Fu Baoguo is a veteran in battle. Although he hopes to rescue the old marshal, he still does not use all the troops at hand for rescue. Instead, he leaves half of the iron cavalry behind. After all, his important responsibility now is to build a Another iron-skeletal barrier will continue to intercept Dongxuan's invasion to the greatest extent!
However, the current war situation has changed, and the situation is very different. With Yun Yang's strong entry into the battle, our own morale has increased exponentially, especially since the Nationalist Army and half of the iron cavalry have joined the remnants of the old marshal. We must now Try your best, otherwise it is very likely that not only the remnants of the old marshal will not be rescued, but the Patriot Army and half of the iron cavalry will also be buried with them!
At that time, the gain would not be worth the loss, and it would also greatly damage our own combat power in building a new line of defense. How could we resist Dongxuan's army for a long time!
However, judging from the current situation, the morale of the Yutang side has soared unprecedentedly. Not only can the remnants of the old marshal be rescued, but the first half of the iron cavalry will not suffer too much damage to the national army. Moreover, the current situation is quite favorable to Yutang, so it is possible that Taking the opportunity to counterattack Dongxuan and weakening his energy will be of great benefit to the continuation of the subsequent battle!
In view of this, Fu Baoguo decided to go all out and launch a general attack!
Seeing Fu Baoguo's actions, Yun Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He took out a few bottles of elixirs from the ring, three pills for each person, and gave them to Bai Yixue and others. At this time, everyone had already gone to Qi Kongli. At the stage of exhaustion, it was just a breath of support to stimulate the vitality of the dry river. Seeing the good medicine suddenly appeared, he naturally swallowed it in one gulp.
But this was obviously not the time for greetings. After taking a breath, everyone gathered their remaining strength and rushed out, charging and killing all the way.
At the right time, Dongxuan's army had no commander to issue orders and had no way to deal with it. It was actually in chaos, just like a mess.
When Zhan Song returned to another flag fight, intending to continue to send out command signals and regroup, he saw that the Yutang army had merged into a furious dragon and rushed away!
Yutang successfully broke out of the encirclement and left the world!
Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Zhan Ge came down in disgrace and ran all the way. When he arrived in front of Han Shanhe, he said with some complaints: "Teacher, why are you..."
I just said a few words, but I felt that my tone was too strong and disrespectful. It was definitely not the way I should speak to the teacher, so I subconsciously stopped talking.
Han Shanhe smiled: "You want to ask me why I didn't take over the command just now, right?"
Zhan Song nodded.
In the battle to chase Qiu Jianhan just now, Han Shanhe never intervened and handled the whole process by himself.
In fact, since breaking out of the west gate of Iron Bone Pass, Han Shanhe gave up commanding the army and handed over all power to the war singers.
"Qiu Jianhan is several years older than me..."
Han Shanhe looked at the fluttering flags in the air and sighed in despair, saying: "In terms of military career alone, my seniors, in particular, are each other's confidants who have fought for their entire lives..."
"Previously, I had no choice but to follow your plan and used a sneak attack to severely injure Qiu Jianhan. At that time, I already felt helpless... Now, I really can't bear to see this lifelong enemy and rival... die so tragically. On the battlefield...especially...dead on the battlefield with no bones left and heads missing..."
Han Shanhe's voice contained too many sighs.
Zhan Ge was stunned when he heard this.
Suddenly, he seemed to understand Han Shanhe's thoughts, and his heart was shocked.
Death on the battlefield is the fate of every soldier, and it is also the highest honor of a soldier.
But... it definitely doesn't include having your head cut off in a daze when you have no power to fight back!
That is definitely the biggest shame for a soldier, a shame that is hard to wash away!
The most suitable ending for a hero is to die in a fierce battle on the battlefield, but he should never lie there unconscious with his last breath after being attacked by a sneak attack, and then be beheaded to serve as a military merit. !
Today's Qiu Jianhan might as well be tomorrow's Han Shanhe, or even the Zhan Song himself at that time!
The teacher probably saw himself in Qiu Jianhan, right
The war song of comparing one's heart to one's heart is thoughtful!
"Since ancient times, famous generals have been like beauties!" Han Shanhe sighed sadly: "No white hair is allowed to be seen in the world. Qiu Jianhan... his beard and hair are all white... ah... "
The pause in the middle of this sentence made Zhan Song's heart feel like he was being hit hard by a hammer.
Yes, whether it is a generation of military gods or legendary commanders, they are bound to retreat from the long river of history; their glorious time... will only last for a few decades at most!
Like Qiu Jianhan, like a teacher, he is already an extremely lucky existence!
"This battle, Yutang has been defeated, and there is no room for improvement." Han Shanhe said sadly: "I believe that even if Qiu Jianhan can temporarily save his life... After all, he will not live for a few more days. Zhan Song, why must we give up?" Where is the head of a generation of heroes? No matter how hateful he is when facing the enemy, and it gives you a lot of headaches, it is undeniable in any case that he is a respectable opponent, and a hero worthy of remembrance by everyone, especially soldiers! "
Zhan Ge was ashamed, bowed and said yes, and no longer struggled with this matter.
…
there.
In the chaos, Yun Yang and others finally protected Qiu Jianhan's carriage and arrived at Fu Baoguo's camp.
Fu Baoguo rushed over immediately and asked with a look of anxiety on his face: "How is the old marshal? Is it any trouble?"
Yun Yang sighed, his mood was equally heavy, not inferior to Fu Baoguo's, but more so.
In fact, he was also about to ask this question. He had already wanted to ask when he just rushed over.
But he didn't dare ask. He was afraid, really afraid, lest he heard news that he couldn't bear again!
I have lost so much!
I don’t want to lose it anymore, I can’t lose it anymore, I can’t lose it anymore!
God!
This question that had been lingering in Yun Yang's mind for a long time was asked by Fu Baoguo. He clenched his fists tightly, but his ears stood up, listening nervously, listening to the inevitable answer!
"The old marshal was seriously injured at this time. He was first attacked by the demon archer Jin Wudang during the decisive battle at Ximen and was hit by an arrow..." Bai Yixue's face was full of shame. After all, Qiu Jianhan was here. Under his protection, he was attacked by secret arrows.
In any case, it is a shameful and humiliating thing that cannot be washed away because of his poor protection.
"... That Jin Wudang has also been killed by me in the rebel army... "
Bai Yixue said weakly, but received a sharp look from Yun Yang.
Demon archer Jin Wudang has always been known as the best arrow in the world.
Weapons such as arrows have always been used exclusively in the military. Very few people in the world also use bows and arrows as weapons. Even if they do use bows and arrows occasionally, they are just incidental and rarely used skillfully.
But this magic archer Jin Wudang is different.
Because his most important and only weapon is the bow and arrow!
This is also his only means of attack. All his skills are tied to the bow and arrow in his hand!
According to legend, this man's archery skills have been cultivated to the point of perfection; the most powerful bows in the army are only six stones; even the God-killing bow, which requires a cultivator with a high level of profound energy to use, can only be used by a ten-stone bow. That’s all.
Because such a strong bow is almost the limit that the human body can bear, and it is also the limit that can be continuously driven by human power.
However, the powerful bow equipped by this magic archer is made of star wood as the main trunk and dragon sinew as the string.
Someone has measured that it takes at least thirty stones of strength to fully draw this bow.
When an arrow is fired from this bow, the speed of fire is so fast that it becomes invisible. Even the naked eyes of a mystical practitioner of the Dzogchen level in the mountain realm may not be able to catch it.
According to legend, only after his arrow has hit the target, he still has to pause for a moment before the sound of the sharp arrow whizzing through the air can be conveyed. The shooting speed is actually faster than the speed of sound!
It just so happened that Jin Wudang was not only an archer, but also an assassin.
This time, even Bai Yixue didn't expect that in order to defeat Yutang's army as quickly as possible, Dongxuan's side actually invited this magic archer to specifically target Qiu Jianhan, and they successfully succeeded!
Even if Bai Yixue showed off his power and killed the demon archer afterwards, the old general would be severely injured in the hands of this demon archer. It is a fact!
"How could things be like this?"
When Yun Yang heard that he was just attacked by a sneak attack, he felt relieved: "I'm going to see the old marshal. By the way, Baiyi, come in and tell me, what on earth is going on?"
For Yun Yang, who possesses the magical power of endless life, there are few internal and external injuries that he cannot cope with. Even if Lu Lu is gone and the vitality of life is gone, Yun Yang is still confident that he can turn the old marshal out of danger.
…
However, after the city was burned down by flames that day, Qiu Jianhan led the remaining troops all the way out of the city, then built a high ground at the west gate, and even set up a formation fifty feet away from the west gate!
It was a choke formation, and it was also the location of the second natural danger of Iron Bone Pass.
If Dongxuan wants to enter the hinterland of Yutang, he must pass through Iron Bone Pass.
There are only two gates in Tieguguan Pass, which has been the case from the beginning, one east gate and one west gate!
You have broken through the east gate, but as long as I guard the west gate exit, you still can't do whatever you want, and there is no way forward!
The reality was just as Marshal Qiu had expected. Although the Dongxuan army was stationed at Tieguguan, when they rushed out from the west gate with the intention of riding Yutang, they encountered a powerful blow from Qiu Jianhan!
Under Qiu Jianhan's strong command, the entire Ximen area turned into a desperate situation. Dongxuan's army wanted to seize the power of new victory and rushed forward with all their heart. Little did they expect that a huge change had already occurred outside. Some Dongxuan soldiers really died as many as they came out!
The ring formation set up by Qiu Jianhan and his troops could be described as a killing formation, with extremely lethal power. Anyone who comes out of the west gate, no matter which direction they come from, cannot avoid being shot by bows and arrows!
After all, Ximen is such a big place, and there are only so many people who can come out at one time.
It is determined that it will not be able to form a strong combat effectiveness in a short period of time, so the only option is to let the slaughter go.
However, this situation only lasted for one day, and Dongxuan's extremely passive situation was broken.
Han Shanhe ordered that the west gate of Tieguguan Pass be demolished, and even the city wall was knocked down!
The west wall was gone, and Dongxuan soldiers and horses rushed out like a tide. The killing array constructed by Qiu Jianhan no longer had targeted power, so it was naturally difficult to be effective. However, Marshal Qiu would rather die than retreat, and deliberately sacrificed himself to serve the country. Buying time to build another Iron Bone Pass defense line, under the old marshal's efforts day and night to direct the troops to fight fiercely, the battle lasted for three days, and the Dongxuan army was actually contained!
However, after three days, the old marshal's 50,000 troops were reduced to less than 10,000, and it was no longer possible to accomplish anything.
But Qiu Jianhan seems to have made up his mind. Since the Iron Bone Pass is gone, I have no intention of going back alive.
He has been fighting on the front line, no matter how Shangguan Lingxiu, Bai Yixue, Yunhou and others persuaded him, Qiu Jianhan just refused to leave!
His Jiang Gui nature is old and spicy; once he has made up his mind, no god can make him change his mind.
Seeing that Marshal Qiu will be buried here with his men, a turning point comes!
It was at this time that Dongxuan dispatched assassins, targeting the old marshal!
The most famous one among them was the demon archer Jin Wudang; when a new round of fierce battle between the army was going on, Jin Wudang, who was wearing a soldier's uniform and hiding among the soldiers and horses, waited for an opportunity to approach Qiu Jianhan.
The life-saving arrows came at extremely fast speeds. Finally, Bai Yixue was keenly aware of the danger and intervened with her sword at the critical moment, but in the end it was a little too late. The arrow was only slightly deflected.
But fortunately there was this slight deviation, otherwise the arrow would have pierced Qiu Jianhan's heart directly!
In the end, the arrow made a hole in Qiu Jianhan's body, and shot through his chest and back!
Qiu Jianhan was seriously injured and critically injured!
Bai Yixue was filled with grief and anger, so she fought straight into Dongxuan's army with her sword. In the midst of thousands of troops, she fiercely pursued and killed the demon archer Jin Wudang until she chopped the demon archer into minced meat, even intending to retaliate in kind. , forcibly killed Dongxuan's general, and because of this, Dongxuan's previous Tonggui tactics, the jade-shattering tactics, were triggered. Bai Yixue finally retreated, resenting the injustice.
Bai Yixue's killing spree allowed Yutang to survive the fierce battle that day. However, Yutang finally lost Qiu Jianhan's command. Without Qiu Jianhan's command, Yutang's side was defeated like a mountain. It was destined; even if Shangguan Lingxiu raised the banner of general and worked hard to rectify the remaining army, it was only a slight improvement and could not cope with the Dongxuan army that kept pouring out like the tide of Hanshan River!
Marquis Yun made a decisive decision and immediately ordered the entire army to break out of the encirclement and evacuate at night. Since nothing could be done, he should preserve as much of his combat power as possible and return to Fu Baoguo's side to join forces to fight against Dongxuan and shake Hanshanhe!
Naturally, Dongxuan's army refused to let him go lightly. They pursued him from behind and quickly surrounded the remaining troops of Qiu Jianhan. At the critical moment, the two groups of cavalry who had been wandering in the surrounding mountains and forests finally couldn't bear it anymore and would rather disobey Fu. The military order to serve the country also rushed out to respond.
The two sides merged into one place, fought and retreated, and then finally managed to get Yun Yang's help; and then joined Fu Baoguo's army stationed at the foot of Tianxuan Cliff.
Therefore, the battle between Yutang and Dongxuan begins a new chapter!
…
Yun Yang quickly entered the tent and saw Qiu Jianhan lying upright on a simple marching gun at a glance. His body was covered in blood and there were several wounds on his face. His flesh and blood were rolled up and looked extremely hideous.
Yun Yang didn't even feel the old marshal's breathing. If it weren't for the slow and weak rise and fall of his chest, Yun Yang would have almost doubted whether the old marshal had no way to save himself and was gone.
Under the dim light, the old marshal's white beard was stained with blood, lying there quietly. Yun Yang's eyes became hot and he almost shed tears.
This old marshal, who had devoted his whole life to Yutang, looked so miserable and helpless at this moment.
