Riding the Pheonix Chapter 423: War
That night, Zong Xu didn't sleep much.
When the scouts brought back the news, he discussed countermeasures with the generals in front of the map.
It wasn't until he decided on a plan to attack the city that he washed his face and slept in his clothes.
It’s almost the third update at this time.
Within less than two hours of sleep, the Huotou army buried the pot to cook, and then set off as a whole army.
All the generals of the Yang family were transferred to the front line, but Mingwei and Ning Xiu were left behind.
Yang Shu said this: "I know you are all masters, but fighting between two armies is different from fighting for victory. And you have more powerful skills. Instead of attacking the city with us, it is better to play a greater role. ”
Ming Wei was convinced that in matters like war, she and Ning Xiu would not play as big a role as those generals if they were tied together. They gathered together and formed a battle formation, just like a meat grinder, killing as many as they came.
"Don't just talk about us, it's the same for you. The armor is on, the sword has no eyes, so be careful."
Yang Shu smiled, with a bit of pride on his face: "Do you think I only know how to swordsmanship? Growing up, what my grandparents taught me the most was equestrianism and marksmanship."
As he said that, Ah Xuan had already brought his armor and spear.
Yang Shu held the gun and sighed with emotion: "This gun is my grandfather's weapon. I have fought with him on the battlefield for decades, and it has been stained with the blood of countless enemies. I thought I had no chance to use it. ”
He once complained about why his grandparents taught him so much when they knew that his status was embarrassing. It was only now that he realized their feelings.
Even if there is no chance, being a useful person is a happy thing in itself.
Besides, wouldn’t it be useful now?
The amazing thing about life is that no one knows what will happen in the future. I originally thought that the mountains and rivers were exhausted, and the night was dark, but I couldn't tell when the willows would turn dark and the flowers would light up, and the sky would break.
When he put on his armor, he found that the proud and arrogant young man was gone, replaced by a heroic young general.
He bid them farewell.
"I will be careful, and you should also pay attention to Liu Ya in the rear. We will meet again in the evening after the city pass is captured."
In the distance, the order to assemble had been passed down. Without waiting for Ah Xuan to urge him, he turned over, looked at Yun Zuo, and rode away.
Mingwei looked at his leaving figure, but heard Ning Xiu say: "I thought I was indulging him, waiting for him to fail and give up one day, and then take him away so that I can fulfill the master's legacy. . It turns out that I was wrong, and this is his true return."
Ming smiled: "It's not easy to hear your husband admit his mistake."
Ning Xiu shook his head: "If I can let him get what he wants, it doesn't matter if I admit defeat. Now think about it, Master's death is just a helpless choice, and Master himself doesn't want to use it."
Mingwei couldn't help but think of the sword **** in his memory.
In his life, he was alone and wandering around the world. Seeing that people are dead, families are ruined, and countries are destroyed, all they can do is to run thousands of miles alone with a single sword, kill thousands of troops, and take the head of the enemy commander.
And in this way, I just paid tribute to the dead souls and comforted myself.
You can't change your destiny, let alone the situation of the country. In the end, you can only guard the great formation in Mang Mountain, waiting for that slim chance of life.
If this is his future, what's the danger now? At least he's fighting for his destiny.
The evil star.
I just hope that this time, he will no longer have to be associated with these four words.
……
The siege on the gravel **** started before dawn.
They were lucky enough to find the defenders who were not completely killed. Under the leadership of these people, they launched a decisive battle with the Hu people.
Zong Xu sent out troops in an emergency this time. He originally only brought 5,000 troops, but he had lost some due to snow disasters earlier. It can be said that they have no room for failure in this battle.
Once defeated, the remaining troops and horses may not be able to organize an efficient attack without keeping up with the logistics and military supplies. The longer time passes, the worse it will be for them. Eventually, their morale will be exhausted, and they will be destroyed.
They can all see these things, let alone Zong Xu.
But watching the northwest army assign siege tasks in an orderly manner, Mingwei couldn't help but sigh: "A famous general is a famous general after all."
Ning Xiu was speechless.
Neither he nor Mingwei participated in the battle, but watched the battle on the hillside behind.
In fact, they were just watching the battle by the way. At the moment, the two of them were sitting on the baggage truck and doing carpentry with a machete.
Make the parts one by one and put them together. Although it looks ugly, the prototype can already be seen.
This is a bird, a big flying bird that can be ridden by people.
"This can really fly?" Ning Xiu was confused.
Ming Wei said: "Hasn't Sir seen Xuanfei's big bird?"
Of course Ning Xiu has seen it. When Yang Shu was imprisoned, he relied on this thing to smuggle out.
It’s just that it’s amazing to see how this thing is made.
"This is just a kind of mechanism technique, like a wooden cow and a horse, but it needs to be inspired by spiritual talismans. Spiritual talismans are not easy to make, and it is not easy to promote this thing. If you want to send soldiers and horses out, you can only send people to spread the news or something. ”
After saying that, Mingwei felt a little disgusted: "Sir, your hands are beautiful, why do you make something so ugly?"
Ning Xiu said expressionlessly: "Sorry~IndoMTL.com~I never learned."
This battle is destined to be tragic.
The Northwest Army has no retreat, and the same goes for those barbarians.
Su Tu's cavalry is right behind. If they cannot occupy the gravel slope, they will encounter a more ferocious pursuit on the way out, and there will be no chance of survival at all.
Whenever Mingwei thinks of Su Tu, who planned all this, a chill comes out of his bones.
There are always some people in this world who are capable of things that others cannot. She originally used these words to persuade Yang Shu, but now she deeply understands the horror of it.
After the initial trial and charge, in the end there was only **** killing.
On the battlefield, life is not life, and people are not people.
Zong Xu issued a heavy reward order, and the Hu people have always had a tradition of judging military merit by using their heads. As a result, scenes like this can be seen everywhere. Whether it is Qi Jun or Hu Qi, they chop down an opponent, cut off the opponent's head and tie it to their waist, and then continue to fight.
Mingwei shook his head: "These barbarians are still not good at defending the city!" He was deceived by Zong Xu so easily and fought against each other.
When she received no response, she turned her head and saw Ning Xiu's blue face. She couldn't help but find it interesting: "Sir, are you scared?"
Ning Xiu frowned and said, "It's too bloody."
He has killed people before, but the cruelest scene he has ever seen is nothing more than the killing of more than a hundred people when killing bandits.
"This is not bloody." Ming Wei said lightly, "At least they are all sergeants, people who are supposed to kill as their profession. What is even more cruel is to treat civilians as human animals and trample and kill them."
Ning Xiu gave her a strange look: "You have seen it before."
Countless scenes flashed before Mingwei's eyes, and every scene was nauseating.
She said slowly: "I have seen it."
