Chapter 228
Chapter 228
"General, I'm afraid that General Zhao is in danger," a general looked anxious, worried about Zhao Xu's safety.
"I don't need you to say it, I naturally know," Zhao Wu replied with a calm face and a calm tone. Since he was a child, Zhao Xu has experienced many hardships, and as an elder brother, Zhao Wu naturally knows it very well. If Zhao Xu really loses to Hong Sihai, then Zhao Wu can only face reality.
In fact, Zhao Wu has some confidence in Zhao Xu, because Zhao Xu has suffered more than ordinary martial arts since he was a child, and Zhao Wu knows that it is not easy for Zhao Xu to get to today, so it is also not easy to lose to the other party.
After Zhao Wu answered the general, Zhao Wu below remembered Zhao Wu's usual teachings to him at a critical moment, when a warrior is stronger, the more dangerous he is, the more he needs to be fearless. With no one to help, Zhao Xu happened to comprehend these truths, and an unexpected scene soon appeared.
Zhao Xu, who had been shot down a long time ago, stopped retreating with his bare hands under the attention of everyone. Then, his left hand instantly stretched out into a gun shadow, and when everyone saw it clearly, Zhao Xu's left hand was grasping the position of a gun in front of the head of the gun in front of him, and everything was frozen at that moment, and the spear in Hong Sihai's hand finally stopped dancing.
"You," stared at Zhao Xu in disbelief, Hong Sihai didn't understand how Zhao Xu grabbed his snake-like spear head in the chaos.
Ordinary people don't dare to do this at all, but Zhao Xu not only did it, but also succeeded. For a while, Hong Sihai was surprised, and he was a little stunned.
When he reacted after being surprised, Hong Sihai's face changed and he hurriedly reached out to get rid of Zhao Xu's hand, but he did not succeed.
His face was a little nervous, and his momentum had weakened a little inadvertently, but at this moment, Zhao Xu was very calm, and his right hand waved and opened his palm to send out strength. Immediately afterwards, the Pu knife that was inserted in the ground broke through the ground and returned straight to Zhao Xu's hand.
With a turn of his arm, when Hong Sihai was still trying his best to break free of the spear, Pu Dao attacked Hong Sihai directly from top to bottom.
Seeing that Pu Dao was getting closer and closer to him, Hong Sihai was already nervous, and in a panic, Hong Sihai simply pushed the spear diagonally towards Zhao Xu with both hands in order not to be injured by the blade, and pushed it to Zhao Xu's chest, so as to interrupt Zhao Xu's offensive.
With both hands, the spear forcibly approached Zhao Xu's chest with one hand, and at this moment, the Pu knife in Zhao Xu's hand was less than a foot away from Hong Sihai. If it continues, it will definitely hurt both sides.
Seeing that the Pu knife was about to be chopped down, but the spear couldn't stab Zhao Xu for a long time, after the Pu knife was closer, Hong Sihai couldn't bear the huge psychological pressure and let go of the weapon in his hand in anger, and then his body quickly retreated.
After avoiding Zhao Xu's attack, without saying a word, Hong Sihai turned around and ran towards his mount. No weapons means no chance of winning, so at this moment, Hong Sihai only has the idea of escaping.
However, Hong Sihai's defeat and escape did not mean that Zhao Xu would let the other party go, throw away the spear in his hand, drag the Pu knife to the ground, Zhao Xu chased from the rear at a very fast speed, and in a blink of an eye, he had chased Hong Sihai closer.
When Hong Sihai jumped and took off to get on the horse, the Pu knife in Zhao Xu's hand came out of his hand, caught up with Hong Sihai at a very fast speed, and then inserted it into Hong Sihai while Hong Sihai was sitting on horseback.
"Ah," there was a scream, and Hong Sihai was shot to the ground.
On the other side, Zhao Xu jumped up at this time and flew over on horseback, taking a look at the injured Hong Sihai. Zhao Xu, who was furious, fell directly to the ground and waved his hand to pull out the Pu knife.
With a scream, Hong Sihai, who was seriously injured, saw Zhao Xu coming, and wanted to get up and flee in fright, but several struggles were unsuccessful, and the result was Zhao Xu's fatal blow. In the end, he couldn't even scream, and Hong Sihai died under Zhao Si's knife.
"General Zhao is mighty," the defenders of the city spontaneously shouted after recovering from their shock after seeing the series of scenes.
Before, the soldiers of the Snow Country were too loud to cheer for Hong Sihai, and they couldn't suppress each other's voices, and their main general didn't prompt, so they kept holding back a bad breath, and now they can shout out one by one, and they are much more comfortable.
While shouting loudly, they raised their original longbows and aimed at the soldiers of the Snow Country, preventing someone in the Snow Army from rushing out to the detriment of Zhao Xu at this moment.
Archers were originally the nemesis of siege soldiers, and now those longbows will undoubtedly scare many Snow Country soldiers.
"General Zhao is back," the generals on the city tower gradually reacted, and under their joy, they hurriedly reminded Zhao Xu that it was dangerous to stay outside. In case the snow army takes advantage of the chaos to attack, the two sides really want to fight.
Zhao Xu under the city understood that it was not appropriate to stay for a long time at this time, so he took the long knife and returned to the mount in three steps and two steps, and then turned over and ran directly towards the suspension bridge.
"Marshal, should we chase?" On the side of the generals of the Snow Country, many generals saw that their vanguard general died tragically under the sword of the enemy general, and Zhao Xu was about to flee back to the city, so they immediately asked Xu Tianyi to fight, and took advantage of this opportunity to fight through the drawbridge to the city.
However, Xu Tianyi did not respond to them in time, but only asked them to wait first, because they were still a long distance away from the suspension bridge, and they did not have time to cross the suspension bridge before the suspension bridge was pulled up.
Looking at the figure of Zhao Xu leaving, as well as the Zhao Wu on the top of the city tower, whose face had not changed from beginning to end, Marshal Xu sighed, and then signaled the generals next to him to prepare to withdraw the army.
At the same time, Zhao Xu, who rushed to the suspension bridge, shouted, "Raise the bridge." ”
There was a sound of ropes turning pulleys, and the drawbridge gradually rose. Zhao Xu jumped down on the horse as the suspension bridge was raised, and galloped all the way to the city. When the drawbridge was fully raised, the gates were closed.
"Today, Xu Mou taught General Zhao Xu's bearing, it is really extraordinary, the old man will bring people over again to officially attack the city, and I hope General Zhao is ready. Slowly getting up, Xu Tianyi gave a battle letter to Zhao Wu in person.
"Accompany you to the end," Zhao Wu on the city tower looked dignified at the moment, and responded with a resolute attitude.
"General, should we rush out?" a general thought that the morale of the enemy army should be greatly reduced just after the local vanguard general had just been killed, and now was a good opportunity for them to take the initiative to attack, so he gladly asked for his life.
"No," it's a pity that Zhao Wu doesn't think so, the other party dares to call the battle first is enough to show that he is ready to attack, otherwise he will not take a general and the morale of the whole army to make a bet, now if they rush out, they may be able to gain a certain advantage at first, but then the enemy must have the upper hand.
The enemy army came prepared, so he naturally made arrangements long ago, and Zhao Wu would not send troops at a loss.
After Zhao Wu denied the general's will, other generals who had the same idea could only mention it, although they didn't understand what Zhao Wu's plans were, but they knew that they only needed to obey the military order.
The Snow Country's future will go quickly, just like when it came, even if a general is lost, the formation of the army is neat and abnormal, obviously their military spirit is still there, which is enough to prove that the Night Country is indeed not suitable for sending troops now.
"Returning to the general, the last general is fortunate not to be dishonored," Zhao Xu came up from the city, looking happy. Obviously, Zhao Xu was very happy to be able to kill Hong Sihai with his own hands.
"Zhao Xu, you don't have to be too happy, no matter when the Snow Army will come to attack the city, you will always be the vanguard general of the Night Army. Seeing Zhao Xu's joy in his eyes, Zhao Wu's face did not change much. Out of understanding Zhao Xu, Zhao Wu, who should have been happy, must be like this.
"The last general understood," Sure enough, when he heard Zhao Wu's voice, something was wrong, no matter how the other generals congratulated, Zhao Xu remembered his own mission again.
"Get up," nodded, and Zhao Wu's gaze returned to the Snow Country's army.
Following the direction of Zhao Wu's gaze, Zhao Xu, who had already gotten up, also looked at the city. Hong Sihai's body has been taken away by the Snow Army, and tens of thousands of troops in the Snow Country are leaving. The neat queue still maintains their proper demeanor.
"General, what are we going to do next?" asked one of the generals.
"If the order goes down, the whole army will be ready to face the battle," Zhao Wu continued: "Today, Zhao Xu killed the enemy general in public and raised the prestige of our army, and the three armies should be summoned. ”
"Yes," the generals commanded.
Now that the opponent's battle book has been issued, the night army must make more careful arrangements as soon as possible, so Zhao Wu returned to the council hall with a group of generals to discuss strategies.
When a cadre of generals was discussing countermeasures, the news about Zhao Xu's killing of Hong Sihai quickly spread in the barracks and spread to ordinary city residents. The morale of the night army was high, and everyone rushed to discuss the matter, and the duel between Zhao Xu and Hong Sihai was amazing.
In fact, Zhao Xu's ability to kill Hong Sihai was a kind of reversal of defeat into victory, and those people's exaggerations were not exaggerated, and when they narrated the fight scene, they couldn't help but say some details, thus reflecting the fierceness of the confrontation between Zhao Xu and Hong Sihai.
The sound of the horn made everyone on the training ground realize that something had happened, and after learning that it was the Snow Country army attacking, everyone was paying attention to the specific situation, and now they finally waited for a piece of good news, and all the border troops were very happy.
Unexpectedly, the enemy commander who led the army to attack them before was killed in a separate battle with General Zhao Xu, and even Lin Xuanzhong and the others felt comfortable.
It didn't take long for even those who had been recuperating in their rooms to learn of the news, and the army's hearts were lifted, and only this matter had been the most satisfactory for them for a few days.
Previously, Zhao Wu deliberately released the news in order to rectify the morale of the army, even if the morale of the whole army could not return to normal in a short period of time, as long as Zhao Wu did something that could inspire the morale of the army, the state of the night army would get better and better.
"Did you fight in the end?" Under Da Niu's narration, several people had already learned the good news that Zhao Xu had killed the enemy general, so Lin Xuanzhong couldn't wait to ask about the follow-up.
"No, I heard that after the death of General Nahong, the commander of the Snow Army directly ordered the withdrawal of the army. ”
"Then did General Zhao order the pursuit?" was a little dissatisfied with Lin Xuanzhong's question, and he didn't regret asking in front of Lin Xuanzhong.
