693: Sacrifice of prisoners
Zhao Zhen slowly walked to the bottom of the city.
A group of cavalry was already waiting here, and the commander at the head shouted: "Ministers, please your majesty to go!" ”
Zhao Zhen got on the horse, nodded slightly, and said, "Let's go." ”
"Your Majesty is on your way!"
Zhao Zhen rode his horse lightly and took the lead out of the city gate, and the commander looked from behind and saw that he was on horseback with a straight waist, and couldn't help but praise in his heart.
This majesty is not weak.
Zhao Zhen rode his horse forward, and the people on both sides couldn't help but cheer when they saw it.
"Your Majesty is out!"
"This majesty looks young!"
"But you see that his waist is straight, and he is more energetic than ordinary young people."
“……”
People always like to speculate about the class they can't see, and Zhao Zhen is the object of their keen discussion, the footsteps roared, after seeing Zhao Zhen, someone shouted: "Stop......"
Everyone is stepping hard!
Rumble!
Like the tranquility after the thunder, there was silence on the royal street.
Zhao Zhence stepped forward immediately, rolled his eyes, and said: "The Great Song Dynasty has been a country for a hundred years, and there have been endless troubles in the past hundred years. Now there are thieves in the west to provoke the border, you are ordered to go out on the expedition, fight a battle, and let the Great Song Dynasty battle flag rise to the northwest, and the merit is great......"
In the past, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty went out to fight in the desert, and no matter whether they won or lost, they were still deserted, but today the heir of the Great Song Dynasty came, and this specification went up at once.
The soldiers' hearts were lifted at once.
Zhao Zhen's eyes roamed around the side, and finally saw Qin Wei outside the door of a wine shop, this guy actually gave the opportunity to be in the limelight to others, and he was carrying a roast leg of lamb there to gnaw.
"I want to take this bite in the northwest!"
Qin Wei tore off a piece of meat and put it in his mouth in a few bites, but he couldn't be satisfied.
Su Xun carried a fried quail and ate happily.
He crouched on the side, a bowl of wine at his feet.
Eat a bite of meat, drink a sip of wine, so happy, regardless of the surprised eyes of the people around him, this product has not changed his personality for a year, and his temper has not changed, but his skin has become thicker.
Xie Ting said in a tangled manner: "Lang Jun, the mutton in the northwest is delicious!" Tender! ”
Qin Wei glanced at him and said, "The mutton over there is tender, but the cook who makes mutton doesn't wash his hands when he comes out of the latrine, and he sneezes at the roast lamb, how can he eat it?" ”
Su Xun put down the bowl and sighed: "The key is that he put a lot of salt...... One night, I drank a stomach of water, and when I lay on the bed and moved, my belly shook, just like a water bladder. ”
Xie Ting beckoned to the shopkeeper, "A jar of wine." ”
Zhao Zhen went along the way, comforting the soldiers all the way.
How could these soldiers have been treated so kindly, their faces were as red as a red cloth, and they couldn't wait to turn around and kill the northwest again, and directly destroy the Western Xia.
He finally returned to the front again and asked, "If the Great Song Dynasty is in trouble, do you dare to attack again?" ”
"Dare!"
Countless eyes looked at Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen raised his head slightly, "In this way, I will wait and see!" ”
Rumble!
The atmosphere was instantly ignited.
The low status of the warriors of the Great Song Dynasty has been at the lowest level in history since the founding of the country, and even the Ming army in the future cannot be compared.
In such an environment, the warriors were the lower classes, the officials regarded them as slaves, and the people of all social strata regarded them as thieves and soldiers......
We are mud, mud that can't support the wall, so they go with the flow, no longer care about the big song, no longer care about the exercises......
But today, the ardent hope of the crown prince of the Great Song Dynasty made them excited.
We are not sludge!
Everyone raised their chins slightly, their eyes burning with pride and emotion.
We were recognized by the Prince!
Zhao Zhen bowed his head slightly and rode back.
"Start...... Walk! ”
Rumble!
The footsteps shook the streets, and they shook like they had never done before.
Su Xun, who was gnawing on quails, looked at the bowl full of wine at his feet vibrating, and the wine was rippling, and he couldn't help but say, "This is the earth dragon turned over!" ”
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
The footsteps extended, and the people in front couldn't help but retreat.
"Get out of the way!"
The tiles on the roof of a shop suddenly slid down, but fortunately the people below avoided it in time, and the tiles fell to the ground and shattered, and the people looked at the army in horror, not knowing what words to use to describe the shock.
The sound of footsteps continued to shake the earth, heading towards the Xuande Gate.
"Such shocking steps, only Qin Wei can practice them, and he has made a lot of contributions this time......"
Lu Yijian turned around and asked, "What about Qin Wei?" ”
Someone at the head of the city used a telescope to observe the approaching array, and said: "It seems that I was eating roast lamb leg on the side before, and I was with Su Xun and devoured it." ”
"Isn't he involved?"
Lu Yijian became more and more incomprehensible to Qin Wei.
Fan Zhongyan sighed: "Scholars are looking forward to the roll call outside the Donghua Gate, thinking that it will be a glorious moment of their lives, but Qin Wei can't avoid it, and he really doesn't value fame and fortune." ”
Zhao Zhen turned around and asked, "Does my Great Song have an advantage in this battle?" ”
Wang Zhen had already come up, and he said, "Your Majesty, there is no advantage in this battle against the Great Song Dynasty. ”
He organized the language and said: "The Western Xia cavalry is powerful, this time the first thing is that the bow and crossbow are powerful, and they are constantly suppressed, and the second is that the soldiers use their lives...... No, it's desperate. ”
"Desperate?"
People who have not been in the battle formation can't understand it, and they can't imagine that kind of scene, so Zhao Zhen is a little puzzled.
Wang Zhen said: "The minister saw those soldiers...... The enemy's war horses rushed forward, and they met them like this, slashed with knives and axes, and then were knocked away by the war horses, Your Majesty, the air was full of blood! The minister looked at ...... And so the young men went. ”
Zhao Zhen just thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but be moved: "Can anyone retreat?" ”
Wang Zhen shook his head and said: "No, under the military order, no one retreats." Even when the enemy cavalry broke through, our bows and arrows did not distinguish between the enemy's and our coverage......"
Arrows were flying in the sky, and it was not only the enemy who fell, but also his own people.
Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "It's a brave man." ”
Wang Zhen said: "For the sake of the Great Song Dynasty...... Your Majesty, those soldiers shouted these words and rushed to kill bravely...... They are not thieves. ”
"Hooray!"
At this time, there was a shout outside, Zhao Zhen turned around and went back, seeing that the array had already walked to the front.
"Hooray!"
Zhao Zhen's gaze gradually had some other meanings, and he said lightly: "For the sake of the Great Song Dynasty?" ”
So the array under the city and the people saw an exceptional emperor.
Zhao Zhen pulled out his long sword and pointed diagonally at the sky.
It's a move like never before!
The courtiers on the side changed color one after another, shocked by this gesture, and the people were at a loss, but the soldiers shouted vigorously: "Long live! Long live Your Majesty! ”
If you give us respect, then we will dare to give up our lives and fight for you and for this Great Song until the last moment!
Qin Wei was also excited, he didn't expect Zhao Zhen to make this move.
So he stood on the side and shouted: "Draw your sword and salute Your Majesty!" ”
Choke!
He was the first to draw his sword, his long black knife pointed diagonally at the sky.
Choke!
Ten thousand long knives were unsheathed, the blades were cold, and they pointed obliquely at the sky.
"For the Great Song!"
"For the Great Song!"
Countless shouts shook Bianliang City.
"Hooray......
Rumble!
10,000 feet stomped hard.
"Your Majesty, the sacrifice of prisoners has begun."
A path split in the middle of the array, and the prisoners of war slowly came.
"Your Majesty, the people of Western Xia are brave, these people are scared. The soldiers of our army use their lives and exchange their lives for their lives, and the courage of the Xixia people cannot match. ”
Wang Zhen is nostalgic for the years in the northwest, but Lu Yijian is envious.
Zhao Zhen said: "Will the Western Thief even be afraid of my Great Song Warriors?" ”
Lu Yijian said: "Of course they will, those thieves rely on many war horses, so they dare to be proud." ”
Zhao Zhen looked down with deep eyes, "War horse, the Great Song Dynasty will have a war horse after all." ”
At this moment, he remembered Emperor Wu of Han!
In order to defeat the Huns, the Han paid a huge price in raising horses, and those prisoners of war went to the city, and someone shouted: "Kneel!" ”
No one resisted, and the prisoners of war knelt there.
"Your Majesty, you need to give me a way to deal with it."
Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "The road from here to the northwest has been destroyed, so let's build the road." ”
"Your Majesty has a will...... These people are sent to the northwest to build roads! ”
There is no doubt that this was an insult to Western Xia.
Just imagine......
When the envoys of Western Xia rode their horses and galloped on the smooth roads, but saw these prisoners of war from their own country building roads on the side, what would it be like?
At this time, the atmosphere reached its climax.
"Smash!"
The people on both sides began to smash things, all kinds of debris flew over, and those prisoners of war no longer saw their bravery, and they all hugged their heads to hide.
"Stand still!"
The sergeants whipped them, deliberately slowing them down and subjecting them to more humiliation.
"Every year they come to the northwest to plunder, how many people are killed by them, how many women are robbed by their scourge...... These brutes, smash! ”
Anything that was smashed over.
Qin Wei even saw a stool fly over, smashing a prisoner of war on the head and bleeding, the prisoner of war gradually moved away, the array turned around, and then returned.
The people were watching the team.
"They defeated the Tanguts, and they are not thieves."
"Well, but many people say that they are thieves and soldiers, and only those who have no talent will be warriors."
"Nonsense, if it weren't for them, Li Yuanhao would have taken the northwest this time, think about it, how terrible it is."
"They are all good men, not thieves with troops!"
"Look at the man, the scar on his face, it looks so deep...... What is this not a good man? ”
"Good man!"
Someone cheered, triggering a wave of imitation.
"It's worth it!"
Qin Wei and Su Xun stood behind, and he said with satisfaction: "This sacrifice of prisoners is to let the people see the glory of the Great Song Dynasty, but where does this glory come from?" It is by virtue of these soldiers that they are fighting. They are getting to know the Great Song Wuren again, this is a good start, Zizhan, a certain mood is very good! ”
Su Xun said: "Today, Your Majesty's drawing of the sword is more like a tribute, the martial artists of the world will be inspired, and then make great contributions, who would dare to call them thieves with troops?" ”
"Lord Qin, Your Majesty has summoned you!"
Qin Wei turned around and looked at the city and nodded slightly.
