Chapter 155 Sword and Shield

Wang Lingshang was also considered an old man. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. He immediately pushed away the corpse on his body, turned around and waved the knife, and just blocked the attacking sword. If he took a step further, he would be penetrated by a sword.

"You are not dead!" Wang Lingshang was shocked.

"I'm lucky." Du Chuanyun said and stabbed two swords in a row.

The two fought on the edge of the rocks. Du Chuanyun had a knife, but he used a short sword that he was better at. He relied on his legs to keep stabbing the enemy. Wang Lingshang's sword technique was heavy and protected the vital points without any leakage. When he occasionally counterattacked, Du Chuanyun did not dare to take it head-on.

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, but suddenly he heard a "Oh" sound from behind him. He heard that it was the voice of Jue Hou, but he didn't dare to be careless. He turned around and glanced at him, and almost screamed.

His dead companion Gu Juren looked dull and rushed towards him.

In just a moment of shock, Wang Lingshang immediately realized that Gu Juren was pushed by Juehou. At the same moment, Du Chuanyun stabbed another sword, Wang Lingshang waved his sword to block it, and slapped the corpse with his other hand.

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

Wang Lingshang roared, raised his sword and slashed at Juehou behind the corpse. Another coolness was found under his brim. This time it was fatal injury. He let out his last breath, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground, and the person fell down.

Du Chuanyun withdrew his sword and walked around Juehou, "Hey, okay, he's dead."

Then Han Ruzi slowly pulled out the knife and took two steps back, "Die?"

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

"I'm not afraid!" Han Ruzi said with a slight anger.

"It's up to you. Your hand is quite strong. It would be even better if I practice with my grandfather for another year or two."

"Yes." Han Ruzi squeezed out a smile, knowing in her heart where this little strength came from.

Several soldiers ran over the mountainside and were shocked when they saw three corpses, "What's going on? Are there any Huns?"

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

The soldiers who arrived were shocked and angry. They were also fishermen from Guaizi Lake. They raised their knives and chopped the guards' bodies a few times to vent their anger. Then they carried their companions' bodies down, and Han Ruzi and Du Chuanyun followed.

"How are the Huns behind the mountain?" Han Ruzi asked.

"It's not easy to climb on the cliff, so two Huns came up. I killed one, and the other fell down by myself. I almost fell down. I took my life back. As soon as I climbed up, I heard them discussing how to kill you. I'm so sorry. I chose them as guards."

"It has nothing to do with you, I'm the one who puts everyone in danger."

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

Han Ruzi was stunned. He didn't know why. He had only one idea at that time, and he had to try his best to kill Wang Lingshang. He forgot to call someone to help, "Oh no, I should leave a living place. I haven't figured out who was selling 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 were moving again, and many people were riding horses and shouting constantly, as if they were going to launch a larger-scale attack.

Han Ruzi looked into the distance, and the night was endless, and they were already desperate.

Fang Daye saw the body and didn't care at all. He asked Du Chuanyun directly: "Is there a way?"

"There is a cliff behind it. Unless we are all monkeys, it will be a life of death, no, ninety-nine lives."

"Yes." Fang Daye was never excited and was not depressed at this time. "There were not many arrows, so I had to leave some for use during the day. When the Huns attacked again, we had to fight for one hand, put down all the bows and arrows, and pick up the sword and shield."

Everyone should have put down their bows and arrows, and some people moved them to a higher place, while others lined up at the mountainside. The Huns had already arrived at the foot of the mountain and were moving the casualties and shields and weapons all over the ground.

Han Ruzi and Du Chuanyun also joined the team, and Fang Daye walked over and said, "You 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, please say something."

Han Ruzi walked to the front of the queue and looked at the busy Xiongnu people first. He turned around to face the Chu army he brought. He had a lot of things in his heart and felt bored when he spoke. Does the words mean nothing? Is it meaningless? Is it tempting? All promises are too far away; threatening? He couldn't think of anything more terrifying than the Huns in front of him; do he be loyal to the king and defend the country? The soldiers in the team were unwilling to join the army to fight against the Huns from the beginning. The people in the Jianghu just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill the Jue Hou. Those real soldiers probably also acted on orders.

Han Ruzi shouted: "Life and die together."

Then he turned around, holding the knife in both hands, feeling ashamed of his failure to say more inspiring words.

"Life and die together!" A squeal sound suddenly sounded behind him.

Han Ruzi felt a little relieved and was a little excited. Yes, someone wanted to kill him, but someone 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, without using a shield, holding a banner in one hand and a knife in the other.

The Huns cleaned up the battlefield, and one person rode a horse to the foot of the mountain and whispered loudly: "For one last chance, the surrender will be spared from death."

Han Ruzi wanted to remind everyone that the Huns were lying, and the first time they persuaded them was "poor" to avoid death, but now they have become directly avoiding death, without any sincerity.

A crisp curse rang behind him, and Du Chuanyun answered the Huns' persuasion to surrender first.

The man turned his horse and left. A group of Hun soldiers lined up, with one hand shield and one hand sword. It was exactly the same as the Chu soldiers' configuration, except that there were more people, at least three hundred people standing in more than a dozen rows and slowly walking towards the mountain.

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

The Huns walked and stopped, not because they were afraid, but because they had to keep their formation neatly. This was a well-trained army, which was very similar to the Chu army, and the armor on them was even thicker.

As they get closer and closer, under the moonlight, the animal head pattern on the shield looks particularly ferocious.

Han Ruzi had a dry mouth and felt in a trance that there seemed to be no one behind him, and he was facing groups of enemies alone.

The Chu army did not shoot arrows, and the Huns began to speed up, put down their shields slightly, and raised the knife in their hands high.

Han Ruzi could no longer bear the silence before the war, and suddenly roared loudly, trying to release the turbid air and fear in her body together.

The roar was a little immature, but he didn't care and almost involuntarily rushed towards the Huns. He was afraid, very scared. The more he did this, the more he had to go forward to fight, and he had to use the most real fear to suppress the illusory fear when he was still in place.

After a while, the roars were connected, 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 followed him like arrows.

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

But Fang Daye blocked the front like a rolling boulder, making it impossible for him to surpass.

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

There was finally a gap in front of Han Ruzi. He did not see the Huns' faces, but only saw the other party's shield, so he waved his knife and slashed them out, and the other party also slashed.

The steel knife slashed on the lacquered wooden shield, making a dull sound. Han Ruzi's left arm numb and almost fell backwards. Someone pushed it forward, and at the same time, he tried his best to push the shield so that the other party could not draw the sword immediately. He tried his best to pull out the knife from the other party's shield and cut it down again.

Who is chopping? Which part is chopping? It doesn’t matter at all, just cut the knife out.

The pressure on the shield disappeared, and Han Ruzi continued to rush forward, as if stepping on someone under her feet.

The battle lasted for a while, and suddenly Fang Daye's voice sounded: "Get back! Go back!"

Han Ruzi had already entered a state of fighting, and was so excited that she could not stop at all. She could finally distinguish between the enemy and us. She found that Fang Daye was blocking the way, and was about to ask a question, but was picked up by Fang Daye in the middle.

Fang Daye held a banner in his left hand and a knife in his right hand. He clamped the general of Zhenbei under his arm, and climbed up the mountain with great strides.

Han Ruzi struggled for a few times and suddenly saw the reason for the retreat.

The Huns were shooting archery.

A team of Hun cavalry followed the sword and shield infantry up the mountain, shooting dozens of steps away, regardless of the enemy.

The arrows fell like rain, and a large number of soldiers fell down and wailed. Han Ruzi was not caught in the arrow. It was purely luck and Fang Dalai's quick reaction.

The Chu army retreated to a higher place and escaped the Huns' range.

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

The Huns stopped shooting archery, and their swords and shields were also seriously injured and killed. The survivors wanted to retreat but were forced back without running far. This time they would have an absolute advantage and just use a knife to kill the wounded.

"Go and help!" Han Ruzi said loudly.

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

"I said, 'Life 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 the general should do, don't let us down."

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

Han Ruzi threw down 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, "Does the general plan to wait for the Huns to kill all the Chu soldiers?"

The Huns' sword and shield soldiers have returned to the battlefield and are looking for the Chu soldiers. They have to cut a few times regardless of life or death. They can quickly clear the battlefield and then continue to attack forward.

Han Ruzi suddenly drew an arrow and pointed it at the Huns on the mountainside, then raised his arms slightly.

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

All twenty or thirty Chu soldiers were ready to shoot.

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

In the morning light, the Huns' army clearly appeared in front of them. Behind their obliquely, an army was coming quickly, raising dust all over the sky.

"Impossible." Fang Daye did not put down his bow and arrow, "They have not arrived in the Broken Iron City at this time."

"It's not just the broken iron city that has Chu soldiers." Han Ruzi didn't see clearly, but a small sense of hope arose in her heart. (To be continued.)
