Chapter 293 Your uncle may need you more
Before Qi Jianshu could think about it, a large number of Zhou cavalrymen rushed towards them from the east and west sides.
The shouts of the charge made the Western Chu soldiers panic.
They had already encountered difficulties at the South Gate and thought they would win this battle.
As a result, despite having such an absolute advantage, they attacked for four days and four nights but still failed to capture the city of Xi'an.
When they came here, they were full of confidence and felt that this battle would be a good opportunity for them to achieve success.
Then, after several consecutive days of fighting, their fighting spirit gradually waned and their morale also dropped significantly.
Even the Western Chu soldiers who surrounded Chu Xi and the other person began to retreat.
They panicked before the enemy even reached them.
The formation of the Western Chu soldiers had begun to become disorganized, and not only that, but also their morale.
They had a very good situation for this expedition, with the right time, right place and right people. Under such circumstances, they even had the confidence that they could defeat the enemy before setting out.
Xi'an faces natural disasters every year to a greater or lesser extent. In previous years, the mildest disasters lasted only one or two days and the water level would not rise too much.
This year, by chance, it rained for seven days, causing the dam to burst and flooding to occur.
This is a natural disaster.
The geographical advantage refers to the fact that the internal disputes in the Great Zhou have reached a full-scale stage. The Eighth Prince is not hesitant to join forces with the enemy country and bring them into the Great Zhou at the cost of giving up four cities.
Ambitious.
Fortunately, Renhe had made all these preparations and happened to encounter a flood period, so they were able to cross the river without any hindrance.
Xianyang was taken by them first, and Xi'an became an isolated city with no one to turn to for help and was surrounded by enemies on all sides...
Even so, they managed to hold on with only 50,000 troops in the city.
They broke through the city gate several times and were about to take it, but Chu Jiang and others turned the tide and saved the situation.
Qi Jianshu frowned. This sudden turn of events was something no one had expected.
"Hold steady, all soldiers retreat immediately and gather together." Qi Minsong ordered in a deep voice.
When all the soldiers heard Qi Minsong's order, their originally scattered morale calmed down temporarily.
Everyone gathered together.
As for Chu Xi and Tang Juncheng.
Qi Minsong would naturally not let these two go.
Now that the situation has changed drastically, keeping these two people in his hands may have other uses.
He turned to look at Qi Jianshu, and then his gaze turned to Chu Xi who was still fighting desperately, "Work together and take them down!"
Tang Juncheng knelt down on one knee several times, with the tip of his sword standing on the ground, supporting himself with his remaining strength.
Chu Xi noticed something strange on the ground and the sudden dust rising on the east and west sides, and naturally guessed that reinforcements had most likely arrived.
This is of course good news for the people in the city, but for her and Tang Juncheng who are trapped...
Definitely not good news.
As soon as the reinforcements arrived, Qi Minsong, who heard the noise, made a quick decision.
Qi Minsong and Qi Jianshu looked at each other, and tacitly attacked where Chu Xi was.
Both of them were holding spears, one on the left and the other on the right, attacking from both sides.
With some Western Chu soldiers helping him, Chu Xi's situation became worse than before.
She noticed that the gauze on her left hand had loosened and the wound had split open again. Ignoring the pain, she bit one end of the gauze and pulled it tight.
There was a silent madness in the boy's calm eyes, a madness that seemed to drag everyone down to hell.
Continuous battles and repeated injuries caused him to lose too much blood, and his already fair face now looked as pale as a patient.
Qi Minsong brought the cultivation of a noble family to the battlefield. Although every move he used was a lethal one, he still apologized politely and politely.
"Prince Chu, I'm sorry."
Facing the siege of the two, Chu Xi really didn't have the energy to deal with Qi Minsong's nonsense.
She remained silent, just swinging her sword and concentrating on dealing with the two of them.
Tang Juncheng was entangled by other soldiers and was unable to take care of himself, so he naturally could not help Chu Jiang.
The arrow that was stuck in his abdomen and had not been removed became a serious problem that held him back.
The soldiers attacked him in the abdomen repeatedly, and one of them used a spear to "sweep the army", just in time to sweep the arrow that had not been pulled out.
Tang Juncheng endured the pain without crying out and continued to fight.
Tang Yuhuai, who led 10,000 cavalrymen to the South Gate battlefield from a distance, saw this critical situation and jumped off his horse without thinking, drawing his sword.
He rushed to the front alone, and wherever he went, there were casualties.
Tang Yuhuai's posture was as if Guan Yu were still alive, possessing the bravery of a single man blocking a thousand.
Seeing this, Bian Hangqing on the city wall subconsciously wanted to run down the city, but after running a few steps, he seemed to suddenly remember something and hurriedly turned back to ask Han Yaojun.
"General Han, can we open the city gates and welcome the reinforcements in?"
Han Yaojun nodded, "Okay."
This time, it was not only Bian Hangqing who rushed out alone, Yun Jiyu and others also ran down the city wall.
Jiang Zhenyao woke up at some point and sneaked in and went down with them.
The soldiers of the Great Zhou behind the city gate were still hesitating whether to open the gate. Without the order from the commander on the battlefield, they did not dare to open the gate easily.
They were discussing whether or not to go up to the city wall to ask Han Yaojun for instructions.
Before we could reach a conclusion, the people had already left.
Han Yaojun gripped the shaft of his spear tightly, staring forward with a resolute gaze, "Open the city gate."
"Yes."
At his command, the heavy wooden bolt was moved away, and the city gate was quickly opened with the joint efforts of more than a dozen people.
"Soldiers, follow me and kill together!" Han Yaojun's eyes were deep, staring fixedly at the tens of thousands of Western Chu troops in front of him.
With his words, thousands of people seemed to be instantly energized.
The previous dejection, despair, and pain are nothing, only the heroic spirit remains.
A kind of heroic spirit to destroy everyone instantly boosted morale.
In front, Yun Jiyu, Han Yaojun and other skilled people are leading the way, and there are reinforcements who have just arrived on the battlefield outside.
When the two armies faced off, the morale of the Great Zhou soldiers severely overwhelmed that of the Western Chu.
Qi Minsong and Qi Jianshu surrounded Chu Xi and fought with her, their moves becoming noticeably more urgent.
It is obvious that the current situation is not favorable to them. If they don’t catch Chu Xi, they will probably have no chance in the future.
Just as Qi Minsong reached out to grab Chu Xi, Yun Jiyu and Tang Yuhuai came from different directions, stepping on the shoulders of the Western Chu soldiers.
Qi Minsong was stabbed hard on the back of his hand by Yun Jiyu, while Chu Xi was helped by Tang Yuhuai.
The two of them work well together.
No need to even discuss it in advance.
"Qibai, how are you injured?" Tang Yuhuai asked with habitual concern.
"I'm fine. Your uncle may need you more." Chu Xi nodded his chin towards the forty-five degree angle behind them.
Tang Yuhuai raised an eyebrow, "My uncle?"
Turning around, he saw that it was indeed his second uncle.
"..."
(⊙o⊙)...
He didn't recognize it!
