"Kill, kill, kill!" Huang Xin broke out with his last ounce of strength, and beheaded two Jingzhou sailors who rushed in front of him. Huang Xin couldn't count how many times this was the enemy's attack, because he didn't Counting the strength and leisure, there are fewer and fewer soldiers around him. There were hundreds of them before, but now there are only a few.
"Xiaotian, are Dai Yun and the others gone?" Huang Xin's body was already covered with wounds, his face was pale, it was caused by excessive blood loss, which made his mind dizzy, and he really wanted to close his eyes. Get a good night's sleep with your eyes, but he also knows that once he closes his eyes, he may never be able to open them for the rest of his life, so Huang Xin dare not sleep. In order to relieve his physical fatigue, he can only chat with the soldiers nearby Let's divert attention.
"General Dai, General Dai and the others have already broken through the siege!" The experienced soldier named Xiaotian next to him looked like a child, with an immature face and a not-so-tall body.
In fact, he is just a child. Xiaotian’s full name is Ye Xiaotian. In this era, names with two characters are normal. Names with more than three characters, unless they have special meanings, are all cheap names. His parents or himself took it at will. Ye Xiaotian lost his parents in his early years and survived by begging to eat tree bark and grass roots. Relying on the ground to raise this is called Xiaotian.
Ye Xiaotian was only sixteen after the Chinese New Year this year. At this age, he would be a child in junior high school. But in this war-torn era, Ye Xiaotian is a veteran of many battles. Ye Xiaotian's hands are full of calluses. These are all caused by his holding weapons all the year round. Ye Xiaotian has already experienced a lot of battles, big and small, and he has killed countless people. Ye Xiaotian is now a junior soldier in Hao Shao's army. Originally, according to Ye Xiaotian's age, Liu Mang wanted to force him Those who are thrown into the school to study are not allowed to join the army.
Liu Mang's requirements for joining the army, especially the main force, are above 18 and below 30 after all. Elderly. Either become an officer, or retire, and get the fertile land and retirement money from the Yangzhou government to re-farm, wives and children.
But because Ye Xiaotian has no parents since he was a child, he can say that those robes in the army are his family and his relatives, and he can't stay in school, because the evil spirit left by those murders on him will affect his life. to other children's.
That's why he stayed in the army.
"That's good, that's good!" A rare smile appeared on Huang Xin's face. As long as Dai Yun and the others can escape, then Huang Xin and the others will not be considered completely wiped out.
"Xiaotian, why don't you go with Dai Yun and the others!" Huang Xin asked Xiaotian next to him.
"And General Dai?" Ye Xiaotian thought for a while, he was still a child, so he naturally wanted to live. But Ye Xiaotian shook his head in a blink of an eye, "Xiaotian wants to follow the lieutenant general! General Hao said it. Xiaotian wants to protect the lieutenant general!" Ye Xiaotian said seriously to Huang Xin beside him.
"Protect me? Ha ha!" Huang Xin shook his head helplessly. In fact, Huang Xin was not a military commander at all. He Huang Xin was originally a genuine scribe. , but who would know that the world was in chaos, Huang Xin could only flee for his life, and later came to Yangzhou, His Royal Highness Shu Wang of Yangzhou recruited talents, Huang Xin went to try, and finally succeeded, the other lieutenants in the army The official positions are all military positions, and only the deputy generals of the Yangzhou Army are generally civilian positions. If Hao Shao is in charge of marching and fighting, then his task for Huang Xin is to talk to those soldiers, talk about family and loyal ministers with them.
Huang Xin was dismissive of this at first. For these eight big soldiers of Qiu, if these are useful, it is better to spend money to benefit a little bit, but the more he got in touch with him later, the more Huang Xin discovered the difference. The Qiubas in their eyes are so simple that they are in a mess. Although they don't understand the principles, they know that they will repay their kindness. Liu Wei, the king of Shu, gave them food, good land, houses, and shelter, so they are willing to do it for Liu. Reckless.
None of these soldiers are willing to kill or fight, but they have to. Even Ye Xiaotian, such a shy child, who would have known that no less than ten enemies died on that sword up.
It is because the Yangzhou Army's generals and deputy generals cooperate with each other, so the defection rate of the Yangzhou Army is very low, especially the main force can fight to the death until the last person 1 and no one will defect. Because they both know what to fight for.
Ye Xiaotian is a personal guard assigned by Hao Shao to Huang Xin to protect Huang Xin.
"Little Tian, you know, if my son is still alive, he might be about the same age as you!" Huang Xin looked at Ye Xiaotian, and suddenly put his hand on Ye Xiaotian's head, stroking it gently, but Ye Xiaotian His hair has long been stained red with blood and is wet.
"Really!" Ye Xiaotian smiled shyly.
"En!" Huang Xin looked at Ye Xiaotian and felt more and more pain in his heart. His child died in the war. If there was no war and the world was unified, his child would not die like this. Huang Xin is like this The reason why he steadfastly followed Liu Mang was because he believed that His Royal Highness the Holy King would lead them to bring peace to the world.
"What's his name?" Ye Xiaotian seemed a little interested in this peer.
"He, his name is Huang Lei." Huang Xin named his son Huang Lei because he hoped that his son would be as firm as a rock.
"It's great to have a father!" Ye Xiaotian said suddenly.
"En?" Huang Xin was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that Ye Xiaotian was a child without parents. "Xiao Tian, if you don't dislike him, be my son in the next life!"
"Son?" Ye Xiaotian was obviously dumbfounded by Huang Xin's words.
"Why don't you want to!"
"I, can I call you daddy!" Ye Xiaotian looked at Huang Xin's shy face with a hint of doubt and desire.
"Of course!" Huang Xin was very indifferent, they are in the same boat now, it can be said that the two are even more beautiful. He lost his family and son because of the war. And Ye Xiaotian has no parents.
"Father.!" Ye Xiaotian managed to squeeze out such a word from his mouth.
"Hey!" Huang Xin immediately agreed.
"Father, father, father!" Ye Xiaotian said more and more smoothly.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Huang Xin also responded in a loud voice. A rare smile appeared on the faces of both of them.
The soldiers on the side looked at the father and son and laughed knowingly.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The war drums on the city wall started beating again, and Huang Xin looked at the sunset in the evening, "I didn't expect that Huang Xin would have a good son before he died! The death of the soldiers is not terrible, killing one is enough , Kill two and earn money. We want to let those girls in Jingzhou know that there is not a single coward in our Yangzhou army! Fight to the death, fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death, fight to the death!" There were only less than two hundred people left in Huang Xin's south city gate, but their voices were indeed roaring, that kind of shout made the enemies below who were about to climb up the city wall to fight couldn't help but I became terrified.
"Fight to the death?" On the flagship of the Jingzhou Navy, Liu Pan's face was gloomy. He didn't expect that Huang Xin would be so stubborn. "Since you want to fight to the death, then go die!" There were not many standing figures left, most of them were dead.
"Pass down my military order. Take down the Yangtze River Water Village!"
"Yes!" Jingzhou's attack started again.
"Ka Ka Ka!" There was a loud bang, and Huang Xin heard it. That was the sound of the city gate being breached. The south city gate was blocked long ago and could not be broken through at all, so the one that could make such a sound was the north city gate.
The north city gate has been broken.
"Hehe, I, Huang Xin, can be regarded as a dead country, Xiaotian, in the Hall of Heroes, you and my father and son are gods in the same hall!"
"Kill!" Huang Xin rushed out with his exhausted body, his saber was thrown away, his armor was shattered, he had no strength left, and fell to the ground, he lost too much blood, "My lord , Huang Xin is going!" Huang Xin slowly closed his eyes, and he seemed to hear Ye Xiaotian's heart-piercing cry before he closed his eyes.
"Listen, military commander, listen, this is the sound of the city gate being breached, the north city gate is broken!" Liu Pan's deputy general was reporting to Liu Pan, "Congratulations to the military division, congratulations to the military division. The Yangtze River Water Village, like this, is just around the corner to capture Xinye.”
"Hahahaha! All of this depends on everyone's assistance, otherwise how could we have achieved such achievements!" Liu Pan said very modestly.
"The military master is humble. It is the military master who planned the strategy. We just obeyed the military master's order, so this great achievement is still the military master's. When the lord knows the military master's victory, he will definitely work hard for the military master's victory!" The school on the side All the Weis were flattering Liu Pan with a smile. When will they not flatter the horses now? After taking down the Yangtze River Water Village and attacking Xinye, they will have a little face in Jingzhou.
You must know that the whole of Jingzhou has a pessimistic attitude these days. There has been no victory in the battle with the Yangzhou navy.
So Jingzhou is in desperate need of a victory. Now that the Yangtze River Water Village has been won, Liu Pan's position among the gangsters in Jingzhou will really be the captain of the battle. Look! Huang Zu, Wenpin, these well-known generals in Jingzhou, but in front of the Yangzhou army, they all lost troops and lost generals, but he Liu Pan was able to win the battle. If it is said, it means that Liu Pan is better than this Wenpin Huang Zu Be strong! The opponent you can't handle, I won.
When Liu Pan took over as the Jingzhou military adviser, there were many people who opposed it. The most important reason for opposition was that Liu Pan's qualifications were not enough. Now if Liu Pan wins, this qualification will naturally not dare to say anything.
"Haha, this celebration banquet is naturally indispensable to all of you here. I will definitely report to my lord and tell you about your contributions!" Liu Pan was carried in a sedan chair, so he naturally wanted to give these school captains some sweetness.
"That's why I would like to thank the military division for cultivating me!"
"Military division, it's not good for the military division to be blown by the strong wind on the river, why not go to the Yangtze river water village to escape the cold!" A school captain next to him said, the wind on the Yangtze River is strong? It is indeed cold and windy above the Yangtze River, but a general who is fighting will care about these things. Liu Pan has not been standing on the flagship for a while, it has been several hours. Don't call it cold before, say it now. This means to let Liu Pan enter the Yangtze River Water Village as a victor.
This Yangtze River Water Village is already a spoil of war for Jingzhou. What could be better than enjoying your own spoils.
"Okay, okay! Everyone has been blowing in the Yangtze River for enough time, and we should take shelter from the wind. Pass our military order, and the army will march towards the Yangtze River water village. Let's enter the water village and celebrate!"
"Yes!" Liu Pan's order was issued quickly, and the south gate had already been breached. The warships of the Jingzhou Navy in the front have already stationed in the Yangtze River Water Village one by one.
"Why is this fire still burning!" Liu Pan over there saw that the fire in the Yangtze River Water Village was still burning, and was about to send people to put out the flames.
"It's a disaster, it's a disaster!" At Jingzhou soldiers and horses, more than a dozen warships have entered the Yangtze River Water Village, and seeing that Liu Pan's flagship is about to enter the Yangtze River Water Village, a messenger suddenly came and shouted shouted.
"What a shame to be so frizzy!" Liu Pan's lieutenant general next to him immediately scolded, everyone here is congratulating you on getting rich, but you're saying something bad here, isn't this intentional. What disaster is more exciting than breaking the Yangtze River water fortress.
"What's wrong?" Liu Pan waved his hand and asked the messenger.
"Military division, military division, our army has 20,000 troops. 20,000 troops!" The messenger ran so fast that he couldn't finish speaking in one breath, making Liu Pan frown a little.
"What happened to the 20,000 army?" Liu Pan asked.
"The 20,000 army is over!"
"It's over?" Liu Pan and one of his subordinates, Jingzhou Wenwu, didn't understand. What is it? Liu Pan hasn't figured out what's going on with Mingbao yet, but another intelligence has arrived.
"Report, report, it's not good, military advisor, it's not good, military advisor, Yangtze River Water Village, Yangtze River Water Village!" Another messenger ran in over there.
"What happened to the Yangtze River Water Village?" Liu Pan had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Report to the military division of the Yangtze River Water Village, the Yangzhou Army has appeared in the Yangtze River Water Village!" The messenger reported.
"The Yangtze River Water Village was originally established by the Yangzhou Army. It's not normal to have the Yangzhou Army. Those remnant soldiers can send a few thousand-man teams to clean them up. Why bother with the military division!" From their point of view, the Yangtze River Water Village has been breached, so how capable are the remnants of Yangzhou in the Yangtze River Water Village.
"No, no!"
"Report, ask for help, General Zuo Cheng asks for reinforcements!" Another messenger ran in and shouted loudly at Liu Pan and others.
"Reinforcements? What kind of reinforcements does Zuo Cheng want? Doesn't he have 5,000 troops under his command? His 5,000 troops didn't participate in the siege! What kind of reinforcements does he want!" The commander of the ship, a total of twelve warships with five thousand troops.
"Kill, kill, kill!" The shouts of killing erupted all day in the Yangtze River water village.
"What's going on, who will tell me!" Liu Pan couldn't help it, and roared loudly. "Could it be that his Yangzhou Army still has ambushes in the Yangtze River Water Village!"
Naturally, there were no ambushes. If there were ambushes, why would the Yangtze River Water Village fight so hard.
"Master Huang, Master Huang wake up!" A general was hugging Huang Xin's body and shaking Huang Xin, "Master Huang can't sleep, can't sleep!"
"Father, father, don't die, don't die." Ye Xiaotian beside him also shook Huang Xin.
"Father?" Dai Yun was stunned for a moment, when did Ye Xiaotian call Huang Xin's father? Ye Xiaotian is Huang Xin's personal guard, how he became a son, the people next to him explained to Dai Yun, and Dai Yun knew that Huang Xin accepted Ye Xiaotian as his son at the last moment in order not to leave any regrets for himself.
"Father, you can't die, you said you want to be my father!" Ye Xiaotian cried even more sadly, he was raised by Ye Xiaotian, and he didn't know who his parents were since he was born, so he finally found such a father, could it be I have to leave him too. Huang Xin's hands were already cold, his face was pale, and there was less air in his nasal cavity and more air out.
Ye Xiaotian's tears dripped down, causing Dai Yun beside him to look sideways at him. You must know that although Ye Xiaotian is small, he is very determined. Dai Yun once saw Ye Xiaotian fall off his horse while riding a horse, throwing his His arm was broken, but Ye Xiaotian didn't say a word, he gritted his teeth and took the broken arm back without a word. At that time, cold sweat broke out on Ye Xiaotian's forehead, and he didn't even cry.
But now Ye Xiaotian is crying.
"Tick tock, tick tock!" Ye Xiaotian has never cried once in so many years, but this time he cried very sadly.
"Cough cough cough cough" Suddenly, Huang Xin in Ye Xiaotian's arms seemed to move.
"Dad, dad!" Ye Xiaotian became excited, his eyes widened, his tears hit Huang Xin's face, and fell on the corner of Huang Xin's mouth. Water is the source of life, and Huang Xin has a kind of Survival day, he seemed to hear someone calling him, and only then was he able to open his eyes again from the drowsiness.
"Xiaotian!" Huang Xin opened his eyes and looked at Xiaotian beside him.
"Father!" Ye Xiaotian wept with joy.
"Master Huang! It's great that you're all right!" Dai Yun, who was beside him, saw Huang Xin wake up, and said happily.
"Dai Yun? So you're dead too!" Huang Xin sighed, General Huang had failed the general's entrustment.
"Dead?" Dai Yun was stunned for a moment, but Dai Yun was alive and well, what the hell! But then he reacted and said with a smile, "Master Huang, Dai Yun is not dead, you are not dead, Xiaotian is not dead, everyone is alive!" Dai Yun said to Huang Xin.
"He's not dead?" Huang Xin moved his body, feeling a piercing pain, and felt that he was still alive. But the joy that was born immediately turned into anger, "Could it be that you are back again? Who told you to come back, didn't you tell you to go to the general, you want to come back! Don't you want me and the soldiers who covered your retreat to die? Well!"
"Master Huang, Master Huang, please be safe and don't be impatient, it's not that I want them to come back!"
"Who is that!"
"It's me!" A man in golden armor walked in with a cold face.
"Wen, Lord Wenhou!" (To be continued...)
