Chapter 364: Fighting (continued)

Taking advantage of the brief confusion caused by the white horse tumbling down, the archers fired two rounds of arrows at great speed, taking the lives of dozens of Turkic soldiers. But soon they put up their shields again, set up their formation, and began to climb up again.

There were no other living horses on the top of the boulder, all the horses were killed in the dense rain of arrows, and the lion Bai was Liu Jun's mount, and because it was a BMW, it could only have a place in the small bunker when the rain of arrows hit. And thanks to the horse's intelligence, it knows how to kneel under cover to avoid arrows.

Now, having completed its mission like a warrior, the only way to prevent them from reaching the top of the rock was to face the enemy forces crowded with their shields, and the only way to do so was hand-to-hand combat.

The sound of iron shield blades and armor rubbing against the rocks was extremely harsh. The time during which the enemy climbed the slope was actually very short, but in the minds of the people on the top of the rock, it became very long and painful.

Sometimes, the process of waiting is the most torturous, especially when you know that what you are waiting for is going to be a disaster.

Finally, when the first Turkic chainmail soldier leaps onto the ground above the rocky slope with a scimitar in hand, the frenzied battle officially begins. Liu Dehai let out a heart-rending cry, Liu Jun, Qingyun'er, Ziyun'er, Zhang Wulang and other guards, and more than 100 remnants of soldiers got up from behind the bunker one after another, rushed to a small piece of flat land above the slope, and instantly fought with dozens of Turkic soldiers who rushed up.

Liu Dehai and the others knew in their hearts that they must firmly guard the narrow flat land at the entrance of the slope, and must not allow the Turks to rush to the large open space on the huge rock, in that case, the opponent's steady ascent of troops will have an advantage, and there will be no chance of victory. Only by squeezing the opponent at the entrance can the opponent's superior forces be temporarily unable to play, and it will be more likely to withstand such an impact.

This strategy was very effective at first, and the dozen or so shield soldiers and chain mail soldiers who first rushed to the top of the rock were cut into meat sauce by everyone with only one face, and the enemy soldiers who rushed up were quickly cut down by more than 30 people, and none of the people on the top of the rock were injured, which made everyone feel very angry.

However, the other party quickly adjusted its strategy, more than a dozen large shields formed a shield wall side by side, and rushed upwards with force, and the Turkic soldiers in the rear also pushed the body of the shield soldier hard, and pushed the shield soldier forward by nearly twenty steps, making room for the soldiers who climbed to the top in the future. Soon more than 100 people poured to the top of the rock.

Although the Turkic shield soldiers were quickly slaughtered, the more than 100 Turkic chain mail soldiers who rushed up already had a foothold, and their strength was equivalent to that of the Tang army on the top of the rock, and the situation suddenly reversed.

There is a reason why these 500 Turkic chainmail soldiers are qualified to wear chain mail. These soldiers were trained for hand-to-hand combat, unlike other Turkic soldiers, who were only good at horse-kicking, and these 500 chainmail soldiers were not only good at horsemanship, but also did not have the clumsiness of the northern troops on the ground, and the scimitars in their hands were fierce and cunning. Ordinary soldiers of the Tang Army were not their opponents at all in a one-on-one situation, not to mention the more than 100 people who were now fighting against them were physically and mentally exhausted, starved and cold, and devastated.

After the tea time, dozens of Tang soldiers were killed, and the number of chain mail soldiers increased, and they could not maintain the position of oppressing the other party, so they had to retreat step by step, and finally were forced to the side of the raised boulder in the middle of the rock top, and the remaining less than eighty people were surrounded by the other party. However, the critical situation stimulated the courage of everyone, and more than 80 people fought fiercely to the death, but made it impossible for the Turkic chain mail soldiers to annihilate them for a while. More than a dozen chainmail soldiers were killed because they were greedy for people's heads.

"Kill one and earn one, Lao Tzu makes more money anyway, this is the sixth." Liu Dehai was covered in blood, the long sword in his hand had just been pulled out of the chest of a chain mail soldier, and he kicked away the corpse of the enemy soldier, scolding and laughing in his mouth, looking extremely crazy.

Liu Jun's voice came from one side: "Isn't six great?" I've killed fifteen. You're not as good as me. ”

Liu Dehai waved his sword to parry a scimitar, spat blood and foamed: "How is it possible?" You lied to me. ”

Liu Jun shouted: "Don't believe it? Let you see how powerful I am, and I'll kill a reincarnation for you to see. Rush! ”

Liu Dehai didn't have time to say anything to stop it, but when he saw that six or seven people on the left had already rushed into the enemy group, all of a sudden, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the screams were repeated, leaving a flesh and blood passage around them, and five or six enemy soldiers were killed in this instant.

Liu Dehai was stunned and laughed, but he didn't argue with Liu Jun, Liu Jun's words were bragging, not bragging, these people said that he killed them, but it can also be said that he didn't kill them, because the staffing around him can be called luxurious. There are Qingyun'er and Ziyun'er on the left and right, and there are four big black slaves in front of and behind him, three cooked copper sticks and a big ring knife are smashed and slashed around him, Qingyun'er is a master of martial arts, Ziyun'er's martial arts are not weak, plus Liu Jun, these seven people form a killing machine.

The surrounding chainmail soldiers were either hacked to death with machetes, smashed to death with large copper sticks, or stabbed to death by swords. Or was beaten with a stick, and was slashed to death with a sword, all in all, no matter what kind of death, Liu Jun has the opportunity to stab a sword on the other party. In short, Liu Jun also has a share in the dead.

But seeing that these seven people were forced to go back and forth in the besieged chain mail soldiers, and after killing more than 20 enemy soldiers, they returned to the same place, only the arm of the black slave turtle was cut by a scimitar, and the rest were unharmed, and Liu Jun did not even splash new blood on his armor.

"How? Among these more than 20 people, I will kill at least three or five, General Liu, you are not as good as me. Liu Jun said proudly.

Liu Dehai smiled bitterly: "Bow to the wind." ”

"These Turkic barbarians are just a dish, and I can cut them as much as I like." Liu Jun deliberately raised his voice and laughed.

Of course, Liu Dehai knew Liu Jun's intentions, how could Liu Jun not know that what he did just now was a risk, once he fell into the enemy army and couldn't come back, it would be the end of being hacked to death with a knife. But in order to boost morale, Liu Jun also let go. But in fact, no matter how motivating it is, it is of little use to morale.

As time passed, one soldier after another died tragically under the scimitar. The formation was compressed back together, as there were less than forty men left in the total number of men. It was getting dark, and the twilight didn't stop the fight on the top of the rock, but only made the killing even more cold and bloody. A short chirping of horns was heard from the Turkic array, which was dissatisfied with the drag on the battle of the chainmail soldiers, and asked them to quickly settle the battle.

After hearing the order, the Turkic chainmail soldiers strengthened their fortifications, and the waves of ferocious attacks exhausted the remaining people, everyone was exhausted, but they had to resist desperately, and many people were eager to simply throw their blades and let this all end quickly. Soon after, Zhang Wulang and seven or eight guards were all killed, and all four black slaves except Wang Dahei were stabbed and fell to the ground, and their lives were unknown. Liu Dehai also suffered seven or eight minor injuries, if it weren't for the protection of the armor, I am afraid that he would have fallen to the ground with serious injuries. Liu Jun lost the protection of the four black slaves by his side, and he could only survive under the desperate protection of Qingyun'er and Ziyun'er. Everyone knew that the last moment was coming.

"General Liu, the little boy, the two girls, the old man has taken the first step." Liu Xunzhi, who had been under the protection of everyone, held a long sword around his neck at some point, and spoke slowly.

Liu Dehai sighed, returned to his sword to block the scimitars in front of him, and roared loudly: "Stop, rabbit cubs." Grandpa has something to say. ”

The Turkic soldiers were stunned, and a general who supervised the battle waved his hand and grunted a few times, and the soldiers took a few steps back, stopped attacking, and only pointed at the more than ten survivors who relied on the strength of the rock with their blades.

"Is Mud Gate going to surrender?" The leader asked in a half-baked official dialect.

"Cast your mother's surrender." Liu Dehai scolded angrily: "Grandpa wants to say a few words, and then die." ”

The leader sneered and said nothing, Liu Dehai no longer paid attention to him, and turned his head to the people around him: "Everyone, now that the matter is over, let's decide it ourselves, at least leave a whole corpse." Mr. Liu, you are a scholar and you don't have the strength in your hands, so let me help you, otherwise it will be very painful to kill and not live. ”

Liu Xun nodded straight and said: "I don't dare to have General Lao, I don't dare to increase the responsibility of the general, I still have the strength to self-judge." ”

Liu Dehai laughed and said: "That's good, I really can't do it." ”

Liu Jun slowly raised his long sword and put it on his neck and said, "It's not a big deal for everyone to go to Huangquan together." I, Liu Jun, can experience this battle and die without regrets. ”

Liu Dehai picked his fingers and praised: "The young man is a big hero and a hero, but it's a pity, it's fate." In the next life, it will be the reincarnation of the overlord. ”

Liu Jun smiled and said, "At this time, it's useless for you to pat my ass." ”

Liu Dehai smiled and raised his long sword around his neck. Qingyun'er Ziyun'er also slowly rested the blade on her neck, and the skin stimulated by the cold blade tightened, which also made their tears flow involuntarily.

Wang Dahei and the remaining dozen or so guards and soldiers also silently raised their blades and rested them on their necks.

All the Turkic soldiers were stunned by the situation in front of them, and ten of them were killing themselves with their blades in front of them without fear, which was actually more shocking than the slashing on the battlefield. Although they were opponents, they also had a trace of respect, and they all quieted down, quietly looking at the dozen or so people who were about to commit suicide.

Liu Jun closed his eyes and counted lightly: "One ...... 2. ......"

Everyone took a pose and began to exert force in their hands, waiting for the last number to be shouted out of Liu Jun's mouth. But this 'three' has never been shouted out of Liu Jun's mouth. Liu Dehai frowned and said, "Master, don't be afraid, everyone is waiting for you." ”

Liu Jun's trembling voice sounded in his ears, and the surprise and excitement in his voice could not be concealed: "Listen...... What was that? ”

Everyone listened attentively, and the whistling north wind was mixed with the faint sound of wind and thunder, like a whistling tide, and like thousands of horses galloping.

The crowd was stunned when the earth began to tremble slightly, and the sound of horses' hooves rumbled in the snowfields to the north. Everyone couldn't help but look to the north, but in the already heavy twilight, countless shining torches appeared in the north, lined up along the horizon for miles wide, and it was countless cavalry galloping with torches.

"Could it be...... Could it be...... The envoy arrived with reinforcements? Liu Dehai swallowed and foamed with difficulty, and said this sentence with difficulty.
