Bloody battle
Zhan Yunyi looked at Li Daoling, and then told Mu Qingfeng the address of the mountain behind him. He picked up his bow and arrows and walked down the city wall: "Dog, protect the warlike master." ”
Just when Mu Qingfeng was about to go downstairs, Li Daoling came over and said softly in his ear, "Boy, whether you succeed or not, live... ”
Mu Qingfeng came to the back mountain with a whip, and in the cave of Nuoda, he only saw the helplessness and confusion on people's faces. Even if Mu Qingfeng climbed a big rock and stood out from the crowd, few people noticed him.
"Folks, I have something to say to you. I am Mu Qingfeng from the mountains, and just now the battle head of the Xuanjia Sect and I repelled another attack by the barbarians. Listening to Mu Qingfeng's words, whispers sounded in the crowd.
"But what I want to tell you is that there are less than eight hundred disciples left in the Xuanjia Gate now, and they will not be able to stop them from attacking the city next time, are you willing to help them and defend their homes?" Few people responded to him, and many of them were skeptical.
"You little cripple who hasn't grown a single hair, talking nonsense!! Let's fight the barbarians, isn't that a sheep in the mouth of a tiger!! A fat man dressed in gorgeous silk said. Perhaps his words stirred the frightened heart of the human gate, and the whispers below became louder, but the chilling thing was that there was still no response.
"Yes, I am not as old as you, but my brother and I saw the bloody battle of the Xuanjia army on the city wall today, when a Xuanjia man with a broken arm and three barbarians died together, I knew that our men in Daxia are all hot-blooded men, and they will defend this pure land even if they don't want to die. I don't know if there are any of them with your husband, son, father. But for your sake, they would rather die with the enemy. I want you to think about it, even if we can escape for a while, will we be able to escape for a lifetime? After a while, the city is broken, how long can you run in the face of the enemy's iron cavalry, and how many people can you run? Under the nest, how can there be eggs? When the time comes, it will not be the butcher's knife of the foreigners, but you must know that the virtues of the foreigners will be at the gate, do you plan that your children will be taken as slaves by them, and their wives and daughters will be molested by them, and then die in the dark like rats?!! Listening to Mu Qingfeng's roar, the agitation of the crowd became louder.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, maybe he's encouraging us to die, so that he can take advantage of the opportunity to escape!!" The rich man shouted again.
"I can't imagine that all the men in Daxia are on the city wall, since I don't have much more, I'd rather die on the city wall with my brother than die in the hole with you cowards!!"
Just as Mu Qingfeng was about to turn around and leave, an old voice interrupted me.
"Young man, I'll go with you, my son is fighting bloodily in the Xuanjia Army, and my old bones can't be idle." An old man came out of the crowd, and it was the old man we asked for directions this morning.
"Uncle, you ,,,,"
"I know what you've been through just by looking at you, your brother is really no longer around, his appearance of three big and five rough knows that he is a good killer, just to take my old man to see and see." With that, he walked to the entrance of the cave without looking back.
"Wait, my father is also at the city gate, and I will go too." A half-sized man squeezed out of the crowd.
"My dad is a hero, and I'm not a bad breed!!" The childish voice echoed in the cave.
"I'll go too, my eldest brother is also in Xuanjiamen...
"My uncle has raised me for so many years, I can't let him fight alone!!'
"I'll go too!!" "I'll go too!!"
Soon, the cave was filled with outrage, and everyone shouted that they would die with the barbarians, even women and children. In fact, the people are not afraid of death at all, but they don't know what they want to fight for, and when they want to do something wholeheartedly, even if the mountains stop them, they will dig a way; Even if the tigers stand in their way, they will fight their way!!
"Let's be quiet and listen to this little brother's arrangement." The old man spoke just now, and everyone instantly quieted down, but unlike just now, their eyes were full of fighting spirit.
"Listen to me, I have a way, maybe I can hold out until the reinforcements arrive!!"
Listening to the sound of fighting outside the gate, Mu Qingfeng knew that the last attack of the barbarians had begun. There are about a thousand young men around him, and this is the last living force of Jiyiguan.
"Let's go up, young man, I'm going to help my brother!!" A strong man said.
Looking at the hoe in his hand, Mu Qingfeng knew that he would not be afraid of death if he rushed forward now, but he would not bring much damage to the enemy, after all, the gap between ordinary peasants and well-trained troops could not be made up by blood.
"Let's wait a minute, now everyone starts to wipe their faces, and start preparing from the animal skin and beast head brought from home." After saying that, he began to apply oil paint to his face, and it didn't matter what it looked like, as long as it was scary enough. Looking at the group of grinning people next to him, Mu Qingfeng suddenly felt that maybe the Wing Pass might still be able to hold it.
"Little brother, how long do we have to wait, my eldest brother can't stand it anymore, even we can smell blood, the fight in front must be very fierce, let us go."
"It's not time yet, wait for the old man to complete their task, otherwise we will die in vain if we go up, we are the last strength of Yiguan, if we are finished, everything will be finished."
Looking at Mu Qingfeng's fingers that were white due to overexertion, he didn't say anything, just looked at the back anxiously.
"Look, look. , smoke, smoke!! Little brother, it's smoking!! The strong man shouted.
Mu Qingfeng looked back, and thick black smoke rose, slowly blowing towards them with the northwest wind.
At that time, when he saw Zhan Yunyi and looked at the military flag again, staring at the slowly fluttering flag, Mu Qingfeng knew that our victory or defeat was in this fight. He asked the old man to take the remaining women and old men to set fire to the thatched hut nearest to the Yiyi Pass, and at the same time threw a large amount of saltpeter and sulfur into it, forming this thick black smoke. The Xuanjia army is upwind, and their face armor still has silk, no matter what, it will be much better than the barbarians besieging the city in the thick smoke.
Seeing that the smoke had drifted to the city, Mu Qingfeng casually took a leopard head, "Folks!" For the sake of Great Xia, for the sake of our homeland, kill it!! ”
"Kill! Kill!! Kill!! ”
The young men brought the heads of the beasts one after another, and for a time wild boars, leopards, jackals, and even black bears and tigers seemed to come back to life in the billowing smoke.
When the people rushed to the top of the city, it was just when the battle was at a fever pitch, more than half of the Xuanjia army suffered casualties, half of the dog's body turned bloody, and behind him was the unconscious Zhan Yunyi.
"Come on, come on! If you're not afraid of death, try my 'Jingwei Cast into the Sea'!! Look at your hard head or Dao Ye's sword fast! Li Daoling's voice came from the front, but the voice that was not sufficient told Mu Qingfeng that he must have suffered a lot of injuries.
At this time, he pulled out his father's long knife and slashed at a barbarian!
The fallen barbarian startled his teammates next to him, and just as they turned around viciously, they were greeted by a leopard's head painted with a frightening pattern. Next to the leopard, countless wild beasts were pounced on them.
In a moment of stunned, Mu Qingfeng raised his knife to kill, and it turned out that the angry people were really terrible, even if they were cut and shot by the enemy, no one retreated. He even saw a man who had been knocked out of his weapon, and he pounced directly on it and bit the neck of a fallen barbarian with his teeth.
Although the barbarians were shocked, they quickly reacted, and they had planned to turn back to fight, but they were so smoked by the thick smoke that followed that they couldn't stop crying and coughing.
"Ahem. Ahem... ”
"Ahem... cough cough cough 。。。。。 ”
Inhaling the smoke of saltpeter and sulfur, the barbarians coughed in pain, trying to defend themselves with their swords, but the black smoke that came with the wind made them unable to open their eyes.
"Put down your armor. Revenge for the sacrifice of the Xuanjia brothers!! Mu Qingfeng shouted loudly.
"Kill!! Kill!! The Xuanjia Army, who was already in a desperate situation, looked at the barbarians who couldn't open their eyes, regardless of their already scarred bodies, raised their bloodstained shields and smashed them into the opposite side.
"The beast god Gremu is angry!! Punish us with the Ten Thousand Beast Army!! I don't know which barbarian shouted, the demoralized barbarian army exploded all of a sudden, looking at the people who looked like ghosts in the black fog in front of them and those Xuanjia soldiers who forgot to die, many people turned around and ran, and some even jumped directly from the city wall in order to avoid the smoke. 、
At night, when the army of Bai Sushen, the king of Yan in Dongzhen, came, the military flag of Great Xia was still fluttering on the wings, and there were endless cheers. “
The brute is running!! The brute is running!! ”
