Horse on the World

Chapter 243

Badama Ningbu's joy and encouragement did not last long, and then disappeared. It seemed that the Dingzhou soldiers who had been greatly demoralized by the first round of siege battles threw stones even more ferociously after a two-day rest. The crossbow arrows began to attack Congling Pass. This time, the catapults also threw lit grease cans and other arson objects. The purpose was obviously to burn down the cloth on the city wall to resist the stone bombs. Fortunately, the city Enough sand and gravel have already been prepared on the ground, so the loss is not big.

But what made Badamaningbu look pale was that under the cover of Dingzhou soldiers, countless Shiwei people were carrying soil bags and stones, rushing to a place only tens of meters away from the city, throwing soil bags and stones, turned around and ran back.

"They want to build a fortress!" Badamaningbu immediately realized that this trick was used by Wanyan Bulu in Fuyuan City, it was this seemingly clumsy method that made Wanyan Bulu conquered the two seemingly indestructible fortresses of Fuyuan Fortress. If it hadn't been for the attack in Shanglin, Badama Ningbu believed that Wanyan Bulu would definitely use the same method to capture Fuyuan Fortress.Today, Guoshanfeng live learning is sold now, and it is used to deal with Congling Pass.

Badama Ningbu felt a pang of sadness in his heart, and wanted to deal with Shanfeng's move, unless he had enough troops in his hand to keep going out of the city to fight and destroy the walls built by the enemy, but sadly, Now it is the enemy who is far superior in terms of military strength, and the enemy is even more elite than his own army. At the beginning, Li Qing watched Wanyan Bulu build a fortification in Fuyuan, but today it is his turn.

"It's not going to work like this." Badama Ningbu turned his head and looked at the vast grassland behind him. He could only try his best to delay the time for the enemy to break through the Congling Pass. Dingzhou has made a breakthrough and achieved a great victory. If this can be done, the bloodline of the grassland will be continued. However, where will I be at that time?Badman Ningbu smiled bitterly, hoping that Bayar would remember Qingbu, who made a great sacrifice for the grassland after the victory.

Badaman Ningbu felt that it was time for him to make some arrangements for the continuation of Qingbu's bloodline.

"Qi Luo, have you seen it?" Badama Ningbu pointed to the rising earth barrier, "When the earth barrier is built, it will be the day of our death."

"Patriarch, what should we do?" Of course, Zi Luo also saw the dangerous situation.

"Let's go out of the city to fight! Qi Luo, lead the soldiers, keep going out of the city to harass, and delay the time for the enemy to build up the fortification." Badamaningbu sighed, "Do your best and obey the destiny!"

Zilo retreated sadly.Later, Qi Luo led [-] cavalry out of the city. When the city gate opened, [-] cavalry rushed out and slashed and killed the Shiwei people who built the fortress. A rain of arrows that was as dense as a bee-locust caused the Qingbu soldiers to fall down as if they were cutting wheat. Immediately, the Shiwei cavalry rushed out and drove Qi Luo back.

From this day on, Badamaningbu stood on the top of the city blankly, watching the earth barrier increase day by day, watching Qi Luo attack weaker and weaker day by day, the number of elite soldiers decreased day by day, and the breath of failure enveloped the city. The entire Congling Pass.

On a stormy night, the people of Dingzhou finally stopped building fortifications day and night, and the Congling Pass was rarely calmed down. In the wind and rain, Badaman Ningbu looked at the thousands of strong men gathered in front of him. Women, half-grown children, and more than a thousand elite soldiers, some choked up. These are the seeds he left for Qingbu. Even if they are wiped out here, even if the grassland people fail in the end, the blood of Qingbu must continue go down.

"Patriarch!" An Ai Ji from Badama Ningbu knelt down on the ground, hugged his thigh, and shouted, "Patriarch, come with us, give up here, let's go together!"

Badama Dingbu couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears on his face, he raised his hand to signal the guards to drag the woman up, and said softly: "I can't go, this battle is not for Bayar, nor just for youth. All are fighting, I am fighting for the whole grassland tribe, even if I am smashed to pieces, my destination can only be here, you go, give birth to the child in your belly, and leave a breath of incense for me, so that every year During the great sacrifice, my ancestors and I can still get a sacrificial shrine."

He waved his hand, pointed to the vast mountain on the side of Congling Pass, and said, "Let's go, where to go, go to the mountain, and never come out again, go to the mountain to find the glimmer of life. If you are here, the Qingbu will not perish !” After finishing speaking, he turned around resolutely and walked into the pass, the gate of Congling Pass closed with a bang, shutting thousands of people who were about to enter the mountain outside the heavy gate.

Thousands of people knelt down, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to Congling Pass, then stepped on their horses and left Congling Pass with one step at a time.

More than ten days passed. On the front of Congling Pass, a mile-long earth barrier towered high, even higher than the city wall of Congling Pass. Sitting on the gate tower, Badamaningbu could clearly see the opposite side. On the face of the Dingzhou soldiers on the earth barrier, they saw the arrows of the Bazhan crossbow shining with cold light.But the Dingzhou soldiers did not stop there. Tens of thousands of Shiwei people were still looking for earth bags and stones day and night, rushed to the earth barrier, and then dumped these things under the city.

Badman Ningbu finally understood that the other side actually wanted to fill up the gap between the earth fortress and the city wall. He grinned, and sat in the tower silently, wiping his sharp sword. On this day, Dingzhou soldiers Except for civil engineering work, there was no attack on the city, and except for the occasional routine stone bombs flying to the top of the city, almost all the tribes of the Qingbu rushed to the top of the city, or sat on the top of the city, or leaned under the city wall, with nowhere to go When you stand, you stand at the gate, waiting to be supplemented at any time. Among them, there are strong men, weak old people, strong women, and staggering old women.

The Battle of Congling Pass entered into a strange atmosphere. Tens of thousands of Shiwei people worked more vigorously. Seeing such a siege, Tie Nige was so angry that he jumped his feet. Such a simple method, why did it take hundreds of years? Didn't your ancestors think of it?But he never thought that if Bayar hadn't invested most of his troops in Dingzhou, if it hadn't been for the Qingbu who had been hit hard and suffered heavy losses to guard the Congling Pass, it would have been Huhe's wolf running Or it is the yellow and the yellow in the heyday, this kind of stupid way is about to become a stupid way.

Surrounded by a large number of generals, he climbed up the mound to observe the situation of Congling Pass carefully, and what caught his eye was shocking In such a situation, he turned back and walked down the mound after being silent for a while, and returned to his central army tent without saying a word.

"There is no justice in a national war, and there are no heroes in a civil war. The commander-in-chief is right. After the earth fortress is built, let Tienig enjoy the glory of breaking the city. We don't need to be dispatched!"

All the subordinates were speechless.

Another five days passed, and at this time, there was only one day left before the date set by Li Qing, and Guo Shanfeng finally gave Tienig an order to fight.The people of Shiwei, who had been digging the soil for half a day, finally looked forward to this day. They saw the people of Dingzhou pushing a set of Baifa crossbows along the slope to the top of the base. Excitedly, they rode on their horses, screaming and waiting. It's time to charge.At this time, the distance between the earth barrier and the city wall was less than ten meters.

The thundering drums sounded, and Tienig rode on the horse with great ambitions. In hundreds of years, the first glory to break through the Congling Pass was about to fall on him, the beggar Mo Duhe, and this moment will be recorded in the Shi Wei annals.

"Start to attack!" Following his order, the infantry who had already been ready to go carried a piece of specially made boards more than ten meters long, rushed up the slope, and under the cover of a hundred crossbows, with a bang Amidst the loud bang bang bang bang, a passage about Lixu wide was built on the earth barrier and the city wall.

The cavalry shouted and rushed up the slope, and the prancing horse rushed directly to the top of the city along this passage, and the sound of shouting and killing immediately resounded through the sky and the earth.

Guo Shanfeng sat silently in the large tent of the Chinese army, waiting for the news of the city's destruction.

At night, Xiong Dewu rushed into the tent of the Chinese army, "General, the city is broken!"

In the middle of the night, the fire in Congling Pass had not been extinguished, and the screams continued.Guo Shanfeng still sits like a statue in the large tent of the Chinese army.

With his hands still wrapped in bandages, Jiang Hei Niu, whose face was covered with burnt scars, rushed in again, "General, Tienig is massacring the city!"

Guo Shanfeng moved his body slightly, and slowly raised his head, "Where's Badama Ningbu?"

Jiang Heiniu sighed: "He is a man, he could have escaped, but he persisted until the last moment, and then set fire to himself on the tower and died!"

Guo Shanfeng stood up, "Okay, that's it, we break the Congling Pass on the time stipulated by the commander in chief, you go and tell Tienig that the Congling Pass is broken, let me see his promise to me , the vast grassland is in front of you, let the Shiwei people go forward without any scruples, go looting, go kill poke! Go avenge his ancestors!"

Jiang Heiniu didn't move, "General, the commander once said that we want to pacify the grassland, not destroy it. If Tienig is left alone, he will dye every blade of grass on the grassland red."

The corner of Guo Shanfeng's mouth twitched, and he said: "The barbarians have millions of people, distributed on the vast grasslands, Tienig, can he kill them all? Go, pass my order!"

Jiang Heiniu waved his bandage-wrapped hands, and wanted to say something, but finally opened his mouth, didn't say anything, turned around, and rushed out of the big tent.

"Come here!" Guo Shanfeng said.A guard came in.

"Ms. Mingyan, please come here!" Guo Shanfeng said.

"General Guo!" Mingyan walked into the big tent, "Congratulations to General Guo for successfully opening up the second front. The general defeated the barbarians on the grassland. General Guo deserves great credit!"

Guo Shanfeng smiled slightly, and said: "I dare not take credit, if I want to say credit, Miss Mingyan should take the first credit."

Mingyan smiled wryly, "We let a bad wolf in, passed the general, and saw the situation in Congling Pass, I don't know what to say?"

Guo Shanfeng shook his head, "Heaven and earth cycle, retribution is not good, girl Mingyan, when you see this and feel uncomfortable, think about the sufferings that Dingzhou people have suffered for many years! There is no justice in national wars, and there are no heroes in civil wars. Do you remember what the commander-in-chief said?"

The two smiled wryly and were speechless.

"Ms. Mingyan, your mission is over now. You are no longer needed to coordinate the work of our army and Shiwei people. You can go back to Dingzhou by sea. There is a more important mission waiting for you." I'm following you!"

Mingyan hesitated for a moment, "General Guo, does the commander-in-chief have any arrangements for the Shiwei people?"

Guo Shanfeng glanced at him with a half-smile, but did not speak. Ming Yan blushed slightly, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake! Farewell, General Guo, see you in Dingzhou!"

"See you in Dingzhou!"
