Chapter 33: The Battle of Anhui City (5) The Battle of Shaokun
There is a large mountain forest between Xiangyu County and Anhui City, and even if the morning sun has risen at this time, the sunlight will not penetrate the canopy of the tree at all.
However, in the crevices of the jungle, we clearly saw a teenager and a small grave bag.
The five words of Gu Yuanming's tomb appeared on the wooden plaque in front of the tomb bag.
Niu Fen kowtowed three times to the grave again, and he no longer had tears at this time.
"Master, don't worry, I will definitely carry it forward!"
"Your hatred, I will definitely calculate it clearly!"
The cow strode out of the woods, but what he saw made him frown.
Three thousand cavalry were chased by two horsemen, which was also very rare in Kyushu.
"I'm not running! I'm going to kill it back! ”
"That's right! Don't run anymore! ”
"Chang Sheng's dog wants to run away by himself, why drag us, Lao Tzu won't run away!"
"Kill back!"
A few leaders shouted loudly, and many of the fleeing soldiers were immediately infected.
"Rush!" The 3,000 Zhiguo Iron Cavalry and the 2,000 Qingguo Cavalry had already started to hedge in the next moment.
"Kill the dog!" A violent voice resounded through the mountains and forests, and I saw a man in cloth with his hands straight back, wrapped in light white Dao light, as fast as lightning, and rushed into the Qingguo troops one step faster.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Suddenly the blood was surging into the sky, and as he fought, he threw countless severed limbs and stumps out of the crowd, but the man's face did not change, as if he had killed not humans but pigs and dogs......
"Vomit...... vomit ......" bloody scene made many soldiers of the Zhiguo country couldn't help but vomit. Although these veterans are all battle-hardened, the severed limbs and internal organs of the large area of human and animal mixed in front of them are really...
"Bear with the, this warrior is charging and you're here to make women vomit?"
"rush over to me!"
"Kill!"
…
"The lord (general) mourns!" Although a group of people surrounded Huang Quan, when they heard the news of his nephew's death, Huang Quan still took a few steps back and almost fell!
"Zheng'er!"
"General!" Liu Shaokun strode forward and said to Huang Quan, "At this time, the Qingguo people have not given up the attack, and are stepping up their attack on our main gate!" ”
"General, cheer up! General Huang Zheng in the Spirit of Heaven, does he want to see you like this? ”
Huang Quan sighed deeply and said, "Shaokun, I don't know what you said, it's just that I'm confused, so I'll leave it to you here!" ”
On the other side, Li Zhong had already returned to the main gate of Anhui City, and Huang Zheng's desperate resistance had made him lose a good opportunity, and he became more and more impatient.
"The number of troops in Anhui City is less than 50,000, everyone has given me more strength, I must break this Anhui City today!"
"Catapult ready!"
"Put!"
"Boom, boom!" Dozens of catapults were activated, and any projectile with fire oil could hit the wall, smashing a crack in the wall.
Not to mention the ammunition that was thrown over the tower, and the soldiers who were hit fell on their backs one by one and died violently on the spot. But thanks to the addition of fire oil, the corpses of these soldiers also began to burn!
Suddenly there were three or five large fires on the top of the city tower.
"Set up a ladder!"
I saw a large number of Qingguo infantry flocking to the city, and one by one, they were not afraid of the arrows of the country, and resolutely erected dozens of cloud ladders on the city wall.
"The smashing of the city gate will send people, and all the dead soldiers of Qingguo will give me a ladder!"
"The first to ascend the gates, I will guarantee you eternal wealth!" While giving orders, Li Zhong continued to harvest the lives of the people with the bow and arrow in his hand.
"Smash me!" Shi Tao and Feng Hao respectively commanded the soldiers on both sides of the city gate, and these soldiers also meticulously carried out the order, throwing the big stones on the ladder one after another!
"If there is another team of people inside the city gate, you must resist the collision for me!" Liu Shaokun is a typical talent with both civil and military skills, in addition to giving orders, he also took the lead in fighting with the Qingguo soldiers who climbed the city tower.
"Strategist... There are too many of them! ”
Liu Shaokun pulled out his long sword from the body of a Qingguo soldier and glanced at the city wall, where a large number of soldiers had already climbed the tower.
The stones of Zhiguo have been smashed, and the superiority of Qingguo's military strength has been fully exerted, and with the method of corpses, he can also climb the castle tower.
Once a soldier ascends the stairs, the chain reaction is terrible. As long as it overturns the soldiers of Zhiguo guarding the ladder, then Qingguo's troops can climb the tower very quickly.
"Damn it!" Liu Shaokun spat fiercely, he knew that if it went on like this, it would be a matter of time before Wancheng missed. Although in the end, Wancheng may not be able to defend it, but all he has to do is do his best!
Biting, Liu Shaokun put the long sword directly on his left hand, and with a bang, a narrow wound had been cut out of his wrist.
Liu Shaokun's long sword did not leave his wrist, and the long sword at this time kept drinking his blood as if it was alive. And the blood on his face was gradually dissipating, and his lips were turning pale.
The soldiers who saw this scene thought that their military advisor was crazy. But he, who had been cultivating the formation path for many years, had to do so.
If you want to set up a formation, you must have the blood of a living soldier as an eye. At the moment, Liu Shaokun was not prepared in a hurry, and it was impossible for him to make a move to bleed the soldiers around him.
The blood of elite soldiers, it seems that only he can meet the conditions at this moment, so after a few thoughts, Liu Shaokun resolutely cut his wrist.
"In the name of the Great Grandmaster of my Array Dao!"
Liu Shaokun raised the long sword that drank blood in the air, and the white Dao light on his body slowly spread.
"With my blood as an eye!"
"Use the long sword in my hand as a pen to lay down these eight desolate ** arrays!"
After speaking, Liu Shaokun's long sword was waved in mid-air, and a string of wonderful symbols were carved by him in the air.
"The east is the Qianmen, the south is the Kunmen, the west is the water gate, the north is the fire gate, the middle is the death gate, and I am the life gate!"
"The eight desolations are out, and the princes of the heroes retreat! Eight Desolations** Formation, give it to me! ”
"Boom!" The symbols engraved in the air by Liu Shaokun emitted white light and bombarded directly under the city tower.
"Shaokun! I'm here to help! Huang Quan walked slowly up to the city tower, although he was still silent in the pain of losing his nephew, but the moment Liu Shaokun launched the formation, he had already felt it.
If you are still entangled in personal emotions at this time, then the next person to die must be yourself.
"The rain is coming!" Huang Quan waved his sword, and then grabbed it at the sky with his bare hands.
It was still the morning when the sun was in the sky, and suddenly the clouds were thick, followed by the pouring rain.
The white light under the city gradually dissipated, but the moment the white light dissipated, everyone was stunned for a second.
Li Zhong clenched his teeth tightly, clenched his hands into fists, and the strength was so great that his nails were three points into the flesh. As an old fritter on the battlefield, how could he not know that he was facing a great master of the Formation Dao.
"It's not human!" This was the first idea that entered the minds of Gyeongkook soldiers in large quantities.
After the white light dispersed, more than a thousand soldiers appeared. But these more than 1,000 soldiers can no longer be called human.
The transparent rain is the main tissue that makes up their bodies, and these more than 1,000 transparent water men are each equipped with water swords, and their eyes are hideous!
"Kill me!" Liu Shaokun waved his long sword with difficulty and gave orders, and the large amount of blood loss obviously made this bloody man a little unable to support it.
But none of this matters, if the formation is successfully activated, his mission will be completed.
After hearing Liu Shaokun's order, these water people who were standing in place suddenly moved, without a monstrous killing cry or fierce momentum, but there must be these two more terrifying.
The soldiers who were still in shock became the first group of souls under the sword, and the water swords in their hands were extremely nimble, and the water swords in their hands were sharper than the weapons forged from steel.
"Don't be afraid! Press it on me! "Some experienced veterans of Qingguo have already reacted, and under their leadership, some soldiers also plan to fight these water people.
But they were wrong, very wrong. An old soldier rushed forward, his long knife slashing out, cutting off a man at a lazy waist, and when he was about to shout loudly to strengthen his morale, he found that he could no longer speak.
The severed upper body of the water man still had the ability to move, and a sword pierced the veteran's heart. Then the upper and lower halves of the water man's body slowly healed, as if they had not been cut just now.
"Immortal!" This is the second idea that entered the minds of the Gyeongkook soldiers in large numbers.
With Liu Shaokun's sacrifice of the Eight Desolations, the decline on the side of Anhui City has been fully alleviated, without the continuous climbing of the soldiers downstairs, the soldiers who have been in the city tower are like the target of the public, and in less than a while, they have been killed.
Of course, the situation under the city tower is not very good, with the charge of the water people and the cover of heavy rain, a large number of Qingguo's charging infantry were slaughtered, and there were more than one or two hundred thousand.
"General! It can't go on like this! A Qingguo soldier said anxiously.
Li Zhong's face had eased at this time, and he clearly saw that the bodies of several water men were slowly decomposing.
"Hold on a little longer! This formation is estimated to be over! ”
…
"Shaokun, how long can you hold on?"
"Half an hour." Liu Shaokun replied with difficulty to Huang Quan's words, "General, as soon as this half an hour passes, we will have no choice but to retreat!" ”
Huang Quan's face was gloomy, whether it was the great cause of the Taibai Sect or Huang Zheng's hatred, he was very unwilling.
"General, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood! We are now gathering the remnants of our army and preserving our strength.
We've done our best! It's a big deal, we don't want Wancheng, as long as we keep these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, we can wave the army south! ”
Gritting his teeth harder, Huang Quan put his hands even harder, trying to use the increase in rainfall to maintain the existence of these water people for a longer time.
But all this is his powerless struggle, and there will always be an end to such consumption.
"General, the overall situation is important!" Liu Shaokun didn't want this Anhui City, but at this time, he could only abandon his pawn to protect the car.
Just as Huang Quan was about to give up, an intelligence soldier suddenly rolled and knelt in front of him.
"General! There is a treasure in the north with thousands of people and horses who are rushing to the north, I don't know if they are friends or foes! ”
