Chapter 897: The long sword is sonorous

The evil power unleashed by the Persians from the indigenous peoples caused so much damage that even the initiators of the Persians greatly exceeded their expectations.

Within a short period of time, the disease, which was carried by giant rodents, snakes and frogs, began to spread on a large scale. The western continent runs from west to east, thousands of miles of smoke and miasma, and the lives are mournful. Countless human beings of all races are shrouded in the shadow of death.

In the beginning, no one realized what was going on. Just feel terrible. It's like those Spartans who are extremely sturdy, jumping alive and going hunting, and coming back as a dying waste. Although he can't die for a while, this kind of unexplained half-dead appearance is even more terrifying.

This happens in many places. The elders and leaders of the tribes agreed that this was a punishment from heaven. All people living on the Western continent should endure such a catastrophe. There is no way to redeem yourself.

This understanding is accepted by the majority of the ignorant and backward people. Although there are also a small number of brave people who are unwilling to die like this for themselves and their loved ones, and want to find a way to save them. But after all the effort, it was still unthinkable. They don't even know where the disease came from, let alone anything else.

When death began to spread, news finally spread. Someone is starting to learn the truth. But it turned out that a small part of the indigenous people who were not killed by the brutal Persians, who fled into the world, exposed the methods of the Persians.

I see! After learning the truth, the people of all ethnic groups fell into extreme fear. The horror of the Persians has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow. Even if they do such a thing that people and gods are angry about, they are not capable of retaliating and punishing.

Not long ago, when it was learned that the king of Persia had been killed and that the Han Dynasty troops from the far east had entered this continent, there was a great shock in the hearts of some people who were unwilling to be enslaved for life. Although they did not dare to show it, they were jubilantly waiting for the complete destruction of the Persians.

But right now, it's so bad. The Persians were invincible after all. They did not hesitate to use such vicious means, losing the peace of the entire continent and everyone's lives, and they also had to fight the Han army to the end. According to the information obtained, the Han people were indeed timid. They all held the barrier and could not retreat. Only the people of this continent are left to suffer from the epidemic. Deep hatred arose from this, but what they hated was not the Persians, who were the culprits, but the Han army!

This kind of thing is a bit rebellious to say, but it is not strange at all. When the weak are violated, they do not resist the strong, but transfer their anger to those who want to help them. There is no difference between ancient and modern China and foreign countries.

A great plague destined to leave a record in the history books, it was under such circumstances that the madness began. This is the demon unleashed by the Persians, and it is this vast land and the thousands of living beings that live on it that suffer.

The Persians, who had become demons, would never have imagined how great their sins would be for the benefit of their own people. They could no longer see the horror of the death behind them. Now, in the blood-red eyes, 80,000 Persian combat forces, under the command of princes and nobles, are frantically rushing in the direction where the Han army is. A fierce battle is inevitable.

In the camp of the Han army, all the generals finally understood how terrible the situation outside was. After reading the books of those distant scouts flying eagles, they couldn't help but tremble a little when they held their swords and rushed to kill thousands of troops.

"Yuan Gong expected, sure enough, it was not exaggerated at all! I really didn't expect the Persians to be so vicious...... ”

Someone muttered to himself, his face pale. And the others are no better. The lives of these 100,000 troops are now in the hands of a few of their generals, and if there is a mistake, everyone will die without a place to bury.

"Fortunately, the camp has been prepared in advance. Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable...... At that time, I still suspected Yuan Gong's worries, but now that I think about it, I really deserve death! ”

There are not a few people who blame themselves in this way. While we haven't seen the tragic scenes depicted by the scouts yet, we can see the horrors of the Great Plague tales just by imagining the legends of the Great Plague that we have heard.

The generals who were in such a mood did not dare to take the slightest chance in their hearts. They immediately took action and carefully re-examined the precautions that Yuan Zhao had instructed before leaving. Some of the places that were not tight enough, under the stern orders of the generals, the loopholes were quickly filled, and everything was tried to be foolproof.

"Now, I don't know what is going on in the royal city...... What's going on? ”

After everything is arranged. The generals were a little relieved. In the twilight, I felt the dangerous smell of the wind. They gathered together, looking at the long sword inserted at the gate of the camp, and their feelings were indescribably complicated.

I heard that someone finally spoke out the worries of all the soldiers. Li Ling sighed silently. If he had a choice, he would follow Master at all costs, and even if he knew that he was stepping into a place of death, he would never look back.

However, he knew he couldn't be so willful. Now that he has put on his armor and served as the commander of this army, he is no longer the free and proud young man. What's more, Master's orders, he must strictly follow every word!

"Don't worry. As long as my master is there, death will be deterred! ”

The young man who has really grown into a general, when he gritted his teeth and said this, he looked up at the ink-stained sky and desperately held back the tears in the corners of his eyes. Even the most ferocious enemy he can draw his sword and rush forward to slash thousands of troops. But in the face of the imminent invasion of boundless darkness, he did not have the ability to split the sky and replace the light.

Li Ling's words did not get a response from others. Everyone bowed their heads and mourned. Everyone understands that faith and hope can bring courage. But in the face of such a disaster, even if it was Yuan Zhao, no one would believe that he could turn the tide and save everyone unharmed.

The invisible demon is not something that human beings can resist in the first place. The great plague recorded in the history books, which time did not die thousands of millions before it stopped! No one can defeat such an evil force unless it has had enough of wreaking havoc on the human world and returns to darkness.

"Get ready for battle! The Persians are coming...... Since they have paid such a great effort and price, they will not give up until they kill us all. ”

The smoke and dust in the distance obscured the night and the stars, and those roaring roars reached the ears like wild beasts. With their long swords unsheathed and their swords sharp, the 100,000 soldiers of the Han army on the expedition put aside all the cranky thoughts in their hearts and began to meet the most complicated battle in their lives.

It was on the eve of the outbreak of the Great War. There is no moon and no starlight. But a man carrying a torch walked through the deserted wilderness outside the city and calmly entered the city of the king of Persia in the darkness.

This closed and lonely city, his arrival was not expected. Just like the 30,000 Han troops who had accepted their fate, no one would have thought that at such a moment, their young commander would personally lead them to start another arduous battle.

After receiving the news, all the soldiers of the Han army hurriedly gathered in front of the palace and lit up the entire square with torches in their hands. They watched silently as the figure stood on the former high platform of this palace, and under the agitation of countless people, their blurred eyes were a little unable to see the appearance of that person.

But everyone is extremely sure at this moment, that is Yuan Zhao! The youngest prime minister of the Han Empire, the owner of the title in the name of the country, led them on an expedition of thousands of miles to co-commander. Then, they heard his familiar voice.

"I'm late, sorry! My heart is grieved for my comrades who have died because of this...... In any case, as the commander of the First Army, this is a dereliction of duty. ”

Everyone could hear his heavy sorrow in these simple words. In the excitement, some people couldn't help but shout.

"Yuan Gong! Hugh blames himself. This is all the poisonous ploy of the Persians...... You shouldn't have come to the city! The Western Expedition needs your full presiding, and the Han Empire needs you to guide the way...... If there is a mistake, I will be responsible for my death! ”

With this voice, the calm scene was broken, and many people shouted along with it.

"Please Yuan Gong get out of the city quickly! Focus on the overall situation, and never step into a dangerous ...... again. ”

"I can be so favored by Yuan Gong, I have no regrets in life and death!"

"Yes! Yuan Gong, please leave quickly...... The plague in the city is already terrible, and you must not risk it. ”

"Yuan Gong go to ...... quickly!"

Yuan Zhao stuck the torch in his hand on the high platform, and his face was firm and persistent in the light. He only waved his hand, and the voices below immediately subsided. Then, his words became impassioned.

"Now that I'm here, I'm not going to leave easily...... All of you, like everyone else in the camp outside the city, were brought out of Chang'an by me. I took you to fight for the country, across thousands of miles, and I didn't come here to die...... No matter how ferocious the Persians may be, and no matter how crazy their methods may be, believe me that there will be a way to survive this catastrophe. We are all of the same Chinese ethnicity with the same blood in our bodies, and when the calamity comes, no one is qualified to choose cowardly waiting, let alone give up easily...... I'm going to keep you all alive! This is the promise that this Yuan Zhao makes to all of you who are alive in the name of the country! ”

The wind passes without a trace, and the words are sonorous. When it was, the whole city wept.
