Chapter 49: The Tears of a Famous General
"What are you still doing? Go and give the order," Zhang Rulong turned around and yelled at the general who had not yet fainted.
"General Zhang, why are you doing this? Didn't the poisonous wolf retreat? Could it be that roar just now? Seeing him in such a shape, Huang Qingshan was very puzzled but didn't dare to say nonsense.
"You're right, the roar just now is the barbarians, and it's their heads. Lao Huang, let's go! I'm afraid I'm going to have to give an account of my life here. But it's not bad, if it weren't for the war, the scenery here would still be okay" Zhang Rulong forced a smile, but couldn't hide the sadness in his heart: "It's a pity that my 200,000 soldiers died and had no place to be buried." You go, maybe it's still too late. ”
Zhang Rulongtou walked to the head of the bridge without looking back, and immediately gave an order: "Set fire to this bridge for me." All the soldiers lined up by the river, ready to fight to the death! ”
The soldiers did not understand the meaning of the general at all, but they did not dare to disobey his orders. Someone in the guard lit torches, piled firewood on the bridgehead, set a fire, and in less than ten minutes the bridge was on fire.
"Warriors, you 200,000 people, as the vanguard of the army, followed me Zhang Rulong here. Trekking all the way through mountains and rivers, eating and sleeping in the open. Last night and today you fought to the death against hundreds of thousands of ferocious wolves, and with your swords and arrows and your bravery, you let these abominable beasts float on the surface of the river. You are worthy of the honor of warriors, and I Zhang Rulong thank you! But now that we're at the most dangerous point, I don't want to deceive you, I'm going to tell you where we're now. Just on the other side, just now, everyone should have heard a terrifying roar. That is the most ferocious barbarian leader among the brute beasts, I encountered it in Xiliang when I followed Hou Ye and Master thirty years ago, even my current martial arts may not be able to defeat it. ”
"I want you to run, but I'm going to tell you honestly, except for the warriors above the Great Samurai, no one else here can escape. They're much faster than us, so we're just fighting to the death until the last man. Warriors, time is running out. Let's eat something and get ready. I'm here to thank you all for Master Hou and the master! ”
The leader of the barbarians mentioned in Zhang Rulong's mouth is the red-haired barbarian recorded in the book "Barbarian War Chronicles". As soon as it appeared, it meant that hundreds of thousands of barbarians were nearby, which was definitely a formidable force, and the poisonous wolf could only bow down in front of it.
The average black-haired barbarian is much larger than a human in size, and is not inferior to a human samurai in strength and speed, but his intelligence is too far behind. In particular, their bodies are rough and thick, as if they were wearing hard armor, and it is difficult for ordinary knives and arrows to hurt them.
Red-haired barbarians are extremely rare, and if they see it, it must be a large area of barbarians in action. It is the leader of the barbarians, and its cry is a command, and different calls mean different things. The red-haired barbarian is rarely encountered, except for the great battle thirty years ago. One of Long Weihou's generals died in its hands, and later Long Weihou personally slashed it, and finally let it escape, and its strong combat effectiveness can be seen.
Zhang Rulong said to Huang Qingshan, the lord of Nanling Mansion who came over, "General Huang, you get out of here quickly." Please tell Hou Ye the situation here, and be sure to send the military information so that Hou Ye can prepare early. Only Hou Ye and Lingwu can deal with the barbarians here, and you can let the people of Nanling Mansion run as far as they can along the way. ”
"General, let's go together. It's undefinable, you can go, and the barbarians can't stop you. ”
"I won't go, the elites of the Master's Mansion are all here, where else can I go? The military situation is important, you hurry up, otherwise you won't be able to leave if you want to" Zhang Rulong's tone was resolute. Huang Qingshan had no choice but to quickly leave the river with a few followers and report to the north.
At this time, the soldiers on the north shore made a noise, and Zhang Rulong and Huang Qingshan both looked at the opposite bank. I saw that behind a large number of poisonous wolves, a group of black-haired barbarians about three meters tall poured out of the woods, and after about half an hour, the other side of the river was already full of poisonous wolves and barbarians. However, the barbarians were not as many as Zhang Rulong imagined, no more than thirty or forty thousand, and the poisonous wolves were only twenty or thirty thousand, and there were also a large number of unknown brute beasts mixed in during the period. Although the enemy is not as strong as expected, this kind of power is also something that Zhang Rulong can't deal with.
"By the way, a few days ago, I received the military intelligence information from the Hou Ye from King Liang, these should be the brute beasts that have been scattered," Zhang Rulong said: "I hope we can escape." ”
"General, look, what's that?" The guard next to him reminded loudly.
I saw that the barbarians on the other side of the river had made way one after another, and a large group of barbarians surrounded a monster with red hair and an orangutan shape. It looks the same as a black-haired barbarian, except that it is red, and he is taller. The monster came to a distance of less than ten meters from the river, looked around for a while, and then let out a loud roar that shook the sky. All the brute beasts on the other side roared, and the nearby woods seemed to shake with it. The unknown brute came first, the poisonous wolf followed, and the savage was at the end, howling and rushing into the river.
The unknown brute beast swam very fast in the water, and the river was about three hundred meters wide and came to the center of the river in a few minutes. Everyone was taken aback and hurriedly released the arrows, and for a time there was a rain of arrows on the river. This time the situation was very different from the last poisonous wolf, these brute beasts approached the river in a moment, and some of them climbed ashore, and the soldiers stabbed with their guns. Fortunately, these enemies are not particularly powerful, ordinary warriors can fight against them, and many brute beasts are pierced by the warriors as soon as they come ashore. More and more brute beasts poured ashore, and the north bank of the river became a battlefield of hand-to-hand combat, and the warriors quickly ran out of bows and arrows, and everyone drew their machetes to meet the enemy, and did not retreat a single step on the river beach.
Zhang Rulong looked at the river, the poisonous wolf had already reached a place of about fifty meters on the north bank, and it was about to go ashore, followed by the black barbarian. He understands that he can't hold it, and the collapse of the defense line is just around the corner.
"Warriors, everyone is good, I, Zhang Rulong, am not a bad breed. Everyone has been charging for my master's mansion for many years, and today I will also charge for you once" Zhang Rulong has reached the time of fighting against the water. He remembered his father's words: The best way to fight against the brute beast is to capture the thief and capture the king first.
Zhang Rulong held a large machete in his left and right hands, and two short knives pinned to his waist, and rose up, rushing towards the river like a peng. I saw that he did not fight with the brute beast, but stepped on the brute beast corpse in the water with every step, and with a slight touch, he rose up again, rushing towards the opposite bank like Ling Bo's micro steps.
The three-hundred-meter river faced a general, and in just a blink of an eye, Zhang Rulong came to the place where the red-haired monster on the south bank was. The barbarians on the opposite side obviously didn't expect this to happen, the red-haired monster screamed, and the barbarians around him surged up to protect the monster in the center. A large group of barbarians rushed towards Zhang Rulong, only to see Zhang Rulong dancing with both hands like snowflakes, and the barbarians would die if they touched it. He didn't fight the barbarians, but skillfully found a gap and quickly approached the red-haired monster.
The red-haired monster was obviously enraged by the visitor, and it did not expect that someone would dare to defy it and come to kill it alone. It roared loudly and pounced on Zhang Rulong, its shining claws flashing like knife light. Zhang Rulong raised his hand to block it, only to hear a loud sound of the bell, and both sides took a step back. Zhang Rulong flew up and pounced on the monster, and the fight was up and down for a while.
At this time, on the north bank, many poisonous wolves and barbarians rushed onto the river beach. The attack of the blood wolf can still be resisted, and the barbarian is like a tiger entering the flock as soon as he comes up. The warriors could not get close at all, and even if ordinary knives slashed at them, they would not do much damage, but would provoke the savages to be more violent. In just half an hour, the human defenses collapsed, and people ran desperately to the north. The team behind was also swept away by the retreating stragglers, so they had to flee with it. The north bank of the Qingshui River has become a jungle for wild beasts to hunt, and the food is the soldiers of the humans.
Zhang Rulong heard a tsunami-like sound on the north shore, and the roar of the barbarians in ecstasy shook the earth. Zhang Rulong burst into tears, and the tragedy of Nanling Mansion was staged again, and his 200,000 people became food for the barbarians.
"Ahh Zhang Rulong raised his head to the sky and shouted, making the double knife dance impenetrable, and frantically killed the barbarian leader. Several barbarians were cut down to the ground by him, and when they came to the monster, he was not defensive, and he was completely desperate. The monster slapped him in the chest, and he plunged a knife into the monster's abdomen. Zhang Rulong was hit by this palm and flew far away, and as soon as he landed, dozens of barbarians pounced on him. The ground churned, the blood of the barbarians splattered, and hundreds more barbarians pounced at the same time. The ground gradually fell silent, and only the painful roar of the red-haired monster echoed in the air.
Qingshui River, a painful place recorded in the annals of human history, will forever be engraved in people's hearts together with more than 200,000 lives such as Zhang Rulong.
