Xiang Mo, the general of the Wu Kingdom, cannot be said to be invincible with his martial arts skills, but he has few rivals.
The long knife in his hand is heavy and fast. Every time he cuts, the cold light is accompanied by the strong wind, as if he wants to crack the monument and crack the stone.
The more they fought, the more frightened Xu Rong became. He didn't expect that his opponent was so skilled.
The two men were still fighting fiercely, and with the addition of Wu Jun's infantry, the scope of the chaos became wider and wider.
Just like that, after fighting for who knows how many rounds, a young Qin army general next to him happened to be here. Without thinking, he yelled and joined the battle circle.
He came from the side, and Xiang Mo flicked Xu Rong's blade away without even looking. He made a mistake with his hands and slashed away with the long sword.
With a click, the young general's sword was cut off directly from the middle. The blade's force remained unabated and hit him right in the face!
This sword was so powerful that if the young general hadn't had the resistance of the sword, he would have been split into two pieces.
The blade reached the bone, and blood flowed across it. Xiang Mo drew the knife instantly, and the young general also let out a shrill scream, covered his face with his hands, and kept retreating.
ah! ? Xu Rong was shocked when he saw this. He knew that young general, and he had some martial arts skills. He didn't expect that he would be defeated by Xiang Mo with his sword!
His heart was shaking wildly, but he was in a daze, but Xiang Mo was not idle. After putting away the sword, knowing that Xu Rong could not take it down in a short time, he ignored it. Instead, he pulled the reins, turned around and rushed into the Qin army's formation, preparing to break through. surrounded.
By the time Xu Rong reacted, the latter had already galloped into the crowd, causing a chaos.
"Where are you running!" Xu Rong stared and immediately chased after him.
On the other side, Xiang Mo was also sweeping and slashing, his horse galloping, and at the same time he shouted: "Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
The courage of an admiral is enough to defeat a thousand enemies. In this critical situation, Xiang Mo used all his special skills in order to survive. He used all his strength in every blow, making it impossible for anyone to stop him. .
Soon, he fought his way through thousands of troops, but at this moment, Huangfu Ye, who was also protected by soldiers, suddenly started shouting at the top of his lungs: "General Xiang Mo, save me—— "
This voice was not very far away from Xiang Mo. When the latter heard the cry, he paused at first, but then he ignored it and rushed forward.
Because in front of him, escape is already in sight, and behind him, Xu Rong is about to catch up. If he turns around, he will be trapped again and will be unable to fly.
Xiang Mo is definitely not a righteous person. At this time, in order to survive, he doesn't bother to care about Huangfu Ye!
In a desperate effort, Xiang Mo finally broke through a path with his remaining ten cavalrymen.
He was overjoyed, and his eyes were ignited with hope. He didn't care about anything, and ignored the random arrows. He yelled and started to pound the horse's buttocks.
The war horses galloped with all their might, and despite such a rigorous killing spree, the other party was able to overtake ten of them. Naturally, Xu Rong refused to comply and directly chased after them.
In front, there are war horses galloping. Behind, the fighting continues. Wu Jun has long been defeated...
A moment later, there was a wilderness.
Seeing someone behind him who wouldn't let go, Xiang Mo gritted his teeth, tightened the reins fiercely, and turned around.
As soon as he stopped, the dozen or so horsemen who were following him to escape also tightened their ropes and stood guard on his left and right.
The sound of horse hooves came.
"Uu——"
Xu Rong also reined in the reins and began to confront Xiang Mo at a distance.
The latter was already covered in blood, and his face was blurred with blood stains. When he saw Xu Rong, he pointed his sword directly and said sternly: "I am General Xiang Mo! You are chasing me like this, do you want to fight with me?"
"Do you dare to duel with me!"
He raised his sword to demonstrate. Xu Rong looked at the dozen riders and remembered Xiang Mo's martial arts, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Now he is alone, and the other party has a large number of people. If he fights, he may not be able to gain any favor.
Xu Rong's character is very happy with success, only seeks self-interest, and likes to weigh the pros and cons.
In fact, to be honest, his martial arts skills can definitely give him a head-to-head fight with Xiang Mo.
If this were the case for either Peng Shuang or Tang Yue, they would fight to the death with Xiang Mo.
But Xu Rong is not them.
He lacked the power of a tiger general.
Seeing his hesitation, Xiang Mo snorted coldly, then stopped talking nonsense, turned the horse's head and walked away.
Looking at the opponent's back, Xu Rong hesitated again, then pulled the reins and silently rode back.
Rather than saying that he was timid, it was better to say that he was unwilling to risk his life. In his opinion, it was very likely that he would not be able to defeat Xiang Mo, and it was not worthwhile to take this risk.
It was almost evening, and the fighting was basically over.
Huangfu Ye failed to break through and was forced to retreat to Xiaogu. Almost half of his 80,000-strong main force was lost, and the containment troops on the left and right suffered heavy casualties.
At this time, excluding the sick and wounded soldiers, Wu's army had less than 50,000 men to fight, and the cavalry was basically wiped out, and food and grass were almost cut off. Even if they wanted to kill horses to satisfy their hunger, they would not be able to hold on for a few more days.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, all the generals of the Wu army were almost all stained with blood on their armors, and they all looked downcast and looked embarrassed.
Such a vigorous breakthrough can be said to be Wu Jun's strongest counterattack. After the miserable failure, the hope of trying to break through next time will undoubtedly be even slimmer. It is completely reasonable for the generals to be in such a low mood.
After the inspection and report, he learned that Xiang Mo was nowhere to be found. Huangfu Ye couldn't help shouting: "Fail me with Xiang Mo! Fail me with Xiang Mo——"
All the generals were silent, their heads lowered.
The deputy general moved his lips and said: "Sir, general, the sick and wounded soldiers in the military camp were unable to be treated because there was no medicine. Many...many froze to death..."
When Huangfu Ye heard this, he couldn't help but cry out sadly: "Su Yi brought me to the point of death, and the spiritual army didn't save me. God is going to kill me -"
His eyes were about to burst, and as soon as he finished speaking, he whipped out his sword and put it on his neck.
Hearing the commotion, the generals hurried forward and stopped him with all their hands, "General! What are you doing!"
"General, don't commit suicide! If something unexpected happens, the three armies will be left without a master..."
"General..."
The generals cried out in sorrow. Huangfu Ye was held down by his arms. He looked around slowly and almost shed tears: "In such a desperate situation, I am sorry for you, I am sorry for my Wu army officers..."
"We still have hope! We can launch another breakout! General, please don't give up..."
"If you have this intention, why would the soldiers of the three armies fight..."
Everyone tried to persuade him, but Huangfu Ye screamed again and dropped his sword to the ground.
More than 100,000 troops were unable to break out. Now there are only 50,000 left, and their strength is even smaller. Wu's army is in a desperate situation that can no longer be reversed.
After this battle, although the Qin army suffered losses, it achieved a complete victory. The generals also began to advise one after another, saying that there were not many main forces left in the Wu army and they could implement an encirclement and suppression strategy.
However, it was not adopted by Su Yi. He said: "The Wu army should have almost enough food and grass. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, there is no need to attack by force, besieged without fighting, and wait for them to die of cold and hunger."
