"Kill!" With a long roar, Cao Zhi swung his knife and chopped it violently, the finch pattern Baipi knife chopped on a wooden shield, with a loud sound, the wooden shield was torn apart, the Sassanid soldier was shocked, and he pulled out quickly, Cao Zhi flew up and kicked him on his thigh, kicking him crookedly, the Baipi knife reversed, the tip of the knife swept by, cut his blood vessels, blood burst out, and sprayed Cao Zhi's head and face. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Cao Zhi turned a blind eye, his head and face were already full of blood, and it didn't matter if there was one more layer, he held the knife in one hand, swung a spear, picked up the hook of his left hand, slammed it on the spearman's shoulder, waved the knife and then chopped, the war knife that had been cut into the mouth was cut on the soldier's shoulder armor, and half of the soldier's body was numb, but it was not necessarily fatal, Cao Zhi was furious, and built his backhand on his face with a knife ring, and shouted: "Change the knife!" Change the knife! ”

At this mistake, three Sassanid soldiers roared and rushed over, two spears and a war knife at the same time to Cao Zhi, this elegant-looking Han general was so fierce that he rushed to the city in a few breaths, and killed thirteen soldiers one after another, including a centurion, who were enraged by the blood of their companions and vowed to kill Cao Zhi to take revenge.

Cao Zhi was not afraid, pushed left and right, even split and swept, and killed three more people.

The Sassanids went crazy, and a centurion roared with a sword, and rushed over with a dozen or so soldiers, surrounding Cao Zhi and killing him. Cao Zhi killed two more people, but after all, the war knife was rolled up, and the power was greatly reduced, and two knives were missed in succession, and the Sassanids immediately took the lead.

"Change the knife!" Cao Zhi roared loudly, and on the other hand, he put the knife into the sheath, his left hand used a hook to frame a chopped war knife, and his right hand clenched his fist and struck out, hitting the face of the Sassanid man, and the paint shop was suddenly opened on his face. Cao Zhi snatched the knife with his backhand, slashed him with his hand, and chopped on a spear when there was no gap, and the war knife was slashed along the spear, and the Sassanid soldier was caught off, and three fingers were cut off, and he screamed in pain, and then a war knife came and solved his pain.

In a moment, dozens of people fell at the head of the city, and the two sides killed together, blood splattered everywhere, and the screams were endless, and the feet were slippery blood, and from time to time someone slipped and fell, and once they fell, it was equivalent to death, and they could not get up again.

Cao Zhi accidentally rushed forward too fast, and the guards distanced, and the Sassanians seized the opportunity, more than a dozen Sassanians rushed in, dividing them into two places, four or five Sassanians surrounded Cao Zhi and killed them, and more people blocked in front of the guards, resolutely not letting them come forward to meet Cao Zhi.

As soon as he gasped, there were three or four more wounds on Cao Zhi's body, one of which was rubbed under his ribs, and the blood quickly stained the robe, and the strength of his body seemed to pass quickly with the blood, and the war knife in Cao Zhi's hand slowed down. The Sassanids were overjoyed and attacked even more violently.

"General—" The guards who were just two paces away were so anxious that their eyes were red, and they rushed to this side desperately, but the Sassanids were willing to let them go, forming a wall of flesh, and resolutely refused to let them approach Cao Zhi. The guards paid for the lives of three people one after another, but they couldn't get a step closer to Cao Zhi, and watched Cao Zhi stumble under the attack of the Sassanids, tired of coping.

"Kill them." Ardashir, who was standing on the city tower, saw the situation here, sneered, waved his hand, and a team of heavily armored Praetorian Guards immediately ran over, they shouted loudly, pushed away their companions in front, and rushed straight to Cao Zhi, who was already kneeling on one leg.

Cao Zhi also saw the Praetorian Guards getting closer and closer, he took a long breath, suddenly stood up, raised his hand and threw out the war knife in his hand, the war knife rolled in the air, and slashed on the helmet of a heavily armored samurai in the lead, the fire splashed, although he failed to cut the helmet, but the power contained in the knife knocked the samurai to a stumble, and fell to the ground on his back. The companion behind him rushed over directly stepping on his body, and three spears pierced Cao Zhi's hook at the same time, so that Cao Zhi could not stand on his feet and slid backwards.

Cao Zhi shook the dantian qi, roared wildly, twisted his body violently, unloaded the power of the spear, pinched his right fist, and smashed it on the helmet of the nearest samurai, with a loud bang, the samurai's neck was crooked, and he broke his neck and fell to the ground. Cao Zhi didn't even look at him, his elbow slammed into the neck of another samurai, and with a "click", the samurai opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood, glanced at Cao Zhi in disbelief, and fell down softly.

Cao Zhi rose up and killed two people in a row, but at the same time he was stabbed in the left chest by a spear, he was wearing bright light armor, and his shiny cuirass was pierced and dented, he raised his hand to hold the spear shaft, and at the same time threw away the hook inlay in his hand, held the spear with both hands, and shouted, and actually lifted the samurai wearing heavy armor, and the spear shaft was bent into a bow by the heavy force, making an ugly moan, and breaking with a bang, the heavy armor samurai fell from the air again, smashing the two companions unstable and staggering. Cao Zhi seized the opportunity, rushed forward, and jammed a dazed samurai by the neck with a half-cut spear shaft, dragging him in front of him to cover him, and strode backwards.

The Sassanids screamed and swung their weapons at him, most of them hitting the heavy armor of the warrior who was about to roll his eyes, and the sound of Ding Ding was endless, but it could not hurt Cao Zhi.

Cao Zhi took two steps back, knocking away the Sassanid warriors who stood between him and his guards, and joined the guards. The Sassanids squeezed over like a steel wall, and although Cao Zhi's personal guards slashed with all their might, the weapon hit the heavy armor had no effect at all, but the other party just greeted, and Cao Zhi's personal guards lost more than half in an instant.

"Retreat to the siege engine!" Cao Zhi shouted with red eyes: "Retreat!" ”

The guards did not dare to slack off, and retreated to the bridge and ladder of the siege vehicle one after another, and a few who retreated more slowly were entangled by the Sassanids, and soon fell in a pool of blood. As soon as Cao Zhi's foot touched the bridge ladder, he kicked the Sassanid warrior's ass that had stuck out his tongue.

The samurai fell forward, was stabbed by an oncoming spear, shook it, fell from the high city wall, and fell to the ground with a "boom".

"Ahh He tapped the bridge ladder with the half-cut spear shaft in his hand, turned around and left, and just took two steps, his eyes were dark, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

When Cao Zhi opened his eyes again, he saw the concerned faces of Sun Feng, Li Yan and others.

"Ugh, I'm finally awake." Sun Feng saw that Cao Zhi opened his eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief. He stretched out his hand to hold down Cao Zhi, who was struggling to get up, and said with a smile: "General Cao, you are seriously injured, you have to take a good rest, and don't move for the time being, lest the wound crack again." ”

Needless to say, Cao Zhi had already had his mouth crooked by the sharp pain of the wound, he gasped, and it took him a long time to regain his breath. looked around and found that this was Sun Feng's big tent, and the candles had been lit, and it seemed that it was already dark.

"Finished fighting?"

"Not yet, but soon." Chen Hai grinned and said, "General Cao, I can't see that you are also a desperate man, you actually fought alone with the heavily armored warriors of the Sassanids, and killed four of them in one go, admiring and admiring." ”

"Admire a fart, didn't you get kicked down in the end? It's a pity for my good boys. Cao Zhi sighed, lay down weakly, looked at Sun Feng and said, "Prince, do you have any other tricks?" It's been three days of fighting, and we've done our best, and it seems that we can't break the city. Although the morale of the Sassanids suffered, the strength of the heavy battalion was not to be underestimated, and we were driven down by them several times in a row. ”

"That's true, I've failed three times." Li Yan nodded silently, reached out and gently patted Cao Zhi's shoulder to show his agreement.

"It's not just you, it's us." Ferroz also nodded: "I attacked it four times, and in the end, I couldn't bite those bastards who were burrowed in the turtle shell, so I could only retreat, and my guards died at least more than three hundred." ”

Lu Xun waved his hand and said with a quiet smile: "The prince has seen it, your losses are not small, and our losses are not small, five of the thirteen knights are seriously injured, and the others are all hung up." The Romans and Kushans also had the same problem, and they were also blocked by the Immortals. ”

"So, Ardashir can't hold it anymore?" Cao Zhi's eyes shone with joy.

"Exactly." Sun Feng smiled slightly: "After several days of fierce battles, our army's morale is strong, and the Sassanids can no longer hold on, and now only Ardashir's immortal army can still maintain its combat effectiveness." As long as we take out this army of immortals, we will win. ”

"How do you kill them?" Li Yan frowned slightly, "They are wearing heavy armor, we can't cut them, and the casualties are very large." ”

"I have a way." Sun Feng smiled and said, "You have all made great achievements, just wait to enter the city to celebrate." He turned to Cao Zhi and said, "General Cao, you are the most seriously injured, don't move around in the past two days, and recuperate with peace of mind, otherwise, you won't be able to drink the celebration wine." ”

"It's okay to celebrate the wine, what I want to know now is how you broke the city." Cao Zhi waved his hand and said impatiently: "Do you want to fight in person?" I know your martial arts skills are good, but can you kill all the Immortals? ”

"Of course it can't be." Sun Feng said: "However, I have the blessing of Ahula, Ardashir can't stop me." ”

"And—" Cao Zhi shrugged off.

Li Yan and the others didn't say anything when they saw Sun Feng, so it was not easy to ask. Sun Feng immediately invited Quintus, Bo Tiao and others to discuss. After Quintus and Bo divided the army, they attacked the city for several days, although they used their strength to eat, but they still failed to break the city, and the Han army that attacked the main gate, every time it was the most critical, the immortal army wearing heavy armor would go to the city to relieve the siege, they had heavy armor to protect the body, almost invincible, and could always squeeze down the Romans and Kushans who attacked the city again.

After a few successions, Quintus and Bo Tiao stopped attacking, and if they continued to fight like this, it would be useless to have more soldiers, not to mention that their troops were not abundant in the first place, if it weren't for Sun Feng's miracle protection, and even his clever hand to hit the morale of the Sassanids, they might not even be able to go up to the city.

"From tomorrow onwards, we will join forces and attack the main gate." Sun Feng didn't talk nonsense to them: "Everyone prepare to enter the city, prepare all the ballistas, and strive to wipe out the Immortal Army." ”

"If you get together, you can wipe out the Immortal Army?" Bo Tune said disapprerovingly.

"Absolutely." Sun Feng said confidently: "Ardashir is stubborn, he has to fight against the gods, who will die if he doesn't die?" The Immortal Army is his last reliance, and we just want to use this Immortal Army as his burial, which can be regarded as worthy of him. ”

"Since the prince already has a plan, then we will obey the order." Quintus said nonchalantly: "We are waiting to follow the prince into the city of Tessy and divide the wealth that Ardashir has collected for many years." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will not forget your credits." Sun Feng smiled.

Ardashir stood on the tower, watching the enemies outside the city gather again, a disdainful sneer on his lips. You can't take advantage of the siege separately, and it may not be effective to attack the city together, and you don't have a warrior stronger than my immortal army, so don't expect to be able to capture the city of Tessie. What is the human heart? As long as the Immortals remain loyal to me, others will have the right to weigh one or two even if they have different intentions. He then ordered the scattered Immortals to concentrate at the city gates, preparing to strike at the incoming enemy again.

After returning to the palace, he summoned the person in charge of monitoring the tunnels under the city gate to inquire about the movement under the city, but what puzzled him was that the city had been fighting a river of blood in the past few days, but there was no movement under the city at all, as if Sun Feng had forgotten about it.

Sun Feng can forget, but Ardashir does not dare to forget, he knows that this battle has reached the most critical time, Sun Feng has attacked the city several times in a row, the loss is not small, and if he can't break the city, he will have only one way to retreat, at this time, he is likely to do all his strength to do the final blow, he gathered the Romans and Kushans near the city gate, obviously this intention.

At the same time, Ardashir was still concerned about the battle outside the city, he had received news from Awad, knowing that although the attack during the day was not very smooth, it was decent, at least he did not suffer any losses, for Awad, this is already rare, it is impossible to expect him to win by surprise, he is not Shapur after all, even Alpha is much stronger than him. As soon as he thought of these two sons, Ardashir's heart was like a knife, and he twitched for a while, and his hatred for Sun Shao also increased a little.

Five miles north of the city, the fire was faintly visible, Ardashir knew that it was Awad and Sun Shao in a bloody battle, in order to get through the defensive position under Sun Shaobu as soon as possible, Awad decided to attack overnight. Ardashir has no objection to this, Awad has superior forces and can take turns to rest, while Sun Shao's troops are insufficient, so he can only go all out at this time, and the battle situation still has an advantage over Awad, as long as Awad does not make mistakes, this battle can at least be guaranteed not to lose.

The two sides play against each other, as long as they don't make obvious mistakes and don't give each other a chance to take advantage of, basically they have to rely on strength to speak in the end, which Ardashir is convinced of. Awad's strength was prudence, which was one of the reasons why Ardashir kept him in charge of his army even after his defeat.

Outside the city, the lights on the horse rejection array were bright, and the command platforms of both sides were lit with lights, but the Sassanids lit torches, while Sun Shao lit the wind lanterns. Sun Shao held on to the railing, looked at the Sassanid cavalry formation in the distance, and then looked at the Sassanians who were still trying to move forward in the horse rejection array, estimated the progress, turned to Sima Shi and said, "Are Biqiu Jian and Zhao Feng here?" ”

"I've notified them, and they should be there soon." Sima Shi bowed and replied.

Sun Shao answered, walked back and forth on the stage twice, and saw Bi Zhao and Zhao coming side by side on horseback, throwing stirrups outside the camp and dismounting, and striding into the camp. They went to the podium and bowed to the side of the stage and clenched their fists:

"Dragoon Zuo Sima Chenjian greets the king!"

"Dragoon Right Sima Chen pays a greeting to the king!"

"Come, sit!" Sun Shao pointed to the seats in the center of the command platform and motioned for them to sit down. Biqiu Jian and Zhao Feng were also not polite, they both sat down, straightened up, put their hands on their laps, and looked at Sun Shao intently.

"You have also seen the battle situation ahead, the Sassanids attacked overnight, and they will not give up if they do not break my rejection formation." Sun Shao smiled lightly: "So, you probably didn't sleep well today, so you have to find some trouble for them and reduce the pressure of the horse rejection formation." ”

"The ministers obey the king's orders, and are willing to serve the king." Biqiu Jian clenched his fists and said loudly.

"King, how are we going to attack?" Zhao Feng asked.

"It's simple, rush out from the wings and kill their majesty." Sun Shao pointed to the Sassanids on the opposite side, and then pointed to the river on both sides: "I have already informed the sailors to cover you, you just need to control the distance, don't break away from the cover of the sailors' arrow array, and don't be entangled by the Sassanids." If the Sassanids go out, you will return. Note that harassment is the main thing, killing the enemy is secondary, and don't fall in love with war. ”

"What if the Sassanids don't chase after them?" Biqiu Jian hesitated for a moment and asked loudly.

"If you don't chase it, then do it again." Sun Shao said with a smile: "The Sassanids have suffered a lot of losses in the horse rejection formation, if they see you fighting, there is no reason for them not to pursue, as long as they kill you, they can go around to the back of the formation to attack, where is there still our way to live." ”

Biqiu Jian blushed and didn't say anything more. Sun Shao glanced at him appreciatively: "Are you Wenxiren?" ”

Biqiu Jian was stunned for a moment, nodded, he obeyed Su Thick's arrangement, and brought more than a thousand Liaodong iron horsemen to Sun Shao as a personal guard, although he had seen Sun Shao countless times, but he had not spoken to Sun Shao in private, and suddenly heard him ask, he was a little excited for a while, and said after a while: "Exactly, the minister is Wen Xiren." ”

"I heard that you joined the Liaodong Army without telling your father?"

"Yes." Biqiu Jian replied with some embarrassment: "But my father doesn't blame me now." ”

"Fathers are all for the good of their sons, you have made meritorious contributions and been promoted in Liaodong, which means that your choice is right, and he naturally won't blame you." Sun Shao paused, and then said: "Work hard, strive to make another meritorious service, make meritorious service, and make your father proud of you." ”

When Biqiu Jian heard this, his blood immediately boiled, and he responded violently.
