The sky was getting dark, and the pole star was already shining in the east. The wind swept the vitality of the summer evening.

Standing alone at the entrance of the village, looking at the candlelight in the grass hut dozens of steps away, with the flickering of the dark wind, it seemed to dance with the gray smoke coming out of the chimney. can't help but make people forget the troubled times and the upcoming battle of the city, and feel a burst of yearning and comfort, as if they are in a paradise.

"Captain, the meal is ready. In addition, the scout detachment has returned. "I don't know when Sun Lulu came behind me, and it wasn't until he opened his mouth that I woke up from Xiangzhu.

In two hours, the army galloped for more than 30 miles and arrived outside this nameless village.

"Let's go." I strode forward, the nail leaves on my body and the boots on my feet rustling. It was my first time wearing armor. Heavy armor on his body makes him feel that this is a real soldier.

When he first came out of Zhangzhuang with the troops, his physical fitness was not very good, and he couldn't walk a few steps when he put on the armor. After the bloody battles and training in the past few days, my physical fitness is suddenly much better than a few days ago. But I still feel a little heavy.

I didn't have to walk a few steps before I heard the high-pitched and passionate chorus singing. I stopped and turned my head to look at Sun Lulu.

Sun Lulu saw me staring at him and bowed. This is what it means "please".

I couldn't help but quicken my pace forward, and the grinding sound of my armor was even louder. Almost step by step.

The singing gradually became clear, and the lyrics could be vaguely recognized: "Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear." Enmity with the Son! How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. ”

It's "Qin Feng • No Clothes"! I can't help but think.

According to legend, Qin Xianggong protected King Zhou Ping to move east, and was ordered by the king to attack the dog Rong. On the way, the Qin army was demoralized due to the long battle. Sui Changshi composed this war song and let the soldiers of the Qin army sing it to each other, but the morale was high, and the dog Rong was finally defeated. As a result, Qin was made a vassal state by King Zhou Ping and embarked on the road of princes competing for hegemony.

I stopped to listen, and the singing was generous and majestic, full of patriotic fervor. This poem was recited as early as the first year of high school, so it was sung to the beat of the knights with a tenor trained in KTV. As I walked along, more and more soldiers looked back.

I saw them sitting around the fires, with rare smiles on their faces. When he saw me coming, he couldn't help but stand up in awe. Sing this "Qin Feng • No Clothes" together.

"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son!

How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the son!

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son! ”

After singing the song, the morale was high and the cheers were rising.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the cavalry camp. The Yellow Turban rebels disturbed my peaceful life, killed my Han people, took away my fertile land, and disrupted my Han country. Can we tolerate them? I asked aloud.

"No!"

"Is it not allowed?"

"No!"

"You deserve to be the elite cavalry of my great man. What kind of bird is riding the camp, I only know that the snail is a shrunken turtle in Jixian County, a fucking fart elite! My scolding elicited a burst of laughter.

"You know what we're here for."

"Take the city!" A daring soldier said.

"Not bad. But do you know how many rebels we're facing? ”

The knights talked a lot, but they couldn't say it. It seems that in order not to affect morale, the Sima of the various ministries did not spread the news.

"The number of rebels in the city is not known yet, but it will not be less than 10,000." I raised my right hand forward and extended my index finger.

After listening to my words, the following discussion began.

"Ten thousand. So much, huh? ”

"Ten thousand is a bird, we are cavalry, no matter how much we are not afraid."

"This is to attack the city, not a field battle, and the cavalry will not work."

Seeing that they were still talking, I shouted, "Stop." The team immediately fell silent.

"Zhang Liang's 30,000 cavalry, 70,000 infantry, a total of 100,000 rebels, will arrive at the city in a few days." I deliberately spit out word by word so that they could hear clearly and let them know the predicament facing our army. If you want to win this battle, you don't have high morale, so you can simply retreat.

The knights were again talking, and most of them were afraid. However, I believe that there are always those who are not afraid.

"Isn't it just 100,000 bird bandits, what's there to be afraid of." The sound is like a huge thunder, and it is naturally Zhang Fei who can make this sound. He took a few steps towards the center and shouted, "My brother and I were trapped in the city by 10,000 bird bandits, and there were only thirty-six people around us, and ten of them were seriously injured and could not fight. We still killed the bird bandits and recaptured the city. Now there are 3,000 horsemen here, so why are you afraid of a hundred thousand bird bandits? ”

"Yes, just 100,000 bird bandits, how can the soldiers of my Tun Cavalry Battalion take it in their eyes, what they are afraid of is the bad seeds, go home and sleep with the girls!" These vulgar words came from Li Hao's mouth. It was precisely this vulgar language that aroused the common hatred of the cavalry and the heart of not fearing the strong enemy.

"I'm afraid of the seeds!"

"Yes, there are no seeds left in the Tun Cavalry Camp."

"The Han army is mighty!"

"The Han army is mighty! The Han army is mighty! The shouts raged with the wind and shook the earth like thunder.

****** ****** ******

At 23:00 Beijing time, there was no moon and stars, and the whole earth was silent in a gloom.

Deng Mao and I led the scout detachment into the Juma River in the dark. Stopping in front of a valley, the cavalry rested a mile away.

"Ahead is the Juma Valley." Deng Mao said in a low voice.

"It's strange, this is located in the North China Plain, and it was still a small hill just now. How did you get here to be a cliff and a valley? I asked in a low voice.

"Listen to the old village chief here said, this was originally a small mountain range, a thousand years ago suddenly there was this Juma River, because of the large flow of the river, the cutting effect on the mountains through which it is passed is strong, so the formation of two steep canyons, there is a hundred miles gallery of the Juma River Valley."

"So, the valley is a hundred miles long?"

"Yes. From here to the north for a hundred miles is a river valley more than ten zhang high, and the water flow under the valley is turbulent, dark and scorched, and it is impossible to sail. Hundreds of miles to the south, the terrain is relatively low, and the pontoon bridge cannot be erected, and the water is unabated, and the turbulence is abnormal, so the ferry is very difficult. From Guangzong to Jixian, if you cross the river to the east along the downstream, you have to go around hundreds of miles. Crossing this pontoon bridge through Yu County, it will save a lot of trouble. Looking in the direction of Deng Mao's finger, sure enough, there was a long black shadow sweeping the valley dozens of steps ahead.

"Just the one in front?"

"Yes, the steep cliffs on both sides of this place protrude several zhang to the center without end, so that the valley that is more than ten zhang wide is reduced to four or five zhang. This is how easy it is to erect pontoons. This is the only place in the entire valley where bridges can be built. After crossing the pontoon bridge in front, it is the city of Yucheng for another six miles. "Although the situation on the Juma River is very different from what I had imagined, the important military and strategic location of the county has increased rather than decreased. It seems that as long as the city is defended, the rebels will never be able to cross the Juma River.

"If this bridge is burned, won't it be a hundred? The rebels had to take a detour. "Wang Lao Wudao.

"It's not that simple, is it? Listen to Deng Mao. "I feel that there must be a mystery in this, otherwise, Zou Zhonghou would not have thought of burning the bridge and breaking the road a few days ago.

"It all starts with a legend." Deng Mao choked nervously, as if what he was going to say next was very incredible.
