Lieyan was covered in black smoke, and seemed to be shouting at the sun in the sky, wanting to compete with the sun for heat and brightness. But the sun smiled softly, shook the shiny hair on his body casually, and returned to the clouds.
Went to sleep.
The fierce battle started near the stone wall outside Wutu Valley, and then continued.
The arrow flew across the sky, as if to embrace the blue sky, and the sharp sound of breaking through the air seemed to be singing loudly because it had gained freedom, but soon the arrow realized that there was an invisible force pulling him, making him have to
Turning around again, the arrow screamed with resentment in his heart, piercing into the shield, the soil, and the human body, and then trembled with satisfaction amidst the shouts and wails.
The person who was shouting one moment turned into a corpse the next moment.
He wanted to rush forward, but fell down the next moment.
Those who wanted to run back fell down the next moment.
Every moment, someone dies.
Every minute, someone is wailing.
The blood spreads and seems to seep out of anything,
There is blood on the stone walls, blood on the swords and guns, blood on the cloth robes and armor, and blood on the flags and arrows. It seems that everything in the world can bleed, and there is bright red, pink, black and red everywhere...
All kinds of wounds, all kinds of bones, all kinds of stumps, like a big bowl of strawberry shaved ice knocked over to the ground.
Someone was lying on the ground and howling miserably. The broken tibia of the calf was sticking out of the flesh, and it was bent like the broken chicken claw of a braised chicken.
Taste, smell, hearing and vision all seem to be on the verge of failure.
Only the crazy bestiality can survive.
The soldiers of Cheshi Houguo resisted like madmen. Perhaps it was because Wutu Valley was their capital, their spiritual holy land, or for some other reason. Gao Shun and others met their advance in this place.
The hardest bone ever.
Whether it's a conspiracy or a scheming, at the moment, only the most primitive forces are competing.
Everything is the most intuitive manifestation.
born.
Or die.
The soldiers led by Gao Shun did perform to their best. The stone walls of Wutu Valley were like rocks in the violent storms and turbulent waves. They were precarious and could be submerged at any time. But after all, the defenders occupied a certain area.
With the advantage, the attacker can only smear the stone wall with blood and flesh.
"If there is still some gunpowder..."
Gao Shun sighed softly.
There was not much gunpowder originally allocated to him, and the last bit was used up in his tunnel.
Now we can only rely on people, like a sea of people to wash away.
The only good thing is that the stone walls of Wutu Valley are still not as good as those majestic cities in Han Dynasty. If it were the four or five-foot-long majestic city walls in Han Dynasty, it would give a headache just to look at it, let alone to build it.
The ants are gone.
A chaotic rain of arrows came whistling, and Gao Shun glanced sideways, not even bothering to raise his shield. Sure enough, the arrows flew a little short of distance, and they just landed diagonally in front of Gao Shun, with a popping sound.
Go into the soil.
Gao Shun had a dull pain in his waist.
The wounds on his body never healed.
Under strenuous exercise, some wounds that have finally healed will open again, just like the mouth of a newborn baby that has grown.
This is the final battle.
No matter what the military morale was before, no matter how much turbulent malice there was beneath the calm, at this moment Gao Shun, Chen Erlang, Ma Changsheng, etc. all had the same thought. At least at the moment before the war started, everyone had the same thought.
They hold the same idea that they must defeat Cha Shi Houguo.
Therefore, at the first opportunity, they coordinated with each other and carried out the most violent attack on the stone wall outside Wutu Valley. They even fought up to it, but were soon forced back.
In response to the attack by Gao Shun and others, Cha Shi Houguo also showed unprecedented tenacity. Boiling water, fireballs, stones, arrows, and hammering wood caused huge casualties to Gao Shun's soldiers in the first place. Several military schools
He rushes forward with a shield, but is quickly attacked from all sides. Even if a person has great martial arts skills and is very brave, he often cannot hold out for a few rounds in such situations. If he doesn't want to die, he has to retreat again...
The number of injuries in the rear camp gradually began to increase.
The doctor and several apprentices were busy with their hands and feet.
The wounded soldiers were either sitting or lying down, wailing or moaning. Ma Changsheng was half covered in blood and was being bandaged by the doctor. He didn't know whether it was because of pain or anger. Even though his wound was bleeding, he still cried out from time to time.
Swear a few words.
Ma Changsheng belongs to the first wave of offensive.
The stone wall, which is less than two feet tall, does not seem to be particularly difficult for the Han army who is accustomed to facing higher passes. Even without a ladder, it is possible for a person to climb up, but after he rushes up,
Before he could start the killing, he was attacked by more than a dozen arrows and crossbows. He was hit by two arrows. He was lucky, but the soldiers around him were not so lucky. They waited until the third round.
When the arrows whizzed towards him, Ma Changsheng could no longer stop him and was forced to retreat from the stone wall. He almost sprained his foot and could only come back to treat the injury in frustration.
Gao Shun withdrew his gaze from the wounded soldiers in the rear camp.
What makes Gao Shun feel a little upset is not the current chaotic battle situation. If nothing else happens, no matter how brave the people of Che Shihou are, the stone wall is so high and there are so many soldiers. If this continues, the stone wall will
The collapse of the wall can also be expected.駧
That's right, no surprises.
In fact, we shouldn’t attack by force at this time...
Gao Shun also knew this in his heart.
The people of the country behind Che Shi strengthened the walls and cleared the country, in order to put Gao Shun and others into the current situation.
If Lu Bu faced such a situation, maybe Lu Bu would laugh, then move forward without reservation, move forward, continue to move forward...
If it were Zhang Liao, maybe Zhang Liao would sneer twice, then send different troops, disperse everywhere, and then find the weakest link to attack...
But he is not Lu Bu, nor is he Zhang Liao.
He was just Gao Shun, a Gao Shun who was framed and confined to Wutu Valley.
Suddenly, Gao Shun couldn't help but have another idea pop up in his mind. What would happen if a hussar was riding here?
If it were a hussar...
Gao Shun couldn't help but look up. Above his head, there were not only the general's flag, the Han flag, but also the tricolor flag representing the hussar.
And if the hussars are really going to war, then it will be a huge three-color banner, and under that banner, there are brave warriors, warriors who are not afraid of life and death.
Gao Shun had seen those soldiers and the way those soldiers looked at Hussar. They trusted Hussar so much, and they were so willing to fight and die for Hussar. Because they knew that they were going to die for Hussar, and Hussar
He will take good care of their funerals, attend their funerals, and his rewards will be in the hands of his family members.
No matter where they were from.
People from Bingzhou, Liangzhou, even Luoyang, Jingzhou, these people once fell into despair. After experiencing repeated defeats and escapes, these people once did not look like a human being. Their bodies and their lives were left to their own devices.
Officials, gentry, local squires, rural bandits, etc. were at their mercy and humiliated at will. No one thought highly of them or cared about them.
Except for the hussars.
Hussar's reputation and benevolence, and the stories he once did, are spread among the soldiers. He is really a benevolent and righteous man. It is great to fight under his command.
This is not only Gao Shun's emotion, but also recognized by most people.
Whenever a large-scale war ends, the Hussars will personally go to pay homage to the soldiers who died in the battle. They will place three animals, pour wine, and light incense.
Gao Shun once saw Qiao Qi sitting in the Hall of Heroes, crying silently. At that time, Gao Shun deliberately turned his head away from looking, because Gao Shun was afraid that he would also shed tears.
It turns out that there are really generals who care about the casualties of their soldiers?
Instead of drinking and celebrating victory?
Gao Shun couldn't help but smile when he thought about this moment.
If I die, will anyone care?
Will anyone pay homage to me?
For some reason, Gao Shun suddenly thought of his own hometown.
Gao Shun can no longer remember what his hometown is like. The only thing he can remember is the feeling of stability and calm...
The feeling of home.駧
"Get the heavy armor." Gao Shun lowered his head, no longer looking at the tricolor flag, and said in a deep voice.
"General, your wounds are still...and general, your waist..." the guard hesitated.
Gao Shun's waist was also injured. Although it is not fatal, the waist is the central hub of a person, and many activities must be driven by the waist. Once the injury to the waist worsens, many movements cannot be performed at all, let alone in the battle formation.
Killed the enemy.
Gao Shun was silent for a moment, "Bring me a spear. An ordinary spear."
The guard didn't know why, but he did as he was told.
Gao Shun took the spear, unloaded the head first, then took out his sword, chopped the wooden pole of the ordinary spear into several sections, then wrapped it with cloth and tied it around his waist. These wooden poles restricted his waist.
range of motion, but also prevents him from causing waist injuries due to excessive movements...
Sometimes, the muscle stress response under severe pain is often more deadly than the enemy's sword and gun.
"Heavy armor." Gao Shun patted the wooden pole, "It's not in the way. Go give the order and prepare to attack!"
The guard gritted his teeth and lowered his head in agreement.
After a while, the flying flag representing the trapped camp was raised high and pointed forward.
Gao Shun stood in front of the formation and looked back at the trapped soldiers brought out by his own men.
There are some faces that he will never see again.
The entire queue has also been reduced a lot.
But in the eyes of these people, they are still full of trust in him. In the eyes of these people, they are still full of courage without fear of life and death.
Just like the warriors under the hussar banner...
Gao Shun nodded slightly, then closed his mask, and a dull voice sounded from behind the mask.
"The ambition to be trapped!"
Everyone echoed.
"I am invincible!"
Gao Shun waved his hand forward.
Everyone followed in silence.
Although the stone wall in Wutu Valley is not wide, it is connected to the mountain wall at both ends, blocking the progress of Gao Shun and others. There is no way to make a detour and can only break through head-on.
The wind blew through Wutu Valley, seeming to bring out some whimpering sounds.
When the sun shines, the ignited flames rise up, and it seems that the air in the entire Wutu Valley stone wall is shaking.
Gao Shun and his men stopped, and mixed in with the previous soldiers. He was wearing a rag robe as an outer layer of thick armor. Most of the soldiers who followed Gao Shun in the camp also criticized this cloth robe, and no cloth was found.
Those wearing robes simply covered their armor with a layer of tattered blankets, trying their best to hide the thick armor on their bodies that was completely different from the surrounding soldiers.
The heavy armor would not be a burden on ordinary days, and it would even be as natural as taking a breath. However, Gao Shun was injured, which made him feel pain every step he took.
After facing two waves of attacks by the Han army, the people of Che Shi Hou Guo were not unscathed. They also suffered many casualties. They did not even have a decisive advantage just because they were the defenders. This made these Che Shi Hou Guo
When people are on defense, their energy is somewhat diminished.
Gao Shun was mixed in the queue and easily got under the stone wall. He did not withstand too many attacks and focused attention. So when Gao Shun suddenly launched an attack, the people from Che Shi Hou Kingdom discovered this.
A small group of Han soldiers is unusual.
By the time the soldiers on the stone wall, who were clearly very tired, were hurriedly yelling, or reaching for their long weapons to push the ladder, it was already too late.
After killing several soldiers of the Imperial Army behind the chariot division who were blocking the front, Gao rushed up to the stone wall and stepped hard on the chest of another soldier of the Imperial Guard behind the chariot division who had no time to dodge. He heard a burst of
The sound of cracking bones crushed him to death.
Before the blood spurted out by this unlucky chariot soldier, the spear in Gao Shun's hand began to circle and fly, and blood flowers suddenly appeared.
To attack a fortress, to meet is to decide between life and death.
Live standing and die lying down.
All kinds of sharp blades were waving, under his eyes and on his body.
Although the enemy soldiers who were the first to reach the stone wall were wearing heavy armor, it did not mean that they were completely immune to damage from swords and guns. Because of the huge disparity in numbers, each enemy soldier had to face several chariots and soldiers.
If a soldier is not careful, he will be slashed and stabbed. Although armor can save some damage, the impact of swords and guns cannot be reduced just because of armor.
Some soldiers who were trapped in the battle were not even stabbed through their armor by spears, but were stabbed by three or four soldiers from the back country with spears, causing them to lose their center of gravity and fall directly from the stone wall!
The heavy armor became a deadly weapon at this time. Even if the fallen soldiers did not vomit blood due to the fall, they would often have their hands and feet broken, making it difficult to fight again.
Because of the difference in the strength of the troops on the stone wall, the Han army under the stone wall tried their best to cover and shoot at the top of the stone wall, but they could not completely contain the soldiers of Cheshi Houguo. Gao Shun and others did not gain much advantage.
However, as the battle lengthened, the value of the heavy armor's immunity finally showed itself.
The swords and guns collided and hit each other rapidly, sparks flashing out.
A soldier from the Hou Kingdom of Che Division let out a sharp howl, and stabbed the enemy soldier on the opposite side with the spear in his hand. The enemy soldier was restricted to a relatively small area and could not escape, so he was stabbed as well.
Chest and abdomen, a wound for a life, one man stands, another falls.
The soldiers behind the chariot division fell one by one, and the trapped soldiers also began to be wounded and began to bleed. Their bodies were stained with blood, either from others or their own.
A slightly tired soldier had just defeated the opponent in front of him. Before the soldier could take a breath, two or three more chariot soldiers rushed forward, with swords and guns coming down, and they were about to kill him before his eyes.
The trapped soldier hacked and killed him on the spot.
At this moment, Gao Shun arrived.
To be precise, Gao Shun's spear arrived first.
Spears were flying, some were missing arms and legs, and some were killed on the spot.
In just a few short breaths, several soldiers from the Che Division and the Hou Kingdom who rushed towards the trapped soldier fell to the ground, expanding into a bloody bloom, a stage of flesh and bones.
The wounded man was writhing on the ground and wailing, but Gao Shun did not take a second glance. He glanced slightly at the trapped soldier behind him, and seeing that he could still hold his weapon, he nodded slightly and went straight forward.
At this time, destroying the enemy soldiers is the second priority. We must first destroy the array of people behind the Che Division at the stone wall, so that the people behind the Che Division cannot unite and form an effective defense. The soldiers trapped in the camp also climbed up the stone wall one after another.
, following Gao Shun, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, rushing left and right, as if entering an uninhabited land.
One after another, more trapped soldiers climbed up and occupied a section of the stone wall.
"General!" Gao Shun's bodyguard also came up and stood beside Gao Shun.
Gao Shun complied, and then took a moment to glance at the other side of the stone wall. He found that on the other side of the stone wall, there seemed to be a Chinese driver wearing some gorgeous clothes, pointing at Gao Shun's place and shouting loudly.
What are you wearing?
Gao Bian stood still, measured the distance a little, then reached out and took off the long bow from the guard beside him, then pulled out the arrow, opened the bow and shot!
The pain in my waist is like a knife or a small saw, cutting and pulling all the time.
Gao Shun endured it and remained silent.
Just like his most common state.駧
Replace words with actions.
Arrows roared, and the leader of the Cheshi Houguo who was shouting sideways was shot in the neck by Gao Shun with an arrow. A huge blood flower burst out, and he fell to the sky, which immediately caused chaos among the soldiers of the Cheshihouguo around him...
…
Gao Shun did not shoot the ordinary Cheshi Houguo soldiers, but searched for other Cheshihouguo soldiers nearby who were similar to the boss. After he shot four people one after another, there were no more Cheshi Houguo soldiers nearby.
The master is a Chinese.
Either they are all dead, or they are all hiding...
After losing the commander at the grassroots level, the soldiers of the neighboring Che Division were almost in an inexplicable panic. They didn't know which way they should go, and they didn't know whether they should go forward or backward. Everyone was frightened.
At a loss what to do.
Unconsciously, close to thirty or forty soldiers gathered around Gao Shun. Gao Shun ordered the soldiers to advance along the stone wall to attack the winch of the city gate, while trying to overcome himself.
Pain caused by the injury, he continued to look for the commander of Cheshi Houguo who was within range.
If we can kill the commander of the front line of the chariot army and the rear country in one fell swoop, that would naturally be the most ideal result.
But it is a pity that the leaders of Che Shihou Kingdom have learned well...
Those who fail to learn well will of course die and there is no need to learn.
Gao Shun glanced around and couldn't find it.
Gao Shun put down his bow and arrow and returned it to the guard beside him.
When the guard put his bow back on his back, Gao Shun habitually glanced behind him behind his own position.
And this look almost made Gao Shun scream loudly!
In the outer reaches of Wutu Valley, that is, in the sky behind the Gaoshun array, there seems to be a thin stream of smoke rising!
