"Don't forget! If the prince is defeated, all of us will suffer a fate worse than death!
Would you all rather be cowards who are afraid of death than help the prince? "
Nanny Chang’s words were deafening.
"Besides, the prince is a brave warrior! If he wins this battle, all of you servants who escaped will die!"
Nanny Chang's words were threatening, completely cutting off those who were interested in the matter and forcing them to accept the arrangement.
"You don't have to think that the princess is unkind. Not only you, but also the second and fourth young ladies in the mansion will go together!"
Nanny Chang wanted to intimidate them, and now they couldn't say a word of resistance.
Unexpectedly, Miss Qiao Er and Miss Qiao Si would also go.
They are really different from the dignitaries that Zhang You knows.
Although Zhang You didn't want to go to the front line at first, it wasn't because she was afraid of death, but...
She has post-traumatic stress disorder, she can't stand that kind of scene...
But now, at the critical moment of life and death, she had no choice but to go ahead.
"Don't just stand there, pack up your things and go help carry the food!"
Everyone around started moving, doing their own thing in an orderly manner.
The sky gradually brightened.
On the first day of the new year, facing the rising sun, it should have been a joyous new year, but Zhang You and his friends embarked on a road where their life and death were uncertain.
On winter mornings, even the ground was cold and frozen hard.
This is Zhang You’s first time out of the city.
Go out of the north gate and walk along the small path.
There is a sparse forest on the undulating hills.
There is snow hanging here that hasn't melted in the past few days.
The roots of the dead grass were also frozen, and it made a squeaking sound when stepped on.
The line was surprisingly quiet.
No one had the interest to gossip as before in the mansion.
Everyone felt extremely heavy in their hearts when they thought about the uncertain life and death.
"Who says I have no clothes? I share my clothes with you.
When the king raises his army, I will sharpen my spear and sword to share your hatred!
Who says I have no clothes? I will share the same water with you.
When the king is about to raise an army, I will sharpen my spears and halberds and fight with you!
Who says I have no clothes? I share my clothes with you.
When the king raises his army, I will prepare my armor and weapons and go with you!
A majestic female singing voice came from a carriage in the distance.
That was the carriage of Miss Qiao Er and Miss Qiao Si.
The singing did not stop, one time after another.
Gradually, more and more people sang along.
At the end, everyone was singing.
Everyone's initial timidity and heaviness turned into unity and enthusiasm.
Singing all the way, all the fears are left behind.
Everyone has only one goal, which is to provide support to the best of their ability.
The place they were going to support was Zero Village, a small village behind the front-line town.
Ling Village is only a hundred miles away from the town. From here, you can still see the black smoke rising from there.
When they walked into Zero Village, they were all shocked.
There are too many casualties.
Not only the soldiers who were attacked, but also the people who originally lived in the city and were unwilling to leave.
They stayed up all night, watching over New Year's Eve, hoping that peace and prosperity would come soon.
But before they could receive the New Year's blessings, their homes were attacked and shattered at the first sound of the New Year's gong.
The prince immediately led his troops to the scene upon receiving the news, but within an hour, the soldiers left behind in the city still suffered heavy casualties.
They defended to the death, blocking the city gate with their bodies to buy time for the people to escape.
Finally, King Dingbei arrived with his troops.
The prince repelled the enemy troops that were about to occupy the frontline town and reached a stalemate with them at the city wall.
Those who were seriously injured and those who fled on the road were also escorted to Ling Village by troops sent by the prince.
So, when Zhang You and the others arrived, they saw a group of people like this.
Zero Village is very simple.
There are earthen houses scattered around in a disorderly manner.
There was still some snow on the top of the thatch that had not melted.
Soldiers who were not too seriously injured walked in groups of three or four, supporting each other.
There were also people fleeing with their families and children.
Even more were soldiers who were injured and missing limbs and were carried to makeshift sheds.
They lay there, groaning helplessly.
Three or two military doctors were busy treating their injuries.
But in ancient times, in such a bitterly cold place, such injuries would mean waiting for death in vain.
There's no way to save it...
They cannot escape their inevitable death...
When Zhang You saw this bloody scene, his body stiffened uncontrollably, as if all the blood in his body had stagnated.
Her palms were cold and the slight pain in her wrists made her almost unable to move.
There are dying people all around.
Some may have lost half their heads, their bodies covered in blood, their faces stained with gore; some may have their flesh and blood flying everywhere, their blood flowing uncontrollably; some may still struggle while dragging their broken arms and legs...
Zhang You seemed to be trapped in a world full of blood, with blood covering his entire vision.
What she saw was incompleteness, brokenness, and bright red; what she smelled was blood, burning, and corruption.
"Ahh, that hurts."
"Save me, save me."
"Help! Help!"
"Ahhhhhhhh, Mom, it hurts so much."
"Doctor, doctor, save me."
…
The noisy voices made my head hurt.
"vomit--"
Cuihua was a few meters ahead of Zhang You. Irritated by the smell of blood mixed with the smell of medicine, she ran to the side and vomited wildly.
“That’s disgusting.”
