The Beacon Record of the Eight Parts of the Dragon [Xiao Feng x Murong Fu colleagues]

"He was used far from the center of culture,

Abandoned by his generals and his lice,

So in a padded jacket he closed his eyes

And leave this world.People won't mention him. "

——"Chinese Soldiers", [English] WH Auden

=======================

After sleeping until midnight, Guo Cheng on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.

Joining the army at the age of 13, the instinct of a soldier has already penetrated into the bone marrow.Even if no one comes to urge him, Guo Cheng can wake up when he needs it.

He didn't get up immediately, and lay quietly under the quilt for a while, longing for the warmth, listening to the footsteps of the patrolling soldiers outside the tent.It was freezing cold, and I occasionally heard the shift change password, so I lowered my voice and shouted softly.The soldiers' armor and weapons sounded softly.It belongs to the blade, the sound of metal.

Guo Cheng lifted off the quilt that was still warm, turned over and got out of bed.He didn't turn on the lamp, he groped in the dark to finish washing, his movements were brisk and methodical: first put on the purple military robe, then put on the thin jacket that was issued yesterday, put on the leggings, put on the combat boots, picked up the armor on the bedside, All dressed up.

The heavy armor knocked on his calf.Guo Cheng opened the door of the tent and walked out, nodding to the guards outside the tent.All the lights in the surrounding tents were brightly lit, and the soldiers were getting up.

He walked alone to eat breakfast in the big tent.At this time, there were not many people eating, and a few were scattered.The porridge had already been cooked, and after cooling for a while, a layer of oily skin formed.The chopsticks catch the lukewarm porridge and rice, and the pickled melon is cold, and some of them don't know the taste.However, Guo Cheng was thinking about the fierce battle in the future today.He needs to eat.

After eating two steamed buns and a bowl of porridge, the number of soldiers in the tent gradually increased.Guo Cheng got up, smiled and nodded to several familiar generals, without saying hello.There is always this vast, tacit silence before a great war.

Guo Cheng walked to his tent, counted the horses' weapons one by one, took the helmet handed over by the soldiers, put it on, grabbed the bridle, and got on the horse.The mount had rested all night, full of energy, then raised its head and neighed.

Two thousand elite soldiers have already lined up and waited.The army was solemn and solemn, with bright armor and numerous weapons, and no one said a word, not even the slightest sound of the armor and weapons, what a silent and chilling army.

In this battle, Liu Changzuo gave him the order to lead two thousand soldiers to ambush on the side of Mibo Mountain, wait for the command of the general, and act at the right time.After Guo Cheng gave out his orders one by one, the leader of the army hurried away quietly in the pre-dawn night.

Walking to the gate of the camp, he saw Murong Fu riding on a horse, watching someone order soldiers.He was wearing a thin armor, with a long knife hanging from his waist, his hair was tightly tied at the top, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his face was solemn, reflected by the beating light of the torch like frost and snow.

"Murong." Guo Cheng called out, pulling his horse up to him.

"Mibo Mountain?" Turning around and seeing him approaching, Murong Fu only asked three words.

Guo Cheng nodded.

Murong Fuding stared at him for a while: "Go quickly. Before dawn."

Guo Cheng beat the horse forward two steps, stretched out his hand on the horse's back, grabbed the back of Murong Fu's neck and pulled him closer, leaned his forehead against his forehead, and said word by word: "You will lead the battle with Qianxia today. Be careful."

"It's so easy to die." Murong Fu smiled lightly, and with a little force on his hand, he gently pushed him back a step.

Guo Cheng smiled, let go of the situation, stared at him for a while, turned the horse's head without saying a word, and the leader galloped away without looking back.

====================

Tianjing Mountain and Mibo Mountain are steep mountains with overlapping peaks, forming a mountain pass at Sizikou. The rocks on both sides are steep and steep, and there is a wide waterway in the middle.To set up a pass and build a pass here, there is indeed a man who is in charge of the pass, and there is a tendency that no one can open it.

Liang Yi of Xixia led [-] elite Xia troops to guard this place, but no ambush was seen elsewhere.Therefore, Liu Changzuo decided to dispatch surprise soldiers from the east of Qingshui River after listening to the report from the scouts.

Before dawn, the army has already set off.Liu Changzuo personally led [-] elite soldiers in front, Yao Lin led [-] shield soldiers closely behind, Murong Fu and other young generals led [-] infantry each in a wing shape to retreat, and then there were god-arm bows and crossbows. The army and cavalry, mighty and mighty, crossed mountains and ridges in one go, and traveled to the bank of the Hulu River.

With a wave of his hand, Liu Changzuo ordered the whole army to stop advancing.

At this point, it is noon.The sun was strong, falling straight from the top of his head, scalding the iron armor on his body.The sound of the river is mighty.You can clearly see the soldiers coming and going in the Xia army camp on the opposite side, and the crowds are crowded.

"Cross the river!" Liu Changzuo said loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Song army's vanguard troops had already started to move.Several groups of troops rushed out of the army formation, scattered along the river in an orderly manner, and set up more than a dozen crossing points.Immediately, the crowd separated, several boats and dozens of rafts and skin rafts were transported out, and a pontoon bridge was erected on the river.

The vanguard troops crossing the river are all well-trained and extremely fast.Not long after, several rough pontoon bridges were built along the slope of the water flow from northwest to southeast.However, at this time, the sentry on the front line of the Xixia Army had already discovered the movement of the Song Army crossing the river.I only heard that there were shouts and shouts, and some people rushed to report the words of Xixia.Not long after, there were voices and the sound of horseshoes coming over the ground, shaking the ground.The sun reflected on the spears, refracting a dazzling light.

The Xixia army is coming here.

Liu Changzuo has been riding back and forth by the river, watching the enemy's situation.At this time, seeing the army pressing down, he called Yao Lin and the two generals in charge of the god arm bow to his side, and ordered:

"I want to personally lead an army and cross the river to take the lead. Please use the two generals to cover me and cross the river. Adjutant Yao, you are here to coordinate the overall situation, arrange for the army to cross the river, and send reinforcements to come to meet them. There is a Please leave the position to General Yao. Be careful not to teach the Xixia people to break the pontoon bridge."

Yao Lin got the order, cupped his hands silently, and galloped to inform the whole army.

The God Arm Bow Army moved after hearing the order, spread out in formation by the river, bowed their bows and set up arrows one after another, waiting for the formation.This kind of crossbow has a range of 240 steps. It is not as bulky as a bed crossbow. It only needs to be held by one person. It can penetrate heavy armor and be used on sergeants.At this time, the forward of the Xixia army saw that the crossbowmen on the other side of the river had already set up their positions, and their advance was stagnant, but then pressed forward again.

But that moment is exactly what Liu Changzuo needs.

He jumped off the horse and shouted: "Pioneer Lang! Cross the river with me!"

He waved his hand again and shouted: "God Arm Bow! Listen to my orders! Let the arrows go!"

Before he could say a word, a thousand arrows were fired from behind, like a sudden rain.The Xia army on the other side had no place to hide. Seeing the rain of arrows raining down on their heads, the lineup collapsed.Liu Changzuo took advantage of the random firing of crossbow arrows, led five hundred elite soldiers, climbed onto the pontoon bridge, and headed straight for the opposite bank.These five hundred personal soldiers are all carefully selected, accompanied by the commander in charge of the battle, and a powerful army that has been tempered with blood and fire. At this time, they all shouted, full of fighting spirit, and rushed across the pontoon bridge with the commander in one go. Go, as soon as you set foot on the land on the other side, you have already plunged into the fierce battle regardless of your own safety.

Seeing them crossing the river, Song Jun was all refreshed.At this time, another round of crossbows and crossbows were fired at once, covering another group of troops to cross the river.

Liu Changzuo took the reins from the soldiers, got on the horse, panted for a while, looked at the soldiers who had just crossed the river, and then pointed the spear in his hand at one of them and said: "Li Shaoming, you stay here, command the soldiers One hundred soldiers, guard the pontoon bridge, nothing will be lost."

The soldier hurried out and bowed to accept his orders.

"Murong Fu! Yang Zhongqing!" Liu Changzuo pointed at the spear again and shouted. "The two of you each lead five hundred infantry, outflank the left and right and try to attack!"

Murong Fu's heart froze, he urged the horse forward, cupped his hands and said loudly: "Obey!"

"When the two of you succeed, come and join me. This will definitely take his pass." Liu Changzuo said, and immediately turned his horse's head, raised his spear, and led the team away at a fast speed.

He took the lead and rushed in front of the formation, followed by two lieutenants on the left and right, and a personal soldier held high the handsome flag with the word "Liu", hunting and flying in the wind.As soon as this elite soldier rushed into the enemy's formation, it was like a dagger that had been tempered for thousands of years, and immediately opened a bloody path through the thousands of troops.

Liu Changzuo, with a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, charged and hacked immediately.He was closely followed by two lieutenants, both of whom were extremely brave. One wielded an iron mace and danced like a tiger and tiger, no one came close to him, and the other held a long sword like chopping melons and vegetables. So he freed his hand, bent his bow and set an arrow, and shot the enemy off his horse again and again.The three of them seemed to be in an uninhabited land, they were invincible, leading [-] elite soldiers, they became more and more courageous as they fought, and the Xia soldiers who were in contact with them were defeated in the first battle.Not long after, they approached the pass, and even the faces and clothes of the soldiers on guard could be seen clearly.

Seeing a group of surprise soldiers approaching, the higher-ups shouted and shot arrows.Liu Changzuo's subordinates were all armored soldiers. At this time, they all raised their shields to block, and retreated a little to avoid their sharp edge.

Liu Changzuo stopped his horse, panted for a while, then looked around for a while, and said loudly:

"Where's the divine arm bow? Have you crossed the river yet?"

"Report to the jurisdiction! All three armies have crossed the river!" A soldier hurriedly reported back and forth, "Only 1000 people were left guarding the pontoon bridge on the other side."

When Liu Changzuo heard this, his expression eased, and he said immediately:

"Pass my order down: rectify the lineup, and the shield soldiers will follow me forward! The god arm bow will be postponed, followed by infantry and cavalry."

The messenger got the order and left in the dust.Liu Changzuo watched the battle on all sides for a while, then looked up at the Xixia guards waiting in full force at the pass, and said with a cold snort, "Today it seems that I need to meet Liang Yidao in person for a while."

As he spoke, he held up his shield, tightened his armor with one hand, raised his spear, and said, "Second General Yang Bu! Come with me!"

Here Murong Fu led [-] soldiers, led an outflank attack on the right, and went to the pass to join Liu Changzuo.

He is of Xianbei blood, born to be very good at riding and shooting, galloping on horseback as if walking on flat ground, at this time he rushed to the front of the formation with a knife, like a dragon swimming, with a majestic wind, leading the soldiers under his command, with the remaining prestige of landing just now, he rushed straight to the front of the battle. Charged towards the central position of the Xixia Army, like a sharp knife, instantly stirred into the depths of the Xixia Army's formation.

When Murong Fu broke through and led the troops to kill, Liu Changzuo took the lead and leaped up the pass with his shield in hand. At this time, he was fighting hard with Xia soldiers on the city gate.He summoned up his supernatural power, and a long/spear made him superb, so even though the backup did not arrive, he still had the courage to stand up to ten.

The soldiers shouted one after another and wanted to rush to the rescue, but they were blocked by a burst of arrows from the Xixia Army, but a few extremely loyal and brave soldiers took the lead in attacking with rattan shields, and locked Liu Changzuo in the center.However, the enemy is outnumbered and we can't break out of the siege for a while.

At this time, a man suddenly appeared from the pass, dressed as a high-ranking Xixia general, with a full beard, majestic and majestic, holding a heavy iron mace.Seeing that Liu Changzuo was struggling left and right, he sneered slightly, then took a step forward, and shouted:

"Liu Qianju! Let me meet you for a while today!"

"Liang Yidao," Liu Changzuo's forehead was already covered with sweat under the bitter battle. Seeing him appear at this time, he sneered, "I said goodbye to Weizhou that day, but I don't know if the general is safe or not."

In the battle of Weizhou that day, Liang Yidao led [-] soldiers and was defeated by Liu Changzuo's [-] elite soldiers.When the enemy met today, he was extremely jealous. When Liu Changzuo mentioned the shame of his defeat in the army, Liang Yidao's face suddenly turned purple, and his beard was stunned.He snorted, let alone said anything, lightly raised the iron mace in his hand, and turned half a circle.

When he showed his hand, everyone was shocked.The iron mace looked extremely heavy, at least fifty or sixty catties, but it could be easily turned in his hands, like an arm and a finger, it seemed light and weightless.

"I'm going to kill you today and take revenge on Weizhou!"

He shouted, and then rushed forward, an iron mace swung in his hand, coming with the momentum of thunder and thunder.

Seeing the menacing attack, Liu Changzuo didn't dare to neglect, and stepped forward to fight with his gun, but he was at the end of his battle so far, and he only relied on his strong willpower to support him.At this time, under the head-on confrontation, he only heard a "click", and the gun in his hand snapped off.Seeing that the mace was about to reach his chest, a soldier yelled, rushed forward, and pushed Liu Changzuo away violently. He blocked the mace with his own flesh and blood, and immediately pierced through his stomach. Die on the spot.

"Tiger!" Seeing this soldier died for him, Liu Changzuo was both sad and mournful.

However, he didn't have time to react.Because Liang Yidao had already drawn out the bloody mace tip, he sneered.

"Being able to block my master's mace is considered a character."

He stared fiercely, raised the iron mace in his hand high, and without further ado, struck down towards Liu Changzuo.All the soldiers exclaimed: "Qianju!" However, they were already surrounded by a group of Xixia soldiers who rushed up, rushing left and right, unable to escape, unable to come forward to rescue.

Liu Changzuo knew in his heart that today would be a bad day, so he let out a long sigh, closed his eyes and was about to die.At this moment, a clear whistle was heard, and following the whistle, a figure flickered, his body was light and erratic, he jumped up the pass in a blink of an eye, before his figure landed, something flew out of his hand, and smashed straight at the iron mace in Liang Yidao's hand , Immediately afterwards, with a "dang" sound, his iron mace was shocked on the spot and flew out of his hand.

When Liang Yidao let go of the weapon, he felt a huge and thick force, which brought him back a few steps.

"Who is here?" He staggered, stood still, and asked angrily.

"Lieutenant Xuanjie, Gusu Murong Fu." The visitor said calmly.

At this time, Liang Yidao saw clearly that the person who came was only a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed as an officer, his thin armor was stained with blood, and a lot of blood was splashed on his face and neck. But he couldn't hide his handsome face and handsome appearance.

Liang Yidao couldn't help being surprised to see that the person who shot his weapon away just now was so young and frail, not like a general, but like a white-faced scholar.Looking back, I was even more terrified: the one who knocked him out of his hand with the heavy mace just now was just a thin long knife. Mazha knife".His heavy mace is a magical weapon made of black iron, weighing 61 catties, ordinary people can't even lift it up, let alone dance it, let alone break it with a small hemp knife.When the young man made a move just now, it seemed to be an understatement, but it showed extremely profound skills.

At this time Murong Fu had already helped Liu Changzuo, and handed him over to several soldiers who had already broken through the siege due to this interruption.

"Forgive me for the late arrival of the escort. Huzi died for Qian's jurisdiction, and he deserved his death."

He said, knelt down halfway, stared at the dead soldier for a while, stretched out a hand, gently closed his eyes that were still wide open for him, bowed his head in silence for a while.

Immediately, he looked serious, bent down to pick up the long knife that fell on the ground, stood upright with the blade upright, and clasped his fist at Liang Yidao.

"General Liang," he said loudly,

"Murong Fu is not talented. I will ask the general to enlighten me today!"
