After dressing as a widow

In the past two years, people came and went, and the bustling and bustling Lizhou state capital was like a taut string. It succeeded in blocking the enemy several times, killed thousands of enemies, and captured hundreds of frames. Gu Lin and deputy Qianhu came back, but They didn't even take a breather, and they were about to rush to a place called Shuziwa on the west side of the state capital.

After a few days outside, the armor on Gu Lin's body was already stained with dark blood. His fingers fell on the Kuziwa, "This is the only way to enter the state capital from the west. There are mountains on both sides, and the middle is narrow, so you can set up an ambush."

Jiang Jing frowned: "With such an obvious terrain, would the thieves from the Che Luo Kingdom leave?"

Guan Peng's sauce-purple face showed some struggles, he looked at Gu Lin and said, "How sure are you, sir, that they will live from this?"

"If you are not sure, set up an ambush here. The terrain of Lizhou is flat. Except for this place, other places are plains and there are few hills. If this ambush is successful, at least thousands of them will be left behind. This is when they arrive. It's something the state has tried to do before."

Gao Tong, a native of Lizhou, was very anxious about the predicament of Lizhou: "My lord, Zhezi has been rushed to Kyoto, why is there no news?"

The official friend Jiang Jing, and Deputy Qianhu also had the same question. The city wall of Lizhou has been strengthened in the past two years, and there is no shortage of food or water, but it is an army of [-], and they can be piled to death even if they are piled up .

Only the imperial court's reinforcements can solve the predicament of Lizhou.

Gu Lin looked back at them, and said: "When and how many people from the imperial court will come, we cannot control it. Seizing all the opportunities in front of us is the right way."

"Fate, you have to hold it in your own hands, and only after you have done your best can you consider whether to listen to the fate."

Ever since I heard that the Che Luo State has a [-] army, my heart has been cast in a shadow, and the officials and friends who pinned all their hopes on the court reinforcements looked at the talented Gu Lin, feeling a little proud.

From the first time they met Gu Lin, Gu Lin seemed to be like this, with a calmness beyond his age, an expression that would never panic at any time, and became the backbone of Lizhou, giving them peace of mind.

Guanpeng's sauce-purple face loosened a bit: "My lord is right, don't put all your hopes on the imperial court. Even if the imperial court sends reinforcements to Lizhou, it will take several days. Are we going to catch them without a fight?"

Gu Lin glanced at him: "Yes."

"The marching speed of the Che Luo Kingdom will not be very fast. We must set up an ambush before their forwards reach Zuoziwa, and send an order to all the soldiers to lighten their weight and attack Zuziwa."

"Yes." The vice president, who was straightforward, turned around to deliver this order to Zong Zongqi without saying a word.

Officials and friends Gao Tong and Jiang Jing bowed their hands to Gu Lin: "Master Wan Wang and all the soldiers returned in triumph, and the officials are waiting in the state capital to wait for the good news."

Gu Lin has been notified in the past few days to let the inspections of the counties and counties bring all the sergeants to the state capital. At this moment, he has 3000 people available under his command.

Except for the [-] sergeants in the state capital who were all equipped with horses, most of the people under the inspectors had horses, and all of them were wearing armor and holding long-edged thorns similar to those of Che Luoguo, but improved.

This was equipped by Gu Lin and Lin Zhen after spending a lot of money over the past year. They are the most powerful and elite army in Lizhou.

In addition to them, Gu Lin also ordered the state capitals to train militias diligently this year, and also equipped them with simple armor and weapons, and they were also capable of fighting.

Two days later, Kuziwa.

Qierda, who led the five thousand vanguards of Che Luoguo, looked at the terrain ahead and reined in his horse: "The terrain ahead is not good for our army, stop advancing."

Five thousand soldiers of the Luo State formed a long line, and it took a while for the military order to stop to be conveyed.

The lieutenant general looked at the extremely high terrain on both sides with only a narrow road in the middle, and said to Qierda: "I'll go find out the truth first."

Qi Erda was suspicious by nature, and he would never rush over without understanding the situation ahead, so he nodded and agreed to his proposal.

The lieutenant immediately drove his horse forward and came back after a while: "I walked this narrow road once. It is narrow at both ends and wide in the middle. It is about 500 meters long, and there is no trace of Dayu people."

In order to ensure safety, the deputy general deliberately drove his horse to the hill above the narrow road, inspected it carefully and made sure that there was no trace of anyone before returning.

Qi Erda believed in the deputy general who had been with him for many years. Hearing what he said, he believed most of it, and turned around and said: "All officers and men obey the order and pass this narrow passage as soon as possible."

If it weren't for the fact that this was the closest road to the state capital, and the army had limited food and grass, and had to make a quick decision to supply their own side with food and grass from the state, Qierda would have to find another way.

The entrance was narrow, and five thousand forwards lined up in four teams, following Qierda's order, headed for the narrow passage at the fastest speed.

On the narrow road, the soldiers led by Gu Lin and Vice President Qian hid in the mountain line. The dug out was just big enough to hold a person, and the body was tied with grass. In the pit, it was too dangerous just now, if the deputy general of Che Luoguo walked a few steps forward, he would be able to find some abnormalities in it.

Fortunately, this area is dense with weeds, which helped them.

Crawling to the top of the narrow passage, the vice president looked down at Che Luoguo's striker who started today's narrow passage: "Master Gu, that is the leader of the striker."

Gu Lin naturally saw it, and his eyes fell on the burly Che Luoguo striker general who had a good look at martial arts: "Wait until the people in front of them are about to reach the exit before doing anything, pay attention, except for those who throw fire oil balls , the rest must shoot all the arrows at the first time."

"Understood!" Such a condescending terrain with enemies gathered in the narrow road is a good opportunity for the arrow to play its greatest role. Outside, ten arrows may not have such a good effect.

Qierda in the narrow passage twisted her neck, looked up at the narrow passage through the light, and felt a little flustered inexplicably.

He regretted the decision to send the deputy general to investigate the terrain just now. The deputy general was too courageous, and he took such a terrain lightly.

This terrain is really too dangerous.

Qi Erda clamped his horse's belly, frowning and urged the people behind him: "Get out of here as soon as possible."

The horse trotted forward under his urging, and the lieutenant general and a group of forwards behind him also followed quickly.

He was getting closer and closer to the exit of the narrow passage, 100 meters, 50 meters, ten meters.

"Throw fireballs, let go of arrows." As soon as Gu Lin finished speaking, he let go of the bow and arrow that had already been aimed at the forward general of Che Luo Kingdom, and the arrow with great strength buzzed and flew towards Qierda.

In an instant, the oil-soaked and tightly wrapped grass ball rolled down the narrow passage, and black arrows shot overwhelmingly at the forward of Che Luoguo in the narrow passage.

Here, the narrow road is wide in the middle and narrow at both ends, like a pocket. When suddenly attacked, the horses were frightened and trampled in the crowd, injuring many infantrymen.

The blazing fireball rolled in the narrow narrow passage, igniting the clothes and hair of Che Luoguo's striker. The oil soaked it made the fire spread extremely fast, and the narrow passage instantly became a sea of ​​fire.

When Qierda heard the sound of the bowstring, relying on years of experience and intuition in the face of danger, Qi Erda leaned to the side, the arrow originally aimed at his throat hooked the flesh on his neck, "bang" It was nailed to the stone wall with a loud sound, and the gravel fell to the ground one after another.

Only a little bit, he was about to be killed by this arrow.

He instantly raised a huge shield to cover his head, and shouted loudly at the striker who was scattered by the fireball and the rain of arrows: "Array! Raise the shield!"

When the general spoke, the forward sergeants came back to their senses, and immediately raised their shields. The dense rain of arrows jingled and shot at the shields, but they were unable to hurt them.

Seeing that the rain of arrows had lost its effect, Gu Lin said to Vice President Qian: "If you bring 1000 people to the exit, you can leave as much as you can. Once the opponent has the tendency to chase up the mountain, withdraw to our side."

"Qiu Baihu, you bring another 1000 people to block the entrance, just like Deputy Qianhu, pay attention to the opponent's upward trend in time, and don't let the opponent surround us."

"The rest, except for the first and second arrow teams, rolled the rocks down."

"Yes." Deputy Qianhu and Baihu ran over with their people, and the rest of the people following Gu Lin followed his instructions, rolling over the stones on the hill and pushing them down hard.

Because of the blessing of height, the huge stone smashed on the head of Che Luoguo forward who was wearing the shield. After two rounds, they broke up their regrouped formation and fled in all directions.

This time, no matter how much Qi Erda yelled and cursed, she couldn't gather people together again.

Qierda looked up at the narrow passage, Sergeant Dayu, who was wearing silver armor and a plume hat, was so angry that he ascended to heaven and two Buddhas came out of his body, seeing the forward in the narrow passage dying in various ways, he ruthlessly The ground whipped the horse's buttocks, and rushed back with the few remaining people, joining the forward troops who had not yet entered the narrow passage.

Five thousand forwards lost more than 1000 people without even seeing anyone on the opposite side, what a shame!

He tore off a piece of cloth to cover the neck that had been cut off by the powerful arrow, and said bitterly: "The whole team, divide into two teams and rush up the mountain in a detour!"

The vice-president who was blocking the exit on the hill looked at Che Luoguo's striker who had reorganized his formation and rushed towards the hill, and made a decisive decision: "Withdraw!"

A thousand sergeants immediately put away their bows and arrows, and ran to Gu Lin's side while Che Luoguo's forward was making a detour up the mountain.

After Qierda escaped with all his might, Gu Lin took the rest of the people on the horse, urged the bloody BMW that was under the pressure, and said: "Don't keep too far away from them, take out the four-shot after going down the mountain." Crossbow, after three rounds of crossbow shooting, the edge stabs and charges."

These were all drilled by Gu Lin with them. Everyone understood the meaning. They drove the horses down the mountain, but controlled the speed and did not draw too far away. It happened that the bow and arrow could not reach them, but they The range that the four-shot crossbow can shoot.

On the endless plains of Lizhou, Gu Lin led three thousand soldiers galloping on horses, and the hooves of the horses were rumbling.

He looked back at the striker of Che Luoguo who was chasing after him, slowed down and said, "Open the crossbow!"

The four-shot crossbow that everyone is equipped with is held in their hands the moment they mount their horses. When they hear his order, the three thousand sergeants slow down their horses in an instant, and put the four crossbow bolts into the crossbow slots like they did thousands of times before. , the moment the iron plate was pulled, the four-shot crossbow bed against the chest shook back, and the four arrows were shorter than usual, but thicker. The striker was like harvested wheat, which fell down visibly to the naked eye.

The forwards of Che Luoguo were dumbfounded, they didn't expect Lizhou to have such a weapon, Qi Erda hurriedly asked people to raise a shield to defend, but Gu Lin didn't force them, but ordered the four-shot crossbow to aim at them horses.

Injured or dead horses fell, and the people on them were also thrown off.

Gu Lin hung the four-shooting crossbow back to his waist, raised the longer, thicker and heavier thorn in his hand than other sergeants, and pointed directly at the forward of Che Luoguo: "Kill——"

Qierda, who was still sitting on the horse, only saw that General Dayu, who had seen a shadow on the narrow passage before, wearing silver-white armor and a feathered armor cap, was rushing towards him, and he subconsciously stretched out his shield to block it.

With a sound of "铛", the thorn pierced the shield, which made his tiger's mouth numb and painful.

With just one face-to-face encounter, Qierda's astonishing strength made Qi Erda startled.

And why this weapon is so similar to the ones in their hands, without time to think about it, Qierda confronted Gu Lin with a shield in one hand and a stab in the other.

"Huh!!!" He dodged the cold thorn facing the door, and suddenly, another thorn pierced through his neck, crushing the bones connecting his head and back.

Gu Lin shook his wrist and pulled out the other thorn.

Under the charge of their sharp-edged thorns, the remaining 3000 soldiers all lay here, and none of them survived.

No matter how many times they watched it, Deputy Qianhu and others still admired and remained indifferent to Gu Lin.

With such a heavy thorn, it is a big deal for them to use one alone, but Gu Lin can not only make two thorns, but the weight and length are heavier and heavier than them. injustice.

Gu Lin shook off the broken flesh and blood from the thorns, crossed them into the leather sheath on the back for these two thorns, and drove the horse: "Hurry up and clean the battlefield, take back all the crossbow arrows, the horse that can still run Take them away, and don't keep the weapons on them."

On the Lizhou city tower, Lin Zhen and Jiang Jing stood there, looking at the calm plain.

Suddenly, dust billowed in the distance, Lin Zhen and Jiang Jing cast their gazes over and watched closely.

When they saw the silver armor of the leader and the two thorns behind him, they slapped the pillars of the tower with joy and ran down.

"Quickly open the city gate, Lord Zhizhou and the others are back."

The sergeant guarding the city gate also showed joy when he heard it, and quickly called several people to open the city gate that had been thickened several times.

After a while, Gu Lin arrived with his people. He looked at Lin Zhen and Jiang Jing who were waiting here, and there were many anxious people in their hearts: "The five thousand forwards of Che Luo Kingdom are all executed. This is the general of the forwards." head."

He rode on his horse and held up Qierda's head, and the soldiers, people, and officials cheered loudly.

Lin Zhen looked at him, and walked quickly to get off his horse.

Gu Lin suddenly stretched out the hand that was not holding the head, hugged his waist and carried him to the horse.
