Chapter 439: The Enemy Enters the Urn
"There is no need to give up if you die, this prince values you and will not let you die, now I have entrusted you with an important task, you lead your 50,000 people to be the vanguard, stationed in front of the enemy's defense line, monitor the enemy's movements at any time, and report at any time if there is any abnormal movement!" said the prince.
"The last general will be ordered, and the task must be completed!"
When night came, the prince was in Jianping County, and he couldn't help frowning when he looked at the numbers counted below. After a long time, he sighed: "I didn't expect that in less than a day of fighting, our army would have 330,000 casualties, and the original 2 million army was only 1.7 million left.
Speaking of this, the prince's face showed a feeling of pain, and his heart was dripping blood, that is the warrior of the Wind Country, 300,000!
"Your Highness, don't be worried, in this battle, our army successfully captured Jianping, and it was Li Guozhong's main army that was encountered, this was not a small battle in the past, but a big battle between the main force and the main force. According to rough statistics, although the enemy occupies the convenience of defending the city, there are at least 200,000 dead and wounded more than 200,000 soldiers, and now the enemy's front-line army has been reduced by one-third, only about 450,000, and our army still has 1.7 million, and the last general thinks that even if there are a few more such big battles, it doesn't matter, as long as you can recapture the territory of our wind country city by city, you will be the victor!" said a commander standing below the prince.
"Well, that's reasonable!" the prince nodded, and then asked, "Have all the soldiers of your various divisions set up camp and rested?"
"Back to His Highness, they have all been stationed, and the soldiers are tired from a day, so it is time to rest. ”
"How did the people of the city react?" the prince continued.
"The people are very happy, they think from the bottom of their hearts that they are all the people of my wind country, I heard that tomorrow morning, the people will hold a celebration in the city to celebrate Jianping's return to the embrace of my wind country!"
When the prince heard this, he laughed happily: "Okay, Hua Shenguang's little child has been promoting benevolent government, wanting to influence the people of my Fengguo and change the people's belonging to the country from the bottom of their hearts. Tomorrow, the people will celebrate, and the prince will go out in micro clothes and personally enjoy with the people!"
Just when the crown prince was about to celebrate the recapture of Jianping, in the military camp of Daping State, Hua Shenguang was secretly discussing with Li Guozhong. Hua Shenguang said: "In this battle, our army killed 250,000 people and wounded 30,000 people, it was simply filled with human lives, I was thinking, if this strategy is not successful, then I will be ashamed of the dead soldiers." ”
"Lord Wang, your strategy will definitely succeed!" Li Guozhong comforted.
"I hope so, if it weren't for the purpose of luring the enemy into the urn, I wouldn't have used this powerful weapon, Tribulus Bullets, and now our army is distributed in a linear pattern, just in line with the wind you released earlier, we have built the strongest line of defense. The few words you shouted at the enemy before withdrawing your troops can also dispel the enemy's doubts about why our army didn't use thistle shells to defend the city, and I'm sure that the prince would not dare to attack us easily again. ”
"Report!" At this moment, Yang Lin hurriedly came back from outside.
"Yang Lin, how is it, what's going on?" asked Hua Shenguang urgently.
Yang Lin showed a smug smile on his face: "Lord Wang, good news, the enemy army has really divided the army into two parts, one is stationed in the camp we discarded, and the other is stationed in Jianping County, the four major military camps in the southeast, northwest and northwest of the city, which is where the main force of the enemy army is stationed. ”
"Hahahaha, okay!" Hua Shenguang couldn't help but clapped his hands, "General Li, how about it, at the beginning, I ordered people to expand the four major military camps in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and renovate the barracks beds, so that their garrison capacity has greatly increased, and now it has finally come in handy! The prince originally decided to build Ping County, if it is not as I expected, the prince will not mobilize the army for the time being." ”
Li Guozhong also smiled excitedly, and he said: "The prince is really clever, in this way, even if there are many enemy soldiers and some of them can't live, it doesn't matter." ”
"Lord Wang, general, my subordinates have also brought back a piece of good news, that is, the people in Jianping County will spontaneously organize tomorrow to celebrate Jianping's return to the hands of the Wind Country!" Yang Lin said.
"Okay, in that case, you wait for me to go out, and we will celebrate the loss of Jianping tonight!" said Hua Shenguang and strode out.
The cool breeze blows, and the moon is full of stars. Hua Shenguang, Li Guozhong, and Yang Lin sat together, chatting and drinking together. Grilled meats and some pastries are placed on the table.
"Lord Wang, at this time of year, the moon will be very bright, and the earth will be covered with silver glow, if it weren't for your proposal to celebrate, I wouldn't have the heart to enjoy such a scene!" Yang Lin tore a bite of barbecue meat and said while chewing.
"Autumn is high and cool, it is the time to admire the moon, at this time in the capital, before the moon in front of the flowers, in front of the house and behind the house, I don't know how many talented and beautiful people are singing to the moon, I don't know how many sons I don't fight, how are they now?" Li Guozhong looked at the moon, a little inexplicably sad.
What he said touched the hidden string in Hua Shenguang's heart. He looked at the relatively large and different bright moon and the unfamiliar stars in this other world, and thought of his family, not only his mother and grandfather, but also his parents and relatives on Earth in his previous life.
"Yes, isn't it the Mid-Autumn Festival at this time in China?" Hua Shenguang thought of his parents and relatives in his previous life, and the family sat happily together to watch the Mid-Autumn Festival party and eat moon cakes. Gradually, he thought about his childhood when he was in Shangjing, where his mother and aunts took him to watch the moon and count the stars. These memories, whether they are his original or those that are fused with the original Hua Shenguang, all emerge one by one, as if they want to pass them to the unknown distance through the bright moon, and I wonder if the relatives in the distance can feel it?
Hua Shenguang touched things, his eyes were a little moist, he picked up a round pastry from the plate, took a bite, sweet, and said: "General Li, tomorrow I will leave a letter on my behalf to play the saint, and say that on August 15 every year, the bright moon is in the sky, and it is time to enjoy the moon." Admire the moon and remember your relatives, admire the moon and miss your hometown! The bright moon sends lovesickness for thousands of miles, and you should eat round cakes and look forward to reunion! I, the people of Daping country, at this time, reunite with my family and eat this cake together, this cake is named moon cake, in order to express the meaning of reunion! Every year on August 15, it is the middle of autumn, and it should be named Mid-Autumn Festival and set as a festival. ”
When Li Guozhong heard this, his eyes lit up, and he felt that this idea was very good, and immediately agreed.
It is the three of them who drink freely, it has created the custom of celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival in Daping every year in the future, moon cakes, this new thing, is also prevalent in trillions of families in Daping, from the royal family to the grass people, all enjoy a round of bright moon and tell a feeling.
