Chapter 1013: The Bound Ones
Defend and capture, and see that we have captured this city for the sake of guarding! Although they have been fighting alone for more than 20 years, these white-haired soldiers still do not reduce the pride of Datang, and they are also full of confidence in the face of the solid city walls of Juliu City.
"Since Ben Jiang is guarding the six cities, it is within Ben General's duty to take this city!" Shen Long couldn't bear to watch them fight in a safe place, with their age, they should have been teasing their grandchildren at home and raising their old age, but now they still have to fight for the Tang Dynasty, Shen Long can't bring enough soldiers and horses for them to return to the Tang Dynasty, but he can let them sacrifice less.
Shen Long immediately sorted out his armor and walked at the front of the army, at this time it was dawn, and the Tubo guard was loose, perhaps in their opinion, now the Tang army has been compressed in the two isolated cities of Xizhou and Qiuzi, and there is still time to protect itself, so there is still enough strength to attack? The Uighurs had just changed their khans, and Gyugas had already returned to the king's tent, and no one would attack them.
However, Shen Long came, he brought Qiuzi, the white-haired veterans of Xizhou and the young man of Chang'an, and when they reacted, Shen Long had already climbed to the top of the city, stabbing left and right with a horizontal knife, and there was no one under him, and only one person opened the way to the city for the Tang army.
"It's a good martial art to guard and capture, I'm afraid that the former supernatural General Li is far behind, right?" Shen Long's martial arts stunned the Tang army, they counted the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, but they couldn't find one that could compare with Shen Long, even the supernatural general Li Siye back then, right?
Li Siye is a famous fierce general in the Tang Dynasty, seven feet tall, powerful and outstanding, good at using Mo knives, in the past, when guarding the Western Regions, every time he went out to fight, he was holding a Mo knife and taking the lead, when everyone was broken, he was known as a supernatural general, and there were also white-haired soldiers who had followed Li Siye to fight when they were young, but now that they saw Shen Long, they felt that even if Li Siye was resurrected, I am afraid it would not be as good as ah.
"Although Yuan Zheng's martial arts were good in the past, they were not so powerful, didn't he meet immortals when he returned to Chang'an this time?" Guo Yuanzheng's old buddy raised such doubts.
"My Datang has the blessing of a hundred gods, and it is also a great thing for Yuan Zheng to be able to do this to my Anxi army!" Someone explained with his own thoughts, and when he thought of this, he couldn't help but have the thought that God had not abandoned us.
Under Shen Long's cleanup, there were fewer and fewer Tubo defenders at the head of the city, more Tang soldiers climbed up to the city, and then opened the city gate, and the large group of people swarmed in, annihilating all the Tubo defenders in the city.
After destroying the enemy army, Shen Long was busy pacifying the people in the city, looting the enemy army and accumulating, and he didn't have to stop for a while, and he was busy from early morning to sunset in one breath, and the matter at hand eased a little.
He originally planned to go to celebrate with the soldiers, but he saw a young man from Chang'an walk in with a solemn face, "Guard, the sons have found some people in the city." ”
"Some?" Shen Long was a little confused, and he asked, "Who is it?" But what's the difficulty? ”
"Catch you, let's go and see for yourself!" The boy's mouth opened, but he still didn't say it, but his eyes were already red, and his eyes were full of tears.
Shen Long followed him out, tossed around the city, came to a dirty and narrow alley, and saw the group of people mentioned by the young man, this group of people were ragged, wearing the torn clothes of the Tubo people, their faces were weathered, and their bodies had become thin and weak due to long-term fatigue and torture, but when they saw Shen Long, they saw that these soldiers dressed in Tang Army were still holding their chests tall and trying their best to stand straight.
"General! But my Datang soldiers and horses are back? An old man who looked like a leader stepped forward and asked in a somewhat jerky Chinese dialect.
"Exactly! Capture Guo Yuanzheng in the six cities of Xiaju! Seeing this scene and hearing their voices, Shen Long had already guessed the origin of these people, and solemnly made a military salute, "You have suffered, now that the Tubo people have been driven away, you can be the people of the Tang Dynasty again!" ”
They didn't cry, but the tears couldn't stop flowing, and the tears washed away the black mud on the faces of these old men, rushing out of the ravines, but they still stood up straight, and solemnly saluted Shen Long, reporting their names, "Xuanwei Army...... Wu Weijun ...... Han Haijun ...... Blackwater Guardian ...... I've seen Guo Shouchuang! ”
"Catch, what is this?" The young man in Chang'an asked in a low voice, in fact, he already had a guess in his heart.
"These are the Tang Dynasty soldiers who have lost their lives to the enemy for so many years, they are my soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and they are the veterans of my Anxi Protectorate and Beiting Protectorate!" Tears also rolled down Shen Long's face, these people came from different armies, and the time they fell into the hands of the Tubo people was not the same, right? The same is that they all remember their identity as soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and they are also always looking forward to the return of the Tang Army.
They were tortured under the hands of the Tubo people, and now they finally saw the army of the Tang Dynasty again, and the excitement in their hearts was naturally inevitable, and the young people of Chang'an behind Shen Long stepped forward to support these veterans after hearing this, asking about their identities, and they also wanted to know if there were any relatives of their own.
Shen Long didn't bother them, seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but remember that he saw a poem when he was consulting the information, so he slowly recited:
“…… The young man followed his father to Anxi, and he didn't see it. Tianbao has not been chaotic for several years, and the four corners of the wolf star are vigorous. The Central Plains is in danger of border defense, and there are jackals coming to cut it down. The fat of the horses is upright, and the flesh of the soldiers is full of contention. The smoke and dust were chaotic, and the coach was shocked and abandoned. In the middle of the night, the city destroyed geese and geese, and the wives and sons cried non-stop. The gloomy temple did not dare to follow, and the brittle river ice was safe. The depths of the thorns are diving, and the front is trapped by the thistles and the back. Pingming Fan rode on all sides, and the ancient tombs were deep in the forest. The young man was taken as a captive, and the old man stayed for a long time. The black kites are full of wild corpses, and the buildings are abrupt with gray walls. The dark water splashes into the old pool, and the flat sand spreads with the bright moon. King Rong sent the future to comfort, but he didn't dare to be aggressive. For the armpits and armpits, it is not expected that the dome will pick up the fat chest. Twenty or thirty years have been unannounced, and the Middle League is rampant again. The eyes are piercing the east and looking at Yaoyun, and the intestines are broken and combing the hair. In recent years, those who have been thinking about Han like this are half old and sick and half buried. I often teach my grandson to learn the local pronunciation, and I still talk about the good city ......"
Hearing Shen Long's chanting, these veterans quieted down one after another, listened quietly, listened and listened, tears flowed uncontrollably again, and they felt as if this poem had been written specifically for them.
When Shen Long finished reading the last sentence, the veterans asked in a loud voice, "Shou Caught, what is the name of this poem?" ”
"The Bound Man!" Shen Long replied.
