Chapter Twenty-Seven: Crossing the River! River! River!
The majestic sea, nicknamed the purple-faced king, the fourth hero of the Sui and Tang dynasties.
This is to say that the characters in the Tang Dynasty, in Zheng Yanqing's impression, whether it is the Sui Book or the Zizhi Tongjian, there is no record of him.
Perhaps, this is simply an illusory character.
Zheng Yanqing has always believed that the image of the majestic sea is likely to come from a certain mountain king who rebelled in Taihang Mountain.
In the novel, it is said that the majestic sea is one foot tall, with a large waist circumference, an iron-faced beard, a purple face, a tiger's head and eyes, and a voice like thunder. He is good at making two plate axes, weighing 160 catties, and his arms have 10,000 catties of strength...... Slowly, the matter of Xionghai making the axe seems to be the attention he came up with. And his two axes are almost two hundred pounds, which is much heavier than the axes in the novel and the vast sea.
In addition, the majestic sea in front of you is almost exactly the same as the majestic sea in the novel.
The height is almost a zhang, and the weight is nearly 300 pounds. So, this waist circumference...... Still don't mention it. The beard hasn't grown yet, after all, the age is there, and it seems unlikely that you can make a person who is less than twenty years old grow a beard.
The tiger's head is ringed, his face is purple, and his voice is like thunder!
Zheng Yanqing was stunned!
To be honest, he never thought that he was traveling through the Tang world, let alone connecting the two people, Xionghai and Xiongkuohai.
But the problem is, this scene is real, it happened!
Lenovo in the early years, Xiong Da Hammer once moved to leave Luoyang and move to Taiyuan. After the rebellion of Yang Liang, the king of Han, the city of Taiyuan was broken. If that happens, is it possible for the sledgehammer to survive? And the majestic sea, which has lost its family, is very likely to become a majestic sea.
In the novel, the majestic sea is also active in the area of Taihang Mountain...... The majestic sea was stared at by Zheng Yanqing's hair, and his heart was up and down, and he was uneasy.
"Big brother, if you don't like this name, then I'd better call Xiong Dahai!"
Zheng Yanqing smiled and shook his head again and again.
The ups and downs of the sea in his previous life made him develop a surname Bing who was not shocked everywhere. Joy and anger are invisible, and this is a compulsory course for officials. Therefore, Yan Qing has met many celebrities, from Fang Xuanling Du Ruhui of Zhenguan Famous Ministers, to Xu Shiji, and even Yuwen Chengdu, he has never shown any surprise. Only the majestic sea is different, he has lived by his side for nearly seven years, and Yu Qing doesn't know that he is the majestic sea. The big black man screamed for so long, and suddenly became the famous purple-faced king, which is really unacceptable emotionally. It is precisely because of such a reason that Zheng Yanqing had a brief gaffe...... "Big Black!" ”
"Huh?"
"Promise me one thing, don't get too close to the city gate in the future!"
In the novel, Xiong Kuohai died by holding on to the jack gate, and died a miserable death, and in the end, not even a whole corpse fell.
Zheng Yanqing's brainless words not only made Xiong Kuohai inexplicable, Shen Guang and Xie Ke and others, but also the second monk was confused.
However, Xiong Kuohai still replied quietly: "Big brother, I have written down your orders!" ”
Yan Qing smiled again...... He feels that he is a little nervous, how can the things in the novel be taken seriously? Besides, Xiong Kuohai followed him, and it was impossible to go to the jack gate again. Looking at Xiong Kuohai's honest smile, Zheng Yanqing nodded, pulled Xiong Kuohai and sat down beside him.
The majestic sea, which did not exist in the first place, has appeared!
So what other characters will appear in front of him next?
When Zheng Yanqing thought of this, he couldn't help but have some expectations. I don't know how many of the legendary eighteen heroes of the Sui and Tang dynasties will appear?
In the eighth year of the Great Cause, that is, in 612 A.D., March 14.
The Central Plains is already in a piece of birds and flowers, the spring breeze blows the green Jiangnan, the peach blossoms and apricot blossoms, and the purple and red bloom with a moving color.
However, on the east and west banks of Liaoshui, the wind is still strong.
A tragic battle kicked off on both sides of the Liaoshui...... According to the earlier plan, after the Sui army advanced to the west bank of Liaoshui, it was necessary to immediately cross the river and fight. Goguryeo's soldiers and horses also gathered on the east bank, preparing to fight to the death with the Sui army. Then, due to the failure to accurately calculate in advance, there was a huge deviation when the Ministry of Engineering Shangshu Yu Wenkai made the pontoon bridge. So much so that when the pontoon bridge was laid, it was still several feet away from the east bank.
The Sui army could not cross the river, so they could only pounce on the east bank in small groups.
This made Goguryeo have a numerical advantage, and attacked again and again, destroying the Sui army that crossed the river on the east bank of Liaoshui.
The river is red with blood. The wild laughter and ridicule of the Goguryeo people reached the west bank of Liaoshui. And the person who presided over the war was Mai Zizhong's grandfather, Mai Tiecane, the general of Zuotunwei. The rod of wheat, which was over fifty years old, was still like a raging fire, and it was extremely violent.
Listening to the ridicule of the Goguryeo people, and watching his sons die tragically under the butcher's knife of the Goguryeo people, the wheat iron rod jumped like thunder.
"Three army sons, follow me across the river, cross the river, cross the river!"
Mai Tiezhu shouted sharply, and the long knife in his hand pointed at the other side of the Liaoshui: "The eldest husband's surname is his own life, how can he lie in the hands of his children?" ”
Its meaning is almost the same as the sentence that the husband returned the body of a horse leather.
For a while, his subordinates shouted and ran, jumped into the water from the pontoon bridge one by one, and waded to the riverbank.
"Father, as the commander of the three armed forces, how can you easily get into danger?"
Mai Mengcai, the eldest son of Mai Tiecane, grabbed Mai Tiecane, who had taken off his heavy armor and was about to rush out, "If you charge into battle, the child is willing to be the vanguard, and ask the father to watch the battle for the child." ”
"Your martial arts are not pure, and it is difficult to take on heavy responsibilities."
In front of everyone, Mai Tiecane did not save any face for Mai Mengcai, and he laughed and said: "Anudang was a light-colored barren mountain, and I am a dead man." If I die in battle, I will be rich. Only sincerity and filial piety, Erqi reluctantly. Three armies, follow me across the river to kill the enemy! ”
Mai Tie Rod knocked away Mai Mengcai, strode meteor, and rushed onto the pontoon bridge.
As the commander-in-chief, Mai Tiecane looks like this, how can the generals under his command lag behind. I saw General Hu Benlang, Zuotunwei generals Qian Shixiong and Meng Jincha following closely behind, leading their troops to rush onto the pontoon bridge. Mai Tie Rod took the lead, jumped into the icy water, waded ashore, sword and shield in hand, and ran with a call sign. The six-foot horizontal knife flew up and down in his hand, drawing a line of brilliant arcs.
Everywhere he passed, everyone in Goguryeo was killed on their backs.
Although the wheat iron rod is over 50 years old, it is well maintained and does not show any signs of aging.
His killing moves are very ingenious, different from the slashing of normal people, but the slashing and assassination with a three-inch square blade with the edge of the knife. One by one, the Goguryeo people were picked out by him, and when they landed, they had no surname. He took the lead in rushing into the camp of the Goguryeo people, leading his men and horses, only to kill the Goguryeo people and retreat one after another. Qian Shixiong and Meng Jincha also followed closely behind him, and a group of people immediately went ashore and swept thousands of troops to seize the Liaoshui beachhead.
"Speed up the erection of the pontoon!"
Yu Wenkai kept shouting on the west bank, and the soldiers and horses under his command also sped up.
On a hill on the east bank, an old man in a Confucian shirt twisted his beard to observe the situation on the river beach.
"Who's that old man?"
"Prime Minister Qiyu, the white-haired old man at the head, is the famous general of the Great Sui State, Mai Tiecane."
"Ha, it's better to be famous than to meet, in my opinion, this person is also a reckless man, and he is known as a famous general? Launched the Ming Di, ordered Yi Zhisheng to outflank the two ribs, dispatched water ghosts, and burned the pontoon bridge. We are waiting to annihilate this Sui army on the east bank of Liaoshui, which has already boosted the morale of the army. ”
The old man's military order was issued, and the piercing whistle sounded over the Liaoshui.
In an instant, shouts of killing broke out on the east bank of the river, and two cavalry armies suddenly killed from the left and right, instantly cutting off the connection between the Sui army and the river.
At the same time, the soldiers of the Sui Army, who were hypothetizing the pontoon bridge in the cold river water, let out a series of screams.
Streams of blood foamed in the river, and countless things dressed in fishskin tights appeared in the river, which at first glance looked like monsters in the water. They held bright steel forks and short knives in their hands, and kept pulling the Sui army down in the river and killing them!
"Water ghosts, water ghosts of the Goguryeo people!"
There were Sui troops who were familiar with the situation in Goguryeo and shouted loudly.
Immediately after, a water ghost appeared, sprinkled the tung oil he had carried on the pontoon, and then ignited it instantly. On the pontoon bridge, the flames were blazing, constantly forcing back the Sui army trying to cross the river. Yu Wenkai was shocked and shouted: "Release the arrow, release the arrow...... Kill these water ghosts. ”
Yu Wenkai is also experienced in a hundred battles, so he naturally knows how powerful these water ghosts are.
As early as the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwentai had launched a war against the Southern Dynasty. The water ghosts in the south of the Yangtze River caused great lethality to the soldiers and horses of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yu Wenkai still remembers it vividly. Therefore, when the water ghost appeared, Yu Wenkai felt that the situation was not good. The archers of the Sui army swarmed up and fired arrows into the middle of the river. There were clever water ghosts, so they immediately retreated to the east bank of the river, but there were still many water ghosts, and they were shot in the water.
Their mission is over, though!
After the pontoon bridge was burned, the Sui army, which rushed to the east bank, immediately lost reinforcements.
Under the command of the prime minister of Goguryeo, the cavalry infantry swarmed up and surrounded the Sui army layer by layer. Mai Tiezhu was under siege, but he was not afraid at all. I saw that he was still shouting and running, and the long knife in his hand was even more fierce, and every time the cold light flashed, there would be Goguryeo people killed.
"Fetch my Treasure Carving Bow!"
The old man on the high hill showed a sinister look.
Immediately, there were relatives who presented bows and arrows, but when they saw that they were holding their bows and arrows, they aimed at the wheat iron staff that was fighting frantically and stained their clothes with blood, and as soon as the strings sounded, the sharp arrows flew out. Mai Tie slashed a Goguryeo man with a single sword, blood splattered on his face, blinding him.
He was about to wipe the blood off his face when a soft sound suddenly sounded in his ears.
subconsciously dodged to the side, but saw a red lacquer carved arrow flying towards him, hitting him in the chest. The carved arrow, with a barb, and only an iron rod of wheat, screamed. A fast horse rushed at McIronstaff, who couldn't dodge and was knocked to the ground by the ironhorse, his ribs broken, piercing his left lung. There was a violent cough, and blood foamed from his mouth and nose. Two Goguryeo soldiers rushed towards him, and with a loud roar, he grabbed a spear with one hand, and slashed his sword to cut off the soldier.
The old man on the high post had a darker look on his face.
Pulling the bow again, an arrow hit the shoulder of the iron rod of the wheat ...... "Father! ”
Mai Mengcai, who was helpless on the west bank of the river, screamed in pain.
He tried to rush into Liaoshui several times, but was pulled back by Yu Wenkai's orders.
"Who is the man who released the arrows?"
"Qi Yu Wen Shangshu, that guy is the Prime Minister of Goguryeo, Eulzhi Wende!"
"Eji Wende, I swear to kill you!"
Mai Mengcai roared sharply, but he couldn't stop it, and the spear of the Goguryeo people pierced through Mai Tiecane's body. Mai Tie was hit by five arrows in a row, and finally fell in a pool of blood. Just when he didn't die much, Qian Shixiong and Meng Jincha died in battle, and none of the 3,000 Sui troops who crossed the Liaoshui survived.
A Goguryeo general tied one of Mai's legs with a rope and dragged him away.
Yu Wenkai's eyes were blood-red, and he suddenly shouted: "The three armies are ordered, cross the river, cross the river, cross the river...... Immediately erect a pontoon bridge and force the Liaoshui to cross! ”
"Cross the river! River! River! ”
The Sui army hissed and shouted, echoing over the Liaoshui for a long time.
