlefield today, and he couldn't sleep at night. In fact, he himself is the same, but he is more open than Zhao Sheng thought, he has only been in the army for a year, he lacks experience, and it is normal for him to fight with the demon clan for the first time, and he did not get a bargain. Li Rong did not persuade Zhao Sheng, and he would fight hard next time he went to war.

"Brother, if you go back to our village one day, help me see the big mountain over there, I haven't seen enough, and the big red carp in the big river, which is the thickest willow tree, that is its nest, I caught it several times but didn't catch it." Zhao Sheng muttered in a low voice and said a lot.

There was silence again. Li Rong didn't reply to Zhao Sheng, he didn't want him to go back to help Zhao Sheng see it, he wanted him and Zhao Sheng to go to see it together when they returned to their hometown, to see the red mountain on the mountain at the door of the house, and to see the big carp that was about to become fine under the big willow tree.

But the war is ruthless, and he may die at the hands of the demon cub one day, he really can't guarantee it, Li Rong turned over, lay down, and said after a long time: "When the battle is over, let's go and see it together." ”

"Hopefully!" After Zhao Sheng finished speaking, he closed his eyes and stopped talking, and soon there was an even breathing sound.

Five days later, the heavy snow had begun to melt, and the climate in the west was very cold, and the melting snow was frozen not long after, and the ground outside the city became difficult to walk, which was very unfavorable for the Xuanping soldiers to fight. The demons began to take the initiative to attack, their skin was rough and thick, they were not afraid of cold, they were not afraid of freezing, and the soles of their thick and hard feet were not affected by the permafrost at all, and a column of demon soldiers advanced in the direction of the city of rest.

Since Ke Xuanping's high-level leaders chose to send troops in winter, a season that has no advantages over the human race, it naturally makes sense and has already taken protective measures.

The gate of the city of rest opened, and a group of soldiers walked out, all wearing dark black military shoes, which were different from ordinary military shoes, which were specially created by Xuanping for this battle, and the soles were added with special metal, so that the soldiers could easily walk on the ice.

Today's battle is different from the first battle, Xuanping is only an ordinary army. What Xuanping has to do is to fight with the demons for national strength, and the demons to survive, three winters, as long as three years, as long as this battle lasts for three years, the demons will not be able to hold on, and victory will come.

Xuanping doesn't want to really fight with the demons all at once, the victory in the first battle does not mean that the whole war will be won, as time goes by, the victory will slowly tilt towards the demons, this is a racial advantage, three years is not short, but Xuanping can afford it, and it will also be consumed.

On the battlefield, there are only two results, life or death, even if the scale of the battle is small.

Zhao Sheng's army was sent out, and it was still a tragic battle. Zhao Sheng, who got his wish, was extremely brave, and the fast knife in his hand kept waving towards a demon soldier. But the demon soldiers are not good, and the two of them fight together.

The physique of the human race is still a little worse than that of the demons, and the euphorbia can still fight with the demon soldiers, and the ordinary Xuanping soldiers and the demons are killed, and at the beginning they may be able to rely on that ruthlessness to fight, but they can't stand the long-term consumption, slowly, Zhao Sheng began to fall into the downwind, from attack to defense, step by step, the tiger's mouth was shattered, and the hands holding the knife trembled slightly.

Seeing that Zhao Sheng couldn't parry, Li Rong abandoned the demon soldier who was fighting and ran in the direction of Zhao Sheng, wanting to support Zhao Sheng.

The demon clan who fought against Zhao Sheng saw that the opponent was getting weaker and weaker the more he fought, and suddenly became arrogant, grinning in disgust, and launched a fierce attack on Zhao Sheng with a cruel smile, the huge and heavy mace smashed towards the top of Zhao Sheng's head, Zhao Sheng retreated and raised the knife in his hand to resist, but his strength and speed at this time were comparable to the demon soldiers on the opposite side.

When it was too late, it was too fast, and when the mace was about to reach the top of Zhao Sheng's head, a quick knife appeared from the side of the demon soldier, and the mace and the thick green arm fell together. The person who shot was Li Rong.

The demon soldier who lost his arm fell to the ground and covered his wound and wailed, Li Rong smiled at Zhao Sheng, but Zhao Sheng's eyes glared at the boss, and then rushed to Li Rong and threw Li Rong to the ground, and before Li Rong could react, he was poured on his face by a hot liquid.

got up and looked up, it turned out that it was the demon soldier who was fighting with him who chased after him, and after he cut off the arm of the demon cub on the ground, the demon soldier who caught up behind him also waved the butcher knife at him, and Zhao Sheng threw himself to the ground and took a stick from the demon soldier.

Zhao Sheng's back was blurred by the mace of the demon soldier, and seeing that he couldn't survive, Li Rong's eyes were split, and he roared angrily and rushed towards the murderer, and at the same time Zhao Sheng's weak voice sounded in his ears: "Brother, don't forget what I said!" ”

Wang Sheng and Tian Le were grief-stricken when they saw Zhao Sheng die in battle, but they couldn't spare their hands to help Li Rong, and their opponents were also extremely powerful and difficult to deal with.

The battle situation is getting more and more intense, the casualties are increasing, Li Rong finally failed to complete what Zhao Sheng entrusted, and died under the axe of another demon soldier, Wang Sheng yelled at Tian Le before the demon soldier's iron rod fell: "Don't forget Zhao Sheng's matter!" ”

Wang Sheng and Tian Le didn't sleep that night, or they didn't know when they woke up, and he knew both the conversation between Zhao Sheng and Li Rong.

Tian Le just wanted to say yes, but found that his waist was cold, "Boss, I know you also woke up that day, so I'll leave it to you." This was the last sentence Tian Le said before he was beheaded. It was said to his Wu Commander Liu Fuping.

A year later, in the spring, a strange guest was welcomed on the hill in front of an unknown village in Jingchu Road, he looked at the red mountains in the mountains, his eyes were full of sadness, and after a long time, he came to an old willow tree by the river, leaned over to look into the river, and a big red carp swam around in the water with a group of small red carp.

This strange guest's name is Li Heng, and he is the battalion commander of Liu Fuping, Wang Sheng, Tian Le, Zhao Sheng, and Li Rong.
