It rained all night the day before yesterday, and the wind and clouds accompanied the moon last night. Today we finally have good scenery, the wind is beautiful and the sun is really clear. Although the spring of March has not yet arrived, the proud sun has broken through the clouds and hung high in the blue sky.
No matter how long the night is, the light that symbolizes hope will always come.
The five thousand rebels commanded by Han Qiumiao, like the warm sun coming from winter to spring, gathered majesticly outside the "Shuimenguan" gate to declare war on the enemy openly and openly, as if deliberately telling the enemy's scouts that we were about to send troops to attack the capital.
, wash your necks and wait for slaughter.
If you lose, you won't lose. Five thousand rebels are aiming at the capital. Even if they don't take the oath outside the checkpoint, the enemy's reconnaissance team will find them. In this way, it is better to let the enemy see the momentum of our army and suppress the opponent's arrogance...
You must know that Han Qiumiao had just recently wiped out 6,000 elite soldiers of the northern rebels and killed Qi Yuan, deputy commander of the Zhenbei Cavalry Regiment. His momentum was at its peak and could definitely deter the enemy.
What's more, the 5,000 men and horses gathered outside the checkpoint to take the oath, all exchanged their weapons for cannons, put on sophisticated armor captured from the enemy, and stood at the gate of the building with high morale. The appearance alone could scare the heebie-jeebies and undermine the enemy's morale.
Han Qiumiao also put on a suit of exquisite light armor and stood majestically opposite the soldiers. She spoke inspiring words in a majestic manner and made a promise to the soldiers. As long as the rebellion was assessed, she would definitely report it to the Empress Dowager. Everyone has it.
Great reward.
Zhou Xingyun can be regarded as the first-class Prince Consort and the husband of the eldest princess. Although the two of them have not married, the empress dowager's decree has more legal effect than the marriage certificate in contemporary society, so he, Han Qiumi and Xu Luose have a legitimate relationship as husband and wife.
.so……
Han Qiumiao encouraged her morale vigorously, while Zhou Xingyun stood silently behind her, looking at the majesty of the princess and overlooking the five thousand soldiers.
The main general who commanded five thousand soldiers and horses to attack the capital this time was Xia Houyan, the general of the Xu family, who was Xu Luose's father.
Although Xia Houyan was Taifu Xu's retainer, in order to get along well with Miss Xu, he once went on an expedition with the army to kill the enemy, and made various great contributions. Because of this, the Xu family would be generous and allow him to marry into the Xu family.
Married to Xu Luose's mother.
Now Han Qiumiao has no generals available, so he has to let Xia Houyan personally serve as the coach. First, because he has actual results, and second, Zhou Xingyun and others are special forces and have other tasks to perform.
Zhou Xingyun silently listened to Han Qiumiao's old talk, about the common man's duty to protect the homeland and the country, about punishing barbarians and rebelling, respecting Taizong, so the king's kingdom can prosper, about what a strong man can do without dying, and when he dies, he will be famous, and the princes will be at peace with each other.
If anything... I couldn't help but yawn sleepily.
To be honest, what Han Qiumiao said was very profound. After listening to it, the literary and artistic people would definitely applaud impassionedly... So the question is, are the literary and artistic people on the battlefield now?
Zhou Xingyun admitted that he had limited talent and knowledge. He could only understand three out of ten sentences spoken by Han Qiumiao, just the three sentences above. But the five thousand soldiers at the moment seemed to be more knowledgeable than him. Even the three sentences he could understand, they
I can't even understand...
Fortunately among the misfortunes, everyone understood Han Qiumiao's opening words about rewards based on merit. For the sake of the numerous rewards and the face of the royal princess, the soldiers straightened their backs and
He listened to Han Qiumiao's speech with a serious look on his face.
Han Qiumiao originally wanted to boost morale, but as she talked, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She said so many encouraging words, why didn't the soldiers cheer up? Why didn't they shout?
However, when Han Qiumiao was at a loss and didn't know how to step down, Zhou Xingyun quietly said to her: "Ahem, Qiu Miao, let me say a few words."
Zhou Xingyun said that he was better at deceiving people.
Although Han Qiumiao is very smart, she is a princess after all. She has lived in the palace since she was a child and is not very good at getting along with others. Emotional communication between people is obviously not her strong point.
"You are my husband. I had already arranged for you to say a few words." Han Qiumiao replied in a nonchalant manner, and then took the initiative to give in and motioned for Zhou Xingyun to come to the front.
"Count me in! I'm going to say something too!" Little sister Wushuang wanted to show off in front of five thousand people and strode forward. Unfortunately, Zhou Xingyun turned around and said to Han Shuangshuang, "Don't let her make trouble." The little girl immediately
He was captured without any help, and was captured by the powerful little idiot...
Xu Zhiqian and other friends watched Zhou Xingyun replace Han Qiumiao carelessly. He seemed to have something to say to everyone. Several question marks appeared on his forehead, and an idea came to his mind... Want to cause trouble?
Sure enough, as soon as the young girl had the above idea, Zhou Xingyun started to make trouble.
"Before setting off, I want to ask you a question. Who are we?" Zhou Xingyun stepped forward and asked a question out of nowhere.
The five thousand soldiers looked at each other for a moment, and felt confused as Zhou Xingyun asked an incomprehensible question. Who are we? How should we answer this?
"Don't you know how to answer? That's right. After all, in the eyes of the rebels, you look at them horizontally and vertically, and you are all a patchwork of miscellaneous troops." Zhou Xingyun looked down at the five thousand soldiers in front of him, and his vivid words
The cute sarcastic expression seems to say on his face, 'You are just a bunch of bastards, fighting against the five scum!'.
Yu Wushuang, who was originally trying to break free from Han Shuang's clutches, stopped struggling immediately after hearing Zhou Xingyun's speech. Instead, he turned to Han Qiumiao and shook his head and sighed: "You shouldn't let him go up and speak." The subtext... I should be allowed to go.
"What do you mean? Do you look down on us!"
Sure enough, some people couldn't stand Zhou Xingyun's contemptuous gaze. Even if everyone knew it, Zhou Xingyun might be taunting them in reverse to motivate them...
"I'm not looking down on you, I'm just telling the truth. You are just a ragtag group of military police, hunters, militiamen, and people from all walks of life. You are not even considered a recruit. You are the weakest motley crew."
"Please forgive me for being frank. We are about to fight the rebels, but you insist on encouraging others' ambitions and destroying your own prestige. What are your intentions?"
Zhou Xingyun's speech without any taboos will naturally arouse everyone's dissatisfaction. The soldiers who were originally full of confidence felt like they were drenched in heavy rain, and their morale dropped by half.
"Knowing yourself and your enemy means you can win a hundred battles. Since we are the weakest motley crew, of course we must face reality and understand the situation at hand. Or do you think that a mere 5,000 people can defeat 50,000 rebels with high morale alone?"
Zhou Xingyun first sounded the alarm to the soldiers. They must not become arrogant and complacent because they wiped out the 6,000 elite rebels led by Qi Yuan. They thought they were invincible and did not take the enemy seriously.
Han Qiumiao listened to Zhou Xingyun's speech and looked at the 5,000 troops who had suppressed the rebellion. They were silent and mute. They all lowered their heads worriedly. He couldn't help but frown, wondering what Zhou Xingyun's intentions were and why he was demoralizing himself.
"What's wrong? Are you scared? All of you, raise your heads!" Zhou Xingyun suddenly raised his voice and shouted to the soldiers in front of him: "Since we are the weakest army, let me ask you again, who is the strongest army in the world?
?”
"Is it the battle-hardened Zhenbei Cavalry Regiment? Is it the Zhennan Cavalry Regiment that has experienced hundreds of battles? Or is it the elite Royal Guards? What is the invincible King's Division? Why can the King's Division be able to fight?
Invincible? Anyone who knows the answer will stand up and tell me!" Zhou Xingyun's thunderous voice instantly spread throughout the audience...
The soldiers raised their heads in confusion and stared at Zhou Xingyun, who was questioning them face to face with a serious expression. However, no one stood up to answer his question.
Obviously, the soldiers all knew that Zhou Xingyun's next words were the key point...
"What kind of army is the strongest in the world?" Zhou Xingyun paused for a moment, then asked unhurriedly: "In the eyes of the rebels, we are just a bunch of miscellaneous troops made up of people from all walks of life. Then I
Let me ask you again...who are we in the eyes of the people in the capital!"
Zhou Xingyun looked around the crowd with righteousness, and shouted with great ambition: "In order to win the throne, the sixteenth son of the emperor did not hesitate to kill people and massacre the people of the capital! The northern rebels joined forces with evil, burning, killing, robbing, raping, and plundering, and destroyed hundreds of villages outside the capital.
Life is in ruins."
"Although we are a ragtag group of people, for the people of the capital, we are their last hope!"
"What is the invincible King's Army? Why is the King's Army invincible? The answer in my heart is, a reason not to be defeated! A belief in defending our homeland! A determination to protect our loved ones!"
"Our family has been ravaged by the northern rebels in recent days. They are always looking forward to us attacking the rebels and restoring the peaceful life of the past. Once we are defeated, they will live under the rule of a tyrant forever."
"Everyone, please remember that although we are a mixed army, we are also the last backer of the common people!"
"Feel the hope that the people and relatives of the world place on our shoulders! I ask you again! Who are we!"
"The King's Master..." The five thousand soldiers responded sporadically,
"Can't hear you!" Zhou Xingyun shouted loudly.
"We are the masters of kings!"
"Say it again!" Zhou Xingyun shouted at the top of his voice.
"We are the invincible army of kings!" Until this moment, the soldiers finally understood Zhou Xingyun's intention.
"That's right!" Zhou Xingyun affirmed confidently: "We are the army of kings who obey the destiny and fight against the rebels! We are a miscellaneous army, but the day before yesterday we wiped out 6,000 elite rebels! That is the best evidence.
!The army of justice! The master of the king! Invincible!"
"Our mission today is to live up to the expectations of our family! Become their heroes! Capture the city wall! Save the innocent people who are in dire straits from the hands of the cruel and ruthless Emperor's Sixteenth Son! Give us back the bright future of the Tang Dynasty!"
Zhou Xingyun suddenly grabbed the royal military flag beside him and planted it firmly on the ground in front of him: "This land is our home! We will not allow rebellious ministers and traitors to act recklessly! Where is the royal flag! Who can compete with us! The army of justice! Invincible!"
For a time, five thousand soldiers were infected by it, and they raised their arms and shouted with great excitement...
"The Army of Justice! Invincible! The King's Master! Invincible!"
"The Army of Justice! Invincible! The King's Master! Invincible!"
