Chapter 24 Daokou Final Battle 3
Although poor Xu Buzhi was brave, he could not escape the attack of arrows. His wide face was shot by three feather arrows at the same time, one was in the middle of his nose, and the other two were in the auricles. Xu Buzhi's body shook twice on the horse and fell down.
"Kill!" A crisp female voice came from the back of Xue Jin and Tao Zhu. Yao Xiu had already received the bow and arrow at this time. She untied the seven-foot long whip from her waist and rode on horseback to the orc cavalry. Needless to ask, it was Yao Xiu who shot Xu Buzhi just now. Xue Jin and Tao Zhu saw the situation, and they also waved their blades behind Yao Xiu and launched a charge against the orc cavalry.
There were not many orcs left, and the original cavalry saw that they had died, and the original people rushed to themselves like crazy. They also had no intention to fight and ran away in the direction of the eight-sided slope. At this time, Zhang Zhentian waved the bone stick in his hand and joined Yao Xiu and other three people. Yao Xiu glanced at Zhang Zhentian. Although Zhang Zhentian was covered with blood stains, he was still energetic. Obviously, he was not injured. The blood stains on his body were left by orcs. Yao Xiu asked at ease, "Zhang, shall we chase him or not?"
"Chasing!" Zhang Zhentian looked back at the battlefield just now, "General Tao, you take 200 soldiers to clean the battlefield!" Don't captive. The others will catch up with me. After Zhang Zhentian finished speaking, he ran after the orc first. Yao Xiu and Xue Jin led the troops closely. There is no doubt that Tao Zhu has executed Zhang Zhentian's order. However, after the war, Zhang Zhentian found that he had also changed. It turned out that killing prisoners of war and destroying the enemy had the same meaning in the eyes of soldiers.
More than 40 orc cavalrymen who survived ran all the way, and they soon approached the area of the eight-sided slope, but their road back to the eight-sided slope camp was forcturned by the original people. Before the roadblock, Zhou Peihu took 200 cavalry to guard there. When they saw the defeated soldiers of the orcs arrive, they naturally waved the blade in their hands and rushed to the orcs. Although the retreating orcs were shocked, when they found that there was no possibility of returning to the camp, they were not afraid, but tried their best to launch a counterattack against the originals.
The killing between different races is cruel, because both sides of the war know that either you die or I live. Surrender does not guarantee the safety of one's life. When the orc soldiers fought together with Zhou Peihu, Zhang Zhentian and others also rushed up with the army. These remaining orcs shed the last drop of blood beforehand.
The action of the original man near the hill was also reported. However, he did not immediately send troops to attack the original people who were building fortifications. In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to, but that he knows that he is not superior to fight with orc cavalry who are good at field and original infantry who are good at defending the city. In addition, the more important reason is that he doesn't have enough troops now. After sending troops to Yanzhou and Yunzhou and sending Xu Buzhi to rescue Yunzhou soldiers, the orc soldiers in his battalion were less than 3,000. According to the report he received, he judged that there were at least five or six hundred original people operating around the hill. So he can't imagine whether there is a large group of original troops behind these original people. Therefore, he had to stay still.
"General!" An orc scout came back from outside, "Go back to the general, there has just been a battle behind the original fortifications, and their original people have won!"
"Good! Go down." He waved his hand, and he knew in his heart that Xu Bu must have died in battle.
"General, what do you think we should do?" He Lanqing, standing in the tent, asked in a low voice, "Should we withdraw from here to the north?"
"Withdraw?" After listening to He Lanqing's words, he smiled and said, "Why should we withdraw? If we evacuate from here, the original person opposite us will definitely attack us from behind. These eight-sided paths are rugged and difficult to walk, and it is difficult for us to escape.
"What do you mean?" He Lanqing asked respectfully.
"G urge the follow-up people to speed up the march!" There is no doubt about the answer, "Let the infantry pass through the eight-sided ramp first, and then pass the cavalry. I don't believe that I can't destroy the original person opposite.
Naturally, there is no need to introduce the identity of this Capricorn. He is the only one who claims to be Xuchen when he eats in the hotel. He is not only the general of the orc army that sneaked on Yanzhou, but also the third son of the emperor of the orc empire. And He Lanqing is just a general under the command.
At the bottom of the hill, Zhang Zhentian and the others finally met. The original people won two battles in a row outside the city, and they were naturally very happy. Everyone worked together and rearranged the defense, and then Zhang Zhentian and the others returned to the village.
"Mr. Zhang, it's thanks to Miss Yao for this victory today!" Everyone sat around the room. Fang Kun took a look at Yao Xiu sitting next to Zhang Zhentian and said comfortably, "Today, I heard from my brothers in the army that Miss Yao's archery is very powerful! I hope the girl can teach me another day. It seems that as they get along with each other, the relationship between Fang Kun and Yao Xiu has gradually deepened. They are no longer called girls and girls, but should be called girls.
"Ha ha, General Fang laughed." Yao Xiu replied to him happily, "In fact, it is also the orc who is stupid and inflexible. If it were our original general, it would not be so easy to deal with!" While she was happy, she didn't forget to say a few words to the orcs.
"Haha!" Everyone in the room listened to Yao Xiu's words and laughed happily for a while. The original man fought with the orcs. On the battlefield, the original man won less and lost more. Today, he won two games in a row and killed the two orc generals. Everyone in the room was naturally happy. After the laughter, Ziyi said in a low voice, "Mr. Zhang, today's victory is certainly good! However, according to the nature of the orcs, they are bound to retaliate. What do you think we should do in the future?
"This..." Zhang Zhentian listened to Ziyi's words and frowned. Although the two battles outside Yanzhou were won under his command, Zhang Zhentian was not a professional soldier after all. Now Ziqi asked him about his long-term deployment, and naturally he couldn't say. At this time, he missed Jiang Dongfang, who had not yet accompanied the army to stay in Yanzhou. After all, Jiang Dongfang has been a soldier and is a soldier. He should be better at fighting than himself.
I think Mr. Zhang is also tired today! We don't have to rush for success. Xue Jin saw that Zhang Zhentian's face was in trouble. He answered, "We just need to defend against the attack of the orcs and then plan. After all, we don't know how many orcs there are on the opposite side, and they don't know our strength.
"General Xue makes sense." Ziqi nodded after hearing this, but he still said uneasily, "Although we now have 3,000 soldiers and horses gathered near the eight-sided slope, most of us are cavalry and only 800 infantry. I'm afraid that if their orc infantry launch a strong attack, we still can't defend them.
"Hey! You can't say that!" Tao Zhu listened to Ziwei's words and got up dissatisfiedly, "We are guard cavalry, not ordinary cavalry!"
"I think what General Ziqi said makes sense!" Yao Xiu, sitting next to Zhang Zhentian, interrupted, "Although we won the battle today!" But it is better than us who are more prepared, not that we are braver than their orcs! If the two sides are equal in number, we may not be their opponents.
The people in the room originally wanted to argue, but when the generals of Yan Yunguo saw Yao Xiu's opening their mouth, they could not say anything more. The atmosphere in the room condensed for a moment. Zhang Zhentian had to say, "Everyone makes sense!" Anyway, this place is not far from Yanzhou. We just need to guard it with all our heart. Tomorrow, I will send someone back to Yanzhou for help. It's getting late today. Let's take a break!"
After listening to Zhang Zhentian's words, everyone in the room got up and said goodbye to Zhang Zhentian, and then left the room. In the end, only Yao Xiu was still with Zhang Zhentian.
"Zhang, you treat me badly!" When Yao Xiu saw everyone leaving, she pouted and pointed to Zhang Zhentian's nose and said angly, "You treat me badly at all!"
"Ha ha, Xiuer, what's wrong?" Zhang Zhentian smiled awkwardly, and then looked at Yao Xiu's face and asked, "How can I treat you well?"
"You don't care about me!" Yao Xiu replied, "I made such a great contribution today that you didn't even have a word of praise!" Humph."
"Haha! This matter." Zhang Zhentian laughed loudly after listening to it, "Today's victory is all due to Xiuer's sister. Is that all right? Haha."
"Hmm! It's true." Yao Xiu stood up after saying that. When she walked to the door, she turned around and looked at Zhang Zhentian and said, "Go to bed early!"
After listening, Zhang Zhentian nodded slightly. Yao Xiu blushed and quickly left the room.
