Chapter 348: The Bloody Battle at the Pass
Shen Yaozu commanded the bandits in the pass back and forth to extinguish the fires that ignited from time to time, and at the same time to guard against the cold raids of the officers and soldiers on the front, he somewhat understood that this was the intention of the officers and soldiers.
But the fire can not be saved, although the snow is covered, but the grass is knee-high, in case it spreads up will also cause a catastrophe, although the pine and cypress are difficult to catch fire, but once the fire, under the help of the oil is not extinguished, there is no water to rescue here, can only each person hold a branch on the fire to beat, you say that if the tree is burned into a torch, what else can you do with it?
"You, go up there and take a look, why haven't these deflated calves come down for reinforcements, do you want to watch Lao Tzu die of exhaustion here?" Shen Yaozu shouted at the little minions beside him.
The little minion hurriedly turned his butt and ran up the mountain, and after running a few steps, he suddenly shouted: "Big boss, the reinforcements are coming, isn't that Chang Da and the big old king?" ”
Shen Yaozu turned his head to look, his heart was happy, Chang Da and the eldest king had already come to the front while speaking, Shen Yaozu looked at the wounds on the faces of the two of them that were scratched by thorns and oozing blood beads, and said, "Why do you look like this?" Did it roll down the hillside? ”
Chang Da didn't dare to make a sound, and Shen Yaozu didn't have time to ask in detail, so he waved his hand and said: "Chang Da on the left, Lao Wang on the right, help extinguish the fire, I see that the rockets of the officers and soldiers are running out, and they will not be able to jump up soon." ”
Chang Da and the eldest king didn't move, as if they wanted to say something and stopped, Shen Yaozu shouted: "Go quickly, what are you rubbing?" ”
"That...... The big master, the second master......" Chang Da plucked up the courage to say.
"Don't mention this turtle grandson, I don't know where to hide here, after the matter is finished here, I will open a fragrant hall to announce in public the removal of his position as the second master, and hang his armor outside the cottage tonight." Shen Yaozu said viciously.
"It's not...... The ...... of the second master"
"What are you doing? Have you farted quickly, don't you see the burning eyebrows here? ”
Chang Dayi gritted his teeth and said in one breath: "The second boss is reversed, Diao Mazi is dead, the three checkpoints are lost, the locked officials have run away, the big boss, let's finish!" ”
Shen Yaozu's arms that were waving and dispatching suddenly froze in the air, tilted his head, and approached Chang Da's face and said, "What did you say?" This isn't the time for jokes, and if you're talking nonsense, don't blame me for ignoring brotherhood. ”
Chang Da Putong knelt down on the ground and said: "The big boss, it's all true, Qiu Dabao's dog thief released the bird envoy who came up from the mountain, and then somehow controlled the cottage, and also recruited many of us, and then pretended to pass on your orders, tricked us out of the checkpoints, and as a result, all our three checkpoints were occupied." ”
Shen Yaozu staggered, his face turned from red to white, from white to blue, and suddenly a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and the pasty Chang Da and the big old king were full of faces.
"Big boss, take care of your body, don't be overly sad, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood." Chang Da hurriedly stepped forward to support Shen Yaozu, who was about to fall.
Shen Yaozu took a few quick breaths, restrained the tumbling qi and blood pressure in his heart, pushed Chang Da away, and said quietly: "The whole team, recapture the checkpoint, give up the pass, if I don't break Qiu Dabao's body into ten thousand pieces today, I will be in vain." ”
Chang Da hurriedly said: "Big boss, Qiu Dabao has been shot to death by our random arrows, this level is ...... I'm afraid I can't attack it, you know, most of the coachmen who grabbed the grain last time were digging rolling stones at the first level, and we attacked twice just now, and nearly 100 brothers were killed by rolling stones. ”
Shen Yaozu completely understood, all this was planned and premeditated, and now the retreat behind him was cut off, and then he was afraid that the officers and soldiers would attack in a big way, this was a dumpling making plan that was sandwiched back and forth, but he was still in the dark, and he was fooled by the little official and Qiu Dabao.
It's good to have a solid cottage, but it's easy to break through any strong fortress from within. Now the natural danger he was proud of has become a giant tong that chokes his throat, which is really deceiving.
After all, Shen Yaozu was the leader of the bandits who had experienced a big battle, and he quickly calmed down, he quickly analyzed the situation at the moment, weighed the pros and cons, and immediately made a decision.
"You're right, stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood, it's really unwise to go back to the card, for today's plan is to give up the cottage, rush out of the pass, and find another place to live and live, fortunately, we still have five hundred brothers on hand, fortunately, the officers and soldiers don't know the situation on the mountain, hurry up and gather the whole team, let's kill out, there are many peaks in the deep mountains, and everywhere can become our new cottage."
Chang Da and Da Lao Wang were in good spirits, and ordered someone to ring the gong and start the whole team to prepare for the charge.
The fire on the hillside reflected the red light all over the mountainside, illuminating the snow-covered canopy with a pink light, Shen Yaozu knew that it was the traitors on the mountainside who were sending a signal to the mountainside, time was not waiting, there was no longer any wait, the officers and soldiers would flood the pass anytime and anywhere, and then follow these slowly assembled troops, I was afraid that they would be dragged to death.
Shen Yaozu shouted: "Chang Da and Lao Wang, you two will each take a hundred people to break off, once the officers and soldiers catch up, you have to drag them, and the rest of the people will follow Lao Tzu out of the pass and out of this mountain, and there is a sea and sky outside." ”
Chang Da and the eldest old king's faces were like earth, knowing that Shen Yaozu had taken them as outcasts, but at this moment, they couldn't think about it, only by desperately rushing out of the pass could they have a way to live.
Shen Yaozu pulled out his sword and pointed at the void, shouting, "Rush!" ”
The bandits followed him like ants and rushed out of the pass, and the bandits on the mountain beams on both sides also jumped off the mountain beams, following the large group of bandits like a turbid current along the passage in the middle of the mountain beams.
The gate of the pass has long been burned down, and the black rumbling outside is like the mouth of a huge beast, and no one knows what is there, but no one has time to think about it, and everyone regards this huge mouth as the road to heaven, as if outside the pass is the other side of the bright, warm and happy full of all the joys of the world.
However, the serpent-like feathered arrows that burst out on the other side with a vicious scream completely awakened their sweet dreams, and were replaced by a waking nightmare, hundreds of feathered arrows fired three times in succession, shooting a large group of bandits who rushed forward into sea urchins.
The bandits shouted loudly, and some people saw Shen Yaozu's tall body fall under the rain of arrows, and immediately shouted and retreated in panic; At the same time, the figure of Pan Jiang at the pass rushed towards the pass with more than a thousand Yangzhou soldiers behind him, panting like hungry wolves.
"Kill me! To retreat is to die, and only by rushing past can you live. Shen Yaozu miraculously got up from the pile of dead people, swung his sword to cut off the part of his body that was exposed by a feather arrow on his shoulder, and howled loudly in a hoarse voice.
The ferocity of the bandits was stimulated, Shen Yaozu's resurrection gave them the courage to fight, hundreds of bandits rushed violently, the two streams of people were like two groups of galloping wild horses colliding together, in an instant, the sword light and sword shadow, flesh and blood flew sideways, and the narrow area of dozens of steps wide on the junction surface became a meat grinder, once you came into contact with this range, no matter who you were, you would be cut into a human shape.
After entering hand-to-hand combat, all the people became a machine that could only swing their swords and slash at the people who were still standing next to them.
Pan Jiang stomped his feet in the crowd and scolded: "Idiot, is there such a war? You don't need to teach you a four-person formation of bows, shields, guns and knives on weekdays, stupid, stupid to home. ”
No one took his words seriously, and his words could only be ignored in this situation like the last cry of a dying man, and people just swarmed with knives and slashed at each other, and who cared about the affairs of the battle formation.
The number of casualties on both sides has risen explosively, and in the half-column incense time after the fight, thirty or forty people on each side have died in Huangquan, and the armor of the box soldiers has played a little role, but the box soldiers are actually labor soldiers, saying that it is the armor does raise them a little, on average, every three people can get together a set of helmet armor and skirt armor, it can only be said that they seem to have more protection than the other party, but these play a very little role in this kind of hand-to-hand combat.
Shen Yaozu climbed to the side of the mountain beam, his eyes lit up, shining with excitement, his mouth kept shouting, and his hoarse voice desperately encouraged the bandits around him to rush forward, the scene in front of him made him almost vomit blood again with excitement, just like a bloodthirsty beast seeing an injured prey, he even enjoyed the pleasure of commanding his subordinates to fight head-on, this is just like what he has hoped for countless times in his dreams, he has incarnated as a mighty and dashing general, pointing with a long sword in his hand, and the sons and daughters are fighting bravely like a tide, and then returning triumphantly, Thousands of people.
Shen Yaozu fell into an inextricable frenzy, and suddenly, his enthusiasm was poured with a scoop of cold water, and it was cold to the bottom of his heart; Because he saw behind the mountain pass, a large number of black and oppressive figures were rushing towards the back of the bandits.
Shen Yaozu, who had excellent eyesight, recognized the slightly thin figure at the front of the team at a glance, that person with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, holding a shining Pu knife, that person was the great enemy who destroyed his cottage - Su Jin.
