Chapter 21 The army sets out for battle
Winter passes and spring comes, and another year comes.
As the snow and ice accumulated over the winter in the North gradually melt, the earth that has been sleeping for a long time is gradually glowing with new vitality.
In the fields, farmers who had rested all winter were working hard during the farming season, giving the vibrant land a somewhat busy look.
The State of Wei, by the Sushui River.
The vast plains stretched as far as the eye could see, but when I looked into the distance, I suddenly saw several red flags fluttering slowly in the breeze of early spring.
Under these flags, a heavily guarded camp stood quietly.
On the wall of the camp, a Wei army soldier wearing armor and holding a long sword solemnly guards, guarding against dangers that may arise at any time.
Just at this moment, bursts of loud voices sounded in the ears of these Wei soldiers.
"Follow up, keep up, keep up!"
"What about you? Come follow me!"
"quick!"
…
Following the bursts of sound, I saw a cloud of smoke and dust rising from the ground in the distance, just like a terrifying sandstorm sweeping across the sky.
When the sound gradually approached the camp, through the smoke and dust in the sky, others could get a glimpse of the scene.
What caused all this was not some wild beast, but an approaching army.
I saw that every soldier in this army was wearing full heavy armor, holding a sharp halberd in his hand, and a sharp sword on his waist.
Not only that, behind these soldiers were also carrying a large rhinoceros-faced oar, a powerful crossbow for long-range shooting, and fifty rounds of crossbow bolts to match it.
Judging from the equipment of these soldiers alone, the army in front of us can be said to be armed to the teeth.
Not only is it well-equipped, this army is also well-trained.
Even though they were carrying heavy armor and weapons, they were still able to maintain a complete formation during the march, which clearly shows how elite this army was.
This elite division in front of us is none other than the Wei Wuzu founded by Wu Qi, the former governor of Xihe County of Wei State.
In fact, rather than saying that Wu Qi founded Wei Wuzu, it is better to say that this army was one of the important achievements of Wei's reform.
When Wei Wenhou appointed Li Kui to implement reforms, Wei's national power greatly increased and it became one of the few powerful countries in the world.
It was precisely on the solid foundation obtained by Li Kui's reforms that Wu Qi, who was stationed in Xihe and defended the Qin State, relied on his unparalleled military talents to create this Wei military force that dominated the world.
Under the leadership of Wu Qi, this group of Wei soldiers once severely defeated the Qin army under the Yinjin City, and even achieved a brilliant record of "seventy-two battles and sixty-four victories."
Even if Wu Qi later left Wei and went to Chu, no one could deny that this elite group already possessed powerful strength that attracted the attention of all the princes in the world.
Watching the army enter the camp in an orderly manner, without any trace of panic, Wei General Gongsun Cuo, who stood on the arrow tower in the camp and watched all this, nodded slowly.
Gongsun Cuo was naturally very satisfied with the powerful military power of the Wei soldiers under his command. He also thought that one day he could lead this elite force to attack the city on the battlefield.
Just as Gongsun Cuo was watching the Wei soldiers quietly, a burst of footsteps suddenly appeared behind him.
"For your information, General, your chariot is about to arrive."
Upon hearing the news, Gongsun Cuo's eyes suddenly became somewhat solemn, and his left hand unconsciously held down the long sword at his waist.
…
"The last general, Gongsun Cuo, pays homage to your Majesty."
After a few breaths, Wei Hou, who came to inspect the military camp and inspected the military camp, looked at the veteran general in front of him and stepped forward quickly.
"General, please wake up quickly."
He lifted the opponent up with both hands and looked at the heroic figure in his field of vision. A trace of admiration slowly emerged in Wei?'s eyes.
"The war is approaching. I'm here today. Do you want to disturb me?"
"Your Majesty is here. It is a blessing for the general and the generals of the camp." After saying this, Gongsun Cuo turned slightly sideways and made an invitation gesture.
"Your Majesty, please."
Walking on the road in the military camp, Wei? He could only feel the shouts of killing ringing in his ears, and a chilling air rushed towards his face.
Such an atmosphere did not make Wei? feel any discomfort. On the contrary, it made him feel even more courageous after having experienced the battle.
With such a powerful army in hand, if we make good use of it, there will be no need to worry about the world being unfair.
Wei Wei walked in this camp for a long time and looked at it for a long time. Finally, his eyes slowly fell on Gongsun Cuo who was following him.
"The war is approaching, and all the armies have already assembled in Hedong and Daliang. General, you and your soldiers will belong to our Wei Army's Northern Front Army, and will be commanded by Prime Minister Gongshu Cuo to go north."
"The last general and his subordinates must fight to the death to kill the enemy and live up to the great trust of the king."
Looking at the battlefield veteran who made a solemn promise in front of him, Wei? slowly came to him, stretched out his right hand and patted the opponent's shoulder a few times.
Feeling the almost imperceptible tap on his shoulders, Gongsun Cuo felt as if there was a heavy weight on his shoulders for some reason.
Looking at Wei? in front of him, Gongsun Cuo saw full of expectation and a hint of kindness in his eyes.
"General, do you still remember the agreement between you and me on the shore of the turmoil last year?"
"The humiliation of the defeat in the Battle of Zhuoze, I will not forget, and the agreement I made with you, your Majesty, I will even dare not forget. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely defeat the Han and Zhao coalition forces and wash away the shame of that day."
"color!"
After a cheer, Wei?'s face became even more pleased, "On the day of the general's triumphal return, I will definitely keep my promise and welcome the general outside Anyi City."
…
"Woooooooo..."
"Dong dong dong..."
Long blasts of horns sounded the bleak sound of an impending war, and passionate war drums inspired the fighting spirit in the hearts of the soldiers.
"Your Majesty has arrived..."
Accompanied by a loud call from the etiquette officer, Wei? slowly appeared in front of the school grounds. Today, he was not wearing brocade clothes but a heavy armor.
Wearing heavy armor and a long sword hanging from his waist, Wei? slowly walked towards the stairs in front.

When he finally stood on the high platform in front of the school grounds and looked forward, what Wei saw was a sea of red.
The next moment, following the movements of the soldiers in the phalanx, the red ocean was churning up one wave after another.
"Greetings to your Majesty..."
"Greetings to your Majesty..."
"Greetings to your Majesty..."
…
Listening to the loud sound in his ears and feeling the grand momentum that came with it, Wei? He just felt like a small boat in the storm.
His left hand unconsciously pressed down on the long sword at his waist. Wei?'s eyes were less uncomfortable and more solemn.
"Soldiers..."
He shouted this with all his strength, and the next moment Wei? could feel all the eyes in the school focused on him.
A powerful spirit emerged from his heart, and then Wei? roared in his heart at the countless soldiers in the school field.
"Soldiers, Wei is a big country and its dignity cannot be violated."
"South Korea, the State of Zhao took advantage of the civil strife in Wei, raised unjust troops, invaded the territory of the State of Wei, and killed the people of the State of Wei."
"Can you bear this humiliation?"
Wei?'s roar fell, and the Wei army in front fell into silence for a while, and then suddenly broke out with a shocking momentum.
"cannot."
"cannot."
"cannot."
…
"Since you can't, then wave the halberds in your hands, shoot the crossbow bolts in your hands, and use your victories on the battlefield to wash away the shame that Zhao has brought to Wei."
By the end of the sentence, Wei Xi's face was completely red, and his eyes were filled with ferocious bloodshot eyes.
Pulling out the long sword from his waist and pointing it to the sky, Wei?'s command sounded in the school grounds.
"Army..."
"Go to war!"
