Chapter 3 I...why didn't I die?
Funan, in the southern part of the Yao Kingdom, the place where the two armies faced each other is called Wuchangyuan. The "chang" here should be a unit of measurement, but it is impossible to test the specific reason for the name.For thousands of years, Wuchangyuan has been a battlefield. It is said that when there is no one at night, if you listen quietly, you can hear the souls of ancient soldiers who died in battle crying. They were trapped here and could not find their way home.
On the border of Funan in late autumn, there is a tinge of dry heat in the wind and sand.
Of course, during the day, he would not care about the painstaking efforts of the veterans in the imperial city thousands of miles away, sitting in the army.
Did I agree?I did not agree that day.
What's more, when he said he wanted to fight in person, Chu Guan didn't stop him; King Yuanning just hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't stop him.
The prince's hands and eyes are open to the sky, he is afraid that he already knows the content of the edict, and the emperor died in the chaos, so he is in his arms.
Since ancient times, there have been only a handful of emperors who have been the emperors and empresses, and those who really went to the front line can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
Thinking of this, even though Bai Tian had the intention of sending himself to death, he couldn't hide a trace of complacency.
Because of his family background, he can ride a horse during the daytime, and his riding skills are not bad. In reality, he can't even do the last madness before death. Here, he can at least be vigorous.
Just like now, the young monarch is riding majesticly on the horse, with the big flag waving in the wind behind him, and a huge "white" character flutters on the army formation with strong killing intent.
The army of 15 was so dark that it could not be seen to the end, because they put on their own clothes during the day, and their morale was particularly high. The cavalry and infantry stood upright.
In the silence, occasionally a horse snorted.
Looking at the enemy camp, Funan's battle armor is made of soft rattan, painted with colorful patterns, and the soldiers' skin is exposed, but covered by tattoos.
Most of their cavalry are riding tigers.Compared with Yao's army formation, it looks barbaric, but it is full of treachery.
During the day, his face was calm, but his blood was about to boil after a long absence.
"Your Majesty, do you feel unwell?" King Yuanning was very close to Bai Tian, and the two riders were almost parallel. Xu Shi felt that Bai Tian was short of breath, so he leaned over and asked.
Shaking his head during the day, he looked at a corner of the enemy's formation, noticed something strange, and asked, "Have you prepared everything that Zhenrang has prepared?"
General Chu Guan responded: "Go back to Your Majesty, ready. It's just... the power..."
Bai Zhou nodded and said with a smile: "It's enough to make a sound. Send the order down, Leihuoying will go to the right wing, cooperate with the crossbowmen, and act according to the plan," he said, pointing in the opposite direction, "and then use the Yanyue Formation to attack the two sides to encircle." Pausing for a moment, Bai Zhou added, "Please trouble General Chu to guard the middle road strictly."
Chu Guan's eyes lit up, and he said in a stern voice, "Deling!"
The gongs and drums were blaring, and in the Funan camp, there was a strange horn sound in the corner where the daytime noticed something strange, followed by the low roar of a ferocious beast.
Almost at the same time, the military flag of the Yao camp sent an order, "Crack——" a mechanical sound, and a round thing that looked like a wine jar was thrown towards the corner of the enemy army with flames.Immediately afterwards, there was a loud noise of "bang--".
Bai Zhou shrunk his neck and nodded: it was indeed loud enough.
This is a "Sky Thunder Bomb" that he ordered the craftsmen in the army to rush to make on the road. It is not very powerful, but it is very loud.
One after another, the sky thunder bombs were thrown into a specific position in the enemy camp by the trebuchet, and the crossbowmen immediately shot crossbow arrows. They were in groups of two, holding heavy crossbows. The arrows are connected by oil, cotton and silk, and the lines of fire rush into the enemy army one by one. With this shooting method, even if the range of Yao's heavy crossbow is sufficient, the lethality will be weakened by the cotton and silk falling between the two arrows.
Things that thunder and rain with little rain are useless to people, but to beasts...
Sure enough, the opponent's camp suddenly became chaotic, and the strange sound of the horn and exclamation, mixed with the roar of the beast, raised a cloud of smoke and dust on the ground.
Bai Tian smiled slightly, and all living beings are equal, but human beings always want the beasts to be loyal and submit.
Stupid.
It was mentioned briefly in the novel that there was a general in Funan who could speak the language of a tiger, and he was invincible in battle.When he saw this at the time, Bai Tian thought that his invincibility was most likely due to surprise, and the enemy camp was afraid of ferocious beasts. Just imagine a group of fierce tigers charging head-on amid flying sand and rocks, it is really shocking.
Similar stories are also recorded in historical materials. There was a warrior under Wang Mang's command named Ju Wuba, who was good at riding fierce tigers. He went to the city of Kunyang and scared the rebels in the city to death.However, God made a big joke with him. During the battle, there was a sudden thunder and lightning, and the tigers were frightened and turned around and ran wildly. Instead, they helped the rebel army in the city defeat Wang Mang's army. Even Ju Wuba himself was killed by the rebellion.
During the day, I thought, if there is no God to help me make thunder and rain, then I will create a thunder and fire offensive by myself.
Looking at the off-field, Funan's morale has already collapsed, and the Tigers have even messed up their own positions.Under the strong attack of the soldiers of Yao State surrounded by two phases of the Yanyue formation, the enemy commander had to take the middle road to rush in, and was ambushed by the general Chu Guan who had already been guarding the middle road, and was captured alive on the spot.
During the day, he looked up at the sky, and the sun shone through the dark clouds with a few beams of light. Did he win like this?
No, just won the first battle.
Just as he was thinking, a burst of high-frequency sound sounded strangely, very short but rhythmic.Bai Tian's ear sounds very good, and he was waiting to look around when his best war horse neighed and raised its hooves suddenly, almost throwing Bai Tian off. The arrows rushed straight into the battle formation.
Has King Yuanning made a move?
This is the first reaction during the day.
After all, he is dead, let's pretend again, he simply took out his waist knife, and while charging forward, he shouted loudly: "Dayao's good boys, come with me!"
After a moment of silence, thunderous shouts broke out in the army, and the enthusiasm in every soldier's heart was ignited to boiling point by the young monarch.
On the land of Wuchangyuan, Funan has been defeated.No one thought that Bai Tian would really end up rushing to kill, without regular guards, he was alone, at the head of a horse, and rushed out tens of feet, only to be followed by all the soldiers in line.
King Yuan Ning rushed to Bai Tian's side, jumped onto Bai Tian's mount, grabbed the reins, and held him hard, whispering: "Your Majesty, we have already won."
Before the words were finished, King Yuanning suddenly embraced the emperor, rolled over and dismounted from his horse, and saw an arrow brushing against the edge of Baitian's armor.
The two landed steadily, and Wang Gao of Yuanning shouted: "Guard! Get up the armor formation!"
The soldiers and generals swarming around the king gathered more and more. When the prince gave a escort, he was escorted into the iron wall and copper wall during the day.
At this moment, it began to rain, and suddenly a strong wind blew up. The temperature on the hot and dry battlefield dropped sharply, and the cold raindrops washed over everyone, as if they wanted to wash away the murderous spirit and blood.
A large amount of rainwater was poured into the gaps of the heavy armor, and the wind of late autumn passed by bitterly.
It was cold, and it came suddenly.
This time, even God was helping him burn his life away.
During the day, he took off his handsome helmet and let the cold rain rage.The familiar dizziness of cold shock hit him, and his heart suddenly tightened, as if a hand was squeezing his heart fiercely.It was more like the limbs were suddenly buried in icy water.
King Yuanning who was beside him noticed the strangeness of the emperor, and stepped forward to help him, and saw the urgency in the expression of the prince during the day.
I don't understand during the day, don't you want the throne?My edict has been established, I die, and you will succeed me.
Wasn't it your man who startled my horse just now?
Or... did you suddenly regret it?
His consciousness became more and more blurred, and he reached out to grab the prince's arm, which was close at hand, but he was powerless and asked in a low voice, "Why... save me?"
I didn't wait for the prince's answer.
He was dizzy, and during the day he couldn't tell whether he was dreaming or a flashback before he died.
This time I really have to say goodbye...
The images in his mind are all about the past between him and Dr. Jane, and a few nights ago, when he couldn't help caressing the prince's face, the man's behavior - he frowned and looked at himself, as if subconsciously trying to avoid , but the body just swayed, but stopped again, letting his hands rest on his face.
You can pretend to be gentle and caring, and you can pretend to be full of affection, but you can't pretend to be caught off guard subconsciously...
After all, he is King Yuanning, not Dr. Jian, and he doesn't even look like him.
I don't know how long it took, the chest tightness in the daytime dissipated, and the clear air slowly entered his lungs. He took a deep breath greedily, and his lungs were suddenly stimulated, making him cough violently.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is awake! Hurry up and invite the prince to come."
……
This voice...it's you again...boog.
Isn't that right, when he opened his eyes, he saw Bugo's big face close in front of him, no matter how handsome his face was, he couldn't help seeing it from this angle, Bai Tian frowned and raised his hand, pushing him away.
Struggling to get up, he was on the couch in the Chinese military tent, the candles were dimly lit, only Bugo was with him in the tent.Seeing that he woke up, the little eunuch was overjoyed, took a few steps forward, and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
"Zhen..." Bai Tian's voice was slightly hoarse, "Why didn't you die?"
"Ouch!" Bugo knelt in front of his master after listening for a while, kowtowed, "Long live you, don't talk nonsense, not to mention, the prince said that you just passed out because of lack of effort, and there is nothing serious."
hehe.Ancient medical skills can only see this when looking at his faults.
In just a moment, King Yuanning came, along with Chu Guan.The two knelt at the door, and Chu Guan said that he and the prince had roughly discussed the follow-up strategy against the enemy, and they would wait for the emperor to rest before reporting.
After some business, Chu Guan withdrew.
Sitting on the couch during the day, he looked up at King Yuanning: "Sit down, I will look up at you, my neck is tired."
King Yuanning was silent, pulled a chair, and sat in front of His Majesty's bed.
For a long while, neither of them spoke.Bugo stood aside, feeling very redundant.Replied in a low voice: "Slave went to see the medicinal food." Quickly lifted the door curtain and fled.
"Ah Jing, does the wound on your neck hurt?"
What wound?Bai Zhou stretched out his hand to touch it, only to find that his neck was wrapped in a circle of white silk, he didn't feel it at all, and he didn't know when it was hurt.But after thinking about it, he knew that it could only be after he took off the handsome helmet, otherwise the face shields on both sides of the handsome helmet went up to the shoulders, and the wound would not appear on the side of the neck no matter what.
Sure enough, King Yuanning continued: "Ah Jing, you took off your helmet just now, and something scratched your neck. I checked, and it's not poisonous... I just feel strange and don't feel at ease."
Said, the prince took a bronze mirror.
Since he came in through the book, there were people waiting for him to change clothes and wash up during the daytime. It was only at this time that he was able to take a closer look at his appearance. The person in the bronze mirror was very young, and he looked about 23 or [-] years old. Looks good, just look at any one of the facial features, Bai Tian feels familiar, it's his, but put together, it doesn't look like him anymore.
The eyes are rolling, and there is a three-point evil in the charming look.
Sure enough, it is quite "faint".
Bai Zhou closed his eyes and said: "It's okay, if you don't mention it, I won't even notice."
"Your Majesty... how do you know that the enemy army will attack with fierce tigers?"
It can't be said that it seems in the novel.
"I... I heard that the Funan people are good at controlling animals with strange skills. It's nothing more than that. I suddenly thought of it and plan ahead."
Then, there was a moment of silence.Bai Tian felt that King Yuanning's attitude towards him was very wrinkled - he couldn't figure out whether he wanted to die in front of the battle, or cared for him.
Is it really like what was written in the novel, he couldn't tell whether he loved Bai Jing, the monarch of Yao Kingdom, or used him more?
But no matter what, his war horses have long been tamed by people with a heart, and if they can't hit one blow, they must have a second move.
"I want to change places to live, don't say anything to anyone." Bai Zhou said.
Selling a loophole to him, and seeing if he can make a move, Bai Tian made up his mind, after all this expedition, he didn't want to go back alive.
He just wanted to die to understand.
"Why do you want to change places?"
test you.
Of course I can't answer that.
After thinking about it for a while, a gentle smile hung on his face, and he said, "There are at least three or more ways to solve a problem."
The answer was irrelevant, and King Yuanning was taken aback: "Ah Jing, you've been saying this these two days, where did you get it from?"
This is an extended concept of modern psychological cognitive theory, and Bai Jing probably has no place to read it unless it is arranged by the author.
"Is there anything wrong?"
The emperor didn't answer, King Yuanning sighed softly, still smiled softly at Bai Tian, and replied: "No, it's just that a friend said the same thing."
