Under the siege of several wind generals, Xu Hua was already stretched thin and unable to cope. Now that Qi Heng was charging at him again, he was even more unable to resist.
After fighting for more than ten rounds, Xu Hua's shoulders, arms, ribs, and thighs were all slashed with blood. Most of his spiritual armor was dyed red.
Seeing that his situation was critical, several Mo generals hurried over and tried their best to hold off Qi Heng and other generals before replacing Xu Hua.
The charge of 100,000 Mo cavalry, with the cooperation of the Feng Kingdom infantry and cavalry, was neutralized. Not only failed to repel the Feng army, but they were crushed by the opponent.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for his generals to block Qi Heng and others, Xu Hua raised his eyes to observe the situation on the battlefield. He saw that his cavalry and the enemy had formed a fighting situation and fell into complete passivity. He immediately ordered the entire army to retreat and pull back.
Increase the distance between you and the enemy.
The Mo cavalry couldn't defeat the large Feng army, but they had no problem running away. As soon as they heard the order to retreat, the entire army's rear team changed into the front team, and like a whirlwind, they withdrew for more than a mile and retreated directly to the capital.
In front of the moat.
Seeing that the distance between the enemy and ourselves had been far enough, Xu Hua ordered to stop the retreat and sent people to count his own battle losses. After a fierce battle, less than 50,000 Mo cavalry were left, but in the blink of an eye,
More than half of the effort was lost.
Xu Hua broke out in cold sweat as he heard the injuries reported by each regiment.
It’s no wonder that since the beginning of Feng Mo’s war, Feng’s army has been in full swing, but its own side has been defeated again and again. Feng’s army’s combat power is indeed frighteningly high. It seems that today’s battle out of the city will be a rare success.
Thinking of this, he tensed up and shouted loudly to everyone on the left and right: "Today, if I can't win, I swear to die with the wind thief. There are brothers who are afraid of death. You can turn around and go back to the city now. I don't blame you. If you return,
If there are brothers who are not afraid of death, then follow me and charge into the enemy formation one more time!"
"General Xu, kill!" The battle has been going on so far. So many comrades have died on the battlefield. Cavalry Mo's eyes have already turned red. At this moment, people completely abandon their personal life and death and only think about fighting for their fallen brothers.
They take revenge.
None of the tens of thousands of Mo cavalry flinched, and the people on horseback shouted in unison.
Xu Hua turned around and looked around at the cavalrymen behind him. His heart was surging and his blood was surging. He looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "It is my fortune, Xu Hua, to fight side by side with so many brothers who live and die together. Even if I die on the battlefield, what's the point?"
Afraid? Haha——"
As he spoke, he moved his eyes to look at Shao Fang in the city gate tower. At the same time, he raised his hands and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, please help me beat the drum again!"
Shao Fang's brows knitted into knots. He had only less than 50,000 cavalry left on his side, and the Feng army on the opposite side was still crowded with people. It seemed that the strength of the troops had not been reduced after the fierce battle just now. If the fight continued, there would be no chance of victory.
I'm back.
Holding the arrow stack in his hand, he looked at Xu Hua who was covered in blood. He was heartbroken and reluctant to give up. He shouted urgently below: "Xu Hua, I know that you have the heart to serve the country with all your loyalty. Please lead the soldiers back to the city as soon as possible."
…”
Before he finished speaking, Xu Hua said seriously: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not obeying your orders! The country is in trouble, and we warriors should be fighting on the battlefield. Even if we are shattered to pieces, it is our glory. I hope your Majesty will fulfill my wish."
, beat the drums and cheer for us!”
The cavalry is used to attack the enemy, not to defend the city. If it is trapped in the city, it will be useless and will only become a burden that consumes food and grass. Xu Hua has now made up his mind, either to die in battle or to retreat.
enemy.
Looking at Xu Hua's firm expression, Shao Fang could already see his intentions. He felt sad, subconsciously gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and then looked at the ministers on the left and right.
Among the many Mochen, many of them had lowered their heads with red faces. Compared with Xu Hua, they certainly felt ashamed. It was they who advocated giving up resistance day and night and surrendering to the Feng Kingdom.
"If all of us could serve our country as loyally as General Xu Hua and be determined to die, how could I be where I am today?!" I don't know whether Shao Fang was blaming everyone or himself.
He looked back, grabbed the drum hammer, raised it high above his head, aimed at the drum head, and smashed it down with all his strength.
Boom!
The drums beat and the war horses neigh.
War horses are also spiritual, especially war horses that often fight. As soon as they hear the sound of drums, they will know that a battlefield is coming, and they will naturally become excited. At this time, looking at the Mo cavalry outside the city, all the war horses raised their front hooves,
Strange screams kept coming.
Dong! Dong Dong! Dong Dong - Shao Fang beat the drum continuously. Xu Hua held the spirit knife in one hand and the reins in the other. After steadying the jumping horse, he turned around and shouted: "Kill——"
"Kill -" the Mo cavalry shouted in unison. Tens of thousands of cavalry were like a tide, rolling up dust all over the sky and charging toward the Feng Army camp again.
Feng Jun. Tang Yin, Ling Shuang and others who were watching the battle from behind were completely different from the tragic atmosphere on Shao Fang's side. One was relaxed, chatting and laughing, and there were even guards who prepared tea specially for Tang Yin and Ling Shuang.
.
Looking at the Mo cavalry counterattacking from the front, Tang Yin drank tea leisurely and said with a smile: "This Mo army is pretty good, ferocious and tough, and would rather surrender than surrender. It's a pity that it was too stupid and died in vain on the battlefield.
It’s meaningless, it’s better to retreat to the city and kill the soldiers and horses to use as army rations!”
"Haha——" Lingshuang was also happy and said: "If Mo Jun is not stupid, how can the armies of our two countries, Fengyu and Yu, kill Zhenjiang City?!"
"Haha--" Tang Yin laughed on his back, looked around, and sighed quietly: "It is such a pity that such a prosperous country in Mo is in the hands of a fool like Shao Fang. It is also a pity that it can be taken back into the hands of the emperor.
It’s the general trend.”
Lingshuang's hand holding the tea cup shook slightly. She put down the cup, wiped the corners of her mouth slowly, then turned her head, looked at Tang Yin, and asked with a smile: "In Brother Wang's eyes, is Sister Wang a smart person or is she like Shao?"
Where’s that idiot like Fang?”
Hearing what she said, Tang Yinma realized that he was a little carried away, but he didn't care too much. In his opinion, with the current strength of Feng State, he certainly had the capital to be carried away. He shrugged and asked: "Why would Sister Wang do this?"
You ask that?"
"I'm afraid that one day suddenly, Brother Wang will feel that the kingdom of Jade should be returned to the hands of the emperor again." As she spoke, Lingshuang looked straight at Tang Yin.
Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, then laughed, shook his head and said: "Sister Wang, you are too worried. You and I have a pact between Qin and Jin, and we are as close as one family, so how can there be a war?"
Lingshuang retracted her gaze and said with a smile: "Brother Wang can think so, of course it is the best." Sometimes, Lingshuang's mood was also very complicated. Even she herself couldn't explain the marriage between her and Tang Yin.
Come out good or bad.
Because there is a marriage contract between the monarchs, the alliance between Feng and Yu is very strong. Jade State does not have to be wary of Feng State, the northern wolf, all day long. But precisely because of the marriage contract, Jade State can be threatened at any time.
It was annexed by the Feng Kingdom soldiers without bloodshed. This was the reason why Lingshuang was entangled in his heart.
The conversation changed and Lingshuang asked curiously: "After Zhenjiang is conquered, what will Brother Wang do with Shao Fang?"
Tang Yin pondered for a moment and said: "If Shao Fang is left behind, it will eventually become a disaster in the future."
Lingshuang didn't think so. What kind of disaster could a king who had lost his country become? What else could he do in the future?
She shook her head and said: "Brother Wang, why do you need to kill them all? After the demise of the Mo Kingdom, Brother Wang can naturally occupy the entire Ning Land and most of the Mo Land. Is there still no room for Shao Fang?"
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, looked at Lingshuang strangely, and said matter-of-factly: "If you cut the grass without eradicating the root, the spring breeze will bring it back again. Don't you understand this principle? Rather than leaving trouble for the future, it's better to be decisive now.
.Although Wang Mei is a woman, she is also the king of a country. There are some things that should not be treated with the kindness of a woman."
Lingshuang was speechless by Tang Yin, but that didn't mean that she agreed with Tang Yin's statement. She hated Shao Fang very much, but she felt that if she really wanted to kill Shao Fang, she would have gone too far.
The two of them were talking when they heard the sound of horse hoofbeats. Then, with a bang, a bloody, round human head was thrown in front of Tang Yin and Lingshuang's feet. Tang Yin didn't think anything of it, but Lingshuang could be killed.
He was startled and screamed subconsciously.
She raised her eyes and saw Qi Heng coming on horseback. When they got close, Qi Heng dismounted, knelt down on one knee, stepped in and saluted Tang Yin and said: "Your Majesty, the leader of the bandit army has been beheaded by the last general, and his head is still there.
Please take a look at this, Your Majesty."
Tang Yin was happy, he lowered his head and glanced at the bloody severed head, and then said to Qi Heng: "Thank you for your hard work, General Qi. Take the brothers of the Ninth Army back to the camp to rest!"
"Your Majesty, you are not tired at the end of the battle!" As he spoke, Qi Heng turned back to the two lieutenants Ye Tang and Gao Yu who were following him and said, "You two take your brothers back to the camp to rest first. I will accompany your Majesty here to supervise the battle!"
Ye Tang and Gao Yu responded with their hands, and they both rode away.
Seeing that Ling Shuang next to Tang Yin had a bad expression, following her line of sight, Qi Heng saw the head he had thrown on the ground. He chuckled in his heart, a woman is a woman, and there is no need to see blood! He then ordered the guards to take off the head.
, then retreated to Tang Yin's side.
Tang Yin turned his head and asked, "What is the name of the enemy's general?"
Qi Heng replied hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I forgot to ask about this junior general. I only know that the thief's surname is Xu, and the thief army calls him General Xu."
Tang Yin raised the corner of his mouth noncommittally, raised his head and said, "This General Mo can be regarded as a loyal man who served his country with all his heart. His body was found and buried together with his severed head."
Qi Heng scratched his hair and wanted to say something else, but when Tang Yin's eyes turned to his face, he did not dare to say no more and hurriedly bowed and said: "Yes! Your Majesty!"
At this time, Qing Yu on the side said: "Your Majesty, this person's name is Xu Hua. He was originally a disciple of Shao Fang. Later, after Shao Fang inherited the throne, he was promoted to lieutenant general."
"Oh, that's it." Tang Yin nodded, and then smiled: "So people's vision is the most important. If you choose the wrong master, the consequences can only be like this."
Qi Hengda nodded his head in agreement, and was very happy that he had defected to the Feng Kingdom and was assisting the Wind King Tang Yin. Qingyu was silent. The reason why he turned to the Feng Kingdom was not because he did not want to assist Shao Fang, but because he wanted to assist Shao Fang.
Shao Fang couldn't tolerate him and didn't give himself a way to survive. He had no choice but to betray Mo State.
