Liu Zongqi, a soldier of the Eighth Regiment, was accidentally shot by a cold arrow from the enemy, and Wen Wuji helped him bandage and encouraged him to live strong and return home to honor his parents. Zhang Xiaojing saw that the brothers had no arrows, so she took Ding Laosan to the battlefield to pull the arrows from the dead bodies. The surviving brothers all had a common desire to return to Chang’an City alive, but they were hungry and cold. With a meal of rice left, Wen Wuji will tell everyone about the delicacies of Chang’an City to relieve hunger.
Xiao Gui is a flag bearer. He hasn’t sleep for more than ten days. He keeps guarding the flag of the eighth regiment. Zhang Xiaojing gives him the only mint leaves on his body to refresh him. Xiao Gui is worried that he can’t go back alive. If one day he can’t protect himself. Staying with the flag, I asked Zhang Xiaojing to cut off his head and take his eyes back to take a good look at Chang’an City. Zhang Xiaojing clearly remembers Wen Wuji’s description of the prosperity and prosperity of Chang’an City in Chang’an City.
In the hearts of the group’s brothers, Chang’an City is not only the capital of the Tang Dynasty, but the heart of the empire that overlooks sentient beings and shelters the people on the dragon’s head, and the largest city in the world ahead of the ancient times. Xiao Gui urges Zhang Xiaojing not to listen to nothing. Ji’s propaganda, his father once served in the Ministry of Defense and was later demoted to Qiuci. Xiao Gui only hates Chang’an City. Zhang Xiaojing would rather believe Wen Wuji. His only dream is to return to Chang’an.
The minister of rites, Zhang Mouyan, announced that there would be a banquet at Shangyuan night, and the officials would appreciate the wonderful lanterns with the people of the world, and pray for the prosperity of the coming year. The civil and military officials congratulated the holy Shang Dynasty together, shouting long live in unison, cheers resounded across the night sky . Zhang Xiaojing touched the scene and couldn’t help but think of the tragic and tragic battle of Fengsui Fort.
The enemy took advantage of the dark and attacked. The soldiers of the Eighth Regiment had stood by for 20 days. They were already tired and tired, but the reinforcements were late and they could only resist desperately. After repelling the enemy again and again, Ding Laosan proposed to Zhang Xiaojing to withdraw from Fengsui Fort and go to the nearest three regiments. Wen Wuji resolutely refused to retreat. He also talked with his brothers about the strange things about Chang’an City and encouraged him several times.
Morale, Xiao Gui raised his arms and shouted the slogan of the Eighth Regiment “Nine Deaths Without Regrets”, calling on the brothers to resolutely never retreat. Everyone immediately became excited and chanted slogans together. Ding Laosan took the opportunity to steal the little remaining dry food, Xiao Gui Angrily gave him a lesson.
The enemy found that the soldiers of the Eighth Regiment had run out of food and deliberately drank in a large bowl at the garrison and ate meat to tempt them. Xiao Gui asked Ding Laosan to attract the enemy, trying to use Fengsui Fort’s easy-to-defend and hard-to-attack terrain to destroy the enemy.
Army, he put Ding Laosan down the city wall, Ding Laosan led the enemy under the city wall, Zhang Xiaojing gave an order, the brothers opened their bows and arrows together, Xiao Gui shot the enemy’s crossbow first, Zhang Xiaojing Lamenting that his skills are not as good as others, but he firmly believes that he will never become an enemy with Xiao Gui.
The brothers and the enemy are in a desperate battle. The enemy has many casualties and can only hide in the base camp. Zhang Xiaojing and the soldiers are also dying of hunger. Zhang Xiaojing wants to go nearby. Fighting wolves to replenish everyone’s strength, but the lonely wolves have long been eaten by them, and there are only eye-catching wolves nearby. Ding Lao San wants to disarm and return to the field to see his parents. Zhang Xiaojing does not allow anyone from the eighth regiment to be a deserter.
When everyone was hungry and cold, Chen Xingfan, who was in charge of moving the rescuers, rushed back in time and brought a few bags of military rations to everyone. Zhang Xiaojing struggled to ask about the origin of the rations. Chen Xingfan didn’t want to explain, let the brothers eat for two days before talking, Zhang Xiaojing Send the fried millet to Xiao Gui who is protecting the flag at the head of the city. In order to appease the army, Chen Xingfan lied that Datang’s reinforcements would come soon.
Everyone immediately increased their confidence. Chen Xingfan asked his brothers to kill more than a dozen enemy troops every day , But if you want to pick up arrows before the two armies, you will be beaten into hedgehogs by the enemy, and everyone is desperate. Late that night, He Youlu saw a horse on the ground and wanted to steal it back to feed the brothers.
He quietly followed the rope down the tower, but was in an ambush by the enemy. Zhang Xiaojing watched He Youlu being killed by the enemy. Slinging and humiliating but powerless, Chen Xingfan had no choice but to admit that reinforcements would not come. He spent ten days walking through the five beacon towers in Kucha, where the Tang army had already withdrawn, and the grain fields of the army reclamation were barren. Can dig out surplus grain from the cellar and send it back to the brothers.
Zhang Xiaojing was immediately dumbfounded. The eighth regiment was the most elite unit of the Anxi Iron Army. Gai Jiayun personally sent them out. The court turned a deaf ear to their lives and deaths. Ding Laosan could not accept this reality. He suspected Chen Xingfan was a spy for the enemy. Chen Xingfan swore to the sky that he would not betray Datang. He killed the enemy spies on his way back. He learned from the spies that the enemy had sent 3000 reinforcements to Fengsui Fort in a short time to annihilate the eighth regiment here. Ding The third child suddenly became frustrated and sat slumped on the ground.
What Wen Wuji tells his brothers the most is the grand occasion of the Lantern Festival in Chang’an City. The people take their wives and children to the bustling Lantern Market to ease the hard work of a year and give the soldiers who died every year. The names are written on the lanterns to let the people commemorate them. The brothers also want to be heroes respected by thousands of people. Seeing the enemy soldiers crush the land, no one will remember their names even if they are martyred in their lives. Wen Wuji allowed the brothers to choose freely to go and stay.
Those who can leave must send Liu Zongqi back to his hometown, because Liu Zongqi is still young and cannot leave his parents alone on the festival. Ding Laosan asked Chen Xingfan and Nan Nuzi to escort Liu Zongqi back to his hometown to see his parents. He vowed to defend Fengsui Castle, and the brothers responded. After the war, Zhang Xiaojing and Wen Wuji returned to Chang’an. Zhang Xiaojing became a bad person in the suburbs of Chang’an. He often came to Wen Wuji’s house to help with work, and Wen Ran gradually became dependent on him.
