Chapter 5 Men Have Tears
"War Mania...... War Maniac ......"
I don't know who shouted, as if it resonated in the hearts of the Ming soldiers, and the passion of the moment completely exploded.
"War Maniacβ"
"War Mania-War Mania-War Mania-War Mania-"
The people in the "death camp" are death row prisoners with no dignity in the eyes of others, and even lowly pigs. But on the battlefield, it has always been a place for heroic men to sway their blood. Here, there is no discrimination, as long as you are not afraid of death, then you will be fearless, here, there is no contempt, as long as you have blood and pride, the soldiers will cry out for you!
At this moment, Yue Fan won the respect of the soldiers as a death row prisoner. This kind of treatment, even the winter rain they have never enjoyed.
......
"Haha-"
Mo Zheng, who was in the distance, saw such a scene, and a smile appeared on his face: "War madness is always unpredictable, even if he is defeated this time, the momentum of our army will not be affected in the slightest, but will increase greatly." As long as they wait for the iron and blood to act, when the time comes, the inside and the outside should be united, then the city will be destroyed. β
Ren Xiangjun and the others on the city wall now have extremely ugly faces, and the thirty "wind and sand" dead soldiers are now five dead and three wounded, while the other party only fights one person. If this is known by other city lords, I am afraid that I will not believe that the other party is just a nobody.
Shen Tiance said: "Sha King, what do you think is good now? If it drags on like this, I'm afraid our army will be demoralized." β
Ren Xiangjun was furious in his heart, and scolded: "What a 'wind and sand' dead soldier, a group of fucking waste!", and then said to Shen Tiance: "Let them fight for their lives, I want to see how long that white-haired boy can support it." β
"Yes!"
......
Just as Shen Tiance waved the flag, a guard in the rear hurriedly ran over and said, "Sand King, there is an enemy army raiding Shacheng, and now the grain depot and weapons depot are on fire. β
"What?!Who did it?" Ren Xiangjun was taken aback.
The guard hurriedly said: "According to the subordinates, the leader is the white-clothed death row prisoner of the 'death camp'. β
"What!?"
Shen Tiance put down the order flag and stepped forward quickly: "Impossible! The white-clothed prisoners of the 'death camp' are all here, how could it be them! Unless...... Unless the 'Iron Will' and the others below are all pretending!"
"Oh no! They must have already calculated, we have to prepare immediately. Ren Xiangjun suddenly thought of something: "Tiance, you immediately bring someone to assist in the defense, and I will command here." When necessary, retreat to the rear. β
"Subordinates take orders!"
......
Mo Zheng saw the fireworks in Shacheng from a distance and knew that Dongyu had already begun to act. So he said to the generals beside him: "Pass the order and start the siege battle, if anyone's team breaks through the sand city pass first, each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!"
"Boom-"
"Knock ......"
"Knock ......"
As soon as the drums of war sounded, all the soldiers were immediately on standby.
"Attack!"
With an order, all the soldiers lined up and swarmed up, and the first to bear the brunt was the death ring.
......
"Tired, so tired...... Am I really going to die here? My father will not forgive me for being so weak...... But I really want to take a break, even if it's for a while......"
"No...... I can't rest now, my father is still waiting for me to go back, Grandpa Wan and Xiaoya are still waiting for me, I promised them, how can I be so irresponsible...... Li Yuefan, are you still a man?ah......" Yue Fan asked himself desperately in his heart, at this time, his physical strength had reached the limit of bearing, if it weren't for his tenacious perseverance, supporting his sore body to resist desperately, I am afraid that he would have died under the knife.
Looking at the enemies around him, Yue Fan's consciousness gradually blurred, and the white expanse in front of him was blank, except for constantly waving the knife, he no longer had any thoughts.
At this moment, there was a burst of thunder and drums in his ears, and Yue Fan's spirit perked up: "Start attacking the city? Anyway, it's better to die!" Then he changed his knife style and attacked with all his might.
Although the "Furious Battle Style" is not the strongest attack in "Seven Styles of Sword Fighting", it is the fiercest in group battles. I saw that Yue Fan's sword momentum changed, and after blocking the enemy's attack, he immediately counterattacked and began a crazy attack. The sudden change made the formation of the dead soldier of "Wind and Sand" stagnate, giving him a momentary gap.
"Zi!" Yue Fan's knife passed through the neck of a dead soldier, and he himself was stabbed several times in the back.
As the soldiers swarmed up, the formation of the "Wind and Sand" dead soldiers was immediately dispersed, after all, there were too few of them, and there was no chance to show them in front of the army of many ants.
"It's so quiet...... Is it all over?"
Without pressure, Yue Fan's nerves suddenly relaxed, and he felt that his surroundings suddenly quieted down, and he watched the soldiers who came slowly fall, and then he didn't know anything......
After a month's rest, Shacheng finally ushered in another war.
Ren Xiangjun ordered people to put down the oil of fire, and Shachengguan was once again surrounded by a sea of fire.
But the sea of fire under the city still could not stop the morale of the soldiers from attacking......
"The boss has an order, if anyone's team breaks through the Sand City Pass first, each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!"
......
"Bump!"
The gates were slammed open, and the soldiers shouted to storm the gates.
There are mountains of corpses under the walls......
The blood in the city is left into a river......
Under the cooperation of Dongyu and others, the impregnable Shacheng Pass was finally breached.
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are not only imposing, but also have a strong attack power, and more than 100,000 people at the same time to perform the "Seven Styles of Sword Fighting" is really terrifying, and the sky is full of sword shadows covering the hope in the hearts of the judges.
......
Ren Xiangjun and the rest of the party were rescued by his reinforcements, and now they are fleeing in the northeast direction, please make a decision. One of the guards said.
"Haha-"
Mo Zheng smiled and said, "Okay...... Poor Kou Mo chased, ordered all soldiers to settle in Shacheng, and cleaned up the battlefield. β
"Yes!"
At this point, Shacheng was finally controlled by the Ming army, and next, a new war was about to begin.
......
ββββββββββββ inside the Imperial Castle of Kyoto, above the central hall.
Chongzhen and the ministers were discussing state affairs, and suddenly a eunuch who had delivered a message knelt outside the hall and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the messenger outside the door has 800 miles of military information, which is a great victory in the border wilderness." β
"Oh!" Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Spread it quickly." β
"Yes. β
......
After a while, a soldier came up to the palace, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the border is a great victory, Marshal Mo Zheng has captured Shacheng, and the army has been stationed in the city, this is the military report." As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his bosom.
The eunuch took the letterhead and examined it carefully, and then handed it to Chongzhen.
Chongzhen took the letterhead, opened it and looked at it, and immediately frowned.
This victory should have been a great joy, but seeing the dignified face of the emperor, the important ministers also secretly speculated in their hearts.
After a while, Chongzhen rubbed his eyebrows and said tiredly: "That's the end of today, you guys should retreat first!"
......
Late at night, in the Imperial Study.
Chongzhen said: "Now that Mo Zheng has captured Shacheng, I don't know what Taifu thinks?"
Heng Shan said: "The emperor doesn't have to worry, although the sand city is broken, it is not an overnight thing to calm the border wilderness, and we still have a lot of time." Moreover, the people of the Mo family are all under surveillance now, and he will not be desperate. All we need now is to appease the soldiers in the border wilderness. β
Chongzhen nodded and said, "What Taifu said is reasonable, then the reward will be handled by you!"
"Yes!"
......
After Hengshan left, a person walked out of the dark corner of the study, wearing a black robe and a black scarf on his head, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly.
Chongzhen relaxed his brows and said slowly, "Yue'er, how are they doing now?"
The black-robed humane: "The third princess and the little princess are playing in Jiangnan and are doing well!"
Chongzhen nodded and said with relief: "Then I will be relieved...... But tell them that there can't be any slack, you know?"
"Yes, my lord. β
Chongzhen continued: "You have to pay more attention to the newly rising forces on the rivers and lakes, now is the era of the stormy meeting, we must take advantage of all opportunities, we can win." β
"Yes. β
"There you go. β
"Yes. β
......
ββββββββββββ Barren Sand City on the border of the city, after years of military famine, has long become deserted and uninhabited, and the only thing left is the dilapidated houses here. But because this is a fortress city in the border wilderness, Ren Xiangjun and others have been stationed here.
The flames of fighting in Sand City have been extinguished for three days, and the city is still a scene of jubilation. The soldiers trained during the day, and at night they drank and ate meat around the fire.
Night......
In the commander's camp, Mo Zhenggao sat first, Ning Yuanqi sat aside, and below were the generals of each battalion.
Mo Zheng first said: "What is the situation of each battalion now?"
A lean general stepped forward and said respectfully: "One battalion, 80,000 infantry, 1,520 killed. With that, he stepped back.
Then another general stepped forward and said, "The second battalion, with 20,000 swords and axes, has killed 1,330 people. β......
"Three battalions, 20,000 archers, 580 killed. β......
"Four battalions, 30,000 cavalry, 860 killed. β......
"Five Battalions ......"
"Six Battalions ......"
......
Finally, Yu Liang stepped forward and said: "'Death Battalion', 8,000, 5,800 people died in battle, and due to the replenishment of death row prisoners from all over the country, there are now more than 4,000 people left. After speaking, he looked at Mo Zheng.
According to statistics, more than 20,000 people were killed and wounded in this siege, and it has to be said that the war was ruthless and cruel.
Mo Zheng groaned slightly, and said: "This siege is much better than I expected, after all, Shacheng is a fortress, it can only be attacked to the death, it is not easy to exchange so few deaths for such a big victory." You go down to appease everyone, draw up a list of the dead and report it to the court, and I believe that it will not be long before the court will send people to reward the soldiers of the army......
Also, which of your teams was the first to break through the city?"
A burly and tall general stepped forward, straightened his chest, and said loudly: "Returning to the commander, it is the subordinate team, the second battalion of sword and axemen." β
Mo Zheng smiled and nodded: "Okay! The soldiers of the second battalion are really brave. Pass on my words, your team, each of you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and it will be distributed together when the court rewards you. β
"Thank you, Boss!"
Mo Zheng said to Yu Liang again: "Now that we have established ourselves in the border wilderness, it is necessary to improve the life of the 'death camp', since they will also be a member of us in the future, then we can't be too harsh, you can handle this matter!"
"Yes! β
......
"That's right!"
After a detailed discussion, Mo Zheng suddenly asked, "How is the war maniac now?"
Yu Liang said: "The military doctor said that he just fainted from his strength, and he can recover as long as he breathes well, but I don't know why he hasn't woken up yet." β
Mo Zheng nodded and said, "You find someone to take good care of him, and notify me as soon as he wakes up." β
"Yes!"
"Okay, you go down to rest first, Yu Liang brought the three of Dongyu here. β
"Yes!" ......
After the generals left, Ning Yuan said: "If the boss wants to leave the 'iron blood', I'm afraid it's impossible." β
Mo Zheng frowned and said, "I also know that they have strong personalities, but how can I know if I don't try." β
Ning Yuanqi smiled slightly when he heard this.
......
ββββββββ" See the manager. β
Dongyu stepped forward and said, "I don't know what the boss asked me to wait for?"
Mo Zheng said with a smile: "This siege, the three of them should be the first to take the lead, otherwise the loss will be difficult to measure." β
Dong Yu said with a cold face: "You should be more grateful to those who died in battle." β
Mo Zheng didn't mind Dongyu's tone, but nodded: "Iron Blood is right, I deeply regret the dead warriors." But I've already arranged to appease their families and do my part. I'm calling you here today mainly to know if you have the answer in mind?"
Everyone was stunned, Dongyu pondered for a moment, and said quietly: "I can't stay, I have to go, I still have very important things to complete, since the coach knows about us, I believe you also understand our feelings!"
"It's the same with us. Xu Jie and Huang Zhenfeng said at the same time.
Mo Zheng couldn't help choking when he heard this, and said in his heart: "Since you can't keep them, why don't you sell your favor, at least they will be grateful, and they can't say that they will be able to use it one day." β
Thinking of this, Mo Zheng laughed and said: "Of course I know your affairs, since you want to do your own thing, then I won't force you." But I'm here to welcome you back. β
"I've waited to thank the coach!"
Mo Zheng sighed and said, "Anyway, you will have to leave sooner or later, so I decided to let you go earlier." β
"Really?" Xu Jie hurriedly asked.
Mo Zheng smiled: "Of course it's true. In the past three and a half years, you have also made countless contributions to our army, so I should naturally let you leave earlier. You were among the first to leave the "death camp". Hehe......"
Xu Jie jumped and said excitedly: "Great." We can finally get out of this hellish place, haha......"
Although Dong Yu and Huang Zhenfeng's faces remained unchanged, they were excited in their hearts.
"I can finally leave, I've been waiting for more than three years, three years! Luoxin, are you okay now?" Dongyu sighed in his heart.
......
After a while, Mo Zheng asked, "When do you want to leave?"
"Tomorrow. Dongyu and the others said in unison.
Mo Zheng was stunned again and said, "So urgent?"
Xu Jie also said to Dongyu: "Yes, will it be too urgent." We haven't said goodbye to Yue Fan yet. β
Dongyu said lightly: "Sooner or later, it's better to leave, if there is fate, he will see you again one day." β
Xu Jie and Huang Zhenfeng looked at Dongyu and nodded. said in unison: "Thank you for your kindness today, we will remember it." β
ββββββββββββ the next day......
Outside Shacheng Pass, countless soldiers stood on the city wall, watching Dongyu and the others leave, with respect in their eyes. After all, they were the first to leave the "death battalion", and from then on they were no longer lowly prisoners, but valiant warriors. Seeing this scene, it seems to bring a little more hope to the people of the "death camp" in the dark world.
......
On the road to the south of the border wilderness, Dongyu and the others have already galloped more than 300 miles on horseback, but they still keep hurrying on the road, eager to fly to the place they want to go, three years is not a long time, maybe it is just a hazy moment for the children. But three years of longing and waiting are endless torture. It not only leaves people with traces of time, but also keeps eroding the persistence in your heart. This is why Dongyu and others have survived three years, but they can't survive this moment, maybe this is the fetters in their hearts.
......
Outside the North Gate.
Dongyu looked at Xu Jie and Huang Zhenfeng, and said, "At the turn of three years, we have always said goodbye." But life and death brothers, I will always remember in my heart. β
Xu Jie's heart was sour, tears slipped down unconsciously, and then wiped them vigorously, and laughed: "Damn, I have never shed horse urine for so many years, but I didn't think that I would be a soft egg today." What a fucking bastard......"
Huang Zhenfeng's eyes were also ruddy, he endured the pain of parting, and squeezed out a smile and said: "Although we will go our separate ways from today onwards, I believe that we will meet one day." Every July, I will go up to the top of Mount Tai and wait for you, as long as you live, then you must go. β
Xu Jie clapped his hands and said, "Good idea! Even if I die, ask someone to carry my body up." β
Dong Yu nodded lightly and said, "As long as I am alive, I will definitely go to you." β
As the atmosphere eased, everyone's hearts were less depressed.
Xu Jie laughed and said: "What happened to you left alone last time? Why did you come back with a slap mark on your face? You would rather be stabbed than humiliated!"
Huang Zhenfeng also said: "Yes, according to my observation, the fingers on your face are thin and long, you should be a woman, and you are a beautiful woman." β
Dongyu was stunned for a moment, and said casually: "How do you know?"
"What?" Xu Jie exclaimed: "Oh my God! What a woman? Oh! Our iron and blood were actually beaten by a woman! It can't be that the sky is going to change!" Immediately, he asked Huang Zhenfeng stupidly: "By the way, how do you know that you kid is a beautiful woman?"
Huang Zhenfeng laughed strangely and said: "When he came back, he was holding his breath, and there was a faint fragrance on his body, this kind of elegant fragrance would not be found by vulgar women." Hey, hey!"
For the first time, Dongyu felt that Huang Zhenfeng's observation was so annoying.
"Looking for a fight!"
Winter Rain roared and scuffled with them.
Recalling the situation at that time, the corners of Dongyu's mouth turned slightly. Xin said: "What a savage and lovely girl, but the border is so chaotic, alas, ......"
Shaking his head, Dong Yu pushed the rest of his thoughts to the back of his mind, and then said seriously: "Let's go!"
Xu Jie and Huang Zhenfeng's bodies were shocked, nodded slightly, and looked at each other.
I remember that more than three years ago, when I first arrived at the "death camp", I did not have enough food and clothing, and lived in killing and war all day long. Such a painful life seems like yesterday.
Over the years, the three of them have supported each other, been stabbed together on the battlefield, killed the enemy together, experienced countless tribulations, and finally waited until today.
How can people not miss the past. The words in my heart were all kinds of words, but I couldn't express the attachment of parting, and everyone chose to be silent......
"Let's go!"
The three of them jumped on their horses at the same time and resolutely left in different directions......
"After many years of killing, my heart has not been cold, and today I am full of parting. Iron blood is not as good as a man's tears, and he meets his brother again. Brothers...... You cherish it!"
The three of them stepped on the dust, and only the sonorous and distant sound of horses' hooves echoed outside the city gate.
Who said that men have no tears?
......
