- Chapter 399: Where is the bridge and where is the road?
Liu Kuo was an old man who had followed Luo Yao when he was conquering merchants. He was no stranger to this kind of river-crossing battle. He stood on the shore and watched Fang Jie chop off the opponent's general flag, and couldn't help but scream in his heart that he was so brave. But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a large group of rebel cavalry rushing over behind Fang Jie.
"Ballista!"
Liu Kuo climbed up the high slope, pointed at the cavalry on the opposite side and shouted loudly: "Kill the cavalry on the opposite side!"
With his order, a dozen huge crossbow arrows roared towards the other side of the river. A heavy crossbow with a fine steel tip and thin iron feathers, and an arrow shaft as thick as a calf. The crossbow carts crafted by the Sui Dynasty's workshops can easily send heavy crossbows five hundred meters away. More than a dozen heavy crossbows shot straight towards the other side, then slowly drew an arc and began to fall.
The rebel cavalry immediately became confused, yelling and dodging.
The rebel infantry running on the shore bore the brunt of the attack. A rebel soldier heard the wind while running and subconsciously raised his head. Then he raised his head and his eyes went dark and he didn't know anything. The heavy crossbow easily tore his head from the ground. The body was knocked down, and he removed half of the shoulder of the second rebel without slowing down. Then he got into the chest of the third man and continued flying forward with the corpse hanging on it until three corpses were squeezed onto the heavy crossbow. Then he stopped.
A heavy crossbow went in from one side of the horse's body and came out from the other side, leaving a huge, hideous wound on the horse's belly. After the iron feather passed through the body of the war horse, the wound left behind looked like a three-petal flower blooming on the horse's belly.
The war horse neighed in pain and fell to one side, blood flowing out of the wound like a waterfall. The cavalryman who was pinned under the war horse howled together with the war horse. The heavy body of the war horse crushed his thigh, and he could not pull it out no matter how hard he struggled.
"Don't make a mess!"
The rebel cavalry general Li Hao loudly restrained the soldiers: "The Sui army has only a dozen crossbows, and the loading speed is very slow. Don't be afraid. Surround the Sui troops on the shore, and they will not dare to fire any more crossbows." Keep an eye on the man in black, catching him is a great achievement!"
The cavalrymen struggled to catch their horses and reunited, then rushed towards Fang Jie and the others.
At this time, Da Quan and Mu Xiaoyao, who had escaped for a while and then rushed to the Huangniu River, immediately changed their expressions after seeing the scene in front of them.
"You wait here!"
Mu Xiaoyao shouted to Wanyan Yunshu, jumped off the high slope and rushed towards the river. Wanyan Yunshu ignored it at all and ran forward after Mu Xiaoyao.
¡°You don¡¯t want to live anymore!¡±
The big dog caught up with her and shouted loudly.
"I am the princess of Northern Liao. There has never been a coward in our tribe, no matter man or woman! On the battlefield, as long as I have companions by my side, I have no reason to back down! Give me a knife, and I can kill people!"
The big dog jumped up, grabbed the neck of a rebel soldier from behind and tore it apart. The rebel soldier's neck was immediately torn open by the steel claws, revealing the white bones, and the severed artery sprayed out thick The blood mist made the soldier lose his life before he could even cry out.
The big dog took out the horizontal knife from the corpse's hand and handed it to Wanyan Yunshu: "No one can take care of you!"
Wanyan Yunshu raised his chin and said, "I can do it myself!"
The three people rushed forward against the flow of the rebels. The rebel infantry had been filled with panic. There was no one who was willing to stay and continue fighting, so the three people moved forward not slowly at all. The big dog looked back at Wanyan Yunshu from time to time and found that this woman was actually quite skilled in martial arts.
There is no routine for Wanyan Yunshu to use the sword. He uses the sword completely according to the needs. The Northern Liao people, a nation that grew up in extremely cold mountains, were far more brave than the Meng Yuan people. People of their nation, both male and female, have been fighting against nature since they were born. Constantly facing the dangerous environment and oppression from the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, if the population of this nation had not been large, it would not have been easy for the Mongolian Yuan people to surrender to the Northern Liao people.
Wanyan Yunshu¡¯s sword is very targeted, only attacking the fatal place. This is a unique habit of the Northern Liao people. Whether they are hunting in the mountains or facing the enemy, they will never give their opponents a chance to counterattack. In their view, enemies are like ferocious beasts and must be killed with one strike.
Mu¡¯s one-foot-long red ribbon spread out from her waist, which could be used to attack from a distance or defend up close. As she moved forward, all the rebel soldiers on the way were sent to hell by the red ribbon.
Because of the crossbows arriving on the other side, Fang Jie pushed the rebel cavalry away for a while. He rushed to Zhuo Buyi and others not far away and jumped off his horse. He looked at the rebel cavalry in the distance and had gathered for the second time.
"Hurry across the river!"He took the rope from Zhuo Buyi¡¯s hand and shouted loudly.
His feet made a deep hole in the ground. He pulled the rope and stepped out for more than ten steps. He straightened the rope and tied it to a big tree: "Quick! Don't waste time!"
After he finished shouting this sentence, he found that no one moved, whether it was Zhuo Buyi or the ten people from the camp.
"Either we go together."
Zhuo Buyi took a few steps forward and picked up a horizontal knife from the ground: "Either we die together."
¡¡
¡¡
Zhuo Buyi and Chun Gu did not leave because they all knew that those who stayed to guard the rope would surely die.
"If you want to live"
Zhuo Buyi walked a few steps forward and stood next to Fang Jie and said calmly: "Then you can only trust Liu Kuo and Chen Bishan. If the Sui army doesn't come to kill them, someone among us will definitely die. If Those holding the rope died in battle, and the rebels cut off the rope, and the people in the river could not survive.¡±
"What the hell do you know!"
Fang Jie cursed angrily: "This is not the time for Jianghu people to show their loyalty, this is a battlefield! If you can survive, get out!"
Zhuo Buyi shook his head: "I am not a soldier, but I am your friend. I don't know what war is, but I know what it means not to leave your companions behind."
Fang Jie wanted to say more, but Chun Gu and the others had already come over. Ten people stood in position to protect Fang Jie and Zhuo Buyi in the plum blossom formation.
"The prince said that the biggest regret of a soldier is that the people who died on the battlefield were not honest enough"
Chun Gu smiled and said: "We haven't killed enough yet. If we are certain to die today, then at least each of us will have to pull dozens of people to support us. From the day we put on the Mingguang Armor and took the Damo Dao from the prince, We're just waiting for this day. That's what we do best."
Fang Jie was stunned for a moment, then cut off the rope with a knife: "Then let's die together."
At this moment, the figures of the border troops in Fan Gucheng appeared in his mind again. When he left, eight hundred border troops were massacred. At that time, they were surrounded by colleagues and had never been separated. But now, Fang Jie is surrounded by his comrades. This time, he decided not to separate.
People are so strange sometimes. He cherished his life for more than ten years.
But at such a moment, he discovered that what he had always been afraid of was actually not scary at all.
After struggling for more than ten years, even if we lose everything we have gained at this moment, it seems there is no regret.
He tightened his grip on the Chaolu knife, his eyes clear.
The rebel cavalry reorganized their formation and rushed over again at a faster speed, while Mu Xiaoyao and three others were galloping in front of them.
"Get behind us and use your bows and arrows!"
Fang Jie shouted loudly.
Mu Xiaoyao and the other three picked up the bows and arrows discarded by the rebels from the ground, and then rushed behind the plum blossom formation. Da Quan was once the prince of the Shang Kingdom, and archery was something he had practiced since he was a child, so he was no stranger to it. Mu Xiaoyao had never touched it before, so she simply handed the bow and arrow to Wanyan Yunshu beside her, picked up a few pebbles from the ground and held them in her hands. She doesn't know how to shoot an arrow, but stoning people to death is not a problem for her.
I have to say, Wanyan Yunshu is really surprising.
Her archery accuracy is enough to put most well-trained soldiers to shame.
Every arrow fired can tear a rebel off his horse.
When they were far away, the three of them killed more than a dozen rebels, and the cavalry immediately came closer. Chun Gu, who was standing at the front, raised her brows and stepped aside to let go of the horizontal sword that the cavalry had handed down. The Damo sword in her hand fell diagonally and struck the rebel soldier's shoulder and one side of his ribs. come out.
Half of the rebel's body slipped off the horse, and his slimy internal organs fell to the floor. The intestines hung on the saddle, and a long section was pulled out bloody.
The butcher blocked the knife for Chun Gu, and then swiped the Damo knife horizontally. The two front legs of the horse were cut off simultaneously, and the knight on the horse jumped down before he had time to react. Fang Jie pulled out a knife from behind the butcher and chopped off the fallen soldier's head: "Ignore the fallen soldier, Mr. Zhuo and I will kill him!"
He shouted loudly, and the ten elite soldiers from the service camp uniformly agreed.
A rebel captain picked up his war horse and planned to step on it with its front hooves. Chun Gu shouted loudly, and raised the Da Mo Dao high. With a pop, the Mo Dao split the captain on the horse into two pieces. The blade did not stop and directly cut off the horse's neck, leaving the horse's head and the knight's body. fell down at the same time. The blood mist exploded in mid-air in an instant, and Fang Jie and the others were bathed in a rain of blood.
???????? Both men and horses are torn apart!
Five or six cavalrymen were knocked over by Damo Dao in succession, and the cavalry behind them had been blocked and unable to exert any impact. Li Hao gave a loud order and asked the cavalry to throw the spears in their hands as throwing spears. In an instant, hundreds of spears hit the plum blossom formation like a rainstorm.
Mu Xiaoyao unfolded the red silk ribbon from behind and swept away more than a dozen spears but was unable to fend them all off. At this time, Zhuo Buyi, who had been motionless, suddenly opened his eyes!
The dozens of rebel cavalry at the front suddenly froze, and some were unable to move even though they were still throwing their guns!
There was sweat on his forehead. He had spent a lot of energy in supporting the camp before, but this time he was a little unable to exert it. If he was at his peak, he would have no problem immobilizing a hundred people.
"kill!"
Fang Jie waved his knife to push away the spear, and then stepped forward fiercely. The large swords of the Gongshi Camp were too heavy to be able to deflect all the spears with their movements, so many of the spears hit the bodies of everyone in the Gimiao Camp. However, even though the spears were heavy, they still could not break through the Mingguang Armor! The tip of the spear scratched a streak of sparks on the armor, which seemed to have a different kind of dazzling beauty.
At this time, Fang Jie is the eye of the formation. If he moves the plum blossoms forward, the formation will move forward. The ten big swords turned away like windmills and rushed over to kill the dozens of people who were immobilized at the front like melons and vegetables. After the killing, Fang Jie didn't want to fight, so he immediately took the plum blossoms to the formation and retreated.
Li Hao¡¯s expression changed and he couldn¡¯t help but spat: ¡°If you push them forward, even if you can¡¯t get them alive, you will knock them into the river and drown them!¡±
There were too many dead men, and his eyes had begun to turn red.
At this moment, the sound of a horn came from the high slope behind him. Li Hao turned around and looked over, only to see a dense crowd of people coming out from behind Gao Po. At the front, a large dark green flag has a red word "Yin" embroidered on it. Look at the number of people and horses, there are no less than tens of thousands of people!
"The general is here in person, don't be embarrassed!"
Li Hao shouted loudly, then pointed the horizontal knife forward: "Kill them all!"
Fang Jie couldn't help but feel his heart sink when he saw the rebel brigade arriving. He turned his head and looked at the other side. The pontoon bridge had been half erected, and it was still at least 150 meters away. The black-armored soldiers on the left wing were still fighting hard, but it seemed that it was too late.
The bridge is there, but where is the way back?
