Since Qin Feng arrived in Gusu City, this was the first time that a battle of this intensity broke out between the two sides.
In order to suppress the enemy army, Qin Feng sent out almost all the troops he could send out, except for the guards around him.
At the same time, Xu Mo, who was on the eastern front, was already in a bitter fight.
He only felt that there were more and more enemy troops around him. All eight thousand soldiers under his command were out, and the flames of war were raging in all directions.
Logically speaking, it was Gusu City that was besieged, and it should also be the defenders of Gusu City who were besieged. But the current situation is exactly the opposite, Xu Mo has been besieged.
He frowned, realizing that the situation was not good, and quickly ordered to gather the troops.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Before the ordering soldiers could leave, the deafening shouts of killing had already come from the southeast.
Xu Mo, who was sitting on horseback and had been directing the battle, quickly followed the sound and saw an enemy army rushing towards where Xu Mo was.
The size of this enemy army is not small, with visual estimates of at least several hundred people!
An army like this that goes deep into the "enemy camp" must be dead soldiers, so a few hundred people is already a lot.
The soldiers and guards stationed around Xu Mo immediately went into battle and organized defense.
Seeing the fighting close at hand, Xu Mo didn't panic at all. It was tantamount to wishful thinking for these hundreds of dead soldiers to rely on surprise attacks to behead Xu Mo.
However, Xu Mo still called the deputy general over and asked in a deep voice: "Why can the enemy appear here? Could it be that our army's formation has been torn apart?"
The deputy general frowned, his expression extremely solemn: "General Qizhen, rather than saying that the formation is torn apart, it is better to say that... our army has become unsustainable."
Xu Mo had known for a long time that his army was already in a hard fight, but he always felt that everything was under control.
It wasn't until he discovered that the enemy's dead soldiers had rushed right under his nose that Xu Mo finally realized that the situation had reached such a critical moment.
Once the eastern front is breached by the enemy, it will inevitably endanger the entire Gusu City battlefield, and may even make Qin Feng's strategic deployment fall short.
Xu Mo immediately began to gather the army, but it turned out that the army was all entangled and could not be recovered at all...
Xu Mo couldn't help but sigh: "How many enemies are there around here?!"
"That's not right! The wealthy families in the south must have taken action and cooperated with Gusu City Yingwai..."
Almost as soon as Xu Mo realized this, the guards' shouts came to his ears.
"Escort General Xu to retreat quickly!"
What? !
Xu Mo quickly looked around and saw that the guards blocking the enemy's dead soldiers could no longer hold on.
At first, there were only a few hundred people on the other side, but now, there are thousands of people, killing more and more? !
It is obvious that the wealthy families in the south are preparing to use the eastern front as a breakthrough to defeat Xu Mo and then defeat Qin Feng's strategic plan.
Xu Mo made a judgment immediately: "Listen to me, no one is allowed to retreat even half a step and defend the defense line for me!"
"If you can fight for an hour, fight for an hour. If our army retreats, King Qin will definitely be attacked by two wings, and the consequences will be disastrous."
Although all the lieutenants and guard captains tried their best to dissuade Xu Mo from evacuating the battlefield immediately while there was still a chance.
But Xu Mo's attitude was extremely resolute. He must be like a nail, nailed here firmly and hold on to the front.
Xu Mo took the lead, dismounted from his horse, directly carried the gun, and under the protection of a group of guards, he personally started fighting with the enemy.
More and more enemies appeared in front of Xu Mo's eyes, but the number of guards around Xu Mo became smaller and smaller.
From the initial 800 people, it has dropped sharply to less than 300 people.
Even Xu Mo was almost hit by the enemy's arrows, but Xu Mo had no intention of backing down and yelled: "Kill me!"
"For Daliang and King Qin, even if blood is spilled on the battlefield, it doesn't matter!"
Xu Mo roared and kept waving the rifle in his hand, slashing at the charging enemies.
Xu Mo is worthy of being one of the chief generals of Beixi County, and his combat prowess is undoubted. Every time he takes action, one person will be killed by Xu Mo on the spot.
Under the support of fifty guards wearing heavy armor, Xu Mo was like a god of war, killing everyone in all directions. More and more enemy corpses were piled up around him.
It's a pity that no matter how brave Xu Mo is, he can't change the outcome.
They have been surrounded by enemy armies, and unless a miracle happens, they will be defeated.
Xu Mo was carrying Bu Cha, breathing heavily, his eyes wide open, in disbelief.
"This...how is this possible?"
"Why did the situation change so quickly?"
"With so many enemy troops, could it be that they all fell from the sky?"
Xu Mo was caught off guard. These endless enemies had exceeded Xu Mo's endurance limit. Until now, Xu Mo didn't even know where these enemies came from.
At this moment, densely packed arrows were already falling towards Xu Moshi like a downpour.
The surrounding guards quickly raised their shields and crowded together to protect Xu Mo in the center, struggling to resist the enemy's arrows.
As a result, these guards will no longer be able to free their hands to deal with the approaching enemy infantry combat.
"For King Qin!"
The roars of the guards kept ringing in Xu Mo's ears. He knew very well that every roar meant that a guard had been killed by the enemy.
Xu Mo's eyes were getting redder and redder. He stared at the enemy, ready to die together.
"General, we can follow you and die without regrets."
"It is our duty to protect King Qin's flanks. Now that the enemy has defeated the defense line, how can we survive with dignity?"
"Brothers, even if we shed the last drop of blood, we must let the enemy know how powerful we are!"
"That's right. We are soldiers of Beixi County and will never bow to the rebels."
Looking at the few guards around him, Xu Mo had already resigned himself to his fate. He no longer hesitated and immediately roared.
"Brothers, follow me and charge, even if you die, you must kill a few more traitorous thieves!"
The guards responded one after another, following Xu Mo and rushing out. Blood was splashing everywhere. After just a few gasps, there were only ten guards left around Xu Mo.
These ten people were all servants holding large shields. They protected Xu Mo and resisted the enemy's wave-like offensive.
Xu Mo was the only one, holding a rifle, and kept fighting back at the countless enemies outside.
"come!"
"Even if I die, I will still use you as my backer!"
Xu Mo roared like thunder, gritted his teeth, and fought hard, his eyes already stained red with blood.
At this critical moment, a deafening scream suddenly came from the west.
When Xu Moxun heard the news, he was stunned. He didn't know when the black cavalry had arrived, and the person leading the black cavalry was actually... Qin Feng? !
