Shanyangguan

The heavy crossbows on the walls shot the last row of arrows, and there was still a little smoke left from the thorn bushes on the inner side of the moat.

The Beiban left more than 100 corpses and Mingjin withdrew his troops.

All firearms have been spent.

The Northern Barbarians are really very fierce, if they are replaced by soldiers of the Great Zhou, she will be scattered after three rounds of muskets and one round of ballistas.

But the Northern Barbarians were also scared and panicked, but they were able to quickly stabilize the formation, and even learned to find cover and hide in a very short time.

Fang Ruohua inserted the knife back into the scabbard, grabbed a handful of half-length hair, and shook off the black and red blood clots.

The noisy battlefield finally fell silent for a while.

Yan Zhen's legs were weak, he knelt on the ground with a plop, gasped twice, grabbed the scorched city wall and stood up, sat down, stretched out his hand to block a knife for himself, and straightened the veteran who fell in front of him, wiped the blood on his face, and straightened his hair.

"Dad loves decency, he used to take a shower at least once every three days in the barracks, but when he died, he had to be cleaner."

Yan Zhen muttered to himself, Qian Feng stood at the head of the city with a blank face, watching the soldiers clean up the corpses, rescue the wounded, and nod the heads under his hands...... Seven brothers are missing.

Qian Feng was silent for a moment, and tied a knot on the straw rope around his waist, with a total of six knots on it.

In five days, they repelled six sieges.

The offensive of the Northern Barbarians became more ferocious each time.

He didn't know if he and the others would be able to resist the next offensive, and when would such a war end.

Fang Ruohua was sitting at the head of the city combing his hair, combing it very carefully, lifting it on both sides, combing it upwards, and fixing it with a hairpin.

Her hair was half scorched, and the scorched part was cut off, so that it could only hang down to her shoulders.

But it's okay to get there, the hair is too long on the battlefield and it's really in the way.

No, Qian Feng smiled bitterly, he just didn't understand why Fang Ruohua was so relaxed.

She sat at the head of the city, bowed her head and talked to the soldiers around her, with a smile in her eyebrows, Qian Feng could vaguely hear it, they were talking about the short trivial matters of the family, laughing while talking, as if this was not a battlefield in the sea of corpses and blood, but under the shade of the trees in the farmhouse.

"Ruohua, stop chattering, come, let's settle the score."

Bai Shao shouted with a smile.

Fang Ruohua smiled: "The old man is full of energy!" ”

"It's not as good as our Royal Highness the Sea King, I haven't slept for three days, I'm still very beautiful, I'm a beauty."

Bai Shao was hit by an arrow in the chest, but he refused to go down to cultivate, but just asked the military doctor to find him a bottle of spirits.

But I only dare to take small sips, and I can't stop the pain, but at least there is a comfort.

The old general's alcohol consumption is very good, even if it is a strong wine, he will not get drunk after drinking most of the bottle, but at this juncture, he does not dare to take half a risk.

The two of them said a few words of gossip, and Bai Shao really asked the beauty beside Fang Ruohua to bring the account book.

The above pen records the debts that Bai Shao has not had time to repay in recent years.

Most of them were lent to him by wealthy merchants from Donglin, Shanzuo and other places, and some were borrowed from Fang Ruohua.

In addition to being used for raising and training troops, most of them are estimated to be given to the righteous army near the left.

Bai Shao sighed: "My business has not been doing well, the two boats I bought from you are also old, they must not be very valuable, when I bought it, it was 30,000 taels of silver, but now it is equivalent to 20,000." ”

Fang Ruohua: "......"

"My car dealership and dart board can't be given to you, they are all for the old brothers to care for, and there is a house at home, thirty acres of land, give it to you."

Fang Ruohua: "...... Your old hit with a great idea. Do you want to say, let me sell your family's property and use it to help you pay off your debts? Have you forgotten that I am also your creditor? ”

"Hey!"

Bai Shao sighed, "Who made your family have a big business, and it's easy to bully." Other people's debts can't be owed, if they owe them, they have a hard time, and my old face can't be hung up, don't worry about our Royal Highness the Sea King, you and I, an old man, are simply closer than the two of them, what do you share with each other. ”

He smiled quite proudly, "Look at our little six, gentle, beautiful, considerate and sensible, or give it to you together, those debts, if I can't pay them back, you can find a way to help me take care of them, if I really go to the underworld and still owe these debts to the Yang world, I really want to die." ”

Fang Ruohua couldn't cry or laugh, shook his head, and raised his eyes to look into the distance: "What beautiful mountains and rivers." ”

The land is red and black, not only dyed with blood, but also fattened, here the common people have worked hard to split thorns in the wilderness, little by little, thousands of years, ancestors, children and grandchildren have lived on this land.

Perhaps there have been wars after wars, and each war has been a catastrophe.

Fang Ruohua actually admired Bai Shao and the others a little.

They can't see the way forward clearly, they are just instinctively delaying the time when this land is ruled by foreign races, but they know very well that everything they have done is likely to be in vain.

Victory in one war, two wars, or even countless wars doesn't really mean anything.

They may be able to win the war, but they can't change the weakness of the Central Plains Dynasty, so they will gradually lose their strength and lose the support of the rear, and then one day, everything will end.

But knowing the outcome, the ants struggled and never stopped fighting.

Fang Ruohua stood at the head of the city, threw a stack of account books to the people around him and put them away: "Win this war first." ”

The sky is dark, and the war drums are beating.

Qian Feng didn't sleep for a long while wrapped in his robe, he jumped up and reached out to grab the longbow, and rushed to the front.

Outside, there was a black oppressive group of human heads, high flags flying, and bloody air came to the nose.

Another round of war broke out.

The yellow sand outside the sky was all over the sky, the wind was blowing, and the dead leaves were stained with layers of thick plasma.

Inside and outside the moat, the ravines that crisscrossed the ground became sticky, and there were broken arms and wreckage everywhere.

There are their own people, and what reinforcements are there.

The reinforcements from all over the capital are no longer as weak as they were at the beginning, and many of them are gradually contaminated with the hardness of the bloody battlefield, and if they can leave the battlefield alive, they can also be regarded as elite soldiers.

Another two full days of fierce fighting.

The Great Zhou garrison died less than 8,000 people, including the slightly useless reinforcements sent by His Majesty.

Fang Ruohua glanced at the wounded soldiers who had not had time to evacuate, spit out blood foam, and silently calculated the time, but his face was still calm, and Bai Shao, who still had thoughts and sunken cheeks, coughed.

"Old General Bai, you are really a good master, look at our sixth master you taught, where is there still the appearance of the merry man who was all over the world at the beginning, if the command is determined, the scheming is full of plans, and he is so angry that Uqien is going berserk."

At this moment, the barbarians attacked the city like crazy, trampling on the dead and wounded corpses to attack the city wall, shouting the slogan that Xu Liu's dog must be killed.

It's no wonder that if Fang Ruohua is Wuqien, he will also be furious.

For several days, Xu Liu led people to attack the Beiban camp at night, and only rushed into the opponent's first line of defense each time, and immediately withdrew after alarming people, and attacked seven or eight times in one night.

As soon as the people rested, he immediately relied on the terrain to familiarize himself with all kinds of harassment.

In the second half of the night yesterday, Beiban had already let him toss and toss and could not distinguish between east and west, north and south, and he was slow for a while, and if he did not respond in time, he let him make a surprise attack, enter the camp and set fire, and the other side lost at least seven or eight hundred men and horses.

This morning, Xu Liu personally went out of the city to call the battle, and the prince was provoked to go out of the battle with a few words, killing the prince with his head and running away, and fanning the flames in the back, only saying that the prince was the puppet of the prince of Zhennan, and the prince wanted to cut him.

But Xu Liu's mouth is powerful, the black can be said to be white, and the white can be said to be black and shiny.

Uchien sent someone to take care of the prince, which in his mouth was called house arrest, for fear that the prince would make meritorious contributions.

The old prince promised the prince to go into battle, and he wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, and wanted the prince's life so that he could support the second prince to ascend to the throne.

Anyway, no matter what you say, Xu Liu is convincing and justifiable, he is born with that kind of convincing ability, which makes the prince of Zhennan hate him to the core.

Fang Ruohua simply put Xu Liu on the head of the city as a surprise soldier to attract firepower.

Not to mention, it works.

At this moment, it is necessary to firmly drag the Northern Barbarian army at Shanyang Pass, and must not let them be distracted.

Fang Ruohua held a knife in one hand and watched coldly as the army rushed to the city in waves across the tripping horse rope.

"Report, the east wall is loose."

Fang Ruohua raised the telescope and took a look, and saw countless barbarians digging holes in the ground, and the speed was very fast.

"Golden Fire Pot."

Someone next to him immediately handed the fire cup, Fang Ruohua pinched it with his hand, carried it very lightly, and raised his hand slightly.

The golden fire pot roared, and among the soldiers who were digging, the flames splashed in an instant, and the screams were extremely terrible.

The barbarian striker general was so angry that he jumped to his feet and cursed, and forgot to speak Chinese for a while.

But the number of golden fire pots is also decreasing.

Crossbow bolts have also become sparse.

"They don't have crossbow arrows, rush, rush to me, kill into Shanyang Pass, seize Donglin, and loot for five days!"

The morale of the Northern Barbarian soldiers was high, and they rushed forward with a roar.

Fang Ruohua waved his hand: "Grenade ready!" ”

More than 100 sea dragon guards instantly grabbed the best position, and in less than five seconds, three hundred grenades smashed down.

As soon as the Northern Barbarian Striker General saw the firelight, his face changed suddenly, white and red, his bladder tightened, and a stream of heat erupted.

"Collect the troops, collect the troops!"

It's no wonder that he lost his temper, Fang Ruohua's firearms really brought a deep psychological shadow to the Beiban.

Fang Ruohua covered his head and coughed: "Ahem, I'm a little excited." ”

Bai Shao clutched his chest, his flesh hurting terribly: "Don't waste it, and don't scare away these beasts." ”

"No, it won't."

Fang Ruohua's expression was a little complicated, "The army of the Northern Barbarians is not as easy to coax as the imperial army. ”

If you change to the army of the imperial court, a defeat will be over.

Why is Bai Shao's Northern Army called the first elite of the Great Zhou? Not because of advanced weapons, not because of advanced tactics, but because the Northern Army has gone through a hundred defeats and can still be defeated without being discouraged.

Sure enough, after a short time, the Northern Barbarians regrouped, and the offensive came again, and it was more ferocious and brave.

One hour, another hour.

Fang Ruohua stood at the head of the city with a horizontal knife, each knife was very accurate, and he did not waste half of his strength in vain.

Under the city, the main army crashed open the city gate for the third time and was driven out again, and the knife carts were about to be worn out to the limit.

Time passed minute by minute, Fang Ruohua shielded all his thoughts, and said word by word: "Hold Shanyang Pass and fight to the last person!" ”

Surrounded by the Chinese army, Uqien raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and for some reason, he was suddenly a little frightened.

"Bai Shao fought too fiercely......"

The prince sneered and glanced at him: "You say they are fierce? My soldiers of Darong are the strongest warriors in the world, if you want to say fierce, they are also afraid of our ferocity, so rush up for me! ”

He took a sharp step forward and shouted.

Prince Zhennan felt more and more uneasy, but he didn't know where this uneasiness came from.

The prince felt that Bai Shao fought so fiercely, it was a battle of trapped beasts, but he knew that person, he was an extremely calm general, with delicate tactics and a plan to act.

However, he could clearly see that Shanyang Pass was about to be broken through, and Bai Shao couldn't hold out for long.

"What are you worried about, I transferred the Queshan battalion to support, how many people are left in the Shanyang Pass garrison, how can they hold it?"

The prince sneered, "Tonight Lone is going to spend the night in Donglin Town, and I want Bai Shao to pour wine for Lonely......"

The offensive of the Northern Barbarians became more and more fierce.

Qian Feng was dizzy, he only felt that the blood in his body was about to run out, and even the purse sewn for him by his beloved woman had long since disappeared.

From a distance, you can see that Fang Ruohua's red cloak is dyed black.

“…… I'm too embarrassed to hide. ”

Qian Feng is not sparing his life, but Fang Ruohua and her Sea Dragon Guard, the more senior the generals, the more they rush to the front...... Isn't she afraid, after she dies, the dragons have no leader, and Shanyang Pass can't be guarded?

The battle scorched the outside of the city.

In the white bones, a trace of decadence appeared on Qian Feng's face.

"Chief, the reinforcements from the Beimanqo Mountain camp have arrived." Yan Zhen's feet were weak, he supported his body with a knife, and gritted his teeth to look at the overwhelming heads of people in the distance, as well as the flying flags of the camp in the mountains.

Qian Feng instinctively looked up at Fang Ruohua, only to see that her expression was solemn, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she was speechless.

Reinforcements arrived, and the Northern Barbarians' offensive became even more ferocious.

The prince's eyes burst out with indescribable fierceness and excitement: "Okay, okay, pass the order, let General Zidu speed up, and ...... alone."

Rumble!

A cluster of flames suddenly burst out on the heads of the Chinese army, the thistles flew away, and countless soldiers wailed.

Suddenly, countless rockets were projected from the rear, rushing headlong into the Chinese army, and all the soldiers panicked and dodged in all directions, and the formation was in chaos.

The prince of Zhennan, Wu Qien, was shocked in his heart, and a terrible thought arose: "It's broken, the camp of the mountain is ......."

I can't think about how Da Zhou's military horses pretended to be reinforcements from the Queshan battalion in a short period of time, went around behind him, and said sharply: "Don't mess up, the strikers are not allowed to retreat, let me rush into Shanyang Pass." ”

It's just that the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is the best commander, and it is impossible to re-stabilize the already chaotic position in a short period of time.

There were shouts of killing in the distance.

Fang Ruohua exhaled lightly, fortunately, everything went well, on the battlefield, it was changing rapidly, the more complex the plan, the greater the possibility of failure.

"I just hope that from now on, there will be no more dangerous moves."

She picked up her knife and cut off the flying hook on the wall: "Brothers, this is the last battle, for the sake of the 50,000 loyal souls who died, for our parents and relatives, and for the sake of this fertile land behind us that has belonged to us for generations, Xu Wei will not be defeated!" ”

Seven thousand remnants instantly erupted with a surging murderous aura: "Fight, fight, fight!" ”

The mountains and rivers are shaking, and the clouds cover the sun.
