Zhu Ling's tall body was a little shaky, his armor was bloody, his long hair was scattered, and his battle helmet was picked up by the spear of a northern Xinjiang soldier in the fierce battle just now, leaving a deep blood groove on his forehead. On his long cheeks, there was blood, and his black hair had been dyed purple and black by blood, and the bunches hung on his face, messy.
The wound on his back was still oozing blood, and the sharp pain made him snort involuntarily.
Since following Liu Bei to conquer the world for more than ten years, he has experienced countless vicious battles, but today this is the first time he has encountered such a danger.
In more than a decade, this is the most bitter and difficult battle.
Could it be that the Northern Frontier Army is really that strong?
Zhu Ling spat a mouthful of blood on the ground, and the battle knife in his hand gently stood on the ground to support his exhausted and almost paralyzed body.
Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet? Could it be that Jucheng is lost? Zhu Lingtou looked at the Northern Xinjiang battle flag looming in the distance, and a bitterness suddenly rose in his heart. Once upon a time, under the guidance of this banner, he fought bloodily, but ......
The killing voices on the battlefield are getting louder and louder. The Northern Xinjiang Army and the Qingzhou Army fought hard to advance from three directions, and the soldiers became more and more courageous, while Liu Bei's soldiers saw that there was no hope of breaking through, suffered heavy casualties, and their morale was getting lower and lower.
If reinforcements are delayed, the fate of today's total annihilation will be inevitable.
At this moment, the sound of war drums suddenly sounded in the darkness to the southwest.
The drums rumbled, and the sound shook the sky.
Zhu Ling's heart trembled, and his whole body suddenly gave birth to infinite strength, and he roared loudly: "Beat the drum, kill out, kill out......"
………………
Qin Yilu took advantage of the opportunity of Cao Bao to hold back the Qingzhou army, and led the main force of the army to break through Li Feng's resistance again, and successfully killed the Shushui River.
Wu Dun was responsible for commanding the 5,000 Qingzhou Army to block the breakthrough of Liu Bei's army in the southwest, and he had already suffered a huge impact.
Wu Dun asked Gao Shun for help.
Gao Shun was in a hurry, and immediately ordered Xue Lan in the northeast to quickly divide his troops to support Wu Dun and block the enemy's reinforcements while ensuring that Zhu Ling was surrounded. Then he ordered Li Feng and Yin Li to attack the enemy's reinforcements at all costs, and be sure to prevent the reinforcements from breaking through Wu Dun's defense line and joining Zhu Ling.
After Li Yi and other generals of the Northern Xinjiang Army received Gao Shun's order, they each commanded the army to launch an attack on Liu Bei's army, intending to tear through Liu Bei's defensive battle formation and completely defeat Liu Bei's army before the enemy's reinforcements arrived.
The Qingzhou army was able to kill, overwhelming the sky, storming the enemy army like a tide, and the cries of revenge and blood hatred were higher and higher, resounding in the night sky. At this time, no one obeyed Xue Lan's dispatch at all, and no one was willing to withdraw from the attack battlefield.
After Li Feng's Qingzhou army gritted its teeth and supported it for half an hour, it suffered heavy casualties, and finally couldn't resist it, and watched Liu Bei's army break through the defense line and successfully rendezvous with Zhu Ling's remnants.
………………
Qin Yilu was covered in blood, staggered to Zhu Ling with a broken spear, and shouted: "General Zhu, you go quickly, I will leave the broken queen." ”
Zhu Ling's eyes were hot, and he grabbed Qin Yilu's arm and said, "You take the army and go first." Sun Sheng is still behind, I will pick him up and kill him together. ”
Qin Yilu said anxiously: "General......"
"You go." Zhu Ling shouted, "Cao Bao's Danyang soldiers have a limited number of people, and they can't stop the enemy's siege, if the back road is cut off again, we will all be trapped, and none of us will be able to escape." ”
Zhu Ling turned around and galloped away, and the remaining nearly 100 soldiers of the personal guard Qu followed closely and killed him again.
"Order, all departments immediately turn around and return to Jucheng." Qin Yilu raised the broken spear and waved his hand again and again, "Quick, quick......"
………………
Liu Bei's military captain Sun Sheng led a song of men and horses to the death, and blocked the Northern Xinjiang Army under a hillside with dense long arrows.
Li Yi scolded angrily and commanded the soldiers of the northern Xinjiang to connect with the battle formation. The bloodstained shields immediately formed an impermeable shield wall, and the spearmen gathered behind the shield array, and stretched out the bloody spears from the gaps between the shields, the tips of the spears were densely turned, like the fangs and sharp teeth of a beast, terrifying and cold.
With the beating of drums, the soldiers of the Northern Frontier who were struggling to kill in front of them quickly withdrew.
"Let go ......" Li Yi roared, and the battle knife was chopped in the air. Hundreds of strong archers drew their bows to the sky and fired continuous volleys, immediately pressing the Xuzhou army on the hillside.
"Brothers, rush up with me and kill ......" Li Yi stood behind the shield array, raising his sword and shouting. The thick and powerful shield array advanced at high speed amid the thunderous roar of the soldiers.
Liu Beijun braved the opponent's dense arrow array to fight back, but in the face of a shield array like a huge turtle shell, they had no choice but to watch it rush up the hillside at high speed, crushing all the way with great momentum, and the soldiers who couldn't dodge were pierced by spears in a blink of an eye, and they were bleeding like blood on the shield.
The shield array suddenly exploded, and the soldiers of the northern frontier rushed forward, spears and swords like a raging storm, killing the enemy to the ground. The Northern Xinjiang army under the slope took advantage of the situation to roar and rush up, and then covered the killing.
"Killing ......" sparks shot in all directions, Sun Sheng snorted miserably, the battle knife was broken in the air, and his scarred body retreated several steps in a row. Xiang Cheng cheered, the war knife rose again, and chopped off his head and face.
"When the ......" sounded, Li Yi's mouth shook violently, and the war knife was divided into two.
A war knife pierced the sun like a long rainbow, striking straight down.
Li Yi was shocked and retreated. He saw Zhu Ling again.
Zhu Ling's face was hideous, he roared angrily, and the war knife chopped head-on again.
Li Yi was furious, raised his shield with both hands, flew up, and shouted: "Kill, kill Zhu Ling......"
The shield thumped. The war knife slammed into each other, and the force of the recoil caused Zhu Ling to take two steps back.
Li Yiru was hammered, and the shield led the person to fly upside down, opening his mouth and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
When the soldiers of Northern Xinjiang behind Li Yi heard Li Yi's roar, they immediately let out a cheer, and rushed up from all around, shouting: "Kill Zhu Ling......"
Zhu Ling didn't wait for his footsteps to stand firm, and the war knife suddenly drew a dazzling blood light in the air, and thundered down against the soldiers of the Northern Frontier who rushed up. With one knife and two lives, two blood-spurting bodies turned over and fell.
"Let's go, let's go......" Zhu Ling grabbed Sun Sheng, who rushed up with a spear, and flew back, "Withdraw, withdraw......"
Li Yi got up from the ground in a daze, reached out and pulled off the helmet on his head, smashed it to the ground, and yelled: "Zhu Ling, Lao Tzu has to kill you today......
He raised the shield in his hand and was about to raise his arms and shout, when he suddenly felt a light in his hand, and the shield had broken and fallen to the ground. Li Yi involuntarily took a step back, and a cool breath rushed straight to the bottom of his heart.
"Pounce on ......" Li Yi spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground, and looked at Zhu Ling who was retreating in the distance, his eyes almost spewing fire, "Archer...... Archer ......"
"Bring a crossbow, surround Zhu Ling, shoot him, shoot him......"
………………
The soldiers of Northern Xinjiang were shocked several times, and returned several times without success, and more than a dozen lives were buried under Zhu Ling's sharp knife.
Li Yi chased after him with the archers, and the long arrows made a thrilling roar in the dark night.
Liu Bei's soldiers couldn't hide, and they fell to the ground with arrows one after another.
Sun Sheng was seriously injured, barely ran for a while, and finally couldn't support it and fell to the ground, he said to Zhu Ling with a wry smile: "General Zhu, you go, leave me alone." ”
"Come with me." Zhu Ling roared, stretched out his hand to help Sun Sheng, and dragged him to run hard, while shouting to the soldiers around him, "Go, go, go, go, don't stop, run......"
"Aim at Zhu Ling, shoot him for me, shoot him to death......" Li Yi's mouth kept bleeding, and he couldn't run, so he had to let two guards support him and chase after him closely.
Long arrows rained down, concentrated around Zhu Ling. Zhu Ling ignored it completely, pulled Sun Sheng to seize the road and fled. Sun Sheng snorted a few times, his body trembled violently a few times, and then fell to the ground softly.
"Hold on, hold on......" Zhu Ling hugged Sun Sheng and roared loudly, "Brother, hold on to me, I'll take you out immediately, you hold on a little longer......"
Long arrows flew in the night sky, like ghostly claws, sucking innocent lives little by little.
Zhu Ling saw the soldiers rushing ahead, saw sharp arrows shooting through their bodies, and saw them fall to the ground in pain.
"Let's go, let's go......" Zhu Ling roared hoarsely, regret piercing his heart like a long sword with a cone, making him look up to the sky and howl in pain.
………………
Gao Shun rode to the city of Jucheng.
Xun Di, Zang Ba, Li Feng, Xue Lan, Yin Li, Wu Dun, Li Yi, and Wu Ba smiled happily one by one and stepped forward to salute.
"General, let Zhu Ling escape from the encirclement, I have the responsibility to ......" Xue Lan's face was ashamed, and she said very apologetically, "For many years, there has never been such a hearty battle, everyone is eager for revenge, and their eyes are red-eyed......"
"General, I failed to block Cao Bao and Qin Yilu's reinforcements, resulting in the failure of the encirclement and annihilation plan...... Yin Li lowered his head, very self-reproachful.
"After the Qingzhou Army suffered a defeat in Zhengrong Valley last year, you should be very happy that it can still have such a strong attack force." Gao Shun shook his hand and comforted with a smile, "If you lose your puppet, you will gain Sangyu." Although we failed to completely annihilate Zhu Ling, Xuangao took Jucheng without much effort, which can be regarded as a complement of gains and losses. ”
Then he looked at Zang Ba and said with a smile: "The losses of the Southern Qingzhou Army this time are not small. You see, did you give them a little more of the loot captured this time as compensation? ”
Zang Ba nodded and said, "This time Zhu Ling can be severely damaged, the Northern Xinjiang Army has made great contributions, and the spoils of war should also be shared." ”
"We don't want it." Gao Shun waved his hand, "In order to block Zhu Ling and Cao Bao, the Qingzhou Army was attacked before and after, and suffered great losses. There are not many rewards from the court, so you should keep them and reward your subordinates. ”
Zang Ba, Li Feng and others showed gratitude on their faces and bowed down to thank them.
Gao Shun asked, "Is Jucheng Ling Tao Gang still there?" ”
"Dead." Zang Ba said lightly, "The situation is too chaotic at night, and I don't know how Tao Gang died." At that time, part of Liu Beijun's army fled from the south city, and part of it was scattered by us outside the city, and we did not encounter much resistance to kill the government, only to find that Tao Gang was dead. ”
Gao Shun asked again: "What about the other officials of the government?" ”
"They all fled." Zang Ba sneered, "This Tao Gang is mean, and after he dies, no old official is willing to stay and guard his spirit." (To be continued.) )
