OBS Chapter 288 Close the City Gate
Chapter 288 Close the City Gate
Han Yaojun and his companions were all injured and exhausted, and they couldn't help but laugh when they heard the conversation between the two of them.
As expected, the youngsters still had the physical strength, and they were all too tired to speak.
Shi Zheng felt that these two teenagers who were not even old enough were just brats.
Although he also felt that the possibility of winning this battle was very low, he still comforted them out of habit.
"What are you thinking about? The battlefield is brutal, but we are not certain to die. We still have so many people, and reinforcements are on the way. We will definitely survive."
The two of them were really too young. Chu Jiang was only sixteen, and Bian Hangqing was seventeen. It would be hard not to sigh if two such young men in their prime really died on this border!
Chu Xi swung his sword again with a determined look in his eyes, "We must return home alive, everyone must return alive."
Life and death are not just a few words on a book, light and weightless.
In less than half a month, she witnessed people dying from natural disasters and floods, and she also witnessed countless soldiers dying day after day in order to defend the territory.
The number is so huge that they have no way to count it.
Chu Xi's only thought was to stay alive. She hoped that everyone was alive, even if they were OOC or deviated from the plot line. At least not so many people died.
The brutal war, which was easily summarized in just a few hundred lines of the novel, lasted for four years and resulted in the loss of four cities.
She couldn't imagine how many people had died here, and how many people had become slaves of other countries and were living a hard life.
Her determined eyes and confident tone infected others, and those around her subconsciously repeated her words.
"Go home. We want to go home alive."
Going home is a huge temptation for many soldiers who have been stationed at the border all year round. Faced with life and death, this sentence can inspire them and unleash all their potential.
There was a lot of blood on Chu Xi's fair face. She wiped it with the back of her hand, but the blood didn't get wiped away. Instead, the redness on her face became more and more.
Her eyes seemed particularly bright, and her pupils seemed to be flickering with light, which was the light of a longing to survive.
Countless soldiers behind him were filled with despair. They did not retreat, but that did not mean they did not want to live, and they did not show any fear.
In the ruthless battlefield, even Chu Xi, whose martial arts were much better than those of ordinary soldiers, could not avoid being injured.
Moreover, after several days of fighting, the wound on her waist had been cracking again before it had healed, over and over again. Not only could she not recover, it was already a blessing that her injury did not get worse.
Look, he was swinging his sword continuously and killing enemies with movements as simple as chopping wood. Even a moment's rest became a luxury.
As a result, when she raised her hand to draw the sword again, the wound on her waist hurt her so much that she paused. It was during this pause that a centurion from Western Chu took advantage of her opportunity.
He rode his horse and stabbed Chu Xi in the back with his gun.
Chu Xi was caught off guard and sensed the movement. She turned around and saw Chu Er standing in front of her, blocking the attack with his sword.
The tip of the spear did not pierce Chu Er's body, but the centurion was not discouraged. He sneered, and relying on his extraordinary arm strength, he rode his horse while pushing the sword forward with the tip of the spear.
Although Chu Er took the attack, it was still a bit difficult for him to block it head-on.
So when the centurion relied on the great impact of his horse to rush forward, this momentum was simply beyond the ability of Chu Er to stop.
The momentum was too great, and the tip of the spear missed Chu Er's sword and went straight to Chu Er's chest.
Chu Er reacted quickly, leaning back, putting his heels on the ground, and pushing hard to move backwards.
As for Chu Xi, he had already dodged quickly. Seeing that the situation was not right, he quickly rushed back and chopped off the right hind leg of the centurion's horse.
The warhorse's right hind leg was chopped hard by the sharp sword, forcing it to kneel on the spot. Its two front legs were lifted into the air and tossed around violently. The pain caused the horse to run wild.
The centurion, who thought he could kill the man in one blow, was thrown off his own horse.
Not only was he thrown off, but before he could even get up, the horse's hoof stepped hard on his lower abdomen.
Chu Er didn't have time to watch the fun. He lowered his eyes to look at his left shoulder which was scratched by the tip of the spear. The clothes on his shoulder were torn and there was an extra cut.
The blood quickly dyed the armor he was wearing bright red.
Bian Hangqing saw this and immediately came over, "Are you okay?"
Chu Xi shook his head and walked towards Chu Er, "How is your injury?"
Chu Er looked calm, "It's okay."
Just as Bian Hangqing was about to say something, he saw a long spear suddenly appear out of nowhere and pointed directly at his neck.
Chu Xi had sharp eyes and this time he quickly pulled the person over, blocked the attack with his sword, and looked at the person with cold eyes.
...semi-acquaintance.
It’s Qi Minsong.
Bian Hangqing was still frightened, but he breathed a sigh of relief after escaping the disaster.
He was not afraid of death and had long been prepared to die in battle.
Just thinking about it, I still feel a little unwilling.
This time, they were defeated not by Western Chu or Qi Minsong, but by an internal traitor!
"I can't bear to die like this! If Xi'an City is really breached, without witnesses and evidence, wouldn't the traitors who collaborate with the enemy become even more rampant?"
"No." Chu Xi turned around and said with determination, "The crime will not be buried. The people of Da Zhou want to know the truth, so you must live."
Even if it deviates from the plot line, even if it is OOC!
The city of Xi'an needs justice!
It's not that she needs this justice, it's because of the 70,000 soldiers who died in the battle to protect the city of Xi'an!
The people in the city who have left their homes due to the war and are displaced need it!
The people of the world who have been kept in the dark and have until now believed that only Western Chu is invading need to know the truth!
Bian Hangqing was stunned.
Before they could figure out what Chu Jiang meant by this, Chu Xi glanced at Chu Er and the two exchanged glances.
As if they had discussed it beforehand, one killed from left to right, and the other killed from right to left. The two tried their best and actually fought their way out.
Chu Xi pushed Han Yaojun in, along with Yun Jiyu.
The young man's hair, which was disheveled due to the battle, was blown up by the wind. It was unclear whether the way he and Chu Er fought their way out was a coincidence or something they had planned.
It’s just enough space to close the city gate.
The corners of Chu Xi's eyes were stained with a little blood. The fox eyes that were always beautiful now only showed solemnity. He stared at Han Yaojun and Yun Jiyou. Jiang Zhenyao and the others warned, "Go in and close the city gate!"
"Then what are you going to do?" Jiang Zhenyao's eyes widened.
"The overall situation is more important." Chu Xi didn't want to go in, but if there was no one blocking the city gate, the Western Chu soldiers would definitely rush into the city faster than closing the gate.
And...she was entangled by the two brothers Qi Minsong and Qi Jianshu, and even if she wanted to get away, she couldn't do it.
Han Yaojun and the others wanted to wait a little longer, but it was obvious that the battlefield was not a place they could wait as long as they wanted, as the Western Chu soldiers were still fighting hard inside the city gate.
If we delay any further, I'm afraid our intention to close the city gates will not be realized.
"Quick, leave us alone!"
