Chapter 260 Is he late?
Su Qingwan was already exhausted, and every time she swung the sword it seemed as if she had used up all her strength, but she relied on her tenacious belief and continued to fight bravely on the bloody battlefield.
She grabbed the morning breeze beside her, her voice was a little hoarse due to fatigue, but it was full of unquestionable determination: "Capture the leader first. You, Luzhu and Qingyun don't have to worry about me. Go all out to kill General Zhuge!"
"Yes!" Chen Feng nodded heavily in response. Chen Feng was originally a spy, very agile, and good at assassination. At this time, General Zhuge was focused on how to kill Su Qingwan, so he would relax his guard against Chen Feng, Qingyun, and Luzhu, which undoubtedly gave them a great opportunity to assassinate General Zhuge.
Although General Zhuge's formation was torn to pieces by the Huainan Light Cavalry, he was a veteran of the battlefield after all, and he quickly regrouped his troops. He rode on his horse with a stern look on his face, and ordered loudly: "All soldiers, listen to my order. Whoever can take the life of the Princess of Huainan will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold and promoted to a higher position!" For ordinary soldiers, making such a great contribution on the battlefield is a great opportunity to rise to the top in one step. General Zhuge's order seemed to ignite the fire of greed in the hearts of the soldiers. Like a surging tide, they rushed towards Su Qingwan regardless of everything. Everyone was staring at her head, trying to exchange it for wealth and glory.
Chen Feng and Qing Yun retreated quickly. Chen Feng was worried about Su Qing Wan, so he left Lu Zhu to protect her, and took Qing Yun with him, rushing towards the direction of General Zhuge, ready to assassinate him. At this time, everyone on the battlefield was fighting with all their might, trying to break through the siege.
However, the terrain in this area is flat and there is no natural barrier to defend. The Huainan Army can only rely on their flesh and blood to resist the fierce attack of the enemy.
General Zhuge held a spear in his hand, his warhorse neighing as he charged towards Su Qingwan with great momentum.
In his opinion, if Su Qingwan could be killed, the entire Huainan Army would be in chaos, and Huainan City would be under his control. There were only a few thousand people left in the Huainan Army, and they were surrounded by him, so killing Su Qingwan was a piece of cake.
When he thought about the impending victory, General Zhuge felt an irrepressible excitement in his heart.
Su Qingwan held both swords tightly in both hands and rushed forward to meet General Zhuge's spear.
She turned her wrist flexibly, found the right moment, and stabbed General Zhuge's horse with a sword. The horse felt pain and raised its front hooves high, and General Zhuge had to abandon the horse and fall to the ground.
Seeing this, the Xilin soldiers nearby swarmed up and surrounded Su Qingwan, attacking her with deadly moves like raindrops. Su Qingwan showed no fear, and shot left and right, with the long sword in her hand slashing across the enemy's throat like lightning. In the fierce battle, her light armor had long been soaked in blood, like a god of war walking out of a pool of blood.
Suddenly, Lu Zhu shouted anxiously: "Princess, watch your back!"
Lu Zhu was being held tightly by two Xilin soldiers and could not get away to rescue them. A Xilin general was seen holding a spear and stabbing Su Qingwan viciously.
Su Qingwan was faced with many enemies, and had no time to turn around and defend. At the critical moment, Zhang Huaining came like a black lightning. She did not hesitate to use her body to block the fatal shot for Su Qingwan. The spear pierced straight into Zhang Huaining's shoulder, and blood gushed out instantly.
Seeing this, Lu Zhu fought hard to kill the enemies around him, and quickly ran to Zhang Huaining's side. With a swing of the long sword in his hand, he cut off the general's arm. Zhang Huaining gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, and pulled out the spear. The wound was bleeding profusely, and there was no time to bandage it. Waves of enemies came again, as if they were endless and could not be killed. "Huaining, how are you?"
Su Qingwan turned around and only had time to ask a quick question.
"It's just a minor injury, don't worry, Princess!"
Zhang Huaining pretended to be calm and answered. But in fact, this was not a flesh wound. The spear almost penetrated her shoulder, and the wound was so deep that the bone was visible. But Zhang Huaining knew in his heart that Su Qingwan must not die. Once Su Qingwan died in the battle, the battle would be completely lost. Although they all knew that the chances of winning this decisive battle were extremely small, as long as they had a breath left, they had to hold on to the last moment.
On the battlefield, the two armies were fighting fiercely, the situation was chaotic, and there was no time to talk too much. The flashing of swords and sabers, and deadly dangers were everywhere.
Blood continued to flow from Su Qingwan's body. She and the soldiers around her were already in a desperate situation. Su Qingwan was injured in many places, including two gunshot wounds, one sword wound, and one penetrating wound. Blood kept flowing out. Due to excessive blood loss, her eyes began to blacken and her consciousness gradually blurred.
"Girl..." Lu Zhu held the sword in one hand to resist the enemy, and held Su Qingwan tightly with the other hand. The soldiers around Su Qingwan fell one after another. They used their flesh and blood to build a last line of defense for Su Qingwan, fighting desperately to resist the enemy's swords for her.
General Zhuge looked at the scene in front of him and laughed triumphantly. He felt that he had already won. He pointed his spear at Su Qingwan and shouted, "The trapped beast is still fighting. You have no power to resist. Kill them and take the county master's head!"
"Yes!" The Xilin soldiers shouted in unison. Their voices were loud and murderous. All of them pounced towards Su Qingwan like hungry wolves.
At this critical moment, a cold light flashed, and a dart shot towards General Zhuge like a meteor.
General Zhuge reacted very quickly and quickly turned his head to avoid it. Chen Feng saw that the dart had missed the target and thought to himself that he had lost the best opportunity to assassinate General Zhuge. He and Qingyun were too far away from General Zhuge, and there were countless Xilin soldiers between them. It was not easy to break through the siege.
Chen Feng and Qing Yun looked at each other, understood each other, and nodded. Qing Yun spread her hands, Chen Feng stepped on her palms, and jumped hard, his body like an arrow, rushing towards General Zhuge.
Seeing this, the Xilin soldiers were horrified and shouted, "General, be careful!"
Zhang San, who was on the other side of the battlefield, saw this scene and also roared, throwing the spear in his hand towards Chen Feng. Chen Feng caught the spear accurately in the air, and then stabbed General Zhuge with a thunderous force. General Zhuge and the soldiers around him raised their spears to block. The spears collided in the air, sparks flew everywhere. General Zhuge laughed while blocking, "You ignorant boy, you don't know your own strength..."
However, before he finished speaking, his face suddenly froze. A flash of cold light appeared before his eyes, and the short knife in Chen Feng's sleeve stretched out like a venomous snake, instantly slashing his neck. General Zhuge's eyes widened in horror, and he subconsciously reached out to cover his neck, blood gushing out from between his fingers. He stood there stiffly, his body swaying.
Chen Feng's move was just a feint, the real killer move was the short knife in his sleeve. But he was too close to General Zhuge, and while he successfully killed General Zhuge, he could not escape the enemy's attack. Seeing this, the Xilin soldiers stabbed Chen Feng with their spears. Countless spears instantly pierced Chen Feng's body. The broken blade in Chen Feng's hand fell to the ground with a clang, and his body slowly fell down, with blood spreading on the ground. "Princess... I did it!"
Chen Feng used up his last bit of strength and shouted in the direction of Su Qingwan.
Qingyun witnessed this scene and was heartbroken. She fought hard and tears welled up in her eyes. In fact, when Chenfeng decided to assassinate General Zhuge, they were ready to exchange their lives for his, knowing that Chenfeng would die. Qingyun was filled with grief and anger, and shouted: "General Zhuge is dead, kill them all and avenge the soldiers!"
As soon as General Zhuge died, the Xilin soldiers were thrown into chaos. This border army had always been centered around General Zhuge. As soon as he died, the formation of the entire army collapsed instantly, and the soldiers fell into chaos and panic.
However, a young general in the Xilin army reacted quickly. He shouted loudly: "The Princess of Huainan is also dead. Soldiers, don't panic, avenge the general!"
He managed to stabilize some of the troops' morale in the chaos. At this time, Su Qingwan had already fallen in a pool of blood, dying. Lu Zhu knelt in front of her, stabbed in many places, and her clothes were stained red with blood, but she still protected Su Qingwan tightly, letting the enemy's sword fall mercilessly on her delicate body.
Qingyun turned around and saw this tragic scene. His eyes instantly became bloodshot and almost burst open: "Princess, Luzhu..."
On the battlefield, everyone rushed towards the direction where Su Qingwan was. When General Xiao Ning saw this scene, he felt cold all over. The battle situation, which had just been slightly reversed due to the death of General Zhuge, became chaotic again.
At this critical moment, a sudden earth-shaking sound of horse hooves came from the direction of the city gate. A Huainan Army battle flag fluttered high in the night wind, extremely eye-catching.
The dark cavalry rushed towards the Xilin military camp like a black tide. The long spears in their hands flashed coldly under the light of the fire.
Lu Jing was dressed in black armor, riding a warhorse majestically, and charging into the battlefield like a god of war in the firelight.
"It's the Regent..." General Xiao Ning's voice was so excited that it changed its tone. He shouted at the top of his voice, "It's the Regent. Reinforcements are coming, brothers, reinforcements are coming!"
The troops from Zhongzhou arrived one day and one night in advance. This was undoubtedly the most exciting news on the battlefield at the moment. Although the generals on the border of Xilin had never heard of Lu Jing's name, they knew that he was the regent of Dayuan and was no ordinary person. They were trying to appease the panicked soldiers and prepare to organize a counterattack, but suddenly saw Lu Nianqing beside Lu Jing.
Lu Nianqing was wearing light armor and no helmet, revealing a young but handsome face. That face was almost exactly the same as that of the Prince of Huainan. All the veterans of Xilin who had seen the Prince of Huainan in the past were terrified when they saw Lu Nianqing.
The former prince of Huainan, at the age of fifteen, was able to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to raid the Xilin military camp, setting a brilliant record of 5,000 soldiers against 30,000 enemy troops and successfully capturing the head of the Xilin general. He was brave and fearless, and showed his talent, which was more dazzling than the King of Huainan.
"It's... Prince Huainan... It's him! He's back!" An old soldier from Xilin was so scared that he was trembling all over, muttering to himself, and stepped back unconsciously. At this moment, the entire battle situation was completely reversed.
The Xilin border troops fell into unprecedented chaos. Lu Jing, holding the embroidered spring knife, was like an unmanned space on the battlefield, killing anyone he saw. Lu Nianqing and General Li of Zhongzhou quickly commanded the battle and soon took control of the entire battlefield.
After Lu Jing killed several people in a row, he jumped off his horse swiftly.
He immediately spotted Qingyun in the front and asked anxiously, "Where is the princess?"
Qingyun didn't know whether Su Qingwan was still alive at this time. She used all her strength and pointed to the right. The sword in her hand fell to the ground with a clang. Then her eyes went dark and she fainted.
Lu Jing was extremely anxious, so he pushed through the crowd and ran towards where Su Qingwan was. When he saw Lu Zhu, who had been stabbed several times and was already dead, his heart suddenly ached.
Going forward, he saw Su Qingwan lying on the ground. Su Qingwan's light armor was completely soaked in blood, and she had already lost consciousness. Lu Jing felt that his breathing was stagnant in an instant, and his eyes were instantly bloodshot and red.
Is he late?
