The reinforcements coming from a distance made everyone who was excited and survived feel cold. From the beginning, they never cared about whether the enemy had reinforcements. They always thought that their goal was to capture this place. Now that they have conquered it, they are just getting ready.
To celebrate, the appearance of reinforcements immediately poured cold water on them.
"What should we do, Captain?"
Everyone looked at the corps leader with a solemn expression. This was their backbone and the person they trusted the most.
Wu Elder Zhu looked at these brothers who had lived with him for so long. In order to complete the task, he could not speak to them and explain everything.
Chen Mo looked at the silent team leader without saying a word. He knew that no one in their group would get out alive. Even if they now knew that they were bait, they wanted to escape from here immediately. On this vast flat bottom, their legs
He couldn't outrun the cavalry who came to support him, let alone...
"Why, why are there so many people?" Ergouziren was dumbfounded. Looking at the enemy troops coming for support, he did not rush over directly, but directly cut off their retreat.
"It seems that I will die just after I debut." Sanbengzi said sternly. He also saw that their situation at this moment was very bad.
"Either fight to the death here, or flee north." Facing so many enemies, Chen Mo's expression still didn't change much. This was a choice for them, not for himself.
"You want to flee north? That's the hinterland of the Shang Kingdom. We will die faster." Santengzi said.
"There is still a chance of escaping the enemy's pursuit and becoming an ordinary citizen of the Shang Kingdom." Chen Mo explained the reason for fleeing north.
"Being a Shang countryman? Continue to be homeless? I don't want to live that kind of life." Santengzi gritted his teeth and said. "I joined the army just to change this kind of life. I don't want to go back to that kind of life. It's better to fight."
If you die here, maybe you can leave a good reputation."
"I don't want to go to Shang State either, but I don't want to die either." Ergouzi said dejectedly.
"In this case, why don't you hold your sword tightly?"
.......
The enemy's reinforcements are getting closer and closer. First, the people from Huqiu Fort stared at the enemies in the camp from outside, and now they are the enemies from outside, looking at them in the camp with eager eyes. The situation has changed.
There are only sixty or seventy people in Huqiu Fort plus the elite cavalry, while the enemy's team has nearly a hundred people, but as time goes by, there will be more and more of them.
"Mount!"
A leader of Jingqi gave a sharp roar, and his men mounted their horses one after another, without any fear in their eyes, even though thousands of people were coming.
"Get your crossbows." The captain also shouted, telling the remaining people to immediately collect their crossbows and prepare to face the enemy.
They had no choice but to obey the corps commander's order, otherwise they didn't know what to do. Everyone hurriedly moved out all the usable crossbows and arrows among the piles of corpses and dilapidated tents, regardless of whether they knew how to use them.
Those who didn't know how to use them all stood on the steps of the wall with a hand in hand, looking at the slowly approaching reinforcements with despair or a look of death.
"What should I do?" Ergouzi would mutter a few words. Only in this way could he relieve the tension in his heart.
"You're nagging, I'll cut you down if you're standing there." Santengzi said impatiently at the side. Even though he knew that he was in deep despair, he didn't feel hopeless. He felt like he was the only one who would give up on me.
On the other side, the leader of the Jingqi came to Wu Lao Zhu and said to him: "Lao Zhu, let's go first. You are not suitable for us."
The captain nodded. Such a small place as the camp cannot replace the maximum strength of this cavalry. Only the flat ground outside is their battlefield. In other words, they will be the first to confront the enemy head-on.
"Hey, hey, why did you leave? Are there any of you who would abandon your brothers and sisters like you?!" Some people who didn't understand why said angrily.
"Shut up, everyone," the corps commander shouted.
The thirty cavalrymen ignored the gazes of the others and left the camp directly from the side, then galloped on the flat ground outside.
The enemy troops outside discovered the cavalry breaking out of the encirclement, and detached their own cavalry to catch up, allowing the remaining infantry to continue marching toward the camp.
....
"Load the bow!" the corps commander gave the order, and everyone cocked their arrows and looked nervously at the enemy approaching step by step.
Half a mile.
The roar from the other side could be heard clearly.
A hundred paces away.
The ferocious faces of those people emerged one by one.
Fifty steps.
The corps commander gave the order: "Fire the arrow!"
About thirty arrows flew out, thinking twice in the air, and then plunged into the crowd. Some of them pierced the body, some of them hit the arm, and some of them missed each other.
"Hit!" Dengzi shouted excitedly, and then immediately installed the second arrow feather on his big bow.
Ergouzi didn't care at all whether he hit the enemy or not. He only knew that after shooting one, he would immediately reload the second one. He didn't want to hit the enemy, he just wanted to scare the enemy. It would be better if he could scare him away.
Except that the first arrow rain was a little denser, the arrows behind were sparse. There was no way. Not only were there few people, but not everyone knew how to bend their bows and shoot arrows. After two or three rounds, the enemy had already passed through the horse-rejecting pile, with only ten steps to go.
remote.
After shooting the last arrow feather, everyone dropped their crossbows, drew their weapons, and fought hand-to-hand with the enemies who were trying to climb over the wall, but in the end they couldn't outnumber the opponents. Soon, the wall was occupied by the enemy.
, the people from Huqiu Fort retreated step by step.
The gate of the camp was opened, and more enemies broke in. A man who looked like an officer walked in swaggeringly, carrying his own sword, and shouted arrogantly at the remaining twenty people who were retreating step by step:
"Monkeys from the Chu Kingdom, if you dare to invade our Shang Kingdom, today is your day of death."
"Boys, kill them all." With a wave of his sword, everyone swarmed forward.
At this time, billowing smoke rose in the camp. It was not known whether someone lit it deliberately or whether the fire was splashed during the fight. In short, the already chaotic camp became even more chaotic.
"Did you do this?" The corps commander, whose face was covered in blood, approached Chen Mo who had just repelled a small wave of enemies.
"Why are you always staring at me?" Chen Mo sneered in his heart. Ever since the battle started, the corps commander had always glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, guarding him just like his enemies.
"There can't be a deserter in our Tiger Hill Fort, not even you." The corps commander said viciously. Tiger Hill Fort is his roots, and the reason why he has been staying in this fortress is because he doesn't want to leave the place he built with his own hands.
In the base area, even though many people left later, he still stayed here, just like the master of a family.
"Want to confront me?" Chen Mo said calmly as he chopped off an enemy's head again.
"You are no match for me." Chen Mo was not looking down on him, he was stating a fact. He had observed this corps commander, either he was hiding it, or it was what he saw. He didn't think that in a border area
There is an expert in Fengsui.
The corps commander cut off one man's arm with all his strength and kicked the man away: "Then I will drag you to death."
Chen Mo really doesn't understand what is going on in the head of such a single-minded person. Is his head just for that illusory glory? Or are there other reasons?
"I think you should save some energy to kill a few more people and hold them off for a little longer. As for me, you don't have to worry about me. I'll still be here before you close your eyes."
After saying that, Chen Mo didn't want to quarrel with this stubborn person, so he went to help San Bengzi and Er Gouzi out of the siege.
Under the setting sun, the fire in the camp became more intense. The team leader watched his men fall one after another under the firelight, until they died. They didn't understand why they were fighting this battle.
The corps commander was also seriously injured and was surrounded by a group of people. The Shuodao man looked at the brave corps commander ferociously and said, "It's over. You should be the last one left."
But as soon as this man finished speaking, he was slapped in the face by his younger brother: "Centurion, there are three more over there."
"Fuck you." The centurion was very unhappy. As soon as he said his bold words, he was slapped in the face by this ignorant boy and kicked him.
"Ah~"
Elder Zhu, the commander of Tiger Hill Fort, took advantage of the moment when this man was distracted, mentioned that he had broken off a section of his sword and rushed forward, wanting to die with him.
With a "hoo" sound, the Shuodao assassin in the hand of the centurion from the Shang Kingdom went up and pierced his body directly, leaving only the resentful and unwilling look in the man's eyes: "At the end of the powerful crossbow, hum."
He kicked the dead body away and shouted to the boy next to him: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you clear the battlefield quickly? I'll chop up those three little mice too."
On Chen Mo's side, after he separated from the corps commander, he intentionally or unintentionally led San Bengzi and Er Gouzi back step by step. There were too many people on the opposite side, and he didn't know if they had any reinforcements. If so,
There are reinforcements, no matter how powerful he is and kills everyone here, he will still be surrounded by the next wave of reinforcements and die in the end.
Chen Mo is not one of those masters with strong Qi. Even those in the second and third realms will die of exhaustion if they are besieged like this.
San Bengzi also suffered a lot of injuries and his strength was almost exhausted. Er Gouzi was even worse and injured more seriously. If it hadn't been for the heart-protecting iron plate Chen Mo gave him that saved his life, he would have died a long time ago.
The two of them have survived until now under the cover of Chen Mo.
"We have to go." Chen Mo said.
"What?! Let's go? Where can we go? What will happen to the other brothers?" Sanbengzi asked several questions in succession.
"They are all dead, and only a few of us are left. This is a battle destined to fail."
For San Bengzi, Er Gouzi and those who don't know the truth, this battle is a failure, but for the cavalry and the corps leader who has the righteousness in his heart, this may be a good thing.
The battle was successful because Chen Mo didn't know whether their ultimate goal had been accomplished.
