【063】Execute the order
Grandma made up Ah Pang's death into Xiao Shizhu's assassination, which successfully aroused the fighting spirit and anger of the Heavenly Soul Army. After turning the entire military camp upside down and failing to find the shadow of the assassin, they decided to pour out their anger on Xiao Jiajun.
They are no longer afraid, no longer afraid, and have only anger and hatred in their hearts. In just a few hours, they launched several onslaughts on the mountain.
If it weren't for the Xiao Family's well-trained, well-armed, and geographical advantages, this small hill would have been submerged by the sea of people of the Heavenly Soul Army.
The attack did not stop completely until after dark. Although hundreds of enemies were annihilated, the Xiao family's army was exhausted and had little ammunition left.
If the Heavenly Soul Army comes to attack twice, the Xiao family army will definitely collapse.
Fortunately, Xiao Shizhu did not command on the forward position these times, and the enemy army failed to attack the front of the position, and the narrow mountain road Grandma could not squeeze up, otherwise she would have already succeeded and scattered Xiao Shizhu's soul.
At this time, taking advantage of the temporary retreat of the enemy, Xiao Shizhu asked the sergeants to collect the remaining food and water, and then distribute it equally to each sergeant, so that they could hurry up and eat and drink. And he himself took half of the corn nest, sat on the edge of the cliff at the top of the mountain, looked at the strange rocks submerged in the darkness under his feet, and ate them in small bites.
He had now recovered a little from the grief of Tiankuixing's death, and Xiao Shizhu, who was very able to distinguish priorities, was not even the time to be sad after all, and the first task was how to retreat safely.
"General, the remains of Tiankuixing have been wrapped in clothes. Yu Rong walked over, sat down beside him, and said, "The herald has come to report, King Kong Qianhu is only fifteen miles according to us, and he also brought the rest of the Xiao family army, and he will be able to come soon." There is also good news, our lord has sent a large army to the enemy's territory to put pressure on the ghost king, so that the other armies of the ghost kingdom have no way to rush to the aid of the Heavenly Soul Army, so that we can retreat. ”。
"Well, my little daughter-in-law is quite smart. After Xiao Shizhu heard this, he nodded with a faint look of satisfaction, and then turned his head and shouted: "Wu Zhiqi!"
"In. Wu Zhiqi answered, ran over and stood beside him, and asked, "General, what do you command?"
"Take your demon monkey soldiers, carry all our heavy firearms and Tiankui Xing, immediately go down the cliff to Heimu Village, and quickly form a defense line after receiving King Kong's fleet to ensure that our retreat route is smooth. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Yu Rong again, and said, "Gather the Yu people, take most of the human soul soldiers down the cliff, and return to the top of the mountain to meet us after the round with Wu Zhiqi." ”。
After Yu Rong and Wu Zhiqi went to their respective businesses, Xiao Shizhufang got up and walked to the front line.
Once the Heavenly Soul Army fights again, he must take the remaining two hundred Xiao family troops to hold their positions and buy precious time for the retreating Xiao family army.
He could have retreated first, but he didn't leave. Instead, he slowly shuttled through the trenches, reaching out and patting the other soldier on the shoulder to give encouragement and courage. Finally, he stood in the middle of the position, so that all the soldiers could see him.
For a while, the soldiers who stayed behind rekindled their fighting spirit. The Lord will be with them, and they will not retreat first, even if they are about to face an enemy many times their size, and there are no more heavy weapons on their positions, what fear will they have?
Every soldier who stayed behind thought in his heart that even if he died in battle today, he would die a well-deserved death. This is exactly the effect that Xiao Shizhu wants.
After the team retreated in batches and only two hundred soul soldiers were left on the position, the Heavenly Soul Army, which had never fought at night, suddenly rushed up towards the top of the mountain despite the fact that it was already dark and that they were not good at night fighting.
From their almost crazy onslaught during the day, Xiao Shizhu saw that in addition to hatred and anger, there was hatred and anger in their eyes. Although he didn't know what happened to the bottom of the enemy camp that made the Heavenly Soul Army feel like they were doping, his intuition told him that the enemy would definitely carry out a few more fierce attacks on the Xiao family army tonight, and strive to kill them all tonight.
Therefore, Xiao Shizhu was ready to fight to the death.
After seeing the enemy rushing up, he commanded the Xiao family army to conduct a round of shooting, and then quickly climbed out of the first-line trench and retreated to the second-line trench.
Just as they had gained a foothold in the trench, the Heavenly Soul Army that had rushed to the front line was rushing to the front line of the trench, preparing to cross the trench. But when those trenches were dug, they were more than a foot wide, and it was difficult to jump over. In addition, it was built according to the mountain, so the back was high and the front was low, and many Heavenly Soul Soldiers were difficult to cross even if they jumped up, and they fell directly into the earth wall on the north side of the trench when they fell, and fell back into the trench, and came to a four-legged end.
There were also many who rushed too hard to see the trench, rushed directly to the edge of the ditch, and fell down after stumbling. The compatriots who had only gotten up after falling into it before were crushed into the trench again.
At this moment, the Xiao family soldiers had already ignited the * and earth-shattering thunder in their hands without hurry, and smashed these throwing weapons into the first-line trench.
At the same time as killing the Heavenly Soul Army in the burning ditch, it also built a wall of fire not far in front of the Xiao Family Army; the fire was dazzling, temporarily blocking the sight of the Xiao Family Army, and also blocking the Heavenly Soul Army that was rushing up in a steady stream.
By the time the fire subsided, the Xiao family soldiers had already loaded all kinds of firearms in their hands with ammunition, and calmly raised their guns to aim at the enemy. In an instant, the fire in the dark night was accompanied by the blood splashes and screams of the Heavenly Soul Army, flashing continuously.
But this is also the last ammunition of the Xiao family's army, and then they can only use cold weapons.
As soon as the shooting stopped, there was a crisp sound of "Zheng!" from Xiao Shizhu's waist. I saw that he was already standing on the edge of the trench, and the Moon Destroying Sword was unsheathed and clenched in his hand. Then he pointed his sword at the Heavenly Soul Army, shouted: "Kill!", and rushed forward first.
In an earth-shattering shout, the two hundred heroes also pulled out the long knives on their waists and followed without hesitation. They were as menacing as a flood, and in less than a moment, they had swept away the Heavenly Soul Army that had attacked the top of the mountain.
At this moment, the yin wind lined up and rolled up the scorched banners of the Heavenly Soul Army. The sounds of fighting, shouting, and screaming were intertwined and resounded in the night sky.
Xiao Shizhu rushed all the way forward, and when he met the enemy, he would show his sword, and without saying a word, it was a burst of slashing, and all the Heavenly Soul Army who dared to get close to him were all cut to the ground.
For several months, he participated in military training almost every day, and although he did not become a martial arts master who could fight a hundred, he also trained him to be a good fighter in close combat.
When the surrounding enemy troops saw that he was the main general, they also surrounded him. Xiao Shizhu was not afraid, he was able to kill, and continued to cut when he met the enemy, and only cared about killing the enemies around him and in front of him, regardless of the enemies who caught up from behind, he let the back be stabbed a few times, and he didn't snort.
Fortunately, he knew that the armor on his body was forged of steel, and ordinary weapons would leave a few white marks at most after cutting them, and he would not dare to rush like this without hurting half a penny. Otherwise, just a few knives came down, although it would not make him lose his soul, but it was enough for him to lie in bed for ten days and a half months.
In less than half a cup of tea, he fought his way out of the bloody path and broke into the middle of the enemy formation. But because of this, he was surrounded by the enemy army and stayed away from the Xiao family's army.
But what made the Heavenly Soul Army strange was that this enemy commander not only had no fear on his face, but also had an excited look on his face. It seems that killing is a happy thing for him. This also made the Heavenly Soul Army surround him, but they did not dare to step forward.
Xiao Shizhu took a step back, they went further, Xiao Shizhu went further, they took a step back, and it was a stalemate.
The outer Heavenly Soul Army and the Xiao Family Army were still fighting, the killing was still continuing, and the air was filled with the breath of death.
The Xiao family army formed a mandarin duck array, relying on each other to attack, and leaned towards Xiao Shizhu's side, and in an instant, the fresh lives of the Heavenly Soul Army were reduced to nothing. They seemed to have been slashed by the Xiao Family's army with a thousand knives, and where the Mandarin Duck Array passed, the skin of the Heavenly Soul Army was opened, and the torso was shattered, and after a while, it turned into dust and flew into the air.
Just when the Heavenly Soul Army began to retreat, the feather people also flew back under the leadership of Yu Rong. When he arrived at the battlefield, he threw his hand* into the body of the Heavenly Soul Army without saying a word. For a moment, there were strange screaming fire men running around the top of the mountain.
"Hahaha!" Xiao Shizhu saw that the Heavenly Soul Army surrounding him began to disperse, and after looking up to the sky and laughing, he raised his sword again and slashed, chasing those chaotic Heavenly Soul Army and fleeing in all directions.
Just as he was in the mood for killing, Grandma Mamian finally followed the path up the mountain to the top of the mountain.
Seeing that Xiao Shizhu was chasing and killing her subordinates like a broken bamboo, she didn't step forward to help, but picked up a bow and arrow, put the Soul Breaking Arrow on it, and aimed at Xiao Shizhu, who was facing away from her. She knew it was a rare opportunity, and if she failed, there would be no more chance.
"Whoosh!" A sound of breaking through the air sounded, and the Soul Breaker Arrow flew out of the string and shot towards Xiao Shizhu's back. Seeing this, Yu Rong in the air shouted: "General be careful!" After raising the three-eyed gun in his hand, he swooped down towards the grandmother closest to him.
The next second, he used the fire gun as a stick and hit Grandma on the head. Grandma had already taken precautions, and used the longbow in her hand as a weapon to block Yu Rong's attack impartially.
Yu Rong took advantage of Grandma's personal guards to step forward, and when he was about to capture him, he used his strength to flip back in the air and fly out upside down. Then he landed beside Xiao Shizhu, stood back to back with him, and hurriedly asked, "General, are you okay?"
"Okay, I can't die. Xiao Shizhu said, and after raising his sword to cut a close enemy, he turned his head to look at his grandmother, laughed, and mocked: "What bird bow and arrow, I can't shoot Lao Tzu! Go back and practice accuracy again!"
When Grandma saw that Xiao Shizhu was safe and sound, she shouted with full anger, and suddenly felt that the plan had failed. However, there was no second soul breaking arrow, although she was unwilling, she had to shout to her subordinates: "Withdraw!" After that, she took the lead in turning around and running down the mountain.
As soon as the main general fled, the Heavenly Soul Army was even more chaotic, and the Xiao family army seized this opportunity to drive them off the top of the mountain. The enemy soldiers who failed to escape in time were also killed by them. Then, according to Xiao Shizhu's previous order, they lit the remaining barrels of fierce fire oil, rolled down the mountain and burned the mountain forest, cutting off the road up the mountain from the mountain.
Xiao Shizhu stood at the top of the mountain, holding the Moon Destroying Sword inserted in the ground in front of him with one hand, and covering his abdomen with the other, watching the fire in those mountains continue to spread.
It wasn't that the arrow just now failed to hit him, but that he gritted his teeth and endured the pain for the sake of morale. If it weren't for the divine power in his body, he would have ended up with the same fate as Ah Pong at this time.
Even so, he is choking enough. The Soul Breaker Arrow ran across his belly, causing blood to flow from his abdomen, and cold sweat broke out on his head, but he couldn't pull it out. For fear of rashly pulling it out, the whole intestine was brought out.
He had to press the wound with his hand, barely slowing down the blood flow at the wound, but there was still a rush of Venus in front of him.
Yu Rong was startled when he saw this, and hurriedly rushed over to stand in front of him, but he was at a loss, and he didn't know what to do.
"What's the panic? It's the abdomen that hurts, and Lao Tzu can't die. Xiao Shizhu looked at the frightened smile in his eyes, gasped roughly, and said weakly: "Take me and the rest of the human soul soldiers and fly away together, and go to the ship to find a military doctor for Lao Tzu to bandage me." ”。
"Good. Yu Rong, whose body trembled slightly, hurriedly supported him and said, "General, hold on, and I will take it away." Once on the boat, we immediately returned to China and found the best doctor to treat you. ”。 As he spoke, he told his subordinates to take the other soul soldiers and leave quickly, while he helped Xiao Shizhu to fly towards the sky above Heimu Village.
"I won't be returning to China for the time being. Xiao Shizhu snorted, gritted his teeth and said, "Since the rest of the Xiao family army is here, then Quanxian must also come." After quickly joining up with the other armies of the Ghost Mother, we will destroy all the enemy's fleets and military ports in one fell swoop, so that the Ghost King will not be able to conduct naval battles in a short period of time, and gain favorable opportunities and time for our army's next counteroffensive. ”。
"But. Looking at the new blood in his hand, Yu Rong couldn't help but retort: "But you are too seriously injured to be delayed." ”。
"Don't forget that you are also a member of the Xiao family's army, order and prohibit, and carry out orders. Xiao Shizhu used his last strength to let out a roar, and then fainted.
Yu Rong moved his lips, but finally with tears in his eyes, he shouted very firmly: "Yes!"
