A group of soldiers who died first were also aroused by Wang Maozhang's pride in their hearts, and the dignified military envoys all accompanied them to the city to fight, could it be that the courage of these soldiers who died first was not as good as the other party?

"I'll fight to the death! And then there is the fear of the enemy! After death, you will never be able to live beyond life! The first death soldier swore categorically. In troubled times, the theory of gods and ghosts prevailed. By taking this oath, the first to die has already shown their determination not to take a step back even if they die.

"Good! Come on, bring wine, I will drink a bowl of wine with all the strong men! Wang Maozhang turned over and dismounted, and said heroically.

Soon, several soldiers came over with a stack of high, low-quality ceramic bowls and four jars of wine.

"Come!" Wang Maozhang said heroically, personally picked up the wine jar and poured wine for each of the first dead soldiers, and the slightly turbid wine overflowed the ceramic bowl. The bold spirit is permeated between the actions, which makes the first dead man feel good.

"Drink with all of you!" After pouring it, Wang Maozhang raised the wine bowl with both hands, raised his head, and no less than two taels of turbid wine went into Wang Maozhang's throat.

"!" The first dead soldiers also drank all the turbid wine in the heroic bowl.

"Fight!" Wang Maozhang roared, and the pottery bowl in his hand slammed into the ground and fell apart. Wang Maozhang ignored it, turned around, picked up the long knife and shield hanging on the saddle, and walked around without looking back.

"Fight!" The first deceased soldier was also aroused by Wang Maozhang's action, and everyone smashed the pottery bowl in their hands to the ground. Several red-faced and red-eared soldiers suddenly took off their helmets and roared, "It's very hot, why do you need armor!" ”

His hands tugged left and right in front of his chest, revealing his bronzed chest, but in a matter of moments, he either let the armor wrap around his waist or dragged the armor to the ground. It is full of fierce atmosphere.

The other first-timers were slightly stunned, and laughed: "Good wine!" It's hot! It's my brother who is faster than my brother! ”

With that, everyone began to strip their armor, or wrap it around their waists, revealing a bronze color, with countless scars like centipedes lying on their bodies. Either the armor will fall to the ground.

Wang Maozhang's heart couldn't help but feel hot when he saw it, and just as he was about to take off his armor, the captain of the personal soldiers next to him hurriedly grabbed Wang Maozhang's armor sleeve and persuaded in a low voice: "General! You're the commander of the first army! How can you be brave! ”

Wang Maozhang hesitated, knowing that what the captain of the pro-soldiers said was right, he nodded his head invisibly, and the pro-soldier captain let go of Wang Maozhang's hand on the sleeve.

............ "Your Highness, I found out, it is the eighth Taibao among the thirteen Taibao, and the coach of Hedong makes Li Cunzhang." Zhu Jilong came to Li Cunhuan's side and spoke.

"Oh? It's him! No wonder the defense is not bad, at least it is not messed up! When Li Cunhuan heard this, he was slightly stunned, and his left hand couldn't help but stroke the two beards on his lips that had just been raised.

"Your Highness, Li Cunzhang is not easy to deal with, and he is the best at fighting tough battles, do you want to send someone up to support?" Fu Cunxian frowned and spoke.

As a former senior general in Hedong, Li Cunhuan attached great importance to Fu Cunxian's words, and said in a deep voice: "Wait! ”

"Your Highness!" Fu Cunxian frowned and said in a deep voice.

Li Cunhuan waved his hand, interrupted Fu Cunxian's words, and said: "Since I have appointed Wang Maozhang as the commander of this battle, then I will not interfere at will. Otherwise, am I the coach or Wang Maozhang as the coach? ”

Ge Congzhou, who was on the side, also nodded and agreed: "Since His Royal Highness appointed Wang Maozhang as the siege commander, let Wang Maozhang do it." Whether it is victory or defeat, everything is borne by Wang Maozhang. Otherwise, His Highness would intervene, wouldn't he be beating himself up? Who will follow the rules in the future? ”

Hearing this, Fu Cun Shen pondered for a moment, raised his eyebrows and said, "That's it!" And he said no more.

"Huh!" After half a ring, Ge Congzhou suddenly lost his voice and exclaimed.

Li Cunhuan couldn't help but look slightly condensed, and asked, "Ge Gong, what's wrong?" ”

Fu Cunxian also looked at Ge Congzhou with a concerned expression, not knowing what kind of expression it was, which actually caused this battlefield veteran to exclaim? But to be sure, it's definitely not a trivial matter.

Ge Congzhou didn't answer, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the foot of the city wall, with a dignified look of excitement, which made Li Cunhuan and Fu Cunxian a little strange, and quickly looked in the direction that Ge Congzhou's finger pointed.

I saw about 100 people rushing frantically towards the siege tower, and the siege tower was already close to the city wall, and the wide pedals had released the pulley. Like an old man, he slowly shuddered and pressed down on the battlements of the city wall. But it was like a resolute one, slowly and forcefully pressing down on the city wall, although the speed was slow, but there was an unstoppable momentum.

But this was not the reason for Ge Congzhou's exclamation, the reason was that the more than a hundred soldiers had now rushed into the siege tower. Hair is scattered, **upper body. On the battlefield, if you lose your weapon, you lose your life. Then if you don't wear armor and go to the battlefield, you are dealing with the king of Yama face to face.

Even the warriors of the Qin Kingdom, who were famous for their fierceness on the battlefield, were just not wearing helmets. And these guys are exposing their own vital points, how fierce is this? How fierce is he not afraid of death?

"Kill!" One of the first dead men jumped on the pedal and raised his long knife in his hand.

"Thorn!" The Hedong army guarding the battlement couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths, revealing a deep irony. Xindao: This must be an unlucky guy who didn't know how to offend that chief, he didn't even give him clothes and armor, and he sent him to the first among the dead, what an unlucky guy.

More than a dozen spears were ordered to stab out, and in the narrow space, the first dead man had no way to dodge. But in fact, the first to kill was not prepared to dodge, his eyes were blood-red, revealing a look of madness.

"Poof!" Four spears pierced into his body, and five or six spears grazed his body, sending out countless splatters of blood. But the first dead man suddenly let go of his long knives, held the spears in both hands, and roared, "Brother! Help my brother earn enough money for me! ”

"Dude! You can go with confidence! The two first-timers roared and crossed the first-timers.

The Hedong Army, who was originally standing in the pedal position to resist, couldn't help but change their faces greatly, and everyone wanted to draw their spears. But the dying soldier who was already dying, and he didn't know where the strength came from, showed a crazy smile, and grabbed the spear tightly, and more than a dozen spears seemed to be submerged in the iron plate, and it was very difficult to draw out a few points. It might take a little more time to draw the spear, but don't forget that this is there! It's a battlefield!!

A dazzling white light flashed, and a big human head flew into the sky, and then fell weakly towards the city. "Dude! A certain family has helped you get back your money! The first deceased clenched the long knife in his hand, his eyes full of madness flashing with a bit of crystalline liquid.

"Lao Tzu also helped you, the thief bird, earn two doubles!" The long knife in the hand of another first-timed deceased soldier swept over his waist, and the two soldiers of the Hedong Army who had lost their spears were caught off guard and their stomachs were broken. With a scream, blood gushed out like a dug spring, pouring out wildly, pouring the first dead man into a bloody red.

"Don't forget us!" More than a dozen first-timers rushed out of the pedal frantically.

"Archers! Fast! Shoot there! A Hedong soldier was in the head's voice full of fear.

"Put!" As the command fell, more than a dozen arrows flew out. More than a dozen first-timers were caught off guard, almost everyone hung their lottery, and several first-timers were shot to death because they had no armor to protect them.

"It's just a bird's feather!" A first-timer roared angrily and rushed forward, and more than a dozen spearmen of the Hedong Army hurriedly stopped him.

"Straight thief bird! Don't think that if you have a long root, you grandpa and I can't help it! The first dead man roared, the long knife in his hand was smashed, and a spearman was pierced into the throat by the long knife, and he couldn't help but let go of the spear, and grabbed the blade of the knife, his eyes widened, full of disbelief. There was a gurgling in my throat, and I didn't know what I wanted to say.

The first dead man crashed into the forest of spears, two spears piercing into his abdomen, but he laughed maniacally as if he didn't feel it, and the spear passed through his body, revealing the bloody shaft. Holding the two frightened spearmen with both hands, he suddenly fell headlong from the city wall.

"Brother, I've earned two!" Arrogant and frantic voices roared out from under the city walls.

"Crazy...... Lunatic! A spearman of the Hedong Army shuddered and took a few steps back, muttering in his mouth. When he looked into the eyes of the first dead man again, he was already full of fear. It was as if I was not seeing a person, but a heart-pounding zombie.

"Yan Zhao is so generous!" Ge Congzhou couldn't help but sigh.

Li Cunhuan's eyes narrowed involuntarily, and he suddenly said: "Zhu Jilong!" ”

"The last general!" Zhu Jilong hurriedly replied loudly.

"This battle is the first to be killed, and all are ...... Bestow a badge! Originally, Li Cunhuan wanted to say that he would reward money and silk, but suddenly it happened, what are they doing this for? Is it really for the money? Li Cunhuan decided to reward them with honor, and the warriors needed more than just money.

"Badge?" Zhu Jilong couldn't help but show a puzzled look on his face.

Li Cunhuan nodded and said, "Yes!" Now go down and tell the craftsman to make a badge of valor! It should be easy to wear on the chest! At the same time, don't skimp on materials! Even if it's all gold! And make a pennant! ”

"Yes!" Although Zhu Jilong didn't quite understand, he still responded loudly and walked quickly towards the craftsman camp.

............ "General! Unstoppable! A poignant voice pulled Li Cunzhang back from shock to reality.

Li Cunzhang lowered his head, glanced at the captain of the personal soldier who was usually his favorite, and roared: "Yan Zhao is so generous!" Could it be that Yan has! I don't have a call? ”

Li Cunzhang pulled out the sword at his waist, and stepped out of the city tower with firm steps, in front of him was the Hedong army that was struggling to support, thirty Hedong troops cowered with weapons to resist, and their enemies were only more than ten Youyan [***] first-class dead soldiers, and many of them were covered in blood, and there were even deep wounds that could be seen in the bones.

On the contrary, the Hedong Army in front of them was almost intact.

"Only to the death!" Li Cunzhang roared angrily, leading his own soldiers to stride forward, "Those who retreat! No mercy! ”

The sword in his hand, the sword in his hand fell, a bloody arrow shot up, and a soldier of the Hedong Army who kept retreating fell to the ground, and the surging blood stained the stone slab on the city tower dark red.

"Retreater! No mercy! The fifty personal soldiers around Li Cunzhang roared in unison.

As he spoke, he drove the soldiers to kill, but the first to die was determined to keep the heart of death, and the other side was forced to fight to the death. Who is strong and who is weak, you don't need to look at it to know.

The more Li Cunzhang looked at it, the more angry he became, and roared: "Kill!" As soon as he finished speaking, he lifted his sword and killed it himself.

"General!" The captain of the pro-soldiers was shocked, and just wanted to pull Li Cunzhang, but when he was empty, Li Cunzhang had already rushed into the fight, and he couldn't help but hurriedly lead the troops up.

"If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!" Not to be outdone, the first deceased soldier picked up a big knife and killed it.

"I'm not comparable!" Li Cunzhang was furious, roared, the long sword in his hand was like a flying dragon entering the sea, only to see the white light flashing, he took a stream of blood arrows and flew up, but in a moment, the three first dead soldiers were poisoned by him.

But at this moment, a first-time dead soldier suddenly roared and crashed into Li Cunzhang. Li Cunzhang's eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth showed a touch of disdain, and he roared: "The light of rice grains, how dare you compete with the moon and stars!" ”

The sharp sword pierced through the chest of the first-timer, and the sharp tip of the sword stabbed out from the back with a trace of blood.

But at this time, Li Cunzhang's face suddenly changed, and he saw a strange look on the face of the first dead soldier who was stabbed into the sword. Blood-blistering lips, wriggling: "Mole ants, it's time to kill elephants......

As soon as the words fell, a dagger suddenly stabbed out from below, and Li Cunzhang subconsciously used his hand to block it. At this time, the first deceased soldier took advantage of Li Cunzhang's attention to the dagger anyway, and suddenly hugged Li Cunzhang and jumped off the city tower.

"General!" The captain of the pro-soldier who rushed up from behind was furious, and his voice was full of endless remorse.

However, the soldiers of the Hedong Army suddenly dispersed, and they had no idea of avenging their commander.

"It's over......" Wang Maozhang raised his head and looked at Dongcheng Pass shining in the morning light.

With Li Cunzhang falling from the city tower, Dongcheng Pass soon fell into chaos. Wang Maozhang personally led his soldiers to capture the city tower and open the city gate. The soldiers of Youyan [***] swarmed in and destroyed the resistance of the soldiers of the Hedong Army in Dongcheng Pass in one fell swoop. Countless soldiers of the Hedong Army fled frantically.

However, the losses in this battle are also a lot, Dongcheng Pass is worthy of being the first Xiongguan in the world, although it was fought by Wang Maozhang, but there are still 300 soldiers sacrificed, more than 2,000 soldiers were injured. The casualty rate of the first deceased soldiers exceeded eighty percent, and only twenty-three remained, of which 14 were seriously disabled, and their military careers had come to an end.

After Li Cunhuan entered the city, the first place he went to was not the town general's mansion or the treasury. Rather, it was a makeshift camp for wounded soldiers, filled with the pungent smell of blood, and one after another, with either high-pitched screams or low, mournful moans.

But Li Cunhuan didn't care, he stepped aside from time to time to comfort the soldiers, and constantly sent his soldiers to help. From time to time, he was also fighting on the side, and there was no trace of the condescension that His Royal Highness King Qin should have. Countless wounded soldiers were moved to tears.

Soon, Li Cunhuan came to a certain place in the wounded barracks, where all the people lying down were the first dead soldiers, and all of them were injured. When a first-class deceased saw Li Cunhuan, he excitedly stretched out his only arm, but four fingers had been cut off by the weapon.

"Your Highness! I! I didn't! There is no fear of the enemy......" The last note fell with the sound of excitement, and the arm hung down weakly, and the blood from the wound slid down the arm. Everyone in the neighborhood was stunned.

Wang Maozhang didn't know when he came here, he walked up to the first dead man, gently stroked his eyes with his palm, and gently stroked his eyelids. He said in a deep voice: "He was a soldier who was afraid of the enemy on the battlefield, and the last general hoped to ......"

"No!" Li Cunhuan interrupted Wang Maozhang's words, walked up to the first dead man, ignored the blood stains on his body, straightened his clothes, and said, "He is a hero!" No matter what kind of person he was before! He is now a hero, a hero worthy of the respect of all of Lulong, including me! ”

Wang Maozhang couldn't help but be stunned, he couldn't imagine that Li Cunhuan would give such a big evaluation. and even did not hesitate to come to set off the soldiers with their own dignity.

"Zhu Jilong!" Li Cunhuan said in a low voice.

"Yes!" Zhu Jilong took out a golden coin from the leather bag he brought and handed it to Li Cunhuan.

Li Cunhuan solemnly placed the coin on the chest of the first deceased. Wang Maozhang took a closer look, but it was not a coin, but a golden dragon hovering around the edge, slightly rough, with two big characters engraved in the middle - heroic!

Li Cunhuan was silent for a while, and then said: "This is a badge of bravery, and the soldiers who have obtained the qualification to wear him, and officials below the third rank do not have to salute." Officials above the third grade should give a half-salute. Only the most valiant soldiers on the battlefield can get it! And this battle, the first to the dead, let me see what it means to be fearless! All of you will receive the Badge of Valor! And Right Yan [***] gets a pennant! This is what you paid for the supreme bravery of the first to ascend to the dead! ”

Zhu Jilong took out a pennant in a timely manner, and a tiger appeared on the banner, on the book, heroic iron army.

Everyone was excited, including Wang Maozhang.

And Li Cunhuan showed a relieved smile at this moment, what he was most afraid of was Wang Maozhang's hypocritical smile, but he didn't care in his heart. But it turned out that he succeeded, and he created an army with a sense of honor and faith.

An army of faith is the real army of a hundred battles, a first-class army in the world.

Although Youyan [***] is only beginning to have some of his posture, it is enough for Li Cunhuan to be proud. He has an army under his command that has a chance to become a hero in a hundred battles. What they pursue is not only money, but also honor.
