Chapter 308 He Must Take Songzi City

The setting sun is like blood, and the dust is flying.

The crimson-colored and black-edged flag fluttered in the wind, amidst the dust, the character "Jun" seemed to be immersed in water and trembled.

"It's the Central Guard Army! It's the Central Guard Army!" The blood-stained soldier saw the rushing reinforcements, his black and white eyes were full of energy, and he shouted at the top of his voice.

Don't forget to avoid the enemy's attack, swinging the knife is more powerful.

The Central Guards, who had made up their minds to fight to the death, suddenly came back from a desperate situation. After a long drought and rain, endless vitality poured into their bodies from nowhere. The less, the more freely you can swing it.

Wu Zheng and Zhao Chun looked at each other, and they both saw the light of joy bursting out in each other's eyes.

"Retreat, retreat!" The chief general of the Songzi City reinforcements immediately gave an order, and the retreat horn sounded once, and then the fire was turned off.

It turned out that Wu Zheng saw that the enemy was about to retreat, so he happened to be close to the horn player, and kicked the knife dropped by someone at his feet, and it went straight into the horn player's chest.

"Withdraw—withdraw—"

The horn player was killed, so the general had no choice but to wave the flag, shout a few times at the top of his lungs, then turned his horse's head and evacuated to Songzi City first, so as to drive the soldiers under his tent.

"Brother Ah Chun, stop them!" Wu Zheng killed even more ferociously, no longer keeping any leeway.

The two were encircled by Songzi City's reinforcements one at a time, and even after fighting hard for several hours, this situation did not change.

In the case of disparity in troop strength, as long as they maintain the method of encirclement, they can delay more time while minimizing casualties.

The Lord General of Songzi City, who had not taken Wu Zheng and others seriously before, was very anxious at the moment.

It was never expected that the Central Protectorate not only captured Yidu so quickly, but even dispatched troops to respond quickly.

The chief general of the Songzi City reinforcements waved the flag, causing a small number of people to block Wu Zheng, and the whole army vigorously broke through Zhao Chun's line of defense. At the cost of losing 500 people, they quickly opened a hole and escaped from the trap before Qin Xiao came rushing with the army. Bureau, run away.

"Wu Zheng, Zhao Chun!" Qin Xiao saw the two going to chase from a distance, and shouted to stop them.

During the battle, Qin Xiao was their commander. Seeing the retreating figures of the enemy, the two had no choice but to wait where they were no matter how anxious they were.

"Commander." When the three met, the two saluted with the crowd.

Qin Xiao turned over and dismounted, his eyes fell on the blood-oozing wounds on the two of them: "Rest where you are, the military doctor will step forward!"

"Commander, there are only [-] remnants of the Southern Dynasty Army, and we will not pursue them at this time..."

"No hurry." Qin Xiao interrupted the anxious Wu Zheng, "Take care of your injuries first, and then take a breather."

"Commander!"

"This is a military order!"

Wu Zheng shut up abruptly, walked to the side with his head drooping, chose a seat, and sat down.

Qin Xiao ignored him, let the military doctor go forward to treat their wounds, and ordered others to clean up the battlefield, and find all the people who died in the Central Guard Army.

He ordered a Wuzhu to take ten people to nearby villages and towns to buy carts and transport all the corpses back to Yidu City.

The road was very safe. As for the nearby bandits, they would not dare to show their faces unless they were afraid of being surrounded by the army. Qin Xiao only sent a team of people to escort the body of the same robe.

This place still does not belong to the Northern Dynasty, they sacrificed their lives for the country, and they cannot die in another country.

As for the corpses of the enemy soldiers, Qin Xiao ordered people to pile them up, find a rocky place, pour strong wine, and burn them all.

Mr. Ying said that if these corpses are not handled properly, they will bring disease to the people nearby.

After giving these instructions, Qin Xiao went back to Wu Zheng's side. The two asked the military doctor to treat the critically injured person first, and they were applying medicine to each other's invisible places.

During the time when Junci was not in the barracks, Ying Wuchen not only explained the ancient and modern battles to them, but also taught them some first aid and treatment methods.

It's not a tricky injury that they can handle on their own.

"You two are not curious, why can I bring soldiers to meet you?" Qin Xiao stood in front of the two, looking at the two who pursed their lips and looked unhappy.

He was so focused on sulking that he forgot such an important matter.

Qin Xiao is the main general, even if Yidu City is captured, he will not be able to meet them in person, otherwise who will be guarding Yidu City?

unless……

Seeing the surprised gazes of the two, Qin Xiao nodded slightly, obviously already guessing, just confirming to himself.

"As you think, the general is in Yidu City."

After a pause, Qin Xiao continued: "If it wasn't for the general, Yidu City... I might not be able to take it."

After actually fighting Song Po, Qin Xiao felt like he was meeting his opponent. Song Po was very experienced, no matter how he changed his battles to attack the city, Song Po could defuse it with ease.

Consuming it all the time is extremely detrimental to them.

"The general chased the Southern Dynasty army all the way from Zhijiang City and entered the east gate first. Only then can I lead the army to enter the city gate." Qin Xiao couldn't help but reveal deep admiration and reverence in his eyes, "Nanchao Army 8000 Everyone throws their knives and surrenders."

"In this world, is there any general who can't do it?" Wu Zheng blushed when he heard that.

Seeing this, Zhao Chun immediately poured strong wine on Wu Zheng's ferocious valgus wound on his back.

"Aww—" Wu Zheng grinned in pain, his entire upper body twitching non-stop.

"Are we going back to the city?" Zhao Chun asked Qin Xiao while wiping Wu Zheng's oozing blood.

Qin Xiao turned his head and looked in the direction of Songzi City: "No, we want to take down Songzi City."

"What?" Wu Zheng's expression changed in fright.

He just wanted to kill those remnant soldiers just now, and never thought about taking down Songzi City at all!
"This is the general's order." Qin Xiao replied.

"What are you waiting for? Let's kill now!" Wu Zheng broke free from the cotton cloth wrapped around Zhao Chun, and grabbed his spear.

Qin Xiao: "Wait another quarter of an hour."

"Close the wound quickly." Zhao Chun pulled Wu Zheng back.

"Don't drag me, I'll do it myself." Wu Zheng shook off Zhao Chun, knowing that he didn't want to question Qin Xiao again, so he could only mutter in a moderate voice while wound himself, "Time waits for no one, A quarter of an hour later, people don't know how far they have escaped!"

"Crack!" Zhao Chun coughed.

Qin Xiao still stood upright, facing the direction of Songzi City: "The general chased and killed the Southern Dynasty army who came back to aid Zhijiang City, so he easily entered the city."

After attacking the city head-on, Qin Xiao knew how difficult it is to attack the city.

He decided to use what he learned now.

This place is fifty miles away from the north gate of the main city of Songzi City, and it will take at least three hours to return to the city.

They can't chase too closely, and they have to chase them in pieces. If they go, they will step into the territory of the Southern Dynasty. The people nearby are all the people of the Southern Dynasty, and their hearts are towards the Southern Dynasty.

Let the fleeing army mistakenly think that they have given up the pursuit and let go of their guards, which will be more convenient for the Central Guard's next actions.

This time, he must take down Songzi City!
