Chapter 227 The General's Last Words
As the city gate opened, several generals from the north wing also rushed up, with the first to bear the brunt of the attack being the King of the North.
The Northern King rushed towards General Wei with a sharp sword in his hand...
General Wei hurriedly held his sword to confront him, but since he was the King of the North, he must be the most powerful warrior in the North Wing. General Wei was no match for him at all. After dozens of moves, he was slashed by a sword. Fortunately, he took a few steps back in time. In addition, Fang Zhiyi and Lu Zhan, who were not far away, got rid of the enemies around them and came to support him, barely blocking the King of the North's killing move.
Seeing this, General Pei knew that the battle was lost, so he fought his way towards the Northern King while giving orders.
"Captain Liu, you must leave immediately and lead the soldiers in the rear to escort the people of Caozi Village back."
Then he also fought with the Northern King.
Captain Liu didn't want to leave either. He was just fighting to the death, so why would he be afraid of death? However, military orders were as strong as mountains, and the people needed protection. He quickly broke through the encirclement under the escort of the soldiers and led the people to evacuate.
But the King of the North also brought with him capable generals. Soon, several generals rushed up and separated General Pei and others, one against each other.
General Pei and the Northern King only fought for more than twenty moves before his arms were cut. Li Xiao and his companions wanted to help but were entangled by other enemies and the battle situation became increasingly disadvantageous.
Until General Pei was stabbed in the abdomen again, he fell to the ground and put his hand to cover the wound on his abdomen, but blood gushed out of the wound and his hand could not stop it at all. In an instant, his whole hand was covered with blood, and then the bright red blood flowed to the ground, burning like a flame, the pain and sadness of this war.
The Northern King stepped towards General Pei step by step.
"I guess you must be General Pei. Of all you wimps in the northwest, you're the only one who can stand up to me with so many moves. You're a real man. Even after such a disastrous defeat, you don't even think of running away. But you're destined to die by my sword today..."
There was no fear in General Pei's eyes. He knew since the day he entered the barracks that the best fate for a general was to die on the battlefield. Unfortunately, he still failed to defend the northwest.
Song Huaian, who was fighting against a general from the North Wing, finally won a narrow victory and rushed over to catch the big knife that was chopped towards General Pei.
"General Pei, let's go..."
At this time, General Pei's guards also fought desperately and rushed over to protect General Pei.
Li Xiao finally broke free from the enemy and rushed over to help General Pei up.
"General, go ahead. As long as there are green mountains, there will be no shortage of firewood."
General Pei was about to say something, but blood gushed out of his mouth.
General Wei gave the order directly.
"Li Xiao, take General Pei away. This is an order."
Then he gave another order.
"All soldiers, listen up! Protect General Pei and leave."
Li Xiao didn't care whether General Pei was willing to leave or not, he just carried him and retreated. Fang Zhiyi and Lu Zhan rushed over tacitly to clear the way for them.
General Pei knew that he didn't have much time left, so he spoke weakly.
"Li Xiao, I want to see Master Jun. I want to see him."
Song Huaian and some soldiers tried their best to stop the Northern King.
General Wei also joined the battle.
"Song Huaian, you leave too."
Song Huaian continued to fight with the Northern King.
"If anyone wants to leave, it should be you. I, Song Huaian, am not afraid of death."
The two of them blocked the Northern King's sword at the same time. Having been together in the northwest for so many years, they naturally understood that neither of them could retreat.
More and more soldiers from the northwest died, and the city walls were basically occupied.
General Wei spoke as he tried to find the Northern King's weakness.
"Song Huaian, although you are a few years younger, you are smart. Go ahead. We need someone to handle the aftermath. Go find help and ask the nearest state to send troops."
Before Song Huaian could say anything, General Wei had already spotted the Northern King's weakness and struck him with a sword.
"Song Huaian, the Northwest is in your hands. Let's go..."
The King of the North did not expect that this man would actually attack his lower body. He was not careful and his calf was scratched. Although it was only a minor injury, he felt that his dignity was challenged, so he knocked the sword out of Wei Jin's hand with a knife.
Although the danger was extremely great, Wei Jin did not hide. Instead, he knelt forward and hugged the King of the North's feet.
"Song Huaian, let's go and ask for reinforcements."
Song Huaian's eyes were as big as copper bells, and a tremendous anger seemed to burst out.
"General Wei..."
Wei Jin had been stabbed on the back, and he was holding the Northern King's feet tightly with both hands.
"Let's go and ask for reinforcements..."
Song Huaian also knew that without asking for reinforcements, the entire northwest would be finished. In the end, he gritted his teeth and, under the escort of the remaining soldiers in the northwest, fought his way out of the siege and headed towards the provincial capital.
And at this time.
Jun Moye, who received the news of the defeat, was riding his horse at full speed towards the border city wall.
“Gee…Gee…”
At the same time, Li Xiao also rushed along with the seriously injured General Pei. General Pei's injuries were simply bandaged, and if he wanted to survive, he had to get medical treatment as soon as possible.
When he saw a horse coming from the front, Li Xiao had to stop the horse quickly.
"Whoa."
Jun Moye also stopped his horse.
When he saw that the person coming was Jun Moye, Li Xiao spoke anxiously.
"Sir, General Pei is dying."
Jun Moye hurriedly dismounted and helped General Pei off Li Xiao's horse. "Are we still too late?" he asked anxiously.
"General Pei, General Pei..."
While shouting, he opened the water bag and poured the spiritual spring water into General Pei's mouth.
"Tao Zhiwen, take off General Pei's clothes."
After Jun Moye gave General Pei a few sips of the spiritual spring water, he poured the spiritual spring water on his wound. Tao Zhiwen also took out the golden wound medicine and poured it on General Pei's wound.
Qing Gu saw that Li Xiao also had some wounds on his body, so he took out some medicine and bandaged him.
General Pei was fed with spiritual spring water, and as he had been thinking about meeting Jun Moye, he had been holding his breath. At this moment, he woke up slowly as if he had a last burst of light.
"Master Jun, I finally have a chance to see you."
Jun Moye spoke hurriedly.
"General Pei, hold on a moment. I'll take you to see a doctor."
General Pei stretched out his hand and shook his head weakly.
"Master Jun, don't waste your energy. I have something important to entrust to you."
Then he reached out and searched his chest with great effort, and Jun Moye hurriedly helped him tear off his clothes.
"General Pei, what are you looking for?"
General Pei took out a tiger talisman with great effort.
"Master Jun, this is for you. I have no use for it. The city tower has been lost, and I don't know how many people from Caozi Village have evacuated. The soldiers guarding the tower have basically died in the battle. There are not many soldiers left in the Northwest Camp. Master Jun, please, I will apologize to the late emperor when I go down."
Jun Moye's eyes turned red.
"General Pei, please hold on a little longer..."
General Pei placed the tiger talisman in his palm.
"Master Jun, the northern wing is coming at us with great force. Their soldiers outnumber us by at least several times. If we can't hold on, let the people evacuate first. Master Jun, please..."
There was no reason for Jun Moye to refuse at this time, as General Pei was already on his deathbed.
"General Pei, please rest assured. As long as I, Jun Moye, am alive, I will live and die with the Northwest."
