Chapter 0368: Hold the Front

He Qi took a deep breath and took the initiative to climb out of the fortifications under the surprised eyes of everyone.

Meng Laohu and Zhu Hong glanced at each other, and slowly walked out behind He Qi.

"Everyone, go all out to strangle Cao Wei's soldiers, and the elite corps will be handed over to us to deal with!"

"Yes!" The heralds of the Weining Regiment shouted loudly, and followed closely and began to inform the whole army.

Perhaps because He Qi and others took the initiative to fight, the new troops of the Weining Regiment were boiling with enthusiasm one by one, and the slight fatigue in their bodies was swept away.

Cao Zhen, who commanded the tiger and leopard cavalry, no matter how He Qi and the others reacted, what he had to do now was very simple, that is, like a roaring heavy tank, completely the defense line formed by He Qi and the others.

"Kill me!"

With Cao Zhen's loud shout, two hundred tigers and leopards rode in unison, rushing towards the front line of He Qi and others.

He Qi clenched the sword in his hand, although there were only Meng Laohu and Zhu Hong around him, he rushed forward without hesitation, and collided with the tiger and leopard riders!

All the members of the Tiger and Leopard Rider are all in the late stage of the battle body, and their real strength is equivalent to the early stage of the battle body realm, which is only slightly inferior to He Qi, but fortunately, He Qi, as an awakened person, has the martial arts inheritance of his previous life, so he can barely cope with the attack of the Tiger and Leopard Rider.

And Meng Laohu and Zhu Hong really tried their best this time.

After such a long awakening time, Meng Laohu is now hovering on the edge of the battle body realm, while Zhu Hong has just entered the late stage of the thought movement, and it is a little difficult to deal with the tiger and leopard riding.

Two hundred tigers and leopards rode up and surrounded the three of them, but fortunately there were fortifications behind them as a barrier, otherwise the three of them might not even have a way to retreat.

But even so, the three of them were just gritting their teeth and insisting, and they couldn't take advantage of it at all.

The battle formation of the tiger and leopard rider was neat, the offensive was well-organized, and He Qi could still rely on his strength to occasionally kill one or two people with his sword, but Meng Laohu and Zhu Hong had to be more aggrieved and aggrieved.

In the face of this kind of offensive money, the two of them can only hold on to the defense and prevent the tiger and leopard riders from breaking through the fortifications, but it is indeed extremely difficult to kill the members of the tiger and leopard riders.

Take Meng Laohu as an example, often he breaks through the defense of the tiger and leopard rider in front of him with two punches, and when he is about to directly blow the opponent's head with one punch, another tiger and leopard rider will not hesitate to kill him, desperately stabbing at his vital point with the blade in his palm.

It felt like a demon who had lost his mind, and he was completely desperate to kill Meng Laohu on the spot.

For his own safety, Meng Laohu had no choice but to give up and watched his opponent escape.

As for Zhu Hong's side, it was even more uncomfortable, she needed to keep dodging and moving in order to barely avoid the opponent's blade, and the flying knife in her hand shot, although it could effectively cause damage, but under the attack of the tiger and leopard rider, this kind of opportunity was very rare.

He Qi knew that if this continued, the efficiency command would become slower and slower, so he took the initiative to speak: "Change the formation, Meng Laohu, you protect Zhu Hong, I will respond on the side, Zhu Hong doesn't have to hide anymore, and strangle the enemy with all his might!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Meng Laohu immediately took the initiative to lean over and block in front of the two, and at the same time no longer took the initiative to attack, but used both hands to remove the blade of the tiger and leopard riding the stab, and defended He Qi and Zhu Hong.

He Qi stood beside Meng Laohu, holding a sword left and right, either blocking the attack for Meng Laohu, which he didn't have time to block, or occasionally swinging his sword and sealing the opponent's throat with a sword.

Zhu Hong, who had no worries, completely broke out, when the flying knife in his hand was accurate, the move did not leave the opponent's vital point, the flying knife was like having eyes, and every time it was shot out to drink blood and seal his throat.

After the three of them worked together to form a battle formation, the efficiency was really significantly improved, and the three of them were like grinding plates, no matter how fierce the attack of the tiger and leopard rider was, it still ate away at the combat power of the tiger and leopard rider little by little.

Cao Zhen, who was in command of the Chinese army, frowned slightly.

He didn't lead two hundred elites to deliver food, seeing that the three of them were cooperating more and more tacitly, he raised his right hand and made a few gestures, followed by the tiger and leopard riding formation changed one after another, and in a blink of an eye, it changed from the initial impact formation to a conical formation.

The tiger and leopard cavalry that changed the formation was even more ferocious, and the soldiers of the tiger and leopard cavalry were like wolves and tigers, as if they were ready to bite off a piece of meat from He Qi and the others at any time.

He Qi and the others finally got used to the opponent's attack, and this moment they became anxious again.

At the same time that He Qi and the others were dragging the tiger and leopard cavalry offensive, the firepower of the two thousand Weining regiments gradually declined.

Compared with the 5,000 Cao Wei soldiers, the firepower of the 2,000 Weining Regiment was extremely powerful and lonely, and it was soon completely suppressed.

He Qi and others are still struggling to support, and time is passing bit by bit.

One hour ...... The Weining Regiment lost nearly 500 men, but fortunately, the enthusiasm of the new army had not passed, and the resistance was still stubborn.

Two-hour ...... Meng Laohu was covered in blood, his eyes were red, if it wasn't for He Qi reminding him from the side, otherwise, I am afraid that he would have fallen into a rage, and he would have been desperate to kill the enemy formation, thinking of dying with the tiger and leopard.

Two and a half hours...... Zhu Hong was unfortunately wounded, and was snatched back to the fortifications by several brave Weining regiments, and sent to the rear line for treatment.

Meng Laohu is still tenacious, but anyone can see that he is at the end of his crossbow, and if he is not tenacious, I am afraid that he will fall soon.

The damage of the Wei Ning regiment has broken thousands, and the damage of more than fifty percent has completely cooled the blood in the hearts of this group of recruits, and there has been a little dazed look in their eyes, and the counterattack has become six gods and no masters.

The defense line was already on the verge of collapse, and He Qi looked at the expressions of the soldiers of the Ning Regiment in the fortifications and sighed.

The set time of three hours, I'm afraid I can't hold on.

If he blindly holds on, I'm afraid that the remaining hundreds of Weining regiments will also be lost here, and most of him and Meng Laohu will not be able to escape.

The failure of the established strategy is not because they do not work hard, but because the gap in power is too big, and it is not easy to hold on to it until now, which can be regarded as a small outbreak.

It is impossible to defend Peixian in one battle, and it is the main purpose of the strategy to preserve the power and avoid losing too many living forces.

The situation did not allow it, and He Qi was not stubborn, but said to Meng Laohu in a deep voice: "Tiger, retreat." ”

Meng Laohu kicked away the tiger and leopard rider in front of him, and said indignantly: "What to withdraw, the time has not yet come, you wait for me to kill two more rabbit cubs of tiger and leopard riding!" ”

At this time, He Qi didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with Meng Laohu, now the situation is so critical, if there is a slight mistake, they will definitely be wiped out here, He Qi took such a big risk, but also to buy time, in order not to let the two thousand Weining regiment all die here!
