Chapter 58 - An Iceberg
"Lord Wang, we won, we won!"
The rebels' frontal attack was shattered by Zhao Fan, and Sun Ru, who was unwilling to lose, organized a surprise attack again, but the final assault still ended in failure.
The 30,000 cavalry who launched the attack suffered more than 8,000 casualties in a short period of time, most of the cavalry died from Zhao Fanjun's bow and crossbow, and a small part of the cavalry was trampled to death by the hooves of their own people, and more than 1,000 people were seriously injured and lay on the ground groaning, and the rest all retracted into the valley.
As for the wounded soldiers on the ground, Zhao Fan was very merciful and gave them a good time.
Xu Yong rushed to Zhao Fan excitedly, his face was flushed with excitement, his hands were dancing, and he was a little helpless holding Zhao Fan's shoulder, wanting to say what to write, but he couldn't say anything.
The bearded Scar and others also surrounded each other, hugging each other and carnivaling, as for Zhao Fan, he was lifted up by the soldiers and thrown into the sky.
Qiao Xinchao quietly covered his swollen face that was beaten by Zhao Fan, watching everyone celebrate their hard-won victory, with a look of relief in his eyes.
The soldiers on the side collected some flammable items on the spot, lit a fire on the spot, and some soldiers took out their knives one after another, collected the corpses of the war horses, and started to make barbecue on the spot.
……
"I said that there was an ambush, there was an ambush, but I didn't listen to me, now it's okay, it's blocked in this ghost place, it's called every day, and it's called that the earth is not working" Ma Jianying counted the casualties of the soldiers, and couldn't help but pour out a mouthful or two, and the 30,000 army lost nearly 10,000!
Ma Jianying is different from Li Congli, Li Congli is the commander of the infantry, and Ma Jianying is the commander of the cavalry, in fact, these cavalry are his Ma Jianying's soldiers, so he will feel distressed if he dies, otherwise he will not always oppose coming to attack Luoyang City.
After all, Ma Yin is Sun Ru's brother-in-law and Li Congli's good brother, but he has nothing to do with him Ma Jianying.
For a person who has nothing to do with him, he came to fight this inexplicable account, Ma Jianying was on fire when he thought about it, and now he has even lost one-third of his brother, so he can't figure it out.
"General Ma, what nonsense are you talking about? Entering this valley is not our consideration, but General Li has already died in battle, and it makes sense for you to say this now? Sun Ru glanced at Ma Jianying unhappily, patted the table and said.
Ma Jianying glanced at Sun Ru and did not speak.
Anyway, he Ma Jianying was picked up by Sun Ru, and he has always been as close as father and son, without Sun Ru, he would not be where he is today, so even if he is a little unhappy, Ma Jianying can only swallow it in his heart.
"Dashuai, what should we do now? It seems that there is no way to go ahead, and I can't imagine that this Shouwang Army's repeater crossbow is so strange and can exude such a powerful attack power. Ma Jianying twitched his face and asked in a low voice.
"I wonder what General Ma's good plan is?" Sun Ru sighed helplessly and asked in a deep voice.
"I'll wait and go back to the entrance, clear the big rocks at the entrance, and go back to the camp to make plans."
"That's all there is to it." At this moment, Sun Ru has long lost the vigor when he set off, if he hadn't been slow and left behind just now, I am afraid that he would have followed Li Congli and become a revenant under the arrow.
After resting for a while, the army set off in the direction of the entrance, and arrived at the valley in half an hour, but the scene of the previous year did surprise everyone.
I saw that the original entrance had been completely sealed at this time, and countless fallen rocks and crosslogs were thrown together, with a layer of snow on it, even giving people the illusion that this was originally a mountain, not an entrance.
"This?" Sun Ru looked at the pile of rocks like a high mountain, and couldn't help but change his face, and hurriedly rushed forward to grab a stone, trying to move it away, but found that the stone had frozen and was firmly stuck with other stones.
"Ah!! King Shou, you !! who kills a thousand knives ”
……
At this moment, the initiator of this stone iceberg is walking on the way back to Luoyang City with hundreds of soldiers and people humming a little song.
Because he didn't receive Qiao Xinchao's order to change his tactics, this young general called Fu Qinghe faithfully executed the predetermined order - to block Taniguchi firmly!
Before leaving, Fu Qinghe was even more uneasy, and deliberately stuffed all kinds of sundries into the cracks of the stone mountain, and finally melted the ice water and poured it down from above, which was considered to be relieved.
At this moment, he didn't know how much trouble his actions had brought to Sun Rujun, and he just wanted to return to Luoyang City to make his wife and children hot kang.
……
"Shuai, this... What to do? Ma Jianying looked at the high iceberg in a daze, and said in disbelief.
"What else can I do, turn the horse's head and kill it from the exit." Sun Ru glared at Ma Jianying viciously, and said angrily.
"But the Luoyang Army's bow and crossbow are so powerful, the brothers really can't hold it!" Ma Jianying frowned and said helplessly.
"So what else do you think we can do? What else can I do? Do you all dismount and climb out of here? Sun Ru scolded angrily.
"That's better than going to die..."
Just when Ma Jianying wanted to argue about something, a personal soldier behind Ma Jianying couldn't help but murmur.
"What did you say?" Sun Ru angrily drew his long sword and pointed at the pro-soldier and said.
"Am I not right? What kind of Luoyang City did you come to fight for no reason, and you didn't listen to the advice and rushed into this valley, now it's okay, you still want to take our brother's life in exchange for a chance to escape for your life? The soldier also let go, grabbed the helmet on his head and threw it to the ground, and said angrily.
"His life is his life, your life is his life, isn't our life our life? Why? ”
"You, you, you... Good thief, look at the sword! ”
said that it was too late and that was fast, Sun Ru was angry, picked up his long sword and stabbed at the pro-soldier, and in an instant, blood splashed everywhere, and the pro-soldier died on the spot.
"Dashuai, you!" Ma Jianying's eyes widened angrily, and he said with some surprise.
He didn't expect that Sun Ru would kill people if he killed people, which gave him no chance to react.
This pro-soldier is not an ordinary pro-soldier, but the son of the uncle next door who watched him grow up since he was a child, if it weren't for that uncle, he Ma Jian would have starved to death on the streets.
Before his death, Uncle entrusted his only son to Ma Jianying, and Ma Jianying also regarded him as his own brother, and let him be the captain of his own guard, taking him with him all day long, just for fear that he would have an accident, but he never thought about it...
"What? Do you have an opinion? Sun Ru's eyes were cold, he put the long sword across his chest, wiped the blood stains on it, and said coldly.
The guards behind Sun Ru also put their hands on the hilt of their swords, ready to attack at any time.
