"General Chen, the horse is blocked!"
Chen Zhong looked around, and as his subordinates said, Beiyu's Silver Halberd Guards had already sacrificed their lives in the battle.
"Chen Zhong died——"
Not far from the opposite side, Zhu Ye, the commander of the Silver Halberd Guards, held his head high and looked crazy. If the time gained by this step of one's own strategist cannot be accomplished, it is no different from a pig or a dog.
"Surround and kill Chen Zhong!"
While the flying halberd was laid down, without any delay, the Silver Halberd Guards from all directions came to kill them.
"Left wing!" Chen Zhong said calmly.
Unfortunately, at this time, another gun formation quickly appeared in the direction of the left wing. The formation pushed their spears and followed them around.
"General Chen, Beiyu people are surrounding us from the other three directions. The war horses we are waiting for can no longer run."
A war horse cannot run and charge, so it becomes a burden.
Zhu Ye, who was watching from the opposite side, smiled even more, thinking that Chen Zhong was about to die. After blocking the horses, the way back was blocked by flying halberds, and spear formations were also formed in the remaining three directions.
Of course, if it were an ordinary soldier with sword and shield, it is impossible to say that Chen Zhong would still have a chance. However, the nearly five thousand people under his command are the elite of Beiyu and even the entire world. The preparations were made before, and the gun-pushing formation was formed steadily.
There is nothing left to die.
Zhu Ye's face looked even crazier for a moment. As long as time is fast enough, it is said that the sheepherders and military advisors can be rescued. It is even said that they can take advantage of the weakening of Dawan Pass troops to capture the city pass.
As soon as he thought about this, Zhu Ye's murderous intention became even stronger. Just as the old military advisor said, one day Beiyu will unify the world, and he vows to become a distinguished general in the founding of the dynasty.
"Silver Halberd, Silver Halberd!"
They were surrounded and killed, and in the formation of pushing guns, countless cold halberds were pushed over. The Shuqi who were closer were quickly stabbed to the point of falling off their horses in the midst of the siege. Those who were not yet dead were quickly stabbed to death.
"Go straight to Chen Zhong's main formation!"
"The shield of the owl-headed Western Shu!"
There were not many people, and the people from Beiyu took the lead. This encounter was undoubtedly a difficult battle for the nearly two thousand Shuqi.
Chen Zhong had vaguely understood the potential of a pincer attack, and it was probably broken by the sheepherder. There was no sign of him in the enemy formation ahead. However, according to the strength of this Silver Halberd Guard, it seems that it has not decreased. How did the shepherd do it?
"General Chen, the enemy is fierce!"
"Know."
Chen Zhong narrowed his eyes. Zhu Ye in front looked even more ruthless than the last encounter. Once he takes action, it is a desperate move to the death.
"General Chen, can't race."
The horse cannot run or form a charge, and the damage caused will be greatly reduced.
"Fight!"
In front of Shuqi, two or three mounted captains were not afraid. They led their men and horses and shot them with guns. For a moment, there was a man who fell from his horse in Xishu, and a Silver Halberd guard who was stabbed to death in Beiyu. At this time, the two sides looked more like a life-threatening struggle.
"Capture the thief and capture the king!" Chen Zhong said quickly. In front of him, Beiyu Zhuye, as if to vent his anger, also brought multiple guards and got involved in the fight.
With two to three hundred cavalry, he rushed through the gun formation in one corner. Chen Zhong raised his gun and stabbed the two Silver Halberd guards in his way to death.
He also stabbed down a Shu knight. When he saw Chen Zhong coming to kill him, Zhu Ye's eyes were about to burst and he hurriedly stepped towards him. Behind him, hundreds of Silver Halberd guards could not stop shouting wildly.
"I, Zhu Ye, want to kill Chen Zhong!"
If you can fight to the death and kill the enemy's general, it will definitely boost the morale of the entire Beiyu army.
"Chen Zhong, take your life!"
Chen Zhong was furious and rushed forward with his men. The spear in his hand knocked over the enemy soldiers from time to time. All around his ears, the sounds of enemy soldiers charging towards him became louder and louder.
A dozen of the fastest Shu riders had already rushed near Zhu Ye, about to capture the king. Unexpectedly, Zhu Ye laughed angrily. After blocking for several rounds with the long knife in his hand, he joined forces with the guards around him. The rushing Shuqi were chopped to death in a pool of blood.
"Chen Zhong, how dare you use such a childish trick!" Zhu Ye's robes and armor were stained with blood, his head held high, and his voice was extremely cold.
The Silver Halberd Guards swarming from all sides were approaching again. As a last resort, Chen Zhong could only lead more than 200 cavalrymen, waving their guns all the way, and retreated to their own formation.
The situation is precarious.
Chen Zhong's eyes turned cold. At this time, the horse was blocked and the riding camp was of little use.
Raising his head, he glanced at Dawan Pass not far away.
What he is worried about now is that the defenders in Dayuan Pass will send a reinforcement force when they see him being surrounded. If this happens, it is very likely that he will fall into Zhu Ye's plan. No matter what, if Zhu Ye dares to make a desperate move now, he will keep one hand prepared to prevent him from falling into a two-sided war.
"Two wings, protect the Chinese army." Chen Zhong half-squinted his eyes. At this point, unable to force this Beiyu people into a pincer attack, they were already at a disadvantage.
That sheepherder is really a genius in the world.
"General Chen has ordered us to shrink our formation and protect the central army with both wings!"
With only a thousand people left in the cavalry formation, the Beiyu Silver Halberd Guards' spear-throwing formation was pressing forward step by step. It was estimated that it would not be long before they were forced into a blind corner and then annihilated.
There were too many people and the horses could not move to fight. Zhu Ye of the Silver Halberd Guard seemed to have blocked all his escape routes.
Chen Zhong gritted his teeth and looked around. At this time, beside him, apart from protecting his two wings, there were only more than a thousand soldiers left.
"Turn the horse's head!"
"General Chen, could it be that you are about to charge? The horses cannot run at this time."
"The spear formation in the north is weak, so we will turn the horses' heads first." Chen Zhong said in a calm voice, "The battle is critical, and I have no time to prepare. I will abandon the horses later and drive the horses to the north for a round of charge!"
"I'll wait for the infantry behind and fight back to Dawan Pass!"
…
At the gate of Dayuan Pass, a Xishu general frowned, eager to leave the city immediately to rescue his general. But he could also see clearly that under the city, there were more than a thousand people left behind by the Silver Halberd Guards, preventing them from leaving the city.
What is even more worrying is what kind of disaster will happen to the last two or three thousand people after they leave the city.
"General Song, why don't you take 2,000 men and send them out of the city to charge into the formation." At this moment, a girl came next to her with a very serious voice.
"Miss Shangguan?"
The person who came was none other than Shangguan Yan. After Shangguan Yan paused, he continued, "In the past two years, my father has been fond of reading military books, and I have also been exposed to it through my ears and eyes, and I know a little bit about it. As long as I can break through the first formation blocked by the Beiyu people, I will wait for the second round and then go out. We can break through the interception of the Silver Halberd Guards and lead General Chen Zhong back to the city."
General Song named Pi was silent for a while and then nodded immediately. As of now, there is no other good way. But no matter what, General Chen Zhong outside the city must not die in the fighting of the Beiyu people.
"Pass my military order to pick up 2,000 Beiyu prisoners of war as soon as possible!"
