The bright sunshine spreads to the earth without reservation, and turns into shadow through the trees.
Incredible! Reaching out from the shadow to the light, you will feel something fall into your hands, as if you have received a gift from God.
The cold body gradually became warmer, and the dim vision became clear. The spring breeze blows through the armor and gets in between the gaps, just like gently caressing your skin, which is indescribable comfort. The trickling water washes the shore tirelessly, not knowing where it is going, leaving only the soft and sweet sound echoing in the ears. Open your mouth and breathe, there seems to be a sweet smell in the air.
This is really a good day to pretend to be polite, arty, and drink wine! He seemed to hear the gentle, awe-inspiring and noble sound of the pipa again.
"sorry······"
Zhou Tai opened his eyes.
On the steep slope that had been rolled over by countless boulders, only broken branches and leaves were left, a mess. In front of them were the soldiers of the two armies who were fighting. The road was covered with fallen corpses, but no one stopped, and they continued to fight even if they stepped on the mountain of corpses. There were also many corpses floating in the river. Some were slowly washed away by the current, and some were caught on the shore. The clear river was dyed red one after another. There were noisy sounds of fighting in the ears, and the smell of blood floated in the air.
There were only more than a hundred people left in the Tiger Roar Camp guarding Zhou Tai, and he sat there motionless for a long time. The wounds all over his body would form bleeding scars, but the lost blood would not come back. Xiahou Dun suspected that he was already dead. With only a thousand people fighting fiercely from last night to dawn today, even Xiahou Dun had to admire the tenacity of the Tiger Roar Camp.
After another half-day delay, coupled with the subsequent efforts to clear the battlefield, dredge roads, and rest the army, perhaps the Wei army had lost the opportunity to pursue the Chu army. Xiahou Dun had a complicated mood. On the one hand, he was irritated and angry because he could not explain to Cao Cao, but on the other hand, he felt admiration and regret. He rubbed his brows and turned to leave. He was exhausted after a night of commanding even though he didn't participate in the battle.
"General, are you awake?!"
The surprised shouts of several Chu soldiers passed through the noisy battlefield and penetrated into Xiahou Dun's ears, making him stop in his tracks. His pupils dilated slightly, and he slowly turned around in surprise.
Zhou Tai stood up again. The broken armor was stained with blood, and hideous scars could be seen on the exposed areas, but his eyes were piercing, and his fierce fighting spirit seemed to pierce Xiahou Dun.
"stop!"
The loud voice overshadowed the battlefield. The Wei army at the forefront slowly retreated about ten steps, guarding the Chu army with lingering fear. Xiahou Dun slowly stepped forward.
"General Zhou, as long as you are willing to surrender to our Wei Dynasty, I am willing to let the remaining Chu army soldiers live. I can also guarantee you that my king will treat the general well as a general. As for leading the troops in battle, I can ask How about my king transfer you to the west to fight against the Qin army, so you don’t have to deal with the Chu army?”
If it was just a routine matter to persuade him to surrender before, now seeing Zhou Tai's unyielding figure after fighting all night, Xiahou Dun really felt sympathy for each other.
Wei State needs such people to conquer the world. No king would think there are too many such talents. Xiahou Dun wanted to recruit Zhou Tai for Cao Cao.
Zhou Tai was surprised when he heard Xiahou Dun's words. He didn't expect to be surrendered again and offered such generous terms. He cupped his fists slightly to express his gratitude, and then asked.
"General Xiahou, does he know that our country of Chu has two generals and ten generals?"
Xiahou Dun did not speak, but narrowed his eyes.
Zhou Tai clenched his spear and walked forward step by step. He continued calmly.
"It goes without saying that the two generals need to say more. The other generals of the Chu State can lead one side and protect the peace of the country; they are all good at fighting in terms of martial arts, and they can take the heads of enemy generals among thousands of troops."
"Although Zhou Tai is both a general, he cannot be alone. There are many powerful generals in Chu, but Zhou Tai is the most unworthy."
I've always known that I was never a genius. I kept chasing and chasing, but I could never catch up with them! I'm just a mediocre person.
"My lord knows my talents and relieves my worries. He actually entrusts me with the powerful weapon of Tiger Roar! I am loyal to my lord and Zhou Taiwan will die without regrets. Why should General Xiahou bring humiliation on himself?"
Is the Chu army really so talented?
Xiahou Dun couldn't tell whether what Zhou Tai said was true or false.
Looking at the scarred Zhou Tai and more than a hundred Chu soldiers, but there were tens of thousands of Wei soldiers behind him, Xiahou Dun knew that as long as he gave the order, it would only take a moment to overwhelm the enemy army. That's why he couldn't help frowning and sighing.
"By fighting to this point, you have fulfilled your duties as kings and ministers. The defeat of this battle is not a crime of war. Even if General Zhou surrenders now, I believe that even the King of Chu, Sun Ce, will not blame the general. Why must the general fight to the death? "
Zhou Tai laughed again and shouted.
"You still need to ask? Of course it's because Da Chu is the best country in the world!"
"good!"
Xiahou Dun couldn't help but laugh.
He was not wrong about the person. Although he regretted not being able to conquer Zhou Tai, Zhou Tai was the same as him. Such a person has no choice but to fulfill his righteousness.
"Get my knife!"
Upon hearing this, the soldier immediately handed over Xiahou Dun's long knife, and Xiahou Dun also handed over the decorative sword around his waist to the soldier. Seeing Zhou Tai standing in front of the formation, he stepped forward step by step, and the Wei soldiers consciously moved out of the way.
Zhou Tai grinned.
"You're not a coward! Watch me kill you in front of the formation!"
Xiahou Dun waved the long knife a few times to move his body, and immediately mocked after hearing this.
"Even if you use your words, I want to see how much strength you still have?"
After saying that, Xiahou Dun suddenly accelerated and rushed forward, jumped up, and slashed at Zhou Tai with his long knife.
Zhou Tai raised his spear horizontally, and the heavy force made his arm bend slightly.
"Well done!"
Zhou Tai shouted loudly, his whole body shrank back slightly and then suddenly tensed up, pouring all his strength into his hands to push Xiahou Dun out. Naturally, he would not stop there. He swiped his spear smoothly, like a whirlwind. After Xiahou Dun blocked the blow, he was knocked back one step.
Zhou Tai knew that using a knife was more flexible in foot combat. Once he was entangled with him, he would gradually fall into a disadvantage until he died. But real masters will not get into trouble because of horse fighting or infantry fighting or the length of weapons. They have used their weapons to the extreme and are not afraid of any opponent. Zhou Tai firmly remembered that Sun Ce once said to him that one way to deal with such an enemy is to use force, and the other is to use skill.
Zhou Tai didn't have Zhao Yun's exquisite marksmanship and skill, so he had to use his strength to control the spear and fight with domineering force.
"kill!"
Zhou Tai had no other thoughts in his mind, he just wanted to kill a Wei general for his lord before he died. Taking advantage of the victory, he pursued the attack and stabbed Xiahou Dun in the heart with his spear. Taking advantage of the long weapon, he stabbed out more than a dozen times in a row after failing to succeed, which made Xiahou Dun tired of dealing with it.
After ten rounds of fighting, Xiahou Dun was always at a disadvantage. He was shocked and annoyed. After knowing that Zhou Tai had been fighting fiercely all night, he almost thought that Zhou Tai had died fighting hard. Who would have thought that Zhou Tai still had such fighting power! Secretly screaming in his heart, he held his breath and concentrated on looking for Zhou Tai's flaws, abandoning the original idea of fulfilling Zhou Tai's righteousness, and truly regarded this battle as a battle of life and death.
Zhou Tai's spear skills were fierce and unforgettable, and Xiahou Dun's sword skills were equally powerful. The two men's fight was so dangerous that the soldiers of both armies cheered loudly. Unfortunately, the cheering voices were obviously crushed by the Wei soldiers. No matter how loud the hundreds of soldiers from the Tiger Roar Battalion shouted, they were drowned out by the tens of thousands of Wei soldiers.
But these can't really affect the duel between the two. Both of them are first-rate military generals. How can their minds be swayed by just a few shouts? Only strength can determine the outcome of the two.
After more than thirty rounds of fighting, Xiahou Dun managed to close the distance with Zhou Tai despite an injury to his left forearm. He immediately changed his previous open and close sword skills and used a "sticky" tactic to entangle him endlessly.
The situation began to reverse, and Zhou Tai was entangled by Xiahou Dun and couldn't get away.
Since then, scratches gradually appeared on the broken armor, and all the injuries were caused by Zhou Tai.
This time, Zhou Tai was not impatient. For some reason, his body was so cold that he gradually felt no pain. His eyes were fixed on Xiahou Dun, studying his sword skills, his character, and his emotions.
Fifty, sixty, eighty...
It has been 110 rounds of fighting, and Zhou Tai has never fallen.
The more Xiahou Dun was beaten, the more frightened he became, and Zhou Tai was probably the weaker he was.
But no matter how the wounds increase, as long as it can't kill him, he will become stronger!
This move is more subtle than the last move, this blow is more powerful than the last blow, this moment is stronger than the previous moment!
crazy!
I don’t believe I can’t kill you!
Xiahou Dun was also furious. Taking advantage of Zhou Tai's move to the left, Xiahou Dun slashed at Zhou Tai's head, but he bent forward and dodged, only knocking off his helmet.
At this time, Zhou Tai grabbed the handle of the gun with his right hand and pulled it back. With his left hand, Zhou Tai bent forward and grabbed the middle part of the spear. He straightened his hands and flicked the gun head hard. The spear that had clearly been swung empty turned around and hit Xiahou Dun on the waist.
Xiahou Dun vomited blood and flew out. He hit the mountain wall and stopped. He quickly got up and glared in Zhou Tai's direction. What surprised Xiahou Dun was that Zhou Tai did not take advantage of the opportunity to pursue him. He just stood there holding the spear in one hand and taking off his armor with the other.
There was nothing difficult about the broken armor. It seemed as if it fell to the ground with just a slight touch, exposing Zhou Tai's wounds all over his body. There was barely a piece of intact skin, and without the armor, he looked like a bloody man. His hair was disheveled, but Xiahou Dun felt that those eyes were staring at him closely, with firm and cold killing intent.
Xiahou Dun almost screamed!
He began to wonder if Zhou Tai was still conscious after fighting? Isn't it just the murderous intention driving this body?
"kill!"
A loud shout interrupted Xiahou Dun's thinking, and Zhou Tai rushed over!
no the same! no the same!
Zhou Tai's marksmanship was sometimes fierce and unforgettable, and sometimes varied. Xiahoudun couldn't understand what Zhou Tai was thinking at all, so he had to fight in embarrassment.
A gun shot out of nowhere and slit the armor on Xiahou Dun's abdomen. If he hadn't reacted slowly, he would have been disemboweled by Zhou Tai.
What made Xiahou Dun even more frightened was that Zhou Tai's strength was getting stronger and stronger, and Xiahou Dun took three or four steps back even if he resisted a blow head on. It was as if the person in front of him was not a person, but a wild beast.
The soldiers had long since lost their voices, and the duel in front of them attracted their attention like a magnet.
In the one hundred and twentyth round, Xiahou Dun became afraid and wanted to escape.
Then he got angry!
He is a general of Wei State! Facing an enemy who had been fighting all night and was covered in scars, how could he escape? !
"come!"
Xiahou Dun's eyes were wide open, he opened his door wide and roared at Zhou Tai.
Without hesitation, Zhou Tai's spear pierced Xiahou Dun's heart like a bolt of lightning.
A sound that penetrated armor and penetrated flesh and blood.
Xiahou Dun avoided his heart in the flash of lightning and let the spear pierce his shoulder. He firmly grasped Zhou Tai's gun barrel with his left hand and slashed at Zhou Tai's arm holding the gun with his right hand.
This is gambling with your life, so cruel!
boom!
Xiahou Dun flew out.
It turned out that Zhou Tai was not greedy for success and was always alert to the danger. After he stabbed with the spear, he kicked Xiahoudun in the chest and kicked Xiahoudun away.
Xiahou Dun flew a few steps away and rolled several times before stopping at the feet of the Wei army soldiers. Blood surged from his shoulders and his bones were about to fall apart. The soldiers helped him sit up and suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted.
Li Dian and Du Ji were horrified and quickly ordered the soldiers to fight forward. They also hurriedly asked the soldiers to carry Xiahou Dun to the rear for treatment.
"Protect the general!"
Although there were only a hundred or so people left in the Tiger Roar Camp, they were not afraid at all. It would be better to say that their morale was greatly boosted.
As expected, no matter how brave the Tiger Roaring Battalion was, fatigue, injuries, and numerical suppression had already determined the outcome. They could not hold on much longer, and the entire Tiger Roaring Battalion was annihilated.
Each of them laughed wildly when they died, making Wei Jun feel chills all over his body.
Zhou Tai was also stabbed in the right chest by a soldier in the chaos. Although he killed the soldier later, he finally fell on the mountain of corpses.
Li Dian and Du Ji both breathed a sigh of relief.
"A few people went to pick up Zhou Tai's body. He was a good man and was buried alive. Others moved away the big rocks, cleaned up the body, and cleared the road."
The soldiers followed the order, but soon stopped. Because the heads of the two soldiers who went to carry Zhou Tai's body fell to the ground.
Zhou Tai stood there with his body supported by a spear, his hair disheveled and covered in blood.
"No one can take a step forward until Zhou Tai is dead."
Wei Jun froze, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly, and everyone seemed to have seen a ghost.
Even Li Dian and Du Ji couldn't stop trembling.
"Bow, where are the archers? Where are the archers! How many arrows do we have left? Shoot for me! Shoot for me!"
