Chapter 488: No Regrets
Chapter 488: No regrets
If a heavy battle axe that is about half a meter wide has countless gaps in it, then how many people's blood is stained on this axe? How many people's bones were chopped? How many people's weapons have been cut off?
Wu Tianxi, who still had half a spear hanging on his calf, wiped the blood on his face, took a breath through the short gap, and the air mixed with the smell of blood entered his nose, and he felt a little more comfortable mentally. Mentally alone, he could no longer move his tomahawk, which showed that his physical fatigue had reached a certain point. Only one battle, Wu Tianxi's bloody smell and murderous aura on his body could not be washed away for a lifetime.
Too many people died under his tomahawk, and what he stepped on was not the earth, but a half-human-high pile of corpses, because of the huge power of the tomahawk, it was basically difficult to find a whole corpse in these corpses, and the most complete corpse turned out to be a Xia army soldier who had lost half of his brain.
He wiped away the blood that had blinded his eyes, and his jaw was still high.
His hands were already shaking, and blood was dripping down the horizontal knife in his hand. He slowly raised the horizontal knife, pointing at the Xia soldiers who were less than five steps away from him and did not dare to take another step, the horizontal knife slowly turned, and the tip of the knife pointed at the faces of those enemies one by one.
There were no words, but at this moment, he was like a roaring hell killing god, which made those Xia soldiers tremble involuntarily with fright.
Wu Tianxi smiled, with a momentum of looking at the world.
Although he was exhausted to the point of being on the verge of extreme exhaustion, he still had a proud smile on his lips. Sweeping over the Xia soldiers who were intimidated and did not dare to move forward, Wu Tianxi thought proudly, it was just to kill people, but that's it.
He knew what kind of amazing performance his cousin Wu Yunzhao had when he first went to the battlefield, only took three hundred horsemen to kill Wang Bo's tens of thousands of troops, and he didn't know how many generals he picked with an iron spear, and three hundred horsemen cut a hole in Wang Bo's army like a knife, and the cavalry team was like an angry dragon swimming into the ocean.
Wu Yunzhao, who only brought three hundred cavalry, had an iron spear that no one could stop, and no one could stop him from shooting a single shot of the enemy who appeared in front of him. The white horse and white armor entered the enemy formation, and after galloping back and forth, they had already been stained with blood into red horse and red armor. I don't know how many wounds Wu Yunzhao suffered on his body, but he actually killed Wang Bo's banner of the Chinese army in the ten thousand troops, and Wang Bo constantly mobilized men and horses to try to kill a small group of cavalry that broke into his army formation.
But no matter how many people were mobilized, they could never stop Wu Yunzhao from rushing forward.
Finally, when there were only twenty-one people left in the three hundred cavalry, Wu Yunzhao stabbed the enemy soldiers holding the banner to death with a shot, and the banner fell down with a bang, and it happened to hit Wang Bo, Wang Bo was so frightened that he turned around and ran, and the seriously injured Wu Yunzhao and the twenty-one cavalry continued to attack Wang Bo, who was protected by thousands of personal soldiers, and Wang Bo no longer had the courage to look at the bloody gourd-like general Yan Yunjun turned around and ran.
This battle was the first time that Yanyunzhai was surrounded by the tripartite forces of Zhishilang Wang Bo, Li Mi of Wagangzhai, and Dou Jiande of Hebei, Xu Shiji sat in Qi County and led 30,000 elite soldiers to meet Wang Bo's 150,000 army. In this battle, Li Mi was almost stoned to death, and hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated by Li Xian to collapse and disintegrate, and in Qi County, which was thousands of miles away from Li Mi's defeat, Wang Bo's defeat did not seem to be much better than Li Mi.
The 150,000 army was killed by Xu Shiji in a battle to 120,000, and the remnants of the army fled back to Jibei County with less than 1,000 people, thus achieving a legend of repeated defeats with Yanyunzhai but always able to escape magically. I don't know if this is a deliberate arrangement of fate, in the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Zhishilang Wang Bo, who had several ups and downs, finally gave up his dream of dominating the world, and after submitting to someone, he planned to be a personal minister willingly, and then retire to be a rich man in a few years. Wang Bo, who was unable to die several times in strong winds and waves, died in a small conspiracy of one person.
This battle, the achievement of Xu Shiji's prestige, but also the achievement of Wu Yunzhao's prestige, this tiger general with the title of the boy dragon, in the army of ten thousand rushing to kill, killing countless people, since then its brave name spread all over the country.
Wu Tianxi naturally knew about this, he was still listening to lectures in the martial arts academy at the time, he had fantasized countless times, if he went to the battlefield, would he also create such brilliance like his cousin?
Today, he knew he had done it.
That's why he was proud and said loudly in his heart: Kill, but that's it.
He shook off the blood beads on the horizontal knife, and asked the heavily armored Mo knife hand beside him loudly, "How many people have I killed?" ”
The burly man who had been guarding Wu Tianxi was stunned for a moment, and then replied very neatly: "I forgot." ”
Wu Tianxi smiled and said, "I forgot too." ”
The heavily armored Mo knife hand said apologetically: "Don't dare to be distracted, I originally counted it, but then I only cared about killing people and didn't remember it." ”
"Count from the beginning"
Wu Tianxi said proudly: "Just kill it again." ”
……
……
Su Dingfang glanced back, the bright red Xuzi banner had already floated down from the city wall, and it was slowly pressed behind his team, and the city was full of Yanyun Army soldiers wearing black armor, and that big flag was waving in the black tide, as if it was laughing proudly.
The south gate has been stormed for half an hour, and the corpses have almost blocked the way out of the city or failed to break through the positions held by hundreds of heavy armor, and the Xia army has also endured the onslaught of half an hour on the side behind them, and now there are only less than a thousand people left to be squeezed on a street, and the soldiers of the Yan Yun army have blocked both ends of the street, and the roofs of the houses on both sides of the street are also the archers of the Yan Yun army, and they are still shooting arrows to kill.
Don't put Li Chen covered in blood, and staggered to the front of Su Dingfang's war horse.
Li Chenyi knelt down on one knee with a horizontal knife that had collapsed out of the gap, looked up at Su Dingfang and lowered his head: "General...... Incompetent, a thousand brothers...... They were all killed in battle. ”
Su Dingfang slowly shook his head and said, "Get up, the sin is mine, not you." Today's defeat is all caused by my light enemy's rash advance, Xu Shiji dug a trap and waited for us to jump in, the people of Yanyunzhai took the lead everywhere, if I could be more careful, I wouldn't let you follow me into this desperate situation. ”
"General!"
Li Chen raised his head sharply and said, "The lowly soldiers are all dead, but the lowly ones are still alive!" ”
There was a kind of determination in his eyes, and he said in a hoarse voice: "The humble duty has no face to live anymore, please give me another two hundred soldiers, the humble duty is willing to lead the troops to rush the city gate again, even if the humble duty dies in battle, the city gate will be broken open to the living brothers to kill a bloody way!" ”
Su Dingfang was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard a panicked shout from outside the city.
He sighed, knowing what was going on.
Xu Shiji must have taken advantage of the fact that the Xia army was now all concentrated at the south gate and sent people to open several other city gates, Yan Yunjun was only afraid that he had already left the city at this time and went around the back of the Xia army, not to mention that the Xia army in the city was trapped and couldn't get out, but he was afraid that the Xia army outside the city had also been surrounded. Xu Shiji doesn't want a big victory, he wants an absolute victory. From the very beginning, Xu Shiji planned to wipe out his vanguard army.
"I once advised King Xia not to go south."
When he said this, there was a bit of despair in his eyes.
"From the very beginning, I knew that this time the south would never be smooth sailing, Li Xian's sudden entry into Wagangzhai was strange, and there was no warning to suddenly raise troops, and Wagangzhai was a time of civil strife, Li Xian would not have thought that at this time, the troops would have achieved a small victory at most, but helped Li Mi a big favor. But I can't persuade King Xia, as a minister of King Xia, since the king's order has been decided, I can only obey. ”
"Since ancient times, the civil servants have been admonished to the death, and the generals have fought to the death. I didn't die to the death, but I could fight to the death. ”
He jerked his head up and shouted, "Proud death in battle, or humiliating surrender?" ”
"I'd rather die! Don't surrender! ”
His own soldiers were the first to shout.
At first, this shout was just more than 200 pro-soldiers, and then the Xia soldiers on the entire street were shouting, from messy and noisy shouting, gradually becoming uniform.
"I'd rather die! Don't surrender! ”
In the midst of this shocking cry, there were also some desperate cries. Not everyone can see death as home, and even those who shout can't help but ask themselves after shouting, is it really better to die proudly in battle than to surrender? They can't help but think of the four words "Glory in Defeat", and some people think in their hearts, although they are still honored, no matter what, where is there any glory?
In this world, there has never been anything that is glorious despite defeat.
Su Dingfang raised the long lance in his hand and slowly pulled down his armor.
Behind him, all the Xia soldiers stood up their weapons,
Xu Shiji stood on the second floor of a wooden building with his hands in his hands, and suddenly sighed as he looked at the Xia soldiers who were regrouping a few hundred meters away.
"Rather die than surrender......"
He muttered and repeated, and involuntarily sighed: "Su Dingfang...... Why are you doing this? ”
……
……
"The general of Yanyunzhai in front of the city gate, I am Su Dingfang, the general of the vanguard army under the command of King Xia, do you dare to come out to fight with me!"
Su Dingfang jumped his horse and shouted behind Wu Tianxi.
The soldiers of the Xia Army, who had already crowded into the city gate but were cut off because of the back road, heard Su Dingfang's shout and looked over one after another, but there was a Mo Dao team of less than one hundred and fifty people under Wu Tianxi in the middle, and it was difficult to see Su Dingfang clearly. Now that the outside of the city is also blocked by Yan Yunjun, Xia Jun has no way to retreat. Whether it is rushing into the city or breaking through outside the city, it is basically a dead end.
And by this time, Wu Tianxi's task had actually been completed. Even if he withdrew with the rest of the Mo Dao men, Su Dingfang would never be able to rush out even if he joined up with the Xia army outside the city.
But Wu Tianxi didn't do this, he was stubborn and stubborn to fight to the end. He knew that he had become famous in a fight, and after today, his prestige would definitely not be inferior to that of his cousin Wu Yunzhao. But he didn't have the slightest intention of retreating, and he had already killed at this time, and he told himself that he had to do it thoroughly.
Hearing the shout, Wu Tianxi slowly turned around, was supported by the Mo knife hand behind him, walked down from the pile of corpses, and slowly walked towards Su Dingfang.
"Why don't you dare?"
Wu Tianxi raised his chin and said: "I am worried that the dead under my subordinates are all nobodies, and there is a lack of an award to promote my prestige." ”
Su Dingfang said loudly: "Can you make a discussion, if I win, I will stay and let you slaughter, you let my soldiers leave, Yanyun Army has won a big victory, why bother pressing?" If I lose, I have nothing to say. ”
"No, you can't!"
Wu Tianxi said loudly: "At this time, what qualifications do you have to bargain?" I promised to fight you because you are also a long-established general, and if you are killed by random arrows, your reputation will be ruined, and as for the soldiers under your command, you don't count if you say it, and it doesn't count if you say it. My military advisor said that what you want is a complete victory, do you know what it means to be a complete victory? ”
"Without a trace of regret, it is a complete victory."
Wu Tianxi said loudly: "So, if I don't fight with you, I have regrets, and I won't be able to win completely." One is to have mercy on you, and the other is to fulfill myself. ”
Su Dingfang was stunned, and then urged the horse forward and said, "Then I will behead you first to accompany the funeral!" ”
Wu Tianxi laughed, broke free from the support of the soldiers, and walked slowly towards Su Dingfang, although his steps were unsteady, but he was indomitable!
