Chapter 577 The Battle of Tongguan (Part 2)
Sun Jiushi has grown so big that this is the first time in his life that he has heard such a request from Ah Wu.
Sun Jiushi looked at Ah Wu dumbfounded. He was thinking whether Mr. Gu had sent a madman. Otherwise, how could he make such a crazy request? Thinking again, only a madman could do such a thing to assassinate the enemy general in the midst of an army of ten thousand horses.
Only then can you do it.
So... this guy in front of me is really a lunatic? Unfortunately, he got sick early before he could sneak into the enemy's position?
After being silent for a long time, Sun Jiushi blushed and said: "I...I have never offended you, nor have I angered you. You committed a crime in advance that Mr. Gu cannot cure me. I am unjust!"
Ah Wu became a little impatient, his eyes became colder and colder, and he suddenly took the flintlock gun from Sun Jiushi's hand.
Sun Jiushi and the other five sharpshooting battalion soldiers were startled and subconsciously raised their guns and pointed them at him.
"Don't mess around in front of the two armies!" Sun Jiushi shouted angrily.
Ah Wu completely ignored their reactions. He just lowered his head and stared at the flintlock gun in his hand. Then he looked up curiously at the soldiers of the Marksman Battalion not far ahead who were still firing guns and loading ammunition. After taking a look, Ah Wu
Then he understood, and pointed at the trigger of the flintlock gun and said: "Is it the trigger here?"
Sun Jiushi took a step back and nodded.
Ah Wu also nodded, then pointed the muzzle of the gun at his calf, awkwardly touched the trigger, and pulled it without hesitation.
There was a loud bang, and a bloody hole was shot through the calf. Ah Wu groaned in pain, and a large amount of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead. His face was pale, and the muscles on his cheeks were twitching, but he clenched his teeth.
Be silent.
Sun Jiushi was dumbfounded as he stared at his arrogant moves. When he saw the opportunity, he suddenly took action and snatched back the flintlock gun. He calmly said to the people beside him: "You have all seen it. He did it on his own and it has nothing to do with me. Look back, Mr. Gu."
I'm going to blame you, and you have to bear witness for me."
Several soldiers nearby nodded silently and took a step back with fearful expressions.
Ah Wu endured the pain and stood up, looking around. At this time, the place where they were standing was full of rebel corpses, including those of ordinary sergeants and those of rebel generals.
Ah Wu's calf was dripping with blood. He dragged his injured leg and limped to the body of a rebel general who had died in the battle. He looked at it for a moment. This rebel general was about the rank of a school lieutenant.
His fatal injury was an iron ball that hit his neck, a masterpiece of the marksman battalion.
Ah Wu gritted his teeth and groped for a while on the corpse of the rebel general. He took out a wooden identity token from his arms, looked at it carefully for a while, remembered the name of the rebel general, and put the token away.
In one's own arms.
After doing this, Ah Wu's face became paler due to blood loss, and he said to Sun Jiushi: "I still need a war horse."
Sun Jiushi was still in a trance and nodded blankly: "I'll give it to you right away."
The war horses were brought in by the soldiers. Ah Wu looked at the situation on the battlefield at this time. The sharpshooting battalion was still advancing step by step, and the left and right flanks were also involved in a fierce battle. Ah Wu said to Sun Jiushi: "Have you killed the rebels?"
Commander, is this war over?"
Sun Jiushi said: "If the enemy general dies, the morale of the army will be broken, and the enemy troops will flee separately. The next step is to pursue how far and how many to kill."
Ah Wu hummed and said, "In that case, I will kill him."
After saying this, Ah Wu got on his horse and without saying a word, he jerked the horse's belly. The horse neighed and galloped towards the rear of the Shenshe Camp.
Until Ah Wu left, Sun Jiushi still didn't come back to his senses for a long time. After a long while, he said to several soldiers under his command: "Who are the people Mr. Gu has recruited around him?"
One of the soldiers smiled and said: "They should be capable people."
Sun Jiushi snorted and said: "Do you have the ability to shoot yourself? I really don't have this ability."
"General Sun, a man who is willing to kill himself is probably not an ordinary person. I think he might actually have some ability."
Although Sun Jiushi didn't want to admit it, he still snorted and said: "No matter whether he can succeed in the assassination or not, since Mr. Gu has a military order for us to cooperate with him, we will risk our lives to play with him. Whether he lives or dies depends on his destiny."
Already."
"The Marksman Battalion was ordered to adjust the attack in the direction of the rebel commander's flag and advance slowly. We have a few good marksmen in the front line, ready to support that madman...well, that heroic man."
After saying that, Sun Jiushi glared at several soldiers and said: "You all give me a shout-out. If the distance is right, we will shoot the rebel leader with our own guns. This achievement is so great that there is no reason to let a madman snatch it away."
Let’s go.”
Several soldiers responded to the order one after another.
…………
Ah Wu was galloping toward the rear of the Shenshe Camp. After leaving the battlefield, Ah Wu tore off his clothes, revealing the rebel uniform and armor underneath.
The blood on the calf has solidified a little, but the pain has become clearer. A blood hole was punched through the calf for no reason. This kind of pain is very unbearable.
When observing the situation on the battlefield just now, Ah Wu had his own plan.
It is not impossible to assassinate the enemy general, but it requires taking a bit of risk and paying a price.
A shot in the calf is only part of the price, it is evidence that can win the enemy's trust.
After riding out of the battlefield, Ah Wu went around to the south side of the battlefield. When he was next to Gu Qing, he had already seen the battlefield situation clearly. There were 5,000 Shu troops on the south side attacking the rebel army. In comparison, that
One place is the weakest point of the Anxi Army's offensive, and there is a chance to break through.
Ten miles away from the battlefield, Ah Wu stopped his horse in a secluded place. He lowered his head and looked at his clothes and armor. He made sure that he was completely dressed as a rebel at this moment. There was no doubt about it. Then he tightened the straps at his waist.
Knife, raised his eyes and looked at the dusty and smokey battlefield.
There was a fierce and bloody battle, and Ah Wu was just a poor man. He didn't care about the fate of the country, let alone how many soldiers would die in the battle and how many would survive.
Few people can understand the psychology of dead soldiers. This kind of people have always been indifferent to life and death, regardless of the life and death of others or their own life and death. Sometimes they even secretly wish they could complete an important task for their master as soon as possible and fight for the task as soon as possible.
Death, as long as you die, you will be completely liberated and disappear from the world. You don't have to continue your unfortunate fate, and you don't have to think of memories that were so dark and desperate.
Death, for Ah Wu, is life.
Maybe, this time I can die for my master. It will be fine if I die and there will be no pain forever.
Ah Wu tightened the reins in his hands and before riding the horse, Gu Qing's words echoed in his mind again.
He doesn't like the term "death warrior". He regards everyone around him as a brother. He hopes that the brothers around him can live in peace and safety...
Ah Wu, whose eyes were indifferent and lifeless, suddenly had a different color in his eyes at this moment.
This owner seems to be different.
There are so few people who hold military power but still know how to be kind to others. They are almost never seen. In the eyes of the real powerful, these dead soldiers are just domesticated dogs, even lower than dogs.
Which powerful person would regard a dog as a brother?
Regardless of whether Gu Qing was sincere or fake, Ah Wu felt a little warm towards this person for the first time in his life.
It turns out that this is the feeling of being illuminated by the sun, and it is very comfortable.
I hope that I can do more things for this master in this life.
After calming down, Ah Wu's expression became cold and indifferent again, his cold eyes looked into the distance, he pursed his lips, slowly pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, and kicked the horse's belly violently, causing the horse to suddenly gain strength.
He ran wildly, facing the Shu army on the south side of the battlefield.
An hour later, Ah Wu had arrived at the southern end of the battlefield.
At this moment, the periphery of the battlefield was covered with densely packed Shu troops. They were charging towards the rebel center under the command of the generals. Outside the neat square formations, the generals waved their flags and ordered the Shu army to charge towards the rebel center.
, the rebel central army still had 20,000 soldiers and horses arrayed to meet them. On the one hand, they had to deal with the approaching sharpshooting battalion from the east, and on the other hand, they had to resist the Shu army at the north and south ends interspersed with the central army, which seemed quite hectic.
Behind the formation of the Shu army in the south, Ah Wu, dressed in rebel uniform, suddenly appeared, which really surprised the Shu army. Then hundreds of Shu soldiers surrounded Ah Wu, raising their halberds and stabbing him without saying a word.
Ah Wu raised his sword to block, then rode his horse towards the Shu army's formation.
There was still a gap between the phalanxes, and Ah Wu spotted the gap and charged. During this period, countless Shu troops who had no time to react watched helplessly as Ah Wu rushed past, until the horn horn behind them issued a lengthy warning.
The soldiers of the Shu army turned their weapons and stabbed Ah Wu who was running wildly.
Ah Wu was not hesitant about his attack. While charging into the formation, he raised his horizontal sword and stabbed at the Shu army. In one moment, he actually killed several Shu soldiers. The general of the Shu army was furious and could not order the arrows to be fired because Ah Wu was at that moment.
They also charged between the Shu army's formations, and firing arrows could easily injure one's own people.
No one expected why a rebel general would come into the formation from behind. The Shu Army Committee was really in a hurry. Ah Wu galloped on his horse, killing as he rushed. No fewer than dozens of Shu soldiers died under his sword.
.
There is no good or evil in Ah Wu's heart, no enemies or friends. All his thoughts are focused on completing the mission. In order to complete the mission, he can throw away both good and evil, and kill both friends and foes.
This is the typical thinking of a dead soldier. Sun Jiushi called him a madman, which was theoretically correct.
But precisely because Ah Wu killed friends and foes in the Shu army's formation, it also shocked the rebel camp on the opposite side. They saw a general of their own coming out of the enemy's rear from a distance and killed many.
It seems that the Shu army wants to break out of the Shu army's formation, and its destination is our own Chinese army.
An Shouzhong, who was surrounded by many people, also saw Ah Wu, frowned, and said with some surprise: "Who is this person? Is there such a brave general among my righteous army?"
A general next to him said: "Commander, this person seems to want to stand out from the enemy's position. Come to our center..."
An Shouzhong gave a grunt and said in a deep voice: "Order the formation of soldiers to the south to advance and bring the general back to our formation."
When Ah Wu killed a stick of incense in the Shu army's formation, when he was picked up by the rebels and returned to the camp, he was already covered in wounds. There was an arrow stuck in his back, on his chest, back, and thigh.
They were all wounds made by swords and halberds, and blood was pouring out from the wounds. His face was horribly pale, and it looked like he was hanging on with only one breath left.
The rebels carried Ah Wu to An Shouzhong. An Shouzhong dismounted and looked at Ah Wu. Then he ordered the army doctor to bandage Ah Wu's wounds and asked in confusion: "Who do you honor? Where do you come from?"
Ah Wu's face was pale and he was almost in a semi-conscious state. He used his personal bravery to force his way into the army's formation. It was really good luck for Ah Wu to survive.
Seeing that Ah Wu had no strength to answer, An Shouzhong did not rush him. At this moment, he did not have much doubt about Ah Wu's identity. After all, he had never seen such a desperate person in his life. He not only killed many enemy soldiers, but also
He himself was half-dead. It would be incredible if he was an enemy spy.
An Shouzhong ordered the doctor to get him a bowl of ginseng soup and drink it. An Shouzhong looked at the semi-conscious Ah Wu, stroking his beard and sighed: "This man should be from Chang'an. Such a brave tiger general should be under my command, An."
