Sou...... With a shrill sound, Ming Di shot into the night sky.

A white snowdrop bloomed.

…… The night was dark and the wind was cold.

Dozens of kilometers outside the city of Jiangning, the wilderness is miserable.

A long procession hurried forward in this well-known night. Looking at it from a distance, you can see that the front of this team has approached the intended goal, but behind the team, it has been stretched to the Yangtze River ferry.

The mighty army, in the shape of a serpentine, advanced along the prescribed route. After a rough calculation, the number of this team is no less than 20,000 people.

The sergeants, stepping on the frosty ground, marched in a compact manner. The iron cloak reflected the cold light of the bright moon, refracting a terrifying cold light.

Although the night was bleak and the direction ahead was difficult to discern, the team did not light the torches. It's not that they don't want to, but the commander in chief of the army sternly gave them an order to prohibit the lighting of open fires all the way.

There was silence along the way, except for the heavy wheezing of the soldiers and the clanging of armor and weapons.

In this oppressive night, this team, after a long journey, finally stopped less than five miles away from Jiangning City.

Then, the officers from all walks of life, with their own teams, headed towards the gates of each side.

"Hey, Uncle Wang, what are we doing in Jiangning City. How did you make such a big fuss? A soldier with a young face, who seemed to be unable to bear the heavy iron suit on his body, stopped at this time, and sat on the ground, panting and whispering to an old soldier with a beard beside him.

The colleagues around me are inevitably a little curious. From the time they set out to now stationed outside Jiangning City, they received an order to prepare for battle.

Exactly who to fight with, and where to fight, they don't know. It's just that, looking at everyone's calm looks, they all know that they will face an extremely difficult battle.

"Where are so many words!" The soldier glared at him and reprimanded in a low voice.

Turning his head, he glanced at his colleagues who were coughing and pretending not to listen, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Don't inquire if you shouldn't ask!" ”

"When it gets into a fight, remember to follow Lao Tzu and don't run around, you know?" The soldier stretched out his hand, straightened the helmet on the little soldier's head, and said in a low voice.

"Why, I still want to cut off a few heads and get promoted!" The little soldier immediately retorted, holding his head high in dissatisfaction, showing his undeveloped chest muscles.

Rao was nervous, but the head of the soldier was still amused by this little guy.

"Chop a fart, just you, and you're still going to chop off someone's head? How many more? After glaring at him angrily, the soldier secretly glanced around, turned around and whispered: "If you look at this formation, you will know how difficult it is to fight in a while!" I can't put my life on the line! ”

"Who the hell are we going to fight?" Seeing the soldier say in such a deep voice, the little soldier was even more puzzled in his heart.

"Shhh The law enforcement team is coming! The soldier was about to reveal some secrets, when he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him. When I looked back, I saw a few law enforcement teams with tall horses and a company of dead men behind him, driving their horses over.

"Brethren!"

Uh......, the grandsons of the law enforcement team seem to be very kind today.

actually changed the bastard who had always been in their eyes to a brother. The soldiers, when they heard this, looked sideways at these living Hades.

"The general said it!" The soldiers of the law enforcement team also felt that their names were a little numb. He coughed and began to give orders.

"The general said that tonight, our scheduled place is Jiangning. And the enemy we have to deal with......" The leader of the law enforcement team, his voice paused slightly, condescendingly, and after glancing at these soldiers who had been on the road all night and looked a little tired, he suddenly raised his voice and said: "It's the Dongying samurai!" ”

Wow...... As soon as these words came out, the soldiers' faces suddenly changed slightly.

To them, Dongying people are no strangers at all.

They are different from the Jiangning garrison that lives deep in the interior and does not move for several years. Their team is responsible for river defense and coastal defense, and it is an exclusive army.

Over the years, they have constantly fought with all kinds of bandits, robbers. Among them, in recent years, more and more Dongying people have become the target of their attacks.

For the Dongying people, they all have an inexplicable nervousness.

Those people, as if they were not afraid of death, even if they fought to the last man, in the face of thousands of surrounding troops, those Dongying people, like madmen, brandished their knives, and charged desperately.

As the saying goes, those who are horizontal are afraid of being stunned, and those who are afraid of dying are afraid.

Although these sergeants in charge of coastal defense and river defense are some tigers and wolves who have experienced war. However, in the face of the crazy Dongying people, to be honest, they still have some worries in their hearts.

Moreover, those Dongying people are strong in martial arts, and often one Dongying person, with the long knife in his hand, can tie with three or four brothers.

Moreover, they will always surrender.

At this time, I heard the live Yama Gate of the law enforcement team, saying that it was the Dongying people who were going to deal with it tonight. These soldiers couldn't help but feel a trace of timidity in their hearts.

"Brethren!" The one who spoke was one of the most annoying guys in the law enforcement team. This guy is the head of the law enforcement team, and he always has a dead face in his day, shuttling back and forth in the army. Seeing that the soldiers did not practice seriously, they went up and scolded their heads and faces, and even corporal punishment and beating and scolding were commonplace. If in the barracks, pick the most unlikable, this is him.

However, this man has a high status in the army. Although there is no official or position, it seems that Lord Duan has great respect for this person. This made the soldiers very curious.

Now, I saw this living Yama king come forward and speak. The soldiers all looked like they were waiting to see what kind of flowers this Hades king of Hades could say.

"Heh, my name is Wu Zheng!" The leader of the law enforcement team, who had a deep scar on his face, pulled an ugly smile on his face, and said to the soldiers: "That is the living Hades in your private life!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers bowed their heads and coughed continuously. Pretend it's none of your business.

"Heh, I didn't want to talk about it today!" Wu Zheng smiled, tightened the reins in his hand, and pulled the restless horse under his crotch. Then he smiled, pointed ahead, and looked back at the Jiedu envoy, and said with a smile: "However, Boss Duan said Wu Zheng, look at these guys, they look uneasy." Just tell them about your troubles back then, and let everyone be happy! ”

Seeing that the soldiers' faces no longer had the restraint they had just now, Wu Zheng smiled and said lightly: "Since Boss Duan has said it, then Wu Zheng and I have no choice but to obey orders!" ”

"I'm a soldier!" Wu Zheng smiled and said lightly.

The soldiers below felt a slight pang in their hearts when they heard this. The look of disdain, even hostility, in his eyes gradually dissipated. They held their breath and began to listen to the living Hades.

"My home is in our Jiangning, well, it's the one by the sea!" Wu Zheng raised his hand and pointed to the east. said in a flat tone: "But, heh, when I was very young, my home was gone!" ”

"When I was 10 years old, a dozen or so people who had drifted by sea broke into our village. Up and down the village, more than 100 people died overnight! Of course, including my father, mother, sister, brother, grandparents, a lot, counting relatives, there are about 20 people! Wu Zheng's expression was still calm, and he said lightly. The cold and calm tone seemed to really say something that had nothing to do with him, "What about me, my life is big." My mother hid in the water tank and escaped! Wu Zheng raised his head and laughed, and in the cold moonlight, the soldiers still saw the trembling hands of the living Hades.

"At the time, I was so fucking young that I thought my family was asleep. Ignore me! It seems that thinking of the tragic incident some years ago, Wu Zheng's tone became a little excited, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and an ugly smile appeared.

"When I was fucking, I shook my father vigorously, wanting him to open his eyes and accompany Lao Tzu to the sea and fish!"

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng shrugged his shoulders and lowered his head before being silent for a while.

"Brothers, isn't Lao Tzu stupid?" Suddenly, Wu Zheng raised his head, stared at these soldiers, whose breath had become a little heavy, and shouted.

The soldier was silent, his eyes gradually becoming murderous.

"Seems stupid!" Wu Zheng smiled self-deprecatingly.

After sighing, he continued: "Later, Boss Duan came to Jiangsu and became the general of this area! As for me, in order to avenge my family, I followed Boss Duan! Later, the coastal defense battalion was established, and Lao Tzu was honored to be the first battalion officer of our coastal defense battalion! ”

"Since then, Lao Tzu has taken people every day, carved out, and looked for those Dongying people who were called dogs!"

"The sky pays off!" Wu Zheng raised his head and sighed.

"I finally let Lao Tzu catch those grandsons!" Wu Zheng stretched out his index finger and nodded, suppressed his excitement, and said in a deep voice: "At that time, Lao Tzu brought a total of twenty soldiers. And those Dongying people are more than a hundred! ”

"And then, you ran away?" Speaking of which, the soldiers below began to speak. However, the words asked made the surrounding soldiers look at each other angrily.

"Haha, you're half right!" Wu Zheng smiled, but then said with a sad face: "I thought about it, but I didn't run away!" ”

"We've been discovered!" Wu Zheng pouted.

"And then?"

"Then we decided to those guys!" Wu Zheng smiled faintly and said coldly.

"So, what about later?"

"Twenty people, you can't beat a hundred! In the end, we decided to paddle straight downwind and crash into it! Wu Zheng smiled, a touch of cunning and cruelty flashed on his face, and he smiled hideously.

In an instant, the death-defying expression on Wu Zheng's face made the hearts of many sergeants who were listening quietly feel cold. The body couldn't help but straighten up a lot.

"That day, it was very windy and rough. And it's the deep sea. All it takes is a little hole in the boat of those guys, and they're going to die! Wu Zheng laughed, licked his lips and said, "We were lucky, eleven brothers died, and finally hit their big ship!" ”

"Seeing those dogs, watching the big ship capsizing, those frightened eyes, Lao Tzu didn't mention how cool it was!" Wu Zheng raised his head and laughed.

"Later, Lao Tzu jumped into the sea, dragged them down, drowned, or wiped their necks!" Wu Zheng smiled, and then suddenly seemed to think of something, turned around, pointed to the companion who was bowing his head beside him, and said with a smile: "Oh, this, this is the second king of Hades that you said in private, this guy is in the sea, and he killed more than 20 people on the other side alone!" ”

"It's a pity, though. When all those Dongying people are drowned, we will have no strength! Wu Zheng sighed and said with a wry smile: "Nine brothers, in the end, only three swam back!" ”

"Lao Tzu, I watched my brother who survived the catastrophe buried in the sea, and there were no bones!"

"Moreover, that guy who bears the fat man, after he went ashore, died!" Wu Zheng lowered his head, raised his head and wiped his eyes. The corners of his mouth grinned, and he sighed and scolded: "What a fucking bastard! ”

The night was like ink, and the cold wind raged through the wilderness.

A beastly howl. In the sky, the cold moonlight sprinkled a cold light. Shining on the soldier's black iron armor, it reflected a cold light as strong as ice.

"Now, you bastards, do you know why Lao Tzu has to find fault with you?" Wu Zheng raised his head, tears glistening in his eyes, looked at these young and immature faces, and said with a smile.

The soldiers were silent, their eyes full of excitement, looking at this veteran who had gone through the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood.

Seeing that the soldiers' fighting spirit was ignited, Wu Zheng led the horse a little sluggishly and walked back.

He didn't want to talk about his past. Every memory represents a re-tearing wound. The heart-wrenching pain made him feel a deep fear in his bones.

"Hades is mighty!"

Behind him, after a deathly silence. Suddenly, tens of thousands of soldiers began to burst out in a scattered roar.

This roar gradually merged into a neat shout.

Tens of thousands of soldiers raised their blades and pointed to the sky.

They looked at the scarred veteran on horseback, and with excitement in their hearts, they shouted in unison: "Hades might! ”

"Hades is mighty!"

…… The sound of neat shouts, like the roar of a fierce beast that has been asleep for a long time and suddenly wakes up, shook people's hearts.

The sound became more and more like, shaking the heavens and the earth, echoing in this silent wilderness, and lingering for a long time.

"This guy!" At the front of the team, Duan Peng, who was dressed in bright light armor, saw that under the moonlight, in the cheers of everyone, Wu Zheng, who looked up and secretly smiled, scolded with a smile.

This guy refused his requests several times, and he had to be scolded in the thankless place of the law enforcement team.

Several times Duan Peng asked him why.

Who knows, this guy just keeps his mouth shut.

I knew that once, this guy drank too much, so he said with a mouth full of wine.

I don't want to make military achievements, I just want those grandsons to survive!

In this sentence, Duan Peng never mentioned the matter of getting him promoted again.

Ay...... At this time, seeing Wu Zheng, who was snickering in the cheers of the soldiers, Duan Peng laughed and scolded, but he was moved by the presence of such a soldier in his heart.

Sou...... Suddenly, in the city of Jiangning, a sharp chirp broke the silence of the night.

After Duan Peng heard this, he turned his head suddenly.

I saw that in the deep night sky, a pure white lotus bloomed in an instant!
