readx;?Banner Recruitment...... The sound of hooves rumbles...... The turbulent waters of the Shen River are rolling down...... Two days ago, it just rained a lot, the water level of the Tuojiang River is a lot higher, the turbulence is incomparable, the swirling river water will swallow the floating objects on the river surface from time to time, and spit out not far away, the sailors who arrived in Dingzhou yesterday are all boats up and down, up and down on the rapid river, the whole boat is méng on the white cloth, and the helmets of the sailor officials are also tied with a white ribbon, standing upright, and the undulating boats can not let them shake the slightest, For these sailors, who were accustomed to being tossed and turned in the sea, the wind and waves did not affect them at all.

The black eagle stood on the deck with a solemn face, saw the horse team rolling in the distance, and shouted, "Stand up, beat the drum, sound the trumpet!" On the deck, drums and trumpets sounded in unison, and Black Hawk led more than a dozen officers of the Naval Division to hurry down the ship along the gangplank.

The first to gallop was the vanguard cavalry of Wang Yan's Changsheng battalion, thousands of knights lined up in two neat rows, trotting all the way over, not far behind them, Li Qing's Li character banner waved in the wind.

Behind Li Qing, the senior generals of the Dingzhou Army in Quancheng did not pull any of them, except for Guo Quan who led Liang Yi, Zhou Shuwen, He Ping and others to enter Liaoshen, others such as Lu Dalin, Tian Feng, Wei Xin, Lu Dabing, Li Wen, and Tiebao all followed, and everyone's faces were extremely heavy, and Tian Feng, Wei Xin, Lu Dabing and others who personally participated in the Liaoshen Battle were even more tearful.

Li Qing's armor was covered with a sackcloth, and his helmet was completely covered with a white cloth, and behind him, all the generals were also dressed like this.

"General Deng Peng, the commander of the Dingzhou Navy, and General Yuan Zhou of Dingyuan, led twelve warships under his command, a total of 2,152 people, to meet the lord!" Black Eagle knelt on his knees, kowtowed his head heavily, speaking of which Black Eagle is also a veteran of the Dingzhou Navy Division When the Dingzhou Navy Division first set foot in the Black Water Ocean, the first to recover was the Black Eagle, following the Dingzhou Navy Division to fight in the south for several years, the Black Eagle was promoted from a school officer to the fifth-level general of Dingzhou, but General Dingyuan was the first time to see Li Qing himself.

Black Hawk was a little nervous, his head down, his palms covered with sweat.

"Get up!" A gentle voice rang out.

"Yes!" The black eagle kowtowed again, then stood up, and boldly looked up at Li Qing on the horse, with a national zigzag face, blazing eyes, a layer of melancholy, the face was angular and angular, and the lines were extremely clear.

Seeing Black Eagle looking at him, Li Qingwei smiled, "You are Black Hawk?" ”

Black Eagle was overjoyed in his heart, "The lord also knew that my real name was Yuan, just because the last general likes to play with eagles, so he got this name, and his real name is rarely called." ”

"Although it's the first time I've seen you today, but I've heard of your name, well, it was the defeat of the fleet that tried to rob Zheng Zhiyuan that he returned to the Dingzhou Naval Division, and later made many meritorious contributions and was promoted to the general of Dingyuan, by the way, your method of training carrier pigeons has now been popularized in the Dingzhou Army, and this alone has made a great contribution to the Dingzhou Army."

Black Hawk's face was sweating, "Now that I think about it, the last general is really grateful for robbing General Zheng's fleet back then, without that robbery, then there is Black Hawk today?" The last general is green smoke on the ancestral grave, so I am fortunate to be able to follow the lord! ”

Li Qing turned over and dismounted, and said: "This is fate, but you have today's achievements, or you are shocked by your efforts, by the way, what about your eagle, let me see and understand!" ”

Black Hawk turned his head, put his finger in his mouth and made a whistle, and in the river boat, a black shadow rose into the air, went straight into the air, hovered in the air, and landed steadily on Black Hawk's outstretched right arm.

"Okay, it's really amazing!" Li Qing looked at the big eagle on the black eagle's arm, "I heard that he is your right-hand man in battle?" ”

"Yes, my lord, with him, the last general can find the enemy a lot of time in advance and make corresponding arrangements, and the Black Eagle has survived without danger over the years, and he has made a lot of contributions."

"Go back and start a batch of training, this guy is of great use." Li Qingdao.

Black Eagle was a little nervous, "Lord, the last general is reluctant to leave the sailor, the last general has spent half his life begging for a living at sea, leaving the water, that, that ......"

Li Qing glanced at him, "Let's train a batch when you have time, and teach a few more disciples, those people in the Supervision Institute are familiar with training pigeons, and they can't boil eagles!" ”

Li Wen walked up, "Lord, the time has come, let's board the ship!" ”

Black Eagle hurriedly said, "My lord, please get on the ship." ”

Li Qing nodded and strode forward.

"Generals, please!" Black Eagle saluted Lu Dalin and the others behind Li Qing.

On the other side of the Tuojiang River, on the former battlefield between the two mountains, the first to arrive was already heavily guarded, and the surrounding mountains had been carefully combed to ensure that there would be no mistakes or assassins hiding in the meantime.

Several degrees of cold and heat, several degrees of ice, and several degrees of water waves, but the fortifications built by Chen Fayue back then are still vaguely arguable...... It was the place where the dead were buried Li Qing's hand held the railing tightly, his eyes were full of tears, staring at the resting place of the soldiers, his body was slightly begging, the ministry was the biggest defeat in his life, Chen Zeyue led tens of thousands of subordinates, and fought with the enemy's main force here for several days and nights.

"Mourn on Lord's Day!" Lu Dalin walked over, "The soldiers know that the lord is coming to welcome them home in person today, even under Jiuquan, they will also feel Ji Lingting." ”

Li Qing shook his head slightly, and sighed: "Once the success is done, the bones are dry, Dalin, our great cause of Dingzhou is built by these ordinary soldiers with blood and life, they fought on the battlefield in blood, left behind their parents, wives and children, and did not even have a horse grass shroud after death, so they lay on the ground layer by layer, thinking about it, it makes people's hearts ache, Da Lin, so we must be kind to our people, it is they who raised such an excellent son, so we have today!" ”

Lu Dalin nodded heavily, "The teachings of the lord, Dalin takes it to heart, lord, get off the boat, the following ceremony has been prepared, just wait for the lord." ”

"Let's go, take our soldiers home." Li Qing raised his head and strode off the boat.

The iron leopard was already waiting on the shore, waiting for the Dingzhou military flag in his hand to be presented to Li Qing with both hands, holding the Dingzhou military flag with one hand, Li Qing strode forward. Behind him, dozens of tattered military flags were held high by the senior generals of Dingzhou, closely following behind Li Qing, these military flags are the military flags of the troops to which the soldiers who fought here that year, these troops were all killed, only one of the broken military flags was brought back to Dingzhou, and presented in the martyr's hall.

With the dozens of tattered military flags were raised, on both sides of the Tuojiang River, tens of thousands of soldiers were silent, everyone's eyes were focused on these military flags, where the Dingzhou army went, there were many victories and few defeats, even if they failed, there were few such scenes of dozens of troops all killed, seeing these tattered military flags, all the soldiers could imagine how cruel the battle was.

In the center of the battlefield that year, a high altar had been erected, Li Qing held the fixed military flag, and walked slowly, while Lu Dalin and other generals held the military flag in their hands and followed closely.

Standing on the altar, Li Qing's gaze slowly swept over the battlefield ruins, and the eyes of the soldiers on both sides of the strait moved with Li Qing's gaze, and the wind whistled through the mountains and trees, blowing through the half-human-high withered yellow grass and trees on the battlefield, making a whimpering sound.

On the altar, a soldier raised his drumstick high and fell heavily.

With a bang, the monotonous and dull drum beat immediately sounded between this silent heaven and earth!

Boom!

Boom!

The drums continued to sound, and after dozens of sounds, a bull's horn joined in, and the desolate and long sound of the horn accompanied by the dull sound of the drum echoed back to the earth and the sky for a long time.

The drum and trumpet stopped.

Li Qing took a deep breath and shouted loudly with all his strength: "The whole army is ambushed!" ”

With the military flag in Li Qing's hand, thousands of military flags on both sides of the Tuojiang River were lowered almost at the same time, and thousands of flags fell down, and on the river, the main flags of the masts of the twelve warships were also lowered to the center of the mast, and on both banks, only the dozens of tattered military flags fluttered in the wind.

All the soldiers fell to their knees with their heads deeply bowed.

"Hunxi, come back!" Li Qing shouted loudly.

Lv Dalin, Tian Feng, Wei Xin, Lv Dabing, Wang Yan, Li Wen and others waved the military flag in their hands vigorously, and shouted in unison: "Hunxi, return!" ”

"Hunxi, come back!" On the battlefield site, thousands of soldiers shouted in unison!

"Hunxi, come back!" On the Tuojiang River, more than 2,000 soldiers of the Navy Army shouted in unison!

"Hunxi, come back!" On the other side of the Tuojiang River, thousands of cavalry shouted in unison.

"Hunxi, come back!" Tens of thousands of people on both sides of the strait chanted in unison, and the sound shook the clouds.

With a bang, the drum beat again, and after ten consecutive sounds, the rhythm of the drum began to change, and the generous drum made the soldiers feel like returning to the battlefield of fighting, and the blood of the whole body was ignited, and the sound of the military horn sounded, which was the horn of the charge.

"Raise the flag, Dingzhou Army, advance!" Li Qing hissed.

"Raise the flag, Dingzhou Army, advance!" Soldiers on both sides of the strait stood up at the same time, thousands of battle flags waved, Lu Dalin, Tian Feng and others held the military flags in their hands, trotted all the way to the battlefield ruins, ran to the various positions of the year, planted the military flags in their hands on the high points, and stood awe-inspiring with their hands holding the flags.

"Dingzhou Army, advance!"

"Dingzhou Army, Wansheng!"

In the earth-shattering call, everyone in the field was full of tears, blood boiling, the black eagle is the first time to experience this special trick of the Dingzhou army to sacrifice the Mo ceremony, shocking, this is not only the respect for the dead, but also for the living Ji encouragement.
