Chapter 8: Xuanyuan Excalibur
Xu Qian knelt down and kowtowed three times, and was just about to get up, when suddenly the seven-colored light kept flickering, illuminating the entire cave. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Xu Qian got up and saw that it was the light emitted by the long sword in the hand of the god statue, and after the seven-colored light, the golden light on the sword body was dazzling, as if it was a thousand-year-old sword made of gold. Could it be that what the statue is holding in his hand is the legendary ancient god soldier "Xuanyuan Divine Sword"? Without thinking too much, Xu Qianyi took the sword and looked closely, only to see that the totem of the sun, moon and stars was engraved on one side of the sword, and the image of mountains, rivers and plants was engraved on the other. Take a closer look at the hilt of the sword, on the one hand, the art of farming and animal husbandry, and on the other hand, the policy of unifying the four seas.
"It seems that this sword is the 'Xuanyuan Sword' that Dashuai is looking for!" Xu Qian was overjoyed in his heart: since the sword has been found, half of the burden of saving the people in the world has finally been relieved, and when the holy sword is brought back to Dashuai, the task will be ...... Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly there was a gust of wind, and a stream of heat came from the back of his neck. "Not good!" Xu Qian shouted, hurriedly lifting his sword and slashing backwards. It was too late, but it was too fast, and with a wave of the sword, after the golden light flashed, a large spider fell at his feet. Xu Qian touched his stamina, and it turned out that he was bitten by a spider, and it was estimated that this spider was a big spider. Suddenly felt dizzy in his head, and the wound on the back of his neck became more and more painful, Xu Qian was like a paper kite with a broken thread, his whole body was light and fluttering, he didn't even have any strength, his temples couldn't stop jumping, and the heavier the headache, the more blurred his eyes became. As soon as his legs went limp, his eyes were black and he was unconscious.
I don't know how long it took for Xu Qian to slowly wake up and get up, he slapped his forehead with one hand, and sat up straight with the other. After another cup of tea before he came to his senses, he stood up and picked up the holy sword and looked around, except for the statue and the four beasts that collapsed and exploded into pieces, nothing else changed. He vigorously recalled the scene when he fainted, but he couldn't remember why, but he guessed that because of the headache and dizziness, he knocked the idol and the four beasts to the ground, and the statue and the four beasts were all clay sculptures, and it was reasonable to fall to the ground. He didn't think much about it anymore, put the "Xuanyuan Sword" and "Mogan Sword" on his back, and sighed: "The deadline given by the handsome is running out, you need to hurry back, and save the people in the world one day in advance!"
The Hongdu city was closed, and there was a scene after the fierce battle. Broken arrows and broken guns were everywhere, and corpses were strewn strewn ...... The rebel soldiers were carrying the dead brothers down the arrow path, and the corpses were all covered with gunpowder smoke and blood. Lan Yu was carrying a big sword and wearing a battle armor, still looking murderous, and the two lieutenants who followed behind him were also murderous. They stepped past a corpse, inspected the soldiers who were repairing the broken city wall, and reprimanded from time to time: "No, no, no, it must be reinforced! The speed must be fast, hurry up......
Suddenly, the war drums rang out, and the sound of killing rang out to the sky!
Chen Youliang wore the emperor's clothes, wore gold armor, sat in the imperial car, and stood still, looking at countless Han troops besieging Hongdu City.
On the Hongdu City, Lan Yu is leading a dense crowd of soldiers and civilians to fight to the death. They shot with bows and crossbows, smashed stones and logs at close range, and watered them with boiling oil, and used everything they could to ward off the enemy.
Lan Yu stood in the most dangerous place in the city pass, brandishing a big knife, slashing and slashing. As soon as several Han soldiers emerged from the city wall, they were beheaded by him and fell under the city.
"General, the south gate has broken through!" said an elderly general.
Hearing this, Lan Yu waved the big knife and said, "Then what are you doing here, why don't you kill them and snatch the south gate back!" The old general supported the barrel of the gun and said: "General, the city pass will be broken in two hours!"
Lan Yu gritted his teeth and said: "In that case, then you still have to guard a bird city! Damn, if you can't keep it, don't guard it, give an order, all the soldiers will go down to the city and gather at the east gate." ”
Inside the east gate, a large number of armor soldiers gathered, all of them holding weapons, their eyes resolute, revealing their determination to die!
The two huge city gates were banged by the Han army, and Lan Yu ordered people to open the city gates, rush out of the east gate first, and kill the Han army. Seeing that the commander was so brave, the soldiers of the rebel army were all enthusiastic, and they frantically pounced on the Han army's formation, and the weapons in their hands opened their bows left and right to slash at them.
When the Han army saw that the righteous army suddenly opened the city to meet the battle, they were all shocked in their hearts, and immediately panicked, and they were even more defeated by Lan Yu, and they were defeated and retreated.
Chen Youliang was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly ordered to set up the "Ten Thousand Peerless Army Array" to defend against the enemy.
Lan Yu was once ordered by Liu Bowen, knowing the strength of this formation, he hurriedly collected his troops and returned to the city to rearrange the battle situation......
Xu Qian traveled day and night, and finally rushed back to the mansion of the marshal of Jinling City, only to fall off his horse due to physical exhaustion.
Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he learned that Xu Qian had returned home, and led all the civil ministers and military generals to visit Xu Qian, who was unconscious, in the guest hall of the Shuaifu, and ordered the military doctors in the palace to carefully inspect the injured and sick.
Zhu Yuanzhang took the "Xuanyuan Sword" that Mu Ying got from Xu Qian, hurriedly took off the royal robe on his body, put on the battle armor, bid farewell to Mrs. Ma and the sons, and galloped away from the Shuai Mansion with Mu Ying and the others. Mrs. Ma hugged Zhu Yuanzhang's royal robe, and watched Zhu Yuanzhang's distant back with her sons for a long time.
On the riverside, there are many warships, and the soldiers are all standing on the deck. Rows and rows stretch as far as the eye can see.
Zhu Yuanzhang rode his horse to the side, rode to the deck, and waved at Tang He: "Let's go!"
"Woo-woo!" the trumpeter whistled a huge horn. Mast, a string of flags straight up to the top of the mast. In the bow of the ship, a heavy iron anchor rises with a string of river water. On the river, you can see huge sails facing the wind everywhere, and warships galloping.
In the cabin, Zhu Yuanzhang sat in the middle, and the military generals were divided into two sides. Zhu Yuanzhang handed over the "Xuanyuan Sword" to Xu Da and ordered him to lead his troops to break through the "Ten Thousand Peerless Army Array" of the Han army.
Xu Da took the lead with the "Xuanyuan Sword" in his hand, and led the Xu family army to rush all the way into the "Ten Thousand Peerless Army Array". With the sword in hand, all demons are gone. Xu Da is like a god, opening the bow left and right, killing gods when encountering gods, and punishing demons when encountering demons.
Chen Youliang thought that a "10,000 Peerless Army Array" would be able to annex Zhu Yuanzhang, but unexpectedly, a single Xu family army would break this array! Tens of thousands of troops were in chaos at once, and the number of those who were killed and those who fell into the water and drowned was also innumerable, and 20,000 soldiers and more than 100 warships were captured by Zhu Yuanzhang's soldiers. Under the protection of his generals, Chen Youliang grabbed a small boat and fled back to Shuai's tent. Chen Youliang was greatly injured in this battle, and he had to withdraw the encirclement of Hongdu City and withdraw all the naval troops to Poyang Lake, hoping to recuperate and then find a good plan to take revenge. Thinking that Zhu Yuanzhang actually blocked the mouth of Poyang Lake first, blocking the retreat of the Han army, he decided to make a break with Chen Youliang in the lake.
Chen Youliang's navy was a large number of tall and large warships, and they were lined up for more than ten miles. However, Zhu Yuanzhang's navy was all temporary modifications of some small boats or fishing boats, and it was far from Chen Youliang in terms of strength, and the two sides fought for three days and three nights in a row, and Zhu's army ended in a big defeat.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat in the owner's tent of the handsome ship, thinking hard about a plan to break the enemy. At this time, a general named Guo Xing said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Marshal, the difference between the strength of the enemy and us is too far, and it seems that it is impossible to rely on a tough battle.
Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he heard this, and slapped his thigh and said, "Good idea." Quickly call Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen to discuss how to break the enemy with fire. After a pause, he said: "By the way, Xu Da, Tang He, and Chang Yuchun are also called." ”
