Although it was already July, the weather was still a little hot, and the soldiers who had gathered on the school field were neatly dressed and hated, and they did not relax at all despite the sweat on their faces.

Liu Meibao took Lu Fang's hand and felt that the child's palms were wet.

"Small boat, are you afraid?" She paused, looked at Lu Fang and asked.

Lu Fang was also wearing a neat Xia military uniform and a helmet, his face became smaller and smaller, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and his breathing was a little rapid.

"Don't be afraid." He said loudly, "Dad said that if Dad is gone, I will protect my mother, sister and brother." ”

"And me." The iron spoon stood up from behind, and he was also dressed like Lu Fang, because he was older than Lu Fang, and his size was also bigger than Lu Fang, and he was holding a wooden stick in his hand, which looked a little bit like that.

"Okay." Liu Meibao stretched out her hand to help Lu Fang tie the red scarf around her neck, nodded and said, "Daddy is gone, so you have to take responsibility for Daddy." ”

Liu Meibao said this, stretched out her hand and pointed outside, where the entire school field had gathered four square teams, and the generals in front of the queue were also standing.

"These people are the responsibility of your father." She said.

Although Lu Fang didn't understand what this responsibility was, he still nodded solemnly.

"Mother, I will personally pick up my father and come back." He said loudly, his hand hanging at his side clenched into a fist.

Liu Meibao shook her head.

"You don't have to go, you have more important things to do." She stood up and pulled Lu Fang and walked slowly towards the school grounds, "You are going to replace your father now, let everyone watch, our Lu family will not fall, and our Shanxi will not be chaotic." ”

Looking at Liu Meibao, who appeared on the stage wearing a life uniform, and then looked at the child she was holding in her hand, the school field instantly quieted down, and even the crowd around held their breath.

Although Lu Fang followed Lu Yan in and out of the army, this was the first time he had this kind of scene of ordering troops on the school field. Standing on the stage and looking at the soldiers standing solemnly below, even adults can't help but have stage fright, not to mention that he is a child under the age of eight.

Lu Fang looked at the audience and couldn't help biting his lower lip.

"Xiaochuan, how did Mr. Wang teach you?" Liu Meibao whispered to him, squeezing his hand, "Tell them." ”

"Boat, go. Tell them. Iron Spoon said with a grin, holding the stick in front of him, posing as a big horse horizontal knife, and I don't know where I learned it.

Lu Fang nodded, let go of Liu Meibao's hand, and slowly stood up a few steps.

"My daddy's side is in danger." He said loudly, his voice trembling visibly, but it didn't stop," . . . It's nothing, as long as the Tartars are in a day. It's going to happen to all of us...."

Wang Mo stood under the stage and looked at Lu Fang. With praise on his face, it was difficult for this child to memorize these words in a short time, although there were a few words that were forgotten, but this was already beyond Wang Mo's expectations.

“… My father is here, we are defending the country, my father is not here, we are also defending the country. I'm still young, so I can't go into battle to kill the enemy myself this time, but I left everyone behind to defend the city together. To save my father, there are soldiers who went out to fight..."

"Only kill all those Tartars, all of us, my lord... And children.. And the children's children, so that there will be no danger .."

"....We kill the enemy, even if there is the last person left, we must kill the enemy, let those Tartars know that we are not afraid, so that they do not dare to invade us a step..."

Accompanied by the crisp trembling children's voices, the school field slowly sounded one after another killing enemies.

The sound became louder and louder, wave after wave, and all the soldiers waved their weapons in their hands, hoarsely.

They were not afraid, they were not afraid, they are now, and they will always be.

"Kill!"

With this roar, the soldiers who leaped out of the gap in the earthen wall seemed to line up in three lines in an instant, each holding their guns sideways and stabbing out in unison in front of the rushing Tartars.

The screams and the clash of weapons and iron armor sounded in another wave.

By this time, everyone had already killed the red eyes, and in the face of the enemy who wielded all kinds of weapons, the team was still firmly maintained, they seemed to see the enemy, and they didn't seem to see it, they didn't dodge, they didn't dodge, they didn't dodge, they just kept raising their guns and stabbing out, all they wanted was to be faster and more accurate than the other party at the moment of the battle.

This is enough to decide life and death on the battlefield.

Looking at the people who kept falling, the Tartars could not hide their fear, they had long known that it was the Shanxi soldiers who were fighting, and they had already studied the tactics and habits of the Shanxi soldiers in detail, and knew that these Shanxi soldiers were fierce and timid.

Fierce is on the battlefield, never afraid of death, timid is knowing a group of people to assassinate, and never real knives and guns everyone fights back and forth.

It's hateful and there's nothing you can do.

In the blink of an eye, the Tartars that had rushed to the earthen wall had fallen in one piece, as did the rest of the place.

In the end, everyone was stabbing hard, both sides were spears and halberds, row by row, viciously lined up and fought, spears stabbed each other, by this time there was no skill, and the fight was life.

Seeing that more than half of the people had been lost in the blink of an eye, the attacking Tartars hesitated and became afraid, and quickly fled with a wild scream.

Lu Yan was not surprised by this, their army had also studied the habits of the Tartars and knew their ability to bear casualties.

The wave of Tartar attacks subsided, Lu Yan's side had no energy to clean up the battlefield, the dead were discarded, the seriously injured could not be treated, the lightly injured were bandaged indiscriminately, and the soldiers who were lucky enough to be uninjured sat on the ground to breathe a sigh of relief, and the air was full of blood.

"The count has been counted, and this time there are another hundred casualties." A general came to report.

Lu Yan stood still, looking at the field, from here you can faintly see the dense phalanx of Tartars over there, it is said that there are 10,000 people.

"My lord, we have 9,000 soldiers in Shanxi, and there are 5,000 soldiers here after the division of troops, and so far more than 1,000 have been killed, more than 400 seriously injured, and more than 600 lightly injured..."

With such a high casualty, other armies were already disabled and had no power to parry, but relying on the long-term combat training and severe rewards, the Shanxi soldiers continued to fight, and there was no collapse and flight of the soldiers.

"General, it's been six days, and there are still no reinforcements." A general with a wound on his arm said suddenly, he couldn't help but kneel down on one knee, "General, let's retreat, the sentinel has also found out, the defense of the Tartars in the west is weak, with the strength of my Shanxi soldiers, I will definitely be able to protect the general to break through..."

Before his words fell, he was cut off by Lu Yan.

"It's looking for death!" He looked at the man and said loudly, "It is precisely because we are outnumbered that we have to hold on even more. ”

As he said this, his gaze turned out again.

"There may be a glimmer of life in the defense, and if you retreat, you will be wiped out." He said word by word.

Once the order is given to retreat, then in the face of such a Tartar's pursuit, even if he presses the formation, it will inevitably end up in a collapse.

"General, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has harmed me..."The general finally broke down and cried on the ground.

This time they would not have fallen into this situation, but they did not expect that the first Dadu Governor divided the troops, and everyone knew that they were powerful in Shanxi, so they scrambled for half of this, and then somehow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to boost morale on a whim, and left Beijing to Sanping Prefecture, although it was still far from the battlefield, but it did not prevent the prince from being interested in coming to the front of the battle, and he personally formulated a plan to resist the enemy and meet the enemy and conveyed it to everyone in front of the battle.

At that time, Lu Yan did not agree with the prince's plan, but His Royal Highness the prince was very unhappy, saying that Lu Yan was avoiding the enemy and cowardly, so Lu Yan had to take orders to act, and as a result, he fell into the siege of the Tartars.

Lu Yan looked at the wilderness with a blank expression.

At this time, outside Sanping Prefecture, which is outside the three cities here, there is a dense large army pulling out the camp, and the movements are a little flustered, as if they are in a hurry to escape and pull out the camp.

A group of men and horses rushed out of this group of soldiers who pulled out the camp.

"Zhang Shoubei, what are you going to do?" The group of people was quickly stopped, and a middle-aged man about forty years old with a white face and beard who rushed over after hearing the news asked with a blue face.

The immediate guard was Zhang Shun, and he was also blue-skinned at this time.

"What are you going to do? Go to Dingzhou! He shouted.

"Zhang Shun, the governor of the capital has an order, and he ordered the division of troops here, and he dares to leave without permission!" The middle-aged person's face trembled and shouted, "Is there any military law in your eyes?" I don't want to do this garrison anymore..."

Before his words fell, Zhang Shun raised his hand and threw a whip.

"the girl!" He cursed, and the prancing horse galloped wildly, almost stepping the middle-aged man under the horse.

No less than 4,000 soldiers followed him closely, and none of the soldiers dared to come out to stop him, and watched them go.

"It's the other way around.." When the news reached the camp, the military department Shangshu, the brother-in-law of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the metropolitan governor Liang Liang, who was in command of the personal expedition, trembled with courage.

"That's Lu Yan's soldier, naturally he won't listen to you." In July, the prince sat beside him wrapped in a cloak, and said in a deep voice.

Liang Yong suddenly stopped talking.

"Are there really 10,000 Tartars?" The prince suddenly asked again.

Liang Yong nodded, and the ten thousand people reminded him of the important things in front of him.

"Your Highness, although there are three cities in front of you to block it, it is better for Your Highness's golden body to quickly return to the capital, so as not to worry about the saint." He said respectfully.

But the prince did not seem to hear him.

"Then Lu Yan isn't this time...."He couldn't help muttering, his face was cloudy, "How bad is the luck?" ”

The thought came to mind, and there was a hint of joy in the panic that the Tartars might be driven by for a long time.
