Chapter 153: The Last Soldier

This is a trap, Zhou Shi understood when he took the lead in rushing out, those so-called "people's husbands" actually lined up to resist in an orderly manner after being attacked, and Zhou Shi was very familiar with the flawed formation.

"Where are there so many Qin soldiers in Humu Township?"

But he quickly reacted, when he left Humu Township, the minfu was indeed a minfu, but after arriving at Waihuang, the minfu was dropped by Qin's pawn! And the cart is not necessarily food, but also hides weapons and crossbowmen!

As a bronze whistle sounded from the black-faced Qin officials, almost a Qin Guocai soldier appeared in the dozens of vehicles in the entire convoy, holding a crossbow machine and shooting at the light man who rushed out of the forest.

Zhou Shi was lucky enough to dodge this shot, but he found that several of his men had already fallen to the ground on his left and right, or screaming and groaning, or losing their breath in an instant......

He got up, he shouted, waved his hands, but instead of shouting and charging, he told everyone to quickly turn around and evacuate!

However, in this chaotic scene, Zhou Shi's orders could not be conveyed in time, and those brave and ruthless rangers didn't seem to know what was happening in front of them, and still screamed, rushing forward one after another to send them to death.

And on the other side of the forest, Zhou Shi's cronies also came out with fifty people.

But they were greeted by a row of Qin soldiers who had already lined up in line, each of whom raised their spears loaded on the cart, reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight......

As early as in the war many years ago, Zhou Shi understood that with the same number of people, there was no chance of winning against the battle-hardened Qin pawns with a rabble. But across the convoy of Qin people, Zhou Shi could only watch as the fifty people were surrounded by Ge spears and harvested their lives.

Fortunately, they also bought time for the people on the other side to retreat.

But the Qin people soon caught up, the black-faced Qin officials with copper whistles fought with swords, and the Qin people dressed as people held shields in front, and the Qin crossbowmen in the car held crossbows behind, biting the Wei people to prevent them from getting out smoothly.

Therefore, Zhou Shi could only take the remaining dozens of people and fight and retreat in the forest.

After the battle, Zhou Shi caught a glimpse of Chen Yu's figure, but it was a pity that he turned his back to him.

This Confucian said loudly, but when it came to the battle of life and death, he hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth, left his nephew, left the light man, and left the Zhou City after the difficult break, and ran into the forest with a few rangers

"I really can't believe these Confucian ......"

Zhou Shi asked for help to no avail, sighed in his heart, but his hand was not slow at all, a Qin man pretending to be a folk man rushed towards him with a short sword, Zhou Shi gently opened the blade, a sword stabbed into the back of the opponent's neck, and hot blood poured on his face.

The sword, this is the "toy" that he has been wielding since he was sensible, and it is also the most familiar partner of Zhou Shi for many years.

It was his father who shoved the sword into his hand.

For many years, the image of his father was a little blurry in Zhou Shi's mind, but he still remembered that by the fire at home, his father told him the history of martial arts......

This professional army, founded by General Wu Qi, was once the pride of the Wei State.

"General Wu raised 70,000 troops and the world was unstoppable, when it was, the Qin army did not dare to step into Hexi for twenty years!"

"And among the 70,000 soldiers, 50,000 are Wei Wushu!"

I don't know when the Zhou family has been a military pawn for generations, they have the fields and houses provided by the Wei State, and the subordinate concubines farm and graze for them, and the men of the Zhou family, since they were born, have only one task: to be a military pawn and fight for the Wei State!

But if you want to be a martial artist, you must undergo a rigorous assessment.

When Zhou Shi was seventeen years old, he participated in the martial arts exercise on the outskirts of Daliang. According to tradition, he and his companions put on triple armor, held a sword with a sword, carried a crossbow on their backs, and carried 50 crossbow arrows in the negative arrow bag, and had to carry three days' rations.

Carrying heavy loads, trotting all the way, panting, but Zhou Shi still drank the turbid water of the big river when the sun was about to set.

Like a father chasing the sun, he lay down by the river and drank for a while, and the second reached the end.

There is no doubt that Zhou Shi, who performed well, became a proud warrior, but he was surprised to find that those companions who did not meet the standards also became warriors.

There is no way, Wei Guo is weak, and he is no longer qualified to pick and choose, as long as he is the son of a martial artist, as long as he is not too outrageous, he can inherit the position of his father and ancestor.

Looking around, there were only more than 100 soldiers that year, and there were only a few thousand of the 50,000 male troops in the past.

Before Zhou Shi could tell his father the good news, he learned that his father had died in the battle with Qin!

Even the corpse was not transported back, and as for the head, it was probably cut down by the Qin people and brought back for merit.

So far, the Zhou family has had three generations in a row, and they died at the hands of the Qin people. It was also from that year that the young Zhou Shi inherited the blood feud between the family and Qin!

It was almost that year, after burying his father's clothed mound, Zhou Shi got a glimpse of his fate.

Unlike ordinary people, warriors will not die on the bed, in the cries of their wives and concubines, but on the battlefield, shrouded in horse leather......

His predecessors of the martial arts, several generations add up to more than 100,000 people, and most of them died in one defeat after another: died in Shimen, died in Anyi, died in Guiling, died in Maling, died in Yique, died in Huayang, and died in Liangyu......

The place where the warriors died in battle is getting closer and closer to Daliang, and the national strength of Wei is getting farther and farther away from revival and glory.

"Where am I going to die?" Zhou Shi thought.

"Is it in this forest?"

……

The stinging pain of the wound on his body brought back Zhou Shi, who was tired from fighting, and he looked around, there were very few people who were still holding on, and the rest either died or fled.

And those Qin people who were in hot pursuit, still surrounded from all directions.

Zhou Shi had been fighting and retreating in this forest for half an hour, and there were more and more wounds on his body, although they were not fatal, but the blood that kept flowing out made him tired and weak, and the sword in his hand became heavier and heavier.

But this dense forest terrain is beneficial to them, the Qin people's crossbow machine can not keep up in time, in a narrow place, it is easy to cause a one-on-one situation, at this time, it is the narrow road to meet the brave wins!

Zhou Shi lifted his sword again and strode forward, he shouted loudly, encouraging his partners to turn around and fight, he couldn't run away anyway, it was better to take a few more Qin people to go down to Huangquan together!

Before the war was confined to the gap between the eyes, Zhou Shi's martial arts were exquisite, and he would never fall behind one-on-one. He confronted three people in succession, and he went on a killing spree, his sword provoking a bloody rain, and his arms turned red all the way to his elbows.

"Wei Wushu!"

When the battle was in full swing, Zhou Shi seemed to be drunk, he raised the remnant blade high, and shouted loudly the slogan of the year, and the sword full of gaps was also glowing with blood in the noon sun. He seemed to have returned to the battlefield where he fought against the Qin army many years ago, and his companions in armor were forming a phalanx to resist the impact of the Qin army's sharp soldiers.

The soldiers do not die, and the battle does not stop!

However, when he knocked down the last Qin person in front of him, shouted happily, and looked around again, he was stunned to find that the Qin people had never decreased, and his own people were slowly being harvested and killed!

The fourteen-year-old boy who was lying behind Zhou Shi before the ambush, clutching the shaft of his spear and almost crying in fear, tripped and fell to the ground as he fled......

A fellow warrior who had followed Zhou City since Yangwu took advantage of the narrow terrain of the woods to fight with two Qin pawns, and was trying to make up for the Qin people who were cut down by him, but was pierced through the abdomen by a spear......

and the loud voice Huang Qingxia, who was brought by Chen Yu and newly joined them, cursed loudly and stabbed a Qin soldier to death on a tree, but was smashed on the top of his head by a long sword behind him, blood gushed down his face, and he fell to his knees with his legs, no longer breathless......

Zhou Shi also saw that the black-faced Qin pawn who escorted the grain cart and also single-handedly planned this ambush had been wandering outside the front line of the battle, only leading his small team through the forest. They methodically supported every one-on-one battle, and after defeating the Wei people with more enemies and fewer enemies, they gave those who could still stand up a neat death.

Zhou Shi was furious, and he tried to rush over to help his companion, but he couldn't catch a crossbow arrow from a distance, and it shot through his thigh solidly!

He fell to the ground with a bang, his eyes darkened, and when he opened his eyes again, there were only dead people left around him.

The footsteps were slowly approaching, it was the Qin people, they were surrounding Zhou City, but they were all cautious, because Zhou City could kill six people when they fought and retreated, and they were not a simple character.

The sharp pain in his leg made Zhou Shi grit his teeth, but he still held on to his sword and stood up on his own.

"It seems that this is the place where I am buried."

Zhou Shi's yellowed beard was stained with blood and mud, and he smiled bitterly.

The phalanx of warriors is invincible in the world!

If there are comrades, Zhou Shi is fearless.

But they all died one by one and disappeared one by one, and today, more than ten years later, looking around blankly, Zhou Shi was stunned.

He is the last remaining soldier......

The more than ten Qin people in front of him were not arrogant enough to duel with Zhou City, and under the shouting of the black-faced Qin official, three crossbowmen stood up and slowly raised their crossbows ten steps away, facing Zhou City, who could no longer move half a step......

Zhou Shi knew that he would die, and he was not afraid of death. The Confucian scholar Chen Yu is right, those who eat their food, do not avoid it, Zhou Shi has never received the courtesy of the prince of Wei and has been a guest of the prince's door, but he is a military pawn, this background is destined to be with the Wei State, coexistence.

After these two months of struggle, Zhou Shi asked himself, he was worthy of the grace of several generations of Wei Guotian Mansion, although he failed to expel the Qin people from Wei, although he failed to save Wei with his own modest efforts.

But he has nothing to regret, he regrets it, at least in his own hands, he has killed no less than ten Qin people, which is enough.

The black-faced Qin official's hand was raised high, and he would give the order to release the arrow at any time, and the crossbowmen had already wound it and would deduct the hanging knife at any time.

"Chen Yu said that Zilu is a Confucian student, and it is inevitable that a gentleman will die and be crowned."

The Qin official was expressionless and waved his hand!

"I am a soldier, even if I die, I must keep the dignity of a soldier."

The crossbowman pulled the hanging knife, and those whizzing crossbow arrows were getting closer and closer in Zhou Shi's eyes, but he laughed out loud!

"As a soldier, it is a glorious thing to die in battle, and the public should laugh at the axe, and be willing to eat it!"

His thoughts came to an abrupt halt, and several crossbow arrows pierced Zhou Shi's chest and abdomen, taking his life.

At the last moment of his life, this veteran soldier still stared at each other, leaning against a tree, holding a sword in both hands, standing straight, although he died, he did not fall.

Heifu stepped forward and shook at Zhou Shi's corpse, which was so heavy that his hand almost touched the ground. The Qin soldiers behind him were also in awe, put away their blades, and fought in unison.

Then, Heifu raised his sword, said sorry, and cut off Zhou Shi's head without hesitation!

Zhou City, this veteran of the military who should have been ordered by King Chen to lead his troops north to recover Wei more than ten years later, and finally recovered Daliang and realized his dream of recovering the country.

In this historical time and space, he died in Waihuang County, in an unknown forest, and was beheaded by a Qin official named Heifu, whose reputation was not obvious among the princes......

In this world, there is no more Wei Wushu!
