How could it be ......!

How so?!

Muttering to herself, Liu Qing involuntarily held her head and looked at the faintly visible beautiful shadow in the distance with an incredulous gaze.

6 days ......

It's been six days!

Six days ago, she Liu Qing had planned all this today, and all the previous plans were to serve today, and they were all to eradicate the eldest grandson Xiangyu, a woman whose wisdom was almost demonic, today.

For the eldest grandson Xiangyu, the real behind-the-scenes hero who assisted Xie An and Li Shou to pacify the rebels in the west, Liu Qing spent a long time understanding this woman's character and temperament, trying to find out her weaknesses.

However, even Liu Qing has to admit that the eldest grandson Xiangyu can indeed be called a perfect woman, noble in birth, unparalleled in appearance, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, reading through the words of all the sons, scheming, deep in the city, powerful and scheming, means, and ruthless when necessary, if summed up in one sentence, this woman is simply impeccable.

The more she learned about the eldest grandson Xiangyu, the more shocked Liu Qing became, because she never thought that people could be perfect to this extent.

Doesn't this woman have the slightest weakness?

After carefully studying the Battle of Jizhou and the Battle of the Western Frontier, two battles handled by the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Liu Qing finally found a few clues.

In Liu Qing's opinion, it is almost impossible to defeat the eldest grandson Xiangyu in terms of wisdom, because this woman's intuition is too alert and too sharp, even if there is some trouble, it may make her perceive something.

And more importantly, even Liu Qing herself did not have the confidence to fight this woman in resourcefulness

Because of this, Liu Qing changed his tactics, since he couldn't calculate the eldest grandson Xiangyu, wouldn't it be good to deliberately pretend to fall for this woman's scheme?

From the rain flooding Jiangling in Changsun Xiang to Liu Qing's instigation of Li Yan, the king of Chu, to go to the Sichuan Valley to die, Liu Qing made various moves to try to break through the valley as Changsun Xiangyu envisioned.

In order to avoid exposing her true intentions as much as possible, Liu Qing didn't even tell Chen Bei, Yang Yu and other people closest to her, not to mention Xu Le, Feng Xi and others.

Everyone, including many Taiping army generals, thought that Liu Qing was planning to break through from the valley

Even, even the generals of the Zhou army were deceived.

The eldest grandson Xiangyu guessed correctly, Liu Qing never planned to break through from the valley from the beginning, because Liu Qing knew very well that the eldest grandson Xiangyu would never let her lead the main force of the Taiping Army to leave the valley and go to join Li Shen, the king of Qin.

Therefore, when Liu Qing saw this death valley on the marching map, she had a premonition that she would start the final decisive battle with the eldest grandson Xiangyu here. To be more precise, it should be the eldest grandson Xiangyu who is bound to force her to this valley of death. After all, if she Liu Qing was placed in the position of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, she Liu Qing would do it.

After perceiving this, Liu Qing walked into the place of death step by step according to the hope of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, whether it was instigating Li Yan, the king of Chu, to go to the Sichuan Valley to die, or agreeing to Wei Xuan's so-called suggestion to send troops to attack the southern camp of the Zhou army, the purpose was to make the eldest grandson Xiangyu firmly believe that her Liu Qing's real intention was to break through.

For this reason, Liu Qing constantly sent the army behind the palace to gradually weaken the forces around him in the process of pretending to break through, deliberately creating the appearance of being weak and weak, all in order to draw out the eldest grandson Xiangyu.

After all, a strategist like the eldest grandson Xiangyu would never leave the Chinese army commander lightly in most cases, unless she mistakenly thought that she would win the battle.

Facts have proved that everything Liu Qing predicted was accurate, and the eldest grandson Xiangyu did ask Ma Dan to set fire to the mountain, forcing her Liu Qing to the Absolute Life Valley.

At that moment, compared to the pale and frightened look on the face of the Taiping Army general beside her, Liu Qing really wanted to laugh out loud, because she had already guessed that Eldest Sun Xiangyu had such a move, and more precisely, only if Eldest Sun Xiangyu really did this, she Liu Qing could lead the remaining four thousand soldiers to escape into the Absolute Life Valley to carry out her real plan.

As for whether the eldest grandson Xiangyu would also perceive in advance that the two of them would start the final decisive battle in this Peerless Valley like she Liu Qing did, Liu Qing also expected it, she believed that with the wisdom of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, she would guess it, so in the process of the eldest grandson Xiangyu trying to force her Liu Qing step by step to the Peerless Valley, Liu Qing was also secretly deploying his own plan.

Everything went well, the eldest grandson Xiangyu really came, and even with her husband Xie An, a man who was even more powerful than Li Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, with the last 5,000 soldiers of their southern camp, they rushed to the Peerless Valley happily, trying to block her Liu Qing here, but they didn't expect that there was a reinforcement army of Yan Lei, the six god generals, behind him.

It can be said that she Liu Qing calculated all the reactions of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, but unfortunately, she guessed the beginning and the passage, but she guessed the wrong result... ・・・

Compared with the ten Mo family organ crossbows and five thousand crossbowmen, the thousands of Zhou army crossbowmen on the cliff behind him made Liu Qing feel even more disheartened, because this meant that the eldest grandson Xiangyu not only thought of forcing her Liu Qing to death here six days ago, but even thought of her Liu Qing is very likely to plan and in turn force her eldest grandson Xiangyu to die here.

In fact, under the premise of considering the latter possibility, the eldest grandson Xiangyu began a game with Liu Qing.

One step, the eldest grandson Xiangyu just took one more step into consideration than Liu Qing, but the meaning of the whole thing is completely different, it is not that Liu Qing is calculating her while knowing that the eldest grandson Xiangyu is calculating her Liu Qing, but that the eldest grandson Xiangyu will calculate her eldest grandson Xiangyu when he knows that her eldest grandson Xiangyu is calculating her Liu Qing, and then calculating her Liu Qing in turn.

It looks very awkward, but to sum it up, it is a sentence, the eldest grandson Xiangyu thought about it one more layer than Liu Qing, and this layer caused Liu Qing not only to lose the entire battle, but also to lose quite miserably.

The eldest grandson Xiangyu is very arrogant, but this sentence is also suitable for Liu Qing. Her appetite is too big, she wants to swallow the eldest grandson Xiangyu in one bite, and she wants to decide the entire battle through a battle. Otherwise, with the 50,000 Taiping troops in her hands and the 40,000 soldiers in the hands of Li Yan, the king of Chu, even if she fought the Zhou army head-on, she would not fall to the point where the current army was almost completely annihilated.

In fact, if Liu Qing's heart is not so big, it is not that! He had the spirit of adventure, and cooperated with the 40,000 soldiers of Li Yan, the king of Chu, although he basically did not reverse the victory or defeat under the nose of Sun Xiangyu, but at least he would not be defeated so quickly and so completely.

Perhaps, this is the biggest difference between the eldest grandson Xiangyu and Liu Qing, the eldest grandson Xiangyu likes excitement, but never does anything that he is not sure of.

If you are not completely sure, even if you have a 50% chance of winning the battle, this woman will never send troops easily.

Stability, stability and stability, this is the most critical word in the art of war pursued by the eldest grandson Xiangyu, if she can't win, she will never send troops, accumulate strength and wait for the best opportunity.

But Liu Qing is different, although she is usually as cautious as her eldest grandson Xiangyu, but she will gamble on the fifty percent chance of winning. Of course, the gambling referred to here is completely different from Liao Li's practice of only knowing advance and not retreating, but whether she will gamble on the possibility in her heart when she encounters a clever strategist like Changsun Xiangyu.

But in any case, Liu Qing lost the gamble this time, and she lost completely, and I am afraid that she will even have to lose her life.

It's not that Liu Qing is far away from Sun Xiangyu, after all, Liu Qing was on the absolutely disadvantageous side at the beginning, and it is quite remarkable that she can do this. If it weren't for the eldest grandson Xiangyu, I'm afraid that even Li Xian would have fallen for her Liu Qing's scheme, and was killed by Chen Hao in this Peerless Valley, so that Liu Qing would have reversed the situation in which the Zhou army had the upper hand.

In fact, even the eldest grandson Xiangyu has already acquiesced that Liu Qing is probably the only smart woman in the world who can keep up with her, and this intelligence is completely different from Qin Ke'er's intelligence.

But even so, Liu Qing has nothing to do now・・・・・・

In front of the Zhou army, there were ten Mojia organ crossbows and 5,000 crossbowmen, and there were thousands of Zhou army crossbowmen on the cliff in the back, even if Qin Wei, the commander of Hanhan Guguan back then, who was a straw bag in the eyes of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, commanded the army, it was impossible for Liu Qing to have any chance of turning the tables.

"Suddenly, I feel that it is not interesting to win the land......" Looking at the Taiping sergeant who had shaken his heart against the army, Changsun Xiangyu sighed slightly and muttered in a low voice.

Xie An was paying attention to the battlefield and didn't hear it, but Qin Ke'er was paying attention to the eldest grandson Xiangyu, hearing this sister's words, Qin Ke'er was a little surprised, and asked suspiciously, "Hasn't my sister always wanted to win Liu Qing?" ”

"Huh!" The eldest grandson, Xiangyu, smiled faintly and did not speak.

I have to say that fighting wits with Liu Qing really gave her great pleasure, and the fun of competing with people with the same wisdom is indeed something that Changsun Xiangyu has never felt.

This is different from the competition between her and Xie An a few years ago, the reason why Xie An could make the eldest grandson Xiangyu deflated was because Xie An had endless strange tricks.

For example, Xie An once played a small game with his eldest grandson Xiangyu and asked the latter to learn his movements.

Pour two glasses of water, Xie An picked up one of the cups and took a sip, the eldest grandson Xiangyu also followed the cat and the tiger, and also picked up another cup to take a sip, after looking at each other for more than ten breaths, Xie An spit out the saliva in his mouth back to the cup, and then the eldest grandson Xiangyu was completely dumbfounded, because she had already swallowed the saliva.

This is the reason why the eldest grandson Xiangyu is infatuated with Xie An, because Xie An can always come up with some strange tricks that the world can't think of, and even she can't figure it out. But does this have anything to do with the level of wisdom? No!

If he and his wife really competed before they learned, none of the ten Xie An would be the opponents of the eldest grandson Xiangyu. Of course, except for sexual affairs, in this matter, the eldest grandson Xiangyu was always the first to beg for mercy, and said unceremoniously, ten of her tied together can't be evened Xie An, after all, this woman's body is too delicate, almost the type that will fall when the wind blows.

Because of this, the eldest grandson Xiangyu cherishes this opportunity to compete with Liu Qing, and in fact, Liu Qing did not disappoint the eldest grandson Xiangyu, but the more this is the case, the more lost the eldest grandson Xiangyu is in his heart at this moment.

She would subconsciously wonder if she would still be able to defeat Liu Qing if she hadn't met Xie An, or if Liu Qing's situation was not so unfavorable at the beginning.

In this regard, the eldest grandson Xiangyu did not have much confidence, after all, although she thought of one step more than Liu Qing, but what really restricted Liu Qing's fierce general Chen Bei and his three hundred Tianfu soldiers under his command was the ten mechanical crossbows, if there were no ten mechanical crossbows, I am afraid that Chen Bei would have already killed her eldest grandson Xiangyu.

Without Xie An, the eldest grandson Xiangyu would not have been able to understand what gears, springs, and belts are called gears, springs, and belts from the incomplete Mohist books, as well as the importance of these small things in the field of mechanics, and how to restore the Mohist crossbows, or even improve them.

"Victory is not martial・・・・・・" sighed slightly, and the eldest grandson Xiangyu sat back on the soft couch on the battle array, comforting the little girl Wang Xin, who was still a little scared.

Because she knew what was going on, it wasn't her turn to intervene, for example, to kill Chen Bei.

This is not considerate or empathetic, but the eldest grandson Xiangyu knows very well that her husband Xie An will not like to point fingers at Chen Bei.

A smart woman must also know how to judge the situation and know how to advance and retreat when dealing with the relationship between husband and wife, which is no less important than the battlefield.

And Qin Ke'er also seemed to realize something, and sat quietly beside the eldest grandson Xiangyu, as if her third daughter was an outsider to this battle.

But compared to the longer Sun Xiangyu and Qin Ke'er, Xie An's mood at this moment was definitely not calm, because he knew that when the Taiping Army was forced into such a desperate situation, there would definitely be a man who stood up.

And what he needs to do as the commander in chief is to snipe this person and cut off the last hope of the Taiping Army!

Kill his wife's cousin, Chen Bei......

Taking a deep breath, Xie An calmly gave the order.

"The crossbowman took fifty steps forward, but the bolt was not fired, and the crossbow cart was ready to replace the arrow magazine・・・・・・"

When the order was given, Chen Bei's hands clenched the wooden railing of the chariot, and his knuckles turned blue and white because he was too hard.

It's no wonder Xie An's mood is so heavy, after all, if the first arrow box of the ten machine crossbows is to deter the Taiping army and interrupt the momentum of this army trying to fight against the water, then the latter arrow box is for! One person ・・・・・・!

A whole 20,000 crossbow arrows, just to snipe one person, a peerless warrior like no other in the world!

It takes about a dozen seconds to replace the arrow box, or about three to five minutes, in the words of later generations.

There will be a relatively short pause after the ten mechanical crossbows shoot the empty crossbow arrows, and this is Chen Bei's last chance......

Unless Chen Bei can kill these ten machine crossbows in just a few dozen breaths, with countless arrows from the five thousand crossbowmen in front of him and the thousands of crossbowmen above the cliff behind him, Liu Qing, Chen Bei, the three hundred Tianfu soldiers, and the nearly four thousand Taiping troops here will all die here.

Surrender, big brother......

Xie An said secretly in his heart.

"Throw in the towel?" At the same time, Chen Bei was smiling and stroking Liu Qing's head, because the latter really looked lost.

“… Liu Qing looked up at Chen Bei blankly, at this moment, her mind was full of things about her loss to the eldest grandson Xiangyu, where could she still hear Chen Bei's words.

"It's okay, there's still Brother Chen!" Rubbing Liu Qing's hair heavily, Chen Bei smiled and said, "No matter what, Brother Chen will take you out to kill ・・・・・・"

“… Although she didn't hear Chen Bei's words clearly, Liu Qing still noticed something from Chen Bei's resolute eyes, and subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab Chen Bei, but unfortunately, after Chen Bei said this, he rode his horse to the front.

No... ・・・

Don't go for ......

Brother Chen, don't go......

Looking at Chen Bei, who was gradually moving away, Liu Qing stretched out her trembling right hand, and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she felt that her throat couldn't make the slightest sound.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, you're ready to break through!" A Tianfu military commander rode over and grabbed the reins of Liu Qing's horse with one hand.

"My sons of the Taiping Army!" Standing in front of the formation, Chen Bei raised his arms and shouted, "Her Royal Highness the princess, who has the blood of the Southern Tang royal family, is the hope of our army!" ―Now, whatever you say, you will take Her Royal Highness the princess out and kill her! Are you waiting to be killed, and finally shot by Zhou Jun and died unjustly, or do you use this body of flesh and blood to defend Her Royal Highness the princess to the death? ! - Tell Ben Shuai! ”

Hearing Chen Bei's words, the nearly 4,000 Taiping soldiers who seemed to have been stripped of their backbone once again had a raging battle intent in their eyes. I have to say that Chen Bei's prestige in the Taiping Army is no less than the Liangqiu Dance in the minds of the Great Zhou Army.

"Swear to protect Her Royal Highness the princess!"

"Swear to follow Chen Shuai to the death!"

"Swear to protect Her Royal Highness the princess!"

"Swear to follow Chen Shuai to the death!"

Perhaps, the descendants of the Liangqiu family are really born generals, and no one can be the personal charm in the army.

"Excellent! Then Ben Shuai himself will be the vanguard, and you will follow closely behind・・・・・・ where is the Tianfu Army?! ”

"Oh!" For nearly three hundred days, the soldiers of Tianfu raised their arms and shouted, as if they were not frightened by the ten crossbows at all.

The tiger's eyes swept around, Chen Bei took the two iron guns handed by his subordinates, closed his eyes and exhaled and breathed.

At the same time, the 5,000 crossbowmen of the Zhou army seemed to sense something, and their faces showed a little shock, and they hurriedly loaded their crossbow arrows, and waited for the fierce battle that was about to come.

Only the ten Mo family crossbows that couldn't stop spitting out crossbow arrows halfway still didn't stop.

"Tutubu-!!"

"Tutubu-!!"

"Tutu...... Dodo...... Sudden ......"

Eventually, the ten mechanical repeaters stopped firing their bolts, and although the repeaters were still operating, none of them were left.

The 2,000 crossbows in one arrow box were finally gone・・・・・・

At the same time, Chen Bei, who was breathing with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and listened to Xiongdi's body, and a wave of qi exploded around his body, and the flame-like qi was even more intense than when he was in the valley.

"Rush!!"

The spear that raised his right arm pointed at Zhou Jun, and Chen Bei grabbed the horse's belly and rushed out first. Subsequently, two hundred of the three hundred Tianfu troops followed Chen Bei closely, and the remaining dozens of people guarded Liu Qing to the death.

"Kill!!"

Four thousand Taiping troops also charged.

For a time, the momentum of the Taiping army obviously overwhelmed the Zhou army, but the Zhou army, on the other hand, was as pale as the earth, and looked panicked.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! ”

"I'm done shooting my crossbow bolts, hurry up and get ready to change the magazine!"

"Hold, hold! - Be sure to hold on to the crossbow until the receiver is replaced

It's no wonder that after all, looking at Chen Bei's fierce appearance as if he was covered in a flame, not many people can still keep their composure.

And at this moment, Xie An's calm shout came from Zhou Jun's side.

"Don't panic! The Taiping army will be defeated! -- The first and second teams are ready to release arrows, and the rest of the strings are not ......"

Sergeant Zhou glanced back at Xie An in astonishment, after all, in their impressions, this kind commander rarely commanded a battle in person.

"What do you do? -- First team, second team...... Shoot the arrows! ”

With a wave of Xie An's right hand, the nearly 1,000 crossbowmen of the first and second teams of the Zhou army half-squatted on the ground and launched a round of fierce fire towards the charging Taiping army.

Seeing this, Xie An shouted again, "The first and second teams spread out to both sides and loaded the crossbow arrows, and the third and fourth teams stepped forward and the third team prepared...... Put! ”

"Ding Ding Ding Ding-!!"

Wielding two iron spears at the same time, shooting down thousands of crossbow arrows, Chen Bei glanced at the Zhou army crossbowmen who were scattered to both sides with some consternation.

Crossbow arrows, in the case of medium distances, the lethality is far from being comparable to bows and arrows, however, crossbowmen have a fatal weakness, that is, it takes time to load crossbow arrows, to put it bluntly, after the crossbowmen shoot arrows, they are almost powerless to fight back, at this time, if Chen Bei kills forward, it will definitely be able to disrupt the formation of the Zhou army.

However, Xie An was very clever enough to tell the first and second teams of Zhou soldiers to scatter to both sides after shooting the arrows. If it was in normal times, this trick would have no effect at all, but at the moment, it made Chen Bei feel a lot of headaches.

After all, every second counts against the Taiping Army, and it is impossible for Chen Bei, who is trying to break through, to change direction and kill those crossbowmen who have no strength to fight back at the moment, because! What he was really afraid of was not those crossbowmen, but those ten crossbows, if he Chen Bei went to hunt down the two Zhou crossbowmen who had finished shooting crossbows and had no strength to fight back, it would inevitably delay his breakthrough time.

Therefore, Chen Bei could only watch as the two Zhou crossbowmen spread out to both sides, and watched them load their crossbow arrows as they dispersed.

Although I already know it, it's really annoying! My cousin-in-law......

"Smart ・・・・・・" Behind Xie An, the eldest grandson Xiangyu looked at Xie An's formation and praised it softly.

Sometimes, even the eldest grandson Xiangyu is very puzzled, wondering that his husband has obviously not learned any art of war, but for the use of various types of troops, he is quite ingenious - in place, especially good at decent offensive and defensive battles, as if he is an experienced veteran.

"Three teams stepped back, loaded with arrows, and four teams stepped forward... ・・・Put! ”

"Four teams stepped back, loaded with arrows, and three teams stepped forward... ・・・Put! ”

During Chen Bei's desperate charge, Xie An shouted with all his might, giving orders to the Zhou troops under his command.

"Is this a two-stage shot?" The corners of the eldest grandson Xiangyu's mouth raised a somewhat inexplicable smile, and beside her, Qin Ke'er looked at Xie An's back in surprise.

He...... I used to command the army......

Seeing Xie An calmly giving the general order, commanding his crossbowmen to shoot the Taiping soldiers who were trying to break through in an orderly manner, Qin Ke'er was surprised in his heart, after all, Xie An had never shown her his level of commanding soldiers and horses.

But it's no wonder that in Xie An's Liang army at that time, there was Liang Cheng, a general who was also good at commanding soldiers and horses. He Xie An is a civilian official and a commander, and it is enough to reconcile the relationship between the generals and stabilize the morale of the soldiers. If you do everything yourself, then what else do you want Liang Cheng to do?

But the current situation is more special, Ma Dan, who could have metabolized An's command of the soldiers and horses, has already led his troops to the rear to block the Taiping Army's light-shaking god general Yan Lei, so Xie An can only personally command his soldiers.

As the eldest grandson Xiangyu knew, her husband Xie An was good at defending, especially with this kind of decent defense, several crossbowmen dominated the orders back and forth, and the Taiping army suffered heavy casualties, which was really unexpected by Qin Ke'er.

Because in Qin Ke'er's impression, Xie An is the kind of civilian commander who simply sits and waits for meritorious service, except for his extraordinary personal charm and ability to make his soldiers die to the ground, there should be nothing outstanding about it.

However, even though Xie An's performance was very good, Chen Bei still rushed to the front of Zhou Jun's three teams... ・・・

"Three teams move to both sides!" Xie An immediately shouted.

Again?!

Chen Bei glanced at Xie An, who was commanding the troops and horses on the chariot in the distance, rather depressed, knowing that he originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos of the Zhou army's formation to break up and disrupt the entire formation of the Zhou army. After all, if the Zhou army in front turned around and fled, it would undoubtedly make the Zhou crossbowmen in the rear throw their rat traps, and they would not dare to dump crossbow arrows wantonly, so as not to accidentally injure friendly troops.

But Xie An was good, seeing that Chen Bei was about to kill near the third team of crossbowmen of the Zhou army, he repeated the trick and directly caused the nearly 1,000 crossbowmen to scatter on both sides, which made Chen Bei fall into an embarrassing dilemma.

The dilemma of chasing or not chasing is secondary, and the problem is that after the third team of Zhou crossbowmen dispersed to both sides, there was another open space between Chen Bei and the fourth team of Zhou crossbowmen, allowing the Zhou army to pour crossbow arrows at will.

Even if he has a very good relationship with Xie An, Chen Bei can't help but secretly scold his mother in his heart at this moment, after all, Xie An's move is simply too shameless, and it is expected that the Taiping army, which is determined to race against time, will not dare to chase after the scattered Zhou soldiers, thus delaying the opportunity to break through.

"Four teams stepped back, loaded with arrows, and five teams stepped forward... ・・・Put! ”

"Five teams stepped back, loaded with arrows, and four teams stepped forward... ・・・Put! ”

"Team 1, Team 2, Team 3 Free Fire!"

I have to say that Xie An's kite tactics inflicted a great blow on the Taiping army.

He couldn't touch the Zhou army, but the Zhou army could shoot his own soldiers wantonly, which made the Taiping soldiers suffer a great blow.

But even so, Chen Bei still led his corporal to rush to the position of the fourth team of crossbowmen of the Zhou army, and at this time, the four thousand soldiers under his command were almost two thousand.

Closer, closer......

The Zhou army did not have time to load the crossbow bolts and fire another round of fire・・・・・・

Calculating the distance, Chen Bei subconsciously clenched the spear in his hand.

"Let's see what else you have to do!" Chen Bei muttered rather depressedly.

However, at this moment, I heard Xie An shouting loudly, "Fourth team, fifth team, throw all the crossbows and quiver arrows in your hands to me!" - Lost! ”

"Lost ...... Lose? The crossbowmen of the Zhou army of the fourth and fifth teams were stunned.

One of the thousand generals reacted quickly, and after throwing the arrows in the crossbow and quiver in his hand towards the Taiping army, he immediately took out a short sword from his boots from his crouching down and shouted, "Prepare for white-knuckle combat!" ”

Hearing this, the crossbowmen of the Zhou army of the fourth and fifth teams suddenly realized, and after following the example of the thousand-man general, they threw everything they could throw to the Taiping army, and pulled out their short swords.

You must know that in the regular armies of the Great Zhou Dynasty, such as the Jizhou soldiers and the Great Liang Army, each soldier will carry a short sword to deal with emergencies encountered on weekdays, but in most cases, this short sword is just to cut meat during meals and cut dead branches and weeds on the road when marching.

“… Qin Ke'er glanced at Xie An with some surprise, and then glanced at the smiling and silent eldest grandson Xiangyu, and secretly sighed in his heart.

What doesn't work is no different from not existing・・・・・・

It's really, it's not a family, it's not a family...

What a willingness, two thousand crossbows......

If you say it's lost, you lose it......

I don't know who he and his wife learned... ・・・

Qin Ke'er couldn't laugh or cry, but she had to admit that Xie An's move was really clever, knowing that the crossbowmen under his command had no time to load the crossbow arrows, she simply let them throw away the crossbows in their hands, and threw them at the Taiping army with the crossbows in the quivers. In this way, not only did the momentum of the Taiping army's charge stun, but also made these two thousand crossbowmen no longer look like each other! Fang has no strength to resist.!

It's really powerful......

Muttering, Qin Ke'er felt a trace of sweetness in her heart for some reason.

"Hold on! - Defend it at all costs! Xie An raised his arms and shouted.

"Oh!" It may be because Fang Cai, under the command of Xie An, shot and killed a large number of Taiping soldiers with extremely small losses, and the morale of the Zhou army was greatly boosted, and he dared to block in front of Chen Bei even though he only had a short sword.

"......" Vaguely, Chen Bei's eyes were a little unbearable.

At this time, he was no longer as naïve as he was when he was in Luoyang, but he still felt uncomfortable in his heart, after all, he knew very well that two thousand Zhou soldiers with only one short sword would definitely not be able to stop Chen Bei.

But at this moment, there was nothing else he could do.

Suddenly, Xie An felt a small hand on his right shoulder, and when he turned his head, he found that the eldest grandson Xiangyu had come to him at some point, looking at him gently.

"If necessary, use the army like mud! ―Usually Lord Riefu-kun treats his soldiers well, never owes anything, and that's enough! This is the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while! ”

“… Glancing at the eldest grandson Xiangyu with a worried look on his face, Xie An nodded slightly.

And at this moment, the voice of a general made Xie An's face change slightly.

"Handsome! - Ten trap repeaters have been replaced! ”

“… Hearing this, Xie An subconsciously clenched his fists.

After all, I still haven't caught up......

Uncle......

"Husband-sama!" The eldest grandson, Xiangyu, held Xie An's hand and reminded in a relatively low tone, "If the husband can't open this mouth, the concubine is willing to do it for you!" ”

“… As if hearing something terrible, Xie An glanced at the eldest grandson Xiangyu deeply, and there was a bit of sadness in his eyes, which made the eldest grandson Xiangyu slightly shocked in his heart.

"Hu ・・・・・・" seemed to realize his gaffe, Xie An let out a long breath, and after glancing apologetically at Changsun Xiangyu, he raised his left hand and waved it violently.

"Aim at the man who charged...... Put! ”

"Tutubu-!!"

The voice heard again after a long absence.

"Poof......

With the sound of a crossbow bolt entering his body, Chen Bei fought hard with two guns in his hand, and glanced at the crossbow bolt on his chest in shock.

This distraction was so deadly, only to hear two sudden sounds, Chen Bei's chest once again had two more crossbow arrows, and when they didn't enter his body, the tail of the crossbow bolts still trembled.

"Dashuai!"

"Chen Shuai?!"

The faces of the surrounding Taiping soldiers changed drastically.

But seeing Chen Bei laughing, he roared fiercely, "Just a few crossbow arrows, and you also want to take Ben Shuai's life?!" ―What a! ”

As he spoke, he sent a Zhou soldier flying several feet with a single shot, and shouted vigorously, "It's just one step away, everyone, rush over!" ”

"Chen Shuai・・・・・・" Chen Bei's more than 100 Tianfu soldiers beside him showed an eerie silence, and after half a sound, a roar like an earth-shattering roar suddenly erupted.

"Protect Chen Shuai!"

With a hissing shout, more than 100 Tianfu soldiers surrounded Chen Bei tightly, and actually used their own flesh and blood to block arrows for Chen Bei. 、

"Tutubu-!!"

The ten Mo family crossbows poured crossbows without stopping, and for a while, the Tianfu soldiers around Chen Bei were all with arrows, especially the dozen or so who rushed to the front, they were actually hit by dozens of arrows, and their entire chests were almost full of arrows.

But despite this, they still gritted their teeth and persevered, pinching the reins of their horses.

"Plop...... Plop ......"

Although some of the Tianfu soldiers who rushed to the front fell to the ground and died one after another, for every time one person was broken, another person stepped forward without hesitation and used his body to block the arrow for Chen Bei.

"Kill it! - In any case, I will also lead Her Royal Highness the princess out of the siege."

Raising his arms and shouting, Chen Bei's voice was still so loud, it was hard to imagine that this was actually from the mouth of a fierce general who was shot in the fatal part of the heart.

"Oh!" The remaining Taiping troops shouted in unison, completely overwhelming the Zhou army in momentum.

However, Xie An couldn't bear to look away.

100 steps ・・・・・・

Chen Bei was still about a hundred steps away from the ten Mo family machine crossbows, although it seemed to be a blink of an eye, but ......

Did you really rush to the ground?

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer Tianfu soldiers around Chen Bei to block arrows for him, Xie An only felt bitterness in his mouth.

How can a human flesh and blood body compete with a product that gathers the essence of the Mo family, such as the mechanical crossbow?

Finally, beside Chen Bei, there was no more Tianfu soldier left・・・・・・

"Tutubu-!!"

Ten mechanical crossbows were still pouring crossbow arrows, and Chen Bei was still wielding the two iron spears in his hand to block the crossbow arrows, counting the crossbow arrows in his body, there were more than ten crossbow arrows・・・・・・

"Boom!"

Finally, a mechanical repeater was destroyed by Chen Bei・・・・・・

Second ......

Third ......

Under the shocked gazes of Xie An and the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Chen Bei forcibly destroyed the last mechanical crossbow, even though his whole body was full of crossbow arrows.

"There are no more ・・・・・・ obstacles to our waiting!" Under the frightened gaze of countless Zhou soldiers nearby, Chen Bei, who was covered in blood, still sat firmly on the war horse, and glanced at the trembling Zhou soldiers around him.

"Hahaha, hahahaha!"

Looking at the frightened Zhou soldiers around him who didn't dare to step forward, Chen Bei laughed loudly, during this period, none of the Zhou soldiers dared to step forward to stop him.

"Go, brethren! Kill it! Ben Shuai wants to see who dares to stop me and wait! - I am invincible! ”

"Oh!!"

The remaining hundreds of Taiping soldiers shouted excitedly and inexplicably, but the Zhou army, on the other hand, looked at each other with a shocked face.

One person, after dying all the guards, still killed dozens of enemy troops, destroyed all the crossbows, and cleared all the obstacles for Liu Qing's breakthrough in the rear・・・・・・

Is this really something that people can do?
