22. Decisive victory
With the old witch shouting, the residual wine she spilled was directly spilled on Niu Fu's face. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The spicy residual wine was splashed on Niu Fu's face, stimulating Niu Fu's eyes, mouth, mouth and nose, choking Niu Fu and coughing repeatedly, so he was not embarrassed.
The old witch put down the wine urn in her hand, and looked at it all with a cold eye.
Niu Fu coughed for a while, and then slowly came back to his senses, and saw that the old witch was looking at him coldly, and his scalp was numb with those strange eyes, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and quickly wiped the wine from his face, and hurriedly asked inarticulately:
"Master, why are you here?"
The old witch heard Niu Fu's daily respectful salutation, and also put up a shelf, snorted coldly, and then said slowly:
"I just heard the general's guards say that the general was drunk and made a sword, and the old man came in a hurry, but he saw that the general was confused, blasphemous, and suspected of demonic abuse, so he cast a spell and expelled him, does the general still remember what happened to Fang Cai?"
Seeing the old witch say solemnly, Niu Fu couldn't help but be frightened in his heart, he recalled his words and deeds just now, and vaguely remembered that there seemed to be something wrong with the old witch's words, but he wanted to dig deeper, and the more he thought about it, the more he had a headache, and he couldn't grasp any points.
The old witch saw that Niu Fu bowed her head and said nothing, and she didn't allow him to think about it, and continued to say solemnly:
"The general is worried about the military situation, so he is restless, and he is taken advantage of by demons and abuse, and in a trance, it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false, and it is okay."
After a pause, and after seeing that Niu Fu seemed to react, the old witch continued:
"The general had to be old and decrepit, all of them were auspicious, and their hexagrams were the sixth hexagram of Xun, advancing and retreating, and the chastity of the martial arts. The general should not be suspicious, the will of the gods, there will never be any mistakes. ”
Niu Fu was a little embarrassed, and could only nod weakly.
When the old witch saw Ushisuke nodding, she curled the corners of her mouth slightly with satisfaction, and a smile appeared on her face, as if the wrinkles on her face were about to crack. Just looked at the messy lobby, her face darkened again, and she said to Niu Fu again:
"If the general is not happy in his heart, why should he use wine to dispel his sorrows, although the old and decayed apprentices are not successful, but they are also good people, after the mediation of the old decay, they can best eliminate worries for people, why don't the generals go with the old decay to meet them!"
Niu Fu was very hot when he heard the female apprentices of her stunners that the old witch had put away, but he immediately thought of the current war, at this time the military situation was so critical, as the chief general of the army, where did he dare to have such thoughts, so he had to refuse awkwardly.
The two of them talked a few more words, and after looking at Niu Suke, who continued to show respect for the gods, the old witch took his leave satisfied. Seeing the old witch's somewhat slender body gradually walking away, the light in the eyes of Niu Fu, who was squirting with wine, became a little sluggish again, and he muttered to himself, as if he was questioning, and as if he was comforting himself.
"Xunfeng, the sixth day of the first month, advance and retreat, the chastity of the martial arts."
···
The valley pass of the White Wave Valley has finally been breached.
At first, although he saw the cavalry of the Han army pouring into the Han army from the Gukou mountain road, and there were a large number of his own soldiers who had become prisoners of the other party, the Bai Bo soldiers who defended the pass were also frightened, and when they saw the Han knights throwing the heads cut off last night at the pass, they were even more instantly chaotic, plus there were some Bai Bo prisoners who ran to the pass and loudly advised the defenders to surrender, which suddenly reduced the morale of the Bai Bo soldiers who defended the pass to the lowest point, and even some soldiers were ready to escape.
However, after Bai Bo Qu Shuai cut down two soldiers who tried to escape, Bai Bo soldiers had to take up arms and prepare for battle, even if they trembled and were forced by the bloody sword.
Therefore, Xu Kun, who was already determined to take the pass at a huge price, immediately ordered to drive those prisoners of the Baibo army to attack the pass, and the commander of Baibo Qu, who was defending the pass, also ordered loudly that no matter whether it was friend or foe, once it approached, wood and stone would fall.
A bloody and cruel battle was launched, on the narrow mountain road, the Han cavalry in armor and soldiers also had to dismount, walk on their backs, drive the Baibo prisoners forward, and the condescending Baibo soldiers were on the wall of the pass, shooting arrows and throwing stones, blocking the advance of the attacking crowd, and the Baibo prisoners who were pushed to the front suffered heavy casualties, and the wailing resounded through the valley.
Ci is not in charge of the troops, and Yan Xing must not be merciful at this time. He and Xu Kun continued to let the soldiers drive the prisoners of the Bai Bo army in batches to attack in turn, and first used these prisoners to consume the arrows, wood and stones and physical strength of the defending Bai Bo soldiers.
When nearly a thousand Baibo captives were almost killed or wounded, the rain of arrows, wood and stones on the valley pass were also sparse a lot, so Xu Kun and Yan Xing also began to launch a general attack.
Cao Yuan, who had previously asked to attack the pass first, took Meng Tu, Wei Xuan and the first wave of Han soldiers to push it up with a big canopy, trying to set fire to destroy the fence at the gap, but Bai Boqu Shuai quickly used sand and other materials to extinguish the flames, and Cao Yuan and others stalemate at the gap.
Cao Yuan and others finally took advantage of the lives of so many prisoners of the Baibo Army, and only then did they expend most of the enemy's energy at the pass and successfully pushed it in front of the fence at the gap.
Cao Kite because he had asked for battle in front of Yan Xing, so his attitude was the most intense, he drew his sword and charged forward, killing several thieves one after another, and seeing that he was about to successfully open the gap, at this time, Bai Bo Qushuai, who was still fighting in the beast, also found Cao Kite who shouted loudly to motivate the soldiers, so he mobilized the remaining archers and fired arrows at Cao Kite together.
Although there are soldiers around him holding a big sword to protect him, but Cao Yuan, who is in front of the position, is still hit by an arrow in his left shoulder, although he acts steadily, but he also knows that if there is the slightest hesitation to retreat at this time, he will immediately be pushed down by the counterattacking Bai Bo soldiers, and so many lives have been wasted in vain.
Therefore, Cao Yuan broke the shaft of the arrow and continued to order to rush and kill, Meng Tu and Wei Xuan also held swords and shields, desperately moving forward. Yan Xing, who was watching them charge below, was afraid that they would lose, so he hurriedly gathered a second wave of troops, led by Ma Lin and Gan Ling, and rushed towards the pass.
Cao Yuan and others, who were supported by the new force, were greatly boosted, the gap was successfully opened, and a large area of the fence was knocked down, but Bai Bo Qushuai also knew that it was a matter of life and death, and he also threw himself into the battle group with the only remaining personal guards, and the situation was once again deadlocked.
Nearly 1,000 Baibo defenders have all pressed up, Xu Kun and Yan Xing also sent 400 soldiers to attack the gap, the Han army is like a rainbow, and the Baibo army occupies a numerical advantage, and the soldiers on both sides are fighting together, and no one is willing to take half a step back at the narrow mountain road.
In view of this, Xu Kun and Yan Xing also fought hard, pressing all the remaining troops of less than 100 people who were originally pressing the formation and responding, and continued to support the Baibo defenders who attacked the gap.
In the rear formation, watching the fierce battle between the enemy and us, Xu Huang, who was temporarily supplemented as Yan Xing's personal guard, was so excited that his hair erupted, he generously asked for an order, and took thirty soldiers to take the head of Bai Bo Qu Shuai in the crowd, and after receiving Yan Xing's encouragement and praise, Xu Huang, who was wearing two layers of armor and holding a heavy axe, took the lead, and rushed into the crowd in front of thirty warriors, and ran in the direction where Bai Bo Qu Shuai was.
Xu Huang is strong and strong, and his strength is outstanding, so he can wear two layers of armor and still walk like a fly. His eyes were firmly fixed on Bai Bo Qu Shuai, who was still dead and not retreating, and he kept walking in the crowd, only protecting the vital parts of his body, and he was not afraid of Bai Bo's soldiers' blades, his two layers of armor were thick, even if the armor was broken, it still could not cause fatal damage, plus he held the heavy weapon of the big axe in his hand, in the melee, this kind of equipment like an ironclad beast immediately showed its might.
Wherever the heavy axe passed, the Bai Bo soldiers who blocked the way were all separated from their limbs, even if they used a big spear and ran into Xu Huang rushing into battle, they couldn't help it. Xu Huang's big axe swung one after another, cutting off several spears that stretched out and spike one after another, and then took advantage of the gap that appeared in the opponent's broken spear, relying on the thick armor on his body, a charge, using a huge momentum to crash through the shield, slashing horizontally and vertically, and killing a bloody path.
Seeing Xu Huang so ferocious, the thirty soldiers who followed him also rushed forward and fiercely attacked the crumbling front of the Bai Bo Army. And Cao Yuan, Meng Tu, Wei Xuan, Ma Lin, Gan Ling and other soldiers also saw Xu Huang coming from behind, showing his might, forcing Bai Bo's soldiers to retreat one after another, and they were not willing to be left behind, so they rose up and continued to rush to kill the previous and join Xu Huang.
On the contrary, there were more than a dozen Bai Bo soldiers who blocked the road and died under Xu Huang's big axe, and the more they went to the back, the fewer Bai Bo soldiers dared to step forward again, they were frightened and kept starting to retreat, even if Bai Bo Qu Shuai held a blood-dripping sword and slashed the head of a retreating soldier, he couldn't stop them from retreating and escaping.
The Bai Bo Qu Shuai saw this heavily armored and blood-soaked killing god constantly slashing his soldiers to the ground, and the soldiers holding big spears in front of him were also like local chickens and tile dogs, and they collapsed at the first touch, so frightened that other soldiers did not dare to come forward to fight, knowing that if it were not for the narrow mountain road at the pass, the enemy army would not have advanced quickly to expand the gap, and his own retreat could not continue to retreat, his own side would have been defeated a long time ago, and the soldiers would have dispersed and fled.
At present, being forced to such a point, the dangerous place of the pass has been occupied by most of the Han soldiers, and their defenders only have such a corner left to defend, if they retreat, the whole natural danger will be handed over to the Han army, and when the time comes, it is the Han army that is condescending, and it is their own side that is waiting to be killed.
Knowing that the defeat of the situation in front of him was decided, but he had to support the retreat of his own relatives in the valley for a while, Bai Boqu Shuai, regardless of the blood flowing from several wounds on his body, shouted loudly to one of his personal guards:
"You take people to set fires, use fire to block the attack of the Han army, let the old and weak in the valley step up their retreat, and the others are not allowed to retreat, follow me, fight to the death, fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
The bravery of Bai Boqu Shuai, who once again charged ahead, infected some soldiers around him, who were originally civilian leaders who guarded themselves, if they were not forced to have no way out by this world, how could they choose such a dangerous thing as occupying the mountain and causing trouble, and now the way of life is bleak, it is better to die a heroic death, so that their families can be evacuated smoothly.
Some Bai Bo soldiers rushed up with Qu Shuai, Xu Huang saw Bai Bo Qu Shuai who was rushing at the forefront, his heart was overjoyed, he roared, pounced on him, jumped up, and raised a big axe to roll up a gust of wind, and slashed towards Bai Bo Qu Shuai who was the leader.
