Horse on the World

Chapter 659 The cruelty between ideal and reality
Just as Zheng Zhiyuan predicted, the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the people are the easiest to be incited, but when beautiful ideals collide with bloody reality in the face of cruel reality, this enthusiasm and enthusiasm are also very easy to dissipate.

The first round of offense didn't even touch the edge of the defense line, and they retreated.Flying stumps, fallen neighbors, flowing blood, terrifying arrows, and desperate stone bullets falling from the sky, all of these are constantly wearing down the courage accumulated by these farmers and fishermen. Finally, at the first When the person's legs were weak, he fell to his knees, put his hands on the ground, and vomited profusely, the attacker hesitated, some cried out in despair, some began to throw away the sword in their hand, turned and ran back.

These people may not even be able to fight at ordinary times, and they may even be terrified to kill a chicken. When they go to the battlefield with weapons, can you expect them to stab their knives and guns into the opponent's chest?

This is the battlefield, not the hype of the storyteller in the roadside teahouse, nor the wild history of the countryside, the brilliant pen in the notes of miscellaneous talks, although every man has a dream, the dream of being brave and invincible, holding a knife and gun, sweeping the six deserts Bahe is admired by the world, but when faced with a bloody battlefield, the dripping blood will make most people give up their dream, and hope that they will never encounter this kind of cruelty. , the sun sets and rests, and I serve a cup of bitter tea and a bowl of sake in my spare time. On the side of the road or under a tree, I chatter loudly about idle melons. Then he returned home contentedly, and fell asleep soundly with his wife in his arms.

Out of a hundred people, 99 will choose this simple life in the end. Sometimes, simplicity is also a kind of happiness.

Wei Zhihua looked at the people who retreated like a tide, looked at the hundreds of corpses that fell between the two armies, his face was full of pain, and he turned to look at a general next to him: "General He, General He, this is to let you They are going to die, they are just ordinary people, they don't know how to fight at all, let the last general go for it!"

He Aimin, the oldest general on Taiwan Island, had no expression on his face. He stared at the line of defense opposite. It was still quiet there. After the enemy entered a certain distance, the lying poisonous snake would raise its head and spit out its poisonous tongue kiss.

This is an elite soldier in a hundred battles!He Aimin thought painfully that living on Taiwan Island, the navy would occasionally go out to fight pirates and plunder some transit caravans to practice their skills. Zuo Fu and Zuo Gui are already the most experienced generals on the island. But two battles and two losses, Zuo Gui died in battle, and Zuo Fu almost died in the sea. On the other hand, the land troops, who have been on the island for hundreds of years, have already killed all those who dared to resist. The so-called elite soldiers are training It's all about walking down the field. Most of the generals on the island have only learned the art of war, but throughout their lives, they have no place to practice. They really talk about war on paper.When they faced such an enemy in front of them, the ending was already doomed.

Do your best, just listen to the destiny!He Aimin thought that the only way for his He family to repay the kindness of the Great Zhou Dynasty was to die.

"Under the overturned nest, how can there be any eggs!" He Aimin said quietly, "General Wei, next you will lead the regular troops to attack once, come here, and find me the leaders of all the township soldiers. Tell them something!"

Wei Zhihua clasped his fists together, "General, I'm going!"

The villagers retreated, and the regular army finally appeared.Above the line of defense, Tang Hu stood up straight, and drew his two sabers out of their sheaths, "This time, he may be needed!"

Tang Hu's estimate is very correct. Although the sea is still sparing no effort to attack, it is a formally trained army after all. Their generals may not have actual combat experience, but the Great Zhou Dynasty, which sailed far away, still retains enough military books. Enough previous generations have countless combat experiences, and often these experiences are bought with blood and lives, and this time, they have to use blood to verify these experiences, but this is enough to prevent them from being like the villagers. Lost for no reason.

After paying the price of less than a hundred lives, nearly two thousand regular troops led by Wei Zhihua rushed to the defense line.

Above the line of defense, Huo Di stood up in rows of soldiers, with spears in their hands, and a forest of guns appeared in front of the attackers, like stabs, with sharp blades shining coldly all over the top and bottom.

"Stab!" Following an order, like a poisonous tongue spitting out a letter, a spear stabbed like electricity, retracted, stabbed again, and the movements were uniform, as if these thousands of spears were being used by one person. Nothing was stabbed, and these long spears were retracted and stabbed out together amidst the sound of the trumpets.

Except for the face of the opponent in the first row, Wei Zhihua couldn't even see their figures in the back, and all he saw were thick spears.

And behind these spearmen, long arrows were constantly thrown out, and there were even more ballistas. Those heavy stone bullets were fired by ballistas, which did more damage to soldiers. There are also shields to block, and this kind of ballista has a great impact when the stone bullets fall, so you must be very careful when dealing with it, even if the soldiers have shields, sometimes the soldiers' arms will be broken.

Waving the shield in one hand to block the stabbing spear, the other hand held the spear and drove straight in. Wei Zhihua, who has practiced martial arts since childhood, has a very strong arm. The spear immediately sank into the chest of an enemy in front of him. Seeing the blood flow with the spear Pulling it out and spraying it out, the soldier fell limp, but what made Wei Zhihua palpitate was that the fallen soldier was still expressionless.

He took a step forward with a big shout, swung his spear again, and stabbed the other person next to this person. Only by stabbing the last person, he could break through the thorny guy in front of him, open a gap, and rush into the enemy's formation. Only in this way can he Let the opponent's crossbowmen and stone artillerymen have scruples and dare not fire crossbows recklessly.

Stabbing another person down, Wei Zhihua was overjoyed, when he was about to attack the third person, his face changed suddenly, and out of the corner of his eyes, he saw that there was another person at the position of the Dingzhou soldier who had just fallen, that person and his previous companion The same, expressionless, with a pair of feet even stepping on the body of the dead companion, pointing out the spear, stabbing at him viciously.

Wei Zhihua could only take a step back, and just took a step back. In the position of the soldier who was stabbed to death just now, there was another person, and the small gap that was just opened was closed again in an instant.

Tang Hu raised his sword several times and tried to rush up, but Song Ming blocked him. Song Ming even called a few soldiers with big waists and thick arms to stand on a wall and block Tang Hu.

"Turtle son, dare you not let me kill the enemy, I will beat you!" Tang Hu was furious.

Song Ming pointed to the front and said loudly: "Master Tiger, you have seen that now our army is fortified, and fighting the enemy with everyone's strength is much more effective than fighting alone, and the brothers are much safer. The iron wall tactics that our Dingzhou relied on, Mr. Hu, you rushed up alone and fell into the enemy's siege. You are an iron man, how many nails can you hammer! When the time comes, the brothers will save you. The army is bound to disperse, and it will become chaos at that time, Mr. Tiger, many brothers will die. Please take pity on me, I just made a big mistake a few days ago, come and make it again, General Zheng You must chop off my head, even if you beat me up after the battle, it's better than having no head!"

"You guys, block Master Hu for me, if Master Hu rushes up alone, I will chop your heads off first!" Song Ming shouted loudly at several soldiers.

"Obey, General!" Several soldiers shouted violently.Those who were fighting in front were their life and death brothers. No matter how high Tang Hu's status was, they didn't want this master to rush up and disturb the army formation, causing the brothers to die indiscriminately. Staring at Tang Hu, if Tang Hu turned to the left, they would turn to the left, if Tang Hu turned to the right, they would turn to the right.

"Song Ming, you son of a bitch!" Tang Hu jumped and cursed, but at this time, Song Ming had disappeared from his eyes and rushed to the front line to command the battle. Tang Hu's position, apart from being able to see the surrounding bows and crossbows Except for the soldiers, crossbowmen, and the buttocks of the soldiers in the front row, they could see nothing, not even the shadow of the enemy.All I could hear was the screams of killing.Occasionally, an enemy was picked up by a spear, flew across the army formation, and landed in front of them.

"Warriors!" He Aimin pointed to the bloody battlefield in front of him, "There are your soldiers, they are fighting desperately, shedding blood for the continuation of our Great Zhou!"

"Some people are asking where these people came from and why did they come to fight us? Some people will also question why we don't negotiate with our opponents. Well, today, I will tell you where these people came from and why they must come. Hit us!" He Aimin said slowly.

More than a dozen township military leaders looked at He Aimin with a heavy face, and they all had a bad feeling.

"These people come from a huge empire thousands of miles away from here. The army in front of us is called the Dingzhou Army, which is just a state of this huge empire. Of course, you are wondering why this army is called the Dingzhou Army , and we also have a town called Dingzhou here, right? Because we come from the same place!"

Everyone was shocked!
"Dazhou has state 56, and the huge empire thousands of miles away also has state 56. What we have here, they also have state [-]. It's just that their only state is several times larger than our whole country !"

Everyone's faces changed.

"Because that empire defeated our ancestors of the Great Zhou and drove us here. And your ancestors were the Imperial Forest Army who followed the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou!"

He Aimin has hidden this on Taiwan Island for hundreds of years, and now only those secrets that have been passed down for hundreds of years or in the vast history books are slowly revealed.

Flesh and blood flew across the front, while He Aimin was impassioned behind.

"Under the nest, there are no eggs. In the eyes of the other party, we are all descendants of sinners. We must be wiped out. For hundreds of years, they have been chasing us, brave soldiers, should we Give up resistance, give up fighting, stretch your neck and be killed by them like a pig or a sheep?"

"We are dead, and our family members will not be let go. Your wives, your children, and your parents will all be killed by them, because in their eyes, we are the remnants of the first dynasty, and we must be punished." Nine Clans!"

"So, hold your chest up, in order to protect our family members to survive, we must defeat them!" He Aimin snapped.
