Chapter 71 Watching
The trumpet of the expedition has never stopped since dawn.
The military camp was like a giant beast awakening, stretching its body, bowing its waist and falling back, and slowly taking steps in the wilderness.
The head of the giant beast is located with a flag that soars straight into the sky, so that even soldiers at the farthest can see it.
However, this time, the familiar ones from the soldiers were different. In addition to General Chu's big black flag, there was also a bright yellow flag.
"No matter how you look at this flag, it's a bit wrong." Ale whispered.
She is no longer an unknown maid in the countryside. She is the maid who participated in the ceremony of the queen's enthronement and controls the inner palace.
She has seen the emperor and the empress’s ceremonial guard—
"It's right if it's wrong." Xie Yanlai said, "Where is the right thing to do at this time? It's great that so many opera troupes can be found nearby. It's good that they can collect so many flags from the opera troupes to sew them together."
The flag on the stage, Ale laughed: "Can it work?"
"This is a border county and a military camp. How many people have seen the Queen's Phoenix Flag?" Xie Yan said, "The flag doesn't matter, just be true."
As they spoke, horses stomped behind them, and the mighty armored soldiers slowly came. Ding Dachui walked in the front with a serious expression and no weak legs. It was not the first time he was the queen's guard.
"The Empress is here--" Ding Dachui shouted loudly with the voice he practiced from the mountains to drive prey.
The shouts resounded throughout the wilderness, and all the soldiers in the military formation looked at each other. Seeing the commander's high car coming slowly, it was not the familiar General Chu, but a woman.
The woman was wearing a gorgeous robe she had never seen before, and the crown on her head was dazzling, as if a phoenix flew from the sky and fell into the black military formation as brilliant as colorful clouds.
This is the queen.
Everyone knows the queen, and the queen often gallops in the army, but they have always seen Miss Chu, and they have only truly felt the queen.
"Xiliang took advantage of the turmoil of our Daxia Kingdom, and the late emperor passed away. When the new emperor was young, he invaded our border counties and injured our people. As the queen, I am a mother and I am the world, and all the people in the world should protect you."
Chu Zhao's voice was clear in the coach's high car.
"I, Chu Zhao, went to the front line in person and in the name of the Queen of Daxia, in charge of Xiliang, those who violated our country's territory would kill, and those who injured our people would kill."
"Please kill all the soldiers with me, help me kill the enemy, bless my territory of Daxia, and protect my people of Daxia!"
Countless soldiers shouted in unison in an instant, "Kill the enemy--"
It's like a roaring beast.
Xie Yan raised his hand, the war drums sounded, and the flags were waved from all directions, and the beasts jumped and ran wildly on the ground.
......
......
The King of Xiliang's army was like a tide, rushing from all directions, and biting like a mad python, tearing open one hole after another.
This is a battle that has never been seen before. It is difficult to distinguish between the north and the south, and it has disrupted the vanguard scout cavalry and infantry formation.
From dawn to dark, from dawn to dawn.
Listening to the urgent reports again and again, Chu Zhao was a little confused while sitting in the coach's car. She could not command except to encourage morale.
Although the four generals are brave and good at fighting, in such a large-scale battle, in addition to each person's bravery, someone must also maximize their courage.
She didn't know how to preside over the overall situation, so that the generals were as flexible as their hands and eyes, and their morale was a little wrong.
"The Xiliang army kept shouting, Chu Ku was dead—" Ding Dahui said, "Although Xie Du will be in the back-up defense, there are more and more signs of retreat ahead--"
He did not think that the soldiers were not brave at all. When hunting in the mountains, if the prey kept shouting in front of him and ran away, he would be in a panic and could not keep the trap-
When you are extremely focused, the more likely you are to panic.
what to do?
I just regret that she did not learn to fight with her father.
"General Wei Chu Ji is here-"
There was a surge behind him, accompanied by shouts.
Chu Zhao was stunned and looked back in disbelief. Ale had already jumped up and shouted, "It's the general, it's the general." He started crying as he shouted.
Chu Zhao also saw that Zhong Changrong and a group of soldiers were escorting a horse. The tall dark horse was the man wearing armor, which was his father.
Although he lost a lot of weight, he was wearing armor on his body and holding a long sword in his hand, and Chu Ku was still like a mountain.
My father woke up!
God opens his eyes, God has eyes!
Chu Zhao ran to her father, and she knew that God asked her to come back to make up for her.
Chu Ku looked at his daughter with a smile and nodded: "Chu Zhao, you are doing a good job."
Although he could not see anything, he could still feel his daughter's momentum.
Chu Zhao hurried forward and helped Chu Ri get on the handsome car with Zhong Changrong.
As Chu Ri got on the coach, the sound of the snare drum changed, and the dongdong was powerful - this was the wake-up drum that the main general took the stage.
Sure enough, all the sights gathered from afar.
Chu Ku sat down with his knife on his knees and looked at Chu Zhao: "Since the queen is in the army, she still has to obey my command."
Chu Zhao stood up straight and responded loudly.
"Please give the Empress the escort to me." Chu Ku said.
Chu Zhao turned around and got out of the high car. Ding Dachui had already led the horse. Chu Zhao turned over the horse and took the long sword and crossbow handed over by Ding Dachui. Ale followed closely behind.
Chu Zhao looked back and saw Chu Ku looking forward first, as if he could see everything. Then he listened to the deputy generals' reports, and after a moment, he ordered.
The war drum changed its tone again, and the flag flew like a butterfly dancing. With the call, the originally loose army gathered again, chaotic and orderly, like an eagle spreading its wings and rushing towards the dancing python-
Chu Zhao withdrew his gaze, picked up the long knife, and urged the horse to run forward.
Ale, Ding Daechui and other queen guards (bandits served as) guards followed closely and came to the front of the central army formation to escort the commander Chu Ku behind him.
......
......
The battle lasted for three days.
During this period, Chu Zhao also followed the orders several times and rushed to the front of the fight with his troops and fought against the Western Liang soldiers within his sight with his bow and arrow.
Compared to killing the enemy, her role is still to boost morale. She was soon transferred back, and then she held a knife and carried an arrow to the new army to assist in the battle.
When a new ray of sunlight shone on the earth, a trombone came from the Xiliang army formation, just like the sigh of the Xiliang king, and the Xiliang army retreated like a tide.
"The Xiliang Army retreated!"
Chu Zhao wiped away the stains on his face and watched Ale jump over like a rabbit. The horn of victory had sounded on the battlefield. The tired soldiers seemed to be extremely powerful in an instant, jumping up one after another, shouting wildly.
But Chu Zhao did not follow everyone to celebrate. She turned over and ran towards the central army formation, wanting to tell her father the good news, although her father already knew.
Back at the Central Army formation, Chu Zhao jumped down without waiting for the horse to stop. After running a few steps, he found that the atmosphere was not right.
The drummers were beating the battle drums of victory, and the flag bearers were waving the flags to withdraw the troops. However, the soldiers here looked solemn and did not have any hustle and bustle. Seeing her coming, some people lowered their eyes.
The central army formation was naturally more regular and stricter. Chu Zhao thought, this was nothing, it was normal. She didn't look around and rushed towards the coach's chariot. She saw her father sitting upright on the big chair at first sight.
"Dad." She shouted and walked forward.
Chu Ku smiled and looked ahead, lying on his knees with a long sword.
