The burly man was none other than Zhang Liao, the commander of the Seventh Legion, a hero who had died in battle in the eyes of others, but at this moment, he was not only alive, but also had no other wounds except for the previous two knife wounds.

But isn't he already dead? How did he come back to life and still wear the uniform of an ordinary soldier?

Speaking of which, all of this was done by the soldiers around him. When they saw that Zhang Liao asked for a new orange cloak and wanted to attack the Xishu army again, they knew that the commander of the army would be more than lucky if he continued like this.

One of the duties of a pro-soldier is to protect the safety of the general. It's a bit like a bodyguard.

Under normal circumstances, bodyguards are only allowed to miss once in their lives, that is to say, once the general dies in battle, it is difficult for the soldiers to survive, even if you are lucky not to die, and once you return to your hometown, if you are found out, you will be executed and buried together.

Zhang Chao also knew about this, but he did not change it. Perhaps only in this way can the general's death rate be reduced, otherwise, the lord will die, and the pro-soldiers will be fine, then when they encounter danger in the future, how can the pro-soldiers desperately protect it?

It is precisely for this reason that once something happens to Zhang Liao, the hundreds of pro-soldiers who follow him will be killed (according to the laws of the Celestial Empire, the commander of the army can have 500 pro-soldiers around him, and he will be registered in the army, protected, and enjoy the benefits of the state. Not only that, but it is also difficult for their families to be adequately guaranteed in the future, after all, they are the ones who have not completed their tasks.

Therefore, after the soldiers saw Zhang Liao make the decision to die, they also made a decision after some deliberation, that is, to restrain the corps commander and prevent him from committing suicide.

In the eyes of the soldiers, as long as the corps commander is still alive, they are not considered a failure in the mission, not only will their reputation be preserved after their death, but even if they are family members, they will be taken care of in many ways because Zhang Liao is still alive.

After making a decision, several pro-soldiers rushed up, and before Zhang Liao could react, they were knocked unconscious. After that, the clothes on his body were changed and put on by another pro-soldier with a similar figure, and Zhang Liao himself put on the military uniform of an ordinary sergeant.

It was the orange cloak that represented the identity symbol of the regiment commander, which was also disguised as his own soldier and hung on his body, and finally died on the battlefield, so it is no wonder that some people thought that Zhang Liao had died in battle.

After Zhang Liao was knocked unconscious, he was put down and hidden among the corpses of the dead soldiers, and because Zhang Ren was in a hurry to return to Mianzhu City and did not have time to clean up the battlefield, Zhang Liao came back to life. Awakened in the morning by the sound of running water in the river, he was naturally wearing the uniform of an ordinary soldier.

Standing there for a while, Zhang Liao recalled everything, and looked at the two personal soldiers around him who had been responsible for protecting his safety and pretending to be dead, and he sighed very much. There are things that I want to say, but I don't know where to start, so I point to the battlefield and ask, "How many of us are left?" ”

"Commander, it's just the two of us, oh, and there are some wounded, who are also temporarily unconscious because of the big battle, but now they are all starting to wake up one after another." A pro-soldier stepped forward and replied respectfully. He didn't know if what he and his companions did would provoke Zhang Liao's anger, but if things were to happen again, he would still choose this way. In short, if they are there, they must not let Zhang Liao die.

Hearing the team of 20,000 people, there are only these people left, Zhang Liao also sighed. Once the success will be achieved, he now has a deeper experience. Fortunately, the sacrifices of these soldiers are for a more long-term and stable peace in the future, and the payment is worth it.

"Okay, then take an inventory, everyone who can get on the horse will follow me, and we'll kill it together." Zhang Liao quickly put the unpleasantness just now in his mind, now that the war is not over, as the commander of the corps, his position should be on the battlefield.

Under the running of the two personal soldiers, after half an hour, more than 200 soldiers were gathered on the battlefield, of which only less than 80 were really able to fight, and the others were too injured to have the ability to move at all.

"Okay, eighty is eighty, and that's a lot." Zhang Liao said cheering himself up. As a corps commander who commanded an army of 500,000, he only led eighty troops, not even one-sixth of his own army, but he was still full of confidence. Because these eighty people have all crawled out of the real pile of dead people, if they do not die in this battle, it is conceivable that their battlefield experience will be very rich, and the future of these people in the future is also unlimited.

With eighty soldiers, from the battlefield, found some war horses that had been thrown aside, and after a brief tidying up, Zhang Liao put on a new orange cloak from the personal soldier package, and then jumped up and walked away.

......

It is only less than ten miles away from Mianzhu, and if it is a fast horse, it will take less than half an hour, but this seemingly short distance has indeed become a "mirage" that Zhang Ren can't reach. ”

In the front, General Cao Xiu led people to desperately block the attack, and in the rear, Pang De led more than 200,000 troops to continue to encroach, Zhang Ren really fell into the two sides and became the object of being attacked.

Seeing so many Celestial Empire soldiers coming behind him, Zhang Ren knew that the cavalry of the Wuqiang Kingdom must have fled, and while scolding them in his heart for not having righteousness, he also regretted that he had wasted too much time on Zhang Liao.

Knowing that the Celestial Empire was prepared, he still jumped in. This is just it, knowing that he is not invincible, then he should have retreated earlier, but he didn't, he just carried it here for a long time, and even took pride in killing Zhang Liao, but now, the same scene is about to happen to him.

Thinking that the 200,000 army will not only be wiped out here, but even the bamboo city will be lost, once His Majesty and the prime minister know, I am afraid that even if he escapes back, it will be a capital crime.

"General, break out. Now the road leading to Mianzhu City has been blocked, but it is still possible to go west, after entering there, it is full of mountains and basins, although the conditions are a little worse, but if you are lucky, you can survive. A captain rode up to Zhang Ren and asked for instructions. In the current situation, anyone can see that the result of resistance is death, but sooner or later.

"Run? Do you think we'll survive by escaping to the west? Zhang Ren sneered and replied, and then shook his head to himself, not to mention that Zhang Liao died in battle, the Seventh Legion would definitely not let him go, even if he could escape, then what was the use? lost Mianzhu, it is conceivable that Yizhou is occupied is only a matter of time, in this way, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang will not let him go, he can't escape for a lifetime, and fleeing without hope is not his choice. If that's the case, it's better to fight with dignity, even if it's dead, at least it proves that he did his best, and the evaluation of him in history will not be too bad.

Zhang Ren is a person who looks at his name and cherishes his reputation, if not, he would not know that Mianzhu City is dangerous, but he must kill Zhang Liao regardless of it, he just wants to be famous all over the world. But if you flee now, it will in turn become a stench for 10,000 years, that is to say, whether it is the Celestial Empire or Xishu, they will regard themselves as enemies, and at that time, they are faced with being wanted everywhere and living a life of invisible light, it is better to die.

Zhang Ren decided to fight, he wanted to prove his worth with the last blood, under such a backwater battle, the combat power of the Xishu army did not decrease but increased, and it actually dealt a heavy blow to the army brought by Pang De.

Especially Zhang Ren himself, his first-hand pistol skills are even more superb, after knowing that he would die, his fighting spirit germinated, and he even let him kill people in a short period of time, including only three generals above the regimental commander level of the Seventh Legion.

Zhang Ren's greatness attracted Pang De's attention, and seeing a famous soldier die under Zhang Ren's gun, Pang De roared: "Get out of the way, I'll come!" ”

Pang De is a famous general in Xiliang, second only to Ma Chao, and his force value is naturally not weak, especially the truncated broadsword in his hand, which is very advantageous to wield, and ordinary people can't even stand his knife.

Pang De rode his war horse and roared, and along the way, the soldiers of the Seven Legions all gave way so that he could reach Zhang Ren's side as quickly as possible, and then fought together with a knife and a gun.

Compared with Pound's infinite strength, Zhang Ren is good at marksmanship and prefers to fight with skill. Under the first contact, he was hit by the truncated broadsword several times, and after Zhang Ren's chest and abdomen surged several times, he changed his tactics, and the silver spear in his hand flickered up and down, and came back with the intention of entanglement.

Pound pays attention to the wide open and closed style of play, like this feeling of slashing on the cotton, he is very disliked, but he wants to compete for strength, but Zhang Ren does not give such a chance at all, so that after thirty rounds, he began to pant because of the excessive use of strength. Forty rounds later, Pound switched from offense to defense, and he was in jeopardy.

Fortunately, at this moment, General Cao Xiu rushed over and dealt with Zhang Ren with Pang De on the left and right, but he was able to draw a tie.

Zhang Ren, who was determined to die, knew that he would die, and he had no other thoughts in his heart, so that his marksmanship could be brought to the extreme, and even the incoherent gunstyle that had been somewhat incoherent before was much smoother at this moment, and even he had a feeling that if he could not die this time, his marksmanship would improve a lot, and at that time, it was the Qinglong Yanyue Knife facing the second general and the Zhangba snake spear of the third general that there was also the possibility of a battle.
