Chapter 188 Unyielding
"Are you afraid of death?"

"Do not."

"If you fall into a deadly situation, do you dare to die?"

"dare."

"If the enemy is ten times stronger than me, do you dare to die without hesitation?"

"dare."

"Good! Remember your words today."

"promise!"

Wearing heavy armor and standing with a knife, Liu Lin couldn't help but think of the conversation he had with Zheng Pu in Hanzhong County when he heard the high-pitched and shrill blare.

At that time, heavy infantry had just been picked.

Zheng Pu found him and asked him if he would like to be the commander of the pawns.

Yes, it is to give him a choice, not to force it.

Because just like Zhang Bao who commanded the armored cavalry, once he became the commander of the heavy infantry, he would have little chance to become a general in the future.

After all, heavy infantry only need to obey the generals, and they don't need to think too much.

But Liu Lin is very grateful for this arrangement.

Since he lost his father at the age of nine, his mother has been admonishing him all the time, because his identity is sensitive and he must act cautiously.It is necessary to remember not to make friends with others, not to be disobedient; but also to always worry that you will attract too many people's attention.

This has become a belief engraved in his bones.

As the commander of heavy infantry, he will be a pawn in the future, and no one will worry that he has too much military power.

Because it is impossible to have too many pawns.

And when they are in battle, the heavy infantry is the decisive soldier, and there is no shortage of credit.

As long as he steadfastly wields his blade to kill the enemy and slowly accumulates meritorious service, he will be able to restore his son to the surname of "Kou" in the future.

Today's son Liu Chan is benevolent.

When I crowned him with him a few years ago, I found a marriage for him, and now he has a son.

He is still very young and will have other children in the future.When it comes to his children's generation, their status will no longer be embarrassing.

Because of the passage of time, time can dilute many things.

He just wants to gain fame for his children so that they can live a more comfortable life.Don't be like yourself, being implicated by your parents and being cautious, you dare not even have friends.

However, it is not so easy to assume the command of heavy infantry.

In addition to Zheng Pu's requirement of not fearing death, all soldiers must be convinced.

The soldiers who can be selected as heavy infantry are all brave and elite in the army, and their personal salary alone is twice that of other soldiers.

He remembered that when he first entered the death camp, he was challenged for more than a month.

This is the rule set by Zheng Pu.

Those who dare to die are the most capable, such as the chief, team leader, and commander, etc., are not fixed from time to time.

As long as you think you can do it, you can challenge the superiors, and if you win the position, it will be your own.

Liu Lin didn't have much beard, so he was naturally looked down upon by those soldiers in the army.

Still, it's fine.

He won the respect of all in the end.

After gritting his teeth countless times, ignoring the pain, and beating all the challengers to the ground.

Today, he also ushered in the time to fulfill his promise.

When Zheng Pu retreated with Qiyacuo and other trilogy, he also succeeded in luring the enemy.

As for whether he can kill Wei Jun, that is his responsibility.

"As long as one person is alive, don't stop charging!"

This is the military rule of the Death Battalion.

He made it, and he will always be at the forefront.

"war!"

He who can express his meaning with one word, and will never say a word more, pulled out the ring head knife and moved forward step by step.

"war!"

"Battle! Fight!"

The five hundred heavy infantry behind him gave way to the passage in the middle, and after Zheng Pu's trilogy passed, they also roared and marched forward.

And Wang Mi, who came after him, couldn't help being shocked when he saw this.

He led the army in such a hurry that there was no formation at all.

It is impossible to break through the enemy's formation when facing the heavily armored Han army in front of them.

Even, he will usher in the fate of being slaughtered, but he can no longer gather soldiers to fight in formation.

In a hurry, he had no choice but to rely on the vigor that he had just succeeded in the night attack, drumming up his morale and moving forward bravely, intending to defeat the Han army by numbers.

This is a choice any general will make.

It is also the most appropriate choice.

However, this option is also the worst option.

Generally, heavy infantry with a height of more than seven feet and eight inches, fine armor of more than [-] (Han) catties, all shields forged from iron bars, plus the ring head knife forged by Pu Yuan, the heavy steps of the Han army advancing in formation The pawns are invincible.

The soldiers of the Wei army were very sad to find that their blades slashed on the Han army, but bounced back instead.

The spear pierced through, but the shock made his arms go numb.

Moreover, unless they slashed or stabbed the Han army's face, throat, and genitals where there was no armor defense, the Han army would not take precautions against the blade, but directly slashed or stabbed with a spear.

Relying on the protection of the armor, they fought with swords and spears with their lives.

They can't cut or stab the Han army, but the Han army can kill them with a single knife.

Even their spears or ring swords were cut off by the Han army a lot!

There is no formation to protect and rely on each other, the weapons are obviously inferior, and the Han army is all carefully selected strong and brave people. As soon as the two armies came into contact, the Han army was like a mountain torrent, killing the Wei army and retreating steadily.

Moreover, the fire in the barracks on both sides was too great, and the Wei army couldn't get around it at all.

Many unknown soldiers in the rear squeezed forward, pushing the soldiers in front to the blade of the Han army.

In less than a quarter of an hour, more than [-] Wei soldiers lay dead on the ground.

Because the tactics of the heavy infantry of the Han army are very simple and practical.

Ignoring any attack, raising the shield, swinging the knife, and not stepping.

When one fell to the ground, the people in the back row immediately made up for it; when the other person was exhausted, he took a step sideways to let Pao Ze top him first, and he avoided the back row to rest and wait for the relay.

In this way, the offensive is endless, and the footsteps are constantly moving forward.

Wang Mi's eyes are about to burst.

He finally came to his senses: the success of the night attack was due to the trick of the Han army!
Otherwise, if the Han army was suddenly attacked, there would not be so many infantry waiting in line in a short period of time.

Now he has sent his own soldiers to send the message with Mingdi.

Xia Houru must also lead the army!

Not surprisingly, the Han army must have set up an ambush outside the camp to flank the army led by Xia Houru, which also cut off his retreat.

At this moment, if you advance, you will live, and if you retreat, you will die!

The only hope is to break through the formation of heavy infantry of the Han army and find a way out by the back door of the Han army camp, so as to avoid the fate of being pinched from front to back.

"kill!"

With a roar, he personally led the five hundred bodyguards to hand over the swords, intending to rush out a bloody path.

However, he was doomed to futility.

In order to allow the soldiers to still have combat power after marching, night raids and sneak camps are all lightly packed.Facing the heavy infantry phalanx of the Han army, his personal bravery could not offset the disadvantage of ordnance.

Half a quarter of an hour passed, and only 200 people remained of his five hundred personal guards.

Also, he was killed and retreated step by step.

Inevitably, the morale of his soldiers collapsed.

Not only because they are unmatched, but also because more and more people know that they have fallen.

At this time, outside the barracks of the Han army, various drums were beating like thunder, and the sound was inspiring.

Xia Houru has led the army to the camp of the Han army!
The front had just stepped into the camp for more than ten steps, Zhang Ni led the Xuanwu army to kill from the side; Zhang Bao's armored cavalry took the opportunity to charge, and directly broke through Xia Houru's front and rear troops.

Cao Jun, who was suddenly attacked with mental calculations and unintentional, even Xia Houru, who had been in the army for decades, could not prevent the soldiers from collapsing.

In particular, the armored cavalry led by Zhang Bao was like a torrent of steel when it charged into battle.Anyone in front of men and horses in heavy armor will be killed by sharp blades, hit by horses or trampled to death.

The method may be different, and the ending is without exception.

As for the Zhoutai Department, after the leaders and soldiers cooperated with Zhang Yi's Xuanwu Army to break through the Xiahou Confucian army formation, they turned around and entered the barracks to flank Wang Mi's Department.

The front was killed and retreated steadily, and the rear was concealed, and Wang Mibu couldn't hold on.

And under the pressure of the fire, there is no way to avoid it, no way to escape!
Either be killed, or be swept into the scorching flames and become a human torch, which is extremely tragic.

At this time, Wang Mi also knew that the Han army was coming from behind.

There was also sadness in my heart.

There is an enemy in the rear, and he wants to break through the small phalanx of the Han army's heavy infantry. It is an extravagant hope: even if he can break through, the Han army in the rear will also be killed, which is also a dead end.

Therefore, his strong man cut off his wrist.

Let the deputy general lead the headquarters to delay the heavy infantry of the Han army, and take the remaining troops to the rear army.

He wants to take advantage of the fact that the soldiers still have some fighting spirit at this moment, break through the Han army in the rear, and fight their way out!

Still, it's a pity.

When he arrived at the rear army, only a thousand soldiers remained of the [-] soldiers who followed him into the Han camp.

Few people died in battle, less than 1000 people; because of panic, they were pushed and stamped on each other to death, and those who were buried in the fire were only two to 300 people.

But his lieutenant, facing Liu Lin's heavy pawns, directly surrendered.
He originally wanted to fight a bloody way back, but in desperation, he had no choice but to gather soldiers to form an formation and defend.

In other words, it is the fate of being captured or killed.

"Whoever descends shall be spared death!"

"Whoever descends shall be spared death!"

Zhou Tai, who surrounded Wang Mi and others with his soldiers, did not leave to attack, but asked the soldiers to persuade them to surrender loudly.

After all, although the Wei army seems to be at the end of its strength, there are still more than a thousand people fighting in formation at this time.

If the trapped beast is still fighting, many people will be killed or injured.

Moreover, the Han people are small and the people are few, and they can add some labor to the court by recruiting captives.

Now that the Han army is sure of victory, Zhou Tai plans to persuade him to surrender.

Anyway, the power of beheading is not as good as the power of capturing; and his subordinates don't need to pursue it.

"brush!"

As soon as the Han army's call to surrender fell, all the soldiers of the Wei army cast their eyes on Wang Mi, waiting for him to make a decision.

They are all soldiers at the lowest level, and they lick their blood for food and clothing, instead of having the same ideals and ambitions as the generals, leaving behind a reputation of loyalty and honoring the lintel of the marquis and worshiping the general.

Nobody wants to die if they can live.

And Wang Mi also raised his head, and glanced at the faces of the soldiers one by one.

He saw confusion, tenacity, pleading, and anger. Between life and death, life is full of states, each with its own merits.

do i surrender
Or do you want to show your ambition with death?

For a moment, Wang Mi also hesitated.

He wanted to imitate Liangzhou Haoyou's "flexible and stretchable" style, but he also worried about implicating the family members of the clan who were placed in Jingzhao, Guanzhong.

"Subordinates are willing to follow the general around, and die without hesitation!"

The Buqudu beside him suddenly said something softly.

This Buqudu is also a man from Xiliang, he is related to him, and his family is also in Jingzhao.

Therefore, he was afraid that Wang Mi would surrender, so he expressed his feelings first.

"Well, I know."

Gently patted the other party's shoulder, and comforted, Wang Mi had a decision in his heart.

Xiliang man, death is death!
If I am greedy for life and afraid of death, how different will I be from the group of scumbags who rebelled and harmed Li Shu in the past for the sake of power!
huh~~~~~~
Taking a deep breath of relief, Wang Mi raised his head and let the voice resound through the world.

"A man born in the world should stand on his head between heaven and earth! How can he live on his knees! I am not talented, and I wish to die to show my ambition and live up to the man in this life! The current situation is poor, if you want to surrender, then go, I Do not obstruct."

As soon as his words fell, Buqu Du was so excited that his eyes burst into tears, and he also roared, "This subordinate is willing to live and die with the general, and death will not come soon!"

The soldiers fell silent.

The general suddenly let them make their own decisions, which made them a little bit at a loss who were used to obeying orders.

After a while, someone suddenly dropped his weapon and walked out of the formation with a face of shame.

Slowly, several more came out in a row
more than ten.
Hundreds.
One after another, there were only two hundred soldiers left among the thousand soldiers.

"Greed for life!"

"coward!"

"Pooh!"

These two hundred people gathered together, staring at and spurning those greedy robes with fierce eyes.

Immediately, a soldier spat fiercely on the ground and shouted loudly, "I am willing to fight with the general, and I will die soon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more people shouted with red eyes.

Wang Mi was inexplicably moved, his eyes moistened slightly.

The barren soil of Xiliang has brought up border disciples who are decisive, brave, clear about grievances and grievances, and look down on life and death.

"good!"

Seeing this, Wang Mi raised the hilt of his sword high, and rushed to the Han army in the lead, "If you die here today, the imperial court will surely settle down for our family, so don't worry about it! Everyone, see you in Jiuquan! Kill!"

"See you, Jiuquan!"

With a roar, the crowd rushed forward immediately.

"kill!"

The Han army also issued an order, and immediately the two groups of people got mixed together, which was extremely tragic.

The exhausted soldiers of Wei Jun burst out the last afterglow of their lives.

No one cared whether the arm would be chopped off or whether the body would be poked out by a spear.They just greeted the enemy with the weapons in their hands, and wanted to kill the opponent before they died.

The edge of the knife is curled and cracked; the tip of the spear is broken, and the shaft of the spear is broken. You can hammer with your fist, kick with your foot, and bite with your teeth.

The sudden explosion for a while killed the Han army back half an arrow.

But after a while, the disadvantages became prominent, and people kept screaming fiercely, falling to the ground.

They were too few in number and too weary.

"Wait!"

"呵向~~~"

The sound of the friction between the blade and the blade made people's ears sore and numb.

Wang Mi slammed his sword fiercely on the protruding ring-shou knife, bursting out a string of sparks in the dark night, illuminating each other's ferocious faces.

Immediately, with a pop, a spearhead got into the opponent's chest, and he pulled it out suddenly after twisting it. Blood gushed out instantly, turning his face pale and his eyes dull.

Wang Mi turned his head and saw that it was the director of the song.

He showed a creepy smile at Wang Mi, his mouth was full of blood, and then he turned around and stabbed another soldier with the spear in his hand.

When he turned around, Wang Mi also saw that there was a gash in his waist, he was wrapped in clothes indiscriminately, and with the violent movements, blood was oozing non-stop.

No wonder his mouth was full of blood. It turned out that he had been injured long ago.

It is estimated that the spear in his hand was also taken by killing someone else, because he was wearing a ring head knife.

"Strong! A good man should be like this!"

With a praise, Wang Mi raised his sword and moved forward suddenly, guarding Buqu and guarding his side.

Such a situation made Zhou Tai vomit blood with anger.

Besieging more than two hundred remnants of the army, they were killed and retreated within half an arrow. If word got out, he might become a laughing stock in the army.

Therefore, Zhou Tai personally led two soldiers to besiege Wang Mi.

Catch the thief first to catch the king.

The opponent's soldiers were all fearless of death with a sense of blood and courage in their hearts. Killing Wang Mi meant taking away their morale, and the other soldiers collapsed without fighting.

"Wu that thief, come and die!"

He roared, and went straight up to Wang Mi.

How long can a panting Wang Mi, together with the injured Buqudu, stand against the other two soldiers?

The answer is less than twenty breaths.

puff!
puff!
The sound of the spearhead piercing into the body sounded, and I saw that the Buqudu's chest had already been pierced by two spearheads, bleeding profusely.

The spear in his hand slipped down without a sound, and a lot of blood suddenly choked up in his mouth.

Wang Mi saw it and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

I just feel my nose is sore.

Bu Qudu also looked at him slightly from the side, grinning slightly, showing his blood-stained teeth, "General, I'll take a step first, Jiuquan"

Before he finished speaking, the opponent's soldier pulled out his spear, causing him to fall to the ground without making a sound.

"what!"

With a tragic howl, Wang Mi swung his sword forward angrily, like a mad tiger, and slashed at the soldier who stabbed Bu Qudu to death.

But the opponent moved back and quickly avoided it.

Zhou Tai waved his hand, ordered his soldiers to block the other Wei troops, and faced Wang Mi himself.

And just passively defending, waiting for Wang Mi who fell into madness to be exhausted.

"call"

"Hoohoo."

Wang Mi was panting like a cow, facing Zhou Tai's cold gaze, the sword he swung had become limp.

He felt that countless charcoal fires had been stuffed into his chest, burning ragingly, scorching his heart and lungs.

Every breath is painful.

Simply, stand with a long sword and stare at Zhoutai.

His eyes were no longer vicious, and there was not much anger on his face. He said softly, "I will not surrender. The general is also a member of the army, why don't you give me a good time?"

Hearing this, Zhou Tai is silent.

After a while, I took a step back and cupped my hands, "Excellent! I will honor your reputation and send you on your way!"

"good!"

Wang Mi laughed loudly, with the last ounce of strength in his body, he moved forward decisively, and slashed at Zhou Tai's neck with the blade.

And Zhou Tai's eyes flashed brightly.

It was also a stride forward, and the ring knife in his hand suddenly lifted from bottom to top, and slashed fiercely on Wang Mi's waist.

The force is heavy, the momentum is fierce!
Wang Mi's ribs snapped through the armor, and when his internal organs were damaged, he was thrown to the ground.

The blood seemed to burst a bank.

However, Wang Mi ignored it, as if he didn't feel pain.

He just lay on the ground and turned his head slightly to look at the soldiers who were already crying and fighting because he fell to the ground.

Immediately, he looked at the still dark sky without a single star, and silently let go of the sword hilt.

I wonder if General Xiahou escaped danger?

If at that time I had not encouraged the general to go to war, but had supported the general in carrying out the strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the field, wouldn't there be the same disaster as today?
Oh, that's it~~~
I only hope that the Luoyang Temple and General Xiahou will treat my clan and family well, considering that I died in battle.

Wang Mi let out a long sigh in his heart, and his eyes slowly lost their luster.
