Chen Mu summoned everyone and shouted: "Put the seriously injured number, food, and iron armor on the car, and don't bring anything else." Tie the seven captives to the chariot and pull the cart, leaving ten lightly wounded numbers to keep an eye on the captives, and you go straight to the west gate. The rest of the people followed me back to the city quickly, and we went to the east gate. ”

Zhang Han reminded: "There is also a seriously wounded enemy soldier over there. ”

Chen Mu waved his hand and said, "Don't stay." ”

Zhang Han's hand raised the knife and fell, and with a "poof", Hu Ren's head rolled to the ground.

Chen Mu handed the horse to Zhang Han and asked Zhang Han to run back to take a look at the situation, and Zhang Han took the order.

At this time, there were still seventy people around Chen Mu, and there were a few minor injuries among them.

Minor injuries refer to injuries that can walk on their own, but their injuries are not necessarily minor. Some of the wounds were still oozing blood, and for such minor injuries, Chen Mu arranged for them to escort the prisoners and booty back to the west gate, while those who stopped bleeding followed Chen Mu to the east gate.

I didn't have time to rest, so I walked back quickly.

Halfway through, Zhang Han ran back and returned the horse to Chen Mu.

Zhang Han said: "The battle at the east gate was fierce, and the enemy's five-rank generals had already climbed to the top of the city and fought hand-to-hand with Captain Kongdu. The enemy generals had about 200 men, and Captain Kong Du had less than 50 men. ”

Chen Mu's eyes were gloomy.

Zhang lame came over and whispered: "If you want to run away with everyone, you must kill Li Tonghai Kuang Fusheng; If you want to fight, you have to rush back at full speed, once you rescue Captain Kongdu, your kid has a bright future. Don't forget, Kong Xiaoxian is a person from the Tang Gate Valve, and from then on, he will take you into the Gate Valve and enter the upper class. ”

Chen Mu smiled bitterly: "With my strength, I am not afraid of war." If you all die in battle, I may not die. I just think there will be a better way to play and a lot of people will die less. ”

Zhang Cripple glanced behind him, and at this time, Li Tonghai and Kuang Fusheng also got together and discussed something.

Zhang Cripple's face was solemn: "Now you decide whether you want to be an ordinary person or a master." If you want to be an ordinary person, you should hurry away. If you want to be a master, you have to be ruthless from now on. A person, once he becomes a soldier, his life is no longer his own, but a number in front of the general. ”

From Zhang Cripple's eyes, Chen Mu had already found the answer. The veteran said that he had been depressed all his life because he had not followed the right person. Now that I see that Chen Mu is a material, I hope to work with Chen Mu, and I will be a "chicken dog" in the future. So of course he didn't want Chen Mu to escape. But at this time, he didn't know the bottom of his heart, after all, this time the return of aid was really risky, and Chen Mu had already escaped from the city, would he still be willing to go back?

Chen Mu shook his head: "I understand what you said, but I think differently from you." The first thing I think about is probability, whether it's the best deal. In this case, even if we go back, Jiuquan City is likely to be lost, so it is better to take these people to a safe place and wait for reinforcements to arrive. After the reinforcements came, we accompanied the reinforcements to take Jiuquan back. In this way our losses are minimal. However," Chen Mu emphasized: "I have another worry, if I do this, will the reinforcement generals think that I am afraid of war?" In that case, all these thoughts of mine became excuses. Pointless. ”

Zhang Cripple nodded: "It's not easy for you to think of these things when you're still so young." Rich and dangerous, listen to the old brother's advice, and kill back. You have no background to speak of, you don't fight, and you will never have a chance to move up. ”

"That's exactly what I'm thinking about." Chen Mu nodded: "I not only have to calculate the gains and losses on the battlefield, but also the gains and losses of people's hearts." Sometimes earning hearts and minds is more meaningful than earning an enemy camp. ”

"Boy, you have a future." Zhang lame gave a thumbs up.

Chen Mu looked back at Li Tonghai and Kuang Fusheng, the two of them seemed to have discussed something, holding the handle of the knife and staring at Chen Mu.

Although they didn't speak, judging from their expressions, if Chen Mu said to run away at this time, the two of them would not agree.

Chen Mu turned his head: "Cripple, when I become an officer, I will definitely let you be my military advisor." Go, kill back! ”

As soon as they heard that they were going to kill back, Li Tonghai and Kuang Fusheng's hands holding the knives relaxed a little.

——

By the time they rushed back to Jiuquan, the eastern city wall was already in shambles.

The enemy had five ladders, three of which had already broken through, and the Huns rushed to the top of the city and fought the Liang army in close combat.

The Liang army was on top of the narrow city wall, in groups of ten, forming a small phalanx, with the sword and shield hands at the front, the spearmen at the back of the sword and shield hands, and then the crossbowmen. The ten-man phalanx resisted hard and was already tired.

Just when Chen Mu rushed to the city to prepare for a counterattack, a Liang army formation at the head of the city collapsed, the sword and shield men were cut to the ground, the spearmen were overturned, fell off the city and fell to their deaths, and the enemy troops swarmed up.

The Liang crossbowman released a wave of arrows and drew his waist knife to fight, but the momentum was gone, and he fell in a pool of blood soon after.

Blood, flowing down the cracks in the city wall, seemed to be bleeding from the city wall.

This phalanx was defeated, and the Liang army rushed up.

But it was obvious that the Liang army was running out of soldiers.

Near the watchtower at the city gate, Kong Xiaoxian, the commander of the capital, was slashing each other with an enemy general with a five-rank combat power, and the fight was fierce. But none of them could defeat anyone, and the balance of power was maintained.

Another general of the enemy army was still commanding under the city, he had a tall horse under his crotch, a sash door knife in his hand, and six cavalry servants beside him, looking majestic.

"Enemy commander thousand, Baturu." Zhang Cripple pointed out: "The combat power on the five products." It is too late for us to get to the city now, and we have to kill him and disturb the hearts of the enemy soldiers that we have a slight chance of victory. Chen Mu, do you dare to slap him? ”

"Kill!"

Chen Mu only answered Zhang Cripple with one word, and then urged the war horse to rush forward.

"Chen Mu, you are not skilled in horseback riding, always be careful not to let the pedal hook your foot!" Zhang Cripple shouted behind him: "Zhang Han, follow closely!" ”

"Whoa!" Zhang Han answered and led a few people to rush forward.

At this time, everyone has already understood that Zhang Cripple and Zhang Han are the right-hand men of the "Captain of the General Guard" Chen Mu, and overnight, Erzhang's status has improved a lot, and someone unconsciously stood behind Erzhang and became Erzhang's follower. Of course, there is also a premise for this, that is, their ten-division commander has been killed or wounded and retired, and they have no one to follow.

Suddenly, someone killed behind him, and the enemy general Baturu was a little puzzled, but in a trance, Chen Mu had already rushed up on horseback.

Baturu raised his knife, what was said in the house, and the six cavalrymen around him rushed over at the same time, Chen Mu held a long-handled Mo knife, slashed horizontally, and cut people on the spot, the war horses were staggered, and he returned with another knife, blocking and cutting off one person.

There were still four cavalry servants left, and they had already exchanged horses with Chen Mu, and Chen Mu shouted: "Zhang Han, one of the horses is yours!" ”

The arrow in Zhang Han's hand had already flown out, shooting one person, and seizing the horse in one go. Changed the crossbow to a knife, and killed with other cavalry, the spearmen of the Liang army rushed over, stabbed with flying spears, and killed horses if they couldn't kill people. Holding back the three cavalrymen could not run back. At this time, Chen Mu had already fought Baturu for three rounds.

Baturu is really powerful, and he can be called a skilled sword.

And Chen Mu is simply too jerky compared to it.

A weapon collision almost overturned Chen Mu.

Baturu also found that Chen Mu's strength and speed were above his own, but his riding skills were not perfect.

The two have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the horses fight in circles and fights in one place.

At this time, I heard someone shouting at the head of the city: "Reinforcements are coming!" ”

Listening to the voice, it didn't look like a man, and a flash flashed in his mind, remembering that eunuch Wu Dong, who was born in the prison army.

At the last moment, Wu Dong also rushed to the city with his henchmen and fought the enemy in close combat. Although the eunuch Wu Dong has good personal combat strength, he rarely rushes to the battlefield, and when he finally arrives, he is a little panicked. Suddenly, he saw the young general of the Shence army under the city, and he rushed over single-handedly, fighting with the enemy commander, and thought it was the vanguard of reinforcements. So he shouted at the top of his voice.

Although his voice is not good, it is simply a natural sound in the ears of the Liang soldiers at this time.

The Liang army, which had only a few dozen people left, burst out with overwhelming momentum, and the enemy was more than 100 people on top of the city.

At this time, there were still dozens of enemy troops under the city who had time to climb the city wall in the future.

Zhang Cripple rushed over with someone and shouted, "Withdraw the ladder for me first!" ”

"Damn! The ladder has been removed, how can we go up! Li Tonghai shouted.

Zhang Cripple looked angrily, and pointed at Li Tonghai: "We will entangle the enemy generals, if Kong Xiaoxian can't even stop more than a hundred people, he will still be a fart captain!" ”

Li Tonghai scolded: "What kind of thing are you, you dare to underestimate Captain Du!" ”

Zhang Cripple's knife rested on Li Tonghai's neck: "If you want to withdraw, you will withdraw, and then talk nonsense with me, Lao Tzu will kill you!" ”
