Chapter Seventy-One: Entering the Barracks for the First Time
We stood side by side in front of the Xinhan Army barracks in Qingfeng Village at the mouth of Qingfeng Gorge. Wu Shun and a few pro-soldiers followed behind us.
Surrounded by towering mountain peaks, the murmur of streams flowing down the slopes, and the chirping of birds and insects.
There was a cool breeze passing through. The skirt of my riding suit fluttered slightly, and the pearl earrings in my ears swayed.
You look at me, and you say to me, "This is it, here we are." ”
I looked at the closed gates. The gate was black-clad iron, several men tall, and was covered with spiked nails. There is a big circle in the middle of the camp gate, and the word "Han" is written in the circle.
There was silence inside the door, and there was no sound.
I turned my face sideways and looked at you. I said, "Is there no one here?" They're all out training? Not in the camp? ”
You beckoned to Wu Shun behind you. Wu Shun clamped the horse's belly and rode the horse to approach you.
You say, "Herald: Open the door." ”
Wu Shun said, "Yes!" He reached out and took the stiff bow hanging from his back and held it in his hand. He drew his bow and arrows to the sky. He swooped out a rattling arrow. A sharp whistling sound streaked across the sky.
With this whistling, the black camp gate slowly parted to the left and right. Fu Tianliang and Zhang Bao led several sergeant majors and galloped out of the camp gate. They come to you.
You ride your horse to them.
They stopped in front of you. They salute you.
Fu Tianliang said: "The whole queue is over, welcome the leader and the VIP arrival!" ”
It took me a second or two to realize that "VIP" was me.
You turn back to me and say, "Qin'er, let's go in." ”
Fu Tianliang and others turned their horses on both sides to make our debut. As we walked past, they followed us closely. Our group galloped straight into the main camp gate.
I grabbed the reins of the horse, my whole body tensed, I struggled to straighten up, and felt the pearls on my earlobes sway back and forth with the jolting of the horse's steps.
As the horses passed through the camp gate, I suddenly felt that the temperature had dropped, and even the light had dimmed a little, and in an instant, the pores of my whole body had contracted, my throat was tense, and the mane on the neck of the horse that had sat down stood up at once. Before I could understand what I had done, my hand involuntarily rested on the little bow. The moment my fingers touched the little bow, I suddenly understood: murderous! This is the kind of murderous atmosphere in which the two armies face off in the legend and fight to the death!
At the same time as my heart froze, a whole Han army horse team with bright armor and swords out of the sheath appeared in front of me. They were neatly lined up in a standard half-moon-shaped battle formation, standing in front of them in a cold light. All the men, all the horses, did not move, did not make a sound, and at first glance it seemed as if they were statues of stone.
I felt a strong pressure rushing in that direction, and my horse involuntarily wanted to retreat. I tightened the reins so hard that it wouldn't go back.
I felt the powerful impact that instantly passed through my heart.
Oh my God, it turns out that the momentum of the two armies when they faced each other was like this!
I bit my lip. I'm looking at you.
As soon as you urge the horse, you speed up the horse, and in an instant your horse is galloping. I also clamped the horse's belly and urged the horse to keep up with you.
We rose up like a gust of wind and swept in the direction where the army was. Our little ponies left a trail of dust in their wake.
In the blink of an eye, we were approaching the team, and we were clinging to it at meteor speed, speeding past them.
As we galloped past them, as I passed the first soldier at the end of the line, all of them suddenly raised their sabers in their hands, and they moved in unison as if they were one man.
I could only hear the wind whirring in my ears, and there was a bright sword light all the way in front of me.
Just when I felt a little dizzy, the team suddenly erupted into a deafening shout: "General Chen! General Chen! General Chen! General Chen! ”
Suddenly, the sound of salutation to my father, this thunderous sound, filled all the heavens and the earth, and flooded my eardrums!
I felt like the blood in my whole body was boiling in an instant!
It was at that moment that I suddenly understood my father's life. Father, at once, from a vague phantom in a dream, from the tasseled saber hanging on the wall of my bedroom, from the once red land on the threshing floor, to a living man of flesh and blood! I now know that my father once wore the helmet you wore at this moment, through the armor you are wearing at this moment, and that he had leaped on his horse and spear and stood at the front of the crescent-shaped battle formation. The banner on the flagpole in the middle of the barracks used to fly like this behind him. He had also fought on the battlefield with such a sparkling saber, using it to slash into the bones of the enemy, so that the splash of blood of the enemy soaked and obscured the original color of the robe!
I walked into his life all of a sudden, and he suddenly became vivid and vivid. You couldn't be more accurate. This is the immortality of the father!
I felt the blood rushing to my face. I felt the inner waves rolling, the inner waves crashing on the shore!
You're right. My inextricable flesh-and-blood connection with this army is innate. I belong here. Born to belong to the New Han Army! My life and the fate of this army are destined to be inseparable.
We crossed the entire line to the shouts of the soldiers, and galloped to the front of the high platform.
We dismounted in front of the high platform. You stretched out your hand to me. You grabbed my right hand, held it tightly, and led me up the steps step by step.
When we climbed the platform, the team once again erupted in a uniform shout: "Welcome back to the team!" ”
In the face of the welcome of the new Han army, you let go of my hand. You draw your saber from your waist, blade upward, and give the whole team a sword-wielding salute.
After the voices of the soldiers disappear, you walk to the front of the parade stand.
Not so long ago, you were here, winning yourself the admiration of the army and the authority of command with a clean and clean fight.
You stand right in the center in front of the parade stand. I look at you with wide eyes.
This is the first time I've seen you in the military. This is the one who became famous in the first battle and shocked the world!
As you stand there, both physically and mentally, there is an endless stream of power, and when you stand still, the soul of the entire army instantly concentrates on you.
There's no better place to be in this position than you.
You stand there like a full moon in the Mid-Autumn sky.
The whole school field is filled with your light in an instant.
