Chapter 103: The Unyielding Great City
Torches rained forward, and the burnt ships moved slowly, and with a roar, one after another ran aground and capsized, and the river had become a sea of fire. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Countless feathered arrows drew a long arc in the air and landed indiscriminately in the fierce crowd, and the person who was hit by the arrow fell to the ground screaming.
Shields clashed against each other, horses' hooves trampled on corpses that were no longer human, and blades sliced through armor......
Smoke billowed and moans filled the field.
Running, running non-stop, the lungs can't take a breath of air anymore, and they're about to explode.
Suddenly, a bright sword shadow came to the ground, instantly enveloping him in it. Through the knife curtain, inside was a pair of red beast-like eyes, which were full of speed. No, no, no, it's Jerema5. It was Li Yu, who was the countless enemies who had died under his own sword.
Today they came to ask for my life.
The sharp blade slices through the pectoral muscles, cuts the ribs, and cuts into the lungs.
The flame held inside burst out in an instant.
……
"Ahh Wang Shen screamed and sat up from the bed suddenly.
Then, it was as if he had been slammed down with all the strength of his body.
Intense pain struck every part of his body, making his eyes hazy, and Bai Huahua couldn't see anything clearly.
It's hot, is this a white flame, is this hell or purgatory?
"General Wang is awake, General Wang is awake!" Someone was shouting.
Then there was a chaotic footsteps, and in an instant, the white in front of him turned into a black press.
There were people talking and shouting all around, but he couldn't understand a word.
Finally, something cold covered his forehead. The messy brain slows down, and the mind recovers.
The scene in front of me was instantly clear, and it was a small room.
And he was lying on a carved bed, covered with a thick quilt. There was a row of familiar faces crowded in front of the bed, Gu Lie, Yue Yun, and Lu Can...... They still had vague scars on their faces, and their bodies were also wrapped in gauze, and there was a faint smell of blood.
Everyone was shouting in surprise, but they still couldn't understand what was being said.
"All out, all out! The eldest brother is injured like this, and now he finally comes back to life, but you make trouble, you want him to die! A woman's voice was screaming, and this time I finally understood.
It's her, it's her, it's Anniang.
She screamed and cried.
Only then did everyone disperse: "General, we are waiting outside." ”
"Lang Zhong, Lang Zhong, go and call Lang Zhong."
……
A few warm tears fell on Wang Shen's face.
Wang Shen looked up with difficulty, and An Niang's warm little hand had touched his face, and he didn't say anything, only crying in a low voice.
It was about dusk, and the damn snow seemed to be over, and the warm golden sunlight was shining through the window, and the shadow of the lattice fell on her face. There are plum blossoms, birds, and auspicious clouds...... She is so beautiful, as beautiful as a fairy.
"I'm alive, I'm alive, Anniang, how long have I been lying here?" Recalling that day and night of fighting, seeing the peace and tranquility in front of me seemed like a nightmare.
An Niang still only cared about crying, and still didn't speak.
Wang Shen: "What's wrong with the war now, you have been by my side?" ”
"Woo!"
"Don't cry, don't cry." Wang Shen struggled to reach out and grab An Niang's soft slur: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Tears still kept falling, falling on his face and flowing into the corners of his mouth, so salty.
With a strong hand, he pulled her into his arms, for a long, long time.
……
Wang Shen: "Okay, okay, it's all over." Hey, I'm hungry. ”
An Niang recovered: "I'll do it, I'll do it." Big brother, I know you want to eat the soup cake I made. ”
"Go, go!" Yes, An Niang is just a sixteen-year-old girl, and she was injured like this, but it scared her. Now, on the contrary, I need to calm her emotions and find something for her to do.
When An Niang went out, Wang Shen groaned again and shouted outside, "Lu Can, come in." It can be seen that all the generals are a little afraid of An Niang. Without her nod, everyone could only wait outside, and no one dared to enter the house.
Lu Can walked into the house in response, took off the wet wipes covering Wang Shen's forehead, touched them with his hand again, and showed a hint of joy on his face: "The fever has subsided, now it's okay." ”
"High fever, how many days have I been here?" Wang Shen asked.
Lu Can: "Daosi, you fainted after killing the Jurchen general on the battlefield that day, and after everyone carried you back to Jiankang City from the battlefield, you developed a high fever, and the wounds on your body were also inflamed. I fainted for three days, and I didn't wake up until now. During these three days, An Niang has been in front of your bed, using a spoon to pour the medicine into your throat one by one. ”
"Three days, three days!" Wang Shen was startled, moved again, and suddenly, countless pains struck, making him sweat on his forehead: "Where am I hurt, is there a big problem?" ”
"Daosi, don't move, be careful of the injury." Lu Can said: "You have more than ten injuries on your body, large and small, and you have broken two ribs by the war horse, and there are also not light internal injuries, which you can't recover from without ten days and a half months." ”
"What about the others?" Wang Shen asked in a hoarse voice.
"It's okay, although everyone is injured, it doesn't matter." Lu Can had sadness on his face: "In two consecutive battles, my Sizhou battalion has suffered a lot of losses. Two hundred and thirty-six were killed, sixty-four were seriously wounded, and the others ...... Everyone is injured...... It can be said that it hurts the muscles and bones. But ......"
He quickly perked up, with excitement on his face: "Where is there no sacrifice in the war, no matter how big the price is, it is worth it to be able to ensure that Jinling is finally worth it." From the moment we threw our pen from Rong, we already had the will to return with the horse leather shroud. Even if you die, you have no regrets! ”
Lu Can's biggest problem is that he likes to be righteous and strict, and when he heard that his troops had suffered such a big loss, Wang Shen felt a pain in his heart and couldn't help coughing violently.
It took a long time for him to gasp and sigh: "Yes, it is worth sacrificing for the sake of the country and the nation." Fortunately, the troops have already been fought, as long as the backbone is there, and the soldiers are gone, they can be recruited again. ”
"Don't worry, I've been sending people across the river to recruit displaced people in the past few days."
"Crossing the river?"
"The Wushu has withdrawn?" Lu Can poured a cup of hot tea and fed Wang Shen a mouthful, and said: "The Jurchens have eaten this defeat, and the ships have been burned by Daosi, and there is nothing to think about, and they have pulled out the camp to the east yesterday, and it is estimated that they will go to Yangzhou to see if they can cross the river from Guazhou." ”
"Pull the camp and go to Yangzhou...... Seemingly...... Jiankang is kept. ”
"Yes, hold on." Lu Can's face was full of excitement, and he slammed the tea bowl on the bedside table, fierce and fierce. couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: "Straight lady thief, this Jinling, we have defended it, and we have defended the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties that is in the dragon plate." Being able to do such a big thing, Lu Can is worth it in his life. ”
As he spoke, tears glistened in his eyes.
"Yes, it is worth it and it is worth it to be able to accomplish such a big thing in a person's life." Wang Shen muttered, "The sky that is about to be overturned, we have turned him over." ”
Thinking of Brother Paoze, who died on the battlefield covered in blood, his tears fell.
"Daddy." Qin Sizhao walked in lightly.
Wang Shen: "Si Zhao, what's the matter?" ”
Qin Sizhao: "Daddy, the left-behind Si Duxiang heard that your old man has woken up, please go over and talk, and the carriage and horse sent to pick you up are already waiting outside the courtyard gate." ”
Du Xiang...... What about Du Shu? Wang Shen asked.
Qin Sizhao: "Back to my father's words, Deputy Military Envoy Du has already gone to the Left-behind Division to report the news, and now he is still staying there." ”
"Okay, help me to come, I'm going to see Du Xiang." Wang Shen motioned to Qin Sizhao to help himself up, I want to get everything I want, and I can't delay for a moment.
I can't let everything I have paid go to waste because of long nights and dreams.
"Yes, yes, right away." Lu Can also realized the importance of this matter, and also helped with his efforts.
After lying on the bed for about three days, Wang Shen felt that his legs were weak, as if he was stepping on cotton, and he couldn't exert his strength.
Gritted his teeth and walked into the courtyard, already sweating on his body.
An Niang had already come out with a bowl of soup cakes, and when she saw this, she exclaimed: "Where are you going, go back, go back." ”
"Don't worry, I have more important things to do." Wang Shen smiled, took the bowl in her hand, and ate it in a big gulp.
It is about to be the critical moment when I decide to decide the fate of the surviving brothers in the Sizhou camp for myself, I want to cheer up, I want to recover my strength immediately, I want to eat.
The carriage that came to pick up Wang Shen was already waiting outside, and after Wang Shen got into the car, Yue Yun and the others hurriedly followed.
The car walked slowly on the ancient bluestone street of Jiangning City.
None of the group spoke, only the sound of the car was in the deep ruts.
It was dusk, in the sun, and the people on the street stopped, and countless heads poked out from the shops next to them, looking at this group of wounded warriors.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed: "Wang Daosi, it's Wang Daosi!" ”
"Boom", the people shouted at the same time, rushed over, and bowed down one after another: "It's Wang Daosi, Wang Daosi who guards our Jiankang City!" ”
One after another, the people followed, shouting loudly, and followed the carriage towards Taicheng step by step.
In the blink of an eye, there is a long string behind him.
The whole Jiankang City is lively.
There was a long howl.
"When I go, my children are sad."
"Return, Hu Jijing."
"By asking the passerby."
"Why is Huo going to be sick?"
……
How can Huo go to illness.
Feng Wolf Juxu, popular for thousands of miles, breaking the Huns in the Beihai champion Hou Huo to get sick.
Now.
He sat in the car, and he was just covered in bruises, sitting in the car with a faint smile on his face.
The sunset is like fire.
Wheels forward.
The same situation also appeared in the evening seven hundred years ago, Xie An, Xie Shi, Xie Xuan, who broke Fu Jian, also sat on such a big cart, holding his sword in his hand, standing tall and upright.
Stand tall in this unyielding city.
