In front of Shanhaiguan, the remnant sun is like blood.
The soldiers of the Dashun Army have been attacking for a whole day like a tide! At the foot of the castle was a thick layer of corpses, with little room for insertion.
The walls were mottled and littered with traces of artillery bombardment, and the masonry shattered, revealing one gap after another. Every gap was constantly poured up by the Great Shun army, and blood stained every brick red.
The voice was hoarse, the waist knife was curled, and a Dashun army had just climbed up, and he was stabbed head-on, and blood flowed on his head. The moment he fell, he suddenly grabbed the trouser leg of a Guan Ningjun, and the two of them fell under the city wall together, turning into meat patties!
Guan Ningjun has never encountered such a difficult opponent, they are not as equipped as themselves, and their training is not as good, but they dare to kill and fight, they don't care about their lives at all, in the face of such an opponent, they are afraid and retreat.
The defense line of Shanhaiguan was crumbling, and it seemed that the next moment, the Dashun army would be able to rush in......
The horse's hooves are stepping on the bluestone road, and the rapid sound is the most fierce horn!
"Go to the city, the commander has an order, the cavalry go to the city!"
When the knight had finished shouting, he turned his horse's head and continued to gallop. When Gu Zhenhua heard this order, his brows immediately furrowed, it had only been half a day since the start of the battle, and Wu Sangui actually wanted to send the last mobile force, which showed the fierceness of the battle.
"Brothers, since the commander has an order, everyone will go to the city together with Benjue and fight with the thieves!"
"Okay, follow the lord to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!" The soldiers were particularly enthusiastic.
In the past ten days, Gu Zhenhua did nothing else, but visited every military camp, chatted with the soldiers, taught them first aid knowledge, competed with each other in archery, ate and lived together, and was quickly recognized by the soldiers.
More than 2,000 people followed closely behind Gu Zhenhua and rushed to the city wall of Shanhaiguan.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The cannons outside the city continued to roar, and the world's No. 1 Xiongguan was in a state of turmoil.
"Kill!"
A general of the Dashun army had already ascended the ladder to the top of the city, he held a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, like a tiger, and cut down two Guanning troops one after another.
Gu Zhenhua instantly pulled out his waist knife and was about to rush forward, but Guo Yunlong on the side grabbed him.
"Sir, leave the work of charging into battle to others, if you are injured, you can't explain it to the marshal."
"Guo Guerrilla, can't you still believe Benjue's skills, just a few thieves, and you can still hurt Benjue, it's a joke!"
"That's not going to work either!"
Guo Yunlong said firmly, and more than a dozen soldiers behind him had already held down the handle of the knife, forming a half-moon-shaped encirclement, surrounding Gu Zhenhua in the middle.
Gu Zhenhua squinted his eyes and looked at these people, and suddenly smiled heartily: "Guo Guji, I'm afraid you're not for Benjue's safety, right?" ”
Guo Yunlong lowered his head slightly: "Lord Gu, I admire your talent and bearing, and I am willing to follow you into battle to kill the enemy, but it is difficult to disobey your fate, please don't embarrass us!" ”
"Yes, but since you're on the battlefield, you can't be a spectator!" Saying that, Gu Zhenhua held the bow in his hand, took out three heavy arrows from the quiver, twisted them in his hand, squinted his eyes, and stared at the Dashun army that had rushed to the city wall.
I saw Gu Zhenhua suddenly pull the bow full, and the three arrows in his hand were buckled on the string, and in an instant, the three arrows came out of his hand, in a zigzag shape, and shot towards the general of Dashun.
"Not good!"
This general, who had been a great enemy for a long time, also felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly covered his face with a shield. But Gu Zhenhua's three arrows were so powerful that the shield couldn't stop them at all.
Two of the arrows pierced the hide, shattering the wood inside, and the other grazed the edge of the shield and hit the throat. The arrow went through the throat and peeked out from behind, and the general's body fell to the ground with a pop!
The soldiers who were fighting hard around them were stunned for a moment when they saw the most difficult guy fall, and then they cheered. Gu Zhenhua didn't stop at all, he continued to shoot with a bow and arrows, these days he competed with the Guan Ning army, Gu Zhenhua's ability has also increased a lot, especially the physical injuries have also healed, and his state is unprecedented.
A hundred steps away, one arrow at a time, the Dashun army that killed the head of the city was named one by one, and they kept falling. Especially Gu Zhenhua's bow and arrow are very powerful, as long as he is hit by an arrow, he will definitely die, and the city wall is full of corpses.
The Guan Ning army was also unprecedentedly inspired, and the morale was high, and some soldiers couldn't help shouting: "Long live the loyal and brave man!" ”
"Long live the loyal and brave man!"
"Long live the loyal and brave man!"
In an instant, an earth-shattering shout sounded over the city, and the soldiers of the Guanning army mustered up their courage and drove all the remaining Dashun troops down.
The soldiers cheered loudly after the victory, but when they turned around, they saw that there was no one in the position where Gu Zhenhua was standing in the original pen, and the soldiers looked at each other, all confused.
……
In a courtyard near the city gate, Gu Zhenhua sat steadily in the middle, surrounded by Guo Yunlong's soldiers beside him.
At this moment, someone suddenly rushed over and handed over an order written by Wu Sangui to Guo Yunlong. Guo Yunlong took it and took a look, and suddenly his eyes almost fell to the ground, he couldn't believe it, he was like a wood carved clay sculpture, standing on the spot.
"Guerrilla Guo, what order did Wu Dashuai give you to make you so embarrassed?"
"Great, the handsome man wants to ask Lord Gu to go over and talk about it." As Guo Yunlong spoke, his eyes wandered a little, and he didn't dare to look directly into Gu Zhenhua's eyes.
Gu Zhenhua smiled slightly: "Guo Guerrilla, I'm afraid I want to bring Gu's head over, right?" ”
"Lord Gu, this order must be wrong, I'll go find the big handsome now!"
Guo Yunlong suddenly turned around and was about to go outside, although he didn't spend much time with Gu Zhenhua, he also admired Gu Zhenhua from the bottom of his heart, Wu Sangui wanted to kill such a pillar of talent, he really couldn't accept it.
Before he could leave, Yue Poyu suddenly rushed in with two people, covered in gunsmoke and with two arrows stuck in his armor.
As soon as he came in, he said loudly: "The thieves have killed the city again, why don't you let Lord Gu supervise the battle?" ”
Guo Yunlong shook his head painfully: "The big handsome is going to kill Lord Gu!" ”
"What, you're not kidding, Lord Gu is both wise and brave, is the handsome man confused, he actually wants to kill him, is he afraid that the thieves won't be able to kill him?"
"I don't know." Guo Yunlong said firmly: "I'm going to find the big handsome, I can't be so stuffy!" ”
It was only at this time that Gu Zhenhua slowly stood up and smiled slightly: "Guo Guerrilla, break the captive, don't worry, Benjue is clear in his heart." ”
"Sir, tell me about it!" Yue Poyu asked anxiously.
Gu Zhenhua sneered slightly: "Wu Dashuai and Li Zicheng are fighting, he has no reason not to use me, even if Ben Jue commits a crime, he should be punished, why do you want to kill me for no reason?" ”
Gu Zhenhua said with a smile to himself: "I heard that ten days ago, Wu Dashuai sent someone to contact the Manchu Qing Dynasty. ”
Yue Poyu nodded: "That's right, the marshal has already told us that this is to borrow troops for revenge and jointly eliminate the Liukou." I have a blood feud with the Manchu Tatars, but the rogue is powerful, and there is no way. ”
"Hahaha, hahaha!" Gu Zhenhua looked up to the sky and laughed: "Borrowing the help of the teacher to suppress is just a deceptive talk, will the Manchu Qing Dynasty be stupid enough to shed blood for the sake of the Ming Dynasty." When Wu Sangui reached this point, he could only surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty before he was ready to use Benjue's head as a vote. It's just a pity that the good athletes of the Guan Ning Army, from now on, they will be slaves to the Manchu Qing Dynasty with a pig's tail! ”
"No!" Yue Poyu was like being struck by lightning, and sat on the ground. He never dreamed that one day he would surrender to the Manchus, wouldn't that be a thief as his father, where would he be able to bear it.
Guo Yunlong also clenched his fists, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said breathlessly: "I don't believe it, this is just Lord Gu's speculation, it is impossible for the handsome to be cleared!" ”
"Wu Sangui's uncle is Zu Dashou, what is impossible. Brother Guo Xian, you can't believe my words, right? ”
With the voice, a war horse walked in from outside, and on the horse sat a knight in his early thirties, tall, with facial features like sculptures, rough and heroic, especially a pair of eyes, full of brilliance. It's just that when he speaks, he seems to be lacking in qi.
"Brother Li!"
Guo Yunlong stood up abruptly and asked in surprise, "You, your injuries are healed?" ”
Li Xu smiled slightly: "Thanks to Brother Xian for introducing Lord Gu, otherwise my life would be completely over." ”
While speaking, Li Xu's war horse came to Gu Zhenhua's face, jumped off the war horse, Li Xu knelt on one leg, and said loudly: "Lord Gu, the grace of saving your life, remember it from the bottom of your heart." Now that Wu Sangui has taken refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Li will never bend his knees and surrender! Swear to follow Lord Gu to the death, and ask Lord Gu to give an order. ”
"Hahaha, Brother Li, there are two ways for people to live, one is to straighten their chests, whether they are rich or poor, they are all men who stand up to the sky! One is to grovel and be willing to be a slave, perhaps eat well, live well, be a high-ranking official, and be a wife and son. But no matter what time it gets, such a thing is a dog, a heinous scum! ”
Gu Zhenhua stared at the people present, his sharp gaze sweeping over every face.
"How do you want to live, kneeling or standing?"
