Pedestrians with bows and arrows at their waists.
Ye Niang's wife went to see each other, and the dust did not see Xianyang Bridge.
- The scene is the same, but the mood is completely different.
There is no pathos here of "holding clothes and stopping the road and crying, crying straight up to the sky", but some are the pride of "I would rather be a centurion than a scholar".
"My son doesn't have to worry about the family, for the sake of his father's health, on the day of my son's triumph, my father should still be here to welcome my son's return!"
"Although the elder brother went to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, he served the court. The younger brother will be filial to his father and mother at home! Although the younger brother is young, he should take his brother as an example, and when he grows up in the future, he will also follow his brother to make contributions to the Tang Dynasty! ”
All kinds of voices echoed in Xia Hongsheng's ears, and Xia Hongsheng was also stirred in his heart.
This is the voice of a great country, and this is the bearing of a strong country!
This is also a manifestation of Datang's strength.
"Fellow villagers, fathers and sons, see you off here, you don't have to go any further." Duan Zhixuan rode on his horse and said loudly to the people around him who saw him off: "The old man, Duan Zhixuan, the head of the Xihai Road march, is now leading the sons and brothers and husbands to go west to Longyou to meet the enemy of Tuyuhun. Tugu Hun Yelang is arrogant, the land of chickens and dogs, he dares to invade my Datang, don't you think that I have no one in Datang? Today, the old man led all the soldiers to meet the attack, and he will repel all the enemies who are coming. Ben will not dare to say that there is no guarantee that there will be no dead or injured, but the dead and injured are the heroic souls of the Tang Dynasty, and they should enter the Tang Heroic Soul Temple and enjoy the incense of the Tang Dynasty. His family members should also be martyrs and be worshiped by the imperial court for eternity. Fellow villagers, fathers and sons, farewell today, he day, should welcome the triumph of our generation! Soldiers, are you ready? ”
"Always be ready!" Tens of thousands of cadet soldiers chanted in unison.
After shouting, only to hear a chirp piercing the sky, Duan Zhixuan looked at Xia Hongsheng, Xia Hongsheng took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, and ordered in a deep voice: "The whole army, attack!" ”
"Kill!" The cadet army shouted in unison, shot into the sky, turned around in a neat step, and strode out.
"Sing the military song, thank you!" Xia Hongsheng shouted again.
"If the motherland is violated, hot-blooded men should be self-reliant! Drink this bowl of hometown wine, and the strong man will never return. The rolling Yellow River, the surging Yangtze River, give me life and strength. Let the blood stain the most beautiful flowers on my breast. The dragon flag is fluttering, the military horn is sounding, the sword is out of the sheath, and the thunder and lightning are flashing! It has always been a narrow road where the brave wins, forward, forward! Forward, forward - the dragon flag flutters, the military horn sounds, the sword is unsheathed, the thunder and lightning flash, it is always the narrow road where the brave wins. Onward, onwards – onwards, forwards, forwards! The soul of the Tang Army! ”
The majestic singing echoed in this yellow earth, accompanied by the Tang army heading west, all the way west!
Shanzhou, where Longyou Daozhi is located.
Like Lanzhou, it was deeply affected by Tuyuhun.
Before, Tuyuhun took advantage of the opportunity when the Tang Dynasty was concentrating on dealing with the Turks and had no time to look westward, frequently disturbing the western border and blocking the communication between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions. At that time, Datang's main energy was on the Turks, and they had to recuperate, so they did not make a large-scale counterattack against Tuyuhun, but only canceled the mutual market with Tuyuhun, which was a rather negative way to deal with it. As a result, Tuyuhun seemed to feel that Datang really had no way to deal with him, but instead became more and more inch-inch.
Since last winter, Tuyuhun has frequently harassed Longyou Province, with Shanzhou and Lanzhou in particular suffering the most.
A few days ago, Tuyuhun invaded Shanzhou again, because the defenders of Shanzhou resisted desperately, so Tuyuhun failed to break the city, so he had to retreat after looting the surrounding area.
However, Datang is no longer willing to endure it.
Li Shimin also didn't want to do things behind his back when he was driving his own expedition and conquering Goguryeo.
So, this time, Tuyuhun's life has come to an end.
In the original history, Duan Zhixuan sent troops this time, and after several victories, Tuyuhun's army began to play scoundrels, set fire to the ground, burned a hairy on the ground, and then hid everywhere, avoiding the Tang army and not fighting against the Tang army. The horses had no pasture and could not stay for a long time, so Duan Zhixuan had to return to the court. However, as soon as the Tang army withdrew, Tuyuhun made a comeback and invaded the Tang Dynasty again. Under the annoyance of Li Shimin, with Li Jing as the general manager, he gathered with Hou Junji, Li Daozong, Li Daliang, Li Daoyan, Gao Yongsheng, Qi Bi He Li and other generals to counterattack Tuyuhun and wipe out Tuyuhun in a big way.
This time, I'm afraid I don't need to send troops twice.
The cadet army marched day after day, for the sake of speed, and because Tuyuhun was a nomadic and did not have a fixed fortress, so this expedition did not bring artillery, only a lot of mortars, although the power is not as huge as the large artillery, but it is also extremely powerful. As long as it is not against the fortified fortress, it is more than enough.
In addition, there are dozens of cannons, which are slowly following behind, which are ready to be equipped to the fortresses of Shanzhou and Lanzhou and other places for defensive purposes, and are not used in the army of Tuyuhun in this expedition.
"This realm is really not for people, what time is it, it's still a frost!" Cheng Chuliang rode on the horse and complained in his mouth.
"Be quiet, be heard and reported to the chief manager, this is disturbing the morale of the army!" Li Yexu next to him reminded him.
"The deputy manager has heard it, Cheng Chuliang, you go and lead the cane yourself!" Xia Hongsheng came up from the side of the horse, and said with a smile at the stroke.
"The deputy chief Xu heard it wrong, the last general said that there is still flying frost in this realm at this time, it is extremely cool, and I am not afraid of sweating and blinding my eyes during the war!" Cheng Chuliang said to Xia Hongsheng with a hippie smile.
Xia Hongsheng smiled: "Abide by some rules, be cautious in your words and deeds." Immediately arrived in Shanzhou, and the horse in front of him had already seen Lord Li Xuanyun, the assassin of Shanzhou, outside the city to greet him. Although you are captains, they are all from military academies, and they are both seniors and generals in these cadet corps, so don't let the cadets feel that the generals who go out of the military academy are unprofessional. Don't bring shame on your family. ”
"Brother Sheng, don't worry, let's save it." Li Yexu nodded.
Cheng Chuliang also said: "The last general will obey the order!" By the way, Brother Sheng, I asked my father, and he said that he didn't know what a three-plate axe was, and asked where you heard it! You say, isn't he willing to teach me?! ”
"That's Uncle Cheng's unique skill, how can it be so easy to learn?" Xia Hongsheng said: "You haven't made an inch of success now, I'm afraid that Uncle Cheng is worried that you will live up to the name of these three axes!" Behave well, when Uncle Cheng is satisfied with your performance, maybe he will teach you! ”
Cheng Chuliang was about to speak, but he saw a horse coming from the dust, and when he arrived in front of Xia Hongsheng, he said: "The last general, Li Junxian, meets the deputy chief!" The chief manager ordered the last general to call you to go to the front army with him, and meet the history of Shanzhou with him! ”
"Well, General Li, you don't need to be so polite, you are embarrassed ......" Xia Hongsheng scratched his head and said.
In terms of grade, official position, and title, Li Junxian is higher than Xia Hongsheng, but this time Xia Hongsheng is the deputy commander of the army, but his position is higher than Li Junxian's.
So Xia Hongsheng felt embarrassed.
Especially when I saw this fat and strong man, I remembered his completely different white-faced appearance in film and television dramas in later lives, and remembered his nickname of "Five Ladies", and I wanted to laugh even more. (To be continued.) )
