Chapter 399: Where is the bridge, and where is the road?

Liu Kuo was an old man who followed Luo Yao when he was a merchant, and he was no stranger to this kind of river-crossing battle. He stood on the shore and watched Fang Xie slash the other party's flag, and couldn't help but shout in his heart. But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the rebel cavalry of the brigade behind Fang Xie rushing over.

"Ballista!"

Liu Kuo climbed the high slope, pointed to the opposite horse team and shouted: "Let me put the cavalry on the opposite side over!" ”

With his order, a dozen huge crossbow arrows roared towards the other side of the river. Heavy crossbow, steel is sharp, iron is feather, and the shaft of the arrow is the thickness of a calf. The crossbow carts made by the Great Sui's workshop can easily send heavy crossbows to a distance of 500 meters. More than a dozen heavy crossbows shot straight at the opposite bank, and then slowly arced and began to fall.

The rebel cavalry immediately went into disarray, shouting and dodging.

And the rebel infantry running on the shore bore the brunt, a rebel soldier heard the wind while running, subconsciously looked up, only to raise his head and see that he didn't know anything when it was dark, the heavy crossbow easily knocked his head off his body, unloaded half of the second rebel's shoulder without slowing down, and then got into the chest of the third person with the corpse still flying forward, until the heavy crossbow squeezed three corpses before stopping.

A heavy crossbow burrowed through one side of the horse's body and out from the other, leaving a huge hideous and terrifying wound on the horse's stomach. After the iron feather passed through the body of the warhorse, the wound left behind looked like a three-petaled flower blooming on the horse's belly.

The horse neighed in pain and fell to one side, blood cascading out of the wound. The cavalry who was crushed under the war horse wailed with the war horse, and the heavy body of the war horse crushed his thigh, and he could not pull it out no matter how much he struggled.

"Don't mess around!"

Li Hao, the cavalry general of the rebels, loudly restrained the soldiers: "The Sui army has only a dozen ballistas, and the loading speed is also very slow, don't be afraid." Surrounding those Sui troops on the shore, they didn't dare to fire crossbow arrows anymore. Keep an eye on the one in black, and catch him is a great achievement! ”

The cavalrymen struggled to hold on to their horses and regroup, and then rushed towards them.

At this time, the three of Da Dog and Mu Xiaoyi, who had been dodging for a while before rushing to the Yellow Cow River, immediately changed their faces after seeing the scene in front of them.

"You're waiting here!"

Mu Xiaoxiao shouted to Wan Yan Yunshu, jumped down from the high slope and rushed to the river. Wanyan Yunshu didn't pay attention to it at all, and ran forward behind Mu Xiao's waist.

"Don't you want to live!"

The big dog caught up with her and shouted.

"I am the princess of Beiliao, and our people have never had a coward, whether it is a man or a 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 just as much! ”

The big dog jumped up and grabbed the neck of a rebel soldier from behind and tore it out, and the rebel soldier's neck was immediately torn open by the steel claws, revealing Bai Sensen's bones, and the severed arteries sprayed out thick blood mist, and the soldier lost his life before he could even let out a wail.

The big dog took out the horizontal knife from the corpse and handed it to Wan Yan Yunshu: "No one can take care of you!" ”

Wan Yan Yunshu picked his chin and said, "I'll do it myself!" ”

The three of them rushed forward against the flow of the rebels, and those rebel infantry had already occupied their entire brains with panic, and there were still people willing to stay and continue to fight, so the speed of the three of them was not slow at all. The big dog glanced back at Wan Yan Yunshu from time to time, and found that this woman was actually good at martial arts.

Wanyan Yunshu has no routine to speak of, and it is completely based on needs. The Northern Liao people, a people who grew up in the extremely cold 100,000 mountains, far surpassed the Mengyuan people in terms of bravery. They are a nation of men and women who have been fighting against nature since birth. Constantly facing the dangerous environment and oppression from the Mengyuan, if it were not for the fact that the population of this ethnic group has been small, it would not be easy for the Mengyuan people to subdue the Northern Liao.

Wanyan Yunshu's knife is very targeted, and he only attacks fatal places. This is a unique habit of the Northern Liao people, whether it is hunting in the mountains or facing the enemy, it will never leave the opponent a chance to counterattack. In their opinion, the enemy, like the ferocious beast, must be killed with a single blow.

Mu Xiao's waist was spread out by a zhang of red silk, which could be attacked from a distance or defended at close range, she went all the way forward, and the rebel soldiers on the way were sent to hell by red silk.

Because of the ballista on the opposite bank, Fang Xie threw the rebel cavalry away for a while. He rushed to Zhuo Buyi and the others not far away, jumped off his horse, and looked at the cavalry of the rebels in the distance who had assembled for the second time.

"Hurry up and cross the river!"

He took the rope from Zhuo Buyi's hand and let out a loud shout.

With his feet on the ground, he stepped out of a deep pit on the ground, pulled the rope and withdrew more than a dozen steps in a row, straightened the rope and tied it to a big tree: "Quick! Don't waste time! ”

He finished shouting, but found that no one moved, whether it was Zhuo Buyi or the ten people in the camp.

"Or let's go together."

Zhuo Buyi took a few steps forward and picked up a horizontal knife from the ground: "Either die together." ”

……

……

Zhuo Buyi and Chungu didn't leave, because they all knew that those who stayed to guard the rope would definitely die.

"If you want to live......

Zhuo Buyi took a few steps forward, stood beside Fang Xie and said in a flat tone: "Then you can only trust Liu Kuo and Chen Yishan, if the army of the Great Sui does not kill them, some of us will definitely die." If the man guarding the rope dies in battle, and the rebels cut the rope, the people in the river will not survive. ”

"What the fuck do you know!"

Fang Xie scolded angrily: "This is not the time for Jianghu guests to talk about righteousness, this is the battlefield!" It's one to live, get out! ”

Zhuo Buyi shook his head: "I'm not a soldier, but I'm your friend." I don't understand what war is, but I know what it means not to leave my companions behind. ”

Fang Xie had to say that Chun Gu and the others had already come over. Ten people stood in positions and protected Fang Xie 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 are not ...... enough."

Chun Gu smiled: "We haven't killed enough yet, if we will die today, then at least everyone will have to pull dozens of people on their backs." From the day we put on the Mingguang armor and took over the Da Mo knife from the prince's hand, we have been waiting for this day. It's just killing, that's what we do best. ”

Fang Xie was stunned, and then cut the rope with a knife: "Then let's die together." ”

At this moment, the figures of those border troops in Fan Gucheng reappeared in his mind. When he left, 800 border troops were slaughtered. At that time, they were all surrounded by comrades, and they were never separated. And now, Fang Xie was also surrounded by his comrades, and this time, he decided not to separate again.

People are sometimes so strange that he has spared his life for more than ten years.

But at such a moment, he realized that what he had been afraid of was not terrible at all.

After fighting for more than ten years, even if you lose everything you have gained at this moment, it seems that there is no pity.

He tightened his grip on the morning knife, his eyes clear.

The cavalry of the rebels reorganized their formation and rushed over again, and in front of them were Mu Xiaoyi's three people.

"Go behind us, with a bow and arrow!"

Fang Xie shouted loudly.

Mu Xiaoxiao and the three of them picked up the bows and arrows discarded by the rebels from the ground, and then rushed to the back of the plum blossom formation. The big dog used to be the prince of the Shang Kingdom, and archery was originally something to be practiced since childhood, and it was no stranger. However, Mu Xiaowaist had never touched it, 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 the palm of her hand. She can't shoot arrows, but she can't stone people to death.

I have to say that Wanyan Yunshu is really surprising.

Her archery skills are accurate enough to put most well-trained soldiers to shame.

Every arrow sent can tear a rebel off his horse.

At a distance, the three of them killed a dozen rebels, and the horse team came closer. Chun Gu, who was standing at the front, raised her eyebrows, turned sideways to let go of the horizontal knife approved by the cavalry, and the big Mo knife in her hand slashed diagonally, slashing in from the shoulder of the rebel soldier and out from under the ribs on one side.

Half of the rebel's body slipped off his horse, and his slimy entrails fell to the ground. The intestines hung in the saddle, and the blood was pulled out for a long time.

The butcher blocked a knife for Chungu, and then swept the Da Mo knife sideways, and the front legs of the two horses were cut off together, and the knight on horseback pounced before he had time to react. Fang Xie took out a knife from behind the butcher and chopped off the head of the soldier who fell to the ground: "Don't worry about the one who lands, Mr. Zhuo and I will kill it!" ”

He shouted loudly, and the ten elites of the battalion agreed neatly.

A rebel lieutenant lifted his horse and tried to step it off with his front hooves. Chun Gu shouted, the big Mo knife was raised high, and with a poof, the Mo knife split the captain on the horseback into two pieces, and the blade did not stop and directly cut off the neck of the war horse, and 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 they were bathed in a rain of blood.

Crowd split!

Five or six cavalrymen were overturned by Da Mo's sword one after another, and the cavalry behind them had been blocked and could not exert their impact. Li Hao ordered loudly and asked those cavalrymen to throw the spears in their hands as throwing guns. In an instant, hundreds of throwing guns smashed into the plum blossom formation like a rainstorm.

Mu Xiaoxiao unfolded the red silk from behind, and swept away more than a dozen throwing guns, but he couldn't block them all. And at this time, Zhuo Buyi, who had not moved, opened his eyes violently!

The dozens of rebel cavalry at the front suddenly froze, and some of them couldn't move while still throwing their guns!

His forehead was covered with sweat, he had already spent a lot of internal energy to respond to the camp before, and this time he was already a little powerless, if it was in his heyday, there would be no problem with holding a hundred people.

"Kill!"

Fang Xie swung his knife away from the throwing gun, and then strode forward. The Da Mo knife for the camp was too heavy to dance flexibly to block all the guns, so there were a lot of guns that hit the bodies of everyone in the camp, but even though the guns were heavy, they still couldn't break through the armor of the bright light! The tip of the spear rubbed a spark on the armor, and it looked like there was a different kind of dazzling beauty.

At this time, Fang Xie is the eye of the formation, and he moved forward when he moved forward. Ten Da Mo knives turned away like windmills, rushing over and scrapping the dozens of people who were fixed at the front to chop melons and vegetables. After the killing, Fang Xie did not fall in love, and immediately took the plum blossoms and retreated.

Li Hao's face changed, and he couldn't help but spit: "Hit forward, even if you can't get them alive, you have to knock them into the river and drown!" ”

There were too many dead men, and his eyes had begun to redden.

At this moment, the sound of a whining horn came from the high slope behind him. Li Hao turned around and looked over, only to see a dense crowd of people and horses coming out from behind the high slope. At the front, a dark green flag is embroidered with a red Yin character. Look at the number of people and horses, it is densely packed with tens of thousands!

"The general is here in person, don't lose face!"

Li Hao shouted loudly, and then pointed the horizontal knife forward: "Kill them all!" ”

Fang Jie's heart couldn't help but sink when he saw the rebel brigade arrive, he looked sideways at the opposite bank, the pontoon bridge had been half erected, and there was still at least a hundred and fifty meters away from this side. The black-armored soldiers in the left front were still struggling to fight, but it looked like it was too late.

The bridge is there, but where is the way back?

PS: I'm going to visit relatives today, and the next chapter update time is uncertain, but there should be.
