Tang Jiye died.
"General!"
There was a cry of mourning in the crowd.
Some of the guards rushed up, snatched the body from Gai Yue's hands, and slapped him on the face unwillingly.
After getting no response, they burst into tears.
Those diehards who originally came up to kill Zhou Che bowed their heads sadly at this moment.
With the sound of swords drawn, corpses fell one after another.
The sharp blade that had followed Tang Jiye for many years and killed many enemies finally cut their own throats.
A strong wind blows, making the blood even heavier.
Several large flags with the word "Tang" scattered across the army fell to the ground while swaying.
thump--
Ding Fei was the first to react, kneeling on the ground, cupping his fists and bowing: "Infantry Colonel Ding Fei pays homage to His Highness the Sixth Prince!"
Wow——
The others also reacted.
There were sounds of people kneeling down around Tang Jiye's body.
From near to far, rising and falling, like waves, causing a roaring sound:
"Meet His Highness the Sixth Prince!"
"Meet His Highness the Sixth Prince!"
Amidst the mountain call, Zhou Che stepped forward, picked up Tang Jiye's sword, and handed it to Ding Fei's hand: "Maybe he holds this blade?"
Ding Fei trembled all over, held the sword in both hands and clasped it, his voice trembling: "I am willing to hold this blade for His Highness!"
"good!"
Zhou Che laughed and turned to face the troops: "Tang Jiye is dead. Whether it is a crime or a fault will be discussed by the imperial court in the future."
"All officers and men are dedicated to serving the country. If you can defeat Guo Zhenyue, you will have merit and no fault."
The troops bowed their heads and worshiped again, roaring loudly: "I am willing to obey His Highness's orders!"
"Colonel Ding Fei."
"exist!"
"You and Huangfu Chaoyi are guarding the army together. No one from the entire army is allowed to come out without authorization. Anyone who violates this rule will be killed!"
"Here!"
Later, Zhou Che summoned Huangfu Chaoyi in and asked him to lead five hundred soldiers to jointly command the army.
Tang Jiye is dead, and Ding Fei and his gang have no other way to survive except following Zhou Che.
As long as he is not a fool, he will not do anything outrageous.
Judging from his actions, it's obvious not.
As for Zhou Che himself, he quickly ran back: "How long will it take for the army to arrive?"
"The vanguard will be here in one day!" replied the subordinate at his side.
"Send an order for them to put down their baggage and march quickly!"
"yes!"
——The Ferry Battlefield——
"Your Highness! We are retreating!"
During the bloody battle, Cao Yanqing rushed to Zhou Han's side and gasped: "Our troops have suffered severe losses. Except for the five thousand old soldiers in the imperial army, the new soldiers sent by Henan Yin are simply unable to fight."
"There are many thieves in Guo. If we rush in, our escape route will be cut off, and we may be trapped here!"
puff!
Zhou Han swung his sword and cut off the head of a general of the Hedong Army. Thick blood spurted out all over his body.
"Tang Jiye will definitely live up to me!" He said: "Wait a little longer..."
"No need to wait any longer!" Cao Yanqing's face tightened and he spoke faster: "Your Highness, it's already dawn."
Zhou Han turned his head suddenly, and a pair of terrifying lights shot out from his bloody face: "What are you talking about?"
"Your Highness, I just went to the high point to check. There was no fighting behind the Guo thief!" Cao Yanqing said under pressure: "Either General Tang is in trouble, or he is deceiving..."
Zhou Han's face froze, and he immediately shouted: "Shut up!"
He turned his head and looked to the northeast, which was where Tang Jiye was stationing troops.
The promised fire signal never appeared...
Guo Jun's formation is stable, and there is no sign of being attacked from behind...
It’s over!
Tang Jiye must have had an accident!
Zhou Han's hand holding the knife suddenly trembled, and a chill began to surge through his body. The strength retreated, making his whole body weak.
For a moment, he took a sharp breath to suppress the fear.
"Your Highness!" Cao Yanqing was extremely anxious: "Guo thief has sent people to penetrate our flanks, please make a decision quickly!"
"retreat!"
Zhou Han drank this word.
Cao Yanqing felt relieved: "Your Highness, leave first, I will stop the rear."
Snapped!
As soon as he finished speaking, the blade in his hand was taken away by Zhou Han.
Zhou Han pointed his knife at the ferry: "Take the people away."
Cao Yanqing's expression changed: "Your Highness, how can this be done!"
"Stop talking nonsense, you can't stop Guo Zhenyue!"
Zhou Han reprimanded angrily and kicked Cao Yanqing out.
Cao Yanqing staggered to his feet and immediately retreated with the middle and rear troops.
The former soldiers who were engaged in the battle also turned around in a hurry when they heard this.
Zhou Han's sword was horizontal and he cut one person to the ground: "The front army stays! I'm still here, you want to leave?"
Everyone had nothing to say and could only stay together to say goodbye.
"Lord! Zhou Han's people have retreated!"
Next to Guo Zhenyue, the foster daughter wrapped in fine armor said excitedly.
"I saw it, hahaha!" Guo Zhenyue laughed and said, "Zhou Han is indeed very brave, but he overestimated Tang Jiye's courage!"
"Lord!" Someone rushed to his horse and said, "Zhou Han personally stayed behind."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Guo Zhenyue's eyes flashed with light, he pointed his sword forward and shouted: "Are the brothers on the left and right still alive?"
"exist!"
The personal guards responded in unison.
"Zhou Han is in front, kill him!"
"Here!"
The elite pushed aside the miscellaneous troops blocking the road ahead and pounced on Zhou Han.
Zhou Han held both blades and looked at them coldly. He suddenly laughed coldly: "Guo Zhenyue seems to be arrogant, but in fact, he first loses weight and loses his advisers, and then loses his elite. This thief will also be doomed."
"You still dare to pour out your elite, do you want my head?"
"It's a pity that Zhou Han's head is not so easy to pick off. It only saves people's lives!"
He shook his two swords and shouted in the bloody wind: "The heads of Zhou Han are here, who wants to get them!?"
The shouts of the thieves who rushed forward became louder.
Amidst the light of swords and shadows of guns, arrows flew out of the way.
Keng!
Zhou Han combined his swords and swung away several arrows.
"Left and right, follow me and eat this elite Guo Zhenyue, then no one will dare to chase him."
"yes!"
The former army left behind quickly moved closer to Zhou Han himself.
The next moment, Zhou Han entered the battle and slashed randomly with his two swords. Blood burst out and the flesh was broken into pieces like mud.
Zhou Han's swords were dozens of elite, and they penetrated directly through the front line of Guo's army, killing people like hemp grass.
The Guo army that rushed forward lost momentum and scrambled to retreat to avoid the attack.
"Hahaha! The rabble!"
Zhou Han laughed, bit the knife in his mouth, and pulled out the three or two arrows embedded in his body and penetrated the armor: "Back off!"
Guo Zhenyue frowned and waved: "Substitute, carry on!"
Zhou Han took this opportunity and called on the entire army to retreat.
The man still held the knife and cut off his back, fighting and running away.
When he jumped onto the boat, the wounds on his body burst open, and blood flowed like a stream in his armor.
Only then did he throw away the two knives that had already been chipped, and fell to the deck with a thud.
