Oshima was also ruthless, and at that moment thousands of pirates launched a final charge, roaring and rushing forward, and a life-and-death struggle was immediately staged.

On the periphery of Wangjiaao, Song Bo, the commander of the Seventh Division, was advancing quickly with 500 cavalry.

These 500 people belong to the most elite force in the Seventh Division, and they can be regarded as the vanguard army, because he is in a hurry, he can't lead 500 troops with the infantry to go deep alone.

In Wangjia'ao, after two hours of fighting, the sky was getting dark, and no less than 400 corpses were thrown on the ground, more than half of which belonged to the bandits, and only more than 100 belonged to the 24th regiment.

Under the leadership of Zhang Xing, he fought desperately, and after killing nearly three hundred enemies, he also paid the price of a hundred lives.

These 100 people all belong to the elite forces of the 24th Regiment, and in normal times, each of them has the ability to defeat three or more people with one enemy. It's just that now, their bodies are too tired, and their knives are curled, and they have long been unable to reach the capabilities of their heyday.

But even so, the knife is blunt, and they still have hands; The hand is injured, and there are legs to kick and mouth to bite.

In short, as long as there is one breath left, they can fight, using everything they can to deal with the enemy.

After more than 100 people died in the battle, less than 100 people remained by Zhang Xing's side. And there are indeed seven or eight hundred pirates, with a ratio of one to eight, so that Zhang Xing can't see any hope.

"Father, Xing'er doesn't regret being your son, if there is an afterlife, the son still wants to be your child." Facing the sunset, Zhang Xing raised his head and finished speaking, he waved his long knife and rushed into the battle circle again...

After Zhang Xing entered the battle circle, he was soon surrounded by enemies, and despite the protection of three iron guards, he was still in danger, as if he would be overwhelmed by the wave of enemy troops at any time.

"Protect the second prince." Seeing that Zhang Xing was in danger, the three iron guards shouted loudly, under Zhang Chao's teaching, these people's loyalty to the monarch was so serious that they even put the safety of their master's life above their own lives.

As soon as the guards shouted like this, the commander of the first battalion hurriedly began to pour towards Zhang Xing's place with the remnants of the soldiers, like that, he was completely desperate, and he didn't care whether there was a mountain of swords or a sea of fire in front of him.

This shout was also heard on Oshima, who was directing the soldiers to charge.

In the past few days, after entering the hinterland of Jiangdong, he can also understand some Chinese languages, and he can hear this sentence of protecting the second prince clearly.

All along, he couldn't figure out one point, that is, why the resistance of this Celestial Empire army was so strong, and General Yu Ban issued several orders to urge the attack. Supposedly, it is only two thousand soldiers, and it should not be taken so seriously.

But now, Oshima has figured out that there is a prince of the Celestial Empire in this army that is surrounded by love, so everything makes sense.

"Hahaha, God really help me, come on, pass the order, don't hurt that prince, you must catch him alive." thought that if there was an extra prince of the Celestial Empire as a prisoner in his hand, it would be equivalent to an extra life-saving capital in the future, in this case, who else could stop him here?

The military order issued by Oshima laughed was quickly conveyed, and then the bandit army, which already had the opportunity to destroy the 24th Regiment with one blow, suddenly slowed down the speed of the attack, looking like that, it was clear that they wanted to capture Zhang Xing.

In the battle circle, Zhang Xing had been surrounded by regiments, and after several impacts, there were less than twenty left around him, of which three iron guards were killed in battle, and only one iron guard was left, which was the commander of a battalion who was lucky to survive, and he also died heroically in the battle just now.

Zhang Xing will not forget that the first battalion commander still rushed forward bravely and killed the enemy in front of him when he was stabbed three times in his body.

At this moment, a sense of guilt arose in Zhang Xing's heart.

Although it is said that there are no immortals in a war, if it is true that the whole regiment is wiped out, then as the regiment commander, he also has a responsibility that cannot be shirked.

"It's my arrogance that hurts everyone, and if that's the case, I'll die with everyone." Seeing that under the heavy surroundment, there was no hope of breaking through, Zhang Xing also held the heart of death, and under his disregard for defense, just blindly attacking, his sword skills have also improved a lot invisibly, but he is not aware of it now.

Under the leadership of Zhang Xing, the soldiers of the other 24 regiments also fought bravely to kill the enemy, completely disregarding their own safety, only seeking to seriously injure the enemy.

It's just that when the strength of the people is exhausted, the battle can not be won by just relying on a ruthless force, and the disadvantage of numbers makes the 24th Regiment forced to the center of the battlefield again after half an hour.

And at this moment, there are not even twenty people standing next to Zhang Xing, and everyone is injured, even himself, who also has several scars.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer brothers who could stand, Zhang Xing's face showed a trace of bitterness. He had tried his best, but in the end he still couldn't turn the tide, and at this moment he seemed to see the call of death.

"Rush, rush up, and capture the prince of the Celestial Empire." Oshima, who had retreated for a moment, couldn't help but cry out happily when he saw that the enemy was already a trapped beast fight, and he was powerless to resist anything. For him, destroying the 2,000 soldiers of the Celestial Empire is nothing, but it is a great achievement to be able to capture a prince of the Celestial Empire because of this.

"Kill, kill, rescue the second prince." Just when Oshima thought that the great work was about to be completed, behind him, suddenly there was a burst of horses' hooves stomping on the ground, and then an unknown number of cavalry came from far and near.

The cavalry that appeared behind him startled Oshima. Although he couldn't see who was coming in the night, his intuition told him that it couldn't be his own reinforcements, and General Yu Ban wouldn't come to support himself, who was already fighting with an advantage, so could it be that the reinforcements from the Celestial Empire had arrived?

It's only been a long time, it's only the sixth day, even if the reinforcements of the Celestial Empire can arrive, isn't there still a forbidden army guarding the periphery? So what do they eat?

Oshima looked puzzled, and even a little panicked, and a bad feeling arose.

Oshima didn't have much time to think, and in the distance, Commander Song Bo and five hundred cavalry had approached quickly, and before the people arrived, bows and arrows had already attacked from afar.

A burst of bows and arrows shot from a distance, causing chaos among the bandits.

The pirate soldiers, who had been fighting for two days and one night, were already exhausted, and it was only because they saw that the war was about to end that they had some strength. It's just that now that the enemy reinforcements have arrived, they have lost most of their morale first.

"Run." I don't know who it was, so I shouted first. And this shout immediately played an absolute role in the chaos of the army, and many soldiers began to scatter and flee.

Oshima, who did not leave, but was indeed a little dumbfounded, finally saw that the cavalry coming from afar was the reinforcements of the Celestial Empire. At this moment, he couldn't think about why these enemies appeared, all he thought about was one thing, and that was to kill Zhang Xing.

Even if this person is not captured, it will be a cushion to be pulled on the back of death.

Oshima is worthy of being a leading general, and his analysis of the situation is much stronger than that of ordinary soldiers. When he saw the cavalry of the Celestial Empire, he knew that there was little hope of escaping, and the two days and one night of fighting had already exhausted his physical strength, how could he still escape?

Even so, it is better to simply kill the prince of the Celestial Empire, which is equivalent to fulfilling their bushido spirit in disguise.

"Brave samurai of Yamato, the time has come to show our bushido spirit, come, come with me and kill the prince of the Celestial Empire." Oshima shouted, and with hundreds of soldiers around him, he rushed towards Zhang Xing and the others who were surrounded in the center.

Zhang Xing had already embraced the heart of death, and the appearance of reinforcements in the distance made him see a glimmer of life again, but at the same time, he also knew that the biggest crisis was coming.

The reason why he was able to hold out for so long was precisely because these bandits did not want to kill him, but only wanted to capture themselves alive. But once the murderous intent is revealed, I am afraid it will be difficult to persevere.

It's just that no matter what, Zhang Xing also has to do the final fight. As soon as he gritted his teeth, blood immediately flowed out of his somewhat chapped lips in a state of lack of water, and with the smell of blood, he cheered up and said to a dozen people around him in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Fight, as long as we can hold on for half an hour, victory will belong to us." ”

"Fight." More than a dozen people said in unison, and after that, one by one, they took weapons and rushed towards the pirates rushing in front of them...

General Song Bo led the cavalry all the way to the front, even if he saw the fleeing pirates along the way, he did not pursue them, he knew what his task was this time, that is, he must save Zhang Xing, as for other things, it was secondary.

For this reason, Commander Song Bo went straight all the way, and finally arrived in the middle of Wangjiaao Village in less than half an hour, where he saw a scene that frightened him.

In the center of the entire village, the corpses were placed horizontally, and a smell of blood rushed to the tip of the nose, making people feel nauseous.

And these are not the most fatal, what makes Song Bo a little unacceptable is that on the entire battlefield, no one stands again and again, as if all of them are corpses.

"What about the second prince? What about the second prince? Commander Song Bo, who knew the seriousness of the matter, spoke to himself twice in a row. Later, I heard soldiers around me say that there were traces of pirates in the north of the village. At that moment he took 300 cavalry and chased straight away, but at the same time left 200 soldiers to clean up the battlefield. In his original words, the corpses must be rummaged through one by one, but if the commander of the twenty-fourth regiment is found, whether it is life or death, he must watch it, if there is still a breath, then he must be saved, otherwise everyone will die.
