Chapter 140 • Defeat

The Humeng people broke through the west city gate, which was undoubtedly the last straw that crushed the Yan army, the exhausted Liu Zhilan struggled to split the Humeng people who rushed towards him, and then he had time to straighten up and look around, the defenders in the city had already shown signs of retreat, Yan Wuji, not far from him, still with nearly half of the scout battalion that had been damaged, one by one to impact the advantage points established by the Humeng people, but under the general trend, the Humeng people's advantage points gathered much faster than they eliminated, and they had begun to gradually connect into pieces.

Liu Zhilan frowned, at this stage, he knew very well that Xiema Town could not be defended, so his current task was only one, to protect Yan Wuji to break through safely.

Yan Wuji was still carrying out his current strategy, as if he hadn't heard any sound from the outside world, Song Tao behind him saw all this in his eyes, but his superiors didn't give an order, he could only be in a hurry, changed a complete weapon from the corpse on the side, and continued to follow Yan Wuji.

A powerful arm suddenly grabbed Yan Wuji, who wanted to continue to rush forward, giving the latter time to ease his mind, calm down the aura that was close to rampage before, stared at Liu Zhilan, and asked with some confusion, "What's wrong?" ”

Liu Zhilan pointed to the west of the city and the town of Xiema, where the Humeng soldiers were already spreading to the north of the city, and said regretfully, "It's time to go!" ”

At this time, Yan Wuji realized that the city seemed to be much more noisy than before, and if he looked closely, it was actually countless Humeng people engaged in fierce street battles with the defenders, and some of them were still on the ground with the blade curled in their hands, and spat a mouthful of blood casually, I don't know if it was his, or accidentally splashed into his mouth.

There is no rumored death-defying shout "I won't leave, I will live and die with this city!" "And so on to use Mingzhi, that will not make any sense except to let others know that you are loyal and patriotic.

"Have you planned your route, and where do you go from there?" Yan Wuji himself knows when to be brave and when to retreat, or to show weakness, and at this point, he already has the qualities of a commander.

Liu Zhilan nodded, obviously this kind of smoothness was a little beyond his expectations, before he estimated that Yan Wuji would definitely not retreat in unison, at least he would have to fight with others until he had only the last breath left, and he would be willing, or take advantage of his inattention, knock him unconscious and carry him away, but these assumptions have now become imaginary, which is naturally the best result.

"The last general's plan is to go out of the city from the west of the city, but unfortunately the captured city gate is the west of the city, so this route is currently unavailable."

Yan Wuji raised his eyebrows, "Don't tell me you don't have an alternative. ”

Liu Zhilan laughed, and secretly said that Yan Wuji really understood him, "This alternative route is to go from the south gate, and the north gate will definitely not be able to go, because the camp of Keli is outside the north gate, even if Hu Meng has the intention to let us go, he will definitely not relax the vigilance in the north." ”

"That's true, but why not choose the East Gate?"

"Hehe" Liu Zhilan smiled a little embarrassedly, "The last general will divinate the camp commander, the east gate is where the camp commander will die this year, so it is not good for the camp commander to go to the east gate." ”

Yan Wuji said this sentence a little bit I don't know how to pick it up, to say that he is superstitious, but sometimes he has to take these things, there are indeed certain factors in it, in line with the psychology of rather believing it or not, Yan Wuji reluctantly accepted Liu Zhilan's nonsense.

"Send someone to inform Jia Chong and Zhang Erhu to evacuate immediately,

Meet us in Seongnam. ”

The soldiers on the periphery gradually couldn't resist the growing number of Hu Meng's soldiers, and during the exchange between the two, several more pro-soldiers fell into the ghosts of the Hu Meng's knife, Yan Wuji saw this, and no longer hesitated in his heart, and Liu Zhilan, with the remaining Yan soldiers around him, went down the city wall to the south of the city, because their defense area is in the north city wall, so to reach the south of the city, you need to cross the entire Shema Town, those Hu Meng's soldiers who have poured into every street and alley like a tide are the biggest obstacle to their progress.

Everyone walked all the way to a secluded corner, because of the chaos in the city now, so their group did not attract the attention of others, and there was no Hu Mengbing to deliberately pursue them.

Yan Wuji, who was relieved, glanced left and right, and found that in addition to Liu Zhilan and Song Tao, there were only a dozen people left around him, and they were all from the scout camp, as for him and Liu Zhilan's personal soldiers, it is estimated that they had already died in the previous battle.

"Whew..."Yan Wuji let out a sigh, it was another experience of absconding, this feeling made his psychology irritable for no reason, I hope this is the last time, Yan Wuji said silently in his heart.

"Let's go!" After resting, everyone rushed towards the south again, the street battle in the city was still fierce, Yan Wuji neatly waved the long knife in his hand, because this was in the city, so he was not afraid of revealing his identity as an extreme martial arts cultivator, so a long knife with a pale yellow extreme martial aura appeared and disappeared in the crowd, and every time it rose and fell, it would take the life of a Humeng soldier.

But even so, Yan Wuji and the others were not arrogant enough to rampage through the increasingly powerful Shema Town of the Humeng people, but chose some more secluded alleys to sneak through very sensibly.

After bypassing a few more streets, Yan Wuji obviously felt that the pressure from Hu Meng had become much greater, and in the few alleys he passed by just now, the more he went to the back, the more difficult it was to see Yan Jun again, which was not a good sign, although the city gate was broken, and the Yan army was bound to rout, but this rout came much faster than he expected.

Judging from the current situation, the Yan army has begun to rout on the whole line, and the route of the rout should be to the east, which makes him a little confused, logically speaking, the south is the best route to escape, why do they all run east?

"Could it be that the South Gate has also been captured by the Humengs?" Yan Wuji and Liu Zhilan glanced at each other, and they were both shocked.

"It seems that the South Gate is too much to go!" Yan Wuji raised his eyes and looked at the front of Nancheng, which was already close at hand, but the Humeng people who were still scurrying out of the ladder like ants on it made him break off his plan to break through from the south, even if he was an extreme martial arts cultivator, in front of thousands of ordinary soldiers, it was still not enough for one person and one sword.

"Go east and fight!" After speaking, he turned around decisively and went east, and Liu Zhilan, who was following him, could only shake his head helplessly and smile bitterly, at the beginning of the sentence that the door of life and death was just his casual nonsense, because going south and going east are the same, now I just hope that I don't want to be a word, and I can't help but quietly give myself a mouthful, obviously feeling that I have a crow's mouth today.

More and more remnants of the retreating Yan army gathered under the east city wall, the battle on the city wall here was still fierce, rows of bright swords and guns stood under the city gate, and Hao Zifeng, who was standing behind them, looked at these retreating soldiers with a cold face, who dared to cross the line and immediately correct the law on the spot.

It was only when his eyes swept over Yan Wuji and the others that he was slightly surprised,

Then he whispered a few words to Qiu Heng beside him, and Qiu Heng also followed Hao Zifeng's gaze and found Yan Wuji and the others.

After Hao Zifeng finished speaking, he stood back again, Qiu Heng stepped forward and took two steps, and shouted vigorously: "Soldiers, don't be impatient, Xiema Town has been breached, but we can't mess up, the army commander generals, all the generals, immediately organize the sergeants of the headquarters to form a formation on the spot, wait for the army commander's order, and break through together."

In addition, during this period, if anyone instigated the morale of the army and disturbed our morale, regardless of the size of the official position or status, they were all beheaded and displayed to the public. ”

Under the command of Hao Zifeng, the chaotic Yan army restored order again, and gradually formed a temporary defensive front within a radius from the east gate inward, and from time to time the Yan army retreated from the periphery, and the soldiers in charge of guarding would roughly interrogate their formations and numbers, and then find their top bosses to come and claim them.

"Battalion commander, there is a person named Zhang Erhu outside the camp, who says that he is under your command." During this period, Yan Wuji and others also intermittently gathered the remnants of the independent battalion who had retreated from the periphery, but there was no news of Zhang Erhu and Jia Chong, so he could not settle down in his heart.

When breaking through before, he agreed with them to assemble under the South City Gate, but he changed his plan halfway, if Zhang Erhu and Jia Chong died because of this, then he would be mainly responsible for the death of the two, how to be unhappy when he heard the news of Zhang Erhu at this time.

Zhang Erhu is still like that, although there are a few knife wounds on his body, but fortunately, they are all skin injuries, and there is no big problem, Jia Chong is obviously not the first to take the lead, so there are not as many colors on his body as Zhang Erhu, only a hole in his arm.

"The battalion commander asked me to wait with you to gather in the south of the city, but we walked along the way, the more wrong it became, and later we learned when we were about to arrive in the south of the city that it was not the south of the city that was breached, but Zhang Zicong's bastard, who actually took the initiative to open the gate of the south of the city and let the Humeng people in."

"Zhang Zicong?" Obviously, this name made Yan Wuji feel a little unfamiliar.

"It's the sixth battalion commander we call it." Zhang Erhu added that he and Zhang Zicong were at the same level, but unfortunately he killed Yan Wuji halfway, making him suddenly half a cut shorter than the other party, and the two used to fight when they served together under Hao Zifeng, Zhang Erhu couldn't get used to the other party's snobbery, and Zhang Zicong couldn't get used to his arrogance.

So when Zhang Zicong saw Zhang Erhu later, he would inevitably be ridiculed, but Zhang Erhu is not an easy person, the two have been fighting for so long, and they are clear about each other's urine, so Zhang Zicong wants to bully each other with half of Zhang Erhu's official position, and in the end he can't get anything good.

"Let's not mention him yet, after all, there is nothing wrong with him now, how many brothers have you brought back?" Yanagi has always liked to refer to the soldiers under his command as brothers.

Zhang Erhu and Jia Chong glanced at each other, then shook their heads and said, "It's just a hundred people, what about the battalion commander?" ”

"After coming out, there were only more than 20 people, and under this gradual convergence, there were only 100 people." Obviously, this number made several people secretly surprised, because such a huge loss was equivalent to the annihilation of the entire army.

A horn sounded in the distance, and rows of Humeng soldiers shouted loud trumpets, slapping the shield held in front of their chest with their right hand with their scimitars, and approached the last position of the Yan army step by step. 、

It was clear that the remnants of the three lines of defense in the southwest and north had been cleared, and this would be their final assault on the town of Shema. WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chats about life, and looks for confidants~
