Great Wei Nengchen

At least thousands of Hun cavalry came straight to Crouching Tiger Pavilion!

When everyone got the news, they all turned pale. When disasters occurred outside the Great Wall in previous years, sporadic nomadic tribes would sneak across the Great Wall and come to Han to harass, but each time it was no more than a few dozen wanderers. It is better to say that they are here to rob, than to steal and beg; but this time is different, thousands of elite cavalry of the Xiongnu, such a powerful force, is definitely not something that a small Crouching Tiger Pavilion can resist. With the end of the town being slaughtered, retreat has become the only option now.

At the same time, another more difficult problem was before everyone's eyes. At their speed, thousands of women, children, and old people in the Crouching Tiger Pavilion could not reach the Panlong River in less than three hours. On the other side, Although Xiao Yi and the others beheaded the Huns' rangers, it would not take long. With the speed of the Huns' cavalry, it is estimated that they will arrive here in about an hour. The retreat of the Confucianists took more than two hours to complete, and the result of leaving behind must be ten deaths and no life.

Who gave birth?who died?Who will fight for those precious two hours with their own blood?How should fate choose?

There are thousands of people in the family, and one person is in charge. All eyes are on the old pavilion chief. As long as the military order is issued, no matter whether it is life or death, the people here will obey.

Looking at the pair of expectant eyes, the old pavilion leader felt that he had returned to the years of fighting in the battlefield when he was young. At that time, he was still a small chief under the command of the general. The years are ruthless, but the veterans will not die. It is the ring-shoulder that has given him life, it can give him boundless courage.

"Blacksmith Niu Hong, you lead someone to escort all the women and children across the Panlong River, and arrange them carefully so that there are no mistakes."

"No!" The blacksmith clasped his fists to accept the order, and immediately turned around and went out to arrange for the women and children to retreat. He didn't say goodbye, and it was too late to give way. Time is precious, and every minute and every second now needs to be exchanged with blood, not to mention the responsibility of escorting women and children across the river. .

"Chuchenzi Immortal Master, let's go too. With you here, you can calm the emotions of the crowd." The old pavilion chief saluted with his fists in his hands, and said with a look of entrustment in his eyes. In the eyes of the common people, he is no different from a living god, with unfathomable martial arts skills and proficient medical skills. He is indeed the best candidate to take care of these women and children!

The old Taoist of 'Chuchenzi' still looks like a fairy, but there is a layer of black air between his eyebrows and eyes. After Jishou saluted, he didn't say much, but walked slowly to Xiao Yi's face, stretched out his With his withered arm, he gently touched Xiao Yi's head, just like when the two first met, the old man's hand was still so warm.Looking at the boy who has grown into a man of eight feet, Lao Dao seemed to be looking at the most proud piece of work in his life, his eyes were extraordinarily bright, as if he wanted to remember Xiao Yi's appearance forever.

It has been nearly three years since time travel to the present, years of baptism, and now Xiao Yi's hair has grown very long, because he has not been crowned as an adult yet, and he doesn't like the kind that looks like two horns The same juvenile bun; so his hair has been floating freely, and usually just tie a ribbon on his forehead.Now seeing that the old man was going to arrange his hair in a bun, Xiao Yi knew that when he was parting from life and death, the old man wanted to preside over the crowning ceremony for himself in advance, so he knelt on the ground devoutly and accepted the sudden crowning ceremony for a man.

The matter happened in a hurry, there was neither a golden crown nor a hairpin, the old Taoist just gently gathered Xiao Yi's hair together into a ponytail and tied it with a ribbon; then he took out a jade pendant from his bosom On Xiao Yi's forehead, the jade pendant was only the size of a red date, and it was crystal clear. It was obviously a rare piece of suet jade, with five flying bats engraved on it. Surrounded by bats is a strange "卍" character!

The word "卍" is said to be one of the oldest symbols of human beings. Whether it is Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism in the East, or in Western civilization, it has repeatedly appeared. Its true meaning has been difficult to figure out, but everyone recognizes it One explanation is the meaning of auspiciousness, blessings, and longevity, as well as those with great wisdom!

The heart is as clear as ice, the sky is not shocked

ever-changing still calm

Untouched by dust and dirt

Emptiness, Ningmi, nothingness

........................

Putting his hand on its top, amidst the Sanskrit singing of the Taoist Mantra of Purifying Heart, the old Taoist walked away...

"Teacher, take care! Disciple, please remember!" Seeing the back of the old Taoist leaving, Xiao Yi knew that the wings of the Taoist fairy wind could no longer protect him. Xiao Yi's fixed hairstyle, whether he was fighting on the battlefield or living in a temple, has never changed throughout his life...

All the women and children in the Crouching Tiger Pavilion retreated to the Panlong River under the leadership of the old Taoist. The blacksmith Niu Hong led dozens of his apprentices, each armed with weapons, to escort them closely. Those who retreated were all young women and children. , and those old and weak people are automatically left behind. Their old bodies can no longer adapt to the long-distance trek and will only slow down the speed of the retreating team. Just like all species in nature, when disaster strikes, the old Weak individuals will voluntarily abandon themselves and leave the chance of survival to those younger individuals in the race. This is the law of nature: "Get rid of the weak and keep the strong, and the fittest survive!"

No crying, no reluctance to say goodbye, people silently performed their duties, doing everything they should do; in this troubled world, everything has to make way for survival, including feelings.

"The rest of the men who can take up arms, join me to guard the Crouching Tiger Pavilion!" After watching the retreat of the women and children, the old pavilion chief let out his final roar like an old lion.

"promise!……"

At the same time, in the mountains and forests thirty miles away, a group of Hun cavalry was marching secretly, and the rolling cavalry was like a torrent, unstoppable...

Zuo Xianwang Liu Bao looked at the rolling iron cavalry under him, and was extremely proud. This time, after the [-] elite cavalry of his own tribe entered the Great Wall, they quickly divided into four groups, looting everywhere, and the harvest was extremely rich. Crouching Tiger Pavilion, where there is fragrant wine and a lot of ironware waiting for you, if you are lucky, you can even snatch some beautiful Han women as slaves. The beautiful Han woman has been coveted for a long time.

When Liu Baozhi was full of ambition, a flying cavalry under his command rushed over: "Report to Lord Zuo Xianwang, Centurion Human took people to explore the road, but he never came back, and the people we sent to search did not find their any trace."

The subordinate's report brought Liu Bao back to reality, "Hu Man is a capable centurion under him. He has fought countless battles and has extremely rich experience. He will never make a low-level mistake of not coming back to report, but he really If he didn't come back, there is only one reason... He will never come back!

"Not good! Our whereabouts have been exposed, order the three armies to speed up, the target---Crouching-Tiger-Ting!"

48. Chapter 48 Bloody Battle at Crouching Tiger Pavilion ([-])

Cobbler Zhang Ji guessed right. Less than an hour after the women and children in the town had evacuated, a brigade of Hun cavalry appeared outside the "Crouching Tiger Pavilion". It's a full three.

When a large group of cavalry came roaring, even the cobbler, who had always been indifferent, became serious.Everyone understands that it is no longer a question of whether to defend or not, but a question of how long these 300 old, weak and remnant soldiers can defend. If they fight hard, they may not be able to hold on for half an hour.

The Huns cavalry did not launch an attack immediately, but kept galloping around the town wall, and uttered strange shouts, exerting psychological pressure on the guards in the town.The town wall of Crouching Tiger Pavilion is more than ten feet high and six feet thick. Surrounded by Ma Qianjun, he was like a small boat tossing in the raging waves, and could be smashed to pieces at any time...

Zuoxian King Liu Bao is very smart. Unlike other Xiongnu nobles who only know how to rob things, he prefers to rob people, especially skilled craftsmen; Then he can get a steady stream of iron, so he hopes to get a complete 'Crouching Tiger Pavilion', especially the blacksmith inside.

All the people in the Crouching Tiger Pavilion who could hold a knife and gun were already guarding the wall. Facing the siege of thousands of troops, everyone was extremely nervous. Some young teenagers even trembled all over, but they still held the guns in their hands tightly. Weapons, Yanzhao men, there are only ghosts killed in battle, no surrenders.And those old people with limited mobility are sitting in groups of two or three by the firewood piles in the Crouching Tiger Pavilion. They are the calmest people now, and they can let go of their hard work and hard work all their lives. , each of them holds something to make fire in their hands, and once the Crouching Tiger Pavilion falls, they will light it together, turning themselves and their homes into a raging fire!

At this time, Xiao Yi was leaning against the town wall looking nervously but with a hint of excitement. The scene of thousands of horses and troops could only be seen in blockbuster movies before, but now it really appeared in front of his eyes, even if it was against the enemy. Being surrounded still made his blood boil, maybe deep in his heart he longed for such a fight...

Just when he was stimulated by the feeling of depression before the war and wanted to scream up to the sky, cobbler Zhang Ji appeared beside him like a ghost, and at the same time handed him a bow, a strange bow!

As soon as he took the bow, Xiao Yi felt extraordinary. The body of the bow was shiny black, and the texture was tight. It was actually made of metal. On it were two lifelike five-clawed dragons twisted and staggered to both ends. The mouth of the bow was connected to the bowstring. It is at least three times the size of an ordinary riding bow, and the word 'Jueying' is engraved on the inside of the back of the bow.The whole bow has a dignified imposing manner and restrained murderous aura, one can tell it is not ordinary at a glance.

"The name of this bow is: 'Jueying Baodiao Bow', with copper tires and iron arms, indestructible. The bowstring is twisted from the main tendon of the deep mountain python. It can break through 5 stones. Within 150 steps, it can shoot through 3 layers of heavy weapons. Armor is the first-class killer weapon in the world!" The cobbler patted Xiao Yi's shoulder and continued solemnly: "Use this bow well, and don't let the treasure be dusted." After saying that, he turned and returned to his position, The final preparations before the war.

Looking at the back of the cobbler leaving, he touched the Jueying Baodiao bow in his hand. Although it was the first time he got it, it gave him a familiar feeling of flesh and blood. It seemed that this bow should belong to him in the dark. And Bao Gong seems to know that he has met the God of Destiny, and there is a crisp sound from the bowstring, with Bao Gong in hand, he hunts down the heroes...

Amidst the bursts of ox horns, a Huns cavalry galloped out of the formation. His armor was shining with cold light. Judging from his attire, he was at least a leader like a centurion. After galloping a hundred steps away from the city wall three times, With the bow in hand, he shot back with an arrow, and the Ming Dy pierced the sky, and was nailed to the center of the gate tower of the Crouching Tiger Pavilion. The other Huns in the distance suddenly cheered in unison, like a pack of wolves.

The Hun centurion stood still a hundred paces away. In his opinion, this distance was absolutely safe. It was difficult for Han Chinese bows to shoot so far. As for crossbow arrows, only the elite troops of the Han army were equipped with them. It is impossible to have a small Crouching Tiger Pavilion. Besides, even if it is, you can’t shoot at the target at a distance of a hundred steps. At this time, you shouted to the top of the city in broken Chinese: "Listen, the Han people inside! The Great Xiongnu Zuo Xian Wang has the virtue of loving life, as long as you donate your belongings and go out of the city to surrender, your lord will guarantee your safety, if not, after the city is broken, no chicken or dog will be left behind..."

At this time, the old pavilion chief was standing on the highest point of the city wall. The atmosphere of the enemy's pressure not only did not make him feel scared, but instead aroused his pride when he was fighting in the desert. Before he died, he could fight a hearty bloody battle , Slashing the Xiongnu with a knife, there is no regret in this life, and he turned sideways and said to the old fish seller beside him in a heroic tone: "Old man, raise the flag!"

'promise! The old fish seller strode forward and spread out the flag in his hand, a large black flag was displayed on the top of the city amidst the murderous aura all over the sky.The size of the military flag is five feet, and there is a "Han" character in the upper part of the book, and a line of small characters next to it, "Dahan Yuyang County Crouching Tiger Pavilion Diannong Duwei", the Han Dynasty text is red and Wu is black, so the military flags are all black. The pavilion chief secretly made a shooting gesture to Xiao Yi who was standing beside him.

After receiving the gesture, Xiao Yi immediately drew his bow and set an arrow. The two slender ape arms exerted strength and let out a soft drink. The 5-stone Juying Baodiao bow was pulled into a half-moon shape. The bowstring sounded like a thunderbolt. Shooting out at incredible speed...

At this moment, the Hun family was still loudly persuading him to surrender, and the arrow clusters shot directly from his mouth and passed through his neck. Blood gushed out, and the dead body fell off his horse.

In the cavalry formation was a black wolf-headed flag. Liu Bao was confidently waiting for the people in the town to come out and surrender. In his opinion, the small Crouching Tiger Pavilion could only kneel down and beg in front of his three thousand cavalry. However, the centurion who was shot and killed in an instant made him angry and startled. What made him angry was that a group of Han people dared to fight against his army. Knowing that, from a distance of a hundred steps, one can accurately hit a moving target, and the powerful arrow clusters pass through the neck, which can only be done by a sculpture archer; and the existence of a sculpture archer is extremely rare on the prairie...

The wolf's head swayed, and with the blowing of a low-pitched ox horn, the Huns began to attack. The thunderous sound of horseshoes rushed from the east, west, and north. Only the south had no troops and horses. The tactic is very insidious, using the desire to survive to lure the people in the town to escape from the gap in the south, and once they reach the wide plain, it will be the world of the Huns cavalry, who can shoot and hack at will like chasing prey.

The horse galloped, and rushed within a hundred steps in an instant. The Huns cavalry began to shoot arrows crazily on the horse. The arrows kept hitting the low town wall. From time to time, some of the guards screamed that the arrow fell, and the rest of them stood up and dismantled Under the cover of bows and arrows, a group of Xiongnu soldiers, like wild wolves, used horse ropes to trap the crenels on the city, biting steel knives, climbing up, staring at their blood-red eyes, howling and waving The knife slashed at the defenders.Another group of Xiongnu soldiers got off their horses and walked, holding a large cowhide shield in one hand and a thick log in the other, and rushed towards the north gate of the town...

It was Xiao Yi who was in charge of defending the north gate. At this moment, he waved his phoenix wings and gilded the gold boring, and fought bravely on the city wall. Blood gushed out from where the boring front passed, and heads rolled down. He killed more than a dozen people in a row, and his clothes were all gone. Stained red with blood, under his leadership, the fellows of Wushouju bravely fought against the enemy with simple weapons in their hands. The sound of the collision of weapons became a sound... During the fierce battle, from time to time, injured men fell to the top of the city with the Xiongnu soldiers in their arms, and died together...

At the same time, the guards of the Crouching Tiger Pavilion began to shoot arrows rapidly in an attempt to prevent the enemy from approaching the city gate, but the Huns' cowhide shields were extremely thick, and the effect was not obvious. The Huns quickly rushed to the gate and began to slam into the gate... …

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Under the impact of the giant tree, the already dilapidated gate immediately crumbled. Although the people inside tried their best to resist, it was of no avail. Seeing this scene, Xiao Yi, who was already red-eyed, roared: " Throw the jar!"

In an instant, under the leadership of the shopkeeper Fatty Cao, the guys from Wushouju threw dozens of jars of the most powerful Wushou wine to the gate in a frantic manner. A flaming spike shot from Xiao Yi's hand, and the soaring fire quickly engulfed everything near the gate. Dozens of Hun soldiers were burned crying and howling, rolling all over the ground but still unable to extinguish the flames on their bodies...

"In addition to drinking strong wine, it can also be used to light fire!" After shooting the rocket, Xiao Yi held the bow in one hand, touched his nose with the other hand, and whispered to himself softly.

On the other two sides, the men led by Daniu and Maliu also fought bloody battles with the enemy. The 64-pound mace danced like a mad tiger. He didn't care about it either, the cobbler Zhang Ji's continuous arrows shot without fail, every arrow killed, and the bowstring sounded like a series of rings...

Finally, under the fearless resistance of the guards, with the sound of a low horn, the Huns who suffered heavy casualties left dead bodies all over the ground and retreated like a tide; although the Huns were temporarily repelled, the bloody battle just now In the offensive and defensive battle, more than one-third of the defenders in the town were lost, and most of the rest were injured...

49. Chapter 49 Bloody Battle at Crouching Tiger Pavilion ([-])

On the wall of the Crouching Tiger Pavilion, the corpses of the war dead from both sides overlapped, and many of them were entangled with each other, and they were inseparable; stumps and broken arms were thrown everywhere, and some bloody corpses were even separated. It's unclear whether it belonged to a Han man or a Hun warrior. After all, the blood of both sides is red.No one pays attention to these things. Those who survived are hurrying to recover their physical strength, and many people are gorging on dry food with blood-stained hands. Now the dead are no longer important, and the most important thing is to survive. Eat one more bite, maybe this is the last bite of food in life

The old pavilion chief received a knife on his left shoulder, deep into the bone, the fisherman was wrapping up his wound, the blood kept gushing out, he grabbed two handfuls of ashes to hold it down, saw Xiao Yi who was covered in blood coming over, just now He saw the battle clearly. The young man wearing the 'Chi You Ghost Mask' in front of him can be said to be both wise and brave, and his command was exceptionally good. If he can fight on the battlefield, he must be a young hero comparable to a 'champion'..."
