Chapter 1369: Can officers and soldiers also be fearless of death?

The mission Chen Yongfu received was not to annihilate the bandit army led by Tian Jianxiu, but to keep Tian Jianxiu and his men here so that they could no longer reinforce other places.

Tian Jianxiu seemed to have realized this, so he did not continue to fight with him. He decisively chose to withdraw his troops back to the camp and wait and see what would happen.

Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with Tian Jianxiu's strategy!

However, something happened to Cheng Zihong, who was originally trapped on the mound, which was something Tian Jianxiu had not expected.

…………

Tian Jianxiu led 200 cavalrymen to guard the southeast, but his eyes were watching Hou Daqing's 300 cavalrymen slowly retreating northward. Seeing that Hou Daqing was already 200 steps away, he was about to lead his troops to catch up...

At this moment, the cavalry of Chen Yongfu was still more than 200 steps away from him, and there was absolutely no way they could stop him from leading his troops to retreat northward, but accidents always strike at unexpected moments!
Just when Tian Jianxiu was caught off guard, the remaining one hundred or so officers and soldiers on the mound suddenly rushed down and killed Tian Jianxiu.

There were only less than a hundred cavalrymen in the front, and almost all of them were injured, but they rushed forward like wild horses, fearing that they would not be able to stop the retreating bandits.

Especially the officers and soldiers who had lost their horses and were following behind. Although there were only seventy or eighty of them, they had pulled away from the enemy with a distance of nearly one hundred and fifty steps, and the last few were limping.

If you look closely, there seems to be someone holding a spear or sword in his hand, using it as a walking stick, and rushing down the mound behind the team...

"Damn it, you're looking for death!" Tian Jianxiu cursed.

At this moment, he had no time to say more, and shouted: "Don't get entangled with the officers and soldiers, just charge forward, don't fight to the death!"

In Tian Jianxiu's opinion, the officers and soldiers on the mound were already exhausted. He had never taken them seriously in the first place. Now that he saw them dare to rush down on their own initiative, although he felt a little surprised, he did not take it seriously.

But in reality, a slap in the face often happens in an instant - before you have time to react - you've already been slapped!

…………

Cheng Zihong was so hoarse that he couldn't shout out a word, but he still roared at the top of his voice, like a wolf seeking revenge, and galloped on his horse, shaking the slightly chipped steel knife in his hand.

He rushed to the front of the team and ran into a burly knight of the rebel army. Cheng Zihong not only did not control his horse to slow down, but he squeezed the horse's belly hard and urged it to run faster...

At the moment when they were about to collide, he pulled the reins of the warhorse under his crotch, causing the horse's head to tilt slightly to the side, just barely avoiding the warhorse of the opposing army, thus avoiding an actual collision between the two sides.

But in this split second, Cheng Zihong jumped up from the horse's back, pounced on the knight of the Chuang army next to him, and rolled to the ground with him in his arms.

The steel knife disappeared. Cheng Zihong hugged the thief with both hands and bit his ear. Before the thief could shout, he felt his left hand touched the thief's nose. He immediately inserted his fingers into his nostrils and started to pull and pull...

The bandit's ear was torn off in half, and before he could even scream in pain, he felt his nostril being pierced and about to be torn apart, causing him to scream in pain...

Suddenly, the thief felt that his right hand seemed to touch a soft place. He immediately used all his strength to press it hard. He heard an extremely hoarse scream, and he also felt that he seemed to have pressed out something?
Cheng Zihong suddenly felt the pain unbearable. He screamed hoarsely and let go of the thief's nose, but still bit his ear and tore it hard. At the same time, he scratched the thief's body with both hands... Suddenly, he held a hard object in his hand. Without time to think about it, Cheng Zihong endured the severe pain in his eyes, pulled it out with force, and stabbed the thief fiercely...

After an unknown amount of time, the bandit finally stopped moving. Cheng Zihong felt weak all over and even lost the pain in his eyes.

He lay quietly on the ground, letting the shouts and screams around him deafen the sky. He was even too lazy to pay attention to the hooves of war horses passing by him. He felt extremely relaxed, as if he had been out of it.

Faintly, Cheng Zihong seemed to see his parents. They were leading their wives and children, standing in the gap of the fighting on the battlefield not far away. They were smiling and waving at him, as if they were calling him to come over for a reunion.

Cheng Zihong felt extremely comforted to be able to see his long-lost relatives at this time, but he no longer wanted to get up. The corners of his mouth turned up, and he looked at his relatives in the distance with a smile on his face.

He also wanted to wave his hand - but he couldn't lift it up no matter what. Suddenly, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes and he lost consciousness!
…………

The brutal fight between Cheng Zihong and the bandits was just a small episode on the battlefield. There were more brutal fights everywhere. It can be said that there is only more brutal fights, not the worst!
Tian Jianxiu really miscalculated this time.

He had never anticipated when the government troops would become so ferocious and courageous.

Aren't the soldiers on our side the ones who are fearless and brave enough to die?
When will officers and soldiers be able to be brave and fearless of death?
Even if he had many questions in his mind, he had to face the cruel reality at this moment. However, the advantage was that the government troops who intercepted him were too few, and the two hundred cavalrymen around him were fresh troops who had never been in battle.

But because of this delay, he was caught up by Chen Yongfu who came from afar.

"My sons, it's time for revenge!"

Chen Yongfu began to encourage the elite cavalry around him from a hundred steps away. He shouted: "Who are these thieves! Kill these thieves! Kill..."

More than a thousand elite cavalrymen of the government army let out deafening roars and joined the fighting on the battlefield like mad tigers.

…………

Even though Tian Jianxiu had been in battle for a long time and had mastered the skills of fighting on the battlefield, he was powerless when faced with such a life-threatening fighting style. He could only watch Chen Yongfu behind him catch up with him.

"General, we will protect you and charge out from the west!" Several personal soldiers rode up to him on horseback, and one of them shouted loudly, urging him to escape alone.

Tian Jianxiu also knew that the situation was extremely dangerous at the moment. There were at least a thousand government cavalrymen rushing towards him from afar. It was impossible for his two hundred men to resist them. They could only delay for a little time.

But if he was asked to escape alone, how could he do it - you have to know that Tian Jianxiu was famous for "loving his soldiers like his own sons"!

"General, it will be too late if you don't leave now!" a personal soldier urged again.

"Stop talking nonsense and kill the officers and soldiers!"

Tian Jianxiu cursed angrily, and then shouted loudly: "Even if I die here today, I will never abandon you and live alone!"
