Chapter 303 Attack on Chang'an Ridge

Although it is midsummer in June, the valley is still shady and cool, with gusts of mountain wind whizzing past, and shrubs and weeds half the height of a person swinging back and forth with the wind.

A group of knights in the Chang'an Ridge Road just passed by, they did not gallop, but their speed was not slow, more than twenty riders raised a cloud of smoke, and suddenly they galloped all the way to the north.

Among the bushes and weeds on the steep wall on the east side of the valley road, there were faint figures swaying, looming among the weeds swaying in the wind, and a voice came: "Brother Xue, don't you say that Zhang Cheng has twenty riders around him?" follow?"

"Brother Youqing, why are you still so impatient? It doesn't matter how many people he has. This matter must be done today. We have not regressed. If Zhang Cheng is not dead, our heads will fall to the ground." He gritted his teeth and said fiercely. .

It was Xue Jing, the general manager of Dushikou Castle, and Wu Youqing, the general manager of Chi Castle, and there were dense crowds of people beside them, all of them were wearing tight clothes and bunts, with gray net scarves wrapped around their heads, and their hands or Holding a bow and crossbow, or carrying a gun.

Wu Youqing looked nervously at the valley road below the mountain, with beads of sweat all over his forehead, he asked in a low voice: "Brother Xue, keep an eye on it, we can't make Zhang Cheng escape."

Xue Jing sneered sternly and said: "Hmph, such a dangerous place, and it's a surprise, it's possible that Zhang Cheng can grow wings."

He Mao got up and scanned the left and right, and shouted in a low voice: "Everyone, be more energetic, the Lord is coming soon. After today's work is completed, everyone will be rewarded with ten taels of silver."

"Come on..."

I don't know who yelled softly, Xue Jing looked intently, and saw more than twenty knights galloping slowly in the valley road, he looked around, and said viciously to Wu Youqing beside him: "People are not cruel. , I can’t stand firmly, today you and I will desperately want to get rid of Zhang Cheng.”

He paused, then cheered Wu Youqing again: "Then Bai will be Zhang Cheng right away, we will shoot with bows, arrows and guns, we must make that guy go to see Yan Luo, return to his life, let's just wait for promotion and get rich."

Then he yelled softly: "Listen to Lao Tzu, no one is allowed to fire the gun first, and everyone obeys Lao Tzu's order to shoot in volley, and anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded!"

…………

Zhang Cheng rode his horse and walked slowly in the valley road, and said to Wei Zhice beside him, "This place is dangerous, but there is a strong army stationed here, how can the Tartars survive?"

Wei Zhice looked around on his horse, and said, "The cliffs on both sides of Chang'an Ridge are steep, only these places are not enough, it seems that they can be climbed up, but they are the best places to set up danger..."

When he said this, he suddenly stopped, with a look of surprise on his face. Zhang Cheng also realized that something was wrong. As soon as he looked up, he saw a cold light flashing in the air.

Zhang Cheng instinctively shrank his neck, and his body also fell to the right side of the horse, while shouting loudly: "Enemy attack, the mountain on the right, enemy attack..."

At this moment, the sound of "bang bang..." also exploded suddenly, and on the mountain to the right of Zhang Cheng and his cavalry, a puff of smoke rose, and a little cold light appeared in the smoke.

People in the valley road neighed their horses, and all the knights rolled off their horses one after another. Wei Zhice also jumped to the side, still not forgetting to shout: "Protect the general..."

The guards accompanying Zhang Cheng were all born in the night, and all of them were elites of hundreds of battles, but the enemy's attack came too suddenly, and they were suddenly attacked without any precautions, and they were indeed a little flustered for a while.

The moment Zhang Cheng fell off the horse, dozens of arrows flew towards him. The pure white horse he was riding just now was covered with arrows, and the tail of the arrow was trembling. The white dragon horse rushed out. After a few steps, he fell to the ground.

Many bullets "cracked" around Zhang Cheng's body, stirring up a burst of dust, covering Zhang Cheng completely.

Suddenly a figure rushed over, bumped into Zhang Cheng, hugged him and rolled down the steep wall on the right side of the valley road, "Ahem..." Zhang Cheng's body hit the mountain wall, and he kept coughing.

"General, you have been shot by an arrow..."

It turned out that Wei Zhice flew towards Zhang Cheng the moment he turned over and fell off the horse. He rolled down the mountain wall with Zhang Cheng in his arms, only to find that there were three arrows stuck in Zhang Cheng's body.

He didn't have time to react, so he hurriedly used his body to block Zhang Cheng, protecting him between himself and the mountain wall. Looking into the valley road, there was already a cloud of dust, and the voices of people and horses were mixed together.

"On the right side, on the mountain, the enemy attacked, protecting the general..."

Wei Zhice howled loudly at the top of his lungs, as cold stars were still falling rapidly on the mountain, and the wailing of war horses continued one after another. At this moment, there was a rush of hoofbeats from the south of the valley road.

They galloped to a place less than thirty steps away from Wei Zhice, when they heard a shout: "Get off your horse, be careful on the mountains, search for the general, hurry... hurry..."

Wei Zhice heard that it was Zhang Guodong who had arrived, and hurriedly shouted, "Guodong, here...here...the mountain wall on the right..."

Zhang Guodong found Wei Zhice following the sound in the flying dust. He saw Zhang Cheng lying on the ground behind Wei Zhice's protection, his eyes were red and he howled and asked, "What's up, general, what's up, general..."

"Cough cough cough... I... I'm fine... ah... nothing serious..."

It was only at this time that Zhang Cheng barely climbed up with the support of the mountain wall, and just stood up, but fell to the ground again. Zhang Guodong ran forward to take a closer look, and saw that Zhang Cheng was shot in the left abdomen, right thigh, and right shoulder by arrows. , blood was oozing out along the arrow wound.

"Grass fucking..."

Zhang Guodong ran out after swearing angrily, and then shouted loudly: "Climb up the mountain, kill them all...to avenge the general..."

These knights were all veterans who joined Zhang Cheng in King Weiqin's army. Hearing Zhang Guodong shouting so loudly, they all thought that Zhang Cheng had already been killed. Everyone was extremely angry and distraught.

They screamed "Revenge for the general..." and climbed up the mountain wall on the right side of the valley road. Zhang Guodong grabbed a knight who was about to climb the mountain wall in the valley road, and said to him in a low voice:

"Third idiot, find a horse, go ahead and look for Chen Shao, tell him to chase ahead, stop the enemy, and catch a few alive. Go..."

…………

Chen Zhongben was leading twenty cavalry ahead to open the way, when he suddenly heard bursts of gunfire from behind him, such explosions echoed continuously in the valley.

Realizing that it was not good, he yelled and directed the knights to turn their horses around, then rushed back, and ran into Peng Sanwang, the team officer under Zhang Guodong's command, head-on.

He yelled at Chen Zhong from a distance: "Chen Shao, chase forward, intercept the enemy and thieves, and catch a few alive..."

Chen Zhong reined in his horse and stopped, and asked eagerly, "What's going on in the future, how is the general?"

"General... The general was killed... Zhang Tou told me to find you, hunt down the enemy and thieves, and catch a few alive..."

Team officer Peng Sanwang said with a sad expression, sobbing.

"Ah...ah..."

"Follow me to kill the thieves...kill all the thieves..." Chen Zhong roared, his face was full of tears, and his heart was extremely sad.
