in the edge

Chapter 40
Finding an open space to put down the bench, Du Chengfeng weighed the general flag in his hand.

The flagpole of this general flag is about eight feet long. The whole body is made of hardwood, with a spear point on the pole head. The old flag has frayed edges, and even the flying fire phoenix embroidered on the flag has faded away. up the color.

"so far so good."

Du Chengfeng was secretly grateful.

Although he didn't know how to maintain it as a textile flag, but at least it still had a spear point.

It would be nice to have a gun point, then this thing can be used for grinding.

So after pouring some water to moisten the whetstone, Du Chengfeng put down the entire flag and began to sharpen it.

As the saying goes, if the broken halberd sinks into the sand and the iron is not sold, it will be ground and washed to recognize the previous dynasty.

Wait a minute, Qianchao?
"Yo!"

Du Chengfeng couldn't help feeling shocked.

Why is there still a former general's flag in the arsenal of Jizhou? Doesn't Dudu Liu really want to rebel?

However, after continuing to polish, Du Chengfeng realized that the previous court was not the previous court.

Right now, it should be Da Chen Yichao. Du Chengfeng has already seen this memory from Fatty Yang's experience. Before Da Chen Yichao, he was called Dayu, which is the era when Fatty Yang lived—and this general flag is from a more distant time.

That was the dynasty before Dayu, known as Dachu.

Different from the currently popular military formations and city fortifications, during the Chu Dynasty, courage took precedence.Rather than taking their time to engage in battle with the enemy, the soldiers of Dachu were more willing to take the initiative to attack and destroy all enemy resistance with the force of a raging fire.

At that time, the brave general who was at the forefront of the charge was holding this Phoenix flag.

In the culture of Great Chu, the phoenix is ​​also known as the phoenix. As the saying goes, "the dynasty began in Tianjin, and the evening reaches the west. They all believed that under the guidance of the fire phoenix, they would not just die, and the immortal phoenix bird would guide their souls and take them soaring above the nine heavens.

Whenever the Phoenix Banner rushes into the enemy's line as a vanguard, all Chu soldiers will bravely fight to be the first, follow behind this phoenix, and kill all the enemies in front of them.

It is precisely because of this that all the generals who can hold the Phoenix Banner are fierce generals who can be as good as a thousand.

Waving the phoenix general flag, they will always rush to the forefront of the formation, using their inhuman courage to open the way for the soldiers behind them.And after these fierce generals get old, these phoenix battle flags, which symbolize the vanguard and fierce generals, will be passed on to the next most powerful fighter in the army, and then these new generation of pioneers will succeed the former veterans and continue to appear the most powerful on the battlefield. The dangerous place brought Da Chu victory after victory.

And under these victories again and again, the Chu generals who held the banners also had a fiery desire to conquer in their hearts.

At that time, Jizhou was not called Jizhou. In the Great Chu Dynasty, it was also called Yuyang, and Longyan, the Yuyang garrison captain at that time, was even more courageous than others, and he was the best in the three armies. , Such a fierce general must be able to make contributions in troubled times, but this Long Yan was unlucky enough to catch up with a peaceful era.

At that time, the Great Chu had settled down from the chaos of the war, and it was time to recuperate, and the captains and captains who led troops from all over the country were only used for defense and no longer fought abroad.This is naturally a good thing for the common people, but a fierce general like Long Yan who wants to expand the territory has no room for it for a while.

After all, there are no other forces in this world to attack. You can't just turn your troops around and fight yourself, right?
At this time, Long Yan's eyes turned to the grassland.

Yuyang is located on the northern border, so it is convenient to fight on the grassland. Although those grassland people have always lived by water and grass, there is no fixed town for him to attack, but as long as they fight all the way, is it not the same as expanding the territory?
If he really wanted to break the royal court of the grassland and capture Shan Yu alive, he might even be granted the honor of a general, an extremely human minister!

"kill!"

Thinking of this, Long Yan has already decided to let go.

The civilians were recruited and the army was prepared for war. As the leading captain, Long Yan mobilized almost all the forces that could be mobilized in Yuyang County.And those grassland people were indeed no match for the soldiers of the Chu army who were burning like a prairie fire. They were beaten so hard that they ran away like rats, fearing the Chu army like tigers.

However, at this time, the royal court of Mobei, hidden in the depths of the grassland, moved.

That was the most difficult battle that Long Yan fought, obviously he was already extremely brave, charging into battle like a tiger descending a mountain, but those cunning prairie cavalry did not confront him head-on at all, but directly bypassed his blade from a distance , bursting in from the flanks, slashing and killing every soldier behind him.

As the battle continued, the number of soldiers who could follow Long Yan became less and less.

In the end, only Long Yan was left.

It was at this time that Long Yan realized what a huge mistake he had made. He wanted to be like the phoenix on the flag and fly back to Yingdu, the capital of Chu, to tell the generals of the Chu army that the current situation was The tactics used by Chu had huge flaws - but it was already too late after all. Five lances had already pierced his body and pinned him to the ground.

And Yuyang County also fell.

As a trophy, the general flag was left in the former military camp of the grassland people. It was not until the Dayu Dynasty recovered the lost land of Yuyang and changed it to Jizhou that the general flag was put in Jizhou In the arsenal, it is piled up with other old weapons in case of emergency.

No one cares about this old general's flag. After all, without the pioneering general carrying the big flag, this flag is just an old rag.

It is precisely because of this that this old general flag has been sleeping in the arsenal, covered with dust.

"hiss……"

After finishing the polishing, Du Chengfeng frowned slightly.

No, there was something wrong with what I just felt. This old general flag was not sleeping forever. At least when he entered the arsenal just now, the fierce aura attached to this general flag...

"and many more?"

Du Chengfeng was suddenly taken aback.

Taking a look at the weapon racks beside him displaying knives, guns, swords and halberds, and at the general flag in his hand, Du Chengfeng already understood something.

The evil spirit he felt before did not come from this flag

It is the combination of all the evil spirits of all the swords, guns, swords and halberds in the No. [-] warehouse.

In other words, even though Long Yan, who used to hold the general flag, was killed in battle, the general flag itself never gave up.

It also wants to gather troops and horses for another battle.

Just like when we charged into battle.
