Chapter 113 The war is about to begin
Wei State, Hexi, Shaoliang City.
Since another attack on Shaoliang failed a few days ago, the Qin army stationed outside the city was planning something and had not launched an attack on Shaoliang City for several days.
Although knowing all this, it is likely that the Qin army is accumulating strength, and perhaps a more violent attack will come tomorrow.
But the Shaoliang defenders, who had just experienced a bloody battle, were still enjoying the rare peace during this battle.
Holding a sharp halberd and wearing a set of red armor, Wei soldier Quan Xu was following behind his commander.
Although several days had passed since the battle on top of the city, the discomfort still felt in his body made him unable to forget the scenes of that day.
The sharp sword that was almost approaching, the ferocious look in his eyes that was about to kill him, and the scene in which he tried his best to kill the opponent...
The picture in his mind was so clear, and the horror between life and death was so real. After a while, Quan Xu's heart was filled with only the joy of surviving the disaster.
There was a smile on the painful face. No matter how dangerous the battlefield was, at least he could still patrol the city wall now.
Thinking of this and looking at the figure walking at the front, Quan Xu had a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
"Captain." Following the footsteps of everyone, Quan Xu called softly forward.
Hearing the voice coming from behind, a look of astonishment appeared on the commander's face, and he immediately stopped moving forward.
He slowly turned around and looked at Quan Xu behind him. Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, the village chief immediately understood that he might have something to say to him alone.
"Just keep going, we'll be there shortly."
"Here."
After a few breaths, when the footsteps of the Wei soldiers gradually faded away, the camp commander looked at Quan Xu in front of him.
"Quanxu, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Before the village chief finished speaking, Quan Xu immediately knelt down towards the front with great solemnity.
Seeing his actions, the village chief's tone suddenly became louder, "Quan Xu, if you have anything to say, just say it. There is no need to be so polite."
Quan Xu, who was stopped by the commander's arms, his eyes were full of gratitude at this moment, "If there had been no commander that day, Quan Xu would have died on the battlefield."
"Quan Xu will never forget the life-saving grace of the commander of the village. If one day comes..."
"Okay, I told you it doesn't have to be like this." His arms once again used their strength to help Quan Xu stand up in front of him. A look of satisfaction appeared in the commander's eyes, "The reason why I saved you is because
Not because I want you to repay me in the future, but because you are my subordinate."
"If you haven't encountered it, then of course I can't do anything about it; but I saw with my own eyes that you were about to be in danger, how could I stand by and watch?"
He seemed to have thought of something when he said this. A bit of nostalgia suddenly flashed in the village chief's eyes, and his thoughts gradually drifted away.
It was a war that took place in the east of Wei State more than ten years ago. Because Qi State sent a large army to capture Sanqiu of Yan State, Wei State, Zhao State and South Korea formed a coalition to attack Qi State.
Under Sanqiu City, the Allied Forces of the Three Jin Dynasties and the martial arts warriors of Qi State started a battle. It was also the first time that the commander of the army set foot on the battlefield as a soldier.
Even though more than ten years have passed now, the village commander still can't forget the sharp sword in the hands of Qi's martial arts warriors, and the figure who saved him from the enemy's sword.
"I will never forget the life-saving grace of a hundred generals."
"It doesn't have to be like this, this is what I should do."
…
His thoughts gradually returned to his mind from afar. Looking at Quan Xu who looked just like him before, a trace of relief suddenly flashed in the village chief's eyes.
However, after thinking about it, comparing Ri Quanxu's performance that day with his performance more than ten years ago, the commander felt a little ashamed.
The young man in front of me is indeed a little better than he was back then.
Thinking of this, the smile on the commander's face became even brighter. He clenched his right hand into a fist and smashed it towards Quan Xu who was opposite.
Along with a dull sound, the commander of the village said with a smile: "But Quan Xu, you are really not a bad boy. If I read it correctly, you should have just killed a Qin soldier that day, right?"
"It was really a narrow escape that day. I still have lingering fears when I think about it."
A trace of fear slowly appeared on his face, and was soon replaced by a smile filled with joy, "It's only because of the good teachings of the commander that I can kill the enemy on the battlefield."
"You boy."
After hearing Quan Xu's somewhat flattering words in his ears, he chuckled and scolded slightly, and the expression on the commander's face suddenly turned serious.
"But I still say that, there may be danger at any time on the battlefield, so you must be careful."
"Don't worry, Commander, Quan Xu understands."
After answering this sentence solemnly, Quan Xu seemed to have thought of something else, but there was a bit of hesitation in his expression.
Seeing Quan Xu's appearance and looking at the soldiers in the distance, he heard the commander of the camp say in a deep voice: "If you want to ask anything, feel free to ask. Anyway, there is no one else here."
When Quan Xu heard the words of the village chief, a look of determination suddenly appeared in his eyes, and then he asked the question he had been wanting to ask these days.
"Captain, do you think we can defend Shaoliang City?"
"this……"
Hearing this question from Quan Xu, the village chief showed a hint of hesitation in his words.
However, when the figure in his heart appeared in his mind, a determined look appeared on the face of the commander.
"Certainly possible."
"We have been holding on for a full month under the powerful offensives of 100,000 people from the Qin army again and again. I believe we will be able to persist until the day of victory."
"And maybe at this moment, the reinforcements are not far from Shaoliang. It is not up to the Qin army to decide who wins and who loses on the battlefield."
"color."
After a round of cheers, a figure wearing red armor appeared in front of the two of them. After seeing the other person's appearance clearly, both the village chief and Quan Xu showed a bit of surprise on their faces.
"See Hundred Generals."
"See General."
That's right, the figure that suddenly appeared was none other than the current Wei Shaoliang general, Zhai Liang.
Zhai Liang slowly stepped forward and helped the two men up respectively. A solemn look appeared in Zhai Liang's eyes, "Well said, the outcome of this war is not decided by his Qin army."
Just at this moment, a burst of footsteps came from behind the three people, and a loud voice of report appeared on the top of the city.
"General Qi, reinforcements have arrived!"
After hearing this report mixed with excitement, Zhai Liang and the others immediately walked forward quickly and soon appeared behind the female wall.
Looking into the distance, a red Wei flag is slowly rising above the distant horizon.
Reinforcements have arrived and the war is about to begin!
