[69 Book Bar-www.] I looked at the sky. The sky was very beautiful, and it was almost dawn, but the east was a little shiny, and there was still a night sky above my head. In this vast sky, there were stars.
The starry sky thousands of years ago and thousands of years later are the same. It is bright and dull, and every star is as crystal clear as tears, like the desires of children and the hopes of parents.
Even if Tian Zhen chose the snake man, I would never give in. I gritted my teeth secretly, looked at the starry sky, and thought silently.
Seeing that I had been looking at the sky, Zhen Yining probably thought something was wrong, so he looked up at the sky. When I lowered my head, he suddenly said, "What a beautiful star."
I smiled and said, "Is this the first time you have seen the stars?"
He said a little embarrassedly: "I never paid attention to it before. Commander, what is the chance of winning this time we go to aid?"
I thought about it, and although I was reluctant to admit it, I still said: "It's only 30% at most."
"Thirty percent?" His eyebrows also frowned, "Commander, you are too pessimistic. We can kill all these thousand snake people with more than 3,000 snake people outside Dongping City. At most, there are only 20,000 to 30,000 snake people outside Dongping City.
, But we have already arrived at a 70,000 army. Even if we can't win as easily as we are now, there will always be a 50% chance of winning."
I sighed and said, "There are a thousand snake people here, I kind of suspect that they were not here to ambush us at all. Our speed is more than twice as fast as the brigade. I think they are building fortifications on the river.
I used fortifications to block us. I didn't expect that we would come so quickly, but I was afraid that the ones who were ambushed would be the thousand snakes. Have you ever discovered that when the snakes attacked us, they all took weapons used on land, as if
There is no tool to chisel the boat.”
When we went to recycle arrows, we also brought back some of the Snake Man's weapons, but most of them were just swords and guns, but there were some saws and axes. Zhen Yining turned around and looked at the snake man's corpse floating on the river behind him.
, sighed, "The snake man is really so powerful."
"These monsters must not underestimate the enemy."
I whispered, as if I was saying to Zhen Yining, and as if I was warning myself. Above my head, the starry sky was brilliant, and thousands of starlight were flashing on the dark sky. The sky before dawn was the darkest night.
But the starlight at the time seemed brighter than usual.
There is a legend in the empire that everyone has a star in the sky, but there are big and small. But no matter how small the star is, it will have its own light.
Which star will be my? The Emperor claims to be the sun, but why can't I be the sun?
It was as if I had seen something strange all of a sudden, I was stunned by my own thoughts. I looked at the sky, and the vast sea of stars became, the thinner the more I reached the east. The sun was almost out, and the faint starlight had been swayed by the horizon.
The sunlight shot from above was swallowed up and could not be seen clearly. On the sky in the east, the morning light was dim, and the sun was about to burst out faintly, just like a fire that burned everything, and even the steel would be melted in an instant
.
It’s better to be a star. I can’t help but want to laugh. Of course, there will be no one emperor who wants to be the sun, but only one sun is enough.
Although we delayed the night due to the Snake Man's ambush, the ship was moving very fast this time and it seemed that we could still arrive tomorrow night.
I stood on the boat until dawn, so I couldn't hold on anymore, so I took a nap. Today is March 13th, and we left the brigade in the early morning of the 11th. It seems that we could actually arrive in Dongping City in four days.
Although it is a straight line and much closer than land, we are proud to be able to achieve this speed.
After walking out of the cockpit, I happened to see Zhen Yining coming out of the cabin. He probably didn't rest well, and his face was not bloody. Sleeping among soldiers, of course, he had to get used to it, otherwise the snoring would be
It was enough for people to stay awake all night. He saw me and bowed, "Okay, commander."
"Didn't sleep well? Otherwise, you'd better live in my cabin and have someone set up another shop."
He shook his head and said, "You must get used to it, commander, thank you, but I'll still live below."
His temper is a kind of stubbornness that is different from his appearance, and I feel a little ashamed. Since I entered the army, I have been quite brave, but I have always loved quietness. The most uncomfortable thing in the past was to let me live among soldiers.
So after breaking through Gaojiu City, I would rather live outside alone. Compared with Zhen Yining, I, a poor family member, felt inferior to myself. I smiled and said, "Zhen Yining, this is what Ling Zun teaches you.
Is it? Lord Lingzun is really amazing."
He also smiled and said, "The commander is making fun of him." He seemed not to want to touch the topic on his father anymore, and looked at the river and said, "General Chu, I don't know what the battle in Dongping City is going on."
Since this confrontation with the Snake Man, I have no courage to slack off at all. I have only sent four people and two ships to explore the way, but this time I have sent twelve people to explore the way, four people in groups. The last time the two ships
The boat that has not come back must have been killed by the Snake Man without knowing it. This time it is divided into three groups. Once the situation changes, we will know immediately. However, the Snake Man does not seem to have placed the second ambush again.
It has been very peaceful today.
It was getting dark. Today's unusual peace seemed to indicate a more intense battle to come, and the army was a little restless. I don't know who suggested that a ship barbecue at the bow of the boat, and the aroma blew in the wind.
Come, there were many ships who could only follow suit. Cao Wendao also came over and suggested to me that the soldiers would barbecue at the bow of the boat.
When we arrived in Dongping City, the fresh meat would probably be cooked into a big pot and everyone would eat it separately, so these soldiers should take this opportunity to enjoy it for the last time. At the bow of the boat, the iron stove was brought to the deck, and the deck was on.
Paint a layer of sand and soil, and there will be no fire. I thought about it and agreed.
Now the morale is strong, and the soldiers cannot lose this spirit. Perhaps our vanguard of three thousand people has no practical use for the defense of Dongping City, but if we can win a battle outside Dongping City, we will defend the city.
The morale of the army is quite encouraging.
It was getting dark, and there were balls of fire on the bow of the boat. When the wind passed, the flesh was filled with the laughter of soldiers everywhere. Killed the group of ambushed snake men, whether they were the vanguard camp or the wolf soldiers,
Self-confidence is unprecedentedly high, and soldiers are cheering everywhere in the wind, mixed with small songs of southern and northern tunes, and I don’t know what to sing.
I watched everything around me by the boat. Zhen Yining ran over, inserted a piece of roasted meat with a fine wooden stick in his hand and said, "Tongzheng, why don't you go? Give this piece to you."
