321 Tears for men
On the battlefield, either you die, or I die, there are many ways to kill people, with artillery bombardment, with fire guns, with bows and arrows, with knives, with stones, for the soldiers who stick to the Feilai Peak Wenchong Qianhu Station, there are many ways to kill the enemy in front, but in the back, you can only pick up cold weapons and stones to fight hand-to-hand with the bandits who rushed up, the knife is red, and fight to the death.
"Huh" Lu Haoshan exhaled a long breath, took the sweat towel handed over by his subordinates, wiped the sweat off his forehead, although it was winter, but Lu Haoshan was sweating and panting like a cow, this is all tired, Zhang Xianzhong and Lao Hui took turns to charge, Lu Haoshan did not receive the good news of the arrival of reinforcements, but first received the bad news that the gunpowder and arrows were exhausted, there was no way, but he could only pick up the knife and gun and fight with them.
As a coach, he is still a coach with low combat effectiveness, Lu Haoshan was forcibly pulled by his subordinates to prevent him from going to the front line, just throwing stones below at a high place, the danger is not great, but it is very consuming, sweat is soaked and dry, dry and wet, and the cotton armor does not know how much it gets wet in a day.
On the mountain, there was a wolf smoke that had been warning all day, it was a signal for help, and the bottom of the mountain was full of cold corpses, both civilians and mobs, they may have been voluntary or forced, but the same thing is that they all fell forever.
Either you die, or I die, Lu Haoshan and his subordinates are unwilling to fall, so they can only let the opponent fall.
One day, after attacking for a whole day, Lu Haoshan didn't remember how many enemy attacks he had repulsed, nor did he count the casualties of the enemy and us, but he only knew one thing, that is, to hold on and use the enemy's life and blood to win hope for himself to survive.
"My lord, when do you think those reinforcements will come?" Li Dingguo stood next to Lu Haoshan and said worriedly.
Lu Haoshan said lightly: "I don't know, it should be soon." ”
Zhao Gongchang looked at the huge pillar of smoke above his head, and then looked at the more than ten pillars of smoke rising around him. Gritting his teeth, he said: "These thieves are so hateful that they deliberately make trouble everywhere, so that the reinforcements will not arrive in time."
Don't look at the old Huihui, Zhang Xianzhong, they have their own faction, each has its own people and territory, in fact, they also have cooperation, these thieves are rich and noble There are some difficulties, but there can still be common hardships, although the Ming Empire has become a "broken settlement", the law and order have collapsed, and the training of soldiers is lax, but there are still three catties of nails in the rotten ship. There is still an overwhelming advantage in dealing with these rabble who wash their feet and go to the fields, and in order to survive, they will hold together, which can be seen from the fact that they took Zijin Liang as the leader of the alliance when they first entered Shanxi.
"Lao Huihui, Zhang Xianzhong, and Zhang Miaoshou were found here, and there was such a big movement around, there must be many people who responded, and they still have the patience to look for people everywhere to be cannon fodder, it is estimated that those officers and soldiers are not so soon, please be careful." Zhao Gongchang said with some guilt.
If they had found out earlier, the soldiers of Wenchong Qianhu would have taken advantage of their horses to escape from the siege. Then, just like dealing with Lao Huihui, he killed all these people one by one, but it was too late now, and when he found out, he was already surrounded. Trapped in this Feilai Peak.
Lu Haoshan nodded, reassured his subordinates and said, "Okay, I have already arranged this matter, and I believe that reinforcements will come soon." Don't be idle, help dig the stones, and the officer will go and see the wounded warriors. ”
"Yes. My lord. ”
After Li Dingguo and the others retreated, Tang Qiang said in a low voice: "My lord, if the wolf smoke we emitted is because these thieves make trouble and prevent them from coming in time, this can barely be said, but before we were surrounded, we had already released the flying pigeons, and in addition, we also sent scouts to ask for help, why has there been no movement for a day and a night, this is unusual." ”
"The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it" Lu Haoshan shook his head and said: "We have been in the limelight recently, and we are probably jealous." ”
The army of all walks of life encircled and suppressed the bandits, the credit is big and small, Lu Haoshan's Wen Chong Department has recently been in the limelight, and it has been rewarded by the emperor, there must be many people who are jealous, hearing that they are surrounded, it is estimated that many are waiting to see a good show, not to mention anything else, that is, Deng Xi, who is also a Sichuan army, is jealous of the merits of his subordinates, not the same system, then they want to see your jokes, in their eyes, if Lu Haoshan falls, maybe they can share a little more credit and imperial favor.
Anyway, it's a mess, thieves are everywhere, where is not to grab credit?
Tang Qiang wanted to vaguely analyze this relationship to Lu Haoshan, but he didn't expect Lu Haoshan to see it a long time ago, paused for a moment, and then said with admiration: "My lord, what should we do now?" ”
"Cold salad" Lu Haoshan said confidently: "Don't worry, someone will come soon." ”
"Who?"
Lu Haoshan pointed in the direction of the capital: "Our Lord Wang, Wang Pu Wang General Soldier." ”
"He? Will he come? Last time, the adult also had a grudge with him, and this Wang Zongbing is probably still holding a grudge against the adult. Tang Qiang said with some fear.
has the opportunity to please these "uncles" from the capital and the emperor's personal soldiers, many people can say that they have worked hard, but Lu Haoshan just "didn't go on the road", and in the matter of returning to the old man, he accepted the wealth and goods that Wang Pu shared with pain, and also took the opportunity to threaten them, so that the latter two were not very friendly when they met, knowing that Wen Chong was trapped in a thousand households, then Wang Pu might come to the rescue, but he came out to pick up the bargain when the two were almost fighting.
Lu Haoshan also likes to use this trick very much.
"There are no eternal allies, and there are no eternal enemies, look at it, this general soldier Wang will come soon." Lu Haoshan said confidently.
While the two were talking, one of the soldiers suddenly shouted, "Look, our carrier pigeons have returned." ”
Everyone heard the words and raised their eyes, sure enough, a few flying pigeons flew with their wings in the afterglow of the sunset, and flew straight to the special flag on the top of the mountain, just in the excitement of everyone, more than ten strong arrows suddenly shot out under the mountain, the archery is good, two flying pigeons fell with arrows, only one clever carrier pigeon flew hard, avoiding the strong arrows and finally landed on the flagpole.
Zhao Gongchang rushed up with an arrow step to remove the bamboo tube on the leg of the carrier pigeon, after getting familiar with the translation, he quickly pretended to be okay and handed it to Lu Haoshan, opened it and saw that there was only a small line of words on it: Chang Dawei, a hundred households in Datong 60 miles away from the east, was attacked, and it is estimated that it will take two days to arrive; Ma Ke, the deputy general of Shaanxi Province, which is 120 miles away from the west, refused to send troops on the grounds of defending the city, Zhu Qianhu, who was only more than 50 miles away from Feilai Peak, refused to send troops on the responsibility of defending the territory, and Linming City, which was about 130 miles away from the north, was attacked, and several officers and soldiers such as Li Baihu and General Zhang went to support
In a word, there are no reinforcements for the time being.
Obviously, the lives of Lu Haoshan and Wen Chong's thousands of soldiers. They don't care, what they care about is how to get promoted and make a fortune, they like to hear about Lu Haoshan's trapping, less incense burners and fewer ghosts.
"My lord, what do we do now?" Zhao Gongchang said angrily.
He wanted to make a fortune just now, but he was afraid of shaking the morale of the army, so he forcibly held back.
"Kill"
"The leader has an order, kill an officer and soldier and reward thirty taels of silver, and the first one to enter the position of the officer and soldier. A reward of 1,000 taels of silver. ”
"Avenge the death of your brother."
As he spoke, a deafening shout of killing sounded again under the mountain, and when he looked down, he saw that the bandit was rushing up densely like ants, because the sky was getting dark, and there were people with torches, and under the firelight, the faces that were so crazy that they were a little distorted, it was obvious. A few flying pigeons just now stimulated Lao Hui and the others, and they gave up the idea of looking for cannon fodder again, and drove their subordinates to charge upward.
After a day and a night of consumption, Lu Haoshan had exhausted the last gunpowder and the last arrow. Now they can only rely on hand-to-hand combat, so Lao Huihui and Zhang Xianzhong are a little unscrupulous.
With a "swish", Lu Haoshan pulled out the saber on his waist and said coldly: "The soldiers are coming to block." The water comes to cover the earth, the people are there, and the position is there. ”
"Humans. The position is in! The crowd shouted in unison, so loud that the sound echoed through the mountains.
is just a simple sentence, and all the feelings of his soldiers are picked up at once.
As a result, the most brutal scene of cold weapons was staged again, and a new round of life-and-death struggle kicked off again
At the moment of life and death, people can often exert their huge potential, Lu Haoshan felt that he was about to become a tireless killing machine, as soon as the enemy came, he immediately picked up the guy and worked hard, fighting during the day, lighting torches at night, drinking a sip of water when he was thirsty, stuffing something into his mouth when he was hungry, falling asleep between battles, and getting up again as soon as he heard a change, as if he was alive to kill.
The battle became more and more intense, and the casualties increased, and in the back, the gang leaders and miscellaneous servants took up arms and joined the ranks of the battle
The winter sun rose again, Lu Haoshan stood on the last line of defense, looked at the dense mob and piles of corpses at the foot of the mountain, and then looked at the men around him who were covered in blood.
For three days and four nights, the small Feilai Peak became a huge meat grinder, thousands of people fought on this small mountain peak for three days and four nights, not including the people who were forced to act as cannon fodder, those mobs were like endless grass, cutting a stubble and rushing a stubble, forcing Lu Haoshan and his subordinates to keep fighting, constantly fighting for their lives, even the careful Tang Qiang couldn't remember how many times he repelled the mob's attacks, of course, he also suffered heavy losses.
At most, there are more than 800 soldiers who can fight, plus thousands of horsemen, gang leaders, miscellaneous servants, etc., with artillery, guns, bows and crossbows and other sophisticated weapons, but in the end, the gunpowder is exhausted, the arrows are exhausted, and they can only pick up weapons and fight in close quarters.
It's all forcibly supported by will.
Lu Haoshan underestimated the determination of Lao Huihui, Zhang Xianjian and others, and also lowered the inferior nature of people, was surrounded for three days and four nights, there were so many officers and soldiers around, but no one appeared like a savior, although a lot of wolf smoke was seen rising every day, fortunately, the casualties of the bandits under the mountain were also very large, at most there were nearly four or five thousand people, and now there are only more than one thousand people left.
In terms of numbers, the bandits still have an absolute advantage.
"Bang Bang Bang"
"Kill!"
"These official dogs are here again, and they have been crushed into pieces."
"That's it, I'm really not afraid of death, I caught a few nails on the wooden frame last night, aren't they afraid?"
Just when Lu Haoshan was sighing, the sound of fire suddenly sounded under the mountain, and then a crazy shout of killing sounded, Lu Haoshan raised his clairvoyance in his hand with great effort, and saw that there were a few horsemen who turned around while running and released the guns, and after releasing the guns, they released arrows, followed by dozens of furious cavalry, these people were the cavalry of the bandits, and they angrily chased and released arrows. Although the people who ran in front managed to shoot over seven or eight people, in the process of escaping, one of them fell from the horse with an arrow, and then was trampled by the group of horses, and the flesh and blood were blurred.
Lu Haoshan suddenly had some tears in his eyes, he couldn't bear to look at it, he moved his eyes for a moment, and suddenly his heart tightened, only to see the seventeen big wooden pillars erected in front of the camp under the mountain, and on each wooden pillar there was a scout wearing cotton armor nailed to it. The death was extremely miserable, the people who escaped just now and those who were crucified, they were all Lu Haoshan's soldiers, they were scouts, Lao Huihui only assassinated the sentries and scouts on one side, and there were more than 20 scouts who were not surrounded.
These scouts first sent information and inquired about it, but when the situation became more and more critical, they could no longer sit still, and continued to attack the camp of bandits under the mountain by attacking and killing. Assassinating sentries, setting fire to food, etc., and doing their best to disrupt the bandits, in order to reduce the pressure on Lu Haoshan and others as much as possible.
More than 20 people stormed a large camp of several thousand people, and it took so much courage. can only be described as a moth to the fire, Lao Huihui and Zhang Xianzhong are not good at stubble, so as soon as these scouts fall into the hands of the two, they will be tortured to death. If they died, they had to nail them to the wooden pillars with wooden nails, and they wanted to use this method to break the fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers, and the more than 20 scouts were only two days. There were only a few people left, but they continued to provoke the enemy.
They used their blood and lives to prove their blood and loyalty, and Lu Haoshan repeatedly used shouts or flags to make them give up this almost suicidal behavior, but they did not hesitate to ignore this order.
The generals are outside, and the king's orders are not subject to them, and now the soldiers are outside, and the generals are not subject to the generals' orders.
Not only Lu Haoshan, but also the soldiers on the mountain all had a feeling of wanting to cry when they saw it.
"Woo Peng"
Suddenly, there was a sudden sound of drums and trumpets at the bottom of the mountain, and then I saw those mobs rushing up the hill in droves, with a crowd of people and a thunderous sound of killing.
"My lord, look, the old man is back," Zhao Gongchang suddenly shouted.
Li Dingguo also said in surprise: "Huang Hu and Zhang Miaoshou are also behind. ”
When Lu Haoshan heard this, he looked in the direction pointed by the two of them, yes, he saw Lao Huihui, Zhang Xianzhong and Zhang Miaoshou surrounded by henchmen, holding weapons in their hands and walking up the mountain.
It turned out to be a desperate gamble and all the staff went out.
Three days and four nights was a test for the officers and soldiers of Lu Haoshan and Wenchong Qianhu, and it was also a torment for Zhang Xianzhong and others, who thought that the sneak attack would succeed, but they did not expect that the sneak attack would turn into a tug-of-war, and a large number of elite henchmen would lose their lives, and for them, this place would become a quagmire.
The vitality was greatly damaged, the casualties were heavy enough, and the patience was exhausted, the time was too long, so long that it could change at any time, Lao Huihui and the others could no longer sit still, they were ready to make the final blow, and also give the officers and soldiers the most fatal blow, so the whole army set out.
The final battle has arrived.
Lu Haoshan looked at the scarred subordinates around him, as if he was blocked by something, he wanted to say something but couldn't open his mouth to say it, he was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, nothing serious, Tang Qiang's head and right hand were tied with a white cloth oozing blood, as the elite of the elite, every time he rushed to the front, he was injured in more than 20 places, and now he can only hold a knife in his left hand, Zhao Gongchang was hit by an arrow in his thigh, he broke the arrow shaft, the small half of the arrow shaft was exposed, and the mountain was covered in blood, I don't know which ones are his own, which ones are the enemy's, and he can't stand steadily. Supporting his body with a knife to prevent himself from falling, Li Dingguo's iron spear was bent, and his whole body was wrapped in a white cloth, and now he was holding a more lethal machete in his hand, Sun Xiong was seriously injured, lying behind with his eyes closed, his face was as pale as paper, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive
Absolute wounded and crippled.
"Brothers, are you afraid?" Lu Haoshan suddenly asked loudly.
"Don't be afraid!" Li Dingguo gritted his teeth and said, "Follow the adults, we are not afraid." ”
"There are so many brothers on Huangquan Road, it's lively, haha, ouch" Zhao Gongchang suddenly laughed, but the laughter was so big that it affected the wound, and he couldn't help grinning.
Dashan's eyes were red, like a hungry wolf, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Killing so many is already enough, following the adults, this life is worth it." ”
"Don't be afraid"
"Killing one is enough, killing two earns one."
"It's a loss, I've never touched a woman in my life, my lord, when you get down, you have to find me ten or eight beautiful female ghosts to make up for it."
"Yes, yes, I want it too"
Everyone said a word, I said a word, all of them were arrogant, and some even joked with each other, Lu Haoshan's eyes were red.
Maybe yesterday they were still the children of a poor family, maybe yesterday they were still small soldiers who could make small calculations, but today they are already qualified soldiers, warriors who regard death as home.
Lu Haoshan put the knife in the slab, and the skull's lame cripple was ruin!
didn't speak again, he didn't know what to say, and he was the first to rush out, not because Lu Haoshan was war-loving, but because he didn't want his subordinates to see the tears that burst out of his eyes.
The man doesn't flick when he has tears, in fact, there is a sentence at the back: It's just that he hasn't reached the sad place.
"People are there, the position is there"
A group of hands tore their throats and shouted desperately, and then rushed out one by one in a panic, with a tragic and mortal heart to do the final fight with the enemy, as Lu Haoshan's personal guards, Tang Qiang and Zhao Gongchang, who were still injured and dying just now, seemed to have forgotten the pain all of a sudden, and the last to come first, rushing in front of Lu Haoshan all of a sudden
"Kill"
No one noticed that Sun Xiong, who was lying on the ground as pale as paper, suddenly moved his eyebrows, and two lines of tears burst out of his eyes. (To be continued......)
