Chapter 4 The Sword Sees the Flesh

year.

It's a year in the blink of an eye.

It was a year of blood, tears, pain, and inspiration!

In the past year, the soldiers have changed countless tactics, whether it is a large-scale siege war or a war of harassment by flowing troops, they cannot take much advantage. On the other hand, the internal turmoil in the Ming Dynasty is chaotic, the people are constantly changing, due to the closure of the border, the rampant filthy officials in the court, and the eunuchs blocking the government, not to mention what rescue soldiers are assigned, I am afraid that the emperor has no way of knowing that there is such a thing.

However, the army and the people are willing to live and die with Lord Cheng and the city, and everyone has long stopped caring about this.

For those who die for their confidants, for them, in these troubled times, they can follow and live and die with people like Master Cheng, and they have no regrets!

Chang Sihao was able to eat enough, and he was at the peak of his youth, and he was big and long in a year, and now his back is thick and his shoulders are broad, his muscles are bulging, and he has the shadow of a man.

"The city is broken!"

Such a short three words!

Chang Sihao was startled when he heard the sound in his sleep, and found that the flames around him were burning and the waves were blazing. In the firelight, the remnant flags were swaying, the shadows were chaotic, and the people were shouting and neighing, howling and shouting, and they were all together.

At this time, it is almost dawn, and it is the time when the human body is most tired, and the enemy army takes advantage of this best opportunity to attack!

Chang Sihao panicked for a while, at a loss, looking for the old army, all of them were gone, he was hesitating, only to hear someone shouting in the firelight himself, follow the reputation, it was Xu Laojun, Chang Sihao ran to him in a few steps, Xu Laojun handed over a waist knife, and said: "Xiaohao, the thieves dug the ground and attacked secretly, the treacherous plan succeeded, the city was broken, and the people died, let's fight with him!"

Every time the soldiers break the city, they will inevitably slaughter the young and strong, humiliate the women, abuse the children, and often Sihao has lived in the border city for a long time, how can he not know this?

Xu Laojun looked at his eyes that were shining with fire and hatred, a trace of indescribable feelings flew through his eyes, and he turned his head and shouted, "You take care of yourself!"

Chang Sihao was stunned when he heard it, and he didn't know if the last sentence was said to himself. I didn't have time to think about it, so I rushed out with a knife.

When he was carrying the knife forward, he suddenly stabbed a horse mark, immediately a soldier, holding a spear in his hand, looking back and shouting to his companions, very proud, looking down and suddenly finding a teenager in his teens carrying a steel knife, like wanting to kill, immediately laughed, and shouted at him, I don't know what to shout.

Chang Sihao expected him to mock himself, his anger was furious, he made a rush, the blade in his hand was pointing upwards and his back downwards, and the tip of the knife slid along the edge of the saddle, and with a thud to the ground, blood and light appeared, and he actually cut off one of the left legs of the soldier! The soldier sat on his horse and looked directly at the tip of Chang Sihao's knife, unable to believe that this was true, and then looked down at the blood spraying wildly under his crotch, and then let out a miserable cry and fell off the horse.

Chang Sihao wiped a handful of hot blood splashed on his face, only to feel the pungent smell of fish, and a trace of inexplicable pleasure. He swept the knife in his hand, and most of his horror was gone, thinking that it seemed that it was easier to kill than to remove meat, it would take a hundred or dozens of knives to remove a corpse, and to kill, it would only take one knife!

Suddenly heard the roar again and again, it turned out that the soldiers and companions saw that something was going on in this room, and they hurriedly greeted and shouted, and the four horses flew like flying, and the wind swept to, and the three spears and one knife Taishan pressed the top as usual Sihao as a hood!

Chang Sihao saw that the enemy was menacing, his heart was terrified, and he remembered the truth that the saying shoots people first and shoots horses, so he immediately lowered his figure, cut the horse's legs with a knife, only to hear the clattering sound, seven or eight horse legs were broken in response, and those soldiers fell to the ground with the horse's "plop tom", and the neighing sound of the war horse was even more tearful!

Before the rider could get up, he was already picked by Chang Sihao's knife and cut his throat. One by one, they clenched their throats, their eyes split, and they didn't believe that a child could have such a murderous method!

In an instant, five people were killed in a row, Chang Sihao's murderous intent rose, and his confidence increased!

Looking around, there were many shadows of fire, the sound of the wind was long, and the sound of blades entering flesh, bones shattering, and screams was endless. However, as he listened, he suddenly felt a silence in his ears, looking at the people who were fighting on this battlefield, they all seemed to be twisted and deformed moving corpses, waiting for slaughter, waiting for the knife in his hand!

Chang Sihao roared lowly, and the tragic gull threw himself into the crowd!

The East is white!

The dawn is coming! The darkness of dawn instantly dissipated, and the light in the sky made people forget the darkness for a while!

The bloody battle continues!

At the head of the city, there is a bloody man, fighting and commanding at the same time, the dragon hisses and the tiger roars, killing is majestic! Long knives are everywhere, and blood mist is flying!

- Who is not Cheng Yunfeng?

Seeing that Master Cheng was still there, the soldiers and civilians of the dead battle were greatly invigorated, and gradually organized and retracted, and the troops who entered the city were intercepted for several sections, and there was a tendency to slowly force them back and kill them!

Outside the city –

The smoke and dust are billowing out, and the soldiers are backed up to kill! The face of the handsome man is sinking like water, looking at the battle at the head of the city from afar. After a long time, Yu immediately waved his hand calmly and ordered to recall the general who was responsible for the siege this morning.

After a while, the whirlwind arrived like a fly, immediately dropped the saddle from the horse, and fell to one knee on the ground.

He was covered in blood, his armor was covered with dust, and he was obviously the first soldier, after a bloody battle!

The big handsome didn't look at it, waved his hand, the knife and axe hand bullied up, clicked, cut off the head, and two more people, picked up the head with a big banner, galloped on horseback, and paraded to the public.

The marshal's lips moved lightly, he didn't know what to say, and with a wave of the commanding flag, the left army immediately divided a team of strong crossbowmen, about 500 people, according to the direction pointed by the ordering flag, and went straight to the city.

"Knock knock ......"

"Woo-woo-woo-"

The horn was long, the war drums sounded, the crossbowman leader gave an order, and ten thousand crossbows fired in unison, like continuous autumn rain, shooting straight towards Cheng Yunfeng alone!

It is the lore of the thief and the king!

Cheng Yunfeng's long knife swung rapidly, sweeping and folding countless arrows, but the crossbow was dense, unguardable, fluttering sound, his shoulders and chests, and he was instantly hit by six crossbows! He snorted, leaned to his side, and the knife was stuck into the ground.

However, the crossbow did not stop, and it rained again!

"Protect your lordship!"

Several pro-soldiers on his side shouted and shouted, using their bodies as shields to build a Great Wall of flesh and blood to protect Cheng Yunfeng!

Cheng Yunfeng roared: "No!" suddenly was sprayed by the bloody blood rain!

- Those pro-soldiers have already been shot by a strong crossbow on their chests, abdomen, waist and back!

"Your Excellency...... Let's go......" One of the soldiers turned around and shouted, and before he finished speaking, two crossbow arrows had pierced through the back of his head and came out between his tongue!

"No-I'm not leaving——! Cheng Yunfeng yelled, but he only felt that his eyes were black, his shoulders were wooden, and he groaned: "Everyone be careful, the arrows are poisonous!"

When all the soldiers heard this, they all shed tears on their chests and were full of emotion!

"My lord, stay in the green mountains, my lord!"

"Protect your lordship from the city!" everyone shouted in unison, hugged Cheng Yunfeng, and dragged Cheng Yunfeng down the city.

The guards were broken, and several people were shot dead in an instant, they held each other's shoulders and arms, their feet took root, and they formed a fence, their eyes were round, although they were dead, they could not fall!

Cheng Yunfeng only felt that the arrow poison was spreading, and he was weak, so he let the soldiers drag him and flee to the east gate.

Seeing that the leader of the Han people was shot down, the morale of the soldiers outside the city was greatly boosted, and the ladders on both sides were set up to throw the lasso to climb the city, and the cavalry assault and defense were in the middle, everyone was brave and the momentum was like a rainbow.

Losing the command of the city, the soldiers and the people were in chaos in no time, the enemy cavalry rushed through the city gate, and all the garrison forces were immediately invisible under the iron hoof!

The soldiers lost the advantage of geographical advantage and city defense, and the enemy was outnumbered.

Suddenly, a group of enemy cavalry broke through the blockade, looked around, and saw Cheng Yunfeng and one hundred and ten personal guards heading east, and immediately waved their horses to chase after them!

Cheng Yunfeng's personal guards saw it from afar, and immediately divided their troops into two teams, after one team was broken, the other team still escorted Cheng Yunfeng to retreat!

The cavalry was extremely fast, rushed to the front in a blink of an eye, and the leader of the cavalry shouted loudly, tightened the reins suddenly, dismounted the horse with a long neigh, and the person stood up, a pair of iron hooves stepped in a row, hitting the front chest of the two broken guards, the two screamed miserably, the ribs were cracked, and Bai Sensen's bone stubble was out of the chest, and he was killed immediately!

The leader laughed on his horse, and the cavalry behind him followed suit, instantly stomping to death and injuring several people, which was extremely rampant.

Cheng Yunfeng had retreated to the vicinity of the east gate, and when he saw the tragic death of the soldiers from a distance, he was anxious and painful, and he spit out a mouthful of black blood, and his expression immediately shriveled a lot. At this moment, suddenly saw the enemy horse team behind the mutation protrusion, more than a dozen male horses suddenly fell to the ground, the miserable scream is not stopped, it turned out that someone took advantage of the horse team to be blocked by the soldiers, sneak attack from behind, cut the horse's legs, that person is flexible, the knife is extremely fast, in the blink of an eye the enemy war horse has been cut down six or seven out of ten!

Cheng Yunfeng changed color and said: "There are such warriors in the army, I don't know, it's really vain to boast that he knows people and makes good use of them!"

The man cut down several horses, was already discovered, a cavalry back to the horse and stabbed with a spear, the man flashed, stepped on the body of the horse that had been cut down, jumped up, slashed in the air, drew a half-moon-shaped white light out of thin air, and slammed the ground, cutting off the head of the lancer, and the blood line flew obliquely. The man kicked him off with one leg and landed firmly in the saddle. The two enemies next to him were stunned, and suddenly saw the sword flashing, the wrist was slightly cool, and the four hands and the clenched spear flew into the sky together. When the two of them noticed the pain and howled, the man had already broken through a gap, rode straight out, and rushed towards Cheng Yunfeng.

When the horse approached, the man rolled the saddle and jumped down, shouting, "Help the master get on the horse!"

Cheng Yunfeng from beginning to end, his eyes never left this blood-soaked warrior, he opened his mouth twice, and felt that something was wrong, and hesitated: "You ...... It's you ......."

The man wiped a handful on his face, revealing a childish countenance, who is very proud!

"It's really you!" Cheng Yunfeng and Chang Sihao looked at each other, and they both remembered the scene when they burned their heads that day, when they looked at each other and smiled at each other, and they unconsciously got much closer.

"The enemy soldiers are rushing up!

Cheng Yunfeng saw that the single blade in Chang Sihao's hand was seriously curled, so he threw the long knife in his hand and shouted: "Next!" Chang Sihao took the knife in his hand, nodded knowingly, and shouted: "Go!" turned the back of the knife and slapped the back of the horse on the crotch, the horse was in pain, sighed and roared, carrying Cheng Yunfeng, angrily raised, and went straight out of the east gate.

"Your Excellency is out of the city!" one of the soldiers shouted, "Cut down the gates!"

The 10,000 jin city gate is high above the door hole, controlled by the giant cable winch on both sides of the battlement, this gate falls, it can intercept the pursuit of the enemy soldiers, but the remaining soldiers and civilians in the city are bound to die!

Cheng Yunfeng, who had galloped not far away, heard this, and burst into tears!

The war horse didn't know the human condition, and flew its hooves and stepped on the dust and smoke all the way.

The remaining soldiers in the city shouted in response, killing the winches on both sides, trying to break the rope and seal the city. Fan soldiers also know that the giant rope is broken, and it is not easy to twist the city gate again, so they are busy dividing the troops into two ways, one group of blocking, and the other group of stepping stone steps to go up, rushing to the battlements first, controlling the winches on both sides, and also condescending, occupying the geographical advantage!

When the sergeant saw this scene, he secretly felt cold, but even if he knew that there was no hope, he had to fight with blood!

The two armies waved their swords and started a battle for the winch!

Chang Sihao's long knife swept wildly, stepping on the blood steps and assaulting step by step, all of them roared miserably, breaking bones and covering blood. Over the narrow road, severed limbs flew for a while, and blood mist fluttered!

When the sergeants saw Chang Sihao's bravery, they were all in high spirits.

Fan life, seeing that the people have been weak and weak, the anger is blazing, all of them are fighting for the hero, and they are fighting to the death!

There are people falling all the time, the Han people are fighting less and less, and the Fan people are fighting more and more, and the battle situation is unprecedentedly tragic.

Suddenly, I heard a loud and heavy sound, and the huge city gate fell steeply, and the smoke and dust rose from the notches on both sides, and there were stone foam and brick chips falling.

It turned out that Chang Sihao had killed the battlements on the south side and cut a huge rope!

As soon as the south cable was broken, the city gate was only supported by the north cable, and the huge rope was twice the usual weight, and the pen seemed to be straight, creaking, and the winch bar stuck in the stone file was also bent to the limit, almost broken.

Connecting the north and south two battlements is a three-zhang long, only allowing two people to pass side by side, at this moment this small road has been crowded with soldiers, they hold weapons in their hands, look at Chang Sihao, but they are intimidated by his murderous spirit, unwilling to retreat, and dare not advance lightly.

Chang Sihao held a long knife in his hand, his mind went blank, and the sight he saw turned crimson from the blood splashed in his eyes. He knew that he would die here today, but before he died, he had to cut the giant rope on the opposite side, so that Lord Cheng could gain enough time and escape enough distance.

His legs were shaking, and his body was almost out of strength.

Looking back at the way I came, I stepped on it, as if the barren steps of the blood domain, and the three-zhang long corridor in front of me was the corridor of hell!

The soldiers under the battlements were blocking the crazy attack of the soldiers with their flesh and blood, knowing that they would die, and they only wanted to resist one for a while. Chang Sihao, who stood proudly on the battlements like a god, faintly felt that their eyes of despair and hope were messily intertwined on his body in the sword light and blood shadow.

"Kill ————!"

With a roar, Chang Sihao's body suddenly rushed forward, the long knife from top to bottom, slashed at the opposite soldier, the soldier relied on his bravery, raised the knife horizontally, but Chang Sihao's blade flew obliquely, picking through the throat of another defenseless soldier on the side!

At the same time that the two corpses fell sideways, a red tassel protruded, and the tip of the silver spear pierced Chang Sihao's chest!

Chang Sihao tried his best to turn sideways, the tip of the spear pierced through the skin and flesh on the side of the ribs, and went straight through, and at the same time, Chang Sihao's long knife swept, and the head of the spearman flew away!

Although the person was dead, the body did not fall, and a cavity of qi and blood spurted out of his neck like fiery lava, hissing sound.

Chang Sihao endured the pain and rushed forward, kicked his body in the air with a side kick, and smashed it at the soldiers who rushed forward! Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his back, and it turned out that he was attacked by two soldiers behind him.

Chang Sihao didn't look back, slapped the barrel of the gun between the ribs, and the spear passed through the skin and shot out! When the second time and left and right dodged respectively, Chang Sihao turned around, and the long knife slashed, "click" and "click" twice, cutting the waists of the two of them in four!

- The spear that flew out also penetrated the chest of the soldier who rushed forward at the same time!

Before I could catch my breath, the wind suddenly rose in the back of my head!

Chang Sihao's body turned, and a knife was already in front of him! He tried his best to tilt his head to the right—the cold blade passed close to his ear—Chang Sihao tried his best to hit the blade with his head, and the knife was slightly deflected, cutting into his shoulder, and in an instant, the blood was flying and the iron shoulder was dyed red!

- If he hadn't hit the blade of the sword with his head and unleashed his strength, with the power of the sword, he would have been cut off with one arm!

Chang Sihao roared angrily, did not retreat, but advanced, the long knife pointed sharply, "pounced" lightly, from the enemy's abdomen, through his back! He took the knife as the axis, his arms were forced, his body was in the air and rotated rapidly, and he stirred up a circle in a "open" way, and the enemy's abdomen had already become a bloody hole, his spine was broken, his stomach was broken, and his intestines flowed, and blood foam and flesh residue were splashed everywhere.

Chang Sihao's feet fell to the ground, the long knife was provoked upward, the soldier screamed miserably, half of his body flew into the sky, and when he landed, he was still not dead, and he wanted to support himself to get up, only to find that he had lost the lower half of his body.

Brake time –

Chang Sihao rushed forward, slashed seven people in a row, and was shot three times in his body!

- His sword came to a halt!

- He needs a breather!

- The enemy will not allow him to breathe!

The enemy is advancing!

What Chang Sihao wants is the enemy to advance!

- Lure the enemy!

A cruel, sly smile appeared out of the corner of his eye.

At that moment, time suddenly slowed down as if it was about to freeze, and he felt that the sweat melted with blood, converging into a trickle, like a hundred and ten small snakes, slowly swimming on his body, so hot, so itchy. One exhale, one inhale, the sound of wheezing expands a thousand times, echoing in the ear drum. The air that kept coming in and out seemed to come from the wind of hell in the depths of a thousand-year-old cave.

"Is death approaching......" Chang Sihao gritted his teeth: "Even if it is death, you have to take the winch!"

The sword flashed, and the five enemy corpses fell down the road, Chang Sihao took the opportunity to enter one more zhang, and suddenly stopped!

It's a very smart step.

It keeps the rhythm of the battle firmly in Chang Sihao's hands!

The soldiers were horrified and retreated.

- Cowardice!

What is often thought of is cowardice!

He pointed at the enemy with his long knife, stared at the enemy soldiers with two eyes, and slowly advanced with blood!

Fan Bing was afraid of his brave posture, and slowly retreated, the pores on his fierce face shrank, and his complexion turned from red to white, like a pan frost!

The two sides retreated and advanced, their momentum rose and fell, and the sky and the earth seemed to become extremely silent in an instant.

The crunch of the giant cord was suddenly very harsh!

Before you know it, the winch is in front of you.

——Chang Sihao actually retreated from the enemy with his fierce murderous aura!

The long knife was waved, and he was about to cut down on the giant rope, when he suddenly heard a loud sound of "Kerala", and the winch bar finally couldn't withstand the huge tension and shattered!

On weekdays, the winch giant rope on both sides bears the weight of 10,000 catties of the city gate, the south cable is broken early, only one north cable remains, how huge the force is, the winch bar is broken, the city gate falls rapidly, the roar, the original tight giant rope is pumped up, in the middle of Chang Sihao's chest, he will be forced to fly up, straight out of the city!

The sudden change was abrupt, when Chang Sihao reacted, his body was already in the air, only to feel that his ears were bulging, his chest was tight, and he couldn't breathe, and with a wow, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and in an instant, ten thousand points of red rain sprinkled down the city wall.

At the same time, the city gate fell to the ground with a bang, smashing several feet, and for a time smoke and dust rose everywhere, and bricks flew!

Chang Sihao saw that he was falling rapidly, and when he saw that he was about to fall into a pulp, he hurriedly tried his best, swung his knife and slashed towards the city wall, and the long knife drew a long Martian gold chain on the city bricks, and finally unloaded a lot of strength.

A little sober, looking up, only to see the city wall from shallow to deep, leaving a long trench of more than two feet, the head of the city head ant moved, all the soldiers were hand-picked up the battlements to look down, see Chang Sihao open his eyes and look up, one by one open his mouth stammered, and stood frozen on the spot.

At this time, the killing in the city has stopped, and it is obvious that the soldiers and civilians in the city have all been martyred!

Chang Sihao reluctantly got up, only to feel the pain of every inch of his bones, especially the right hand of the knife, which was even more scorching, he wanted to let go of the handle of the knife and look at the palm of his hand, but he didn't expect his five fingers to grasp the handle of the knife tightly, as if he had grown on, motionless, and he was not under his control at all.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of color on the head of the city, and it turned out that those soldiers saw that Chang Sihao was not only not dead, but also able to get up and move, and they all had admiration in the incredulity, and they forgot to kill and revenge for a while, and each raised his sword in his hand, and cheered in admiration.

Chang Sihao looked at the happy appearance of the city, and his heart was not a feeling for a while, thinking that the two countries were fighting each other, eating and swallowing each other, plundering the land and attacking the city, and exhausted themselves. When the soldiers were cold, their hearts were as cold as water, and when they saw that the city gate had been sealed, and there was no other thought, they dragged their knives slowly eastward along the ancient road.

The red sun rose obliquely, tearing down the long shadow of silence behind him.
