And when the sky gradually darkened.

In the ruins of Lutouguan's corpse, Lu Ciaobo, who has been a veteran of many years in battle, also threw down a trumpet gun in two pieces, and spat out a mouthful of blood at the vague chasm of enemy shadows who were dragging the flag. He sat on the ground covered with blood and mud, and didn't want to get up again.

Around him was thrown a bent rotating wheel gun, and other messy things such as bullet wheels were mixed together. There were also layers of enemy soldiers who were knocked down and killed, and after being stacked again as bunkers; as well as various broken weapons and flags inserted in a mess, they looked like a bleak picture under the setting sun.

As a counterattack from enemy support after rushing to the wall, the firearms were all thrown away, and the grenades on his body were also thrown to the cost of close combat. Seven pieces of flesh rolling gaps were left on him, and his helmet was also cracked and his short hair was condensed into blood clots. But fortunately, the cotton armor lined with iron sheets was quite powerful and never left enough fatal damage.

He was also able to lead the rush into Guancheng with blood all over his body. The soldiers who were already at the end of his strength mustered up Yu Yong, grabbed all the objects around him as weapons, and defeated the enemy reinforcements who had already rushed into Guancheng several times to counterattack; for his subsequent comrades, he defended such a short slope/breakthrough caused by the collapse of the doorway.

So when he twitched and reached out to pick up the kettle on his waist and watered it after he had been forgotten for a long time, it seemed like a knife-cut throat; but he only touched the empty half-piece of the leather case. Then he remembered that it seemed that this iron kettle had cut the blade on his waist at least twice, and then he grabbed the broken part and inserted it into the eye socket of an enemy soldier who was rushing to the hug.

Speaking of which, after such fierce bombardment, the enemy soldiers who could still stay behind the gates and even counterattacked were quite commendable in terms of courage and courage; but their combat skills, experience in the battle, equipment, and equipment were obviously another matter in their outfits, which also caused them to be knocked down and overturned by close-knocked and radiated firearms in rows of knocked down and radiated firearms.

Therefore, after they had the initial counterattack supported by their blood bravery, there were inevitably various short-term declines and flaws caused by lack of strength or coordination, which made them unable to shake the simple battle formation that had already rushed into the barrier and first climbed in accordance with the narrow and complex terrain.

However, when the follow-up troops, which were piled up under the wall of the wall, finally cleared out a barely accessible exit in a mess, and rushed to the gate with the Taiping Green Flag high, even if there were even more enemy reinforcements on the opposite side who were gathered to fight, they could only helplessly withdraw and retreat.

In a sense, the remaining first-row men such as Lu Ciaobo had saved their lives. Because the battle against the government army at the other end of the mountain gate had already launched an arrow formation composed of several crossbowmen. The next moment when the offensive was frustrated and rolled back, they would cover the Taiping soldiers who came out without distinguishing the enemy and our arrows.

However, before these officers and soldiers could shoot the arrow formations, they were shot by Taiping Sheng's troops who rushed to the wall. They fired a volley of front lines, and knocked them over. The formation only shot some messy arrows, and they had to retreat in a mess. One of them was inserted on the edge of Lu Jibo's thighs. He was just unable to pull them out because of the slippery and weak hands.

Then I saw a bumpy water bottle that was knocked and bumpy, being handed to Lu Huabo.

"Give.."

He couldn't help but look closely. He was a half-member party who was a member of the army in Guangzhou, alias Jian Jian, who was not from the mountain barracks. Wang Jian, the deputy of the Baijian Brigade, who was not from the mountain barracks. He couldn't help but twitch his face and smiled gratefully. He couldn't wait to slurry and drink it all. Then he came back to the taste and actually had a strong tea soup with soju and sugar. He let out a big sigh before saying "Thank you."

At this time, the deafening roar sounded again, but several short-barrel mountain cannons on the top of the city were also emitting; it was like a signal and sign of urging. The soil and rocks exploded and broke piles behind the gates, and the flags of the government army that were still swaying fell down one after another, turning into dust and smoke and noises that were getting farther and farther away.

As the night fell, he finally broke away from the battle and retreated all the way to the thousands of official troops at the inn at the foot of Lutou Mountain. Listening to the faint cheers and flashing fires on the mountain, it was hard to hide their own sadness and disgrace. Zheng Junxiong, as the chief general of the pass, could not hide his dismay and disappointment.

Because of the tens of thousands of defenders and men in the pass, there were only more than 2,000 people who retreated along with him. As for the Weirong Army under Yang Sheng who came to rush to help, they were only more than 3,000 people who had completed the original incomplete organization. After several bluffing counterattacks failed, only more than 1,400 people were left to retreat.

However, when they were working together, new differences inevitably arose. Yang Sheng, who was covered in dust and dirt on his robe, grabbed Zheng Junxiong's new mount without hesitation and said:

"I dare to ask where to go to the next step of defense..."

"Of course I'm going back to the state city to reorganize the army and fight again..."

Zheng Junxiong also replied with an unpleasant expression:

"Defense should abandon Chengdu and Xingzai just now?"

Yang Sheng asked a little reluctantly:

"It's outrageous. I'm also trying to fight against the thieves. As the responsibility of defending the territory, do you have to sit idly by and watch the thieves rage the state?"

Zheng Junxiong also said angrily: After suffering this defeat, he had decided to return north to Deyang City, Hanzhou, which is the foundation. At least there was enough household registration and financial resources there to restore some strength to recruit troops and restore more things.

"I still don't let go, the thief is imminent. Do you want you and I to do the last battle here before we can finish it?"

Zheng Junxiong threatened with an increasingly ugly face:

"you!...."

Seeing Yang Sheng who was so angry that he was suddenly shocked, he found that the Hanzhou soldiers who had moved to the point of hearing this were already half surrounded by the surroundings; then they were surrounded by the Wei Rong soldiers who arrived later, showing a certain tense and imminent momentum.

So, in the end, he gave up his plan to persuade and stop Zheng Junxiong from leaving, but he led his troops southward without stopping. At least in his thoughts, the news that Lutou Pass was still lost to the next few reinforcements was timely so that all the forces could be gathered together and a battle of united defense around Chengdu Prefecture.

In a sense, he is also one of the most determined irons in the Sanchuan army to protect the Tang Dynasty. Because he was originally a military academy that was born into the Fengxiang Army's descendants. Because Li Changfu initiated the military transformation that expelled the prime minister Zheng Ting, who was in charge of Fengtian; and after surrendering to the New Dynasty of the Great Qi that had joined Huang Chao, he began to liquidate their subordinates who were loyal to the court.

Among them, because he received a message from Li Changfu's concubine Zhou, he led a group of old troops to the south to join the Sanguan camp and became a Dutou, who was transferred to the Shence Army. Then he gradually stood out in the war to pacify Sanchuan, and with his courage and military strategy to attack Chengdu's walls several times, he became one of the new generals under Yang Fugong's command.

However, he was always unwilling to recognize Yang Fugong as his adoptive father and rejected him, so he was suppressed for a while and arranged to take charge of the wild and barren Qiang land. After the emperor rectified the situation, he, like the generals under the command of the Yang family, who were suppressed and persecuted in disguise, became one of the few targets of reused and promoted.

Therefore, he sincerely wanted to repay the support and respect for the king and father, and worked hard to manage the army and train troops without leaving any money; he only wanted to follow Guo (Ziyi) Fenyang and Li (Shuo) Liang Kingdom in this chaotic world, to protect and restore the good ministers and generals of the Tang Dynasty, and to ascend to the list of heroic officials portraits of Lingyan Pavilion.
