Chapter 20: The silent place is full of sadness
Chongqing, Fuling!
As one of the acropolis of Chongqing, although Fuling is not large in area, due to the undulating terrain of the mountain city, the entire Fuling City is like a city standing on a high mountain. The terrain outside the city is steep and steep. The huge walls make the defense height of Fuling City reach 18 meters.
Fuling City is located on the east side of Chongqing Prefecture, and is adjacent to Changshou and Dianjiang, two cities occupied by the Jin Kingdom. It is precisely because it is located on the border between the two countries that Fuling City is invaded by war all year round, and there is rarely a time of tranquility.
Just like... today.
The dense Jin army formed one square after another, blocking the north and west gates of Fuling City, leaving only the east gate next to the Wujiang River and the south gate relying on the mountain peaks. In other words, the entire Fuling City has now been completely surrounded by the Jin army.
On the top of Fuling City, Chu Kuangge stood with his hands behind his back, staring quietly at the endless Jin army outside the city.
Behind him was a young man with a modest expression. This was his fifth son, named Chu Zheng, and his courtesy name was Yangzhi. This little prince was the most strategic among the sons under Chu Kuangge, and the only little prince who practiced spiritual skills.
The two of them observed the situation outside the city for a while, and Chu Zheng suddenly pondered: "Father, the Jin soldiers seem to be a little abnormal this time."
"Well? What do Zheng'er's opinion?" Chu Kuangge raised his thick eyebrows and asked with interest.
"Although the status of the Jin Dynasty was the general Wanyan Yong personally led the army, he was not the Yanlong army under his command, but the generals and troops of the Jin Dynasty in Sichuan," said Chu Zheng, who pondered slightly and then said, "In addition, although the Jin soldiers attacked the city frequently in the past few days, they have never really hit the city wall. Therefore, Chu Zheng's opinion is that the actual combat of the Jin army is fake, and the training is real."
Seeing that Chu Zheng could see through this, Chu Kuangge smiled comfortably and nodded: "Okay! It's not in vain that my father has cultivated you over the years."
After receiving praise from Chu Kuangge, a smile appeared on Chu Zheng's face. Then he seemed to think of something and frowned: "Today is the first time my sixth brother has been on the battlefield. Although the father and coach arranged for him to act with several brothers, but..."
"No need to worry!" Chu Kuangge looked at the group of red-armored cavalry under the city and smiled proudly, "It's a pity that the time is still too short. I only took him to special training for one month. If I were given half a year, it would be enough for my Yanggu Army to add another fifth-level general!"
Even though Chu Zheng was humble and calm, he couldn't help but be surprised at this moment and said in surprise: "The father and commander are so optimistic about the sixth brother?"
"You don't know how he will behave in this month," Chu Kuangge retracted his gaze outside the city, and sighed a little more on his face, "I have never seen such a talented person, and he is more and more fighting against Yu Qiang. Even the Wanyan Emperor Yi, who is on the Feng Jinxiu list, is probably less than one-tenth of your sixth brother's talent."
Chu Zheng was even more shocked and frowned and said, "It's not Chu Zheng's questioning his father and commander, but Emperor Wanyan is said to be in the Great Perfection of the Four Realms, and it's not far from breaking through to the Five Realms."
"Haha!" Chu Kuangge immediately laughed wildly. Even though he was the eighth realm, he did not do it deliberately, the passionate laughter still resounded inside and outside Fuling City, which shocked countless people to turn their heads and look.
Seeing Chu Kuangge laughing wildly, Chu Zheng was surprised and asked quickly: "I remember when my sixth brother first level was only at the third level when he first came to his home, I don't know that his current cultivation level is..."
With one finger outside the city, Chu Kuangge laughed loudly and said, "Look at the outside of the city!"
Chu Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized and smiled clearly, looking out of the city with expectation. He had a premonition that today's battle in Fuling City would probably become a battle of the rise of a strong man!
Just as Chu Zheng was talking with Chu Kuangge, they were standing on the not-so-wide plain outside the city, a square formation composed of five Jin cavalry. The military flag in the center of the formation fluttered in the wind, surrounding the solemn murderous aura, making these five square formations look like a mountain watered by five iron, cold and sharp.
On the slope about half a mile in front of these five military formations, a cavalry wearing red armor approached the city gate and stood silently.
The surface of the armor forged with fire iron was covered with flame patterns. The fiery red war horses under them and the violent and surging murderous aura made the entire square formation look like a sea of burning fire. If it doesn't move, it will be like a volcano explosion, burning thousands of miles away!
Compared with the Jin cavalry close to 6,000 people ahead, this cavalry was obviously at an absolute disadvantage in terms of number. However, facing such a weak situation, none of these cavalry showed a worried look, each with indifferent face, without any concern for their own disadvantages.
At the forefront of this Red Armored Cavalry, there were five figures standing on horseback. Except for a gentle man who was middle-aged, the other four figures were all young people under twenty years old.
These four young men are all the sons of Chu Kuangge. They received various martial arts and military training when they were young. After they were fourteen years old, they joined the Yanggu Army in the south and north battles. Although they are all under twenty years old, they have extremely strong cultivation.
Seeing that the confrontation had not changed for a long time, Chu Yuan, the second son of the Chu family, bored, threw the hammer in his hand into the sky, and waited until it fell down and threw it again. After repeated this several times, Chu Xuan, the eldest son of the Chu family, finally couldn't bear it and frowned, "Second brother, stop making trouble!"
"That's it!" Chu Hao grinned and laughed, "I've been thrown to the Jin Kingdom."
"Hey, why are you embarrassed?" Chu Yuan, who had just thrown the war hammer, was stunned and then shouted dissatisfied. However, just when he was distracted, the war hammer just fell down and hit the head of the war horse under him.
With a bang, the well-skeletoned war horse had a head blooming on the spot, and blood splashed everywhere on Chu Yuan's face. Then the whole war horse fell down with a bang, and Chu Yuan fell to the ground.
Seeing this, everyone was speechless. The red-armored cavalry behind them could not maintain a serious expression. They pursed their mouths one by one, forcibly holding back their smiles.
But before they could hold back their smiles, Chu Yuan stood up cursingly, wiped the blood on his face casually, and then seemed to think of something, turned his head to the young man who had never spoken and asked, "Lao Liu, is this what you said before, it made me look bloody?"
"I'm almost bleeding from your face!" The elegant man in front of the four glared at him angrily, then waved his hand and asked a cavalry to jump off the war horse and give the mount to Chu Yuan.
When Chu Yuan sat back on the war horse, the elegant man said in a deep voice: "The Jin Kingdom launched a large-scale invasion this time, and the army is quite large. Everyone has to cheer up. Several little princes need to be careful."
"You have to!" Chu Yuan grinned, "Don't worry, I will never run out in an impulse this time."
Chu Xuan's mouth twitched slightly: "You still have the face to say! Last time you were hit by the opposite spiritual magic and led the army into the forest, which made us ambush. We were almost wiped out by Wulong's stolen army. You were even beaten by your father and commander... So this time I'm not worried that you will go out again."
"Haha, brother, are you worried about me?" Chu Hao blinked his eyes and laughed, "I have always been very well-behaved, so I won't run out like my second brother, who has muscles in his brain."
Chu Xuan rolled his eyes, then turned his head to look at the young man beside the three of them who had never spoken: "Sixth brother, this is your first time on the battlefield. Remember to follow us closely, be careful in everything."
Chu Yuan smiled and raised the warhammer: "Yes, Lao Liu, remember to follow us!"
"Yes, Lao Liu, I must be a little nervous for the first time, and I will get used to it in the future." Chu Hao also said with a smile.
The young man, comforted by the three little princes of the Chu family, was about twenty years old. He even wore a set of pure black chain mail with his men and horses, and was carrying a black gun and axe one meter long. From a distance, he seemed to be hiding in a black shadow.
Hearing the comfort of the three, the young man was silent for a moment, and then whispered: "Yeah."
Chu Yuan happily shook the warhammer: "Look, I'll say Lao Liu is the most sensible."
"Second brother, are you embarrassed to say that Lao Liu is sensible?" Chu Hao couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard this and complained.
Seeing the quarrels of people, the elegant man couldn't help frowning and shouted: "Several little princes, the war is imminent at this moment, and you will talk nonsense and disrupt morale again. Song Hang is going to use military law!"
Seeing the general talking to the camp, Chu Yuan and Chu Hao did not dare to argue anymore. They quickly closed their mouths and looked like a good baby. However, how could this kind of obedient look deceive others, it made a group of cavalry chuckle.
Just as they were bickering, the young man with black armor, who had always been quiet, suddenly raised his head and looked quietly at the Jin cavalry in the distance. A bright red cold light suddenly passed through his dark pupils.
(After so long, I haven't found any news about everyone. It seems that I am the only one who travels through time, and no one has... um.)
Closed his eyes in pain, and the young man's left hand hidden in his sleeve clenched his fist tightly, and his body trembled slightly. He seemed to recall the sudden fall of light ball that day.
(Everything is gone! Everyone is gone, and I can’t find the way home. Dad, mom... Is it just enough to stay here? This strange world!)
Slowly breathing the cold air containing the solemn and slaughtering, the young man was in the crowd, but his heart was as cold as a piece of ice, which would not melt or dissolve, but only the endless sorrow and sadness.
