Chapter 60 A Hero's Life (Third Update)
Taking advantage of these two days' rest, Fang Cheng began to watch various war movies to further deepen his impression of war.
War in the narrow sense is a dispute between countries with the country as the main body and arising out of interests.
War may or may not require a reason. However, the impact of an unreasonable war will take hundreds of years to be eliminated, and it is very likely that the other party will fight back in the name of revenge.
War in the broad sense is more extensive. Business wars, personal struggles against fate, civil wars... these are all considered a form of war.
There are many entry points for war, such as civilians, soldiers, generals, counselors...
brave men, demon kings, magicians...
normal people, superpowers, anti-superpowers...
There are countless film and television works about war, and war in a broad sense Count it in, and it's more.
In addition, war is also an important theme in games. From real-time strategy to battle flags, from role-playing to civilization simulation, war is an important branch of games.
After watching it for a long time, Fang Cheng still didn't quite understand the fun of war.
A palm thunder came down...
Patting his head, he asked himself to get out of the fairy's thinking mode and didn't want to use palm thunder to solve everything.
After all, the confrontation with Sun Jue in the morning had proved that a battle that was too crushing was boring, so it was better to have an evenly matched battle or even a slightly weaker battle.
And it’s best to have a prototype, which should be a character in the country’s history. This way the game will be more realistic.
After figuring out how to start, Fang Cheng walked out of the room into the void of the universe, and then walked toward the distance.
With each step he took, he crossed more than ten light years, and finally caught up with the light from thousands of years ago, and saw the image of the earth from thousands of years ago.
Light travels at the speed of light in the universe, so as long as you go to a location a thousand light years away, you can catch the glimmer of history and see the image of a thousand years ago.
Fang Cheng thought this was quite simple, but for some reason, his classmates back then couldn't learn it.
Constantly moving forward or backward in the light composed of time, Fang Cheng carefully watched the characters in the light and finally selected a character.
A character who is so inconspicuous in history that he has not even been recorded.
After all, there were too many people like him in that era.
He lived more than 1,100 years ago, during the last years of the dynasty. The land of the dynasty was cut off from the middle by foreign tribes, and a large piece of land flowed to the west.
Because of the lack of transportation in ancient times, many people of the dynasty never even set foot on their homeland in their entire lives. They could only remember the glory of the dynasty in this isolated land.
And this person was born here.
He is of Han ancestry. His home here was invaded by foreigners very early, and he was also used as a slave.
The aliens' rule was simple and crude. A group of people were thrown directly into the desolate Gobi to farm and dig wells. Whenever the crops were harvested, the aliens would come here and steal the food, leaving only the necessary rations for them.
If the quota is not reached, the children will be taken away as slaves in the city. These people often have a narrow escape, and most of them will die just after arriving in the foreign city.
Although the protagonist who was born here has not been able to set foot on the land of the dynasty, and even his parents were born here, he only knows that the great eastern country is his hometown and home through oral transmission from his ancestors.
There, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the generals guard all directions.
There, the children can wear warm clothes and have enough to eat every day. The water in the city can be drawn directly from the river. The water in the well is clear and sweet, without any bitterness.
The crops in the fields are harvested twice a year. The officers and soldiers are kind and pay a certain amount of rations every year, and the rest is their own.
Once a disaster strikes, the court will even allocate funds for disaster relief. Unlike here, it doesn't care about their life or death at all. Every time he talks about this, his parents will tell him: "We are not slaves, we have our own names. We are Han people, and we have our own family."
Although he is young, the protagonist has a desire to return very early, I hope to return to my hometown, Datang.
However, a young slave cannot make any trouble. If nothing happens, he will be squeezed out of his last value here like everyone else and then die here.
But something unexpected happened.
A wounded soldier appears and faints at the door of his house. The frightened protagonist hurriedly takes the soldier home and hides him.
That night, foreign soldiers searched the place.
Outside the house, the sound of hurried footsteps and curses could be heard endlessly, and the firelight outside the window swayed, scaring people so much that they even forgot to breathe.
Fortunately, his hiding place was left behind by his parents. The terrain there is hidden, and if you don't know the location, you won't be able to find it.
After the alien soldiers left, he took the soldiers out.
The soldier's injuries were not serious. He was just separated from the main army and lost his way in the Gobi. In the end, he was tired and thirsty and passed out here.
The alien soldiers didn't seem to be looking for this soldier, because they didn't even know that the soldier had been there.
As for the purpose of the soldiers, he does not tell the protagonist.
After the soldier rested, he began to teach the protagonist how to read and teach martial arts.
When he gets tired at night, he will tell the protagonist all kinds of knowledge and tell him what is there in the Tang Dynasty further away.
On the other side, the protagonist learns literacy, arithmetic, how to draw a bow and shoot arrows, how to block with a shield and then find the opponent's weakness to kill him with a sword.
After the soldiers recovered, the soldiers told the protagonist the approximate location of their stronghold, and warned:
"When you grow old enough and are strong enough, you can shoot down the birds in the sky with arrows and cut open the fallen leaves with a gun. You can go to the stronghold and join us. Now, I have to go. If I fail to come back, please go to my stronghold and tie this strand of hair to the tamarisk in front of the stronghold. If you get through the way home Take the hair of me and my companions back to the Tang Dynasty along the way."
After that, he pulled off his own hair, handed the lock of hair to the protagonist, and then embarked on a fatal journey.
The legend belonging to the protagonist will officially begin three years later.
After quickly reading the protagonist's life, Fang Cheng was a little touched.
The other person's life contains setbacks and emotions, victories and failures.
He even relied on the city wall to resist the siege of hundreds of foreigners with only one gun and one bow.
He also almost died on the grassland due to malaria, vomiting and diarrhea.
He fought hundreds of battles in his life, suffered countless scars all over his body, and narrowly escaped death.
It was not until his death that he brought the hair of his comrades to Chang'an, and died of illness a year later in the place he cherished.
There was little enjoyment in his life, only war and the next war.
He is a hero and his story should be told.
Stretching out his hand, Fang Cheng intercepted the light recording the other person's life.
The next step is to pass on the light.
Sorry, it's a little late, I fixed some typos.
