Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Inside the big tent, the boots of Guo Shao and the civilian officers and generals were all yellow mud, gray heads and faces, and their bodies were traces of gunpowder and dust. The guard put the iron cup Guo Shao used to serve the vegetable soup, and brought two more wheat cakes. He looked back around, everyone looked at him, silently waiting for Guo Shao to move his chopsticks first.

The generals were not in high spirits, and the generals were used to the days of eating, sleeping and eating, because of the frequent wars in the Great Zhou Dynasty and many days of expeditions; but to say that eating this kind of food is very comfortable, I can't talk about it, I can sit on the emperor. The people next to them are the most prominent group of people in the Great Zhou Dynasty. When they were in Tokyo, there was no shortage of splendor and wealth. Obviously they were not eating such things.

But the emperor had the same meals as the soldiers, and the ministers did not dare to mess around with such trivial matters. To take Guo Shao's words, it is: The soldiers who are struggling with their lives in the front can eat, but those who drive the soldiers behind can not eat it?

Guo Shao looked back around and smiled and said: "When I win Jinyang, I will host a banquet in Jinxiang Hall to celebrate your achievements. Let's have a good time. What do you all want to eat?"

A group of people are more cautious, and they just thank you. Gao Yanjian said at this time: "It's good to have wine and meat!"

"Yes, yes..." Hu Ben army general Wang Zhang muttered, "As long as you don't eat vegetarian food, your mouth will fade out!"

"Haha..." Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Guo Shao did not blame Wang Zhang for complaining in his words, and said with a smile, "How about roasted lamb? Ask the royal chef to cook it carefully, sprinkle with sesame oil and seasonings, and then roast it layer by layer over a low fire, golden golden color... …" He looked at the rough iron cup he was bumping into before him, "Cut it off and put it on a jade plate, the meat|scent is overflowing, bite it down, the mouth is full of oil."

At this time someone had swallowed a mouthful of water.

Guo Shao added, "A good meal must be accompanied by a good wine. How about a glutinous rice wine over 18 years old? Take a sip, the wine is full-bodied, and it is warmed along the throat to the heart, and it makes people warm and airy."

Lin Renzhao smashed his mouth. He didn't say a word before. When he talked about wine, he immediately said seriously: "I will love to drink Daughter Red, and the wine tastes good..."

Guo Shao then picked up the vegetable soup and took a sigh of relief, then sighed "ha".

When everyone saw this, they began to eat and drink. Guo Shao tore another piece of wheat cake and put it in his mouth to chew with relish. Somehow he suddenly remembered Fu Jinzhan... She also tasted this kind of military ration when he took her out of the city for a horse race.

In the blackened old tent, in the army camp covered with yellow mud, surrounded by a group of rough and dirty brawny, Guo Shao looked intoxicated. It was as if he saw the beautiful woman with bright eyes and white teeth, a piece of wheat cake was picked up with a jade-like soft bark, his red lips lightly opened, and his shell teeth took a bite. Chewing slowly, you can taste the fragrance of wheat and the sweetness, although it is light but not greasy.

Guo Shao's mouth is full of raw body fluid, and the couscous cakes are as delicious as the delicacies of the mountains and the sea.

Everyone looked at the emperor in amazement, and they also seemed to think that the food was delicious, so everyone ate and drank and enjoyed dinner.

Wang Pu smiled and said: "The old man remembered Cao Mengde's "wangmei quenching thirst" back then. Today, your majesty is looking for wine and meat to relieve hunger!"

"Haha, really." Several generals followed and laughed.

In the evening, the bonfire outside Jinyang city became a patch, like stars everywhere in the dark night. The fighting on the battlefield also temporarily returned to tranquility.

...But this relaxation only lasted until the next morning. As soon as the sky fell, the drum horns and the noise from the battlefield were noisy again. Not long after, the sound of artillery roared, and fire and smoke were everywhere.

"Boom! Boom..." In the area where the Jiannan Army was stationed, Gao Yanjian's tent was shaking.

Gao Yanjian picked up the helmet next to him and put it on his head, hung his saber around his waist, and strode out of the tent. His expression was solemn and he was not as relaxed as he was in the Chinese Army last night. A group of martial arts fighters gathered around, clenching fists in one hand and holding the palm of the other hand to give a military salute: "Master, meet the master..."

Gao Yanjian looked at the large number of soldiers and various siege equipment prepared in the distance with no anger and pride, and then looked back at him. Everyone looked at him.

"Today, I am already a soldier of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Only if I do what I can do as a martial artist, I am worthy of this meal!" Gao Yanjian said. He said something from his heart, in his cognition, he must do everything well to maintain his existing position.

The generals looked solemn and expressed their opinions: "The final general is waiting to follow the lord to come from the land of Shu, and has determined to live and die together and serve the lord!"

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "The emperor is here!"

Gao Yanjian and others turned their heads to wait and see, and they saw Guo Shao riding a tall dark horse with a group of civil servants and generals riding their horses here. When he approached, Gao Yanjian took the lead and knelt down on one knee, performing the military salute: "The ministers welcome your majesty!"

Guo Shao turned over and got off his horse vigorously, stepped forward and personally helped Gao Yanjian, and said to the generals: "Strong men, please get up."

Guo Shao raised his head and glanced at the square flag with the word "Great Zhou" written on it, and said with a serious face: "Shu is the country of abundance and the rear of China. However, for thousands of years, every time my Han family fought and resisted the world. When humiliated, the people of Shu have always tried their best to provide food and shed blood and sacrifice! Do not lose your energy for the great cause of the world! Men who have aspirations in all directions, those who go out of Shu and fight for the great cause have earned face for the fathers and villagers in the middle of Shu!"

He raised the scabbard and shouted loudly in the dialect of the generals of the Shu army: "Hung up!"

The mood of the army was immediately lifted, and they shouted: "Xiongqi! Xiongqi..."

A military commander excitedly said loudly in the crowd: "It is the turtle son who retreated!" Gao Yanjian also encouraged: "The emperor is behind him, and the bravery of the soldiers is in your eyes!"

After a burst of shouts, Gao Yanjian issued a military order for drumming. For a while, the flag shook, and amidst the roar of artillery, drums rang like thunder.

In the first line of defense, the tall ladder was pushed out among the crowds of people, and the armored soldiers in the surrounding area spread toward the city wall like a tide. After a while, the roar of the surrounding artillery also stopped, to prevent accidental injury to his own people.

A young general of the Shu army who walked in front held a sword, stared at the city with his eyes rounded, and followed the brigade with non-stop steps. He held the hilt tightly in his hand, he was actually very afraid, I am afraid that no one is not afraid...The flesh and blood is attacking under the arrow rolling stone, face to face under the eyes of the enemy soldiers, nine deaths, this situation is really not so easy.

After nearly a hundred steps, the ballista catapult on the city wall began to fire, and stones and crossbows greeted him from the air. The continuous artillery destroyed many of the North Han Army's defensive equipment, but at this time they seemed to temporarily reinforce the upper city.

"Ah!" With a scream, the general looked back and saw a soldier hit by a crossbow with a thick arm and fell to the ground. The people around were staring with weapons. At this time, people's eyes were particularly bright, and the strings in their hearts were tightened.

Not long afterwards, there was a sudden "bang, bang..." string, and the sky was sparkling with fire, and the rocket volleys roared in the air like a meteor shower, falling like a rain of fire. There was a sound of metal in the crowd, and screams came from time to time.

The closer the army got, the more people were injured by the arrow. However, the soldiers of the Shu army were still equipped with plate armor, armed with swords and shields in close combat, and defended against bows and arrows fairly well. The army marched forward in a rain of arrows, and there was no sign of defeat. The Jiannan Army's bow|crossbowman also entered range, throwing back shots dozens of steps away, and for a while, arrows flew in the air like locusts.

Unstoppable crowds rushed to the city wall. The first tall ladder has passed through the filled-up moat and has been erected on the city wall. The bow|crossbow below is constantly throwing at one place; the first wave of swords and shields behind is ready.

The commander before the battle shouted: "Kill!"

Hearing the sound of the gong, the square flag with the serial number immediately tilted and leveled. The high city head is like another world, the gate of life and death! The military commander in the front raised his sword and screamed: "Long live my emperor!" He led a group of soldiers to climb the ladder. Everyone yelled, only in this way can the torture of fear be slightly offset.

A group of people screamed with their mouths wide open, the noise suddenly became louder, and the soldiers climbed up desperately. The arrows in all directions kept flying upwards.

The next official of the Privy Council also wore armor, and was trembling in his voice saying: "The family letter of Li Damao, the third commander of the Fifth Army of the Jiannan Army... My son, because you are fighting for the country under the emperor, the emperor’s grace is mighty, The family has been exempted from corvee..."

"Kill!" The ten young generals in front used both hands and feet. The high city was getting closer and closer, and he dared not look back down.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a large tank was hung by an iron chain and protruded out of the female wall. There was still white smoke on it, and a stench was immediately smelled. The ten generals immediately guessed what it was...golden juice! Boiling dung water! This thing is scalded, the wound will fester, there is basically no medicine, but the doctor is better off dead.

At this moment, Ten General's mind was blank, and UU reading www.uukanshu.com had a face as gray as death.

"Wa" immediately poured down with the stench of boiling water, "Ah..." The ten generals in the front were all drenched in boiling water, screaming as they fell from the cloud ladder to the city nearly three feet high.

Some soldiers who were not seriously injured screamed and continued to climb up, some of their weapons were lost, just trying to climb. At this moment, another big barrel was thrown out, and the sticky kerosene was poured on the ladder and the soldiers... The kerosene was still from Southern Tang, and it was transported to the north by ship and sent to Northern Han. of.

The foul-smelling soldier who had been scalded by the "golden juice" but was not killed was again cast over his face by black oil. At this moment, he understood his fate, tears came out, and he looked at the city in despair. Unsurprisingly, a torch was thrown out after a while, and the black oil caught fire, and it ignited with a "boom". The soldier only felt that when his eyes were bright, he seemed to be in a sea of ​​fire, with extreme fear and pain. The head covered his face, his body was already out of control, his hands and feet were soft, and he fell straight from the ladder.

A raging fire ignited on the upper part of the ladder, black smoke filled, and people burning all over screamed and fell from the heights. Under the wall, it was like purgatory.
