Chapter 785: Daxi Changru's Past (2)
On the side of Lin Shanjian, Daxi Changru slowly knelt down, looking at the bottomless abyss in front of him and howling, he cried for the first time in so many years in the army, crying so heartbreakingly. In fact, he is selfish, and his favorite of the five tiger generals under his command is the Iron Burning Tiger, and he even treats him as his own son.
Perhaps, just maybe.
If he pretended to surrender and took the Turks out of the gourd mouth as an excuse to exchange for a chance to live, but plunged into the forest and mountain streams with the Turkic vanguard army, at least 1,500 wolf riders who were smashed to pieces were not Tie Liaohu, but another subordinate of Daxi Changru, perhaps his sadness would be a little lighter.
Daxi Changru has no heirs, and the iron burning tiger is the sustenance of the rest of his life.
But this sustenance ended the journey that he had just started in such a tragic and magnificent way. The picture of his life just opened, and it ended sadly.
Daxi Changru knelt down on the edge of the deep stream, watching the corpse that fell off the cliff slowly disappear into the distance of his sight. Perhaps thousands of years from now, people will not find so many corpses buried in this deep stream. They are doomed to be nameless, destined to become the dust of history.
If the iron tiger does not die, he may become a famous general who will be praised by future generations. may surpass Daxi Changru, or even surpass Han Baohu, He Ruobi, and surpass people like Yang Su. Of course, it is also possible to do nothing and have no name. is just one of the thousands of ordinary people in the world, born in plain and died in plain.
But all this is just speculation, because he died too soon.
It was so early that the sadness in everyone's hearts was like a knife cutting, and not long ago, everyone thought he was a traitor, a traitor as cowardly as a mouse! In order to survive, he preferred to surrender to the Turks to lead the way. Not long ago, the remaining hundreds of Sui cavalry swore in their hearts that they would capture the Iron Burning Tiger alive and then strip their hearts and skins.
"Great Sui!"
When falling into the abyss, these two shocking words came into everyone's ears. The cavalry, which was less than 700 elite but also extremely tired of the Sui border army, dismounted one after another and knelt on the edge of the deep stream. They knelt on one knee with their right arm crossed their chests and performed the most standard and sincere Great Sui military salute.
"In my opinion, such a thing as life and death is idiotic to the extreme. If there is still hope for life, I will not give up, if there is no doubt about death, I would rather surrender in exchange for a glimmer of life. ”
"I don't have any reverence for the Great Sui, although I am the people of the Great Sui, but my grandfather and mother were forced to death by the rich, my brother and I almost starved to death, everyone was abandoned, the government ignored it, and the Great Sui has no meaning to me. The survival of the country and the death of the country have nothing to do with me...... But the general gave me life and let me be reborn, and the ten emperors are not as good as a hair of the general in my eyes, and if the general rebels against this court, I will be the first to wave the flag and shout. If the general is loyal to the king and serves the country, I will also follow the saddle before and after the horse. ”
"I picked up this life, so if I kill someone on the battlefield, I will earn a life."
The Iron Wolf fell to his knees and choked silently, and the words that the Iron Burning Tiger had said to him echoed in his head over and over again. It is not easy for the two brothers to come to this day through ups and downs, but today Tie Liaohu buried his life into the abyss so easily.
Tie Liaohu roared with all his strength before he died, not to prove his loyalty to this empire. Instead, he is proving his innocence and proving his loyalty to Daxi Changru.
also shouted with this voice, to Anda Creek's heart.
"Hold the mouth of the gourd!"
Daxi Changru stood up straight, looked at the unfathomable Lin Shanjian and said loudly: "Tie Liaohu has killed so many Turks alone, if we retreat half a step, how can we be worthy of his generous heart to die?" ”
"Kill the thief!"
The seven hundred iron horsemen let out a roar of rage, and everyone's eyes turned red.
On the other side of the deep stream, a young Turkic general in iron armor spat fiercely, looking at the remnants of the soldiers opposite, his eyes were full of hatred, and he loudly ordered the team to turn around and go back. The plank road that Tie Liaohu took them with the pretending surrender was indeed a shortcut, and Tie Liaohu had always been at the forefront, so that the young Turkic general did not have any suspicions.
But who knew that the Iron Liaohu would take them to a road of no return?
I don't know what age this plank road was built, it has long been dilapidated, but the fallen leaves and stumps cover the breakage of the plank road, when more and more people walk on this plank road, the plank road finally can't bear to collapse.
More than 1,000 people made the funeral goods of the Han people, and the young Turkic generals were eager to peel the hearts of the Han people.
"Ashina goes to the hoof!"
Just as the Turkic team turned around, a Turkic general came from behind and asked the young Turkic general in a loud voice: "The Great Khan asked me to ask you if you can still kill those damned Sui people." If not, the Great Khan will have to be replaced by someone else as the vanguard general! ”
"My esteemed brother!"
The sharp-edged Ashina looked at the gloomy face in front of him and said loudly: "You go back and tell the Great Khan that if I can't kill all the Sui people on the other side, I will jump from here myself!" ”
"Good!"
Ashina Jishi looked at the younger brother standing in front of him who might threaten his succession to the throne, and said with a sneer: "If you can't do it, you should know what kind of anger the Great Khan will have. ”
……
……
Gourd mouth
The battle had been more than half an hour, and the Sui army, which had cut down trees and sealed the mouth of the valley, stood outside the mouth of the valley, blocking the Turks' attacks again and again. Because the valley mouth was blocked, the Turks could only abandon their horses and attack on foot. But the combat power of the wolf riders who got off the horse was really far from the wolf riders on horseback, and the scimitars in their hands seemed too short in front of the Sui army's lance.
The Sui army guarding behind the big tree had long since run out of feather arrows, and the battle had entered a white-hot battle from the beginning. Daxi Changru divided the remaining 700 men and horses into three teams, and when the first team was too dead or wounded to hold the valley pass, the soldiers of the second team would be replaced.
There were too many Turks, and in half an hour, the first Sui army had lost more than seventy percent. Daxi Changru waved the order flag, and the second team of more than a hundred soldiers rushed forward.
The wolf that rushed out of the valley like an ant rushed forward like a madman, and gradually pressed out of the valley over the big trees that had been cut down one by one.
Ashina stood on a boulder, staring at the narrow valley in front of him with a cold look: "Tell Ashina Feiyang, if he can't attack again, I will lead the troops myself!" ”
"Yes!"
His own soldiers answered, and quickly squeezed towards the crowd in front of him. When this personal soldier found Ashina Feiyang, who was commanding in front, this equally young general was already red-eyed. This personal soldier repeated Ashina's order to go to the hoof, and Ashina Feiyang roared loudly: "You go back and tell the secret service that if I don't attack the valley before the moon rises, I will cut my own neck with a knife!" ”
At Taniguchi, Chao Qiuge cut off the wolf's tooth arrow stuck in his shoulder, and glanced back at Daxi Changru, who was standing in front of the third group of soldiers.
The third group, about 200 soldiers, was the last barrier to hold the valley.
"Brother Tie...... Are we all going to die today? ”
Chao Qiuge asked the iron wolf who led the first team to guard the valley, this resolute man had suffered at least five wounds on his body, and his blood had soaked through his armor, both his own and his enemies.
"Die and die."
The iron wolf wiped a handful of blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Ah Hu has only been gone for a long time, if I die in battle, I can still catch up with him." Before he drinks Meng Po soup, I have to kowtow to him and admit my mistake! ”
"Ah Hu is a man!"
Chao Qiuge looked at the broken horizontal knife in his hand: "Most of the brothers' weapons are useless, damn!" If Lao Tzu had a good horizontal knife, he would be able to stab a hundred more Turks! ”
"It's coming!"
The Iron Wolf said two words in a deep voice, and his face became even more solemn.
It was already night, and the sky was getting darker. The Turks lit a dense array of torches in the valley, which illuminated the valley as if it were day. Torches form a great river of fire, surging out of the valley.
Chao Qiuge poked the remnant knife in his hand into the throat of a wolf rider, but the wolf rider grabbed the handle of the knife before he died. He tugged twice and didn't pull the knife back, so he simply kicked the Turkic corpse out. He had planned to pick up the Machete of the Turks on the ground, but he simply didn't have time to bend down to pick it up. The Turkic wolf rode out like a hungry steppe wolf, and if he bent down, he would be chopped off with a knife and his head and back.
"Die!"
Chao Qiu Ge slammed his fist on the front door of the opposite wolf rider, and the nose of the wolf knight directly collapsed under the huge force. A stream of blood spurted out of his nose and splashed Chao Qiuge's face. But Chao Qiuge's fist was withdrawn, and more Turks rushed over.
At this time, most of the Sui soldiers had no weapons in their hands.
There were no weapons, but they still had a pair of fists.
The fists are useless, they still have teeth!
……
……
By the time the sun crept out from the east, corpses had piled up inside and outside the valley. Especially on the inner side of the valley, the corpses of the wolf riders had piled up more than the overturned trees. In the second half of the night, the wolf cavalry stopped the attack, because the night was too strong, and the Turks, who had an absolute advantage in numbers, suffered heavy casualties. They were carrying torches, while the Sui people were hiding in the shadows.
Ashina Feiyang, who led the troops, was whipped thirty, and Ashina went to Hu to personally bring the men and horses up.
The morning sun was as red as blood, but it was no more red than the stump and broken arm on the ground, nor was it as red as the fists of the Sui soldiers.
The soldiers of the Sui army, who had no weapons, relied on a pair of fists to block the enemy's attack, but by the morning, no one's fists were intact, and everyone's fists had been opened, revealing Bai Sensen's bones. It looks like there's still a bit of flesh color, and the white bones exposed from the cracked mouth make people feel chills in their hearts.
By early morning, there were less than 200 people left under Daxi Changru.
he
Stood at the front of the line.
Chao Qiuge, Iron Fangwolf, and Dongfang Agni were all injured, and they couldn't stand up at all. The three of them sat at the back of the line, each with a stone at his hand.
This is used to commit suicide.
If Daxi Changru failed to hold the valley before the reinforcements arrived, the stone in their hand would be the weapon with which they ended their lives.
Kill!
The frantic shouts of the Turks were heard in the valley, and the black crowd rushed over like a tidal wave.
Daxi Changru looked at the scimitar in his hand and couldn't help but shake his head. This scimitar is not easy to use, but it is still a personal soldier who exchanged his own life for it. In the middle of the night yesterday, the soldier turned over to retrieve a scimitar, but was discovered by the Turks, who had been hacked to death with a knife, and threw the scimitar back before he died.
One life, a knife for the general.
In his opinion...... It's worth it!
Just as when the Iron Burning Tiger fell into the deep stream, he even smiled when he looked at the Turks who fell down with him. I can't help but think about it with some pride...... exchanged his own life for the lives of so many steppe people...... It's really fucking worth it.
