Extra Story 3 Hero's Dream (Part 2)
Under the cold wind, the soldiers who were yelling outside the capital were all weak and had long lost the energy of the first days. They were all loud voices carefully selected from the army, and they could swear countless swear words in different ways. So although their combat power was mediocre, they also had a good status in the army. But who knew that they would die if they just stood up to yell and fight!
I still remember the first time when they lined up under the city to fight. Because they were two hundred steps away, they thought that whether it was a catapult, a crossbow, or a sharp arrow, even if the range was within reach, it was difficult to hurt them. But who would have thought that a strong arrow crossed a distance of two hundred steps and directly nailed the person with the loudest voice among them to the ground, followed by the second and third ones!
At this time, someone realized a problem later. Legend has it that after the so-called escape from Nanwu and returned to Beiyan, King Xiao Rong recruited the remnants of the Shengong Sect who had escaped from Shangjing. With such a group of sharp shooters, Xiao Rong was able to stabilize the base camp. After that, he joined the Zonglian and the fact that he was actually colluded with Nanwu, he finally gained a foothold.
But no matter what, after the five people died, the soldiers who were swearing and war had to retreat three hundred steps away. This was not because they cherished their lives, but because the generals above were worried that the many people swearing and war would die, which would really hurt their morale, so they were put at a relatively safe distance. But even so, it was difficult for their voices to reach such a long distance from the city wall.
In other words, pulling the throat open is futile! Although it is better than those soldiers who have to siege the city and die, it is impossible for these swearing swearers who have already been tortured to the limit to keep their energy alive for so many days.
It was almost sunset at this moment. The two exhausted men retreated. Seeing their companions taking over their errands with bitter faces, their throats were hoarsely cursing at what others would definitely not hear. After drinking a few big sips of cold water, they muttered softly.
After cursing the people in the city who were hiding in the turtle shell, their topic gradually turned to the rumors that a nine-year-old man persuaded him to surrender for several days.
"This is too evil. Many of them are heroes who dominate the country. They were so lightly and easily said to be surrendered by a young boy. Is it true? Could it be the fake news released by the King of Jin Xiao Rong?"
"Didn't you notice the atmosphere in the military camp these days? If it was fake news, would those people be so panicked? Look, they probably will withdraw their troops in a few days. Let me tell you a piece of news that others don't know. The troops in Rongcheng, the base camp of King Xiaorong, went to fight Jin, Xiaorong, and the old general who went there was no way back. The great success king behind him... was overturned."
The two men whispered and said for a long time. Just as they were about to go back to rest, they suddenly heard a burst of shouts coming into the sky from the city. Then, the drums of war sounded and the horns were connected to the sky. At that moment, after all, they had experienced a little battle formation and their hearts were stuttering.
Did he actually attack in the capital?
What was even more shocked and angry than the only two soldiers were the generals in this coalition. After receiving the news from their master, they were in a difficult situation and privately discussed with their own people when they would withdraw their troops and then pushed their allies to block the disaster. However, no one thought that Zhen Rong wanted to suppress the city defense army in the city and train the so-called Ping An army refugees, and would have the ability to attack.
Moreover, even though the catapult and crossbows once made it hard to raise their heads, the ants attacked the city even climbed the city wall for a while, but there were no rash attacks in the city, which made the ambush that the coalition forces had prepared long ago useless.
Even though spies emerged from the coalition later, a sudden fire burned down many siege equipment and even the granary was affected, those were just dead soldiers.
How could the people in the city attack now and how dare they attack? Is it because they got some news? Or... they knew that the coalition forces could not last long? And why didn’t they attack the stolen camp at night, but attack at sunset?
However, when the generals who received the news quickly issued orders, they found a fact that shocked them all. It seemed that it was not as good as stealing the secrets of the camp at night, but at this moment, the soldiers were preparing for dinner everywhere in the camp. Except for the soldiers who were originally placed outside just in case, the other soldiers were either hungry or had just eaten something. The most important thing is that from top to bottom, they had no intention of fighting!
No one expected that the soldiers and horses in the city would come out!
Yan Xu, who was the first to take the long sword, was not so used to it, and his eyes were quite flickering. Although Xuan Daotang was better at fighting in the field, he was naturally skilled in riding since he was a child. His master, Master Yun, had taught him a lot of key points of horse fighting, but this was the first time he fought seriously.
Faces of relatives and friends flashed like a lantern in front of him, and finally the picture was frozen in Yue Qianqiu, who was full of unhappiness. Then, the picture was very roughly squeezed away by another person, but it turned out that Yue Xiaosi was glaring at him.
"Just as I stole your way, you have said this many times, I'm sorry for you, can I recognize you as a hero, can I think I've always been so glorious outside? I almost died several times! If time goes back more than ten years now, I will definitely go directly to Beiyan to go to Beijing to get Ping'an away. As for other things, whoever loves to do it will do it!"
"A Xu, listen to me, don't show off! Especially with a group of little guys who scream and show off! If something really happens, you will regret it! I thought at the beginning that there are three brothers at home, and I'm fine, but now you have a wife and a son. You don't want Qianqiu to go, why do you have to go by yourself?"
The ears seemed to be still echoing Yue Xiaosi's dissuasion. Yan Xu suddenly smiled, clamped his legs and rushed forward to catch up with the two people, which appeared slightly behind the horse's body to Zhen Rong's right. He grabbed the hilt tightly and murmured in an extremely low voice: "Xiao Si, why don't you understand, who has been a hero? Men always have a hero dream that they can't get rid of!"
"In my life, the most willful thing is not running away from home, but this time!"
When Zhen Rong heard this emotion-like voice, she turned her head and looked at Yan Xu, who was obviously already showing fanatical murderous aura. After all, she swallowed the words to her mouth. Of course, he knew who Yan Xu was talking about. Since he learned about his adoptive father's identity, he felt that the world was extremely absurd. Moreover, for him, the word "hero" was already very far away.
Many people cheered and praised him, as if he was a great hero, but only he knew that he was just a mortal who struggled desperately. The only difference was probably because his heart was not edified by blood and fire. When he saw innocent people dead and injured, he still felt uncomfortable, that's all.
Seeing the sparse arrows shooting towards them, and seeing the panicked enemies not far away, the broad-blade sword in Zhen Rong's hand had already risen high, and a shout that seemed to have been storming in his heart for a long time had already been released.
"kill!"
With the word "kill", the speed of the horse army suddenly increased by more than 10%. Faced with such unexpected speedup of the horse army, a general who had finally managed to conquer the army in a hurry immediately changed his expression. However, he soon did not have to consider how to deal with it, because almost instantly, a long arrow pierced straight into his face.
"Senior Brother Qing is so good!" The little monkey shouted happily, but all he received was a low shut-up. He stopped embarrassedly. Seeing that the next generation of the leader of the Nanwu Shengong Sect who was designated in the Nanwu Shengong Sect, he would definitely fall to the ground with every string sound. He couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, thinking that if he had known this, he should have suggested that all the Shengong Sect accompany him.
Anyway, except for Ling Zhu'er, those disciples of the Shengong Sect who had defected to Beiyan with Xu Houcong have already defected to Senior Brother Zhen?
But this idea only stayed in his mind for a moment, because the little monkey had no time to think about these things. As he broke into the enemy formation, he saw countless weapons greeting him.
If he hadn't experienced several moments of life and death on the city wall, he wouldn't even know where to go to. Even though it was not the first time he had been in battle, he still shook instinctively until a spear was swept away, sweeping his opponent and another enemy beside him.
"Ah, thank you Brother Mu!" Seeing Mu Ran, who had already carried the bow and arrow on his back, he saw someone stabbing like a dragon, and after he rescued him, he didn't have time to pay attention to him anymore. The little monkey called out and woke up as if he had just dreamed.
Finally entering the state, he was like a flexible fish swimming in the sea, with people and horses rushing left and right in the battle formation. The obviously ordinary steel knife penetrated into the gaps of the enemy's weapons again and again, and then he gently slashed in some parts. His skillful technique was very light, and at first glance it seemed like he was tickling.
It is the seemingly powerless or gentle knife that often only causes a very inconspicuous wound, so that those enemies do not take the injury seriously. When they suddenly become weak and weak after continuing to fight, they never realize what the problem is.
Zhen Rong, who had not forgotten Zhou Gu's companion during his busy schedule, finally discovered this. After he led the generals to completely penetrate the enemy formation, he adjusted his pace a little, and prepared to launch a second charge. Then he said hello and the monkey returned to him, and then asked quietly: "You kid are still so cunning, aren't you injured?"
"It's OK!" The little monkey's face was covered with blood, but his eyes were shockingly lit. "It's all the blood of others, but I don't have mine. It's a pity that I killed so many people but failed to cut off anyone's head. The decapitation skills are gone... Alas, if you want to say this, no one can match General Yan!"
At this time, a fight had just ended. The teenagers were hurriedly checking their respective injuries and counting whether anyone had been in the enemy formation forever in the previous battle. When they heard the little monkey regretting, they didn't know who took the lead and laughed. For a moment, laughter came one after another.
Although no one has the time to calculate how many people he killed, Yan Xu, who has several bloody heads hanging on his horse's head, undoubtedly brings the greatest impact on people!
The laughter also infected other cavalry around. Even though there were less than 300 people together, the laughter seemed to shock the birds and their morale was extremely exciting.
Zhen Rong was able to recruit refugees into an army in a short time, but the army and horses in the city were limited. Even if those refugees could ride and shoot, he had no intention of taking this group of mobs. As for the tactics such as the Fire Bull Formation, he did not take them out at this moment, but seemed to be too arrogant and forced to rush forward with these three hundred horses.
Because he knew that even if they were unstoppable, the enemy would definitely be lucky enough to wipe them out!
Zhen Rong glanced at Yan Xu, who was rubbing his wrists, and saw that there were several gaps the size of rice grains on the long sword made by the steel. Thinking of Yan Xu's murder scene just now, even he couldn't help but feel a little palpitation. At this moment, he heard the little monkey yelling.
"The enemy is coming!"
The noise in the coalition commander's tent has lasted for a long time. Although a group of troops were urgently allocated, the bad news that they were defeated or defeated was often followed. The personal soldiers only saw their respective chief generals roaring in anger and did not know how much they had smashed. The temporary chief coach who was promoted to the public in the main position was extremely gloomy.
"Damn it, is King Xiao Rong of Jin a good man a slap? Even if he has three heads and six arms, we will pile him to death even if we use people!"
"You go and pile it up? If I remember correctly, your army collapsed the fastest!"
"You dare to say, whose soldiers have the most deserters?"
"Have you made enough troubles? All six soldiers have been pulled up, but they are just destroying each other! If they continue to argue like this, they will hit the handsome tent!"
After the interim coach, a veteran general who was previously elected to this position because of his respectedness or his old age, was scolded by the old man, the people who cursed finally calmed down. However, before everyone could urgently discuss a way to compromise, countless shouts suddenly came from the outside. Without anyone to give instructions, the personal soldiers hurried out to inquire about the truth.
When the personal soldier came back in a hurry, he saw that his face was twisted in fear, and he opened his mouth wide and shouted: "There are soldiers and horses coming straight into the back of the coalition forces. There are at least a few thousand people, so it is hard to see clearly!"
For the generals who were still arguing, this was simply a huge bad news. After the silence caused by extreme shock, the elderly coach couldn't help but slap the table and said, "Where are the detectives? Where are the whistle detectives? Can they all die?"
"Never came back... Because of the sudden attack of King Xiao Rong of Jin, no one could care about the provoy..."
In an instant, the silence of death appeared in the tent of the commander again. Soon, someone stood up and rushed out regardless of concern, and the second and third ones followed. But in a moment, the only one who was overcrowded and scolded each other was the elderly commander who was just overwhelmed by the tent of the commander who was criticized and abused each other was the elderly commander. Facing the panic-faced personal soldier, he couldn't help but sigh.
"The situation is over. Do your best and leave your destiny!"
Standing on the top floor of the observation deck that was once set up by the coalition forces but has now changed hands, looking at the battlefield where the victory and defeat are clear, Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but take a breath and muttered with gratitude: "I finally caught up!"
Xiao Jingxian, who was behind him, asked leisurely: "Since it was the reinforcements you moved in, why didn't you lead the troops to meet with Zhen Rong himself?"
"Is that my soldier?" Yue Qianqiu asked back without looking back, and then said angrily, "I don't have any experience in leading troops to kill the enemy, and they may not listen to me. If that's the case, why go to the battlefield to join in the fun? That's the killer move of the Sansi of the Great Wu to work hard in Beiyan. I, an outsider, don't command other people's insiders, just watch them win the battle!"
Speaking of this, he yawned casually, but his eyes were extremely clear: "A character like a hero is not suitable for me."
Xiao Jingxian smiled and leaned lazily on the wooden railing, not caring about the creaking sound at all. He never thought of being a hero, so he never cared about being a dishonest. He didn't expect that after many years, he would meet a boy with a very similar temper to him... No, it's not like him, because Yue Qianqiu is really not interested in making achievements!
