Chapter 155: Life Has Years

Thank you: o Lao Ji o, Ye Qiulan, the day after tomorrow when it snows @ Baidu, the secret of longevity, the vast forest @ Baidu's support, monthly passes, as well as flower skewers, red envelopes of floating wing, and greeting cards for their support and encouragement!

..................

The length and width of the canyon are also dozens of zhang, and it is completely blocked, which looks very simple, but it is not easy.

What is about to be faced is tens of thousands of ironclad cavalry, with only a formation surrounded by hundreds of carts, I am afraid that only one impact can engulf the entire broken camp.

The veterans who broke the camp have been in the army for many years and know the danger of the battlefield, and after learning the details, they can't help but panic. The enemy is strong and we are weak, and the defeat is decided. Counting on a few hundred people to be able to block tens of thousands of enemy soldiers is no different from blocking a car with a mantis arm. And the so-called sticking to the spot is no different from waiting for death. That's it, that's it, since you can't survive left and right, it's better to fight, if you hold out until the moment when the bear army withdraws from the Shinan Valley, it is still unknown whether you can survive in death!

However, before the arrival of the enemy soldiers, there were only two short hours to prepare for battle. Thanks to the foresight of General Gongsun, the fortifications laid out yesterday saved most of the brothers' work!

"The cart is compacted with a soil pit, leaving no gaps......"

"The more pits, the better, and pile the dry firewood in front of the battle......"

"Don't be idle on the mountains on both sides, dig the soil and dig the pits......"

"Line up the bows and arrows left and right...... There were only twenty or thirty old bows and thousands of arrows...... Damn, all of them moved here......"

"The tent was dismantled and poured vegetable oil. Then move the stone to the top of the mountain...... What's wrong? There are few dirt mountains and stones...... Alas, this is the day to kill me......"

Bao Feng, Daoqi and others ran back and forth, shouting and scolding, and there were busy figures everywhere in the canyon and on the dirt mountains on both sides.

A group of soldiers were struggling to dig earth and stone to build fortifications. How can it freeze three feet, and the iron pickaxe will go down and sparks will splash everywhere. Everyone was so anxious that they jumped to their feet, but still had little effect.

"Get out of the way for General Ben—"

When he got closer, he swung the five-foot sword in his hand and slashed down. With the secret blessing of spiritual power, the fluttering long sword suddenly became powerful and heavy. With a "boom", large pieces of frozen soil fell into the canyon. Without waiting for the crowd to applaud, he continued to swing his sword non-stop. Half an hour later, a passage more than one person wide was dug into the mountainside on both sides of the canyon. He jumped down and helped pile up hundreds of pounds of dirt. After another half an hour, a wall of earth more than two people high was slowly erected in the canyon. The soldiers covered it with cowhide tents soaked in vegetable oil and mattresses, and did not forget to insert a row of upside-down iron guns.

The bleak daylight gradually rose overhead, and Huwei Gorge was still shrouded in the cold wind.

Qi Sanren sat alone on the leeward side of the mountaintop, silently observing the situation around them.

In the distance of thousands of feet in front of the canyon, there are countless earth pits, all of which are the thickness of the bowl mouth and more than a foot deep, as long as the horse's leg steps into it, the leg is broken and broken immediately. The so-called trap is also true to its name.

At the exit of the canyon, a hundred carts set up three obstacles, and there were iron spears stuck side by side, like dogs' teeth intertwined and shining.

Immediately next to the mouth of the valley is a hastily built earthen wall, with a steep outer side and a gentle slope on the inner side for easy going up and down. More than 200 soldiers were reprimanded by Bao Feng, and put on a posture of wooden shields, spears and steel knives. After that, there were two hundred other veterans, just waiting to be ready to help.

At the rear of the canyon, the tents had been dismantled. Dozens of men were busy guarding the cauldron so that the whole camp could have their last full meal. On the slopes of the mountains behind, hundreds of horses and dozens of war horses gathered.

On the dirt hills on both sides of the canyon, there are more than 100 people carrying stones, arrows and other objects. One of them, a young general dressed in silver armor and a scarlet cloak, was quite eye-catching, his steps were like flying, and the black sword in his hand rose and fell with him, which was very powerful, but he took the lead, which made the brothers feel relieved and admired.

Who said that Gongsun Gongzi was a useless waste? Fart! People beat the sky tower, stepped on the iron cavalry camp, and their strength was amazing, and their skills were high, and now they are sharing weal and woe with everyone. What's more, he does not act with selfish desires, but is benevolent and morally responsible. Such a general, the brothers have nothing to say, four words, convincing!

"Old Dao, you have nothing to do with this battle, but you can't stay out of it. Report the military situation in a timely manner, and there must be no mistakes!"

Xu saw someone idle, and the general stood on the top of the opposite hill and reminded him. Lu San beside him was still waving, with an excited and murderous smile on his filthy face.

Qi Sanren slowly closed his eyes and replied casually: "His Royal Highness Ji Lu is still fighting in the city, and the 200,000 army has been broken by 30 percent; His Royal Highness Shaodian may be aware of it, but it is difficult to get out for a while; the three main roads to the east of Shinan Valley have been attacked separately; and the 30,000 iron cavalry of Shizhou are more than ten miles away, you should know something." Do it yourself......"

A dull sound came from afar, like a long-lost spring thunder hovering in the sky. Then the earth and mountains under his feet trembled slightly, as if the heavens and the earth were stunned and the hidden dragon came out of the abyss.

The 800 veterans who broke the camp seemed to have forgotten their breath, and they were stunned one by one, looking north silently with their mouths open.

More than ten miles to the east of the canyon, there are large messy hills and ravines, which isolate the Shinan Valley and make Huwei Gorge even more deserted.

Seven or eight miles north of the canyon is a patchwork of dirt and mountains.

At this time, in the cracks of the earth mountain, the figures of iron horses poured out one after another, as if they came out of the ground suddenly, and more and more, countless, rumbling horses' hooves were like thunder, and the sand and dust were swept with the wind. The mighty formation and fierce murderous aura are terrifying even from afar!

Tens of thousands of iron horsemen from the country of Siju are finally here!

The enemy's intentions are self-evident, seize Huwei Gorge, block the last retreat route to and from the Shinan Valley, and then outflank and besiege it, and the bear army will not be able to escape this catastrophe!

Standing on the top of the dirt hill on the east side with a group of soldiers, Wu Ji and a group of soldiers could see the scene from far and near.

He withdrew his eyes from a distance, stretched out his hand to take the battle flag from Lu San's hand, raised his foot and jumped off the cliff and waved his arm, "bang", and the flagpole was directly inserted into the earthen wall at the mouth of the valley. He floated down, the robe behind him rolled up, and when his feet stood still, he raised his head to look at the figures around him, and said in a loud voice: "Your brothers can afford to look down on my grandson, so they abandoned their families and came to the border." I am sincerely afraid, and I dare not tarnish my father's prestige. How can the military situation be changeable, and the danger is sudden. At this critical juncture, the only way to survive is to die. I will advance and retreat with you, and share weal and gloom. This battle is not for success, but for being worthy of the parents of heaven and earth!"

Around the canyon, there are figures standing one after another, all with solemn expressions, as if there is an inexplicable murderous aura boiling in their hearts.

Behind the crowd, Qi Sanren quietly opened his eyes and watched silently.

At this point, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves became closer and closer, and he raised the black sword in his hand sharply, and roared again: "Brothers, follow me to the death!"

Eight hundred warriors raised their swords and guns together, shouting to the sky: "Battle, battle, battle-"

In the canyon, the battle flag hunts, the long sword is pointed obliquely, and the murderous aura is pervasive.

The bursts of shouts and the sound of iron hooves coming from the "rumble" converged, like a roaring war drum, beating the earth, knocking on the sky, tearing the cold wind, and slamming into the bosom, making people's blood swell and difficult to control.

Death is death, war is battle!

There are years in life, time is short, and the blood is dyed with a long sword, and there is no regret by smiling to the sky!

Blameless took a sip in the wind and raised his eyes to look into the distance.

The iron cavalry of Siju had reached a distance of three or five miles, and after a slight pause, thousands of people had gathered. Its dress is still purple, and even the royal flag fluttering in the array is also purple and red. From afar, it looks like a raging flame leaping and raging through the valley, as if it is about to roar and boil at any moment, and crush all opponents into powder. And the cavalry that followed was still in a steady stream, and the neighing of people and horses was clearly audible. In a few moments, thousands of iron horsemen put on a formation, and with an order, they rushed straight to the canyon.

Blameless still stood on top of the earthen wall, and behind him were more than 200 veterans who were ready to wait. He is no longer a general who has left his hands, but a master who guards the most dangerous place. The east and west of the canyon are guarded by Baofeng, Daoqi, Ma Zhantie and Lu San. The rest of the soldiers hid behind the hill so that they could respond to all sides at any time. The guys simply threw down the cauldron and rubbed their hands one by one.

And the war is about to break out, but some people stay out of it.

Qi Sanren sat alone on the leeward mountainside and recited a few words silently. In the military formation a few miles away, the two Shizhou monks on horseback looked at each other, and then nodded, as if they had something to do with each other. But Lao Dao slowly closed his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

The red dust is enchanting a few times, and when I wake up from a dream, it is finally empty. Boy, when will you rest in your vulgar thoughts......

At this time, the iron cavalry of the Siju Kingdom had been forced to within a thousand zhang.

In the blink of an eye, the horse's legs in the gallop fell into the dirt pit, and before they could jump, they planted to the ground with a huge force of impact, and in an instant, the leg bones were broken and the horse turned over on his back. One ride suffers, and the other rides comes. The neighing, screaming and falling of horses sounded loudly, and the tragic scene was shocking. And dozens of iron horsemen fell, and many more iron horses ran wildly.

Suddenly, a horse rushed to the valley mouth more than ten zhang away, the on-demand cart was in charge, the oblique iron spear was sharp, the man on the horse hurriedly turned the horse's head, and raised the short axe in his hand to throw out.

Blameless stood on top of the earthen wall, staring closely at the movement ahead.

Seeing this, he handed over the black sword of Xuantie to his left hand, and with his right hand, he grabbed a spear in the arms of the soldier behind him, raised it slightly horizontally, and threw it suddenly. The three-zhang iron spear, which weighed more than ten catties, dragged a faint gray shadow with a "woo" wind sound, and then it was as fast as lightning, and instantly inserted into the soldier's chest, and actually lifted the person up in the air, and then flew backwards and fell to the ground. And the iron horse under his seat couldn't hold back, and directly hit the cart, and then was pierced into the belly by the iron gun, and suddenly his stomach flowed, but he still hissed and struggled.

At the same time, dozens of iron horsemen followed. Some crashed into the cart and flew flesh and blood, some bent their bows and arrows left and right, some threw short axes and flattened the oblique iron spears, and some took the opportunity to fly over obstacles and go straight into the canyon.

"Shoot the arrows—"

"Stone—"

On the dirt hills on both sides of the canyon, Bao Feng and Ma Zhan Tie were roaring loudly.

Stones fell in volleys, followed by the clanging of bowstrings and the swift fall of arrows.

However, compared to the increasing number of iron horsemen, and the frenzied attacks that raged after wave, the stones and arrows that fell from the dirt mountain were sparse and weak.

After burying nearly 100 horses one after another and killing or wounding seventy or eighty people, the iron cavalry of the Sizhou Kingdom finally leveled the horse trap and rushed to the fortress of the three carts one after another......
