9. The bloody battle of Shanhaiguan

But tonight's battle in Shanhaiguan was unusually fierce.

Under the moonlight, Kublai Khan took the slaves as the forerunner, the Mongol army as the rear army, and Xue Ti Jun as the military judge. ”

I saw tens of thousands of slaves dressed in all kinds of clothes, carrying simple ladders, and holding various weapons, hula and cheer up.

An officer on the upper floor looked at the oncoming army of slaves, and did not panic in the slightest, such a scene had already been seen during the day, and when the army of slaves approached, he calmly spoke: "Archer, aim, release arrows." ”

I saw a small black dot flying out of the upper floor, densely packed, and there was a "whoosh" sound, and suddenly, the slaves below were shot over, and there was a heart-rending scream.

"Release the arrows", "release the arrows", "release the arrows again", the officer said calmly, and the slaves were again killed and wounded, and they screamed, and some of the timid slaves who were about to retreat were immediately killed by the Mongols who rushed up.

A thousand households on a horse shouted loudly: "You lowly slaves, it is the Great Khan who is merciful and forgives your lives, and you dare not fight for the Great Khan with all your heart, it is really unforgivable. ”

"Quick, drive these lowly slaves forward," he said, drawing his scimitar and leading the men to drive the slaves forward.

This time, a new round of offensive and defensive battles began, and even with the addition of the Mongols' return artillery, round after round of flying stones smashed into Shanhaiguan under the moonlight, and the casualties of the defenders in the city further increased.

The Mongols attacked indiscriminately, and the casualties on both sides were further increased, and the corpses of slaves were piled up at the foot of Shanhaiguan. As soon as the flying stone smashed on the Shanhaiguan, more than a dozen people were injured or killed in an instant, and there was blood everywhere in the city and under the city, and it was bloody, so it was not scary!

The bright moonlight shines on this land, the corpse mountain and the sea of blood, the iron and fire break the spear, one side attacks, one side defends, each other is tugging, fighting, stalemate, both sides do not give in, this is the contest between iron and fire, this is the helplessness and luck of the men on the battlefield, this is the battle for the survival of the nomads and the farming people, and this is also the contest between the Great Khan and the emperor!

At this time, Shanhaiguan is the closest place between life and death, he lives and dies, there is no compromise, there is no room for luck, everything looks so natural, only the sound of killing each other between heaven and earth, this is the collision of life and life!

Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs.

At this time, in a city tower in Shanhaiguan, an old general with sharp edges and corners, gray hair, and a vicissitudes of life, dressed in black iron armor, sat on the top, ignoring the blood stains on his body, under the dim oil lamp, he was trying to wipe the blood stains on the sword, without saying a word!

A burly and tall young general, dressed in black armor and with a dark complexion, sat at the bottom of the head, and said angrily: "Dad, do you think we can hold Shanhaiguan?" ”

The general sitting at the top was Zhang Yu, the guard general of Shanhaiguan, and when the old general heard this, he glared at the young general fiercely, this is his eldest son Zhang Tie, and reprimanded: "In the army, calling me a general is not commensurate with father and son!" ”

He also said: "How can you not hold it, Shanhaiguan has 80,000 elite soldiers, abundant materials, we are the main guard, how can these slaves break through Shanhaiguan, these words that shake the morale of the army, don't say it again, otherwise you will not be spared." Wait, the war has just begun, this is Kublai Khan's consumption of the defenders of Shanhaiguan, and the battle will be the most tragic tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, how have you dolls ever seen an iron-blooded battlefield. ”

Zhang Tie was immediately stunned, and he didn't dare to speak.

Zhang Yu didn't care about him, so he said directly: "At this time, the center is afraid that he already knows my situation, there will be reinforcements within seven days, as long as we hold for six days, the reinforcements from the court will definitely arrive." ”

Zhang Tie listened, nodded, and said: "I know this, it's just that the new emperor has just ascended the throne, and the country is unstable, but I don't know how many reinforcements will be sent. ”

Zhang Yu listened and said, "Yes, your kid has grown up." ”

Zhang Tie smiled when he heard this.

Zhang Yu said with some worry: "It seems that reinforcements can only come from Yanjing." ”

"But, no matter what, we have to defend Shanhaiguan, even if we die, we will die in Shanhaiguan!"

"Twenty years, this general has been guarding Shanhaiguan for 20 years, three dynasties and no decline, the court is worthy of my Zhang family, the big cadres are worthy of my Zhang family, and my Zhang Yu is also worthy of the court and the big cadres."

"I have been loyal to Daqian all my life, even if I die, I will die in this Shanhaiguan!"

"Besides, as a warrior, dying in battle, and shrouding the body of horse leather is the highest glory!"

……

At this time, the battle was about to start fiercely at Shanhaiguan, and the Mongols personally went down, by the night, by the firelight, mixed among the slaves, with the help of the ladder, desperately attacking the city!

The flying stone gradually weakened, and after a few clicks from time to time, Zhang Yu stood under the eaves of the city, with a serious face, and shouted: "Attention, the Mongols are coming." ”

By the moonlight and the firelight on the city, Zhang Yu saw a group of people in the dark, who were quickly approaching the city wall, and Zhang Yu said calmly: "Bow and arrow preparation."

"Shoot."

I saw a black arrow flying quickly downward, and suddenly there was a scream.

"Ready", "Shoot".

Another black arrow shot downwards, and another scream was heard.

"Ready", "Shoot".

Another black arrow shot downward, and suddenly there was another scream.

After a while, the Mongols finally approached the city wall, set up a ladder, and climbed up the cloud.

"Quick, golden juice, pour it down." Zhang Yu spoke calmly again.

The sergeants hurriedly picked up the cauldron and poured down the ladder, and suddenly there was a heart-rending scream from below.

"Be careful not to let the Mongols climb the walls." Zhang Yu said calmly again.

Suddenly, from under the city walls to above the city, it became a battlefield for both sides, scimitars against long knives, bows and arrows against bows and arrows...... The two sides fought each other bloodily together, leaving no hands behind, and there was no need to leave hands.

Both sides are opponents, but also have a deep blood feud, as a border soldier from the Shanhaiguan garrison, which family has no relatives and friends died in the hands of the Mongols, some people die of their fathers and sons, brothers die of brothers, so everyone fights bravely, not afraid of life and death!

The same is true of the Mongols, who have fought several times with the Great Qian, and I don't know how many of their siblings died at the hands of the Great Qianren.

Therefore, both sides have their own hatred, regard each other as enemies of life and death, regard each other as enemies, but the knife involuntarily goes to the other party!

The war is getting more and more intense, more and more tragic, and even the moonlight is miserable and white.

I saw a soldier from the Northland, whose left hand was cut off, but he didn't say a word, and rolled down the wall with the Mongolian soldier who had just climbed the wall; And he saw a soldier climb up to the eaves of the wall, and as soon as he pushed the ladder down, an arrow flew from a distance, and struck him head-on, and he planted himself head-on; A Mongolian soldier had just climbed the city wall, and in order to protect this opening, he used his body to protect the ladder, even if he was hacked to death with a knife, he still grabbed the ladder with one hand......

……

Kublai Khan, who was in the distance, was surrounded not far from Shanhaiguan, holding a telescope in his hand, carefully looking at the entire battlefield, and saw that the Mongol soldiers could not attack for a long time.

Then he spoke: "Order the return cannon to give me an indiscriminate attack, and I will exhaust the living force of Shanhaiguan." ”

One of the guards answered the order.

After a while, I saw stones flying up in the sky, smashing towards the entire Shanhaiguan City, and suddenly, there were heavy casualties on Shanhaiguan, and there were enemies and me.

Kublai Khan looked at all this, but laughed.

Zhang Yu on Guancheng had red eyes, a pair of tiger eyes widened, and roared angrily: "Quick, use fire oil." ”

Immediately, the sergeants poured the oil down the ladder.

"Ignition."

All of a sudden, the fire burned brighter and louder, and at once the attackers and defenders were cut off, and the Mongol soldiers who climbed the city wall were soon hacked to death with swords, and all of a sudden, the whole city fell silent.

……

The sky gradually brightened, and the sun showed half of its body from the mountain, and the sunlight shone on the entire Shanhaiguan, shining with a layer of golden light.

The battle is over for the time being!

Kublai Khan rode on his horse, walked out of the big array, and shouted: "Where is the old general Zhang Yu?" ”

Zhang Yu stood on the wall, and when he saw Kublai Khan, he showed his body and said loudly: "I'm here, what's the matter with you?" ”

Kublai Khan looked at Zhang Yu and said: "Old General Zhang Yu, I have heard the name of the general for a long time, and today I see that it is really worthy of the name, the general has been stationed in this Shanhaiguan for 20 years, there is no merit and hard work, the royal family of Daqian is about to forget you, as long as you surrender to me, I will crown you as the king, we will enter the Shanhaiguan and destroy the Daqian, how?" ”

"Hahahaha, I'm Zhang Yu, I'm a big guy in life, and I'm a ghost in dying! Kublai Khan, the Great Khan, don't play these tongues, let's tackle the problem quickly! Zhang Yu said.

"Aren't you afraid of death? When I break through the Shanhaiguan, there will be no chickens and dogs left in the pass, aren't you afraid? ”

"Born in He Huan, died in He Fear! Born in the great Qian, long in the great Qian, should die for the great Qian, loyal to the country, loyal to the saint, this is the creed of our martial arts' life, both born as a great general, death is also a horse leather shroud! I Zhang Yu has lived my life, and I have no regrets about being born in Daqian! Zhang Yu roared angrily.

"Rectify the big cadres and go to the national disaster together.

Blood is not shed, and death is not a truce

……”

Zhang Yu roared again, and the defenders of Chengguan also roared loudly: "Go to the national disaster together." Blood will not be shed, death will not be truce......"

The louder you roar, the louder you roar, the more neat you are, revealing a momentum of giving up who you are, revealing a heroic spirit that is not afraid of life and death!

When Kublai Khan heard this, he rode his horse back into the battle and said, "Zhang Yu, a brave general, a loyal minister; Dry soldiers, elite soldiers! ”

"Tackling key problems." Kublai Khan waved his hand.

The soldiers below rushed up.

The Battle of Shanhaiguan has begun again!
