Outside the city of Shangluo has become a continuous construction site, and many unclothed laborers have been driven out of the city, digging ravines and ramming earth to build walls around the entire city.

As the base camp of Guo Jing's army, this city was actually very well equipped with all kinds of fortifications, but the successive accidents and the strong combat effectiveness of the Jin army in this made Guo Shi and other generals lack confidence in the various defenses established at present.

At present, in the Shangluo realm, the Jin army is rapidly approaching the Shangluo city in the north and south, and the forts stationed in various places along the way have been uprooted one after another, invincible and unstoppable. There were even some ranger scouts who blatantly roamed around the periphery, and it was conceivable that it would not be long before a large Jin army would appear in the outskirts of Shangluo City.

The various defense works that have been in operation for several years have not yet brought people a sense of security, but what kind of impregnable defense line can be erected in a hurry? Therefore, the current busyness is just a little manpower, in order to obtain a little psychological comfort, in order to show that he still does not lose his perseverance.

At present, the winter cold is already extremely obvious, Shangluo City is located near Weishui, there is already ice floe on the river, and the surrounding suburbs are also frosty and frozen soil. If you want to dig, you need to double the manpower, so now the outside of Upper Los Angeles is full of scolding and scolding of the sergeants, and the begging and grief of the hard laborers.

Feng Shan was in the midst of the unclothed labor, holding a pointed wooden stick in his hand, and in the kicking and scolding of those soldiers, he weakly waved the wooden stick in his hand and chiseled the ground with the pointed end, and the concussive force from the hard ground rushed straight along the wooden stick to his arms, making his arms even more sore.

"Lao Tzu really doesn't know whether it is a good fate or a bad fate, and he has obviously escaped from Huayin......"

Feng Shan looked left and right while chiseling the ground, and his heart was full of bitterness.

Since he was born, most of the time has been spent in chaos and turmoil, so the current panic and nervous atmosphere did not make him too frightened, but he thought that he had finally escaped from the Huayin dock wall before the Tongguan Wang Shi launched an attack, and originally planned to find a remote place in the suburbs and hide it temporarily, but he didn't expect to be caught by the scouts of the Shangluo Hu army, and then he was coerced to Shangluo.

Now that the fierce battle is imminent, the Shangluo defenders don't care at all about the skills of a mere bastard, and even if he has any clever skills, it is difficult for him to play a big role in such a situation.

"It's better to run away......"

Unlike the numb and miserable slaves around them, they didn't know exactly what was going on, and only vaguely knew that a big war was going to happen. Feng Shan knew that there was a powerful and irresistible male master who was coming towards this realm with great momentum, and he had seen with his own eyes the fierceness of the Wang Division's combat power, which was not at all an opponent that mortal flesh and blood could resist.

No matter what the victory or defeat of these two sides, Feng Shan didn't care much, after all, he was not very close to either side, and people didn't look at him squarely, the most important thing for him was to save his own life, not to be affected by the pond fish and die an unknown death.

At present, the labor on the construction site accounts for the majority, and the situation is extremely chaotic, but it is really not easy to get out and sneak away. Because there were small groups of soldiers everywhere on the construction site, and they roamed around to oversee the laborers, and whenever they found that the laborers had any unusual behavior, they were all immediately shot and killed, and there was no chance for them to resist the flow of people.

Although Feng Shan's life-saving skills of escaping from the battle are very good, he doesn't dare to slip away at the moment, and he doesn't dare to attract too much attention so as not to make this flesh and blood body a live target, so he can only do things with his head down at the moment, and he doesn't dare to jump out.

Although the soldiers were fierce in their drive to hard labor, the real effect was not great. Even if those high-level generals blocked the news of the enemy's situation, the panicked atmosphere could not be hidden. There was an endless stream of front-line escapees from all over the suburbs, all of them with pale faces and frightened expressions, and their eyes were full of palpitations.

Moreover, a considerable part of the defenders inside and outside the city suddenly left the camp and retreated, and their actions were hurried and panicked, which could not hide the hard labor around them. If it weren't for the fact that there were still enough soldiers inside and outside the city to supervise the work and control the situation, these soldiers would have dispersed in a hurry.

But even if the situation is not out of control at the moment, those hard laborers are not fools, and instead of wasting their energy in vain, it is better to save some of their strength and wait for the rout of the battle line to flee later.

Guo Shi was covered with thick armor and covered with linen, and rode out of the city, with hundreds of descendants gathered around him, all of whom also had a sad and heroic face.

Although it seems to be noisy inside and outside the city at the moment, in fact, the military power that Guo Shi can control at the moment has been weakened to the extreme, and there are still less than 3,000 troops still under his control, and there are nearly 10,000 hard laborers scattered around the city.

However, once war breaks out, these rabble of hard laborers have no combat value at all, and may flee timidly and attack their own front.

Since the Jin army and Wang Shi moved westward, only a few days have passed, but the strength of the Hu army entrenched in Shangluo has declined to the extreme.

Leaving aside for the time being, the unexpected capture of Guo Jing, the commander, brought a blow to the morale of the entire army, and very few of the separatist troops scattered in the suburbs were able to withdraw. And even if it was withdrawn, all kinds of ordnance and armor staff had been discarded, and they were killed by the Jin army's Wang Shi, and they couldn't be used anymore.

And Guo Chun and Guo Shi's opposition also caused a crack in the Shangluo base camp, and the generals stood in their own lines, and the fighting spirit had been completely lost, and some simply led the troops to temporarily avoid the side, obviously only waiting for the battle to happen, and the main force of the Jin army was entangled by Guo Shi, so they immediately led their troops to flee.

These people are not leaving now, but they are worried that once they rashly withdraw from the battle formation, it may trigger the overall mutiny and rout of the army, and there is no one to entangle behind them, and they can't get rid of the Jin army's momentum to chase and kill.

Guo Shi did not forget Guo Jing's instructions before he was arrested, but now that the collapse of people from all walks of life is imminent, the situation is so critical that Guo Shi does not allow Guo Shi to make any more distant hopes of retreating to Sanfu.

In front of him, there is only one way to stick to the road of fighting to the death, once the whole army is withdrawn, the complete collapse of the army's morale will only be in an instant, and maybe there are some generals with treacherous schemes, waiting for the opportunity to defect to him, and fight against him in order to survive.

If you don't move, you wait to die, and if you move, you die faster. Guanzhong has been turbulent and frequent in the past few years, and as the situation becomes more and more bad, Guo Shi will inevitably imagine how he ends in his spare time, but when the real end of the road is in front of him, he still has some resentment and unacceptability in his heart.

It's not that he thinks he still has the possibility of defeating the Jin army, but he lost too hastily, it's like a joke, and there is no room for struggle at all.

"I wonder how those thieves in Sanfu felt after learning about my defeat?"

After such a thought came to his mind, the corners of Guo Shi's mouth also flashed with a smile full of bitterness and cruelty.

No matter what unrealistic ambitions he had before, but now the facts told him that in front of the powerful Jin army Wang Shi, the so-called Guanzhong Qunhao was just a joke, and he was now about to be defeated, not because he was weaker than others, but because he happened to be attacked by the Jin army first.

The reason why these so-called heroes in Guanzhong are just a group of naughty boys, and the reason why they attack each other so much is only because the real strong people have not yet joined in to compete.

Guo Shi was in a heavy mood and patrolled all parties, unaware that there was a pair of eyes hidden among those servants who were frequently looking at him.

Feng Shan didn't have any ambitions, he felt that he had the opportunity to defect to the main general's life and seek merit, and his rich escape experience made him deeply realize that in this kind of battle formation, being able to recognize the location of the main general's Chinese army is really of great significance for escape.

If the men and horses of the headquarters can still resist a little, and then withdraw the army in a whole system, then following the Chinese army will undoubtedly be able to survive to the greatest extent, and it is far safer than following those scattered soldiers to flee for their lives.

But in Feng Shan's opinion, this possibility is really very small, so he must try to avoid the direction of the main general's escape, because it must be the main force of the enemy's pursuit, and he is desperate to capture and kill important people. As for the scattered soldiers, they don't cause undue attention.

Guo Shi didn't know that he had been used as a beacon of escape by his subordinates, but even if he knew, it was difficult for him to think more sadly and indignantly at the moment, because the expatriate scouts had already galloped back.

At the same time, the scouts don't need to make a detailed report, because the smoke and dust are already flying in the vast space between the heavens and the earth in the distance, and the pillar of smoke is like a running dragon rushing straight to Shangluo City, and the one running at the head of the dragon is the Jin army Wang Division, whether it is the morale of the army or the armor and ordnance, there is a world of difference between the Fenwu army and the defenders!

"Quickly assemble the array, and line up in front of the city!"

Guo Shi knew very well how powerful the Jin ordnance was, whether it was the sudden destruction of the Huayin Yang's dock wall and Wuguan, or the frightened recounting of the soldiers who fled and returned, Guo Shi deeply understood that defending the city was only a dead end, and only a field battle could slightly level the difference between the strength and weakness of the enemy and us in the use of weapons, or it could cause some casualties to the enemy!

The Jin army's royal division rushed here in a torrent of light cavalry battle formations, and thousands of war horses flew on the ground on the banks of the Weishui River, making this side of the world tremble. Even the elite subordinates around Guo Shi had uncontrollable fear on their faces, not to mention those ordinary servants.

But now they were all in the outskirts of the city, and there was no shelter around them, and although they were already shocked by the strength of the cavalry, they were still driven by the soldiers around them and gathered with swords, and stacked layer by layer at the front of the battle line, forming a crowded and incomparably chaotic wall of flesh and blood, wailing in despair, helplessly begging for mercy from the heavens.

"Take me as the target, form a battle to meet it!"

Behind the side of those soldiers, Guo Shi raised his hand to tighten the leather of his armor, his face showed a bit of the same desperate madness, at the moment he had nothing else to ask for, just hoped that the last battle in his life could be a little more heroic.

However, at this moment, a sharp and terrible roar suddenly sounded in the hastily formed formation of the soldiers: "The soldiers of the king division have already infiltrated the formation, and those who want to live will follow me to kill the thieves!" ”

In such a noisy environment, such a roar really could not attract too many people, and even though it was drowned out by the endless sound, suddenly a fierce javelin flew out of the line, directly into the face of a bearded knight, whose man fell from his horse in blood, and after the horse was frightened, it also roared and kicked and rushed.

The riot centered on this point, quickly spreading in all directions, and soon formed an uncontrolled chaotic area in this already crowded formation.

"The king is in battle, fight back and survive!"

Similar roars came and went, and soon formed a huge wave of sound, and Feng Shan, who was the initiator, had already hunched over into the crowd of riots.

The rich experience accumulated over the years has allowed him to be unaffected by the outside world even in such a chaotic and noisy situation, and use every little variable to increase his chances of survival.

Once the riot broke out, it could no longer be contained, and the chaos spread rapidly, and even the soldiers in the flanks and rear who had not yet been integrated into a formation were affected by the chaos and became chaotic.

On the battlefield at this moment, the light cavalry of the Jin army who were rushing had already stopped outside Lixu, and the last round of rest before changing horses and forming a whole formation for a formal battle. Seeing that the enemy formation had begun to collapse on its own, the main general Xiao Yuandong also immediately flew on his horse and ordered loudly: "Attack quickly, and you will capture Guo Thief's formation!" ”

The horn of the king's charge sounded again, which undoubtedly added dry wood to the enemy army that had already become a boiling momentum!

Although the chaos on the periphery had not yet spread to Guo Shi's surroundings, the formation that had just formed around him was inevitably violently impacted, retreating again and again, and was directly pushed under the city pass by those surging soldiers.

"Quickly throw the hanging basket and welcome the general into the city to resist the enemy!"

At this time, the city gate facing the direction of the enemy was already congested inside and outside, and a large number of soldiers were piled up here and could not advance or retreat, while the soldiers around Guo Shi raised their heads in unison.

Fortunately, the chaos outside the city had not yet spread to the city, and after hearing the roar, even a dozen hanging baskets were thrown down. At this time, the chaotic soldiers also rushed to the city wall, and when they saw this scene, they were like drowning people grasping the straw that saved their lives, and they rushed to the place where the hanging basket fell.

Feng Shan knew that this seemed to be a dead end, he had already reached the edge of the crowd by constantly pushing and shoving, and on the way to escape, he had been collecting those scattered ordnance, at this time he was holding a gun in one hand, a knife in the other, and a loose armor on his left shoulder, and his side was gradually no longer crowded, wandering outside the crowd, and his mouth kept making inexplicable shouts.

Sure enough, seeing that the hanging basket was being grabbed by the chaotic soldiers, the defenders at the head of the city immediately cut off the ropes connecting the hanging baskets, and then frequently shot at the city, and soon a large number of bones were piled up in the area of the city tower.

Seeing that the defenders of the city were killing so frantically, it was hopeless to enter the city, and those rebels naturally would not stay in the place of death anymore and began to run around the city.

And Feng Shan, who had already broken away from the team, was even more free at this time, and directly stopped moving in the dead corner under the city wall, at first glance it looked like an unremarkable corpse, which allowed him to avoid the flying arrows to the greatest extent, but it was not enough for him to become absolutely safe, so he was also watching the six roads, carrying a corpse at the foot of the city wall to adjust his hiding place at any time.

After the rebels were dispersed and fled, the city tower was finally a little deserted, but at this time, the cavalry of the Jin army had already rushed to the front, and the fierce bow and crossbow arrows covered the left near area, which also made Guo Shi unable to calmly retreat into the city.

However, the current situation is already like this, even if Guo Shi retreats into the city again, it is no longer meaningful, he directly ordered the soldiers to guard in front of the city tower, and once again gathered hundreds of soldiers around him into a formation.

Although the Jin army rushed to the front, there was a rain of arrows from the defenders at the head of the city, and a large number of corpses were piled up on the ground, which was not conducive to the charge, so they could only splash the arrows they carried outward.

Guo Shi has also been paying attention to the changes in the enemy's offensive, although the Jin army's bows and crossbows can also be said to be sophisticated, but the power is not as exaggerated as those heavy weapons after all, and the arrows carried by the light cavalry sweep are only a small number after all.

As soon as he noticed that the enemy's long-range firepower was gradually exhausted, and there was a faint tendency to retreat, Guo Shi was already happy in his heart, and raised his horse lance with both arms and shouted: "Follow me to kill the thief army!" ”

With the roar, Guo Shi and the hundreds of elite soldiers around him all lifted the reins and flew over the corpse pile, rushing towards the opposite battle array! Although he has been at an absolute disadvantage since the start of the war, it does not mean that he does not even have the confidence to fight hard, you must know that the elites of the lineage around him are also strong soldiers who have switched to the north and south and killed people without blinking!

The Jin army did not have many light cavalry on this road, but there were only more than 2,000 people, and at this moment they contracted and adjusted the battle formation, just in time for Guo Shi to lead the crowd to rush out, and the situation seemed to be forced back by the Hu army for a while.

"One more shot!"

When Xiao Yuandong saw this, he ordered again, and the soldiers twisted their waists and turned around to shoot out the few arrows left in the quiver. This round of arrows was not as violent as it had been at the beginning, but it also caused great hindrance to the enemy's momentum, and the distance between the two sides quickly widened.

Seeing that the enemy army had been temporarily forced to retreat, he was not in a hurry to chase after the weak and defeat the strong, but led the crowd to walk around the city for a week and then returned to the city wall, and at the same time ordered the surrounding soldiers to disperse, and gathered some of the defeated soldiers outside the city as much as possible.

Since the Jin army marched westward, it has been like a sharp weapon piercing the heart, and it is so powerful that it is desperate. At present, his striker is forced to retreat, although the main thing is the opponent's active tactical retreat, but this is enough to make Guo Shi, who has been depressed for a long time, feel a little excited.

After the enemy withdrew, he made a whole formation in the suburbs, Guo Shi also had a little crazy thoughts in his heart for a while, he rode his horse alone, looked at the enemy battle formation on the opposite side, crossed the horse's back, and laughed loudly: "Taiyuan Guo Shi is here, who will dare to ...... with me?"

Suddenly, the war horse under him staggered, Guo Shi's roar naturally stopped abruptly, and he looked at the ground below him in disbelief, where there were originally several human corpses, but just as the horse's hooves were about to land, suddenly a bloody corpse jumped out of the horizon, and then the horse's hooves were directly stuck in the gap between the corpses, and they were carried to the side by inertia.

Originally, Guo Shi's superb riding skills would not be unstable because of this, but he saw with his own eyes that the originally dead transparent corpse suddenly seemed to come to life, and the hair in his heart, even the hair on the back of his neck suddenly rose, and his reaction was inevitably a little sluggish.

"Damn ......"

Feng Shan was also bitter in his heart, he finally sneaked here, and then he could roll into a shallow trench, and crawl out of the front battlefield under the cover of dirt, but he didn't expect that at this most critical moment, Guo Shixiao made Meng Lang, and happened to rush to his position, if he continued to pretend to be dead and was steady, it was inevitable that his tendons would be broken and fractured, so he naturally couldn't care about anything else, and jumped away directly.

There was such a variable on the battlefield, and both armies were dumbfounded. Especially Guo Shi's pro-soldiers who scattered to collect the chaotic pawns saw this scene, their eyes were already split, and they rushed over one after another.

"Fight!"

Seeing this scene, Feng Shan secretly gritted his teeth, pulled out a war knife sandwiched under his armpit with his backhand, and rolled directly at Guo Shi, who had not stood firm. Guo Shi only heard a strange sound in his ears, and subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see a hideous and distorted face suddenly jumped into the field of vision, he subconsciously wanted to swing the blade to block, but in his hand was a horse lance more than a foot long, the lance had not left the ground, and the rusty blade had directly slashed his neck!

Blood splashed, Feng Shan's wrist turned and he was about to cut off Guo Shi's head, but the blade was too blunt after all, and Guo Shi's personal soldiers were about to rush in an instant.

Between the lightning and flint, Feng Shan didn't have time to be greedy anymore, and at this moment, the fallen war horse and horse foot were also pulled out of the pile of corpses and struggled to stand up. Feng Shan grabbed the reins with his hand, slashed at the horse's buttocks, and when the war horse rushed forward in pain, he turned over and jumped on the horse's back, and then hugged the horse's neck and rushed straight in the direction of Wang Shi.

"What a strong man! Whose subordinate is that? Strike quickly! ”

Xiao Yuandong, who was on the other side, also saw that the strong man easily killed the enemy's main general in the battle formation, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, high-fived and admired, and then waved his arm and ordered.
