The forty-seventh chapter, the powerhouses of the past are here today 1
He suddenly heard a vague sound outside the hall. When he sent a look back, he saw Qin Banxia, the young lady of the Qin Langzhong, lying quietly in front of the window frame and looking inside. Only then did he remember that he was not wearing clothes on his upper body, so he quickly picked up his shirt and put it on his body.
Qin Banxia saw through the fact that he was secretly looking inward, and Wang Deng screamed softly, turned around and fled outside the Wu Temple.
Only Wang Deng shouted behind him: "I have something to tell you!"
Banxia stopped and covered her face with her robe sleeves, shyly unable to speak.
Wang Deng rushed out of the hall in two steps in three steps and came to Banxia: "There are now stockpiling hundreds of thousands of enemy cavalry outside the city, and I may not be able to come back alive this time."
He reached out and pulled Banxia's little hand out: "It's too late to say some things."
He took out a jade statue of Guanyin from his bag and handed it to Banxia: "This Guanyin was passed down from my family. It is said that it was the treasure given to my ancestors by Zen Master Foyin when he was in Hangzhou. It has always been placed on the female family members at home. My mother died early, so I was the only one who stayed with me. Today, I will hand this Guanyin to you in front of all the sages..."
He whispered: "No matter whether I go out or die, you are my own people. When the Mongolians are defeated, I will ask you to go to your father to ask for a recruitment."
Banxia's shameful face was like a blooming rose, but her anxious tears kept spinning in her eyes and said in a trembling voice: "You can't go? You are a general after all, and you don't have to go into battle yourself..."
Wang Deng smiled gently, and he gently stroked Banxia's black hair: "There will never be an enemy who can get close to you half an inch, and there will never be an enemy who can cross the city walls of Xiangyang, because I will be outside and defeat them all."
At this moment, he would rather have the magic to condense time forever, and never have the ambition to kill the sword and the sword.
But some people are destined to make trouble with him.
"When is it still doing these men and women's affairs?" Yang Yu's anxious voice came to his ears: "When you go out of the city first and kill the Tartars, then come under the moonlight of Huaqian!"
Wang Deng pushed Banxia away with a bitter smile, turned around and came to the hall to put on his armor. Two Beiwei soldiers hurried over to serve him wearing armor.
Wang Deng asked while wearing the ribbon on his body of iron armor: "Whose flag appears outside the city?"
"The teams landing in the north of the city are under the banner of Xingzhong Shushu Province to bind Chongshan, and the enemy's banner in the east of the city is written as Wanhu Tuoduan.
At the foot of the south of the city, the banner of Wanhu Jiagu Liuqi appeared. The west of the city..."
Yang Shao paused and frowned and said, "The west of the city is where the original formation is located. The central army is the king Tasi, the left wing is warm and not flowery, the right wing is Tuxue. The forward vanguard is Wanhuzhaosi. This is undoubtedly the direction of the enemy's main force."
Wang Deng also frowned: "Where is the Han soldiers?"
"Three thousand households of the Han army are crossing the river," Yang said: "Following the banner, Shi Tianze's troops should be the first to cross the river."
"Very good," said Wang Deng: "While their troops were not fully assembled, they just happened to go out and beat them off guard."
Yang Xu said: "The enemy probably deployed its troops between the west of Xiangyang City and Tanxi, with the purpose of deliberately luring our army out of the city with unfavorable terrain and annihilated in field battles. Last year, Yu Zhe was surrounded by Mongolian cavalry in the west of the city, and lost thousands of troops. After you leave the city, the enemy will do everything possible to lure you out of the cover of the city wall and move towards the open area, and then encircle the cavalry on all sides to annihilate it. After you leave the city, you don't have to rush to launch an attack immediately. As long as you take steps and fight steadily, the enemy will not be able to withstand the initiative to attack you. As long as you can continuously defeat their attacks, our goal of weakening morale will be achieved."
"The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly," Wang Deng picked up the knife on the ground: "Everything must be decided based on the battle situation at that time, let's go!" As he said that, he strided out of the hall, and Yang Shu grabbed his arm: "Listen, our goal is to kill the Mongols, not to sacrifice his life for the country. Don't listen to Zheng Yunming's lies too much and be confused. In the future, I will feel bored if I don't have your name as Wang Deng among the officials."
Wang Deng snorted: "Don't daydream anymore, a good man can survive this winter."
The two arrived at the gate of Xicheng. The Zhenwu Army had already completed the whole team. The soldiers under the banners were clearly dressed in armor and Wang Deng had trained carefully for the past year. The formation drums, war drums and gongs were arranged in front of the formation. Zheng Yunming, wearing silver armor, and the main members of the Deputy Chief Commander were waiting for their arrival.
He saw Wang Deng coming over with full arms, and stepped forward and grabbed Wang Deng's arm, shouting loudly towards the army: "The Hu people came here, and thought Xiangyang was determined to win. They would never have thought that there would be such a brave army in Xiangyang City that dared to go out of the city to fight with them head-on! The first formation will be handed over to your Zhenwu Army to fight. Just fight with your heart, let it go, and show the majesty and momentum of our army. Your fighting will be in full view on the top of the city. Some people are afraid to fight but not to advance, and some people are punished on the ground, some people do not obey the order, kill them, and some people capture the enemy generals, and reward them with a thousand yuan of money!"
He shouted, "Those who dare to fight live, and those who fear death die!"
Zhenwu Army responded in unison: "Those who dare to fight live, and those who fear death die!"
Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was shouting, Zheng Yunming pulled Wang Deng closer and told him: "This is our first battle. Be careful. Just fight with the Mongols for three rounds, no, five rounds, and you will complete your mission in five rounds. Allow you to retreat and stay in the city."
Wang Deng bowed and said yes, Zheng Yunming stepped back and left the last stage to the two commanders of Zhenwu Army.
Wang Deng bowed his hand to invite Ge Huai to speak. Ge Huai shyed his stomach and shouted loudly: "Tell me something about birds! I see you, the crunched birds, are you trembling like cats, and you are trembling. To be honest, are you scared when you see many Mongolians?"
A wave of protests came from the army: "Don't talk nonsense, we are not afraid!"
Ge Huai shook his beard and said slowly: "If you are afraid, you are afraid. Can Lao Ge still kill you? To be honest, not only are you afraid, but Lao Ge is also afraid."
Everyone knew that he liked to tell a joke, and they burst into laughter at this time.
"What are you laughing at!" Ge Huai deliberately looked serious: "You think Lao Ge's belly is all slutty and has no stomach. Isn't you afraid of seeing so many vicious Tartars outside the city? Everyone is afraid! But what can you be afraid? Who of you plans to really surrender to the Tartars? Try to surrender? Did you look at the little official behind us who looks kind-hearted? He kills people without blinking. I tell you! One person dares to surrender and kills one thousand people, and one thousand people want to escape. You six thousand people are not a big deal in his eyes! Many of you are veterans who came out of the army last year. They all told you the origin of the official. For him, killing a few people who defected in the battle, the old emperor in Lin'an is very happy! So I tell you that the road of wanting to escape or surrender is simply not possible!"
"You can't run away and you can't surrender, you won't have to wait for death!" Wang Deng laughed loudly with Ge Huai.
Ge Huai glared at him and raised his voice a little: "Now I want you to lower your head and look at your hands!"
The soldiers didn't understand what he meant, so they raised their hands to look at him.
"Spike, is the old cracked wound on the tiger's mouth still there? How thick is the calluses in the sword and shield, holding the shield and the handle? Archer! How many cracks are there on the fingers streaked by the bowstrings? Musketeers! Look at your hands that are blackened by gunpowder!"
He shouted loudly and almost roared: "These are the best proofs for you to defeat the Mongols!"
"Old Ge, I met the generals at the age of thirteen. I have followed Bi Ai to join the army! I have also followed more than a dozen generals and fought for decades! I can tell you without exaggeration that last year, the entire Zhenwu Army was the most strict in the entire Song Dynasty! Think about it, how many times you were trained by Wang Jingsong, who was like an evil ghost, collapsed on the side of the road, how many times you could not stand Wang Jingsong's harsh practice and cried secretly in the middle of the night! Think about it, how many times you practiced boring movements over and over under the wind and rain and the sun! Today is the reward for your life like hell this year! You are the strongest soldiers in the entire Song Dynasty! Open the city gates! The whole army is out, so that those Hu people who have won every battle can see what a real strong enemy is! My name is Zhenwu! I am Wu Weiyang!"
"I, Wu Weiyang!" A warm response came from the team.
Ge Huai took a step, his voice as loud as thunder: "I Wu Weiyang!"
This time the response felt even more thunderous: "I, Wu Weiyang!!"
Ge Huai took a deep breath and shouted with all his strength: "I, Wu Weiyang!"
He was greeted by five thousand people who shook the world: "I, Wu Weiyang!"
With such a loud roar, the Mongolian army that was deploying formations in the distance could hear it clearly.
Wang Deng pulled out his waist knife, and the sharp blade emitted a terrifying light in the sun. He shouted loudly: "Get out!"
The West City Gate slowly opened in a creaking rotation, the suspension bridge slowly lowered, and the road leading to the world's number one strong enemy in front had been opened. The drummers beat the forward formation drum, and five thousand Zhenwu soldiers lined up in a column. Under the guidance of the Gezi and Wangzi flags held high in the front, they slowly drove out of the West Gate and unfolded the formation in front of the city tower.
Wang Deng and Ge Huai followed behind the army on horseback, behind him was Zheng Yunming's anxious call: "Remember, you only need to play five rounds! Five rounds!"
Chapter completed!
