"General!" Ju Chuan returned to Yan Tao with some pride.
Yan Tao's face looked slightly better and he said, "Not bad!"
Then he spat out a thick mouthful of phlegm on the ground: "Bullshit King Jin, today the Japanese general is going to use your head as a drinking vessel!"
When Ju Chuan heard this, he immediately felt something was wrong and asked quickly: "General, what did you just say? Who is that person? King Jin?"
Yan Tao nodded.
Ju Chuan was so frightened that he dropped the hard bow in his hand to the ground, and said with a mournful face: "General, why didn't you tell me earlier! Now the general, the general's life can't be saved!"
Guan Cheng's sudden collapse did not cause the Jin army to collapse, but instead caused the Jin army soldiers to completely fall into madness.
"Your Highness!" The first person to be frightened was Wang Ye.
Several strong steps rushed forward, throwing the swords in their hands on the ground and hugging Guan Cheng.
The soldiers behind him rushed forward quickly, carrying everything that could be used to block the situation and forming a circle.
"Your Highness! Wake up! Your Highness!"
Wang Ye held the arrow shaft with trembling hands, but he did not dare to pull it out for fear of causing heavy bleeding.
Guan Cheng closed his eyes tightly, his expression was still a little painful, and his lips were white.
"It's okay to be alone!"
A weak voice came out, and Wang Ye, who was in extreme worry, heard it clearly and was immediately excited.
"Your Highness, how are you injured? I will send your Highness to the doctor right now." After saying that, he was about to pick him up.
Guan Cheng quickly stopped him and said, "It doesn't matter if I'm alone. Thanks to the soft armor lining, it's just a little bit of skin damage."
Guan Cheng's voice was a little weak. The arrow just hit his chest in a short distance and was knocked to the ground instantly.
"Don't stand here, rush forward, Wang Ye, Gu believes in your ability, you are Gu's future general, don't let Gu down again."
Wang Ye's tiger eyes couldn't help but shed tears, and he said in a trembling voice: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will take Yan Tao's head to you even if I risk my life."
Guan Cheng shook his head and said: "As the leader of the army, don't talk about death lightly. You are the humerus of Gu, and Yan Tao is nothing. Go quickly, don't wait any longer, the casualties of the soldiers are already huge, you can succeed alone." The troops and horses will take care of you, go quickly!"
Wang Ye promised in a deep voice, and when he stood up, he had a murderous look on his body, obviously he was serious about it.
"Brothers, I will not stop fighting until Yan Tao is defeated. Come and kill him with me!"
At this time, the soldiers of the Jin army did not care about their formation, holding their weapons high and rushing forward following Wang Ye.
The flying tiger flag in the hands of the flag bearer also fluttered in the wind, and a power had quietly formed invisibly.
The momentum of the team of less than 400 people actually made Yan Tao feel frightened, and he couldn't care less about Ju Chuan who was trembling with fear next to him.
Yan Tao secretly cursed a loser and didn't want to talk to him anymore. He didn't understand that in this age where strength matters, what should he be afraid of if Datong is not like this? If a prince from the Chu Kingdom came, he would be the first to take the throne, but a prince is nothing.
The soldiers of the Jin Army were not afraid of the oncoming arrows in their anger. Moreover, the archers in the Jin Army had a significant decrease in arm strength and much less strength after the continuous rapid fire.
"Quickly pass the order. The weapons of the withdrawn soldiers must be distributed in the shortest possible time, and they must be arrayed immediately to provide support at any time."
Yan Tao has realized the crisis and seriousness of this situation.
How long have the soldiers of Zhili County been so brave?
But he is not afraid. Yan Tao firmly believes that his elite soldiers will win in the end. This is his confidence after leading troops for more than ten years.
"Left and right, attack!"
Yan Tao personally grabbed the drumsticks and beat the drums. This was already a critical moment for close combat.
Three hundred elites faced off against a formidable enemy of less than four hundred.
The enemy reinforcements in the rear are clearly visible, and the enemy vanguard in front of them must be blocked or even defeated in the shortest possible time to achieve the final victory.
This battle has reached the most important moment, and time will ultimately determine the outcome.
Yan Tao beat the drum and looked anxiously at the elites of the two armies who were approaching quickly.
The soldiers at the forefront of the Jin army all held up wooden shields, and behind them were armored soldiers holding long swords, and then there were swordsmen. Even the crossbowmen at the rear had abandoned their bows and arrows and replaced them with long swords.
The oncoming Jin army had a relatively single type of troops, most of them had long swords, and only a few of them held wooden shields picked up from the ground.
Yan Tao felt that his chances of winning were quite good.
Soldiers from both sides quickly collided with each other, and the huge impact caused the soldiers in the front row of both sides to fly backwards, only to be pushed back by the soldiers behind them. They were unable to help themselves in the battle formation.
Many soldiers fell to the ground in the first confrontation. Although not many were injured when the weapons penetrated their bodies, the force of the collision between the two armies was enough to shatter their internal organs.
The soldiers of both sides were almost crowded together, holding the swords in their hands against the shields and repeatedly stabbing through the gaps. The long swordsmen at the rear of the Jin army kept cutting down the weapons in their hands and then lifting them up.
Every breath can take away several lives.
A surprise battle completely turned into a head-to-head duel between the main players.
Although the morale of the Jin army was damaged, they were still on par with the Jin army because of their weapons.
Both sides are almost exchanging lives for lives.
The drum beat gradually became more and more intense, and Yan Tao seemed to want to use this method to gain a certain advantage for his troops.
The place where the lines of the two armies intersected was filled with blood. Soon the ground under their feet became muddy. The smell of blood in the air made the soldiers on both sides of the battle gradually turn red. The fighting between the two sides gradually turned towards the most primitive desire to kill. .
A Jin soldier had just thrust the long sword in his hand into the enemy's chest. Before he could pull it out, he was hit in the shoulder by a long sword from above. The severe pain caused him to burst out with strength far beyond ordinary people in an instant. , kicked the soldier Jin on the opposite side to the ground with one kick, and also knocked over the Chang Ge hand behind him.
Seeing this, the swordsman of Sergeant Jin immediately stepped forward and swung the long sword in his hand at the enemy mercilessly. However, the Jin soldier seemed to be deflated and unable to resist. The head rising into the sky brought with it bursts of blood mist. Sprinkle it on everyone's face.
But no one cared about this. The blood only stimulated the soldiers on both sides to become even more crazy.
Wang Ye rushed to kill at the front, and it was difficult to defeat an enemy in his hands.
The company commander in the Jin army also died under the sword after a few rounds.
Wang Ye pierced the Jin Army's formation like the sharpest long sword, which was even more obvious after the officers with higher martial arts among the Jin Army were killed.
The morale of the Jin army was high again, and Wang Ye took the lead and broke into the formation.
Yan Tao looked anxious. He had not seen this kind of desperate fighting style for a long time. If the military formation was broken, the whole army would be defeated.
"Ju Chuan! Go and bring back the enemy general's head yourself." Yan Tao handed the drumstick back to the soldiers around him.
"General Ruona is really the King of Jin, then all the countries will have an excuse to attack our country!" Ju Chuan said anxiously.
"You are really a waste. Do you want to go or not? If you don't go, I will kill you now for shaking the morale of the army!"
Ju Chuan had a bitter look on his face, but his heart was full of energy.
Yan Tao also sighed and said: "I don't know if he is King Jin at the moment, but the only one with such strength around here is this King Jin. But what do you think if I have such a big hatred against King Jin now?" Failure to remove the weeds and root causes is in danger of destruction.”
"As for the countries, the worst we can do is offer gold, silver and jewels, and then cede territory from Peng Shu. As long as we follow Chu, we don't have to worry about the likes of Zhou and Liang."
Yan Tao patted Ju Chuan on the shoulder and said, "Lao Ju, you and I have known each other for more than twenty years. After this battle, I will give you a large sum of money and you can become a county captain."
Ju Chuan finally nodded after hearing this.
He also understood that if he had not saved Yan Tao several times and had no ambition, Yan Tao would not have promoted him all the time.
I do have a lot of worries.
"Lao Ju's army must not be defeated. I need time. That person." Wang Ye, who had been fighting Yan Tao, said, "I need you to take down that person."
Hundreds of people from both sides were crowded together. Even though the place was small, there were only ten or so people, and Wang Ye was almost about to break out of the formation.
Once the military formation is penetrated, it will be a devastating blow to morale.
Mar Chuan naturally understood and immediately stopped hesitating.
He is timid only because he is afraid of killing people in invisible politics and court. On the battlefield, he is still a brave and fearless warrior.
The troops of both sides intertwined with each other. Under the leadership of Wang Ye, the Jin army became more and more courageous as they fought, but the Jin army's already unstable military morale was shaken again because of diarrhea and the defeat of the front camp.
At this critical moment, Ju Chuan rushed over with several personal guards, and a deserter was killed with a single swing of his sword.
"Soldiers, anyone who dares to retreat will be killed immediately!"
"Be the first to fight, all soldiers, follow me to kill!"
As soon as Marichuan took action, he would know if there was one. Marichuan, who was pouring into the formation, waved his arms up and down, but there was also no enemy in front of him. His bravery stabilized the morale of the Jin army that had collapsed.
As if it was fate, after Ju Chuan killed the enemy in front of him, he raised his head and saw Wang Ye not far away, and Wang Ye also happened to see Ju Chuan.
The soldiers on both sides moved out of the way as if they had a tacit understanding, and they roared at the same time and rushed towards each other.
The battle has completely reached its climax at this moment. Thinking about the battle between the generals in front of the battle line makes everyone's blood boil with excitement.
In Wang Ye's eyes, only the figure of the enemy general rushing towards him and the big yellow fang exposed on the opposite side were seen.
Wu Chengju finally arrived with 800 reinforcements from the rear. It's not that Wu Chengju and others were running slowly because of diarrhea, but everything happened too fast, and the combination of various coincidences would most likely equal a miracle.
Wu Chengju was originally full of confidence, but when he rushed in and took a look, Tianling Gai was almost scared away.
Guan Cheng was sitting on the ground at this time, and there was a soldier holding a kettle next to him. His cautious look showed that he was injured.
How can this be so great?
Wu Chengju took three steps and two steps at a time, not even paying attention to the soldiers behind him. It wasn't until he rushed forward and took a closer look that the heart hanging in his throat could be put back into his stomach.
But what followed was overwhelming rage and shame.
Wang Ye, a good-for-nothing, was usually very arrogant, but at the critical moment, he actually managed to injure His Highness. Several images flashed through Wu Chengju's mind, and he must be punished.
In Datong, if the general is killed or captured in battle, all his generals will be severely punished. Even those who are lucky will be sent to the guilty army company. Only by surviving five consecutive battles can there be a chance to avoid guilt, but the official will be reinstated. impossible.
Most of the other vassal states also inherited this system.
But once anyone is beaten into a criminal company, it is difficult to survive. When encountering a battle, a criminal company is the vanguard. To put it bluntly, it is a death squad, a death squad, and the first batch of cannon fodder in siege. Anyone who can survive five times is extremely lucky. brave people.
Wu Chengju thought that as soon as the battle was over, Wang Ye would be thrown into the Sin Army Company.
"Successful move."
"Your Highness, I am here!"
"Now you immediately separate two divisions, no, two companies, and try to destroy the camps on the flanks of the Jin soldiers. Gu speculates that the enemy's defeated troops are still useless, and as long as there is chaos, great things can be done. All the remaining people go to reinforce the king Night, we must fight quickly."
"But Your Highness."
Guan Cheng was angry: "Get out of here, you can only be safe if you defeat me, go!"
"Don't question any of Gu's orders again!"
Wu Chengju was shocked. This was the second time Guan Cheng had said such words to him. Guan Cheng in Yong'an City did not have such momentum and majesty at all. Apart from Yong'an City, Guan Cheng's growth could be said to be an almost instantaneous transformation.
Wu Chengju quickly picked up his weapons and divided his troops.
At this time, Wang Ye's left arm had been pierced by a long sword, and the armor leaves on his abdomen were stained with blood. It was obvious that the injury was serious, but Ju Chuan's head had already fallen into his hands.
In battles on the battlefield, everyone uses their killing moves and strives to win with the minimum effort and cost. Wang Ye and Ju Chuan only fought for more than twenty rounds, which was less than a cup of tea, but the dangers involved were What outsiders cannot understand.
Wang Ye raised Ju Chuan's head high and shouted to the surrounding Jin troops: "Who else is there!"
Of course Guan Cheng could see it and vaguely hear it, and he smiled.
The morale that Jin Bing had just gathered collapsed again at this moment, and many of them even dropped their weapons and ran back.
The courage of the general will lead to the death of the soldiers.
"Left and right, kill me!"
There were already several gaps in the long sword in Wang Ye's hand. It was obvious that the fight just now was very dangerous, and his hair was disheveled, but his momentum was unstoppable.
The soldiers could see the danger, but they didn't care. As long as their general won, they would be full of enthusiasm and start beating the drowned dog.
In fact, the number of soldiers around Wang Ye had dropped sharply from the initial 500 to less than 200, and the number of casualties exceeded a terrifying 80%, which even Wang Ye himself could not imagine.
If an army can still fight to the death after losing 30% of its battle damage, it is an elite. If it can still fight fiercely after losing 50% of its battle damage, it is a rare tiger in the world. Even Datong was nothing more than this when it was at its most glorious.
But tonight, a small brigade of mine commanding troops that were not directly related to our own was able to pursue the enemy after suffering more than 80% casualties. This was simply a miracle among miracles.
Wang Ye smiled with satisfaction. Having such a proud achievement in this life is enough.
Then Wang Ye fell straight back, with a satisfied smile still on his face.
The charging Jin soldiers did not know what was going on behind them. They heard reinforcements coming and saw with their own eyes their own general beheading the opponent's general. What could be more morale-boosting than this kind of thing.
With all the backs in front of you, it’s a good time to be wanton.
Yan Tao's face completely fell this time. He knew Ju Chuan's martial prowess thoroughly. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to go and kill the general and capture the flag at this time, especially when he knew that he was worried.
After all, although Yan Tao is also brave, he can't beat Ju Chuan in a serious matter.
Moreover, Ju Chuan is different from ordinary officers. He has served as deputy general all year round. All soldiers in the Jin Kingdom know this person, and this is especially true in his own army.
He could clearly feel that the morale of the army was really broken this time, and even if he personally took action, it would be difficult to make a difference.
There are more than a hundred elite people around Yan Tao, but it can be seen from their anxious eyes that they are no longer able to take on the big task.
Pulling out his sword, Yan Tao's throat surged. He was indeed ruthless, but he was facing opponents like Shu Guo and Peng Guo who were weaker than him. He was scared of this situation. If something unexpected happened, the power in his hands would be collected. What to do with the treasure?
How long have you enjoyed it after fighting for so many years?
What to do with the beautiful singer in the mansion?
"General, the enemy soldiers are charging forward, how should we make an early decision!"
The officer next to him was filled with murderous intent, obviously ready to fight to the death.
Yan Tao glanced at it and nodded slightly.
The officer was overjoyed and immediately said: "Please give me an order, general. I will definitely fight to the death and never let the thieves get even half a step closer."
"Fart!" the captain jumped out.
"The general is Zuo Sima. How can he go into dangerous territory personally? Why don't the general retreat first and assemble the army to figure it out later?"
Yan Tao glared and shouted: "How dare you shake the morale of the army! How can I, the leader of an army, retreat so easily? If so, how will I lead the army in the future!"
The officer also said contemptuously: "What the general said is exactly what he said. If everyone is as greedy for life and afraid of death as Colonel Wang, how can I, Dajin, attack and destroy the two countries of Peng and Shu!"
The captain surnamed Wang ignored the ridicule and said: "General, it's not that the general is afraid of death, but that the thieves are too cunning. There must be a big problem with the meat these days, and they used despicable tricks to raid our camp, which led to the loss of our army." A small defeat. But the general, who has a heavy responsibility for his family and country, must not take such a dangerous move. There are still more than 7,000 people in our army outside. The general only needs to raise his arms and call for them. How can these monsters and monsters hide away once the army arrives!"
"General!" Lieutenant Wang knelt on the ground ruthlessly, kowtowing and said, "You can save the green hills without worrying about having firewood. General, think twice and don't act out of anger!"
Yan Tao waved his hand and said, "Ling Shuang!"
The officer immediately cupped his fists and shouted: "The general is here!"
"The general still has a hundred personal guards. Now I will allocate half of them to you, and then with a hundred of your elite armored soldiers, rush to block the enemy's army while I wait for the general to reorganize his troops."
Ling Shuang said: "General, don't worry, I will definitely live up to my command, otherwise I will come to see you with my head raised!"
"Well, go ahead."
Soon Ling Shuang rushed forward with his men and horses. Yan Tao quickly helped the captain on the ground and said: "Quick, break out and prepare a car for me."
Captain...
