Mingdi shot into the night sky with a sharp sound.
A white snowdrop bloomed.
The night is dark and the wind is cold.
Dozens of kilometers outside Jiangning City, the wilderness is bleak.
A long team hurriedly advanced under the familiar night. Looking from a distance, you can see that the front of the team has already approached the intended target, but behind the team, there has been a constant movement.
It stretches to the Yangtze River ferry.
The vast army formed a snake shape and advanced along the prescribed route. A rough calculation showed that the number of this team was no less than 20,000.
The sergeants stepped on the frost-covered ground and advanced compactly. The iron clothes reflected the cold light of the bright moon, refracting streaks of frightening cold light.
Although the night was bleak and the direction ahead was difficult to discern, the team did not light torches. It was not that they did not want to, but the commander in chief of the army gave them a stern order not to light open fires along the way.
There was a lot of silence along the way, except for the heavy breathing of the soldiers and the clanking of armor and weapons.
In this oppressive night, after a long journey, this team finally stopped less than five miles away from Jiangning City.
Then, various officers led their respective teams towards the gates of each party.
"Hey, Uncle Wang, what are we doing in Jiangning City? Why are we doing this with such a big fanfare?" A soldier with a childish face seemed to be unable to bear the heavy iron clothes on his body. After he stopped, he sat down
On the ground, a bearded veteran was beside him, panting and whispering.
The colleagues around them are inevitably a little curious. From the time they set off until they were stationed outside Jiangning City, the orders they received were to prepare for battle.
They didn't know exactly who they were fighting or where they were fighting. However, looking at everyone's calm expressions, they all knew that they were about to face an extremely difficult battle.
"Why are you talking so much!" The soldier glared at him and scolded him in a low voice.
He turned around, glanced at his colleagues who were coughing and pretending not to listen, and scolded him in a low voice: "Don't pry if you shouldn't pry!"
"When the fight starts, remember to stay with me and don't run around, you know?" The soldier stretched out his hand, straightened the helmet on the little soldier's head, and said in a low voice.
"Why, I still want to chop off a few heads to get promoted and make a fortune!" The little soldier immediately retorted, raising his head in dissatisfaction, showing off his underdeveloped chest muscles.
Even though he was nervous, Bingtou was still amused by this little guy.
"Just cut off the arse. Are you planning to chop off people's heads? How many more?" After the soldier glared at him angrily, he glanced around secretly, turned around and said in a low voice: "Look at this.
With the formation, you know how difficult it will be to fight in a while! You might risk your life here!"
"Who are we going to fight?" Seeing the soldier saying in such a deep voice, the little soldier became even more doubtful.
"Shh, don't talk. The law enforcement team is here!" The soldier was about to reveal the secret, but he heard the sound of rapid horse hooves behind him. He looked back and saw a few tall horses behind him.
The law enforcement team of the Dead Company drove over on horseback.
"brothers!"
"Uh"...the grandsons of the law enforcement team seemed to have a very kind tone today.
They actually changed the name of the bastard they always regarded as a brother. The soldiers heard this and looked sideways at these living kings of hell.
"The general said it!" The soldiers of the law enforcement team also felt that their title was a bit disgusting. They coughed and began to pass the order.
"The general said that tonight, our scheduled location is Jiangning. And the enemy we have to deal with." The leader of the law enforcement team paused for a moment, condescendingly looking at the soldiers who looked a little tired after a night of traveling.
Then, he suddenly raised his voice and said: "It's a Japanese warrior!"
Wow...
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers' expressions suddenly changed slightly.
To them, the Japanese are no strangers at all.
They are different from the Jiangning garrison, which lives deep in the hinterland and has not moved for several years. This team is a dedicated army responsible for river and sea defense.
Over the years, they have constantly fought against various gangsters and robbers. Among them, in recent years, more and more Japanese people have become their targets.
They all have an inexplicable nervousness towards Japanese people.
Those people seemed not afraid of death. Even if they fought to the last man, facing thousands of troops surrounding them, those Japanese people were like madmen, waving their knives and charging desperately.
As the saying goes, those who are bold are afraid of being stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of losing their lives.
Although these sergeants in charge of sea and river defense are all experienced warriors, facing the Japanese who are like lunatics, to be honest, they are still a little scared.
Moreover, those Japanese people are very skilled in martial arts, and often one Japanese person can fight to a draw with three or four brothers with the long sword in his hand.
And, they will always surrender.
At this time, they heard the law enforcement team's live King of Hell saying that they were going to deal with the Japanese Empress tonight. These soldiers couldn't help but feel a sense of timidity in their hearts.
"Brothers!" The person who spoke was the most annoying guy in the law enforcement team. This guy is the leader of the law enforcement team. He always walks back and forth in the army with a dead face every day. When he sees the soldiers
If he doesn't practice seriously, he will be scolded and even corporally punished. Beating and scolding are commonplace. If there is one person who is the most disliked in the military camp, it must be him.
However, this man had a very high status in the army. Although he had no official position or position, Master Duan seemed to respect him very much. This made the soldiers very curious.
Now, they saw this living King of Hell coming forward and speaking. The soldiers all looked forward to seeing what kind of flowers this King of Hells could come up with.
"Oh, my name is Wu Zheng!" The leader of the law enforcement team with a deep scar on his face said to these soldiers with an ugly smile: "I am the living king of hell under you!
"
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers lowered their heads one after another and kept coughing, pretending that it was none of their business.
"Ha, I didn't want to talk about it today!" Wu Zheng smiled, tightened the reins on his hands, and stopped the restless horse. Then he smiled, pointed forward, and looked back at Jiedushi.
The Lord smiled and said: "But Boss Duan said, Wu Zheng, look at these guys, they look restless. Just tell them about your embarrassing things back then, so that everyone can have fun!"
"
Seeing that the soldiers' faces were no longer as reserved as before, Wu Zheng smiled and said lightly: "Since Boss Duan has said it, Wu Zheng and I have no choice but to obey!"
"I'm a soldier!" Wu Zheng smiled and said lightly.
The soldiers below were slightly shocked when they heard this. The look of disdain and even hostility in their eyes gradually dissipated. They held their breath and began to listen to the story of this living king of hell. My home is in our Jiangning
, Well... it's the one near the sea!" Wu Zheng raised his hand and pointed to the east. He said in a calm tone: "But, oh, my home was gone when I was very young!"
"When I was ten years old, more than a dozen Japanese drifting from the sea broke into our village. More than a hundred people in the village died overnight! Of course, including my father, mother, and sister
, Brother, grandparents, there are a lot of them, including relatives, there are probably more than 20 people!" Wu Zheng's expression remained calm and he spoke lightly. In that cold and calm tone, it seemed that he was really telling him something else.
Unrelated things "I am lucky. My mother hid me in a water tank and escaped!" Wu Zheng raised his head and laughed. Under the cold moonlight, the soldiers still saw this.
The trembling hands of the living king of hell.
“At that time, my *** was still young and I thought everyone in my family was asleep.
Ignore me!" As if thinking of the tragic incident some years ago, Wu Zheng's tone became a little excited, and he twitched the corner of his mouth, revealing an ugly smile.
"Damn it, I shook my father hard at the beginning, trying to get him to open his eyes and go to the sea with me to fish!"
Having said this, Wu Zheng shrugged his shoulders, lowered his head and was silent for a while.
"Brothers, am I stupid?" Suddenly, Wu Zheng raised his head, stared at these soldiers whose breath became a little heavy, and yelled.
The soldier was silent, his eyes gradually becoming murderous.
"It seems stupid!" Wu Zheng laughed to himself.
After sighing, he continued: "Later, Boss Duan came to Jiangsu and became the general of this area! As for me, in order to avenge my family, I followed Boss Duan! Later, the coastal defense camp was established, and I
Well, I am honored to be the first battalion officer of our coastal defense battalion!"
"From then on, I took people out every day to look for those Japanese ***!"
"Heaven pays off!" Wu Zheng raised his head and sighed.
"I finally caught those grandsons!" Wu Zheng pointed with his index finger, suppressed his excitement, and said in a deep voice: "At that time, I led a total of twenty soldiers. And those Japanese people
, but there are more than a hundred!”
"What happened next? You ran away?" At this point, the soldiers below began to speak out. However, the words of the question made the surrounding soldiers look at each other angrily.
"Haha, you are half right!" Wu Zheng smiled, but then he said with a sad look on his face: "I thought about it, but I didn't run away!"
"We were discovered!" Wu Zheng curled his lips.
"and after?"
"Later, we decided to go with those guys!" Wu Zheng laughed lightly and said calmly.
"Then, what happened next?"
"Twenty people can't defeat a hundred! In the end, we decided to row directly with the wind and hit them!" Wu Zheng chuckled, a cunning and cruel look flashed across his face, and he smiled ferociously.
In an instant, the look of death on Wu Zheng's face made many sergeants who were listening quietly feel a chill in their hearts. Their bodies also straightened a lot.
"That day, the wind and waves were very strong. It was also deep sea. As long as those guys made a small hole in their boat, they would definitely die!" Wu Zheng chuckled and said with a chuckle: "We are lucky, eleven brothers died.
Finally hit their big ship!"
"I feel so happy when I see those gangsters and the capsized ship with their frightened eyes!" Wu Zheng raised his head and laughed.
"Later, I simply jumped into the sea, dragged them down, drowned them, or wiped their necks!" Wu Zheng smiled, then suddenly seemed to think of something, turned around and pointed at himself
The companion who was lowering his head and laughing said: "Well, this is the two kings of hell you are talking about privately. This guy killed more than twenty people in the sea by himself!"
"However, it is a pity that after all those Japanese people drowned, we had no strength left!" Wu Zheng sighed and said with a wry smile: "Of the nine brothers, in the end, only three swam back!"
"I watched helplessly as my brother who survived the disaster was buried in the sea with no bones left!"
"Moreover, that guy Fatty Xiong died after landing!" Wu Zheng lowered his head, raised his head and wiped his eyes. He grinned, sighed and cursed: "It's so fucking fucked!"
The night color is like ink, and the cold wind rages across the wilderness.
Howling like a wild beast. In the sky, the cold moonlight shed a cold light. It shone on the black armor of the soldiers, reflecting a cold light as strong as ice.
"Now, you bastards, do you know why I have to pick on you?" Wu Zheng raised his head, with tears in his eyes, looking at the faces of these young and naive nèn, and said with a smile.
The soldiers were silent, their eyes full of excitement as they looked at the veteran who had gone through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Seeing that the fighting spirit of the soldiers was ignited, Wu Zheng led the horse back a little bleakly.
He didn't want to talk about his past. Every memory meant reopening the wound. The heart-breaking pain made him feel deep fear in his bones.
"The King of Hell is mighty!"
Behind him, there was deathly silence. Suddenly, tens of thousands of soldiers began to roar randomly.
The roars gradually merged into a unified shout.
Tens of thousands of soldiers came out, holding their swords high and pointing to the sky. They looked at the veteran riding on the horse with scars all over his body. With excitement in their hearts, they shouted in unison: "The King of Hell is mighty!"
"The King of Hell is mighty!"
The uniform shouts were like the roar of a ferocious beast that suddenly woke up after sleeping for a long time, shaking people's hearts.
The sound became more and more like, shaking the heaven and earth, echoing in this silent wilderness, lingering for a long time.
"This guy!" Duan Peng, who was in front of the team and was wearing bright light armor, laughed and cursed when he saw Wu Zheng looking up and smiling secretly amidst the cheers of the people under the moonlight.
This guy refused his request several times and insisted on being scolded in the thankless position of the law enforcement team.
Duan Peng asked him why several times.
Unexpectedly, this guy just kept silent.
I know that one time, this guy drank too much, so he said with a mouth full of alcohol.
I don't want to make military achievements, I just want those grandsons to survive!
With this sentence, Duan Peng never mentioned his promotion again.
Bar"……
At this time, Duan Peng laughed and scolded Wu Zheng when he saw Wu Zheng amidst the cheers of the soldiers, but he was moved in his heart by having such a soldier.
Bar……
suddenly.
In Jiangning City, a sharp cry broke the silence of the night.
After Duan Peng heard the sound, he turned around sharply.
I saw, in the deep night sky, a pure white lotus blooming in an instant!!.
