The difficulty of the road of Shu is difficult to climb to the blue sky, making people listen to this withered beauty!
When Lianfeng goes to the sky, there is no surging ruler, and withered pine hangs upside down and leans against the cliff.
The turbulent waterfall competes for noise, and the cliffs turn to rocks and thunder.
The danger is also the same, and those who are far away are here to stay!
"The Road to Shu is Difficult"
Tang Dynasty: Li Bai
—I am the dividing line —
"The narrow mountain here is high, with twists and turns, and it is dangerous and difficult to climb; as long as it is properly arranged at the dangerous point, even the bow and crossbow firearms cannot be stretched. Only brave troops can be drawn. If the Lord (Liu Chan) had this proof, then Why do you bind yourself to the north?"
Before Li Hanzhi's sighs fell, he heard the sudden killing on the mountain wall in front of him; with the golden drums and flags raised and waving high on the cliff, falling rocks like rain crashed down from the mountain wall, and suddenly The front team where Li Cunzhang was in was drowned in the smoke and dust.
However, the Taiping Army suddenly lost the former team, but they regrouped in a row amidst the sound of the whistle. They began to shrink back in an orderly manner, trying to get out of the rockfall area. However, as the smoke and dust billowed on the face, the friction between the dense armor and weapons and the sound of running away,
When the smoke and dust quickly dissipated, I saw that in the deep valley behind the tortuous gorge ahead, the water that had been filled up by the long spear and shield like a forest like a wall could not leak; and on the high cliffs, except for falling rocks and rolling logs. , Surprisingly, there are people holding bows and crossbows, and they shoot out a rain of arrows that are like locusts.
Suddenly, this Taiping army deep into the gorge road seemed to be caught in the predicament of being attacked back and forth. Deep down, some people fell to the ground with arrows, and some were hit by dropped rocks, but the remaining Taiping soldiers showed incredible tenacity and order.
They dragged and rescued the fallen robe beside them, placing them under the slightly covered rocks; on the other hand, they raised their hands and spears along the drums between the alternate benches without interruption; or In the voice of the command, he quickly pulled out the medicine, opened the reed, and filled the portable firecracker; the next moment, the first wave of uneven counterattack came out.
Although due to the limitations of the deep canyon road, in the hastily formed shield formation, only dozens of side-by-side firecrackers can be launched; however, under an oncoming round of radiation, they successfully penetrated and knocked down the opposing shield. After a few figures behind the wall, he had to stop for a while.
The soldiers at the back did not hesitate to assume the responsibility of assisting in loading. I saw that they were passing it layer by layer almost without interruption, delivering the filled firecrackers to the front row one after another, and then delivering the firecrackers shot to the back to the rear team like water.
And as the continuous blasting sound and fireworks spread, more firecrackers were able to join the sequence of shooting against the upper cover and reverse confrontation under the cover of the raised hand.
Although the upward firing angle and the dense vegetation on the top of the cliff obviously weaken the power and hit rate; but with so many firearms successively lasing, those ambushes who placed arrows and slings from high ground also followed the spine. The figure underneath began to show obvious casualties, and reduced the frequency of projected attacks before having to hide.
At this time, those enemy formations that were directly fired by the continuous firecrackers, after paying for the corpses and wounded lying down all the way, directly counteracted the spears and big shields in front of the Taiping army; in an instant, they stabbed each other head-on. The spear and spear that passed the gap between the opponent's shield wall and the hand card left a spot of staggered corpses in the screams.
However, the first soldiers of both sides are in the narrow terrain, and there is not much room for maneuvering and dodge. Instead, they can only smash their swords and spears into the opponent under the force of pushing and squeezing back and forth. Or was sent to the opponent's spear tip and blade again.
However, amidst the intense clamor of thorns, hacking, blocking and roaring; seeing that the white soldiers from the Taiping Army fell into the wind less and less; the hand of the spear and big shield in the front row of the opposing officer suddenly appeared. There came screams and screams and fell to the ground one after another;
It was the gunsmen who had lost their weapons who directly pulled out the spurs in the holsters on their legs, and their bodies rolled out from the gap below the spears, and the piercings cut off the legs and feet that the front row officers and soldiers could not protect. Tendons.
Although they were quickly killed and wounded on the spot by knives and guns placed diagonally from the official army, they also bought a moment and buffer for the colleagues in the rear. In this short moment, another group of guns quickly completed the loading, and they stretched out across the shoulders and armpits of their robes almost face to face, and radiated towards the officers and soldiers close at hand.
This time, the dense radiation that is not blocked by a neat shield wall is like interrupting the oncoming enemy formation and then back-shooting it back; the lead shot out from approaching is almost at the same time popping and exploding. Tufts of blood ran through a number of shoulders, chests, abdomen, necks and heads in the crowd, and caused intensive and considerable casualties.
But this is just the beginning. As the squeezing force of the officers and soldiers was interrupted, and they had to try to disengage and retreat, the next moment they had to regroup, the peacekeepers who had completed their changes and rotations in the back team moved one after another. When he did it, he threw the ball and bottle with green smoke into Qu into the array of officers and soldiers not far away.
With these spheres that bounced on top of their heads, shoulders, shields, and between their legs and feet, the moment they finally burst and exploded, it was like a bunch of people blooming in these dense crowds of people rubbing shoulders. After another, the black and red flesh and blood like a spray; the fragments of the fragments and the red mist of blood were wrapped in the smoke and rose up, and then splashed between the enemy and us nearby. .
All of a sudden, the Taiping soldiers whose heads and faces turned red and their morale energized with spears and guns redoubled their efforts to fight forward, while the enemy formation, which was dyed in red, was swayed by the helplessness and the call of surprise. In chaos. . . And when the soldiers in the back team almost tried their best, they pushed a mountain cannon full of shotguns forward and pulled the lead rope against the reconciled enemy after the coaxing retreat. The results of the ambush and encounter are no more surprises.
I don't know how long it has passed, and the gurgling stream of the rocky stream has turned into a thick and inexhaustible red under the misty mountain springs. Li Cunzhang, who had survived the previous bombardment by falling rocks, with only one arm folded, was also a little sluggish and numb looking at the mountain canyon road that looked like a dead corpse.
In the close quarters between the enemy and our battlefield, the corpses are piled up and stacked, but as the bloody and firework traces of the battle spread farther, the corpses in the cyan robe became less and less, and the scarlet and soapy colors The corpses of the officers and soldiers were piled up more and more; finally, even the narrowest part of the bottom of the valley was blocked, forming an extremely high "dam".
At this time, being Li Hanzhi was indeed quite new shock and astonishment. As the leader of the team, he hadn't even come to order or direct them to do something, he spontaneously launched a basic defensive formation amidst the casualties that were falling to the ground, and counterattacked the ambushing enemy. .
In the next battle, he didn't have the chance to plan how to make such a fly; the battle ended by itself in a more intense way. At this moment, Li Hanzhi suddenly remembered the parting words of Yang Shihou from the old ministry: "My lord, the times have changed..."
Now he finally understood it thoroughly. With such powerful firearms sweeping across the army, where is there room for how many former martial artists can punish their courage? No matter how tyrannical martial arts and fighting skills are, after all, it is just a mortal body that can't stop the blast of guns.
But in any case, after defeating the most dangerous Harrier Jian ambush, the gate leading to the Chengdu Plain in the hinterland of Xichuan, only the last sword pavilion is left. (End of this chapter)
