Chapter 446 Drums, Gather Generals!
The night was like ink, the wind was strong and dark clouds rolled, and the fire cloud god horse ran wildly. Qin Mubai lay on the horse's back and hugged the horse's neck tightly with the last bit of strength. He opened his eyelashes with ice dregs and looked forward... In the vast dark night, there seemed to be a city with bright flags flying. , standing not far away.
"Final, have you arrived?"
Suddenly, he fainted in front of him, and he almost fell off his horse.
The mane between the mouth and nose of the fire cloud horse has formed a white foam condensed ice. It seems to see the end in front of it. With a long hysterical roar, it rose up and ran to the city of Danzhou with all its strength!
The guards at the head of the city noticed the movement under the city.
"Look! There is a horse coming!"
"It's so cold at night, won't the person on the horse freeze to death?"
"Look at the man as if he is lying on horseback. Isn't it impossible?"
At this moment, the Huoyun horse rushed to the closed gate and suddenly stopped. The front hoof roared, but the hind legs were suddenly unable to support, and even the man and the horse fell to the ground.
Qin Mubai has long been in a coma. Fortunately, he was not suppressed by the fire cloud, otherwise he would have become meat sauce!
The soldiers at the head of the city were shocked!
"Quick, save people!"
"Wait! What if there is fraud and a large number of enemy troops in the rear? - Brothers, be on high alert!"
"Yes, that's right! ...But, are we really dead?"
The cold wind roared, and Qin Mubai lay on the ground with the fire cloud, cold all over, and completely fell into a coma.
The soldiers on the tower stretched out their necks and looked at them. They wanted to save people, but they did not dare to open the gate.
A moment later, the sergeants were surprised to see that the horse that had just fallen to the ground got up with a hisss. Looking at the situation, the left hind leg could no longer reach the ground, so he could only hold it with three legs and jump towards the city gate.
"What, what is this horse going to do?"
"Bang-Bang-Bang!"
Fire cloud horse, hit the door with your head!
"This horse is so spiritual!" All the sergeants sigh!
"Ky-Ky!" The continuous hiss, as if asking for help, the voice of mourning pierced the heart.
"It's so pathetic! How can we not be saved?"
"Return to General Hou first! Let him decide!"
"Good!"
The soldiers agreed and hurried to call Hou Junji.
The continuous sound of hitting the door broke through the night sky. The miserable hiss of the fire cloud horse is even more moved by those who hear it.
Hou Junji came and lay on the female wall and looked down. He, who had always been extremely calm, suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Come on, open the gate! Save people!!!"
"Yes--"
The military academy ran downstairs in a hurry!
Hou Junji's heart, which has been invulnerable for a long time, jumped wildly at this moment!
"Fire Cloud Horse! That's a fire cloud horse!!!"
......
It was late at night. Li Daozong sat in the handsome tent and criticized the military affairs. He couldn't help but feel tired. So he leaned his forehead against the table and took a nap.
Countless sleepless nights in a row make him a little unable to stand it. The whole person was black and thin, and the once majestic and handsome middle-aged beautiful man also lost a lot of demeanor.
I took a little nap, but I also fell into a dream. In the haze, he saw a man coming in front of him. His face seemed to be familiar, but he was a little vague and unrecognizable.
"Who are you?" Li Daozong asked.
"Your Majesty, don't you know me?" The man on the opposite side has a majestic and beautiful body, and his hands and feet are elegant.
"Uncle baby!!" Li Daozong was shocked, "You, haven't you already? ......”
"Your Majesty, you are all the good!" Qin Shubao smiled and said, "I don't think we're going to get old. Qin often recalls the pleasure of galloping with the prince to seize the flag under the Tongguan Pass!"
Li Daozong, who was half asleep and half awake, seemed to realize something. He was excited and asked, "Shubao, do you have something to entrust me?"
"Great rivers and mountains, don't give up... My lord, take care!" With that, Qin Shubao's figure gradually blurred.
"Uncle baby!!!" Li Daozong woke up with a shout. He made a mistake and knocked over the inkstone beside him. The ink was cheap, and the inkstone also fell to the ground and fell in half.
The guard outside the tent hurried in. Li Daozong was in a cold sweat and waved his hand desolately, "Go out, it's okay."
"I think about it, I've been too tired and nervous recently..." Li Daozong frowned and shook his head in pain. "Lanzhou is the foundation laid by Qin and his son. Now, is it going to be delivered to my Li Daozong? ... Don't say that Wu Yan went back to see the royal brother. In the future, when I go underground, why did I go to see Shubao and Mu Bai?"
Li Daozong, who was a hero for half his life, felt helpless for the first time, and even some despair.
"If I had known today, it would have been better to stick to Dafeichuan, at least there is room for retreat... But how to explain that inexplicable military order?" Thinking of this, Li Daozong suddenly woke up, "Yes! Although I have long advocated withdrawing from Dafeichuan to preserve its strength and retreat from Danzhou to wait for the winter to come and the reinforcements of the imperial court, how could Qin Mubai, who had passed away for a long time, leave such an inexplicable military order?!"
"I'm confused? I should have figured it out a long time ago! This boy, Qin Mubai, is absolutely not dead!!" Thinking of this, Li Daozong was inexplicably excited and a little annoyed. He patted the table several times, "Come on! Come on!! Go and call Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun!"
"Your Highness, stop shouting, we're coming." Just at this moment, a group of people suddenly rushed into the handsome tent.
Hou Junji, Xue Wanjun, and more than a dozen generals came in together and carried a pair of stretchers.
"What are you... doing?" Li Daozong asked puzzledly and looked down. The man on the stretcher was tightly wrapped all over, and his face was frozen with blue and purple beard, and it was almost difficult to distinguish his face.
"Who is this? Why did you carry him in?" Li Daozong asked curiously.
Hou Junji took a deep breath and re-uttered three words, "Qin Mubai."
"What?" Li Daozongton was shocked, angry, happy and angry. He clapped his legs and jumped up, "I'm going to kill him!"
"Your Majesty, please do it." Hou Junji deliberately dodged aside without stopping him and said lightly, "I'm on behalf of Garqinling and 300,000 Tubo enemy troops. Thank you."
Although Li Daozong would not take it seriously, he was shocked when he heard this, "What does this mean?"
"Since he is back, it means that the big plan has been made." Hou Junji's eyebrows sank and said with a serious face, "Break the enemy, only today!"
"Okay, very good!" Li Daozong's voice trembled a little and roared, "Now, I don't care what you do to wake him up!"
"Don't bother, my lord, I'm awake." Qin Mubai, lying on the stretcher, spit out a few words with a weak breath.
Everyone was immediately surprised and squatted down around the stretcher and shouted, "Young commander!!"
"Hey, hey... Apologize, I cheated the corpse, did I scare you?" Qin Mubai almost didn't have the strength to open his eyes and wanted to laugh, but he didn't listen to the command, so his expression was extremely ugly.
"If you have something to say, just say it!" Li Daozong was both surprised and worried, but also a little distressed and annoyed. All his emotions suddenly surged into his heart, which made him a little panicked.
Qin Mubai stretched out his right arm from the quilt, raised it with difficulty, raised a trembling index finger, exerted all his strength, and said four words--
"Ring, drum! Gather, general!"
......
"Bang-Bang-Bang-"
A few drums sounded in the middle of the night, like thunder on the flat ground, and the city shook!
Yuwen Hongtai, who was kneeling and burning paper in the mourning hall, bounced up like an electric shock and shouted, "Futam, have you killed it? - Third brother, I'm going to cut off the dog's head! ...Well, where's the tiger's head and the golden gun?"
"What the he is like! The tiger's head was golden gun, and he was carried by his mother... Oh, no, Princess Wencheng was carried into the bridal chamber!" Yuwen Hongtai was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks and rushed to the door of the bridal chamber, but he did not dare to knock on the door.
"Squeaky", the door was pulled open, and Chen Yan came out of it.
"Heizi, you don't sleep for most of the night and come here to fool around. What's the style?" Chen Yan said.
"Well, sister-in-law, didn't you hear the drums?" Yuwen Hongtai said timidly like a child.
"I heard it." Chen Yan said indifferently, "But the generals in the army gathered together. Could it be that the Tubo people killed them?"
"It must be!" Yuwen Hongtai's eyes suddenly stared like copper bells, and a killing face appeared oily. He roared in a low voice, "I'm going to use the third brother's tiger head golden gun to cut off a few more Tubo dog heads!"
"Then wait." Chen Yan's tone has never changed. She said a word indifferently, turned around and walked into the room, and came out for a moment.
"Take it, the princess agreed." Chen Yan handed Yuwen Hong Taihu's head gold gun, but there was still a layer of red scarf on it.
"Hmm." Yuwen Hongtai took the gun and nodded, turned around and left. After a few steps, he stopped again and turned around in surprise, "Sister-in-law, why are you following me? ...Well, why are you still carrying a sword?"
"When it comes to killing people, you are far from my opponent." Chen Yan threw down a sentence lightly and walked straight forward.
"Ah!" This scared Yuwen Hongtai and hurriedly chased him and shouted, "Sister-in-law, this is untenable! If you go to war, how can it be your turn? The battlefield is not somewhere else. No matter how strong your martial arts are, it's useless! If you have a long and short..."
"Shut up! I've never seen such a talkative man like you! If you dare to talk nonsense again, cut your tongue!"
"Uh!" Yuwen Hongtai was suddenly frightened. He subconsciously covered his mouth and stared with wide eyes and wondered, "I... talk about it?"
With another drum, the whole city has suddenly woken up from sleep. The brightly lit people in the barracks shouted his, and the people also slapped the lights and opened the door to wait and see, but the Tubo attack came?
The wind is raging, and the temperature drops again. It has been splashed with water and ice.
In front of the generals of the Chinese army, the big drums with more than one person on eighteen sides rumbled, and the eighteen golden horns roared to the sky. The guards of the Chinese army stood on the stage with guns in the twelfth middle, and the twenty-four divisions held the halberd in front of the stage. Sixteen knives in red clothes and thirty-two flags of various colors were arranged.
The torch is like a forest, shining one side like the day. Nearly a thousand generals of the whole army are listed in the front, and more than 100,000 troops are waiting in their respective camps.
After the generals and soldiers were assembled, Li Daozong, Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun became the generals before they boarded the platform.
After the drum corner, the whole audience was in awe and silent.
Li Daozong glanced at the generals and soldiers and shouted in a low voice, "Generals and soldiers, defeat the enemy, only today!"
The sergeants only said that it was the Tubo people who came to meet the enemy, so they roared together, "Swear to fight to the death with Tubo!"
At this time, Yuwen Hongtai and Chen Yan just came from the Assassin's Mansion and stood in front of the general stage. Li Daozong glanced at Chen Yan, who was holding the sword, and immediately frowned, but he didn't say much in front of everyone.
"Today, our army sent troops to launch a counterattack against Tubo!" Li Daozong raised his arm and shouted, "Sergeants, hear me clearly!" It's not a defense battle, but a counterattack!"
"Oh?" The soldiers really made an incredible sound of surprise.
"Don't be surprised. When you see this person appear in front of you, you will understand everything. Li Daozong said, "Of course, when you see this person, you will be more surprised!"
"Who is it?"
"Is it the reinforcements from the court?"
"I have heard that if our army defeats the emperor's own expedition, is it the emperor's coming?"
......
Everyone was talking about it. On the side of the commander-in-chief's tent, several sergeants slowly came out with the huge handsome chair.
On the handsome chair, there was a man sitting, his whole body was wrapped in thick quilts, and his face could not be seen clearly under the shaking of the torch.
"Oh, who is it?" Everyone stretched out their necks to see it, and they couldn't stop guessing.
The sergeants carried the handsome chairs and put them on the stage.
Li Daozong, Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun, the important generals, coincidentally took a step back and stood behind the handsome chair, becoming the stars and the moon stood in an arch.
Chen Yan, who had been standing with her sword in her arms, stared at the "mysterious man" and suddenly her heart trembled, "Yes, is it him?"
"Who is it, sister-in-law? Do you know each other?" Yuwen Hongtai asked puzzledly.
As soon as the words fell, Yuwen Hongtai only felt a cool breeze rising, and Chen Yan suddenly disappeared. In the blink of an eye, she actually appeared on the stage and stood in front of the mysterious man.
"Yan! ..." Qin Mubai's frozen and swollen eyelids could only narrow a slit, faintly saw the person in front of him, and shouted with difficulty.
"It's really you." When Chen Yan said these four words, her mind suddenly went blank. She looked at Qin Mubai, who was almost inhuman, and was stunned.
"It's me." Qin Mubai struggled to squeeze out an ugly smile. One hand stretched out from the quilt, but he held a ball of things in his hand and slowly put it on top of his head.
Peacock's double feather hair crown!
"Ah!! Isn't that the feather crown used by the young commander?
"Isn't that woman... the young marshal's wife?"
"Isn't it! ......”
The soldiers were stunned.
At this time, in full view of the public, Chen Yan squatted down, put down her sword, stretched out her hand to Qin Mubai's head, and tied her double crowns for him.
A long pair of peacock feathers, angry in the wind!
Chen Yan quietly stared at Qin Mubai. She neither cried nor smiled, just like when they were eating at the same table in a small building outside Xiangyang City. Their eyes were clear and their smile was like spring.
"As I said, as long as you don't leave, I will definitely not leave you, Yan."
In a word, Chen Yan's tears finally flowed down. She rushed up unscrupulously and as if there was no one around, and hugged Qin Mubai tightly.
There were no words, no crying, just holding it tightly like this. Even if another 100,000 people stared at it on the spot, she didn't care at all!
"Young commander! What a young commander! I see it clearly!"
"Ah! How is this possible?"
"Realally! It's true!"
"We can't see it clearly. Can the young marshal still admit her mistake?"
......
Shandanzhou City, it boiled overnight!
