Section 490 Mutual loss
.Chapter 490: Mutual losses
I want to make an outbreak day of 10,000
Xiao Fengzhen and Xiao Ke used the morale of their own soldiers to the extreme. Both sides attacked each other desperately, and rarely retreated and evaded. It was precisely because of this that in less than a stick of incense, the number of casualties of soldiers on both sides had exceeded one thousand.
Li Fuchen, who was commanding in the middle of the rear, frowned when he saw this. As a military advisor, he was not optimistic about Xiao Fengzhen's behavior just now. Yes, Xiao Fengzhen's behavior can indeed boost morale, but as a person who touched the whole body, Xiao Fengzhen's behavior just now was too reckless.
"Go and order Chen Sihai and Lin Haida, concentrate their forces to move closer to the general, and attack Xiao Keyong's troops in front of the general." Li Fuchen ordered the commander in a calm tone.
Chen Sihai and Lin Haida, who received the news, quickly gave the command to the adjutant, and led a jing-sharp man to quickly move closer to Xiao Fengzhen's army. After approaching Xiao Fengzhen's army, they immediately entered the battle with Xiao Keyong. Xiao Keyong's army suddenly increased pressure, and Xiao Keyong himself had no time to take care of him. He was entangled by Chen Sihai and Lin Haida.
"Brother, don't panic, brother, come." A loud shout not far away, and a xiǎo wearing white and bright silver armor rushed over with a big gun.
"Keqing, what are you doing?" Xiao Keyong was shocked when he saw the person coming.
"Brother, don't worry, it was my father who asked me to come. My father said that today is the last day of the decisive battle, so that we don't have to hold back. Brother, look, my father even sent all the imperial guards, just to determine the world in one battle today."
"What about your second brother?"
"Brother, don't mention that cowardly. It was not my turn to go to the battlefield in this battle, but when my father intended to ask my second brother to lead the Imperial Guard to help my eldest brother, my second brother suddenly became seriously ill." At the end of the conversation, Xiao Keshuang let out a sarcastic look.
"Keqing... Alas, since that's the case, let you and my brother fight side by side today to end this war on the throne." Xiao Ke said loudly to Xiao Keqing.
"What brother xiǎo wants." Xiao Keqing replied loudly.
"Two, I've been waiting for a long time." Xiao Keyong said to Chen Sihai and Lin Haida standing opposite. Just now, when he was talking to Xiao Keqing, Chen Sihai and Lin Haida stopped attacking and quietly waited for the brothers to finish their words.
"bring it on."
"Kill~"
Chen Sihai met Xiao Keyong, and Lin Haida met Xiao Keqing. As for Xiao Fengzhen, he had been invited back to the formation as the commander-in-chief by Li Fuchen.
The four people were divided into two groups, forming two battle circles where no one dared to approach. In the battle circle, Chen Sihai was retreated step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step, and many wounds were added to his body. If this continues, it is very likely that he will die. However, the scene in the other battle circle is just the opposite. After all, Xiao Keqing gradually fell into a disadvantage after the competition at the beginning. After all, he was a minor and was not as strong as Lin Haida, who was in his prime, and for a while, Xiao Keqing was in danger. Xiao Keqing was also a strong man, unwilling to share his elder brother's heart at this time, so he gritted his teeth and struggled to support him, so that Xiao Keyong did not realize that Xiao Keqing had only the ability to resist at this time and had no power to fight back.
"Die it" Xiao Fengzhen shouted loudly, and Chen Sihai hurriedly retreated. Unfortunately, he was still one step late, and his right hand holding the knife was cut down.
"ah"
"ah"
While Chen Sihai screamed, a scream came from behind Xiao Keyong. Xiao Keyong quickly turned around and saw that Xiao Keqing's right arm was chopped down, and Xiao Keqing fell in a pool of blood.
"Third brother" Xiao Ke shouted, abandoned Chen Sihai, rushed to Xiao Keqing, and retreated with one knife, Lin Haida, who was about to step forward and make up for it.
"Third brother, wake up," Xiao Ke shouted in his arms, holding Xiao Keqing. Xiao Keqing's teeth were closed and his face was pale.
Anger ignited in Xiao Keyong's heart, and he picked up the sword that Xiao Keqing had just used. Xiao Keyong stood up straight, holding the knife in both hands glaring at Chen Sihai and Lin Haida in front of him, "You all are going to die."
"Clang~"
"Dingdeng", Lin Haida was beaten by Xiao Ke who was rushing towards him with a slash towards the wind and took a few steps back before he stood firm. Feeling the numbness of his arms, Lin Haida looked up in horror. His eyes immediately condensed, and Xiao Keyong had already rushed to him and another slash towards the wind and slash.
"Dong~" The sound of the sword and the shield was heard. It turned out that Chen Sihai was holding the shield in his left hand as a blow to Lin Haida, saving Lin Haida's life. Seeing that Chen Sihai had ruined his good deeds, Xiao Keyong immediately kicked Chen Sihai in the belly, kicked Chen Sihai to the ground, and then he was about to step forward to take over Chen Sihai's life. At this time, Chen Sihai was unarmed, and the shield he was holding in his left hand was also dropped aside when he was kicked.
Seeing that Chen Sihai was about to die under Xiao Keyong's knife, Xiao Keyong suddenly felt a cold wind coming from behind, and a cold arrow was pushed to the ground with a backhanded knife. His behavior was really shocking, and he could even pull the cold arrow down without looking back. This could be regarded as a third eye behind him. Everyone who witnessed this scene was stunned for a moment.
If others are stunned, it does not mean that Xiao Keyong will be stunned. The life and death of his brothers will only make him think of revenge. After pushing the cold arrow down, he raised his knife and slashed at Chen Sihai on the ground again without even turning his head. Lin Haida, who was standing beside him, already felt that he held the knife in his hands and held Xiao Keyong's sword. Chen Sihai took the opportunity to turn over and rolled to the side and climbed up. He picked up a knife with his left hand and rushed up, preparing to fight Xiao Keyong with Lin Haida. Lin Haida also knew in his heart that this matter might be a bit lingering, so he did not put forward different opinions on Chen Sihai's joining.
The three of them fought in a group. Although Chen Sihai and Lin Haida were two people, these two people were suppressed and beaten by Xiao Ke. It was seen that Xiao Ke looked like a crazy tiger, with the two swords in his hand like the soul-catching lock in the hands of Hei and Bai Wuchang, constantly attacking Chen Sihai and Lin Haida's vital points.
If you stay for a long time, Chen Sihai and Lin Haida will eventually be seized by Xiao Ke, and left a scar on them again. The wounded Chen Sihai and Lin Haida were also harshed. Before surrendering to Xiao Fengzhen, they were all bandits on the sea, and they were desperate for battles. Now they were suppressed by a person and couldn't raise their heads. This unwilling feeling made Chen Sihai and Lin Haida's heart of pirates, which had gradually become quiet because of their comfortable life, resurrected again.
"Kill~" the two of them roared at the same time and rushed towards Xiao Keyong.
Xiao Keyong raised his sword to greet him, and as soon as he jiās, Xiao Keyong felt something was wrong. As a master warrior, he felt very sensitive about the breath. The two people in front of him were still the two people just now, but the fighting spirit emitted by these two people at this time was completely different from that before. If the two people just now were compared to sheep, then they were now two hungry wolves.
It was a completely life-for-life style. Chen Sihai and Lin Haida completely gave up defense and focused on attack, and had the attitude of dying with Xiao Keyong. As the saying goes, "The soft ones are afraid of the hard ones, the hard ones are afraid of the arrogant ones, and the arrogant ones are afraid of the shameless ones." At this moment, Chen Sihai and Lin Haida are the ones who are afraid of life, and Xiao Keyong is obviously the one who relies on his martial arts skills to act arrogantly. The level of these two is there. If there is no accident, the outcome can be basically determined.
"Cang~" Xiao Ke was picked up by Chen Sihai with his left hand knife, and the price of picking the flying knife was that Chen Sihai was hit by another knife by Xiao Ke. The excessive blood loss made Chen Sihai's face turn white, and beads of sweat were constantly flowing down.
"Sihai, go back and bandage the wound," Lin Haida shouted anxiously. But the stubborn Chen Sihai shook his head firmly and insisted on killing Xiao Keyong with his own hands before bandaging. Chen Sihai knew very well that his right hand was gone, which meant that he had to withdraw from the army after the battle. He was a rude man, and his position as a civil servant was not suitable for him at all, which means that he would only be on the bed in the future. This result was unacceptable to Chen Sihai. It would be better to die in the battlefield today than to do so. However, before death, he would have to drag a few backs.
Chen Sihai was determined and his eyes at Xiao Keyong changed. Life and death were no longer important to him. The key was that the person he was responsible for was heavy when he died. The weight of the person in front of him seemed to meet his standards. Thinking of this, Chen Sihai ignored Lin Haida's persuasion and pounced on Xiao Keyong again.
Seeing this, Xiao Ke also greeted him with swords. Because he had just lost one knife, he could only hold the knife in both hands and deal with Chen Sihai and Lin Haida's two swords at the same time.
The battle lasted for a stick of incense. Chen Sihai suddenly used his shoulder to meet Xiao Ke'er's sword, which was originally just a false move. Chen Sihai's shoulder immediately burst out blood. At this time, Chen Sihai abandoned the sword and clamped the sword tightly with his hands and shoulder muscles. Lin Haida, who was beside him, also took the opportunity to cut Xiao Ke'er's face with a knife. Seeing this, Xiao Ke'er had to abandon the sword and retreat.
Lin Haida was unyielding and swung his sword step by step. Xiao Keyong was now unarmed and could only retreat again and again. As a result, he was caught by a dead corpse on the ground. When Xiao Keyong looked up, he saw Lin Haida aiming at him with a grim smile on his face and slashing him.
"Puff~" A sound of a knife slashing into the bone came, but Xiao Keyong did not feel any pain at all. Xiao Keyong opened his eyes, and saw a familiar back standing in front of him.
"Third brother" Xiao Ke shouted with a sad cry.
I saw a battle knife embedded on the right side of Xiao Keqing's body. Lin Haida, who was standing in front of him with a long sword. The dead Lin Haida looked unwilling, while Xiao Keqing had a smug smile.
After slowly laying Xiao Keqing flattened, Xiao Ke reached out to moisten Xiao Keqing's neck and carotid artery, and his heart suddenly became cold. His pulse was gone, which means that in order to save him, his brother fought with Lin Haida for his life and died together.
"There is another one" Xiao Ke looked at Chen Sihai, who was lying on the ground not far away, and picked up a sword on the ground and walked over. In the battle just now, the personal guards on both sides had already been killed or injured. Otherwise, Xiao Keyong would not have been tripped by a dead body, so he asked Xiao Keqing to use his life to save him.
Walking to Chen Sihai, Xiao Keyong looked at Chen Sihai's slightly ups and downs, raised the sword in his hand to prepare for Chen Sihai's life. At this moment, a cold arrow suddenly came, and Xiao Ke put all his strength on Chen Sihai's body without any notice. It was not until the cold arrow that he was holding the knife's shoulder that Xiao Keyong could react. However, a cold arrow could no longer stop Xiao Keyong's determination to kill Chen Sihai. Xiao Keyong pointed at Chen Sihai's heart and slashed. Chen Sihai didn't even scream, and his body twitched a little and stopped struggling, motionless.
"Hahaha..." Xiao Keyong, who was revenge, suddenly smiled at the sky. At this moment, another cold arrow came, not aiming at Xiao Keyong's shoulders. Xiao Keyong's scream covered his left eye.
Looking at Xiao Keyong who was surrounded by soldiers, Xiao Feng threw down the bow and arrow hatefully and ordered loudly: "Come on, take my knife."
"Sir, please don't be impulsive," Li Fuchen hurriedly advised.
"Shut up and I'm determined. The battle here is in full force. I want to avenge the two generals Chen Sihai and Lin Haida." Xiao Fengzhen shouted at Li Fuchen, not intending to listen to Li Fuchen's persuasion at all.
Seeing that Xiao Fengzhen was determined, Li Fuchen did not dare to persuade him anymore, so he could only remind him: "Sir, you must go, and my subordinates have no way to stop him. But please be honest, don't underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, don't..."
"Okay, I know everything. Take it, this is my sword. If someone dares to disobey your orders, you can take action first and then report. Remember, I only have one request, and end this throne war today." After saying that, Xiao Fengzhen took the personal guards to seek revenge with Xiao Keyong without looking back.
At this time, Xiao Keyong had already returned to the palace with Xiao Keqing's body to apologize to Xiao Ziqiang. Xiao Ziqiang, who had lost a son, did not blame Xiao Keyong because Xiao Keyong was not optimistic at this time, and there were countless wounds on his body. In order to avenge Xiao Keshuang, he lost one eye.
In contrast, Xiao Keshuang, who was suddenly infected with a "serious illness", was even more disliked by Xiao Ziqiang. Xiao Ziqiang had never hated Xiao Keshuang as strongly as he is now. Looking at Xiao Keshuang who was huddled in a corner, Xiao Ziqiang was angry. Just as he was about to yell, he was stopped by Xiao Keyong, who was noticed, and persuaded: "Father, the overall situation is the most important thing. Now is not the time to care about the second brother."
"Hu~" Xiao Ziqiang let out a breath and nodded to Xiao Ke. He ordered the guards beside him, "Come on, wear armor and carry a knife. I want to go to meet Xiao Fengzhen in person."
When Xiao Keyong heard this, he wanted to stop him, but then he thought that with the emperor's presence in the battlefield, it would play a good role in the morale of the soldiers. So he did not persuade Xiao Ziqiang, but instead said to Xiao Ziqiang: "Please allow the child to guard him."
"Accurate." Xiao Ziqiang said in a deep voice.
After everything was ready, Xiao Ziqiang walked out of the tent first, and never looked at Xiao Keshuang again from beginning to end. When Xiao Keshuang was left in the tent, Xiao Keshuang raised his head and stared at Xiao Ziqiang's back, who was gradually moving away from the tent, and made a decision in his heart.
"Long live"
As Xiao Keyong expected, the moment when Xiao Ziqiang's banner representing the emperor was erected on the battlefield, his morale increased significantly. However, the morale of the rebels was gradually declining.
"Send the order and the entire army counterattack," Xiao Ke ordered in a stern voice.
"Order the entire army to come forward. Tell everyone that today is the last battle of the throne war. If you don't achieve your goal, you will never stop." Li Fuchen also gritted his teeth and ordered the messenger.
Xiao Ziqiang looked at the soldiers fighting on the battlefield calmly and said to Xiao Keyong beside him: "Keyong, remember what you saw today and what you experienced, don't take risks in person in the future. I only have you, my son."
"Father..." Xiao Keyong wanted to say that Xiao Keshuang was also your son, but when she thought of the dead Xiao Keqing, Xiao Keyong was extremely disappointed with his second brother. Perhaps only in real danger can one see clearly the essence of a person.
"I will give way to you when I win this war on the throne."
"Father..." Xiao Keyong was shocked when he heard this.
"Don't persuade me. I'm old and don't have the strength to care about these things anymore. And my performance over the past period of time makes me feel very satisfied. I believe you will become a good emperor." Xiao Ziqiang continued to say on his own.
"... Thank you for your father's trust, my son will definitely live up to his father's expectations. However, my father, my son is still very young and don't know how to deal with many things. Please don't rush to enjoy the peace and happiness and continue to teach my son."
"..." Xiao Ziqiang looked at Xiao Keyong who was bowing and bowing, and did not speak for a long time.
Just as the father and son were not in time to speak, a guard rushed over in panic and reported a piece of news that everyone present could not believe.
After hearing Shi Wei's report, Xiao Ziqiang's face suddenly turned red and he shouted to the sky: "How dare you act like this?" After saying that, Xiao Ziqiang spurted a mouthful of blood from his mouth and fell to the ground. Xiao Ke, who was beside him, quickly reached out to support Xiao Ziqiang. He was also a little shocked by what Shi Wei reported.
Just as the two armies were fighting, the second prince Xiao Keshuang faked the imperial edict and led his soldiers to escape from Jin Luo with a large number of civil servants and headed straight for his fiefdom.
Xiao Ziqiang, who woke up, grabbed Xiao Keyong's arm and said repeatedly: "Keyong, you can't escape. Jin Luo is the end of the throne war. Whoever can finally get Jin Luo is the final winner. This is an imperial tradition and has never been changed."
