Volume 7 Getaway Chapter 6 Holding the Lance (Part I)

The lance is long and eight, the steel is the edge, the bronze is the compilation, and the grip is in the palm, and the murderous spirit is overflowing.

Li Xu never expected that at the moment when the war was approaching, someone would actually send a long lance to him. This is exactly the one he saw on the way out of the fortress, Captain Hu Ben infantry held the lance in his hand, shouted the word "roll", and the two Turkic villains hugged their heads and ran away.

For a long, long time after that, Xuzi looked forward to having a long lance for herself. Like the infantry captain and General Luo Yi, he beat the wolf cavalry who dared to invade the Central Plains. This dream lasted almost the entire life of his youth, until the fire on the Liao River burned it to pieces. And now, the faint blood marks on the lance have awakened all those dreams, and they have never been clearer.

He admired Luo Yi and the infantry, and admired these people for their kung fu on horseback. Worship them, they are not bound by their origins and families, and they can do what they want to do happily. And now, what he respects more is the infantry captain's insistence on ideals, although from the moment he took over the lance, he has already guessed the end of the other party's life.

A sword is equivalent to half the life of a general, and unless he retires or thinks he has no hope of survival, the generals will not give the weapon to others. Obviously, at the moment of sending his henchmen to send out the lance, the infantry general had already made the last choice in his life. He was powerless to stop Luo Yi from riding a tiger to realize his dream of competing for the world, but he could defend his conscience with his life.

He was a follower of General Luo Yi's dream back then. After General Luo Yi forgets his dream, he will try his best to remind him. But when he found that he no longer had the strength to redeem the decision of the entire Youzhou, and did not have the strength to resolve the hatred of the Youzhou generals for Boling, he chose to die. Protest the betrayal of promises by some people with death, and use death to remind everyone of the duty of the Tiger Rider.

Xuzi knew that, like the old general Zhang Xutuo, Captain Bu was also a guardian. When they don't have the strength to continue guarding, the enemy can only get to the target they are guarding by stepping over their corpses. Maybe in the eyes of some "wise men", the behavior of General Zhang and Captain Infantry is really a bit stupid, but for thousands of years, it is these "fools" who have illuminated the entire history with their own blood!

Xuzi knew that the reason why Captain Bu handed over the lance to him was to let him fulfill his unfulfilled wish for him. Standing on the Great Wall, which stretches for thousands of miles, he can feel the blood rushing in his body. That is the blood of all the defenders of the Great Wall for thousands of years, from Meng Tian and Li Guang to the general Yang Shuang and the lieutenant infantry, they can be spilled with the blood of the invaders, but no one can be allowed to defile it.

Xuzi also knows that she will never live up to the trust of the other party, and she will not interrupt the inheritance of these guardians. In his opinion, the reason why the Youzhou Iron Cavalry left the reputation of "the Great Wall has gaps, and the tiger is unparalleled" is because of the existence of such a long lance. And there will always be someone to take this long lance, even if there is no Li Xu, there will be another person standing on top of Guan Mountain, holding the lance in his hand.

Hold the lance in your hand and guard the tranquility of the land behind you. Whoever wants to trample on the home behind them must first step through the pool of Guardian blood.

Future generations do not need to mourn for the duty of the warriors, because it is their duty to guard.

"The duty of a military commander is to guard!" The words of the old general Zhang Xutuo have never been understood by Xuzi as thoroughly as they are now. After thinking about this clearly, the leaden gray clouds overhead immediately seemed to fade a lot, and the oncoming north wind seemed to be much less cold. "Take it!" Xuzi handed the lance to Zhou Daniu, who was following him without leaving. "Find a place, there, that's the highest point of this section of the Great Wall, plug it in!"

"Just a lance?" Zhou Daniu felt inexplicable, but he was already accustomed to Xuzi's recent astonishing move, turned around quickly, and ran towards the battlement mouth that Li Xu pointed out with the lance, and slammed the bronze lance into the crack of the city wall.

"Buzz!" As if suddenly came to life, the whole lance let out a cheerful chirp. Immediately after, the wind swept over the upright lance blade, and played a poignant and long horn, "Woo-woo-woo———"

"Woo-woo-woo-woo" The clever Zhou Da Niu snatched the horn from the soldiers stationed at the battlement and struggled to reconcile. "Woo-woo-woo-woo" The soldiers at the other battlement next to him thought that Zhou Daniu was in contact with him, and also responded with the sound of horns.

"Woo-woo-woo-woo"

"Woo-woo-woo-woo"

"Woo-woo-woo-woo"

A battlement, a battlement, and another battlement, the solemn sound of the horn continued slowly, and it instantly continued from one end of the Great Wall to the distance between heaven and earth. The whole Great Wall seemed to come to life in an instant, trembling its broken body and letting out the roar of a dragon, "Woo-woo" "Woo-woo"

With the continuous roar of the dragon, a beam of sunlight instantly broke through the clouds, projected onto the dragon's body, and then condensed on the edge of the lance. Wanliguan Mountain and Wanli Wasteland were also suddenly awakened from hibernation, and the sound of wind, water, and hunting flags played a long song of spring, "Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo————"

Attracted by the bustle of the city, Li Jiancheng climbed up along the road and asked breathlessly, "What happened?" Has the Turkic Wolf Rider arrived? ”

"Not yet! But it's also very fast! Li Xu stretched out his finger and pointed to the smoke that was getting closer and closer outside the Great Wall, and replied with a smile. Since he and Li Jiancheng moved the Chinese army's tent forward to Dingyuan Fort at the foot of the Great Wall, it has become a routine official duty for them to visit the city every day. Only by standing on the Great Wall can you really feel the pressure from outside the fortress. Although Wang Xuba and Dou Cong are like two golden eagles that pounce down at any time, some tribes that have gone too far ahead have suffered a catastrophe. But there are still more and more smoke columns caused by the nomadic tribes burning wood for heating, and they are getting closer and closer to the Great Wall.

"What's so funny about that!" Li Jiancheng grinned his bloody lips and asked dissatisfiedly. He was a little uncomfortable with the dry and cold wind of Zhuojun, and he was not very accustomed to the tense atmosphere before the war. In the past, he had a vague impression of who the enemy was, what his strength was, and what the general's ability was. And this time, he only felt that the enemy was slowly approaching him, and he didn't know how many people there were, how many generals there were, and what the combat skills and will of the opponent's soldiers were.

This feeling of battling the unknown is depressing. It's like walking alone on a snowy night, you can't see the starlight and ***, and you can't see where the road is. All you can hear is the wind and the howl of wolves, and all you can feel is loneliness and fear.

But today, Li Jiancheng felt a glimmer of hope. Because he looked at the long-lost confidence on Li Xu's face again. As long as Asahiko doesn't lose the confidence to win, this battle won't be lost. With his understanding of Li Xu, Jiancheng firmly believes this.

And the smile on the latter's face is really comforting. Pointing to the ruined city wall bathed in the spring sun in the distance, Li Xu smiled and continued to remind: "Look at it yourself, is it different from when we first arrived?" ”

"Almost? However, it's different! Li Jiancheng looked at Xuzi's finger and replied with a frown. There seems to be a big difference between today's Great Wall and yesterday's Great Wall, but he can't see the specific difference. I just feel that the atmosphere inside and outside the Great Wall has been very different, it was originally tragic and depressed, but now it exudes a vitality from the inside out.

The long-lost spring breeze has blown to the foot of the Great Wall! Li Jiancheng suddenly understood that the difference was there. When they first arrived, there was still snow near the Great Wall. The colors of the heavens and the earth are very dull. Today, the mountains are no longer blue-gray, but a verdant new green. It's like being smeared with a giant pen in an instant, clean and neat, and the layers are clear. In the distance, a dark gray pillar of smoke gradually approached, but the green near did not hesitate to meet it, as if the two armies were facing each other, not giving an inch.

"It seems to be alive!" After carefully looking at it for a while, Li Jiancheng spoke again. This time, he had a smile on his face. "Not only it, but the scenery on our side seems to be alive, while the shepherd's side is dead. It's spring now, everything is growing, and you must have picked the wrong time to go south! ”

"People say that when General Meng Tian built the Great Wall, he asked Fang Shi to seal a small dragon under the root of the city, so the Great Wall has a soul!" Li Xu pressed his hand on the outer edge of the Great Wall and said with a laugh.

"Then it should jump out on its own and swallow the southbound wolf rider!" Li Jiancheng was infected by the other party's emotions and responded with a smile, "However, it does look like a living dragon." Drink the water of the East China Sea and step on the wind of the Western Regions! He quoted a poem written by his predecessors to compare the current mood.

In the tanka of its predecessors, the Great Wall is alive, and legend has it that it will wake up at a specific moment to protect itself and the dignity of the entire Central Plains. Li Jiancheng has never believed in the wishful thinking of these literati, after all, in the nearly 400 years before the establishment of the Great Sui, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Xia, Qiang, and Di were allowed to crisscross the land of the Central Plains, and this giant dragon never woke up and never fulfilled its duties.

Today, however, he really feels the vitality of the Great Wall under his feet. It seems to be ready to take off in the air and dance in the spring air.

After looking at it for a while, he finally saw the lance standing on the head of the city, and couldn't help frowning curiously. "What's that, why did you just put up a flagpole there, and there was no flag hanging on it?"

"Can't the prince see that it's a lance? But you can use it as a flagpole too! Li Xu glanced at Jiancheng's gaze and replied with a smile.
