Chapter 222: The Great War
Before the people here could cheer, suddenly the lieutenant was beheaded from his horse.
This is just the tip of the battlefield, and many people have just killed the enemy before they are attacked by others and lose their names.
As long as you can kill the enemy, no matter how insidious you are, you can't do it too much.
The prince felt the horror of the battlefield for the first time, his body trembled slightly, the deputy general he knew, very young, less than twenty, yesterday at dinner also said that after a few years, he would go home to marry his daughter-in-law and honor his mother.
However, now he is dead on the battlefield.
The sky was full of yellow sand, and the warriors fell to the ground one by one, unable to get up again, and fought with the enemy until they died.
Old General Li stood beside him, his face calm, but the prince could see the suppressed storm in Old General Li's eyes.
"Prince, these are the soldiers who are not afraid of death, it is they who protect their families and defend the country so that the people can live and establish a career in peace."
The prince nodded, wanting to say something, but his throat was as painful as if it had been blocked with cotton.
"Lone knows!"
General Li stood there straight, his eyes firmly fixed on the battlefield, and suddenly sighed.
"Prince, the court has not done enough to appease the families of the martyrs."
The crown prince did not speak, but General Li already knew that he understood.
The two were silent for a while, and at the rear of the battlefield, the wounded were carried off the battlefield.
Moans of pain and wails were in their ears, and the doctors were busy bandaging their wounds, hoping that they would survive the event.
The drums of war never stopped, and not a single soldier retreated.
"General, when are we going up?"
The crown prince couldn't help but ask, and Old General Li groaned, "It's not time yet." ”
"All the soldiers listen to the order and pass the order down."
Several chess pieces were constantly waved, and the sergeants on the battlefield began to change formations constantly, and a group of soldiers cut directly diagonally to divide the enemy army into two parts.
Then it was divided again, forming a large and small encirclement.
The opposing general's against our two lieutenants, our lieutenants correspond to a dozen captains of the opposing side, and the minions fight each other's lieutenants.
The prince's eyes flashed slightly, this is a typical big fish eating small fish, and ants shaking elephants.
The prince watched from the side, and his blood boiled.
After eliminating the opponent's largest force, General Li Lao ordered all the attacks.
The crown prince and the prince also rushed out and wandered among the enemy troops.
The strength of the two is naturally not as good as that of the people who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they don't talk about martial arts anymore, taking advantage of the other party's inattention, to carry out sneak attacks from behind.
I don't know how long later, the horn sounded, and the flag was sounded to withdraw the troops.
As soon as the prince's breath relaxed, his hands felt that he could not hold the handle of the knife.
At this time, he and Shi Ziye were covered in blood and their faces were dirty, but neither of them cared.
As the sun set, the war finally ended, and the red of the sky seemed to be stained red with blood.
The ears were full of the cheering voices of the soldiers, and they did not chase after them.
The corners of the prince's mouth rose, and he was finally victorious.
At this time, the battlefield was in shambles, and the corpses were piled up, and when the battlefield was cleaned up, it was not even separated.
Such a situation can only be put together, and all the corpses are burned, otherwise the plague will spread, and I don't know how many will die.
After a big battle, there must be a celebration, and tonight everyone will eat meat and drink wine to let everyone relax, otherwise, the spirit will always be tense and people will be ruined.
This is war, full of blood and fire, life and death.
After the war, there are many things to deal with, such as the treatment of the wounded and the compilation of the death list.
The crown prince experienced the baptism of war for the first time, and when night came, he couldn't sleep, and when he closed his eyes, he could see the faces of a soldier who had died.
Suddenly, he turned over and sat up, wanting to go outside the tent to take a look.
When the prince heard the voice, he immediately sat up, "Your Highness, what's wrong?" Can't sleep? ”
The prince nodded, "You go to sleep first, I'll go for a walk outside!" ”
Shi Ziye turned over and got out of bed, "I won't tell you, I can't sleep either, I saw that you didn't move before, so I kept putting up with it!" ”
"Shall I go with His Highness?"
The prince nodded, motioning for him to follow.
After leaving the tent and refusing to be followed by the guards, the two found an open space and sat on the stones where the soldiers sat during the day, looking up at the stars in the sky.
The sky is so blue and there are many stars, but who would have thought that under such a bright sky, there would be bloody violence.
There was still the groaning of the wounded soldiers, the sound was small, but it was so clear in the silence of the night.
The crown prince suddenly spoke, "You say, why is there a war in the world? ”
The prince was silent, yes, why is there a war? It's nothing more than ambition, ambition is unwilling to accept the status quo, wants more, peeks at things that shouldn't be you.
He suddenly said sullenly, "What about the prince?" If...... What do you want the country to be like in the future? ”
"Naturally, the country is rich and the people live and work in peace and contentment."
"However, living and working in peace and contentment is a strong country, and a strong country means that the soldiers are strong, and there will still be wars at that time."
"Only when the country is strong will the people be deceived."
The prince was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Yes, there are some things that cannot be avoided, it is better to be afraid of the enemy, only if you are afraid and dare not send troops, the country and the people can be safe." ”
The two talked for a long time, and then went back to sleep when they were sleepy.
On the second day, General Li heard that the two of them went out for a walk in the middle of the night, and thought that the two would get up late.
Seeing that the two of them appeared in a fierce surprise, seeing that although the two of them did not sleep well, they were in good spirits, General Li nodded with satisfaction.
"The prince is really the prince, the minister went to the battlefield for the first time when he was young, and he had nightmares for several days in a row."
The prince smiled and waved his hand, "Lone is not as powerful as Old General Li, but General Li has been guarding the border for generations." ”
General Li smiled bitterly, "It's a pity that it's only the old man's generation." ”
Old General Li's heart knot, the prince naturally knotted, and after being silent for a while, he still couldn't help but ask, "When the little young master was lost, did you look outside?" ”
Old General Li nodded, "I've found it, I've been looking for a long place." ”
"I don't know, is there anything special about the little master? Or something that can represent identity? ”
"At that time, Rui'er brought a wooden sign with a Rui character engraved on it."
As he spoke, General Li dipped his fingers in a little tea and wrote the word Rui.
"I don't know if I've lost it, and I don't look forward to anything else, as long as Rui'er can get better!"
His eyes were moist, his eyes were full of thoughts about his grandson, thinking of his grandson and his son and daughter-in-law who died on the battlefield, and he only felt sorry for them.
General Li Xiao hurriedly gave him a chest stroke, "Father-in-law, Rui'er will definitely be fine, maybe we will be able to meet when we can, you must take care of your health." ”
The prince and the prince glanced at each other, Rui'er? It can't be the Rui'er of the Mo Xuan family, right?
They are all lost children, and they really don't know if there are wooden signs, so it's better to wait for them to stabilize and write to ask.
If so, that's great.
Now they don't dare to say, if not, the old man will experience another disappointment, I'm afraid he won't be able to stand it.
