All the way to the south, the march was only forty or fifty miles a day, and by dusk on the third day, the five hundred soldiers of Pingshu City finally arrived at the destination of this trip, Hejian.

Hejian is located at the junction of Yan, Zhao and Qi, with more plains and less mountains. Seeing that more and more armies were gathering here, all the Yan troops realized that the scale of this battle should be far beyond their imagination. In previous years, Yan and other countries had not had conflicts, but they were all small-scale wars of a few thousand people. Hundreds of casualties on both sides were in the sky, but now, with the endless tents telling everyone, those in power would never let them go home empty-handed.

Shi Chang Huang Yongbiao is still silent, just constantly sharpening his long sword. Even Zhao Yong, the commander of the Wu Army, who usually laughed and scolded, lost his previous wandering form, and began to check his weapons, gesturing with something from time to time. Feeling this, Zhao Hu and the others all dared not come out, for fear of annoying each other. What's more, the panic before the battle gradually dissipated. No one knows what fate awaits them.

Tulang is the most timid, but when it comes to his own life, he dares to muster up the courage to ask Wu Chang Zhao Yong: "Wu Chang, who are we going to beat?" Qi or Zhao? ”

Zhao Yong, who is usually good at talking, roared angrily: "How do I know, you want to know?" Ask the uncle! Obviously, Zhao Yong was in a very bad mood.

Jian kept rubbing his hands together, and said with a smile: "I can't talk to the uncle, why don't you talk to the chief and let him inquire?" ”

Zhao Hu, blacksmith Chen Qiao, and farmer Li Guang also looked at Zhao Yong expectantly at this time. As a swallow person, they are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of waiting for death. At the very least, let them know who their enemies are!

Zhao Yong sighed and said, "I'm afraid that the uncle doesn't know!" What's more, it's the Qi army. Zhao Jun is also good! Isn't it the last order from above, and we are going to die for our lives?! It doesn't matter if he is a Qi army or a Zhao army, come to kill one Lao Tzu, and come to kill two pairs of Lao Tzu! ”

"Then Captain Wu, which one do you think?" Tulangzhong asked unwillingly.

"Hehe, I think it's best to be Qi Jun! Know why not? The Qi army is so killing! The queen of our Yan Kingdom is the nobleman of Zhao Kingdom. It's my mother's family, and I don't think it's possible to fight with Zhao Guo. If you really fight with Zhao Guo, there is no need to run so far. You say, "Isn't that the truth?" ”

"Captain Wu is right! I also think it should be Qi country! Tulangzhong, is the enemy Zhao Guo, you are so scared that you pee your pants? The blacksmith teased.

"I don't! I heard that many of the soldiers of Zhao State were on horseback, and I was afraid that I would not be able to catch up with them and not be able to earn military merits! It was a great shame to be ridiculed by other men for being timid, and Tulang Zhong immediately argued.

"Alright, alright! Don't fight! It's a mule, it's a horse. All come out yo-yo! We'll see you on the battlefield. When you go to the battlefield, don't give me a strong force, this sword and gun has no eyes, who rushes fast, dies fast! When the time comes, the mother-in-law and the child will be returned to someone else, and you will regret it! Wu Chang Zhao Yong said with a big grin. Seeing everyone's nervous mood disappear slightly, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in my heart.

Fortunately, this torturous wait did not last long. Zhao Hu and his entourage received an order to assemble on the third day after arriving in Hejian. After a little nourishment, the army marched south. The identity of the enemy became more and more obvious - there was no doubt that it was Qi Jun. You must know that 50 miles south of the river is the boundary of the Qi country.

Many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. It's not like Zhao Guo. Although the Qi State is also strong, it is not as good as the Zhao State after all. The dignified and famous general Tian Dan was played with by a little-known Zhao Hao, and he lost more than 30,000 soldiers, and he couldn't be stronger if he wanted to come to Qi State!

A few years ago, Yan Guo bullied Qi Guo badly enough. The Yan army that went out on the expedition either followed Le Yi south to attack the Qi State; Either he grew up listening to the story of Le Yi and Qi Qi. Qi Guo has a natural psychological advantage! What's more, Tian Dan, the only one that Qi could play, was deposed. No matter how you think about it, Qi Guo shouldn't be Yan Guo's opponent!

People say that people who go to the battlefield for the first time are either very lucky or unlucky, and Zhao Hu undoubtedly belongs to the latter. After arriving at Wusui City on the border of Qi State. The Pingshu soldiers, who were incorporated into the front army, took the hastily made ladder, and under the cover of the archers behind them, launched a decisive charge.

The reason why it is said to be a decisive death is because of the strict military law. Those who don't beat the drum will be killed! Those who don't retreat, cut it! No one dared to turn around and test whether the long sword in the hands of the law enforcement team behind him was sharp. Once an order has been given, all of them can only obey! There is a way to live by charging forward, and a dead end to retreat backwards!

What's more, because of the surprise attack of the Yan army, the Qi army at the head of Wusui City was obviously panicked. The sound of the gong made the entire Wusui City panic. Yan Jun knew that this was his biggest opportunity. While the defenders have not yet fully assembled, take the head of the city or the city gate in one fell swoop, and the war will be no longer suspenseful. Your own life will be saved.

Of course, the Qi army would not surrender without a fight, and the dense rain of arrows kept shooting into the charging phalanx of the Yan army. Zhao Huxin, who was in the phalanx, suddenly raised his throat, and his legs only felt as heavy as lead. There were constantly arrows shooting into the body of the robe, making a "poof" sound, coupled with all kinds of screams, before the battle, Zhao Hu felt that he had walked around from the Shura Hell.

The advantage of being in the phalanx is that there are many people, and you never know which unlucky ghost will accidentally get an arrow, relatively speaking, the probability of being hit by an arrow yourself is low. After all, there are so many Yan troops, and the Qi army on the head of the city is sparse, and some arrows seem to be insufficient. But there are naturally disadvantages, because the relationship between the formation limits the space for individuals to move around. Once you spot an arrow coming at you, the only thing you can pray for is that it doesn't hit the vital point, or isn't strong enough to break through the leather armor, and as for dodging, that's delusional!

Zhao Hu saw with his own eyes that a person who believed in his martial arts wanted to dodge the arrows, but he collided with others, and was knocked to the ground by one life after another, reduced to pulp! On the contrary, those who were hit by arrows in the armpits and shoulders gritted their teeth and did not fall behind, and they have survived until now!

Zhao Hu's luck was good, at least when he rushed under the city wall, except for Tulang Zhongwei, who accidentally twisted his foot, the others were not injured at all. This cannot but be said to be a miracle! But the bigger challenge is yet to come, and that is the climb to the top of the city.

The arrival of the Yan army. Qi Junbiao showed great "enthusiasm", rolling stones, saki wood, and gold juice came one after another, with a posture of sending Yan Jun out of the sea of suffering. All the Yan army could do was to quickly erect the ladder and grab the highest point of the city, otherwise, what awaited them would be to die under the city wall.

Huang Yongbiao held a long sword. Directly pushed a Yan Jun to start climbing the ladder, and he followed closely. Zhao Yong also knew that the city wall was not necessarily safer than the city head now, and it was the king to take the city head in one go while the Yan army had not yet assembled. Otherwise, most of his own group of people will not be killed or injured, and there will be no reinforcements behind him to support! The reason is very simple, the general wants to use the lives of his own group of people to test the Qi army, if the Qi army is cheating. The main force of the Yan army was spared the opportunity to be fooled; If the Qi army is not cheating, then the main force of the Yan army can attack from all sides!

The lives of his own group of people are not worth mentioning in the eyes of the general, and may even be just a few cold numbers. But if he wants to live, he has to kill the Qi army at the head of the city. This is the cruel world of life and death, and it is also the cold law of this era.

"Chen Qiao! You go first! I'm on my heels! Li Guang! You're behind me! Zhao Hu, health, you guys are covering in the back! Zhao Yong shouted.

Such an arrangement is more appropriate. Blacksmith Chen Qiao has the greatest strength, and he lives up to his name. is also good at using skill, just right for charging into battle. Zhao Yong, the captain of the army, is not good-looking. Assassin type, the most experienced! When the Qi army at the head of the city was attracted by Chen Qiao, Zhao Yong could just take out a few Qi troops. The Qi army will definitely pay the price for their carelessness. Although Li Guang is a farmer, he is also a part-time hunter, and a flying knife makes it still good. Just enough to follow Zhao Yong to fill the gap. Zhao Hu is relatively agile, once Chen Qiao, Zhao Yong, and Li Guang gain a firm foothold in the city. Zhao Hu can quickly reinforce him. As for hygiene, because of the twisted feet, the combat effectiveness has been weakened a lot, but it is still okay to be strong and majestic at the end. What's more, once you get to the top of the city. The back road is basically broken. This kind of person is usually timid, but once he fights hard, his combat power is still okay.

I don't know if he was too excited or nervous, the first Yan army in front of Huang Yongbiao was cut off by Qi Jun's sword before he could show his weapon. Huang Yongbiao shouted in his heart, but he didn't dare to underestimate it in his heart. The actions of the Qi army just now were completed in one go, and it seems that they have been rehearsed many times. On this battlefield, a little carelessness is the rhythm of looking for death. This is summed up by Huang Yongbiao with countless blood and tears.

Before he could put one foot on the city, three vicious winds struck. Huang Yongbiao looked at it and found that he had a blood-dripping long sword stabbed on the left and right sides, and a spear on the front. It's almost a dead end! The three weapons almost sealed all the space that Huang Yongbiao could dodge! If it is changed to flat ground, Huang Yongbiao can roll on the spot or retreat sharply! But at the head of the three-zhang high city, such an idea is obviously looking for death.

Without a trace of hesitation, Huang Yongbiao completely relied on instinct, and with a force under his feet, he jumped up a foot. It is this distance of a few feet that has become the dividing line between life and death. The three Qi soldiers never expected that this Yan army would dare to take such a risk. You know, the other party jumped up on a three-foot high ladder. Who would dare to risk this without a certain balance and strength. If you use light force, you will hit the ladder, and if you use too much force, the ladder under your feet may fall apart. A little to the left or right will fall directly into the city, reduced to a puddle of flesh.

But it is precisely because of Huang Yongbiao's leap that the shapes of the two sides have been completely reversed. Although the Yan army, which originally had the upper hand, did not fall into danger, it was only Kankan and Huang Yongbiao to maintain a certain level. What's more, the mentality of both sides has changed a lot. On the battlefield, such an advantage is extremely important.

Huang Yongbiao, who is in mid-air, has two options, the first is to deal with the spearman in the front, he is the biggest threat to his subordinates behind him; The second is the swordsmen on the left and right, who kill the most in close combat. Glancing at the Qi army behind the spearman, Huang Yongbiao decisively chose to slash his sword at the Qi army on his right. Without him, because the long swordsman of the Qi army on the right hand showed a moment of panic. It was this moment of panic that made Huang Yongbiao decide to use the other party as a breakthrough.

Take the lead! Huang Yongbiao only used the simplest stab to cut off the head of the Qi soldier on his right hand. At the moment when he completed the stabbing, Huang Yongbiao actually had the strength to stab at the long swordsman on the left.

When they see their robe being killed by the enemy in front of them, most people will have two reactions, one is that they are afraid to run away, and the other is to be angry and pluck up the courage to take revenge. The long swordsman of the Qi army on the left undoubtedly belongs to the latter. Seeing Huang Yongbiao's long sword stabbing at him, this Qi army did not retreat but advanced, wanting to block and fight for a chance for the robe next to him. The pikemen on the side also reacted quickly, wanting to take the opportunity to sneak attack. Unexpectedly, this was just a false trick by Huang Yongbiao. Forcibly stopping his forward posture, Huang Yongbiao turned and stabbed at the pikemen. The pikemen of the Qi army were horrified. It's about to close the momentum, but it's too late. The long sword in Huang Yongbiao's hand pierced into the chest of the Qi army's pikemen at an incredible angle, and the spear in the pikeman's hand was still a little bit close to blocking the long sword in his chest, but it was this little distance that became the distance between life and death!

The long swordsman of the Qi army on the left shouted, and he wanted to avenge his robe. At this time, it was the time when Huang Yongbiao's old power had not gone and the new force had not been born, and the long swordsman of the Qi army was hideous, fantasizing that Huang Yongbiao, who could not avoid it at the next moment, was killed by himself on the spot. It's a pity that he forgot that this is not a three-person fight. A Yan soldier rushed into the city in time. relieved Huang Yongbiao. The long sword pierced his chest, no matter how he looked at it, this Qi army long swordsman couldn't be saved. The long swordsman of the Qi army, who was not convinced until death, could only fall helplessly and was reduced to a corpse.

Of course, soon the Qi army reacted and came to support. But how could Huang Yongbiao, who had already stood firm at the head of the city, allow the Qi army to drive his group of people under the city wall! Huang Yongbiao relied on his own force to defend the three-foot-long place in front of him.

Wait until Zhao Hu ascends to the top of the city. The Yan army had already occupied a place seven feet long at the head of the city. But that's the limit! Qi Jun naturally knew the risk of this situation developing, and the Qi army kept squeezing Yan Jun's space. In exchange for the retreat of the Yan army, human lives were exchanged. Even those who are as brave as Huang Yongbiao have suffered more than a dozen injuries.

But after all, the head of the city is narrow, and the surplus troops on both sides cannot be used. And morale is a very strange thing, the two sides that were originally on equal footing, with the Qi army unable to attack for a long time and the Yan army retreating first and then advancing, huge changes have occurred. More and more Yan troops poured into the city. The two sides have already killed each other, and at this time all personal force has been discounted, because there is no room for maneuver at all. People are next to people, people are crowding people, and all people can only subconsciously stab the weapons in their hands to the opposite side. Kill or be killed by the opponent. There is no one to retreat at all, and it is impossible for even the most timid person to retreat, because the robe behind him is desperately squeezing forward, and the person who is fighting at the front can only advance step by step unless he dies in battle.

Unfortunately, Zhao Hu was on the front line of the most tragic battle between the two sides. Zhao Hu no longer remembered how many Qi troops he had killed, and the cloth armor on his body had already been soaked in blood, and it was blown by the icy cold wind, and it was biting cold. Constantly panting, the feeling from his body told Zhao Hu that he was extremely tired, but Zhao Hu didn't dare to move, and he couldn't move, just stared at the Qi army in front of him. A voice in my heart kept yelling, "Kill each other!" Kill each other! Kill him and you'll live! Another voice kept persuading, "Give up!" Give it up! You're already too tired! It only takes a moment and you can rest in eternal peace! ”

All this qiē happened between the calcium carbide firelight, and Zhao Hu didn't want to die, so he could only pluck up the courage to kill the other party despite his exhaustion. Qi Jun also subconsciously waved his spear forward, and he didn't want to die, so he could only give death to the other party! In Qi Jun's view, Zhao Hu is like a god-like being, in order to survive, Zhao Hu once bit with his teeth, hit with his fists, and killed all the enemies in front of him. The long sword in his hand had many gaps in the collision again and again, and his face was stained with blood, but this qiē did not hinder his fierce gaze. Neither side can tolerate defeat, because defeat means death.

Qi Jun found that Zhao Hu's legs were trembling slightly, which showed that the other party was already at the end of the crossbow. Therefore, Qi Jun is very confident that the spear in his hand will definitely stab the opponent first and kill the opponent. The fact was as Qi Jun expected, his spear did stab Zhao Hu first, but it was not the heart that stabbed him, but the shoulder. It's just that because the force was too ruthless, the spear pierced through Zhao Hu's shoulder, and the Qi army also pounced on Zhao Hu because he couldn't retract his strength. Where is Zhao Hu willing to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he exchanged his serious injuries for a chance to kill with one blow, if he misses it, he will die.

Qi Jun realized that he had been tricked between the lightning and flint, and when he was about to react, it was too late, Zhao Hu changed the stab to split, and a huge head of the Qi army's spearmen flew into the air. The neck of the remnant body spurted hot blood, and Zhao Hu was dyed bloody at once.

"Kill !!" Zhao Hu shouted fiercely.

At this time, with a bang, the gate of Wusui was smashed open, and a large number of the main force of the Yan army poured into Wusui City like a flood that burst the embankment, and it was out of control! What I saw was that people blocked and killed, and Buddha blocked and killed Buddha!

"Wu Sui has been broken! Those who descend will not be killed! Wu Sui has been broken! Those who descend will not be killed! Nearly 10,000 Yan soldiers roared in unison. With Zhao Hu's momentum for a while, the Qi army at the head of the city was flustered, and they threw away the weapons in their hands one after another, and they all surrendered!

Wusui City is broken! Zhao Hu couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground with a bang! (To be continued......)
