Chapter 390: Hand-to-hand combat
The night is cold.
The dappled moonlight envelops everything, and everything is lonely.
In the tranquil Zongqiu Mountain, a figure is running rapidly.
Ye Guan's mood was extremely bad.
Ever since he came into contact with Tianqing City, he had a feeling of being led by the nose, and when he arrived at Zongqiu Mountain, this feeling was even stronger, and after today's incident, this feeling that made him bored reached the extreme.
As a general and battlefield commander, Ye Guan was undoubtedly successful in the process of the conquest of the Eastern Palace. No matter who the opponent is, he has never fallen into such a predicament.
Normally, your strategy would be a few steps ahead of the enemy, but now, things seem to have turned around. When I found some clues, I realized that I was already a few steps behind the other party.
Nothing like this had ever happened before, and he felt like a monkey in a cage, at the mercy of others, and he didn't know until the end.
For Ye Guan, such a feeling is simply more disgusting than eating flies.
And he vaguely felt that the other party had used so many strategies and changed tricks, as if they were all aimed at himself. There is no evidence to confirm this feeling, but this mysterious feeling has always existed in his heart, making him more and more suspicious.
Tianqing City must have arranged for someone to join the battle, there is no doubt about this. If it was only based on Qiu Changcheng Shen Tuyan, he would never have this kind of plan now. Not to mention cracking his own strategy, just the tens of thousands of soldiers who are now rapidly assembled in the Zongqiu Mountain area are not something that Shen Tuyan's ability can do.
Regarding the tens of thousands of sergeants that suddenly appeared, although Ye Guan had guesses, he didn't know what method Tianqing City used to train the sergeants, so that they had combat ability in such a short period of time, whether it was the formation or the rhythm of the battle, they could control it more skillfully.
You must know that even in a border royal city like Dongwangfu, there are constant wars, and there is a set of skillful methods for training recruits, but it is absolutely impossible to train recruits who can go to the battlefield without about six months. The training of soldiers is not achieved overnight, it does not mean that the armor and weapons are issued, and the soldiers can go to the battlefield, which includes many aspects, a single formation conversion, it takes more than a month of training, not to mention other more basic, physical fitness, combat skills and other series of training, which requires a long time of training.
This matter has always been a question in Ye Guan's heart, no matter what angle he uses, he can't solve it. The sergeants of Zongqiu Mountain seemed to have descended from the sky, and suddenly tens of thousands of soldiers with combat effectiveness appeared, although they were not as elite as the original Qiuchang City, but they had completely reached the level where they could go to the battlefield, and they carried out the order without ambiguity.
This question has been haunting Ye Guan's heart, like a fog that cannot be seen clearly, like a fish in his throat.
Thinking about the problem he was facing now, Ye Guan kept walking, and with the fastest speed, he arrived at the front gate of Zhu'an City, the Koulong camp.
The mountains are deep on both sides, and the shouting and killing are constant. The battle was still going on, and Ye Guan was standing in the middle of the camp, his vision on the left and right sides was blocked by towering trees, making it impossible for him to see really.
When he came back this time, he needed to give his order as soon as possible, and Tu Xingping led the troops to arrive later, if Kou Long could not lead the troops to escape by then, it was very likely that all of them would die on the battlefield.
With a slight movement in his heart, and with a flash of his figure, Ye Guan disappeared in place and rushed straight to the battlefield in the deep mountains on the side. On the way, the long sword has been drawn, he is now the strongest combat force of the Dongwangfu troops, and now he is forced to fight hand-to-hand with the other party, and he can kill a few people, which is a few people.
At this point, it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong. In the hearts of both sides, there is only one thought, and that is to put the other to death.
This is true of the sergeants of Zongqiu Mountain, and the same is true of the sergeants of the Eastern Palace.
The battle has been fought to the point of tragedy.
The proposed fortifications, which had been laid out earlier, had been destroyed by enemy troops, and both sides paid the price in blood.
The opposing side was outnumbered and assembled in a group to move forward. Although the number of sergeants in Dongwangfu was small, they had rich combat experience, and after losing the frontal fortifications, they immediately broke into pieces, and instead of fighting the enemy with a large team, they turned into a small team as a unit and constantly cannibalized the enemy troops.
At this moment, the enemy army has advanced a short distance, and the battle situation on both sides of the road should be about the same, if the enemy army is allowed to converge in the middle camp and break into pieces, the Dongwangfu army will have no capital to retreat, and can only fight separately.
But now this way of fighting is also a last resort, if everyone is really gathered to confront the other side head-on, the enemy will definitely win with numerical superiority, there is no doubt about this.
Although the forests in the mountains are lush, there is not much depth from the road, leaving less and less space for the Dongwangfu team to operate, and it is becoming more and more difficult to carry out small-scale battles.
In a corner of the jungle, the fight is underway. A squad of the Dongwangfu encountered the enemy's troops patrolling the mountain, and the two sides couldn't help but say when they met, and immediately fought together.
The East Palace, a team of only seven people, among the seven people is generally the most experienced combat person as the captain, such a team is flexible, but the combat power is not necessarily very strong.
On the other hand, there were twenty or thirty people, surrounding the nearby area, and several team members fought bloodily, but there was no trace of a breakthrough. All the sergeants were wounded, and two were seriously wounded, the armor on their chests and backs had been torn, and blood was dripping from them.
Despite this, there was no cowardice on his face, his eyes were firm, the long knife in his hand was clenched, and he used all his strength to fight the enemy.
"Fold!" After repelling an attack from the enemy, the squad leader immediately shouted, and all the sergeants immediately closed their formation, leaving the two seriously wounded sergeants in it, and the five lightly wounded formed a circle on the periphery, looking at the approaching enemy troops in front of them without squinting.
"How's it going?" Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy had not yet attacked, the squad leader quickly turned his head and looked at the two sergeants who had been seriously wounded. At this moment, the faces of the two were pale, beads of sweat the size of beans were dripping from their foreheads, their breathing was short, and the wounds on their bodies were still dripping blood.
One of them squeezed a smile on his face and wanted to say something, but the rapid exertion of his physical strength could not make him speak, and he breathed rapidly. The other also smiled slightly, shook his head slightly, and did not speak.
It's all in plain sight. The seven-man squad was surrounded by enemy troops, and it was not easy to break through, but only one face, all seven of their own people had been wounded, and although they killed a few enemy soldiers, the number of enemy troops was too large to play a key role at all.
Seeing that both of them smiled slightly, the team leader immediately laughed and said, "Okay, if the brothers take the first step, don't forget to wait for the elder brother, we can also take care of ourselves on Huangquan Road." ”
"Hahaha......" The other sergeants also laughed when they heard the captain say this, and they did not have the slightest cowardice in the face of the enemy army who were eyeing them. I just want to take more enemy troops with me before I die.
"Kill!" The enemy army was about to move, and slowly wrapped it in a closed circle, and the squad leader saw this, immediately made a decision, and immediately ordered, and then the five people immediately attacked, looking for their opponents, and slashed with a knife.
And the two seriously injured sergeants, gritting their teeth and with a hideous smile on their faces, took a breath and rushed forward.
Fierce fighting continues, as it is now, everywhere.
Another shock is over, a seven-man squad, and there are only four people left. Before dying, the two badly wounded sergeants plunged their long knives into the chests of the enemy, and at the same time, several weapons fell, ending their lives. The other one who was killed was also surrounded by the enemy, and after killing two people, he died on the spot.
"Whew...... ...... "The squad leader gasped, he didn't feel sad at all for his colleagues who had died, the fate of a soldier is to die on the battlefield, and the battle went on to such a point, it was a blessing to die in the fight.
The remaining four people had a few wounds on their bodies, and their physical strength was almost exhausted. And the enemy army besieging them still has more than a dozen people. The four of them knew in their hearts that today might be the last battle.
No one spoke, and several people seized this precious respite to recover as much as they could, but the enemy would not give them this time. With a shout of killing, several enemy soldiers pounced together.
"Kill!" the squad leader shouted, and took his knife on, without the slightest hesitation, the three sergeants beside him, attacked at the same time, and immediately killed the enemy together.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the soft groan of the long sword, and then a green light flashed in front of me, and the enemy army that was rushing forward in front of me suddenly broke into two sections, and blood gushed out, spraying directly into the body of several sergeants who were approaching.
Everyone was stunned on the spot, and the two enemy soldiers who were cut off at the waist let out a hoarse scream, which resounded throughout the world, and their torsos fell weakly on the grass, while their limbs slammed forward a few steps, and the gushing blood stained everything around them red, and everyone was stupid.
Another flash of blue light appeared, and the heads of the two enemy soldiers flew up at once, and before they could figure out what was going on, they felt the world spinning, and finally, they saw their own body spurting blood, dead.
A figure flashed out and stood in front of several sergeants, and the strong fighting spirit formed a curtain of light around the body, blocking the blood that was gushing out. At this time, several sergeants saw clearly that standing in front of them was an old man in a green shirt, standing with a sword in his hand, the pale cyan fighting spirit shrouded around his body, and the powerful aura was released, agitating the surrounding air, turning into a breeze.
A thick bloody aura rushed to his face, and the team leader was the first to react, and his heart was immediately ecstatic, and then he said loudly: "I've seen Commander Ye!"
The remaining three sergeants also reacted, looking at Ye Guan's back, clasping their hands into fists, their eyes flashing with fanaticism, and said loudly: "I've seen Commander Ye!"
Ye Guan didn't say the slightest, he stood coldly in place, watching the two headless corpses in front of him gushing blood crazily, and then fell to the ground weakly, and the rest of the enemy troops in front of him retreated one after another, with a frightened look in his eyes.
"Whoosh......"
Without seeing Ye Guan make any movements, several green rays flashed out, and immediately rushed towards several enemy soldiers, who didn't understand what was going on, they felt their bodies light, and an obvious sword mark appeared on their chests, cutting off their breastplates and destroying their bodies. Immediately, blood involuntarily spurted out of the mouth and nose, followed by the pain of piercing the heart.
However, the pain did not last long, and in a matter of moments, their consciousness vanished, replaced by endless darkness.
Ye Guan stood with his sword in his shoulder, without any movement, but he just stood here, like a god of war, the appearance of an immortal wind bone, but now it seems to have changed.
The enemy army began to retreat, and finally a feeling of fear appeared in their hearts, and in the face of Ye Guan, they did not have the slightest power to resist.
Ye Guan's face was expressionless, and the long sword suddenly swung a few times in front of him, and then he turned his head and looked at the four soldiers behind him.
At this moment, behind him, the blood of the last few enemy soldiers gushed out, and they died on the spot.
