lying down

Ouyang raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and squinted to look at the surrounding mountain terrain.

The Bingzhou army has been walking for two hours, traveling nearly twenty miles. This is on a mountain road, and even official roads rarely have flat land.Now many soldiers from other battalions are sitting on the sidelines panting and sweating profusely.They were looking at the special brigade in puzzlement. There wasn't a single soldier there like them. They were all sweating slightly, standing there constantly relaxing their hands and feet.

This made them a little envious and jealous for no reason. They thought that they were just reckless men who were fighting for their lives, but now they seem to be much better than them. I am ashamed. They are trained in a big camp. The gap Why is it so big?

After seeing the surrounding terrain, Ouyang secretly thought that if the governor's plan was followed, the 1 people would be exhausted.In Ouyang's visible field of vision, the mountains are almost endless, and this official road extends along the foot of the mountain.It is said to be the official road, but it is actually a dirt road less than two feet wide, and the ground has been compacted.There are many potholes on the ground now, and people will not be able to repair them until the coming year.

The entire Bingzhou battalion moved forward in a regular manner, with sentries in front, followed closely by the vanguard battalion, the central army was in the center, with [-] cavalry guards on both wings, and a small amount of supplies and civilian forces behind it, almost like entering the battlefield area.This is the meaning of the governor. For the [-] elite Bingzhou Army, firstly, they can get acquainted with the feeling of marching and fighting in advance, and secondly, they can observe the recent training level and status of each battalion by the way.

Ouyang's special brigade was in the middle of the army, stationed in the place with the most people.He glanced at the soldiers in other camps around him, they were somewhat tired, sitting there leaning on each other for warmth and chatting, the atmosphere was very dull.This is very boring to Ouyang. If it is in the enemy's territory, it can be justified. Even talking to each other is forbidden, and there are scenes where people have not scolded hooves. But now it is only twenty miles away from his house. , there are still more than 300 miles away from Yunzhong. If things go on like this, it is easy to feel tired and demoralized. What can I do?

Turning his eyes, he called out to the soldiers of the special brigade beside him and said, "This journey is very depressing, and it's not a sight to see in spring and summer. Why don't I teach you a few special songs and let everyone sing together?"

The crowd suddenly agreed, they thought the march was monotonous and boring, not to mention that they hadn't heard their brigade general sing before, so they were a little booing.

Ouyang saw that everyone was getting more energetic, but he didn't hold back. He hummed and coughed a few times to open his voice, and then he raised his voice and shouted: "The smoke rises, and the country looks north. The dragon rolls up, the horse neighs, and the sword Frost-"

When everyone listened to this opening tune, it was very different from any so-called song they had ever heard, whether it was a ditty they heard in Hualou, a ditty heard in the market, or a famous big tune that was widely spread.But after listening to a few lines, I felt that the lyrics were clear and easy to understand, and the style of the song was even more sonorous and passionate, very catchy, and I couldn't help shouting "Okay!", suppressing Ouyang's singing.

As soon as this side shouted, the soldiers around couldn't help squeezing over to join in the fun and wanted to see what happened.Ouyang's singing was interrupted, but he was not unhappy. Seeing more and more people gathered around, he laughed and thought it was just what I wanted, so he continued to sing: "My heart is like the vastness of the Yellow River. Ten years have passed. , who can resist? Hate is mad, where the long sword is directed, how many loyal souls of brothers and feet are buried in their hometown. He regrets a hundred deaths to serve his family and country. Looking north, the grass is green and yellow, and the dust is flying. I am willing to defend the land and open up the frontiers. The majestic China wants to let the Quartet come to congratulate—”

This time he was not interrupted, but sang the whole passage smoothly in one breath.He couldn't fully bring out the artistic conception of this song, but as a traveler, he sang a little emotion after seeing the ups and downs of history. It sang a taste different from that of Tu Honggang.

At the end of the period, he looked at the brothers in the army around him, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart.After all, this tune is completely different from that of the Tang Dynasty, and I don't know how effective it will be after singing the whole passage.There was a short silence around, only Ma Xiaofeng was heard.Looking at the thoughtful expressions of the brothers around him, he secretly wondered: Did the singing fail?

While he was muttering, a "good" sound three to five times louder than before came out, like a thunderbolt on the ground, which shocked him a lot.Feeling good songs are the exchanges that existed in that era?I was secretly glad in my heart, but after waving my hands to thank, I said loudly: "Do you guys like this song?"

Is there any reason not to like the group of soldiers next to him?They began to express their love in a hurry, and many of them patted Ouyang's horses.Ouyang happily accepted it, stood there and taught it three or five times, and could barely sing some songs with a good memory.

Although it is just an ordinary transfer now, it is always unreasonable for such a "lively" thing to happen during the short break.In fact, when Ouyang was having a great time teaching singing here, several sergeants in the army who were in charge of military discipline had already stood outside.It's just that Ouyang has a special status in the army. The governor once said that their activities are all self-determination and self-care, and they didn't issue a clear order to revoke this privilege until the time of the expedition; These sergeants were all excited when they heard it.On the balance, they sent people to report layer by layer, while others were watching here, for fear of any accidents.You know, the military law is not a joke.

When Ouyang finished teaching, he didn't see the military officer in charge of military discipline at all.He has already walked away under the command of the governor to "don't pay attention to it for the time being", so he won't be an eyesore here at all.

The time for a stick of incense is very short, and many people heard the horn of the whole army starting before they learned it. They had to pat their butts regretfully and set off quickly as a team.After traveling for less than ten miles, the soldiers became tired again, and the atmosphere was once again dull and unspeakable.

There are rules for marching, and cooking is done in the middle of the afternoon, which is around two o'clock.The whole army marched fast all the way, from Chenshi's meal to the afternoon, it would be a lie to say that they were not hungry.This road has to endure hunger, and there is no good scenery to see, so the atmosphere will not be good.

But this is a good time for Ouyang to present treasures. In his mind, marching without singing military songs is like falling in love without sweet talk.So when he saw the tired faces of many people, he roared loudly: "The smoke is rising, and the country is looking north..."

At first, the special brigade behind him thought that the brigade commander was really boring, and he wanted to cheer everyone up.But whoever thought Ouyang was singing, he turned around and blinked, motioning for everyone to come together.This is great, regardless of those who memorized the lyrics and those who didn't, the 60 members of the special brigade roared unevenly, like a flock of crows flying by, messy and chaotic.However, this scene did not last long, and the pace of the crowd finally got together, and the roar of the 60 people became louder and farther away.

There were hundreds of people from the Chinese army next to them who had been watching just now and gradually joined the "chorus", so a rare scene appeared in the entire army. With a puzzled face, he didn't know what happened.

When this situation was reported to the governor Xu Shiji, Xu Shiji had already heard the singing not far away, he just nodded his head to show he knew, waved his hand to let the army retreat, and said nothing.

When the soldiers saw that the Houge Sergeant didn't come to take care of him, it meant that the governor allowed it, or at least acquiesced.Now I am tired and hungry, it is really good to be able to growl like this a few times, so more and more people began to hum along with the tune, and then sang along with a few words...

Five days later, in Yunzhong City, where the Tongmodao army gathered, many people suddenly heard a roar at around noon. The roar gradually became clearer and louder. It was a tune that had never been heard before. The loud roar was really frightening, as if it was exploding right next to their ears. At first, the people who thought it was the enemy's invasion suddenly relaxed, because they could understand the words in the song, and they could understand the meaning even more. The more you listen, the more you feel more comfortable, and the more you listen, the more passionate you feel. This can only be another army from Datang coming to gather, and it must be Datang's own army.So many people rushed out of the city with the old and the young, wanting to see which governor was under his command, but they felt so majestic just listening to the singing.

Xu Shiji sat on the horse, looked at the Yunzhong City approaching in front of him, and listened to the singing voice from his heart, a smile and faint excitement appeared on his face, the morale was so high before it started, it was really shameless who else!Looking back, I saw the young general who insisted on walking not far away was singing excitedly, and the joy in his eyes was even greater...
