The officers and soldiers cheered in unison, and the speed in their hands became faster and faster. Xu Zizhen still stood at the highest point of the pass, looking coldly into the distance in the darkness, exuding an awe-inspiring and inviolable power.
Suddenly, the rain of stone balls and arrows in the Xixia army stopped. Without any warning, Xu Zizhen woke up immediately, took a torch from the side and threw it far away. The torch drew a gorgeous arc and flew down outside the pass. Under the flash of fire.
The moment it passed, he clearly saw densely packed Xixia infantry rushing towards them carrying ladders and holding shields.
Xu Zizhen suddenly took a breath of air, turned around and shouted: "Bu Bazi is here, use the knife, get ready!"
Now he finally understood that the Xixia army's stormy long-range attack was just to cover Bubazi's attack. The night was deep and the cavalry obviously couldn't take advantage of it. This was the same regardless of Xia and Song Dynasties. Bubazi was good at it.
Being able to cross mountains and ridges, it is perfect to use them to seize the pass, and the Song army cannot send out cavalry to drive them away.
Bu Bazi's speed was extremely fast. As soon as Xu Zizhen finished speaking, there were already dozens of ladders erected on the city wall, and many of them climbed up in the blink of an eye.
Xu Zizhen threw the big ax back to Xin Chou, drew out his Tang Dao and flew towards him. Xia Jun who came up from his direction obviously recognized him, and no one knew who made a shout. Immediately more than a dozen people came to him.
The one who had just climbed over the wall rushed over.
The soldiers who closed the gate immediately came to their senses and shouted to greet the Xia army. They all knew that once they took advantage and opened the gate, a large number of Xia troops would pour in and the pass would be broken.
At this moment, both Song Jun and Xia Jun had raised their fighting spirit to the limit. Everyone completely forgot about fear and pain, and just gritted their teeth and fought hard.
The soldiers of the Song Dynasty could not afford to lose, because behind them were hundreds of thousands of people in Lanzhou City, and even the northwest corner of the territory of the Song Dynasty. Once this gap was opened, the war would extend to their families and compatriots, so at this moment they
Having put life and death aside, the only action is to kill! Kill! Kill!
When Jincheng was closed, flames were everywhere, and the sound of killings was loud. At this moment, this place was like Shura Hell. There was only killing. Broken limbs and broken arms could be seen everywhere. The ground, walls, and crenellations were full of soldiers who died in battle, including Song and Xia troops.
, the northwest wind was blowing violently, but there was still a strong smell of blood in the air.
Xu Zizhen glared angrily and swung his sword to kill fiercely. His whole body was stained with blood, and he looked bloody, like a god of death. The Xia army who tried to use the human sea tactic to besiege him did not know how many Xia troops he cut down, and Xu Zizhen
As a result, many new injuries were added to his body.
While he was slashing with his sword, he did not forget to take a moment to look back. Wen Chengyan and several women were standing in the corner of the gate. Shui Liuli was holding a long sword to protect them. Further ahead was Meng Du, who was commanding the scene.
Meng Du was surrounded by a circle of archers and swordsmen, desperately resisting the fierce Bubazi who were rushing over.
Xu Zizhen breathed a sigh of relief. Shui Liuli was very skilled. Although he had just lost his virginity and was not suitable for fighting, it was more than enough to save this corner. He turned his eyes to look for Li Meng, but he didn't see him after scanning around.
, I was just startled when I found him beside the suspension bridge axis at the pass in the distance.
Li Meng's body was covered with strips of cloth from bandaging his wounds. He didn't wear any clothes, so he was riding on a horse with his upper body naked. The spear in his hand was flying like a butterfly. He was surrounded by a dense circle of foot soldiers. He opened his eyes wide and shouted angrily.
Continuously, every time he shouted, someone was stabbed to death by him.
Poor those Xia soldiers who were bullying his youth and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to lower the suspension bridge, but they didn't expect that this young man was so brave that no one could get past him.
Xu Zizhen was very worried that something would happen to him, but the Bubazi kept coming around him, making him completely unable to escape to help Li Meng. His goal was too obvious. Killing Brother Bolu a few days ago made him become Song Dynasty.
The idol in the hearts of the soldiers also became the primary enemy in Xia Jun's heart.
Bubazi climbed the wall and passed the pass very fast. He climbed up from the pass one after another, and attacked the pass one after another without fear of death. Although the number of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty was small, they all gritted their teeth and held on to close the place.
It's not big, and there's only enough space for so many people to stay there. The stone stairs leading up and down the stairs are already full of people. Once someone dies in battle, someone will immediately rush up to support him.
In this way, the two sides launched a cruel battle to defend the gate at this juncture of Jincheng. The screams of killing could not be heard without end. Neither side flinched in this battle, and the battle lasted from the evening of that day to the early morning of the next day.
The sky gradually became brighter, but the clouds were still extremely thick, and the sun could not be seen. The fighting at Guan Guan also became much weaker with the sharp decrease in the number of people on both sides. The Xixia army in the distance outside the Guan Guan finally revealed its face.
Xu Zizhen's eyes were red, and there was no clean spot on his face and body. His eyes were bloodshot, his lips were chapped, and his hands were trembling slightly. The night of fighting had almost exhausted all his energy, but he could only grit his teeth and hold on.
The gate was piled with corpses, both from the Song Army and from the Xia Army. Meng Du and Wen Chengyan looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Jincheng Pass is about to be lost!
At this moment, Xu Zizhen suddenly noticed that the Xixia army in the distance was showing signs of retreat. He was stunned when he heard someone shouting: "The Deshun Army is coming to help! The Deshun Army is coming to help!"
This was the sentry responsible for the lookout at this critical moment. His voice was hoarse, but his surprise could be heard. Xu Zizhen was stunned and overjoyed. The reinforcements had arrived at the right time!
There is a plain outside Jincheng Pass, but there are two exits. The direction Deshun Army came from is exactly one of the openings. If the Xixia Army did not prepare early, it would definitely be a dumpling. Even if it can remain undefeated with its large number of people, it will not be defeated.
They would suffer heavy losses, but it was obvious that they were unwilling to make such sacrifices at this time, so the army general decided to retreat decisively.
The sound of gold ringing sounded in the distance, and the Bubazi who were at the critical moment immediately rushed to the next moment. After a night of fierce fighting, they had already lost their fighting spirit. They only regretted that they did not have two more legs. After leaving dozens more corpses, they finally withdrew.
A clean one.
Seeing that it was finally safe, Xu Zizhen felt his whole body sore and weak, almost collapsing to the ground. He subconsciously raised his head and looked in the direction of Li Meng, and suddenly his whole body was shocked like thunder.
Li Meng was still sitting upright on his horse, surrounded by corpses, but his face was as pale as paper, and his body was shaky, as if he might fall at any time. He held the gun in his right hand, and pressed his abdomen tightly with his left hand.
There was a long gash from his left rib to his lower abdomen, and blood fell from his fingers to the ground drop by drop, dyeing the ground a large dark red.
"Xiao Meng!" Xu Zizhen, his eyes about to burst, roared and flew towards him.
Li Meng turned around and grinned at him, then suddenly he fell off his horse.
