Chapter 202: Outwitting the Silver Mountain
In the face of the frantic siege of layers of enemy troops, Guo Song had a sense of powerlessness for the first time, he was surrounded by corpses, blood had gathered into a stream, he had killed hundreds of people, but the Shatuo cavalry was still desperate to frantically besiege him.
Guo Song shouted, Fang Tian's halberd swept over, two heads flew up, plasma splashed in the headless corpse, he stabbed the halberd, pierced the chest of a centurion, the other party screamed and died, Guo Song used his arms to provoke him into the sky.
At this moment, Guo Song's left leg ached, and a cold arrow hit him, which was already the second cold arrow to hit him.
Guo Song was also a little anxious, he jumped over the high pile of corpses on his horse, the halberd flew over, Guo Song had already killed the red eye, killed the god when he met the god, killed the Buddha when he met the Buddha, swept everything, invincible everything, and killed a bloody way.
At this time, the Tang army following behind him was only more than thirty people led by Liang Wu, and Guo Song shouted: "You go first!" ”
He turned over and killed back, and the Shatuo cavalry was also a little afraid of him, and when they saw him kill back, they shouted and turned around and fled.
I saw more than 3,000 people in front of them surrounding Li Ji, Guo Chongqing and nearly 100 of their subordinates, spears were dense like a forest, stabbing at the Tang soldiers, and the Shatuo cavalry in the rear kept releasing arrows, and the cold arrows like dense raindrops were unguardable, and the Tang soldiers kept screaming and falling off their horses.
Guo Song's eyes spurted with anger, the halberd swept and assassinated, the Shatuo cavalry fell down like wheat, Guo Song killed a passage, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Hurry up!" ”
The soldiers of the Tang Army were desperate, and they rushed by in groups, but Guo Song saw that Guo Chongqing led more than a dozen soldiers who were still fighting with the enemy, and had no intention of retreating, so he was so anxious that he shouted: "Hurry up!" ”
Guo Chongqing laughed miserably, pointing to his lower abdomen, and Guo Song found that his intestines had flowed out.
"You go! I'll hold you back the enemy, get out! ”
Guo Song's tears welled up, he gritted his teeth, turned the horse's head to fight his way out of the encirclement again, and galloped away.
Guo Chongqing shouted, "Brothers, sacrifice your life for the country, die as you deserve, kill!" ”
"Kill!"
More than a dozen Tang soldiers shouted in unison and followed Guo Chongqing to fight bravely against the enemy.
Their men became fewer and fewer as they fought, and they were eventually engulfed by the raging enemy army.
But it was Guo Chongqing and his subordinates who dragged the time for the Shatuo cavalry to have a cup of tea, which bought precious time for the Tang army, and the Tang army ran all the way for nearly a hundred miles, and finally arrived at the foot of the Silver Mountain.
Guo Song gathered the soldiers, there were only ninety-three people, and there were more than a dozen seriously injured soldiers, all of whom had been seriously injured and died.
"Changshi, go take a look! Tang Dalang is looking for you. Li Ji pointed to the place where the wounded soldiers were.
Guo Song stepped forward quickly, squatted in front of the fire chief Tang Dalang, and said in a deep voice: "You are fine, you must survive." ”
Tang Dalang was seriously injured, with several arrows in his body, and was pierced through the lower abdomen by a spear, and he could not survive.
He shook his head slightly, grabbed Guo Song's hand, stuffed a piece of jade into Guo Song's hand, and said in a low voice: "Give this piece of jade to my son and tell him that it is the beautiful jade left to him by his father......."
Before he finished speaking, he tilted his head and passed away, Guo Song was in pain to the bone, he raised his head and slowly closed his eyes, tears falling down.
Li Ji helped Guo Song up, "Changshi, now is not the time to be sad, the chasing soldiers will be killed soon, and we will have to kill Yinguan." ”
Guo Song wiped away his tears, nodded and said: "It's too late to burn, bury it directly, one day I, Guo Song, will come back and erect a monument for you!" ”
The soldiers quickly buried the twelve seriously wounded and died, and then loaded the other three on their horses and led them up the mountain.
At this time, there were only seventy-eight people left in the Tang army who could fight, all of them were more or less slightly wounded, and even Li Ji was hit by two arrows, but fortunately, their armor was thick and the arrows were not deep.
In addition to seventy-eight people, there were three more seriously wounded soldiers.
"Changshi, how is your injury?" Li Ji asked.
Guo Song shook his head, looked at the pass under the faint light on the top of the mountain and said: "It's all a flesh injury, it's not a big problem, we can't attack Yinguan, we must outwit it." ”
At this time, the sun has set, and there is still a little afterglow in the sky, which is when the sky is about to get dark.
At this time, a long fire dragon appeared in the distance, and thousands of Shatuo cavalry chased after it.
Although the Shatuo cavalry killed more than 100 Tang troops, they also paid the price of 1,500 killed.
Running to the foot of the mountain, Zhu Xiejin waved his hand, stopped his subordinates, and said to them: "Shoot rockets to remind the soldiers at the pass to pay attention to the enemy's situation, and we will go up the mountain after dawn to collect the corpses of the enemy soldiers." ”
Zhu Xie Jinman is very experienced, if they chase and kill up the mountain, the rolling wood and stones on the mountain will fall, not only will they hurt the Tang army, but they themselves will also suffer heavy casualties.
As long as the defenders on the mountain are vigilant, dozens of Tang troops will not be able to attack the dangerous pass no matter what.
Three rockets took off into the air to warn the enemy of the enemy situation at the top of the mountain.
About three hundred steps away from the pass, Guo Song had already packed up, he was dressed in black, with a bow and arrow and a black sword on his back, and six flying knives at his waist.
He still had injuries on his body, an arrow in his back, this arrow did not shoot deeply, only a little pain, not a big problem, but the arrow on his leg shed a lot of blood.
But he didn't have a choice, and no one but him could climb the cliffs.
He said to Li Ji: "At the moment of life and death, except for the seriously injured and the horse watcher, everyone else must be killed, and seeing the fire is the signal!" ”
"The humble position understands, and the long history is careful himself."
Li Ji was very worried, and he couldn't wait to go with Changshi, but he also knew that only Changshi could complete this matter.
Guo Song jumped up the cliff and climbed a protruding rock, and the soldiers held their breath as they watched their leader climb quickly on the cliff and soon disappear into the darkness.
Guo Song's injuries still had an impact, the wound on his leg burst out, and the blood flowed out again, and he had to endure the severe pain and struggle to climb up, while also speeding up.
In less than a quarter of an hour, he climbed to the top of the mountain, hid behind a boulder, opened his trousers with a knife, re-medicated and bandaged, and stopped the bleeding from the arrow wound.
He was on the other side of the pass, nearly a hundred steps away from the gate, but he could see the situation inside the gate very clearly.
The pass was not large, less than ten acres, and dozens of tents were set up in the open space, but hundreds of soldiers were basically concentrated on the gate and below. The castle is full of rolling wood and stones.
The soldiers defending the city were alarmed by the warning from below, and they all went into a state of readiness, some with their bows ready, others ready to throw down at any moment.
This was still a bit difficult to do, but Guo Song's goal was quickly clear, he drew an arrow, opened his bow and shot it.
His target was a general who was directing the soldiers to deploy defenses at the head of the city, and there was no other general in the pass except for this person.
This commander of Shatuo was the chief general of Yinguan, and he was standing at the battlement and cursing the two soldiers angrily, but he never dreamed that there was already an enemy climbing from the cliff to the fortress.
He didn't take a look, the arrow hit him right in the temple, 'Poof! An arrow went into the temple, and the commander of Shatuo screamed miserably, and fell headlong into the castle, and the corpse rolled down the mountain road.
All the soldiers were taken aback, thinking that the enemy below had released arrows, and the defenders of the city suddenly fired arrows in a volley, and one soldier raised the rolling log high.
Another arrow struck him in the neck, and the soldier shook twice, and the log fell to the top of his head, and he fell to the ground.
Guo Song shot another arrow, but this arrow hit the back of the neck of a soldier who was carrying a large rock, the arrow pierced the throat, and the soldier fell headlong.
Guo Song did not look for those archery soldiers, but specialized in shooting the soldiers who were responsible for rolling the wood and stones, these Shatuo soldiers were tall and strong, and in just a moment, Guo Song shot ten arrows in a row, and ten soldiers were shot by him.
The Shatuo soldiers finally found out that the arrow was actually shot from inside the city, but they didn't know where the enemy was? The soldiers at the head of the city had nowhere to hide, and immediately panicked and crouched down one after another.
Guo Song hid in a big rock, lit a rocket, and fired an arrow at the enemy's camp, and then he jumped into the city and ran to the other side.
The rocket revealed Guo Song's hiding place, and dozens of soldiers killed him in his hiding place, but by this time, Guo Song had already left, and the big tent was ignited, and the flames quickly joined together.
A fire broke out on the city, and Li Ji shouted, "Follow me!" ”
He led seventy soldiers and stooped up the hill, using their saddles as shields, and galloped with their heads bowed.
The defenders of Shatuo at the head of the city also spotted them and immediately shouted.
Arrows rained down, and the five soldiers raised the rolling wood and were about to throw it, when several flying knives came from the side, and the five soldiers were hit by the knife one after another, lifting the rolling wood and rolling to the ground again.
One centurion yelled angrily, "Don't shoot arrows, throw them down with rolling logs!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Song fell from the sky, and with a wave of the black sword, the centurion's head immediately flew out.
Guo Song swung his sword and slashed, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, instantly slashed over more than a dozen people, and controlled the city wall above the mountain road, and the rolling wood and stones were all under his feet.
The archers turned their bows and arrows to shoot at him, and he flew dozens of arrows, and roared like a tiger into the crowd, and his sword flew up, and there was a scream and wail everywhere he passed.
Li Ji led seventy Tang soldiers to the bottom of the city, and a long rope lassoed the battlements, and more than a dozen Tang soldiers with high martial arts took the lead in climbing to the top of the city and followed the main general into the crowd.
Other Tang soldiers also climbed up to the top of the city and stormed Yinguan City.
