Chapter 52: The Forbidden Valley is Burned
Gao Cheng realized that the hakama and two crotch armor worn by Yuwentai were his. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info When he understood this, he felt very uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Yu Wentai pulled out his sword, drove the horse with the reins in one hand, and rushed towards him with a sword. He came to kill him, he used a solid mind, and everyone who saw this scene felt that Yu Wentai was willing to kill Gao Cheng in his heart.
The Western Wei army behind Yuwentai also swarmed in. There was no formation, and just outside the entrance of the Forbidden Valley, the soldiers of the two Wei fought again. The halberd and the spear, the golden blade strikes each other, how can the flesh stop it? Flesh and blood are flying, corpses are everywhere. After a while, there were bright red and piercing blood stains mixed in by the clear stream that was still as cold as jade just now.
Gao Cheng dodged Yuwentai's sword, and at the same time, he also drew his own sword. When Yuwentai's second sword came again, Gao Cheng met him with a horizontal blade, and the tiger's mouth where Yuwentai held the sword was sour and numb. Neither of them wants to lose, and they do their best to compete with each other secretly.
"Brother Black Otter will want me to die before I can be fast, how do you know who will die first?" Gao Cheng's blood surged, and he worked extra hard, concentrating all the strength of his body on the blade of the sword.
Yu Wentai did not move on the surface, but in fact, he had done his best to support it, all because he was extremely tough, so he would not easily withdraw his hand. "What Zihui said is very true, my brother and I must die for one person and two Wei before we can make a big decision."
Both of them couldn't support it, and they withdrew at the same time, and they had a tacit understanding to wave their blades at each other again, both wanting to seize this close opportunity to put the other party to death. At this moment, no one hesitated, no one had distracting thoughts, and the clearest thought was success or failure.
Liu Taozhi and Chen Yuankang both lingered beside Gao Cheng and refused to stay away.
Hou Jing retreated more and more, getting farther and farther away from Gao Cheng and Yu Wentai, who were fighting to the death.
Gao Cheng had already seen that Yuwentai was a sword aimed at the point, so he naturally would not show mercy. Although it took more than ten hours to travel here from Luoyang, because of the eagerness, he was extremely excited, and his exhaustion was swept away, and he wanted to kill Yuwentai with a sword.
Yuwentai has been waiting for the enemy for a long time, waiting for work, and there is no way out, so he is also very ruthless. But in the end, it still can't reach Gao Cheng. Gao Cheng gradually gained the upper hand, and finally saw that when Yuwentai gradually couldn't cope with it, a sword stabbed fiercely, and Yuwentai seemed to be unable to dodge, and he was hit by the sword in his ribs.
Gao Cheng didn't seem to expect Yuwentai to be stabbed, so he stopped when he withdrew his hand and came back. After a moment of spirit, he smiled and said, "Uncle, how can you fight again?" Returning to Chang'an as soon as possible is the best policy. ā
Chen Yuankang was on Gao Cheng's side, and when he saw that Yuwentai had been hit by the sword, he didn't rush forward to capture it, and suddenly found that Zhao Gui and Yu Jin were not by Yuwentai's side.
Liu Taozhi didn't care about this, and urged the horse to come up and capture Yuwentai.
"What Brother Cheng said is good...... Yu Wentai seemed to be injured, and his left hand covered the middle sword under his ribs. The two crotch armors couldn't stop the blades, and they had already seen blood oozing out. He didn't speak so loudly anymore, and smiled at Gao Cheng with a slight bow. Then he suddenly turned the horse's head and urged the horse to gallop away.
Liu Taozhi hurriedly chased after him.
Gao Cheng finally chased the horse out with his legs between his legs.
"General!" Chen Yuankang saw that Gao Cheng suddenly chased after him, and he also hurried to catch up. "Great General, slow down!"
The generals of the two sides fled and chased away, and the soldiers were in chaos. The Western Wei army poured into the Forbidden Valley like a headless fly. The soldiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty were exhausted, but they did not dare not follow the general to chase after them. It's just that by the time they chased them into the Forbidden Valley, the Great General had long since disappeared.
Hou Jing saw that Yuwentai and Gao Cheng entered the valley one after the other, except for a small number of Eastern Wei soldiers who also followed the general to chase in, most of them were still outside the valley. He immediately ordered the assembly, and ordered that the road in the middle of the valley was narrow and difficult to travel, and it was not suitable for the army to enter, and that he would take a detour to Xiaoguan to meet the general. The soldiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty could not help but obey his orders.
Wuwei General Hou He was seriously injured, although the general ordered him to accompany him, he could only rely on people to take care of him, and he fell behind at the back of the team until this time.
Seeing a mess, I was very puzzled. Hou Jing smiled but didn't answer, but led the army west unhurriedly.
On the outskirts of Chang'an City, Hu Benlang led the Su Guards to lead the troops. The commander in chief is the emperor's ingots torch.
Since the founding of the Western Wei Dynasty, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued. Supporting Sheji in the midst of the storm, Prime Minister Woo Moon Tae also strengthened the defense of Gyeonggi and the palace. That's how this old guard army was enriched. At this time, Zhao Gui, the hussar general who also led the tiger Ben Zhonglang general, was out on the expedition, and the prime minister Yu Wentai was not in Chang'an.
This is already the only force that can be mobilized in Chang'an City. As soon as the Su Guards came out, Chang'an City was almost no longer secure. If you can't recapture Tongguan, if you lose Prime Minister Yuwentai, the pillar of optimism, and the Western Wei Dynasty is turbulent and collapsed, what else can you talk about defending Chang'an? Defending the Emperor?
The ingot torch has already held the heart of death.
The tiger and leopard rode into the Su Guard and served as the expedition, and it was not a precedent for the Yuan Bao Torch to lead the Su Guard to the expedition. But perhaps no one has ever been so miserable as he is.
Tongguan, the gateway to Chang'an, the key place in the west pass. Yuan Baoju didn't know that when he rushed to Tongguan with the heart of death, the mood of Murong Shaozong, the enemy general who occupied Tongguan, was not much better than him.
Murong Shaozong, the great star of the Eastern Wei and Western Roads, can even be said to have won the time, so that he could seize the Tongguan Pass at the right time. It's just that Tongguan is easy to obtain, and it is not easy to go further in the future. On the battlefield in Henan, the two Wei battles were in full swing, but Guanzhong was not empty.
In the north, there is the defeated Li Bi, the prince of the Western Wei Dynasty, Yuan Qin, and the great Sima Duguxin. There were also garrisons in Wuguan and Shangluo in the south. Murong Shaozong will not move, as long as he acts rashly, he will definitely be besieged. How could Chang'an fall so easily? Murong Shaozong is somewhat difficult to ride a tiger.
Murong Shaozong's attention was focused on Guanwai. Knowing that Yuwentai was defeated and the general Gao Cheng had chased after him, what he needed to do was to intercept Yuwentai and join forces with the general Gao Cheng.
However, things were unexpected by Murong Shaozong. When he got the news from the scouts and knew that the general Gao Cheng had chased Yuwentai into the Forbidden Valley, he was already sighing.
Murong Shaozong had to prepare to go out of Tongguan to respond.
When Murong Shaozong was about to leave the pass, he didn't know that the part of the Eastern Wei army led by Hou Jing had approached the small pass in the unobstructed way.
What Hou Jing didn't expect was that the remnants of the Western Wei Army who originally thought they were in Xiaoguan were actually not here. Only then did he think that Yuwentai's henchmen Zhao Gui, Yu Jin and others did not go with Yuwentai to meet Gao Cheng.
At the moment, it is clear that the real decisive place is actually the Forbidden Valley! This conclusion made Hou Jing surprised. At this time, he could not predict the final outcome of the battle. That's what scares him the most.
What Hou Jing didn't expect was that Gao Yue, who was originally far away in Yangzhou, had already driven his troops west at this time.
Gao Yue actually couldn't completely determine whether Hou Jingchuan's order to let him come west to help was whether the general really had an order.
But after Gao Yue became impulsive and angry, he also got the real news that the general Gao Cheng did lead his troops from Luoyang West. Originally, the position was shifted in order to fight for control of the important places in Henan. The Eastern Wei army changed from responding to the battle on the inner line to taking the initiative.
The traitor Gao Zhongmi is dead, and the prefectures and counties that were originally taken by the Western Wei army have all been recovered, and Yuwentai, the prime minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, has been defeated. By now, the war centered on Bishan had actually come to an end, ending with a great victory for the Eastern Wei army.
Now that the battlefield has been transferred, Gao Yue's stay in Henan at this time is a bit of a matter of sitting on the wall and watching. Regardless of whether Hou Jingchuan's order was true or not, he should not stay here any longer.
Since Murong Shaozong, the great star of the Western Dao, has captured Tongguan, the battle for Henan, which was originally actively invaded by the Western Wei, has evolved into a battle between the two Wei for Sheji.
At this time, the general Gao Cheng led the army to go deeper, and the Western Wei army was attacked by many forces in all directions, Murong Shaozong could not use one block and ten, and Hou Jing was treacherous, Gao Yue found a reason for himself to go west to help. What's more, success or failure is in this move, how can you think too much about your own results? He is also a member of the Gao clan.
The Forbidden Valley was filled with a thick smell of blood, and the valley was like hell. The sun was still shining at noon, when the sky changed dramatically. The valley is deep, and it is as dark as night.
Liu Taozhi rushed into the forbidden valley and felt that Sen Senran was extremely cold. This is different from the cold of winter, which is a gloomy cold that emanates from the heart. He had never seen such a strange place. He also went on several expeditions with the late Metropolitan Governor Gao Aocao, and the blood on the battlefield was like a river, and the corpses were all over the field, so he couldn't move his heart for a long time, and he didn't take it to heart at all. But my heart has never been shaken like this.
The moment Gao Cheng rushed into the valley, he suddenly heard someone call clearly: "Ah Hui!" He thought he had misheard.
It was the voice of Master Bodhidharma. Master was always smiling, and it seemed that nothing had ever worried him. He is old, and he always looks like a naughty child. Not long ago, I saw the Master holding his son Bodhi in the camp of Bishan, and the Master was still full of relaxation at that time.
This "Ah Hui" was not loud, but it seemed to hit Gao Cheng's heart hard, and he couldn't help but stop the urge to move forward. Looking around, where is the shadow of the Bodhidharma Patriarch. It must have been his delusion, how could Master come here?
It's just that the voice is so real, and there is that kind of slightly helpless worry. Is this Master?
"General!" Chen Yuankang caught up at this time and reined in his horse beside Gao Cheng, his expression had changed greatly, "This place is extremely weird, the general should not stay here for a long time, just leave quickly." ā
Gao Cheng did not answer Chen Yuankang's words.
Chen Yuankang was also surprised at this time.
The soldiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty looked at the opposite scene in inexplicable terror.
In fact, the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty who attacked out of the valley just now were exposed and hidden, and they were half-hidden in the valley and did not come out. Therefore, it gave people the illusion that the Western Wei army was numerous. At this time, the Western Wei soldiers in front of him were dressed in black, and they looked more like Yin soldiers and ghost soldiers in the gloomy valley. The Western Wei army was lining up neatly and coldly and calmly facing the Eastern Wei army.
At this time, the Western Wei army was separated from each other, and the two horsemen came out slowly. Yu Wentai and Zhao Gui came from sitting on horses one after the other.
In the dimness, Yuwentai's face was as pale as paper, almost colorless. I don't know if it's because of the injury he just got stabbed by Gao Cheng with a sword, or if it's something else.
Zhao Gui silently followed behind Yuwentai. Both of them were no longer as angry and resentful as they had just been, and they were horribly calm.
Gao Cheng suddenly realized that a certain moment had come. First Zhao Gui raided, and then Yu Wentai did not hesitate to use himself as bait, they deliberately lured him here.
"Gao Zihui," Yu Wentai's voice was surprisingly cold. "One of you and I will die today." He continued to ride forward. "Jiankang acquaintance is fate, helpless...... Helpless...... The kindness of the younger brother will be repaid in the next life, don't be resentful. Yuwen Tai pulled the reins and didn't get close to Gao Cheng again.
Gao Cheng instead rode his horse to Yuwentai without scruples when his soldiers were all bound and did not dare to move forward. He wanted to see him clearly, the valley was dim, and he always felt that he was so far away and unclear.
"It seems that the black otter has already decided in his heart that I am going to die?" Gao Cheng already felt bad in his heart, and he was inevitably panicked, but he still couldn't believe it. Strangely, although he panicked, it did not make him lose his natural impulse.
Yuwentai stopped talking, he raised his right hand and made a gesture.
"Lord Lang be careful!" Liu Taozhi reacted quickly, jumped from his horse and pounced directly on Gao Cheng, knocking Gao Cheng to the ground.
After Gao Cheng fell off the horse, he was pressed by Liu Taozhi. At this time, the entire Forbidden Valley was illuminated, as if the sky was full of stars in an instant.
The Western Wei army silently retreated to both sides. The general of the cavalry and the archers behind him moved in unison, and ten thousand arrows were fired in unison. Clusters of arrows with flames flew towards the Eastern Wei army. And one of the arrows originally had to be shot at Gao Cheng, but fortunately, with Liu Taozhi's pounce, Gao Cheng dodged that arrow with divine help.
"General, let's go!" Chen Yuankang shouted as he tossed the rocket. He didn't dismount. "Great Wei soldiers, follow me to capture the Yuwen Black Otter!" Chen Yuankang didn't even glance at Gao Cheng, who was pressed to the ground by Liu Taozhi, and rushed towards Yuwentai in the rain of arrows.
Gao Cheng struggled to break free of Liu Taozhi, "Brother Changyou! ā
The scene is already chaotic. Countless rockets from the Western Wei army attacked, not only the Eastern Wei army was hit by countless arrows, but even the dry trees and dead branches around them were ignited by the fire. The valley was already small and there were many people, and the Eastern Wei army that was hit by the arrow and the Eastern Wei army that was burned by the fire could not get out for a while, and the shouting, cursing, and crying were endless, which made people unbearable to hear. This is tantamount to closing the door and leaving people to die, leaving people with no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground, and there is no way to escape, so they can only die.
With such a poisonous plan, all the complicated feelings in Gao Cheng's heart towards Yuwentai converged into hatred. Did he ever think of brotherhood? Wouldn't it be ridiculous to say that now? He lured him here at all costs, just to kill him in one fell swoop.
Gao Cheng desperately tries to find a horse in the chaos. But there were no horses. At this time, the two Wei armies were fighting in one place, fighting in one place in the valley, even if there were horses, it was difficult to walk. The Western Wei army did whatever it took to release rockets, even if it was facing two Wei soldiers who were fighting in one place and could not distinguish between you and me. When you shoot others, you are shooting yourself.
The rockets came one after another, and Gao Cheng kept blocking them, while moving forward to find Yuwentai. Liu Taozhi followed closely behind him, chopping thorns for him.
"Yuwen Black Otter!" Gao Cheng shouted.
The soldiers and generals of the Western Wei Dynasty who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make meritorious contributions were all stabbed by Gao Cheng, and their hands were steady, accurate, and ruthless. (To be continued.) )
