Chapter 589: Northern Frontier
"It's hard? The disciples of Quanjian have to go through the baptism of the first year, and it is good to go to each hall in the past this year. ”
The senior brothers in the same dormitory saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, and thought that Tian Manyun was too tired to study and practice martial arts recently, so he couldn't help but feel relieved.
There happened to be an old disciple passing by next to him, and he chuckled when he heard the words, thinking that at the beginning, the senior brothers also comforted them like this, but year after year, there was no year to be idle.
However, after a year, I joined the various churches, and I was able to take on various tasks and go to various places to see each other, and it was true.
It's just that at that time, I'm afraid they should miss the days of practicing martial arts and studying in the mountains, although they are tired and bitter, but the brothers can see each other at any time, and they are quite happy.
When Yang Yuying designed the classroom for Quanjian's disciples, she referred to the curriculum schedule of the Federal Middle School that year, and it is said that this timetable has a long history, and the same teaching methods used by the Federation and the Empire have been tested for a long time.
Of course, she also thought that players probably couldn't stand it, and deliberately turned on the small smart program of 'boosting', and players can pay to hang up in class.
But I didn't expect that group of players to be more active than the indigenous NPCs, looking at this posture, if they all have such energy in school, they can all go to a prestigious university.
The players said: If they went to school back then, they could learn light skills, learn martial arts, be able to fly on the wall, and their health was very good, and they would never be tired of learning as soon as they learned it.
They study 24 hours a day, without eating, drinking, sleeping, and as long as they don't feel tired, they are still happy.
Can playing games be the same as studying?
Tian Manyun became more and more fond of life on Yushan.
Here, the gentlemen teach without concealment, and he can feel his progress at every moment, and this progress can also be seen by others.
He gradually stopped thinking about the Tian family, didn't think about Tian Manqing, and no longer felt that his previous life was hopeless.
Tian Manyun lived in a four-person dormitory, except for him, the other three people were all children of the villagers of Yucun, and they had long known that they were going to come to Quanjian Villa when they reached their age, and when they mentioned the word 'Quanjian', they couldn't help but have their eyes shining, and they were very happy.
"My family used to be poor, but I still remember that year during the Chinese New Year, the family's debts were not paid off at all, and the creditors forced the door several times, forcing my father and mother to even have the heart to die."
"My sister took advantage of my father's inattention, and secretly ran out to sell herself, and took the money back to pay off the debt, and finally let our family survive the disaster...... But what's the use? Whenever there is a little natural or man-made disaster, the family will still be scattered. ”
Li Erxi said softly, but then relaxed, "Later, I heard from the villagers that life in my hometown gradually began to get better, and my father and mother took me and my brother back home, and then Quanjian recruited disciples, and my brother signed up, was successfully selected, and became a disciple of Quanjian." ”
"My brother worked very hard, and he was able to get a lot of scholarships every month, and with this scholarship, my father quickly ransomed my sister back, and by the second year, our family had built a two-story building, all of which were brick houses, and now life is no worse than those landlords outside."
"Now the three of us sisters and brothers are all disciples of Quanjian, I swore a long time ago that we are all Quanjian people in this life, and without Quanjian, there would be no family."
"To this day, I still remember my sister's desperate eyes and the pain of separation of flesh and blood that year."
The other two roommates are also from similar backgrounds, and each of them carries a heavy past, but such a past is just ordinary, and it is not even so tragic.
In this world, all kinds of tragedies are happening all the time.
Tian Manyun's biggest worry before was just hearing his father praise his younger brother at home, and he was ignored again, now that he thinks about it, what is it?
Quanjian Villa is doing a lot of business now, every night when there is nothing to do, the brothers and sisters sit together and chat, and they inevitably want to talk about the things that the brothers and sisters encountered after they went down the mountain, Tian Manyun couldn't interject, but he was very willing to listen.
The ideas of the brothers and sisters of Quanjian Villa are very special.
They were so different, a passion that Manyun Arida didn't have.
After the New Year's Festival, winter goes to spring, and the earth recovers.
But at the beginning of February, the northern Xinjiang was still vast and bleak.
General's Palace
Fuyuan General Xie Li sat in front of the bookcase, quietly looking at the pictures on the table, there was a faint smell of meat in the wind, and the soldiers could be heard cheering happily through the barracks gate.
Xie Li suddenly reached out and touched his hair, his hair was dark, and he looked a hundred times more energetic than before, it seemed that Xiaowen's kid's hair dyeing skills were very good.
He had to make sure that he was in good spirits every day and didn't show any tiredness, but it was too hard, really too hard.
Qin Mufeng, the third prince of Qin, personally led 300,000 troops to the northern frontier, and the battle lasted for eleven days, and the defenders of Dingzhou were less than 8,000 people.
How difficult it is to fight 8,000 against 300,000.
But the Tianmen Pass can't be broken, once the Tianmen Pass is lost, the Qin State Chang drove straight in, and the goal was Pingchuan Wanli, even if he couldn't kill the capital, but where he passed, the people were displaced, refugees were everywhere, that kind of tragic situation, he was alive, and he would never see it.
When he came to Dingzhou, the defenders were only 40,000, the armament was slack, and the sergeants were all skinny and spiritless.
Fortunately, at that time, the Qin State was also suffering from internal and external troubles, powerless and difficult to invade, so it was only a few years, he worked hard for eight years, and planned many times to expand the Dingzhou army to 100,000, including more than 20,000 elite soldiers.
"Can you pass this level?"
Xie Li didn't know when the next reinforcements would arrive.
As early as last month, the Qin army detained the border, and the battle report had been rushed into the capital for 800 miles, but I never expected that it was the prince's little uncle who came to help, Lekang Hou Zhu Congrui.
As soon as this one arrived, he seized Xie Li's military power, and with full ambition, he wanted to be a champion marquis, to sweep the Qin State, and expand his territory.
Zhu Congrui's appearance is good, and his reputation is also big, although Xie Congrui is very worried, but he knows that in wartime, fighting for power is a taboo, and he can only hope that Zhu Congrui's ability can be worthy of his reputation.
However, it backfired, Zhu Congrui fell into the enemy's trap one after another, defeated again and again, and finally was even deceived into opening the city gate and almost lost Dingzhou City.
If it weren't for the fact that Xie Li had a few cronies around him who acted as eyeliner outside, and he didn't see it well, he risked disobeying the military order and losing his life to snatch Xie Li out in time, I'm afraid Dingzhou would really be gone.
Xie Li took over the remnants of the soldiers, and withstood the three sieges of the Qin army, with heavy losses, Tianmen Pass was in danger, and Dingzhou was in danger!
That Zhu Congrui himself was also frightened, he had been hiding in the camp tent for a long time, drunk and dreaming of death, and he didn't dare to flee now, but he didn't know how to continue to fight, and he just resigned himself to fate.
Xie Li didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he was expecting him to hide far away, so don't show up again to make trouble for yourself.
He has delivered the military newspaper to the capital again, one for help, and the other for grain and grass.
As a result, the news was that the cargo ship carrying grain and grass was silent on the reef, the river was blocked, and it was difficult to transport grain and grass for a while, so he held out for a few more days.
During this period of time, the grain brought by Zhu Congrui was burned clean by the Qin State, and during the war of the army, it was definitely not possible to be hungry, but Xie Li had already collected all the grain and grass that Dingzhou could collect, and he could barely support it for another three or five days.
Xie Li himself is not sure whether he can win this battle, but he can die, but he can't retreat.
"General!"
The deputy general Liu An violently pushed open the barracks gate, Xie Li stood up, and without him saying a word, he went straight out and went straight to the north city gate.
As soon as he approached, the aura of slaughter was raging, Xie Li's expression remained unchanged, and he strode up to the city, and saw that the black pressure outside the city wall was a piece of human head, the soldiers of the Qin State were all wearing armor, and the cavalry was one person and three horses, the people were silent, and the horses were silent, obviously they were all serious elites.
Xie Li couldn't help but think, how could this third prince not die.
The struggle of the Qin State to seize the heir was not easier than them, and it had created a 'miracle' of killing three adult princes within a year, and the three princes were part of the losing side of the war to seize the heir, but he was stunned to be able to run here to start a new stove and regroup.
Xie Lizhong was very depressed, if only this third prince could become the emperor, don't come to Northern Xinjiang, in terms of the ability to lead troops and train soldiers, the three princes are all kinds of leaders, since he came, the good days of Dingzhou are gone.
But if such a person becomes an emperor, then there will be fun to watch.
It's a pity, the emperor of Great Qin is not stupid, he knows what his three sons are, and it is impossible to hand over the dragon chair under his ass to a stubborn person to sit on.
"The surname is Xie, you belong to the shrunken turtle, right, heh, since you don't dare to fight with our army, then obediently open the city gate and surrender to my Daqin, the master sees that you are an old boy who looks good, although he is a little older, but Her Royal Highness the princess of our family does not mind, her old man has already said that she will accept you as a noodle, so that you can enjoy a lifetime of wealth in my Daqin!"
Xie Li was not annoyed at all, and said with a smile: "Forget the face, I heard that your princess's eyes are like copper bells, and her arms can be as thick as thighs, so I don't know what it looks like, why don't you send her into the city, let us open our eyes, if it's really good, I will be the master to send her to the rare birds and beasts garden, so that Your Majesty and his old people can also see the freshness, maybe Your Majesty will be happy, and you can give your princess the name of the world's first cherished beast, wouldn't it be wonderful!" ”
"Damn, I see you guys are toasting and not eating and drinking!"
Outside the city wall, in the middle of the Great Qin army, a general with a slightly thin figure and a very loud voice shouted loudly, waved his hand suddenly, and a silver-armored young general beside him rode out, and in an instant, he pulled his bow and arrows.
Whoosh!
The three long arrows actually shot straight forward, the force was great, the sound of breaking the air was loud, Xie Li did not react, the arrows had arrived in front of the door, the deputy general beside him pulled him suddenly, and he sat down on the ground with a thud, watching the three arrows fly over against the scalp, and actually pierced into the city wall behind him.
"Hahahaha!"
The Qin army under the city laughed loudly, "Xie Li, scared to pee?" Weak legs? If you know each other, you quickly open the city gate and surrender! Lao Tzu rewarded you with your life, stay and be a dog for me! ”
Xie Li had a sharp pain in his lumbar spine, heard the roar under the city, but his heart was not shocked, his eyes swept over the soldiers around him, his heart sank, and his eyes swept towards the deputy general Liu An, Liu An nodded slightly, took a step forward suddenly, and reached out to hold a heavy bow, but with the current distance, he was injured the day before yesterday, in fact, he was not sure.
But even if he is not sure, he must make a move, otherwise his morale will be exhausted, and they will not have to attack the city by the Qin State, they will ...... themselves
As soon as Liu An took the bow, his face did not change at all, but his heart was beating wildly, and he had not yet let go, when he suddenly heard an exclamation from the city, he was stunned, raised his head suddenly, and was surprised to see a black shadow flying down from his own city.
The figure was extremely fast, but also extremely heavy, like thunder, volleying out of the sword, the sword light shot like a dragon for nine days, the sword light passed, only to hear a scream, the person who threw the arrow towards the city covered his throat, and fell down with a bang.
The Qin army was shocked, and the generals were even more shocked, and they suddenly retreated backwards, and the entire formation was in chaos, before they all raised their guns and stabbed at this figure.
"Huh!"
Lang laughed, and the man stepped on the tip of the gun lightly, "Thank you, you don't have to send it." ”
With the words, there was a neighing sound from the city, and more than a dozen war horses in the front row and the cavalry on the horses all fell, and it was obvious that the strength of this person's blow was endless.
He rolled over in the air, stepped on the city wall with one foot, and climbed over it in twos and threes, leaving the chaos under the city behind.
There were bursts of cheers in the city, and there were soldiers who were good at scolding the war in the past, and they scolded the angry Qin army all the time, and the morale was very different from before.
Xie Li only took a closer look at this time, and the person who regained face for him was actually a young man, in his twenties, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his appearance was incredible.
He was wearing the black leather armor common to the Dingzhou Army, his hair was slightly long, and he had a warm smile on his face: "General Xie." ”
Liu An hurriedly came over and said, "General, I haven't had time to introduce you yet, this is from Lin Zhuang...... Ye Pu, Ye Shaoxia. It is the senior brother of Man Yunxian's nephew. ”
"Ye Shaoxia just arrived today and sent us a lot of grain and grass."
Xie Li was suddenly solemn, and he was also relieved in his heart, he had been worried about the problem of grain and grass for several days.
"It turned out to be the young heroes of Linzhuang, I have always wanted to personally thank all the young heroes of Linzhuang, thank you for your support to my Tianmen Pass and Dingzhou Mansion over the years."
Ye Yuling shook his head: "The owner of the village said that when the family and country are in danger, my generation can not do much, but if some things outside the body can bring some help to the stability of the thousands of miles of northern Xinjiang, we can feel very gratified from top to bottom." ”
"This time the river was blocked, our boat could not pass, we could only take the land route, the speed was really slow, I took my senior brother to escort a batch of grain and grass over, about ten days, more than ten days, my senior brother Fan will definitely be able to dredge the river, the road is passed, the follow-up food and salary will be guaranteed, please rest assured general."
Xie Li only felt that the weight on his shoulders suddenly relaxed.
It's not that he doesn't think about it, but it's not the first time they've dealt with Lin Zhuang, and Lin Zhuang's help to their army is not a star.
