Chapter 124: Brilliant Words
In the Nanyi camp, Du Ming firmly sits in the commander's tent.
After attacking for half a day, he did not gain a foothold on the wall, even if he had a cup of tea, in addition to the single method of siege, the important thing was that the Lingnan border army was brave and good at fighting.
"How are the casualties?"
"Report to the general, today's attack on the city was used to 25,000 soldiers, more than 2,000 killed and more than 4,000 injured."
Du Ming said in a deep voice: "Our army suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, and his Dong Polu's losses will not be too small. He ordered the soldiers of the three armies to rest quickly, make meals at the beginning of the day and attack the city at noon."
The generals were retreated, and only Du Ming and a middle-aged general were in the tent.
“How is it going?”
"Report to the general, it will be clear for up to five days."
"This matter is very important, don't leak the news, otherwise we will be the sinners of Nanyi for the ages."
---------------------------(I'm a dividing line)
Zhennan Pass, a sentry tower on the northern section of the city wall.
Looking into the distance, Dong Feng asked, "Brother, you said Nanyi is also a branch of the Chinese lineage, why can't we live in peace with us?"
"The world is like a big dining table. Beiyan, Xiliang and Nanzhao are naturally sitting on the largest chairs, but in addition to these three major forces, there are other slightly smaller forces such as Nanyi, Guxiang, and Liaodong. Although the chairs under their butts are not big, they all want to eat all the delicious food on the table into their own stomachs."
"Eat all in your stomach? They are not afraid of dying of death."
After this period of experience, Qingyan's mind has long been different from the past and his vision is even more good. He said, "Don't worry about whether he can die or not, at least he can eat it in his stomach and enjoy it. Besides, when the founding emperor of Nan Zhao was the founding emperor of Nan Zhao, he was just a prefect of a county at the beginning of the east and west battles. His strength was far inferior to Nanyi, but he still conquered half of the country."
"So how can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed? What's more, you're sleeping like a tiger. Maybe you'll go south to bite a piece of meat. How could you not be afraid?"
"Of course I'm scared. Then according to your wishes, the war between us and Nanyi will continue endlessly?" Dong Yan looked serious.
"Only in this way, the two northern countries can be defeated, and the Nanyi Kingdom will be surrendered. Otherwise, without overwhelming power, Nanyi will never be honest."
Dong Jian sighed: "It's not easy, maybe we will never see it in our lifetime."
"I and Zhao Jing talked about similar things on the shore of Luoxi Lake. He said that we were born in a royal family. In addition to enjoying more wealth, we also shoulder more responsibilities, so we must do our best to make this day come as soon as possible."
Dong Yan remained silent when he heard this. As the son of the King of Lingnan, he would definitely guard Tiannan instead of his father in the future. If one day the world is peaceful, he really doesn't know what to do.
Qing Yan was nominally assisting the King of Lingnan to fight against Nanyi, so with his identity as a guest general, he would be much more free to move. He walked down the wall and walked towards the schoolyard. I wonder if Dong Zhao had a rest at this time.
When he walked into the wounded camp, the medical staff composed of the family of the border army and doctors from all over the country were very busy. The wounded soldiers screamed and moaned endlessly. Qingyan asked an old woman, "Auntie, do you know where Princess Nishang is?"
"I don't know, don't know." The old woman was about to leave, but she saw that Qingyan had no scars on her body. Then she handed the bucket to the other party, "See if you are young and strong, please send this bucket of water to the 28th tent in the north. My son was stabbed three times, but I don't know what's going on now."
Seeing the old woman leaving like this, Qingyan smiled bitterly. It seemed that her leather armor made the other party think that she was just an ordinary soldier. Despite her wry smile, Qingyan still picked up the bucket and walked towards the north.
The doctor in the tent handed over a basket of herbs, "Little brother, you can smash this medicine quickly, time is tight."
Without hesitation, Qingyan took the herbs and sat outside the tent and pounded it and flew it, and sent the medicine into it without a moment.
"Why is it so fast?" The doctor was a little surprised, but did not ask in detail. "He will wake up after applying this medicine. You must not let it break free."
"I understand."
Holding the injured soldier's thigh with both hands, Qingyan nodded to indicate.
"Ahhh!!!"
The other party was indeed awakened by pain, but Qingyan's hands were like two iron pliers, pressing his legs tightly.
After screaming a few times, he fainted again. The doctor wiped his sweat and said, "Little brother, you are pounding medicine so fast. Why not deal with it and send it to the thirteenth tent of Xiying for me."
I originally wanted to come and see Dong Zhao, but I thought I would become a member of this medical staff. I was busy in the injury camp all afternoon, and I didn't have a moment of rest until the night fell.
"This is the cleaned muslin, put them under the tent."
"Qingyan? Why are you here!"
Qingyan quickly took back the steps and looked at the person in the tent. Dong Zhaozheng looked at him with surprise.
"I almost broke my legs in order to find you." Qingyan walked into the tent with a wry smile.
"I don't know you will come, thank you for your hard work." Dong Zhao pulled Qingyan's hands with heartache, with gentle eyes,
"Since I'm here, I can't watch you work. If you have any questions here, I'll help you. Don't be polite, just speak."
Dong Zhao shook his head vigorously, "All the injured soldiers have been dealt with, and now there are only a few miscellaneous things left. You, a big man, can't do it."
"Since that's the case, I'll go back first. This time I'm here just to see you, there's nothing else."
There was a woman in the tent. Seeing that the princess was so warm with the handsome young man, she remembered her husband's words and walked out tactfully.
"Liu Gu, I'll just say something to him, you don't need to avoid it."
"The princess misunderstood. The private woman just felt a little hot. She just went out for some breathing." Liu Gu smiled and left a sentence, without stopping.
After being seen through by outsiders, Dong Zhao's pretty face turned slightly red, and he didn't dare to look at Qingyan's face again.
"Are your father and brother injured?" Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Dong Zhao quickly found the topic.
Qingyan sat on the simple wooden bed and replied: "The prince was unscathed, and Dong Yan was just scratched in his arm. It's okay."
"It's good that there is nothing to do, but this is only the first day. You must be careful when doing things. I don't want to see any of you here." At this point, Dong Zhao's voice choked.
Pull him to his side and sit down, Qingyan comforted him, "The fifty tiger guards who came with me are all brave soldiers. I ordered them to protect the prince at all times and there will be no trouble. As for Dong Yan, you don't have to worry. I will go to the northern section of Guancheng to help him defend the city tomorrow. You are not at ease if I am there?"
"But what about you? Who will protect you? If you have a few shortcomings, what should I do?"
"It seems that Zhao'er is afraid of becoming an old girl."
Dong Zhao burst into tears and laughed at the other party's chest, "It's good that you know. If you don't want me to be an old girl, you have to take good care of yourself and don't care too much about the agreement with your father. As long as I want to marry, he will not be able to stop him no matter what."
"How can that be done? I don't want my future father-in-law and Lingnan soldiers to underestimate me. If you don't lead you from Lingnan with glorious charm, you will regret it for life."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At noon the next day, Qingyan stood beside Dong Yan with a gun, and the crossbowman was waiting for him.
The enemy's advancement formation was the same as yesterday, and it was simple and crude and straight to the point. The same flying stones were like locusts and arrows were like rain.
The bloodthirsty eyes of the soldiers filled the city with blood, and the earth trembled, and the sound of killing sounds echoed between the sky and the earth again.
The wall is like a large meat grinder, endless devouring the living life of the wall, and tug each other for the wall that is only three or four feet wide.
I don’t know how many people he stabbed, but Qingyan was like a blood gourd, ruthlessly reaping the lives of the enemy. However, letting his martial arts be strong is only his own strength and cannot change the entire battle situation.
"Dong Yan! Your left hand is ten feet away!"
Dong Yan overturned several enemy troops with a halberd wheel and rushed to the east without looking back. He saw that the front line there was already in danger. Dozens of enemy troops had already formed a small round formation along the wall, and the enemy troops were constantly jumping off the ladder behind.
"Don't let them gain a foothold, kill them with me!"
Dong Yan was already red in his eyes and rushed towards the small round formation regardless of his safety.
Qingyan was guarding the westernmost end of the wall at this moment, which was the most dangerous and tragic place, and had no time to care about Dong Yan. He held up the six steel knives, and Qingyan suddenly raised his spear upwards, and the six enemy troops were overturned to the ground by this force.
The next moment, the sky wind blew across their throats, and blood gushed like a fountain.
"Split some people to help Dong Yan, he needs manpower!" Qing Yan yelled at a tooth general.
The tooth general did not hesitate and led a hundred people to the east.
With more than a hundred people missing, the pressure on the westernmost part of the wall increased greatly, but Qingyan was not afraid at all, and he was slow but firmly guarding the front.
The soldiers around him fell one by one, and the broken limbs and broken arms and unrecognizable corpses piled up here. Every step would step on the body that was still warm. The bright red blood flowed down the wall along the mercenary, and there was a scene of purgatory between heaven and earth.
Qingyan struggled to overturn the two enemy troops and helped up the young soldier who had been hit by several stabs, "Can you still move!"
"The villain can move!"
"If you can move, go down the wall. Before Nanyi monkey chops you up, you will dry your blood first!"
He threw it behind him, and Qingyan looked at the more and more enemy troops at the end of the wall, his face as iron as he looked.
"You guys took the headquarters to stand with me!" Hearing this, several Shi Zheng quickly summoned his soldiers.
"Listen, we are divided into three rows. I will lead ten people to stand in the first row and kill them. If someone falls down and makes up, no one is allowed to surpass my shoulders."
Dozens of people quickly stood in three rows, waiting for Qingyan's order.
"Care with me!"
"kill!!"
Qingyan took the lead and led the temporary formation to the end. When the enemy saw this, they rushed over with a strange howling.
"The general has fought hundreds of battles, and the tiger is defending the border!"
"My brothers, beat the drum and the bore!"
Every step of the small formation, more than a dozen enemy troops were killed under the knife. In addition to shooting the enemy, Qingyan whispered a poem that had been covered with dust for many years.
"Everyone is good at the gemao, and the armored soldiers are killed!"
"Run a horse and swing a stern to conquer all nations!"
The broken arm head was flying horizontally, and the blood and white plasma sprayed.
"Break the gold and break the waves, drink blood and laugh wildly,"
"Qizuo Emperor, Black Ball Yangyang"
"How come you say you have returned, how come you have returned!"
"Life and death are boundless, and glory is bounded in all directions!"
Just a poem, the small formation has reached its end. Qingyan looked back and saw only six or seven people left by his side.
The only surviving Shi Chang brushed the corners of his eyes and laughed loudly: "Your Highness, what did you read just now? Although I don't understand it very much, I always feel that my blood is rushing toward my head."
