Volume 1 Chapter 430 Shen Wei Shows Off His Skills
The Nanzhao Kingdom's gathering of troops to attack this time was premeditated. In addition, they had rested and recuperated over the years, so their military strength was indeed strong.
Although the soldiers stationed at the border were all brave and daring, they were still no match for the brutal swords and knives, so they suffered heavy losses in the first round.
In addition, since the arrival of midwinter, the sky has been covered with flying snow. There is no reinforcement at the back and no food and grass supplies at the front. The body is already weak, and the cold weather has added to it. The hands and feet are all covered with thick frostbite. Although these are not painful or itchy, when frostbite is widespread, it will still make people feel very uncomfortable. They will also feel lacking strength when fighting.
First, both sides gathered 50,000 soldiers from each city and fought a desperate battle. In this war, many people were scratched by swords, and some people fell asleep forever on the short white snow in the dead of winter. The bright blood spilled on the white snow was particularly enchanting.
The bright red color stimulated the defenses in everyone's heart. When Chen Yin rushed over with his reinforcements, he saw the scene of soldiers shedding blood on the border and fighting hard against the enemy.
The scene was extremely bloody and cruel, but no one could do anything about it. As a general who led troops in battles all year round, he had seen such scenes all the time in the past ten years. It was only after returning to his family that he gradually gave up this life of swords and spears on the frontier.
But when I saw such a scene again, the familiar feeling came as expected. I was the first to pick up my own sword, ride my own warhorse, and lead the charge forward.
When I was here before, these people would not be in such a state of panic. I would make full preparations before every march and battle, and would never let any soldier's life be lost in vain on the battlefield.
But now, seeing these former comrades falling one by one on the white mist and snow, they looked so lifeless, like broken dolls. Some of them had lost their arms, some had lost their legs, some had blood gushing from their necks, and some had an arrow stuck in their hearts.
The blood and knife wounds on each person's body are enough to become a nightmare scene in people's dreams at midnight, but everyone knows that it is precisely because of the dedication of these frontier generals and soldiers who sacrificed their lives without complaint to defend their country that their loved ones and the people of their country can live a happier, more stable and stronger life.
But these soldiers are also flesh and blood people. They are the ones who rush to the front in every march and battle, so they are the first to be hurt. Especially those broken bodies once again broke the string in Shen Yin's mind.
Seeing Chen Yin rushing forward first, the other people from Xueluomen and Killer Pavilion were not willing to fall behind. They rushed forward from behind and began to replace those soldiers and fight together with them.
The only difference was that this time on the battlefield, there was a 14-year-old boy. Yes, that person was Shen Wei who was brought out for training.
Since Shen Wei has been endowed with special abilities since childhood, he and Shen Yue have been receiving various kinds of protection since childhood. They have never been to the battlefield or trained. Their hands have never been stained with blood, nor have they seen such a bloody scene.
But children sheltered under their parents' wings will eventually soar into the blue sky. No matter how much protection they have, they will eventually step out of the umbrella and live their own lives.
Today, as the eldest brother, Shen Wei stepped out of the circle protected by his parents for the first time and truly witnessed the cruelty, bloodiness and violence of the outside world for the first time.
Shen Wei, as the young master of various forces before, had always been well protected and had never seen such a bloody storm, so the 14-year-old boy had always had a sunny attitude before.
He always felt that the world was so bright and clean, and life was so happy and beautiful. He had never even seen any darkness in this world. But now, when he was suddenly thrown out of his comfort zone and asked to experience it, he really discovered that when he was alone facing disability or danger, he was so weak and helpless.
Shen Wei watched helplessly as the soldiers who were helping to defend the border fell one by one under the enemy's cavalry due to exhaustion.
At that moment, he felt a great challenge. He hated his own powerlessness and regretted his past self. Because he had always lived in the sunshine, he had always been content with just being able to make excuses for his hard work in martial arts.
He had never been so eager to become stronger as he was at this moment. Only when he became stronger could he protect himself and the people he wanted to protect.
He would not be so powerless. Chen Yin just glanced back at his son and never looked back. Since he had decided to bring him out to train and let him see the darkness of this world, there was no reason for him to keep protecting him.
A fledgling needs to learn to fly, and this journey is destined to be full of hardships and surprises. Since I decided to let go, I will no longer interfere in his life. Whether it is darkness or light, he must try, experience, and feel it by himself. Only in this way can he grow up quickly in the shortest time and take on the responsibilities he should shoulder.
Chen Yue, as a daughter, has been spoiled since she was a child. So, as the eldest brother, Shen Wei naturally has to bear the pain of his sister as well. Otherwise, when his sister is bullied in the future, how can he, as a brother, protect his own sister?
Shen Yin was in the front, blood-thirsty, while Shen Wei in the back, when he saw his father's iron-blooded character, suddenly, the desire to become stronger became extremely strong.
He had never admired his father as much as he did at that moment. His eyes became more and more determined. He picked up the crossbow in his hand and carefully recalled the techniques he had learned when practicing with the crossbow in the past.
After that, it was just aiming and firing, aiming and firing, aiming and firing non-stop. After each aiming and firing, there would always be an enemy falling down, but it never caused any more waves, and even his eyes were calm and lifeless.
