Chapter 69 Life and Death (Part 1)
There were sounds of fighting everywhere, frightened and confused cries, motionless bodies lying on the ground, and the pungent smell of blood. I don’t know when, but Ji Shu had become accustomed to such a scene.
Parts of the surrounding buildings had been ignited, crackling and burning. At this time, Ji Shu was calmly directing the soldiers to set up a defense line.
"Teacher, don't you allocate some people to put out the fire?"
Compared with Ji Shu, Han Zong seemed a little anxious. No, it is better to say that this is normal. Most people will not watch the place they are in gradually turning into a sea of fire and remain indifferent. If they let it go, the Han army will not even have to fight in.
, just setting fire to them can burn them alive.
But Ji Shu knew that Xu Shu would not do this.
"Don't worry, the rocket is just to create chaos and will stop soon. Xu Shu will not let the fire develop out of control."
ah?
How could Xu Shu do something beneficial to our army?
Han Zong looked at Ji Shu with wide eyes and made a cute sound. Perhaps in his eyes, he began to doubt whether his teacher was crazy?
Ji Shu smiled softly. It is true that if the entire prefect's mansion was burned down, almost all the Chu troops trapped here would die.
But Ji Shu may not die.
What if only Ji Shu was not burned to death?
What if Ji Shu is allowed to survive?
Xu Shu did not stay in Xiaopei just to bet on this eventuality. Every white-eared soldier who stayed here had already prepared to die.
Even a one in 10,000 possibility was enough for Xu Shu to give up the method of easily annihilating the Chu army and choose to sacrifice a larger force attack.
He must see Ji Shu's body with his own eyes! This is exactly the meaning of Xu Shu's stay here.
Ji Shu observed the battlefield with glaring eyes, analyzed the strength of the fire, and thought about how to use the fire to reduce the pressure on defense. Leaving aside strategies, when it comes to arranging troops and deploying troops, almost no one in the world can do it.
Surpassing Sun Ce, Hearing, Seeing and Staining, Ji Shu's level is by no means low.
Even so, all Ji Shu can do is try his best to delay time. Facing Xu Han's Bai'er elite soldiers, especially when the opponent's death will is clear, Ji Shu's current military strength is no matter what.
Unable to get out of trouble.
He has never been forced into such a desperate situation! Even if he fell into Zhuge Liang's plan in the Battle of Jingzhou, Ji Shu still had a choice, but now he is surrounded by enemies on all sides and can hardly fly!
Ji Shu never thought that people of Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang, and Sima Yi's level would one day go crazy and have to be buried with him when they die.
He had obviously thought about many possibilities, but he never thought that it would turn into this situation. There was something that he had missed, something that he could not see. Ji Shu thought about it unwillingly.
The first line of defense in the south was breached, and the Han army had already entered the mansion.
Maybe I will die here today.
Ji Shu thought like this, if he asked himself if he was afraid, the answer would be like a black hole.
Killing emotions, coldly ordering Zhou Tai to die, spreading rumors, giving up the bottom line for victory and displacing hundreds of thousands of people. Today's Ji Shu cannot say the word "fear of death".
But what is this unwillingness in my heart?
Sure enough, I still want to give him advice, and I want to see him ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, help him sweep across Yunei, unify the country, and build a brand new country! A country where there is no need for intrigues, separation between life and death, and is filled with death and smoke??????
Ah, after giving up so much, it is natural for me to be greedy like this! I am really despicable.
Ji Shu pulled out the decorative sword from his waist and glanced at the soldiers around him. His eyes were those of someone who had realized something, and he was pouring out his will to everyone.
"If the second line of defense is breached, we will all die here. Instead of trembling here, I am willing to fight together with you and shed the last drop of blood for Chu. All soldiers will follow me to kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Everyone was excited, and Ji Shu threw the last of his troops into the battle.
The fighting became more and more fierce. Even if the soldiers consciously protected Ji Shu, blood was already splattered on his armor.
"Teacher, there is a trace of chaos in the Han army at Ximen, and there is a gap."
At this time, Han Zong's whole body looked like he had been fished out of a pool of blood, with a sinister aura permeating his whole body.
"Could this be a trap?"
Ji Shu understood Han Zong's worries, but he made his decision in a flash.
"Let's go! Fight out of the west gate!"
If you stay here and hold on, you can certainly hold on for a longer time, but in the end it will be a dead end.
The fire in the Prefect's Mansion must have attracted the attention of other Lu Chu troops. This was one of the reasons why Ji Shu had previously focused on defense and allowed the fire to rage. If the chaos in the west was Xu Shu's trap, they would have died worse than expected.
It was just earlier; but if it was really caused by Hou Cheng or Lu Xun, this might be their only chance of survival.
Ji Shu had no time left to think. He didn't know if Xu Shu would have such a surplus, but the risk was worth taking.
"Walk!"
Han Zong said no more and took the lead in fighting a bloody path.
When Ji Shu and others rushed out of the prefect's mansion along the gap of the Han army, there were only more than 400 soldiers left around them.
In a corner of the street outside the prefect's mansion, two armies were fighting.
"It's Boyan!"
Han Zong pointed to a person in the distance and said in surprise. Even though there were still countless Han troops coming as far as his eyes could see, everyone was excited by this.
"Kill over and join the brothers!"
