Zhao Xuance smiled self-deprecatingly, he had naively thought that he could rely on controlling the garrison of Yuemeng Mountain to delay the time of attacking the Mulberry Snake Clan.

Sure enough, it's just a dream.

He could even imagine that if the commanders and captains of different battalions had not announced their position at the first time last night, they would have been killed as rebels in an instant.

Looking at the middle-level generals with most familiar faces, Zhao Xuance was still a little happy, fortunately, most of those who used to guard Suzhou together were still alive.

For a moment, he didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

From this point of view, it seems that Zhao Xuance's own situation is even more embarrassing.

Yesterday, the commander of the cavalry, who had come out of his post to announce the receipt of the battalion, began to stand in front of the crowd and read out the indictments of the rebels.

Charges include embezzlement, desertion and so on.

However, the most unacceptable thing for Zhao Xuance is that he deliberately rebelled.

This means that these comrades, who were once their closest friends, not only do they not receive any form of comfort after death, but they may even affect their families.

Their names will be inscribed on the pillar of shame in the history of this dynasty, and they will never be turned over.

When Zhao Xuance heard this, he lowered his head, grabbed and released his right hand, released and clenched it, his body trembled a little at this moment, I don't know whether he was sad or angry.

After the indictment was announced, the cavalryman who temporarily took the position of the governor of the Yuemeng Mountain battalion looked at Zhao Xuance, with an undisguised gesture of disdain, and said condescendingly: "Lord Zhao, I don't know if you have any opinions on this decision?" ”

If last night's swift action was the bottom of the prince's house, the crime just announced was to unabashedly suppress people with power, as for asking Zhao Xuance's opinion now, it would be a naked slap in the face.

Zhao Xuance raised his head and stared at the commander in front of him, as if he wanted to engrave his appearance in the depths of his soul.

"What's the matter, Lord Zhao, do you have any different opinions?" The commander of the cavalry looked at Zhao Xuance, still with a domineering attitude.

Zhao Xuance raised the iron spear in his hand and took a step forward, but he didn't want to fight with the other party.

I saw him clasping his fists with both hands, saluting the other party, and said loudly: "The last general doesn't dare, these people deserve it, and it is naturally very happy to lead the thief on behalf of the prince." ”

Then he continued: "The last general is not strict, and I ask the commander to punish him!" ”

There was silence in the school field, and no one could have imagined that Lord Zhao, who had always been upright and awe-inspiring, would endure it like this at this time.

Forbearance sometimes represents an extremely noble quality, Yue Wang Goujian lying down and tasting courage, Han Xin's humiliation under the crotch, and Liu Bang's Hongmen banquet are all a word forbearance.

Endure this festival before you can soar into the sky and trample your opponent under your feet, which is a good story that will last through the ages.

However, in many stories where there is no endurance to turn the tide.

The so-called ninja word has another name.

It was at this time that many people who watched Zhao Xuance eat and were secretly refreshed in their hearts were even about to blurt out the word.

Arouse.

怂 is also called "urine" in some dialects, pronounced "although".

Some people began to talk, and others laughed out loud at this time.

Whether it's the sound of discussion or laughter, it's all harsh.

It's not that ridiculous.

So these laughs, naturally, are deliberate by those people.

If the commander's words to ask Zhao Xuance were a slap in the face, then the current discussion and laughter are humiliation.

The commander was not surprised that he did not stop these harsh voices, but let Zhao Xuance just stand there and experience this humiliation.

Zhao Xuance was unmoved, still maintaining the posture of clenching his fists and arching his hands, but his right hand holding the iron spear, his bone joints were slightly white.

The laughter and discussion finally gradually stopped in this somewhat cold atmosphere, after all, Zhao Xuance's state at this time could not find the slightest fault.

"Lord Zhao has worked hard, for the country and the people, it is common to be deceived by Xiaoxiao, the court is the time to employ people, how can the prince punish Lord Zhao for being a pillar of the country?"

Probably because this commander felt that the humiliation of Zhao Xuance was enough, he said slowly at this time.

"Thank you, Lord Commander, Xia Guan will definitely live up to the expectations of the prince!" Zhao Xuance said in a deep voice.

He stood up straight, his face not sad or happy, but it seemed that this matter really had nothing to do with him.

The commander was slightly cold in his heart, and he couldn't help but glance at Zhao Xuance again.

This is the case that has been revealed.

Then he announced that the whole army would set out at the right time, and that the attack on the Mulberry Snake would be officially launched at noon.

Noon was the time when the Mulberry Snake was the weakest, and King Xiangli could know this, which did not surprise Zhao Xuance.

Now it's up to the teammates of Qi Zhen's team to block the sergeant's attack.

This is not so much a pre-war mobilization as a temptation for Zhao Xuance himself.

The officers and soldiers went down one after another to make the final preparations before the departure, but the commander came to the camp of the king of Xiangli.

At this time, King Xiangli was looking at the topographic map of Yuemeng Mountain, and the location of the immortal pit on the map was drawn with a heavy black circle by a carbon pen.

"Lord Wang." Instead of clasping his fists, the Commander fell to one knee.

"How?" A faint voice came from the huge body of King Xiangli, and no matter how many times people listened to it, they would feel that this voice could not match the real person.

"Report to the prince, Zhao Xuance is a person who is very forbearing." The Commander said.

Subsequently, the commander retold all the things that happened on the school field to the prince, and even Zhao Xuance did not fall even the slightest move.

"Go down." King Xiangli didn't look back after hearing this, but just waved his hand casually.

"Lord Wang, this person is scheming, you can't guard against it, why don't you let the last general slaughter him on the spot to calm the hearts of the army?" The Commander thought for a moment, but still said.

"Huh?"

A trace of panic flashed in the commander's eyes, and he immediately said: "The last general is speechless, and the last general will retire." ”

As the footsteps departed, King Xiangli remained silent as he looked at the map.

The commander withdrew from the tent of King Xiangli, and his body was blown by the mountain wind, only to find that his back was completely soaked.

Over the years, he has followed the prince to fight in the south and the north, and he has no fear in the face of the enemy, but he is a little afraid at this time.

The prince's "um", no matter when you hear it, it will be like hearing the most terrifying voice in the world.

Yesterday evening, when the prince called him to the tent to ask for his face, he left him eight words - moderate humiliation, and retreat if you endure it.

He didn't quite understand, but he could only obey orders.

The forest is not comparable to the official road, and it is not suitable to fight on horseback, so the horses were left in the camp of Yuemeng Mountain, and the cavalry army was turned into foot soldiers to accompany the army.

said that it was a peer, but it was still far away at the back of the line.

And Zhao Xuance led his battalion and walked at the front of the team.

Soldiers who are familiar with the route are in front of them, so even if the mountain road is difficult, the speed of the march is not slow.

Only about half an hour later, the journey was already halfway there.

The team of 1,500 people spread in this forest is still like a drop of water and the sea, and it can't even hit a wave.

But along the way, I still didn't see any shadow of the snake, not even a living creature, which was very scary.

It was as if the forest had become a dead realm at this point.

The sound of footsteps, the clash of armor, and the clashing of weapons against trees were all infinitely amplified at this time.

The most unbearable thing is that it has been half an hour of walking, and the surrounding scenery has not changed at all, except for the trees, which are the trees, and the sound in the ears of the soldiers, except for the footsteps, or the sound of footsteps.

In this forest where it is difficult to distinguish the direction, this silent march makes most of the soldiers begin to feel crazy.

Eventually, another voice appeared in the forest, but it made all the soldiers look slightly different.

The fluttering of the wings of an insect, or the chirping of a bird, or even the cry of an ape, will surprise the soldiers.

Two-thirds of the officers and men of this brigade have never entered the hinterland of Yuemeng Mountain, and only a small number of the remaining one-third have had the privilege of hearing this voice.

The fate of this part of the people is not very good, most of them in the name of being killed by the mulberry snake, reported to the Suzhou government, a small number of people are still recuperating in Suzhou City, not so much recuperation, retirement is more accurate.

There are only a few people left, and they are still in the team at this moment.

Hearing this voice, the faces of these people instantly turned pale and bloodless, and their legs were like sifting chaff.

The sound was like the sound of a mop dragging on the ground, some like the wind scraping the leaves on the ground, and some like the back of a grizzly bear rubbing against the bark of a tree.

Rustle, rustle.

The voice gradually became louder, and everyone stopped at this time, raised their weapons, and prepared to meet the enemy.

It was only a short time before these enemies appeared in the sight of the first platoon of soldiers in front.

It's snakes, endless snakes, dense snakes, colorful snakes.

Their bodies tangled together, rubbed, stacked, and rushed towards the humans in front of them like waves of water.

No matter what kind of species it is, once it accumulates a certain number, it will make people fearful.

Not to mention snakes, which are inherently unlikable animals.

All the soldiers who saw these snakes began to be frightened, their scalps began to tingle, and even had the idea of retreating.

"Array, meet the enemy!" Zhao Xuance's order made the soldiers in front of him instantly make a conditioned reflex-like action.

A row of iron shields stood in front of it.

The iron shield was deeply embedded in the ground of the forest, and there was only a considerable distance between the shields.

The snakes were kept out of the shield wall, and only a few snakes could burrow through the gaps.

And what awaits them at this time is the sharp blade of the soldiers in the back row.

There are many snakes, but they can't fly, so they can only crowd in front of the shield wall, relying on a small number of their kind that burrows into the gaps, trying to inflict damage on the enemies in front of them.

Snake blood splattered.

The soldiers even mastered the rhythm of exchanging attacks, and the soldiers in the front row were tired of chopping, and the soldiers in the back were on top, so that not a single snake could enter the crowd and cause even the slightest panic.

This is the result of the special training developed by Zhao Xuance for the characteristics of the snake clan.

After a slight initial panic, the soldiers quickly adapted to the rhythm and skill of this defense.

So much so that the action of wielding the knife became more and more proficient, and even gradually became handy.

The soldiers who were behind felt relieved and even began to enjoy the slaughter, but they heard the sudden screams of the soldiers in the front row raising their shields.

This scream made the hands of all the soldiers in the back row with knives tremble slightly.

When the soldier holding the shield lowered his head to prevent the snakes at his feet from biting him, he did not realize that the snakes had actually fallen from the top of his head.
