Chapter 289 Survival in a desperate situation
A metallic object slipped from Ziying's waist and fell to the ground.
Bang——
The approaching soldiers of the two armies subconsciously covered their ears and stepped back. They stared at the positions of Ziying and Xuan Hu with wide eyes, and seemed to see a flash of light.
The night wind blew and the smoke dissipated.
Xuan Hu's chest was pierced, and he fell to the ground bleeding from the corner of his mouth. He pointed at Zi Ying who was standing with a sword in his hand with an unwilling look on his face.
"Ziying, you..."
"Don't be so arrogant towards me!" Ziying looked at Xuan Hu sideways with a cold and arrogant face, "You should challenge me even with this little ability. Let's have a better memory in the next life."
"You are despicable...I am not convinced...!"
Xuan Hu screamed with all his strength, his eyes couldn't close, and he died.
"Leader Xuantong...is dead?!"
The Henan army looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Ziying pointed the tip of his sword directly at the Henan army and raised his chin slightly, "You will undoubtedly die in this battle, but... Xuan Hu is dead, I will let you go and get out of here."
Although Yang Xi didn't know how Ziying killed Xuan Hu, seeing that the Henan army was still hesitant, he stood up and shouted, "Your Majesty! Since they don't want to live, let's fight!"
"Here... run quickly!"
The Henan Army's desire to fight again suddenly dissipated, and they turned around and fled in the direction of Ningqin.
"We can't just let them go! Ziying, you have to avenge the soldiers of Jiujiang!" Ge Liang tried hard but couldn't get up.
Ziying nodded deeply, "The whole army is pursuing us!"
"Kill them, don't let them go!"
"kill!"
Chen He and Chongda pointed straight ahead. The army was shouting about killing, but Ge Liang didn't see anyone advancing.
Ge Liang was angry, "Zi Ying, you..."
"Whatever you are chasing, I'm almost exhausted. Let's go back to the city and discuss it tomorrow." Ziying limped onto his horse.
The sky turned pale and the smoke cleared. Only then did Ge Liang realize that each of the skilled soldiers was holding two torches to hold twice as many troops. They were all listless and almost fainted.
"Yang Aiqing helps Commander Ge get on the horse, and what I promised will be done!"
"It's best...but..." Ge Liang gritted his teeth and nodded.
The journey back to Wucheng was less than half a house, and almost half of the army's life was lost.
When Wang Zhou saw Ziying returning at the top of the city, he hurriedly urged the soldiers to open the city gate.
More than 10,000 people led Lu Lu and entered the city one after another. Half of them were still left outside the city. Smoke and dust suddenly appeared in the southwest.
Kuai Tong pulled the reins and galloped over, followed by more than 20,000 people with murderous looks.
"It's over, please spare me." Ziying lay on the top of the city with a helpless smile, "Old gentleman, how about you wait for me to repair for a day, and then fight another day?"
"Zi Ying...you can actually come back alive! Where is Xuan Hu?!" Kuai Tong shouted, with deep horror in his words.
It was originally a pincer attack from east and west, but Xuan Hu failed to hold Zi Ying back...
"He, compared with me, was a little inferior and died." Ziying pointed to the east, "The old gentleman can just go find him, I don't have the strength to collect his body."
"Trash!"
Kuai Tong clenched his fists and cursed secretly. He originally wanted to start a battle when he entered the city, but he knew that the number of troops in the city was higher than his. Even if he won, he would suffer heavy casualties. Ziying could call reinforcements from Bashu, but Han Xin did not have too many troops.
Many soldiers and horses.
"If you don't want your vitality to be severely damaged, just retreat. I'll be flustered when I see you." Ziying urged.
"Zi Ying, don't be complacent, you will die when Commander Han reorganizes the army." Kuai Tong roared.
"I know. Let's go quickly." Ziying waved his hands to drive him away.
"Humph! Let's see!"
Kuai Tong glared at the city head and led his horse eastward. The Jiujiang soldiers sped up and fled into the city.
Ziying sat in a pile, clutching his chest, lowering his head and panting.
Ge Liang beside him stared eastward, also filled with fear.
"Zi Ying, if you kill Xuan Hu a moment later, we will all die!" Xuan Hu said while swallowing his saliva.
"It's not your fault. I thought you were so powerful that you lost your troops as soon as you came." Ziying looked at Ge Liang's embarrassed face with resentment.
Ge Liang was not in the mood to argue with Ziying, "It would be better if you escaped. Now that you are trapped here, Han Xin will come to kill you soon, and you will die. What do you think you are doing here?"
"Stop talking nonsense. We are now at a loss. Let's quickly think of a plan to deal with the enemy." Ziying threw the map to Ge Liang again.
"I...I also have nothing to do." Ge Liang was upset, "When it comes to the enemy, we must know ourselves and the enemy. Han Xin has not revealed the whole picture and has no complete plan."
"What do you want to be safe? How about we fight back first?!" Ziying said helplessly, thinking that he was indeed the ancestor of Wu Hou, and his temper that did not dare to take risks was passed down from a single line.
"I have a plan to offer to the King of Qin!"
During the stalemate, a voice came from the bottom of the city. Ziying and Ziying supported each other and looked at each other. A man in purple clothes was standing with his hands behind his back.
"Who are you? Tell me what you have planned!" Ge Liang said anxiously.
"Qi Di Chen Xi." The man said calmly, "I would like to know what price King Qin can offer. If it is too low, I won't be able to buy it."
