The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 259 Chapter 240
Tieniu sat in the hanging basket and kept looking down, thinking: How can this Wuji come up, this level is seven or eight feet high!Could it be that my brother lied to me?
Thinking of this, Tieniu couldn't help but his eyes turned red and tears fell down.

I saw that Duan Wuji inserted the sword into the scabbard behind his back, stepped back more than a dozen steps, and then ran forward suddenly, and flew up in the air when he reached the gate. It stood firmly on a stone that protruded more than two inches.

Duan Wuji pushed hard on his feet, and jumped up more than a foot high with a "boo", this time his toes landed on a slightly protruding rock.

Duan Wuji sprinted upwards again, and with a swipe of the ground, he went up more than a foot high again.

Using both hands and feet, Duan Wuji climbed up the slightly protruding pass.

The moment Duan Wuji jumped onto the gate, there was continuous applause immediately.

When Tieniu saw that Duan Wuji came up faster than himself, he couldn't help being surprised.

"Brother, I didn't expect you to have such a great ability! It seems that my brother and I are far behind you.

Brother, when did you practice such good kung fu?This is really the death of people compared with others, and the comparison of goods has to be thrown away!

Brother, with your little ability, I dare say that those Turkic people can't stand us. "

When the old prince Qiu Rui saw it, he took a few steps and hugged Duan Wuji.

"Wuji! Good job, you opened my eyes to me today, I didn't expect you to have such a high ability!

Well, with you here, old man, I will never have anything to do again. "

Jin Zhaoxiong and Yu Dapeng also ran over.

"Wuji! Well done, now we brothers have convinced you. I didn't expect you to be able to climb up from the bottom so quickly. You are really the number one warrior in my Great Sui Kingdom."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother, don't flatter me, haven't you seen that our brothers have lost their bows and arrows?"

Jin Zhaoxiong laughed and said, "Isn't it just an ordinary bow? Brother, I'll give you two better ones later."

Tieniu came over and snatched the bow from Jin Zhaoxiong.

"Brother Jin, lend me your precious bow to use twice first, hey, pass me a few arrows first."

"Huh? What do you want that for?"

"What are you doing? Didn't you see that Turkic man rushed over right away? Wait a while and I'll shoot some of them to death for you to see."

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Brother Tieniu, don't worry, let's shoot together later.

Hey, my lord, lend me your bow as well, and I'll return it to you later. "

The old prince laughed and said: "Wuji, if you show me your face again today, it will make me happy again.

Hey, I'll give you all these arrows. "

Duan Wuji took a look, okay, there are more than 20 arrows at least.

Duan Wuji drew his bow and set his arrows, turned around and said to the people behind him: "Everyone, this Turkic man is too far away so don't let go of your arrows, these arrows are not easy to come by."

Everyone listened and nodded.

"Well, we know that we only shoot our bows and arrows when the general orders us to. Who would dare to shoot arrows without orders?"

At this moment, the Turks of the brigade had rushed to the front of the pass. When the people who closed the pass saw the Turkic cavalry in a black mass, it could be said that they could not see the leader at a glance.

The Turks stopped within a stone's throw of the pass.

This group of people looked at the headless and bleeding corpses in front of the pass, and they hated it, so they gritted their teeth.

After a long time, a Turkic man with a scimitar in his hand yelled at Guan Guan, and the officers and soldiers of Guan Guan heard it like ducks listening to thunder.

He thought to himself: What the hell is this bastard bastard shouting about?He couldn't understand a word of it.

A low-ranking officer who could speak Turkic laughed and said, "The boy said we are too hateful. They dared to slaughter their people. They must take revenge and make us pay with our lives."

All the officers and soldiers who closed the door laughed loudly.

The old prince Qiu Rui said with a smile: "It seems that these bastards are going to tackle a key problem today, and we are all better prepared for the battle.

Tianbao, go, bring the army we brought with 3000 people, we are ready to support at any time, I don't believe that we can't beat them today. "

Qiu Tianbao took the order and left.

The old prince looked at Duan Wuji and asked in a low voice: "Wuji, look at this overwhelming enemy, how do you think this battle will be fought?"

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "If you want me to say, let's let the soldiers hide on the crenels of the pass and stay still, and wait until the gang of boys rush to the bottom of the pass before we fight."

"Ah? Then what if they break through this level?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Wang family Qiansui, you are too unconfident? You said that there are so many of us, in such a small space, how could they break through? Only when they get close can we effectively kill They!"

"Well, what you said also makes sense. Well, that's what we'll do today."

The old prince raised his hand to call Jin Zhaoxiong and Yu Dapeng over, and conveyed his combat intention.

Yu Dapeng looked at the old prince and said, "Is this okay? Once the enemy gets too close, what if the pass is lost?"

The old prince laughed and said: "Don't worry, we can't lose the defense. The troops I brought, three thousand soldiers will be here soon. Today we will fight them hard here and show them some color." .”

"Well, all right then.

OK, I'll go tell the soldiers right away. "

The enemy soldiers began to stand motionless in that position.

The atmosphere on the battlefield suddenly became more dull. People knew that both sides were preparing their forces, and a big war was quietly brewing.

The soldiers who closed the gate were quietly sharpening their swords and swords, and the Turkic people under the city were not idle either. They saw billowing dust in the sky behind them, and the enemy's siege team was coming soon.

Not long after Qiu Tianbao led the soldiers to the city, the Turkic siege teams also arrived one after another.

I saw every forty or fifty Turks carrying a heavy wooden ladder, ho!Forty or fifty of these ladders alone have been lifted.

Behind each ladder stood more than 100 soldiers holding shields and machetes.

After the Turks were ready, a Turkic general immediately drew his scimitar.

"Brothers, attack the top of the city and avenge the brothers who died just now. As long as we capture this pass, we can pass the horses. The women and the land in the pass will be ours! Brothers, go! !"

Immediately, under the command of the officer, the Turks of the brigade rushed towards the pass.

When the old prince saw it, he shouted loudly: "Listen, all the soldiers, the time has come to defend our home and the country. When the Turkic people approached, everyone will be killed by me. The only way is to kill them all. We can keep our hometown."

When the ladder was close to the pass, the Turkic soldiers began to climb to the top of the city quickly.

Duan Wuji glanced at it and said with a smile: "The time for these boys to die has come, alas, my lord, why don't we kill the commander behind us first?"

"Ah? Wuji, can you shoot at such a distance? Let me see if you shoot one. It seems that my king's carved bow can't kill anyone at such a distance."

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "The Wang family is a thousand years old, today I will give you a rare shot, just wait and see."

I saw Duan Wuji drawing his bow like a full moon, and an arrow with carved feathers went straight towards this guy's face.

I saw that the arrow was hitting one of the man's eyes, and the man fell off the horse with a scream.

The old prince laughed when he saw it.

"Well, Wuji, good job, as long as this guy is dead, I'll see who will command the siege."

This thing happened too suddenly, the Turkic people who rushed to the front didn't know what was going on, and then, a large number of Turkic soldiers climbed up the ladder to the critical point.

When Duan Wuji saw it, he immediately pulled out the arrow and shot fiercely.

Seeing where the arrow feathers flew, the Turkic people responded and fell off the ladder one after another. Tieniu laughed when he saw it.

"Brother, your arrow skills are really good. Well, brother, I will compare with you today, and see which of the two of us shoots the most enemies."

Jin Zhaoxiong and Yu Dapeng on the top of the wall moved their hands when they saw Duan Wuji and Tieniu, and also shouted in a high voice: "Brothers, the enemy has rushed to the bottom of the pass city, let me shoot arrows and shoot them dead, all of them will be killed." Shoot them dead."

The soldiers got the order, and they took up their bows and arrows and shot down, and there was a rain of arrows under the closed door for a while.

Suddenly, there was a burst of howling ghosts and wolves below!

Well, the juncture has not yet come to the fore.The Turks lost more than 1000 people in one fell swoop, and the pile of dead bodies was three feet thick before the gate was closed, and the ground before the gate was stained red with blood.

The old prince closed his eyes when he saw it, thinking, this is too tragic.

In such a short period of time, so many people died before the pass, alas, why is this?

It seems that how insignificant a human life is, you will know it as soon as you arrive on the battlefield.

After the enemies in the pass were eliminated, the battle temporarily stopped. Both the enemy and the enemy made a temporary truce, and the entire battlefield fell into a deadly dullness.

Just as Jin Zhaoxiong ordered someone to cut off the ladder at this juncture, Duan Wuji waved his hand.

"General Jin, wait a minute, I think we should leave them alone, maybe we will still need them later."

"Ah? What's the use of this thing? Could it be kept so that the enemy can't crawl?"

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Climb, just climb, anyway, you can't climb up, they are crawling, wouldn't it be more convenient for us to eliminate them?"

"Okay, okay, okay, then let's keep it, let's see if they still crawl."'
Duan Wuji looked at Jin Zhaoxiong and asked: "General Jin, how many arrows did we pick up from below? Do you have a count?"

Jin Zhaoxiong shook his head.

"We didn't have statistics on this just now. It is estimated that there are about [-] arrows. Don't you think we used more than half of them just now?"

"Hey, did any of your brothers die when you picked up the arrows just now?"

"Well, that's not true. It's just that two brothers were slightly injured. Well, today is worth it if we can do this. Otherwise, we won't have any arrows to use after today's battle.

It's good now, our arrows are not only useless, but there are so many left over.

Well, this can be regarded as a solution to our urgent need. "

At this moment, a Turkic man waved a small white flag and shouted in half-baked Chinese: "Everyone, don't shoot arrows. I am here to negotiate with you on the order of the head of my family. If the two armies are at war, don't hurt me. "

Qiu Rui laughed and said, "Speak quickly if you have something to say, and let go of your fart if you have something to say. Don't waste your time there."

"My lord has said that we will have a truce today, and we will make another appointment in a few days. Our main force has not arrived yet. Today we will remove the bodies of these soldiers who died in battle first, otherwise they will be destroyed if they stay here. Smoked you will not be at peace.

May I ask you for your convenience? "

The old prince laughed and said: "This is a good thing, damn it, the corpse cleaning team is here.

Hey, Promise, what do you think about this matter? "

After hearing this, Duan Wuji said in a low voice: "My lord, don't promise him, tell him, just say that we beheaded and go back to the court to repay the merit.

If you want to return the corpses, you can keep the swords, bows and arrows on the corpses, and exchange each corpse for a horse, otherwise it will be unnecessary. "

The old prince laughed out loud.

"Wuji, your move is bad enough, can they agree to such a condition?"

"Hey, if you agree, you will agree. If you don't agree, you will pull it down. If you agree, we will get a small fortune. If you don't agree, we will not suffer any losses. Just let him go."

"Well, well, I'll do it according to the conditions you said."
