Six hundred and ninety second chapter Qi County set up an ambush
"Second brother," Kan Ling screamed when he saw Wang Xiongxu's head being chopped off. Then, his eyes turned red and he opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood. He and Wang Xiongxu Brothers for many years, they have fought side by side on the battlefield, but now they are watching Wang Xiongshu's tragic death. How can he not be sad and painful? Kan Ling immediately looked at the white-faced young general on the top of the city and shouted angrily: "Boy, Do you dare to tell me your name?"
"Hmph, hang this head on the city wall," the white-faced young general snorted coldly, bent down and picked up Wang Xiongshu's head, threw it to the Xia Army soldiers behind him, and shouted: "You can do it, sir." Don’t change your name, don’t change your surname, this is what Xu Shiji of Wagangzhai did,”
This white-faced young general was indeed Xu Shiji, the most powerful general in Wagang Village. Zhai Rang was shot to death at the foot of Wagang Mountain, and Shan Xiongxin also died tragically in Wagang Mountain. In the end, Xu Shiji and Bing Yuanzhen protected Zhai Rang's body and insisted on After breaking out of the siege and burying Zhai Rang, Xu Shiji returned to his master again and devoted himself to practicing martial arts. He just wanted to practice martial arts well and avenge Zhai Rang and Shan Xiongxin. After these days of hardship, After practicing, Xu Shiji's Kung Fu has improved greatly, and according to Xu Shiji's master, Xu Shiji's strength is now definitely comparable to the disciples of Ziyun Temple. Xu Shiji just came out of the master's sect.
As soon as Xu Shiji came out, he did not directly go to Li Jing and others to seek revenge. Instead, he went to Li Mi first. The arrow that shot Zhai Rang to death at the foot of Wagang Mountain was not yet clear whether it was shot by Wang Bodang, but this incident It was really not Li Mi's fault. Li Mi gave a lot of explanations and finally convinced Xu Shiji to stay and join Li Shimin. Xu Shiji came here with Li Mi this time, with the purpose of preventing Wan He from defeating Dou Jiande and Gao Kaidao. The original purpose of bringing Xu Shiji here was to rely on Xu Shiji to deal with Li Jing. Unexpectedly, Li Jing did not come, but instead he ran into the top master of the Jianghuai Army, Kan Ling, and the top general Wang Xiongxi.
Xu Shiji and Kan Ling, Wang Xiongxi have no grudges, but Xu Shiji hates Wan He deeply. Anyone who is in alliance with Wan He is his enemy. Because of this, after defeating Wang Xiongxi, Xu Shiji Without any mercy, Wang Xiongxan was directly beheaded.
Hearing Xu Shiji announce his name, Kan Ling gritted his teeth with hatred. He almost wanted to rush forward to fight Xu Shiji and avenge Wang Xiongshu. However, his reason still allowed Kan Ling to maintain his final calm. As the commander-in-chief of the army, You must not act on impulse, and the army must have a general guarding the rear, so Kan Ling glared at Xu Shiji fiercely, and he had already made up his mind. After conquering Qi County, he must capture Xu Shiji alive and cut him to death with a thousand knives. Immediately, Kan Ling pulled out the sword in his hand, pointed towards the city, and shouted: "Kill, kill, kill him on the city, kill him without leaving a trace,"
Kan Ling had already given out a heavy reward before, but now that Kan Ling shouted, the Jianghuai Army roared and charged towards the city wall of Qi County. The soldiers of the Jianghuai Army were already known for being fierce and good at fighting, although this time Du Fu Wei Wei's trump card army did not recruit troops, but these ordinary Jianghuai troops were enough to show their heroic fighting qualities. There were only less than a few thousand Xia army soldiers defending on the top of the city, so naturally they could not stop them. After the Jianghuai Army's attack, a large number of Jianghuai Army soldiers rushed to the top of the city and started a hand-to-hand battle with the Xia Army.
On the top of the city, Xu Shiji, who had just killed Wang Xiongxi, waved the sword in his hand. Wherever the sword light struck, the soldiers of the Jianghuai Army were cut into two pieces by the sword light. However, Xu Shiji alone could not do it with his own strength. To prevent the Jianghuai Army from taking over the city, Xu Shiji chopped off the head of a Jianghuai Army soldier with one sword, and at the same time turned around and shouted: "Mi Gong, you can do it now,"
Not far behind Xu Shiji, under the protection of Wang Bodang, Li Mi and Song Zhengben smiled at each other and nodded at the same time. Then Li Mi reached out and patted Wang Bodang on the shoulder, and Wang Bodang immediately He pulled out a special arrow directly from the quiver on his back, bent the bow and nocked the arrow, and shot it into the sky. Suddenly, the arrow drew an arc in the air, and at the same time made a sharp sound. The howling sound spread directly throughout the entire battlefield.
A moment after the sound of arrows, a cry of killing came from the north and south of the battlefield at the same time. Hearing the cry of killing, Kan Ling's face suddenly changed, and he turned his head suddenly, looking towards the north and south. I saw an army appear from the north and south, each numbering at least 5,000 people.
The sudden appearance of these two armies, combined with the sound of arrows ringing from the top of the city, Kan Ling knew that they were enemies rather than friends even if he thought with his toes. Immediately, Kan Ling couldn't help but exclaimed: "No! We have fallen into the enemy's trick, retreat quickly, retreat quickly." Immediately, Kan Ling waved his sword and issued an order to the Jianghuai Army, instructing them to retreat. If Wang Xiongxi died in the battle at the head of Qijun City, Kan Ling would He could still go back and explain to Du Fuwei, but if more than 20,000 Jianghuai troops were left here, then Kan Ling would really have no shame in going back to see Du Fuwei.
And at the same time as Kan Ling issued the order, he heard the closed city gate of Qijun City in front of him slowly open with a creaking sound, and nearly five thousand troops rushed out from inside, cooperating with the soldiers and horses from the north and south, and marched towards the city together. The Jianghuai Army was engaged in a pincer attack. Although Kan Ling had already issued an order to retreat, the army that had been attacking with all its strength before could not be said to be able to retreat. At least, those Jianghuai Army who had already climbed to the top of the city had no way out. But they retreated, but the Jianghuai Army is worthy of being a rare warrior in the world. When they knew there was no way to retreat, these Jianghuai Army soldiers had no idea of surrender. They turned around, shouted angrily and charged towards the enemy. , to make a last stand with the enemy.
Facing the desperate fight of these Jianghuai Army soldiers, the Xia Army on the top of the city was also caught off guard. Even Xu Shiji was almost hit several times, but finally killed all these Jianghuai Army soldiers. Li Mi and others also came towards the city. Looking outside the city, I saw that the battle outside the city was coming to an end. Kan Ling had withdrawn with more than 10,000 Jianghuai troops, and the remaining Jianghuai troops were surrounded by three groups of troops. , they were all killed, and just like the city, no one surrendered.
Seeing the corpses scattered on the battlefield, Song Zhengben couldn't help but let out a sigh and said: "I have followed Duke Donghai and King Xia on the battlefield for many years, and I have seen many fierce armies, but when it comes to soldiers who are not afraid of death, they must be The Jianghuai Army ranks first. It is not unreasonable for Du Fuwei to occupy Jianghuai for many years and become the dominant force in Jianghuai. It is indeed a headache to fight against such an enemy."
Hearing Song Zhengben's sigh, Li Mi next to him also nodded slightly in agreement. Looking at the Jianghuai Army soldiers who died on the battlefield, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes. If such soldiers could join their own Pushan Gong camp, what would happen? How great, but Xu Shiji didn't care about these things at all. What he cared about was when he could kill Wan He and avenge Zhai Rang. Xu Shiji immediately swung his sword, and in the blink of an eye, he shook off the blood stains on the sword. He was clean, then sheathed his sword, saluted Li Mi with a fist, and said, "Mr. Mi, I'm going to retreat first." After saying that, Xu Shiji walked down the city with an indifferent expression.
Seeing Xu Shiji's attitude, Li Mi couldn't help but smile, and showed a somewhat embarrassed smile to Song Zhengben. He then waved and summoned a group of generals who were cleaning the battlefield outside the city, and waited for those generals to walk up to the city. The two generals who took the lead were Bing Yuanzhen, an old member of Wagangzhai who joined Li Mi with Xu Shiji, and Wang Fubao, a general under Dou Jiande. The two walked up to Li Mi and Song Zhengben, and at the same time cupped their fists and saluted. After passing these In the face of twists and turns, both Bing Yuanzhen and Wang Fubao were much calmer than before, especially Wang Fubao. After several defeats, Wang Fubao was not as irritable as before, and he looked more like a general than before.
After saluting, Bing Yuanzhen first asked Li Mi: "Mi Gong, where has Mao Gong gone?"
Bing Yuanzhen directly asked about Xu Shiji's whereabouts as soon as he came up, which made Li Mi feel a little unhappy. In his opinion, whether it was Xu Shiji or Bing Yuanzhen, their hearts were still towards the former Zhai Rang, and they were not really loyal to him at all. , but although he felt unhappy, Li Mi had no one available to him now, so he couldn't do anything to Bing Yuanzhen. He could only smile and said to Bing Yuanzhen: "Mao Gong just went through a big battle and was a little tired, so first Go down and rest,"
"Oh," after hearing Li Mi's answer, Bing Yuanzhen didn't know what he was thinking, and then he clasped his fists at Li Mi and said, "In that case, I'll go down and rest first, so I won't disturb Mr. Mi and Mr. Song's discussion. ,"
After Bing Yuanzhen finished speaking, he turned around and walked down the city without waiting for Li Mi's answer, leaving only Li Mi with a livid face. On the other side, Song Zhengben looked at Li Mi with some amazement. When Bing Yuanzhen After leaving, Song Zhengben turned to Wang Fubao with a smile and said with a smile: "General Wang, thank you for your hard work this time. You can successfully repel the Jianghuai Army. For King Xia, this plan is already a success. More than half of it,”
Hearing Song Zhengben's praise, Wang Fubao was not happy at all. Instead, he frowned and said to Song Zhengben: "Sir Song, let's not delay any longer. Let's go to the plain quickly to save King Xia. King Xia is right next to him. I really can’t worry about hiring so many people,”
"Haha," Song Zhengben couldn't help laughing after hearing Wang Fubao's words. He glanced at Wang Fubao with a smile, a look of confidence on his face, and a bright light in his eyes, and then said: " General Wang, you don’t have to worry. There is no problem with King Xia. I have already made arrangements. General, just wait for the good news."
