22, the final victory
With the old witch shouting, the remaining wine she had poured out sprinkled directly on Niu Fu's face.
The spicy residual wine was poured on Niu Fu's face, stimulating Niu Fu's eyes, mouth, and nose, choking Niu Fu's tears and coughing repeatedly, making him feel embarrassed.
The old witch put down the wine jar in her hand, her face was frosty, and she looked at all this coldly.
Niu Fu coughed for a long time before slowly coming to his senses. Seeing the old witch looking at him coldly, his scalp was numb when he saw the strange eyes. He was shocked and quickly wiped away the wine from his face and asked in a dim manner:
"Master, why is it here?"
The old witch heard Niu Fu's daily respectful title, and also raised her airs, snorted coldly before saying slowly:
"Just just heard the general's personal guard say that the general was drunk and played the sword. Lao I rushed forward, but saw that the general was confused and blasphemed the gods. He seemed to be a demon. He used his magic to expel him. Does the general still remember what happened just now?"
Seeing the old witch saying solemnly, Niu Fu couldn't help but feel frightened. He recalled his words and deeds just now, and vaguely remembered that there seemed to be something wrong with the old witch's words, but if he wanted to dig deeper, the more he thought about it, the more he felt the headache, and he couldn't grasp any key points.
The old witch saw Niu Fu bowing his head and not saying anything, and did not allow him to think too much, and continued to say solemnly:
"The general is worried about military affairs, so he is restless and is taken advantage of by the evil spirit. In a trance, it is okay to find out the true or false."
After pausing, seeing that Niu Fu seemed to have reacted, the old witch continued:
"The general wanted to make divination before, and it was a great auspicious thing. The hexagram was the first sixth day of the Xun Gua, which was advancing and retreating, and benefiting the chastity of the martial artist. Don't be suspicious of the general. The gods will never make any mistakes."
Niu Fu was a little embarrassed and could only nod his head weakly.
The old witch saw Niu Fu nodding and then curled her lips slightly with satisfaction. A smile appeared on her face, and even the wrinkles on her face became cracked. She just looked at the messy lobby, and her face dimmed again, and she said to Niu Fu again:
"If the general is not happy, why should he drink to relieve his sorrow? Although my little disciples are not good at it, they are also good at being a good person. After being mediated by my elders, they can best eliminate worries. Why don't the general come with me to meet them!"
Niu Fuyi felt very excited when he heard the old witch put away her beauty's female disciples, but he immediately thought of the current war. At this time, the military situation was so critical that as the chief general of the army, he dared not have such thoughts, so he had to refuse in embarrassment.
The two talked a few more times, and looking at Niu Fu who continued to show respect for the gods, the old witch dismissed with satisfaction. Seeing the old witch's somewhat hunched body gradually moving away, Niu Fu's eyes, which were spraying with alcohol, became a little dispersed again, and he murmured to himself, as if questioning, or comforting himself.
"Xun Feng, the sixth day of the first lunar month, advance and retreat, benefit the virginity of the martial people."
···
The valley pass of Baibo Valley was finally broken.
At first, although he saw the cavalry that continued to pour into the Han army from the Gukou Mountain Road, and a large number of his own soldiers who had become prisoners of the other side, the Baibo soldiers who were defending the pass were also frightened. When he saw the heads cut off last night by the Han army knights throwing the heads cut off last night, it was even more in chaos. In addition, some Baibo prisoners ran to the pass and loudly advised the defenders to surrender, which immediately reduced the morale of the Baibo soldiers who defended the pass to the lowest point, and even soldiers were ready to escape.
However, after Bai Bo Qushuo chopped off two soldiers who were trying to escape, even though the Bai Bo soldiers were trembling, they had to pick up their weapons and prepare for battle under the pressure of the sword dripping with blood.
So, Xu Kun, who was determined to pay a huge price to take down the pass, immediately ordered to drive away the Baibo army's prisoners to attack the pass. Baibo Qu, who was defending the pass, also loudly ordered that no matter whether the enemy or the others, once they approached, they would be as wood and stone as they were.
A bloody and cruel battle began. On the narrow mountain road, the Han cavalry in armor and soldiers had to get off their horses and walk behind to drive the Baibo army prisoners forward. The condescending Baibo soldiers shot arrows and threw stones on the wall of the pass, blocking the advance of the attacking crowd. The Baibo prisoners who were pushed to the front were seriously injured, and the wailing sounded throughout the valley.
If Ci doesn't take charge of the troops, Yan Xing must not be rude at this time. He and Xu Kun continue to let the soldiers drive away the Bai Bo army's prisoners in batches and take turns to attack, first using these prisoners to consume the arrows, wood, stones and physical strength of the defending Bai Bo soldiers.
When nearly a thousand Baibo's prisoners were almost killed or injured, the rain of arrows and wood and stones on the valley passes became much thinner, so Xu Kun and Yan Xing also began to launch a general attack.
Cao Yuan, who had previously asked to climb to attack the pass, took Meng Tu, Wei Xuan and the first Han soldiers and pushed them up with a large wave, trying to set fire to destroy the fence at the gap, but Bai Bo Qu Shuai quickly used sand and soil to extinguish the flames, and became a stalemate with Cao Yuan and others at the gap.
Cao Yuan and others finally took advantage of the lives of so many White Bo Army captives, and spent most of their energy on the enemy at the pass and successfully pushed them to the fence at the gap. At this time, they were willing to waste all their efforts, so they continued to attack regardless of the casualties.
Cao Yuan had the most intense attitude because he had asked for a battle in front of Yan Xing. He drew his sword and charged forward, killing several bandits in succession. He was about to successfully open the gap. At this time, Bai Bo Qu Shuai, who was still fighting in the trap, also found Cao Yuan who was shouting loudly to motivate the soldiers, so he mobilized the remaining archers to shoot arrows at Cao Yuan together.
Although the soldiers around him were protecting him with a big flap in his hand, Cao Yuan, who was in front of him, was still shot on his left shoulder. Although he was steady, he knew that if he hesitated at this time, he would be immediately pushed down by the counterattacking Bai Bo soldiers, who had spent so many lives in vain.
So Cao Yuan broke the arrow shaft and continued to order the rush. Meng Tu and Wei Xuan also held swords and shields and fought to the death. Yan Xing, who was watching them charge below, was afraid that they would make mistakes, and quickly gathered the second wave of troops, led by Ma Lin and Gan Ling, and rushed towards the pass.
Cao Yuan and others who were supported by the new force were greatly excited, and the gap was opened smoothly, and a large area of fence was pushed down. However, Bai Bo Qu Shuai also knew that it was a critical moment of life and death, and he joined the battle group with the remaining personal guards, and the situation once again became stalemate.
Nearly a thousand Baibo defenders had already been pressed over. Xu Kun and Yan Xing also sent 400 soldiers to attack the gap. The Han army was as powerful as rainbows, and the Baibo army had the advantage of numerical power. The soldiers on both sides fought in groups, and no one was willing to take a step back in the narrow mountain road.
In view of this, Xu Kun and Yan Xing also fought hard to suppress all the troops that had been under the throne and supported by less than 100 people, and continued to support the Baibo defenders who were in the offensive gap.
In the back formation, watching the fierce battle between the enemy and us, Xu Huang, who was temporarily reinforcing Yan Xing's personal guard, was so excited that his hair was spit out. He generously asked for orders and took thirty soldiers to take the head of Bai Bo Qushu in the crowd. After receiving Yan Xing's encouragement and approval, Xu Huang, wearing two layers of armor and holding a heavy axe, took the lead and rushed into the crowd in front of the thirty warriors and ran towards the direction where Bai Bo Qushu was.
Xu Huang was strong and had extraordinary strength, so he could wear two layers of armor and still steadily. He stared at Bai Bo Qu Shuai who was still dying. He kept walking in the crowd, only protecting the vital parts of his body, and was not afraid of the weapons of Bai Bo soldiers. His two layers of armor were thick, even if he broke the armor, he still could not cause fatal damage. In addition, he had the heavy weapon of the big axe in his hand. In the melee, this equipment like an iron armored beast immediately showed its power.
Wherever the heavy axe passed, all the Baibo soldiers blocking the road were separated. Even if they used a large spear, they could not do anything to meet Xu Huang's attack. Xu Huang waved his axe one after another, cutting off several spears that stretched out and pricked them. Then, using the gaps where the opponent's broken spear appeared, relying on the thick armor on his body, a charge, using the huge impulse to knock the shield, slashed horizontally and vertically, and forcibly emerged.
Seeing Xu Huang so fiercely, the thirty soldiers following him also rushed forward and stormed the shaking front of Bai Bo's army. Cao Yuan, Meng Tu, Wei Xuan, Ma Lin, Gan Ling and other soldiers also saw Xu Huang coming from behind and showing their might, forcing Bai Bo's soldiers to retreat one after another, and were not willing to let the enemy down. They raised their strength and continued to charge the previous one, and met with Xu Huang.
On the contrary, there were more than a dozen Baibo soldiers blocking the road and dying under Xu Huang's axe. The more they got behind, the fewer Baibo soldiers who dared to move forward again. They were frightened and kept retreating. Even if Baibo Qu Shuai held up a blood-dropping sword and slashed the head of a retreating soldier, he could not stop their momentum of retreating and escaping.
The Baibo Qushu saw this heavy armored axe, and the blood-filled killing god kept chopping and killing his soldiers to the ground. The soldiers holding a spear in front of him were like native chickens and tiled dogs, and they broke down at once, scaring the other soldiers to fight again. They knew that if it weren't for the narrow mountain road at the pass, the enemy would not have been able to advance quickly to expand the gap, and their side could not continue to step back. One side would have been defeated long ago, and the soldiers would have fled.
At present, being forced to such an extent, most of the dangerous places in the pass were occupied by Han soldiers, and only one corner of his defender could be defended. If he retreated, the entire natural danger would be given to the Han army. At that time, the Han army would be condescending, and the one who would be waiting for death would be his own side.
Knowing that the situation in front of him was decided, but he had to support his relatives in the valley for a while. Regardless of the blood flowing from several wounds on his body, he shouted loudly to one of his guards:
"You bring people to set fire, use the fire to block the Han army's attack, and let the old and weak in the valley retreat step by step. Others are not allowed to retreat. Follow me, fight to the death, fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
The bravery of Baiboqu, who was charging forward again, infected some soldiers around him. He was originally a civilian leader who was obedient. If he had not been forced to have no way out by this world, how could he choose to take over the mountain and raise up? The road to life is now slim, so it would be better to die a heroic life so that his family could retreat smoothly.
