9. Shanhaiguan Bloody Battle
But tonight, the battle in Shanhaiguan was extremely tragic.
Under the moonlight, Kublai Khan used slaves as his front drive, Mongolian army as his rear army, and Xue Qi army as his army judge. A thousand Mongolian households rode on horseback and shouted: "Strike the key."
I saw tens of thousands of slaves dressed in various styles, carrying simple ladders, and carrying weapons of various varied rushing up.
An officer on Guanlou looked at the oncoming slave army without panic. He had already seen such a scene during the day. When the slave army approached, he calmly spoke: "Arrowman, aim, shoot arrows."
I saw small black dots flying out of the Guan Building, densely packed, and a "whizzing" sound. Suddenly, the slaves below were shot over, and a heart-wrenching scream sounded.
"Shoot the arrow", "Shoot the arrow", "Shoot the arrow again", the officer calmly spoke, the slaves were killed and injured again, screaming, and some timid slaves who were about to retreat were immediately killed by the Mongols who rushed up.
A thousand households riding on horseback shouted loudly: "You lowly slaves are the Khan who are kind and forgiven your lives. You dare not fight for the Khan without all your heart. I will repeat it again today. Those who dare to retreat without permission will be killed without mercy."
"Hurry up, drive these lowly slaves forward." After saying that, he pulled out his scimitar and led the man to drive the slaves forward.
This time, a new round of offensive and defensive war began, and even the Mongols' Hui Huans were added. Round after round of flying stones hit Shanhaiguan in the moonlight, and the casualties of the defenders on the city further increased.
The Mongols' indiscriminate attacks further increased the casualties of both sides. The corpses of slaves were piled up with the feet of Shanhaiguan. As soon as the flying stone hit Shanhaiguan, more than a dozen people were injured or died. The city was covered with blood and blood, which was so scary!
The bright moonlight shines on the earth, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, iron and fire breaking spears, one side attacking and the other side defending, each side tugs and wars, fighting and stalemate, both sides do not give in. This is a contest between iron and fire, this is the helplessness and luck of men on the battlefield, this is the battle of survival between nomadic peoples and farming peoples, and this is also the battle between the Khan and the Emperor!
At this time, Shanhaiguan is the closest place to life and death. He lives and dies without any compromise, and he cannot tolerate any luck. Everything looks so natural, with only the sound of killing between heaven and earth. This is the collision of life and life!
Heaven and earth are unkind, and they regard all things as straw dogs.
At this time, in a city tower in Shanhaiguan, an old general with clear edges, gray hair and a vicissitudes of life, wearing black iron armor, sat on his head, regardless of the blood on his body, under the dim oil lamp, trying hard to wipe the blood on the sword without saying a word!
A young general with a burly and tall body, black armor, dark face, sitting at the bottom of his head, said in a muffled voice: "Dad, do you think we can guard Shanhaiguan?"
The general sitting in the head was Zhang Yu, the commander of Shanhaiguan. When the old general heard this, he glared at the young general fiercely. This was his eldest son Zhang Tie, and scolded him: "In the army, call me a general, and you will not be matched by your father and son!"
He also said, "How could it not be defended? Shanhaiguan has 80,000 elite troops and abundant supplies. We are the master of guarding. How could these slaves break through Shanhaiguan? Don't say these words that shake the morale of the army, otherwise you will definitely be killed. Wait, the war has just begun. This is Kublai Khan's harbor in Shanhaiguan. The war tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are the most tragic. Have you ever seen a iron-blooded battlefield?"
Zhang Tie immediately fell asleep and was so timid that he didn't dare to speak.
Zhang Yu ignored him and said directly: "At this time, the center must have known my situation. There will be reinforcements within seven days. As long as we keep for six days, the reinforcements in the court will definitely arrive."
After hearing this, Zhang Tie nodded and said, "I know this. It's just that the new emperor has just ascended the throne and the country is unstable. I just don't know how many reinforcements will be sent. The reinforcements around Shanhaiguan are just dropping the bucket for us. I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve any effect, right?"
After hearing this, Zhang Yu said, "No, you guy has grown up."
Zhang Tie smiled when he heard this.
Zhang Yu said with some concern again: "It seems that reinforcements can only come from Yanjing."
"But no matter what, we must guard Shanhaiguan. Even if we die, we must die in Shanhaiguan!"
"It has been twenty years since I have been guarding Shanhaiguan for twenty years. It has been unchanged for three dynasties. The court court is worthy of my Zhang family, the big work is worthy of my Zhang family, and I, Zhang Yu, must also be worthy of the court court and the big work."
"I am loyal to the great work all my life. Even if I die, I will die in Shanhaiguan!"
"Besides, as a warrior, he died on the battlefield and was wrapped in a horse and corpse, which is the highest honor!"
...
At this time, the battle was about to break out fiercely. The Mongols came to an end in person. With the night and the fire, they mixed in the slaves, and with the help of cloud ladders, they desperately attacked the city gate!
The flying stone gradually weakened, and from time to time, Zhang Yu stood under the eaves of the city, with a serious face and shouted loudly: "Be careful, the Mongols are about to attack."
Taking advantage of the moonlight and the firelight on the city, Zhang Yu saw a black crowd of people approaching the city wall quickly. Zhang Yu calmly spoke: "Bow and arrow preparation."
"shoot."
A black arrow flew quickly below, and a scream suddenly came.
"Prepare", "Phot".
Another black arrow shot downwards, and another scream came.
"Prepare", "Phot".
Another black arrow shot downwards suddenly, and another scream came.
After a while, the Mongolians finally approached the city wall, built a ladder, and climbed up the clouds.
"Quick, golden juice, pour it down." Zhang Yu spoke calmly again.
The soldiers quickly picked up the pot and fell down the ladder. There were heart-wrenching screams coming from below.
"Be careful not to let the Mongols climb the city wall." Zhang Yu said calmly again.
Suddenly, from under the city wall to above the city, it became a battlefield for both sides, with scimitars against long swords, bows against bows and arrows... The two sides fought bloodyly together without any restraint, and there was no need to stop.
Both sides are rivals and have deep blood hatred. As a border guard, Shanhaiguan defenders, who have no relatives and friends, died at the hands of the Mongols. Some families have fathers and sons, and brothers and brothers have replaced each other. Therefore, everyone fights bravely and is not afraid of life and death!
The same is true for the Mongolians. They fought with Dakan several times, and I don’t know how many brothers died at the hands of Dakans.
Therefore, both sides regard each other as their own hatred, regard the other as the enemy of life and death, and as the enemy of the enemy, but the sword involuntarily went to the other side!
The war is getting more and more intense and tragic, and even the moonlight is pale.
I saw a soldier from the north, whose left hand was cut off, but without saying a word, and rolled down the city wall with the Mongolian soldiers who had just climbed up the wall. Another soldier climbed up the eaves and pushed the ladder down, an arrow flew from a distance and shot him from the front, and he fell down Shanhaiguan on the head. A Mongolian soldier had just climbed up the city wall. In order to protect this opening, he protected the ladder with his body. Even if he was cut to death by random knives, he still grabbed the ladder with one hand...
...
Kublai Khan in the distance was surrounded not far from Shanhaiguan, holding a monocular lens in his hand, carefully looking at the entire battlefield, and seeing that Mongolian soldiers could not capture it for a long time.
Then he spoke, "I ordered the Huihui Cannon to attack me indiscriminately, and I will exhaust the living power of Shanhaiguan."
A guard left after his order.
After a while, stones flew out of the sky and smashed towards the entire Shanhaiguan City. Suddenly, there were heavy casualties and injuries on Shanhaiguan, with enemies and me.
Kublai Khan watched all this, but laughed.
Zhang Yu, who was on Guancheng, had red eyes, his tiger eyes widened, and he roared angrily: "Hurry, use tinea oil."
Suddenly, the soldiers poured the turmeric oil down the ladder.
"ignition."
Suddenly, the fire burned up, and the more it became stronger and stronger, and it was isolated from the attacking and defending. The Mongolian soldiers who climbed the city wall were quickly killed by random knives. Suddenly, the entire city of Guan was silent.
...
The sky gradually became brighter, and the sun exposed half of its body from the mountains. The sun shone on the entire Shanhaiguan, emitting a layer of golden light.
The battle has come to an end for the time being!
Kublai Khan rode on his horse, walked out of the formation, and shouted: "Where is the Old General Zhang Yu?"
Zhang Yu stood on the wall and saw Kublai Khan, and he showed his body and said loudly: "I'm here, what's wrong with you?"
Kublai Khan looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Old General Zhang Yu, I have heard of the name of the general for a long time. Today, I am indeed well-known. The general has been stationed in Shanhaiguan for twenty years. He has worked hard without any credit. The Daqian royal family has almost forgotten you. As long as you surrender to me, I will make you king. We will enter Shanhaiguan and destroy Daqian. How about it?"
"Hahahaha, I, Zhang Yu, live as a person from Daqian, die as a ghost from Daqian! Kublai Khan, don't show off these words, just solve the problem quickly!" Zhang Yu said in public.
"Aren't you afraid of death? When I break through Shanhaiguan, there will be no need to leave any animals in the pass. Are you afraid?"
"Why are you born in Daqian and what are you afraid of death? If you are born in Daqian and grow up in Daqian, you should die for Daqian, be loyal to the country and be loyal to the emperor. This is the creed of our martial artists throughout our lives. When we are born as General Daqian, we should also be wrapped in horses and corpses when we die! I, Zhang Yu, will never regret being born in Daqian!" Zhang Yu roared angrily.
"Adjust the Great Qian and go to the national crisis together.
Blood will not flow dry, never fight
…”
Zhang Yu roared again, and the defenders of the city gate also shouted loudly: "Ran Daqian, let's go to the national crisis together. The blood will not flow, and the death will not stop..."
The louder the roar, the more roared the more neat, revealing a momentum that no one else can be but me, and showing a sense of courage that is not afraid of life and death!
After hearing the song, Kublai Khan returned to the formation on his horse and said, "Zhang Yu is a brave general and a loyal minister; Qian soldiers are elite soldiers!"
"Take a secret." Kublai Khan waved his hand.
The soldiers below rushed up.
Chapter completed!
