Although Yan Xing wanted to speed up his westward retreat, he did not have a chance, and the 10,000 Bingzhou army, led by the general Wei Yan, cut off the way back from the south, and a breakthrough battle broke out at dusk.

In the wilderness about ten miles southeast of Zhiyang City, the two armies launched a clear fight, the war drums sounded like thunder, the shouting of killing shook the sky, 10,000 Han Sui troops were divided into three teams to desperately break through, Wei Yan had already prepared, he commanded the army to change the formation many times, and divided the 10,000 Bingzhou army into three teams, from the south, north and east three directions to attack the Han Sui army.

"Rush out and turn in Zhijiang!" Yan Xing shouted loudly and ordered his men to break through, and he led two thousand troops to meet Wei Yan's southern and state armies, in an attempt to create an opportunity for the remaining two armies.

However, Zhou Tai, the general in the east, also led 10,000 Bingzhou troops to kill, divided into two teams to suppress Han Sui's army from the east and north, and besieged it from all sides, making it extremely difficult for Han Sui's army to break through.

In the wilderness, swords and guns were staggered, flesh and blood were sprinkled, bleeding and drifting, the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood, groups of soldiers were scuffled, killing red eyes, a Han Suijun soldier was stabbed over by two Bingzhou soldiers, and Du Bo of the Bingzhou Army stepped on the neck of the Han Suijun soldier, and in the desperate screams, he fiercely inserted the ring knife in his hand into Han Suijun's chest.

But before he could pull out his machete, a fierce horse galloped past on both sides, and immediately waved the general's broadsword, and the head of the state army Dubo rose into the air, and the blood in the neck cavity spurted out at once, like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers. He Jing's long knife slashed left and right, and more than a dozen Bingzhou soldiers died tragically under his knife in an instant, and the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army around him scattered in fright.

At this time, he saw from a distance that dozens of Han Suijun soldiers failed to break through, surrounded by more than 100 soldiers of the Bingzhou Army, and were chopped into meat one by one, his eyes were bloodshot, and he roared angrily. Armed with a sword, he rode into the encirclement.

"General, General Yan has an order, ordering you to immediately lead the army to evacuate and ensure the safety of the soldiers!" When one of Yan Xing's henchmen saw He Jing trapped in the encirclement of dozens of Bingzhou troops, he immediately swung his knife to cut a bloody path. came to He Jing and shouted: "General, the military order is like a mountain, if you don't obey, military law will do it!" ”

Yan Xing's martial arts are strong, his prestige is extremely high, and the army has always been like a mountain of military orders, although He Jing knew that Yan Xing was going to cover himself to break through, and his heart was like a knife, but he did not dare to disobey the military order. Shouting to his soldiers: "The three armies are in formation, follow me to break through!" ”

He wanted to rush out to kill like crazy, and a thousand soldiers of Han Sui's army also followed him to the death, and everyone worked hard to open a bloody road from the weak place in the west, and He Jing led a thousand people to flee to the west.

But only running not far from the hill, He Jing reined in his war horse and looked back at the battlefield. I saw that the army led by Yan Xing was heavily surrounded by the Bingzhou army, and it was already the end of the crossbow. He Jing gritted his teeth and shouted to his subordinates: "You can lead your brothers to withdraw Yunwu, and I will go to rescue General Yan Xing!" ”

After He Jing finished speaking, he immediately reined in his horse and killed on the battlefield, and dozens of soldiers drew their waist knives one after another, waving their arms and shouting: "We are willing to follow the general in a bloody battle!" They followed Yan Xing to the densest place of the Bingzhou army.

By this time it was almost dark. Han Sui's army had already broken through with 2,000 people, leaving only 1,000 soldiers led by Yan Xing to be surrounded by 20,000 Bingzhou troops, and the rest of the soldiers had all been killed, Yan Xing was exhausted, and the iron spear in his hand had been bent. It's like a strong bow ready to go. With a knife in one hand and a curved spear in the other, he rode his horse and rampaged through the chaos, struggling to break through, but he rushed and killed countless times, but he was never able to break through the encirclement.

At this moment, a shout broke out on the left, and I saw He Jing come back with dozens of people killed, Yan Xing was furious, and urged him to step forward and point at He Jing and scolded: "Bastard, who told you to come back?" ”

He Jing grinned: "If you are favored by a general, how can you abandon the general and escape alone?" ”

Yan Xing's nose counted, although He Jing's martial arts are not strong, but he is a loyal and righteous person, he refuses to abandon himself and escape alone, Han Sui gave his secret letter Zhongqian Wan's instructions, he must take He Jing to escape, and listen to He Jing's advice more along the way, in fact, Han Sui said well, He Jing is indeed smarter than himself, if he had followed He Jing's advice before, I am afraid that he would not have fallen into such a desperate situation at this time.

Thinking of this, Yan Xing's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he nodded and said, "Okay, it is fate that you and I can fight to the death together!" ”

At this time, Wei Yan was not far away: "General Yan, if you are willing to surrender, I will let your soldiers go back!" ”

Yan Xing looked back at the soldiers, as Yan Xing's son-in-law, he could die in battle, but he hoped that the soldiers could live, but hundreds of soldiers shouted almost at the same time: "I am willing to fight to the death with the general!" ”

Yan Xing's chest suddenly became arrogant, and he said to everyone coldly: "For the generals, even if the horse leather shroud has no regrets, how fortunate it is to be able to die on the battlefield with you!" ”

He shook his spirits, raised his machete and shouted to the soldiers: "Sons, let the enemy taste the bravery of our Xiliang Army!" ”

The sky is gradually darkening, it is as black as a splash of ink, the fierce battle between the two sides has lasted for more than two hours, Han Sui's army is getting fewer and fewer, but there are more and more state troops, as if there are countless huge circles, ring each other, there are four layers of encirclement, suppressing He Jing and his soldiers in the encirclement, no matter how they swoop, they can't break out of the encirclement.

The encirclement of Han Sui's army became narrower and narrower, and countless soldiers of the Bingzhou army held torches, illuminating the battlefield as if it were day, and the range of Han Sui's army in the middle was less than two acres, and Han Sui's soldiers and soldiers were also constantly killed, and there were less than 500 soldiers around Yan Xing.

At this time, Yan Xingren was sleepy and exhausted, and He Jing beside him had already been shot several times, and blood stained his battle robe.

Yan Xing saw that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, and the ground was full of the corpses of fallen soldiers, so he couldn't help but burst into tears, and said to He Jing: "Duke De, I didn't expect that we would die here!" ”

He Jing smiled hard, his tooth sockets were already covered with blood: "Being able to fight with the general is also the fate of a certain person, if there is an afterlife, a certain person will definitely follow the general, saddle up before and after the horse, let it be driven!" ”

Yan Xing smiled, shook his sore arm, turned over on his horse with the pain, raised his sword and shouted to the soldiers: "Everyone, Erlang, cheer up and fight with me for the last time!" ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The soldiers raised their swords and roared loudly, and Yan Xing shouted: "Kill with me!" ”

He urged the war horses violently, and the war horses galloped, and they were like a war knife that never looked back, rushing straight towards the Bingzhou army to the west. This is, Wei Yan saw that Yan Xing would not surrender to the death, he was furious in his heart, so he coldly ordered: "Since he is unwilling to surrender, marry his head and ask for credit!" ”

"Knock knock" The war drums of the state army suddenly sounded, following the order of the war drums. The Bingzhou army in all directions was like a raging wave, killing Han Sui's army, which had less than 500 people left.

At this time, it was the last fierce battle, and the arrows rained down on the battlefield, and those who followed Yan Xing to howl forward to break through Han Sui's army were suddenly like cut down spring wheat, falling to the ground piece by piece. He Jing's body next to Yan Xing was first slammed, and then like a sawn down piece of wood, he went straight to the rear, and before he fell to the ground, most of his neck had been shot away by the arrow. The broad chest is full of dense carved feathers.

"Degong!" Yan Xing's eyes cracked, and he roared angrily.

He Jing lay on the ground, stretched out his ape arm and pointed to the jungle in the west and smiled, and then his pupils gradually dilated, and his arm hung down heavily.

"General, let's go!" The henchmen and guards hugged him and escorted Yan Xing away, and Yan Xing burst into tears. With a loud roar, he walked with his knife in his hand. The remaining Han Suijun held shields and quickly formed a circle, surrounding Yan Xing in the middle.

At this time, Yan Xing's war horse was shot to death, and a carved arrow was hanging under it, and blood was flowing out at this time, supported by his henchmen. He took the knife in his right hand and walked slowly, at this time he had lost so much blood that he had no physical strength, and he would either kill himself. Or tie your hands and get caught.

Yan Xing looked at the black and suppressed state army on all sides, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh, could it be that I, Yan Xing, am going to die here? He suddenly gritted his teeth, drew his knife and put it on his neck to wipe it off, several guards had already paid attention to his movements, and everyone grabbed his arm and cried: "General, if you die, what will we do?" ”

Yan Xing was stunned: "I'm dead, you don't have a chance at all, but I'd rather die than be captured and humiliated."

As soon as his words fell, there was a sudden burst of horses' hooves in the distance, like a storm in the field, thunder in the mountains, and the blood of the soldiers of Han Sui's army who was about to cool down was ignited by the sound of the horse's hooves, and the fighting spirit was rekindled, and they all looked back to the west, their eyes were full of hope: "It's the cavalry, it's the brothers who have just broken through to save us!" ”

Wei Yanjian raised his eyebrows in vain, turned his head to look west, in the dark, the field sounded like muffled thunder, only to see a thousand cavalry suddenly appear in the west, like wolves in the moonlight, they were overwhelmingly killing in the direction of Yan Xing's breakthrough, making the west suddenly become gray, and the smoke and dust were filled, obscuring the moonlight.

"General, get on your horse!" Thousands of cavalry clashed and surrounded Yan Xing on their horses.

"How can you be so ......" Yan Xing looked at the familiar faces, with mixed feelings in his heart, these soldiers had just broken out, and at this time they actually risked their lives to save themselves, this kindness, he would not be able to repay it for the rest of his life.

"Don't say too much, general" He Jing's subordinates rode forward and slashed at the buttocks of the horse that Yan Xing straddled, the horse was in pain, and frantically carried Yan Xing out of the encirclement.

Looking at Yan Xing, who had already galloped away, He Jing's subordinates shouted: "General, take care!" ”

After shouting, He Jing's subordinate generals carried big knives and beckoned Han Suijun around him: "Brothers, the time has come to repay the general's kindness, kill!" ”

"Kill!"

Hundreds of soldiers shouted loudly, swung their swords forward, and rushed towards the Bingzhou army like moths to a fire, they wanted to cover Yan Xing's breakthrough with their lives.

"General, do you want to chase or not?" Vice General Wei Yan stepped forward to ask.

Looking at Yan Xing's figure that had already run away, Wei Yan said lightly: "I can't run away, General Xingba is waiting for him, as for these people, kill them, and leave no one behind!" ”

On the official road, it was pitch black, Yan Xing galloped to Zhijiang, looking at the demolished bridge in front of him, his eyes were full of despair, 10,000 soldiers desperately protected him to break through, but in the end it was a bamboo basket to draw water.

"No, I can't let them die in vain, detour!" Yan Xing's eyes lit up, and he immediately reined in and wanted to take a detour.

He had just galloped less than a hundred and ten steps, and suddenly the horse stumbled, the war horse fell to the ground, and Yan Xing was also trapped to the ground, and before he could get up, a figure suddenly burst out of the darkness, and put the war knife on Yan Xing's neck: "General Yan, Gan Ning has been waiting here for a long time!" :(To be continued......)
