The dust in the desert is dim, and the red flag is half rolled out of Yuanmen.
The former army fought the Taohe River at night, and it has been reported that Tuguhun was captured alive.
This poem describes the joy of the frontier guards who went to the front line when they heard the news that the troops in front had won the first battle, and praised their heroic spirit of bravely killing the enemy and selflessly serving the country. This poem is ambitious and passionate, sweeping away the sad style of frontier poems.
From the description, the poet chose the follow-up troops that did not directly fight with the enemy, but only brought out the brilliant "night battle of the former army" from the side. This is an idea that breaks the rules. If you describe the night battle from the front, it will inevitably appear dull and cannot be completed in a short four-line poem. Now avoid describing the war process positively, and compare it from the side, which will turn the shortcomings of quatrains into advantages. Will make readers change from "The Night War"
We should understand how dramatic this expedition is from "we have reported that Tuguhun was captured alive". A fierce battle is not written on the top of our lungs, but with a light jumping pen, through side contrast and contact, let readers appreciate and daydream. All this is shown in four short poems, and it is even more difficult to conceive and drive away from language. It should be said that it is more difficult than a novel like Warm Wine Hua Xiong.
