Chapter 531: The Horn in the Heart

Cao's army rushed to kill, and the Penglai soldiers could not resist the enemy, and retreated into the mountains and forests under the leadership of Tai Shigong.

On the hill.

Tai Shi Gong sat on a large rock, and beside him stood an officer of the Tianhai Battalion.

"Zhu Yu, how long have you been with so-and-so?" Tai Shi Gong asked.

"Since the general went to Penglai, I will follow!" Zhu Yu accosted.

"How long have you been a centurion?"

"More than half a year!"

"Can you believe the brothers?"

"It's like my own brother." Zhu Yu replied: "It's just a battle, and the brothers have a lot of complaints. ”

"What's wrong?" Tai Shi Gong asked.

"Cao's army will be defeated by one charge, and our army will not be able to form an army." Zhu Yu said: "Gongzi led the army to fight in the south and the north, how could he have such a situation? ”

"It is not easy for the rabble to escape without all of them." Tai Shigong said: "Although our army has a hill to rely on, Cao's army is powerful after all. Once the supply of food and grass for our army is insufficient, it is difficult to guarantee that the soldiers will not mutiny. ”

Zhu Yu didn't say anything.

He knew very well that Tai Shi Gong was not alarmist.

More than 10,000 rabble, feed their bellies, they may not do anything.

Once they are hungry, you Emperor Lao Tzu will mutiniate and make trouble!

"The army is not allowed to linger here." Tai Shi Gong said: "If you want to lead the army to make a detour to Xiapi, can you hold this place?" ”

"Relying on the hills, it should be safe to keep a day." Zhu Yu said: "There are too many Cao troops, and I only have a hundred brothers under my command......"

"Maybe not a day." Tai Shi Gong said: "When the army retreats, a certain will give an order to blow the horn." Hear the trumpet, you wait to evacuate immediately! ”

"No!" Zhu Yu responded.

"If there is no trumpet. Even if you fight to the last man, you can't take half a step back! Tai Shi Gong commanded in a strengthened tone.

"Obey the general's orders!"

Leave Zhu Yu and others to guard the hill. Tai Shi Gong ordered all the soldiers and horses and evacuated from behind the mountain.

More than 10,000 troops. Although the number of people is large, they are all a rabble.

Once Cao's army attacks the hill, Penglai's army will surely collapse.

If you can lead them to kill them and join up with other reinforcements, even if they are a rabble, they should not be underestimated if they are twisted into a force!

Tai Shi Gong led the army to leave, and only a hundred Tianhai battalions of Zhu Yu's department remained on the hill.

Looking at the black Cao Jun at the foot of the mountain, a soldier said: "Crazy! It's insane! I can't wait for a hundred people, but I have to fight against 30,000 Cao troops......"

"Leaning on the hills. It's not all out of chance. Zhu Yu said: "Brothers, bring rolling logs and boulders, don't let Cao Jun go up the mountain half a step!" ”

Hundreds of Tianhai battalions moved one after another, bringing big stones and rolling logs from nearby, just waiting for Cao Jun to attack.

The mountain has just fallen.

Xu Chu and Xu Huang rode at the lush hills.

"Gongming breaks the enemy in a battle, and Cao Gong will have a heavy reward." Xu Chu said: "A certain concession is credited, and I regret it at this time!" ”

"Zhong Kang is talking about the wind and cold!" Xu Huang said: "The enemy army is so fragile, how can it be credited to breaking the enemy in a certain battle? It was quite annoying for him to retreat to the hill. ”

"Cao Gong was in a hurry to break the enemy army. We shall not besiege them here. Xu Chu said: "For today's plan, the only way is to storm the hill!" ”

Xu Huang beckoned, and immediately four or five thousand Cao troops came out of the battle and moved forward.

The hill is not steep, the slope is at most 30 degrees.

Cao Jun went into battle. The soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion on the hillside held their breath and took their longbows from their backs.

Spreading the bowstring, the soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion aimed at the Cao army, which was advancing towards the hillside.

"Steady. Steady! Zhu Yu whispered: "Wait until the enemy army is close before fighting." ”

The bowstring was full, and arrows were pointed at Cao's army.

Holding a large shield. Cao Jun marched in a neat line.

Because it was a back-attack, the Cao army array was in the eyes of the soldiers of the Tianhai battalion. Not without vulnerabilities.

Getting closer and closer, Cao Jun's array was a little looser than before due to the climb up the hill.

"Shoot the arrows!" Seeing that Cao Jun had arrived at the location arrow released earlier, Zhu Yu let go of the bowstring and let out a loud shout at the same time.

More than 100 people let go of their hands, and the arrows flew out like lightning.

There were also trees between him and Cao's army, and some arrows were blocked by trees, and few fell into Cao's army.

Even so, there were still Cao Jun who were shot by feather arrows, fell to the ground and rolled down the hillside.

"Kill!" Cao Jun pointed his long sword at him and took the lead in speeding up the charge.

Thousands of Cao troops followed, shouting and pouring up the mountain.

The soldiers of the Tianhai battalion drew arrows and shot Cao Jun continuously.

When the enemy army rushed to only thirty or forty steps, Zhu Yu shouted: "Smash the stones, smash them down!" ”

The soldiers of the Tianhai battalion on the hillside pushed the piled stones towards the Cao army.

The stone tumbled down the slope, hit the trees halfway through, only to bounce and then roll down again.

With the slope of the hillside, the momentum of the tumbling boulders became more and more violent, and Cao Jun, who was hit by them, fell to the ground one after another.

Sideways to avoid the oncoming boulder, the general was about to rush forward, and his chest suddenly tightened.

An arrow entered his chest, and the arrow peeked out from behind.

With his mouth wide open and his eyes wide open, General Cao Junbiao couldn't believe that he had died on the battlefield like this.

As he fell to the ground, he watched as countless logs rolled down the mountain.

One of the cylindrical logs tossed around a few times and fell straight into the air.

Lying on the ground, General Cao Jun saw that the interface of the rolling wood was getting bigger and bigger in front of him.

With a muffled thud, he seemed to hear the sound of his head shattering.

Immediately afterward, he lost consciousness.

The first charge of Cao's army ended in failure.

Thousands of people attacked, leaving only a hundred corpses on the hillside, and they didn't even see the faces of the soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion.

The first attack was frustrated, and Xu Chu was furious.

He was about to personally lead the troops to kill, Xu Huang said: "The enemy army is just a rabble, why do you go there in person?" ”

Angry in his heart, and unwilling to be looked down upon by Xu Huang, Xu Chu shouted: "Go again!" ”

Another wave of Cao troops rushed to the hillside.

The outcome they faced was no different from that of the previous group of Cao Jun.

After attacking for a while, leaving more than a hundred corpses, Cao Jun retreated again!

Cao's army charged several times in a row, shooting countless feathered arrows at the hill.

The ground next to Zhu Yu and the others was full of feather arrows shot by Cao Jun.

Blocking Cao's army from the middle, until the sun sets, the soldiers are already exhausted.

Zhu Yu, who was leaning against the tree and his face covered with mud, closed his eyes.

"Did you hear the trumpet?" A soldier of the Tianhai Battalion suddenly shouted: "Listen, everyone, I seem to hear the sound of a trumpet. ”

Zhu Yu opened his eyes suddenly, and the surviving soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion pricked up their ears and listened quietly.

The wind swept over the hillside, stirring the leaves and making a "rustling" sound.

There was silence in the distance, where was the sound of a trumpet?

After half a day of fighting, Cao's army suffered hundreds of casualties, and more than half of the soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion who had endured countless arrow rains were also lost.

More than 20 people died, dozens were seriously injured, and the rest were more or less slightly injured.

"Trumpet! Trumpet! The soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion, who were the first to shout and hear the horn, shouted happily and inexplicably: "They blew the horn!" (To be continued.) )
