Volume 1 The Fire Mage Who Knows Martial Arts Chapter 56 The gray hair is pale and life and death are light
The southern gate of the imperial capital has never been opened, and the city wall is tall and majestic, and the city gate is majestic.
Tens of thousands of barbarian horsemen surrounded them from all sides, trapping the black spearmen in a huge encirclement.
Seeing that this small army was so strong and iron-blooded, the barbarian Khan became fond of talent and found a messenger to persuade him to surrender.
The envoy was led to the center of the black spear array, and he said to Wang Liangqin in a daze, to the effect that the Northern Zhou Dynasty was almost over, and the peoples on the grassland were about to dominate the world.
Wang Liangqin said expressionlessly: "I saved a woman who was ravaged by your people, and her husband and two children were cut into several pieces. Later, she hanged herself twice, the first time I saved her, the second time I hanged myself and I didn't save her, I watched her slowly struggle and slowly swallow her breath until she stopped struggling, what a stupid woman. β
"We Tu people are fighting desperately for money, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty is willing to give money, so we are also willing to work hard, you come to give me a bigger official and more money, but I am used to being an official of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and I am used to taking the money of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and I am not used to turning my head to take your money stained with baby blood, I think I am also a stupid woman. β
"Look down on us, right, there must be a lot of things you surrender to first, and when you get to the back, the people in line are going to surrender, and we have to consider whether to accept it or not. The messenger said arrogantly.
"I can afford pigs and dogs, but I look down on barbarians like you, and I despise and spit on your devilish souls, get out!"
The barbarian envoy walked out of the gun formation with his head held high, and the warriors of the immortal sky were afraid of whom.
Waiting for the barbarian envoy to leave, Shi Keqi, who was standing beside Wang Liangqin, said: "General Wang, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. β
"Say!"
"Just now, you can discuss with the barbarian envoy to withdraw the troops without interfering with each other, and then fight again. β
"Get out of here, it's not your turn to call the shots. β
"At least tell me a reason, a reason to let so many people accompany you to your death. Shi Keqi said.
Wang Liangqin squinted slightly, staring fiercely at the young man in front of her, many years ago, there was also someone who persuaded her to be stubborn like this.
She sighed and said, "Young man, letting you stand by my side is a reward for your assassination of the Barbarian Khan, don't think that you can be on an equal footing with me now, and even dare to dissuade me from interfering in the affairs of the Turkish army." β
Wang Liangqin felt that his tone was a little too heavy, and said slowly: "I don't have much time, let's talk about my teacher, he is a talent who is about to starve to death that his father picked up from outside the mountain." He's so weak, he doesn't have any effort, and any one person in the clan can defeat him, but I don't think anyone in the clan can compare to him. β
He talked about benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, and filial piety, and said that a person can die for a promise and a belief, which is called martyrdom...... Many people laugh at him, but I believe that one raises like that...... The country of a man like him who is different will not be worse than a barbarian. β
He said that the army of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was becoming more and more corrupt and declining day by day, and if one day the country was destroyed, he hoped that I could help, even though the country was not friendly to him. β
"I said what can I do as a little girl of the Turkish tribe?"
"The teacher said------ you can be the leader, and you can train the strongest soldier in the world. β
"How?"
"I'll teach you. β
So there was the famous black spearman. When talking about Xiucai, the corners of her wrinkled eyes glowed with a strange light, like an innocent and pure light like a girl.
"There is another reason, if I die in battle, the court will send more money to comfort the clansmen, these things that buy people's hearts will be rushed by the court to do, they need people like me to die, it should be enough for the clansmen to live a good life for a lifetime. β
"There are still young people in the village who can guard them, which is why there are no more than eight thousand black spearmen, do you know, how poor is the mountain that can't even be cultivated, starvation is a common thing, fighting and dying can change a better life for your relatives, or do you raise them?" Wang Liangqin said slightly sarcastically.
"The traitorous ministers are in charge, and the other armies turn their backs on their faith and run away to meet the enemy alone, and you can rebel. Shi Keqi couldn't help but say a big rebellious sentence that had been held in his heart for a long time.
"I rebelled? There is no logistics, there is no population, and the most important thing is that there are no people in the world who are not living well, how can you be so naΓ―ve! I hope that when I die, I can become a person like him, he was poor and penniless during his lifetime, and he always said that he would educate the barbarians and let the light of civilization illuminate the barbarian territory. β
"He did, at least to teach a student like me. He can be martyred for his faith, and I can be martyred for him, even decades later. β
"I'm sorry, I can ask, how did your teacher die?"
Wang Liangqin smiled, the wrinkles on her face piled up, and there seemed to be some kind of inexplicable light shining in the sun, she said: "People always have to die, birth, old age, sickness and death are just a cycle of life and death, why is death so important?"
"Go away, young man, go find your people and trusted comrades, live or die, the Tu people are not the brothers of your Dahan clan. Wang Liangqin became fierce, and her white hair seemed to stand up.
Shi Keqi seemed to see in her a wise man who was transparent to human nature, a brave man who was fearless.
The rain of arrows had little effect, and many of the brutes gathered their bows and arrows, drew their sabers and prepared to charge into battle.
At this time, an old voice sounded: "My people, shout to me------ strong enemy is coming, do you hide your face and flee, or do you face the attack?"
The voices of a group of untidy men sounded: "A strong enemy is coming, do you hide your face and flee, or do you face it!"
"The fire burns the city, whether it is to cry in a hurry, or to step on the sea of fire. β
"Burning the city, is it a haste to cry, or to step on the sea of fire!" At this sentence, the black spearmen slowly followed the rhythm, and their shouts became neat.
"The Great Wall collapsed, the rivers evaporated, and the anger of heaven and earth was unstoppable. β
"The Great Wall has collapsed, the great river has evaporated, and the anger of heaven and earth is unstoppable!" Some soldiers shed tears as they read it, knowing that the old man had lost his eldest son not long ago, and the younger son in the team would not be spared after the battle, plus the dead husband. All the men in her family will die, leaving only two daughters-in-law and granddaughters.
"Don't do anything and make it happen. β
"Don't do it, you should die to redeem it!"
"Death!"
"Death!"
Many soldiers wept and charged with his gray-haired woman, the ranks were neat and orderly, and the most powerful army of the Turks took the initiative to attack the first cavalry in the world. Countless troops, countless proud soldiers will collapse, flee, cry, and beg for mercy in the strong bows and scimitars of these brute horses.
Only this army that came out of the mountains dressed in rustic style, endured the pain of incompetent betrayal by friendly soldiers, endured the wounds of the death of the whole family, and died generously with the light of loyalty and bravery, with the light of pride and glory.
No one in the world is more like an army than them, no one is more like a man than them.
The fight of less than 8,000 black lancers made tens of thousands of barbarian cavalry retreat again and again, and they could barely bear the losses and retreated. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Great Khan of the barbarians beheaded three thousand commanders in a row before he could stabilize the signs of their retreat.
"Immortal Heaven above, see how its brave servants defeat the bravest of enemies, warriors, give your lives. The barbarian Khan swung his knife to cut off the tail finger of his left hand, sprinkled blood on the knife, raised the blood-dripping scimitar and shouted hoarsely: "Blood sacrifice immortality!"
Seeing the act of self-mutilation of the Great Khan, the natural ferocity of the brute riders was stimulated, and their eyes were bloodshot, and they regained the courage to fight again.
By the time the last warrior fell, the frantically attacking black spearmen had killed more than 13,000 horsemen, almost twice their own number, and no infantry in the world could have achieved such a brilliant feat.
On this day, dark clouds suddenly obscured the sun without warning, and the heavens seemed to be unbearable to see this scene.
A young Turkish warrior with his legs broken at his knees, gasping for breath with difficulty, he was on the verge of dying, his consciousness was gradually blurred, he called out to his mother in the native language, as if returning to his childhood lying on the hospital bed.
A man walked up, not like his mother's figure, no, he shouted vaguely, and then a knife slit his throat.
One of the barbarian commanders was shocked and said: "Great Khan, this group of people is a real warrior, our clan has always respected warriors, or bury them according to the customs of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to show respect."
Meaning. β
"No, cut off everyone's heads and pile them up, so that the Northern Zhou people can take a good look at the fate of opposing us, the head of their leader, that old immortal ......" The Great Khan gritted his teeth
Tooth said: "Wrap up her head and send it to Zhenyin Temple, so that her soul will never be reborn." β
When the black spearmen were forced to retreat, Shi Keqi rode alone and ran in the opposite way, killing several people who blocked him, and then broke through. Tears flooded his face, and even if he commanded the incomparably powerful Wyvern Iron Rider in the future, he often remembered this scene and burst into tears.
He finally understood what it meant to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, and what it meant to see death as home.
Xiaolan got out of the bag and stuck out her tongue to lick Shi Keqi's face, a bitter taste. It tilted its head, not understanding why its owner was crying, why the tears were so bitter, because it was too small, it didn't quite understand the meaning of tears, even though it wept.
......
In the summer of the fifteenth year of Wude, the world was shaken, and the black spearmen killed nearly twice the number of barbarian horsemen with a mortal heart, and under the vigorous propaganda of the ruler, in less than a month, even the hunters who lived in the deep mountains and old forests knew about it, and the well-informed people knew it all within a few days.
But in the door of a poetry and book heirloom, a silver-haired old man sighed: "The backbone of a country has been broken like this, and the leper dog with soft bones has fled, and the body of the once glorious Dahan tribe has been reduced to the point of needing the support of the Tu people? β
The old man shook his head and drank a glass of wine, and the residual lamp was like a bean, and black filled the sky, threatening the earth.
There is also a piece of news that has been selectively forgotten by the government, that is, the hero's head will be taken to Zhenyin Temple.
