Chapter 239: Nothing Works
When Jiang Baiyan first told him about this, he was still a little disapproving, and when he came here today, he felt that what Xin He said was not a lie, every scene here was arranged by Cao Kang himself, and the guests who came here all applauded, saying that this place is a fairyland on earth, a collection of elegance in the world, unique ingenuity, and poetry into painting.
"Hehe, so, old and decrepit, would it be good to introduce this Zhongjing scene to the general?"
"That's great!"
Liu Fa nodded and made another gesture of please.
Still walking in the forefront, Lin Tianbei slowed Liu Fa by half a step, with a gentle smile on his face, and introduced every scenery of the green garden to Liu Fa on the side, the head of the family, even if he has good intentions, he will not lose the face and demeanor of the head of the family, it is impossible to be humble to Liu Fa, so Lin Tianbei has always behaved neither humble nor arrogant, and his words are decent. Only Liu Fa, the person concerned, can understand the humility implied in Lin Tianbei's attitude.
"General Liu, please look here, this small building, called 'Mountain Tower', is a poem from the previous dynasty: 'The water pavilion is suitable for the time, and the mountain tower looks at the evening.'" This place is secluded, you can go upstairs and overlook, and the adjacent cloud beach is far away, so this place has always been the place where the literati and scholars of Xiangyin gather to discuss the elegance, but in the past, when Cao Kang's rebel thief was there, he was extremely stingy, and it was not easy to enter this green garden, I Lin was in Xiangyin for half a lifetime, and rarely came to this green garden, but this scenery is pleasant, but it teaches people to live nostalgic......"
Liu Fa nodded, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, the family is a family in the end, just look at the architecture and layout of this green garden, its magnificent and magnificent color, faintly with a calm and atmospheric majesty, the four surnames in the southwest, in the end it is still extraordinary!
The sky is slowly getting late, after the Yixing Shan Shan, Lin Tianbei also said goodbye, there is only one person left in the green garden, not far away, the silk and bamboo are leisurely, the qin and the song, but in Liu Hua's ears, but it is so distant.
The night is getting deeper, the willows are still fluttering, although there are no new sprouts, there is still a smart fluttering, on the water pavilion, there is only one person, sitting there quietly......
Far away from the dust,
No intention to get drunk on the night lake.
cicada disturbance water bug,
The shadow of the water sky lantern is withered.
……
After all, the New Year has come, in Xiangyin City, there is a lot of laughter, red and joy, and peace everywhere, but in the dust, it is still a cloud!
Chenguan, a cloud, on the head of the city, full of holes, as if the sky is falling, a big flag erected on the head of the city, although it looks a little ridiculous, because this ridiculous flag looks like it is not as good as a burning stick, but it has never fallen, it is the belief of the soldiers in the dust, people are in the city, the city is broken, that's all!
Dark clouds shrouded the dusty sky, without the slightest hint of New Year's flavor, a group of blackened soldiers stood at the head of the city, holding the knife in their hands, their faces were indifferent, looking at the troops assembled under the city, as if looking at a group of ants.
"Kill, give me another try!"
An Shixian really has no confidence, a small dust pass, a few days of hard work, he can't break it, for the first time, he has a sense of frustration, is he really old!
On top of the chariot, a small stove was lit, and it was so warm that he felt the cold, as if the north wind had blown into his bones.
Under the city, the soldiers of Mangyuan were also numb, they held the blades in their hands, looked at the dust pass, as if looking at a mound, their faces were expressionless, but they continued to move forward under the persecution of the overseer team, looking at the banner on the head of the city, they invariably gave birth to a trace of confusion.
Dust Pass, beacon smoke everywhere, Mangyuan City tens of thousands of troops launched another attack on the south gate of the dust pass. The dense soldiers of the Mangyuan Army continued to climb the city wall like ants, and were pushed down or slashed by the defenders, and only countless black spots were seen climbing and falling on the side of the towering city wall, accompanied by shouts of killing, screams, and lives were lost forever between breaths. The sound of the huge trebuchet roared, and the solid iron bullets slammed into the city wall, stirring up a burst of stone mist with the smell of gunsmoke, and on an open ground outside the city, a large area of dense Mangyuan army rushed to the city wall like a tide, and rushed to the city wall without fear of death, going forward and successively, endlessly, and the sound of killing was terrible, and it was terrifying. In the moat under the city wall, the corpses of the reckless army are piled up, the blood dyes the clear river water red, and the slowly flowing blood water reflects the residual blood of the sunset, and the battlefield is full of cruel and bloody poetry.
On the horse paths inside the city walls, the wounded soldiers of the city were covered in blood, rolling on the ground and crying, and some of them disappeared silently and silently.
A wave of strong attacks was retreated, and in a moment, a large group of Mangyuan soldiers swarmed in, and Nangong Zhi's anger became more and more heavy, and he became more and more desperate.
He is not afraid of death, the crockpot does not break from the well, and the general will inevitably die in front of the battle.
Nangong was already prepared, but he was worried that if the dust pass was lost, would it be a disgraceful stain on his name, and he was even more worried about the fate of this loss, once the dust pass was lost, it would bring a lot of trouble to Liu Fan, or to Qin Wen and Lord Qin Shaofu.
"Hehe, it's just ......"
Nangong Zhi smiled miserably, forget it, it's so far, it's useless to think about it, fight the last bit of strength, and then die for the country, I will die without regrets, how to go next, I can only rely on Liu Yuan, there is only so much he can do, and he can only do so much.
Jiang Baiyan was covered in blood, blood scabs had formed in many places, and a fishy and smelly smell could be smelled from a distance, he was injured in many places, but he was still standing, and every wound he had in exchange for was the death of several Mangyuan soldiers, he gritted his teeth tightly, did not say a word, just kept raising the rolling wood in his hand and smashed it into the chaotic army that climbed the city wall.
"Huh? Here comes another army...... It's cavalry! A soldier pointed in astonishment to the empty plain five miles to the northwest.
Jiang Baiyan didn't raise his head, and said angrily: "It's coming, what's so strange?" Anyway, it's a death, and it's the same for Lao Tzu to die under anyone. ”
"No, my lord, the army...... It seems that he is not a soldier of the reckless plain......"
The soldier's eyes widened, and he looked carefully to the northwest.
"What?"
Jiang Baiyan turned his head in some surprise, only to see a few cavalry slowly emerging on the horizon in the distance, and then, like mushrooms after a rain, there were more and more cavalry, more and more dense, and the dark gray armor they were wearing, under the light of the sun, was like a huge torrent, rolling towards Chenguan City.
This team of centaurs is exceptionally majestic, it doesn't look like the soldiers and horses of the Southern Prison, but more like barbarians, yes, this is exactly the men and horses under the command of Qing Yunfei who have arrived.
Everyone was stunned, whether it was the reckless plain besieging the city, or the soldiers defending the city, they all unconsciously stopped their movements, and looked stupidly at this dark gray torrent approaching closer and closer, and the cavalry formed an offensive cone formation, and the tip of the cone pointed directly at An Shixian's Chinese army outside the city.
In the rapid gallop, the cavalry suddenly shot out of thin air in the middle of a big flag, the flag was written in black on a red background, and the dragon flew and the phoenix danced with a big "willow" character. When the banner was raised, An Shixian's face changed greatly, and Ye Qiqi was also as if he had been struck by lightning, but Nangong Zhifu and Jiang Baiyan became excited, and they were full of ecstasy, as if they had drunk a sip of hot wine in this cold winter.
"Reinforcements are coming! Reinforcements are coming! At this moment, Nangong Ji Nu looked up to the sky and laughed like a child, he roared, raised the long knife in his hand, and shouted: "Brothers, brothers, General Liu Fa is leading reinforcements here!" The dust pass will not be lost! We're not going to die! ”
After a short period of silence among the soldiers defending the city, they erupted in earth-shattering cheers, and everyone hugged their heads and cried, some were happy for the rest of their lives after the war, and some were sad for the robes that died in battle.
An Shixian's body trembled slightly, and his heart was sour. Reinforcements really came, and this battle was defeated!
