Chapter 49 Kneeling? Standing?
In front of Shanhaiguan, the setting sun is as bloody.
The soldiers of the Dashun Army had been attacking for a whole day like a tide! A thick layer of corpses were piled up at the foot of the city, with almost no place to go.
The city walls were mottled, and there were traces of cannon bombardment everywhere. The bricks and stones were shattered, revealing one gap after another. Each gap was constantly pouring up by the Dashun Army, and blood dyed every brick red.
His voice was hoarse, and his waist was curled. As soon as a Dashunjun climbed up, he was stabbed head-on, and blood flowed from his head. The moment he fell, he suddenly pulled Guan Ningjun's trouser legs, and the two fell under the city wall together, turning into meat pie!
Guan Ningjun has never encountered such a difficult opponent. They are not as equipped as themselves and trained as well. However, they dare to kill and fight, and they do not care about their lives at all. Facing such opponents, they are scared and retreat.
The defense line of Shanhaiguan is shaking, and it seems that the next moment, the Dashun army will be able to rush in...
The horse's hooves were walking on the bluestone road, and the rapid sound was the most intense horn!
"Go to the city, the general has an order, and the cavalry go to the city!"
After the knight shouted, he pulled his horse's head and continued to run. When Gu Zhenhua heard this order, he frowned. It was only half a day before the war began. Wu Sangui actually wanted to send the last mobile power, which shows how fierce the battle was.
"Brothers, since the commander has the order, we will go to the city with our master and fight against the thieves!"
"Okay, follow the lord to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!" The soldiers were particularly enthusiastic.
In the past ten days, Gu Zhenhua did nothing else, but visited every military camp, chatted with soldiers, taught them common sense of first aid, compared with each other's martial arts archery, ate and live together, and quickly gained recognition from soldiers.
More than two thousand people followed Gu Zhenhua closely and rushed towards the city wall of Shanhaiguan.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The cannons outside the city kept roaring, and the world's number one pass was in turmoil.
"kill!"
A general of the Dashun Army had already climbed the city wall along the ladder. He held a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, like a tiger, and cut down two Guanning troops one after another.
Gu Zhenhua instantly pulled out his waist knife and was about to rush forward, but Guo Yunlong, who was beside him, grabbed him.
"Sir, let's leave the charge to someone else. If you are injured, you can't explain to the general."
"Guo Guerrilla, can you still believe in my skills? It's a joke that just a few thieves can hurt me!"
"That won't happen either!"
Guo Yunlong said firmly. More than a dozen soldiers behind him had already pressed the handle of the knife, forming a half-moon-shaped encirclement, surrounding Gu Zhenhua in the middle.
Gu Zhenhua narrowed his eyes and looked at these people, and suddenly smiled heartily: "Guo Guerrilla, you are probably not for the safety of yourselves?"
Guo Yunlong lowered his head slightly: "Sir Gu, I admire your talent and demeanor, and I am willing to follow you to kill the enemy. It's just that I can't go against my life. Please don't make things difficult for us!"
"Yes, but since you are on the battlefield, you can't be a spectator!" As he said that, Gu Zhenhua held the bow in his hand, took out three heavy arrows from the quiver, twisted them in his hand, squinted his eyes, and stared at Dashun Jun who had already rushed to the city wall.
Gu Zhenhua suddenly pulled the bow and buckled the three arrows in his hand on the string. In an instant, the three arrows came out of their hands, forming a fret shape, and shot towards the smooth general.
"not good!"
This general and the officer had experienced a great enemy for a long time and felt something was wrong. He hurriedly covered his face with a shield. However, Gu Zhenhua's three arrows were so powerful that the shield could not stop them at all.
Two of the arrows penetrated the cowhide and smashed the wood inside. Another arrow passed by the side of the shield and shot into the throat. The arrow passed through the throat and exposed from behind. The general's body fell to the ground!
The soldiers who were fighting hard around saw the most difficult guy fell down. They were stunned at first, and then cheered. Gu Zhenhua did not stop at all and continued to shoot arrows with his bow. These days, Gu Zhenhua's ability has also improved a lot, especially his physical injuries have healed and his condition has been unprecedented.
A hundred steps away, one arrow was shot and the Dashun Army, who had been killed on the city, were named one by one and kept falling down. Especially Gu Zhenhua's bow and arrow were very powerful. As long as he was shot, he would die. The city wall was filled with corpses.
The Guanning Army was also unprecedentedly inspired, with high morale. Some soldiers couldn't help but shout: "Long live the loyal and brave man!"
"Long live the loyal and brave man!"
"Long live the loyal and brave man!"
In an instant, a loud shout sounded from the city wall. The soldiers of the Guanning Army mustered up the courage to drive all the remaining Dashun Army down.
After the victory, the soldiers cheered loudly, but turned around and found that there was no sign of Gu Zhenhua's original standing position. The soldiers looked at each other, all confused.
...
In a courtyard near the city gate, Gu Zhenhua sat steadily in the middle, surrounded by Guo Yunlong's soldiers.
At this moment, someone suddenly rushed over and handed a command written by Wu Sangui to Guo Yunlong. When Guo Yunlong took it, his eyes almost fell to the ground. He couldn't believe it. He stood on the spot like a wooden sculpture.
"Guo Guerrilla, what order did Marshal Wu give you to you, making you so embarrassed?"
"Great, the general wants to ask Gu Jue Gu to come and talk." Guo Yunlong's eyes moved a little while speaking, and he did not dare to look directly into Gu Zhenhua's eyes.
Gu Zhenhua smiled slightly: "Guo Guerrilla, I'm afraid he wants to bring Gu's head over?"
"Sir Gu, this order must be wrong. I'll go find the Grand Marshal now!"
Guo Yunlong immediately turned around and was about to walk outside. Although he didn't spend much time with Gu Zhenhua, he admired Gu Zhenhua from the bottom of his heart. Wu Sangui actually wanted to kill such a pillar talent, and he really couldn't accept it.
Before he could leave, Yue Polu suddenly rushed in with two people, with smoke all over his body and two arrows inserted on his armor.
As soon as he came in, he said loudly: "The thief has killed the city again, why don't you let Mr. Gu supervise the battle?"
Guo Yunlong shook his head in pain: "The Grand Marshal is going to kill Mr. Gu!"
"What, you're not kidding, Mr. Gu is both wise and brave. Is the coach confused and wants to kill him? Are you afraid that the thieves will not be able to kill him?"
"I don't know either." Guo Yunlong said firmly: "I'm going to find the Grand Marshal now, so I can't be so bored!"
It was not until this time that Gu Zhenhua slowly stood up and smiled slightly: "Guo Guerrilla, Po Lu, don't worry, I know clearly in my heart."
"Sir, please tell me!" Yue Polu asked anxiously.
Gu Zhenhua sneered slightly: "Military Wu and Li Zicheng fight. He has no reason and doesn't need me. Even if my master commits a crime, he should have a clear punishment. Why should I kill me inexplicably?"
Gu Zhenhua smiled to himself and said, "I heard that more than ten days ago, Marshal Wu sent someone to contact the Qing Dynasty."
Yue Polu nodded: "That's right, the general has told us that this is using troops to avenge the bandits and jointly eliminate the bandits. I have a deep bloody feud with the Qing Tartars, but the bandits are powerful and there is no way."
"Hahaha, hahaha!" Gu Zhenhua laughed to the sky: "Borrowing troops to help suppress the enemy is just a bully. Will the Qing Dynasty be so stupid that he shed blood for the Ming Dynasty? When Wu Sangui reached this point, he could only surrender to the Qing Dynasty and was ready to use his head as a letter of fame. It was just a pity that the great athletes of the Guanning Army would have to be a slave to the Qing Dynasty with their pig tails from then on!"
"No!" Yue Polu sat on the ground with a thunder attack. He never dreamed that one day he would surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Wouldn't he recognize the thief as his father? How could he bear it?
Guo Yunlong also clenched his fists, his eyes were filled with blood, and he said breathlessly: "I don't believe it, this is just Mr. Gu's speculation. The Grand Marshal cannot surrender to the Qing Dynasty!"
"Wu Sangui's uncle is Zu Dashou, what's impossible? Brother Guo, you can't believe me, right?"
With the sound, a war horse came in from outside. On the horse was sitting a knight in his early thirties. He was tall and had a sculpture-like facial features, rough and heroic, especially his eyes, full of spirit. But when he was talking, he seemed to be inadequate.
"Brother Li!"
Guo Yunlong stood up suddenly and asked in surprise: "You, your injury is healed?"
Li Xu smiled slightly: "Thanks to my brother who introduced Mr. Gu, otherwise my life would be completely over."
While speaking, Li Xu's war horse came to Gu Zhenhua and jumped off the war horse. Li Xu knelt on one leg and said loudly: "Sir Gu, I will remember my heart for saving my life. Now that Wu Sangui has surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Li will never bow his knees to surrender to the enemy! He swears to follow Gu Jue to the death, and ask Mr. Gu to order."
"Hahaha, Brother Li, there are two ways of living. One is to straighten your chest. No matter how rich or poor you are, you are a man who stands tall and upright! One is to be humble and willing to be a slave, maybe eat well, live well, have a high official and have a wife and a son. But no matter when, such things are dogs and an unforgivable scum!"
Gu Zhenhua stared at everyone present, and his sharp eyes swept across every face.
"How do you want to live, do you kneel or stand?"
