Chapter 1: The Creeps at the Head of the City
On the border of the Han Kingdom, under the Yongcheng City, the north wind howled and rolled up the big flag under the city. On the banner is a big Qin character. The soldiers under the city were dressed in armor, and their eyes revealed deep longing. That is the ambition to make a contribution, and the yearning for the marquis to worship the general.
This year is the year 421 of the Yuan calendar, and the people of the Qin State knocked on Yongcheng and attacked the Han Dynasty.
Zhang Yuan on Yongcheng looked at the wolf-like Qin Jun below, and subconsciously tightened the spear in his hand, and his legs trembled slightly.
"What, I'm scared!" asked the veteran surnamed Wang next to him patting Zhang Yuan's shoulder with his big calloused hand.
Zhang Yuan turned his head to look at Lao Wang, and before he could speak, Lao Wang continued, "It's useless to be afraid, with my Lao Wang's many years of experience, the more afraid you are, the faster you will die." Those who have survived all wars are warriors."
Lao Wang's words are true, but the 100,000 soldiers under the city are pressed by the black, and then look at the few more than 10,000 soldiers in the city. Half of them are newly enlisted, how to fight this battle. Zhang Yuan stared at Lao Wang for a while, and his lips moved slightly. In the end, nothing was said.
Zhang Yuan was also a recent enlistment. He is a native of Yongcheng, his parents are dead, and he has a younger brother at home. He didn't have any skills, and he fell in love with the daughter of a family in the city. When the daughter's father heard that Zhang Yuan wanted to marry his daughter, he picked up a stick and blasted the matchmaker out. He also scolded Zhang Yuan for being cowardly and cowardly. even wanted to marry his own daughter.
It seems that what this person said is right, looking at Zhang Yuan facing the two forces of the Qin army under the city. It's really a little timid. Besides, Zhang Yuan is usually bullied, and he always swallows his anger. But the rejection of the marriage proposal this time really stimulated Zhang Yuan. At this time, when I heard that the Qin army had entered the Han Kingdom, Yongcheng City urgently recruited troops. Zhang Yuan simply put his heart on the horizon and joined the Han army.
Which Cheng thought that Qin Guo would raise a million teachers, and now his repentant intestines were blue. Zhang Yuanzhen wanted to spray Lao Wang's face and then tell him, "Do you have common sense, ten thousand to one million, the braver you are, wouldn't it be faster to send it" but he didn't dare, he was afraid of the law enforcement soldiers behind him with round eyes. Those people are really murderous without blinking.
In the past two days, Zhang Yuan had seen a scared soldier clamoring to go home, but before the man could finish speaking, his head flew up. He also looked at his lower body blankly, and it was the law enforcement soldier who attacked him. Afterwards, he only said a word to confuse the army's morale and dragged it away. At that time, Zhang Yuan was on the side, and he clearly saw the ridicule in the corner of the law enforcer's eyes and the smile on his lips.
At that time, he almost collapsed, and he kept telling himself to be calm and calm, and he didn't pee his pants until it was his turn.
Zhang Yuan froze, and still asked in a low voice, "Brother Wang, how long will it take for us to end this war?"
"I'm outnumbered, and I can't guess how long I'll fight. But rest assured, under the leadership of General Bai Gongsheng, we will surely achieve the final victory," Lao Wang replied firmly
Zhang Yuan's eyes twitched, don't look at Lao Wang's words with the belief that he will win. He could still see that even a veteran like Lao Wang was not optimistic about this war.
Taking a step back, even if this war can be won, I am afraid that there will be no one in ten of these people.
"Bang" Zhang Yuanchao was a slap in his face. He felt that he was hopeless, and rushed to his death in order to fight for his breath. It's no one anymore. If it weren't for the burning pain on his face, he would have wanted to do it a few more times.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Lao Wang looked at the red and swollen handprints on Zhang Yuan's face, his eyes were round, and his mouth was round. Pull's face is a little longer. After a while, he rubbed his face and felt that the muscles on his face were no longer tense. Lao Wang was a little confused, he spoke well just now. How can you fan yourself well? There are no mosquitoes on this cold day!
"Ahem, it's okay, I just felt a little itchy just now" Zhang Yuan looked around. A lot of eyes are facing him, and he is very embarrassed.
Lao Wang is still a little suspicious, and it is worth making so much effort to touch it. He also wanted to ask Zhang Yuan what was going on? At this time, Zhang Yuan stared closely at the camp of the enemy army outside the city. It's serious.
Occasionally, I sneaked a few glances at Lao Wang with my eyes. As long as Lao Wang wanted to speak, he would block Lao Wang with the situation of the military camp outside the city.
"Brother Wang, the military camp opposite is really mighty"
"Brother Wang, there is a huge momentum outside the city!"
"Brother Wang, a big bow was raised outside the city"
Lao Wang's indescribable diaphragm. I didn't even open my mouth, as for blocking myself with words like this? Besides, what is the situation outside the city, Zhang Yuan still said, and he is not invisible.
"Alright, brother, don't shout, we've seen the situation outside the city. Beware that the law enforcement team has seen you guilty of disrupting order."
Zhang Yuan looked around, and a team of law enforcement soldiers happened to come over. He was so scared that he was covered in a cold sweat, afraid that he would give people a click if he didn't know it. But fortunately, there is also a leading figure, and it is General Bai Gongsheng. Apparently it wasn't directed at him. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
When Bai Gongsheng approached, both Zhang Yuan and Lao Wang were straight, and they didn't dare to move.
Bai Gongsheng was tall, wearing a silver shining armor and a silver helmet, which could be seen even in the enemy camp outside the city, and he was very powerful.
Bai Gongsheng didn't deliberately approach anyone. He stopped when he was still a hundred steps away from Zhang Yuan, glanced at the soldiers at the head of the city with tiger eyes, and then looked intently at the enemy camp outside the city. shouted "soldiers" in a deep voice
When the eyes of the soldiers on the city converged on Bai Gongsheng, he continued to speak: "You have worked hard, I know that most of you are worried in your hearts. I felt that there were millions of people outside the city, and there were bright hooks and halberds in my hands. How can we stop them with a small city and less than 20,000 troops?"
Bai Gongsheng glanced at the soldiers around him again, and found that many people were in a low mood, obviously speaking to their hearts. Bai Gongsheng continued: "Soldiers, don't look at the fierce flames of the Qin State now, you must understand that the million-strong army is already the national power of the Qin State. Although the Qin State has a land of 20,000 li like our Han State, the Qin State is withered, and its population is less than one-fifth of China's. This Qin State is defeated, and our country is also victorious. ”
"The Qin State has come from afar, and it is already a tired army, and our army is waiting for work, and the soldiers are all fierce and fierce. This Qin State lost twice, and our country won two victories."
"Our soldiers are responsible for defending the territory, and they must be brave and fearless in battle. The Qin army took the initiative to start a war, although there were many troops, but once they were defeated, the sergeants would not go all out. This Qin State has lost three times, and our country has won three victories."
"Yongcheng is a vital place, and the way to choke the throat. The east and west sides are mountains, and the south is the hinterland of our Han Kingdom. We only need to defend the north, and once the Qin State cannot win. At that time, reinforcements from our Great Han Kingdom will continue to pour in. The state of Qin will be defeated. So we only need to defend for about ten days to win, and then we can seal the shadow of our wife and son."
After Bai Gongsheng's analysis, many soldiers defending the city felt that victory was just around the corner. Many of the recruits began to whisper.
A recruit next to Zhang Yuan said to Zhang Yuan: "I'll just say, the Qin army outside the city has nothing to be afraid of. When the time comes, I will kill a few more people and make a general. Don't be so scared that you pee your pants when the time comes" This person also seems to know that Zhang Yuan is a timid and cowardly person, after all, Zhang Yuan's timidity is well-known in Yongcheng.
Zhang Yuan felt that his face was hot, and a wave of anger rose in his chest, so he sneered at each other: "This brother, maybe I will be one level older than you when the time comes?"
After hearing Zhang Yuan's words, he was stunned at first. Then he laughed, he felt that Zhang Yuan was really good at telling jokes, could a timid person like Zhang Yuan be more than his own credit after the war.
There are still many people who start to compete with each other before the war starts, and more of them are words of mutual encouragement. Most of the people who spoke were recruits, and the veterans just shouted Wan Sheng when Bai Gongsheng's words fell.
Bai Gongsheng didn't mean to stop everyone, after all, this was conducive to boosting morale.
In fact, Bai Gongsheng's words are flawed. If the Qin State really had no chance of winning at all, how could it hastily launch a war? The Qin State dared to brazenly launch a war on two grounds: First, the Qin State was well-armed and sharp. Second, the supernatural powers of the Qin State were much higher than those of the Han State. Soldiers like Zhang Yuan, who are standing at a relatively low altitude, will not know this information. Bai Gongsheng wouldn't tell them this stupidly.
At this time, the camp of the Qin State.
Four or five soldiers raised a large bow, which was more than two people tall. The bowstring crumbled tightly. In addition, several people carried out what resembled a wooden stake. The stakes seem to be pieced together.
The soldiers brought bows and stakes to the front of the camp. There were two people at the head of the camp in front of the camp. One of them had glowing eyes and was staring at the head of Yongcheng. This person is handsome and magnificent. Just bare chest with a fierce scar on his chest.
"General, there is a general in silver armor at the head of the city who is boosting morale. It looks like you said Bai Gongsheng," the burly man said to the other person at the head.
"Yes, yes, let's try our new weapon with him!, sir, be sure," replied the man known as the General.
The burly man nodded, giving the general a reassuring look. Then he took two steps forward, and the void pointed towards the Great Bow. The big bow flew in front of the man, and he pointed at the stake, and the stake flew in front of the man.
This scene was just seen by Zhang Yuan at the head of the city, and Zhang Yuan hurriedly reported it to Bai Gongsheng.
"Oh, you can see the Qin army camp clearly," Bai Gongsheng said in surprise. After all, Yongcheng is about ten miles away from the Qin army's camp, and although the soldiers at the head of the city are condescending, there are still very few who can see such a long distance.
"Yes, General," said Zhang Yuan, glancing in the direction of the Qin army's camp again. Surprised, he said, "The stake seems to be flying towards us."
Before Bai Gongsheng could react, the guards around him all looked at Zhang Yuan with angry eyes.
One of them said: "Zhang Yuan, are you playing with General Bai, the Qin camp is so far away from Yongcheng, how can it be possible to shoot us." If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll ......" Before he could finish speaking, he opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak anymore. Now the stake is less than five miles from the city, and the eyes can see it with a little better eyes.
Bai Gongsheng's other guards also opened their mouths wide. Unexpectedly, the Qin army really shot a wooden stake towards Yongcheng.
