The Snowy Path of the Heroic Blade Chapter 202: How can we not fall to the head when the wind blows (Part 2)
Xu Fengnian’s existence is like a reef in a river. Although it has stirred up huge waves, it cannot stop the castration of the turbulent torrent.
On the battlefield in the north of Hutou City, the cavalry on the two wings of the phalanx of pawns, with their adept archery skills, have carried out several rounds of projectile suppression on the city’s head. Shield, the archer in the back row also braved the city’s arrow rain to launch the first upward shot. During the shield and archer’s offensive and defensive period, those ladders and opponents were suddenly added in the gap between the squares, and the latter attracted more Beiliang. When the bow and crossbow were paying attention, the archers under the cover of the shields kept shooting upside down, and there was also Beimangjian, who served as the dead soldier, began to run wildly, without wearing heavy iron armor, only wearing lighter leather armor, holding it in one hand. With a shield and a reckless knife in one hand, these dead soldiers who kept their energy and vigor during the advancement of the phalanx began to charge after more than one hundred and fifty steps from the head of the city. They will act as the bloodiest role in the history of war. , Attached to ants, people are like ants clinging to city walls.
Almost at the same time, hundreds of ladders that were nearly raised high by the soldiers of the North Mang were erected in the gaps of the battlements, and those more than ten towering opposite buildings almost as high as the city head, as the name suggests, they formed after they stopped. The pattern of confrontation with the city, at this time, is also like showing a hideous face. The thick cowhide which is known as the cover of the face by the survivors of the Northern Mang and Southern Dynasties in the Spring and Autumn Period, suddenly tore off, and the archers hidden in the building are all gods on the grassland. The archer, compared to the previous archer who was behind the shield and created the rain curtain of arrows, is far better than the archer, in order to maximize the damage to the defenders of Tiger Head City who can hide in the dead corner of the attack.
Between the opposite buildings, the ladder with a hook nailed to the top is like that tarsus maggot, biting the body of the giant in the northwestern border of Hutou City. At the same time, the ordinary soldiers who were the first to push the ladder began to lift their shields. The shields in their hands were smaller than those of the shield soldiers, and stronger than the dead soldiers who had already rushed to the city with them. These The duty of the soldiers is to clear the way for the dead behind them. They don't expect them to be able to ascend to the top of the city at all, so they simply don't hold weapons at all. They are simply trading flesh and blood or even their lives in exchange for that little bit of siege height.
In the distance, Dong Zhuo did not know when there was a team of elite cavalry around Dong Zhuo. The iron armor was particularly bright, but it was not the flashy embroidered pillow. He had a large bow and a light crossbow with a war knife, and the saddle side was even suspended. There is an iron spear, and it is the elite guard that the surname of Yelu Murong, the king of Beimang, is qualified to be equipped with, Xue Tiewei. Beimang's only heavy cavalry army that has never been seen in the world is always selected from the guards of Yu Xue, which completely shows that Beimang's extraordinary reliance on this army.
Two hundred timid Xue Qijun guards a pair of young men and women. The man is wearing a light yellow python suit. He is naturally rough, but he seems to be a little sick, his face is pale, sitting on the back of a sweaty horse, bending slightly. , Seemingly bound. On the contrary, the graceful and generous woman next to him appeared to be more adapted to the atmosphere on the battlefield than her own man. She always squinted her eyes towards the head of the city, and occasionally retracted her gaze to look at the figure that was constantly breaking through and getting closer, revealing a profound expression. With a gloomy atmosphere, the Chess and Sword Yuefu where she was located, except for Taipingling, still served as the emperor. Hong Jingyan fought at the mouth of the gourd, and the other big names, the bronze master was missing, the Da Yuefu was killed in battle, and the sword spirit was close to Huang Qing. NS. Therefore, as the two-character Chess and Sword Yuefu brand name, she won the championship with "Han Gu", and the princess Beimang, who has always been considered to be graceful and graceful, would almost force her man to rush here. She hopes to see the one that can make her own. The culprit for the collapse of the sect in half.
Prince Beimang Yeluhong said in a low voice: "Great King of the South Court, that guy is still coming to break the formation, shall we withdraw later?"
Dong Zhuo smiled and said nothing. Fatty Dong’s wife, Fifth Fox, frowned. I used to hear from the woman in the family who always competed with her for the title of the eldest woman. Yelvhong just seemed to be scared when she was a child. However, now it looks like the first emperor seven or eight points, but the courage is really lacking, and even fainted, every time she follows Her Majesty, she can only rely on the prey captured by her guard, Qi Xue. Pass. The Fifth Fox quickly relieved that if Yeluhong was as talented as his father, he would have died as early as many dragon sons and grandsons surnamed Yelu.
Yelü Hongcai also realized that his proposal was a bit unsuitable, so he quickly found a step for himself, pretending to be calm and said: "The King of the South Court, let's wait for the **** of war, the king of Northern Liang The deeper the burst, the greater the effort will be spent. If our position is too high, wouldn’t the Xu’s surname immediately have to hit the wall? By then Xu’s suffered a lot, and the result was huddled in the tiger’s head. If the city doesn’t come out, isn’t it a major event that broke the Great King of the South Campus?"
Dong Zhuo finally turned his head slowly, facing this burly man with the most honorable status in Beimang, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness said that it is very true, and he is well versed in the art of war to lure the enemy deeper. Do. Five hundred steps back, how about?"
Yelühong said softly: "Will the eight hundred steps be more secure?"
Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "Your Highness says whatever you want."
The Dong family's pro-army and the prince's coward Xue Tiewei began to retreat, and the top masters and Chuangzi crossbow formations who concealed their Qi were also moved. Yeluhong suddenly smiled, and even his waist straightened up a little bit. I don’t know whether the prince, who was like a puppet in the Royal Court of the North Mang, was fortunate that he was out of danger, or he was enjoying the kind of being brought by Dong Fatty’s respect. Great sense of accomplishment. Yeluhong turned his horse back and was about to spur the horse vigorously. Suddenly he heard Dong Zhuo coughing a few times around him. The inexplicable His Royal Highness was staring at the Nanyuan Great King with a look of confusion. Fatty Dong quietly left his chin. Yeluhong only realized that his daughter-in-law was still standing there, and had no intention to retreat with him. The Prince Beimang, who had hardly any deeds in the Liyang Dynasty, sighed softly and motioned to his subordinate Xue Tiewei to continue. OK, turning the horse's head alone, and after coming to her, he asked softly: "What's the matter?"
She picked up her whip, pointed towards Tiger Head City, and said coldly: "On that battlefield, my tens of thousands of men are going to die."
Yelühong stretched out his hand and rubbed his chin, nodded and said: "Yes, Beiliang does dare to fight, but I have never been afraid of death in the grassland."
She slowly turned her head and looked at the man who had been sharing the bed but dreaming for many years. Her eyes were full of complex meanings of anger and misfortune. At the same time, her long autumnal eyes seemed to be asking This man who is the future master of the grassland: The grassland Erlang is not afraid of death, and even the King of Beiliang dared to get himself in battle. What about you Yeluhong?
Yelü Hongcai didn't seem to dare to face the princess, bowed his head and said: "Let's go."
She put down her horse whip and sneered: "If it is enough to go back eight hundred steps, I should go back to Xijing directly."
She turned her horse's head and took the lead to ride north to Juechen. Yeluhong looked at her back, her lips moved slightly, and finally there was no sound.
Behind the couple, further south in the separate figure, on the other side of Tiger Head City, the battle is raging.
The fortified city defense line in Hutou City is unparalleled in the world, which is the boundary between Yin and Yang.
On the line of defense in the north, the city wall is five and a half feet high, and the upper part of the fill is sealed with a mortar mixed with tung oil, glutinous rice and lime. This part alone can be as high as more than ten feet, and seven layers of bricks are added. Above the city wall, apart from the main arrow tower above the main city gate, there are twelve piers and eight large crossbow towers. There are also two turrets in the east and west sections. The castellated female walls faced each other, and there were more than two thousand arrow stacks in Hutou City for archery and lookout. This city was located in the northwestern part of the Liyang Dynasty, and even every brick had a seal. Clearly mark the name of the kiln factory and the craftsman's household in order to prevent misconduct by the craftsman. And in the north direction of Hutou City, the triple city gate, the main gate, the arrow tower and the gate tower are subdivided. Hutou City Lord Liu Jinu stood on the top floor of the tallest arrow tower and looked down at the whole situation.
Because Hong Jia, who brought many scholars and craftsmen to Beimang, went to the north. In the history of war, there has never been a nomadic raid from the south and the lower reaches of the north. The native dynasty of the Central Plains was eclipsed. More importantly, Bei Mang has never taken the initiative to abandon his horse so firmly, and he is still so fearless after dismounting to fight. Hutou City claims to have the richest and most complete reserves of Liyang, and it is the largest weapons storage area in Beiliang, but in less than two months of defense, more than 4,000 crossbows have been damaged. Half of them were destroyed, and more than 20 winches were destroyed, so that Hutou City had to be replaced with bricks and mortars with reduced power.
Beimang was killed or injured by more than a thousand dead soldiers who climbed up the building by a hundred ladders. Although there were more than ten dead soldiers who climbed up to the top of the city during the period, they still failed to gain a firm foothold. The dead body and those wounded who were too late to be dragged out of the battlefield. The former was silent, while the latter wailed. Their casualties, in addition to the arrows pouring down from the top of their heads, may also be a country's boiling oil, one by one. , Even a racket similar to a naval ship battle, one shot can make a ladder instantly collapse, and the strong and robust soldiers of Beimang who are attached to the ladder are as fragile as a mosquito and were slapped to death on the city wall with a slap. Above.
Compared with the generosity of the dead soldiers on the ladder, the giant archers outside the city in the building of the Beimang archers caused an insignificant damage to the defenders of Hutou City. The Northern Mang soldiers who do not pay the price of reducing the weight of the heavy armor are stronger and stronger. The previous Northern Mang two-wing cavalry and the archers behind the shields looked dense, but unless they were hitting the vital points, they were not very good. Can cause real war damage. But Beimang can almost be called a face-to-face close-range flat shooting, especially in the case of everyone's archer, each of the tiger head city defenders was shot through the throat and through the eye sockets, and even many Beiliang The soldiers penetrated even the armor on the spot.
The ladders in the pawn's phalanx are constantly standing on the top of the city. After more than a thousand light armored dead men took their lives to open the way for the rear to win time, Beimang will not give Tiger Head City the slightest chance to breathe. Soon, Beimang Lishi, with an iron helmet and chain mail, began to brazenly ascend the building. If the first group of dead men were all the agile Beimang steppers, then this group of particularly strong steppers could almost be said. Just change the battlefield and put on heavy armor in the true sense, which can be comparable to the Central Plains heavy infantry that almost once buried the cavalry in history.
The ascent of these powerful warriors, even the arrows shot down from the top of the city close at hand, only stopped them from lifting their shields. Occasionally, Beiliang’s amazing archers shot through with an arrow. Shields and sharp arrows are nailed directly into the arms, and they will never shrink back. Just as the eardrums were smashed, the shield that was covered by a man of the North Mangdeng Tower had been nailed with four or five arrows. He was in his prime of life. He was a man from a small tribe on the northern grassland. For him There is no royal court or Aquarius state. This time I apply for the army to go south. I just want to save enough military service during the winter this year, so that his son who is raising his height can eat enough meat and follow the trend to follow his own household registration. I hope that his son will be able to walk out of the turbulent grassland in the future and have the opportunity to take a trip to Liyang Central Plains on his behalf. As for himself, he does not expect to be able to leave the battlefield alive. This tiger’s head city is too hard to shake. The rumors when he enlisted in the army were quite different, but he was not annoyed by being deceived, and he died in battle. That pension was enough to make his son grow up, and let his son grow into a prairie man who did not lose himself.
From the corner of his eyes, a strong man wearing an iron armor and a shield on his head saw an opposing building being heavily photographed by the city’s head. Generally, it is integrated with the opposite building. He breathed heavily, gritted his teeth and continued to climb up, and then he left the ladder in an instant. Not only him, but also the three or four strong men behind him also ended up unparalleled. He suddenly felt ashamed. In the next moment, he and several Beimanglishi's backs hit the city wall near the ladder almost at the same time, like a string of poor grasshoppers strung by a rope, and fell into pieces. He stubbornly held the shield and raised his arm to cover his head. As expected, a light crossbow shot down from the top of the city in the next moment. Having escaped for a while, he knew that the real danger was yet to come. The flying owls of the Northern Liang garrison were hooked into the armor. This kind of special equipment used to deal with the great warriors is a seven-foot-long iron. On the chain, there are sharp flying hooks nailed every three feet on the iron chain. Once the ladder soldier is hooked, he will be involuntary and will soon be dragged up. They are greeted by spears. . He has seen many great men die tragically under this flying owl. If it is this time to remove the armor in a hurry and attempt to escape from the city, it is simply unrealistic. He who was suspended at the top of the chain bowed his head and roared: "Hold the sword! "
This iron-chain flying owl was pulled back by the several Northern Liangjian soldiers in the city, and the iron armors of the four Northern Manglishers rubbed against the wall and made a sneer. The first of the four to "climb" the city head in this embarrassing manner, his mind was almost blank, and he turned and turned to face the city head by instinct. After he was pulled out of the city wall, he held a shield in front of him, and the shield was instantly He was hit by a spear and hit his chest heavily, but just after he tried to slap a knife indiscriminately, on the head of the city, a guard with a strange straight-handled sword from Beiliang hit his head with blood. Splashed and killed on the spot. As for the three powerful men who dragged the 6 into the city after his death, either died under this kind of axe, or died under a spear, the body was pulled from the flying owl, pushed down the city wall at will, and then the flying owl Throw the city head again.
On the front of Tiger Head City, one side is attached to the ants and the other side kills the ants. It is true that the lives of both sides are like ants.
Xu Fengnian, who was deeply trapped in the enemy's hinterland, continued to move forward, like a broken bamboo.
Invincible, there is no one enemy. However, Xu Fengnian clearly felt a few clusters of strong auras coveting and moving quietly with his body. These people are undoubtedly Beimang martial arts masters waiting for opportunities. Most of them are in the realm of junior masters, and they are hidden even two hundred steps away. There are two top masters, one is King Kong and the other is Zhixuan. Xu Fengnian went straight all the way, killing people without any fancy moves. Most of the gun fairy king embroidered the four-character arc two-character spear technique in the four-character tactics, especially the arc gun. , Where the arc gun style came, mixed with the collapsed word Jue Qi machine, no one survived within two feet of Xu Fengnian's side.
However, Xu Fengnian, who was driving straight forward, was not at all proud. Instead, his mind became heavier and heavier. He went straight to the banner of Dong Zhuo. Everyone knows the characters that can really block his footsteps. There are only those martial arts masters, not ordinary soldiers. Meaning, but the advancement of Beimang's **** phalanx was meticulous and unchanged.
In the history of the large-scale invasion of the grassland knights, most of them bypassed the dangerous pass and the big town of Xiongcheng. In the true sense of the battle, the nomads on horseback are not good at it, and the gains outweigh the losses. Instead of slamming on the border with the solid defenders of the city, it is better to go around the city, in the hinterland where the small walls of the city are low and morale is sluggish. Wandering wildly. Although Xu Fengnian knew early on that Beimang was the result of the bad policy and was the first to use Beiliang to perform the operation, it was a last resort, but in the bad policy, Dong Zhuo and Taipingling were obviously also ambitious and wanted to use Beiliang’s 300,000 frontier army as a grinder. Dao Shi, this is just like Xu Fengnian's use of Tuoba Bodhisattva to gain momentum not long ago. Once Beiliang is lost, Beimang, who seems to have suffered heavy casualties, can win the most precious momentum, just as the Xujia cavalry defeated the Western Chu and settled the trip at Xilibi, and then fought Xishu and Nantang, but it was just clearing up the mess. It's just icing on the cake. The key point that made Xu Fengnian feel heavier was that Beimang was originally driven by Dong Zhuotaiping to make a few people have this ambition, but with the fierce battle on the two battlefields of Hutoucheng and Hulukou, the soldiers of Beimang have begun to quickly abandon their horses and fight. Xu Fengnian brought Youqi to fight with the Beimang cavalry outside Hulukou. At that time, he didn’t see the army led by Zhang Tan to attack the city. The impression was not deep. Only when he was on the scene and saw them with his own eyes Orderly advancement and rotation to siege the city, only to find that Beimang's millions of troops are desperate to put down the environment, and the odds of winning are really great.
Xu Fengnian suddenly felt angry.
The northern Liang area is very small and there are few people. Every time a young master is recruited in Qingliang Mountain, he must use it carefully. Even if it is Xu Fengnian, he treats Mi Fengjie, the master of the Profound Realm of kendo, with courtesy. But on this battlefield, several young masters have already died. The three who showed up before, and two more who blocked the road later, were spotted by himself and threw an arrow to kill on the spot. There is also one. In the blink of an eye, there are six. Looking back at the entire Qingliang Mountain and the entire Fushui Room, how many six young masters can attend together?
At the moment when Xu Fengnian was preparing to kill the hidden masters, those martial arts masters with long aura suddenly evacuated the battlefield at the same time.
Xu Fengnian looked up and saw that it was Dong Zhuo's banner of the Great King of the South House that began to move backwards.
Let the enemy go deeper?
Xu Fengnian, who wanted to advance quickly, stopped abruptly. In order to prevent the battlefield from happening at the Huaiyangguan Duhu Mansion, the cavalry forces of the two towns of Liuya and Fuling made corresponding mobilizations. Once Beimang would not hesitate to spend thousands The cavalry besieged themselves, and the cavalry of the two towns even made the worst plans to enter the battle. Even Liu Jinu made it clear that the cavalry in the city could go out of the city and charge at any time. Xu Fengnian kept his sight on Tiger Head City all the time, so he was confident that he would enter the battle alone and have the ability to leave the battlefield, but at this time Xu Fengnian suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Dong Zhuo's breakthrough, or Beimang's breakthrough, was not Hutoucheng, not Hulukou, but Liuzhou, which both Beimang and Beimang initially focused on, but tacitly abandoned as the situation changed!
I was in danger at the time, and proposed that Chu Lushan and Yuan Zuozong launch an amazing strategy. They should use the heavy snow dragon cavalry and a genuine heavy cavalry as their main force, transfer their troops to a large area, and eat the gourd led by Yang Yuanzan. Mouth, please enter the urn first, and then catch the turtle in the urn.
So is it possible for Beimang to change its strategy before this, trying to eat Liuzhou in one bite?
Even before Xu Fengnian arrived at Huaiyang Pass, he had already arranged Chu Lushan for Kou Jianghuai with the title of General Liuzhou, and led three thousand cavalry troops and six thousand Liangzhou infantrymen to assist Liuzhou and cooperated with 30,000. The Dragon Elephant Army guards the Liuzhou battlefield where Tuoba Bodhisattva joins the battlefield.
Xu Fengnian stood in place, looking to the west, looking towards the distant Liuzhou.
At this time, there were more than twenty riders who followed him, the King of Northern Liang, into the battlefield without knowing when, everyone with swords.
Weiliangqi is Wu Liuding, the sword crown of the contemporary Wu Family Sword Tomb, and the woman's sword Shi Cuihua.
It was Wu Liuding, who had broken the battle and was unable to conceal his arrogance, rode his horse to Xu Fengnian's side. The young swordsman said with a smile on his face, "I dare not move forward?"
Xu Fengnian is silent, and the sword Shi Cuihua, who habitually closes her eyes, frowns and said with a deep frown, "Say business."
Wu Liuding stood silent as a chill, and said helplessly: "Chu Duhu asked me to say that he felt that Dong Zhuo's kid was uneasy and kind, so he had already made his own way last night and rushed to Liuzhou with hundreds of guards. However, at the junction of Liangliu and Liangliu, he had already had eight thousand ambush soldiers there, waiting for Beimang to come. Oh, Chu Duhu also said that those eight thousand people were from various places not long ago. The thorny figure picked up by the army urgently, without him personally leading the troops, no one can control the gang of old soldiers."
Xu Fengnian laughed without warning, unable to stop.
Wu Liuding turned his head to Cuihua and asked, "Are you crazy?"
Xu Fengnian finally stopped laughing, looked at the Dong Zhuo banner in the far north, and smiled and asked, "Dare you break the line two miles ahead with me?"
Wu Liuding said without hesitation: "I am just a talker, I dare not!"
The female swordsman opened her eyes and said calmly to Xu Fengnian: "Please don't worry about your prince."
Xu Fengnian nodded.
The eight thousand elders who came out improvised.
In fact, before Xu’s family fell into the cold, it was no longer an established system. Even earlier, when a certain fat man was driving to Shu, there was no such thing as a direct line of soldiers and horses. The general Xu Xiao always gave him a lot. Soldiers and horses fought any battle, and their corporals were either the Xu family army who died the fastest, or they were promoted the fastest. If he had to have one name, he would barely have one. It was a fame battle led by his young man. It was by a river. At that time, the eight thousand cavalry soldiers put together under his command only survived four hundred. people. After Xu Fengnian inherited his inheritance as the king of the North Liang, the last time he accidentally chatted with the fat man who served as the guardian of the northern Liang in Huaiyangguan, he realized that since the fat man has fought more than 70 battles large and small as the main general, he barely Someone who has served as a soldier under his hand and did not die, there are just over 10,000 people left in Beiliang. The elders have become the heads of the generals, and most of them are young men in their forties. The one with the least prosperous mix, the lowest rank should also be a standard leader.
That river, if Xu Fengnian remembers correctly, it is called Yiluohe.
————
The border bordering Liangliu~IndoMTL.com~A fat man who had just put on his armor and rode on a horse looked at the cavalry in front of him, those familiar faces, laughed and asked: "Everyone, from the general The school lieutenant or the worst is also a standard leader, how does it feel to become a little soldier under Chu Lushan's command again?"
The cavalry burst into laughter.
The fat man smiled and said: "I heard that there are still many people who came from the infantry army to fill up the numbers. I, Chu Lushan, don't care about you anymore. I want to be here for so many years, and the bow and horse have not fallen too much."
The knights laughed louder.
The fat man suddenly had a murderous look on his face and said viciously: "Most of you know an old rule, go with me to kill the enemy, as long as you don’t die, you can be promoted when you look back. This time I’m going to disappoint you. It’s hard to say whether you die, but Even if you don’t die, there’s no official promotion! It’s agreed in advance that this time the enemy is Dong Zhuo’s direct cavalry in Beimang, at least 20,000 people! We only have 8,000 people, what should we do?"
The whole room was solemn and silent.
Chu Lushan suddenly clasped his fists and said: "Then please, please, take a trip to Yiluohe with me, Chu Lushan!"
