Nirvana In Fire - Chapter 146
Perhaps it is ironic that when the **** breath is approaching, the weather is exceptionally bright, a new green and tender tooth emerges between the trees, and a little golden sunshine jumps lightly, bringing a feeling of leisurely warmth.
The Mengzhi sword stood at the forefront of the forbidden line of defense, and was as immobile as a mountain.
He, who was born on the battlefield, knew that when more than ten times the enemy ’s black pressure was swarming up, the feeling of oppression was amazing. Once the soldiers could not bear the feeling of timid war, a situation of thousands of miles would appear at any time. Therefore, he must be the first to arouse the blood and courage of everyone, and he cannot lose contact at the very beginning.
Due to the high mountains and dense forests, the narrow and curvy roads, the forbidden army is well equipped, and the armor is strong and the shield is strong. The Qingli Army can neither use cavalry nor arrows to cross the road. Xueliangsensen, like a piece of forest, rushed up in the sky’s shouting.
As I rushed closer, I could hear an officer clamoring loudly: “Cushing! One person rewards three or two gold!”
The forbidden army on the mountain is only three thousand, and nine thousand two thousand gold wants to pull out this barrier, Yu Wang is very good at doing business.
But this is not the case for the soldiers. Many people have only used copper money in their lives, and they have never taken any money. After receiving this reward, they can send it home and buy two acres of paddy fields. I wouldn’t think about it anyway. Anyway, I made an order on the summit, and there is a reward in front of me.
Faced with an offensive like a huge wave, the Forbidden Army was as stable as a reef on the seashore.
The front row is a thick shield, covering the strong crossbowmen in the second row. The rebels just rushed into the range, and the sound of the feathers sounded “swoosh”, not dense but extremely accurate.
An instant fell, and the back surged forward, and someone kept turning over and down.
Suddenly, the attacker’s momentum was broken by several points.
“Rush! Rush up, attack melee!” One of the generals shouted with hiss.
The command is right, as long as there are many people who are not afraid of death, they can fight in contact and surpass the range of the arrows to exert their strength. However, after he shouted this sentence, there is no chance for command.
Because a black-grey figure swept up immediately, rushed down like a winged dap, stepped over the head of the heavy rebels, and rushed at the person, just a simple movement of splitting and closing. The black figure has jumped back to its original position, with the sword as its chest, standing proudly.
Liang Liang’s top master instantly calmed the audience.
In the thunderous sound of the forbidden army, Qing Lijun’s position was somewhat loose, and he could not move forward.
But only one moment.
The new commander is already in place, this time he is standing far away.
Drive the soldiers in the rear.
Constantly increase rewards.
At the same time, the heavily armored heavy armor was replaced.
In order to deal with the arrow rain, this trick really works. After all, there are not many archers who can hit the armor gap. Almost no one fell in the first half, and only a small part of them fell one after another in the second half, but most people still Before rushing to the shield.
At this time, the shield bearers suddenly withdrew their shields and backed away. The crossbowmen were on their side, and a row of swordsmen appeared. These are martial arts with excellent combat strength. Light armor and thin swords are like ice. Dealing with heavy armored soldiers is like cutting melons and vegetables. In general, the tyrants attacked at the joints that were not wrapped around the ground. Occasionally, the counterattacks encountered were slow and half-shot, and they were easy to dodge.
In the state of being slaughtered all the way, the subway armor was followed by a lighter infantry. It was originally prepared to break up the arrow array and serve as the main attacking ground.
Although the **** killing in front was frightening, the arrow array was closed after all, and they began to rush forward.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the sound of death’s bowstring sounded again. It turned out that sincerely arranged crossbowmen to hide on the surrounding trees. After this round of sharp shots, Qinglijun’s death and injury were even worse than the previous wave.
As the rebels began to panic and retreat, someone shouted, “Don’t be afraid! Charge! They don’t have many arrows!”
Meng Zhi frowned, looked around, and after shouting, the man retracted into the crowd, covered by dense forest, and disappeared.
At this time, the armored soldiers had basically been settled except for retreating backwards. The imprisoned soldiers retreated several feet and re-arranged the arrow array.
This tug of war continued for two hours, the commander of the Qingli Army finally decided to stop the attack, waiting for the night to fall, the arrow array could not play its role.
The Forbidden Army also took the opportunity to rest and eat slightly, and the two sides stalemate.
When the line of sight was blocked by the black wings, the killing sounded again.
The forbidden army’s defense line was not as strong as during the day, and it fought back. The Qingli army was shocked and almost overwhelmingly defeated. Later, in addition to the sincerity and several generals, they tried to fight back. People are almost running away.
For the rebels, what they chased was walking gold, how could they let go, biting the shadows behind, seeing the ridges crossed, the person chasing in front of them suddenly felt empty under their feet, and fell before they responded Into the deep valley, the back hurriedly wanted to stop, and then was rushed back from the back, rolling one after another, screaming constantly.
When it finally settled down, I saw a dark spot in front of me, and I just wanted to see the torch, but it started to shine, and it became a living target for the archer ambushing in the surroundings. I had to retreat the whole way and stop. .
As the sky dawned, the commander of the Qingli Army couldn’t help but see that the deep trench was not narrow, but it was definitely not wide. Ordinary strong men could jump over with a little run, and the real mountain road is here A sharp bend, but the road was covered with branches and weeds, and no one noticed that the road had turned here in the dark night.
So the fierce battles during the day began to repeat.
Qing Lijun was mobilized by 30,000 people this time, and he had an overwhelming strength in the military. He could be put into the battlefield batch by batch, but the imprisoned army had to continue to fight tiredly. Sometimes he did n’t even have time to drink water, even if he was brave. He also had to step back step by step, relying on pre-arranged traps and changeable tactics to maintain resistance.
Early on the third day, the Forbidden Army had almost withdrawn from the edge of the jungle.
However, at this moment, they were exhausted, they suddenly launched a counterattack, Qing Lijun was shocked, contracted his troops hurriedly, and retreated temporarily. Who knows that as soon as he retreated here, he would retreat at a very fast speed, and it would not take a long time. Withdrawn from the jungle, a team of crossbowmen fired rockets, igniting the firelighters that had been placed everywhere in the forest.
The mountain breeze was fierce, and soon it burned into a line of fire, and gradually spread rapidly.
Outside the jungle.
It is a mountain stream, about five feet wide.
There is plenty of water, and a natural fire wall is not afraid that the fire will be led to the higher hunting palace.
Mei Changsu stood on the high platform outside the hunting palace, gazing at the thick smoke and the growing fire in the direction of the dense forest, but his plain face was calm.
No expression.
“Mr. Su,” Lezhan Ying ran breathlessly, his face covered in black and gray, “The imprisoned army now has a total of 1,300 combatants, plus the guards of various provinces and regions, you can make up two thousand people, and command It is recommended to retreat into the hunting palace all, and ask me to ask the gentleman what he means. “
Mei Changsu nodded, “That’s right.
The hunting palace is surrounded by open grass slopes, which can be guarded without danger.
It is the best option to retreat to the hunting palace directly.
“Yes.” Li Zhanying responded, and stretched his neck to look at the fire in the distance.
Laughed.
“Although it is spring, you can watch this fire.
As long as it does not rain, you can burn a whole day and night. Unfortunately, this is a royal garden. It has always been cleaned. There is no leaf accumulation. You can’t light the whole forest. You only have to burn those places that you can walk.
However, even if the group of rebels withdrew quickly, they had not been burned to black charcoal, and the ready road was gone.
There are steep slopes in the north and south, and two pieces of stumbling wood can kill one piece, and the main mountain is connected to the east. They can only wait for the fire to be smaller or climb around from here. It is estimated that when they reach the creek, how come? It must be tomorrow evening. “
“I’m afraid that your Highness will not come back tomorrow …” Mei Changsu said lightly, “The army is too tired, and the Qingli Army has at least 10,000 combat capabilities. It is impossible to continue the jungle battle. Taking advantage of this night to stop, except At the sentry, let’s hurry up and rest. “
“The commander-in-chief is already arranging a day off,” Li Zhanying said, suddenly remembering something. “Oh, when I came here, I saw the maid of Jing Fei’s maid carrying a tonic medicine soup, saying that it was for qi, and sent it to Mr. Went to the room. “
Mei Changsu yelled softly, wrapped his cloak tightly, and turned to the platform.
At this time, basically all the people had moved into the hunting palace. It was crowded for a while, but in this case, no one had the leisure to complain about the bad conditions. Everyone’s face was tight and yellow.
Jing Fei showed her composure and order at this moment.
The chaotic situation has not yet appeared in the hunting palace, and it is her arrangement and mediation.
The prince and the princes were called into the emperor’s dormitory to accompany them. Once they made room for other clans and **** officials, and these people talked to Emperor Liang, it was also good for the old emperor’s emotional stability.
Since King Jing is not here, everyone else in the King’s Mansion is in the clan. After asking Princess Liang and Emperor Liang, they also summoned Mei Changsu, accompanied by Buddha teeth, and Feiliu has been sent to Mongolia. I went there.
After a quiet and almost suffocating day and night passed, the figure of the rebels appeared again in the sight of the guards of the hunting palace on the evening of the fourth day.
The fierce battle at this time is more different from the previous few days, because it is too close, and the big men in the palace can almost smell the **** breath.
After waves of rebel attack, the forbidden army exhausted by arrows tightened the front line and started guarding door by door, step by step.
Because this is the most elite part of the elite team trained by the first master of the Liang, and due to the blood and courage of the backwater battle, it has been fighting until late at night, and the rebels have only scored in the most peripheral one.
“Did the Emperor Capital’s reinforcements yet to arrive?” Listening to the shouting outside, Emperor Liang in the bedroom murmured, wondering if he was in a person or talking to himself.
In fact, at this time, he already understood that although he sent the emperor to relocate his troops, he was the most trusted one to defend himself. Although he had received a reply from the guards that he had successfully escaped, he still hoped that the reinforcements would not Came from the west.
“Your Majesty, please be relieved, Jing Yan will come back in time.” Jing Fei comforted softly, holding the shaking hand of the old emperor.
Fearing to be the target, only a few dim lights were lit in the room, and the dim light became more like the earth in the hall.
King Huai, who is the most timid by nature, can’t help but curl up into a ball and tremble: “If they are attacked by them, do they dare to deal with us …?”
“Shut up!” Emperor Liang snarled and tried his best to maintain his emperor’s demeanor, not wanting to show his cowardice in front of others. “How could this group of rebels be able to attack? I believe in my sincerity and I believe in Jing Yan!”
Along with this anger, the room became silent, making the shouting and killing sounds from outside being harsher and bloodier.
The Buddha’s teeth suddenly raised their heads, and a loud roar of “Ao —-” shocked everyone in the temple who was already nervous.
“What kind of animal is this? How did you get in?” Emperor Liang exclaimed angrily.
Mei Changsu gently stroked the back of the Buddha’s teeth to appease its wildness inspired by blood, while Jing Fei smiled and said, “Your Majesty is a little calm.
This is Jing Yan’s war wolf. Although others are not here, leaving this wolf can be regarded as his majesty. “
“Oh?” Emperor Liang turned angry immediately, “This wolf, can kill the enemy?”
“Yes, with it standing in front of His Majesty, who can get close to His Majesty’s next step?” Jing Fei’s light smile gently relieved the tension in the hall.
Under the caress of Mei Changsu, the Buddha’s tooth gradually returned to calm, but with two ears, he was still standing upright.
However, the night has become more and more calm.
Although the Forbidden Army retreated slowly, after all, it was a step-by-step retreat, and everyone in the temple felt it.
“Has the reinforcements yet to arrive?” This time, Ji Ji couldn’t help but say, “Hunting Palace is already the last line of defense!”
“Of course not,” Mei Changsu’s calm, ice-like voice sounded at this time, “breaking the palace gate, and this hall gate, breaking the hall gate, and our own bodies.
As long as the breath remains, it is not lost. “
His remarks were so cold that King Ji was so cold that Emperor Liang’s eyes could not help but jump quickly.
Mei Changsu turned around and faced the monarch sitting in the center straight: “Your Majesty also has a sword beside her, doesn’t she?”
Emperor Liang was aroused by his heavy eyes when he was young, his fingers tightened, and he grabbed the sword beside the throne, but after staring for a long time, he failed to pull out the sword.
Jing Fei got up slowly, and stretched out her hand, Jian Feng had already flashed her eyebrows, and a cold shone in the autumn water.
“Your Majesty, please give this sword to your concubine. The concubine is willing to be your last line of defense.”
