At the beginning, it was divided into the eldest and second sons of the old king of Wudu, and the king of Di was declining, competing for favor in front of each other, and secretly damaging the other behind him. Xu is the cousin of King Di, quite trusting, and is a confidant. The filial piety and virtuousness of the beginning are quite moving. and Qiusu hunting, along the martial arts, there are many prey, and the crown is outstanding. Xu secretly said to the king of Di: along the tyranny, I am afraid of hunting brothers with wild animals. The king of Di was determined to be the first son of the world, so that the general of the east of the town went out of the town.
----------- Introduction
The 2,000 Liangzhou Army Guard Battalion is the elite of the elite, adhering to the fine tradition of the Changshui Army, as long as you rush to the city, kill the remnants of the army, occupy the dangerous and occupy the danger, seal the treasury of the palace, take over the horses and take over the horses, everyone has a clear division of labor, and there is no ambiguity and procrastination.
One thousand Qiu Chi troops faced two thousand brave but tacit cooperation with the Liangzhou army, and after losing the only city they could rely on, even Sun Wu would be powerless in his reincarnation. After Le Changshan led a group of men and horses to rendezvous with the "Tuoshantou people retinue" of the Chinese army, the only thing the desperate Qiu Chi army could do was to set a fire to a separate forage field in the west of the city. In the cold wind of early spring, the mountains of hay suddenly burst into flames, turning half the day red.
In the thick night, people within a radius of hundreds of miles of Qiuchi Mountain could see this red fire, and they couldn't help but move their minds in amazement.
Speaking of the other way, when Yang Xu first entered Yangma City under the escort of the "Tuoshantou people's entourage" such as the head of Liangzhou, who was originally from Di, Zeng Hua, Duan Huan, and Zhao Fu led six hundred Mo swordsmen to follow Jiang Nan, and quietly followed the sheep intestine path hidden in the dense grass jungle, and was marching rapidly towards Qiuchi Mountain.
There is a section of this road that is indeed difficult to walk, and it can be said that it is the most difficult section of the road that they have walked for more than 1,000 miles since they attacked Qiuchi. Not only is the road narrow and crooked, but it's also full of cliffs, so it's no wonder it's so hidden.
The Mo knife men carried more than two meters long Mo knives on this kind of road, which increased the difficulty of their march, especially when walking on the edge of the cliff, which made it very difficult for them to maintain their balance. The Mo knife men tied the Mo knife behind their backs, and then hunched their waists, using their hands and feet together, half crawling and half walking, walking and climbing on the trail with difficulty.
Zeng Hua walked in front, and he was also very nervous. He didn't carry a Mo knife, but he carried a strong bow and two barrels of arrows, plus a waist knife or something, and it was extremely dangerous to walk on this sheep intestine path. In the dark of night, I listened to the icy mountain wind howling from the distant ridge and then blowing like a knife in my face. The violent wind blew Zeng Hua's whole person like a dead leaf struggling in the wind. Zeng Hua was slowly moving while grasping the stones, tree roots and other things that he could grasp on the ground.
Looking at Duan Huan, who was carrying a Mo knife and a strong bow in front of him, he not only walked extremely steadily, but also walked much faster than a snail like himself. Zeng Hua couldn't help but secretly admire, a cow is a cow! If he hadn't carried a knife, he might have been blown down the mountain and shattered.
But there are many Mo swordsmen, who are not as lucky as Zeng Hua, and there is no Duan Huanniu. When Zeng Hua slowly climbed up, he suddenly heard an abnormal sound, as if some heavy object suddenly hit the mountain rock, and then continued to fall quickly towards the bottom of the mountain. The sound is very soft, and in the whistling mountain wind, you can't hear it if you don't listen carefully.
Zeng Hua suddenly understood what was going on, he couldn't bear to look back, he just wanted to crawl forward desperately. It's not that he was frightened by this voice, but that he felt that if he didn't climb quickly, his comrades behind him would be in more danger. Walking on this kind of road, life and death can no longer be decided by yourself, all you can do is hope to climb a little more before you fall.
Except for Zeng Hua, probably all the Mo Dao Hands who heard the sound thought so.
It took two hours, and everyone finally "climbed" through that dangerous road and came to the bottom of Qiuchi Mountain. There is a large meadow in the back mountain of Qiuchi Mountain, surrounded by cliffs and ridges, and it is impossible to climb up from the bottom of the mountain in the eyes of ordinary people. Therefore, it was surrounded by a wooden fence, and a horse corridor was built in a corner of the grassland, which was specially used to captive the "high-end horses" of Yang Chu's "senior personnel" such as Qiuchi, and there were only more than 100 horses, so I didn't think it was too small here. However, the Qiuchi defenders still entered the pass behind the Wudu City of Qiuchi Mountain in the hilltop pasture, built two arrow towers, and then connected them with a wooden fence, and laid a layer of wooden planks on top to build a wall tower that can be paralleled by two people, and opened a door in the middle, which can be regarded as a connection with the city of the high wall and the back gate of the front mountain.
From a distance in the grass, there were less than 300 Qiu Chi defenders on the arrow tower and the wall tower, most of whom were dozing vigorously, and in their eyes, the symbolic meaning of staying here was far greater than the practical meaning. But the wooden gate was closed, and the horse corridor in the other corner was dark, and according to Jiang Nan, there were about a dozen horsemen living there at night, so that they could take care of the Qiu Chi horses nearby at night. All you need to do is send a team of Mo Daomen, and the key is how to open the wooden gate.
Zeng Hua lay there thinking secretly.
At this time, Duan Huan slowly crawled over and said softly, "Sixty-three brothers have been folded. There was a great deal of pain in his voice, which made Zeng Hua deeply feel his sadness and heartache.
The loss rate of ten percent, this rate is very heavy in Zeng Hua's heart, plus they are all Mo knife hands, Zeng Hua almost crushed his teeth after hearing this.
He looked up at the sky, there was no moon, it was really a dark night of murder, listen to the surroundings, the mountain wind was urgent, it was the wind high and the day of fire, today Lao Tzu did not kill you a full house, I am sorry for these sixty-three good brothers who fell off the cliff and did not want to gnaw their bones.
Zeng Hua took the lead, and the swordsmen of Zhongmo slowly crawled in the grass, and the sound of the whirring mountain wind easily concealed the sound of the grass moving, and the dark night easily hid their figures in it. Everyone soon climbed to a place less than fifty meters in front of the wooden gate, and they could all clearly hear the sound of snoring.
Just as Zeng Hua, Duan Huan, and Zhao Fu were about to quietly touch it to open the door and then suddenly make a shock, a huge fire suddenly rose under the mountain, and the red light reflected the light on Qiuchi Mountain, and there was a slight panicked exclamation with the mountain wind in the firelight.
Changle Mountain and Wei Xingguo under the mountain did it so quickly? This is not good for night raids in ancient times, there is no precise time agreement, and no one on either side is sure when to start. Especially like now, when the black lights are blind and separated by more than ten or twenty miles, we can only rely on estimation and experience, and more importantly, we must rely on improvisation.
Looking at the red light on the other side of the mountain, and then looking at the defenders of Qiuchi who were awakened, they lit torches one after another, and stood on the arrow tower and the wall tower to look down the mountain. Zeng Hua was depressed in his heart, these birdmen, they didn't look at when, they said that they would fight, you have completed the task, how can Lao Tzu complete the task?
Immediately, he didn't hesitate, stood up, and ordered while taking his bow: "Yuanqing and I cover with bows and arrows, Changjun, split the door for me!" Brothers, you are going to die here today! Why don't you rush into Wudu City! ”
Everyone rose up one after another and shouted, "Take the order!" Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
As soon as the words fell, only two string sounds were heard, and Duan Huan shot the first arrow almost at the same time as Zeng Hua, and then only two screams were heard. Zeng Hua muttered while taking the arrow, this Yuanqing can't be bull X to this point, he opened his bow before him, and actually let him shoot the arrow at the same time. It seems that although his hard work in the past few years has yielded results, he is still much worse than a good person like Duan Huan. After Zeng Hua arrived in this world, he knew that he had to have a skill to defend himself, so he practiced archery and riding the basis of "slightly riding and shooting", and he thought that he had made a lot of progress in a few years, but today compared with Duan Huan, one of the "advantages" is gone.
However, Zeng Hua's hard training was still effective. You see that he stepped forward with his front foot, his left arm straightened, and his right hand pulled an arrow, and suddenly pulled a special "general's bow" made by the "arsenal" of Weiyang, and when he saw the target, his hand was loosened, and the string rang and the arrow flew, shooting directly into the chest of a Qiuchi defender.
At this time, in addition to Duan Huan beside him, more than a dozen guards with only strong bows and horizontal knives also opened their bows and arrows. Only the sound of strings was heard, and the arrows were bloody.
The Qiu Chi defenders had just been blinded by the loud shouts not far in front of them, and before they could understand what was going on, they saw their companions being shot one by one by arrows flying in the dark, covering their wounds and falling downstairs one after another.
"Oh no! There is an enemy attack! The defenders, who finally responded, shouted loudly, a sharp voice that was particularly poignant in the night, echoing the screams of the defenders who continued to be shot before they died.
At this time, Zhao Fu had already rushed to the front of the wooden gate with more than a dozen Mo knife hands. Zhao Fu danced his knife at the gap between the woods, his hands were like lightning, fast and accurate, and soon broke all the ropes or horizontal logs that tied the wood into a grid, and suddenly made the wooden gate that could only prevent the impact of the horses creaked, and there was a danger of falling apart.
More than a dozen Mo Dao hands put the Mo knife to the side, took a dozen steps back, and then ran forward quickly, holding their shoulders with both hands, and using their momentum to hit the wooden fence. Back and forth twice, the wooden fence that had lost its lateral connection immediately knocked a large opening. Zhao Fu yelled: "Go back and get the knife!" Then when more than a dozen Mo knife men went back to get the Mo knives on the ground, they took a step forward, and there were a few Mo knives back and forth towards the wooden gate that had been smashed to pieces, and suddenly a wide gap was split.
Zhao Fu didn't look back, he rushed in with a Mo knife, and just a few Qiu Chi defender officers saw that the wooden gate was about to be split, and hurriedly rushed down with more than a dozen sergeants, ready to plug the gap.
Zhao Fu stepped forward, without saying a word, he swept at the black shadow in front of him, and immediately cut the two Qiu Chi sergeants in front into four, and the smell of blood rose to the sky. Before the Qiu Chi sergeants could come back to their senses, Zhao Fu made an oblique split, which suddenly made a Qiu Chi officer standing there lose his head and half a shoulder. Looking at this "strange figure" in front of them, the Qiu Chi defenders behind were almost stupid, when had they ever seen such a fierce opponent?
Although they were stunned, Zhao Fu's hands and feet did not slow down because of this, only to see a few white lights flashing in the dark night and the red light of the torches in the distance, and there was no one standing in front of the thin and tall man. Behind him, more and more Mo Dao Men poured in, and under the leadership of Zeng Hua, Duan Huan and Zhao Fu, they quickly rushed towards the "Qiu Chi Mansion".
Since the Wudu City of Qiuchi Mountain is facing the front mountain avenue, and the back mountain is a residential area except for the fertile land, there is no effective defense at all. There were many Qiu Chi people who heard the chaos, or called the family to come out or boldly came out to see what was going on, but they saw Zhao Fu and Duan Huan covered in blood, carrying a bloody long knife, and rushed over murderously, and there were faintly many people behind them, all of whom looked the same from a distance.
Qiu Chiren, who saw it quickly, immediately shrank back, and then closed the door tightly, not daring to open the door again. The slow response, and even a very small number of "brain short circuits" actually stepped forward to be interrogated, and Duan Huan, Zhao Fu and others were easily stabbed, and there would never be a second knife, and then a corpse was left on the side of the road.
Under Jiang Nan's guidance, he walked in for about a few miles and came to a three-way intersection. The road on the left is the only avenue that leads down the mountain, where the defenders of Qiuchi who have heard the news and rushed to "King Qin" are pouring in, and they are holding torches, shaking the whole avenue to the point of dots. They heard the news of the enemy attack in the guarding city below, and under the leadership of Yang Chu's hardcore henchmen, they all formed groups up the mountain to support the Qiuchi Mansion, because they knew that there were only a few hundred pro-troops there, and if there was really danger, it would be unimaginable.
On the right is the center leading to Qiu Chi, the destination of the Liangzhou army this time, Qiu Chi Gongfu. There are hundreds of pro-army troops there. The pro-army guarding the mansion first saw the fire under the mountain, and the mountain behind was in chaos, and immediately knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly told Yang Chu, who was called awake.
Yang Chu stood on the tall building of Qiu Chi Mansion, and saw that the fire under the mountain was getting stronger and stronger, and it seemed that the sky was going to be burned through. Then the mountain suddenly became quiet, but from time to time there were a few screams from the place near the mansion, and there was a faint panicked scream, like a flock of sheep with a wolf breaking in.
Yang Chu thought hard, trying to figure out what was going on. It is possible that the horse raising city under the mountain will be attacked by the enemy, but how can this Qiuchi Mountain Wudu City be touched by the enemy silently? Didn't the ancestors choose this place because it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, didn't they say that this city was the most dangerous city in the world? Didn't Liu Yao look at the city and sigh and return melancholy?
Yang Chu didn't have time to investigate whether the ancestor had fooled him, he looked at the current situation, and knew that the most important thing at the moment was to get in touch with the soldiers and horses guarding the city in Qianshan. As long as the enemy holds these three forks, and the reinforcements below can't come up, his Qiu Chi Mansion will become a good place for others to close the door and beat the dog.
So Yang Chu immediately ordered that the five hundred princes' pro-army immediately divide three hundred, rush down, and hold the three forks at all costs. And he personally went to the hall to appease the dozens of frightened and frightened leaders of the Qiang and Di who gathered together.
The three hundred Qiu Chi pro-army did not have to defend the three forks "at all costs", because it was already occupied by the Liangzhou army and the Mo swordsmen. All they can do is move forward, or if they're lucky, the uncharted enemies will be scared away and automatically get out of the way.
However, at this time, the Mo swordsmen of the Liangzhou army were divided into two parts, and some dozens of people rushed to the three forks in front of the pro-army of the Qiu Chi Mansion under the leadership of the Mo sword generals on the left and right, while the large army behind was under the leadership of Zeng Hua, and was still cleaning up some loyal "Qiu Chi senior officials" with family members and subordinates The death squad was dragged back by about seven or eight hundred meters.
At this time, the next to rush to the fork of the road were the Gongfu pro-army, they deserved to be the elite of the Qiu Chi army, and they broke out with a rare courage and fierceness in times of crisis. They brandished knives and guns, shouting and rushed towards the three forks.
It's a pity that what they encountered was Duan Huan and Zhao Fu, in front of these two Mo sword generals, the three hundred Qiu Chi defenders were like cats and dogs who wanted to grab food with lions.
Duan Huan, Zhao Fu and dozens of Mo swordsmen formed a team of people, facing the Qiu Chi pro-army who rushed over, calmly waving the Mo knife in their hands, or sweeping thousands of troops, or slashing left and right, the knife was like a swift wind, and the blood was like a flying rainbow. In that instant, within five meters in front of the Mo Dao team, there were no living creatures, only severed limbs and remnants in one place.
The Qiu Chi defenders who guarded the city pass in the front mountain rushed to approach the three forks one after another when the Mo swordsmen were the hottest killing, and the more than ten Mo swordsmen who stayed in front to monitor the Qianshan defenders reported loudly to the back while lining up: "There are still a hundred meters!" Eighty meters to go! Fifty meters away! Thirty meters away! ”
Hearing the final report, Duan Huan roared, slammed the Mo knife to the ground, took off the strong bow and arrows behind him while turning around, and just stood still facing the direction of the front mountain, he heard the strings like thunderbolts, and the arrows flew out one after another like locusts, and suddenly heard the screams of the defenders of the front mountain who rushed up again and again, and suddenly fell down more than a dozen people.
Duan Huan stood there like a pillar of the sea god, looking at the defenders of the front mountain dozens of meters away as nothing, calmly taking arrows from the quiver held by a Mo swordsman next to him, arrow after arrow, without pause in between, and it was arrows and arrows that cost people's lives, just in that breath, Duan Huan actually shot out two arrows, a hundred arrows. The corpses lay in a dense patch on the avenue dozens of meters away.
The defenders of the front hill who rushed up suddenly stagnated, and their pace of running slowed down a lot, allowing the officers and generals behind them to shout wildly. The corpses of their colleagues in front told them the fact that whoever rushed to the front must be the first to lie down.
As soon as the time slowed down, Zeng Hua rushed up with a large team of Mo knife hands. Seeing this situation, Zeng Hua led a large group of Mo swordsmen to support Duan Huan to block the defenders of the front mountain, and at the same time ordered loudly: "Long army, capture Yang Chu alive!" ”
Zhao Fu also shook the Mo knife when he heard the order, pulled out the horizontal knife, held it in both hands, and shouted: "Capture Yang Chu alive!" He took the lead in rushing into the Gongfu pro-army with less than two hundred people left. I saw that Zhao Fu could rush forward, and with a movement of his hands, the knife swept over the surrounding pro-army sergeants like lightning, leaving deep blood marks. But Zhao Fu's figure did not stop at all, and when the surrounding sergeants had not fallen to the ground, he grabbed a few steps forward, and then slashed left and right. At this time, Zhao Fu was like a poisonous snake that burrowed into the crowd, his knife was like a sharp wind, and the Qiuchi defenders around him were like fallen leaves swept by autumn leaves, scattered in the light of the knife shadows.
When more than two hundred Mo swordsmen behind Zhao Fu followed in, those princely forces finally collapsed, turned around and ran towards Qiu Chi Mansion, while Zhao Fu and more than two hundred Mo swordsmen rushed in. Suddenly, I only heard that the entire Qiuchi Mansion was like an oil pod with a pot boiling, screams, screams, wild screams, and cries, which sounded in the brightly lit Qiuchi Mansion, no less than the shouts of the defenders in front of the three forks.
Half an hour later, an earth-shattering voice shouted out from dozens of voices: "Catch Yang Chu!" Catch Yang Chu! ”
