Chapter Forty-Eight: The Mourning Soldiers Will Win
On the winding mountain road, Gu Nan was wearing armor and stopped riding Brother Hei.
Nian Duan's face was slightly red, and he sat in front of her half-holding the horse's head.
Feeling Gu Nan stop, he turned his head, saw Gu Nan's appearance, and jumped off the horse with his lips pouted.
"That's it." Gu Nan pulled the reins of Brother Hei: "Go all the way, don't take the mountain road, don't ask someone to catch it again." β
"You think the world is full of people like you?" Nian Duan said.
Gu Nan raised his eyebrows, it was indeed the person they arrested, but he didn't participate in it...
But in the end, it was his side that was wrong, Gu Nan didn't speak.
Nian Duan took two steps towards the mountain road, but turned around again: "Hey, I'm leaving, you don't have anything to say?" β
I'm afraid that if you say something, you won't finish talking about it...
Gu Nan touched his nose helplessly, jumped off the horse, took off the long sword at his waist and threw it into Nian Duan's arms.
"Stay on the road for self-defense."
After speaking, he took the reins of Brother Hei and left.
In the past, she would have chatted with Nian Duan, but now she is a little scared, afraid of having some old people.
I had to leave in a hurry.
Nian Duan hugged the long sword in his arms and snorted: "It's also that this girl didn't save you in vain." β
Looking up, he said, "It's another sword, but the swordsmen in this world are all like this?" β
ββββββββββββ
Back at the camp, Gu Nan found Bai Qi standing in front of the door.
Silently walked up and lowered his head: "Master." β
Gu Nan has changed a lot, at least Bai Qi can see it.
The master who came up with only Gu Nan was a little less frivolous and a little more steady.
But the way this change is done is also extremely heavy.
Bai Qi patted Gu Nan's shoulder: "The doctor sent it away?" β
In the past few days, after Gu Nan woke up, he hadn't come to see her, or he was busy with military affairs, or he didn't dare to come to see her.
"Hmm." Gu Nan answered, and the two of them thought about walking in the camp side by side.
"Master, how is Zhao Jun's situation these days?"
Bai Qi opened his mouth and said with a smile: "I thought a lot about being a teacher, but I didn't expect that the first question you would ask was such a question, you said, are you here or not Nan'er?" β
"The master laughed, but I don't want to fight anymore."
"Don't want to fight?" Bai Qi looked at the sky and laughed: "Yes, I have long been tired of being a teacher." β
"The morale of the Zhao army was high a few days ago, although the number was less than ours, but it was also a stalemate for a while. But in a few days, it is on the verge of collapse, and in the face of the general trend, manpower is impossible to do after all. β
Bai Qi walked as he spoke.
"However, the coach of the Zhao army seems to want to lose both of usΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Zhao KuoΒ·Β·Β·
"The student's injuries are almost healed, and he can fight tomorrow."
"Okay." Bai Qi's eyes seemed to show some relief and seemed to carry some pain.
"I'll let you fight tomorrow."

"Collect the troops!"
On the other side, the general of the Qin army, who was organizing the attack, glanced back at the signal in the distance, turned his head and shouted at the receiver.
"Collect the troops!"
After receiving the order, the countless black-armored soldiers took a breath and did not stop for a moment. Staring at the soldiers of the Zhao State who were guarding in front of him, he slowly retreated cautiously.
"Pedal Pedal Pedal ...
The sound of horses' hooves and footsteps was connected, and the Qin army was like a tide, coming and going fast.
Watching the Qin army go away, Zhao Kuo's body shook and almost fell to the ground, holding the fence of the camp with both hands, and the spear in his hand was also crooked to his side. The armor had lost its original color, only a piece of red and black, and it was not known if it was someone else's blood or his own.
It's already the seventh day, and there has been no news of the 300,000 reinforcements. From the fifth day onwards, the morale of the army began to be turbulent.
After a while, Zhao Kuo took the spear beside him and prepared to return to his tent with heavy steps.
"General!"
A lieutenant general called Zhao Kuo behind him.
Zhao Kuo was stunned, raised his head and looked around.
Quite a few officers in the army have come to this side.
He smiled wryly, but still came.
"General." The adjutant general looked at Zhao Kuo with complexity.
"Do you think reinforcements will really come?"
He asked the question that everyone in the room wanted to ask the most.
The reason why they held out for seven days under the attack of an army of 600,000 became more and more ethereal as time passed.
None of those present were fools, and if this battle was simply impossible, they would consider surrendering.
Even, it is possible to forcibly take Zhao Kuo as a basis for surrender.
This is the result of all the officers discussing together last night, and they must ask Zhao Kuo for clarification today.
βΒ·Β·Β·β Zhao Kuo was silent for a while, for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "No." β
This time, he was telling the truth.
"From the beginning, no reinforcements came back."
The wind in the Northland was tight, tugging at everyone's robes.
The deputy general took two steps in three steps and walked in front of Zhao Kuo with a punch.
"Bang!!"
With a muffled snort, Zhao Kuo didn't dodge or dodge, and was knocked to the ground.
"400,000 people!" The adjutant general's voice was trembling, his teeth were clenched very tightly, and his face was distorted: "Zhao Kuo!" You're so ruthless! β
"It's that you don't want to live anymore, and you want 400,000 people to accompany you to die!?"
"Ahem." The corners of Zhao Kuo's mouth were broken, and blood flowed out of his mouth, but his face was already full of blood, and he couldn't see it at all.
Β·Β·Β·
There was silence, and no one spoke first.
Until Zhao Kuo broke the silence: "Everyone, Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
His voice trembled a little, as if it had been squeezed out of his mouth.
"After joining the party, it is Handan. It is Zhao Guo. β
"It's our wife and children."
"If the party is broken, the Zhao State will die."
"Our wives and children will be given to the Qin people's slaves."
"My old mother Zhao Kuo is also in the city and has raised me for 20 years."
"Filial piety is not yet fulfilled..."
Zhao Kuo's hand may have been too hard, trapping the sand, and blood overflowed in the sand.
"Why did Zhao Kuo want to die, and why didn't he want to go home and reunite with his relatives."
"But Changping can't just be broken."
"It's so broken, the country is safe, the home is safe?"
"If we kill the enemy, hurt Qin's vitality, and look around the enemy, Qin will not dare to move. Although the party is broken, Zhao Guo can be protected, and our wives and children can be protected. β
Zhao Kuo didn't look back at the people behind him, but just said word by word: "I, Zhao Kuo, am not a literary Confucian, and I can't say anything eloquent." β
"I, Zhao Kuo, have deceived you, so I will be ordered by your hands, and this time I will fight with me and punish Qin to serve the country, can I?"
At the end, Zhao Kuo almost used a pleading tone. As a manager, it was impossible.
Β·Β·Β·
No one spoke, and no one answered him.
He sighed deeply, but the young man in his twenties was like a twilight year.
He got up, his back lonely.
He knew that after this battle, he would definitely be pointed out by thousands of people, leaving behind an eternal infamy.
The lieutenant, who was standing behind him, suddenly said, "Reinforcements will come, and we should hold on to it." β
With that, he walked away with his sword in hand.
"Reinforcements will come, and we will not retreat."
With an inexplicable look in their eyes, all the officers and generals said word by word, and left.
Their hands were shaking, and they all knew that there would be no reinforcements, but no one would ever mention surrender again.
This time, let's first wrap the body of the general's horse leather and serve the country loyally.
Zhao Kuo turned his head, looked at the departing soldiers, and bowed deeply.
This is his second step, the mourning army will win, break and stand.

Yesterday, I took a look at this chapter a few days ago, and then I found that there were a lot of problems that I didn't see, and I just saw the problem of coins and horses in the Qin period, and I was ashamed, it was indeed my negligence, and I will revise it as soon as possible. Well, the editor contacted me recently, and after thinking about it, I decided to sign a contract. I'm sorry, but the cost of living has been really tight lately, and my family is not well-off, so I'm really embarrassed to ask my parents for itΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Alright, that's all for today, ha.
