Chapter 161: Playing the Golden Drum in Front of the Stage (Seeking to Complete)

Qiu's family is a remnant of the Shang Dynasty, and the family emblem is a noble bird, but Wang Li studied it for a long time, and he didn't understand what kind of bird Qiu He brought up, nine heads?

Could it be the legendary ghost car?

Wang Li looked at it for a while after taking it, folded it and put it in the backpack behind him, "When I hit Lin Hu, it is estimated that it will be summertime, I hope your people can live until that time." ”

The corners of Qiu He's mouth twitched slightly, and he kowtowed silently.

"The emperor said that you can go to Liaoyang City from Lu Longdao to see the battle situation first, according to the emperor's deduction, Donghu should not last more than two months." Zhai Qiu said.

"We only have 14,000 people, and only 4,000 of them can barely fight the Donghu Rangers, what are we going to do in Liaoyang?" Wang Li glanced at Zhai Qiu, "Even if we meet a small wave of Donghu rangers, it is enough for us to break our muscles and bones, our purpose in this battle is to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle and rescue the Donghu refugees, not to go thousands of miles to help their Qiu clan." ”

Zhai Qiu frowned slightly, and was about to say something, but Qiu He pulled down his robe, pursed his lips and lowered his head, "My subordinates are talking too much." ”

"You and I don't belong to each other." Wang Li shook his head, glanced at Qiu He, turned over and left.

"Da Liang Zao is already very grateful to be able to accept my family crest." Qiu He got up and patted his robe.

"In fact, you can rescue your clansmen before the defeat of Donghu, even if it doesn't work, Da Liangzao only needs to pass the family emblem to his father, General Wang Ben, and he can also keep your clansmen safe." Zhai Qiu sighed lightly.

"Qiu He is just a slave and maid, and he can have such a time to be favored by the emperor, how can He De ask for more?" Qiu He grinned and smiled with relief, "And the original clan sister is gone, she already has the determination to die, no matter whether Donghu wins or loses, Lin Hu will inevitably suffer a catastrophe, and the Qiu family is forbidden for the king of Lin Hu, and it is difficult to escape this difficulty." ”

"I've heard you mention your sister many times, it seems that you have a good relationship?" Zhai Qiu raised his eyebrows slightly.

"We are twins." Qiu He showed a somewhat sad smile, "After my father died, she was the pillar of the Qiu family, and I survived all thanks to her." ”

Zhai Qiu blinked, "Then she must be what the emperor said, women and women, such people generally have good luck." ”

"It's better." Qiu He smiled and shook his head, "Let's go, let's go to the oath meeting." ”

"I'm going to be on armor today." Zhai Qiu nodded, took out a leather bag from the horse's back and threw it to Qiu He.

Metal armor may have a special aura, even a somewhat feminine man like Qiu He, wearing armor only has a bit of heroism, and the long hair that originally hung down on the back of the waist was also tied into a high ponytail, fixed with a jade hoop, riding on a war horse full of armor, which is very eye-catching.

Zhai Qiu touched the mask on his face, "If you want to go to the battlefield one day in the future, remember to bring a mask as well." ”

"What? Worried that my over-appearance will attract attention? Qiu He grinned.

"You have no deterrent power at all, and the enemy will not be afraid when you charge, and you will miss the opportunity to attack." Zhai Qiu shook his head and said.

"Why should I charge when I go to battle? That's what only a defeated general does. Qiu He was stunned.

"You'd better not go to war." Zhai Qiu was also stunned and rolled his eyes.

"With a warrior like you, it's not my turn to go to the battlefield at all." Qiu He laughed and said, "However, if you go out in the future, don't think about the charge, you are the commander, and the command of the army is what you have to do." ”

Zhai Qiu shook his head, his expression became solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Lan is out of the sheath, I am invincible, I don't need to command, just kill." ”

The corners of Qiu He's mouth twitched, he took a deep breath, and said to the Dianjiangtai built in the distance, "The emperor is really Shengming, leaving you to defend the city and not go on the expedition." ”

Zhai Qiu frowned slightly, feeling that there was something in Qiu He's words.

As the first large-scale battle of the Lone Bamboo Country, it is definitely different from the surprise attack on the Lin Hu Tribe.

That time, Wang Xu only needed to give the kite iron rider a flag in front of the palace and seal the military number.

But this expedition to Donghu is different, this kind of thing cannot be for personal interests, it must be for the righteousness of heaven, so that the division can become famous.

Therefore, before the army goes on the expedition, there must be a sacrificial ceremony.

This ritual seems to be a sacrifice to the ancestral gods and a request for the approval of heaven and earth, but in fact, it is also for the legitimacy of the rule and the justice of the expedition.

At the very least, we must tell all the military and civilians what this battle is for.

Therefore, for this ceremony, Mo Kui spent a lot of financial resources and manpower to build a point platform in the new city that is about to be expanded.

The high platform that is as high as six meters and more than 20 meters wide has a layer of bronze on the outside of the bricks and stones, and then uses various colored gems to piece together the colorful Xuanniao pattern.

I have to say that Mo Kui's artistic talent is really too high, this Xuanniao of more than twenty meters is really beautiful, shining under the refraction of the sun during the day, shining through the bonfire at certain angles at night, and even being able to project a larger Xuanniao phantom on the ground.

This projection technique is undoubtedly a miracle in this era.

In the center of the high platform, there is also a huge Shang Dynasty Xuanniao flag, next to which there are various handsome flags, and other flags representing various meanings.

纛 (dao) is the so-called handsome flag, generally embroidered with the national totem or the national name of the giant flag, as long as the big flag does not fall, then the army is the last soldier, can not retreat.

And the person in charge of resisting the rebellion must be the most heroic samurai in the army, and this samurai was also selected at the oath meeting.

Then there is the Jiaolong Flag, the White Tiger Flag, the Vermilion Bird Flag, the Xuanwu Flag, the Dog Flag and so on.

And these flags are basically ground into powder with various gemstones, then rendered into threads, and then sewn onto them, and some of them have the luster of crystal powder, which is extremely gorgeous.

Wang Xu also spread a layer of fluorite powder in the mezzanine of these flags, so that at night, it will also be very eye-catching.

Of course, there are only a few flags that fill the scene so much to prosper.

The Dianjiangtai that has just been poured with bronze is a veritable golden platform, and the eyes of people who stab in the sun hurt, coupled with these huge flags fluttering on it, make this Dianjiangtai indeed extremely noble and luxurious, which makes people daunting.

The so-called high place is not cold, the higher the place, the more the wind blows, the flags on the platform are blown to hunt, fortunately, the flagpole is made of stainless steel, if it is wooden, it would have been blown off a long time ago.

The winter wind on the seaside is already cold, and it is even more difficult to breathe when standing on a high platform like this.

Wang Xu was dressed in a crown dress made of white mink and bird feathers, and he felt that he might be blown into the sky by the wind at any time, he really didn't understand, why it was necessary to hold this oath meeting in the open air, in the palace of the king of Qiancheng, it should be able to accommodate more than 10,000 soldiers.

Mo Kui insisted on being in the open air, not only for the oath meeting, but also for the first time to show the people of the city and the country of Guzhu what is called the 'Son of Heaven Style'.

The wind was too strong, and finally the point was surrounded by explosion-proof shield walls around the platform, so that the wind was a little smaller, and of course, the majesty was weaker.

"Alright, alright, the hour is almost up, and we can begin." Wang Xu stopped Mo Kui, who was always thinking about pushing off a layer of explosion-proof shield, and said to him.

Mo Kui looked up at the sun, then at the sergeants gathered under the stage, as well as at the onlookers not far away, and said in a low voice, "The hour is still early, the emperor should be restless." ”

"Don't you see they're shivering from the cold?" Wang Xu frowned and pointed to the people in the audience.

"Only in this way can they realize the majesty of the Great Emperor and the majesty of the gods." Mo Kui had a sincere smile on his face.

"Stop talking nonsense, bring the megaphone up." Wang Xu frowned and waved his hand.

Mo Kui blinked, and finally went down to explain.

More than a dozen divine slaves carried a big bell-like thing and placed it on the platform, and then three sturdy divine slaves knelt at the small mouth of this lying bell, which was specially trained by Mo Kui to be responsible for shouting.

With the help of this bell-shaped amplifier with echo effect, although it will definitely not achieve the effect of a real amplifier, but with these three gods and slaves with loud voices, the echo superposition effect can still make the sound transmit far away, and then with the foil of war drums and other musical instruments, for the stage effect of this big show, Mo Kui can be said to have racked his brains.

The silver-armored warriors in front of the 14,000 people in the audience were lined up into seventy small phalanxes, and when viewed from above, they looked neatly like seventy small tofu blocks.

Kneeling respectfully on the square, there are also kneeling on both sides of the Dianjiang platform and the Iron Kite and the Lan Army, and at the east and west corners of the square, kneeling are the black-armored Ruomu Army and the red-armored Fire Phoenix Army, as the army in the robe to attend and witness the oath-taking meeting.

And then go up, on the steps of the golden platform, according to the rank of the kneeling officers of various classes, the closest to the steps under the golden platform, that is, equivalent to the position of His Majesty the Royal Palace, standing on the left and right two shifts stood Tu Tan, Zhu Jia, Mo Wolf, and later Zhai Qiu and Qiu He.

Wang Xu stood up from his throne against the cold wind, and slowly walked to the steps of His Majesty, the crown robe on his body blown by the wind, and the shadow cast on the square was like a big bird ready to take off.

Wang Xu stood at the tuyere, squinting, looking at the soldiers and civilians kneeling under the stage, his face was stiffened by the cold wind, and he became more and more stiff, and his heart began to be a little trance inexplicably.

This is thousands of lives.

At this moment, it's all up to your own words?

But in an instant, the sound of drumming on and off the stage completely shattered all Wang Xu's trance.
