Chapter 62: Kong Xuan died generously
"Vice Admiral Kong, there is another news recently, have you heard about it?"
"What's the news?"
"It's rumored in the camp that the general is in the West Gorge, and he disappeared a few days ago, isn't that true? Aren't the general and Yuan Niangzi in our tent? It's just that my legs and feet are inconvenient and I never go out, right?"
There was obvious doubt and temptation in the soldier's tone, Kong Xuan could only pretend not to know, and some regretted not listening to Xie Xinglan's words and pretending to be him, what would happen if the soldiers found that there was only one woman disguised as a man in the Chinese military tent? He didn't dare to imagine.
"Hmm."
He didn't dare to look directly into the soldier's gaze and hurried away.
Since the king of the alien race led 100,000 soldiers and horses to come in person, the soldiers and generals are hurrying to build fortifications, Kong Xuan packed up his facial expressions and joined in, and now he has to defend himself, hoping that man can come soon.
"Report! There's movement in the enemy camp!"
The horn of the siege sounded again, the king of the alien race, Xue Ji personally went to the front line to supervise the battle, the soldiers and horses were almost under the city, dense, and with all kinds of siege equipment, this time, they were no longer a temptation, and the war entered the white heat.
The soldiers immediately became nervous, General Zhao, General Hua, General Wu, the three generals put on armor and went into battle, General Zhao was responsible for the defense of the city wall, General Hua was responsible for the defense at the city gate, and General Wu was responsible for organizing the counterattack.
Kong Xuan, as Xie Xinglan's spokesperson, led 15,000 soldiers and horses out of the city to meet the enemy, and everyone knew that if he went out of the city this time, he might never come back.
The morale of our army is low, but the enemy army is unprecedentedly excited, battering rams, siege engines, crossbow machines, artillery carriages, ...... They're ready to take it all at once.
The enemy is in a hurry, but he wants to support Xixia as soon as possible, Kong Xuan understands that the longer it drags on, the better it will be for us, he drew his saber and said loudly,
"Soldiers, at the beginning of Emperor Taizu's founding, the alien race was just a barbarian who lived in pursuit of water and grass, and now it is only a hundred years, and the monkey is trying to get involved in our rivers and mountains, even if it is less to more, let them see our determination to defend the rivers and mountains!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The soldiers were red-eyed, if they let the aliens cross the pass, there would be countless civilians behind them, with their own wives and children, brothers and friends, even if they died, at least they would pull a cushion! Knowing that you can't do it, it's the last stubbornness of being a good man!
The shouts shook the sky, and the alien soldiers also felt the murderous aura, and the Nine Princes took the lead, and the tip of the gun was pointed directly at Kong Xuan,
"Capture this yellow-haired boy alive!"
Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses rushed forward and attacked frantically, and the generally tall figures of alien soldiers instantly gained the upper hand, but under the command of Kong Xuan, everyone still maintained the formation, as long as the enemy pounced, they would definitely die.
Xue Ji sat on the command car, charming and natural, incompatible with this battlefield, seeing that she had fought for a long time, but she did not hurt the foundation of Kong Xuan's troops, her eyes were cold, and she said to the sixteen kings,
"He shouldn't have let the Nine Princes be the vanguard in the first place, his rampage tactics are just afraid that he will be turned around by the group played by Kong Xuan, no wonder he can't attack it for a long time."
Although she was introduced by the Oriental family and cultivated the art of vertical and horizontal, she also had some opinions on the art of war. The sixteen kings turned their heads to look at her,
"Then according to the words of the concubine, how to defeat the enemy?"
Xue Ji smiled shyly and hooked the cheeks of the Sixteen Kings,
"Look, my lord."
She picked up a small purple flag and pointed it right in the middle of the battlefield. The soldiers received the order, and it was immediately passed down layer by layer.
Kong Xuan was still killing the enemy, only listening to the loud drums on the opposite side, and the columns of cavalry were already dressed neatly, holding swords and shields.
Not good!
"Withdraw! Avoid the cavalry! Don't be swept away by them!"
The alien race is already tall and big, they live by the water and grass, they have a good riding skill, they make money and move on the horse, move freely on the ground, the cavalry is their biggest reliance, the reason why Emperor Taizu did not conquer the alien race is also because their cavalry is too powerful, only Xie Xinglan has broken their cavalry formation for many years, but others are not here.
The alien race began to charge, and even two miles away could feel the trembling of the ground beneath his feet, and countless iron hooves stepped on the killing, coming
Those who did not retreat were immediately scattered in formation, scraped to the point of injury, stepped on to death, and there was a team in the rear of the enemy that was specially responsible for mending the sword, which was crushed all the way down and was almost to the gate of the city.
Kong Xuan's side suffered heavy losses, and several generals on the city wall were all frowning, if Kong Xuan couldn't hold it, they would be the last line of defense for the tens of millions of people behind him.
"Vice Admiral Kong! Does the general have a strategy against the enemy?"
Kong Xuan didn't know what to say, and suddenly a pair of people climbed up the city wall, pressed a soldier wearing bells and whistles, and knelt in front of General Zhao,
"General! It's this person pretending to be a general, and the general is not in the account at all!"
General Zhao kicked him away, this is not a weapon! Kong Xuan is at the critical moment of resisting the enemy, and now saying that the general is not there, wouldn't it shake the hearts of the army!
But it was too late, and several other generals looked at him together, and Zhang Zhao, a soldier who was tied up by five flowers, wanted to cry without tears, and the city wall was in chaos in an instant.
Xue Ji's tactics succeeded in breaking the enemy, Kong Xuan's troops were almost instantly reduced by half of the people, according to normal means, they had to release arrows on the city wall to cover, but there was no movement at this time, Xue Ji was a little puzzled, was Kong Xuan sent out to die?
The sixteen kings praised their beloved concubines, and the generals on the left and right all greeted her, and Xue Ji smiled sweetly, so that the sixteen kings only wanted to take her back to the camp.
Kong Xuan really wanted to go up to the city wall at this time and throw down all the people who disturbed the morale of the army. When did you find out that it was not good, but at this time, sure enough, the soldiers all looked sideways, and someone immediately asked him where the general was, and how many tongues he had, and he couldn't tell clearly.
The enemy attacked again, and his troops had lost the morale they had just fought desperately, and they were scattered in pieces.
Kong Xuan held his sword in his hand and cut off the enemy's horse's leg in one fell swoop.
"The general has other arrangements, we just need to hold the city, and he will be here soon!"
The surrounding soldiers did not speak, silently resisting the enemy army, but the soldiers on the city wall did not give up,
"Why lie to us! Aren't our lives worth anything? Why! Why?"
At the critical moment, General Zhao pulled out his saber and slammed it down on his neck, the head fell to the ground, everyone was stupid, General Hua and General Wu looked shocked, the usually kind General Zhao actually killed his own soldiers!
Putting away the knife, General Zhao looked indifferent, as if he had just killed a chicken just now,
"Without the general's strategy, I'm afraid it won't be 100,000 enemy troops, but 300,000 alliance troops. If you don't want to be a slave of the country, pick up the sword for me and kill the enemy desperately! If there are any more questioners about the generals, there will be no forgiveness!"
Everyone was shocked and clenched their weapons.
General Zhao's head and back were full of sweat, and his palms were also full of sweat, holding a paper ball in one hand, trembling and hiding in his clothes.
It was Xie Xinglan's secret letter from Feige two days ago, afraid that Kong Xuan would not stay in the account with peace of mind, and afraid that the army would be unstable, so he told him everything.
Fortunately, General Zhao turned the tide this time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. Kong Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and led the soldiers to continue fighting, but the scene just now all fell into the eyes of the enemy, and within a while, it reached the ears of the Nine Princes.
Xie Xinglan was not there, and he had said this when the Sixteen Kings and Xue Ji came, and it turned out that his own soldiers knew nothing. The morale of the army is shaken, and this is a good time to kill the enemy!
The Nine Princes personally stepped on the war horse and walked at the forefront of the cavalry ranks, rampage, and their bravery was unmatched.
The battle lasted for a day and a night, and the alien soldiers seemed to have inexhaustible strength, and there were many of them, Kong Xuan was already at the end of the crossbow, and under the wheel war, there were very few soldiers around him.
The horn sounded again, and the aliens were about to attack again! Unlike before, this time they did not launch cavalry, but infantry white blades, and the Nine Princes carried hooks and sickles, as if they were in a no-man's land.
In the blink of an eye, there were only a few dozen people left around Kong Xuan, they were in a circle, leaning together, General Zhao shouted on the city wall, there was no need to fight to the last person, to open the city gate to let them in, but at this time to open the city gate, the enemy would only enter faster than them, he gave up the idea of returning to the city, and shook his head resolutely.
The enemy stopped the attack and observed them from a distance of several tens of meters, as if they were looking at something
It's the same as a strange thing. The mouth is not idle, extremely ridiculed and insulted, some people were scolded and couldn't stand it, and desperately wanted to go over to kill, but they were shot into hedgehogs by bows and arrows from behind.
Soldiers can be killed, not humiliated! Barbarians are barbarians, they only know that these people in front of them are a group of small minions, there is no Xie Xinglan in front of them, and there is a city in the rear that they dare not go back, so they can only let others take care of it.
There was a fierce soldier who was about to commit suicide when he lifted a knife, but was stopped by Kong Xuan in time. The Nine Princes shouted to stop, he looked at Kong Xuan and thought of an interesting idea.
It's a pity, such a good seedling, I'm afraid that Xie Xinglan will have no successor! In retrospect, the two still have some origins.
"Kong Xuan, the last time I finally captured Xie Xinglan alive, you came to rescue him, right?"
"It's me."
"Hmph, you've got it."
"The Nine Princes have praised it."
With a wave of the Nine Princes' hand, the soldiers all stopped, he dragged the hook and sickle, and walked alone in the direction of Kong Xuan.
"Why don't we make a bet? If you win against me, I will release your soldiers, and if you lose, follow me back to the barracks."
Almost two meters, like a hill, the Nine Princes, Kong Xuan's newcomer, how could he be his opponent? Go back to camp with him? What an inhuman humiliation it would be! Immediately behind there were soldiers saying,
"Can't promise him! They are a bunch of barbarians, and we will die cleanly, and everyone will not be afraid of it for a long time!"
"Yes, Adjutant General Kong, I can't promise him!"
Kong Xuan was already determined to die, if he could save these soldiers, even if he died, he would be able to explain to Xie Xinglan, he sneered,
"Can the Nine Princes count?"
"That's nature!"
What a good opponent, the Nine Princes took a gun from the soldier next to him, threw it to Kong Xuan, and said to the left and right,
"I'm alone with Kong Xuan, and you can't participate."
The armor on Kong Xuan's body had already been soaked in blood, and the saber had been broken, so he simply took off his armor and walked to the front step by step, looking directly at the eyes of the Nine Princes.
The heart of death made him look extremely powerful, and for a moment, the Nine Princes felt that death was surrounding him, like a thorn in his back.
Holding the gun, Kong Xuan actually laughed, he is not good at anything else, only a set of marksmanship, the general said that he must be proficient, he has practiced thousands of times since he was a child, and the enemy gave him a gun, is he here to die? Before he died, he pulled a ninth prince on his back, and it was worth it.
General, you treat me like a brother and a father, there is nothing to repay in this life, if there is an afterlife, I will be smeared for you, and then you will die!
Kong Xuan took the first step!
