Chapter 350: Sacrifice Yan and Huang
Wu Nian is not a drunkard, and what he drinks is not wine, but a sip of [pride].
It is said that if you are not greedy for a cup, you will not be greedy for a cup. Drink a bowl and forget it. However, Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng planned to drink some more, but they were severely stopped by Wu Nian with his eyes.
"There's something else you need to prepare. Come over with your ears. Wu Nian put down the wine bowl and looked up to the two of them.
"Huh?!" Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng also put down the wine bowl, walked in front of Wu Nian, squatted down and listened.
"General?!!!! After Wu Nian finished speaking, the faces of the two showed shock.
"If there is no such courage. How dare I say that I am fighting head-on with the Mengyuan people? Let's do it. β
"The Art of War. A soldier is fire. If you don't burn the enemy, you will extinguish yourself. β
"If you can't win, you're defeated. It's just death, what's there to fear?! Wu Nian raised his head and looked at the two of them, and in a pair of tiger eyes, they were full of heroism.
"Yes." Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng suddenly perked up, gave up their hands, and went down to prepare.
Wine is not intoxicating, people are drunk.
Wu Nian felt that his head was a little groggy, and the blood in his body became more and more hot. He stood up and laughed loudly, "Remembering the past." Wei Qing and Huo Quai's 100,000 horse infantry troops, the desert, chasing the Huns Shan Yu, and sealing the wolf Juxu. β
"Sooner or later, one day in my Wu year, I will also raise 100,000 horse infantry troops and go straight to the capital of Mengyuan."
"Draw an end to the hatred of this country."
There was no word that day. Early the next morning. The Huotou Army, like the people's daily life, buries the pot and cooks in an orderly manner.
Wu Nian is not wrong at all.
The soldiers of Beishan Fort did not collapse under such circumstances.
It's a fightable soldier.
After breakfast, the people went back to their tents and tried not to walk outside, so as not to cause trouble to Wu Nian.
The elite soldiers and militia patrolled and stood guard according to the order. Before that, there was a training session for the militia.
On this way of escape, Wu Nian will train them when he has time.
But today it's different.
"Knock Knock Knock !!!" Some soldiers were beating gongs and drums, shouting: "The general is on the east mountain, setting up an altar to worship the Yan and Huang Emperors." All the people and soldiers, unless they had to stand guard, went to the eastern hill and assembled. β
"Soldiers put on their armor and take their weapons."
This caused an uproar among the people, at a loss.
Not everyone knows who the Yan and Huang Emperors are, after all, there are many illiterates.
"Who are the two emperors of Yan and Huang?"
"This is the leader of the ancient tribes. Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, Shennong Yan Emperor. The ancestor of our Yan Han. β
Since it was Wu Nian's order, both the army and the people walked out and gathered on the eastern mountain. People on the road talked a lot, mainly about what they knew, and about popular science that they didn't know.
Soon, they reached the hill to the east, where twenty or thirty thousand soldiers and civilians were pressed in black.
On an altar made of rudimentary wood.
There are the spiritual seats of Emperor Yan and Yellow Emperor, and there are all pigs, all sheep, and all cattle as sacrifices.
It was a very solemn sacrifice.
Wu Nian was wearing heavy armor, a red-tasseled helmet, a knife handle at his waist in his left hand, and a scavenged red cloak, standing facing the army and civilians.
Looking at the black and oppressive army and civilians, Wu Nian said angrily: "I don't believe in gods and Buddhas, but I value my ancestors." We Han people go back up, these two emperors are our ancestors. We are the same people as Mengyuan barbarians, but our ancestors are completely different. β
"I, Wu Nian, have the ability, if I return to Mengyuan. It is indispensable to worship the generals, glory and wealth. β
"But I despise wealth as dung, and look at the title of king and marquis as grass mustard."
"I'm just like you. He is a son of a Yan man. β
"I'm proud and proud."
"Now. We are surrounded by the Mengyuan people, and I will lead you to break through. Bow down to my ancestors with me, and be blessed by my ancestors. We're going to get out of it. β
Immediately, Wu Nian knelt down to the east, and the spiritual position of the three knocking Yan and the Yellow Second Emperor was slow and solemn.
Wu Nian doesn't know etiquette, and he doesn't need etiquette, as long as he is sincere. He worships not the two emperors of Yan and Huang, but the ancestors, but the [benevolence] in his heart.
After listening to Wu Nian's angry words, the soldiers and civilians were either enthusiastic or ignorant. But under the majestic situation, they either took the initiative or passively knelt down with Wu Nian and bowed to the spiritual positions of Yan and Huang Emperors.
"Please bless us two emperors and let us fight our way out of the encirclement."
"Please bless us with the two emperors, recover Liaodong, and expel the Tartars."
"Please bless the two emperors to allow our whole family to escape, and then become rich and prosperous."
After the three worships, Wu Nian stood up, pulled out the steel knife at his waist to cut people, cut off a leg of mutton without any scruples, and tore it in a big bite.
Wu Nian is a person who has no taboos.
And if the ancestors really have spirits, they will not blame their children and grandchildren for eating. Wu Nian is definitely a filial son and grandson.
And the soldiers and civilians who bow down are a little blind, and the general is a bit undignified, right?
At this moment, a fire broke out in the camp, attracting the attention of the military and civilians. The elite soldiers and militia had already taken weapons under the orders of the officers, but they did not know that they were on fire.
The people were not even more prepared, and they were all stunned.
"People die and die in the loess. Money is just something outside of the body, and of course there is no need to eat. I only ordered and brought five days' worth of food. β
"This battle. Either I will die with you, or we will fight our way out. Wu Nian's voice was still loud, he threw away the half-gnawed leg of lamb in his hand, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and then shouted, "Come on." Lead my horse, and bring my lance. β
"General."
A personal soldier walked over with Wu Nian's jujube red war horse, and there was a bow and arrow bag behind the horse. Two pro-soldiers carried Wu Nian's horse lance and walked over.
Wu Nian got off the humble altar, clinged to the saddle with both hands, turned over the horse very vigorously, bent down and reached out, picked up the heavy horse lance, and after playing with it, he lay it behind his back.
"The elite soldiers are with me, for the first ladder."
"The militia is commanded by Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng, and it is the second echelon."
"The people followed under the leadership of the pavilion chief, and it was the third ladder."
"Northwest downhill. Who's in the way. Whether it's a human or a ghost, cut me down to the ground. β
"Our ancestors are bless us."
Wu Nian's thick right arm raised the horse lance in his hand, roared, his feet gently clamped the horse's belly, the jujube red war horse was in pain, and made a "boom" sound, carrying Wu Nian to take the lead and go down the mountain.
Worship ancestors.
The fire burns money and food.
Put all oneβs eggs in one basket.
Wu Nian's series of operations did not reveal a single tone in advance. The military and civilians are not psychologically prepared.
But at this moment, they can only follow along.
If you don't win, you die.
We've got to win!!!!!!!!!
"Our ancestors are bless us!!!! The elite soldiers were the first to react, shouting and striding to keep up with Wu Nian's footsteps.
Then there were the militia led by Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng, and finally the common people.
More than 20,000 people were violent, rolling up the dust and smoke in the sky, and headed down the mountain.
