Chapter 2084: Chapter 196: Heroes Are Not the Only Ones Who Sing Long Songs in This World (Part 2)
Si Jiao raised his voice: “Both enemy and us are flesh and blood, all will get hurt, all will die! Every soldier from Qi Country, every Pri Stone has to travel thousands of miles to get here. But for us, beneath our feet is our own land, step outside and it’s the battlefield, behind us is our holand. Millions of citizens, filling their army of hundreds of thousands, what suspense could there be! Even if we carry and lift, even if we bite and tear, soldiers, we can definitely drive away the Qi thieves and restore Fengjie!”
“Drive away the Qi thieves, restore Fengjie!!”
The soldiers shouted excitedly!
The roar spread throughout the city, stirring waves of sound.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the city, the military camp where the Shenwu Army was stationed also beat their war drums, shaking the heavens for a ti.
“Soldiers!” Si Jiao reached out and pressed down, calming the tide, and said: “Go and rest, the National Defense Great Formation has been activated, Tong Yang City is as solid as a fortress, everyone can rest easy!”
Long Reef then turned his horse around, leading the army back to camp.
Si Jiao watched the National Defense Army march away, then turned back to the civil and military ministers on the gate tower and said: “Since the National Defense Great Formation has been activated, don’t shut it down. Our Da Xia has governed diligently for 32 years, the treasury is full, there’s plenty of Pri Stones. And who knows how long Qi thieves with their distant expedition, this million-strong army, can engage in battle!”
Chi ngfu stood in a corner away from the crowd, silently gazing at the Qi army.
In the midst of great battle, once the National Defense Great Formation is fully activated, there is no reason to shut it down casually.
Especially now that the Qi army is invading in full force, with soldiers deployed in many directions, Sumr Country does not have the privilege to shut down the National Defense Great Formation.
Of course, “don’t shut down,” and “can’t shut down,” indeed have wordings that would affect morale.
Although everyone here is the high-level of the Sumr Country, people who are clear-hearted, King Wu still pays attention to the way of speaking… Why would he pay attention to these details?
King Min on the tower has not spoken.
King Wu was still talking about what cos next, which prefectures need to focus on defense, which roles among the Qi army deserve special attention…
Listening to this, the gaze of Chi ngfu drifted even further…
…
…
Outside Tong Yang City, the camp of the Qi army has been formally set up.
Short walls of deer antlers, arrow towers with giant crossbows… each military array plate, supporting temporary large formation defense.
The military tents stretched out, almost like another city on the Jiangyin Plains.
Of course, this temporarily set up camp, although it might appear large, its defense cannot compare to Tong Yang City.
But the Qi army is not afraid of field battles at all, instead, they wish for the Sumr army to attack out of the city.
Night has already fallen, huge suspended lamps lit up, making it as bright as day here.
On the still frozen east bank of Lian River, they set up camp.
The Autumn Kill Army that broke through Jianfeng Mountain and the Wind Pursuit Army that just finished the fierce battle, all are on the east bank of Lian River, watching across the ice river with Spring Death Army.
The battlefield had long been cleared.
Cartloads of Qi army bodies were transported back to the east bank.
Military clerks individually confird their identities, recorded their rits — even if so were unrecognizable due to their mangled flesh, each team compared with missing soldiers, they could have a recognition.
At this mont, a large clearing was made on the east bank of Lian River.
Collected from the battlefield, all of the Qi army’s bodies were piled up here.
When attacking Jianfeng Mountain, there were deaths. In three days, the flag of Fengjie Prefecture was replaced everywhere, costing many comrades’ lives.
But not as many died today.
What is the scene when more than thirty thousand corpses piled together?
It’s a silent mountain!
Flesh and blood, yet also earth and mountain rock.
They are the saber and spear of the Great Qi Empire, also the high walls and thick shields of the Great Qi Empire, the empire is able to achieve greatness and retain honor because they sacrificed themselves.
They laid down their flesh and blood, paving a solid foundation, so that tall buildings could rise from the ground.
Li Zhengyan, fully armored, with Wind Pursuit Army generals, deputy generals, commanders behind him…
Including Li Fengyao, including Li Longchuan, all with solemn expressions.
The still living Wind Pursuit Army soldiers, stood in silent circles around the corpse pile.
The crowd opened a path.
Accompanied by Yan Ping, Cao Jie ca armored.
The path slowly closed.
This leader of the Fa Xia War’s three armies, walked forcefully yet slowly.
He ca to Li Zhengyan’s side, stopped, and bowed deeply towards this mountain of fallen Qi army soldiers. Representing the entire Fa Xia Military Governor’s Office’s determination to never forget the sacrifice of these soldiers.
The ti has co…
Li Zhengyan raised his palm, gently pushed forward, a gesture of farewell.
A fierce fla ignited on the Corpse Mountain, while he turned his head to look at the distant sky.
This man, who remained calm amidst mounted cavalry assaults, who led from the front on the battlefield, could not bear to look now.
Tens of thousands were burning.
Burning were their corpses. Illuminated was the night sky in a foreign land.
All those who fought for their country, all those who struggled for the families behind them.
Their ashes will be brought back ho, giving those who lost them so ntion.
The raging fire.
Li Fengyao, usually as cold as an iceberg, opened her mouth, singing war songs.
The spotted blood did not affect her beauty, the firelight reflected on her extraordinarily beautiful face, like frost flowers blooming in this place burying comrades.
The frosty voice floated below the night sky.
The sorrow frozen by the frost was so heartbreaking.
Including Cao Jie, including Yan Ping, including Li Zhengyan who was striving to gaze at the distant night sky, including all present Wind Pursuit Army soldiers, couldn’t help but open their mouths…
