"Okay, okay, let's all go!" He Qizhou waved his hand while looking at Qi Jun who seemed to be a little exhausted. He took the lead and flew to the last earth wall. Because the last earth wall was still forty feet away, with a tornado in the middle.
It was a small turn, so there was no need to worry about the Zhou army coming up to chase and shoot. Besides, after three rounds of archery, the Zhou army would definitely send the shield soldiers first.
The sentry commander didn't wake up until He Qizhou ran ten feet away. Just now, He Qizhou waved away a bundle of Zhou arrows carrying strong winds, which really shocked him and several of his men who witnessed it.
"Sir, run quickly." Some soldiers had already started running.
"Run, run, we can evacuate, run quickly!" The sentry commander finally showed off his special skills, and soon surpassed most of the soldiers, heading towards the last earth wall. If you climb over there, your life will be saved! Thank God
!
"Listen up, you all. As long as you hear the sound of footsteps and listen to my orders to shoot arrows, you can retreat like them after shooting. If anyone shoots randomly or indiscriminately and escapes first, I will report it to the general as a deserter."
." He Qizhou, who was the first to run to the third earth wall, said to the soldiers behind the wall.
The fifty people behind the third wall suddenly started to make a noise, because some of the group in front climbed quickly and had already begun to retreat on horseback, and no one was willing to act as a backer. The sentry commander had just climbed over the earth wall,
He yelled angrily: "Listen to this lord, anyone who dares to say no will be punished by military law!" Then he turned around and bowed and smiled sarcastically at Qi Zhou: "Sir, then, I will take the first step."
"Let's go." He Qizhou waved to the sentry commander, and then continued to say to the fifty people behind the third earth barrier: "Don't worry, none of you will die if you listen to me!"
"Listen to him, I'm sure everything will be fine -" the whistle commander who had already galloped on his horse finally shouted again.
…
"Sir, there is no one behind the wall, but there is a bend in front, and the situation in the valley cannot be seen clearly!" A man in heavy armor said while lying on the wall.
Huyan Lookout said with red eyes: "Come here, quietly go over and see what's behind the corner? The others are digging through this earth wall with all their strength, so hurry up!"
"Thirty feet away, not far from the exit, there is a twenty-foot-wide earth wall. It is not as high as these two walls. It must have been erected hastily!" the explorer said after returning.
After a stick of incense, the second earth wall was opened again. Hu Yan took a deep breath and said: "The shield bearers and armored soldiers clear the way, the engineers are in the middle, and the archers ride over to cover!"
…
"My lord, there seems to be footsteps!"
"Wait a minute." Looking at the Qi troops who were still aggrieved, He Qi said, "Do you know why I let them go first? Because they have sacrificed more than a dozen people, and they fought bravely! You are
Not a soldier? Are you a Qi Ren? Are you a man? If so, do as I say! After I climb over the wall, you start shooting at the corner. You can stagger each other for some time, but don't stop, don't let
The opponent's archer turns around until he shoots the last arrow! Do you understand? Don't nod and speak!"
"I understand!" A few bloody people loudly replied, and then everyone shouted.
…
"There are defenders behind the wall!" The shield soldier who had already turned the corner and rushed to the front reminded the people behind.
"It seems like someone has come in. Be careful, everyone!"
"how many people?"
"One, only one, be careful, there is an arrow!" The formation of the shield soldiers became more dense, still moving forward slowly, while the heavy armor soldiers followed them, and the engineers lowered their bodies to avoid their heads.
The flying arrows whizzed up. The cavalrymen who were about to turn in had to stop. The opponent was unable to get past such a volley.
"ah--"
"Be careful, someone is rushing into the formation!"
"Draw your sword to meet the enemy——"
"ah--"
"Heavy armor soldiers come quickly——"
After He Qizhou turned over and jumped back into the wall, there was a "whooshing" sound of arrows above his head, then he took a step forward and kicked a shield soldier, as well as the heavy armored soldiers and engineers behind him, flying out, and then
The straight sword in his hand danced wildly, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, harvesting the lives of Zhou Jun unscrupulously!
The Zhou army was in chaos. Some people surrounded them with shields, while others abandoned their shields and picked up swords. Those heavy armors also wanted to squeeze through the crowd and use heavy weapons to hit this extremely arrogant Qi man. The engineers held the tools in their hands.
On guard at the perimeter, He Qizhou was surrounded by more than a hundred people in an instant!
"General, we can't get through. Look at this rain of arrows. At least fifty people are firing volleys. The place is too small! If you rush out now, you will die!" shouted the archer on the horse.
"Where is the commander of the guard camp?" Hu Yan shouted.
"exist!"
"Bring twenty people over personally and bring that guy's head to see me!"
"yes!"
"General, the second princess sent someone to ask, where are we?"
"Where is she?"
"It's less than twenty miles from here! We've been delayed here for too long!"
"Ten more people from the guard camp will come up!"
…
"Sir, Commander Wen died in battle!"
"All guards, listen to the order and follow me to kill this beast!" Huyan is just a member of the Five Meridians, with a force of thousands of households, and less than a hundred personal guards under his command. If he hadn't been injured, he would have gone into battle himself, but now that Helian is approaching, he can't break it anymore
If there is no obstacle, it is really impossible to save the head on the neck, so I have to go into battle even if I die.
"Sir, there are fewer arrows, no, they are gone!"
"Where's our shooter? Hurry up -" Hu Yan, who was halfway there, shouted excitedly, not having to fight by himself for the time being.
…
Fifty archers and nearly two thousand arrows shot about two cups of tea. He Qizhou also fought for two cups of tea. At first, it was like cutting grass with a sharp blade;
After the heavy armor was added, it became much more difficult. Fortunately, the heavy armor moved slowly. After being snatched by the heavy hammer, he killed several people with the hammer, and the pressure was relieved again;
Then nearly thirty masters joined the battle group. Except for one person with five meridians, most of them had two or three meridians, and their strength was close to that of Habayashi Wei!
Now it was a deadly battle. The hammer flew away, the straight knife was discounted, and I snatched the opponent's blade and then hit him! After receiving a knife on his leg, he finally killed the five-meridian man with one knife, and then the sound of arrows above his head stopped.
, and then the sound of horse hooves sounded around the corner!
He Qizhou knew that he could only do so much. He who had been fighting on the ground suddenly jumped up and touched several of the opponent's shields with his toes. Amidst the sound of Zhou Qi's bowstring, he flew out of the wall, only to see the fifty
Everyone had their backs bowed and swords drawn in their hands, and no one left.
"Run quickly, what are you waiting for?" He Qizhou shouted, taking the lead and running towards the mount outside the valley! He looked like a bloody man, his coat was already in tatters, and almost all of the unicorn armor was exposed, except for the color.
It has already changed from jet black to bright red!
Those shooters who were originally inspired by He Qizhou's heroic spirit woke up from their dreams. He didn't even fight anymore. How can we fight? They all ran to their mounts...
"General, their men have all fled on horseback..." The cry of the cavalry came from the top of the mountain.
"Hurry up and clear the passage, break through the wall and pursue us! Let the people on the top of the mountain go back the way they came, and follow them quickly." Hu Yan's cry was laced with tears.
"Twelve people from the Guards Battalion were killed and four were seriously injured. Commander Wen was killed in action. Sixty-four others were killed and thirty-seven were seriously injured. Our army shot and killed seventeen Qi soldiers." Soldiers who had statistics on the results of the battle rode up to catch up.
Reporting.
"I got it." Huyan Wangtai, who was sitting on the horse and galloping, was heartbroken. This was the price of passing that pass. More than half of these people were killed or injured by one person. What's even more tragic is that they were completely blocked by that pass.
It lasted for an hour! Helian Changying's army was less than ten miles away from him, and he could even see his team from a high place. Alas...he could only fight to the death below the city!
…
At the dawn of dawn, at the foot of Yuguan City, more than a thousand people were busy setting up horses and digging trenches outside the city. There was a flow of people going up and down the city, either carrying huge trees or carrying stones. Jiang Shuo rode directly into the city.
, asked the soldiers at the city gate where Bao An was, and went straight to Bao An's mansion regardless of not sleeping for two nights.
"Asshole! What's going on? Who is it? I just slept for an hour..." After being woken up by his subordinate, Bao An cursed in his quilt.
"It's me! I haven't slept for two days and two nights!" Jiang Shuo pushed away the two guards who were blocking him and shouted: "The army of the Northern Zhou Dynasty will be here in half a day, you still have fucking thoughts
sleep?"
"Are you here? Aren't you being watched by Magistrate Liu? Even if you kill the enemy, you still have to keep your spirits up." Bao An looked like a commander from behind, but he was still extremely scared to face this prince and son.
"Get up quickly, call your lieutenants, all the generals, and the sentry commander. We still have half a day to set up defenses!"
"Okay, wait for me at the military tent in half an hour."
"Wait a minute, it's just in the living room of your official residence. I'll let people know as much as possible on my way into the city. I'll start the meeting on time after a stick of incense!"
"Okay, okay! Come here, find a way to summon all the officers above the sentinel commander." Bao An yawned, stood up and dressed, with an unhappy look on his face.
"Everyone, let me first talk about the situation in the past two days." Jiang Shuo saw Bao An sitting down. People still came in from time to time in the living room where more than ten people were already sitting. Without waiting for everyone to arrive, Jiang Shuo said, "This time Zhou
The army came with 15,000 cavalry, which should be the Qingcheng garrison, 500 elite armored infantry, and about 200 Huotang masters. Helian Changying personally commanded the army, Wu Shi and Huotang master Shen Ting
Gu is accompanying us, and our target is directly at Yuzhou! If we cannot keep them out of Yuguan, let alone the spring offensive, the entire offensive and defensive momentum may be reversed!"
All the generals in the hall were silent. Jiang Shuo drank hurriedly to moisten his throat that was about to smoke, and continued:
"Most of the people in Zhenbeiguan were brought back, and those who didn't come were all killed. I kept blocking the Zhou army along the way, but the most optimistic estimate is that the Zhou army's vanguard of about two thousand people will also come in the afternoon.
Arrival. The Xiao family’s army must not be able to wait any longer. I have already sent people to chase Zhang Wei’s 30,000 men. They are expected to come back in three days, so we must hold on for three days! General Bao, tell us about the current deployment of defenses.
