Chapter 344: Soldiers' Devious Way (2)
Linghu Chao began to regret it, and after only an hour of making the decision, he began to regret it. Seeing the enemy entering the city in large numbers, he could not resist it. The west city could not be saved. Linghu Chao ran along the city tower towards the Haimen until he arrived at the Haimen. He stopped. He looked up and saw the defenders in the east city opposite.
"Put down the suspension bridge!"
Linghu Chao finally used his last move. Xicheng and Dongcheng received signals at the same time to start releasing suspension bridges at both ends. It has been said before that the Transcendence City is divided into two. If the two cities want to be integrated into one, they need to build a suspension bridge that can pass through on the wide river channel behind Haimen. The suspension bridge is divided into two parts like Duzhou City. Xicheng and Dongcheng have half of them respectively. When releasing the suspension bridge, two cities must start at the same time, so as to ensure that the suspension bridges on both sides can be released into a complete suspension bridge.
Linghu Chao stood at the head of the city on the east and looked at the turbulent river water below the city. At the entrance and exit of the sea, the river water poured into the sea, and it was always like thousands of horses galloping. It is precisely because of the existence of the Haimen that this majestic momentum was artificially controlled. However, in many cases, the power of nature cannot be reversed by human power. Even with the existence of the Haimen, this section of the river channel within the Haimen is still unruly. Even because of the construction of the Haimen, the river channel has been diverted and undercurrents have occurred.
In this case, the suspension bridge is crucial. Once the suspension bridges on both sides are combined into one, they can play a role in connecting the two cities. Linghu Chao did not allow the release of the suspension bridge at the beginning to prevent the enemy from entering the East City through the suspension bridge. At least he could not protect the Xicheng and still occupy the East City to confront the enemy. Unfortunately, Linghu Chao himself did not expect that the battle in Xicheng would end so quickly, and before he could fully mobilize the army, there was a clear decline.
The army of 30,000 people is not a small number, but unfortunately, there is no wise commander. No matter how many people there are, they are just a mob. Instead, they are chased and beaten by the Jingyi army of only 10,000 people.
At this time, Linghu Chao would save his life first. When the chains of the suspension bridge were pulled and the suspension bridge was slowly released in front of him, Linghu Chao was nervous and excited. He was nervous because he was worried that the enemy would catch up, and because at least he could survive.
The suspension bridge was also built by craftsmen with a beam. After the bridge decks on both sides were laid down at the same time, the bridge connections could not be seen at all, except for a narrow gap to be seen at the location of the port connection. The base of the suspension bridge was pulled by a chain with a waist of a total of adult man to maintain balance. In order to increase the stability of the bridge deck, the craftsmen also wrapped iron chains with adult arms on the bridge and connected with the chains.
The soldiers who were holding the guards fought desperately to chase each other. Lu Xiang and Duan Lang at the forefront could already see Linghu.
Chao's back was over, and they also witnessed the moment the suspension bridge was released. The suspension bridge's bridge deck was really wide, at least in Duan Lang's opinion, it was similar to the "Tongtian Avenue" sung in the song. The bridge deck was so wide that it could accommodate ten soldiers and soldiers at the same time.
If Duan Lang hadn't really wanted to enjoy the magnificent artificial scenery during the battle, and even wanted to go up the bridge deck and walk back and forth. Linghu Chao stepped onto the bridge deck, and he began to run towards the east city on the opposite side. Behind him were the few soldiers. As the retreating soldiers, they could only seek a life at present. At least on the east city on the opposite side, they were their own troops. Once they arrived on the other side, they could save their lives.
At this moment, the Han Dao Guard caught up with them. They ran very hard. Except for Zhang Hanshan, almost all the rest began to pant. After all, the soldiers of the Han Dao Guard had not stopped for even a moment within a few hours. Xuan Shaoning tried his best to keep up with Zhang Hanshan's footsteps, and Xuan Shaoning had even greater questions about this commander.
"Shaoning!"
Zhang Hanshan turned his head and shouted at Xuan Shaoning: "We must catch up with Linghu Chao, we must go to the suspension bridge!"
Before Xuan Shaoning nodded, Zhang Hanshan's footsteps swung even more rapidly, and he suddenly distanced himself from Xuan Shaoning. Xuan Shaoning could finally sigh, "Who is Zhang Hanshan?"
Lu Xiang took the lead to catch up with the tail of Tang Canjun, and started fighting with a long spear. Duan Lang assisted for a long time and then jumped to the base of the suspension bridge with his wings on his armor, and became the first person in the Jingyi army to step onto the suspension bridge.
Seeing Linghu Chao right in front of him, Duan Lang was ambitious to capture him alive. Duan Lang was on the edge of the suspension bridge, and his own comfort was temporarily unavailable. All this was in the eyes of Xuan Shaoning who felt behind him.
No, it's too dangerous! Xuan Shaoning had already realized the danger of Duan Lang's situation, so he had to take off the armor of a guard who had already died in battle and put it on his body. After saying thanks to the dead, he also learned to use the pair of wings to achieve a longer distance gliding. Unfortunately, Xuan Shaoning had not undergone the special training of guards after all, and he failed to grasp the time to spread his wings when he jumped in the air, resulting in failure to land at the expected location.
If this hadn't caught up with Linghu Chao, it would have been better, but Xuan Shaoning opened his wings too early this time, so he flew farther away. This distance was a fatal distance. Duan Lang just kicked a Tang soldier off the suspension bridge and looked up when he saw Xuan Shaoning flying over his head and landed directly on the suspension bridge.
When it landed, Xuan Shaoning also failed to grasp the strength. He lay directly on a Tang Jun, crushing the man to the ground. The pair of wings failed to retract and hit him in time.
The bridge deck was completely scrapped.
Before Xuan Shaoning got up, the Tang soldiers behind him had already lit their butcher knife, so he could only roll forward and avoid it, and then pulled out Junwu to fight. These Tang soldiers originally planned to escape to the other side, but they never thought that such an enemy would fall from the sky to block their retreat. How could they give up? They had to go straight!
The soldiers who were originally following Linghu Chao were jealous of killing. They had been chased by these Liang people before, but now many people can still face one. So a group of Tang soldiers began to attack Xuan Shaoning, and their fists could not match four hands, let alone dozens of hands? Xuan Shaoning, let alone killing the enemy, was already very rare to be able to save his life. He could only fight and retreat. To be precise, he could not even be able to fight, so he could only keep retreating.
The scene that happened on the suspension bridge was almost imprinted in everyone's eyes. The defeated soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were eager to escape through the suspension bridge were furious and wanted to deal with Xuan Shaoning as soon as possible. Jing Yi army, who was blocked at the entrance of the suspension bridge, wanted to go forward to help, but they had no choice but to fight with the Tang Dynasty army, and they could not cross the human wall at all. The Tang army on the top of the Dongcheng city wanted to help, but they could not use the feather arrow with the highest safety factor, so they could only send people to reinforce through the suspension bridge.
"This kid is used to being a hero and doesn't even care about his own life!" Zhang Hanshan had already seen the Tang army coming out of the East City Suspension Bridge. Once they arrived in the middle of the Suspension Bridge, Xuan Shaoning would not even have a chance to retreat. At that time, he could only be left with two roads: being killed on the Suspension Bridge or actively choosing to jump off the bridge.
Zhang Hanshan pulled a guard guard and ordered rudely: "Take off your armor to me!" Lu Xiang saw Zhang Hanshan's actions and wanted to go forward to dissuade him. As a result, Zhang Hanshan happily changed into his armor and pulled Lu Xiang and said: "You are here! I'm afraid I can't support you alone, so it would be much better if you are here! At least we two can still be with us on the road to the underworld!"
After saying that, he pulled Lu Xiang, regardless of whether he was willing or not, and chose a high point to jump down together. Ji Wenhan, who saw this scene, shouted: "Commander, be careful!"
Hearing Ji Wenhan's shout, Duan Lang, who was already on the edge of the suspension bridge, looked up again to look at the sky. Good guys were two of them this time. Zhang Hanshan and Lu Xiang slid onto the suspension bridge with their wings.
Xuan Shaoning had retreated to the middle of the suspension bridge. He had heard the sound of running behind him. Needless to say, reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty must have arrived. He thought he would sacrifice gloriously in this battle, but he saw two people landing from the air.
