Since Cao Shen sent troops to rescue the border pass, he has always been undressed and his weapons have not left his hands.

For him, guarding the border pass is no less important than Bai Qi annihilating the Chu army.

Because of the loss of the border pass, the entire Qingzhou will be exposed to the enemy's field of vision, and there will be no danger to defend.

After Cao Shen defended the city for a few days, he was also injured!

The Chu army attacked the city again.

Cao Guogong and the soldiers fought the enemy together.

The commander-in-chief of the three armies, wielding his swords, personally went into battle to kill the enemy, which is rare in the battles of various countries.

Because the marshal is the soul of the three armies, if the marshal has an accident, then this battle will be self-defeating.

After all, after the soldiers are leaderless, they don't know what to do!

It is conceivable what role Cao Shen was forced to do!

A few more days passed.

Cao Shen had more scars on his body, but he still hadn't removed his armor.

At such a critical moment, he was absolutely not allowed to go down from the city to recuperate.

As long as he stays here, then the soldiers of the whole army will have this confidence to defend this city!

Ten days later.

The wind and sand outside the plug are monstrous.

Cao Shen was already seriously injured.

He brought 50,000 soldiers, and there were not many left.

Casualties in the war are inevitable, but this battle is really too difficult.

A lot of people have already quit and don't want to stay here anymore!

The living soldiers, watching the robe brothers who are familiar with them constantly lying down beside them, that kind of feeling, is really uncomfortable.

Maybe one second the two of them were still calling each other brothers and smiling, but the next second, one of the two people might fall heavily on the city wall.

After these people died, they didn't have time to buy them into their ancestral graves, but were hastily buried in mass graves.

This is the cruelty of war!

Cao Shen was covered in blood, and one of the generals came to Cao Guogong's side and couldn't bear to say: "Marshal, why don't you withdraw first? If you continue like this, your body can't stand it!"

Cao Shen looked at him and found that his body was bleeding, so he frowned and said, "What about the military doctor?"

The general replied, "The military doctors are almost all dead. ”

Because of the lack of soldiers, all the people who could be used were sent by Cao Shen to the city to defend the city.

First the baggage soldiers, then the grain and grass soldiers, the grooms, the men, and finally, even the military doctors, the so-called medics, had to go to the front line to defend the city in person.

After several battles, the Wei army has been completely lost.

Cao Shen shook his head helplessly, and smiled at the general: "When His Majesty was still the eldest prince, he participated in the military and politics, and at that time it was also to resist the invasion of the Chu State.

What Ben Shuai wants to say is that since His Majesty began to participate in military and political affairs, the soldiers of Wei State have not been reluctant to steal life in the foreign war of resistance, and Ben Shuai is the commander of the three armies, and this moment is the time to kill the enemy and serve the country, how can he retreat from the battle? This battle, it seems that we are going to lose, but in fact, we have won, and we can win this battle, and we have poured all our efforts into it.

Laying down such a big stroke, it is enough to comfort Ben Shuai's life, even if he dies, there is no regret, since he is destined to not get rid of fate, then just stand and live, and steal his life, it is not what I should do in Wei. ”

What Cao Shen said was all heartfelt words, this battle has been fought so far, even if it is a retreat, where can it retreat?

Don't want the border gates?

Buying time for Bai Qi is the only thing he has to go to now and the only thing he can do.

"Whew-"

The only remaining soldiers defending the city heard a horn sound in their ears, it was the horn of the Chu army, and they came to attack the city again!

Cao Shen struggled to get up and said to all the injured soldiers in front of him: "Defend the city!"

Although they were all wounded at the moment, none of them were not in the Chu army when they were attacking the city, they forcibly lifted their spirits, stood up one after another, picked up their blades and bows and arrows, and shouted in unison: "Defend the city!"

This is the demeanor of Wei Guonan!

Each of them has parents, brothers, sisters, wives, and children, but after today, it is likely that a large number of them will not be able to accompany their loved ones.

But they have no regrets.

Because behind them, is the State of Wei!

It's your own home.

Fighting to protect the homeland, there is nothing to say, even if it is death, it is a well-deserved death.

In the future, when his child knows that his father died fighting for the country, he will definitely give a thumbs up and say to the people around him, my father is a hero!

That's enough!

Defend the city!

Cao Guogong personally brought a bow and arrow, kept pulling the string to open the bow, and when an arrow was shot, a Chu soldier would fall in response.

The soldiers defending the city were also aroused by Cao Guogong's behavior.

In Wei law, it was illegal to fight or beat someone in the street.

But now, they are fighting with the Chu army in a grand manner, and it is a fight of life and death, no one will say anything, but will give them a thumbs up.

Follow the Guogong to fight, or to fight in groups, this is a blessing that I can't cultivate in a few lifetimes, with the Lord Guogong here, what's so terrible?

Fuck it!

Bai Qi over there.

The Chu army has not heard anything for nearly twenty days.

Presumably, at this moment, their food and grass have been exhausted.

Bai got up and went to the outside of the tent of the three armies, raised his internal strength, and shouted to Xiang Yan in the air with his loudest voice: "Back then, the patriarch of your Xiang clan, Xiang Nantian, died at the hands of His Majesty, the Emperor of Wei, and now you, Xiang Yan, also want to repeat the mistakes of the past? Surrender quickly, you have no food and grass, you are exhausted, and you are stubbornly resisting in the corner, and the final result is just to seek your own death!"

This sentence was actually said to the soldiers of the Chu army.

Sure enough, after the hungry soldiers of the Chu army heard Bai Qi's words, some of them were restless.

No wonder there is a lot less food to eat these days, it turns out that there is no food and grass.

How can you fight a war without enough to eat?

Although this sentence is unlikely to cause a mutiny within the Chu State, it will definitely cause the cranky thoughts in the hearts of the soldiers of the Chu army.

That's what Bai Qi wants.

He continued: "Soldiers of the Chu army, surrender quickly, the Wei army will not kill the prisoners! If you surrender, make sure you have something to eat, drink, and wear!"

This sentence is the real killer move.

Don't underestimate the power of this sentence, it is enough to make some Chu soldiers take risks.

In the tent of the state of Chu.

Xiang Yan was depressed.

The soldiers around him were filled with righteous indignation one by one, and they all wanted to lead the army to kill them.

But Xiang Yan knew that he could not choose to break through until he had to, otherwise the officers and men of the whole army would be in danger of being wiped out.

He asked a close general beside him, "Is there enough food and grass in the army for a few days?"

The general who heard the question said, "General, it is only enough for ten days at most. ”

Xiang Yan gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, make up these ten days of grain and grass for five days, within these five days, we must ensure that every soldier has enough to eat, and after five days, if you can't wait for reinforcements, then break through!"

The generals of the Chu army clasped their fists together and said, "No!"

Five days passed quickly.

After Bai Qi spoke out a few days ago, he had a hunch in his heart that the Chu army would take advantage of the buffer time of these few days to break through.

So he's been preparing.

Sure enough.

The Chu army broke through.

Led by Xiang Yan personally.

Bai Qi gathered his troops in time and killed Xiang Yan.

The Chu army that fled in other places could not be ignored by Bai Qi.

But only this Xiang Yan must die today!

As long as the enemy boss dies, the battle is basically won.

The two sides fought bloodily for a day and a night, and Xiang Yan was killed by the rebels.

This rising star after Xiang Nantian was killed by an unknown Wei pawn.

He was held very high by Emperor Chu, saying that the blue is better than the blue.

To put it simply, he is even better than Xiang Nantian.

But he still died at the hands of the Wei people.

It can be described as a cycle of heavenly principles and karma.

After Xiang Yan's death, the nearly 200,000 army of the Chu State became a plate of scattered sand, which was quickly broken by the Wei army one by one.

After this battle, the Wei army captured 160,000 Chu soldiers.

How to deal with these 160,000 people has become a top priority at present.

And winning this battle also completely established the name of Bai Qi's famous general.

But at the same time, something big happened at the border pass.

A big thing that made Bai Qi heartbroken and cried bitterly.

Border.

Cao Shen's legs had been hit by arrows, and the arrows were poisonous, and the arrows entered the bone marrow.

If Zhu Yanxiu is here at this moment, he can still save his legs, but it is a pity that Zhu Yanxiu is still enjoying happiness in the capital.

After Zhao Changqing returned to the capital from the Changliu Mountains, Zhu Yanxiu followed him all the way back.

Therefore, it is difficult for Cao Shen's legs to be saved.

After guarding the border for several days in succession, the Wei army was almost dead and wounded.

Even though Cao Shen couldn't stand because of his legs, he still didn't go down to the city to cultivate, but asked someone to move a chair and sit on the head of the city to continue to supervise the battle.

The famous generals of the Wei State who have been able to crisscross the battlefield for many years have been forced to this extent, and it is conceivable how tragic this battle of defending the city is.

The Chu army once again attacked the city.

Cao Shen sat on a chair, holding a sword in his hand, and watched the Chu army attack quietly.

First one, two, and then the Chu army quickly opened a hole in the border pass, so that a large number of Chu soldiers and soldiers continued to attack from this pass.

Cao Shen was already exhausted, he closed his eyes, and muttered: "Bai Qi, Bai Qi, don't let down the old man to give you a creation, the key to this game depends on whether you can defeat the Chu army in time." ”

After saying this, the only marshal of Wei who can be called a general and a prime minister on the horse briefly reviewed his life.

suddenly found that in his life, he was not the most proud when he was young, but the most proud when he decided to follow His Majesty, who was still the eldest prince.

During this time, he dedicated his life's learning to the Wei State.

Even if he was reduced to such a deplorable situation now, he still left Bai Qi a plan to defeat the Chu army.

merely

He suddenly chuckled and said, "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, this border pass has never been lost, but I didn't expect it to be lost in the hands of the old man today, I really can't stand Your Majesty!"

The moment he opened his eyes, he found that he was surrounded by soldiers of the Chu State.

Is the last Wei soldier also dead?

Cao Shen looked at Chu Jun and thought to himself, these Chu barbarians, in the end, are still not as handsome as my Wei boys.

At this time, the general of the Chu army appeared.

Cao Shen's pupils shrank, and he was surprised: "It's you?"

The man said, "It's me!"

Cao Shen suddenly smiled freely and said, "Don't do it yet?"

The man asked: "I hate the Wei State, I hate the Wei Emperor, but this does not prevent this general from admiring you, you are not easy, you only started to take charge of the army in the twilight of your life, I didn't expect that after only two or three years, I will go to Huangquan today, do you feel that the years are not forgiving?"

Cao Shen heard the voice, but suddenly laughed strangely: "You know a fart!"

After the words fell, he immediately waved his long sword and hanged himself.

After his death, he sat upright and did not lose the courage of the Great Wei Kingdom.

Seeing this, the lord of the Chu State couldn't help but sigh and said: "What's so good about him, worthy of a person like you to die for him? Come to my Chu country, it will be inexhaustible glory and wealth!"

Perhaps, only Cao Shen's words before his death can answer his question, that is: "You know a fart!"

After the lord of Chu finished muttering to himself, he shouted in front of the three armies: "Kill the Marshal of Wei State Cao Shen, Chu Hong is also!"
