(Foreword)
Cold ice can't break the water, and dead wood can meet spring again.
(Text)
"Cheng Shaoxia, I understand the loyalty and courage of Shaoxia, needless to say, I ordered you to lead 50,000 troops to attack the !! of Eastern Wu" Liu Bei said.
"Your Majesty..."Wu Ban suddenly wanted to say something, but was stopped by Liu Bei with a gesture.
"I don't want to say anything, you don't need to say more!" Liu Bei's tone of voice was very decisive.
"Your Majesty, the last general doesn't want to stop it, but hopes that Your Majesty will still send the last general to assist Cheng Shaoxia." I looked at General Wu Ban and felt a kind of trust in my heart.
"Okay, I will order you to lead 30,000 troops to help the young heroes attack Eastern Wu." Liu Bei patted General Wu Ban on the shoulder hard.
"Your Majesty, thank you." Wu Ban got up and took the military token in Liu Xuande's hand.
At this point, the 80,000-strong army has assembled and set off, and the second call for troops is ready to go!
Leaving the military tent, I looked at the military token in my hand, and a sense of responsibility came to my heart, at this time I suddenly felt that I was not just for the sake of unraveling Mr. Ouyang Yu's strange array, but also for the sake of Shu and for a kind of trust.
"Report !!" A fast horse galloped through the army. Finally, it stopped in front of me and General Wu Ban. "Tell the vanguard general, and go ahead to report to the Malays." The soldier looked at me as he spoke.
"Cheng Shaoxia led the troops to battle, what is the important matter, but it doesn't hurt to say it." General Wu Ban's words dispelled the soldier's doubts.
"Yes, general, the report from the front is that the Wu army has gathered 100,000 troops and is stationed at Yiling Pass, the place where Yidao must pass----." After the soldier finished speaking, Wu Ban's face was heavy.
An army of 100,000 people, protected by the city gates, how could it be easily attacked. If the Wu army still can't hold out, our army can only return in vain, but how should we face the oath made at that time?
That's not right... I suddenly thought of something, turned around and asked Lin Yun softly: "Lin Yun, I only know that there is a Tongguan between Chang'an and Luoyang, but I have never heard of any Yiling Pass, can there be such a pass in the book?" ”
"Nope. There is never any mention of this city. Lin Yun also looked very confused.
It turned out that this was the case, and my expression suddenly stopped being solemn, but I felt some joy.
"Great!" Fortunately, General Wu Ban was still learning about the military in front with the soldier, and he didn't care about my expression.
"What's the matter, classmate Cheng Yin, Wu has gathered an army of 100,000, how can you still be so happy?" Professor Wu asked puzzled.
"Professor Wu, I'm not happy for the 100,000 troops of Eastern Wu, but for the city they are stationing." I don't speak in a low tone anymore.
"Garrison...... The city that was guarded...... There are ...... in Chengguan What's so special about it...... A special place? Hu Zaide looked at me.
"Lin Yun said that there is no such city pass in the book, which means that this city pass is specially made for this strange array." They still didn't seem to understand what I was saying, "That is, we are standing on the curve that unravels the strange array at this time." ”
"So we made the right choice!" Professor Twie said happily.
"That's right, I think we can get out of here if we win this fight." I hope my speculation is correct.
There was a happy expression on our faces, and after Wu Ban finished talking to the soldier, he turned around and looked at us solemnly, but suddenly turned into a surprised expression: "Everyone, the Wu army is stationed, why do you look so leisurely?" ”
"General Wu, don't be surprised, we just thought of some countermeasures." I put a smile away from my face as I spoke.
"Young Heroes already have a good plan?" General Wu's frowning brow soothed a lot.
"Maybe, but we are still discussing the specifics, and I believe that we will be able to defeat Soochow this time." I'm a lot more confident when I speak.
"Cheng Shaoxia, no, Cheng General, the army is assembled, when will it leave?" General Wu Ban said respectfully.
"The soldiers are fast, set off immediately!!" I pointed the military token in my hand into the distance.
"Yes! I'm going to prepare for the departure of the army. After General Wu Ban finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Let's go and compete with Lu Xun of Soochow again, and the mysterious cloak man.
Suddenly, I saw a handsome flag appear in the middle of the army, which was not surprising, but what was written on that handsome flag was actually a big letter.
General Wu stood in front of the army, the soldiers separated on both sides, and we walked to General Wu's side from the middle. Wu Ban did not speak, and raised his right hand.
"General Cheng!! General Cheng!! General Cheng!! ”
The soldiers waved their blades and shouted. I've never seen anything like it.
The general of an army, the commander of ten thousand generals.
I didn't know what to say at this point, but the soldiers stopped shouting and looked at me.
"Everyone... Soldiers, below..."I couldn't help but get nervous, even if I stood in front of the whole school teachers and students to give a speech, my heart would beat hard, not to mention that in the face of tens of thousands of soldiers, I gestured to Wu Ban.
"General, please." Wu Ban whispered.
"General!! Checkmate!!! Checkmate!!! The soldiers began to shout again.
"Everyone, you are not talented, you can take this heavy responsibility, but since you have received the order, you should do your best, and you dare not slack off, all the generals are the pillars of Shuzhong, and the teacher is here. Today, I swear with all the generals that I will fight with all my might, and I also ask you to help me attack Soochow. "I looked at each soldier sincerely, and the soldiers in front of me at this time were no longer just holographic images in my heart, but real existences, no different from me.
"All the generals help me to attack Dongwu!" I took out my heavy iron sword and pointed in the direction of the expedition.
"I'm willing to follow the general!!"
"I'm willing to follow the general!!"
"I'm willing to follow the general!!"
The voices of the soldiers resounded in the sky.
I looked at the blue sky and smiled shallowly, I didn't know what the outcome of this battle would be, but anyway, this choice was what I wanted in my heart.
The army began to move slowly, but the scene around us changed rapidly, and we knew that a huge city gate appeared in front of us.
This pass is amazingly large, the continuous city wall is not only towering into the sky, but also can not see the edge, it is difficult to imagine such a strong city wall plus 100,000 male soldiers garrisoned, and there is a genius like Lu Xun, thinking of how easy it is to win.
The Wu army was stationed not far from the city pass, and I personally walked into the Yiling Pass to check, and the enemy soldiers standing on the towering city wall were guarding the pass, like iron and stone, not moving at all.
I returned to the barracks and was silent alone, and Professor Wu and they finally found me.
"Cheng Yin, what's wrong, you've been depressed since you checked the enemy's city pass, what's going on?" Professor Wu asked with concern.
"The enemy's walls are like natural barriers, they are simply invulnerable...", my heart was troubled.
"We can't make siege machines like we did before, and this wall will be just an ornament, not to be feared." Professor Twie said.
"The words are good, but we have relied too much on machinery before, which led to the defeat of our army, and the current war must not repeat the mistakes of the past, otherwise it will damage the morale of the army." The scene of that battle came to my mind.
"So what do we do?" Although Lin Yun was familiar with the history books, he couldn't help at all until now, after all, this battle was only designed by Mr. Ouyang Yu himself.
Just when we were at a loss, General Wu Ban came over.
"General Cheng, the last general..." Wu Ban was stopped by me before he could finish speaking.
"General Wu, what do you mean at this time? You are the vanguard general of Shu Kingdom, and the title of general under you is just a false name, how can you call yourself the last general in front of me. How can I afford it? I said earnestly.
"General Cheng, if you hadn't saved the life of the last general with the tiger shield at that time, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have the chance to call myself the last general. You don't have to fight me about it. "Wu Ban's words are sincere, so I can't refuse.
"Since this is the case, there is no competition in the next, I don't know what the general is important?" I'm down to business.
"The last general came to ask the general for battle." Wu Ban said respectfully.
"Please? When does the general plan to go to war? "I was a little confused.
"Tomorrow, the last general has prepared everything, and he is willing to take the lead for the general!!" Wu Ban's tone was resolute, and there was no room for me to refuse.
"General Wu, are you sure?" I asked.
"No, but I want to fight!" I was deeply touched by Wu Ban's determination.
"Since the general has made up his mind, I won't say anything more, and I hope the general will triumph." I don't know why, tears can't help but slide down my cheeks.
The next morning, the drums beat loudly.
Wu Ban, wearing an armored helmet and holding a 'gale broadsword', led 30,000 elite soldiers out of the barracks. Professor Wu and I went with 5,000 elite horsemen to help.
Wu Ban is worthy of being a pioneer general, he has been prepared for a long time, and the catapults for the siege have also been assembled. It seems that this battle will just wait and see.
The army advanced to the enemy's city and stopped, only to see a person on the city wall holding a folding fan, staring at Wu Ban's mighty army.
Without the slightest hesitation, Wu Ban ordered the drumming to march into the army.
The Great War is on the verge of breaking out!!
