Chapter 451: General Zhao Bing
After deciding to withdraw, Du Zezhi immediately had a plan, and he decided to go north from Qingshankou to the east of Xifengkou, and make a detour to Karaqin to join the Qing court.
But on the battlefield, retreat is a very dangerous thing, and the slightest carelessness will lead to a rout.
So Du Zezhi did not retreat directly to the north, but ordered the whole army to turn eastward and attack Lu Longwei on the bank of the Long River......
Geng Dang was leading a group of Lu Long guards to attack forward, when he suddenly saw the whole army on the opposite side attacking him, and he was shocked!
Although he was not afraid of death, he also knew that the soldiers he led could not stop the opponent's round of charge. If his side collapses, it will be a huge blow to all friendly soldiers.
But when they met on a narrow road, there was no other way for a while, so Geng Dang had to grit his teeth and shouted: "Kill ......"
~~
Zhang Yongnian was also taken aback when he saw Du Zezhi turn to the east, and hurriedly commanded the cavalry to stop him.
He knew that Du Zezhi might be a feint, but at this time, the battle was at the most critical juncture, and Lu Longwei could not collapse.
As long as Lu Longwei collapses, Du Zezhi will turn around and give the Jizhen soldiers an all-out blow, and the Jizhen soldiers who have been exhausted will inevitably be defeated soon.
After running for most of the night, the cavalry stepped on their mounts and were tired, and Zhang Yongnian had to keep shouting and boosting morale.
The current situation is that whoever can hold out a little longer will be able to achieve the final victory.
Then, Zhang Yongnian saw five hundred cavalry split out of Du Zezhi's army array and rushed towards his side.
The two sides slashed and slashed for a while, and Zhang Yongnian saw that the enemy no longer sent more manpower, so he faintly sensed that something was wrong.
When he turned his head again, he saw that most of Du Zezhi's troops had quickly turned around and quickly retreated north.
"They want to escape! Stop them! ”
~~
Du Zezhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Leaving behind 500 cavalry to stop the opponent's cavalry, it will be difficult for the foot soldiers of the Chu army to catch up with them......
Suddenly, a sharp arrow shot at him and suddenly nailed it to a personal guard behind him!
"Traitor! Don't want to go! ”
Du Zezhi turned his head and squinted.
In his eyes, he saw more than forty horsemen chasing over here, but the leader was Zhao Haocheng.
Du Zezhi was a little surprised-this point of people rushed over, did they want to send them to death?
……
Most of the Jizhen soldiers brought by Zhao Haocheng were foot soldiers, only a hundred cavalry, and most of them were horses, and until now, there are not half of them left.
More than 40 horsemen rushed into the formation of 5,000 men, like a stone crashing into the sand.
The golden armor on Zhao Haocheng's body was already covered with blood stains, and it was no longer bright.
But his whole person's aura also became sharp again in these blood stains.
He raised his halberd, and rushed into Du Zezhi's family array without hesitation with a fierce and indomitable attitude.
The halberd flew over, the flesh and blood splashed, and Zhao Haocheng kept charging forward.
"Kill!"
He didn't know how many soldiers behind him could keep up, but even if he fought to the last man, he had to stop Du Zezhi......
~~
On the battlefield at this moment, Zhang Yongnian was leading his troops to anxiously rush to kill five hundred horsemen, trying to rush over to stop Du Zezhi as soon as possible.
The footmen ran behind the array of the family, chasing after them with tired steps.
Wang Xiao chased after the team and began to think about how to prepare Jizhen next if Du Zezhi left, and how to prevent others from following this kind of collaborating with the enemy.
He didn't think that Zhao Haocheng's few people could stop Du Zezhi.
But the next moment, he found that the team in front of him had slowed down......
~~
Everyone didn't expect that Zhao Haocheng really rushed into Du Zezhi's Chinese army.
Maybe it's because of his majestic and sophisticated armor, maybe it's because of his status as the chief soldier of Jizhen, maybe it's because the family members are shocked by his murderous aura, maybe it's because they are unwilling to be too pitiful when they see his old face......
But no matter what, Zhao Haocheng still saw Du Zezhi.
Without saying a word, the halberd was raised high, and the veteran slashed straight at Du Zezhi.
"Poof."
A long knife stabbed Zhao Haocheng in the waist.
"Poof."
Another long knife pierced his horse.
Zhao Haocheng fell off his horse and continued to run forward with his halberd.
His movements were a little clumsy.
A knife fell and cut off Zhao Haocheng's hand.
The halberd fell to the ground......
Du Zezhi sneered, turned around and shouted, "Withdraw ......"
"Traitor...... Hugh away! ”
The old voice sounded, powerless and indignant.
Du Zezhi didn't bother to pay attention to him, and urged the horses to leave.
The next moment, he felt someone holding his feet, and when he looked down, he saw Zhao Haocheng lying under his horse, holding himself tightly with his only remaining hand......
The family members stood silently on both sides, holding on to the knife and not cutting Zhao Haocheng again, just watching silently.
There was a long streak of blood on the ground.
In this last distance, Zhao Haocheng crawled over with a hand pulling the broken body, like a poor worm.
It seems to be the most humiliating part of the life of others to the end......
Du Zezhi struggled twice, but he couldn't break his foot away from Zhao Haocheng's hands.
He glanced at the family members around him, and suddenly felt a huge anger!
"Why didn't you kill him?!"
A family member walked up, hesitated for a moment, and then raised the knife and stabbed it in the gap between Zhao Haocheng's armor.
Zhao Haocheng snorted, his body trembled and slowly fell.
Du Zezhi struggled again, but still couldn't break his foot away.
"Cut off his head!"
The family Ding was stunned for a moment and muttered, "But, Lord Zongrong......"
The next moment, a human head flew high.
"You are soldiers raised by Lao Tzu! Don't call him! ”
Du Zezhi hacked that family to death with a knife, and then personally chopped Zhao Haocheng hard.
One knife, another knife......
Zhao Haocheng was silent again.
Du Zezhi only felt that there seemed to be sarcasm in those old eyes, as if to say: "Traitor, I am the chief soldier of Jizhen, and you are not worthy." ”
"Master Zongrong......" A family member called.
Du Zezhi was furious and shouted: "Don't call him!" ”
Du ...... Mr. Du, they are catching up! ”
Du Zezhi looked back, and surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Quick! Withdraw ......"
~~
Looking down from the Aoyama Pass, the battlefield is a mess.
The wind blew, and a big banner with the word 'Du' slowly fell.
The smell of blood in the air was pungent.
Wang Xiao walked forward step by step.
Stepping over the corpses all over the ground, he saw Du Zezhi sitting on the ground with a long knife.
At this time, most of the family members had dispersed and fled, and there were only more than a dozen seriously injured guards around Du Zezhi.
"Are you the real Wang Xiao?" Du Zezhi asked.
"Hmm."
Du Zezhi sneered and shouted: "If I don't retreat, I won't be defeated......
"But you retreated." Wang Xiao said lightly.
Du Zezhi pouted.
In this battle, he didn't lose to Wang Xiao or Zhao Haocheng, he lost to himself.
In order to preserve the strength of the troops, he withdrew his troops, but he didn't expect no one to catch up, and the rout was formed in a sudden situation......
It's like every battle between Chu General and Jiannu in the past......
So, Du Zezhi yelled unwillingly: "I'm unlucky, you are all waste!" ”
"Oh. Those who collaborate with the enemy do not have the heart to fight to the death, and it is normal that they cannot win the battle. ”
Wang smiled and waved his hand casually, and one of the guards walked forward.
"You're going to kill me?" Du Zezhi shouted: "You will regret it, after a while you will understand what the general trend is!" You'll regret it! Tell you, I can be useful to you......"
A swing of the knife.
Du Zezhi's eyes darkened, and he slowly fell down.
"Fuck, let a nobody kill me......"
~~
In the midst of the chaos, Meng Shuo, who was dying, was turned over from the pile of corpses.
Liu fell off the horse, his head tilted back and fell in a pool of blood, laughing and coughing......
The living have survived a war and left behind an experience.
The deceased gave his life to tell the world about the honor and disgrace he had had.
The soldiers of Thistle Town picked up the corpse in golden armor from the ground.
"Lord Rong'......"
Someone reached out and closed Zhao Haocheng's unwilling old eyes, and said firmly: "You are a soldier of the Chu Dynasty." ”
