My vicious dog, my horse, I can do whatever I want with it
Chapter 64: Using the body as a shield, Shi Potian
But there is a saying that goes, even a rabbit bites when it is angry.
Although half of the troops assembled in Nankang are urgently recruited civilians for menial tasks and are not a strong enough force, those who know how to use them can still bite off a piece of your flesh.
It would be fine if the prince just sat on the podium, and the soldiers under his command would line up to fight the enemy. Just looking at the military flags would be enough to resist the enemy in Nankang. However, the prince saw that our soldiers were so brave when he saw the battle situation, so he thought he could easily defeat Nankang.
He immediately drew his sword and said, "I will go to war on your behalf. I must let Nankang see the bravery of our Wu country!"
The prince wanted to go to the battlefield himself, but Zong Yanhongjing hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness! The battle is dangerous and the swords are merciless. Your Highness should get on the chariot and command the battle."
"Humph!" He Yeliang said loudly: "All the soldiers are fighting bravely in the front, how can I not set an example!"
"Follow me into the army and take the enemy general's head!" He Yeliang raised his arm and shouted, and asked people to bring war horses and rushed to the battlefield.
"I will go with you, brother!" King Xuan would not miss this opportunity, and he rushed out immediately.
Zong Yanhongjing's temples were throbbing, and he gritted his teeth and called Zong Yanfeiyi: "Immediately dispatch elite troops to protect him! Make sure His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is safe!"
The military formation was forcibly changed, almost surrounding He Yeliang like an iron barrel, firmly protecting him in the middle. Naturally, the enemy noticed the change at a glance.
Nankang's commander Guo Chengye looked intently and saw He Yeliang's brand new light golden armor. He was immediately shocked and said, "The one rushing out of the battle formation must be the crown prince of Wu! He is leading the troops to fight the enemy in person on the battlefield this time!"
"Come here! Gather all the troops and make sure to capture him!"
"There is still a chance for our army to turn around!"
The battle situation always changes rapidly. When Nankang made some unusual movements, Zong Yanhongjing saw its purpose and calmly commanded the right wing to obstruct it, thus forcing Nankang to retreat.
Under the complete suppression of military force, even if there were any unusual movements in Nankang, they would not be able to reach He Yeliang for a while.
However, no one expected that He Yeliang was protected by our elite soldiers and could not kill the enemy several times. In anger, he suddenly slapped his horse with his sword, jumped out of the protection circle, rushed into the enemy, and knocked down the soldiers in front of his horse with two swords, and his face showed joy instantly.
He Yeliang was extremely excited and raised his arms and shouted, "Soldiers! Follow me to conquer Nankang!"
"Your Highness--!" Zong Yanfeiyi watched He Yeliang being surrounded in an instant without knowing it, and immediately roared and overturned the Nankang soldiers who were rushing over, trying to get closer to He Yeliang.
"Kill!" He Yeliang killed with great pleasure, feeling that the Nankang soldiers were like killing chickens. Little did he know that those rushing over were just Nankang servants who made up the numbers. They had no fighting power and were just acting as personal shields.
Zong Yanfeiyi watched He Yeliang like a rat on the hook, going deeper and deeper into the enemy's camp, and he felt his hands and feet go cold.
But King Xuan seemed to have deliberately created this situation. He looked anxious and shouting, but he did not move forward. He was very cautious and placed himself under the protection of our elite soldiers. He would never put himself in danger.
By the time He Yeliang realized something was wrong, it was already too late.
The soldier in front of the horse, who could be killed at will, suddenly raised his spear and stabbed the horse's neck. The horse neighed in pain and threw He Yeliang off its back.
He Yeliang rolled on the ground in a panic, and then he saw the Nankang soldiers coming up with swords and knives. He Yeliang waved his sword in fear and shouted, "Someone come! Protect the emperor!"
Unexpectedly, after shouting for a long time, no one came. He turned around and was shocked to find that he was surrounded. The Nankang soldiers who surrounded him were all wearing heavy armor. They were Nankang's elite soldiers!
He Yeliang yelled "Oh no!" and clenched his teeth, swinging his sword to kill. However, as a prince, how could He Yeliang be as brave as a military general? Although he had martial arts skills, he was in a very miserable state after being besieged for a while, and even the arm holding the sword felt sore.
Just when He Yeliang was in despair, he suddenly saw a black long knife flying towards him. The long knife was like a boomerang, reaping the lives of the two men in an instant.
He Yeliang was startled and turned his head sharply to look.
Then they saw Zong Yanli riding a horse and jumping into the encirclement. Riding high on his warhorse, Zong Yanli, wearing heavy armor and covered with iron plate, and holding a sword to kill the enemy, his ferocious posture was intimidating. The elite soldiers of Nankang, who He Yeliang thought were difficult to resist just now, actually retreated again and again in front of Zong Yanli.
For the first time, He Yeliang felt a deep sense of terror. Before he could even talk to Zong Yanli, he saw Zong Yanli suddenly reach out and grab his chest.
The next second, He Yeliang felt himself suddenly lifted into the air and was thrown onto the horse's back by Zong Yanli with great force!
He Yeliang's heart almost jumped out of his chest and he was nearly speechless with shock. He never knew that there would be a day when he would feel so light?
Om-!
An overwhelming rain of arrows was coming. Nankang was obviously making a desperate attempt to keep He Yeliang. How could he be allowed to escape so easily since he was already trapped in a cage!
In a trance, He Yeliang seemed to see a blood mist appearing before his eyes. He was unexpectedly protected tightly under the sword light and rain of arrows. He Yeliang wanted to break free from Zong Yanli's restraints to help him, but when he just moved, he suddenly felt his horse's back fall back.
When He Yeliang was thrown off the horse again, Zong Yanli pushed him back with all his strength: "Fourth Uncle, take the prince away first——!"
He Yeliang once again returned to the protection circle, but Zong Yanli was trapped in the formation because of saving him.
"General! Let me go!" Shi Potian, who was watching the scene from a distance, wiped his face suddenly, turned around and looked at Peng Deqing.
"Nankang has already formed a cavalry formation. You will die if you go there!" Peng Deqing rejected the question coldly.
"General!" Shi Potian suddenly knelt in front of Peng Deqing and said, "I have received Zong Yanli's life-saving grace. How dare I be ungrateful? I beg you to allow me to go and support you!"
"You..." Peng Deqing's heart trembled. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Jin Da standing on the side also kneeling down and said, "General, please allow me to do so!"
He opened his mouth, his expression extremely complicated.
I don't know whether he was angry that his personal guards treated Zong Yanli like this, or he was amazed that his personal guards were so loyal and brave and had deep feelings for each other.
Peng Deqing closed his eyes and said, "Forget it, you two can go."
"This general will be behind you two to support us!" Peng Deqing raised his hand and issued a military order.
Shi Potian and Jin Da showed joy on their faces, responded loudly, and rushed out of the battle formation with swords in hand.
Zong Yanli, trapped in the enemy's camp, suddenly heard a shout: "Zong Yanli! I'm here to help you!"
Zong Yanli wiped the blood off the long sword casually, turned around and saw Shi Potian holding a battle axe, using brute force to break through a gap and kill into the formation.
Zong Yanli's eyes were slightly shocked. He probably didn't expect Shi Potian to show up at this time. He panted a little heavily and said, "Nankang has deployed all its troops to surround and kill you. What are you doing here?"
"Of course I'm here to steal your military merits, hahaha!" Shi Potian and Zong Yanli stood back to back, staring coldly at the Nankang cavalry formation that was surrounding them. He exhaled and said, "When the Pingnan Camp was trapped, you risked your life to save me."
"Today you are trapped in the military formation, how can I sit back and watch?"
"If I am buried here today, it will not be in vain! Let's fight our way out!"
Shi Potian's words shocked Zong Yanli greatly. He then suddenly clenched the long sword in his hand, looked forward and said with a smile: "Okay, let's just kill our way out."
Zong Yanfei, who was on the periphery, almost dragged the prince back to the army. Zong Yanhongjing was holding back his anger and ordered hastily: "Go and disperse the Nankang cavalry formation quickly. Once the cavalry formation is formed, we will have no hope of rescue!"
The so-called cavalry formation is that thousands of cavalrymen are running around, trapping the people in the formation, making it difficult for the infantry to advance, and the rain of arrows cannot hit them, and they cannot be easily dispersed.
Those trapped in the army were either trampled to death by thousands of cavalry, or were trapped without help and captured.
When two armies face each other, this kind of military formation is used only to surround and kill one person.
And he is just a general of a minor title, really...
Zong Yanhongjing didn't know what to say, he was the commander-in-chief of the army!
No matter how brave Zong Yanli was, it was impossible for him to break out of the army formation on his own two legs after a series of fierce battles with his horse being killed.
He Yeliang's face turned pale as he looked at the Nankang army formation that was gradually taking shape. If he was trapped in it this time, he would probably be killed. At the same time, Zong Yanli and Shi Potian were still trying to save themselves and break out of the encirclement.
He Yeliang didn't expect that Nankang, whom he thought was "powerless", but Nankang, which was in his pocket, still had a fighting power that should not be underestimated.
Zong Yanli fought like a trapped beast. In the fierce battle, the swinging sword hit the visor on her face. The iron visor was suddenly blown off, and a blood mark appeared on the side of her cheek. The back of the armor was broken, and the blood stains on the black armor made it impossible to tell who was the enemy and who was me.
"Zong Yanli! Step on my shoulders and get out!" Shi Potian seemed to have realized that the cavalry formation had already taken shape. If they stopped here, neither of them could get out. So he gritted his teeth and shouted, and actually used the heart-protecting mirror to block the spear that was coming at him.
"Shi Potian, you can't do that!" Zong Yanli grabbed Shi Potian's shoulders and pulled him back.
"Go!" Shi Potian threw away his battle axe and grabbed the countless spears that were stabbing at him. He used his body as a shield to resist the attack. He took a step forward with all his strength, allowing the spears to pierce the breastplate, penetrate the armor and pierce into his flesh.
"It's a pity that I can't serve under you, Zong Yanli! Lead us with our faith! Fight!"
"Kill-get-out!!!"
The brute force that Shi Potian unleashed at that moment was so terrifying that he actually overturned his warhorse with such force.
The scene before him seemed to overlap with his previous life, as Shi Potian used his body as a shield to block thousands of troops.
Zong Yanli's eyes turned red instantly. He waved the long sword in his hand with red eyes, stepped on Shi Potian's shoulder, jumped up and cut down the cavalry on horseback, sat on the warhorse, turned around and swept across to cooperate with the heavy armored infantry outside to break the army formation.
Zong Yanli turned around, took the long sword, handed the handle to Shi Potian and shouted, "Come! I'll take you out!"
Shi Potian raised his eyes to look at him, moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just smiled at her weakly.
"Shi Potian--!" Zong Yanli was trembling physically and mentally as she saw the cavalry's spear in the rear pierce Shi Potian's chest. Shi Potian, who was standing in front of her, did not move at all, using his last bit of strength to block the cavalry's siege.
The body turns into a shield and is submerged in the enemy's formation.
Before Zong Yanli could even roar in anger, she saw the Nankang archers lined up, and tens of thousands of arrows rained down at her. Jin Da swung the sword in his hand so tightly that it was impenetrable, and he suddenly fell to the ground with arrows in his knees.
Zong Yanli rushed over, pulled him behind him, and was suddenly hit by an arrow in the back.
At this moment, Zong Yanli finally felt what it meant to be isolated and helpless. A fishy and sweet taste rose in her throat, and she swallowed it again and again.
She desperately grabbed Jinda and dragged him back, rolling in the rain of arrows until the heavy soldiers of the Ghost Camp broke through the encirclement and set up shields in front of her.
Zong Yanli was able to take a breath just now. From beginning to end, she never let go of Jinda, as if she was holding on to a glimmer of hope that belonged to "herself".
"We still lost..." Guo Chengye watched the army formation being dispersed and Zong Yanli being protected behind the shield by the heavy soldiers of the Ghost Camp. He sat dejectedly on the podium, looking up at the sky with a feeling of despair and helplessness that the game was over.
"Kill!" Seeing Zong Yanli escape from trouble, Zong Yanhongjing ordered an attack almost immediately.
Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses charged out, and this time they were determined to strangle the Nankang army.
Guo Chengye refused to surrender and fought fiercely with the Wu State with the remaining troops for two days and two nights. In the end, his entire army was wiped out and he suffered a tragic defeat. His head was hung on the flag of the Wu State army!
Zong Yanli was seriously injured and on the verge of death. The black sword was completely covered in blood, which was so sticky that it almost drowned her. Jin Da, who was held tightly by her... had already died.
Zong Yanfeiyi tried to pry Zong Yanli's hands open, but she was holding Jinda's armor tightly and refused to let go. Zong Yanfeiyi couldn't bear to turn his head away when watching this scene. Peng Deqing stepped forward and personally untied Jinda's armor and collected Jinda's body.
Zong Yanli was carried into the military tent. When the military doctor arrived, he looked like a bloody man lying on the bed and had no idea where to start.
This……
Is this really alive?
The military doctor was a little panicked. His first reaction was to feel Zong Yanli's pulse. After confirming that he was alive, he breathed a sigh of relief and ordered, "Take off his armor."
As the military doctor spoke, he took Zong Yanli's hand to feel his pulse. Unexpectedly, after pinching his wrist and feeling his pulse for a moment, his facial expression kept changing. Finally, he withdrew his hand in self-doubt, turned around and took Zong Yanli's other hand to feel his pulse again.
"Don't! Don't take it off!" The military doctor called out to the helper who was helping to take off the armor in panic. His face was extremely panicked and strange. He turned to Zong Yanfeiyi and said, "Go and get the general!"
“???” Zong Yanfeiyi staggered and his face turned pale in an instant.
What does it mean?
Is it really impossible to save the situation?!
Zong Yanfeiyi almost burst into tears, and almost held his breath as he rushed out of the tent, found Zong Yanhongjing, stared at him with red eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Third brother...you should go see Ali."
Zong Yanhongjing looked at Zong Yanfeiyi's expression, stood up suddenly, his lips trembled twice, and his steps seemed to weaken a little. He went to the military tent in a panic, and saw the military doctor standing aside with his hands folded, without moving, while Zong Yanli was still lying on the bed covered in blood as when he was carried back.
