Hello Chang’an

Chapter 609: The **** battle at the gate

After coming out of the meeting hall, the sun was setting to the west. Changsun Fu walked upright and said to Changsun Ji: "Master, there is no need to worry about me."

"In terms of age, the head of the family is still several months younger than me. Over the years, he has gone through a lot of training for the affairs of the clan, and he has also taken risks to choose the leader for the clan. On the contrary, it is me, the cousin, who She has always been protected in the house behind her." Changsun Fu said: "The head of the family must not forget that the glory of the Changsun family has always been closely related to women."

"It is not just a man's right to work hard for the future of the clan and even risk his life. When a job is put in front of you, whoever is more suitable will do it." She looked at the setting red sun: "My sister-in-law and I have always been the same. idea.”

The sister-in-law she talks about is Zhang Sunxuan, who is only two years older than her but died young.

It doesn't matter who they marry. Marriage is the chain that binds them in the world, but it can also be turned into a sharp knife in their hands.

Thinking of everything she had to face next, Changsun Fu's eyes were not only fearless, but were instead dyed with a ray of crimson intensity by the setting sun.

"Sister, don't worry. I will do my best to protect you." There was a promise in Changsun Ji's eyes, which seemed to include the protection he had failed to implement for his sister-in-law in the past, so he even showed a bit of stubbornness.

"Okay." Changsun Fu smiled at him: "Aji, let's fight side by side and win this battle together."

The afterglow shone on the figures of the two young siblings, coating them with a layer of shimmering gold powder.

Not long after, Changsun Ji turned his head and looked to the north. His family was now on the "battlefield", and he, the leader chosen by his family, was now on the other side of a battlefield that was thousands of times more dangerous.

The Crown Princess acted deviantly from common sense, and many members of the clan were suspicious of this, but he had a completely different view.

Just like what she said in the Confucius Temple when she used herself as bait to reveal the real murderer of his sister-in-law to the world, holding the sacrificial inscription in her **** hands:

[Just like when the window is widened, the light of heaven enters, and the mind is open, all good things will come out. Thank you very much for your willingness to hold on to a just heart and prove the way to all good things. 】

That scene back then was enough for him to remember for the rest of his life. The impact of the justice that he dared to face the emperor to demand for justice boiled his blood and has never cooled down to this day.

She is now guarding the entrance to Tianguang, and her sincerity towards justice in the world, which has never changed due to her status, should be the reason for him to be more determined.

In the Northland at the end of July, the summer heat has subsided, but the murderous intent has become more intense. After each battle, the flesh is thin and the bones are combined, and the liver and marrow are running wild.

The battle to attack and defend the pass has never stopped. The intensity of the battle is the highest in the past twenty years, far better than the battle led by Chang Kuo sixteen years ago.

As wounded soldiers kept retreating from the front line, the defense deployment at various passes was adjusted frequently, and Shuofang also sent 10,000 troops and horses for reinforcements.

The battle situation in Longyou was also very tense. Although most of them were small-scale raids, due to the long battle front, it was often hard to guard against them. There were always fish caught in the trap. Fortunately, there was still the barrier of Yumen Pass as a barrier.

At the same time, Longyou must also be wary of Tubo's movements in the south - under Cui Jing's instruction, half of the troops and horses in Longyou Road were used to guard against and intimidate Tibet, in case the Tibet might take advantage of the situation.

On this day, Beidi's coach Asde Yuanli learned the lesson of repeated battles without victory. After adjusting his strategy, he once again attacked the Yinshan Pass with heavy troops. Li Suining and Cui Jing led their troops to resist.

While the soldiers from both sides were fighting fiercely here, at another remote and dangerous pass a hundred miles to the west of this pass, there was another menacing Beidi cavalry approaching.

This Beidi cavalry numbered nearly 20,000 people, rolling in between the canyons and mountain roads. In the flying dust, it was vaguely visible that the battle flag pattern of the leader came from the Wukui tribe of the Beidi tribe.

There are twelve tribes in Beidi, and each tribe consists of at least two surname groups. Due to serious divisions among the tribes in recent years, some clans have begun to try to stand on their own. Now there are more than twelve tribal forces that have split off, but they are still collectively referred to as the Twelve Tribes for the time being.

As one of the twelve tribes, the Wukui Tribe is one of the oldest and most powerful tribes in Beidi. This time they sent more than 10,000 troops. Their current leader is named Nienu, and he is a famous brave man in Beidi.

In the past two years, the Wukui tribe has shown faint signs of unwillingness to obey the Khan's orders. Only because of the success of this attack, Ninu was willing to temporarily obey the orders of Ashide Yuanli.

The failure to attack for a long time and the frustration and irritation of losing troops and generals made Nienu gradually become dissatisfied with Asteh Yuanli. This dissatisfaction gradually could not be reconciled. Nienu began to be unwilling to follow Asteh Yuanli on the march and be called upon by him.

In addition to his own tribe, Nienu also gathered several other small tribes and broke away from Aste Yuanli's team.

In the past few days, Niennu's scouts discovered that the defense at the western pass here had become weak, so they took advantage of Asteh Yuanli to attract most of Sheng's army. Ninu immediately ordered a surprise attack at the pass here.

The pass here is more steep and difficult to attack, but in Niennu's view, they have nearly 20,000 cavalry, which is enough to level this weakly defended pass!

Nienu's eyes were full of fighting spirit. As he galloped on his horse, he saw the pass in front of him. He raised his sword and shouted: "Kill!"

As he gave the order, high-pitched shouts of death came from behind, along with thousands of horses galloping towards him.

"-Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The rapid drumbeats of Sheng's army were like raindrops beating on the lake surface, creating waves in circles.

Chang Sui Anti, who had been waiting here for a long time, mounted his horse and shouted loudly: "Meet the enemy!"

Behind him, He Wuhu mounted his horse, his tiger eyes full of murderous intent: "His grandpa, these Hu Suns are really coming here!"

As he mounted his horse, He Wuhu said in a rough voice: "Brothers, follow me and kill the enemy! Today we will make sure that these thieves and their descendants will never come back!"

"-Kill the enemy!"

The vanguard cavalry, led by Chang Sui'an, poured out like a tide.

Nienu saw the situation and quickly realized something was wrong.

The deputy general next to him was also surprised and said in Beidi language: "... Chief, the information seems to be wrong!"

This does not appear to be a weak defense, it is clear that an ambush was set up in advance!

Setting up an ambush here was an arrangement made by Li Suining and Cui Jing after discussing with the military advisers.

Disagreement within the Beidi army has emerged, and there are bound to be some people who are no longer willing to obey Asteh Yuanli's orders and launch separate raids -

Before a raid, there must be an investigation. Instead of being caught off guard by the opponent, it is better to proactively show weakness and lead the inevitable enemy into a controllable area.

But this "controllability" is only compared to the situation of being caught off guard, but does not mean that Sheng Jun is definitely sure of winning.

Before this, they could not accurately predict how many soldiers and horses the opponent would launch for a surprise attack. The 20,000 soldiers and horses on the opponent's side were undoubtedly an extremely ferocious offensive. Chang Sui'an also had 20,000 troops, but only 7,000 of them were cavalry. This was the maximum number that Li Suining could allocate to him.

Chang Sui'an has great ambitions in this battle. Not only does he want to defend this level, but he also wants to seize the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on this Beidi army to the maximum extent, dispelling their vigor in one fell swoop and letting them roll back to the desert with their tail between their legs!

Seeing that there was an ambush here, Niennu was angry at the cunning people, but he had no intention of retreating.

He was convinced that even if Sheng's army set up an ambush here, the available troops would not be enough to crush them... In this case, just kill them!

Since the two sides have fought so far, everyone alive has the blood of the other side's soldiers on their hands. They not only have victory or defeat in the war, but also have blood feuds between their comrades. This hatred intensified each other's murderous intent, and almost everyone brandished their swords in an angry gesture.

Sheng Jun's fighting spirit was beyond the Beidi Army's expectations.

After fighting one battle after another, they always thought that the morale of these Sheng troops must be almost exhausted, but in the next battle, the passionate morale of the Sheng troops did not decrease but increased.

Ashide Yuanli said, this is the fighting spirit of Xuance Army.

At this time, Niennu looked at the vanguards wearing black armor in the chaotic and fierce battle, and his eyes gradually locked on a tall and brave figure.

Soon, he ordered people to clear a **** path, and then personally led an elite group to surround and attack them, heading straight towards the young general.

Chang Sui'an did not flinch and faced Nirnu with a spear.

Before this, he had taken the head of a Beidi tribe leader, but the person in front of him was obviously more difficult to deal with.

Chang Sui'an was good at wielding a spear. During the fight, a look of surprise and admiration gradually appeared in Nien Nu's eyes, and at the same time, his fighting spirit became more intense.

While Chang Sui'an was fighting with him, more and more Beidi troops were fighting around him, and the Sheng army behind Chang Sui'an was constantly falling off their horses. He Wuhu saw the situation here from a distance and secretly thought A voice: "No!"

The Beidi traitor is not trying to challenge General Chang Xiao in a one-on-one fight, but is preparing to encircle and kill him!

After several years of hard work, Chang Sui Anjin is no longer a rash person. However, the pass here is narrow and the position used to face the enemy is not wide. It is impossible to set up a rigorous and clear military formation to ensure that the generals are always in the center. among the list. Once the two sides started fighting, they would soon be trapped in a battle situation where you have me and you have me.

In such a battle, in order to boost morale, Chang Sui'an had no reason to retreat.

Chang Sui'an was already aware that he was being gradually surrounded, but he had no choice. If he turned around and broke out at this time, he would only expose his back to Niennu and speed up his defeat.

It's not that Chang Sui'an has never thought about death. It is normal for soldiers to die on the battlefield.

He is not afraid of death. If he must die, the only thing he has to do is to take away more and stronger enemies!

Chang Sui'an gradually became red-eyed. As his comrades around him fell to the ground one after another, he not only had to deal with Nie Nu's attack and killing, but also had to take care of the killing power from both sides at the same time.

The spear in Chang Sui'an's hand once again knocked a Beidi soldier off his horse. Before he could fully retract the spear, a long knife thrust from the side cut off the barrel of his gun.

Chang Sui'an's arm was also lifted by this force. His eyes changed, and he pulled out the long sword from behind with his left hand at the same time. But the next moment, two Beidi soldiers stabbed the horse under him with a spear from the rear side. !

The war horse neighed, struggled and ran for a few steps, then fell to the ground with a broken leg.

Chang Sui'an rolled twice on the ground, and the phoenix-winged helmet on his head fell off. When he stood up quickly with his sword on the ground, the Beidi war horses were quickly approaching him. The Beidi people on the horses were shouting, Holding spears and swinging knives, they all stabbed at him.

Changsui Anxin, who was already covered in blood, stood up, determined to die together, and was about to face the horse in the front with his sword. Suddenly, at the critical moment, someone cut a **** path and broke into the encirclement. The horse stretched out a hand to him: "General Chang, get on the horse!"

The person coming was none other than He Wuhu.

Chang Sui An Dang handed over his hand, jumped on the horse's back, turned around and sat on the horse, and He Wuhu was each other's back, fighting together.

He Wuhu led several elites to kill first. There were still Sheng troops outside trying to rescue them, but more and more Beidi troops were surrounding them. The two sides were fighting layer by layer, filled with blood and sand, and horseshoes trampled the remains of corpses. , the position kept changing and moving, and everyone inside could no longer tell the direction.

He Wuhu and Chang Sui'an were both injured, and their bodies and faces were covered in blood.

A spear was stabbed from the side. Chang Sui'an swung his sword to narrowly block He Wuhu, but someone took the opportunity to slash his left shoulder and arm.

He Wuhu yelled "drive" angrily, brandished his gun and spurred his horse forward.

He Wuhu almost desperately led Chang Sui'an out of the way.

Just when he saw more silhouettes of his own soldiers and horses in front of him, there were sharp arrows flying towards him from behind.

Chang Sui'an kept waving his sword from behind to resist, but after all, the sword blade could resist only so much. Following Nienu's order, those arrows instantly became dense like rain.

Changsui An, who had been hit by an arrow in front of him, dropped his sword and leaned forward, about to fall off his horse.

He Wuhu suddenly slowed down the horse, and at the same time released his grip on the reins. He grabbed Chang Sui An with both hands. He gritted his teeth and used his best strength to drag Chang Sui An, who was already half hanging on the horse's belly. He stood up and placed himself on the horse in front of him.

The arrows from behind were still coming, and the horse's hooves were running wildly. He Wuhu lowered his body to protect Chang Sui'an who was lying in front of him. He stared straight ahead with almost weeping eyes and tried his best to drive the horse.

Finally, as Sheng Jun joined in and interrupted, the arrows behind him stopped.

When He Wuhu drove his horse and galloped in front of the soldiers who came to rescue him, the horse that was hit by an arrow under him fell overloaded.

He Wuhu and Chang Sui'an also fell down.

In the chaos, some Xuance troops rushed forward, and the rest quickly formed a protective circle around the two of them. Yuan Xiang quickly dismounted and took a look, only to see He Wuhu, who was still half-lying on Chang Sui'an, and then His back was filled with arrows!

But Chang Sui'an closed his eyes tightly, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Yuan Xiang lifted He Wuhu up with red eyes and handed it to his two colleagues: "Hurry and help General He and General Chang to the rear to bandage and stop the bleeding! Quick!"

The battle was still going on. Yuan Xiang could not be distracted and quickly mounted his horse to direct the battle.

Within the pass, there was a temporary medical tent set up, but there were too many injured soldiers, who were being helped or carried back in a steady stream. The few medical doctors were simply too busy, and many soldiers who could still take care of themselves helped each other to bandage. Stop bleeding. Some soldiers had just bandaged their wounds before they went into battle again with red eyes and swords in hand.

Qiao Yumian was also among the doctors. Changsui Anben did not allow her to come, so she disguised herself as a man and followed him secretly.

Qiao Yumian, who had dealt with countless wounded soldiers these days, thought she was calm enough. In order to keep herself awake, she deliberately did not look at the faces of the wounded soldiers. But when she heard the words "General Chang", her subordinates Still shaking, he suddenly turned his head to look.

good night, everyone.
