Chapter 408 Turning the tide (18)
Raising his head, the sun shone all over Chen Anzhi's blood-stained face.
The spring sun is always so bright that it is dazzling when you look at it directly.
He once heard Zhao Ning say that if the knife is fast enough, when the blood spurts out of the throat, it will be like the sound of the wind, which is very good......
Unexpectedly, such a pleasant voice at the moment came from his own wounds.
He felt helpless, and he couldn't tell if he was bitter. The helplessness and absurdity of life are nothing more than that, right?
Wait a minute!
Chen Anzhi suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Own wounds?
Why don't I feel any pain?
Even if the pain was no longer obvious when he was dying, there was no strange feeling in his throat, and it didn't look like he had been slipped by a blade at all - Chen Anzhi, who wanted to take one last look at the sunshine when he was dying, suddenly withdrew his gaze!
Then he saw the blood glow.
Blood did spill down his throat, but not from his throat.
It's Aruwin!
Chen Anzhi's eyes couldn't help but widen.
Who killed Aruwen? Who had the cultivation in the late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, and who could kill Aruwen so cleanly at this time?
Jiang Feiyan?
She has fallen, and she does not know whether she will live or die.
Han Li?
He couldn't protect himself, and he couldn't come at all.
Chen Anzhi saw the person who shot from the side.
The other party was dressed in ordinary soldier armor, not tall, not short, not fat or thin, and did not look conspicuous.
When the other party received the turn of his head, Chen Anzhi saw the other party's face and recognized the other party's identity at a glance.
One product building and two masters are red practice!
It was her?!
How did she end up here?
Why did Zhao Ning's wings appear in the Bianliang garrison, and why is he on the battlefield now?
How could the other party save his life so coincidentally, and kill Aruwen so easily?!
Chen Anzhi's second monk was puzzled and couldn't understand this question, just like when he saw each other in the barracks before, he was also confused.
"Chen Gongzi, it's not a good place to be in a daze in the battle array. Hu Honglian saw that Chen Anzhi's thoughts did not belong, so he smiled and teased.
Chen Anzhi woke up like a dream.
Captain Wan was suddenly slashed by a cultivator who jumped out of nowhere, and this anomaly shocked the surrounding Beihu soldiers in a daze, and in an instant, Aruvin's guards rushed up like crazy.
They snatched back Aruwen and roared with the intention of besieging Hu Honglian, but when Hu Honglian made a move, a team of Yipinlou masters dressed as ordinary soldiers had already joined the battlefield and blocked their attack.
"General, General, how are you?" said Aruwen's lieutenant wrapped his hand over his bleeding neck as he tried to feed him elixir to heal his injuries.
Aruwin's eyes widened like brass bells, and he looked at the sky helplessly and sadly—a hunter who had won a moment before, but in the blink of an eye, he had become a dying prey, and the huge contrast was unacceptable to him!
He couldn't figure out how things could have come to this.
In the battle array, he has always been the one who kills the enemy general, how could he ever be forced to this step?
How could an invincible army suddenly encounter such a powerful enemy, when it had already invaded the Central Plains?
How could an army suddenly step into a desperate situation of defeat when the situation was good?
"Kill...... Kill them all, kill them all......" Aruvin stretched out his bloody hand and struggled to let out a low roar, and then he died with a twist of anger outside his head.
"General!" The adjutant general ...... was like a mourner, and suddenly fell into boundless self-blame and despair.
He suddenly got up and shouted to kill, he was going to avenge Aruwen, but he might as well Hu Honglian had already arrived in front of him, the sword light was like lightning, and before he could take out the sword, the sword blade had already pierced into his chest!
Hu Honglian kicked over the body of the deputy general, leaned over and took off Aruwen's helmet, cut off his head, and threw it to a Yipinlou cultivator behind him with his backhand: "Pass on the three armies, and those who don't surrender will be beheaded!"
"Yes!"
Chen Anzhi, who seized the time to swallow the pill and stabilize the poisonous gas in his body, followed Hu Honglian, hesitated for a moment and then hugged his fists and said:
"Thank you for the rescue of the second master, if it weren't for the second master's here, this battle would be suspended, Chen Anzhi rushed forward, the battle was unfavorable, and the crime could not be punished!"
The counterattack of the Aruwen guards was defeated, the surrounding Beihu soldiers had begun to retreat in fear, the elite cultivators of Yipinlou continued to attack, Jiang Feiyan and Han Li were rescued one after another, and Chen Anzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Hu Honglian glanced at him: "If it weren't for you breaking through the formation, disrupting the deployment of the enemy army, and luring out Aruwen, where would I have the opportunity to fight the enemy generals?"
Chen An's heart moved, and he hurriedly said, "So we didn't cause trouble to the army?"
Hu Honglian smiled: "If you are killed by Aruwen, and you are all defeated, it will be our soldiers who will panic, and it will be us who will be defeated;
"Now that the Lord of Aruwin has been lured out by you, I will have a chance to kill the enemy in one blow, and the fighter will be able to hold the plane in our hands.
"The battle is decisive, between life and death, the victory and defeat are instantaneous, the slightest mistake is a thousand miles, and the situation is reversed in the blink of an eye. Chen Gongzi, it's not that I take it big, I want to make contributions on the battlefield, you still have to learn more. ”
Chen Anzhi was convinced, and clenched his fists again: "After this battle, I have indeed gained knowledge, and I have become more and more aware of how difficult it is for Brother Ning to win many battles - he is really not a mortal. ”
Speaking of this, he paused, and for a while he had a lot of thoughts, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Only now do I know what the real backbone of the dynasty is, the unparalleled national warrior, and only then do I understand what the Zhenguo family is!"
This is what he said in his heart, after experiencing the danger of the battle and the line of life and death, he can really understand something. Now his admiration for Zhao Ning and the Zhao family has risen to an unprecedented height.
Hu Honglian's face was strange: "Chen Gongzi shouldn't think that we have won this battle, right?"
Chen Anzhi looked behind him, more and more cultivators were rushing forward, and there were still follow-up parts, and the Beihu cavalry in front of him had begun to retreat in groups, and their fighting spirit was obviously collapsing.
"This hasn't won yet?" Chen Anzhi looked at Hu Honglian in confusion.
Hu Honglian pouted at the sky in front of him: "Look." ”
Chen Anzhi looked up and immediately looked awkward.
The clear sky is already surging with wind and clouds, as if there are immortals walking dragon snakes, lightning and thunder in the collision, two huge field whirlpools have been initially formed, and the sound of tigers roaring cranes is faintly heard!
"Wang Jijing!" Chen Anzhi's mind that had just relaxed tightened again.
The field battle of 20,000 people is not small, and Yangliucheng is only a few dozen miles away from here, so naturally it can't hide from the Wang Ji Realm who has a heart.
The survival of a team of elite cavalry is a big matter wherever it is placed, and it is impossible for the other party to sit idly by.
Chen Anzhi had to look at Hu Honglian again: "Second master, your realm ......"
Hu Honglian remained silent: "I'm still one step away from the Wang Ji Realm, and you can't count on me at this time." ”
Chen Anzhi bowed his head silently.
Hu Honglian laughed twice: "However, the person we can count on has already come." ”
Chen Anzhi turned his head sharply.
In the sky behind the army, the man in the fluttering clothes had already stepped into the sky.
Walking in front was a petite figure, and ordinary people could only see the huge battle axe. But all the soldiers who saw this battle axe were in high spirits.
Behind her, there was also a helper who was also Wang Jijing.
Chen Anzhi couldn't help but clench his fists: "Queen Mother!"
It was only at this time that Chen Anzhi realized that they could only win and not lose a battle, and from the very beginning, there was a strong force to escort them in secret.
Hu Honglian in the army, Zhao Qiyue in the rear of the army.
These are all the strength of the Zhao family.
This battle revealed the Zhao family's will to win!
......
Yunzhou.
In mid-air, Borshu stared at Zhao Ning on the city tower from afar, like a hunter who had already set up a net, examining the prey that was about to be put on the food table by himself.
The army had already begun to siege the city on three sides.
Although it was the first day of the war, Borshu sent his elite descendants, and his intention was to give the Yunzhou army a head-on blow, to hit the opponent's fighting spirit increased by the victory in Xihe City, and at the same time to boost his own morale.
In terms of the battle situation, the shorter the capture of Yunzhou City, the sooner the army can move south, echo and converge with the army that has already conquered Yangliucheng and attack Bianliang, so as to quickly conquer the entire Central Plains - just like when he was in Hebei.
Of course, these are actually all plans on the face of Borshu, and they are made for Zhao Ning to see, in order to let Zhao Ning focus on the battle in front of him, not to be distracted by other things, and to perceive his true thoughts.
Now, Borshu was waiting for the two Wang Jijing in the Central Plains to come over, and then he fought with Zhao Ning. As long as Zhao Ning can be besieged, Yunzhou will naturally be able to go down with one blow, and there is no need for the army to pay many casualties.
Looking at Zhao Ning, who was as stable as Mount Tai above the city tower, his clothes and hair fluttering lightly in the wind, and his elegance, a smile appeared on the corner of Borshu's mouth:
"It's ridiculous that you don't know that you're dying, and you still think you're good there!"
Zhao Ningdang naturally didn't know what Borshu was thinking, and he didn't observe the other party much, his attention was on the battle situation inside and outside the city walls.
The Tian Yuan army was well prepared, and there were a lot of various siege ladders and nest cars, and as soon as the battle began, the momentum was huge and the attack was fierce.
Under the leadership of the cultivators, a group of soldiers slaughtered the city, and the soldiers defending the city were in close contact, and the overwhelming shouts of killing were mixed with the sound of weapons and the explosion of true qi, stirring up the city.
Under the orders of the generals, the soldiers defending the city in each section fought to the death with the enemies who kept jumping up and climbing the city, and the true qi was like starlight flickering everywhere, and like firecrackers exploding everywhere, and the blood mist bloomed like a hundred flowers blooming.
Every moment there were people screaming and falling, and the bodies were accumulating more and more, and the pools of blood were flowing more and more. From time to time, people fall down from the city like dumplings.
The ladder overturned one after the other, and the nest car was destroyed and one came closer to it.
In the heat of battle, everyone seems to have turned into a beast, and only the instinct to fight remains.
"Among all kinds of battle situations, the battle of defending the city can be said to be the simplest, and it is most suitable for new soldiers on the battlefield to participate in the battle, so that they can grow into veterans through blood and fire experience. ”
Wei Wuxian smiled and said to Zhao Ning: "If Borshu can accompany us to practice here for a few months, most of the hundreds of thousands of troops in this city will become elites. Even the young and strong men who help in the war can become qualified soldiers. ”
Zhao Ning bowed slightly: "As long as the casualties are not too large, this can indeed be achieved." ”
The battle at the head of the city does not have so many dangerous and unpredictable changes in the battle array, and it is not like the need to move forward against the rain of arrows and stones.
Even if the soldiers are panicked, there is a lot of room for maneuver, and they can get out of the battlefield by retreating from the city wall, and the echo of their companions on the left and right is extremely convenient, and the support and rotation of the soldiers in the city can also be very timely.
At present, in addition to the Hedong Army and the Longyou Army, most of the other Great Qi armies are new pawns - at most, they have suppressed sporadic bandits and killed riot displaced people, and in the long run, Daqi urgently needs more new pawns to become old pawns.
Defending the city is the best battlefield, and it can best realize the training by fighting.
Zhao Ning needs a real elite army, preferably no less than 200,000 people.
Now it depends on whether the battle situation can be stabilized, and whether the Yunzhou army can prevent the Tianyuan army from capturing the city in the short term.
If it is stable, Zhao Ning will have an extra battlefield elite soldier in his hand - for the Zhao family, this is a new force under their control, except for the Hedong Army - if it can't be stabilized, everything will be suspended.
