Chapter 289: The martyr is in his twilight years
Xu Jie's ribs were broken, and he kept coughing up blood, he wanted to get up and avenge the ten generals, but he had no strength, and even he himself would soon die.
The Khitans rushed up with a scimitar, Xu Jie silently closed his eyes, life and death brothers, if they can die together, they are closer than brothers...... After waiting for a while, the knife did not fall, and hurriedly opened his eyes, it turned out that the Mo knife hand had killed again, and they swung their knives hard, chopping the Khitan soldiers into three sections.
Xu Jie grinned, and under the joy, his body actually had some strength, and he tried to squirm his body, like a caterpillar, and it was difficult to reach the side of the ten generals.
It turns out that the ten generals are not dead yet, but there is only one breath left.
Seeing Xu Jie, he reluctantly showed a smile, comforted his brother: "It's okay, I'm not different from you, I, I have a lady, I have children, and those who have children are not afraid of death......"
Xu Jie's tears flowed out instantly, "What are you talking about, you have just been married to your sister-in-law for less than two years, and the children have not been weaned, they ...... I can't live without you! Damn me and you shouldn't have saved me. ”
"What nonsense, I, I'm your instructor, yes, it's a veteran, it's an old, big brother, no, can't no, take care of your ......" The voice of the ten generals became weaker and weaker.
Xu Jie felt that his heart and liver had been pulled out, and it hurt his heart to the core, straight into the bone marrow!
What a veteran, you've only been in the army for two years.
I also know that you lied about your age in order to join the army, but in fact you are more than half a mile younger than me...... You're not some big brother, you're my stupid brother, what a fool......
Xu Jie gritted his teeth, his eyes were bloodshot, struggling, and he wanted to fight hard. But he didn't have half the strength anymore, and he passed out. The people rushed up and carried him to the stretcher, but found that Xu Jie's hand was clasping the wrists of the ten generals, and he had no choice but to carry the two of them to the back together with tears......
The Han family has never lacked strong men who are impassioned and sacrifice their lives for the country.
Countless soldiers on the battlefield are fighting with their lives, and Jeluhaith's personal guards have gone up, and these elite guys are surrounded by a group of strange knife hands, the sword is shining, and the wails are continuous.
Han Tong held the Mo knife and fought to the death. There were two arrows stuck in his body, and there were several places with colors and blood, and Han Tong was stunned as if he hadn't heard it, and his killing was even more ferocious and ruthless.
Suddenly, a Khitan soldier took advantage of the weakness and slashed at the soft underbelly with a knife, although he was protected by armor, Han Tong still felt severe pain.
He swung his broadsword like crazy, and the opponent's head flew three feet high.
"General, you're wounded!" The guards exclaimed.
Han Tong gritted his teeth, grabbed the cloak with his hand, cut off one with a knife, circled his abdomen, wrapped the wound, and then rushed up again.
Seeing that the general was desperate, the guards were all moved, they didn't care about their own lives, and covered the weapons and arrows for Han Tong, Han Tong kept swinging his sword, and finally, all of Yelu Haisi's personal guards died, and there was no one left alive.
Han Tong endured the pain and raised his head to look around the battlefield, the Khitans had temporarily retreated.
In front of the battle line of the Zhou soldiers, almost 6,000 corpses were left, and the Zhou soldiers were also not easy, and they also lost more than 3,000 people.
In just one morning, tens of thousands of people died, and the cruelty of the war can be seen! This was just the beginning, after the Khitans retreated, less than a quarter of an hour later, the second wave of attacks came.
The men who were carrying the bodies and the wounded had to run back quickly.
Still bed crossbows, fire oil cans, the Khitan soldiers became more cunning, they used loose formations, rushed through the danger area. It's just that the corpses everywhere have become the biggest obstacle, and from time to time Khitan soldiers have tripped and fallen, and the team has become scattered.
The crossbowmen and archers of the Great Zhou attacked desperately, trying their best, but weakening each other.
It's just that this time the Khitan soldiers are particularly tenacious, and the number is even more amazing, they are like a torrent, crashing over. The Mo knife hand in the front row is still standing on the front line.
Those in front fall, and those behind come up.
Forward and backward, with flesh and blood, to block the offensive of the cavalry.
Both sides are in the process of rapid attrition, but it is obvious that the battle line of the Zhou soldiers is beginning to be precarious, and several places are already very weak and will be broken through at any time.
Han Tong, Zhang Yongde, Fu Zhaoxin, Yang Chongxun, and all the generals, almost everyone was injured, and Han Tong was the most seriously injured, but he still refused to retreat.
Zhao Kuangyi pursed his lips tightly and peeked at his master.
He was very much looking forward to what the master could come up with, so that the army could win the battle and easily destroy the opponent's iron cavalry, without having to pay such a heavy price...... Although Zhao Kuangyi knew that it was impossible, he just couldn't see such a tragic battlefield.
Dead bodies were everywhere, and rivers of blood were shed.
The originally dense phalanx is shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, and that's all human life!
"Master, send the reserves!"
Zhao Kuangyi really couldn't help it, he felt that no matter what he did at the moment, it was better than doing nothing...... Ye Hua didn't make a sound, he just glanced at Zhao Kuangyi, and then turned his head again.
A pair of bright eyes, looking down on the entire battlefield.
The battlefield was fought very hard, the losses of the soldiers were great, and they needed support very much, but Ye Hua couldn't agree.
He's waiting, he has to wait...... Zhao Kuangyi was so anxious that he was about to shed tears, he was just a child, the first time he faced such a scene, the pressure like Mount Tai made him almost suffocate and collapse, so he could only squat on the ground, cover his face with his hands, and sobbed in a low voice.
Ye Hua's figure stood straight from beginning to end, his flag fluttering in the wind, not moving an inch.
The Khitans were getting closer and closer, and the nearest place, less than a hundred steps away from Ye Hua, could even see the hideous face of the other party clearly, the Khitans went crazy, and they were so excited that they fainted.
Champion Hou!
The one who killed their emperor!
Yelu Jing has already made a will, as long as Ye Hua's head is cut off, he will be crowned a prince immediately and reward 100,000 gold!
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, the Khitans really played with their lives, as long as they moved forward a little more, they could succeed. Someone raised a bow and arrow and shot at Ye Hua, a distance of a hundred steps, there was no way to really hurt Ye Hua, they had to move forward, and then forward, as long as there were dozens of steps, Ye Hua would definitely die!
Unless he chooses to retreat, as long as he retreats, this time the Zhou soldiers will definitely be defeated!
Do you want your own life, or do you want the victory or defeat of the whole army?
The Khitans didn't know what Ye Hua would choose, but they were all extremely excited and very eager to push Ye Hua into a corner.
"Protect Master Hou!"
The guards around Ye Hua rushed forward, these veterans of the hussar guards are all elites trained by Ye Hua, and when they are put in the army, they can be commanders and even commanders.
However, they are still willing to follow Hou Ye and be willing to be a small soldier.
No matter who it is, if you want to move a hair of the Hou Ye, you must first ask them if they agree!
The hussars' attacks are very sharp, they are usually in groups of three, some people attack, some people block, some people observe and command, and they are not chaotic at all.
The three of them are an efficient killing team, and the Khitans who broke into the military formation were constantly hacked to death. They were unwilling, howling wildly, and their eyes were bloodshot.
But no matter what, they were getting farther and farther away from Ye Hua and were completely driven away.
Zhao Kuangyi didn't know when, he had already stood up from the ground, he was holding a knife in his hand, standing beside Ye Hua with a stiff face, there was no doubt that if someone attacked him, he would definitely fight hard.
The Khitans retreated, Zhao Kuangyi breathed a sigh of relief, but there was a situation on the other side, and the Khitans suddenly concentrated their war horses, tied the things that ignited the fire, and rushed into the front line of the Zhou soldiers.
The cavalry behind poured in like a tide, and Zhang Yongde's eyes were red.
"I want to rush over from Lao Tzu, no way!"
"Kill!"
The horse takes the lead, whose life can be more expensive than other people's gold!
"Kill!"
The soldiers went crazy and fought for their lives!
When someone's weapon is broken, they hold each other with both hands, bite with their teeth, and hit their heads with their heads! There are also soldiers who use long knives to cut the legs of opponents' horses regardless of the danger...... Finally, the gap was closed again.
And the entire battle line of the Zhou soldiers has been seriously sunken inward, and it seems that as long as they add a little more strength, they can break through.
But the more this happens, the harder it becomes.
Gradually, the Khitan side has lost patience.
"Spread the decree, let the Tielin Army attack!"
Yelu Jing gave the order, and from the Khitan ranks, a cavalry appeared, the men were wearing armor, the war horses were covered with iron armor, and the men and horses were tightly wrapped except for the eyes.
Khitan Iron Rider!
The real trump card is out!
The corners of Ye Hua's mouth turned upwards and converged into a graceful arc.
Behind Ye Hua, the old general Wang Jing suddenly stepped forward, he held the horse lance in one hand, his gray beard was scattered all over his chest, and he smiled indifferently, "Master Hou, it's time for the old man to play!" ”
