Chapter 238: Han Soul

In the darkest hour before dawn, the military camp stationed along the Jin River sounded the sound of horns, a trench two feet wide and one foot five deep formed a square shape along the perimeter of the fence, and in the black undulating tents, figures drilled out from far and near, gathering towards the eagle, the largest tent in the center,

The burly and sturdy figure was draped in a white robe, and he kept his eyes open for a long time, looking at the blue sky, and a guard came to inform him of the news of the assembly of the whole army, and only then did he pull his mind back.

"Commander, the whole army of 17,632 has been assembled." The guard's voice was loud, and several footsteps came around, and a small voice reminded, "The generals are here." ”

Freitensis retracted his gaze and swept over the figures coming from the light of the torches, and a smile appeared on his handsome face: "....... I had a dream in which we had returned to Rome with honor after the end of our expedition, and I could smell the fragrance of the white streets, the clean houses, and the beautiful ladies who threw bright flower petals at us...... And I will be honored with nobility in front of the emperor. ”

"The Commander's dream bears witness to our victory, and we will soon be able to return to our homeland!" The five generals raised their weapons and laughed.

"I hope so......" Freitensis nodded at them, but he kept a smile and raised his arms flat, palms down, "....... I never doubted the fierce Roman soldiers. ”

"So...... Settle the cavalry of Cyrius first, and have no worries, take the stubborn Orientals captive, seize their food, and continue eastward to find the place in the Upper Valley, and take Stephanie and her brother back to receive the divine judgment. ”

The five generals stretched out their arms in unison, "Long live Rome—"

The square barracks were murderous, and then the eagle flag spread.

*******************************

The sky was shining.

There was a rustling of footsteps around, and he woke up from a light sleep, the sky outside the forest was still very dark, and the cold chill was receding from his body, and there was a hot sting pain from more than a dozen wounds all over his body, and the wounds were as uncomfortable as ants gnawing on flesh and blood. When I close my eyes, the darkness returns, and scenes flash in my eyes.

More than a thousand cavalrymen rushed with him to the enemy, arrows and javelins flew overhead, and plunged into the body of the shield, and someone consciously rushed up to fill the vacancy, shouting: "Rush-"

“.…… Chisel through them! ”

Roaring, shouting, one after another galloping figures clamped the iron spear and spear, these people rushed over from the sight and side, these people were usually rough and arrogant, talking nonsense, but at this moment gritted their teeth and stared, and charged forward firmly.

Rushing all the way ...... Drowned in the midst of the watery enemy.

In the dimness, Zhao Zhao suddenly opened his eyes, fine beads of sweat covered his face, gasping for breath, in a trance, someone came over to bring the smell of blood, people and torches moved there, took the water bag and a little dry food residue and handed it over, Zhao Zhao took a look, it was Du Bo Suren, reached out and took the water bag and poured it up, and asked in a low voice: "How are the soldiers, how many of us still have ......?"

"There are also a thousand brothers, almost all of whom are injured, but fortunately, everyone is still holding their breath in their hearts."

"That's good, the rescue letter should have been sent, the nearest Hua Xiong and Gao Sheng should come over soon, there is no fierce general to break the formation, it is difficult to tear a hole, Daqin's gang of dogs are just a king eight, shrinking behind the shield, and they will bite people if they are cold."

"General, we just suffered the loss of not fighting with the Great Qin people, and we don't know them." Su Ren's blood stains all over his body had been scaled, and his arms and waist were bandaged.

Zhao nodded, stretched out his hand to push the dry food back, and took another sip of water, and the surrounding black mountain riders got up one after another and led the war horse, he turned his eyes and patted Su Ren's shoulder: "....... Let's go, it's almost time to rest, let's go to the trouble of Daqin Dog. ”

"Aren't you going to join General Zhang?"

The figure got up, grabbed the reins, and turned over on his horse: "Let Zhang Yang continue to guard, this time, we will sneak attack the camp of the Great Qin people from the side and burn all their things...... Only then did he get rid of his hatred. ”

"General, no, General Zhang has been guarding for nearly a month, which is probably the limit, if you don't go to the convergence, you won't be able to last long!"

Du Bo named Su Ren hurriedly stepped forward to grab the opponent's war horse, was pulled away by a whip, raised the whip and pointed at him, and shouted: "Confused, I am a plan to encircle Wei to save Zhao, attack must be saved, unless the head of the Great Qin people is the same as Li Ke's, there is a tendon, otherwise they will come back to help." ”

"Pulling the General's ......"

Su Ren still wanted to persuade again. The war horse has moved, and he beckoned his subordinates on horseback, "Those who can still fight, come with me, and those who can't fight, rest on the spot, wait for victory, and then return to the army." ”

More than 700 rode over, and he whipped his whip, "Let's go!" ”

"Utilitarian heart...... Su Ren stomped his foot fiercely, ran quickly and picked up the wide eight-sided Han sword, and followed on the horse's back. The moment the whip sounded, the sky was dark, and the cavalry stepped into the field again, bypassing the camp with the Han flag below, and in the distance, in the blue vision, was a wall of corpses, and the smell of blood could be smelled in the galloping wind.

The moonlight is like water, illuminating the wilderness, and there are rows of silhouettes of people and horses in the quiet green darkness, and the moon is about to fall, shining the chill of metal heavy armor.

Before the lead had left the field of vision of the battlefield in the distance, in front of them, a lone horse galloping, a wounded scout not only brought news, but also the enemy's cavalry, whose hooves thundered up before dawn.

“.…… Ambush...... Not good...... Tell Zhang Yang from the camp not to come out—" he shouted.

The iron nameplate was already shaking in the darkness, making a murderous sound.

The moon that radiated clear light fell, the east was shining, and the camp clearly felt a tremor on the ground, Zhang Yang raised his head, the first rays of sunlight shone into his eyes, and the plain silk was full of handwriting, and when he folded it and put it away, the soldiers on duty at night ran in a panic, and he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"There was a battle outside, and the less crowded side was surrounded."

The sound of fighting and shouting came from the far side, at this time in the camp, because of the war, the nerves of the soldiers have been tensed to the extreme, when they heard the sound for the first time, they rushed out with knives and spears to form a formation, and when they saw that there were no enemy soldiers and horses in front of them, they were stunned for a moment, and then someone said that it was on the north side.

Zhang Yang led dozens of personal soldiers with a sword, and countless figures were already surrounded behind the fence, and Cao Tuo was also there, seeing Zhang Yang coming, he pointed to that side with an axe.

"It seems to be leading the general's cavalry...... They seem to have fallen into ambush...... General, what shall we do? Save ...... or not"

……

Iron hooves trampled the dirt, weapons clattered in the air.

"Tell the defenders on Zhang Yang's side not to come out, be careful—"

Pulling the move and shouting and brandishing the iron spear to smash a javelin thrown away, the Roman chainmail cavalry who had finished throwing the javelin on the opposite side drew their swords and roared and rushed up, and was stabbed into the face by the iron spear with a short sword, and the flesh and blood were splashed.

"I'll go!"

There was a sound on the battlefield of fighting, the flying shield and the javelin were thrown and splashed in all directions, Su Ren jumped and pulled out the eight-sided sword from the back, slashed at the head of the approaching horse, the war horse fell to the ground with a sad scream, and the Roman soldier above fell down at the same time, the figure dragging the broad sword slashed left and right and slashed with the long soldier who swung the oblique thorn, the body passed through the gap, the scalp was suddenly tightened, a war horse on the side rushed to intercept, a heavy spear smashed, the running figure waved the sword to block it, and was beaten and rolled out.

"Su Ren—"

In the surging sound of fighting, more than 700 cavalrymen continued to fall from their horses, and looked around, and saw the figure that ran out of several feet falling, and shouted, riding their horses to rescue, but more Roman cavalry rushed over, he and his own soldiers crowded in the crowd, his eyes were bloody, his teeth were clenched, and he regretted in his heart, he should listen to the persuasion.

also understood that the other party was also a veteran of the battlefield, and he was used in reverse.

"Ahhh

The iron spear fiercely smashed over a Roman cavalryman, and cried out heartbreakingly: "I only die today to forgive my sins, come-"

"Take a step back, I'm not a Han species!"

On the violent battlefield, the fierce fight is interspersed with the past......

*******************

"Don't come out...... Watch out! ”

"Take a step back, I'm not a Han! Kill—"

The sound of morning light got up, the shouts of fighting came from that side, Zhang Yang smashed his fist on the fence, the shaking wooden fence and the horizontal wood 'creaked', his fists clenched tightly, gritted his teeth and looked over there, and the defenders in the camp also stopped all the sounds and looked silently.

“.…… Save it or not! That's the general....... and the many brothers of the Black Mountain Rider are also in it! Cao Tuo turned around, stared at the silent general with red eyes, and after a while, shouted: "You don't go!" I'll go, it's a big deal to die-"

He tossed Dubo's waist tag over his waist.

"It's not hard for the general to do, I'm not violating the military order."

Zhang Yang pursed his lips and stared at the token that fell on the dark red soil in front of his feet, and without saying a word, the tall figure carrying the axe passed past him.

On the other side of the distance, the terrible fighting and painful shouts stimulated his hearing, and where he couldn't see, Su Ren gritted his teeth and struggled to get up, blood was dripping from the corners of his mouth, and he grabbed the weapon on the ground with both hands, and picked it up tremblingly.

The iron spear he wielded slowed down, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, he was covered in blood, his chest was pierced through his armor, blood was flowing, and the cavalry with the golden eagle banner was still pouring up, blood was splashed, and the war horse was wounded several times and fell, his body rolled to the ground, abandoned the gun, rushed to the side of the horse, took the shield in his hand, and drew his sword.

The morning light reflected the color of blood.

“.…… Kill! He still shouted.

Time seemed to slow down, flowing between heaven and earth, Zhang Yang leaned over and picked up the sign in the soil, called the figure who strode away, and threw it over, when the other party caught it, he pointed to the broken Han flag in the camp, and opened his mouth in a very soft voice.

"You have great strength, resist the flag well, don't lose it."

The voice of the words was not loud, fluttering in people's ears, and the faces became solemn, Cao Tuo grinned and nodded, took the token, threw the axe, turned around and held the flag in his hand, and came to the edge of the camp.

More than 4,000 people came.

The voice sounded with Zhang Yang: "I know it's a plan, but there are some things that must be done, because that is our compatriots, and what we can do ......"

Countless hands pressed against the fence, their eyes looked ahead like stone, the herald ran behind the formation with the command flag, someone heard the voice, lowered his head, and tied the cloth strip and knife handle in his hand firmly with his teeth, and some people pursed their lips, and their faces were covered with blood and their teeth clucked.

"Are you afraid?" A soldier asked his companion next to him. "Afraid! I'm afraid of being poked in the back when I die. A smile appeared on the dark and simple face next to him, and then, in the field of vision, the Han flag moved.

Below the flag, the sound continued to sound in the golden morning light.

“.…… And what we can do, save them, or die in battle together, brothers, bury our loyal bones on this border, live as Han people, die as Han souls, and continue to protect the land of the Han Dynasty! ”

Zhang Yang closed his eyes, and his mind flashed the figures of his wife and children, the simple appearance of the soldiers, and the ...... of his hometown and a close friend who is far away in the Central Plains and somewhere.

In the next second, he opened his eyes and drew his sword.

"Han Qi! Let's kill—"

"Kill—"

Boom Boom Boom ...... The fences across were pushed down by countless hands, the shouting soldiers spread over the corpses piled up outside, and some surged out from the walled gate, and the roar of more than 4,000 people roared like a huge tsunami, shaking the land, and countless pairs of feet stepped on the crazy footsteps and rushed towards the battlefield where they were fighting with thunder.

The broken Han flag is unfurled in the golden morning glow.
