Chapter 451: Brave Banner
In troubled times, everyone knows the cruelty of war. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But seeing it with your own eyes is a different story. As soon as the war broke out, it consumed not only ten thousand taels of gold, but also countless lives.
Ay!
Seeing the barbarian army retreating, Xiao Qitian was still relieved, but he didn't know that there was a burst of golden drum thunder, and the other party broke out with a shocking shout, and in an instant, he rushed up desperately.
"What's going on?" Xiao Qitian frowned.
"Chitose, the barbarian commander has arrived. One of the generals had a gloomy face and pointed into the distance. Xiao Qitian used his eyes to look in the direction pointed by the general, but saw that in the enemy camp, a general wearing armor rode a divine horse, watching the battle under the city from afar.
"But does this work?" Xiao Qitian asked.
"It's not effective for the time being, at most both sides will lose. Some generals shook their heads.
"In fact, now that Yanping Pass has fallen and Jingmen has been lost, the other party can take this as the foundation, step by step, hold the fortress of our army, the waterway exit, and then surround Weicheng, and it is impossible to enter and exit. When our food and grass are cut off and there are no reinforcements outside, Weicheng will definitely fall into their hands without blood. "There is a general's analysis, and his face is heavy.
"With such a foolproof strategy, why is the other party attacking at this time?" Xiao Qitian asked.
"It should take too long. The commander of the barbarian army is an extremely conceited figure who likes to fight quickly. It is rumored that he once said that he would break the city within three days. "There are generals who say.
"Three days?" Xiao Qitian was shocked when he heard this, thinking that he had to get out as soon as possible.
At this time, the drums fought, and the shouts of killing were deafening.
The bloody battle begins again.
In this battle, the sun and the moon were also killed, and the boulder arrows flew all over the sky, not that people fell, and from time to time people were torn to pieces in the war.
In this battle, both the Great Yan and the Barbarians suffered heavy casualties.
The whole land was covered with mountains of bones and blood, and even the gray walls were dyed a shocking red. Dusk comes, the remnant sun sinks, the yin wind howls, and on the earth, the smoke of gunpowder is filled, the halberd sinks into the sand, and it is desolate.
It wasn't until the Great Yan army killed an important general of the other side that the big war finally stopped for a short time.
In Weicheng, there was a thunderous roar of joy. Commanders, soldiers and civilians all threw a feast to celebrate this short-won victory.
Xiao Qitian was also at the banquet, but he didn't seem to be in high spirits and lost his soul.
He stared at the wine in his hand.
As soon as he closed his eyes, snow-colored faces appeared in his mind. Those men struggled in the war, covered in blood, and howled terribly, only to never return.
"Why? Why is there a war? Why is there so much blood? Can't people live in peace with each other?" Xiao Qitian pondered, his heart empty.
"I'm tired, go back and get some rest. He greeted the generals, then suddenly stood up and walked out in a slumber manner. The generals were stunned, but no one stopped him, nor did they dare to stop him, and soon he sank into a bitter drink.
On the deserted street, Xiao Qitian wandered alone, aimless, and didn't know where to go.
It wasn't until the footsteps of the guards patrolling not far away that he woke up suddenly, only to find that he had come to the gate of the city before he knew it.
Opportunity!
Xiao Qitian realized that his opportunity to ask for the identity of the fake prince had come.
At this time, Dayan's generals were drinking happily and venting the depression in their hearts, there were only some patrolling guards left at the city gate, who would dare to stop him if he wanted to leave?
In fact, even if those generals are there, no one will dare to stop him if he wants to leave, but they will send people to follow him away and protect him closely.
But do you want to leave?
Xiao Qitian is just a country people, he is poor and happy, and he has all the characteristics of a country people.
He was afraid of death, and he was afraid of war. Especially after seeing the tragedy of the war with his own eyes today, he is even more respectful of the war.
There was only a moment's flicker of struggle in his eyes, and he strode out of the city gates.
It went well!
Xiao Qitian walked out of the city gate smoothly.
The guards only dared to salute him, and did not dare to interrogate him, let alone stop him.
As soon as his back left the sight of those guards, Xiao Qitian quickened his pace and left the place of right and wrong overnight.
This walk was a night, but because there were barbarian spies everywhere, Xiao Qitian walked cautiously, and he only walked about twenty miles.
The sun is rising, the sun is shining, the golden drum is thundering, and the flag is fluttering.
A barbarian soldier wearing armor and a solemn expression surrounded a high platform, which was the barbarian commander swearing an oath:
"The alliance of the Western Regions, is there a battle that cannot be won?"
"Nope!"
"Da Yan occupies the abundant Kyushu, but let us shrink in the barren land of the Western Regions, can we tolerate it?"
"Can't!"
"They occupy a dangerous position, easy to defend and difficult to attack, are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!"
"So what are you going to do?"
"Smash their tortoise shells, kill them without leaving a single piece of armor, eat their flesh, drink their blood!"
"Eat their flesh and drink their blood!"
......
A neat, majestic, and murderous slogan sounded, shaking the heavens and the earth. Even if he was more than ten miles away, Xiao Qitian couldn't help but be suffocated, almost out of breath.
At the moment, Xiao Qitian walked even faster, and he just wanted to stay away from this place of right and wrong immediately.
Not far away, there is a mountain forest. Xiao Qitian had just entered it, and suddenly, a miserable scream came, accompanied by an angry roar: "You!!"
Xiao Qitian was startled and hurriedly hid his figure. Yu Guang glanced ahead, and he saw two generals dressed in Great Yan Army armor. One of them was holding a dagger and stabbing the other in the heart.
The other had blood gushing from his mouth and was looking at the man in front of him angrily: "Why?"
"Why? Of course, I won't let you go back and tell me that King Pingxi is dead. The other man sneered.
"But what's in it for you?"
"Benefits?" The other man sneered again and shook his head: "Forget it, I'll let you die clearly." He suddenly muttered a few words that Xiao Qitian didn't understand.
The other man's face changed drastically: "Western Regions, you know Western Regions, you are a barbarian of the Western Regions?"
"Barbarians, hehe, hey, when we fight the Great Flame, I won't be a barbarian. The other man smiled, "But now, I'm a barbarian." I was originally from Loulan, and when I was very young, I was ordered by the king of Loulan to infiltrate Dayan as a spy, but unfortunately the king has only started to use troops against Dayan now, causing me to be idle for many years, and I am almost useless. ”
"In this way, the whereabouts of King Pingxi were also revealed by you?"
"That's right. King Pingxi is indeed a character with unparalleled intelligence, if I hadn't exposed his whereabouts, do you think he would have fallen into a trap and died?"
"What about the fake prince?
"Not really. That fake was just happened to be at the same time, and was touched by Da Yan's generals, who mistakenly thought it was the king of Pingxi. ”
"Actually, at first even I thought that King Pingxi was not dead, but later after some investigation, I found out that it was just a country man. I see that he is stupid and doesn't understand anything, so I have to pretend to him, otherwise, I would have killed him in secret, hey!"
"I'm sure that sooner or later that fake will come out of the moth. Even if there is no moth, but when the two armies are handed over and it is difficult to separate, if I suddenly reveal his identity in front of the battle, do you think it will have an impact on the morale of Da Yan? Will it be ten times more powerful than they learned about the death of King Pingxi earlier? At that time, the Weicheng Fortress must be in the pocket of my Western Regions Alliance. At that time, we will be able to hold the lifeblood of the Great Yan, and the bullshit Great Yan Celestial Empire will not be far from extinction. The barbarian spy was very proud and laughed.
Xiao Qitian was in the dark, trembling all over when he heard it, and his heart was like numbness: "If this is the case, didn't those soldiers die in vain before......?
Suddenly, there was an exclamation, "What are you doing?" from the barbarian spy.
Xiao Qitian came back to his senses, but saw that General Dayan was holding the barbarian spy to death, no matter how the barbarian spy struggled and how he slapped it, he wouldn't let go.
But General Wen Dayan shouted weakly: "That friend in the shadows, you have listened to it for so long, you should understand the origin of the whole thing. Hurry up, come over and kill this barbarian spy, and then send the news back to the Great Yan Military Headquarters. The lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Weicheng, as well as the fate of the Great Yan Heavenly Empire, are in your hands. ”
The barbarian spy was shocked.
Xiao Qitian only hesitated for a moment, and then walked out quickly.
Because he knew that the left and right had been exposed, and if he didn't come out and kill the barbarian spies, he would not be far from death when the Great Yan General was dead.
There is no way that the barbarian spy will let him go. Nor could he have escaped at the hands of a barbarian spy.
He hadn't killed anyone, but the war he saw yesterday had also tempered his mind. He picked up the sword of the Great Yan general, and although he trembled a little, he did not hesitate at all, and stabbed straight at the barbarian spy, passing through the latter's vest.
Yes!
The screams were heard, and it was only then that the barbarian spies could turn around, because the general of the Great Flame was already dead. The latter didn't even say a word to Xiao Qitian, nor did he see Xiao Qitian's appearance clearly.
"It's you!" the barbarian spy spat blood, and suddenly laughed, and the laughter was filled with endless self-deprecation: "I can't imagine that I ended up dying at the hands of a country people." ”
"But so what?" he said, "so you've escaped." The dragons of the Great Flame are leaderless, and the army's hearts are set into a pot, Weicheng is not far from falling into our hands!"
"Hahaha!" he laughed, suddenly dying.
"Is that so?" Xiao Qitian's chest rose and fell, and one picture after another appeared in his mind, in those pictures, there were old people, children, women and children, and sergeants, they were leaderless, and they were in a mess. The enemy's iron cavalry passed everywhere, and the corpses of Weicheng were all over the field, which was so miserable.
"No! I won't allow it!" he shouted, and suddenly made a decision, he mounted the horse of the Great Yan general, and galloped quickly towards Weicheng. When I came, I walked all night, and when I came back, it took less than half an hour.
At this time, the barbarian army had just completed its oath and was about to march to the city. Seeing a horse galloping, the spy who suspected to be Da Yan pulled out his strong bow and shot.
Even though the horses were fast, and then the arrows rained down like locusts, it was impossible to dodge all the arrows. Soon, the horse was shot dead by the arrow, and even Xiao Qitian was scratched by the arrow and fell off the horse.
Fortunately, at this time, he had already arrived at the gate of Weicheng. The sergeant at the city gate hurriedly opened the city gate and pulled Xiao Qitian inside.
The generals of Weicheng were overjoyed and greeted them one after another: "Chitose, I thought you left us alone." ”
"How could it be? I'm just going out for a walk. Xiao Qitian said with a smile, his temperament has changed greatly compared to before, and he actually has a little taste of a real prince.
"Don't say it! Chitose is injured, so help him to bandage it first. "There was a general's proposal, which was approved by everyone.
Suddenly, the sound of drums shook the sky, mixed with a tidal shout, and a spy reported: "The barbarian army is advancing by land and water, and has launched a charge!"
The faces of the generals changed.
Xiao Qitian seemed extremely calm at this moment: "You go up to the city tower first, and I will come later." There was a chill in his voice.
The congregation will answer.
Xiao Qitian returned to his residence, put on the gold-plated armor that he had never worn before, put on a white jade helmet, and came to the mirror, looking at his heroic self in the mirror. In an instant, a wave of pride surged into my heart.
He clenched his fists, as if he were holding thousands of creatures in Weicheng.
He closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, an indescribable light burst out of his eyes.
His facial features are delicate, but at this time he reveals a kind of perseverance that he has never seen before.
He finally ascended the tower.
But I saw the boulder rolling, and the arrows were all over the sky. The barbarian army under the city was like a moth to a fire, one less died, and another one was not afraid of death at all, impacting the fortified city of Weicheng.
"Chitose. Seeing Xiao Qitian go up to the city tower, a general greeted him and said, "I don't know why, the barbarian army has a very different momentum today, and it looks like a group of crazy people!"
Xiao Qitian nodded, indicating that he already knew.
At this time, dozens of barbarian soldiers climbed the tower, and their swords and guns swept through, which was extremely brave.
The generals were shocked, and Xiao Qitian was already like a big bird, and pounced on it.
He was originally a rural farmer, but at this moment, he suddenly became a peerless warrior. With a wave of his hand, he slapped down one of the barbarian soldiers, and in a few steps, several barbarian soldiers were put down, and the sword light danced, and the remaining barbarian soldiers had already died under his sword.
This scene simply stunned the leading soldiers of the generals of Da Yan, and then cheered in unison, like thunder, and couldn't help but boost morale.
The barbarian side was in a state of decline, the offensive was sharply reduced, and the gap was suddenly blocked.
Xiao Qitian's long sword was raised high, allowing the blood on it to flow down, and suddenly said loudly: "In today's battle, the city is here, this king will never be greedy for life, and he will live and die with you." The words were so loud that everyone could hear them clearly.
When the soldiers of Dayan heard this, they were all impressed, their morale was greatly boosted, and they couldn't help but echo in unison: "The city is here, and I swear to live and die with the king of Pingxi!"
In that battle, the sun and the moon were wiped out, and both sides suffered heavy losses.
In that battle, it was the Great Yan side that won. The barbarian army was defeated by the morale of the Great Yan side, and even the commander of the barbarian army was shot in the eyebrows by Xiao Qitian with an arrow and fell to his death.
The crisis was finally lifted, and the whole Weicheng was in a festive mood, with the soldiers hugging each other, and many people crying with joy.
Xiao Qitian was also happy for them, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist.
Before the celebration, at this moment, a huge will appeared, and a loud voice sounded: The country will be broken, the husband is responsible, he is ordered in danger, life and death are out of the way, and loyalty and courage can move the heavens.
Loyal and brave reincarnation passed, reward: brave and strong.
