The Child Emperor

Wang Lingshang is also an old man. Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong. He immediately pushed away the corpse on his body, turned around and swung his knife, just in time to block the incoming short sword. If he was one step later, he would be pierced by a sword.

"You're not dead!" Wang Lingshang was taken aback.

"My fate is great." Du Chuanyun said, stabbing twice.

The two fought on the edge of the rock. Du Chuanyun had a knife, but he was better at using a short sword. Relying on the kung fu on his legs, he kept attacking and stabbing around the enemy. No leaks, and occasionally counterattack, Du Chuanyun did not dare to take it hard.

After seven or eight moves, Du Chuanyun was forced to retreat again. Wang Lingshang was about to take advantage of the situation to pursue him when he heard a "Hey" coming from behind him. He heard the voice of Marquis Tien, but he didn't dare to be careless. He turned around and glanced. Horrified in his heart, he almost cried out.

The deceased companion Gu Juren, with dull eyes, rushed towards him.

The horror was only a moment, and Wang Lingshang immediately realized that Gu Juren was pushed over by Marquis Juan. At the same moment, Du Chuanyun stabbed again, Wang Lingshang swung the knife to block, and slapped the corpse with the other hand.

The sword was blocked and the body was photographed, but Wang Lingshang felt a chill in his stomach. He looked down and saw that a knife had stabbed him. The knife followed behind the body and pierced directly at the last moment. The speed was not fast, but it was quiet. Silent.

Wang Lingshang let out a loud roar, raised his knife and slashed at Hou Juan who was behind the corpse, and the underside was cold again. This time, he was fatally wounded. He let out his last breath, the knife in his hand fell to the ground, and the man fell with it.

Du Chuanyun retracted his sword and walked around to Marquis Juan, "Hey, okay, he's already dead."

Only then did Han Ruzi slowly draw out the knife and take two steps back, "Dead?"

"Count me killed, don't be afraid."

"I'm not afraid!" Han Ruzi said angrily.

"It's up to you. Your hand strength is not small. It would be better if I practiced with my grandfather for another year and a half."

"Yeah." Han Ruzi squeezed out a smile, knowing exactly where his strength came from.

Several soldiers came running from the mountainside, and when they saw the three corpses, they were all startled, "What's going on? Are there any Huns?"

Han Ruzi shook his head and pointed to the bodies of Wang Lingshang and Gu Juren, "They are hidden assassins." Pointing to the soldiers of the trilogy, "He... died to save me."

The soldiers who came were shocked and angry. They were also fishermen from the Kidnapper Lake. They raised their knives and chopped the body of the guard a few times to vent their anger.

"What happened to the Huns at the back of the mountain?" Han Ruzi asked.

"The cliff is not easy to climb, so two Huns came up. I killed one, and the other fell by myself. I almost fell, and it was considered to have saved my life. As soon as I climbed up, I heard them discussing how to kill you. —I’m so sorry, I chose them as bodyguards.”

"It has nothing to do with you, I put everyone in danger."

"When I was fighting with Wang Lingshang, why didn't you call someone, but went into battle by yourself?"

Han Ruzi was stunned for a moment, he didn't know why, he had only one thought at the time, he must try his best to kill Wang Lingshang, and he forgot to call someone to help, "Oops, I should leave a living room, I haven't figured out who it is. sell them."

"There is no way now. You will have experience in the future. Let's solve the problem at the foot of the mountain first."

The Huns at the foot of the mountain moved again, and many people ran around on horseback, shouting constantly, as if they were going to launch a larger-scale attack.

Han Ruzi looked into the distance, the night was endless, and they had nowhere to go.

Fang Daye didn't care when he saw the corpse, and asked Du Chuanyun directly, "Is there a way?"

"There are cliffs in the back. Unless we are all monkeys, we will die if we die, no, no, we will die in ninety-nine."

"Yeah." Fang Daye was never excited at ordinary times, but he was not depressed at this time, "There are not many arrows, so we have to save some for the daytime use, and when the Huns attack again, we have to fight a round of hand-to-hand combat, put down all the bows and arrows, pick up Sword and shield."

Everyone should put down their bows and arrows, and some people will move them to a higher place. Others are lined up on the mountainside. The Huns have come to the foot of the mountain and are removing the casualties and the shields and weapons on the ground.

Han Ruzi and Du Chuanyun also joined the team, Fang Daye walked over and said, "You guys go to the back."

"No, I'll fight with everyone." Han Ruzi said firmly.

Fang Daye stared at him for a while, "You are General Zhenbei, say something."

Han Ruzi walked to the front of the queue, first glanced at the busy Huns, and turned to face the Chu army he had brought with him. Apologize? That doesn't make any sense; bait? All promises are too far; threats? He couldn't think of anything more terrifying than the Huns in front of him; loyal to the king and defending the country? The tribe soldiers in the team were unwilling to join the army to fight against the Huns from the very beginning. The Jianghu people just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill the Marquis of Juan. Those real soldiers were probably ordered to act.

Han Ruzi said loudly, "We live and die together."

Then he turned and held the knife in both hands, ashamed of not being able to say something more inspiring.

"Live and die together!" Suddenly, there was a shout from behind.

Han Ruzi felt a little at ease, and was still a little excited. Yes, someone wanted to kill him, but there were also people who saved him and followed him.

Fang Daye stepped forward and handed over a shield. Han Ruzi took it in his hand and nodded to the old general.

Fang Daye took two steps back. He didn't need a shield, he held a flag in one hand and a knife in the other.

After the Huns cleaned up the battlefield, they rode to the foot of the mountain by themselves and said loudly, "At the last chance, those who surrender can be spared death."

Han Ruzi wanted to remind everyone that the Huns were lying. The first persuasion was just "or can" to avoid death, but now it has become a direct avoidance of death, without the slightest sincerity.

A clear curse sounded behind him, and Du Chuanyun was the first to answer the Huns' persuasion to surrender.

The man turned his horse's head and left. A group of Xiongnu soldiers lined up, also with shields and knives. The configuration was exactly the same as that of the Chu soldiers, but there were more of them, at least three hundred people, standing in a dozen rows, slowly walking up the mountain .

The only advantage of the Chu army was that the hillside was narrow, and the Huns could not adopt encirclement tactics.

The Huns stopped and walked, not because of fear, but to keep their formation neat. This was a well-trained army, very similar to the Chu army, but with heavier armor.

The distance is getting closer and closer, and under the moonlight, the animal head pattern on the shield looks particularly hideous.

Han Ruzi's mouth was dry, and he felt in a trance that there was no one behind him, he was facing a group of enemies alone.

The Chu army did not shoot arrows, and the Huns began to speed up their steps, lowered their shields a little, and raised their swords high.

Han Ruzi could no longer bear the silence before the battle, and suddenly shouted loudly, trying to release the turbid energy and fear in his body.

This roar was still a little childish, but he didn't care, he almost involuntarily stepped towards the Huns, he was afraid, very afraid, the more he did, the more he had to go forward to fight, and use the most real fear to suppress those who were standing still. Illusory fear.

After a while, the roars continued, and the figures on both sides ran faster than General Zhenbei. Du Chuanyun took the lead, Fang Daye's huge body surpassed Han Ruzi in two steps, blocking him behind him, and more soldiers seemed to leave. The arrow of the string followed closely behind.

Han Ruzi no longer felt lonely, and the so-called fear disappeared in an instant. He didn't think about anything, except for one thought: run faster and not fall behind others.

But Fang Daye was like a rolling boulder blocking the front, making him unable to surpass it.

Soon, Fang Daye was no longer a problem. The Chu army and the Huns chose the sword and shield tactics, eliminating many intermediate processes and starting a fierce fight.

Han Ruzi finally saw an empty space in front of him. He didn't see the Xiongnu's face, but only the shield of the other side, so he slashed with a knife, and the other side also struck.

The steel knife slashed on the lacquered wooden shield, making a dull sound. Han Ruzi's left arm was numb, and he almost fell backwards. I don't know who pushed him, and the whole person pressed forward. The opponent could not draw the knife immediately, but he himself tried his best to pull out the knife set on the opponent's shield, and slashed again.

Who cut it? Which part was cut? It doesn't matter at all, just cut the knife out.

The pressure on the shield disappeared, and Han Ruzi continued to charge forward, seemingly stepping on someone.

The battle continued for a while, and suddenly Fang Daye's voice sounded: "Back! Back!"

Han Ruzi was already in a state of battle, and he was so aggressive that he couldn't stop at all. Finally, he was able to distinguish between the enemy and me. He found that Fang Daye was blocking the way.

Fang Daye held a flag in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, with General Zhenbei under his arm, and strode up the mountain.

Han Ruzi struggled twice, and suddenly saw the reason for the retreat.

The Huns are shooting arrows.

A group of Xiongnu cavalry followed the sword and shield infantry up the mountain, and were shooting indiscriminately from a few dozen paces away, regardless of the enemy or the enemy.

Arrows poured down like rain, and a large number of soldiers fell down, wailing and screaming. Han Ruzi was not hit by the arrow. It was purely luck, and Fang Dalai's quick response.

The Chu army retreated to a higher place, out of the range of the Huns.

Han Ruzi was put down by Fang Daye, and at a glance, there were only twenty or thirty people left, and most of the soldiers fell under the rain of arrows.

The Huns stopped shooting arrows, and their sword and shield soldiers also suffered heavy casualties. The survivors wanted to retreat, but they were forced back after not running far. This time they would have an absolute advantage and only need to kill the wounded with their swords.

"Go and help!" Han Ruzi said loudly.

Fang Daye reached out to stop it and shook his head.

"I said, 'Live and die together', Du Chuanyun is still there..."

"It's time for us to use bows and arrows."

"But……"

Fang Daye's eyes became stern, "You are a general, you have to do what a general should do, don't let us down."

Fang Daye inserted the flag into the ground with force, took a set of bows and arrows from a soldier, and handed it to General Zhenbei.

Han Ruzi dropped the knife and took the bow and arrow in his hand, but he couldn't draw the arrow and put it on the bow.

Fang Daye took another set of bows and arrows, "Is the general planning to wait for the Huns to kill all the soldiers of Chu?"

The Xiongnu sword and shield soldiers have returned to the battlefield and are looking for Chu soldiers. No matter whether they are alive or dead, they will cut a few knives, and they will soon be able to clear the battlefield, and then they will continue to attack.

Han Ruzi slammed his arrow and drew his bow, aiming at the Huns on the mountainside, and then raised his arm slightly.

"It's dawn." Han Ruzi said in surprise. Not long ago, the night was dark as ink, but now only a thin layer was left.

Twenty or thirty Chu soldiers were all ready to shoot.

"Wait." Han Ruzi put down his bow and arrow, "Look!"

In the morning light, the army of the Huns clearly appeared in front of them, and behind them, an army was fast approaching, raising the sky full of dust.

"Impossible." Fang Daye didn't put down his bow and arrow, "They haven't reached Iron Broken City yet."

"It's not just Broken Iron City that has Chu soldiers." Han Ruzi couldn't see clearly, but a small hope rose in his heart.
