There was an extra big flag in the battle formation. It was the black-headed crow with the word "wu" that was familiar to both the Zhenwu Army and the rebels.
Only this time, instead of a tall and mighty black-faced and white-as-jade general, he was led by a white-faced boy.
After Wu Xiao left the city, Wang Li came out, holding Wu Ya'er's banner and following behind Wu Xiao.
The appearance of this big flag made Wuxiao immediately become the most eye-catching place on the battlefield.
"My father went out for me, and the rebels took advantage of the situation. I came to kill the enemy on my father's behalf." Wu Xiao did not panic. He shouted loudly under the banner, holding up the knife in his hand, "Soldiers, kill the enemy."
Wang Li signaled to the soldiers around him to spread Wu Xiao's words out loud, and finally shouted to follow Mr. Xiao to kill the enemy.
The war drums were beating and the flags were waving. It was clear that Wu Ya'er was not in Xiangzhou, and the panic of the soldiers fell to the ground. Since this was already the case, they could only fight desperately.
The slightly chaotic military formation once again condensed into solid rocks. The rocks were spread out densely outside Xiangzhou City, blocking the incoming waves.
But at the same time, hearing the shouts and seeing the big flag, the waves became more ferocious than before.
Without the wall of the city, he could more clearly feel the blood rushing in his face. Although he had been messing around in the military camp, this was the first time that Takeko stood on the battlefield where he was fighting.
The turbulent wave was still coming towards him, and the screams, cries, and roars were mixed with waves of shouts.
"Kill his son!"
"Kill his son!"
Wuxiao held the knife tightly with one hand and the reins with the other hand, as if he was going to rush into the battle himself at the next moment.
"Young Master Xiao, you don't have to do anything." Wang Li said from the side, "Just stand here."
In fact, he couldn't do much. With his small body, even if he held a big knife in his hand and rushed into the fighting battlefield, he couldn't kill a single rebel.
All he can do is stand here, waiting to live, or waiting to die.
Wu Xiao raised the sword in his hand and shouted with all his strength: "Kill the enemy!"
...
...
"That is Wu Ya'er's son."
The rebel leader pointed forward with his hand, looking ferocious and sneering.
"It's quite courageous."
The news that Wu Ya'er was dead originally spread the news that the Zhenwu Army was distracted, but it was disturbed by this kid who jumped out.
That's fine. Originally, we were worried that if Xiangzhou was breached, the Zhenwu Army would risk their lives to protect Wu Ya'er's adopted sons from escaping. Now that Wu Ya'er's adopted sons jumped out on their own, they could kill two birds with one stone.
The general's sharp eyes penetrated the layers of military formations and landed on the crow flag.
"Retract your wings and only move towards the child. The forward and back-up support will be endless. The one who cuts off this child's head will inherit the title of Lord Shou Zhong!"
He beat the war drums with his own hands. When he heard the war drums and heard the rewards, the soldiers fighting became more fierce, and the reinforcements waiting in reserve also poured in.
The roaring, horses, footsteps, chariots, earth-shattering.
...
...
The rebels were getting closer and closer, and Wang Li couldn't hide the worry on his face. He looked at the child beside him, who was still holding the knife and his voice was hoarse.
"Young Master Xiao, you will charge with me later." He said solemnly.
Wu Xiao knew very well what it meant for the general to charge. There was no fear on his face. His voice was too hoarse and he didn't want to speak. He just nodded and pointed behind him with a frown.
Wang Li knew what he was asking, and looked at the child's face seriously for the first time: "Master Xiao, don't worry, they will protect Master Xin and wait for him to leave. All the troops and horses will not be lost here. If Xiangzhou is captured, it will be lost.
We will take it back another day. The governor has long said that in war, victory is victory and defeat is defeat, and defeat is victory."
Wu Xiao nodded to express his understanding.
It's just that Wuxiao can't evacuate, he must stick here until others can evacuate safely.
We are about to embark on the road to hell together. Wang Li saw that the child's face was no longer as disgusted as before, and his expression was a bit softer: "If we can win this time, whatever the filial piety tells me, I will do it from now on."
Wu Xiao's face suddenly lit up, and he said in a hoarse voice regardless of his sore throat: "I will eat meat every day from now on."
Wang Li's face turned dark. He was reluctant to speak with all his strength for such a thing. "Meat," he thought again of Mrs. Chu. These children used to follow Mrs. Chu, eating meat was like drinking water...
"Okay." He nodded, "I will find meat for you every day."
Wu Xiao smiled happily.
Wang Li looked ahead and could see the ferocious faces of the first batch of rebels rushing over. It was time for a hand-to-hand fight. He raised the spear in his hand and said to the soldiers on the side: "Raise the spear.
"
The soldiers waved their flags, and the war drums changed their orders. The surrounding soldiers dropped their crossbows and sabers, took out the spears from their backs, and raised their shields with one hand and their spears with the other.
"kill!"
The sharp spears were aimed at the oncoming rebels, and they collided with the rebels in rows and formations like a wall.
The sound of fighting was loud, the screams were constant, and the people who fell in hand-to-hand combat were like cutting wheat. The generals on the wall of Xiangzhou only glanced at it, and then turned away with grief and anger. They wanted to escort Wu Xin and others with their troops and horses.
Break out from the other direction.
"Sir! There are reinforcements!"
Just as they walked down the city wall, shouts rang out from the wall.
Reinforcements?
Everyone raised their heads in surprise.
"It's not reinforcements." The guards on the city wall shouted heartbreakingly, "It's the governor, the governor is back!"
...
...
"Really a crow?"
The rebel leader looked back with hesitation.
The first thing you see is a large flag. The black-headed crow integrated with the flag is wooden and gloomy, making people feel chilly just looking at it.
"Sir, it is indeed Wu Ya'er." The soldier shouted, his face turned pale, "And they shouted..."
"What are you shouting for?" the general asked.
The soldier didn't answer, but a sound of thunder came from behind.
"Weizhou is recovered!"
"The Commander-in-Chief retakes Weizhou!"
Weizhou is one of the four states close to the capital. Did Wu Ya'er actually take the opportunity to capture Weizhou? Then their rear would be in danger.
"Sir, what should I do?" the soldier asked urgently, looking panicked.
The attack on Xiangzhou this time was mainly due to the absence of Wu Ya'er. Now that Wu Ya'er is back, the fighter planes are gone. If Weizhou really falls, they cannot lose their troops here...
The general took another look at Xiangzhou City, which was very close at hand. He was just one step away. If Wu Yaer's adopted son hadn't appeared...
He yelled hatefully: "Retreat!"
...
...
Cheers rang out in Xiangzhou City, echoing the cries on the ground outside the city.
The city gate opened wide, and soldiers and horses rushed out. Running at the front was a group of young children, both male and female. It was not that they were good at riding, but that the others deliberately lagged behind, although they also wanted to pounce as quickly as possible.
Go to the general who is galloping towards you, but let the father and son reunite first.
Wu Xin and others surrounded Wu Ya'er, and Xiao Wan surrounded Wu Xiao first, relieved that he was convinced that his injuries were not fatal.
"Dad, did you really take back Weizhou?"
"Daddy, it's really amazing!"
Mixed in with the cheers were the compliments from the young people one after another.
Wang Li stood not far away and did not step forward. He had been very disdainful when he saw these children surrounding Wu Ya'er before, but at this moment, he felt that there was a bit of warmth, probably because they had experienced life and death crises together.
Thinking of the thrill just now, he couldn't help but sigh: "Actually, it's good to have children."
There were too many things to do, including cleaning up the battlefield and chasing down the rebels. They were busy until nightfall, when Wu Yaer walked into the hall surrounded by people.
"How was the journey?"
"Is An Shouzhong really killed?"
"What happened to the recapture of Weizhou?"
Everyone is talking and there are too many questions to ask.
"These are not important, let me ask first." Wang Li brushed aside everyone and looked at Wu Ya'er, "Have you met Mrs. Chu? Have you seen what she looks like?"
Wu Ya'er stood in front of several cases and was slightly startled by this question.
"I didn't pay attention to what she looked like." He said.
