Panxiu Mountain, Hengshui Town. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Standing in Hengshui Town, Zhao Zhi stood on the lookout, looking at the image in front of him, his hands couldn't help but clench.

I saw that in Hengshui Town, among the criss-crossing mountain roads, it was already filled with the surging soldiers. Accompanied by bursts of heavy cannon sounds, bursts of smoke rose from the entire town, and the thick gunpowder smoke entered his lungs along his breath, which made him cough.

Since last night, the Tartars have been attacking fiercely, and they have continued unceasingly until now.

At this moment, he saw Yan Shen cross the mountain rock, came to Zhao Zhi and leaned over and said, "Tell Chief of Staff Zhao." Zhennan has fallen, and although we have repeatedly organized troops to try to repel the other party, the other party is too strong to be defeated. ”

"Why is it lost?" Zhao Zhi immediately tightened his eyebrows and asked in a low voice.

Yan Shen shook his head lightly, but there was a trace of bitterness at the corner of his mouth: "It's the sin army." ”

"The Sin Army, are they on the verge of defection?" Zhao Zhidun was annoyed, but then he felt helpless, and could only turn into a sigh.

Most of the criminal army was in the enemy's barracks, and when it was originally organized into an army, it was just a labor force to use these people, and the things of whipping, beating, and insulting never stopped, and those people were able to accompany them in the brave battle, and then there were ghosts.

"That's right. Yan Shen nodded.

Zhao Zhi looked at it from a distance, in the entire Hengshui Town, the land south of the town had been occupied by the other party, and only one narrow passage was still in the hands of the Red Phoenix Army. However, as the sound of gunfire and artillery became more and more sparse, this narrow passage could not last long, and it must only continue to hold on for half an hour.

This situation can be said to be a foregone conclusion.

Zhao Zhi had no choice but to order: "Since this is the case, then don't continue to support and make useless sacrifices." You lead the remnant of the retreat and gather them together in the middle of the town. ”

"I see. ”

Yan Shen received the order and began to organize the remaining soldiers to continue to resist.

However, since Yan Shen retired, Chang Jun came here.

"Tell Chief of Staff Zhao. There are too many enemies in the north of the town, so please send reinforcements to ensure your safety. ”

"Too many? How many?"

"I don't know. I only know that the other party has been attacking, and there are only more than 100 guns left under my subordinates, even more than 200 tiger squat cannons left, and there is not much gunpowder left. ”

"What about the sins?"

"They, although they are sticking to their posts under the coercion of us and others, but there are only about 300 of the more than 3,000 people left. In desperation, I had to send more than 300 people under my command to help, and now there are only half of the remaining personnel. If you continue to persevere, I am afraid that all employees will be completely destroyed. ”

Tears rippled in his eyes, and Chang Jun felt very blocked in his heart when he thought of the scene he had seen at the beginning.

If this scene continues, then all the soldiers under his command will be destroyed here.

Zhao Zhi immediately became nervous, and shouted loudly: "Duan Feng!"

"In!"

Duan Feng, who had already been ready in the town, immediately stood up and shouted loudly.

Zhao Zhi immediately ordered: "You and bring three hundred men and horses to help, and you must ensure the safety of Zhenbei." ”

"Alas. What about me?" But at this moment, Zhao Chen didn't know when he appeared here, and looked at the hurried soldiers around him, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "Watching them fight on the front line, I feel uneasy. If so, can you let me join in?"

Zhao Zhi hurriedly persuaded: "Old General Zhao." You are now old, and Shen Ke has not yet healed, and your injuries are still there, so you must not go into battle to kill the enemy, and if there are any mountains and rocks at that time, the lord will blame them, and I can't afford it. ”

"That's right. Duan Feng also persuaded: "The so-called sword has no eyes, and the battlefield is ruthless. Leave this kind of fighting to us. You really shouldn't be in battle!"

"Hehe!" Zhao Chen shook his head and laughed: "I also know what you said." However, people will eventually die, and if they just linger and breathe, it is really not a hero's doing. After that, he raised his head and stared at Zhao Zhi, who was only half the size in the past, but now he can stand shoulder to shoulder, and it is an honor to be able to cultivate such a character.

patted Zhao Zhi on the shoulder, and Zhao Chen said again: "What's more, watching you throw your head and dissipate blood again, if I am still living in the rear, how can I make everyone obey?" What do you tell me to do?"

"I understand!" Zhao Zhi said in a choked voice.

At this time, although Zhao Chen is still tall and upright, his eyebrows and beards are white, and his sideburns are like frost, which is helpless because of the world;

After all, the power of this time is too strong for anyone to resist.

In terms of age, now that Zhao Chen knows the destiny of heaven, he should have inherited his son and spent the joy of family together, but this continuous war forced him to reappear on the battlefield.

This world is hateful!

"Zhao Chen, you and lead your command of 2,400 people to garrison the town, if there is danger, immediately rush to help, there must be no mistake. ”

This order immediately made Zhao Chen full of consternation, and then smiled bitterly: "I know your intentions, but this won't last long after all." ”

Duan Feng paused and said, "Even if it's for a while." You are the backbone of our army, if you are defeated, what should we do?" and Chang Jun also persuaded: "That's right. I'll wait here, General Zhao, you just need to guard here. And we will definitely defeat the other party and save the entire town of Hengshui. As he spoke, he was going to lead his soldiers to help ensure that the entire town of Hengshui was safe and sound.

At this moment, I only heard the sound of "boom", and I saw dust and sand in the north of the town, gravel flying, and thousands of dust rising, but the entire Hengshui Town was completely enveloped in it.

"What the hell is going on?"

Chang Jun and Duan Feng's footsteps suddenly stopped, and they looked into the distance with disbelief.

It was only because of the blow just now that the defense line they had built before Hengshui Town had completely collapsed, and the one-foot-high city wall was completely destroyed.

"It's a siege artillery!"

Zhao Chen sighed slightly, full of helplessness.

Zhao Zhi's whole person was also shocked, and shouted in a low voice: "Even the siege artillery has been used, it seems that the other party is determined to take Hengshui Town?"

This siege cannon was once used in the attack on Taiyuan City, and its power was naturally earth-shattering, crying ghosts and gods, and they also paid a great price at the beginning to expel Shi Tianze's army from Taiyuan.

Now, Zhang Hongfan used siege artillery, and it was obvious that he was determined to capture this Hengshui Town.

And under the attack of siege artillery, Zhao Zhi really couldn't imagine that he could continue to hold on.

"Let's go. ”

But at this moment, Zhao Chen said loudly.

As soon as he withdrew from Zhennan, Yan Shen looked stunned: "Where are you going?"

"Luzhou, Qinzhou, Xiangyuan...... , you can go anywhere, but here you can't stay anymore. Zhao Chen raised his head slightly, but he was looking at the vast sky, the sky was blue and boundless, and it seemed to be able to accommodate anything in the world.

Zhao Zhi was shocked, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want us to escape?"

I still remember that when Taiyuan retreated, their respected lord also ordered it like this, so Taiyuan is gone, Fenzhou is gone, Pingyang Mansion is gone, if they continue to retreat now, then this Hengshui Town will also be gone, until they finally retreat into Luzhou City, where else can they go?

"It's not an escape. It's leaving!" Zhao Chen shook his head and corrected.

"But if we leave here, it will be occupied by the Tartars. ”

"I know. But I also know that if you stay, you will die. When it's dead, there's nothing. ”

"But I'm not reconciled, I don't want to fail like this. ”

"Anything fails. Failure is not terrible, you just need to come out of it. What's more, she's still there, you just need to find her, and then there will be a comeback?"

"She, is she the lord?" a hint of sarcasm rolled up at the corner of his mouth, but Zhao Zhi was angry.

If that person hadn't left suddenly, would he have been ridiculed by everyone in the Luzhou City Hall, and even impeached by everyone and reduced to today's scene?

In her mind, she who should be paid the highest respect has disappeared, but now Zhao Zhi is only angry and disgusted!

Zhao Chen noticed the change in Zhao Zhi's mind, so he stared at the other party's eyes and said solemnly: "Everyone has their own considerations and their own helplessness. You have it, she has it, we all have it. It's just that you never see it. ”

In my mind, the innocent girl I met at the beginning, and now the majestic and solemn lord who stands on the top of everyone, the two images are blended together, but it can't help but make people feel very different.

It's just that these two people are so far apart that they even wonder if they have changed into a different person.

But Zhao Chen knew that the two of them had not changed, but the environment had changed, becoming cruel, selfish and vicious, and even the people with him had changed.

Zhao Zhi only felt annoyed, and retorted: "In that case, why hasn't she shown up to save us?" In his eyes, the color of resentment came out of his bones, showing incomparable anger.

The war is raging, and it is still devouring everyone's life.

However, no matter how much they prayed to the gods and Buddhas, they could not usher in any light of day.

Zhao Chen sighed lightly, and then said, "No one is a god, and no one can save everything. Heaven helps those who help themselves, and only by relying on their own strength can they succeed. Sometimes you need her strength, but more often than not, she needs your strength. You can only succeed if you help each other, you know?"

After that, Zhao Chen took out a blood condensation red crystal from his sleeve and brought it to Zhao Zhi: "This is what she gave me when she left." It is said that if there is a danger, you can find her by holding this object in your hand. And you take it, and if you need it, you can find her through it. Got it?"

"I see. ”

Zhao Zhi looked at this blood condensation red crystal, his eyes flickered, and finally returned to firmness, and he reached out and held this thing in the palm of his hand.

This blood condensation red crystal is as warm as jade, and it has been released many times with heat energy, but I don't know how it was cast, but since he can find that one with this thing, then he might as well give it a try, at least it can bring a turnaround for the entire Red Phoenix Army.
