It is said that fate is a little joke played by God and human beings, but Xiao Han, who looked confused, thought that this joke was a bit... too big?
One second ago, he was still with a few friends from the orphanage, cursing the harsh world and the injustice of God. A mad dog usually runs around on the street carrying a few beer bottles. How could he end up in this inexplicable place in one thought and one step?
"It's dawn? So soon?"
Xiao Han raised his hand and wiped his eyes. The transition from darkness to light was so fast that his eyes couldn't adapt.
Feeling something heavy in his right hand, Xiao Han lowered his head in confusion. In his white field of vision, a long reflective object was tightly grasped in his hand.
"knife?"
As his vision gradually recovered, Xiao Han, who was in a state of chaos, finally saw that the hand that was supposed to be holding half a bottle of beer had been replaced by a broken knife more than one meter long.
It's said to be a broken knife, but it's really broken and has a bit of personality. You can see several large and small gaps on the edge of the knife with the naked eye. If Xiao Han was asked to truly evaluate it, I think the name "saw" is more suitable... …
"Who am I? Where am I?" Xiao Han weakly uttered a line that was used in bad domestic movies... Then he widened his innocent eyes and forced himself to look away from this sickle-like scimitar. He pulled it back and looked forward.
In front of Xiao Han, there were densely packed soldiers in uniforms as far as the eye could see, standing solemnly. No one moved around, and no one spoke. There was only the sound of suppressed breathing, and a depressing atmosphere that made people palpitate.
He turned around mechanically and looked back. Behind him stood a sparse row of strong men in red! Each one of them had half of his arm, holding a beheading knife of the same standard in his hand. When he saw himself looking back, each one of them looked over with a bull's eye. Xiao Han looked at him with such ferocious eyes that he couldn't help but beat him in this hot day. A shiver, what is this? Do you still need to charge a visit fee? Turn your head quickly!
But even so, in this short period of time, he saw another huge corps a few hundred meters away from him. At this moment, Xiao Han only had doubts in his heart...
"Did you see a ghost at night?" Xiao Han thought about it carefully and suddenly felt chills all over his body!
"Oh! Wasn't this area said to be haunted when I was a kid?! As soon as the asphalt roads were paved over the years, how could I forget about this?! But growing up under the red flag and studying Marx, how could I encounter that thing! But in front of me is this thing? It’s clearly an ancient battlefield! Aren’t you having fun on the main road in the city? Why are you here? Even if it’s a dream, you shouldn’t have such a strange dream! Other than encountering a ghost, what other explanation is there?!”
Xiao Han, who had been completely stupid, didn't know that this was the first year of Wude. Xue Ju led an army of 100,000 to march directly to Chang'an. The founding emperor Li Yuan ordered his second son Li Shimin to hoard troops at Gao'an to block his advance. During this period, Li Shimin was seriously ill, and his general Yin After opening the mountain, Liu Wenjing privately opened the city gate and went out to fight, so the scene he saw happened.
On the desolate and dim battlefield, the chilling atmosphere seemed to have been driven away by even the heat of the sun. Boundless military formations were displayed on both sides of the battlefield, and the only sound in the air was the strong sound of flags blowing in the strong wind.
Suddenly, the horn sounded, and the sound was deep and deep, reaching into the clouds!
In the crowd, Xiao Han didn't come out of his dazed state at all, or in other words, he hadn't decided whether to look for the black donkey's hooves or the cross, so he was suddenly startled by the sound of the horn. Then, he didn't understand what happened. Something happened, and I saw the expressions of the people around me suddenly turned ferocious as the horn sounded. They all looked like fierce ghosts! He didn't know what he was yelling indiscriminately. In his almost dull eyes, they each waved their weapons and rushed forward!
"Rumble..."
There are over 10,000 people, boundless, and the sound of footsteps alone echoes across the earth like thunder! And along with the rumbling footsteps and crazy shouts, in the blink of an eye, only Xiao Han was left standing alone, blinking his big innocent eyes and looking over...
"If it's a ghost, why are you running away now? I must have drunk too much and am dreaming now, um, it must be! The damn wine must be mixed with alcohol, profiteer!"
Seeing the suddenly deserted surroundings, Xiao Han was so surprised that his knife fell to the ground! Pick it up quickly, the teacher said, littering is not a good boy! I took the opportunity to calm down my excitement, and then comforted myself with absolute certainty that this was a dream!
Just as he was thinking about succumbing to drowsiness, unexpectedly, as soon as he closed his eyes, a rich Guanzhong accent suddenly rang out next to his ears, which made Xiao Han's ears buzz, as if two bees had flown in. !
"What are you doing! Charge me quickly. Anyone who retreats without permission will be killed!"
Poor Xiao Han was startled by the sudden explosion in his ears, and almost threw away the broken knife he had just picked up! After being stunned for a moment, Xiao Han's body suddenly went against the rules of science. His lower body didn't move, and his upper body turned sharply to look back, only to see that at some point, a strong man in red with a knife was standing close behind him! The strong body that was a head taller than him looked like a giant beast, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, staring at him fiercely! The snow-white steel knife in his hand reflected cold light.
"My day, is it so real?!"
Xiao Han was startled by this big man. Moreover, this big man was leaning behind him. In fact, it was not too much to describe it as sticking. The hot breath from his mouth was sprayed on his face!
"What is this? Terracotta Warriors and Horses?" Although he was scolded a lot, the big man's Guanzhong accent was too strong and it was extremely difficult for Xiao Han to hear it. Moreover, he was so confused now that he couldn't react. He thought he was still in a dream. I don’t know why, but something in my brain suddenly twitched, and I subconsciously touched this dear man’s face…
By the way, Zhang Qiang has been supervising the battle team for more than a year, and he has seen many new recruits who dare not charge when they go to the battlefield for the first time!
In the previous battles, we had seen people begging for mercy, threatening people, and even breaking down. But under his own sword, didn't everyone just wipe away their tears and snot and rush forward? As for whether he lives or dies, who cares? It’s not a happy life in this shitty world! But this guy is the only one who looks a little strange today.
Why is it strange? Zhang Qiang couldn't tell, but it was very strange to see him dare to look at him curiously under such circumstances... Wait, what is he going to do? Hiss... How dare he pull his beard? !
When that white little hand grabbed his beard, Zhang Qiang was stunned until Xiao Han lifted it up again...
"Wow... Damn it! You coward, look at the knife!!"
"Hold the grass!"
Xiao Han, who was still pulling at other people's beards, didn't expect that this guy would cut him off as soon as he asked, blurting out a national curse.
And even though he thought he was in a nightmare, when the steel knife was about to cut off, Xiao Han still relied on his instinctive reaction to roll on the spot, barely escaping the powerful and heavy knife, but his body was shattered by pieces on the ground. There was some pain from the rocks and mud.
Wait, it hurts?
Before Xiao Han could get up from the ground, a thought suddenly rose in his mind, like a thunderbolt from the blue, which struck Xiao Han's head and made him buzz. Wasn't this in a dream? Why does it hurt?
"Wait, hero, spare your life! Let me think first!" Xiao Han lay on the ground, raised his arms and waved randomly towards Zhang Qiang. But now my mind is in chaos, like a tangled ball of wool, and I can't figure it out at all!
But soon, Xiao Han discovered that he no longer needed to worry about this issue!
It was too late to say it, but it was so fast. Before Xiao Han could finish shouting the last word, a loud thunder-like sound suddenly sounded. The sound was so loud that Xiao Han even felt that the whole earth beneath him seemed to be shaking. stand up!
On the ground, all the pebbles that had hurt him just jumped up! The floating dust spread and Xiao Han, who was lying on the ground, was startled at first. He turned his head and looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw countless men and horses coming out of the low hills on both sides behind him, with black armor and white swords! The flood rushed towards his rear, and the smoke splashed by the horses' hooves rose into the sky. For a moment, the whole world seemed to be filled with the rumble of horse hooves!
"Kill!!! Kill!!!"
"Rumble..."
This was the first time in Xiao Han's life that he saw a cavalry attack at close range. The black cloud-like horses rushed towards the army behind him with an unstoppable momentum. The shouts of death and the thunderous sound of horse hooves seemed to shatter the whole world. , all Xiao Han's sight was filled with countless cavalrymen coming like a tide. In front of the madly incoming cavalry, the regiment composed entirely of infantry was like a trembling quail under this torrent. The contact is already showing signs of collapse!
It only took a long time to talk about all this, but in fact, it only took a few moments from happening to now! Zhang Qiang was so angry that he didn't even have time to look back. He only heard the loud shouts of killing behind him, and suddenly felt as if he had been punched in the back! A mouthful of blood rushed directly to his throat! The man also stumbled forward a few steps. In a panic, he quickly inserted the big knife into the ground, and then managed to stand firm!
At this moment, Zhang Qiang discovered that on the hills behind him on both sides of the city, countless enemy troops shot out of thin air. They were as dense as locusts and pounced on the army behind him. For a moment, the entire rear area was filled with smoke and dust! The sound of killing shook the sky!
Seeing this, Zhang Qiang's heart suddenly felt like it was immersed in ice! Holding back a hint of sweetness in his throat, he turned around and roared: "There is an ambush! Return to the army quickly for rescue!!!"
But at this moment, their center and forward troops have all reached the front, and only the rear troops are left to fight hastily. The enemy is calculated and not careful. The panic-stricken soldiers on their side are no match for the elite troops ambush. With just one contact, The already chaotic formation was completely broken up!
The cavalry was like thunder, the infantry was like fire, and a huge wave swallowed up Zhang Qiang's team. From a distance, he saw his compatriots being killed by steel swords. Zhang Qiang's eyes were split, and he endured the severe pain in his back. He roared and was about to Charge forward with the knife in hand!
Even if he dies, he still has someone to support him!
Zhang Qiang shivered and stood up. He had just taken two steps forward when unexpectedly a hand stretched out from the ground and grabbed the foot he had just taken. Zhang Qiang's center of gravity became unstable for a moment and he fell to the ground. It fell very hard this time! Coupled with the injury on his back, he almost went to see Confucius...
"Hiss...it fucking hurts!" Zhang Qiang fell heavily to the ground, and the hard loess ground was slapped with a "bang" sound. Zhang Qiang felt as if his internal organs had moved, especially the severe pain in his back, which hurt him so much. The whole back muscles are twitching!
But seeing the purgatory-like battlefield in front of him, all the blood in Zhang Qiang's body rushed to his brain! Holding back the severe pain, an extremely angry Zhang Qiang yelled at Xiao Han next to him: "Get away! You coward!"
"You called me a coward?" Xiao Han, who was lying on the ground, suddenly became furious when he heard this. Although he still couldn't accept the current situation for a while, he saw the army sweeping past and saved his life out of good intentions. Such an act of repaying evil with kindness. In exchange for a reputation?
"Fend for yourself!" Xiao Han cursed angrily. Seeing the cavalry behind him roaring past not far away, he was so frightened that he lowered his head and let the loess get into his nostrils. He lay on the ground and moved. He didn't dare to move, and luckily he was in a relatively close position. If he had been in the middle of the battlefield, he would have been trampled to death by this horse's hooves!
At this time, on the rear battlefield, the soldiers on Xiao Han and Zhang Qiang's side were all killed and some fled. The forward and middle troops wanted to turn around to rescue them, but the enemy's front troops were tightly clinging to them. As long as they dared If you look back, it will inevitably turn into a big rout!
Liu Wenjing, who was standing on the high city wall and taking command, was trembling all over. Seeing that this defeat had become an unavoidable reality, she felt that her heart was bleeding and her mind was buzzing. It took a long time before she thought of withdrawing her troops.
"Ming Jin! Retreat the troops!"
Liu Wenjing, who was angry and regretful, yelled out this order with almost all her strength. Then her vision went dark and she fell backwards!
"Dang-dang-dang..." A rapid sound of gongs came from the distant city. Even though there were various shouts of killing around, the sound of horse hooves could not cover up this clear sound. The war only lasted a few minutes, and the victory or defeat was already decided. Separate.
Xiao Han, who was not too far away from the big city, naturally heard the sound of these gongs. Before he could figure out what the sound of the gongs was for, he suddenly saw countless soldiers who had rushed out in front of him running back as hard as they could. , and the cavalry that just galloped past was cutting through the crowd like wheat, leaving a trail of blood behind them! Some blood flowers even sprayed four or five meters into the air. The red color of the blood looked so alluring in the sunlight!
Run, run with all his strength, Xiao Han estimates that he has never run so fast in his life, and this is even when he is carrying a person on his back. Poor Zhang Qiang was already seriously injured, and then Xiao Han carried him so fast, He immediately rolled his eyes and fainted!
On the battlefield, the disintegrating army is often like a group of lunatics, running back desperately, even if there is a sharp blade in front of it. In this case, the elite soldiers who just made a surprise attack behind do not dare to blunt its edge. He had no choice but to get out of the way for the time being and shoot randomly with the bow and arrow he brought with him. Xiao Han was also wrapped in the rolling crowd at this moment. He felt the whistling arrows above his head. He lowered his head and ran towards the city gate with all his strength. He felt in his heart I only have one thought: "I am a poor Taoist, but I am not a Taoist. Brother, help me block it..."
On the vast battlefield, the Tang Dynasty side was completely defeated. Xue Ju's army came to kill them in large numbers. Seeing that the situation was not good, General Yin Kaishan had to immediately order the city gates to be closed tightly to prevent Xue Ju from entering directly through the city!
The huge city gate, which was only opened for a short while, was slowly closed again with the efforts of several groups of auxiliary soldiers. At this time, there were countless Tang soldiers outside the city who had no time to enter the city, but among them were countless Xue Ju's troops. , even though the Tang soldiers below the city shouted wildly, the door still closed in their desperate eyes until there was no gap! The battlefield is cruel, both in ancient and modern times.
Xiao Han was one of the lucky ones who entered the city at the last moment. The outside of the city had become a Shura battlefield. The soldiers left behind on the city wall shed tears and shot arrows at random. The people below the city had already become red-eyed and ignored the murderous threats above their heads. The flying arrows can no longer be distinguished between enemies and teammates. They just remember to stab the weapon in their hands into anyone standing in front of them! Until I also lay on the ground...
The tragedy outside the city was indescribable, and the situation inside the city was not much better at this time.
The huge city was full of defeated soldiers who had abandoned their armor. The defeat was so disastrous that no one even gathered the troops. It was not until half an hour later that the city defense army was sure that Xue Ju would not attack the city directly, and then several soldiers were separated. The team came down and returned to the team to treat the wounded.
The streets in the center of the city were filled with wailing and crying soldiers. The avenue at the gate of the city spread to an invisible distance. Some uninjured veterans ran back and forth among the crowd, carrying the injured soldiers to the military doctor's office in the distance. , there is no way, most of the injured are young boys, while the veterans mostly have very light scratches, and few are seriously injured.
This is not because veterans are not brave in combat. In fact, a veteran can do much more damage on the battlefield than a recruit. In this world, people who have fought for the rest of their lives have no luck and can only rely on themselves!
"Hey, from your team?! Why don't you go help if you're not injured!"
Xiao Han had been sitting on the street corner and being silly since he returned to the city. No one cared about him. He had been there in a daze for a while. He was planning to give himself a slap in the face when he suddenly heard a breathless person in front of him. A loud voice came, and when he looked up, he saw a strong man with a beard staring at him angrily.
"Which team am I in?" Xiao Han was startled again when he heard Bearded's words. Which team is he in? How could he know whether his team, the Young Pioneers, was good?
When Xiao Han looked like a goose with a beard, he thought he was shocked just after coming off the battlefield. This kind of thing was so common among recruits, so he wasn't surprised.
Looking at Xiao Han's blank face, the beard's expression softened slightly, and he was about to skip him to inspect other places. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure behind Xiao Han, with his head lowered and his hair disheveled, looking inexplicably a little. familiar.
"Boy, who is behind you?" the bearded man asked with a frown.
Xiao Han looked at him stupidly and replied: "I don't know him. I just saw him injured on the battlefield, so I took him back on my back."
When the bearded man heard this, his frown suddenly relaxed a little, thinking that this boy looked stupid and stupid, but in that situation, he could still remember the robes of the rescue army, but he was still a good soldier!
"Okay, never give up on Paoze! It's really good!" The bearded man walked up to Xiao Han, first squatted down and praised him, and then used his calloused hands to pick up Zhang Qiang's head next to Xiao Han and take a closer look.
Who would have expected that when he saw this familiar face, his heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly pushed Xiao Han aside who had just praised him, and touched Zhang Qiang's neck a few times with his big hands!
Boss Xiao Han was dissatisfied: "You just talk, who are you talking to? Why did you get started?"
But at this moment, the bearded man's thoughts were all on Zhang Qiang, and he couldn't care less about what Xiao Han was chattering about. Feeling the pulse still beating in Zhang Qiang's neck, he quickly turned his head and shouted behind him: "Someone is here, someone is here quickly! Send him to Divine Doctor Hua! Ask Divine Doctor Hua to treat him quickly!"
The street is now extremely chaotic. It may be the first time for two young soldiers to encounter this kind of fighting situation. They are watching the veterans working at a loss when they suddenly hear the shouts of the bearded people. They look at each other and see in their four eyes. Finally there is a feeling of relief!
"Finally found a job! It was assigned by the commander!" The two soldiers waved their hands and ran over in a hurry, jumping over Xiao Han. One of them pulled Zhang Qiang's hand, and the other pulled his foot. They lifted Zhang Qiang and were about to run into the city, but Xiao Han was now He didn’t know what to do and no one paid attention to him! Just getting up from the ground, seeing such a scene, I subconsciously started running with the two of them.
After all, Zhang Qiang is the only person he knows here. Although he wanted to kill him just now, who gave him so much? Besides, he saved his life by himself, even though the original purpose was to let him block arrows for him behind his back...
"Get out of the way, get out of the way! First aid!"
Two excited soldiers carried Zhang Qiang and ran for the road while shouting. People on the street heard the sound and didn't know what happened. No one blocked the way. They just stepped aside and looked at the people running along the way curiously. Xiao Han followed closely behind the two soldiers, watching the long arrow stuck behind Zhang Qiang touching the ground from time to time, and then looking at the blood dripping all the way, he couldn't help but grin... How painful it is!
"Be careful, grandma's legs!" Bearded and wearing a heavy helmet, he couldn't run fast at all and fell far behind. Seeing this, his heart ached in pain and he shouted twice, but in this noisy environment , the moment his voice came out, he was drowned in various screams. Just as he was about to run a few steps to catch up, he suddenly felt someone pulling him next to him.
"Grandma's! Who?!" The bearded man looked to the side angrily, and saw a running and panting soldier holding his armor tightly, shouting out of breath: "Liu Canjun, hurry up! Big!" The general summons you urgently! Go quickly!"
"Oh! What the hell is this?!" The bearded man felt helpless and had no choice but to take one last look at Xiao Han and the others who were walking away, stamped his feet fiercely, and hurriedly followed the soldiers away...
Doctor Hua, whose name is unknown, is a military doctor in the army. It is said that he is a descendant of Hua Tuo. It doesn’t matter. Do people named Hua like to stay in the military camp? Have they forgotten how Hua Tuo lost his head? of?
Alas, Doctor Hua actually has his own difficulties. If he goes, he may lose his head. If he doesn't go, his head will definitely fall off!
In this world, doctors are rare animals, let alone those who practice medicine in the military. There are even fewer of them. This time in Gao'an, the King of Qin Li Shimin led more than 40,000 troops, among whom the number of military doctors was no more than two hands. , this was still conscripted by force!
Who knew that this first battle would be a huge defeat. According to people who had just returned from the front line, only more than 10,000 of the more than 40,000 people were able to return, and the rest were killed on the battlefield, and these more than 10,000 Half of the people were injured, so Old Man Hua was so exhausted that he almost even put himself in the injured team!
At this moment, he was squatting on the side of the road with his medical kit to treat the wounded. Outside, there was a crowd of onlookers, and behind him, there was a long queue, all of which were newly injured people. The old man was so tired and dizzy that he applied medicine to the wrong place several times.
Outside the crowd, Xiao Han followed the two soldiers, twisting and turning, and finally entered the crowd. Xiao Han just saw a skinny old man squatting on the ground, applying medicine to a strong man who had been stabbed on the arm, and carrying Zhang Qiang's hand. The two soldiers "placed" Zhang Qiang heavily next to the old man.
Just hearing a "plop" sound almost startled the old man!
