The two little soldiers were stunned, they flinched and couldn't even hold their knives steadily.Zhuo Yue cursed loudly, stepped forward and grabbed a collar with one hand, pushing them towards the camp like a chicken in the eagle's mouth.At the same time, almost all the soldiers on the teaching ground reacted, no matter whether they were calm or flustered, they all rushed towards the same place almost at the same time.Immediately, the black heads of people swept past like locusts passing through the border!

Zhuo Yue squeezed into the crowd and quickly returned to his tent, only to see Zhang Laohei yelling at two small soldiers who were pulling out the camp and packing supplies.Everyone else was also in a hurry to put on their armor, checking whether their weapons, bows and arrows, gunpowder and other things were ready.When Zhuo Yue glanced wide, he was relieved to see that everyone was orderly, but when he looked carefully again, he couldn't help feeling cold again.

On the faces of those recruits, there were clearly twelve points of panic and despair.As far as the eye can see, the faces are pale and sweaty, the eyes are dull, and the limbs are weak.

That wasn't the expression of someone who was about to go into battle to kill the enemy.

That's the look of waiting to die.

Zhuo Yue gritted his rear molars hard.In fact, he doesn't know what the general's plan is. It stands to reason that the date of pulling out the camp and going out should be announced to the whole army at least one day in advance, so that there will be time for all the soldiers to prepare their luggage, mobilize the soldiers in the sentry battalion, and make blood oaths for the whole army. After the alliance, the party will start to set off.

But I don't know why this expedition was so hasty?Could it be that the sentry in front brought back the news of the enemy?Could it be that after a few months of recuperation, Zhagan chose to make a surprise attack at this time?

Zhuo Yue tried desperately to recall in his mind, but he couldn't remember exactly when Zha Gan went south in his previous life.He only remembered that it was the early spring of the 26th year of Hongwu, but he couldn't remember the exact time.More importantly, since Lou's army led the army in the previous life, there has never been a defeat on the northern front. But now, looking at the expressions of the people, the army's morale collapsed before they moved. This is a defeat at all!What happened to the general of the Chinese army? Don't they know that what the new army needs most is to boost morale? How could they let the camp go out without saying a word?

But at this time, the situation was urgent and he was not allowed to think deeply.Zhuo Yue gripped the Xuanhua ax tightly, and shouted loudly: "Train soldiers for a thousand days, just at this moment! On the battlefield, the more people you cut down, the fewer people can hurt you! Don't even think about it so much!" , fuck it and it's over!"

The spirits of the soldiers around were briefly shaken.Zhuo Yue turned his head and ordered the captains to count the number of people, report to him, and then strode towards the front of the team.He glanced around, and sure enough, he saw Guan Ximing in the crowd.Some frail teenagers stood beside a truckload of baggage with trepidation on their faces, their eyes blankly staring at the dark head in front of them, their faces were so pale that they were about to faint in a second.

Zhuo Yue stepped forward, grabbed his shoulder and turned him around, and said in a low voice, "Where's your knife?"

Guan Ximing looked at him with trembling lips, his gaze was erratic.

Zhuo Yue raised his hand and gave him a slap without hesitation.

Guan Ximing staggered violently, raised his head and his eyes were bloodshot, but his eyes finally regained consciousness.

Zhuo Yue ruthlessly yanked off the saber from Guan Ximing's waist, stuffed it into his hand and said sharply, "Take it! Cut at the enemy if you see it. Don't wait to die like a lost soul!"

Guan Ximing was startled, and hurriedly said: "But—"

"You are a soldier!" Zhuo Yue poked him hard, "I was born here to kill the enemy. From now on, I will do this every day, every year, what's the big deal!"

At this time, a hand reached out to gently support Guan Ximing.Zhuo Yue turned his gaze to one side, but saw Li Changxing appear beside Guan Ximing at some point, at this moment, he smiled at Zhuo Yue and said, "Brother Zhuo, don't worry, I will take care of Brother Guan."

Zhuo Yue frowned slightly, and looked him up and down.The others all had expressions of being devastated and not knowing what was going on, but this kid, when he came to the battlefield, still had a calm and calm expression, as if he was about to go on an outing.Generally, people who behave like this are either born with few tendons, or they have walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

And Zhuo Yue knew in his heart what kind of person Li Changxing was.

He stretched out his hand and dragged Li Changxing to him, stared into his eyes, and said word by word, "Do you still remember what I told you?"

Li Changxing didn't hide for a moment, and slowly blinked his long eyelashes to meet his gaze, and sighed: "It's even today, Brother Zhuo still doesn't believe me..."

Zhuo Yue threw him away and said coldly, "I will only believe you after today."

Another cannon rang, and all the troops immediately assembled outside the camp.At this time, the Lou family's army was in the middle, and the left and right armies were sandwiched between the two sides. The mighty 2 horses had assembled.After nearly two days of training, the remnants of the guards could not "walk and retreat like one person", but they still lined up clearly, and there was no such thing as uneven ranks, front and back, and uneven density.

Zhuo Yue held the sentry officer in his hand to recognize the flag, and heard the sound of the changing gun, squinting his eyes, but saw the five-party flag of the commander in the direction of the central army in front of him swaying to the northeast, and then the five parties of each army and battalion raised their flags and recognized the flag one after another. Wave to the northwest.Zhuo Yue immediately raised the flag of the sentry officer in his hand, and sent the order together with the whole army.

For a moment, banners fluttered high under the blue sky of northern Xinjiang, and the gale winds of late winter and early spring whizzed past, hanging up five-color streamers, and brought up the flame-burning Yingsui and waist plates on the helmets of countless soldiers. A dragon-like belt.However, no matter how the wind blows against people, flying sand and rocks, the flag in the hands of the soldiers will unswervingly point to the northeast direction, like a pack of wolves howling for the land of the rising moon.

The wind blows the drums of war, the mountains and rivers move, and the flags of lightning flash and the sun and the moon are high.

The unicorn in the sky is the original species, how can the ants in the cave escape. ("Send Mao Bowen", Zhu Houcong)

An orderly [-] soldiers started at the same time, and walked slowly towards the northwest.

During the march, do not leave the team without permission, and avoid talking loudly. The army of more than 2 people starts together, and unless they are traveling lightly, they will not go anywhere soon.Zhuo Yue walked in the team, secretly thinking about the direction to go.

Zhongxing City is located in the hinterland of Yingzhou, and further to the northeast, it is an open and flat gravel area.The terrain here is low and flat, there are no trees, jungles, or mountains and passes. Immediately overlooking the rising sun, there are several small earth-rammed towns scattered on the plain.This area is the most difficult to set up an ambush, but it is the terrain that grassland people are best at familiarizing with.If he was the main general, he would definitely not decide the first battle here. Even if he hides behind the Zhongxing city wall and uses defense as an offense, it is better than facing the iron hooves of the grassland in an open area.

The more Zhuo Yue thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.These places that he can think of, Lord Lou will not think of?He tried his best to recall the previous life and this time, but he couldn't remember any special events.At the beginning of the 26th year of Hongwu, they should have won many battles, and they shouldn't have lost any battles.

Could it be that this time the fate has changed, and the world has changed?

However, he is just a small sentry officer, and cannot participate in the decision-making of the Chinese army.Even though he was full of doubts, he had no choice but to slowly move forward with the army.

The army marched from early morning to [-] noon, and never stopped except for a short break for a quarter of an hour to drink water and sharpen.Zhuo Yue reckoned that he had traveled about fifty li by now.

After such a long journey, everyone was exhausted.Even the horse, which had just been wet in the morning, gradually slowed down and snorted reluctantly.The excitement and excitement of just going out are all worn away in the process of marching step by step.The soldiers were already physically exhausted, but there was still a thread stretched in their hearts—a thread that was about to meet the Zhagan enemy army at a narrow road at some point.

Tiredness on the body is like a burden on the body; tiredness in the heart is like a sharp knife hanging from the head.

Gradually, the morale ignited by the gongs and drums of the expedition drained away bit by bit. The eyes of the soldiers looking at the distant road gradually became empty and blank. The knife and spear were carried on his shoulders, and his footsteps also dragged.Zhuo Yue yelled at him several times, telling everyone to take up their weapons and be ready for battle at any time, but few people really obeyed.It's like the "house right away"-it's just flattering the past in front of the eyes, but it's not the same in the heart. ("Miscellaneous Collection of Military Training Records · Dictation on the Altar")

After walking for so long, the road ahead seems endless.Where is the enemy?It only takes a moment to take the weapon off my shoulders, so it's probably not a big deal when I see someone before I prepare to fight the enemy.

Zhuo Yue was anxious in his heart, but the army was already exhausted, and it was difficult to gather the army's morale.

what happened!He was literally smoking from the top of his head.Are the generals of the Chinese army blind, and they can't even see that the army is completely defeated at this time?Could it be that the general, like him, came back from a stroll in front of the gate of Hades, and all the techniques of leading troops and fighting were left in the Wangchuan River? !

Taking advantage of no one's attention, Zhuo Yue sideways came to Xiao Ga's side, and hurriedly said to him in a low voice: "If something goes wrong in a while, take care of Xiao Guan and Lao Zhang, and be careful."

Xiao Ga's eyes flashed, and he responded silently.

Zhang Laohei is a reckless man with a brain on his feet, his blood boils when he starts a battle, and he doesn't know how to observe the situation; while Guan Ximing is on the battlefield for the first time.After all the calculations, the only person he can rely on is Xiao Ga.

The sound of the wind is roaring.

At first, he thought that what he caught was the sound of the wind blowing gravel, but soon the sound emerged very clearly——

That was the sound of horseshoes rushing forward!That sound like the beating of war drums, but mixed with killing intent, has been deeply engraved in his mind!

Zhuo Yue squeezed the Xuanhua ax tightly, turned around and shouted: "Be alert!"

Enemy soldiers are coming?All the soldiers looked around in a daze, but the surroundings were still peaceful and poor. Where did they see the appearance of enemy soldiers in the grassland?But they didn't know that the prairie army got off their horses very fast, and it would be too late to prepare for the battle after seeing the enemy soldiers. Experienced generals usually listen to the enemy's direction and distance.

Zhuo Yue's whole body was stretched to the extreme, his eyes fixed on the five flags raised in the direction of the Chinese army.The sound of iron hooves getting closer and closer in his ears became more and more clear, one after another, they galloped on his brain, making him have a splitting headache.He could only squint and stare at the flag of the Chinese army, as long as the flag moves, as long as it moves, he--

The flag tip reflected in the blue sky finally shook slightly.

"Raise the knife! Get ready—" A roar spewed out from his chest, and the sentry flag in his hand suddenly shot straight into the sky, shaking wildly.But before his voice fell, a sharper voice came through the air, the harsh voice was so familiar and profound, overlapping with his deepest and most fearful memories, it seemed to have an echo for a moment——

That was the sound of Cang Yu leaving the string!

Zhuo Yue yelled "Vine card player be on alert", but his voice was drowned in the sound of exclamation and dancing swords.

The soldiers would have completely forgotten the rehearsed formation in the teaching field, and the rattan player had already lost his rattan card, shaking around with his knife in panic, and one of them accidentally injured a teammate next to him.The crowded, man-to-man army panicked. Some people shouted "the barbarians are coming." Pushing to get out of the team - the neat team collapsed immediately.

Zhuo Yue yelled to maintain order, and kicked a few deserters who had trampled on their colleagues back to the team.He glanced at it, and everyone in the other phalanx was also in a mess.Some people were crying, some were shouting, the musketeers, spearmen, and rattan players had long forgotten their responsibilities, those with knives hacked randomly, and those without knives had to protect them even if they snatched other people's knives.

The back of the dark head was undulating up and down, like the rising waves of the tide, rolling up countless flustered bumps.

Zhuo Yue's [-]rd Battalion and [-]th Squadron were located on the outermost side of the army, and they were the most disintegrated.While alerting the enemy troops ahead, Zhuo Yue scolded the deserters at the same time. He had never been so flustered.Someone pulled him in a hurry, but when he turned around, he saw Xiao Ga, who was sweating profusely and shouted sharply: "Brother Zhuo! Leave them alone, be careful yourself!"

Zhuo Yue held down a small soldier who was waving a spear indiscriminately, and shouted back: "Leave me alone! Be on your guard!"

At this time, the team has collapsed from the fortress into loose sand, and there are remnants of fleeing soldiers everywhere.Zhuo Yue felt great hatred in his heart, but he also knew that he should not panic at this time, his eyes scanned the five flags of the Chinese Army in the distance, and said loudly: "Let's lean on the Chinese Army——"

Xiao Ga's eyes, which were staring at his back, suddenly tightened, and he stepped forward with the knife and yelled loudly: "Brother Zhuo, be careful!"

A bone-piercing chill ran towards Zhuo Yue's back like a runaway horse!Zhuo Yue's hair exploded all over his body, his limbs stretched to the extreme with a roar, his waist was like a bow stretched to the full, and he dodged to the right with all his strength.But the familiar chill came so quickly and urgently that he almost felt a dull pain in his side——

"Brother Zhuo!"

An afterimage flashed past, and Zhuo Yue was hugged by someone who came out of nowhere and fell to the ground.The two fell on the gravel ground together, causing a burst of rocks and soil to fly. At the same time, Xiao Ga raised his knife and knocked the cold arrow away.

Zhuo Yue was thrown dizzy, took several bites of sand in his mouth, and coughed repeatedly due to choking.A pair of arms were tightly wrapped around his waist, their legs were intertwined, and their bodies were also tightly attached.Zhuo Yue was so pressed that he almost sucked in another mouthful of sand, and when he was struggling to open his eyes, he happened to bump into a pair of downcast eyes.

On the battlefield where sand and stones are flying and everything is dirty and gray, these eyes are unbelievably clean and clear, like a spring pond that has just been bathed by drizzle. The two are so close, Zhuo Yue He could even see himself in a state of embarrassment and sweating profusely from his pupils.

Li Changxing panted slightly, raised his hand with support, and wiped away the dust under Zhuo Yue's eyes with his thumb.Surrounded by tens of thousands of galloping horses and filled with gunpowder smoke, even if everything in the world collapses, the two of them can only hear each other's breath at this moment.

Zhuo Yue felt his chest jump out of control, and raised his hand to push him away, but Li Changxing got up first and raised his hand to pull him up.Zhuo Yue staggered to his feet, raised his eyes and glanced at Li Changxing, and said simply: "...Thank you."

Li Changxing pursed his lips and smiled, glanced lightly at Xiao Ga who was standing gloomy by the side, and said softly, "Brother Zhuo, as long as nothing happens."

"Where's Guan Ximing?" This kid clearly promised to take good care of Guan Ximing before he left for the expedition.

"—Brother Zhuo!" Following a shout from far to near, Guan Ximing staggered towards him from not far away.He also looked quite embarrassed, half of his armor had been squeezed out by someone, and he hadn't lost his saber, which was being held tightly in his hand.He ran wildly to Zhuo Yue's side, panting and said: "Brother Zhuo, I, I suddenly found something wrong—"

Zhuo Yue raised his hand to stop him, stepped forward a few steps and bent over to pick up the cold arrow that had sneaked up on him just now but was knocked back by Xiao Ga.

Several people took a closer look, and their breathing was stagnant——

It was a bald arrow whose head had been shaved off, leaving only the wooden shaft.

The author has something to say: Xiaoga: You dead tea spirit, I was the one who saved Brother Zhuo!
