Huan Xun's face turned pale, and he felt that the long knife in his hand was getting heavier and heavier, almost to the point where he could no longer wield it.
At this time, he had five or six wounds on his body, and there were more than a dozen arrows stuck in his back.
The intense physical exertion and the bleeding from the wounds had brought Huan Zhen to the point of reaching the end of his strength.
"Kill the thief!"
After Huan Xun wielded his long knife and chopped off the arm of a Nanpu soldier, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his thigh.
A Nanpu soldier hit his leg hard from the side with his mace.
The long spikes instantly made Huan Zhen unable to move his thighs.
He staggered and fell to his knees, leaning on the ground with the long knife in his hand.
Huan Xun breathed heavily, making a whirring sound, like an old bellows.
He looked to the side with bloodshot eyes.
Huan Zhen could no longer see any of his subordinates standing. Except for himself, he was surrounded by Nanpu soldiers who were slowly approaching.
Because of the violent fighting power that Huan showed just now, these Nanpu soldiers were greatly afraid.
"Bitch thief! Come on, grandpa is not afraid of death!"
Huan Xun's face twisted and he let out an angry roar.
The entire encirclement was only a few steps wide, and a few brave Nanpu soldiers immediately rushed forward.
Several swords and guns came towards Huan Xun.
"Kill the thief!"
Huan Xun shouted angrily, and struck back with the long knife in his hand, cutting off half of the face of a Nanpu soldier holding a mace.
"ah!"
The Nanpu soldier screamed, covered his bloody face and fell to the ground, twisting in pain.
After Huan Xun tried his best to deliver the final blow, he was finally stabbed in the chest and abdomen by two spears.
"Crack."
The long knife in his hand finally couldn't be held anymore and fell to the ground feebly.
"superior!"
When several Nanpu soldiers saw this, they rushed forward and planned to chop Huan Zhen into pieces.
At this time, suddenly a Nanpu Yi language shouted loudly from behind.
"stop!"
"The marshal has an order to arrest them alive!"
These Nanpu soldiers immediately swarmed up and planned to capture Huan Chuan alive.
"Huan Cun, I would rather die than surrender!"
Huan Xun said weakly, then suddenly pulled out an arrow from his chest and stabbed his throat hard.
"puff!"
With the sound of flesh being pierced, Huan Xun fell backwards.
There was a pop.
He fell to the ground and could no longer breathe.
The surrounding Nanpu soldiers all showed horrified expressions.
These Han troops are really terrifying!
Don't worry about your life at all when fighting.
This is only a few hundred people, and the Han army in Taiyuan City ahead must be at least tens of thousands.
This is already the case for hundreds of Han troops who are not afraid of death.
If we were to face tens of thousands of Han troops like this, how many people in the entire Dafunan Kingdom would be able to die?
You must know that the Dafunan Kingdom is centered on Nanpu of the Hushui Department, and there are not even 10,000 people.
Even if all Nanpu people are counted, they are only a few hundred thousand.
If this continues, all the Nanpu people in Dafunan Kingdom will have to die before they can capture Taiyuan City.
When they thought of this, all the Nanpu soldiers looked at Taiyuan City with horror in their eyes.
Taiyuan City is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den!
at the same time.
On the top of Taiyuan City, all the common people who were watching the battle watched with their own eyes as hundreds of Huan Zhen's men started fighting and then died in the battle until all of them were killed.
This kind of bloody spirit that is not afraid of death has already made everyone's blood boil.
"Huan Tongzhi, what a good man!"
"Nanpu dog thief, this revenge must be avenged!"
There were bursts of tragic roars from the crowd.
The big guys in the chat group also expressed their feelings.
Ying Zheng: "Well, I enjoyed watching it today. This Huan Zhen can be regarded as a man who sacrificed his life to become a benevolent man. Boy Zhao Ji, please don't waste this opportunity. Hurry up and boost your morale."
Liu Bang: "That's right, I think so too!"
Li Shimin: "What a pity. If we had five thousand more elite soldiers, we should rush out of the city gate and make a surprise attack. We would definitely be able to defeat the Nanpu dog thieves!"
Zhao Kuangyin: "Zhao Ji, after this battle, the name of Taiyuan Fort City will scare the Nanpu bandits."
Cao Cao: "The Nanpu thieves must have been scared out of their wits. I don't know if they still dare to attack the city."
Liu Xiu: "Yes, yes, we should quickly boost morale and suppress the arrogance of the Nanpu thieves!"
Zhao Ji immediately said, "I have already thought of what the bosses said. Huan Zhen has died in the battle, so naturally his death cannot be in vain!"
After Zhao Ji finished speaking, he strode towards the highest arrow platform of the tower.
"Generals and soldiers of the Han Dynasty, common people!"
"You have all seen how heroic and bloody Huan is in controlling them!"
"Everyone has seen with your own eyes that the so-called powerful enemies of Nanpu are nothing more than this. They are not inferior to swords and guns, and they do not have three heads and six arms. If they are cut by swords and guns, they will still die!"
"Huan Tongzhi and the others are all good men. One against ten, they are model heroes for my great man!"
"Huan Tong and them died in order to save Taiyuan City and save the Han people. This kind of bloody behavior is worthy of everyone to imitate!"
"Although Huan Zhen is dead, his heroic spirit is still there!"
"Everyone, fight to the bitter end with the Nanpu Hulu!"
After Zhao Ji finished speaking, he raised his sword high and shouted loudly toward the outside of the city.
The surrounding soldiers and civilians were all excited, holding their swords, guns, bows and crossbows high, and shouting loudly.
"Fight to the bitter end!"
"Fight to the bitter end!"
Waves of shouts gave the entire Taiyuan City an unshakable momentum.
After annihilating Huan Zhen's group of Han troops, Mang Manbi's Nanpu soldiers did not feel the slightest joy of victory.
Huan reported that these hundreds of people killed and wounded almost the same number of Nanpu soldiers.
Coupled with the crossbows and artillery fired by the Han army in Taiyuan City, hundreds of people were killed and injured.
In total, the number of casualties among Nanpu people was more than double.
What's even more frightening is that the Nanpu soldiers who witnessed this bloody battle were already fearful in their hearts.
"Marshal, something is wrong with our brothers." A Nanpu general whispered in Mang Manbi's ear.
Mang Manbi turned around and saw that the faces of Nanpu soldiers in groups were full of confusion, and they completely lost the arrogance and confidence they had before the war started.
"Zhao Ji is so cunning. He used only a few hundred men to demoralize our army. It's really abominable!"
Mang Manbi tightened his grip on the riding whip and said fiercely.
"In this case, let's not rush to attack the city. Let me surround Taiyuan City tightly. I will starve them all to death and trap them in the city!"
Anyway, there are almost no Han reinforcements outside Taiyuan City. As long as Taiyuan City is surrounded, Zhao Ji has no way to break it except to abandon the city defense and go out to fight.
The Nanpu army can search for food and grass around Taiyuan City and slowly wear out the defenders in the city.
"Cut off Huan Zhen's head and hang it outside the camp for public display!"
"I want to show the Han dogs in Taiyuan City what the consequences of stubborn resistance are!"
Mang Manbi looked at the corpse of Huan Zhen that was dragged over and said viciously.
However, this vicious tone revealed an indescribable hesitation.
Obviously, Mang Manbi was also shocked by the bloody nature of the Han army just now.
He is also a little afraid now that there are tens of thousands of bloody Han troops in the city, and the national destiny of Da Funan may be in danger.
Under the fire of the Han army's crossbows at the top of the city, the Nanpu soldiers hurriedly dragged away the bodies of their own people and retreated.
Zhao Ji also immediately sent people out of the city to snatch back the corpses of the Han soldiers.
Upon seeing this, some Nanpu soldiers were ready to come up and stop them again.
However, after a round of bombardment from the Hongyi cannon at the top of the city, several mutilated corpses were left behind and they retreated dozens of steps.
"Your Highness, all the bodies have been recovered, but there are no Huan Zhen ones!" Cheng Yaofunan said with a disappointed look on his face.
He originally hated Huan Zhen who was against Jin Huan, but after the bloody battle just now, Huan Zhen's tough guy behavior made Cheng Yaofunan put aside his prejudice.
I still feel that I have neglected my duty by not recovering his body for burial now.
"I'm sure I can't find it. Look there!" Zhao Ji shook his head slightly and pointed forward with his hand.
"Where?" Cheng Yaofunan looked in the direction pointed.
Three hundred and four hundred paces away, the flag of the Victory Army could be vaguely seen, as well as a human head next to it.
They were all used as trophies by the Nanpu people and hung up in demonstrations outside the camp.
"These wild dogs!" When Cheng Yaofunan saw this, his blood suddenly surged with anger, and he wished he could fly over and fight the Nanpu people for 300 rounds.
Regarding this situation, the big guys in the chat group couldn't stand it anymore and gave Zhao Ji advice one after another.
Ying Zheng: "How dare these bastards be so wanton? If I were here, I would definitely kill all their dogs and chickens. Zhao Ji, can you still bear it?"
Liu Bang: "Yes, quickly send troops to attack and snatch Huan Zhen's body back. This is not a simple body, but the last barrier for the Nanpu Hugou to show off his power!"
Li Shimin: "The barbarians must be on guard when they camp so far away. If you go to rob, you must be careful. It is best to use a night attack from the east to the west!"
Zhao Kuangyin: "Nanpu dog thief, don't let him go. Zhao Ji quickly lets go and bites Funan to get Huan Zhen's body back."
Liu Xiu: "If you can snatch Huan Zhen's body back, it will not only suppress the arrogance of the Nanpu Hulu, but also boost the morale of the people. It will also fulfill your reputation of safeguarding talents. Don't miss this good opportunity!"
Li Yuan: "I agree, +1!"
Liu Bei: "I agree, +1!"
Cao Cao: "I agree, +1!"
. . .
Among all the big guys offering their advice, Zhao Ji was not at all flustered or impatient.
"Everyone, don't worry, I will never make it easy for this Nanpu Hugo!"
"Let's just wait and see tonight!"
Seeing Zhao Ji so calm, the bosses were all surprised.
Ying Zheng: "Well, boy Zhao is not that kind of coward. He must have a way. Tell me quickly, what is the way?"
Liu Bang: "Me too, please tell me what your plan is?"
Li Shimin: "Is it possible that you are thinking about a night attack just like me?"
Cao Cao: "Fire attack! We, Old Cao, think that fire attack is the best strategy. Just like when we burned down Wuchao and defeated Yuan Shao, it was fire attack."
Liu Bei: "Ahem! I also think fire attack is good. When there was a big fire in Chibi, who was burned?"
Cao Cao: "How dare you do this, big-eared thief!"
Liu Bei: "Oh, you can't say it anymore?"
. . .
No matter how these big guys asked, Zhao Ji didn't answer.
He smiled mysteriously and then said.
"It can be said to be a night attack, but it's not the kind of night attack you think!"
"It can be considered a fire attack, but it's not the kind of fire attack you think!"
Everyone was itching to be asked by Zhao Ji, and they all tried to lure Zhao Ji with red envelopes, trying to get Zhao Ji to reveal such a magical plan quickly.
"Don't say it, don't say it!"
When Zhao Ji saw this, he refused with a smirk on his face and was no longer moved.
Outside Taiyuan City.
After a bloody battle, Mang Manbi had already made up his mind to besiege Taiyuan City.
Unless the defenders take the initiative to go out to fight, they will never attack the city forcefully.
With such a terrifying Han army and the defensive advantage of the city wall, even if all Dafunan's elite soldiers from hundreds of battles were dead, it would probably be difficult to break through the city.
Therefore, Mang Manbi ordered the entire army to build camps outside the city and prepare for a long battle.
Because the big Han people nearby seemed to be hiding in the cracks in the ground, and no one was seen.
The tiring work of digging ditches and digging soil can only be done by the Nanpu Taijun themselves.
However, the most painful and tiring part of the work still fell to the Khitan, Youyun Han and Bohai people in Da Funan's army.
It was finally dark, and the Funan Army's camp was finally completed.
Everyone was very tired and fell asleep quickly.
Even the army marshal Mang Manbi was taking an early rest.
Anyway, the construction of the Dafunan camp was completed, and open posts and hidden sentries were set up. Even if the Han army in the city dared to make a sneak attack, they would definitely not get any good results.
'Purrrrrrrr. . '
Mang Manbi lay on the deerskin mattress and soon began to snore.
Sudden!
A rumble of thunder came from outside the dark camp tent.
"Why did the weather change in the middle of the night and it was going to thunder and rain?"
Mang Manbi, who was woken up, was thinking in a daze.
Before this thought disappeared from his mind, a sudden burst of screams pierced the night sky and rang out in the Funan Army camp.
"ah!"
"Ghost!"
The screams and horrified shouts outside the camp became louder and louder, and Mang Manbi jumped up in excitement.
"What's going on!" Mang Manbi shouted outside.
A soldier who was guarding outside immediately ran in.
"Marshal, marshal, it's not good, the camp was hit by thunder and ghost fire!" the soldier said with a look of horror.
"Sky thunder? Will-o'-the-wisp?"
Mang Manbi looked confused.
He suddenly thought of the rumbling thunder weapons used by the Han army on the top of Taiyuan City.
"fart!"
Mang Manbi suddenly realized what he was doing and kicked the soldier over.
"Where did the thunder come from? It must be the treacherous trick of Han Dog. Give me the order quickly and no one is allowed to move!"
After saying this, Mang Manbi hurriedly ran out of the tent.
As soon as he opened the tent door, he was immediately stunned.
Threads of fire were already rising in the Funan Army camp, and many dead and injured Funan Army soldiers were screaming shrilly, which looked particularly scary in the chaotic camp.
The entire Nanpu military camp was in chaos.
These Nanpu soldiers, who were physically and mentally exhausted and frightened, had no idea where the enemy came from or how they attacked and set fire.
Under this unknown fear, many people ran away aimlessly.
