The commander-in-chief's words were majestic and powerful, powerful and resonant.
However, no one in the western troop dared to doubt the words spoken by this man who was widely acknowledged as the most boorish, unreasonable, adept at scolding and cursing people's ancestors.
He could really do what he said!
He would definitely do what he said when he said he would erect a tombstone in front of anyone's house if they were a coward. He would do exactly the same when the time came; there would be no room for negotiation.
The elites of the Western Legion roared as they charged out.
There was a voice in everyone's heart that answered, "We can't be cowards even if we're beaten to death!"
If a tombstone of shame were to be erected in front of their house …
F * ck, how could their families face the world in the future?
Moreover, Wang Yunzhu's last sentence ignited the blood of all the soldiers in the Western Army.
"Fu Baoguo is Yutang's top young general, this is publicly acknowledged. Your father is convinced, but the eastern troop has always been called Yutang's top troop – your father is not convinced! Remember to snatch this title back for your father when I send you over. Your father has lost once, my subordinates must not lose again! "
"Snatch it back! We must snatch it back! "
A hundred and fifty thousand men roared in unison, causing the ground to tremble.
The leader of the reinforcement troops was the vanguard of the Western Army, Sun Zihu, the most valiant general under Wang Yunzhu. Before leaving, Marshal Wang called Sun Zihu aside and said solemnly, "Sun Zihu, you must remember …"
"Marshal, can you call me by my full name? You can even call me Huzi! Don't you find it awkward to call me grandson with such a serious expression? "Sun Zihu looked at his commander with extreme displeasure. His face was full of whiskers.
"F * ck, scram! Scram, scram! Your father wanted to give you a few more reminders, but I'm not in the mood now. I won't say anything to you! "Wang Yunzhu kicked his trusted subordinate away.
Sun Zihu scrambled to his feet and left.
Following which, the army set off and left quickly.
Seeing that the army was getting further and further away, Wang Yunzhu slapped the big tree beside him in annoyance. "I wanted to tell him to bring back as many brothers alive as possible … I was already so serious and serious … but that bastard is so insensitive … If he really dares to kill too many of our brothers, I'll really turn his grandson into a grandson!"
The generals at the side rolled their eyes at him.
Insensitive?
Marshal, you've been calling him grandson for eight years … Who can understand such amorous feelings?
Your solemn, formal, and serious attitude is really too formal, too serious, too serious, too serious, too serious!
The reason why Sun Zihu didn't argue with you on the spot like he usually is probably because you're being so formal and serious. Sun Zihu is really giving you face …
However, they only cursed in their hearts and didn't say it out loud. After all, everyone knew the Marshal's true thoughts.
When the army was far away and could no longer be seen, the vulgar and abnormally boorish Grand Marshal stood on that high spot for a long time, gazing into the distance for a long time. It was as if he could still see the long gone figures of the reinforcements from the Western Front, but also as if he was looking forward to the safe return of his soldiers!
His lonely figure, with his hands behind his back, kept gazing into the distance. He didn't move a single step until the sky turned dark.
No one dared to look at the Marshal's face.
All the generals silently went back by themselves.
That night, the western camp was silent.
It was said that the Marshal was drunk, which was rare for him. He was dead drunk …
…
Sun Zihu had been traveling at lightning speed all along the way.
Especially when he left, he tried his best to control himself and not look back.
He had followed the Marshal for eleven years. After spending eleven years together, he knew the Marshal's temperament like the back of his hand.
At the last moment, how could Sun Zihu not know what the Marshal wanted to say?
However, he didn't let the Marshal say it.
Because if the Marshal said it, he was afraid that he would cry uncontrollably.
He was a man, yet a seven-foot tall man was crying. It was too embarrassing.
However, going to the eastern front this time … to participate in the most tragic battle of his life. How many of his one hundred and fifty thousand brothers would come back alive?
No one could guarantee this!
Even Sun Zihu himself didn't have the confidence to come back alive!
"Marshal, if I, Sun Zihu, can come back alive, I will still be your vanguard! At that time, even if you still call me grandson … I … I … I … Damn it, can you not call me grandson anymore?! "
Sun Zihu wiped away the tears in his eyes and replied to himself on behalf of the Marshal in his heart, "Damn it! If I don't call you grandson, how can I call you grandfather? So what if I call you grandson? I want to call you grandson for the rest of my life … grandson, grandson … "
"Damn it! The Marshal is so rude! I can't change it in this lifetime! "
Sun Zihu scolded jokingly, laughing with tears in his eyes.
The deputy general beside him was also a tall and strong fellow. He asked in disbelief, "General, are you crying?!"
Sun Zihu was enraged when he heard that. His face flushed and his hair stood on end as he roared with all his might, "Damn it! You're the one crying! You're the one who's crying! Do you have eyes for pissing?! When did I cry? You bastard! Men, record this general's military order. Wang Daxiong has belittled his superior. Next month's pay will be deducted! "
Wang Daxiong was speechless.
Mmp!
He was clearly crying and yet he didn't allow anyone to say anything.
Deducting pay at the drop of a hat! Don't you know any other tricks … My pay for the past three years has already been confiscated by you. If it weren't for the fact that you took the money and gave your pay to the families of the martyrs … I would have already chopped you up with my sword.
…
The army marched day and night without stopping.
By the time Sun Zihu led the western reinforcements to the Fortress of Resilience, they had arrived a day and a half ahead of schedule.
All the elites of the Western Army were steaming hot in this cold weather!
However, this had become the norm for the western reinforcements. Everyone's cotton clothes had been drenched in sweat at least thirty to forty times along the way.
They had to continue wearing them even when they were drenched, drying themselves with their own body temperature. They dared not take them off no matter how uncomfortable they were. Once they were taken off to dry, the cotton clothes would immediately turn into hard metal in the cold weather. By then, they would truly have nothing to wear!
However, Sun Zihu's eyes widened the moment he saw the situation in front of the Fortress of Resilience.
When he rushed over, it was just when the offensive and defensive sides had just finished a battle.
The ground in front of the Fortress of Resilience was dyed crimson.
The Fortress of Resilience was a pass that would be reinforced by generations of defending generals, but it was already filled with signs of destruction. Everything else aside, just the marks on the tens of thousands of catties of rocks that had been used to forge the walls sent chills down Sun Zihu's spine.
What kind of attack had they endured to leave such marks?
As far as the eye could see, the rock that was rumored to be indestructible was covered in cracks, and some of the outer layers of the rock had already been ripped off.
Sun Zihu, who had been through hundreds of battles, knew what kind of situation this would happen. Only when the attacking soldiers had already rushed up the walls but had yet to step in would such a situation occur. In other words, someone had already climbed up to the top of the wall in the battle just now, grabbing onto it with both hands. He only needed to flip over and he would be able to enter. However, he was suddenly pushed back down at that very moment.
The soldier who fell from the top of the city wall, following the strongest survival instinct of human nature, made him grab randomly in that instant, hoping to grab anything that could support him and stabilize his body. Only in that kind of situation would he be able to dig out that kind of stone fragment from the outside of the city wall!
The entire outer wall of the Fortress of Resilience was in such a state.
How many times of intense seesaw attacks and defenses had they gone through to achieve such a state?
The more he thought about it, the more intimidated he became. It was truly frightening and soul-stirring!
At that moment, Dongxuan's troops outside the fortress were cleaning up the corpses of their fallen soldiers.
Upon closer inspection, Sun Zihu felt a chill run down his spine, his muscles tightening.
Looking from afar, many of Dongxuan's soldiers' corpses could no longer be carried on stretchers; there were simply too many dead; there were simply not enough stretchers to carry them.
Dongxuan's troops had used carriages to load the carriages, laying down long and wide wooden planks. The corpses of the fallen soldiers were tossed onto the carriages like broken sacks. A wooden carriage could probably hold dozens of corpses; if they were piled higher, there would be a few more.
This was only the surface of the corpses strewn all over the ground.
After moving one corpse, there were still many more below. Another layer was moved, and another layer was moved … It was only when the ground was dyed red that the process of cleaning up the corpses came to an end.
In spite of this, the blood that flowed on the ground was even more ghastly.
The elites of the western troop sucked in a cold breath, their hearts chilled.
Tragic!
