Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The setting sun has already set on the side of the hillside, and torches have been lit in Wujiao Village, illuminating the originally deserted village. The Du family army's troops are well-trained and have quickly completed their preparations. Each soldier is wearing shining armor.  Picked up the weapon in his hand.  Compared with the soldiers I saw in Luo City before, I don't know how much better they are.  Yu Ji has always stayed by Lan's side and is unwilling to leave. This time she decided to live and die with Lan and never allow Lan to leave her even half a step away.

    But Xia Nuoya is different. Her medical skills can naturally help many injured soldiers in battle and reduce the casualty rate. She has been forcibly ordered by Du Yun to go to a tent and prepare to rescue the wounded soldiers with the other three army doctors.  As a last resort.  He could only give Lan a jar before leaving and tie it to his belt. He said that the jar contained medicinal powder that could stop the bleeding and temporarily seal the wound. He told Lan not to drop it and to swallow it if necessary.  Go on, or apply directly to the wound.

    Lan casually counted the number of people. Most of Du Yang's troops were cavalry.  Because the cavalry of only 150 people occupied almost half of Wujiao Village.  However, due to being too anxious when setting off, most of the cavalry did not have perfect armor. Only a few lucky cavalry were equipped with a round shield and heavy armor.  Some of the war horses were also obviously a little thin, presumably due to insufficient supplies in Wujiao Village, resulting in the inability to obtain sufficient food.  In this battle, they will be led by General Du Yun to fight together. Many soldiers have begun to wave their spears and cavalry accessories in serious anticipation.

    Then came the heavy infantry of about fifty people, who wanted to compete with the cavalry. Each of them was equipped with the same set of armor that Lan had worn before. The heavy armor had many scratches and marks caused by sharp weapons.  But the weapons have long been polished by soldiers.  The resolute eyes revealed in the helmets, and most of their weapons were two-handed swords. There were many gaps on the broad blades, and every gap indicated the life-and-death battles those soldiers had experienced and represented honor.

    Finally, there is the longbow unit that Du Yun Zengjin mentioned. They have elite longbows and each person has a decent set of leather armor. Those leather armors are made of the leather of wild beasts in the mountains. The rough surface is almost unbearable.  It reflects any light, so you can get good concealment when fighting in the woods. The range and strength of the longbow are enough to penetrate ordinary heavy armor.  Many soldiers have clearly visible calluses on their hands, and the experienced longbow troops are also the guarantee of victory.

    "This time, we are facing more than 500 black-armored troops. I heard that they defeated Jia Jun's army with more than 100 people before. I know those people are losers, but the black-armored army is too  Be strong I don¡¯t know how long we people can resist." A cavalryman whispered to his comrades, but in this silent night, it quickly reached the ears of the surrounding soldiers.

    Du Yang and Du Yun naturally heard various gossips from the soldiers. The most troublesome thing for them still happened. A battle without the determination to win means half the battle was lost, and the previous various attacks against the Black Armored Army  The terrifying rumors had already weakened the morale of Du Yang's army. Now that he heard that heavy infantry twice as many as his own were coming up the mountain, the morale of the army was naturally a little unstable.

    "Bold, who is disturbing the morale of the army! Don't you know that those who disturb the morale of the army before the battle will be beheaded? Hurry up and calm down." Du Yun knew what she had to do.  She must now calm down her soldiers before facing the enemy before dawn tomorrow.  With the situation like this, it's probably just a charge from the opposite side, and these well-trained knights might be defeated by their own fear.

    But the noisy atmosphere did not subside, and the news about the Black Armored Army was spread from one person to another.  Accompanied by the evening breeze of the dark night.  Even before the war started, there was a hint of retreat.  The military appearance that had been finally prepared before was also somewhat disorganized.  Lan couldn't help but frowned, but he couldn't find any solution.

    Yu Ji beside her couldn't help but frown. She knew that if Du Yang hadn't been well-trained and everyone was loyal to him, many soldiers would have fled for their lives.  She had never read military books, so she could only watch Du Yun worry about it.  He couldn't help but tighten his grip on Lan's hand, which almost caused Lan to bleed.

    Du Yang finally walked out of the main tent. At this time, he was fully armed and showed no fear or fatigue at all.  The traces of time have not been covered up by the heroic spirit exuding from his body.  Du Yun walked to her father as if seeing a savior.  Talked about the situation.

    "Let me ask you, if you don't fight this battle? What are you going to do?" Du Yang was not angry, nor did he scold the soldiers. He just patted Du Yun on the shoulder and pointed at a panicked soldier and asked.

    The soldier first looked at his companions around him and swallowed.  Speak out what's on your mind.  "Run away, run back. This way we can survive." There was a hint of timidity in the words.  Apparently he was afraid that his general would kill him in anger.?Chopped.

    "You guy! You're so useless!" Du Yun on the side became angry and almost pulled out his sword and chopped off the coward's head.  But he was stopped by his father.

    There was no trace of anger on Du Yang's face, and he looked at the frightened soldiers calmly.  He said, "Yes, if you fight, you may die. If you run away, at least you can live a little longer, year after year. If you are lucky, you may be able to live until you die of old age." Du Yang paused and looked at it.  Soldiers around.  Everyone listened to what he said.

    "Are you willing to use so many days of survival for a chance, just a chance, to come back here and tell those black-armored troops. They may be able to take away our lives, but they can never take us away.  Freedom, our home!" At this point, Du Yang raised the sword in his hand. The sword had accompanied him through countless battlefields, and it was shining with dazzling light at this moment.

    There was silence at first, and then there were shouts of "Fight! Fight! Fight."  Every soldier shouted "fight" in his heart, and every soldier raised his sword.  The sluggish morale was immediately boosted.

    Even Lan was moved by Du Yang's speech. The old general's speech and the soldiers' shouting deeply made Lan's heart surge and her blood boil.

    It¡¯s time to let those black-armored troops taste some suffering.
