Chapter 221: The Battle of Chenzhou

In the city of Chenzhou, the flames are soaring.

It was early in the morning, and the sun was rising in the east.

The arrows outside the city were like a torrential rain, and they came in a continuous manner, and the war drums were like thunder, rumbling and rumbling non-stop, and each time, they hit the hearts of the soldiers defending the city in the city.

From the time the Chu army suddenly began to attack the city on a large scale at night, three or four hours have passed now, more than half of the guards in the city have been killed or wounded, and most of those who can still hold the city are also injured, and the entire Chenzhou is in danger.

Beitangmo stood at the head of the city, his hair disheveled, and his armor was torn. This young man, who was dedicated to serving the country in the army at the Divine General's Academy, has risen a lot taller at this time, he is holding a spear, blocking the arrows that come from him, but his face is full of pathos.

According to Wu He's military order, before the Chu army besieged Chenzhou, he should go to the foot of Daliang Mountain, because Chenzhou had been regarded as an outcast by the Wei State.

However, Beitangmo violated the military order and took 2,000 wounded soldiers under his command and stationed here.

Because this is his hometown. Most of the soldiers under his command who suffered more than half of the casualties were also local soldiers in Chenzhou, and none of them were willing to leave here, watching their hometown being trampled into ruins by the Chu army.

"Captain!"

A middle-aged man over half a hundred years old, wearing rattan armor, ran up to the city and shouted at Beitangmo: "The soldiers we rushed to outside the city have all died, and the Chu army is about to break through the city gate, we can't defend it!"

The man's voice was hoarse, and he said with grief: "You better take the rest of the soldiers and find a way to break out!"

"Uncle Li, don't say it, the soldiers who stayed here today are all from Chenzhou, they are the same as me, their fathers and fellow villagers are all here, not to mention that we don't have the strength to break through, even if we can break through, can we see the people in my hometown being slaughtered by the Chu army?"

The Chu army had put down their words many days ago, if the city did not take the initiative to open the city gate, when they broke through, it would be the day of slaughter.

Beitangmo knew that the Chu people had always been fond of killing, and they could say and do it.

"But, Xiaomo, if you stay here, you can only die with everyone!" The middle-aged man's face was full of pity.

He is not actually a soldier of the Guards, he is a person who grew up watching Beitang Mo, and he is a veteran who retired from the army with Bei Tangmo's father. Now, Beitang Mo has been honed in the battlefield for three years and has become a promising young captain, he should be happy for his old brothers, but the current situation is that Beitang Mo is going to die here with them.

No one could comprehend his complicated feelings at this time.

Beitangmo showed a wry smile, walked over, patted the man's shoulder and said: "Uncle Li, I was taken care of by you when I was young, and I thought that when I became famous, I would come back to repay your old man, but now it seems that there is no chance, wait for the next life!"

Li Laohan couldn't cry anymore, and scolded his mother loudly: "Why did this dog-day Chu soldier suddenly start attacking the city!"

Beitangmo's eyes were also dark, and then he let out a long breath and said: "Chenzhou was not a place they were eager to take, the reason why they suddenly changed their minds and started to attack the city was to put some pressure on General Wu and Shen Houye, this is to prepare for a large-scale confrontation on the main battlefield." We...... It's just an appetizer for the Chu army!"

Immediately, he raised his voice and shouted: "Wang Gui! How many young and middle-aged men are there in the city who can still fight?"

A young man on the other side of the city wall replied in a loud voice: "My lord, there are more than 1,300 people who can fight!"

In addition to the soldiers of the guards, there were also ordinary people in the city who spontaneously came to guard the city gates.

"Those who have parents at home should be sent home! Those who have wives and children should be sent home! Those who have no brothers of the same generation should be sent home! All the rest of the people should be gathered in the city!"

"Yes!"

It didn't take long for Beitangmo to appear under the city wall.

Behind him was the city gate, which was constantly being slammed by trebuchets, and in front of him stood young soldiers with tired faces, but all clenched teeth and bloodshot eyes.

Beitang Mo frowned slightly, "Why are there so many people?"

Of the more than 1,300 people, not one of them left.

"My lord, they said...... They said that at this time, it was useless to go home, and once the city gate was broken, it would still be a death, so no one wanted to leave!"

"My lord, we don't want to leave!"

"Defend the city gates to the death!"

"Swear to defend Chenzhou to the death!"

In the smoke and flames of war, a group of young soldiers and young people made a deafening sound.

Beitang Mo was silent for a long time, "That being the case, that's it! Wang Gui, select three hundred good archers, deliver all the bows and arrows to them, and guard the city wall, and the remaining 1,000 people, together with me, open the city gate and kill them! Kill one Chu soldier without compensation, kill two to earn one, and before you die, you have to pull a few backs!"

"Yes!"

......

After a stick of incense, the gate of Chenzhou City was opened, and Beitangmo held a spear in his hand and led a thousand soldiers to the Chu soldiers outside the city gate, rushing straight over!

These thousand people, each of them were like hungry wolves who had been driven to death, their eyes were full of red light, their hearts were full of hatred, and as soon as they left the city gate, they fought with the Chu army outside.

Suddenly, blood splattered and there was a noise!

Beitang Mo held a spear in his hand and rushed to the forefront, and the spear in his hand slashed a few large circles from time to time, and slapped on the chest of the oncoming Chu soldiers.

Burst!

A shot was plunged into the throat of one of the centurions of the Chu soldiers, and then he pulled the spear and pulled it back, and blood suddenly spurted out.

The front half of Beitang Mo's spear turned blood-red.

Then Beitang Mo jumped into the encirclement of the Chu army, and the spear in his hand danced, thundering.

This is the martial arts he learned from the army, thunder in all directions, a shot danced, and eight thunderous sounds suddenly sounded around him, and each thunder exploded in the chest of a Chu soldier, and eight Chu soldiers were annihilated with one shot!

Just when Beitang Mo Lei moved the eight directions to come out, and the eight Chu soldiers fell, a streamer arrow suddenly shot from behind.

Beitangmo turned around, couldn't block, was hit by an arrow in his left shoulder, and the pain in his heart went straight to his head.

Beitang Mo gritted his teeth and looked into the distance, only to see a person sitting on horseback, smiling contemptuously at him.

"Oriental Optimus!"

Beitangmo roared angrily, his eyes were full of monstrous hatred! This time, the 10,000 Chu soldiers besieging Chenzhou were led by Dongfang Qingtian, and Beitangmo was no stranger to people.

The moment he saw Dongfang Qingtian, he sounded for a moment, and he later heard that this person had shot at Ye Chong in the Divine General's Courtyard, but he was not Ye Chong's opponent, he suffered a loss, and in the end, it was Wang Donglin who injured Ye Chong.

Thinking of his few friends, Beitang Mo suddenly smiled, "I heard that you went to the Sword Shrine, and you didn't say goodbye to me in the end, today, I'm afraid I'm going to die here, you might as well kill this guy before you die, it can be regarded as helping you settle a grudge!"

Then he grabbed the arrow in his shoulder and snapped it hard!

With a click, the arrow snapped, leaving only the arrow, still deep in his shoulder blades.

Beitang Mo's brows twitched, he gritted his teeth, and with a flick of the spear in his hand, he rushed in the direction of Dongfang Qingtian.

"Kill him!"

Dongfang Qingtian in the distance certainly saw Beitang Mo's idea of pulling him to his end, but he didn't feel that Beitang Mo had enough strength to rush in front of him, so he just gave an order to the soldiers in front of him and let them run towards Beitang Mo together, and at the same time bent his bow and arrows again, aiming at Beitang Mo.

Sou!

Beitang Mo's spear had just been pulled out of the abdomen of a Chu soldier when an arrow landed on his thigh.

"Bastard!"

Beitangmo let out a painful cry, his body tilted, and he almost fell to the ground.

He quickly put the spear on the ground, and at the same time slammed a fist on the head of the Chu soldier who was slashing at him with the knife, snatching the opponent's long knife with his own hands, holding the spear in one hand and the long knife in the other, still slashing and slashing!

"Hahahaha......"

In the distance, Dongfang Qingtian laughed arrogantly, and the third arrow that was originally on the bowstring was withdrawn by him.

He suddenly didn't want to shoot Beitang Mo like this, he wanted to watch this guy being tortured to death by the soldiers under his command little by little, and watch him fall unwillingly in front of him.

"Ahh

Beitang Mo screamed in pain, his body was drenched in blood at this time, and the Chu soldiers around him gathered more and more, and a sword light fell on his back, splitting the armor on his body, revealing a long and deep blood mark.

"You used to stand in front of me, but now I'm about to die, and I can't help you kill an opponent. ”

Beitang Mo showed a bitter face, and muttered in his mouth: "Brother, we will see you in the next life!"

Just as he was about to rush to the surrounding Chu soldiers desperately, a red glow suddenly appeared above his head.

"Chirp!"

A long roar is not noticeable in this murderous battlefield.

But when the red glow fell, covering the sky and the sun, and rushed towards the Chu soldiers, it still frightened many people to subconsciously retreat around.

The flaming flaming finch with red wings all over it landed in front of Beitang Mo, and then a flame erupted from its long beak, and many Chu soldiers around it suddenly burst into flames, screaming and wailing miserably.

"Beitang Mo!"

Qin Wuyue took the lead in jumping off the back of the Flame Sparrow, supporting Beitang Mo, who was already preparing to die, and said with concern on his face: "It's really you!"

Beitang Mo was stunned for a while, blinked, and finally determined that the person in front of him was Qin Wuyue in the Divine General's Courtyard back then, "Senior Sister Qin, how are you ...... Appear here?"

What surprised him the most was the huge flaming finch that could breathe flames.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Shen Qing'er, who also jumped off the back of the big bird, and two men of the same age who he didn't know.

"Haha, brother, you are not lightly injured!"

A fat man came to him with a smile, and then took out a pill without saying a word and handed it to him, "Swallow it quickly and stabilize the injury!"

Beitang Mo turned his head to look at Qin Wuyue, the latter nodded, he swallowed the pill, and soon he felt a warm breath rise in his body, and the pain on his body was relieved.

"Brother, you are brave enough, although you are worse than us, but you are very good, I admire you!"

Li Hui also came to him, said with a smile, and then turned his head to look at Lu Shan, and said, "Fat Lu, how about we make a bet?"

"Bet on what?"

"Just bet...... Who can take off the head of that arrogant guy who was on horseback and shot this brother just now!"

"Bet on it, who is afraid of whom!" As soon as Lu Shan's words fell, he held the Tuxuan Sword in his hand and rushed over.

Not to be outdone, Li Hui pulled out his sword weapon and shouted loudly, "The time has come for the young master to become famous!" and then rushed away in the direction of Dongfang Qingtian.

At this time, Qin Wuyue whispered in Beitangmo's ear: "Don't worry, Ye Chong has brought people over, Chen Zhou will not be lost!"

"Ye Chong?!"

Beitang Mo had already looked up into the distance, only to see a group of people and horses suddenly emerging behind the Chu soldiers, holding high the banner of the word "Ye", and were rushing towards this side.
