Chapter 34: Soldiers of the Empire
The moon was bleak, and in the silence, on a city wall on the outskirts of Lhasa, there was a group of Tang soldiers with bright eyes, patrolling the dark night, and among those soldiers, there was a soldier wearing a unique armor that was somewhat noticeable.
Chu Yun was a cavalry guard of Xue Rengui's Left Guard, and he should be on duty tonight, so he took his hundred subordinates to keep vigil on the tower in the north of Lhasa.
Raising his head, Chu Yun sighed slightly, only at this time, he felt a deep loneliness in his heart, the bright moon in the sky was very big, but in Chu Yun's eyes, he always felt that the moonlight here was not as bright as in his hometown.
On the plateau thousands of miles away from home, every qiē here is full of desolation, compared with the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it is like a flood here, there is no prosperous commercial street, no pedestrians coming and going, and there is no lively atmosphere in the hometown, there are only endless mountains and desolate people.
The moonlight is still sprinkled on the body, the cold light reflects the cold light on the crossbow arrows, and the armor has a cold chill, but in this long night, it makes him feel a sense of security, this is the stainless steel armor produced by Xujiazhuang, known as invulnerability, this is still a set of his brother who went to school in Nanshan Academy to get for himself, and ordinary soldiers can only wear the armor produced by Changsun Iron and Steel Factory, which makes him feel particularly face-saving in the army.
Chu Yun's family is a third-rate family in Yinzhou, and Chu Yun's father is an elder in the family, which makes Chu Yun's life very solid since he was a child. Chu Yun also has two elder brothers, both of whom are very promising. The eldest brother took over many of the industries created by his father at a young age. In particular, mining coal mining. He is handy among the merchants in Yinzhou, and he is even more prosperous in making money.
The second brother is more promising than the eldest brother, he is the only child of the Chu family who was admitted to Nanshan Academy, in the current Tang Dynasty, there will be a blind worship of the students of Nanshan Academy, because the students who have been cultivated in it for four years will not become the great talents of the country in the future. In the eyes of the world, they are about to enter Nanshan Academy, that is, they have embarked on a path of becoming a master.
Chu Yun and the second brother have a very good relationship, they have also exchanged letters many times, Chu Yun is actually very envious of the second brother, from the second brother's letters, Chu Yun knows that the second brother works part-time in the canteen of Nanshan Academy, plays football on the wide football field, and spends time in Qujiangchi and the girls of the women's college, which once made Chu Yun envious, and he is also determined to be admitted to Nanshan Academy.
But nine times out of ten, life is not as expected. After two years of hard work, Chu Yun finally didn't even pass the township exam. Not to mention being admitted to the academy, so he gave up the path of learning literature and went to practice martial arts instead.
Fortunately, Chu Yun's physique is good, and he also has some talent in martial arts, so he was quickly selected into the army under the care of his family and became a soldier in the Longyou Left Guard.
The army is a harsh place, Chu Yun's character for more than ten years was smoothed out here in just five months, here, there is no fine clothes and food, some are just coarse tea and light rice, and what is even more unbearable is the cruel training method, rolling in the mud, running in the rain These are the most recent trainings.
Guiguzi Xu Yang once said, "Sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime." This made Chu Yun sweat more than the blood in their whole body during their daily training.
The training is very tiring, and the training as a low-level soldier is even more tiring, but Chu Yun is literate, which is a great skill in the army, with this, Chu Yun also became a cavalry guard, and began to embark on the road of military rank.
But just being a cavalry guard is not the end of Chu Yun's dream, in the army, there is no background and family background, some are only the strength of the strength, and the size of the rank, Chu Yun dreams of being a lieutenant-level officer, so that he has the right to command thousands of soldiers and horses.
For this reason, Chu Yun followed the army and came to this Qinghai-Tibet Plateau thousands of miles away, the last opponent of the Tang Dynasty, the Great Food Empire is about to start a decisive battle with them, if they can achieve merit in this war, then there is great hope for returning to the Tang Dynasty and becoming a captain himself, so this war is only allowed to win, not defeat.
The night was already deep, and the bleak moonlight was still flowing like water......
Sarubi looked up at the sky, the moon in the sky was big and round, and he suddenly remembered the story of the apotheosis of Diana, the goddess of the moon, that his mother had told him when he was a child.
He has been away from his homeland for more than three years, during which he has followed in the footsteps of Allah's Apostle and conquered city after city and eliminated groups of infidels at the call of Allah.
The wind in the night was a little cold, and Sarubi wrapped himself in white silk on his head, and the dead spirits seemed to be like a crying cold wind, roaring at his will, but he was not afraid at all, because under the light of Allah, these infidel spirits could not hurt themselves at all.
Coming from Arabia, the climate of the highlands was unaccustomed to many soldiers in the army, and Sarubi preferred the warm and dry climate of Arabia to the cold mountains, but in order to follow the orders of Lord Omar I and exterminate the hateful infidels, Sarubi felt that the cold was not unbearable.
Climb over the mountains in front of you, and then cross a river and a wasteland, and you will meet the biggest opponent of the Great Food Country now; Tang Dynasty.
The Tang is the largest country in the Far East, and at the same time, it is also the country with the largest number of pagans, and the Tang people have no faith, which makes Sarubi feel very incredible, if those pagans have no faith, what is it that supports them to continue to live?
But these are the questions that Sarubi has to think about, because tomorrow the army of Allah Allah will cross the mountains and rivers and launch its first attack on the Tang, and this time, Lord Umar has contacted seven small countries to send troops with them, vowing to avenge Lord Alasa, the shame of Yixue being attacked by night.
Lord Omar is the Allah apostle in the world, his words are oracles, Lord Omar once said that the Tang people are greedy heretics, and they must be destroyed in order to restore order, Sarubi is convinced of this, and on the day of the battle with the Tang people, Sarubi decided to kill those Tang people with his most skilled horsemanship and the most gorgeous sword skills, to let them know the consequences of offending Allah...... (To be continued......)
