Chapter 238 Zhao Feng: Brothers, Let’s Go Home!
Daqin, the border of Yan!
At first glance.
A Jingguan covering an area of Aurora, with human heads piled up into a mountain, appeared on the grassland.
This place is only a few miles away from Daqin Xiangping.
A few months have passed.
The stench here has gradually disappeared, and it is covered with snow, which is even more horrifying.
"Finally back."
Looking at the Jingguan in front of him, which is like a mountain, Zhao Feng showed a smile on his face.
Then.
He raised the Overlord Spear in his hand and shouted in a mighty voice: "Brothers, I will take you home."
This voice of going home.
The thousands of sharp soldiers behind Zhao Feng were moved.
"Go home."
"We are finally home."
"God bless you."
...
All the sharp soldiers who returned alive shouted excitedly.
Looking at these soldiers.
Each one was covered in blood and looked very embarrassed from the appearance.
But only they themselves knew how many people they killed in this attack on the alien race.
And how many alien tribes were destroyed.
However.
If you look at them carefully.
Almost everyone carries a box wrapped in black cloth.
"Brothers, we are back home."
"The general has brought us back."
"We won this battle."
"With this battle, the alien race is seriously injured."
"They will never have the chance to go south to attack our Qin again in a few years."
...
Each sharp soldier looked at the box they carried, and each of them spoke gently.
Iron man with tender feelings.
This battle.
It lasted for more than four months.
Zhao Feng led 12,000 people into the heartland of the alien race.
But in such a long battle.
There were also many casualties.
There were 12,000 people when they went, and less than 5,000 people were left when they returned.
If the 2,000 people under Zhang Han are counted.
This battle.
Nearly 6,000 people were killed.
Compared with the alien races killed by them, this number does not seem to be large.
But for Zhao Feng, for these soldiers who fought side by side.
Every one of them who died was their brother, a close friend who fought side by side.
"Brothers, go home."
Zhao Feng shouted.
He rode his horse towards the border of the Qin Dynasty.
"Go home."
All the soldiers shouted loudly and rushed towards the Qin territory not far ahead.
After conquering the land of foreign races for so long, they are finally going home.
Xiangping City!
Tu Sui and Li You led the army to garrison here.
Nearly 200,000 troops are stationed.
This is also the royal decree.
Once any bad news comes back from the northern border, the army stationed in Xiangping City will immediately attack northward.
As the border city closest to the border, once the Donghu sends back the news, the first one will naturally be sent back to Xiangping City.
A few months have passed.
Xiangping City, which was originally slaughtered by foreign races, has been cleaned up, and many people who fled from Xiangping City have also returned.
However, compared with the past, nine out of ten houses in Xiangping City are now empty.
Almost every household has been slaughtered by foreign races.
Regardless of age, power or nobility.
For the people in the city at this moment, the invasion of foreign races that day was a nightmare, a nightmare that can never be forgotten.
Finally!
"Quick, open the city gate."
"The general is back."
"Quick."
More than a dozen patrolling scouts came to the city and shouted loudly.
Hearing the sound.
The general guarding the city took a look and immediately shouted excitedly: "Open the city gate."
"Quickly report to the two generals."
"The general has returned triumphantly."
"Quick."
The general guarding the city was also anxious.
For the current Qin Dynasty.
Zhao Feng is a hero-like existence, and his reputation in the army and among the people is unmatched.
For the soldiers of Wu'an Camp, Zhao Feng is regarded as the soul and faith of the army.
Zhao Feng is back at this moment.
How can they not be excited.
"Great."
"The general has returned safely."
"The general has returned safely, which is a blessing for our army."
"Don't just stand there, get ready."
"Let the firemen grill meat and make wine to welcome the general back."
Excited voices rang out on the tower.
For them, Zhao Feng's return is an incomparable honor, and for Daqin it is even more of an honor.
To put it in a bigger way.
Zhao Feng is not only a hero of Daqin, but also a hero of the entire China.
"General Zhao Feng is back."
"Hurry up, he is our great benefactor. If it weren't for General Zhao Feng, perhaps we would all die at the hands of foreigners."
"Prepare the wine and meat at home and go to welcome the general back."
"General Zhao Feng is a real hero. Our family was able to survive and not be slaughtered by foreigners. It's all thanks to the general. I must go to welcome him..."
As the news spread.
After the people in the city knew about it, they all put down their work and gathered on the official road in the city.
Every citizen came with strong gratitude.
In the blink of an eye.
Tens of thousands of people had gathered on both sides of the official road inside the city gate. Except for the hungry children, perhaps all the people in the city gathered here.
Even though the wind was cold and some people were shivering, they did not leave.
At this time!
From the city.
Tu Sui and Li You, surrounded by their personal guards, quickly rode towards the city gate.
When looking at so many people gathered together, the two of them couldn't help but be stunned.
"It's winter, and it's still snowing heavily."
"What happened?"
"Why do these people gather here?" Li You asked in confusion.
"The general has returned. Apparently they heard the news from the scouts."
"After all, the general's anger into the alien land was not only for the stability of the Qin border, but also to avenge the hundreds of thousands of people in Yan who died at the hands of the aliens."
"How could these people not know?"
"So they came spontaneously to welcome the general back." Tu Sui said with a smile.
Li You nodded, with a look of awe in his eyes: "The general is truly worthy of the awe of our Qin soldiers and civilians."
"Right."
"Did the general tell Miss Zhao when he returned?" Tu Sui suddenly remembered and asked.
"I've already sent someone to the military medical camp." Li You replied with a smile.
When Zhao Ying was mentioned, Li You's eyes lit up, and there was no concealment of his fondness.
See this.
Tu Sui couldn't help but shook his head.
This Li You is also stubborn.
Ever since Zhao Ying was transferred to Wu'an Camp to take charge of the military medical rescue and treatment of wounded soldiers, Li You has been pestering him and showing his feelings.
It has been almost two years now.
Li You persevered.
The whole army knows.
Many generals even started a betting game on whether Zhao Ying would agree to it in the future.
But this is also a joke.
soon.
The city gate opens.
Tu Sui and Li You got off their horses and walked towards the city gate through the light snow outside the city.
Waiting quietly.
finally.
After waiting for about a stick of incense.
Tread.
Tap tap tap.
Bursts of stepping sounds followed.
Snow is flying.
From a distance, thousands of cavalry could be seen riding through the snow towards Xiangping City.
When we arrived in front of the city.
The soldiers on the city tower and in the city all looked at it in stunned silence.
These Qin Qi who returned in front of them were like evil ghost Shura killed from the underworld.
Each one of them had disheveled hair, and their face, armor, and body were all stained with blood.
Not only the people, but also the horses they control.
All were covered in blood.
Even standing far away from here, you can smell the smell of blood coming from them.
Especially at this moment, the vast expanse of white outside the city was in stark contrast to them.
The red and white of blood and snow.
Four months of killing.
Zhao Feng led his soldiers to kill and flee all the way. This was done in parallel, and there was no direct confrontation with the foreign army.
What Zhao Feng wants to do is to weaken the strength of the alien race, not to lead his soldiers to die.
So there is no place to clean the blood on the body.
"The last general welcomes the general on his triumphant return."
Tu Sui and Li You strode forward and bowed to Zhao Feng.
The soldiers on duty outside the city and on the tower also bowed and paid homage: "Welcome the general back."
Loud shouts resounded throughout Xiangping.
"alright."
"Stop talking nonsense."
"Let the Huotou Army heat the hot water. My brothers and I haven't had a bath in more than four months."
Zhao Feng waved his hand and didn't want to talk nonsense.
This blood stained body still had a fishy stench, and Zhao Feng had already had enough.
"The last general takes orders."
The two responded immediately.
"Right."
Zhao Feng's face darkened slightly, and he turned his head to look at the warriors behind him. His eyes fell on the black cloth boxes carried on the backs of these warriors.
More than four months of killing.
Thousands of brothers stayed in the foreign land forever.
but.
Although they died, their military spirits will live on forever.
As their general, Zhao Feng did not let their corpses stay in the alien land, but cremated their corpses and brought them back.
No brother is left behind.
Even if there was danger in entering his tribe, Zhao Feng never gave up on any of his brothers.
Zhao Feng said he would take them home, so he would not break his promise.
now.
They all went home.
"Dig a grave behind Xiangping City and erect a monument in the name of the military plaque."
"Tomorrow, I will personally bury these brothers." Zhao Feng said with a bit of sadness in his voice.
See this.
Tu Sui and Li You's eyes also fell on the black cloth packages carried on the backs of the warriors.
They understand.
These are brothers who died in a foreign land.
Their eyes also became awe-inspiring.
"General."
"Brothers."
"Give us the remains of these old brothers."
Tu Sui stood up and said loudly.
Subsequently.
A wave of his hand.
Thousands of warriors who were originally on duty inserted their weapons on the ground.
He walked quickly towards the sharp warrior riding his horse.
But at this moment, they did not untie it, but turned their attention to Zhao Feng.
"Give them the bones of your brothers."
"Let them build monuments with military plaques and erect tombs. Tomorrow, we will go see the brothers on their last journey." Zhao Feng shouted loudly.
"I will obey the general's orders."
Thousands of warriors shouted in unison.
Then he untied the black cloth packages they carried on their backs and handed them to the left-behind robes who came forward.
When the remains of all the warriors who died in the battle were handed over to the warriors who stayed behind for sorting.
Zhao Feng waved his hand: "Enter the city."
Tu Sui and Li You immediately made way.
He looked at Zhao Feng and the soldiers who had killed the foreign races entering the city with awe.
"This battle."
"You can see how tragic it was from the general and these soldiers."
"More than four months of bloody battles in the heartland of the foreign races, every day I have to worry." Tu Sui said with emotion.
"No doubt."
"This army is the strongest soldier of my Great Qin, and no one in the world can match it." Li You said with the same awe.
Zhao Feng had just ridden into the city.
"Welcome the general to return triumphantly."
"Thank you, general, for avenging the people of Yan."
"Welcome the general to return triumphantly..."
Waves of shouts came from both sides of the official road.
Zhao Feng looked.
Tens of thousands of people stood on both sides of the official road, all kneeling on the snowy ground, shouting with gratitude.
Looking at this situation.
Zhao Feng was also somewhat unexpected.
"Please stand up quickly, fellow villagers."
"It's winter now, the weather is cold, don't get frostbite."
Looking at the people kneeling on both sides of the official road, Zhao Feng immediately persuaded them.
The winters of this era are very cold, and people can freeze to death.
And there are no cotton clothes, and they rely on bonfires and charcoal to keep warm.
"General Zhao."
"We came here specifically to thank you for leading the army to avenge us."
"We have all heard about your deeds in the foreign territory."
"You led the army to kill hundreds of thousands of foreign bastards and destroyed the foreign royal court. This is revenge for the people of our northern border."
"My son and daughter-in-law died at the hands of the foreign race. Now only I and my grandson are left."
"The general has avenged this blood debt for me, and I am very grateful."
An old man in his seventies stood up with his grandson, saying with tears in his eyes.
"As a soldier of the Qin Dynasty, I am also a soldier of China."
"It is my duty to kill the invaders and destroy the enemies."
"No need for you, old man."
Zhao Feng immediately dismounted and said gently.
"General Zhao."
"I understand."
"Originally, after you defeated the invading aliens, you didn't need to go deep into the alien territory alone."
"You are avenging the hundreds of thousands of innocent people who died at the hands of the aliens."
"I know, and all the people in the northern border know."
"Great kindness."
"I will remember it in my heart."
"I hope General Zhao will have a prosperous military career, I hope General Zhao will turn danger into safety, and I hope General Zhao will enjoy peace and wealth forever."
Said.
The old man knelt down again with his grandson and kowtowed to Zhao Feng.
"General Zhao is so kind, and I will remember it in my heart."
"I hope General Zhao will enjoy peace and wealth forever."
All the people thanked Zhao Feng with heartfelt gratitude and sincerity.
This.
Perhaps it is the only thing they can do.
For them.
Zhao Feng is not only their savior. If Zhao Feng had not led his army to the north to defeat and kill the foreigners, they might have become the dead souls under the swords of the foreigners.
And Zhao Feng is their revenger.
Zhao Feng led his army into the heartland of the foreigners in the northern border, and has been in danger for more than four months.
With Zhao Feng's identity, there is no need to do so.
But he still did it.
Who would not respect such loyalty?
Listening to the heartfelt shouts of tens of thousands of people.
Zhao Feng was also moved.
"Thank you for the congratulations from the villagers."
"Zhao Feng, I will never let you suffer from the bullying of foreigners again." Zhao Feng said to all the people with a fist.
Then.
He got on his horse.
He walked towards the city.
Zhao Feng understood.
If he stayed here, all the people would not leave and would continue to suffer from the severe cold.
"Welcome the warriors of Qin to return triumphantly."
"Welcome the warriors of Qin to return triumphantly..."
As Zhao Feng set off.
The people spontaneously shouted to these soldiers who were covered in blood and had experienced countless battles.
At this moment.
Every soldier was moved by this.
"Perhaps."
"This is also the meaning of the general leading us to fight against foreign races."
"So much sincere gratitude."
"We should have killed so many foreign races."
Every soldier couldn't help but think in his heart.
"There may be many rebellions in the Three Jins, those powerful people, and those who want to restore the country will rebel against our Qin."
"But the people of Yan may not, because of the general."
Tu Sui and Li You looked at each other and thought to themselves.
They walked to the military camp in the city.
At the gate of the camp.
A woman in a light blue dress was already waiting.
It was Zhao Ying.
When they saw Zhao Feng covered in blood.
"Brother."
"You're finally back."
Seeing Zhao Feng's bloody body, Zhao Ying rushed over with tears in her eyes.
Zhao Feng quickly dismounted.
He was about to say that he was dirty.
But Zhao Ying didn't hesitate at all and rushed over to Zhao Feng.
"Brother."
"You worried me to death."
"You ran to the northern grasslands without saying a word, and even ran to the heartland of the alien race. I was really worried about you."
Seeing her brother come back alive, Zhao Ying's suppressed worry for the past few months suddenly burst out, and tears could not stop flowing down.
Although she was also 22 years old.
But in front of Zhao Feng, she was just a little girl.
In front of her brother.
Zhao Ying didn't care at all.
"Can't you see that I stink?"
"You stink too when you pounce on me." Zhao Feng said gently, stroking Zhao Ying's hair.
"As long as you come back alive." Zhao Ying raised her head and said with concern.
"Some foreign bastards want to kill your brother, it's impossible." Zhao Feng still replied very gently.
"You won't go again after coming back this time?"
Zhao Ying met Zhao Feng's eyes with a questioning tone.
Zhao Feng naturally understood that this was his sister's concern.
"The foreign royal court has been destroyed by me, what else can I do."
"But."
"There should be another battle. After this battle, I will take you back to Xianyang." Zhao Feng said with a smile.
Although he had never met the King of Donghu.
But judging from the way the King of Donghu dispatched troops to encircle and suppress him, he would never give up after he had caused them such a great loss this time. Perhaps a large number of Donghu troops have already come to kill him.
However.
Before he was destroyed by him, Zhao Feng was not afraid of him. Now the entire Donghu has become a mess, with countless losses of food, fodder, and war horses.
Even if the King of Donghu really led his army to kill him.
He would definitely not be able to hold on for long and would retreat.
Because they do not have enough food and fodder to sustain the expedition.
Zhao Feng would wait for them in Xiangping City.
If the King of Donghu really comes, Zhao Feng will accompany him to the end.
"Miss Zhao."
"Let's wait for the general to wash up first."
"The general has never taken a bath during this expedition." Li You stepped forward and said with a smile.
...
