Luoshui Dongliu

Zhao Shen never knew what he said in that sleepy night, and after a long time, he could hardly remember the bewilderment in the first half of the night.The only thing I clearly remember is that Zhou Qian suddenly shouted outside the curtain: "General, the enemy suddenly attacked the city!"

As soon as this word was heard, Zhao Shen stood up abruptly, and said in a decisive voice: "Prepare armor." After taking this step, his feet suddenly froze, he suddenly turned around, but he was speechless.Lu Youzhi was already sitting upright, although he suddenly felt changed, but his expression was unusually calm.Seeing that Zhao Shen was hesitating and had something to say while looking back, he said in a deep voice: "The city defense is critical, don't worry about me, go quickly."

He watched Zhao Shen lift the curtain and go out, only to hear the sound of armor rubbing rapidly outside, Zhao Shen asked: "Where is the danger?" Zhao Shen said softly: "Let's go." After a while, the surroundings were only hearing the wind again.

Lu Youzhi still rested his hands on his knees.After a while, he silently raised his left hand, only to see a faint finger mark on the tiger's mouth, and knew that this was not a big dream.

Just now Zhao Shen firmly held his palm, and only called "Yuanchang" all the way, he looked down and saw the man's eyes rolling under the tightly closed eyelids, he knew this was a nightmare.But suddenly he heard Zhao Shen's lips and teeth move, and said vaguely: "Don't go..."

Lu Youzhi trembled when he heard the sound.He moved his arm slowly, looking straight at Zhao Shen's face.He was already so close to him that even the thick eyebrows could be seen.Only a long time ago, the majestic eyebrows were still there, but there were such obvious wrinkles between the brows.He felt in a daze that Zhao Shen's appearance was not exactly the same as when they first met, it turned out that his appearance would really change with age and experience.It's just that the description has changed in this life, so is the human heart?

They just talked about their parting this time without any disturbance, but Lu Youzhi knew from his heart that he was so calm just to cover up his anxiety.He lives indifferently every day, and others only feel that nothing can disturb his heart.It's just that he himself understands that he still has fear and timidity in his heart.It's just that he knows that fear is useless, and even though he is humble, he doesn't want to burden others; even though he doesn't know what Pei Yu wants, he just makes up his mind and refuses to let him manipulate him.

He saw that Zhao Shen's sleep seemed to be extremely restless, with fine sweat oozing from his forehead, and the dim light reflected his face like molten iron.And in the darkness, that person's usual sternness and determination disappeared in the shadows, and even the edges and corners seemed to become softer, more like a stone statue, smooth and smooth after being rubbed thousands of times.When the sun rises in the east, this stone sculpture will revive into a young general who is serious and unsmiling every day, but he, Lu Youzhi, can only live in the darkness of darkness.The stars move, day and night change, somewhere they are doomed to miss and never see each other again.

How could Zhao Shen know in his sleep how his handsome face was carved into another person's heart, and the more painful the cutting, the more profound it will be.Lu Youzhi leaned over slowly, this was all he had at the moment, and maybe he would never have another chance in the future.He gently kissed Zhao Shen's forehead, eyebrows, and felt that his skin was hot.With the caress of the cool lips, the man's brow seemed to be slightly relaxed.Lu Youzhi didn't dare to be greedy for fear that Zhao Shen would wake up suddenly, but in the end, he still bent his neck and kissed the man's lips.

He was full of nostalgia, but he knew that no matter how entangled he was, he would just drink poison to quench his thirst.The sharp edge flashed by the situation has already reached his throat, and he must make a decision at this time.Where the wind comes at night, the clouds disperse and reveal a new moon like a crescent moon, turning straight to the west.The moon sets and the sun rises, and the cycle of life and death begins in the prehistoric era, and it has never changed in the slightest because of the blood and sweat of wars and the sorrow of parting under the sky.

The night wind was still whistling, the soldiers outside the tent resounded, and you in the tent were silent.Zhao Shen's body temperature seemed to be still on his body a moment ago, but at this moment, his arms are empty.

At this moment, Li Meng, the defender in the south of the city, hastily left the city.The general guarding the city gate at the bottom of the city saw it, and hurried up and said: "We looked up from here, and the giant cart retreated half a mile."

Li Meng said: "I met you in the city. You are here to guard the gate. I will go out of the city and look at the Changgou."

The general said anxiously: "That huge cart is really difficult to stop, general..."

Before the words were finished, Li Meng stopped him and said, "Now the city is only buffered by the long ditch. If this place is lost again, you and I are watching here. If there is no one left, they will all be sacrificed to the military law!"

Having said this, no one is going to repeat it.When Li Meng arrived in front of Changgou, he saw a huge black shadow approaching slowly not far away.I can't see clearly in the night, I can only see that the blackness is like a wall, and I don't know what it is driving. The creaking sound of the ground seems to be crushing the bones of the body blocked in front of me.The night wind brought up dust, making it hard to breathe.

The officer guarding in the long ditch said: "Just now... just now this thing passed over the long ditch... just flattened a piece of ground, buried everyone, buried under the wheels..."

Li Meng said angrily: "You just stare in shock?"

The officer said: "The surroundings are all made of iron, even the wheels are covered with iron sheets... There are gun ports on the carriage... You can't go close..."

Li Meng saw that he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak smoothly, so he was also very surprised.Seeing that the giant cart was approaching again, it was only at this time that he could clearly see that the giant cart was almost as tall as a house, and the spokes of the wheel were as thick and long as a human arm.When he got closer, he could still see the blood-stained cloth wrapped in the spokes, which must have swept away the bodies of the soldiers who blocked him just now.

At this moment, Li Meng understood why the officer lost his composure so much.This giant car seems to be a monster in heavy armor, and it seems that it can swallow everyone here in one bite.He was in a daze, and the giant car had already driven to the front of the long ditch.Where a wheel as tall as one person ran over, the fortifications in front of the long ditch were destroyed in an instant, the soil was pushed into the long ditch, and the ravine was also filled.A soldier inserted the long halberd between the spokes of the wheel, but there was a crackling sound, and the halberd shaft was broken, but the giant car only paused for a moment, and then moved forward again as if unimpeded.

Another soldier wanted to approach, and arrows were shot out from inside the car.The defenders were at a loss, but the giant cart stopped suddenly and drove back for more than half a mile.

Li Meng just stood there dumbfounded, watching the huge monster retreating slowly, he couldn't regain his senses for a while.He had only seen such a battle formation in his life, and his mind was filled with shock: How should we deal with such an unstoppable battle tool?

The officer on the side trembled and said, "Why is it, why is it retreating like this?"

When Li Meng opened his mouth, he felt that he was almost indiscriminate, and only tightly grasped the hilt of the sword under his ribs. Fang Ping said in a panic: "It is for destroying the Changgou." After a pause, he said in horror, "When the long ditch is completely destroyed and he goes straight to the bottom of the city..." He couldn't help shouting, "You guys, you drag it with all your strength, I'll go see General Zhao immediately!"

When he arrived at the west gate of the city, he saw Zhao Shen was about to leave the city.Li Meng hurriedly stopped him and said: "You don't need to go, general, then, that giant car... I, I can see clearly from close up..." He was in a hurry, he was panting heavily, and the shock just now hadn't dissipated, so he said Still somewhat upside down, but always clear.After Zhao Shen heard this, he also felt troublesome, and said: "First tell them to put more thorns and gravel outside the ditch to make the road bumpy, and block it for now."

The guard said: "I have already done this before the battle. The giant car seems to slow down a bit, but it is still advancing and retreating back and forth, and it cannot be stopped."

Suddenly someone from the city rushed down to report: "I saw several giant carts coming towards this side!"

The atmosphere became more tense for a while, and someone said: "If you can damage the wheels of this giant cart, it will also stop."

Another person said: "You can send someone to use a long pole to pry the bottom of the wheel, or it will be overturned at once."

Zhao Shendao: "Those spears and halberds are only that long. The weight of this huge cart requires the strength of many people to move it."

Li Meng said: "But now this is finally a method, you can try it."

Zhao Shen resolutely said: "Nonsense! This is knowing that you can't do it, and besides being so close, isn't it just stuffing people under the car to die?"

Li Meng said: "General, the fortification of Changgou has been damaged a lot, if we let it come and go..."

Zhao Shendao: "I can save his plan." He pondered for a while and said, "Don't panic, go back to the city." Turning his head, he said, "Tell all the archers to go to the city."

He saw that the giant car was coming in a bad way, and secretly prepared for the battle in the city.It's just that when the long ditch was dug, it was made by the support of many people. If it was abandoned at this time, it would be really unwilling.

While thinking hard about the countermeasures, suddenly a school lieutenant shouted loudly: "Use fire to burn it!"

Everyone followed the sound to look at it, only to hear the captain say urgently: "I thought, even though this car is made of iron, it will always be deformed after being burned. If the wheels are crooked, it will be difficult to move forward."

After saying this, everyone raised their hands and said, "That's right, that's right!"

Unpredictably, some people said: "But, it is the west wind at this time, even if the fire is lit, it will burn down the city."

When this sentence came out, I was excited for a moment and then discouraged for a while.When everyone was annoyed, they suddenly heard Zhao Shen say: "Call Yuangui!"

However, the soldiers of the Xiyan Army who were watching from the giant chariot suddenly saw the city gate open, and when they looked again, they saw a cavalry team coming out, and hurriedly reported: "The cavalry from the city have come out!"

Hearing this, the commanding officer in the car sneered and said, "Could it be that the city really thinks that his cavalry is omnipotent? No matter how fast the horse is, the bow is strong, but it is also flesh and blood. It is possible that they will come up and collide with us." ? If you really don't want to open your eyes like this, tell them to eat more!"

The four wheels of this huge cart are driven by eight people on each side of the cart who push the wheels manually; there are jets on each side, and there are two people next to each jet;The officer said: "Hold on, everyone, no matter what he wants after a while, we will only do what we want." Then he shouted to the soldier watching: "You two watch from above, and pay more attention to the movement of other vehicles around you. "

Everyone answered "Yes" in unison, and the soldiers above shouted again: "The cavalry is coming!"

The military official was calm on the surface, but in fact he was worried.The people in the city have never seen this giant car, and it is also the first time for them to be driven.He had no idea what the enemy would do in response.He couldn't help shouting loudly: "The bow and crossbow are ready!"

Although there is a hole in front of him at the bottom of the car to reach the outside, his field of vision is narrow.Leaning to the entrance of the cave, I saw the oncoming cavalry passing by the longer and longer ditch. They seemed to be in front of us in a blink of an eye, but suddenly scattered, and it was too late to look at them again.He was puzzled in his heart, he only heard the sound of arrows from the crossbowmen on both sides for a moment, and then he heard the voice of the soldiers on the lookout with surprise: "Why are they all rushing behind us?"

This is when Yuan Gui led a group of people out of the city, crossed the long ditch all the way, avoided the cold arrows in the car, and drove to the back of the giant car.Inside the car, arrows were fired again and again, Yuan Gui said loudly: "Get in place!"

Dozens of cavalry quickly scattered and gathered, each with seven or eight people, following several giant carts.It's not too close, and it's just within the range of bows and arrows in the car.

Then Yuan Gui said in a long voice: "Light the fire!"

Among the seven or eight people, one person pulled out firewood from under the horse's belly, took out a flint and lit it loudly.The rest of the people drew their bows and arrows one after another and moved forward, only to hear Yuangui shout again: "Let the arrow!"

Everyone pointed at the rear wheel of the giant car and fired rockets.The flames fell on the rear wheels of the car, and as soon as the westerly wind passed, the flames licked like chasing the wheels.

Yuan Gui said: "This kind of fire will be extinguished as soon as you urinate in the car, work harder!"

Everyone responded in unison, and for a while, the flames went straight under the wheel.

The lookout shouted from inside the car: "It seems that a car has been burned and the wheels can't move!" The people in the car didn't expect this to happen, the flames rushed upwards, and the iron sheet was the most heat-transmitting, everyone in the car panicked for a moment. .Someone in the car lost his voice: "How is this good?"

The officer still held his breath, and shouted: "What is good? If you don't do it, you will die! It's all for you, and no one is allowed to mess up!" He said again, "Shoot them away with bows and crossbows!"

The soldiers who fired arrows shouted: "This bow and arrow cannot hit the enemy!"

If we talk about the Los Angeles cavalry, horsemanship and bow and arrow are the two best.Needless to say, this riding skill, but half of the strength of the crossbow is due to Zhao Shen's preference.Under normal circumstances, infantry use longbows, and cavalry use curved bows; the bow and arrow range of the cavalry is not as good as that of the infantry.Once upon a time there was a bow maker in Xiangcheng, Zhao Shen specially invited this craftsman to come to Luocheng to make bows and crossbows for cavalry.Therefore, the Luocheng cavalry used all hard bows and long arrows, the range of which was half as far as usual.At this time, the bows and arrows in the car could not reach the cavalry, so they could only let them shoot their arrows.

The officer scolded: "Tamp the goods, then we will retreat!"

He was also enlightened: the giant chariot retreated, and the Los Angeles cavalry also retreated. Are they still standing there waiting to be shot?But the soldier who pushed the wheel shaft was also shocked, and only knew to listen to the order to move.When the wheels turned, the car rolled backwards.

The order of the officer in the car was really wrong.It turned out that the kindling that was poked by the arrow was not very big, and the wind was so strong that it burned quickly. Although the fire was strong, it did not last long.The wheels ran over the flames in such a way that they suppressed all the flames, and the remaining bits and pieces were blown to ashes in the wind for a moment.I saw that the red-hot iron wheel turned again and moved forward.

This one set an example, and the giant cars on both sides also turned.Seeing this, Yuangui felt anxious and said repeatedly: "Fire the arrow again!"

But they only listened to the crowd: "General, there are no more arrows to shoot..."

At that time, the morning light suddenly appeared, and the distant sky was vast, and the row of black shadows outside the city moved forward again, as if breaking through the mist.There was no yelling and killing before the formation, and the giant cart approaching slowly became more ferocious in this strange and chilling killing.The long ditch under the city has just been cut into several sections, and orders can no longer be heard among soldiers in various places.The wind howled, circling and hitting the wall behind him, and the banners on the top of the city fluttered.

Everyone in the long ditch has seen all of this section, the captain of the general in the ditch has his throat rolling, and his hands have been dug into the soil tightly.Seeing the line of giant carts getting closer, he said slowly, "Is there any tung oil left in the ditch when the fireball was cast a few days ago?"

Someone on the side said: "There is still a little left."

The school lieutenant gritted his teeth and said: "Drew in front of the battle." He added: "When the flames ignited, we took advantage of the fact that the iron sheet at the bottom of the wheel was heated and softened and easily deformed, and smashed hard..."

Before he finished speaking, everyone understood.They had just seen the cavalry's move, although it fell short, it was somewhat effective.Now such a method of warfare must be able to run rampant without teaching the giant chariot.But in this way, the people in the long ditch have no time to escape.But if they want to stop this huge cart from going to the city, they have no choice but to sacrifice their lives here.

The captain said: "If you don't want to..."

Someone once said: "My family Xiaoquan is in the city, I would rather die than destroy the city."

Everyone said: "We are not afraid of death."

The giant cart moved forward with a bang, and the watching soldiers said: "It's strange, why are all the people in the long ditch standing still?"

The officer snorted and said, "This is really a trick of the mantis."

Before the words fell, I heard someone singing loudly in front of me: "Zhancheng south, rushing to the yellow dust, Dan Jing, Dian, Drum and Thunder." I don't know which section of the trench the song came from. Hearing the voices of those who responded from all around: "The enemy is fierce, the army is imposing, and the formation is like clouds in the wilderness." Above the wilderness, the wind is rustling, enveloping the singing and rising from the ground, but it seems to be condensed in mid-air without dissipating; At first, it was just the beginning, and then it seemed like a spark sparked a prairie fire.The more the song gathered, the more majestic it became, until it was like a rushing river and a trembling mountain: "Fighting the Great Shun, responding to the three spirits, the righteousness will make people forget their lives."

The officer in the car changed his expression, and shouted loudly: "Quick, let's charge forward!" There was a creaking sound inside the car, and the wheels rushed forward, and it was already getting faster and faster.The singing sound seemed to be proudly facing the enemy, the voice vibrated and reverberated from the wagon: "Long sword strikes, loud and weak sounds, flying dysprosiums swaying and rushing to the stars."

At that time, several giant carts had already gathered in front of the long ditch, and the singing was like strong wine poured on the flames. The light, heat, and air waves scorched the sky and the earth in the cold morning—"The tiger rides leaps, the flowers spin, and the red fire spreads the smoke .”

In front of the long ditch, a dazzling blaze rose up in response to the sound, together with the thick dust and smoke, countless bangs sounded like yellow bells, which were deafening.Amidst the roaring noise, it seemed as if there was still a high-spirited battle song, "The hero cuts, the flag is raised high, and the long horns float and cry to clear the sky."

When the gunpowder smoke cleared, several giant vehicles were crooked and crumbling, and one of them even fell into the long ditch.After the loud bang, the front of the formation returned to silence again.There was still an unextinguished flame on the ground, which made the iron sheet outside the overturned giant car red hot.The rising sun has risen from the east, reflecting in front of the battle through the tall city walls and wisps of gunpowder smoke.Blood and fire are intertwined, and under the golden and red sunrise, there is no difference between the three.

The author has something to say:

The song sung before the battle is He Chengtian's "War City South" in Song "Drumming Naoge", which is actually a war poem from the Southern Dynasties.All rights reserved, hereby stated

The so-called "giant car" can be regarded as the YY evolution of Gao Huan's "rushing car" in the Battle of Yubi. The mechanical feasibility, please don't be serious... It's a pity that this YY can't be put on tracks...

And it took so much effort to clean up the periphery of the city
