Chapter 121: Fight to the Death
Xiao Wenjun, who was hidden in the shadows, felt differently, this was also the first time she participated in a large-scale war after many years, and as the leader of a strange army, she must be stable.
A deafening sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and the earth trembled lightly, and I looked along, but I saw a row of men and horses at the end of the horizon, and bright flags fluttering in the wind under the sky.
The jagged swords plunged into the sky, glowing with a cold cold light, and the horse's hooves on the ground made a heavy rumbling sound, rushing with an unstoppable momentum, and the dust raised was billowing and surging like the tide of the sea, which was daunting and terrifying.
Xiao Wenjun and Wang Jiuyuan glanced at each other, both saw the solemnity and the belief in fighting to the death in each other's eyes, she reached out and gently held his hand, and said softly: "Jiuyuan, you once promised me three things. ”
"The second thing is: promise me that no matter what, you will live!"
The sound of iron hooves cut Xiao Wenjun's voice to pieces, but he still heard it clearly, and the temperature of his palms flowed into his heart with the blood, in the calm of this moment before life and death, like cooking oil on a hot fire.
The heartbeat unconsciously accelerated, and the person unconsciously approached her, the soft lips were lightly imprinted on her forehead, and he smiled and whispered in her ear: "You forgot, when I fell on Fengshan, I was one against a hundred." Now I promise you, we are all going to live! ”
The warmth of this moment did not last long, and soon the whole wilderness was filled with black pressed soldiers, and they rushed in like a tide. I vaguely heard the conversation between the leaders of the two sides, and it didn't take long for the shouts of killing to sound.
First of all, the archers came on the field, and a rain of arrows roared from the opposite side, and the sound of metal intersecting was everywhere, and screams were also heard, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Fortunately, this place has been used as a royal enclosure for many years, and the materials are abundant, Sun Zheng has some talents as the commander of the Gong Wei Division, and he has also accumulated battlefield experience with Xiao Daoyuan, and after a short discussion with Xiao Wenjun and Wang Jiuyuan yesterday, he formulated a strategy against the enemy.
Overnight, the prepared grain and grass were placed in the shape of a wall, and in order to prevent the enemy from using fire, they also doused it with water.
In the first round of arrow rain, Sun Zheng's personnel losses were not large, but the opponent's lack of experience on the spot, there were not a few people who were shot off the horse, these people were only slightly injured when they fell off the horse, but they trampled on each other in chaos and panic, and lost a lot.
Morale dropped a little in an instant.
Yu Wenyu, who was hiding behind, had a gloomy face, he was already out of the way at the moment, he thought that he had brought ten times the number of people on the other side, and the matter of forcing the palace would definitely be caught, but he didn't expect that it would be unfavorable, but at this moment, he couldn't think too much.
If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!
"Second round of attacks!"
Zeng Biao's heart was also anxious and panicked, although he was not severely punished by the emperor that day, but with his understanding of the emperor, after returning to the palace, what was waiting for him must be the emperor's thunderous anger.
Rather than this, it is better to let go and fight for a future, and it happened that the cronies around him told him that the eldest prince Yu Wenyu also had the idea of success, so the two hit it off and hastily planned this forced palace.
Finally, he has a little brain, the second round of arrow rain, the arrow is added with oil, in this autumn season, the grain and grass are ignited when they meet the fire.
But the other party predicted his actions!
The rocket hit the grain and grass pile, and instead of the expected fire, it quickly extinguished.
And Sun Zheng also lit the fire oil here, aiming at the enemy's horses and noodles, after a rain of rockets, Zeng Biao's people suffered a lot of losses, and the cry of ghosts and wolves, and the neighing of war horses sounded in the phalanx.
The soldiers burned by the fire oil rolled on the ground with their faces covered, and the horses disturbed by the fire broke free from their reins, causing a small chaos, and another stampede, this time with more people broken.
Originally, the cavalry was invincible on the flat battlefield, but because Yu Wenyu wanted to keep the emperor's life, he "justifiably" obtained the edict of succession, which was to prohibit the cavalry from charging, but only to deterrent it.
Unexpectedly, it became the target of the other party's chaos, and its own advantages became disadvantages.
Sun Zheng was originally determined to die, no matter how Xiao Wenjun boosted his morale last night, he couldn't shake the despair in his heart, ten times his own number...... On the other side, there is also the Iron Cavalry, the king of the flat battlefield!
But now, according to Xiao Wenjun's analysis and strategy, the effect is so good, and hope is burning in his eyes!
What Xiao Wenjun said last night was all fulfilled today.
"Commander Sun, Yuwen Yu seems to be mighty and majestic, but in fact, he has no responsibility, and he wants to be that, and he wants to set up a memorial arch. Tomorrow he will definitely not charge with cavalry, and he will have to write him an edict of succession with His Majesty's life. ”
"You just have to follow our countermeasures and be flexible."
"Even if you die, you'll have to pull a few more pads!"
Thinking of this, Sun Zheng's eyes became even more resolute!
Taking advantage of the enemy's chaos, Sun Zheng shot several rounds of arrows in a row, and the losses of Yu Wenyu's side reached three digits, approaching four digits.
Splashes of blood were thrown in the air, and stumps and severed arms rolled to the ground, I don't know if the blood mist stained the sunrise red, or the sunrise stained the sky red, the picture was cruel and tragic.
"The cavalry disperses and retreats!"
"The cavalry disperses and retreats!"
"The cavalry disperses and retreats!"
Zeng Biao was hoarse and shouted three times in a row!
"Change infantry, shield forward, spear behind!"
The smell of blood filled the air, and the five princes hiding behind also smelled this disgusting smell, raised their eyes to see the smoke billowing in the sky, and lowered their heads to the ground with corpses all over the field, and blood flowed like a river.
Fear and despair suddenly rose in his heart, he had never been on the battlefield, facing such bloody and cruel, death harvesting life, his fragile mind was shattered in an instant, and he only felt that the martial arts he had cultivated over the years were vulnerable on the battlefield!
In fact, over the years, there have been many people who have died directly or indirectly in his hands, but he has used some selfish means, and the people under his hands have gone forward one after another, willing to be the knife in his hands.
"Let's run! While Yu Wenyu hasn't hit yet! The fifth prince stared at his blood-red eyes and gasped.
"Your Highness, do we really want to leave the emperor and run away?"
"I don't want to, but I don't want to die!"
"Your Highness, let's not talk about whether you can escape or not, even if you really have the life to escape this time, if the eldest prince succeeds to the throne, can he let you go? Where can you escape to at that time, the whole of Daqi will be the world of the Great Prince! ”
"Yes! I can escape for a while, but I can't escape for a lifetime! We might as well fight and have a clear conscience! ”
"Nope! No! The battlefield is terrifying! I don't want to die here right now! ”
The five princes were already frightened, and they couldn't listen to the advice no matter what, and escaped under the protection of a group of dead soldiers!
That's really embarrassing!
