"He can't escape, he can't escape!" Zhao Chengdu was chattering all the way. Because of his own stupidity, Jiang Meng, a veteran at the South City Gate, was surrounded by the Shu army.
It’s hard to say…
If he can't make up for his mistakes, when he returns to Changyang, he is afraid that his master will kick him to death on the spot.
At this thought, Zhao Cheng became even more anxious.
"Quickly, march towards the swamp! Everyone, the Shu people have no retreat. This time, we swear to kill Qingfeng!"
"Roar!"
The more than 30,000 Beiyu troops who followed them all roared. Although these more than 30,000 people are not as elite as Jiang Meng's Eastern Route Army, they are indeed a mighty army under such circumstances.
The wind and snow suddenly became more and more howling.
In the swamp area, Huang Daochong quietly closed his eyes and listened to the scout's report. As he thought, after Jiang Meng stalled for time, their remnant army had no time to leave.
"Beiyu General Zhao Cheng is leading an army to attack from the east."
"The military division of Beiyu is always victorious. The troops are divided into two groups. He personally takes charge of one army and comes from the northwest. Another group of troops, also numbering four or five battalions, also comes from the southwest."
Huang Daochong smiled and said, "You are worthy of being victorious. Even so, there are two ways. He probably wants to kill me completely. Everyone, we are about to have another life-and-death fight."
The Shu soldiers nearby, whether they were generals or soldiers, laughed loudly at this time without any fear. Many people still have wounds from the previous battle on their bodies.
"My lord, if you haven't guessed it, you should be thinking of a way to break out." Huang Daochong raised his head and looked at the winter scenery of Kezhou in the distance.
He stretched out his hand as if to grab every tree and piece of grass. He is not from Kezhou, but he has been in business for half his life. Kezhou has long become his hometown and his guardian.
Huang Daochong, once the uncrowned king of Kezhou, died a worthy death today.
"Array-"
At this moment, this graceful and graceful man in troubled times burst out with infinite power from his old body. The voice of the military order was like piercing the thick fog in the sky above.
"Follow the military commander's orders!"
"Go back to Qishili Tomb Mountain with... and General Ma Yi!"
In the end, there was only a long force of less than ten thousand people left, and they quickly formed an army. Since there is no way to retreat, let's use the ambition of the Shu people here to create another wave of majesty.
…
The troops are approaching the swamp.
Chang Sheng stood on a snowy slope, wrapped in a large cloak, looking ahead silently. From a high position, he could easily see the situation around him.
The two armies to the west, like two giant pythons, began to follow the swamp and quickly surrounded them. Zhao Cheng from the east, with more than 30,000 troops, had also arrived and surrounded the Shu people in the swamp tightly.
"Little strategist, be careful of Qingfeng's breakthrough."
Chang Sheng shook his head, "I told you earlier that although Jiang Meng died, it also delayed Qingfeng's time to break out. I think Qingfeng also understood this very well. Even if he had the intention to choose to fight his way out, but You see these soldiers of Shu, after going through a life and death battle, and it’s snowy winter, they finally don’t have the strength to run long distances.”
"So, that Qingfeng is resisting."
Chang Sheng was silent for a while, "Qingfeng is a strange person. I always feel that there is some kind of agreement between him and King Xu Shu. If not, he had only joined Xi Shu not long ago, why would he be so desperate?" But I also know what he is thinking, he seems to be helping King Xu Shu break out of the encirclement."
"Breakout?" Yan Pi was shocked.
"I have been blocking the Snake Road, which means that King Xu Shu's troops are short of food and clothing. Their morale is gradually shattered and the possibility of breaking out is lost. Within one day, I only need to kill Qingfeng and then turn back. Snake Dao, make a plan to kill King Xu Shu again, this is the real way of killing two snakes with one shot."
Chang Sheng raised his head and exhaled.
"Once these two people die, the whole of Xishu will be in chaos. Even if there are lame people here, nothing will be changed."
"Yan Pi, go and deliver the order. The army will surround Qingfeng."
"Military advisor, can you persuade me to surrender? Qingfeng is a great talent in the world, and he has only been with King Xu Shu for a short time."
"I can't persuade him. All his blood and loyalty are dedicated to Xi Shu."
Yan Pi was silent for a while, nodded and walked down the slope.
Not long after, the flag was raised high. Riding one horse after another, the generals kept running back and forth to deliver orders.
"The military advisor has an order, and the army is besieging -"
"kill!"
…
In the east position, after hearing the military order, Zhao Chengzhuang was crazy, "Listen to this general's order, everyone, cooperate with the army to the west, and immediately kill Qingfeng of Xishu!"
"Roar!"
From all directions, the Beiyu army rushed over, and the sound of tong drums and horns filled the sky from time to time.
"Hiiya!"
Not long after, waves of flying arrows were thrown out from the Shu people's formation.
Many Beiyu soldiers rushed over, and many of them fell down all of a sudden.
"Reflection——"
The Beiyu Buguns who were behind them also raised their bows and arrows under the order to cover the charge of the front army.
The two sides were fighting each other, and the battle was extremely fierce.
Under the cover of Beiyu's infantry bows, infantrymen all over the mountains and plains had already rushed in front of the Shu people's phalanx.
"Stabilize the formation——"
The remnant army of less than 10,000 people and more than ten Xishu generals raised their swords and shouted angrily.
The final round formation began the first round of crazy resistance. Countless Beiyu soldiers brandished their weapons and fought hand-to-hand with the Shu army.
"Roar--"
"Push the gun!"
In the large circular formation, long spears poked out from the gaps in the formation, stabbing many Beiyu soldiers who rushed forward until they coughed up blood and staggered.
"Throw kerosene!" A Beiyu Pi general raised his sword and shouted.
One by one, the cans of kerosene were smashed into the Shu formation like crazy. Not long after, another fire arrow fell from the sky.
Buzz——
The fire visible to the naked eye quickly burned in the array.
"Snow, snow!"
Many Xishu step-bowmen put down their bows and arrows, and all hugged the frost and snow, regardless of the cold, and spread towards the fire.
The fire of winter will never burn.
"Surround the formation, put the front and rear positions first. Step with your bow and keep shooting!" Huang Daochong stood firmly in the formation, still not panicking.
The two places on the left and right are swampy areas. It will take some time for the Beiyu people to come over. What he has to do is to hold back these three armies at all costs so that the Lord of Snake Path can break through.
…
"Lengziying, cut down the wood and push it into the swamp!" Zhao Cheng, who was commanding, had anger all over his face. The remnant Shu army in the front is clearly at a dead end, and it is clear that there is no way to save it, but it is still trying desperately to hold on.
"Whoever takes Qingfeng's head will be granted the title of Beiyu General and be rewarded with a thousand gold coins——"
"Kill! Avenge General Jiang Meng!"
The morale was high, and countless soldiers from Beiyu rushed forward to cover up the enemy.
In the swamp to the west of Kezhou, which had experienced two life-and-death battles, the smell of blood spread everywhere. The originally vast snow was suddenly, at this moment, dyed with blood.
