Chapter 228(1/2)
Build a broken arm
Among the vast mountains and forests, Gao Jianwu was being pursued by a group of Sui troops with a few hundred cavalry. The Sui troops were carrying sharp horse lances, straddling sharp horns on their heads, and all four hooves were stepping on a ball of black war horses with faint green fire.
Their eyes were as big as fists, with disheveled hair, and the light shot out of their eyes was like lightning. He and his subordinates ran desperately, but they could not get rid of the Sui people. From time to time, their soldiers were jumped from horses by the Sui soldiers, and opened their bloody mouths, and used their sharp teeth to bite the Goguryeo warriors and swallowed them alive.
One subordinate after another was thrown down and tore up. Gao Jianwu rode his horse wildly. As he ran, a big river suddenly blocked him. There was no way forward, and there were pursuers behind him. Finally, in desperation, he raised the long sword in his hand and stabbed the horse's buttocks. The war horse was in pain and neighed up to the sky. The people stood up. Before the Sui army behind us came, they suddenly jumped out and jumped into the river with a pounce.
Gao Jianwu suddenly woke up and sat up from the bearskin mat. His whole body was soaked in sweat as if he had just been fished out of the water. He was breathing heavily in his mouth. Gao Jianwu was still in shock, but suddenly heard the sound of shouting and killing outside the tent. For a moment, he thought he was still immersed in the nightmare that had disturbed him for months.
"Attack the camp!" A personal soldier rushed in from outside the tent and shouted in panic, "Master, attack the camp, someone attacked the camp!"
"Who? Who is it? Are the Sui army in Liaodong City?"
Gao Jianwu asked loudly, this time the army went on an expedition, Gao Jianwu led 20,000 elite troops as the vanguard of the army. Yesterday, he rushed over the Daliang River and entered the sphere of influence of the Sui army. As soon as he passed the Daliang River, he began to be careful and sent a thousand cavalry forward for a hundred miles to reconnaise the movements of the Sui army in Liaodong City.
Moreover, after setting up camp here tonight, he sent dozens of teams of raids to secretly watch the west direction, and strictly prevented the Sui army from robbing the camp. But now someone attacked the camp, how could this be possible? Are those lines of defense fake?
"I don't know, Grandmaster, the troops attacking the camp came in from the rear of the camp. Now there are enemy cavalry everywhere in the camp. Grandmaster, let's go quickly. It will be too late." The personal soldier didn't know how he came back, but the noisy camp and the fires rising everywhere made him panic.
Gao Jianwuteng jumped up, grabbed the sword beside him and opened the tent. In the dark night, the entire camp of 20,000 people was completely in chaos, with fire everywhere, untidy clothes and running soldiers running wildly. In the chaos, only people were heard shouting, "Run quickly, the monster is coming!"
"Come here, prepare horses for me!" Gao Jianwu roared and ran around a team of personal soldiers outside the tent. Fortunately, although the camp was already in chaos at this time, Gao Jianwu's war horses were not with other war horses, but were not far from his tent. Otherwise, in such chaos, it would be difficult to find a mount.
The personal soldiers led the horses and helped Gao Jianwu pierce the armor. After a while, he had already put on his armor and rode on the war horse.
In the dark fire, there was no distinction between marshals and soldiers. Everyone ran around like unrelated flies. In ancient times, the most feared thing about fighting was to be attacked at night. If one is not good, the entire army would collapse. This was also the military law that after the ancient army camped, the military law strictly ordered soldiers to be taken in their own tents. It was strictly forbidden for the soldiers to walk around, make noise, and fight in the camp. Because if one is not good, the soldiers would easily think that the enemy attacked the camp. At that time, it was the Xiaozhang or the Blasting camp.
Gao Jianwu and his personal soldiers were all riding war horses and wearing all their bodies, constantly shouting at the running soldiers, "Get together, gather together, gather to me!"
But they almost shouted, but there were not many soldiers who could really stop and gathered toward them. Most of the soldiers kept shouting monsters and monsters while continuing to run around.
Looking at this chaotic army, Gao Jianwu was so dark that he almost dripped out of water. He was so elite that he was the one who commanded 100,000 troops. He only relied on Liaodong City with 100,000 people, blocked the 500,000 Sui Emperor's army's continuous attacks day and night for more than a month. Even though the Sui army attacked the city wall again and again, they still swear to death in the end.
But what about the soldiers in front of me? The number is 20,000, but only about 5,000 people have actually been on the battlefield, and about 5,000 people have loved to complete training. Half of the remaining ones are mostly slaves in the manors of the nobles. Except for being young and strong, they don’t know how to fight. Just like now, they only know how to run and can’t do anything else.
He held up the long bow in his hand, Gao Jianwu took the bow and took the arrows, shot several arrows one after another, and shot the soldiers who did not obey the orders and continued to run to death. After shooting, he shouted, "Everyone moved closer to me, and those who did not obey the orders would be killed without mercy!"
After killing several people in a row, Gao Jianwu finally gathered some of the soldiers. He continued to run into the camp with the gathered soldiers and horses, constantly gathering all the panicked soldiers.
The further forward, the clearer it was already seen. Although the camp was extremely chaotic, the place where the fierce battle was still in the back army camp. It was on the side of Daliangshui, and it was also the food and supplies camp carried by his vanguard army with him.
An officer came with dozens of cavalry and several wounds on his body.
"What's going on? What about the last guest who was guarding the camp in the rear army? Who was attacking the camp?"
The officer was also the last guest who was in charge of thousands of people, but at this time he was in a mess, his helmet was lost, his armor was broken several times, and a white feather arrow was inserted on his back, which seemed particularly conspicuous in the dark night.
"Sir, the enemy attacked very suddenly and there was no situation before. Lord Keas of the rear army had already died in battle. It was not the Sui army but the Black Shui Mo. Behind them, there was a group of monsters." The officer said in panic and trembling.
Gao Jianwu said in disbelief, "Hei Shui Mori? Have you read it wrong? Hei Shui Mori is our coalition, and Sumo Shui Mori is the enemy who surrendered to the Sui army. Do you think of Sumo Shui Mori as the Black Shui Mori? And, what monster did you say?"
Today he was camping here, waiting for the alliance troops. Jueluo, the chief of the Hei Shui Mohe clan, led the Allied troops to join. All this had been agreed before sending troops, but after he arrived today, he did not find any trace of the Hei Shui Mohe cavalry.
At this moment, a black water Marine cavalry attacked his camp at night from behind, which made Gao Jianwu's face even more gloomy. He didn't dare to think further. This time, Goguryeo's court unanimously decided to attack Liaodong by the army of the country. The biggest reliance was the Allies of Marine, Shiwei, Baekje, and Japan. If the Marine people were betrayed at this time, then... Thinking of this, his eyes were even a little panicked.
"Master, I'm right. There is still a big difference between Sumo Shui Mori and Black Shui Mori. I often deal with them and can be seen at a glance. These people are definitely Black Shui Mori, and there are many monsters behind them, those monsters riding with sharp horns and green faces. The knights on the horse are all red-haired, green-faced and fangs, and long hairs on them. These people are so terrifying that none of the warriors can stop their attack. Everyone says that these are evil ghosts invited by the Black Shui Mori people from hell."
Gao Jianwu was shocked. Why did he say so similar to the nightmare he had been having for a while? Is it true that there are such evil ghosts? So is such evil ghosts coming to him now?
The sound of tearing and killing in the distance kept coming, and teams of enemy cavalry rushed around, while constantly throwing torches onto the tents in the camp, igniting the tents one by one. Through the fire that soared into the sky, he could vaguely see that the steed people were indeed black water steed people, and the steed people all had long hair dispersed, which would make the long hair in their ears into a small debate.
But those black water mandarins did not loosen their hair in front, but instead tied the hair behind their heads into dozens of long braids. The group of rushing back and forth were all loose in front of them, but there were more than ten braids behind them. Gao Jianwu was furious. These damn humble men were indeed worthy of being slaves to the Goguryeo people for the rest of their lives. After accepting their heavy conditions, they stabbed them in the back. He gritted his teeth tightly. He would definitely remember all of this today. As long as Goguryeo survived this level, he would definitely demote all the harems to slaves in the future, so that they would never turn over.
Another tent was lit up, and the flames soared into the sky. He clearly saw a team of cavalry rushing out. However, the cavalry's outfits were very strange. Their war horses were all wearing leather armor and masks. Not only were there various evil ghosts painted on the mask, but there was also a long sharp horn on it. Even the leather armor on the entire horse was painted with the appearance of these evil ghosts.
Not only the war horses, but also the knights on the horse were wearing a large cloak painted with evil ghosts, and each of them had a green-faced and fanged mask on their faces. From a distance, this team of cavalry was like evil ghosts coming out of hell, with green-faced and fanged fangs and hair. What was even more frightening was that these knights, whether they were the leather armor, masks, or the cavalry of the horses, were all shining with a faint green light in the dark night, like a cluster of ghost fire, extremely strange.
Wherever these knights rushed, the Goguryeo soldiers dispersed everywhere, threw away their armor and fled desperately.
Gao Jianwu saw that the war horses were wearing leather armor painted with evil ghosts, and their horses were wearing cloaks and masks. However, the pattern with luminous light on them was something he could not understand no matter what.
The hideous evil ghosts emitted a faint green light in the darkness. Gao Jianwu's heart began to beating violently. He felt his hands and feet were chilling and his pores were creepy.
Even Gao Jianwu looked at him from a distance and felt uncontrollable fear. The Goguryeo soldiers who met him faced him were even more like a ghost. They all fled in panic. Occasionally, one or two people who were not afraid of death could not stop him and were killed by the knife. The Liao people even tried their best to avoid him.
Whether it was a real evil ghost or pretending to be a ghost, Gao Jianwu knew that if he could rush on the cavalry, his entire camp of 20,000 people would really collapse. He lifted his long sword and Gao Jianwu lifted his sword and slashed his left palm. Warm blood spilled out in this winter. Gao Jianwu raised his left palm, covered his face with his hands, and wiped it all over his face.
Suddenly, the handsome Gao Jianwu became a person with bloody face and could not see clearly.
"As long as you apply the blood on your face, you don't have to be afraid of no matter how evil the ghost is, brothers, gods block the gods, ghosts block the ghosts block the ghosts!" Gao Jianwu shouted loudly in the darkness.
Swish, swish, swish!
One by one, the soldiers quickly picked up their swords, cut their left hands, and applied them to the surface with blood.
"God blocks the slaughter of gods, ghosts blocks the slaughter of ghosts! Kill!"
A shout of killing sounded, Gao Jianwu took the lead and rushed towards the enemy with his troops. Just here, the generals on duty outside the front army rushed back with the rangers, and the two sides gathered together and left.
In the darkness, the soldiers and horses on both sides fought together, wielding sabers and stabbing with spears. After each flash of sword light, a head would certainly fly high and then hit the ground.
Gao Jianwu kept roaring and cursing while waving his horse spear. He was cursing Chen Kefu, cursing Yizhi Wende, cursing Jueluo's old dog who was treacherous in the back. He swore that as long as he was given time, he would kill all these people one by one.
Roaring and anger can make a person temporarily forget his fear. At this time, the Liao army was fighting forever, and people fell down all the time. No one cared about or feared the evil ghosts with a faint light. Gradually, more and more Liao people gathered. Generals kept gathering their troops and joining the battle group. The camp, which was originally extremely chaotic, gradually only bursts of gold and iron were left.
In the darkness, a cavalry wearing Goguryeo armor leaned up and asked loudly, "Who is Your Highness Rongliu? I have urgent military information to report to him!"
"I am right, tell me!"
The cavalry said in a fluent and noble sentence, "After the most exhausted information, Jueluo from the Black Water Mart has defected to the Sui Kingdom..."
Gao Jianwu said hatefully, "I already know this news, and they have stabbed us in the back..." Before he finished speaking, he saw a dazzling sword light flashing in the darkness, and the messenger actually raided Gao Jianwu.
This sudden change was beyond everyone's expectations. No one expected that such a situation would happen at this time. Everyone roared angrily and waved their swords to rescue him. However, the cavalry had already planned it, and they were waiting for the moment when Gao Jianwu was distracted.
The sword light appeared and blood splattered!
Just as the sword light flashed, Gao Jianwu, who had been on the verge of life and death for many years, finally felt bad. The following meaning was to retreat and raise the long sword in his hand to block it.
However, at this time, his blocking was just a subversive action. It did not have much effect on the opponent who had already prepared a blow. With a light pick, the sword in Gao Jianwu's hand was already taken away by a powerful force. With a chorus, the long sword had fallen to the ground.
As soon as the sword was removed, the opponent's sword was a fire-raising style, and it was slanted from bottom to top and cut it towards his head. After thinking about it more, Gao Jianwu leaned backwards on the iron bridge and raised his left hand to block his neck.
A blood splashed, and he felt his left hand lighter, and then a very wonderful feeling. He felt that his left hand was gone, and then he swept his eyes and saw that his left hand was cut off from his arm at this time, and the broken arm was constantly splattering blood.
The next moment, a severe pain came, and Gao Jianwu, who had already become unstable, fell immediately.
The roar of the personal soldiers, the call of the generals, and even the laughter of the cavalry came into Gao Jianwu's ears one by one. The pain of the broken arm flooded him like a tide. Gao Jianwu hunched over on the ground, bowing like a big shrimp.
A painful howl spread from afar.
The cavalry saw that Gao Jianwu had just broken his arm, and rode his horse with a long sword and rushed over. At this time, Gao Jianwu's personal soldiers had already reacted. They raised their long cavalry spears and stabbed straight into the knight's back.
The knight cut his backhand hard and cut the heads of several guns aside. Seeing that there was no chance, the knight was not upset. He raised his lips slightly in the darkness, jumped up and jumped out of the encirclement of Gao Jianwu's personal soldiers, and rushed straight into the firelight in the distance.
As soon as the knight retreated, the other generals from all directions had already arrived from all sides, and all the enemy cavalry that attacked the camp were gradually driven to the gap in the rear army. With a roar, the cavalry quickly gathered and retreated together, and rushed through the gap that they broke through when they came, and rushed into the darkness.
Some of the Goguryeo people had already guarded Gao Jianwu in groups, and the remaining generals commanded their troops to chase the gap.
Gao Jianwu, who was sweating all over his head, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Don't chase the enemy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that from the darkness, the enemy suddenly turned around and threw dozens of packages in. All of the packages were tied tightly with strong ropes, and drew a lonely line in the sky, flying towards the soldiers and horses in the gap in the camp.
But those packages were still sparking in the dark night. The Goguryeo people didn't care about picking them with spears and rode their guns, and were still laughing and scolding. These people were so stupid. If you want to set fire, it wouldn't be more convenient for you to throw a torch in, and the effect would be better? If you make a cloth bag like this, there is only a little spark. What can you do?
After throwing out the cloth bag, the enemies outside the gap all began to gallop, as if they were fleeing in panic.
Seeing this scene, several Goguryeo generals sighed with regret. In his opinion, this strange raid cavalry tonight was obviously the Black Shui Mahe people, and the number was not large, with a total of about 3,000 people.
At first, they caught them off guard by raids, but now, as soon as their army gathered their troops, the miraculous people began to flee in panic. At this time, don’t use 20,000 people, even if there are 5,000 people, they will definitely defeat this cavalry that has been raiding for more than an hour, and may even annihilate them.
Dozens of sparkling cloth bags were quickly pulled under the horse by the Goguryeo cavalry with spears. But these cloth bags seemed very strange and fell to the ground. Although there was only a little spark flashing, they were not extinguished.
A curious Liao man stretched out his toes and kicked the cloth bag. But suddenly he saw the spark seem to have faded, and then suddenly felt a bright light in front of him, as bright as day. Then, he knew nothing.
"Bang!"
Thousands of loud noises rang out one after another, and the cloth bags burst one by one.
The sudden explosion of cloth bag exploded among the dense Liao soldiers. The huge shock wave directly overturned the entire gap dozens of feet in the radius. In those dozens of feet, the positions of the dozen cloth bags were all blown out one or two feet deep.
Everything that was within five feet of cloth, whether it was a warrior, a war horse, or the soil under his feet, was overturned. In the darkness, the huge fireballs that shone one after another made everyone's eyes suddenly hurt.
After the explosion, it was like raining, all kinds of broken and fragmented things were constantly scattered from the sky. There were the heads of war horses, the arms, calves, intestines of Liao soldiers, and broken pieces of cloth and armor.
At that moment, the explosion of thirty cloth bags directly razed the radius of thirty feet to the ground. More than 300 Liao soldiers were directly blown into pieces, including two last guests and more than ten pawn owners.
In the radius of thirty feet, nearly a thousand soldiers were bleeding from the explosion's huge shock wave and deafened. The war horses in the entire camp were frightened, and they neighed and jumped, struggling and rushing. Most of the cavalry riding war horses were thrown off the war horses, and countless war horses broke free and rushed out of the camp.
After a loud noise, the rear camp was in chaos and silence as if it was dead.
After a long time, Gao Jianwu, who had just been bandaged, looked dull and murmured, "Devil, they are really devils!"
The sounds of devils came one after another, and all the Liao people were pale. Many people knelt on the ground and kowtowed, asking God to tolerate them. A small cloth bag could emit thunder like a shocking sound, and even a dazzling light like a sun.
After the thunder that shook the sky and the dazzling light as bright as the sun, more than 300 people were killed and more than 1,000 people were injured. Everyone was shocked. This was definitely God's divine thunder.
As for why God's divine thunder came to the hands of the devil and used it to deal with them. No one thought that everyone thought it was God's punishment for them. The Liao soldiers who were afraid of God all fell to the ground, kowtowed constantly, and asked God for forgiveness and tolerance.
No one would think of it, nor would anyone believe that these things were not God's divine thunder, but were powerful tools created by mortals.
Gao Jianwu's face was as white as paper, and his heart was ashamed.
First, I had been having the nightmare of the evil ghost knight, but tonight I was betrayed by the damn Black Shui Mushi people. Not only did I not lead the troops to meet up on time, but I suddenly stabbed them in the back in the middle of the night.
To be continued...
