Chapter 532: Ignite My Heart
Chen Fusheng walked to Ran Junshou's side, clasped his fists and bowed again, then turned to look at everyone and said loudly: "This is the autumn of critical survival, and the enemy is now. We need to put aside our old suspicions and work together to defend against foreign enemies. In the wind and snow in front of them, everyone was indifferent, and everyone began to worry in their hearts, and the shadow guards knew that once the city was broken, it would be a catastrophe.
Ran Qi didn't interrupt, but looked at everyone with a more determined gaze. On the side, Gu Xing also walked to Ran Junshou's side, facing everyone as a guard. Chen Fusheng's gaze quickly swept over the faces of each soldier, and only after retracting his gaze did he continue, "Fellow comrades, at this time, the enemy is strong and I am weak, and we cannot be defeated. However, Longshou County is located in the pass, and there are natural dangers to defend, which is also a surprising opportunity for us. ”
Chen Fusheng's words became more and more firm, like a banner that stood tall in the face of the wind and snow, waving in the wind in the hearts of no one present. Ran Qi finally understood Chen Fusheng's intentions, and his hands were clenched into fists, unable to hide his excitement. At this time, if you face the enemy head-on, defeat is inevitable. But if you find another way and outflank from the rear, it will have a surprise effect.
Finally, this remark ignited a raging fire in the hearts of everyone present. And on their faces, which were gradually turned white by fear and wind and snow, a long-lost blood color began to appear. Chen Fusheng did not stop and continued to boost morale, "Marching and fighting, the most taboo is low morale. At this time, we have the dragon head county city to defend, what else to fear? ”
"Roar! Roar! Roar! The soldiers turned the fear in their hearts into a roar that roared into the sky, and the sound spread for hundreds of miles and for a long time. At this time, the people outside the city were also shocked by this sudden roar, and their faces began to show uneasiness that could not be concealed.
Chen Fusheng was ecstatic in his heart, thinking that the first step of his plan had already worked wonders. Taking advantage of the strong morale, Chen Fusheng continued to take advantage of the victory to attack, "Centurion, captain, and horseman are out of the ranks!" ”
At this time, the city defense army was already in order, and six people walked out of it, and in front of the formation, their eyes were square, without a trace of fear. They are battle-hardened warriors who will lead the Dragonshou County to another victory that belongs to them.
"Please give Chen Gongzi an order!" The six of them said in unison, already seeing Chen Fusheng as a comrade, and no longer doubted.
Chen Fusheng relied on his own strength to reunite the already scattered military spirit, but he was very capable of it. At this time, the most important thing is to work together to defend against foreign enemies. The crowd outside the city is approaching in an instant, and every bit is dangerous at this time, and there must be no more delay.
So, they put aside all prejudices and speculations and entrusted everything to the person in front of them.
Chen Fusheng stepped forward and hugged his fists, raised his hand and made a move, his raised arm clenched into a fist in the air, and said urgently: "Please lead the centurion to stand by in front of the city gate, and the crossbowmen will sneak up to the city first, waiting for the opportunity to move!" Everything, there is a lot of work for all comrades! ”
The two centurions then raised their hands, and the foot soldiers raised their swords and shields, and hurried to the city gates, where they were prepared for the worst. And the crossbowmen, who were no more than a hundred, led by another centurion, rushed quickly towards the city wall, lying on the ground, observing the movement of the city at all times.
At this time, the two military inspectors above the city had dropped the "red flag" in their hands, and raised the "yellow flag" to continue to warn.
Everyone in the city was shocked, but Chen Fusheng turned a blind eye and continued to say loudly: "The captain of the Xiao cavalry led two thousand light horsemen, quietly came out along the left and right city gates, and when the battle was about to break out, he was divided into eight units and rushed into the enemy formation. Remember, don't startle the snake! "Command!" The two cavalry captains clenched their fists and said loudly, then turned over their horses, and with a burst of hooves, two thousand light horsemen galloped towards the east and west city gates in the wind and snow.
Longshou County is backed by a pass and faces the plain on three sides. At this time, the enemy army in Luoyang rushed from the south, and it was bound to be strictly guarded behind him, and the east and west were empty. If it is not bad, then this move will definitely catch them off guard.
The remaining two lieutenants were all puzzled. originally thought that they would be the first to receive the order, but unexpectedly, Chen Gongzi left them at the end. was about to speak, but saw Chen Fusheng clenching his fist against his chest, and his eyes were busy, "Two comrades, and thousands of remaining brothers, Chen Fusheng is here to ask you for a great thing!" ”
At this time, no one answered, and their eyes were blazing. Maybe they were still uneasy and scared just now. But inspired by Chen Fusheng's words, he finally began to let go of the fear in his heart and wanted to fight to the death with the inviper.
Chen Fusheng raised his fist arm high again, and shouted loudly, "I, Chen Fusheng, today will advance and retreat with you, and live and die together." After these words, please go with me to the North City Gate Pass, and when the battle is about to break out, I will hang down the rope along the pass, outflank them, and kill them by surprise. ”
When Chen Fusheng said this, the boulder hanging in the hearts of the soldiers fell to the ground. Although they had all kinds of speculations, they finally knew Chen Fusheng's final plan. At this time, Gu Xing and Ran Qi, who were standing behind them, wanted to speak and stopped. Chen Fusheng didn't turn around, but just took the lead in walking forward, and put down a bold sentence, "When we rush into the formation, please raise your swords to greet you!" ”
The wind and snow covered Chen Fusheng's slightly thin body, and Gu Xing never expected that Chen Fusheng would leave the most dangerous road to himself. At this time, he was like a forgotten stranger, standing in front of the city gate, at a loss. And Ran Qi, needless to say, wants to stay in front of the battle to stabilize the morale of the army, and Chen Fusheng is here, on the line of life and death.
The pass is high and steep, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. And to hang the rope from here is the decision of nine deaths and one life. But if not, how can a surprise be sent from heaven?
At this time, the soldiers in front of the city gate pressed the border, known as more than 10,000 people. And they are only less than 5,000 soldiers and horses, so it is naturally difficult to resist. And the enemy army in Luoyang is so arrogant, I think there must be the power of the city, if you hesitate again at this time, I am afraid that before you can discuss, the city will be destroyed.
Ran Qi raised his hand and patted Gu Xing's shoulder, without any extra words. And Gu Xing seemed to have made up his mind, took three steps back, and hugged his fist towards Ran Junshou, "Uncle Ran, Gu Xing, please fight!" ”
Ran Qi was stunned when he heard this, but then he was relieved. Although his face was solemn, it was much soothed. He looked at Gu Xing's gaze at this moment, and finally became a little more calm, the black and thin young man at that time was already standing up to the sky and the earth at this time, fearless of this hunting wind and snow......
"Yes!" It's such a simple word, but it seems to have used up all the strength around Ran Qi. And Gu Xing, whose body was about to be wrapped in wind and snow, suddenly trembled, and then lifted the silver spear upside down, walked into the infantry formation, and walked to the front. He wants to be the most courageous pioneer, and use his best to be fearless of death to glorify the glory given to him by the county guard Ran Qi and thousands of comrades at this moment!
When Gu Xing stood with his gun up, the footmen behind him shouted in unison: "Roar! Roar! Roar! ”
This roar rushed into the wind and snow but did not subside at all. Like a roaring beast, charging towards the enemy outside the city. At this time, the comrades of Longshou County who rushed to the other three places all stopped in unison, and they also tried their best to roar towards the city gate, "Roar! Roar! Roar! ”
This sound echoed endlessly within a radius of dozens of miles in Longshou County, and it was like a thunderclap exploding in the hearts of the soldiers outside the city, and it also hit Zhou Dewei's heart like a drum and a soul.
From the first roar in front of the battle, he thought that this time it was a tough battle. And with these countless roars one after another, his heart sank to the bottom of the lake again. Leaning over his horse, he began to tremble slightly as his hand holding the reins began to tremble......
But at this time, the arrow is on the bow, and it has to be sent!
Zhou Dewei immediately made a decision, raised his arms and shouted, "Crossbowmen prepare!" ”
The white crossbowmen listened to the order in front of the array, the bowstring in their hands was tight, and they raised their arms to point to the sky diagonally above, waiting for the next order. Zhou Dewei did not hesitate at all, and shouted loudly: "Break! ”
A round of arrow rain overwhelmingly descended towards the gate of Longshou County, like a black cloud pressing down on the city, and the city was about to be destroyed! At this time, in the hands of the crossbow lying on the city wall, the centurion shouted: "Find cover, save your life first!" ”
In life and death, reality is often so cruel. And at this moment, no one will put their lives into practice. And if they want to win this war, they must make the smallest sacrifice. Yuen Long's sacrifice has planted a small seed in their hearts, a seed that needs blood and tears to water in order to thrive......
At this time, under the city, the centurion also made a due response, and the "yellow flag" and "red flag" waved back and forth alternately in the hands of the two military inspectors at the head of the city, which was a warning of an emergency. The foot soldier raised his shield to block the rain of arrows that rained down. Countless arrows hit the iron shield, making a "bell-bell-bell" sound, which was a bit breathtaking at this moment.
Eventually, an arrow entered the position that the foot soldiers could not conceal, and the arms and legs began to be cut by the merciless arrows, and the blood spread at this point. But no one let out a terrible howl, no one got up and fled, everyone was gritting their teeth and holding on, waiting for the moment when they rushed out.
When this round of arrows passed, the crossbowmen on the city head rose up one after another, and the fierce light in their eyes was revealed. The centurion made a quick decision, and a round of twenty-four people stepped forward and began the first round of counterattack. And the rest of the people began to move back and forth about the city, collecting the arrows after the rain of arrows for later use.
Zhou Dewei's eyes were like torches, and he muttered, "Is it finally here?" Then he raised his hand, and the crossbowmen withdrew, and the foot soldiers in front of the formation raised their shields and pushed forward. At this time, the remaining soldiers and horses retreated a few feet, deliberately distancing themselves from the first pawn in front.
This is not Zhou Dewei's cowardice, but the fact that the suspicious array has disrupted the enemy's army. At this time, the light cavalry on both sides had quietly moved, and he also noticed the two military inspectors above the city, opened their black wooden hard bows, and shot arrows. You must know that it is extremely difficult to train military inspectors in this army, and when the two armies face each other, it is extremely difficult to act on personal will.
The military inspection can provide the best assistance, and it is indispensable in the marching formation. And these two military inspectors had been lying in wait at the head of the city for a long time, and they were not noticed at first. It wasn't until he saw the "red flag" held high that Zhou Dewei understood that this city was not uninhabited, but that there was a strategy to meet the enemy.
The power of this arrow is implied with internal strength, if it can't be killed with one blow, it can also temporarily make this person scared to death......
