Qu Yuan, the author of "National Sorrow"? Dynasty pre-Qin Dynasty
When Wu Gexi was attacked by a rhinoceros armor, his chariot's hub was wrong and he was caught in close combat.
The enemy is like a cloud that blocks the sun, and the arrows are falling and the soldiers are fighting for the lead.
Lingyu formation is still walking, and the left side is injured by the right blade.
The two wheels of haze are coming, and the four horses are riding, and the jade is coming to help, and the drums are beating.
The sky is full of anger and powerful spirits, killing them all and abandoning the wilderness.
You can’t go in and out, but you can’t go in the opposite direction, and the plain suddenly turns out to be too long.
Bringing a long sword and holding a Qin bow, his head and body are separated and his heart is not punished.
Sincerity is both brave and martial, and ultimately strong and invincible.
Since the body is dead, the spirit is the spirit, and the soul is resolute and is the ghost.
Vernacular translation:
The warriors hold Wu Ge and wear rhinoceros armor, and the enemy's and our chariots interlock with each other with swords.
The flags cover the sky and the sun, and the enemies are like clouds. The flying arrows fall and the soldiers fight bravely to be the first.
The enemy invaded our ranks, and the horse on the left died and the horse on the right was stabbed.
The two wheels of the chariot were deeply stuck and the four horses were trapped. The commander raised his drumstick and beat the war drum hard.
The gods were so angry that the whole army died in the vast wilderness.
Soldiers, once you leave, you will never return. The journey to the confusing plain is long.
Wear a long sword and a strong bow to fight on the battlefield, and your ambition will never give up.
Truly brave, tenacious and heroic, always strong and resolute and cannot be insulted.
Although people die, the gods will not fade away after all. Your soul is worthy of being a hero among ghosts!
