King Shun has been fighting for many years, and it is the first time he has encountered such a lifeless, paranoid and crazy style of play. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The broadsword rose and fell, and warm blood splashed into his eyes, and the man's eyes widened instead of blinking, making the expression on his face even more hideous.
He glanced at the arm that showed the white bones of Sensen, roared, and slashed at King Shun with his knife, King Shun hurriedly raised the knife against it, his left hand shook violently, and the tiger's mouth had been shaken out of blood.
King Shun gritted his teeth, flew up and kicked him in the knee, and with a thud, he bent his knee and fell, but after a few seconds, he poured all his strength into the knife, and he was ready to get up again.
All his strength was pressed on the knife, and King Shun was unable to move by him, and the blade of the knife was getting closer and closer to him, and as soon as the injured right hand was raised, he grabbed the wound on the man's arm.
At this moment, no matter how weak the strength is, it is a fatal pain for him, King Shun saw a lot of sweat on his forehead, sneered, and the force in his hand increased a few points, seeing that the strength on the knife was much smaller, he suddenly got up and restrained him.
The sharp knife pierced into his chest, and the blood immediately stained a large piece of his clothes, and he glared angrily, looking at King Shun very unwillingly, King Shun was about to draw the knife, but he didn't want to, and he was firmly grasped.
Blood flowed rapidly from his fingers, mixing with the blood in his chest along the blade of the knife, and King Shun was surprised that the knife in his right hand had slashed at his shoulder.
King Shun dodged to the left, but he didn't avoid it after all, gritted his teeth and flew up a leg in his chest, the knife was quickly pulled out of his chest, and the whole person couldn't stand it and fell backwards.
Seeing that King Shun was injured, Lu Zhi hurriedly broke through their respective obstructions and rushed over to support him, and when he saw Chu Shenxia also rushing over, he said a little helplessly: "Your Highness is injured." ”
"Me, it doesn't matter." King Shun bit his lip tightly, trying to resist the pain from his shoulder.
Chu Shenxia raised his eyes and looked at this inky sky, tonight, there was not half a minute of moonlight, and there was an endless sound of sword collisions around him, he hadn't eaten for a day, and he didn't feel half hungry, but everyone's physical strength seemed to be a little weakened.
So he suggested: "Your Highness, it's not a long-term plan to fight like this, there are too many injured people, the Qi country has reached a dead end, the soldiers of our army can't stand such a fierce and lifeless attack, why don't you retreat to the city first?" ”
King Shun only pondered for a moment, and then replied, "Okay, give me the order, and immediately return to the city." ”
Lu Zhi sighed, raised the knife in his hand, and roared loudly: "Your Highness has an order, immediately retreat to the city." ”
In an instant, countless Liuli troops rushed towards the city gate, but the Qi soldiers always held on, not giving them this opportunity at all, as if they had the idea of fighting to the death.
The torches on the city wall suddenly lit up in an instant, illuminating the people under the city wall, Chu Shenxia raised his eyes, King Qing held the wall with his hand, and looked at the fight below with great interest, his expression was indifferent, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
It was so soon, Chu Shenxia secretly thought, and was about to walk towards the city gate with King Shun.
Several Liuli soldiers who were in front of them were suddenly hit by arrows and fell to the ground, following the king's footsteps, looking at the person on the city wall in shock, and King Qing's voice came: "Close the city gate quickly, don't let the Qi soldiers pour into the city." ”
The city gate closed firmly after a "squeak", and King Shun gritted his teeth, and the shock in his eyes faded, replaced by a tumbling, intense, murderous aura.
Lu Zhi shouted a little unwillingly: "His Royal Highness King Qing, it's us, quickly open the city gate." ”
The Liuli army involuntarily shouted: "Open the city gate, open the city gate!" ”
But there was a sentence above their heads that was enough to extinguish their blood, "Come on, release the arrows." ”
Countless solemn archers suddenly aimed the arrows in their hands at the people below, countless arrows fell from the top of their heads, and the eyes of the Liuli army were mostly resentful and unwilling, being killed by the enemy and killed by the people of their own country were two completely different moods.
Lu Zhi and a few soldiers stood in front of King Shun, waving their broadswords non-stop, trying their best to resist those dense arrows, and arrows continued to pass through their defenses and fall at their feet.
King Shun intercepted an arrow, broke it hard, and the arrow was broken into two, and the murderous aura in his eyes was so hot that it could burn people, and he almost roared out of his mouth in anger, "Kill all the soldiers, and leave no one behind!" ”
The morale of the Liuli army was high under the leadership of King Shun, and the most important factor came from King Qing's ruthlessness, and everyone went against the norm, forgetting the fatigue of the body and the pain of the wound, and attacked fiercely one after another.
Rao is Qi soldiers who attacked bravely before they could not stand such an attack, 60,000, 50,000, 40,000, there were fewer and fewer Qi soldiers standing, plus they used too much force at the beginning, most of them were exhausted at the moment, but the Liuli army was all fighting like chicken blood, attacking frantically.
The two armies fought under the city wall from the beginning, and slowly moved away from the city wall, and the Qi soldiers were forced to retreat all the way to the nearby woods.
King Shun stepped forward, slaughtered one of his soldiers, and shouted hoarsely, "Not a single one will be left!" ”
The soldiers behind him shouted, "Not a single one will be left!" None left!! Leave no !! ”
The shouts grew louder and louder, resounding through the trees, and the nocturnal birds were frightened and flew out of the forest in flocks, and the soldiers finally fled in the midst of this shout, and the last layer of defense was also broken cleanly.
In the end, only one person was left to stand up from the corpse, King Shun remembered him, it was General Shan Wangnan, who was captured by Chu Shenxia during the day, and after making eye contact with Chu Shenxia, King Shun spoke: "If you surrender, I will guarantee that the Southern Song Dynasty can reuse you as a prince." ”
Shan Wangnan's face was covered with dirty blood, but he still couldn't hide his sad expression, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and laughed: "The martyr doesn't care about the second husband, and the loyal minister doesn't care about the second master." Although I am stupid, I understand all the simple truths. ”
As he spoke, he pointed his finger at King Shun, and said without any provocation or hatred: "I am a general, and if I die under my own sword, I will ruin my reputation if I say it, please fight against me." ”
King Shun pushed away Lu Zhi, who deliberately blocked him, and slowly walked in front of him with a knife with a slight bow, and responded: "This king is facing the battle." ”
Everyone didn't speak, and looked straight at King Shun and Shan Wangnan, who could still fight so fiercely after being seriously injured, and after dozens of rounds, Shan Wangnan was stabbed in the chest by him.
The corners of Shan Wangnan's mouth raised slightly, and he raised his eyes with difficulty: "I think King Shun is also a person with a true temperament, and I have something to tell King Shun." ”
King Shun leaned forward and leaned into his ear, and Lu Zhi shouted nervously: "Your Highness, don't get close to him, he must have a trick." ”
His softer and softer words came from his ears, "Just because you have won does not mean that you are right." ”
King Shun turned around and glanced at Lu Zhi, who was a little embarrassed, paused slightly, and rolled out a sentence from his roar: "Go back to the city!" ”
The faces of the 40,000 soldiers could not see the joy of duty, and there was a deep sense of pathos under the exhaustion, yes, this action of King Qing was more desperate than the heart of ten thousand swords.
The army walked under the city wall, the city gate was immovable, everything was quiet, I don't know who released a few cold arrows, the first few soldiers at the front of the queue fell with a muffled voice, and 40,000 soldiers did not dodge and no one retreated, still standing straight in place.
Chu Shenxia cleared his throat and shouted: "King Shun and the Liuli infantry army will kill all the 100,000 Qi troops, please open the city gate of King Qing." ”
As he spoke, several cold arrows flew towards him, Chu Shenxia cut them off with cold eyes, threw them into the ground, and opened his mouth with a surge of anger: "Where are the soldiers of Jizhou?" There are only 40,000 left in the bloody battle of the 100,000 Liuli army, but now they are isolated by this iron gate, and ask the conscience of the soldiers in Jizhou? How can 60,000 Yin Souls be blinded?! ”
The iron door slowly opened as he spoke, and King Shun took the lead in walking forward, but the first thing he saw was the corpse in a place, as if a big battle had just taken place here, and his heart couldn't help but feel a pang, and after shock, anger surged into his heart.
There was a bloody man standing in the middle of the iron gate, but he couldn't hide his righteous spirit, it was Wang Qin, the commander of the forbidden army. He roared with all his strength: "Wang Qin, the commander of the forbidden army, is here to welcome the triumphant return of King Shun and the Liuli Army. ”
When the people behind him saw the corpse in front of him, they were obviously also confused, and in a daze, King Qing rushed over with a smile, "Brother Huang has made a great contribution this time." ”
Under the shocked gaze of everyone, the knife in King Shun's hand flew towards him with the sound of the wind, and the crown of the bundle of hair was knocked off by the handle of the knife, and the long hair that was tied up fell down in an instant.
King Qing's eyes suddenly widened, and his expression was shocked. He didn't expect that the usually carefree King Shun would be angry and murderous, and he was suddenly a little jealous, after all, King Shun has been fighting on the battlefield all year round, what is it to him to kill someone?
King Shun shouted: "We will kill the enemy outside the city gate!" But you have slaughtered your own people within the gates, which is despicable and shameless! When the arrow in your hand was aimed at our soldiers, did you ever think about how the thousands of Southern Song Dynasty people behind you thought of you?! ”
"No, Brother Huang, opening the city gate at that time would only pose a threat to Jizhou. I can see it clearly on the city wall, those soldiers are all red-eyed, and I can't help it. Fortunately, the emperor's successful massacre of the Qi army this time can be described as a military achievement, which is worth celebrating. King Qing avoided King Shun's hot gaze and said with a sincere expression.
"Fart!" Wang Qin on the side scolded loudly, "At that time, the forbidden army was clearly able to go out of the city to help, but you didn't give an order, and you also ordered the city gate to be closed!" ”
"Wang Qin! Who is the boss in the end, you dare to speak disrespectfully, and you also speak to provoke me and the imperial brother, I think you are tired of living. King Qing scolded with his head, and said respectfully to King Shun with a smile, "Brother Huang, the forbidden army has not yet fully arrived, I am just afraid that there will be any accidents in Jizhou, so I first brought a part of the forbidden army to come overnight without eating or drinking, and the main force of the forbidden army will arrive at noon tomorrow." ”
The chill and anger in King Shun's eyes were entangled together, which was very terrifying, and he snorted coldly and walked towards him. King Qing's face instantly turned like earth, and he subconsciously stepped back, shouting repeatedly: "Brother Huang, Brother Huang, I was wrong, and please see that I am the first time to be the commander and have no experience in leading troops, forgive me for my mistakes." ”
King Shun didn't even look at him, he still walked forward, King Qing still had some heart palpitations, and when he saw that King Shun had just walked away, he took a long breath, snorted with his sleeves, turned around and left.
