Qiao Yang swallowed, and his only remaining hand couldn't help but tremble a little.

He has experienced more than 100 battles in the army, and he knows that this is almost a lifeless situation, and for those who are in it, the only thing he can do is to choose death.

"There is a brother named Zhang Hu who came back alive, he is close to Chen Xiao, and he said that he finally heard Chen Xiao's words."

"Brethren, these thieves have killed thousands of my comrades, can we spare them?"

"Can't, can't!"

"Yes, no! Even if it is death, we will avenge our comrades by slaying our enemies. After this battle, it is not that the world is peaceful, but after this battle, everyone will remember us, we will leave our names in the history of a thousand years, the Great Song Dynasty, who else will I be, the Tiger Roar Battalion, mighty! ”

"Mighty, mighty!"

"Kill~!"

As he spoke, the old man shouted excitedly, as if he was also in the Tiger Roar Camp that year, shouting with all the soldiers.

After a moment, the old man calmed down and continued: "Chen Xiao led everyone to cover up and kill the group of routed soldiers, it is not difficult to imagine how tragic it was when the sword light, the fire light, and the blood light were all mixed together. The people who escaped saw our ambush soldiers and horses, only dared to tremble, abandoned the sword soldiers and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy, that battle, captured more than 20,000 enemies, casualties are not counted, and our side only lost 2,000 people in the Tiger Roar Battalion, Pingyao City fell in one day. ”

"It's a classic battle." Qiao Yang exclaimed with an outsider's gaze.

"yes, but I'm not happy at all. Sometimes I wonder if the guards stationed in Pingyao at that time were not so stupid, not the whole army pressed down, but only sent a small force of cavalry to attack and harass. We got the victory we wanted, they didn't lose too much, and most importantly, the Tiger Roar was able to evacuate calmly. ”

"If so, how nice." The old man muttered again, his eyes were full of sadness, "The Tiger Roar Battalion is the old team I brought out from the Zhaowu Army, and it has always followed me as a personal guard battalion, and it must be the first in every battle, and the casualties are the most heavy, but it is also the most killed. The newcomers have changed batch after batch, and those who survived have become old men in the army, and finally carry the soul of the tiger's roar. They are the best soldiers I have ever led. ”

The Tiger Roar Camp was famous, and Qiao Yang had also heard of it, and suddenly he remembered the military song that he often heard in the Old Man Army, saying that it came from the Tiger Roar Camp, and he couldn't help but hum it.

"The sound is like thunder for nine days, and a hundred battles have never retreated half a foot."

The old man's eyes lit up, and he continued: "The yellow sand is stained with blood, and the strong man can block the fall of thousands of troops." Blockable, Hosts, Tilt! ”

Then the old man babbled and said a lot of things, and finally he was physically exhausted, and let people carry him down the mountain.

Before leaving, the old man said to Qiao Yang: "Young people, don't go back to the mountains and forests too early, this kind of life is not suitable for you, even if you can't lift a knife and cross a horse, there are many ways to serve the court." This is an era of heroes, and good men should not do nothing. That's all I have to say, you're thinking about it. ”

"Boy, remember." Qiao Yang respectfully said goodbye.

Shi Lan watched all this, the tragic story of ups and downs was hazy in her mind.

Zhuangzi Youyun: "Don't go through the suffering of others, don't persuade others to be kind", in fact, the truth is similar, Shi Lan has never experienced the war, and she can't experience the feeling, what she only knows is that it turns out that a long time ago, Grandpa had blocked those red armor warriors for others, and I think those people are also people who are very important to Grandpa.

Shi Lan didn't know that there were many kinds of soldiers in the world, she had only seen a sea of people in Dalin City, so she thought that all the soldiers in the world were like this.

After that, the old man did not come again, and no outsiders came.

On a snowy day, Qiao Yang came to the tomb to speak, and Shi Lan knew that the old man was also gone, but he didn't know which star in the sky he had become, he didn't care to himself, he shouldn't be able to find it.

Life is in a hurry, and a generation has quietly come to an end, leaving only a ripple in the vigorous new dynasty.

Spring goes, autumn comes, spring goes, flowers bloom, leaves fall, flowers bloom again. Time passed, and the world that Shi Lan saw was staged on this halfway hillside like a stage play, except for Qiao Yang's family, Zhang Jing's figure appeared the most.

Qiao Qing'er often goes up and down the mountain, or goes to her mother's shop, or plays with her companions, and whenever she returns, she always looks for Zhang Jing, who knows kung fu, to protect her, and it has become a habit over time.

As they grow older, the footprints of this group of babies will not reach the villages under the mountains, they will always run all over the mountains, with Zhang Jing, the future general, the babies are also at ease, and they are even more unscrupulous.

Fortunately, since the day when the officers and soldiers surrounded and suppressed the monsters in Dalin Mountain, the big insects have not appeared again, and the little general Qiao Yang often haunts the mountains, so people let it go.

For more than ten years, on the day when Qiao Qing'er was fourteen years old and Zhang Jing was twenty-two years old, the two came to the grave together and made a private decision for life.

That night, the sky burned the clouds for 10,000 miles, and the whole sky was decorated with them, red and festive.

Qiao Qing'er took Zhang Jing's arm and knelt in front of the tombstone together.

"Grandpa, grandma, Qing'er hasn't come to talk to you for a long time, I hope you don't blame. Today, Qing'er came to let your second elder be a witness, from today on, I, Qiao Qing'er, would like to become a married couple with Brother Jing. ”

"Qing'er."

Look at each other and smile, everything is silent.

"Master and mother-in-law, I, Zhang Jing, swear here, that I am only willing to take Qing'er alone in this life, respect her, love her, and live up to her. When I return from the Northern Expedition, I will carry the sedan chair eight times, and the scenery will be clear. ”

Qiao Qing'er looked at it with a smile, she didn't stop it, she didn't want to cover her mouth like in the novel, she just wanted to hear it, whether it was a promise or a poisonous oath, she wanted to hear it, because she knew that these words would be her spiritual pillar in the next few years.

This year, in the third year of Yongxi, His Majesty the Emperor sent troops to the Northern Expedition, and everyone knew that this was a difficult battle, so the military order was issued, and soldiers began to be recruited in various places to prepare for long-term battles.

Zhang Jing signed up without hesitation after learning about it.

At that time, the person in charge of the recruitment office was Qiao Yang, and it was he who told Qiao Qing'er.

After Qiao Qing'er heard this, she ran down the mountain like crazy, she had been playing and playing together since she was a child, she never thought that there would be a day when she and Zhang Jing would part, she didn't want Zhang Jing to leave, it would be better if they could be together for the rest of their lives.

panting and running in front of her, but after meeting, Qiao Qing'er understood in an instant, understanding both Zhang Jing and herself.

So, she rushed over and knocked Zhang Jing down, pressed her hands, stared at him eye to eye, and said what she thought.

Zhang Jing had no way to escape, and the face that was close to him was so familiar, the familiarity that had accompanied him since childhood, and the familiarity of thinking about it, made him unable to refuse.

However, the future is bleak, and life and death are uncertain, how can you agree? It's about the happiness of this girl's life.

"Promise me, you can't escape, you can't escape for the rest of your life."

In the face of happiness, the girl is strong and domineering, leaving only the only answer for the boy.

After looking at each other for a long time, they didn't avoid each other's gaze, and Zhang Jing finally mustered up the courage and agreed.

Qiao Qing'er was very pleased, so she pulled him all the way to run wildly, and under the gaze of everyone, she came all the way to the mountain, and then there was this scene.

"Life and death are broad, and Zicheng said. Hold the hand of the son, grow old with it. ”

Shi Lan silently recited the oath of the two of them, and seemed to understand, but it seemed that he didn't understand anything.

The sunset reflected the lovers, like wearing red clothes, and they were telling what had just happened, laughing and laughing.

No one knew that not far away, Qiao Yang was lying in the grass and showed a pleased smile.

A few days later, Zhang Jing embarked on a journey with his companions in the village.

From a distance, Shi Lan saw the team under the mountain, with a large number of people.

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the southern expedition and the northern war, losing less and winning more, the national prestige is rising day by day, the people are proud of it, and the Northern Expedition is in the name of recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the people's hearts are cohesive.

This is a group of young people who have never been to the battlefield, and have never even been out of the country, they are full of vitality, their faces are full of excitement, their heads are raised, their eyes are far away in the boundless sky, and they say goodbye to their relatives only in a hurry, and then they tell each other their expectations for the future.

Only Zhang Jing, five steps and one turn, three miles have never been broken, and Qiao Qing'er is smiling and grinning, and it is also three miles away, and she wants to go farther, but she was stopped by Qiao Yang, so she had to give up.

"Brother Jing, take care all the way." The girl shouted.

"So are you." The boy waved goodbye.

"My old man said, this world is very big, you don't want to be hooked up with a woman outside, even if you hook up, don't bring it back, do you hear!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Zhang Jing blushed with shame, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Qiao Qing'er smiled, laughing and laughing, but shed tears.

"Gotta come back alive!" Watching the team go away, Qiao Qing'er hissed and shouted.

"Yes!"

"Sister Qing'er, we will too!" A group of people from the same village, but older than Qiao Qing'er, followed suit.

"Hmph, a bunch of melon babies." The voice was a little choked, but Qiao Qing'er was amused again.

Qiao Yang came to her side and patted her on the back of the head: "What nonsense are you talking about the girl's family?" ”

With this beat, Qiao Qing'er's excitement passed, and then she came to her senses that the old man had always been beside her.

It's over, it's exposed!

Qiao Qing'er wanted to cover her face, but she caught a glimpse of the old man who had been watching the team in the distance, and the shame in her heart gradually disappeared.

"Old man, don't you object?"

"Against what? You and that stinky boy? If I hadn't told you, you would have known he was going to join the army? You are so good looking at your brain that you forget to be smart. ”

Qiao Qing'er stuck out her tongue lightly, and the boulder in her heart could be regarded as falling.

"Old man, I want to learn from my mother, I want to make a pair of shoes for Brother Jing. Today I saw a lot of people giving away clothes or something, but I didn't have anything to give. ”

"As long as you like it, you can do anything, and your old man and your mother will not object. Well, you'll have to make me a pair then. ”

"Okay."

This year, Qiao Qinger seems to have grown up, and she no longer ran up and down the mountains as usual, but followed her mother to learn to be a female celebrity.
