Chapter 800: Bloody Battle of the Ghost Cliff (I)
The ghost gate cliff passes, the cold wind is working, the mountains are roaring, and the wind and clouds change suddenly......
On the "desperate slope", Zhao Zichuan's troops defended according to the danger, and the five hundred shield formations were lined up, and no one dared to go up to the Mengyuan army in the dangerous realm of the high slope. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Wuliang Tuoduo knew that Zhao Zichuan was already a beast in Wengzhong, and he was not in a hurry, waiting for the arrival of gunpowder for reinforcements, and he was ready to be annihilated in one fell swoop.
In order to capture Zhao Zichuan and capture the Zhao family's "Qiankun Two Swords", Wuliang Tuoduo gave up leading the troops to rescue Bianliang, and the main army stayed behind to guard the Ghost Gate Cliff, so that Bianliang suffered the fall.
On Zhao Zichuan's side, the Mengyuan troops stopped attacking, and the garrison troops on the "Desperate Slope" had a chance to breathe. But they knew in their hearts that the battle of the "Ghost Gate Cliff" was a dead end, and the only fate that awaited them was blood prison and death. Zhao Zichuan also knew very well that in order to gain time for the siege of Bianliang, he was determined to die in the desperate battle......
The top of the "desperate slope", the temple of the humble house......
It was like a dream, and it was a fog in front of me......
"Where am I......" Zhao Zichuan didn't know where he was, his eyes were confused. Looking at the clouds around him, his body fluttered, and his consciousness gradually became trance......
"Zichuan ......" However, an intimate call suddenly came from his ears, and the voice came from afar, getting closer and closer.
"Who is it?" Zhao Zichuan asked softly with a hazy mutter.
"Zichuan-" This time I heard it clearly, a familiar tone, a painful memory, Zhao Zichuan turned his head, and the kind but sad figure stood in front of him.
"Yuru ......" Zhao Zichuan muttered, and sure enough, the figure that appeared in front of him was his wife Li Yuru.
Li Yuru smiled, looked at Zhao Zichuan affectionately, a soft and emotional beauty, so that Zhao Zichuan couldn't come back to his senses for a long time - the figure was blurred, but it was very beautiful, he had never looked at his wife so squarely, and let himself get carried away......
"I'm sorry, Yuru ......" For a long time, Zhao Zichuan looked guilty and said sadly, "I'm useless, I didn't protect you and put your life in danger...... Yuru, in your heart, you must hate me very much for being a useless husband, right......" As he spoke, Zhao Zichuan felt deeply remorseful for failing to protect his wife.
Li Yuru listened, smiled lightly, and said affectionately: "How can it be? You are Zhao Zichuan, the 'flying horse god general' in the north and south of the Central Plains, and the great hero who rescued the people in the world......
"But I, a 'hero', can't even protect my most beloved person......" Zhao Zichuan closed his eyes slightly, and said with a deep heart.
Li Yuru paused, his eyes were a little calm, and then he said righteously: "My ancestor is Li Tingzhi, a famous general of the Anti-Yuan Dynasty, and I am dying on the battlefield today, and I have no regrets for the sake of righteousness...... I am very proud to have you as a husband, and I will inherit the will of my ancestors with you, conquer the battlefield, and kill Yidi......"
"But if you're not here, what's the use of these honors and missions...... Zhao Zichuan continued to feel ashamed, "I once regarded the mission of the family as supreme, and in order to inherit the unfinished will of my ancestors, I vowed to expel the tyranny of Meng Yuan from the Central Plains...... But since I met you, I have an extra responsibility and responsibility in my life, as a husband...... But as a husband, I didn't do a good job and failed to protect you...... I'm sorry for you...... I'm really sorry for you......" Zhao Zichuan said, his expression became more and more sad.
After listening to this, Li Yuru was silent for a long time, and then smiled: "Since my life is like this, it is the number of days, and no matter how much I regret it, it will be in vain...... In my heart, Zichuan, you will always be the 'flying cavalry general' who gallops on the battlefield and kills the mighty generals, you are a real hero, and you will not become depressed because of my departure, and forget your own ambitions, right?"
"Yuru ......" Listening to Li Yuru's more and more excited tone, Zhao Zichuan slowly raised his head, and his expression lit up.
"The ancestor of the Zhao family is the royal family of the first Song Dynasty, and the hatred of the fallen country is remembered in my heart...... Li Yuru said generously, "I swear to fly the sword and gallop across the field, expel the Tartars and restore the Central Plains, as a descendant of the Zhao family, this is your unchanging wish from beginning to end...... I believe in you, as your wife, I believe that you will be able to fulfill the wishes of your ancestors, my life is dead, my soul will always be with you, whether I live or die, I will be in another world, silently watching you, always believing in you......"
"Will the soul always accompany me......" Zhao Zichuan seemed to regain his sadness, and smiled with confidence in his affinity, "Thank you, Yuru ......"
Li Yuru smiled back, and then seemed to think of something again, and said in a tone that changed: "I am proud to be your wife in this life...... And even if I die, you can't do your duty as a husband, but you still have the responsibility of being a father, don't you......"
"An An ......" mentioned his "father", and Zhao Zichuan recited his son's name.
"Have you done what I told you before I died......" Li Yuru asked with concern in the tone of his wife and mother.
"Don't worry, Yuru, I promised you something, and I never broke my promise-" Zhao Zichuan said firmly, "Whether life or death, I will not put our son in danger...... Even if I die, accompany Yuru to Huangquan with you, and I will instruct others to raise our son safely so that he can live well......"
"Yes......" Li Yuru listened, smiled slightly, and said kindly, "An An is safe, I am relieved...... Thank you, Zichuan ......"
After speaking, Li Yuru's back was bright, gradually blurring Zhao Zichuan's vision, and his figure was gradually moving away.
"Yuru-" Zhao Zichuan wanted to reach out and chase after him, but his body was floating, and he couldn't move inexplicably, so he could only watch his wife's figure gradually move away.
However, what caught my eye was not just the light...... there was a loud "boom", and the light turned into a terrible cloud of smoke, like gunpowder exploding, gradually burying Li Yuru's figure in the light and smoke.
"Yuru - Yuru ......" Zhao Zichuan screamed with all his might, but he couldn't get his wife back...... That scene, like in the middle of the battlefield, Li Yuru once again died in front of him. Zhao Zichuan was extremely sad, but he was powerless to struggle in pain......
In the end, Li Yuru completely disappeared in front of his eyes, disappearing into a thick smoke after the explosion, and the light in front of him also turned to pitch black, and Zhao Zichuan's mind was suddenly in a trance......
"Boom-" There was another tremor not far away, Zhao Zichuan's whole body trembled for a while, and he suddenly woke up-
It turned out that it was Zhao Zichuan who saw his wife just now in a dream. Because the enemy army did not attack at the bottom of the mountain for a long time, Zhao Zichuan was tired of breaking through at the bottom of the mountain before, and his body was tired. And the loud noise that woke up to himself was really the sound of artillery, Zhao Zichuan, who suddenly woke up from his dream, seemed to realize the uneasiness, and the whole person immediately sat up in shock, and his expression became serious......
"Report-" At the critical moment, the soldiers outside the temple suddenly came with an urgent report.
Zhao Zichuan seemed to have guessed something, and with a look of being ready for all dangers, he asked calmly, "What happened?"
"General Qiqi Zhao-" the soldier said impatiently, "the enemy's artillery attack under the mountain has launched a strong onslaught on our position!"
As Zhao Zichuan expected, what should have come has come after all...... Zhao Zichuan picked up the "Qiankun Two Swords" again, and said angrily and generously: "Order, the whole army is on alert, swear to strictly defend the high slope position, and never let the enemy attack half a step!"
"Yes—" After the soldier received the order, he immediately turned his head and left, and returned to the middle of the formation.
There was fierce artillery fire in front of him, Zhao Zichuan's eyes were resolute, and he definitely looked at the "Qiankun Two Swords" in his hand, remembering the dream of reuniting with his deceased wife just now, and secretly resolved in his heart: "Yuru, don't worry, I vow to inherit the will of my ancestors, and I will fight to the death with Wuliang Tuoduo!"
After speaking, Zhao Zichuan stood up in battle armor, held two swords, walked out of the temple with resolute steps, and rushed to the battlefield......
"Boom, boom, boom—" The gunpowder of the Mengyuan army arrived, and Wuliang Tuoduo launched a sea-like onslaught towards the position of Zhao Zichuan's army.
"Ahh......h......h
"Report to your lordship, the enemy's position has been blown open by our firearms, and our army can easily take the stronghold as long as the troops attack it-" beside Wuliang Todo, the Mengyuan soldiers on the front line ran back to report and said.
"Very good-Zhao Zichuan, this time, you can't hide anymore, you will still die at my hands after all......" Wuliang Tuoduo smiled coldly, and then ordered, "Order, order the front army to divide into cavalry and attack the 'Desperate Slope'!"
"Yes-" The Meng Yuan soldiers were ordered to immediately go down and arrange an offensive. Wuliang Tuoduo saw it in his eyes, killed Zhao Zichuan, and captured the "Qiankun Two Swords" in front of him, and his heart was extremely excited......
"Kill-" With an earth-shattering shout, the Meng Yuan army got up and set up its orders, and under the cover of the onslaught of artillery fire, launched an offensive like a tide on the "desperate slope" of Zhao Zichuan's army's position. Countless Mengyuan soldiers followed up like tigers and wolves, as if they were about to swallow Zhao Zichuan's troops in one wave.
On Zhao Zichuan's side, because of the incessant bombardment of artillery fire, the "steel shield array" in the dangerous place at the pass has now been blown up, and countless soldiers have been killed and injured. Seeing the flood of Mengyuan's troops, the artillery attack was uncertain, and above the narrow pass, the soldiers of the vanguard army had to fight hand-to-hand with the Mengyuan soldiers with their flesh and blood. The enemy was outnumbered, and the morale was reversed, and it was extremely tragic for a while......
"Ahh......h The soldiers of the vanguard army fought bravely, but it was difficult to resist the division of Mengyuan tigers and wolves, and in a few short artillery fires, only hundreds of soldiers guarded the "desperate slope" in front of the corpses......
"Kill-" The Mengyuan troops intensified their attacks, and soon broke through the positional defense line of the vanguard army and headed straight for the center of the slope top. In the vanguard army, Li Xian and Li Gong led the remaining troops, vowed to fight hard with the enemy until the last moment, with the determination to die, and waved the army to kill the enemy......
The artillery fire continued, the smoke in front of the "desperate slope" was thick, and the corpses of soldiers were innumerable, and the battle situation was already scorching and suffocating......
Suddenly, while strolling in the yellow sand, a red war horse leaped into the shadow, crisscrossing the sky and galloping through thousands of miles -- at the time of crisis, Zhao Zichuan held the "Qiankun Two Swords", even if he was in the air, he flew to kill the front, waved the sword light, and galloped down from the army to kill the head of the Meng Yuan general.
"Flying Zhao Zichuan killed!-" Cheering in the formation, Zhao Zichuan rode and shouted an order, dancing with a sword in his hand, the enemy will be bleeding everywhere, and before he heard his scream, the corpse was in a different place, lying down in a pool of blood.
Zhao Zichuan killed, and the soldiers of Meng Yuan were terrified. After all, in front of the valley formation, the lone horse flew forward, and the nine generals were killed, and the military power of the "flying horse god general" was overwhelming, and all the soldiers of Mengyuan could not resist, and they all trembled and avoided.
Zhao Zichuan flew forward, the vanguard soldiers and soldiers rose up for a while, although they fought to kill and wound countless people, but they still looked at death as if they were home, followed Zhao Zichuan Pegasus to jump down, rushed down the hillside and fought to the death with the enemy......
"Ahh
"Ahh......h......h
"Zhao Zichuan, you have a kind of ......" Wuliang Tuoduo looked at it at the bottom of the mountain, seeing that Zhao Zichuan was brave and brave, killing countless soldiers, and his might even forced back the offensive of his own troops, he secretly indignant in his heart, "But you can only stop here, let me personally send you down to Huangquan......
After that, Urliang Todo stepped forward from the army, personally put away the gunner's subordinates, and said angrily: "Go away, let me come-"
I saw Wuliang Tuoduo moving the artillery fire, aiming the mouth of the pipe on the hillside, and Zhao Zichuan, who killed the enemy bravely, personally lit the line of fire......
"Boom, boom, boom-" The sound of artillery fire on the slope was still there, and the battlefield was full of smoke, but due to Zhao Zichuan's bravery, Mengyuan's troops still failed to take the stronghold on the hillside and were all blocked.
"Ahh......h......h
"Boom-" However, a roaring cannon sounded, and the cannon fire personally ignited by Wuliang Todo under the mountain, a flash of fire was flying in the direction of Zhao Zichuan......
Zhao Zichuan didn't know it, and swung the sword in his hand vigorously, until a hot current hit him at the side......
"Bang-" In front of the battlefield, the boulder beside Zhao Zichuan was blown apart by artillery fire......
"Huh-" The jujube red horse neighed for a while, as if it had been greatly frightened, and it was panicked for a while......
Zhao Zichuan's eyes were black, he was injured by the explosion, and his consciousness was blank for a while, and then his body seemed to be uncontrollable, and he slowly fell from the war horse - Zhao Zichuan was injured by artillery fire, although he was not hit, but his consciousness was already faint, and the injury was obviously not light......
The jujube red horse was no big deal, watching Zhao Zichuan fall from him, and for a while surrounded him, wailing and neighing......
"General Zhao!-" Li Xian and Li Gong, who were fighting with the enemy in front of the slope, suddenly saw Zhao Zichuan injured and fainted, and suddenly shouted in panic......
"Uh-huh-hmm...... Hahaha-" And at the bottom of the mountain, seeing the scene of Zhao Zichuan falling off the horse, Wuliang Tuoduo suddenly showed a hideous smile and laughed loudly, "It's successful...... I've finally succeeded -- Zhao Zichuan, you have finally tasted the bitterness, and you can't afford to be seriously injured by my own hands; God can't save you now, I want to see how hard your life can be!" Hahahaha......
After a wild laugh, Ura Todo gradually became insane, and he was in the army for a long time......
"General Zhao!" Li Xian and Li Gong immediately rushed to the place where the incident occurred and drove away the Mengyuan soldiers who were surrounded by them. Seeing that Zhao Zichuan was only injured and fell unconscious, and still had breath, he ordered his subordinates to continue to resist stubbornly, and he and the others tried their best to save Zhao Zichuan who was unconscious.
"Move General Zhao to a safe location first, it's too dangerous here!" Li Gong shouted impatiently.
"The enemy army has already attacked, where else is it safe?" Li Xian was also extremely anxious, and his tone was very impatient.
"Go to the temple-" Li Xian continued, "Our troops continue to resist here, let's move General Zhao to the temple on the top of the mountain first, and try our best to save him!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" At the critical moment, this was already the best way the two could think of. So the two worked together, supported the faint Zhao Zichuan to transfer to the temple on the top of the mountain, and left the battlefield first with the jujube red horse......
The remaining vanguard troops continued to stay in their positions to resist desperately, and the battle situation fell into crisis again...... (To be continued.) )
