Chapter 179 Retracting troops
Shi Tingyu's sword angle was tricky and was facing Zhou Shixiang's neck, forcing Zhou Shixiang to go sideways to avoid it, otherwise he would have to be in a different position.
Shi Tingyu's sword fell into nothing, and another sword was made by the backhand. This sword was facing Zhou Shixiang's chest. The two were only about a foot away. Seeing that Zhou Shixiang was inseparable, they saw something blocking in front of Shi Tingyu's long sword out of thin air. In a flash, they were cut in half by the long sword, but it was the spear in Zhou Shixiang's hand.
The broken spear hit the ground heavily. Shi Tingyu's face was ferocious and he didn't say anything. He raised his sword again to see what the thief in front of him should use to block this time!
Just as I was raising the knife, I heard a scream in my ears, and I was suspicious. Before I could react, there was a pain in my throat. Then I stood there as if I was struck by lightning.
"this..."
Shi Tingyu opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhou Shixiang in disbelief, who was still gasping for breath in front of him. The latter held the long pole with a broken spear in his hands.
"Gulugulu..."
A sound of bubbles came from his throat. Shi Tingyu instinctively closed his mouth, but the blood that flowed from the depths of his throat instantly made his mouth swollen. With a "wow", a mouthful of blood was spurted out.
"grown ups!"
The soldiers exclaimed.
"Thousand Houses!"
The Taiping Army also shouted.
"Well!"
With another loud roar from Zhou Shixiang, the broken spear body pierced out of Shi Tingyu's throat, and then pulled it out fiercely.
The wooden handle of the spear cut by a long knife exposed the sharp-cut wooden tip, and blood was flowing downwards drop by drop.
"Nan...man...zi..."
Shi Tingyu's unwilling body shook, and glanced back and forth on Zhou Shixiang with a disgusting look. Finally, the light in front of him became more and more blurred.
"thump!"
Shi Tingyu, who fell to the ground, made a heavy sound, his body twitched, and his throat kept making "puff" sounds like a piss bubble. After several struggles, the Han army's blue flag leader finally stopped his heartbeat, but those eyes were still wide open. He still died with his eyes open.
"The thief general is dead, and you still won't fight to kill the thief!"
Zhou Shi, who was still beating in his heart, did not care about the blessing, and shouted at the Taiping Army who were still standing in a daze. Then he thrust half of his spear at the Qing army, picked up the long sword from Shi Tingyu's hand and rushed towards the Qing soldiers.
"Kill the Tartars, kill the Tartars!"
The brave scene of Zhou Shixiang boosted the morale of the Taiping soldiers, and they were no longer timid. They roared at the scared soldiers of the Shang family.
Before the two personal soldiers who followed Shi Tingyu Shangcheng could react from the death of the general, they were chopped down to the ground by Zhou Shixiang and his two personal guards who rushed up. Seeing this, the remaining soldiers involuntarily wanted to retreat. But behind was the city wall, so there was no way for them to retreat.
"Protect thousands of households!"
On the other side, Ge Zheng found that Zhou Shixiang had handed over the Qing soldiers in close contact, and couldn't help but exclaim to lead the troops to come.
"Turn the Tartars down, drive them down!"
"Brothers, kill the Tartars!"
More and more Taiping troops came to reinforce from both sides, and the absolute advantage of force made the remaining five Shang family soldiers unable to resist. In a flash, they were stabbed by the Taiping Army that rushed up. Yipeng even shouted and jumped directly from the city, which made the Qing army below despair.
"Qianhu, are you injured?! Come on, come on!"
After Ge Zheng arrived, he annihilated all the Qing soldiers, and found that Zhou Shixiang had suddenly sat down against the city wall. When he stepped forward, he saw that Zhou Shixiang's right chest had been cut a lot, and blood was coming out along the wound. In horror, Ge Zheng quickly tore off a strip of cloth from his cuff to bandage it for Zhou Shixiang, and then called for someone to carry Zhou Shixiang down the city to treat it.
"I'm not in the way, my skin is hurt. If you can't kill me, you don't have to worry about me, and continue to kill the enemy with your brothers!"
Zhou Shixiang struggled to signal Ge Zheng to help him up, and then told him not to care about him, and immediately led people to block the gap to prevent the Qing army from coming to the city again.
I don’t know if it was because of his excessive fatigue or excessive blood loss, Zhou Shixiang’s face was pale and he was not good at standing. He shook several times in succession. Seeing him like this, Ge Zheng dared not ask him. He would not allow Zhou Shixiang to say too much and ordered a few soldiers to quickly put him down and treat him.
Zhou Shixiang shouted a few times and didn't want to go down the city, but the more he shouted, he became weaker. In addition, the situation in the city had stabilized again, so he stopped resisting and allowed the soldiers to put him down. He also knew that it would be impossible to stay in the city after he was injured. Instead, he distracted his subordinates for him and did not go down to the city.
Before going down, Zhou Shixiang reminded Ge Zheng a few more words, and repeatedly told Jiang He and others who rushed over after hearing the news, so he went down to the city unwillingly.
Before, he didn't know that after going down the city, Zhou Shixiang suddenly shuddered and broke out in a cold sweat. If the enemy general hadn't slowed down, he would have become his dead soul. In addition, he was still calm. At that time, if he didn't bravely move forward, the word "death" would be the word "death" after the city was broken. Since that's the case, what else can I say? If a person dies and birds face the sky, they will die for thousands of years. Fortunately, God was not completely blind and left him with his life.
.............
Shi Tingyu's death promptly resolved the crisis in the city. Under the command of Ge Zheng, Jiang He and others, the Taiping Army blocked the gap again and stabilized the defense line on the city, so that the Qing army could no longer climb to the top of the city.
In the Qianli Miles Miles, Shang Kexi could see clearly. Although the figure of Taiping Army on the city made people angry, he could not help but force himself to calm down.
The Qing army that was sieging the city was completely lost. After Shi Tingyu's death, both the flag soldiers, the camp soldiers, or the brave soldiers of the family began to work and work. Few Qing soldiers were still climbing up the city with no time.
Qin Guocheng had no intention of continuing to force his subordinates to attack the city. For the first time, he turned his sight to the camp behind him.
"Father, let's withdraw your troops!"
"Prince, stop the troops!"
With the second advice from his son and his confidants, Shang Kexi finally sighed: "Send the order and withdraw the troops."
After the sound of Mingjin withdrawing the troops, the Qing soldiers siege were relieved. Qin Guocheng even breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly commanded the Qing army under the city to retreat. Previously, Lin Shanzhi was still orderly when he commanded the green camp to retreat, but now the Qing army was in chaos, one by one, one by one, and they rushed back from the city, pushing me to the point of being in a mess.
