Chapter 5 Death

Through the grass-covered valley and over a gentle hillside, you can see the stone castle city above the cliff from afar.

The night is as cool as water, and the moonlight is bright and clean.

The rising moon in the east is like a half-face with a weird expression. The lower moon hangs in the air. When you look closely, you can imagine it as eyes, nose, mouth, etc.

It would be better if the moon is dark and the wind is high, but the weather is good tonight and the light is pretty good.

Xue Chongxun looked at him and could see the black shadow of the castle on the mountain. This scene reminded him of the Western devil castle, probably the same way?

A cool breeze hit, and he couldn't help but tremble. The night in this plateau area was so fucking cold.

To be honest, he is really depressed now and he doesn't think he can take down this perverted fortress.

In a word, the road ahead is difficult to walk, and the trouble is far from over.

Do you regret it?

Because I have to kill someone, I have to be responsible for it!

He thought about it and didn't feel anything to regret.

At that time, Jincheng's marriage was already a national policy, and time was very urgent. He had no power and could not change anything. Even if he wanted to provoke a war between the two countries, he could not find a way. The time was too short...

War is not so easy to provoke.

Unless it is easier to see Lang slash with a knife like today during the day.

He looked back at the soldiers around him with solemn expressions, but felt a little guilty. They were the most innocent and had to pay the price for reasons that had nothing to do with their own interests or the country.

Jet Li said in "The Savior" that soldiers can die, but they cannot die incorrectly.

These Tang army soldiers died because of Xue Chongxun's mistake to some extent.

Xue Chongxun felt a little sad when he wanted to give up.The higher the identity, the greater the price of mistakes, and blood blew and corpses were everywhere.

I don’t know when he found that he gradually began to think about the people around him... I remember that Yuwen Ji gave a rabbit, and she just hoped that she would become like this?

After pondering for a while, Xue Chongxun shook his head, abandoned many thoughts of looking back and forth, took a deep breath and said: The moon is in the east, and we can hide under the hillside extending from the northwest to the stone castle city.After a while, we attacked the city, and Xianggong Zhang then led the horse team east and went their separate ways.It’s a long night and a lot of dreams, so let’s go now.

At this moment, Jin Cheng grabbed Xue Chongxun's hand with a pale face and said: I can't leave!This happened because of me, I couldn't leave...

Xue Chongxun shook his head and said: Your Highness is determined to marry and promote peace on the border. It is not your instructor to kill Lang. What are you wrong?You are not wrong!If someone must sacrifice this world, then the sacrifice should not be a woman!I can't stand that humiliation, either.

He is indeed afraid of death, but living humiliatedly and living in vain is even worse than death.

This sentence was a bit inciting. Nan Yabing was originally holding back his complaints and helplessness. When he heard this empty and ethereal statement, he seemed to have found some meaning in this meaningless thing.

Xue Chongxun looked at Jincheng's beautiful face and sighed: Let go, go to the Flying Tiger Group.

Jincheng choked and said: I'll wait for you, I'll wait for your news in the capital. If it's bad news, I'll go with you!

Xue Chongxun said angrily: Don’t you understand yet?What's the point of doing that?Live well!I hope you end up dying of old age in the bed.Everything I did for you today, and it is also a wonderful thing to recall when you get old.

He stopped talking and pulled his hand back from Jincheng's palm without mercy, grabbed the horizontal knife scabbard and raised it and said: Let's go!

The troops then advanced along the foot of the mountain, and were still a distance away from the city. Xue Chongxun was afraid that he would be discovered by the enemy soldiers when he was approaching, so he asked the Flying Tiger Regiment to stay behind to cut down trees and make ladders, and lead the South Yamen soldiers to go first.

Who opened the Shicheng Gate?Even more, I accidentally heard that the wind fell.The Bailing in Jietian is better than Jin Tang, suppressing the southwest half of the sky.

The city faces a river valley and is backed by a mountain. The mountains on both sides are undulating and cliffs, like gossip spreading their wings.

There is no other way except for the short path ahead.

To capture Shibao City, you can only go up from the trail on the ridge.

When the troops arrived at the foot of the mountain, Xue Chongxun clasped his fists to Zhang Shuo, Zhang Wulang and others and said goodbye simply, deliberately not even looking at Jin Cheng, but only saw her sad expression in the aftermath of the light.

He recruited generals from the Fourth Regiment's South Yamen to make an attack arrangement.

At this time, a veteran with a gray beard said in a low voice: I went up to Fan here when I was a teenager. This castle has two square platforms of all sizes. It is an outpost for the front. If you want to go up, you must first take down the square platform. It is impossible not to disturb the top.

Xue Chongxun thought for a while and said: This is a fortress. Can the enemy soldiers still leave no sentinels? All of them are shrouded in bed?It is certain that it was discovered before the attack. What we need to do is to attack when they are not prepared and take the city gate!In this way, the first two regiments are used as the first wave of attacks, and are in units of teams. After the first team arrives at the square platform, they are divided into two attacking teams. If they cannot attack for a while, they will be suppressed with a crossbow; the second team should not stop, continue to run up the mountain, quickly touch the mountain, and suddenly attack the city at all costs. If it goes well, the two regiments behind will continue to follow up and enter the city together.What's the problem?

All the generals looked at me, and I looked at you, but they didn't say anything.Xue Chongxun paused for a long time, and then said: No problem, just do it like this. Go back and prepare and start immediately!

The last one will be waiting for orders.The generals clasped their fists together and said, "There is nothing to talk about when people are trying to make a living at the edge of the knife."

The four regiments leaned over and laid them at the foot of the mountain, without heavy weapons, only simple ladders made temporarily.

The two regiments in the first battle sequence were responsible for raiding the city, and ladders were assigned from the second team, with nothing else.

Xue Chongxun looked up at the path in the mountains and wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, unable to tell what it felt.Looking back at the left and right, the soldiers all looked solemn and showed a sad expression.

Silk... Accompanied by a thin sound of metal friction, Xue Chongxun slowly pulled out the horizontal knife around his waist.

At this moment, the team responsible for the first wave of attacks was suddenly turned around and said: I am waiting for the death to fight today, so I don’t want to lose my Tang Jun’s face!

The troops immediately felt awe.Xue Chongxun nodded, waved his sword upwards, and shouted: First team, go!Two regiments of soldiers followed up!

The people in front stood up, picked up long and short weapons, and lined up in a slender column and ran towards the path.

After a while, there was a noise coming from above, probably because the enemy soldiers at the outpost were discovered, and the sound of bangs and shouts sounded.

A moment later, the fire lit up on the square platform and the fire rose into the sky.

Seeing this, Xue Chongxun shouted to Zhang: Mr. Zhang, there will be a date later!

Zhang Shuo turned over and said with a horse, clasped his fists and said: I am waiting for the prince to return safely in Chang'an.

Xue Chongxun smiled and said: At that time, I will invite Li Guinian to the palace to sing the song, and everyone will gather together.

The battle on the hillside has begun, and the left team of the first regiment is following the established plan and split into two groups to attack the big and small square platforms.

The right team crossed over and continued to run up the mountain, trying to attack the city if the enemy soldiers were not prepared enough.

The soldiers rushed to the city. When they rushed to the bottom of the city, they suddenly saw the Tubo people standing behind a big stone watching. When they saw the Tang army approaching, they shouted and started pushing the stone.

The right team was standing in front, seeing the situation on the city clearly. The road was narrow and there was no place to hide. It was too late to rush up, and his face suddenly became as if dead.

Dong!With a loud noise from the ground, the big stone was pushed down from the city, just in time to fall into a concave tunnel, and rolled along the road.

Seeing this situation, the team would undoubtedly die. Before that, they waved their long sword and shouted: Long live the Tang Dynasty!

After a moment, the stones rolled over the people in front of them, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere. Some people couldn't see this and jumped down the mountain and rolled along the steep hillside.

After the stone rolled out of the road, the people behind mustered up the courage to continue rushing forward and again.

The front of the city immediately attacked with a crossbow. The burning crossbow was thrown by the red. The Tang army was killed and injured. There were many people behind them. They could not retreat, nor could they retreat. They could only risk their lives to rush forward and fight back with a crossbow.

The upper team fought hard for a long time, and a soldier went down the mountain to report to Xue Chongxun: The big and small platforms have been captured, and the siege has been blocked.The entire right team of the First Regiment was killed and half of the team was killed and horses were killed and killed. The brothers continued to charge.

Xue Chongxun asked: What weapons do the enemy soldiers use to attack?

People come to say: rolling stones, rolling wood, strong crossbows, crossbows, etc.

There is someone who pays his blood and life in every blink of an eye. Xue Chongxun is so heart-wrenching for the first time. This feeling is not painful for himself, but it is painful for others. It is hard to describe.

His brows were frowning, solemn.

Never commanded a siege before. His first experience was to nibble such a stone castle. When he heard that the attack was unfavorable, his confidence immediately dropped to freezing point.

At this moment, he realized that he was inexperienced and wanted to ask the general next to him what to do?

These generals are not short of veterans on the battlefield.

However, the captains and brigade commanders of the two regiments behind were looking at him and counting on him to make a decision.

Should we ask them what to do?

In the face of the situation, there is a way to do anything!

Xue Chongxun's palm was covered in slippery sweat. He clenched his fists and his nails pierced his skin without even realizing it.

A brigade coach said: King of Hedong, the Second Regiment is about to be exhausted. Will Fangtai’s team be on the top?Should we make up for it?

Will you continue to die if you go up?Perhaps, this battle itself is suicide!

At this moment, a horse ran from the foot of the mountain and ran to this side. The knight strangled the horse, rolled down from the horse's back, and knelt down on one knee and said, "Report to the prince, ten miles behind, a large Tubo horse team was found.

After hearing this, the soldiers' faces were pale and looked at each other.A general couldn't help but say: If we can't win the Stone Castle City in two moments, we will face a situation of attacking each other, and we will definitely be wiped out!
