readx; When Wei Hong asked Zhou Chang if he could mobilize the right guard, he was in a mountain col west of Minzhou, at the junction of the border between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoA sparsely manned and miserable army is resting here. The total number of the whole team was less than 1,000 men, and more than seventy percent of the soldiers were wounded, light or severe, the light ones were only flesh wounds, and the heavy ones were covered with bandages. These people were wearing special heavy armor, and the armor was mottled with knife marks, and none of them had their armor intact. Like the soldiers, the five hundred horses grazing on the right side of the col were more or less wounded. With such a miserable army, uninformed people will definitely think that this is a defeated army that has suffered a defeat and has been beaten and lost its armor.

In fact, it was such an army, which resisted the attack of more than 20,000 people in half a month. From outside the city of Minzhou, he fought all the way to almost enter the territory of Tubo, and fought and retreated, sometimes fled, sometimes counterattacked, sometimes detoured behind the enemy, and sometimes ran long distances. From the 3,000 soldiers and horses at the beginning, only 964 people remain. Every soldier alive in this army has slashed at least three or more enemy soldiers, and each of them can be said to have achieved great success. Just last night, a light cavalry force of 2,000 people in Tibet launched a night attack on this army, and such a miserable army repelled the 2,000 cavalry team in Tibet. Throughout the history of the Tang Dynasty, there is only one army that can have such capabilities, and that is the Jade Dragon Guard!

In the middle of the col is a boulder the size of an oxcart and covered with moss on the shady side. Cheng Chumo, who was wearing an eye patch in his right eye and hanging from his chest with a thick bandage wrapped around his left arm, was dyed brown by a mixture of mud and blood, sitting on a boulder with a wild grass in his mouth, looking at the direction of the only entrance and exit of the mountain col, and said with confidence: "Look at this posture, we can hold out for another five or six days, if we are lucky, it will not be a problem to hold on for seven or eight days." ”

Li Dejian, who was no better than Cheng Chumo, leaned next to the boulder, only using his right leg to support the ground, and his left leg was constantly trembling in the air, as if his left leg was seriously injured. Hearing Cheng Chumo say this, Li Dejian rarely did not contradict him, sighed lightly, and said quietly: "I knew that I had mixed up with this field, and I shouldn't have begged Mr. to come to Longyou Road when I was in Liangzhou." It's good now, I've put my life in. ”

"What's the matter? Are you scared? Cheng Chu pursed his mouth silently, and with the only remaining left eye, he squinted at Li Dejian, even if it was a one-eyed, it was still fierce, and his look of disdain was undoubtedly revealed.

Li Dejian stretched out his hand and patted his left leg, and suddenly grinned in pain. When the pain was relieved, Li Dejian put his hands on his chest with ten fingers, supported the boulder with his right arm, looked at Yamaguchi and said softly: "I have been idle for so long, and I haven't even married a daughter-in-law, do you think I'm afraid?" ”

Hearing this, Cheng Chumo shrugged his shoulders and said disappreciably: "What's the use of marrying a daughter-in-law?" Is it not like Mr. Circling around a few women? I'm not that idle! Speaking of this, Cheng Chumo paused and sighed: "But then again, I don't know if Mr. will come to save us, if you can not die, it is better not to die." ”

Zhou Ding and Liu Cheng, who were standing on the other side of the boulder, glanced at each other, and then said in a firm tone: "Mr. will definitely come to save us!" ”

Cheng Chumo twisted his head in the direction of Zhou Ding and Liu Cheng, looked at Zhou Ding with a bandage on his head with one eye, and then looked at Liu Cheng who had only four fingers left in his right hand, pursed his lips, and asked, "Why are you two so sure?" ”

Before Zhou Ding and Liu Cheng could reply, Li Dejian sighed and interjected: "With Mr.'s personality and the friendship between us, if we knew that we were still alive, we would definitely come to the rescue at all costs." It's a pity that now Mr. doesn't know if we're still alive, and secondly, he doesn't know where we are, how to save us? Although I rarely say frustrating words, this time, a few of our brothers, I'm afraid it's really bad luck. ”

Although Zhou Ding and Liu Cheng had blind confidence in Wei Hong, when they heard Li Dejian's words, they still sighed as if they were resigned to their fate. Just when a few people lamented the bad luck, a fairly 'able-bodied' soldier in armor came running over, came to him, knelt on one knee, and shouted: "General! Five miles in front of the mountain pass, the enemy army was found, the number was about 3,000, judging from the dress and appearance, it was the Xiangxiong army! ”

Hearing this, Cheng Chumo, who had been sitting on the boulder, supported the boulder with both hands, and jumped off the boulder very dexterously. Then he crossed his hands on his hips and shot at Yamaguchi with a left eye that was sharper than when both eyes were sound, and a scrappy smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, exclaiming, "It's a good time!" Grandpa was still thinking just now, when will these wild dogs come to die! Grandpa's halberd is already hungry and thirsty! ”

After saying that, Cheng Chumo ignored Li Dejian, Zhou Ding, and Liu Cheng around him, and took the lead in running towards the war horse. Li Dejian, who was left behind, shook his head and sighed, and with Liu Cheng's support, he moved in the direction of the war horse with difficulty, and at the same time rushed to the generals who were guarding the surrounding area and ordered: "The enemy is coming, pass on my order, the whole army will gather, and the cavalry will line up at the mountain pass to resist the first wave of enemy attacks." The infantry is in the rear, and without my order, the infantry cannot move a single soldier! ”

With the issuance of Li Dejian's order, the wounded soldiers of the Jade Dragon Guard quickly moved into action, although they had been forced to the end of the road by the enemy, but the morale of the Jade Dragon Guard was not at all low, even stronger than the morale of those 'second- and third-rate' troops in their heyday. For the current Jade Dragon Guard, it is already enough, if you can kill one more person, you will earn one person, and now what you are fighting for is not how to escape, but after you die on the battlefield and go to the underworld, how many enemy souls will open the way for yourself!

With the help of Zhou Ding and Liu Cheng, Li Dejian turned over and got on the horse, stuffed his right foot into the stirrup, and pulled his left foot on the side of the horse's back. In order to prevent the war horse from running and falling Li Dejian, Zhou Ding found a hemp rope and tied Li Dejian's left leg tightly to the horse's belly. When he was tied, the wound was touched, and Li Dejian, who was in pain, broke out in a cold sweat, but he never refused to say a word.

Tie up Li Dejian, Zhou Ding and Liu Cheng also turned over and got on the horse, accompanied Li Dejian to the mountain pass, one left and one right, and Cheng Chu Mo Na had already stood in the mountain pass and waited for a long time. The wind blew in along the mountain pass, blowing the cloak on the one-eyed Cheng Chumo's body to tremble, but it really had a bit of the momentum of Xiahoudun during the Three Kingdoms period!
