Western Hills.
Smoke is everywhere.
The fire was raging and black smoke was billowing.
The entire Xishan Fortress was like a fire scene, making it difficult to breathe.
"Sir, this can't go on like this!" Xu Xiang shouted anxiously.
Su Yang didn't understand this.
But now of the eight thousand Xishan soldiers, there are only more than a thousand left, and most of them are soldiers of the Shenji Camp.
This is due to the powerful combat power erupted by the Shenji Battalion, so the Xishan Army has been protecting them intentionally or unintentionally.
After such a fierce battle, the Xishan army was completely defeated.
There are still at least 20,000 people in the Ping'an army, and now they are using any means to set fire to the mountain, forcing them to rush out and throw themselves into the trap.
This is a dead end and a desperate situation.
Su Yang is not afraid of death, and neither are the remaining soldiers.
But there are tens of thousands of civilian workers inside the fortress, and they can't just die miserably here!
"All soldiers, reload your ammunition immediately, there is no need to save anymore."
"Xu Xiang, lead a team of men to load the Crouching Tiger Cannon, cover us and rush out with the people!"
Su Yang gritted his teeth and ordered fiercely, looking at Xu Xiang with eyes full of apology.
With this order, Xu Xiang and the soldiers who control the Crouching Tiger Cannon will only end up with one fate.
But now that the matter has come to this, everyone knows that they have no way out.
Xu Xiang smiled heartily and took the order directly.
Su Yange held a three-eyed gun and looked at more than a thousand soldiers.
"No more nonsense."
"Abandon the standard fire blunderbuss and use all three-eyed blunderbuss!"
"When the ammunition is gone, let's rush forward and fight hand-to-hand!"
"Even if we fight to the last soldier, we must protect the people behind us!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
A famous soldier shouted.
At this last moment, no one backed down.
Su Yang's eyes were moist when he saw this, but he didn't say much.
He has really... tried his best!
But that bitch Zhu Di lost his temper at the critical moment. Even Guo Ying and Yu Tongyuan couldn't beat him, and he was blocked for so long!
"Zhu Di!"
"If only I could survive!"
"I will definitely reward you with some big mouths!"
Su Yang vomited viciously and took the lead in the charge himself.
The Ping'an army was not idle either. More than 20,000 soldiers of the Southern Army pressed forward and set up layers of encirclement outside the fortress, waiting for the Yan army to rush out and throw themselves into the trap.
Ping An's idea was good, but he forgot that Xishan also had a sharp weapon called the Tiger Crouching Cannon.
"fire!"
"Blast these Confederate bastards to death!"
Following Xu Xiang's angry roar, the Crouching Tiger Cannon once again showed its power.
Projectiles as dense as locusts shot out, tearing a hole in the first layer of defense of the Confederate army.
The Confederate soldiers guarding the front were suddenly shot by projectiles and were beaten into pieces. They didn't even have time to scream and fell into a pool of blood.
Suddenly, the Confederate army's formation became panicked, and many soldiers turned around and ran away in horror.
Upon seeing this, Ping An rode his horse forward and directly drew his sword to show off the head of a fleeing soldier.
"Stabilize the formation!"
"Anyone who escapes from battle will be killed without mercy!"
Ping An took action in time, used bloody suppression, and successfully stabilized the formation.
But then Su Yang personally led the team and led the remaining soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to launch a charge.
Behind them is a civilian worker who looks desperate!
"Kill out!"
Intense firecrackers sounded, and the Confederate defense line was torn apart again.
Even if Ping An ordered the archery rain in time, it was still a step too late.
Because this remaining Yan army exploded with unimaginable terrifying combat power.
They are like wild beasts in desperate situations, fearless of life and death, and fight bravely to kill the enemy.
After firing a volley of three-eyed muskets, they didn't have time to reload their ammunition, so they simply picked up this battlefield weapon and hit the enemy soldiers on the head hard!
Even if they were hit by several arrows, these people still pounced on the enemy. Even if they died, they would drag an enemy with them!
bloody!
crazy!
despair!
Su Yang was covered in blood.
He had no strength left and could hardly stand still.
The wound on his chest was still bleeding, and excessive blood loss made him increasingly weak.
But he was already surrounded by a dense crowd of Confederate soldiers, all of whom were staring at him unkindly.
Compared to the Xishan people who took the opportunity to flee, these southern troops were obviously more interested in him, Su Yang.
In other words, Su Yang made the right bet this time!
Yes, he is gambling!
The famous general Ping An is not a person who kills indiscriminately!
Bet that the soldiers of the Southern Army were more murderous towards him, Su Yang!
In this way, the people of Xishan have a way to survive and can take advantage of the chaos to escape into the mountains and forests!
"Hahaha……"
Su Yang finally burst into laughter.
Jia Yi was desperately killing the enemy. However, when he heard the laughter, he felt as if he was struck by lightning. He turned around and rushed towards Su Yang.
"Protect the young master!"
"All soldiers must rescue the young master!"
However, it was too late.
Ping An had already galloped up to Su Yang, raising the long knife high in his hand.
"Ping An, Ping An, do you have the nerve to call yourself a famous general?"
Su Yang held a three-eyed blunderbuss and couldn't help but curse Ping An.
"I killed nearly 30,000 of my 50,000-strong army!"
"In the end, I had to use these despicable means to force me to come out!"
"Is this what you can do safely? Hahaha... nothing more than that!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ping An rode his horse forward and swung his sword down without saying a word.
"Master?!"
Half an hour later, a group of cavalry came galloping from a distance.
Tan Yuan and Zhu Gaoxu rushed through the starry night, abandoned all their baggage, and finally spent the whole night rushing over.
However, when they saw the West Mountain for the first time, everyone fell silent.
This once noisy and bustling Xishan home has now become a scorched earth!
Zhu Gaoxu's eyes turned red instantly, he whipped his horse and rushed over.
"Will not!"
"Su Yang will be fine!"
"Everyone will be fine!"
"They must have evacuated in time!"
Zhu Gaoxu got off his horse and rushed up the west mountain like crazy.
However, what came into view was a picture of purgatory on earth!
There were corpses everywhere, bloodstains everywhere, and the entire Western Mountain was shrouded in blood.
No one knows what Su Yang and the others have experienced.
Zhu Gaoxu did not stop until he reached the top of the mountain. Finally, he could not suppress the grief in his heart and sat on the ground and cried loudly.
Gone!
All gone!
The entire Xishan Mountain has turned into a scorched earth!
Su Yang, Xu Xiang, Jia Yi, and so many workers and people...
"Safety!"
"Peace!"
"I want you to die!"
Zhu Gaoxu beat the ground crazily, venting his inner grief and despair.
However, the next moment, he suddenly heard movement around him and hurriedly looked up.
I saw a woman emerging from the forest with a child in her arms, and then one after another, more and more people and workers appeared in front of them.
Each one of them looked numb, with patches of black and white complexion.
"You...are still alive?"
Zhu Gaoxu was overjoyed and hurriedly asked: "Where are Su Yang and the others?"
Hearing this, the people and workers could no longer suppress their inner sorrow and sobbed softly.
"Why?"
"Why did you come back so late?"
"They are all dead... They all died in the battle!"
cried the woman with tears streaming down her face.
She will never forget that those sons and daughters never backed down to protect them.
But in the end, no one survived.
"died?"
"All dead?"
Zhu Gaoxu fell to the ground with a pale face as if struck by lightning.
Suddenly, a soldier shouted: "General, we have found General Xu Xiang, he is still..."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu rushed over immediately.
Xu Xiang's body was covered with arrows and he was standing forcefully with a knife.
He kept holding on for a breath just to wait for the last hope.
Finally, God was kind to him, and he still waited.
"Ping An... Young Master... quickly pursue..."
