Text Section 49 The Silent Brave

In the Yushan Guanfu Ya, five hundred black-armored guards were waiting for them. At this time, Duan Lang ordered the gathering, and even Liu Xusheng and Cui Zhiliang didn't know what major situation had happened.

He Lianjia, the defender of the city, stood weakly behind Zhang Ruming, he didn't dare to imagine what would happen next. After being a guard at Yushan Pass for all these years, He Lianjia had the idea of escaping from Yushan Pass for the first time.

"Lord Qincha, you have to think twice, if you are sued by the Ministry of War, even if you have the sword of Shang Fang, I am afraid it will be useless. When the time comes, once Your Majesty is angry, this ~ this is a big crime. He Lianjia painstakingly made the last persuasion.

Zhang Ruming turned around and snorted coldly, "I don't know if Your Majesty is angry or not, but now Lao Tzu is very angry, and I must give the bastard surnamed Hu a little color." Commander Duan ordered the pull-out. ”

"Wait a minute!" Duan Lang glanced at Zhang Ruming, "This matter~ To be honest, I have some selfish intentions, so I must explain it clearly to my brothers." Maybe many people will die at the city gate, and if I don't make it clear, I won't feel at ease even when I get to Jiuquan. ”

Zhang Ruming was stunned and immediately understood what Duan Lang meant. Zhang Ruming hurriedly whispered, "With me with you, what are you talking nonsense, everything is Ben Qincha's order." In addition, if something really happens, don't make a fool of yourself, this Shang Fang Sword will definitely be able to cover you. ”

Duan Lang patted Zhang Ruming's shoulder gratefully, and turned around and walked towards the assembled team. Zhang Ruming sighed secretly, he knew Duan Lang's donkey temper, and sometimes he couldn't pull it up.

He Lianjia opened his mouth in surprise, a small commander, actually patted Qincha's shoulder like a Shangguan, was he dazzled? At this moment, He Lianjia realized that the relationship between Duan Lang and Zhang Ruming was extraordinary, and it was not the master-servant relationship he imagined at all.

Duan Lang stood on the stone steps, looked at everyone with a cold gaze, hugged his fists slightly, and said loudly.

"Brothers, since I became your commander, we have established a friendship along the way. No matter what everyone thinks of me Duan Lang, but tonight I have to say ugly things first. ”

Duan Lang said, and informed Hu Weilin of the surprise attack on the Beiming camp tomorrow. The five hundred black-armored guards all knew that Lord Qincha was trying to broker peace, and when they heard that Hu Weilin was going to raid the Beiming camp, they were in an uproar.

Duan Lang motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then said, "Brothers, after discussion with Lord Qincha, I have decided to hold the city gate and not allow Hu Weilin's army to step out of Yushan Pass. ”

As soon as Duan Lang's heavy cannon was thrown, even Liu Xusheng and Cui Zhiliang were shocked and a little dazed. It's not that they are afraid, it's just that since the establishment of the capital in Great Xia, they haven't heard of the forbidden army blocking the soldiers and horses of the large battalion. Lord Qincha did this, which really set a precedent for the ancestors.

Duan Lang continued, "To be honest, you should know better than me, the military order is unstoppable, we are very risky to do this, and even everyone may die at the city gate. I, Duan Lang, don't want to say anything nice to deceive everyone, because my friend Fang Yan is still in the Beiming camp to promote peace, so I resolutely can't let Hu Weilin's army do this. Whether it's for Daxia or for Fang Yan, I, Duan Lang, must stand up.

Today, I will say a word of overstepping my authority in front of Lord Shangguan, you can not go, I will not blame everyone, let alone be punished for disobeying orders. You decide whether to go or not, and if you go, it is likely that the blood will be spilled at the city gate and it will become an eternal farewell. But if there is anyone who follows me Duan Lang, even if I die in battle tomorrow, I will be a cow and a horse in the next life. ”

Speaking of this, Lang paused slightly, looked at everyone's reactions, "If there is a brother who doesn't go, please stand on the right side." This is not facing enemy soldiers, so I, Duan Lang, have no right to order you to swing your war swords at your own army. Give you ten breaths of time to think about it, it is a matter of life and death, and you will even be charged with a crime, I don't want my brothers to die without knowing it. ”

Zhang Ruming said in his heart that you kid is a tendon, what are you doing with these, just give an order. In case everyone doesn't go, where will Lao Tzu's face go.

Zhang Ruming coughed, stepped forward and said, "Things may not end in the worst way, Lao Tzu has Shang Fang's sword here, so I don't believe that he Hu Weilin dared to give this order." Of course, although Commander Duan has such a little selfishness, this is also for the sake of my Great Xia from the disaster of war, and it is also for the tens of thousands of Li people in Yushan Pass. Therefore, Lord Ben decided to defend the city gate to the death and never allow Hu Weilin to provoke a war. ”

Zhang Ruming's last high-spirited words, I thought there should be applause here. But the five hundred black-armored guards who were pressed by the black pressure were indifferent, and they didn't even applaud them. Zhang Ruming rolled his eyes at Duan Lang in embarrassment, and said in his heart that you are asking for trouble, what should you do now, it is difficult to force Lao Tzu to give an order.

Duan Lang ignored Zhang Ruming and said loudly, "It's time for ten breaths, please make a choice." ”

Liu Xusheng and Cui Zhiliang looked at each other, and the two glanced back at the brothers under them. These words were indeed a little shocking to everyone, and the body did not give them a chance to communicate and discuss.

Looking at everyone's determined gaze, Cui Zhiliang signaled to Liu Xusheng, and Liu Xusheng stepped forward and looked at Duan Lang.

"Commander Duan, listen, although our black-armored guards have not gone through a major battle, when everyone puts on this armor, they vow to sacrifice their lives for their duties at any time. Now, we are the people of the Heavenly Master Temple, but the oath has not changed. In the past, everyone didn't recognize you, because they were afraid that you would fall into the reputation of our Black Armor Guard. Since everyone respectfully calls you a great commander, they treat you as their own. The shield of our Black Armor is not used to protect ourselves, but to protect our brothers around us. This is the performance of a brave man, and only a brave man can be fearless of life and death. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Xusheng clenched his fists, "Commander Duan, give an order, the black armor guard can't do it without an order, and the order must be given." ”

Cui Zhiliang also clenched his fists and said, "Commander Duan, the soldiers and horses in Kyoto all know that the black armor guard is not cowardly. The next time you say that, then you don't see us as brothers. Give the order, the military order is like the spirit of war, and there is no fear of death. ”

"Lord Commander, please order!" The five hundred Black-Armored Guard brothers shouted in unison.

He Lianjia looked at everyone in shock, Duan Lang's eyes were a little red, he didn't expect these black-armored guards who were 'pampered' in Kyoto to behave so calmly in the face of life and death decisions. You must know that to stop Hu Weilin's army without a golden order and an edict is a taboo for soldiers. Once Yu Ban joined forces with the military department and other officials to be held accountable, even Emperor Yuning would not be able to protect him. After all, the Great Xia country still has to rely on the commanders of the major battalions to defend it. So Helianga said that they were going to die by doing so.

The feat of the black armor guard made Zhang Ruming's nose sour. When he was a liar, he thought that only a fool would take the words 'death as home'. Now it seems that there really is a group of such upright fools.

Zhang Ruming took two steps and said excitedly, "Warriors of the Black Armor Guard, you didn't disappoint Lord Ben. From now on, you will be my Shangguan Xuanwu's own brothers. If he Hu Weilin has the ability, he will let the army step over Lao Tzu's head. Grandma's, I want to see if he has the guts. ”

Zhang Ruming's words ushered in a round of applause, and He Lianjia muttered, "Crazy, these people are crazy~!" ”

He Lianjia has never seen such a group of people, let alone such a strange Qincha. However, Helianga respects these black-armored guards from the bottom of his heart, they are true warriors, and they do not show the slightest flinch in the face of life and death. Even he, a veteran of half his life, was a little ashamed of himself.

He Lianjia admired Duan Lang's downfall even more, and just by what he had just said, he condensed five hundred soldiers into a powerful battle array. If you can protect yourself, this son will become a pillar in time.

However, Helenga felt that he could not see that day anymore. The gate of Yushan Pass is not big, and if the five hundred black armor guards are really blocked there, He Lianjia seems to have seen the scene of a river of blood. If that were the case, I am afraid that the heavens would weep for these warriors.

Under the leadership of Duan Lang, the five hundred black-armored guards gave up their horses and switched to walking, which was suitable for charging into battle, and the purpose of walking was to defend the battle. The Blackguards were well-armed, each with a small pointed shield, which usually hung on their backs when charging on horseback and formed a shield formation when fighting on foot.

In the moonlit night, five hundred black-armored guards came to the city gate like the god of war. The guards defending the city were startled. If He Lianjia hadn't stopped it in time, they would have almost sounded the alarm of the war.

Duan Lang called Liu Xusheng and Cui Zhiliang to him and asked in a low voice. "The two of you have experience in leading troops, if the other party is really an impact, do you think you can hold on?"

"Commander, this gate is narrow unless the opponent storms it with a heavily loaded chariot. Otherwise, with our combat effectiveness, they will really not be able to get over it for a while. Liu Xusheng said confidently.

"Can you hold on for five or six days?"

"Five or six days?" Liu Xusheng and Cui Zhiliang were both stunned.

"Commander Duan, if you fight for five or six days, I'm afraid the brothers will be tired and exhausted. If we fight head-on, I'm afraid we won't have many people left at the end of the day, so we don't have to think about it for so long. Cui Zhiliang said.

Duan Lang looked at the two of them and said, "Two elder brothers, I really don't hide it, I believe that in five or six days, Your Majesty's golden arrows and holy decrees will arrive." We brought our brothers, and we can't do it brutely. Fortunately, there was a sword of Shang Fang, and Hu Weilin did not dare to give an order easily. If the other party wants to be tempted, we must put on a desperate posture and return the color. As long as we face off for five or six days, the command of the army will fall into our hands. ”

When Liu Xusheng and the others heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up, and Liu Xusheng said, "Commander Duan, you are right, brothers are not afraid of death, but they can't die unclear. I will give the order to divide the force into two parts, and my brother and I will each take a team to take turns on duty, and the rest of the personnel will rest in place. As long as you maintain your physical strength, it is not a problem to stick to it for five or six days. Unless Hu Weilin desperately orders to kill, if that is the case, we can only blame our brothers for their fate, and we will see you again in the next life. ”

Cui Zhiliang also said, "In addition, I will immediately send a few people to prepare water bladders and dry food." After all, Hu Weilin was the general of Great Xia, and a frontal attack was at most a temptation and intimidation. The most important thing is that we can't let him drag down his body, and he must prepare enough food and water. ”

"Okay, you two are more experienced in this area, so there are two Lao." Duan Lang said gratefully.

Liu Xusheng smiled, "Commander Duan, my brothers have been in the palace for so many years, and some things are clearer than you. On the surface, it was our Heavenly Master Hall and Hu Weilin's army confronting, but in fact, it was the emperor and those old guys wrestling their wrists. People fight for a breath when they are alive, not to mention that we still have the support of the emperor behind us, and it is worth dying. ”

Duan Lang said with emotion, "Anyway, I am very touched by the brothers. In the future, everyone will be a family, and Duan will rush to the forefront in the face of any danger, unless I fall, no one will want to hurt my brother. ”

"Commander Duan, with your words, the brothers will follow you when they go up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire." Cui Zhiliang hugged his fists and looked at Duan Lang sincerely.

Duan Lang and the three of them were discussing in the city, but He Lianjia led Zhang Ruming to the gatehouse in the city. It's still early in the morning, and Zhang Ruming doesn't want to stay overnight in the city. There was a makeshift marching bunk in the gatehouse, and it seemed that he had to make do with it here for the past few days.

He Lianjia quietly told a general manager that all the soldiers and horses of Yushan Pass should only be blind to the black-armored guards inside the city gate, and let these black-armored guards form a formation at the city gate. He Lianjia also let it go, as a garrison, he couldn't afford to offend both sides, so he didn't want to help, and waited for the result. After living in Yushanguan for so many years, maybe this time is also a life-changing opportunity.

Early the next morning, just after the hour, the drums were beaten and the tent was raised in the camp of Yushan Pass. Hu Wei sat in the account of the Chinese army and began to arrange the detailed steps of today's attack. Just then, a flag guard hurried into the tent.

"Report to your lord, the scout camp has just come to report, the gate of Yushan Pass is blocked by the black armor guards of Qincha, and they can't get out of the gate at all. According to the scouts, there were as many as four or five hundred. ”

Hu Weilin was arranging his troops with the arrow in his hand, and when he heard the news, he stood up suddenly.

"What? Dare to stop my scout camp, they are tired of it. Li Zhen of the forward battalion listened to the order. ”

"The last general!" Li Zhen, the commander of the forward battalion, stood up.

"Quickly lead two thousand soldiers and horses and take down all these black-armored guards. Obstructing military affairs and delaying military aircraft, I want to see if this Shangguan boy has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall. ”

"The last will be ordered!" Li Zhen said and took the arrow.

Li Zhen was just about to leave the account here, when Hu Weilin suddenly shouted, "Wait." ”

Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, stopped and asked, "Hu Shuai, what else do you command?" ”

Hu Weilin thought for a while and said, "After all, the Black Armor Guard belongs to the forbidden army, and when dealing with these people, you can be injured, but you can't kill them!" Imprisoned everyone in the camp at the head of the city, and if they were seriously injured, they should be treated first, and try not to kill anyone. ”

Li Zhen smiled, "A group of raw melon children who have never seen blood, Lao Tzu may be able to cry with a roar." Hu Shuai, just take a look. ”

Li Zhen, the commander of the forward battalion, walked out in a burst of laughter. Hu Weilin's face was a little unsightly, he didn't care about that Shangguan Xuanwu, but He Lianjia didn't come to report such a big thing, which made Hu Weilin very dissatisfied.

Hu Weilin continued to give military orders, and in his opinion, two thousand forward battalions dealing with only four or five hundred black armor guards was not as simple as cutting cabbage. Hu Weilin only waited for the auspicious time to arrive, and the army immediately set off to raid the Beiming camp.
