The first song of the opening is "The Qin King's Battle Music" reappears!
As the opening piece, the most suitable one is undoubtedly "Qin Wang Po Zhen Yue".
And it's the complete version!
This time, it's not just the Pipa.
There are also others playing instruments like the Konghou, Guzheng, and Shakuhachi.
There is also a very important, indispensable instrument, which is the drum.
Since it's a war song, drums are essential!
The music is led by North Dust.
Not only that, but 128 people wearing tang dynasty military uniforms appeared on the stage, then knelt on one knee, holding halberds.
These 128 people are not musicians or dancers, but real soldiers.
Standing directly in front of them is Nan Ye, holding a flag and wearing general's attire.
The dance is led by Nan Ye.
The audience below quickly became interested:
[What... What is Great Xia Country doing? Why are there people in ancient military uniforms on stage?]
[Are these people here to accompany the dance? But the clothing doesn't look like it?]
[Does anyone know what Great Xia Country wants to do?]
[...]
Roge, the leader of United States, tapped the armrest of his chair with his hand, his eyes filled with disdain.
"These Daxia people don't have figures like the three music godfathers of my United States.
They can only come up with these flashy things."
Ono Kazuo, the leader of Little Japan, also sneered:
"Have these Daxia people exhausted their tricks?
Music performance actually requires accompanying dancers!
It's absolutely laughable!"
Zheng Da Wan, the leader of Big Stick Country, also fanned the flames:
"Daxia people are really terrible!
If I had known this, we might as well have invited our country's girl group to dance for everyone!
They are a girl group that is popular all over the world after all!"
...
Regarding their gossip, Dai Tianxiong, who was standing beside them, didn't say anything.
He couldn't be bothered to say anything!
Take this time to show off, in a while, I'm afraid you won't even be able to catch your breath.
"Dong... dong dong..."
The deafening drum sound rang out!
The big drum shook the heavens,
The small drums were like a million troops.
In ancient times, drumming was meant to boost morale, inspire soldiers to kill the enemy, and command soldiers to advance or retreat.
It was from this point that Nan Ye waved the flag in his hand.
These 128 people instantly stood up, their movements perfectly synchronized.
Coupled with the synchronized sound of their halberds hitting the ground, and the inherent majesty of soldiers.
The entire aura instantly manifested.
Grand and majestic, with a force that could destroy everything, it surged towards the audience below.
It gave them the illusion that war had truly arrived.
Although there were only 128 people, they were like a thousand armies and ten thousand horses, their aura swallowing up everything like tigers!
At this moment, North Dust's Pipa sound followed.
As soon as it appeared, it was explosive, the Pipa sound alone was like a cavalry of tens of thousands of people, charging head-on.
The other instruments were like archers firing tens of thousands of crossbow bolts simultaneously.
Piercing directly into the hearts of the audience below.
Not only that, but Nan Ye simultaneously waved the battle flag in his hand.
These 128 soldiers quickly changed formation, forming the shapes of Left Circle, Right Square, First Flank, Rear Rank, Fish Scale, Goose Column, Winnowing Basket Spread, and Wing Unfold.
This is a battle formation!
They intertwined, advanced and retreated, their heads and tails interchanged, attacking back and forth, extremely fierce.
Coupled with this magnificent music.
The audience seemed to see the scene of battle flags fluttering, bugle calls sounding, and ten thousand horses galloping in ancient times.
It was as if an ancient army appeared before their eyes, like a winding dragon, devouring all enemies.
Roge's fingers stopped tapping unconsciously.
The disdain in his eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by apprehension and astonishment.
"I was wrong, this is not something flashy.
This is a battle song!
I didn't expect that for this exchange meeting, the Daxia people would bring out a battle song that has been sealed for thousands of years.
I underestimated them!"
...
The contempt in Ono Kazuo's eyes also disappeared.
It was replaced by disbelief:
"Isn't this "Qin Wang Po Zhen Yue"?
It doesn't make sense!
Shouldn't it be an incomplete piece?
Isn't it only recorded in our country's "Five-String Pipa Score"?
Where did Great Xia get the new score?
But this new piece actually gives me a feeling of completeness and shock.
Could it be that this is the real "Qin Wang Po Zhen Yue"?"
...
Zheng Da Wan was originally having fun, but as the battle formation changed, he almost bit off his tongue.
He thought these people were just like the girl groups in their country, wiggling their waists.
He never expected that they would arrange ancient battle formations.
Zheng Da Wan knew that Big Stick Country had been defeated by Great Xia before, but they were unwilling to admit it.
He had researched history:
In the fifth year of Yonghui (654 AD), Angu led the Goguryeo army to attack Khitan in alliance with Mohe.
Li Kugge, the Songmo Governor of the tang dynasty, decisively defeated them in Xin City.
In the sixth year of Yonghui (655 AD), Goguryeo, Baekje, and Mohe again allied to invade Silla.
King Kim Chunchu of Silla sent envoys to the tang dynasty for help.
Gaozong ordered Cheng Mingzhen, the Yingzhou Governor, and Su Dingfang, the Left Guard Zhonglang General, to lead troops to defeat Goguryeo...
Goguryeo was defeated not once or twice, and had always been a tributary state of the tang dynasty.
However, Big Stick Country has always regarded Goguryeo as their ancestor.
This is equivalent to saying that they were once defeated.
They were defeated under these battle formations.
Although Zheng Da Wan thought this way.
But unfortunately, Goguryeo is actually not the ancestor of Big Stick Country.
Goguryeo has always been one of the local regimes in the Northeast of Great Xia Country.
Everything is just self-deception...
...
Following the rhythm of the music, the soldiers' formations constantly changed.
Finally, counting them, there were a full 12 battle formations!
Coupled with Great Xia's unique instrument, the Shakuhachi.
Deep and subtle, desolate and vast.
The entire piece instantly gained a suffocating killing intent.
Just as Dai Tianxiong thought, Roge, Ono Kazuo, Zheng Da Wan, and others began to feel a little suffocated.
Not unable to breathe, but daring not to breathe!
It was as if a large knife was already held at their necks.
Ready to fall at any moment.
It can be said that this is a perfect war song.
Making all enemies tremble with fear!
Even more unexpectedly, this piece not only carries enough killing intent, but also has a tender, flowing quality.
At this moment, a female vocal chant appeared.
Chanting is often added to instrumental music.
It not only doesn't destroy the beauty, but can also make the piece more rounded.
This section of chanting clearly achieved this, and brought it to the extreme.
It made the audience below get goosebumps all over.
All those scenes of war instantly disappeared.
What remained was a scene of devastation, corpses strewn everywhere, broken walls and ruins.
It was the instant separation of loved ones, family, and friends by death, without even a chance to look back.
It was all glory returning to silence.
This is the second part of this piece, like "Croatia Rhapsody", it denounces the pain brought by war.
It was this kind of transformation that instantly added a lot of points to this piece.
Because it was no longer just a war song full of killing intent.
But had its own soul.
The third part also followed...
...
