Rangers: Warrior Vanguard Chapter 8: Life and Death
The winter morning slowly arrived under the faint warm sun, and Hua Mulan was outside the camp, with her knees around all night, until Jiao Zhongqing walked out with a tired face, and she walked out of the confused inner world.
"Wood······ Mulan, why are you here?" Jiao Zhongqing's tone at this time was different from before, and he was also a little wary of Mulan, as if he was afraid that she would know something.
"No······ It's okay. Mulan has been torturing her heart all night, what kind of feelings she has for Jiao Zhongqing, is it a friend or something else? Maybe she hasn't been able to get a real answer yet.
"Are you okay?" Jiao Zhongqing looked at Mulan's face was very pale, worried about what was wrong with her body. Mulan staggered up and said, "No······ It's okay······ I'm fine······" As soon as he took two steps, he fell to the ground before he could return to the camp.
"Mulan, how are you?" Liu Lanzhi had just walked out, and when she saw Mulan's appearance, she immediately rushed over to help her up, and asked with concern, "Are you okay? Hey, why are you so hot? ”
Hearing Liu Lanzhi say this, Hua Mulan suddenly felt that her eyes were full of stars, her head was dizzy, and she couldn't control her body, so she returned to her bed with Liu Lanzhi's support. When Jiao Zhongqing saw it, he hesitated to get close to Mulan, but he unconsciously took two steps back and said, "Really? Mulan······ I ······ I'll go tell General Cheng. "Rush out.
Hua Mulan looked at Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi, thinking about the changes that the two of them had made from last night to now, laughed self-deprecatingly, and said, "Yes······ Life is too short to chill. ”
When Liu Lanzhi heard this, she trembled slightly, and then forced a smile: "Mulan is fine, we will definitely let General Cheng agree, and we won't let you go to the battlefield today." You can recuperate in peace and wait for our triumphant return. ”
"Alas. Hua Mulan sighed and said in her heart: "Maybe this shocking battlefield shook them, right? They feel that maybe they don't have a tomorrow, so they don't hide their inner emotions anymore, right?" Thinking about this, she suddenly felt more comfortable, her heart was soothed, and she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
"Let's go!" The assaulters who led the surprise attack in the early morning were led by Cheng Yanjin and Li Guangbi, who had been on the battlefield for a long time and were good at fighting fast, and what they wanted was to catch the rebels off guard.
This time, Mulan did not attack, but stayed alone in the camp to recuperate. Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing looked at the unsmiling new leader Li Guangbi, in fact, they didn't want to participate in this assault battle, but if the two stayed in the camp, they always felt that they couldn't stand Hua Mulan in their hearts, so they still chose to take the initiative.
Sure enough, the rebels did not have any precautions against the surprise attack of the Tang army, they did not even completely clean up the battlefield, and many corpses remained in the snow. The assault team walked quickly, and without making a sound, they quickly approached Tongguan. There are no complete defensive measures behind Tongguan, only a few rebels temporarily set up the camp, and the rebels in the camp seem to have not escaped the joy of victory, all in their dreams.
Cheng bit Jin with an axe, knocking out a few rebel guards and not giving them a chance to make any noise. Li Guangbi also reversed the steel gun and smashed the guards unconscious with the barrel of the gun, neither seeing blood nor making a sound.
When he crossed the rebel camp, Cheng Yanjin waved his hand, flew and jumped, and immediately led the generals to start attacking the city.
The rebels in the city reacted at this time, but Cheng Yanjin and Li Guangbi had already ascended to the top of the city. A pair of axes and a spear have already occupied the advantage of the city.
Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing also climbed the city tower while they were in turmoil, and watched Cheng Yanjin and Li Guangbi occupy a corner and kill each other. The two of them also wanted to make some contributions, but suddenly a black shadow flashed in front of the two of them, forcing them straight back. The black shadow didn't do anything to them, but went straight to Li Guangbi.
Liu Lanzhi looked at it, and suddenly pointed at the black shadow and said, "Be careful! That's the guy who attacked Zhong Qing secretly!" Li Guangbi reacted quickly, turned around and shot the black shadow with a blow.
The black shadow slammed into Li Guangbi's steel gun like a black ball, rolled backwards unscathed, and appeared in front of Li Guangbi.
"It's you!" Li Guangbi sneered and said, "Shi Siming, you are a very good lackey! I heard that you have repeatedly gone to Chang'an to make trouble, which is really hard." ”
"The last thing Lao Tzu is afraid of is hard work!" Shi Siming smiled arrogantly and said: "Lao Tzu has long wanted to compete with you Li Guangbi! But you have been nesting in Tongguan before and have not come out, and today you are finally willing to come out to compete with me, let's see the move!"
"Eagle insect technique!" Li Guangbi picked up a light shot, and threw the three sword qi away, but after he made a move, he immediately made a set of joint movements, and swept away one of the long crossbows that was shot at him.
"An Qingxu, your riding and archery level still needs to work hard, and the sound of shooting is too loud. Li Guangbi said, shaking his finger disdainfully, pointing directly at An Qingxu, the fat general who came quickly with crossbow arrows in hand.
"It's okay, if an arrow can kill you, then how can you deserve the title of 'Northland Double Li'?" but you better be careful!" As he spoke, he pulled the bowstring and shot an arrow at Li Guangbi out of thin air.
Li Guangbi looked at the sharp arrow that was still fluorescent in the air, this time he did not have a hard top, but waved the gun lightly and bounced the sharp arrow out. The arrow swirled in the air for a while, and exploded immediately.
"Isn't there something new about your strategy?" Cheng Yanjin Fei jumped heavily and jumped directly towards An Qingxu's face. An Qingxu shot an arrow from afar, and it seemed that the arrow hit a certain pillar and pulled An Qingxu straight out.
"Still hiding?" Cheng bit Jin and laughed, and quickly rushed over to chase An Qingxu. At the same time, Li Guangbi and Shi Siming fought together again.
"Your Majesty······ When will our army leave?" Li Jing and Qin Qiong watched the chaos above Tongguan from a distance, and they both wanted to lead hundreds of thousands of troops to attack together.
"The less the loss, the better. Wu Zetian smiled slightly and said, "After all, our soldiers are all men of our Datang, and the fewer casualties they have, the better." ”
"Then what are we waiting for?" Qin Qiong looked at what Wu Zetian seemed to be brewing, and with his understanding of Wu Zetian, he was a little worried: "Your Majesty, your move ······" When Li Jing heard this, he came to his senses and said, "Your Majesty, this is inland, I'm afraid your attack is not lethal enough." ”
"In order to minimize losses, let's fight for it. Wu Zetian motioned to his two important ministers to relax, just like that, he opened his arms on the spot, raised his hands slightly, and chanted: "The power of the emperor! Take away in a wave!
Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing are also planning to join the battle, after all, Li Guangbi and Shi Siming, Cheng Yanjin and An Qingxu are fighting inseparably. Suddenly, the entire land of Tongguan shook, and everyone's bodies were forcibly shaken.
Countless dark blue magic circles suddenly appeared on the land of Tongguan and the city wall, and they exploded together, not giving anyone time or a chance to react.
"Ahh
"Rush!" Qin Qiong and Li Jing did not hesitate for a moment, and led the army to charge out in a straight line together, and more than 100,000 Tang troops attacked Tongguan in one go. If they break through the Tong Pass directly, those rebels may not have the slightest chance to react, and they will be annihilated.
Wu Zetian did his best to send out the trick of the son of the sea, and sat down on the ground in a daze, his face pale and panting.
Mulan's body had recovered a lot, and she remained in the barracks as the remaining defenders of the guards. She watched as the Empress summoned the strongest magic circle desperately to help the frontline troops fight, just to reduce their casualties. Looking at the empress who was covering her heart and looking pained, Hua Mulan was deeply touched and looked at Wu Zetian motionlessly.
"It's still too far from land after all. Wu Zetian said to himself: "It seems that the mana is still not enough, if you can make more progress······ The losses should be less. ”
Hua Mulan also thought in her heart: "In addition to attacking hard, is there any other wise way to save combat power?"
