Chapter 572: Blood Water
With a "plop", a corpse fell into the water, and the blood flowed into the stream little by little, but the ripples had not yet subsided, and more arrows, corpses, and stones followed to muddy the bloody water.
Chen Zhishen roared and rushed into the crowd, he already had several wounds on his body, but Chen Zhishen was not moved at all, and continued to rush forward with the soldiers and horses under his command. A soldier of the Northern Zhou Dynasty gritted his teeth to meet this bloodied, tower-like enemy.
They have obviously also seen that this enemy is the core of the entire fragile defense line, and only by killing this guy can they make a breakthrough.
Chen Zhishen couldn't count the enemy's first attacks, and these Northern Zhou reinforcements obviously also received death orders, and they were determined to completely crush the enemy in front of them.
There are not many dangerous places that can be defended from the entrance on the north side of Cangxi Valley to the place where Wei Shou was ambushed by Pei Zilie, and Chen Zhishen is only one of these soldiers at this time. Chen Zhishen didn't know how long he would hold out, but he knew that if he let these enemies rush over, then Pei Zilie's back and flanks would be threatened, and when the time came, let alone continue to surround Wei Shou, I am afraid that it would not be so easy for Pei Zilie to get out.
"Rush forward!" Several Northern Zhou soldiers rushed over from Chen Zhishen's side.
At this time, Chen Zhishen also found that he had fallen into too much enemy formation, turned around and roared, knocked away a Northern Zhou soldier in front of him, and the axe directly smashed heavily on the shield of a Northern Zhou general next to him, the general snorted, took a few steps back, and looked at Chen Zhishen with some panic. And Chen Zhishen didn't entangle with him at all, and rushed straight towards the other Northern Zhou sword and shield hands.
Seeing that none of their generals were opponents, these sword and shield hands did not dare to step forward easily, and they were brutally rushed out of a path by Chen Zhishen. Several Nan Chen soldiers hurriedly rushed over to protect Chen Zhishen's left and right.
"Let's go." Chen Zhishen doesn't talk nonsense, although he is a person who rushes to kill and kills, he also knows that now is not the time to be ruthless.
The soldiers of Nan Chen had gradually gathered, and Chen Zhishen looked around, only feeling that his heart was dripping blood. Of the two hundred soldiers who followed him, there were only thirty or forty people left, and basically all of them were wounded, but on the opposite side of them, there were still seven or eight hundred enemies, and Chen Zhishen knew that the next time the other side rushed over, there might be no one left next to him.
"General," a general standing beside Chen Zhishen licked his lips slightly, "Are we going to die here?" β
Chen Zhishen glanced sideways at him: "What, are you scared?" β
The general stiffened his neck and said: "What did the general say, his subordinates followed the general all the way from White Emperor City to here, and they don't know how to write the words 'afraid of death'." It was an honor to die on the battlefield. β
Reaching out and patting him on the shoulder, Chen Zhishen smiled and said, "It's a man." β
When the words fell, Chen Zhishen took a few steps forward, turned around and looked around, every Nanchen soldier subconsciously straightened his waist, his eyes were blazing, staring ahead.
Chen Zhishen raised the axe in his hand and said loudly: "Brothers, since we have no way to return to our hometown, let's kill him here vigorously!" β
All the Nan Chen soldiers agreed at the same time.
And the Northern Zhou soldiers were also lined up, and with an order from the army, the Northern Zhou army that had been regrouped rushed towards this small hillside like a tide.
Chen Zhishen squinted slightly, he didn't expect to die here today, but the green mountains and green waters around here are a good place to bury bones.
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the road behind, and the footsteps of the Northern Zhou army followed.
I saw a group of soldiers dressed in all kinds of clothes and armor, and even some of them were just cloth clothes rushing along the road with a roar, and many of them came out of the surrounding mountains and forests, and the arrows roared past them into the array of the Northern Zhou army, because they never thought that the enemy would appear behind them, and the Northern Zhou army was in chaos.
"Kill!" Li Xun took the lead and crashed directly into the panicked crowd of Northern Zhou troops.
"Kill!" The Pakistani soldiers quickened their pace one after another, closely following Li Xun.
Chen Zhishen stared at the reinforcements that suddenly appeared, and his hands trembled slightly with excitement. If you say anything called desperate survival, I'm afraid that's it. At this time, Chen Zhishen could only sigh softly in his heart.
Li Xinchen's reinforcements arrived, and his bold words just now were in vainΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
"General, this Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Several Nan Chen soldiers subconsciously glanced at each other.
Chen Zhishen laughed: "Heaven will not kill me, kill me!" β
"No!" The soldiers agreed with a bang.
The thirty or so soldiers poured down the hillside with a roar. At this time, Li Xun had already forced several Northern Zhou soldiers in front of him to retreat, and just happened to see Chen Zhishen who led the team to rush to the front. He had never seen this No. 1 fierce general under Li Xinchen, but he had admired his name for a long time, and he couldn't help but smile at this time.
Chen Zhishen also slashed a Northern Zhou soldier who was blocking the road in front of him to the ground, saw Li Xun, nodded his head, and immediately laughed: "You guys are coming quickly!" β
"Fortunately, General Lai fought bloodily to stop the enemy." Li Xun didn't dare to slack off.
"What are you doing so politely, it's Brother Paoze!" Chen Zhishen waved his hand, "Let's go, let's kill these Zhou dogs, and then go and deal with that kid Wei Shou with General Pei!" β
"Dare to disobey!" Li Xunden also smiled.
ββββββββββββββββββ--
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Cui Hongdu waved his horsewhip and urged his corporals to hurry forward. This was the last force he could draw from the rest of the levels.
Originally, He Louzigan only left 3,000 people for Cui Hongdu, and at least hundreds of people were needed to guard the remaining checkpoints, so the seven or eight hundred people that Cui Hongdu could gather now could really be said to be squeezed out of the teeth.
Knowing how dangerous it is to be overstretched now, Cui Hongdu still has no other choice, after all, the main roads in the north of Cangxi Valley need to be guarded, and Wei Shou is surrounded, and Cui Hongdu cannot see death without help.
"General, after the bend in front of you, it will be Xujiagou." A general walked briskly.
And Cui Hongdu nodded, three steps and two steps rushed to the front of the team, the mountain turned, Cui Hongdu saw the hillside that held the road at first glance, but the scene in front of him made him can't help but take a deep breath.
The corpses were stacked on the hillside, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and at the top of the hillside a red battle flag of Nanchen had been broken, and several torches were still burning, igniting the trees on the hillside, and black smoke was billowing up.
"Bastard!" Cui Hongdu shook his fist heavily.
It's too late after all.
A scout ran over quickly and said anxiously: "General Qiyu, the enemy is attacking Changgu, it is Xiao Shilian's banner!" β
Cui Hongdu's hand trembled, and the knife almost came out.
