Chapter 1 The Wonderful Song in the Belly
PS: My new book is uploaded. I hope you don't miss it when you pass by. The red ticket hits me quickly~
------
The scorching sun is like fire.
Forty miles outside Phoenix.
Outside the black forest under the blood mountain, there are countless white wolf-headed totem flags flying, like clouds, echoing countless white tents under the ground, almost competing with the dark mountain forest.
And many of its large tents are even installed in the forest.
At this moment, the Yanmeng army is burying the stove to cook. The cooking smoke is fluttering in black and white, and the fragrance of the broth is far away with the wind.
The Yanmeng army chose to camp here, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Close to the woods, you can not only enjoy the shade to avoid the scorching sun, but also make fires on the spot.
Of course, more importantly, this is the best place to settle outside Phoenix, which can be attacked, retreated and defended, which can contain the troops of Phoenix.
Hundreds of meters from the outermost part of the large military camp, there is a clump of grass half a person high.
At this moment, a few heads slowly poked out in the grass.
"Zhao Gu, how much are you?" Sun Shangwu, the squire of Phoenix, asked in a low voice.
"About 450." Zhao Gu has counted the smoke column he is responsible for three times. The Yanmeng army camped around the Black Forest. Against the background of black ink in the Black Forest, the white smoke column is not difficult to count.
"What about Yanqing?" Sun Shangwu turned his head and asked in a low voice.
"520." Yan Qing's urn replied angrily.
"Su Yong...Huh, where's Su Yong?" Sun Shangwu asked.
Everyone looked around and found that Su Yong was lying on a small grass slope behind them, staring at the black forest, biting a green grass in his mouth.
"It's strange, why did you put the camp in the Black Forest? Obviously, there are still a lot of open spaces. Su Yong whispered to himself and raised the face full of vitality but frowning.
Several people quietly shrank back and sneaked for a long way before pulling out several war horses with their mouths out of a hidden hole. A bundle of straw was tied to the four horses' hoofs of the war horse, and only a dull sound came from falling to the ground, which was not far away.
"Yesterday, Brother Yun's team of brothers also came to count. According to the calculation in the past few days, it seems that there are indeed as many as 30,000 enemies. Sun Shangwu said that his sallow face was full of worries. At present, Phoenix has only 12,000 troops. The day before yesterday, the Dragon Wing City, which is less than 300 miles to the north, was in an emergency, and 4,000 people were paid.
When will the reinforcements of the imperial court arrive? Several scouts were worried, except for Su Yong.
Su Yong rode on the horse and tilted his head to look at the clouds in the sky. He didn't know what he was thinking and kept blinking.
Several scouts looked at each other. Later, Sun Shangwu was really dissatisfied with Su Yong's attitude and whispered, "Hey, what are you saying? How can you be absent-minded?"
Sun Shangwu is a good man in the army, and he doesn't swear much at ordinary times. It was he who accepted Su Yong, a temporary recruit, as his subordinate. This time, the attendance work is Su Yong's first "internship" task.
But unexpectedly, he was not nervous at all, and his actions were extremely serious and cautious, which relieved several old scouts who had been told in advance.
Su Yong smiled, shook his head and asked, "Mr. Sun, why do you think they put almost half of the tent in the forest? Aren't you afraid of snakes, insects and ants coming to bite?
Lao Sun shook his head and didn't answer. In his opinion, Su Yong is not a business.
"This... is convenient to shade! It's midsummer now. The sun can steam eggs in the afternoon. God is not kidding!" To be honest, Zhao Gu likes this young man very much. Although this guy doesn't seem to care, he is very serious at work. So he answered casually.
"That tent can be shaded! What's more, Yanmeng people have been used to the sun when they come from the grassland. How can they suddenly be so particular about it? Su Yong still asked with a smile.
"This..." Several old scouts couldn't think of a reason. In the end, only Yan Qing said rudely, "This is none of our business? If you have this idea, why don't you ask them to go!"
"Ha ha, jingle!" Su Yong stopped arguing. He slaps the flattery and rushed to the front.
Su Yong is not tall, short, fat or thin. When he looks up at you, you will find that he has a pair of star-starred eyes.
However, if someone asks him which part of his body he is most dissatisfied with, he will also answer that it is the eyes."Because I have a single eyelid." He will say with a smile.
He looks like he is in his early twenties, but he has been in the world for less than two years. If someone asks why... Forget it, of course no one asks... Even if someone asks, I'm afraid no one will believe it if he answers honestly.
Whenever he thinks of this, Su Yong will grab his head, and then sigh in an inaudible voice, "It's not that the time has not come yet. What should come will always come."
Fortunately, he was a complete time traveler, and it was not just a soul who rushed over. So after that, he soon became complacent, which showed that he still cared about his skin. Although it is a single eyelid, although it is not strong enough...
This is a strange world, different from any historical period he is familiar with, and it is still in the era of cold weapons.
The Yanlong Empire, where he is located, is in the east of the mainland. The people here are similar in appearance to him and have the same language. It seems that God is taking good care of him.
Half a month ago, there was an emergency conscription in the city. Poor Su Yong almost couldn't apply for the conscription... He was so hungry that he almost couldn't help it! But if it weren't for food, he wouldn't have bet his life on it!
He used to help a middle-sized family to make a living in Phoenix. However, he is promiscuous by nature. He is famous for the moonlight clan. He spends as much money. Every time he gets his salary, he immediately asks for leave to wander around, and he is also called "travel" to people! You won't run back until you have no money in your pocket.
Well, at this time, the situation suddenly became tense. I heard that the Yanmeng people declared war on the Yanlong Empire, and many people in the border cities ran to other places. This also includes his owner.
Anyway, he couldn't find a part-time job later. Su Yong, who was penniless and hungry for two days, had to go to the government office to apply for a soldier. As a result, he almost couldn't even lift the props and weapons - a wooden knife painted with white paint... Fortunately, the official in charge of recruitment heard him singing vigorously, so he joined the army.
......
......
The tall and majestic wall of Phoenix has been seen in front of him, and Wu Changsun Shangwu took the lead in rushing into the gate. Several people threw the rein to the groom and immediately walked hurriedly to the tower.
There is a row of stone-like armored soldiers standing on the tower, and a tall and burly figure is particularly conspicuous. At this time, the red sun had moved slightly westward. The afternoon sun sprinkled gold all over his lock armor, and it immediately emitted a gorgeous flame.
This man is more than two meters tall, with dark skin on his face and a huge sword hanging around his waist. He looked quietly outside the city without saying a word, like a statue.
Su Yong, who followed Sun Shangwu, saw him, and the hippie smile on his face immediately put away and changed into a serious and solemn look.
This black-mouthed and black-faced giant is not a player playing in the NBA. It is the Phoenix guard, the leader of Yan Chuan Yunyan, who is known as the "Black God of War".
"Report!"
Hearing the neat footsteps behind him, the black Yan did not turn around, but spit out a word in a low voice.
"Tay!"
A simple pronunciation almost shook the underground city bricks.
