Chapter 118: The Moment of Victory and Defeat

Shrinking forces and abandoning the struggle for useless locations can minimize casualties and organize living forces to hold on. When Xu You proposed to Gu Changyong, he wanted the Governor's Mansion not to blindly send troops, because the sky was about to dark, and if he rushed to help overnight, the enemy would be dark and I would be clear, and it would be easy to be ambushed and suffer a big defeat.

Now Lu Zhang has come to naught, the two thousand elite soldiers of the Governor's Mansion are the last hope at the moment, as long as they hold on until dawn tomorrow, the soldiers arrive in Beiguli, and they will never fall in love with each other for six days of fierce fighting, after all, their purpose is to fight the gate valve, not to burn the jade and die together.

The fire in Beiyuan gradually subsided, and the enemy who was mainly attacking Beiyuan could not find a breakthrough in the middle of the night, so he had no choice but to turn to the West Courtyard and join forces with the West Courtyard. And the battle in the West Courtyard also tended to be stable, and the strong troops of the Six Heavens were fought and retreated by Gu Lin, and after being led to the bamboo forest, they set a fire and burned dozens of people, and the rest were also isolated outside the bamboo forest, and there was no way to attack for the time being. The thieves who came in from the east gate had the strongest combat effectiveness, and caused the most serious damage so far, they killed every person, regardless of men, women and children, none of them lived, the three hundred people led by Gu Ming only barely resisted half an hour before they all died, Gu Ming was also killed by more than ten knives, in just half of the night, the casualties have exceeded thousands.

After receiving the report, Xu You ordered Gu Shang to take 500 parts to respond, send the lucky guests into the main courtyard, and then close the courtyard door, use a wooden stake to die, and then block it with sandbags. The gate of this courtyard was very heavy, and forty-nine raised copper nails were riveted on the door, and after being smeared with mud, it was not afraid of fire, and it was extremely strong.

In addition, they piled up earth into ladders along the courtyard wall, plus various furniture and wooden chairs as support, and sent heavy troops to defend the wall. There are 1,500 capable warriors who have been brought back this time, including the Gu clan and other guests' own troops, although these people have low combat effectiveness, and they do not have the upper hand in the dark of night for six days, and there is a risk of being broken and swallowed by each one, but it is more than enough to shrink and defend - it is 1,500 pigs, and it is not something that can be done in one night if you want to kill them!

There was a little episode when the troops were gathered, Ren Fang brought more than 50 people to Wu County this time, and they defended and fought outside, seven died, and all the rest were evacuated safely, but they learned that the head of the little lord was cut off by Xu You, and the death was miserable, so he immediately drew his knife and wanted to kill Xu You and then quickly.

Although Gu Shang resolutely and decisively disarmed with his troops, these people are still an unstable factor, Xu You did not kill again, but said in front of everyone: "I killed Brother Ren for public rather than private, if I can survive this catastrophe, I will go to the East China Sea in person in the future to take the blame." But at this time tonight, since I am leading the army to fight under the orders of Gu Gong and killing in hand, I have only one request for you, that is, to prohibit it! As a member of the Ren clan, your loyalty is commendable, and I can forgive you once. If there is another person who violates our military law, no matter who it is, Ren Fang's head will be a lesson for you! Do you understand? ”

"No!"

Everyone was convinced, and there was no contempt for Xu You. The military heart is available, Xu You struck while the iron was hot, and said: "Come on, set up a gold cabinet!" ”

Dozens of cabinets surrounded a hill, inside are countless copper coins, anyway, generous to others, spend Gu's money, Xu You is not distressed, said: "Those who dare to hold a knife will be rewarded with a thousand dollars, those who climb the wall will be rewarded with ten thousand dollars, injured an enemy, rewarded with 100,000 yuan, killed an enemy, rewarded with 500,000 yuan, if you take the head of an enemy, you will be rewarded with one million dollars!" Those who capture or kill the enemy's general's wife or above will be rewarded with tens of millions of dollars! ”

"No!"

"No!"

"No!"

Swords and guns are held high, the sound of killing goes straight into the sky, and there will be brave men under the heavy reward, which is the only truth for a thousand years. There was a crackling rumble outside the courtyard, and the Six Heavens thieves began to attack tentatively.

Pei Jiawei.

The battle came to an end, and there were still three or five remnants of the enemy who were still fighting in the trapped beasts, and were soon hacked to death or stabbed by knives and guns. Then a team of five people reorganized the battlefield, and found that the seriously injured and not dead directly cut off their heads as military merits, and the lightly injured thieves also took poison before being captured, and only caught more than 20 alive.

The four wounded officers of gold, wood, water, and earth were all killed in battle, and after the captives identified them, the bodies were picked out and placed separately. The fire officer was brave and brave, although he was hit by five arrows and had many knife wounds, he broke through the encirclement and jumped into Peijiawei without a trace. More than a dozen flying boats cruised on the surface of the lake in search of them, but no one was dead or dead, and perhaps they escaped in the night.

However, it is harmless to run a fire officer, this time to lure the enemy, the five hundred elite soldiers in six days were almost wiped out, and the more gratifying thing is that the five wounded officers whose status is still above the ten generals and ten ladies have died four people, this is a great battle, and the court must have a generous gift!

A group of people walked out of the alley, the first one was slender, extraordinary, phoenix wings hidden deep in his face, fish scales and fine armor shining in the firelight, twenty elite subordinates clustered around, majestic posture, making people's hearts tremble. He stepped on the corpses all over the ground, his steps fell in the blood water, splashed a cold and graceful arc, and slowly walked to the embankment, looking up at the dim moonlight, not knowing what to think.

"Congratulations to Lang Jun, congratulations to Lang Jun!" Yang Mo, as a first-class military marquis of the Zhang family, has never looked down on the person in front of him, but after this battle, the admired five-body threw himself to the ground, and praised sincerely: "After tonight, no one in Jiangdong knows the name of Lang Jun, what is the night light, what is the eight-tone phoenix play, when you meet Lang Jun, is it not willing to bow down?" ”

"What a false name!"

This person's name is Zhang Huai, the word Jingyi, is a talent cultivated by the Zhang family in the battle array, and it has never been revealed to the public. Tonight's situation is in crisis, take out a small test, easily see through the six-day trick, and then lure the enemy to set up an ambush, gather and annihilate him, march and arrange the formation in a disciplined manner, and achieve a great victory, which cannot be underestimated.

As the saying goes, what is lacking is what you think, unlike Zhu Ren, the current sect leader of the Zhu family, who wants to switch from martial arts to literature, the Zhang family has been quietly arranging the focus of the family from literature to martial arts over the years. The reason is nothing more than a different judgment of the situation, Zhu Ren believes that the emperor of Chu An Zidao is deeply wary of the big surname gatekeeper, especially the number one strong sect, all of them are thorns in the flesh, sooner or later there will be a day of reckoning, the fall of the Yixing Xu clan is a wake-up call. But Zhang believes that the world has been peaceful for a long time, and the Northern Wei Dynasty is eyeing the tiger, and there will be a war to destroy the country that will cause turmoil in the north and the south in the future.

Zhang Huai, is the leader selected by the Zhang family, he is the same generation as Zhang Yu Zhang Tong and others, but he is not a descendant, nor is he a direct line, he is not usually valued by others, and the name of literary poetry is estimated to be ranked outside the hundredth place in the family.

"Tell the order, people don't take off their armor, guns and shields are in front, knives and bows are behind, and gallop to help Beiguli!"

"Lang Jun, do you want to let everyone rest? After all, there has just been a bad battle, and people are sleepy and tired......"

"Can't rest! One drum and then decline, with the power of victory, like a thousand-foot waterfall draining the ground, indestructible, and it is not difficult to win again! Zhang Huai's voice was soft and calm, not as steady as it should be at this age. He turned around, took a few steps forward, straightened the robes of the few subordinates who stood at the forefront, and then his eyes roamed over everyone's faces, and said softly: "Let's go, after this battle, the family will have a heavy reward." And also...... Remember, they all came back alive! ”

The offensive and defensive battle of the main house in Beiguli was underway, and the door was set on fire for six days, but it did not succeed because of the nails and mud. A large number of lit dry grass and branches were thrown in from outside the wall, the fire rose, and tears flowed from the corners of the smoke-smoked eyes, Xu You had already arranged, seven or eight large tanks in the yard were filled with clear water, and organized a large number of young men and women who were quick in their legs and feet but could not use knives to participate in the battle to be responsible for transporting water to extinguish the fire, there were slaves and maids, and there were also scholars, but at the moment of life and death, the status was no longer so important, and it was no longer so insurmountable, Ren Fang's head was still on the desk at the door of the lobby, who dared to disobey Xu You's order?

Seeing that the fire attack could not work, he cut down the trees outside in six days to build a simple wooden ladder, and took ten people as a team to climb the wall in many places to attack, and the sound of fighting never stopped from this moment on. Six days is not afraid of death, Gu is strong in the crowd, every six days thief who climbs the wall needs to pay three or five lives to kill or drive him down, the price paid is not small, but after all, time is on Gu's side, as long as it drags on like this, the first thing that can't stand it must be six days.

"Report! The Western Wall is lost! ”

The loss of the Western Wall was a partial victory of six days of tactical use, as they first found the weak point of the main house's defense through repeated trials, and then deliberately increased their forces to storm in other directions, and relaxed the intensity of the attack on the Western Wall. When the people of the Western Wall rushed to the perimeter to support, they suddenly sent a fierce general to take the lead, rushed to the top of the wall, and firmly stood on their feet, just waiting for the follow-up troops to follow, they could break through and completely change the situation of the battle.

"Huh?"

Xu You's attention turned to the west, only to see a person * with his upper body, holding a four-foot copper mace, his strong muscles were full of vitality under the firelight, and the seven or eight upturned knife edges were bleeding, which looked extremely hideous, but he was still nailed to the wall like a nail, and with a sweep, the defensive parts fell down one after another, and no one was the enemy.

One, two, three...... Five-person ...... In an instant, more than a dozen people climbed up, and the bronze shovel looked up to the sky and laughed, jumped into the courtyard, and said, "You pickled goods, yes yes will eat your hearts and drink your blood!" ”

The two military marquis used a knife and a gun, and in the angry shouting, they attacked back and forth, taking the heart from the top and the knee from the bottom, and making sharp and swift moves, which were also the cultivation of the nine products.

"Good time!"

The man didn't pay attention to the change of tricks at all, and the copper mace was raised high and smashed. Bang, bang, the flames splashed everywhere, the two armies snorted repeatedly, the knife was broken and the gun was broken, and the color changed dramatically, and he was frightened, and he was just about to retreat, when the copper gong struck again, a skull was shattered, a chest and abdomen were sunken, and he died instantly.

"Qingming!"

Qingming, who was standing behind Xu You, disappeared suddenly, and appeared behind the other party in the next moment. The man's face was condensed, his breath was as heavy as a mountain, his feet stepped on the ground, and the copper mace stabbed back, and he actually fused the mighty mace with the weirdness of the sword technique, and he was very powerful.

A stab in the air.

The man no longer felt Qingming's existence, and turned back in amazement, but saw Qingming's fluttering one-legged head like a feather on the square head of the copper mace, with his hands behind him, like an immortal.

"Little Grandmaster......

This thought just came to mind, and before he had time to choose between fear or fighting, his forehead hurt, and the powerful and incomparable true qi passed through the spiritual platform, destroying his eight veins of the Qi Sutra, and even the dantian was cleansed, and he collapsed to the ground softly, his hands and feet were motionless, his eyes were wide open, and he was full of unwillingness and chagrin, hating himself for why he didn't bite the poison in his mouth earlier, he would not be able to die if he wanted to.

"Grab it!"

Several members rushed over and tied him tightly with hemp rope. Xu You ordered Gu Shang to rush forward with the reserve team to re-plug the gap, Qingming returned to his side, and handed over a plaque engraved with the words of Xudu Mountain and the Six Generals, which was no different from the ones he had obtained before.

The battle continues!

When the moonlight is in the sky, the autumn is as cool as water, the insects in the grass seem to be stimulated by the smell of blood all over the courtyard, and the rapid chirping even overshadows the shouting and killing of the two armies, which makes people upset, almost wanting to tear open their chests and gasp for turbidity.

In this small miniature battlefield, subject to terrain constraints and number of limitations, what clever plan, what formation, are all flowers in the mirror, useless for victory, every sword exchange, every attack and defense, is a contest of strength and will, alive, or dead, the only two choices, who persists to the end, victory belongs to whom, no opportunism, no providence fluke, blood watered the blade, in order to split the road to survival.

At the end of the day, the six-day offensive suddenly increased unprecedentedly, regardless of casualties, the troops in charge of defense had already died three rounds, and the reserves in Xu You's hands were less than five hundred people left, and the entire defense line was crumbling, and it was likely that the whole line would collapse in the next breath. Gu Lin was covered in blood, knelt in front of Xu You, and said anxiously: "Lang Jun, what should I do?" The thieves are crazy, and the brothers can't stand it......"

"Don't mess with yourself!" Xu You's eyes were resolute, his expression was as usual, and he was quite calm and calm when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, and said: "The sky is about to dawn, maybe it is the last fight of the thief, and if you defend this offensive, you should be safe!" ”

"But how do you keep it? I really can't hold it...... Could it be that the group of Six Heavenly Thieves who were ambushed on the south bank of Wuling Creek came to support? Lu Zhang's reinforcements have been ...... Dead and wounded? ”

"It's good that Lu Zhang's reinforcements are good, but no, it doesn't matter the overall situation!" Xu You resolutely said: "I still have 500 people, give you 400 people, and go to support wherever there is danger." Don't be afraid, a rough estimate shows that there are three hundred people who died in six days, and they can't hold out for long. ”

Gu Lin wiped his face fiercely and said, "Okay, listen to Lang Jun, fight hard, it's a big deal!" ”

Xu You opened his arms, hugged Gu Lin gently, and said, "Believe me, we will all die, but we will never die tonight!" ”

Gu Lin rushed to the wall with four hundred fresh troops, and more than fifty people died almost in one shot, and the rest struggled to support, slashing with knives, biting with teeth, and rolling down the wall with their bodies holding the enemy, everyone was red-eyed, either you die, or I die.

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Xu You called Qingming in a low voice, and gave a few orders, Qingming changed into the clothes of the six-day ghost who died in the courtyard, and quietly disappeared into the night outside the wall.

For him, the darkness before dawn is the sharpest weapon!

"Ah...... Who is it? ”

"Five generals? The five generals are dead......"

"The Eighth Lady is assassinated!"

"Three generals, what about the three generals?"

In silence, three leaders died in succession in six days, which immediately caused a strong backlash, and the remaining generals and wives were all closely protected by their henchmen, and the rhythm of the command was immediately chaotic, and the crazy attack of the ghost pawns also slowed down.

One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, the enemy's fighting spirit has been exhausted, the fighting spirit is completely gone, it is the best moment to counterattack, Xu You is keenly aware of this subtle change, pulled out the long knife, the blade is direct, pointed straight to the main door, and said sharply: "Insult my lintel, kill my wife, these are these dogs without a king and a father!" Those who are still alive, listen to my orders, rush out, and kill all the white thieves! ”

"Kill all the thieves!"

"Kill all the thieves!"

Squeak, the courtyard door is open, and the five hundred and thirty-six people who can still stand, at this moment, everyone is willing to die for Xu You. With the knife in his hand, he followed his side, all of them bravely took the lead, like an arrow from the string, breaking through the invisible barrier and stabbing into the chest of the Six Heavens thieves.

"Withdraw!"

The situation was reversed, there was no hope of victory, and the order to retreat was finally given in six days, but at this moment, countless heads were thrown in from the outer courtyard behind him, and Zhang Huai's figure appeared at the door, shouting: "The five wounded officers have been ambushed, and those who kneel down can be spared death!" ”

The die is cast!
