Chapter 976: This destiny is written by Gu Gu himself!
“Xiong Tingshan sent someone to send me a singing group?”
“Yes, they sent someone before the formation last night. My subordinates have asked them to bring them here. After three inspections, they were not assassins, just ordinary traveling singers. However, some of the artifacts seemed to have been pre-arranged with some Qi Refiner spells and small spells. , it will not pose any threat, please rest assured, my lord."
"Is this the war etiquette of the Chu nobles?" Zheng Fan said with a smile, "That's not right. Xiong Tingshan himself married a Shanyue woman when he was in Wutong County. , he himself should disdain to play the tricks of the old Chu nobles."
"Yes"
"That's all, I have nothing to do anyway, and it's good to watch a show. When I got off the boat in Jingcheng, I remember that there were also traveling songs on the pier at that time, right?"
"My lord, do you remember? That’s right, but there are two types of singing teams in Chu: common people and nobles.”
“Your Majesty, the meat filling is ready.”
< br>Liu Dahu handed over a bowl of meat fillings.
Zheng Fan reached out to take it and walked to the large iron cage in front of him. In the cage, there were many falcons, which were special species from the Tianduan Mountains. They were a little different from ordinary falcons. Their eyes were red.
However, Zheng Fan never likes to play with these things. On weekdays, Xue San takes care of him.
After pinching a piece of meat, Zheng Fan threw it into the cage, and a group of falcons began to snatch the food;
Zheng Fan kept throwing it in at a constant speed.
When Pixiu, who was crawling next to him, saw this scene, he stood up slightly and made a slightly dissatisfied nasal sound.
Zheng Fan turned his head and glanced at it, and Pixiu immediately crawled down again.
Actually, at the beginning, this Pixiu was just afraid of the Demon King, not the real master, and regarded Zheng Fan as a servant trapped by the Demon King like himself;
< br>Later on, the concept of master and servant began to slowly change and become fixed, and this Pixiu became more and more afraid of Zheng Fan.
The possible reason is that
Zheng Fan did not seem to be a real superior person back then, but now, it is no exaggeration to say that he is really blessed by the king's energy.
These monsters are extremely sensitive to this kind of aura.
After feeding all the meat in the basin, Liu Dahu brought hot water and soap for Zheng Fan to wash his hands.
After washing his hands,
Zheng Fan looked at his cuffs. He was not wearing armor today.
"Will the Chu people launch an offensive today?"
"It should be so. The two wings have been fighting for two days. The Chu people can't wait for the two wings to end and will forcefully launch an offensive on Zhennanguan in order to seize the time."
"Okay, I won't go up the city wall. , anyway, Ali and San'er were staring at the city wall. . If we really want the Chu people to invade the pass, it doesn’t make any sense if I don’t have armor.”
“That’s what the Lord said.”
br>
“I’m going to prepare now.”
The General Military Mansion in Zhennanguan is not large in area. After all, the royal palace in Fengxin City is not very splendid. Therefore, the official residences of other local generals will definitely not dare to exceed the royal palace, but it is certain that all the internal organs are complete;
< br>Tables and chairs have been set up in the courtyard.
Zheng Fan came over, sat down, grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the coffee table and started eating them one by one.
Six Niang sat next to Zheng Fan and helped Zheng Fan open the frozen pears.
A Ming, who had been out of blood for two days, was a little sluggish, leaning against the back of the chair with his hands.
"Why, are you still enjoying it?" Zheng Fan teased.
"Come on, come on." A Ming yawned slightly and couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick the corners of his mouth. He was about to have a full meal. No, he could choose a feast at will. In front of you.
Outside, a blind man led an old man and three girls in.
The old man holds an erhu in his hand, his beard and hair are all white;
The three girls are dressed in Tsing Yi, they are young and of good stature. They are holding small drums, small gongs and bamboo joints respectively, which are similar to allegro. The same rhythmic thing.
However, as a Chu person, he was sent to the city where the Yan people were, and faced with a prince who was almost known as a murderous god and demon in the Chu country. Every one of his calves were shaking when he walked.
After giving instructions, the blind man walked back to Zheng Fan and sat down on the chair on the other side.
The old man and the three girls knelt down tremblingly, bowed and kowtowed.
"What kind of music is it?" Zheng Fan asked the blind man.
“My subordinates asked, it is a specially arranged new song.”
"This doesn't look like the handiwork of that big boss Xiong Tingshan, he is not that literary."
"My subordinates think so too."
"It doesn't matter, let's talk about it after reading it. Let's cultivate it too." Let’s enjoy the Chu folk performance.”
Zheng Fan leaned back, crossed his legs,
spit out the melon seed shells,
Said:
"Let's begin."
"The villain obeys the order."
"The daughter of the people obeys the order."
The old man looked around, and finally Sitting on the ground holding the erhu;
Three girls stood in the shape of a cross.
Among them, the girl holding the small gong crosses her arms up and down, and the two gongs are struck together, which means the opening sound:
"Buzz!"
……< br>
“Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!”
The Chu army's catapults threw huge boulders, and some of them hit the city wall of Zhennanguan hard, and many others fell directly into the city.
However, Zhennan Pass was originally an important pass during the Three Jin Dynasties. After the palace took control of eastern Shanxi, the repair and reinforcement work on this important pass never stopped, so the city wall is thick and solid, at least for now. , there will not be a situation where the city wall is collapsed.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
Not long after, the Chu people threw stones again for the second time. This time, the Chu people no longer hit the wall, but adjusted the angle. High, hit the city defenders or the area behind the city wall as much as possible.
The splashing gravel is actually more terrifying than the arrow at this time. If you are not lucky enough to wear armor, you can basically block the arrow. But this gravel will directly hit your armor, and it will not stop. Can turn people over.
Many defenders on the city wall lost their lives or were injured as a result. Civilians began to transfer the wounded, and at the same time, the auxiliary soldiers on the other side immediately took over the position.
Next, it was the Chu army's third round of projection, which brought fire oil. At this time, on the city wall, you could clearly see the existence of flowing fire, which smashed over with a bang.
In fact, this kind of damage is not great, but it has a great impact on the morale of the attacked party.
Previously, Xue San was leaning on a battlement and looking out through the archery hole. He was holding a charcoal pen in his hand, writing the direction on the paper, and then throwing it to a soldier beside him, who immediately Go to the back of the city wall and start signaling.
After a while, the catapults of the Yan army in the city, which had been silent for a long time, finally began to counterattack!
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
The first round of volleys concentrated on the location of the Chu army's catapult group, causing great damage to the Chu army's catapult team in an instant.
With the catapult, it basically depends on luck wherever it hits. Draw a circle in the distance and hit it inside the circle. This is almost impossible, but if it is a salvo, everything will be fine. can be possible.
"Grandma, you are playing with technology, I am your ancestor."
The third master cursed, quickly wrote the position on the paper, and threw it to the other waiting person in front of him. scholar.
The second round of bombardment came. Compared with the Chu army's rough and crazy attacks, the Yan army's attacks were too accurate.
After two rounds of coverage, the power of the Chu army's next catapult was suddenly reduced by more than 50%.
At this time,
the Chu army’s arrow towers began to move forward, and a variety of siege equipment from behind also began to press forward.
The Chu army, which failed to gain any battlefield advantage and even failed to complete the removal of the Yan army's stronghold that was still resisting stubbornly on both wings outside the city, began a forced contact war to siege the city;
This means that the Chu army will pay huge casualties for this, and this is obviously not something that the commander of the opposite Chu army has to consider.
He just wanted to use human lives to fill the Nanguan of this town as quickly as possible, regardless of casualties.
Behind the city gate, Fan Li stood there silently with two axes on his shoulders;
Behind him, there were a group of strong soldiers wearing thick armor and holding swords and axes. Afterwards, there was a group of auxiliary soldiers holding jars of kerosene.
Semaphore, typed from above.
"General, here comes the order!"
Fan Li nodded,
raised both axes,
shouted:
"Open the door!"
.........
"Xia Zi opened a door for the world. Outside the door, there is ignorance, and behind the door, there are all the Xia..."
"From then on, the glory of Xia shrouded all directions. , The people of the world are all Xia people, and the soil of the world is all Xia soil..."
The lyrics are a bit straightforward, but paired with this special singing voice and some body movements, it shows There were some magnificent scenes.
This is the theme...
Zheng Fan no longer eats melon seeds, but he will still open his mouth and eat the preserved fruits sent by Siniang.
At the same time, the sound of catapults hitting each other kept coming, shaking the teacups on the coffee table;
The sound of fighting on the other side of the city wall was getting louder and louder. Outside the mansion, soldiers and civilians were constantly passing by quickly, and wounded people were being carried out from the front. They were still screaming when they passed the corridor outside the courtyard wall.
However, the Prince Regent in the courtyard continued to listen to the play.
Inside and outside the courtyard, there are completely two artistic conceptions and two atmospheres.
The only impact was probably that the old man had to play his erhu louder and the three women had to sing harder.
"Xiong Tingshan sent a group to sing Daxia songs and poems for me?"
The prince found it a bit difficult to understand,
continued:
"It can't be that Xiong Laowu of Chu who is paving the way for his surrender, right?"
The blind man said: "There must be a purpose."
The singing class continued to sing, and the content of the song was basically how great Daxia was, how difficult it was for a son to start a business in Daxia, and what was left behind by Daxia , has always been glorious and affects the world.
The lyrics in the script certainly rhyme neatly, but this cannot cover up the emptiness in its content.
Siniang smiled and said: "It's far worse than our social opera in eastern Shanxi."
At this time,
White smoke rose from the old man's erhu and entered the old man's mouth and nose. The old man's expression instantly became solemn, and there was no fear or cowardice in his eyes. He raised his head and looked straight at this place!
The blind man stood up, walked to Zheng Fan,
said:
"My lord, the show has begun."
...
"The main show has begun, crossbows, shoot for me!"
Xue San saw Fan Li rushing out of the city gate with his sword and ax battalion, splitting the Chu army in front of him. At the same time, the soldiers began to burn their arrow towers and other siege equipment.
Under Xue San's order, the previously unused bed crossbow and other heavy crossbows were pushed out by the Yan army.
The Jindong Palace has a complete workshop system. Over the years, it has not only completed a major change of military equipment, but also developed and designed many highly lethal war equipment.
A series of crossbow carts were pushed up and put together. Some were from three arrows, each of which was extremely thick and long. Some were based on quantity and were arranged densely.
"Pre-release!"
"Pre-release!"
The Chu army under the city wall was directly hit by the sudden and terrifying arrows. Confused , this kind of heavy crossbow, even if a martial arts master is shot, it can directly break through its protective aura, let alone ordinary soldiers, even if they are wearing armor, it will not help, they will still be pierced, and it is very likely that they will become string.
Relying on this extremely dense arrow screen, the battlefield below was cut instantly. The Chu army behind was unable to come to help in time, so Fan Li and others were able to calm down after hacking and setting fire to it. He retreated and returned to the city.
The Chu army's offensive had to be stalled;
But the Chu people obviously had a lot of preparations. In other words, the Chu people had long been thinking about taking back Zhennanguan. Over the years, The Chu army was not idle either.
Soon, the Chu people could be seen launching another batch of siege equipment on the city wall, and a new round of offensive and defensive battles began again.
Below, the Chu people's corpses had fallen one after another. Finally, a ladder was fixed, and the Chu army began to attack the city. The arrow tower was pushed closer again, and the two sides began to shoot at each other.
Qin Dayong slashed down a Chu soldier who was trying to climb up. Before he could turn around, an arrow shot from below hit him in the face;
To be precise, it was the face, the area around the mouth, that was pierced by the arrow.
Enduring the severe pain, Tan Dayong pulled out the arrow. Pao Ze took over his position to kill the enemy, while Tan Dayong squatted down with his back against the battlements.
He is in pain now. He feels like half of his face is rotten, but he cannot vent his pain by shouting because it will hurt even more.
“Go down and find a military doctor to bandage yourself!”
The commander shouted to Tan Dayong.
Tan Dayong shook his head;
Shi Chang kicked Tan Dayong in the stomach:
“Get the hell out of here, even a Chunu can’t fight without you, go!”
Qin Dayong had no choice but to nod his head and crawled to the back of the city wall. There was a citizen waiting there, and a citizen immediately helped him down.
When they arrived at the military doctor's tent, the civilian husband who had helped Qin Dayong call out a number. A clerk next to him made a record. The civilian husband immediately turned back and continued to look for the wounded.
The soldiers and civilians of Eastern Jin Dynasty were delighted when they heard about the battle, which was clearly reflected at this time. Whether they were regular soldiers or auxiliary soldiers or civilians, they were all working hard for their own military exploits.
In addition, the Shandong Army’s battlefield treatment system was established by Siniang herself. In the past, after every battle in Cuiliu Fort, Siniang would help treat wounds and suture them;
< br>In fact, every army has positions such as military doctors, but the Shandong Army is the most professional.
Adequate logistical medical support is indeed a large expense, but it is absolutely worth it and is a great value.
"It will hurt a little, just bear with it." The military doctor checked Qin Dayong's injury and said.
Tan Dayong nodded, and at the same time his eyes indicated that he was fine.
Then,
“Ah!”
Qin Dayong’s kick involved the wound again,
It hurt even more immediately:
< br>
"Ahhhh!!!"
Finally, the disinfection process was completed, and the military doctor helped Qin Dayong bandage the wound on his face.
"It's not a big deal, don't worry. Sit back and rest!"
Tin Dayong was already sweating profusely, and felt that Chu Nu was much cuter than the military medical officer in front of him.
At this time, another wounded soldier was carried over by the civilian husband.
The military medical officer who had just treated Tan Dayong walked towards him,
Then,
under Tan Dayong's gaze, the brother also said: "Ah!!!!"
Disinfection, stopping bleeding, and applying medicine, this process can save the lives of many soldiers who will die from infection, and also give our disabled soldiers more opportunities to return to the battlefield.
However, this process is definitely relatively simple and rough, and it is impossible to be as gentle and gentle as when you see a doctor at home.
In fact, many military doctors are doctors who were recruited during the war. Some of them also have official household status, but they can also work in the hospital on weekdays;
So, they need to be gentle and gentle when facing patients on weekdays. At this time, they seemed to have gained an inexplicable sense of catharsis and joy. Seeing the soldiers screaming in pain, smiles appeared on their faces from time to time.
Qin Dayong covered his face. He has been arranged to sit down and rest. The military medical officer thinks that it is best for you to rest and recuperate now, and it is best not to go to the front line;
And once the front line war breaks out Tighten up, these wounded who "sit down" will receive orders to return to battle. If the order is not issued, it means that there will be no big problems ahead.
Qin Dayong found a place covered with white cloth and sat down.
At this moment, he was not afraid that the arrow would hit him in the face if it strayed a little further. Instead, he felt a little lucky that he had already married his aunt.
I don’t know where the two brothers are now. Are they okay?
Not far away, a soldier who was receiving first aid looked like he was about to die. His wound was too big and the bleeding could not be stopped.
“What do you want to say?”
The military medical officer put his ear to him, wanting to hear his last words.
The wounded soldier pursed his lips,
opening his mouth...
...
The old man playing the erhu opened his mouth,
the sound was extremely loud at first. Hoarse, unable to speak;
Gradually, the voice finally came out:
"Does the Prince Regent know the destiny of the Great Summer?"
Zheng Fan smiled and said nothing.
"My lord, according to destiny, the Great Xia will rise and the world will enter a new era. Do you know that you have gone against the trend?"
Zheng Fan looked at the old man,
Dao:
"Then what is the original trend?"
"Yan, Jin, Chu, and Qian will all be subverted, and the new Daxia will rise again, going against Daxia Those who swear will be punished by heaven!
If the prince can turn around and follow the will of God, he will be protected by heaven, his descendants will be prosperous, and his health will last forever.
If he continues to act his own way, he will be abandoned by both heaven and earth! ”
What he said was a prophecy.
“Who are you?” Zheng Fan asked.
“We are people who obey the way of heaven, and we have come to take this opportunity to advise the prince;
God’s will cannot be violated. Even if we succeed for a while, how can we succeed for the rest of our lives?
The prince has done something against heaven, and the world's order has been disrupted by you. You should stop in time and give dignity to destiny, and destiny will also give dignity to the prince. ”
"Alas..."
Zheng Fan sighed.
"Your Majesty has been trapped in an urn. God has asked me to come and help you out of trouble. I have also given you the opportunity to obey the destiny of Heaven and do righteousness. Your Majesty, you should cherish it."
"But , the so-called destiny in your mouth, in Lone Eyes, is just like the script you sang before;
empty,
Boring,
meaningless.
This script is really crappy and lonely. I really can’t stand listening to it. "
"The prince means..."
"Dahu, send the order! ”
"Here!"
Liu Dahu cut off the chain of the big iron cage with a knife. The cage was opened, and a group of falcons flew out of the cage, soared into the sky, and then scattered. They were flying extremely fast, and the surrounding There are other falcons circling, and after echoing each other across a long distance, the message is transmitted faster.
In the eyes of the falcons soaring in the sky,
the vast land below,
black torrents, like giant dragons quietly awakening, are moving with the force of thunder. With the momentum, rush towards the royal flag at Zhennanguan!
In the courtyard,
the prince put his hands behind his back,
did not look at the old man,
but raised his eyes slightly and looked at the sky:
"The pen is in Gu's hand, so why should I sit and listen to you singing?
This script, no, this destiny,
Gu,
Why can't I write it myself?
Just in time,
Let’s use these 500,000 Chu elites first,
Polish my pen for me! "(End of this chapter)
