Ranger: Warrior Vanguard Chapter 7: Blood Spills Tongguan Road

"Is it?" Li Jinglong laughed and said, "It's okay, I can keep you for now, and let you watch how our army attacks Tongguan and drives straight into Chang'an." ”

"I'm sorry to tell you, you can't see anything in the future!" A cold light flashed in Mulan's eyes, and she suddenly rushed forward and slashed Li Jinglong's head head-on with her heavy sword. Li Jinglong did not flinch, and pushed up with one palm, trying to push Mulan out as well.

Hua Mulan instantly bloomed with a blade, shining a bright light on Li Jinglong's face, making him unable to see his position for a moment. Li Jinglong could only cover his eyes and push into the air, and when he reacted, Mulan had already appeared behind him.

"Useless ······" As soon as Li Jinglong was about to make a move, Hua Mulan snorted coldly: "Swift Glory!" slashed at Li Jinglong with four swords in a row, and the strength of each sword was one point stronger than before. Li Jinglong couldn't react, and before he could make a palm, he was forcibly pushed out by Mulan.

As soon as the four swords ended, Mulan gathered strength again, and a sword was about to fall on Li Jinglong. Li Jinglong would not allow her to make a move, and pushed her palm heavily on Mulan's abdomen, trying to push him off the city wall. Who knew that this strength had arrived, but she couldn't push Mulan at all, Hua Mulan "coughed" and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and shouted: "Cang-break-slash!" A sword slashed Li Jinglong's head and slashed him into the sky.

"No!" Li Jingcheng was knocked out and landed on the city tower with a "bang", he covered the bleeding wound on his head, and was about to get up and fight again, when suddenly his back was cold, and he sat down on the ground again.

Gao Xianzhi's mouth was still bleeding, but he couldn't help the smile on the corner of his mouth, he laughed for a while, and said: "Hahahahaha! What did Lao Tzu say? Lao Tzu will be dead, and he will pull you along!" You traitor who opened the city gate!" As soon as he pulled out his sword violently, Li Jinglong couldn't help it, spurted a mouthful of blood, and was paralyzed on the ground unable to move.

"General. Hua Mulan no longer paid attention to Li Jinglong's life and death, and was about to help Gao Xianzhi up, but Gao Xianzhi pushed her away, stumbled up and said: "I am Gao Xianzhi, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, even if I die, I should live and die with the city······" He held on to the city wall, watched the rebels enter the city one after another, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Lao Tzu will never be defeated by anyone." ”

"General, the situation is not good, let's withdraw. Hua Mulan knew that Cheng Yanjin's order to them was to advance and retreat with the generals defending the city, so she hoped that Gao Xianzhi would retreat.

"Withdraw, withdraw. Gao Xianzhi limped on the city tower and said, "You are all rookie chicks, you really shouldn't die here, go back to the emperor." Tell everyone, I, Gao Xianzhi, are not good at defending the city, but I will never be a general who abandons the city after the defeated army. Go for it······"" A sword was inserted into the castle tower.

"General······ Mulan listened to his words, was greatly touched, and stood in place unconsciously.

"Why don't you leave quickly?" Gao Xianzhi turned around and scolded: "When the time comes, everyone will die here, and that will be your fault! If the defeated army wants to win, someone needs to sacrifice, and it also needs someone to regroup, otherwise who will avenge the sacrifice?"

When Mulan heard this, she no longer hesitated, put away the heavy sword and light sword, and hurried down the city tower. Gao Xianzhi watched her figure disappear, then he breathed a sigh of relief, walked to Li Jinglong's trembling body, touched the top of his bloody head, and said, "Now······ It's just you and me, then······ How about settling your grievances with me?" Li Jinglong struggled in fright, but he couldn't move at all. Gao Xianzhi shook his body and raised his long sword, roared angrily, and kept swinging his sword to stab Li Jinglong's body, avenging all those who would die in battle, avenging himself, and avenging all those who were killed by the war.

"Zhongqing, Laneige, where are you?" Hua Mulan clearly watched as the rebels poured into Tongguan like an ant brigade. The more than 100 recruits and soldiers who guarded the city gate before had all disappeared at this time, leaving only 100 original city defenders and rebels fighting desperately. The original snow-white snow looked very dazzling under the light of torches and moonlight, but the most terrifying thing was the blood sprinkled on the snow, which shocked people's hearts.

Hua Mulan couldn't help but shake when she saw this scene, opened her mouth in surprise, she looked condescensively into the distance in a trance, and finally found some of the defenders and recruits who were retreating, and hurriedly rushed over secretly.

The number of defenders was already small, and the rebel attack was sudden, and the defenders had no time to react at all, so they were attacked by the rebels first. Although the remaining defenders reluctantly assembled and launched a counterattack before being annihilated, the inexplicable opening of the city gate hurt them too much, and it didn't take long for more than half of them to be killed or wounded. The entire Tongguan has been covered with corpses and blood on both sides, and the snow is full of blood, red and white showing a bright and beautiful picture.

"Let's go!" Mulan quickly shuttled through the crowd with her twin swords, and quickly found the more than 300 recruits who were retreating in panic. Although they were all mentally prepared for the battlefield, today was also the first time they had come into contact with the battlefield, and when they saw such a scene, they inevitably had an unbalanced mentality, and they could not show the state and attitude they had during training at all, and they ran to the front of the whole army and retreated.

Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing supported each other at the end of the recruit team, and they were both relieved to see Mulan rushing out of the crowd left and right, and said, "Mulan, where did you go? ”

Hua Mulan sighed and said, "There are generals here who betrayed and opened the city gates, General Gao has already sacrificed, and he ordered us to abandon the city and leave quickly." ”

"Betrayal?" Liu Lanzhi said: "No wonder we all slept well, somehow the city gate suddenly opened by itself, and then the cold wind blew outside, and the shouting of killing shook the sky, almost scaring me stupidly." Jiao Zhongqing said a little sadly: "Did Gao Xianzhi sacrifice? Alas, he is actually a very good general." ”

"Yes, he is a good general. Mulan looked up at the sky and muttered, "It is because of his excellent generals that he chose to take his life to take responsibility for the destruction of the city." We ······"

"Not good!" Jiao Zhongqing suddenly shouted, only to see many cavalry of the rebels riding a few demon elephants and demon bears rushing away from the ranks of the defending army behind them, and rushed straight to their rear rows.

"Get out of the way!" Hua Mulan took advantage of the momentum and pushed Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi away together, and fell into the bushes next to them. Many of the mounts ridden by those rebels are mutated and demonized animals, and their combat power is much stronger than that of ordinary animals, which can be said to be close to the strength of normal demon species.

"Those who run slower go first, and those who run fast will run after a while!" Mulan shouted loudly to command the chaotic recruits and soldiers as she drew her heavy sword and unleashed its blade to resist a mad demon bear. The recruits calmed down a little when they heard this, and they didn't care who the person who gave the order was, those who were slow or bulky ran out first, and the rest of the slightly agile ones also spontaneously stayed to help resist.

Seeing that more rebel infantry had already rushed over, Mulan's "hum" sword took the lead in forcibly knocking a demon bear away, and then retreated to help Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi.

"It's really difficult to deal with!" Jiao Zhongqing wielded his knife to fight against several demon elephants, trying to shake off the trunks of those elephants that came to roll his blades. Liu Lanzhi shouted: "If I had known, I wouldn't have come! If I had known, I wouldn't have come!" flew and landed on the elephant's back, knocking out several cavalrymen to the ground with one sword.

Seeing that all those infantry were crowded over, Mulan fell to the ground in front of her in a flash, and waited for hundreds of rebels with spears to come forward, slashing out with a single sword, and chopping dozens of rebel soldiers together.

"Mulan!" Jiao Zhongqing rushed to her side with a knife, wanting to help. Hua Mulan picked up another trick on the spot, "Cang Po Chop", turned around and shouted: "Hurry up! Don't wait for me, I have a way to get out." Jiao Zhongqing hesitated, Liu Lanzhi arrived from behind, grabbed his left hand with all his might, and pulled him back. Hua Mulan saw that the remaining recruits and the defenders of Tongguan had basically withdrawn, and slapped a sword to block the enemies, and then quickly withdrew the heavy sword and took out the double sword to protect the body, and quickly sprinted out.

Seeing that they couldn't chase a single step, the rebels behind flew all their spears out, wanting to add a piece of damage. Mulan threw her twin swords behind her, smashing many spears and then spun back, returning to Mulan's hands, and Mulan once again flew far away, and the rebels could no longer pursue. The Tang army's side quickly withdrew from the Tongguan battlefield, leaving behind a sea of blood and corpses.

"What?" Liu Lanzhi, who had not yet recovered from the vicious battle, said in disbelief: "Immediately counterattack Tongguan? Is it a mistake? We have just suffered a defeat." ”

Cheng Yanjin waved the double axe very excitedly, and said, "This is the brilliance of the empress's strategy." The rebels thought that our army had been newly defeated, and they would gather the remnants to defend the remaining positions. However, our main army did not suffer any damage, so we should take advantage of its unpreparedness to counterattack, and it is very likely that we will be able to retake Tongguan. As long as Tong Guan is in hand, the initiative is still in our hands. ”

"But ······" What else did Liu Lanzhi want to say. Cheng Yanjin interrupted unceremoniously this time: "Don't say it, this is the emperor's order, we just need to carry it out." Tomorrow morning the battle will begin······ Prepare everyone. He also knew that although the personal abilities of these recruits were very strong, it was the first time they had seen such a situation on the battlefield, and in desperation, he could only accept the order like this.

Hua Mulan watched Cheng Biting Jin shake her head and leave, she didn't feel good in her heart, and hurriedly chased after her. The rest of the recruits all looked at each other, recalling what they had seen today, and many even covered their eyes, fearing that when they opened their eyes, they would see some terrible memories.

"General?" Hua Mulan quickly caught up with Cheng Yanjin, to her surprise, Cheng Yanjin hid his face and walked away just now, but he didn't want everyone to see the tears on his face. Hua Mulan couldn't help but be shocked: "You are ······"

"Alas······" Cheng Biting Jin held back his emotions, sat down on the ground in a dejected manner, and shook his head incessantly: "No, the news just came from the front line that Gao Xianzhi was brutally killed by the rebels, and there was no corpse in his life." Alas······ A generation of famous generals was victimized by traitors and thieves······ If I were still here, how could I give Li Jinglong, the villain, a chance to open the city? I thought about it······ It's hard to get heartache······"

Hua Mulan was also lonely, and she didn't know how to comfort Cheng Yanjin, so she could only sit quietly with Cheng Yanjin.

After an unknown amount of time, Cheng Yanjin suddenly took a deep breath and said, "Mulan, it's not too early, you have been fighting for a long time today, go back and rest." Tomorrow's Campaign······ It won't be easier than it is today. ”

"What about you, General?" said Mulan, blinking, a little worried.

"Rest assured. Cheng Yanjin shook his arm and said, "I'll go to Lao Qin Qiong and 'Beidi Shuangli' to discuss and see tomorrow's plan." ”

Hua Mulan dared to return to the camp with confidence, but as soon as she returned to the camp with Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing, there was a sudden wheezing sound of "ah" and "ah".

Hua Mulan was startled, thinking that there was an accident inside, so she drew her sword and looked inside, and was immediately stunned.

I saw two white bodies intertwined, writhing incessantly. There was barely any clothing between the two, and the woman's legs were tightly hooked around the man's back, making a non-stop gasping sound, indulging her desires.

Listening to the moans of the two, Mulan's heart seemed to be much empty, and she took two steps back weakly, and sat down heavily on the cold snow, without making a sound, let alone attracting the attention of the two inside. Mulan's heart seems to be like this bleak winter, and it is cold and lonely in the warmth and enthusiasm.
