Chapter 118: The Fall of the Flag (1)
Tie Shan groaned without a smile, and was silent for a long time before he said, "Yes." ”
He had already finished his report, so he took a sonorous step and left without stopping long.
During this period, Guan Jianru kept staring at him, and it was not until after he left that he glanced at his father with the same strange smile as usual.
It is not known what kind of eye contact there has been, but it was brief-lived.
While eating, Wufu kept staring in the direction of Chang'an, with a complicated expression.
Finally, after a long time, he said to Tie Shanwu in the official dialect of the Northern Tang Dynasty: "How many days ago, I experienced a nightmare night in that city, if it weren't for that damn night, I wouldn't have stayed here to serve the eyes of those Wu barbarians!" ”
"It's all gone," Tie Shan said lightly, and then pointed to the food: "Eat." ”
Uselessly took a few mouthfuls, and there were still traces of blood on his forehead that had not been wiped clean after the battle: "But I feel aggrieved!" ”
Tie Shan didn't glance at him: "Who is not aggrieved, Guan Kuo is more aggrieved than you, isn't he still trying to live?" I heard that even Nanwu can't tolerate him now. ”
Hearing this name, a few strands of sorrow appeared on Gao Lin's face: "I don't know how he is now." ”
"Don't worry," Tie Shan Wuxiang said a little carelessly: "No matter how difficult this guy is, he can't die, he will insist on living until the day when the clouds open and the fog clears." ”
As he spoke, he looked up at the high sky full of gloom and said, "Look, it's been a long time since that weather, but it will always pass." ”
The people around them stopped talking, because they knew that Tie Shan was right, and in the afternoon, there would be a very fierce battle waiting for them.
After having lunch with the Northern Tang people from afar, they began to assemble.
Half an hour later, the drums sounded again, and the land of the dead and wounded was simply cleaned up, and a earth-shattering battle broke out again.
Tie Shanwu led a 3,000-strong army of 3,000 people who were crippled and were made up by Guan Zhengxing, took the lead, rushed to the front, broke through the front line of the Northern Tang people, and then fell into the encirclement, and then broke through again, and so on.
I don't know why, Guan Zhengxing maintained his army of 3,000 people, not more, not less, and after the casualties, he made up for him.
Tie Shan Wu may know Guan Zhengxing's true intentions, or he may not know at all, but he always has no expression.
When the time of sunset came, the Northern Tang Dynasty and the Southern Wu people once again had a tacit understanding to withdraw their troops.
No one knows what the two commanders, Wang Du and Guan Zhengxing, are thinking, and everyone else, including those who fought to the death under their orders, feel that they should be more anxious than the other, but in fact, on the surface, it doesn't seem to be the case.
In the next few days, the battle continued like this, the army of Southern Wu was slowly depleted, and so was the army guarding Chang'an, and reinforcements were also delayed and far away.
But on this night, Guan Zhengxing entered the Chinese military tent with many generals, and Wang Du also entered the Chinese military tent with many generals.
Thinking that it was enough to paralyze their opponents, they suddenly decided to launch a decisive battle the next day.
There is a tacit understanding.
……
……
In the early hours of the morning, the haze continued, but by dawn, the haze had completely dissipated.
The first sunny day after five or six days.
The sky is high and cloudless, and there are no clouds.
The sun shone brightly, turning the dull armor into a golden glow for the first time.
When the morning light and fresh air fell on the earth, Guan Zhengxing took the lead in launching a fierce attack.
He personally fell into battle, and the Guan family waved his banner.
Tie Shan Wu rushed to the front with 3,000 men, and Guan Jianru led his troops on the left flank of the army.
The scene around him quickly regressed, and Tie Shan didn't feel a different atmosphere, and he realized that today would be a very important day.
Freshly dressed and angry, the waves behind him are galloping.
But what Guan Zhengxing expected also happened-
The Northern Tang army was in full battle and had long been ready to meet their attack.
After so many days, although it was vague, under the handsome banner, Tie Shanwu finally saw the figure of Wang Du, the general of Zhenwu in the Northern Tang Dynasty, again.
He was dressed in black armor and his eyes were sharp, as if they were two knives.
His gaze swept over here and didn't stop, but Tie Shan didn't realize it: he saw himself.
……
……
Compared with the previous days, the fierceness of the fighting has risen to a higher level.
The troops led by Tie Shan Wu have always been able to inflict considerable lethality in the past, and their own casualties are very small.
Today, however, his number of people is drastically decreasing, just like the Northern Tang people they killed.
He singled out a Northern Tang Iron Cavalry who might have been a comrade-in-arms, and stabbed the other party in the chest, looking merciless.
On the contrary, the useless Kelei and others behind him had reservations.
Half a mile behind him is Guan Zhengxing's handsome banner, where the elite of Southern Wu is.
However, probably because Iron Mountain, who is a striker, has blocked a lot for them, there are not many kills there.
The front of the Northern Tang is becoming more and more unstable.
Tie Shanwu glanced at the place of the Northern Tang Shuai Banner again, Wang Du, who had always been hot-tempered and impulsive, did not make a move, but just calmly gave orders, which was very inconsistent with the image of the other party on weekdays.
Wang Du must have some plans, but Tie Shan doesn't know.
Iron Mountain didn't just know what he was going to do today.
The battle lasted until noon, and there was no decisive victory, but the Northern Tang front was broken through a lot.
In the distance, the outline of Chang'an City became clearer and clearer, and the majestic city seemed to be close at hand.
This made the Southern Wu people, who had a slight upper hand, very excited, they had been in the Northern Tang Dynasty long enough, and as long as Chang'an was captured, then that huge country would be self-defeating, and everything it would be worth it at that time.
In the rear, Guan Zhengxing looked coldly at Tie Shan Wu, who was rushing to kill, and did not let his personal guard troops fall into the enemy formation too much.
I don't know if he's watching or what's being planned.
His son Guan Jianru led the troops to the left and killed him, far away from him, and he was very confident in the other party.
It's just that as Guan Jianru said, he has always been wary of Tie Shanwu, because Tie Shanwu's Guan Shaoshan identity can't make him feel at ease, he always seems to be unsteady in his heart.
The Northern Tang Dynasty's front was shaking more and more, Guan Zhengxing looked towards Wang Du, and saw that the other party was still ordering in an orderly manner, and did not make any movements, and felt more and more inappropriate.
