Xiao Mingye turned around and went down the city, and behind him was an endless fire, reflecting the sky and the earth red.He walked on the stairs as if he had stepped out of a fire, like a dream.I have to burn it, otherwise I really can't bear it, really.The Zhaonan people seemed to be unable to kill, they stepped on the corpses one by one and climbed up, one by one to the death, one after another, they couldn't finish killing, and if they continued like this, Jinya Pass was not far from being lost.But now, even if the corpses are burned, it may not help, they are too few in number, and there are too many opponents, and there is no end.Xiao Mingye took heavy steps, stepped down the stairs step by step, and came to the last Annan Army soldier step by step.The black smoke and the fire that rushed to the sky had already woken up many sleeping soldiers, and they looked at Xiao Mingye without speaking, and they didn't know what to say.In the fire, there are their robed brothers, and there are their closest relatives and friends!
There are even men who go into battle with fathers and sons, and their fathers are in the fire, or their sons are in the fire.It's not that they haven't thought of this method before, but they don't want to, the people of the Li Dynasty say that dust returns to dust, and soil returns to earth, even if they die in battle, they hope that the corpse will return to their hometown, bury it in the ancestral grave, and benefit future generations.But now many brothers have lost everything in the fire, and the ashes that are left may be intertwined with the Zhaonan people."
Do you hate me?"
Xiao Mingye sat on the ground, looking at the Annan soldiers in front of him who were not missing arms or legs, and finally asked this question.The fire was behind Xiao Mingye, and the soldiers of Annan were facing Xiao Mingye, because of the fire, they couldn't see Xiao Mingye's face clearly.But even if they couldn't see Xiao Mingye's face clearly, they still shook their heads firmly, and everyone was shaking their heads.They knew that Xiao Mingye's approach was right, and it was the most correct choice now.The pass will be broken, and it may drag on for an extra hour, that is, an hour, and they will definitely succeed in Cui Shuai's plan.Even if there is only the last Annan son, he will hold the Cui character handsome flag and block in front of the Zhaonan people."
I'm sorry."
Xiao Mingye lowered his head, no one could see his expression, but he could clearly see that there were water droplets sliding on the bluestone slab ground.Song Qishan sat in the crowd, he saw Xiao Mingye crying, and originally wanted to comfort a man who was the same age as himself, but was in a high position, but also carried a burden that he couldn't imagine.A veteran beside him grabbed him, Song Qishan turned his head in confusion, and the veteran shook his head at him and said: "Don't go, the general burned the bodies of his brothers with his own hands, he is really sad at the moment, his sorry is not to tell us, but to the robes who died in battle, just let him cry for a while, it'll be fine after crying."
Song Qishan sat back in place, looked at Xiao Mingye who was whimpering and sobbing, and said that men don't flick when they have tears, but who knows that the men in the border gate are tormented every minute, and the literati who said this sentence just didn't get to the sad place.The rest of the officers and soldiers of the Annan Army all looked at Xiao Mingye who was whimpering and sobbing, quietly, and no one spoke.They understand the general, but what about the guilt in the general's heart?
It can only be released by crying, washed with tears.The south wind is dashing, and the fire is shaking.The boy is on the battlefield, and the blood and tears are hard to disappear.Xiao Mingye is only twenty years old, and Cui Ze is the same age, they have only reached the year of their hometown as often said by Confucianism, in this twenty years old, unlike other people's hometown years, they can ride horses in the mountains, hunt rabbits, and be drunk in the land of green buildings, splashing ink.In the year of their origins, they bear the responsibility and burden that others can't bear in their lifetime, if Cui Ze is willing to do this because of the woman he likes, then he Xiao Mingye is really patriotic, loves this place, more than this land, he doesn't allow any foreigners to trample on this place with soldiers, not a single one!
But full of ambition, he finally went from a white horse soldier to a dignified Annan deputy general, with more than 10,000 troops in his hands, and did the step of his father, and let the Xiao family ascend to the home of military generals again!
But it's only been a few days since I took over the army, and there are more than 20,000 people, and there are only a few thousand people left, or even .........
He couldn't even keep their corpses, couldn't send the corpses of his comrades back to their hometowns, and let them be buried in peace, he was really disappointed in himself.Xiao Mingye's crying, accompanied by the explosion in the fire, rang out in the quiet Jinyaguan, his eyes swollen from crying, and his throat was dry from crying.When the tears finally ended, Xiao Mingye wiped away the tears, and people were still sobbing.He removed the water bladder and drank it all in one gulp.Song Qishan didn't know when he was already beside him, he took Xiao Mingye's water bladder, and said with a smile: "My subordinates are full for the general."
Saying that, he trotted away.Xiao Mingye finally felt more comfortable, and his whole state was better.He looked up, looked at the last general, and asked, "How many of us are left?"
General An Nanlang smiled bitterly, also took off the water bladder, took a sip, and said: "General, when the general was asleep, his subordinates ordered, and there were still more than 4,000 people, but there were 2,000 people who broke their legs, more than 1,000 people who broke their hands, and only a few hundred people who were really intact."
Xiao Mingye was silent, he had actually expected it, but after hearing it, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.After being silent for a long time, Xiao Mingye still spoke: "That's it, let's run away from the wounded soldiers, let the ones with broken hands carry the ones with broken legs, let's escape, why don't you stay and do the final struggle."
As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of laughter behind him, and Xiao Mingye didn't look back to know who it was."
General, although we are injured and have broken arms, we still have another arm, and both arms are gone, don't we still have mouths?
Anyway, if I don't escape, I will die in Jinyaguan, and if you want to come in, you must step on my Song Qishan's corpse!
”Xiao Mingye didn't speak, but the subordinates below all echoed it."
Yes, General, we don't have one arm, but we can still use the other, how can we escape, how can we retreat?""
General, we have no legs, we have difficulty moving, and we know that staying is also dragging oil bottles, but we don't want to retreat, we don't want to escape, we escape once is a lifetime, how will we face the old brother below in the future?
If we don't have legs, then we won't rush to kill, we'll stay in front of the trebuchet, we'll be in front of the eight-ox crossbow, and without legs, we'll have hands, and we can still fire!
By the way, there is also the banner of the Annan Army, we can raise the flag!
Definitely not let the flag fall!
”Xiao Mingye was still silent and did not speak.Song Qishan handed the water bladder back to Xiao Mingye, the smile on his face was still there, but his face was all black after the gunsmoke, which was a little funny."
Didn't we say that people can die, but we can't lose our teeth, we are Li Chao Erlang, why are Li Chao Erlang afraid of death?"
Xiao Mingye finally raised his head, looking at everyone's determined expressions, he suddenly smiled for some reason."
No regrets?"
The crowd shook their heads.Xiao Mingye looked up at the sky, although the sky was now covered by black smoke and the moon was invisible, Xiao Mingye still knew that the moon was there."
Today is the Guiyue Festival, the day of family reunion, why can't we go home, but we can't lose the excitement, brothers, do you know, Dashuai once had a poem, do you want to listen to it?"
The soldiers were lying, sitting, or laughing, and they all nodded in agreement to listen. ”How can you say that you have no clothes?
with the Son.Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear.Enmity with the Son!
How can you say that you have no clothes?
With the Son.Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd.Work with the son!
How can you say that you have no clothes?
with the Son.Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers.Walk with the son!
”……………… The crackling sound was endless, but in this crackling sound, there was another sound that was not lively, that was the high-pitched and passionate recitation of the Annam warriors!
How can a sentence be said to be without clothes, a sentence with the same robe with the son, resounding through the sky, resounding through the Jinyaguan, resounding through Shuzhou, resounding through the court!
