Chapter 129: The Divide of the Heroes
Wu Zhen and his team of 1,000 people, as well as Wu Feng, who hid his identity, did not know the crisis in the rear, and seeing that the enemy army was approaching, a full-scale battle was about to begin.
"Knock Knock"
The sound of war drums above the city suddenly changed.
"It's the sound of the war drums of the charging army, what's going on? At this time, an all-out battle is going on, but it's extremely unfavorable!" Hearing the sound of war drums, Wu Zhen was very puzzled.
It's Wu Feng, who only knows that the road is the sound of war drums, and what is the meaning of it, but he doesn't understand it at all.
"What's wrong?" Wu Feng asked aloud, standing not far from Wu Zhen. The sound of the war drums in Chennan Pass not only puzzled Wu Zhen, but also the enemy army was also puzzled, and the battle that was about to break out actually stopped halfway.
"You are" father and son are of the same heart, although Wu Feng is wearing a mask, but seeing each other head-on, Wu Zhen also recognized Wu Feng, but seeing Wu Feng shaking his head, he kept silent and did not reveal Wu Feng's identity.
"General Liu's order is that the back road of Chennanguan has been cut off by the enemy, and in order to cover the retreat of the warriors, the soldiers of Chennanguan will go out to meet the enemy head-on!"
Just when Wu Zhen was puzzled, he received an order from the army. At the same time, the gate of the city behind him was wide open, and the troops of Chennan Pass poured out one after another, forming a battle formation in front of the formation.
Wu Zhen's 10,000-strong team of subordinates are also all in place, but because of the previous battle, there are now less than 6,000 people.
Wu Feng was inside, and he saw a lot of familiar people, the most influential was Gong Lin, the leader of the archery team, and the rest of Wu Zhen's subordinates, Wu Feng had also seen them, and there were even some good friends who had rushed to Mingyang City to help the Wu family fight against the Du family, and Wu Feng also had a vague impression.
"Fight! Fight!"
"Fight to the death!"
As Liu Poyuan's order was handed down, a large number of sergeants poured out, and the Chennanguan side was determined to die, and the fighting spirit was excited.
"Men should be like this, spill blood on the battlefield, and are not afraid of death in a hundred battles, and strong men interpret this meaning!"
"I'm not a soldier and I'm not bound by military orders, so let me fight the first battle and cheer for the soldiers of Chennanguan!" Wu Feng shouted, heroically and domineeringly towards the army of the Southern Ming Kingdom.
"Don't" Seeing this, Wu Zhen was immediately anxious, and he was about to speak out to stop him.
Wu Feng said: "Nanming thieves are like livestock, and under the sixth layer of the True Martial Realm, I slaughter them like dogs!"
"Kill!"
Break the formation, break the army, break the city!
The three styles of martial arts breaking formation marksmanship made Wu Feng superb.
Under the broken formation, there is a forbidden area around you, and if you enter, you will die!
Under the broken army and broken city, the long drive is unstoppable!
"Beat the drums, march, charge!" The Chennanguan sergeant formation was completed, and Liu Poyuan also gave the order to attack!
"Knock knock, knock, knock"
Wu Zhen and the other three lieutenant generals, hearing the sound of war drums, all rode in front of the army for a while, shouting: "The whole army will attack and fight to the death with the enemy!"
"Kill!"
The earth smurmurs under the hooves of horses, arrows shoot in the sky, swords and spears dance together, spears and halberds fly.
"Kill! Kill to the last breath, defend the glory of our soldiers with the blood of the enemy, and make the enemy unable to conquer in Chennan Pass. "Wu Zhen was the first to fight, occupying the middle of the front of the formation, and Wu Feng pierced into the enemy in front, and the enemy masters were eliminated and the formation was disrupted.
Therefore, Wu Zhen with 6,000 men and horses was the easiest, although there were casualties, but it was smaller than the enemy's army, and the morale was getting higher and higher.
However, the other two lieutenants, although they were on the left and right flanks, fought more difficult, and the battle lasted only half an hour, and more than half of them had already suffered casualties.
The main general, Liu Poyuan, supervised the three armies of the left, center and right, and rushed among the three armies, and it was not easy to respond with the guards. Even more unnoticed, he was seriously injured by the enemy's sneak attack, and his life was in danger.
"Pass my order, take the deputy general of the Chinese army as the mainstay, and fight to the end!"
Finally, after Liu Poyuan passed down the order, he had already spilled his blood on the battlefield. The main general died, and the morale of the border army at Chennan Pass fell to the extreme again, and the battle side collapsed.
At this moment, Wu Zhen took over the heavy task and shouted: "General Liu died in battle, avenge General Liu!"
Wu Zhen's move to boost morale with hatred is also very effective.
On the battlefield, the only person who was not affected was Wu Feng, who was still killing in the enemy army, but he also felt that his internal qi and physical strength were seriously consumed, and he had already begun to seek a way out for himself and Wu Zhen in his heart.
Wu Feng can spill blood on the battlefield, but he will not throw his head on the battlefield, his main purpose is to rescue Wu Zhen. If he could, he would save people who were friends with Wu Zhen, or even more people, but he obviously didn't know the situation behind Lu Daochen's Nanguan.
Wu Zhen had the intention to let Wu Feng escape, but it was too far away to be notified.
In addition to the departure of some of the assistant warriors in the entire Chennan Pass, the remaining 20,000 sergeants and some of the assistant warriors have now suffered more than half of the casualties, and less than 10,000 can fight.
The number of enemy troops was far more than six or seven times greater. In contrast, the sergeants of Chennanguan are just fighting to the death, and they can only fight to the death.
"Tut, tut, tut!" But in such a critical situation, in the Nanming army, the horn of retreat suddenly sounded.
"What's going on?" Wu Zhen and the other generals were puzzled.
Although Wu Zhen was only a deputy general before, now that he has taken over the heavy responsibility, he also has the style of a general, and quickly issued an order: "The whole team is assembled!"
At the same time, let the two lieutenants and the leaders of each team gather to discuss, and secretly send scouts to investigate.
Wu Feng rushed to kill in the midst of the enemy army, and when he saw the enemy army suddenly retreating, he was also very puzzled. But he was alone, after all, his manpower was limited, not to mention that his physical strength was too great, so he had to return to the army.
When Wu Feng returned, the well-trained Chennanguan border army had already been assembled, and the warriors who helped the battle were also gathered together. At this time, he found out that the warriors who stayed behind to help the battle were basically the warriors of Black Mountain City and Yunyang City, and even the people of the Dongyang Sect and the Liu family of the royal family also chose to break through to the rear.
Wu Feng's previous achievements are obvious to all, and he saved Wu Zhen at the beginning. And Wu Zhen had already recognized his identity and directly arranged for someone to take him to the Chinese military office.
"What's going on?" Wu Feng asked casually as he entered the makeshift council room.
"Bold, now the Chennan Army is headed by General Wu, and Hugh is rude!" Wu Feng's casualness was regarded as disrespectful to Wu Zhen, and someone immediately reprimanded him.
"It's okay! This chivalrous man is a righteous man, and thanks to his help, this battle has at least saved thousands of casualties of our army! He should be treated as a hero of our Chennan Army!" Wu Zhen said, seeing that Wu Feng did not reveal his identity, he also helped to conceal it.
"The situation is not clear, but the army of the Southern Ming Kingdom has indeed retreated, and it is still rapidly withdrawing. ”
"Report!" At this moment, someone outside sent an urgent report.
"Come in!" Wu Zhen spoke, different from answering Wu Feng, and his words were full of majesty. Seeing that the person who came in was a scout in the army, he asked again, "How is the situation of the inquiry?"
"The army of the Southern Ming Kingdom has retreated, and it is not a suspicious plan. According to the news from the secret agent, this time the Southern Ming Kingdom launched a large-scale expedition to the north, the domestic strength weakened, the royal family and the Lihuomen lost control, and there were five major families hiding the ancestors of the Lingwu Realm. ”
"I see!" Wu Zhen nodded and thought about it, and then said to the two deputy generals beside him: "The enemy army has retreated, the danger of Chennan Pass has been solved, and now the army is ready to withdraw to the pass, and Vice General Li will arrange people to clean up the battlefield." ”
"Report!"
"Report!"
At this moment, two more urgent reports came from outside.
"Dongchen Kingdom's Sword Gate, Qianxiang City's Wang Family, Cangliu City's Liu Family, the three families each occupy five cities, occupy the fifteen cities of Dongchen Kingdom, do not listen to the royal family's orders, kill the city lord and deliberately rebel. Ordered the generals of the border gates everywhere to immediately lead troops to quell the rebellion, and the target was chosen nearby. ”
This is an urgent report from the royal Liu family.
Then there was a secret agent in the Nanguan army in Chennan, who reported: "Three days ago, the five major families of the Southern Ming Kingdom were divided, the two factions of the Western Chu State were divided, the Dongchen State Sword Gate, the Qianxiang Wang Family, and the Cangliu Liu Family rebelled, and the attitude of the Dongyang Sect and the Zhao Family was unknown."
After listening to the two emergency reports, more than a dozen people in the council hall were silent.
After a long time, Wu Zhen asked, "If you have any ideas, let's all say it!"
"Subordinates, everything, the general is the main!" Wu Zhen's original direct generals in the army showed their attitude at the same time, obeying Wu Zhen's orders.
The other two lieutenant generals, one surnamed Li and the other surnamed Zeng. The two used to be comparable to Wu Zhenxiu, and they were both deputy generals, so they were not convinced by each other.
But now Wu Zhen has broken through one step ahead and reached the fourth layer of the True Martial Realm, and he is also the general designated by General Liu on his deathbed. Especially since the two of them have no power behind them, joining the army is nothing more than seeking a way out for themselves and a wealth for their families, and in today's chaotic situation, they have no ideas.
After all, when the situation is chaotic, will the Liu family's royal family be able to keep it? If they go to the target of the counterinsurgency and seize the country at that time, what should they do?
The two of them had no idea for a while, so they simply said bluntly: "General Wu is the chief general in the army, and his subordinates obey the arrangement!"
People who were originally at the same level, but now claim to be subordinates, have already shown their willingness to serve.
The rest of the people are all the commanders of the two direct armies, and seeing that the boss has already expressed his position, naturally there will be no objections, and they are also loyal one after another.
"Feng'er, what do you think?" Wu Zhen asked bluntly, and no longer hid Wu Feng's identity.
Wu Feng didn't mind, now he didn't wear the clothes of Dongyang Sect, and he was wearing a bronze mask, and the people present were all people from the Chennan Army, although they couldn't be completely trusted, they didn't know much about the outside world, even if they knew the identity of Dao Wufeng, they wouldn't think much about it.
"The places of rebellion are all in the rich land of the hinterland of Dongchen Kingdom, and there has been no rebellion in the east. And Chennan Pass is the easternmost border pass garrison, which is very far away from the national capital. What's more, the troops of Yichen Nanguan, even if they have the intention to calm the chaos, they are not enough. ”
"The current Chennanguan border army should first withdraw to Chennan Mountain, Chennanshan as a natural defense line between the two cities of Yunyang and Nanyang and Nanmingguo, garrisoning here, can hold the four cities of Yunyang, Nanyang, Qingyang and Mingyang. As for the order of the royal family Liu Jia's rebellion, the casualties of this battle can be reported, indicating that the strength is insufficient and needs to rest, and the royal family has no choice but to make arrangements after the situation is clear. ”
Of course, Wu Feng had more to say, and he didn't say it explicitly. The rest of the forces are all entrenched in one side, and the martial family also has the ancestor of the Lingwu Realm, but they are alone on Stone Cliff Island, and they were worried about being suppressed by the royal family and the Dongyang Sect before. And in the current situation, if the Chennanguan army is co-opted, the martial arts family can completely stand on its own.
