Chapter 52 The Last Moment

After sunset, the breeze blows through the mountains and forests, through the fields, and through the towns, blowing away the heat in the air, and there is a trace of coolness between the heavens and the earth.

The city of Huaizhou had fallen into chaos, and the East Vietnamese troops entered the city from the east, west, and north directions, carrying the madness of the victors, rushing towards the city, killing people when they saw them, and robbing valuable things when they saw them.

There was not much resistance in the city, and the scattered soldiers defending the city, as well as ordinary people, became the targets of the East Vietnamese army.

If the siege battle at the beginning was to open the gates of hell, then Huaizhou City at this time is hell.

Next to the stone bridge in the west of the city, Zhao Yi, who was covered in blood, was still standing with a knife, the face that had been covered with blood, only the eyes were bright and clear, and the light emitted by the eyes was fierce and hideous, stubborn and unyielding.

Zhao Yi's side was full of corpses and broken shields of Dongyue soldiers, and all the shield armoured troops in Dongyue were killed under Zhao Yi's armor-piercing knife, including two martial arts masters who usually had a high status in the minds of soldiers.

Zhao Yi also paid a lot of price for this, the martial arts true qi stored in the acupoints of the whole body had been depleted, and the "clear stream" provided by the gray mist in the sea of qi could no longer keep up with the rapid consumption, and Zhao Yi's whole person had already revealed the appearance of the end of a strong crossbow.

The attacking East Vietnamese soldiers were all standing ten steps away from Zhao Yi, and no one took another step forward, staring at Zhao Yi's eyes with great fear.

The chief general of the East Vietnamese Army, the general surnamed Zhao, was also shocked by the shocking scene in front of him, he has been in the army for decades, how has he ever seen such a character, not to say how powerful Zhao Yi is, more powerful and domineering than Zhao Yi, he has also seen it on the battlefield.

But it was the first time he had seen such a stubborn boy who would not retreat.

The general surnamed Zhao, who was surrounded by soldiers and generals, shouted loudly on the horse thirty steps away from Zhao Yi: "The junior general of the Chu army, this general respects you with iron bones, you are a man, if you can lay down your arms and surrender, I will protect you from death, and recommend you to the prince after returning to Beijing." ”

A gust of wind blew, blowing Zhao Yi's messy hair, Zhao Yi's eyes that were already red, through the hair covering his eyes, stared at the chief general of the East Vietnamese Army thirty steps away, and at the same time slowly raised the armor-piercing knife in his hand, pointing at the chief general of the East Vietnamese Army.

Although it is the end of the strong crossbow, the momentum is undiminished.

The general surnamed Zhao looked at the young general who was not very strong, and his heart was inexplicably sour, he sighed secretly, and then shouted loudly: "Since you want to be a hero, then I will give you a ride as a hero." ”

After speaking, the general surnamed Zhao pulled out the sword at his waist, pointed forward, and shouted: "Spear army, up!"

The swords-wielding East Vietnamese soldiers scattered one after another, making way in the middle of the street, and a group of soldiers wearing heavy armor and covered helmets and armed with sharp spears slowly stepped forward.

This is a well-known spear army in the East Vietnamese Army, especially famous for its strength and fighting.

The Chu troops on the east bank of the stone bridge all rushed forward with swords, and the armor-breaking knife in Zhao Yi's hand was raised upward, shouting: "Retreat!"

There was a momentum that spread out, and the Chu troops who were running forward with swords all stopped in front of the stone bridge.

The seven-foot men were already full of tears.

Zhao Yi took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly, the gray mist in the Qi Sea Acupoint rotated much faster than usual, and streams of "clear streams" overflowed from it, flowing into the meridians and acupoints around his body, Zhao Yi suddenly felt that his strength had recovered a little.

When the Dongyue spear army was twenty paces away from Zhao Yi, they all moved forward with spears in both hands, and their steps began to speed up.

Zhao Yi's right foot took a step back, and the whole person stood in a lunge, holding the knife in both hands and slowly raising it above his head, his eyes staring closely ahead.

When the Dongyue spear army was only ten steps away from him, Zhao Yi took a sharp breath, poured all the remaining qi around him into his arms, and then slashed forward, a powerful knife was like a dragon rolling the ground, rolling forward with lightning speed, and like a tiger coming down the mountain, with its fangs, dancing its front paws, rushing forward.

The 100 spearmen who rushed towards them, after the soldiers running in front were hit by the sword, they were suddenly split apart and scattered, and the soldiers behind were hit by the knife, and their bodies flew into the soldiers behind them, and then they collided layer by layer, and they were all knocked out of their mouths and spit blood, and flew backwards.

Of the hundred spearmen, two-thirds of them died under Zhao Yi's sword.

This domineering knife also exhausted all of Zhao Yi's strength, and he stood in front of him with the armor-piercing knife, pressing his hands on the handle of the knife to support his body.

This time, he did his best, and he couldn't swing the armor-piercing knife anymore.

Zhao Yi grinned, showing a smile without any scruples, and felt a sense of relief in his heart.

He wondered if he died, who in the world would grieve for him?

That uncle will feel sorry for this, but I don't know if it will be sad, and his future father-in-law should be the same, right?

The wife who didn't pass through the door would certainly not be sad, and maybe she would feel relieved because of it.

What about Lu Qingxin? Will she be happy that she finally doesn't have to keep that promise?

There are also several good friends I met on the Northwest Road, Cui Shusheng, Jiang Wenyu, and Xi Lin, and their vivid faces appeared in Zhao Yi's mind.

They would be sad if they knew they were dead, right?

Zhao Yi's heart was excited, and a mouthful of blood gushed up his throat, and then spurted out.

The Chu army on the east bank of the stone bridge all looked sad and angry, and tears flowed down their faces, and the East Vietnamese army opposite Zhao Yi was also solemn, and their faces did not show joy.

Zhao Yi looked up at the East Vietnamese Army and grinned, "Come on!"

Zhao Yi's words seemed to be the order of the East Vietnamese Army, and a group of soldiers rushed forward with their swords and rushed towards Zhao Yi without receiving the order of the commander-in-chief.

The Chu army on the east bank of the stone bridge didn't know who shouted: "Swear to defend the general to the death!"

Then more than 200 Chu troops rushed across the stone bridge, bravely moved forward, and formed a human wall in front of Zhao Yi to resist the charging of the Dongyue army.

Every Chu soldier died with regret when he could no longer swing the sword in his hand after he fell to the ground after being hit many times.

Zhao Yi held the knife in both hands, quietly watching the scene in front of him, still grinning.

Sure enough, the brotherhood on the battlefield is the most reliable, that is, they don't know each other's names, but they can still fight each other.

At this time, on the street on the east bank of the deep ditch, there were bursts of horses' hooves, and the next moment, a group of Chu cavalry shouted and rushed over, the number was about five hundred, and the leaders were Wei Tian and Jiang Yong.

This group of cavalry rushed across the stone bridge, like a giant arrow off the string into the East Vietnamese army, killing the East Vietnamese army by surprise, the East Vietnamese army in the west of the city under Zhao Yi's divine might, already a little shaken by the military heart, and then by the sudden killing of the cavalry, they all turned around and began to flee for their lives.

The general surnamed Zhao, led by several captains, also retreated to the west gate in a hurry.

After killing and retreating the East Vietnamese army, Wei Tian, who was the leader, turned over and dismounted, walked in front of Zhao Yi, and saw that he was covered in blood, so he reached out to pull him, who knew that when he touched it, Zhao Yi fell to the side.

Wei Tian's eyes were quick, and he picked up Zhao Yi with one hand, his dark face full of blood was shocked, and he asked eagerly, "How are you?"

Zhao Yi endured the severe pain all over his body and smiled, and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have the strength to stand firm." ”

After saying this, he closed his eyes and passed out.

Wei Tian picked up Zhao Yi with both hands and shouted loudly: "All get on the horse and kill out!"

At this time, two men dressed as soldiers suddenly appeared in front of Wei Tian, and one of them took out a golden token.

Wei Tian lost his voice and said: "King Chu Order!"

The man nodded, put away the token, and said, "General Wei, please hand over the prince to his subordinates, and let his subordinates escort the prince back to Junshan." ”

"Shizi?" Wei Tian was shocked, the young man in his arms turned out to be Shizi.

The man said: "General Wei, please rest assured, we are sent by the prince to secretly protect the prince, please hand over the prince to us, you and the rest of the soldiers hurry up to break through." ”

Wei Tian handed Zhao Yi in his arms to a person in front of him, and the person reached out to hug Zhao Yi, and without hesitation, he turned around and jumped up, lightly touched on a roof, and then flew away quickly like two flying eagles.

After Wei Tian came to his senses, he immediately understood that these two people dressed as soldiers must be the "witch shadows" under Master Du.

Wei Tian didn't hesitate any longer, turned over his horse, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and waved: "Brothers, follow me out of the city!"

The five hundred Chu troops were united in hatred of the enemy, and their morale was high, Wei Tian took the lead, Jiang Yong followed, and the five hundred cavalry galloped towards the west gate like a giant arrow.
