Chapter 501: Falling short of success

At the Wangjia Ferry Crossing, the Han and Wei armies were still fighting hard, but more and more Wei troops passed to the south bank. Now the Han army led by Fang Jing is at a disadvantage. The two outer edifices have all fallen, leaving only the last layer of deer antler as a defensive barrier.

Fang Jing suffered a heavy injury and was covered in blood, but he didn't care at all. He didn't realize it. He ran back and forth behind the deer antlers, slashing the enemy and shouting loudly, constantly inspiring the morale of the soldiers. Inspired by it, the Han army also gritted their teeth and persevered and fought to the death.

However, the Wei army was crowded and powerful. No matter how hard they fought, the casualties were getting bigger and bigger. By this time, only half of the more than 500 Han troops were left, and the entire defense line became shaky. If this continues, it will not take long for the Wang family ferry to fall into the hands of the enemy.

"Brothers, our Wudang Feijun is the elite of the great Han Dynasty. Although we have many enemies and few, we will still swear to never retreat. Everyone holds on for a while, and the reinforcements will arrive soon." Fang Jing shouted loudly in a hoarse voice.

The soldiers echoed in unison: "I will never retreat, I will never retreat, I will never retreat..." The sound came to the four fields, and even the Wei army was moved when they heard this.

After the Wei army formation, Yan He was standing on a low hill to watch the battlefield situation. In order to urge the troops to capture the ferry, he left the brigade to Deputy General Ren Zhen and personally led the fourth batch of Wei troops to the south bank to command.

At this time, he heard the deafening shouts of the Han army, and he couldn't help but feel respect and sighed to the guards around him: "I heard for a long time that Wudang Flying Army is brave and good at fighting. He is the elite of the Shu army. Today, I saw it. It is indeed well-known! The thief army has been lost for more than half, and it is indeed admirable that the remaining soldiers can still have such high fighting spirit. Alas, if such a strong army is not annihilated, it will become a confidant of our Great Wei in the future."

"Why should the general be ambitious and destroy his own power? The Shu army will not retreat when they fight to the death, and our soldiers are all brave and fearless, and charge forward one after another. In my humble opinion, although this Wudang Feijun is strong, he is not the opponent of our Great Wei heavenly soldiers. Not to mention other troops, as long as my Great Wei cavalry takes off, the Lao Shiwu Flying Army can turn into powder." The captain of the guard beside him clasped his fists and said.

Although these words sounded very exciting, Yan He actually did not agree much in his heart. However, he was unwilling to argue with his confidant who was not good at military strategy. He nodded softly and smiled and said nothing.

After a while, Yan He felt anxious when he saw that his side still could not capture it for a long time. At this time, the fog had dissipated a lot, and the situation on both sides of the Wei River was vaguely visible. Once the Han army on Taipingdu discovered the clue, they would definitely send troops to reinforce. Moreover, as long as the Han army guards here in Wangjiadu were not stupid, they would also take the initiative to send envoys to ask for help, so there was not much time left for the Wei army.

"The command of all the troops to capture and kill the thief's head will be rewarded with fifty rewards and promoted to two levels."

Yan He had been observing the formation for a long time and had already known that the Han army was still resisting to the death mainly because the blood-covered Han army commander led the way to boost morale. If he could kill this person, the enemy would be terrified and his morale would collapse. It would be much easier to break through the defense line of the Han army at that time.

Sure enough, after learning the military order, the group of Wei soldiers rushed to the location where Fang Jing was. At this time, the blood-covered Han army captain in their eyes was no longer a living person, but a high reward and a bright future. As long as the weapon in his hand was used to pass through the man's chest or cut his neck, there would be a lot of wealth and honor waiting for him in the future.

The Wei soldiers rushed to the Han army's defense line without hesitation. They did not avoid arrows, but only wanted to approach and kill Fang Jing, and robbed the great achievements of promotion and wealth.

Fang Jing, who was struggling to swing the steel knife, suddenly felt the pressure doubled. Although there were deer antlers in front of him as a self-defense barrier, more and more enemy troops were besieging him. Not only would long weapons suddenly attack from unexpected directions, but there were also flying axes, flying knives and other hidden weapons, which was really unpredictable.

Even though he is very skilled in martial arts, he is ultimately defeated by four-handed fists. In addition, it is easy to avoid open guns and difficult to defend against hidden arrows. After several battles with the Wei soldiers in front of him, he is already in a dilemma and is in danger.

Fang Jing had just opened a short spear that was shot. Suddenly, he heard a strong wind in front of the left, but saw a sharp arrow shot from the gap in the crowd. The hidden arrow came very secretly. When he found out, it was too late. He just responded instinctively and dodged half a step to the right. But with a scream, his left arm was unfortunately hit by an arrow, and the arrow pierced his arm and injured his flesh and blood.

At this time, the danger Fang Jing was facing was still not lifted. A long spear stabbed in an extremely fast manner from the slant. He was observing the injury in his left arm and did not notice this killing move. Seeing that he was about to be unable to escape, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked the fatal blow for him.

"Sun Fu!"

Seeing that the confidant guard who had been following him for many years blocked the shot with his chest, Fang Jing felt heartbroken and was extremely sad and couldn't help but exclaim.

Before Sun Fu had completely cut off his back, he turned around with a hard time and smiled at Fang Jing and said, "Captain, hurry up... retreat quickly." After saying that, his head tilted and he was immediately extinguished.

Before Fang Jing could help up his body that was lying on the ground, he was forcibly pulled back to the formation by two soldiers on both sides.

"Oh, what a pity, it's a pity. It's only a little short of killing the life of the Shu army captain." Yan Hewang, who was closely watching the battle situation, saw that Fang Jing was only injured and not killed, and couldn't help but sigh.

However, this beheading tactic was still effective. When the Han army saw Fang Jing was injured and retreated, they became panicked because the dragons had no heads. Although they did not collapse on the whole line and fled without fighting, their morale plummeted, their fighting spirit faded, and the entire defense line became more and more chaotic, and they were almost about to be captured by the Wei army.

Yan He was very insightful about this and ordered again: "Tell me, if you work harder, the Shu army will not last long."

Sure enough, a cheer came from the front not long after. It turned out that dozens of Wei troops had torn a big hole in the Han army's antler fortifications, and the Wei troops took the opportunity to rush in. The last line of defense of the Han army was broken since then.

After a simple bandage by the doctor, Fang Jing was about to lift his sword again, but he saw the Wei army breaking through the defense line and pressing forward. He immediately issued orders to gather the remaining 100 people around him and form a circular formation, preparing to fight for the final battle.

"Brothers, I won't go back to the death, and we will fight the Wei thief to the end today."

"Bloody battle to the end, bloody battle to the end..."

Seeing that the Han army was still fighting stubbornly, Yan Chao immediately sneered and shouted loudly: "Brothers rushed forward and annihilate this group of Shu thieves."

"Kill..."

The two armies quickly collided, and another fierce battle. Seeing that the overall situation was about to settle, the stone in Yan He finally fell to the ground. He was about to order the army to occupy all parts of the Wangjia Ferry, but suddenly he heard a vague sound from afar, and a feeling of inexplicably surged into his heart.

"Brothers, Feng Chong is here!"

The smoke and dust rose and the sound of horse hooves, but Feng Chong was the first to lead more than a thousand cavalry to arrive. Fang Jing and others were very motivated when they saw this, but the Wei army was as if they had lost their parents and their morale was low.

Although the Wei army at the ferry had more than 800 people, they were no match for the Han cavalry at all. Feng Chong led his army into the enemy formation, just like a tiger going down the mountain, unstoppable. He knocked the Wei army into pieces in just a few seconds, and made them retreat one after another and defeated the army.
