Chapter 252 Famous generals die

With Zhang Xutuo's cover, Cheng Yaojin quickly got rid of the Liao people's pursuit with more than a thousand wounded soldiers. He rushed to the edge of a dense forest. He asked the cavalry to dismount and drove the horses to the west. More than a thousand cavalry jumped into the bone-cold stream, waded all the water north for several miles before he went up the north shore and sneaked into the vast dense forest.

Zhang Xutuo led more than a thousand people to ride horses and carry guns, rushing left and right, and retreating. After nearly half an hour, he led his troops to retreat westward.

More than a thousand people ran wildly. When they temporarily escaped the pursuit of the Liao people, less than 800 people were left. When they retreated westward, he gathered hundreds of lost defeated soldiers, but none of them knew the whereabouts of Prime Minister Su Wei, and their lives and death were unknown.

After a simple rest, after eating some dry food and drinking water, Zhang Xutuo stepped onto the war horse again, preparing to continue to gather the lost Sui army and search for Su Wei's whereabouts.

The wind is roaring and the snow is flying!

Many Sui soldiers fell down and could no longer stand up and could only lie there. Several generals stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Xutuo's horse reins, and said in tears, "Master, you can't go out again. The soldiers fought for a day and were trapped and exhausted. Going out again will be dead. Master, let's retreat into the forest. When we recover today, we will gather together Master Chen's troops and go to seek revenge on Liao Gou."

"How can I ignore my brothers who have been through life and death with me? It was me, Zhang Xutuo, who brought them to Liaodong. I will bring them back to Shandong in the future." Zhang Xutuo's face was already red with cold, and even the snow on the thick beard turned into ice. His face was firm, but his eyes were determined.

"Master, here the mountains are high and dense forests are dense. Most of the brothers who have not surrounded the surroundings have probably entered the forest. The remaining brothers who are surrounded have fought fiercely for a day, and now they want to save them, which is too late. Master, the green mountains are left, so they are not afraid of burning firewood. As long as you are here, our Shandong children will have the opportunity to seek revenge on the Liao people today!" At this time, those generals were really unwilling to watch Zhang Xutuo take people to rush to kill. There were not many 800 cavalrymen who could fight. At this time, they would die.

Zhang Xutuo turned his head and looked at the soldiers lying in the snow behind him, and said unquestionably, "You wait for me here, I'll go." After saying that, he rode out and galloped out. The general gritted his teeth and summoned hundreds of still-moving cavalrymen and followed them to kill them.

Along the way to the east, there were small encirclements everywhere, with Sui cavalry. Many of the cavalry had no horses, and they gathered back to back together to fight to the death.

In the dark night, there were lights of fire everywhere. The Liao army had lost most of the Sui army. They were in a team of thousands of people constantly searching for the Sui army within a vast area of ​​dozens of miles. As soon as they discovered the Sui army, they immediately launched a siege and killed them all.

The team of hundreds of cavalry led by Zhang Xutuo continued to rush back and forth in the darkness, saving teams of soldiers after group of soldiers, but Su Wei and the others were never seen. Most of the soldiers rescued were seriously injured, and the more people rescued, the fewer and fewer soldiers around Zhang Xutuo were.

The wind and snow in the dark night stopped at some point, and there was no sound of tearing and killing on the entire battlefield. There were only one or two occasional screams, which were the screams of the Sui army who were searched before their death.

Zhang Xutuo rode on a war horse and looked up at the sky. Behind him, there were only eight cavalry left. Ten thousand people crossed the river, but now there were only eight cavalry left. Looking at the Shandong Eight Wind Camp, which was scattered across Shandong and Henan, now there were only eight old subordinates with broken armor and covered in blood.

He suddenly felt a little sorry for these soldiers. These brave Shandong warriors followed him to conquer the Central Plains. They fought countless victories and wiped out one rebel after another. But in the end, what did these warriors who followed him get? Their home was already thousands of miles away from the land of Shandong, and most of their families had died under the rebels' wars.

The more they won battles with them, the more they could not even protect their own family members. Now they have traveled thousands of miles to foreign lands, and they cannot even die on the land of the Central Plains. They can only be a lonely ghost.

Thinking of this, two lines of tears suddenly slid from his eyes, and two lines of tears couldn't help but shed. In a trance, he suddenly fainted and almost fell from his horse.

He died before he succeeded, which often made the heroes cry.

The eight soldiers behind him also felt the coach's emotions and couldn't help but cry. This is the end of a hero, such as Zhang Dashen, but he would never expect that today would be.

"Master, let's withdraw. As long as you are still there, Bafeng Camp will still be there. There are countless heroes from Shandong. As long as you return to Shandong, with the general's call, countless soldiers will immediately come to surrender. At that time, the general will lead the troops to fight and avenge this great revenge for my Shandong children."

"Yes, Grandmaster, you can't let your children die in vain."

The last eight soldiers were mourning and admonished, and now there were only nine of them left. If they did not retreat, they would undoubtedly die. They were not afraid of death, but they were unwilling to die like this.

Zhang Xutuo smiled bitterly, "For so many years, my brothers have fought with me to the north and circulate the Central Plains. Now, there are too many brothers who are still alive. Listen to every scream in the dark night, it is an old brother who is dying. At such a moment, how can I escape alone and survive in the world? There is only Zhang Xutuo who died in battle, and there will be no Zhang Xutuo who fled in the battle."

A faint light shone in the vast snow. Zhang Xutuo took off his helmet, put his hair in a tight manner, and then put on his helmet. He looked calm and slowly tidied up his outfit. Finally, he held up the big iron spear that he had followed him to fight for his whole life, grabbed a handful of snow on the ground, and gently wiped the iron spear covered in blood, over and over again, until there was no blood stain.

A few stars and flames appeared not far away, and waves of chaotic footsteps came, accompanied by the sound of iron hooves of war horses. The pursuers hunted by the coalition forces came.

Zhang Xutuo calmly turned over the horse, holding an iron spear in his hand and quietly stood in the forest.

The Liao army soon discovered these nine Sui army. Especially after seeing the armor on the front one, everyone knew that they had met a Sui general. The Liao army roared excitedly and held a torch to surround them.

"Zhang Xutuo of the Great Sui Dynasty is here, Liao Gou is here to die!" Zhang Xutuo roared with all his strength, jumped into the enemy with a spear, and followed the eight cavalry closely behind him. The swords and guns were mixed, blood splashed, and war horses neighed.

When the Liao army knew that the man in front of him had a thousand kilograms of gold when he got the head. After Zhang Xutuo, who could have a hundred kilograms of gold with his limbs, he was completely boiling. They waved their swords and guns and crowded up desperately.

Eight soldiers following Zhang Xutuo fell one by one, and with the last neighing of the war horse, Zhang Xutuo's horse also fell to the ground. Zhang Xutuo rolled up from the snow, continued to fight with a gun, and stabbed dozens of Liao soldiers to death in succession, his spear was also broken by a wolf-toothed stick.

The war horse died and the spear was broken. Zhang Xutuo pulled out his sword and fought again. Circles of corpses of coalition soldiers had piled up around him. After the Liao soldiers went crazy, they also began to fear this man like a god of war. Many people had been defeated by the fear of death and temptation of gold.

Among countless torches, the Liao coalition soldiers surrounded Zhang Xutuo from afar. Some soldiers had already begun to snatch the bow and arrow. Although this could not be done, the shooting would also be a reward.

Flashes of footsteps sounded, and the brigade of Liao soldiers arrived, and Zhang Gong's soldiers put away the bows and arrows in their hands.

In the fire, Goguryeo commander Yizhi Wende, Baekje commander Fuyuzhang, Shiwei commander Tie Da'an, and Mohe commander Huang Ge rushed forward one after another, and the Liao soldiers hurriedly made way out.

Yizhi Wende looked at the famous Sui army general in front of him curiously, and the heroes were as heroes. Famous generals felt a sense of mutual appreciation for the enemy and famous generals. Yizhi was known as the God of the military in Goguryeo, but the person in front of him was also known as the number one general in the Sui Dynasty.

Today's battle forced Yizhi Wende to admire the Sui general. He had 200,000 troops and set up a ten-sided ambush to fight hard for one day. The total number of soldiers and generals was not considered to be slaves, but the other party was just 20,000.

Thinking about the fact that he had only ambushed the Sui army with more than 100,000 people, but he annihilated 300,000 people, the nine armies claimed to be elite. He believed that if Zhang Xutuo had twice the number of troops, today's victory or defeat would be unpredictable.

Seeing that his helmet fell off, one leg was penetrated by a long spear, Zhang Xutuo, who was supporting the sword in his hand with a horizontal sword pillar in his hand. Yizhi Wende said loudly, "In today's battle, General Zhang is indeed a famous general, showing his true nature. He is a hero who knows the times and is a hero. He is a hero. He is so heroic for a lifetime. I cannot bear to kill him. Why not give up his sword and surrender. As long as you surrender, I guarantee that you will not be insulted that you should not have." Although such a famous general must be destroyed. But if Zhang Xutuo really surrenders, he also wants to use this as a bargaining chip to force the defenders in Liaodong city to surrender.

Zhang Xutuo was exhausted, one of his legs was broken, and his whole body was supported by a horizontal knife. Zhang Xutuo, who was pale due to excessive color loss, laughed several times, stretched out one hand to grab the spear that pierced his thigh and used his strength to thrust it.

"Ah!" In the severe pain, blood splattered, and Zhang Xutuo pulled out his spear. After breathing a few breaths, Zhang Xutuo grabbed the spear covered with his warm blood and smiled disdainfully, "Only Zhang Xutuo who died in battle will never surrender Zhang Xutuo!" After saying that, he raised his hand and the blood-red spear suddenly flew out and shot towards Yizhi Wende on the opposite side.

The sudden attack made Yizhi Wende hurriedly avoid it. The hot feeling rose from his face. Yizhi Wende reached out to touch it, and a deep blood mark was wiped out by the spear that had been shot. Such a deep blood mark would be cured in the future and would leave a deep scar.

Yizhi Wende was furious, "Zhang Xutuo! You are just a defeated general. I am willing to give you a chance to spare you. You should thank me. I didn't expect you to repay your kindness with grudges. Do you really dare not kill you?"

Seeing that the spear did not stab Yizhi Wende, Zhang Xutuo seemed to be unwilling to care, and just chuckled, "Wealth and honor are destined to be alive, and life and death are in the sky. Why am I, Zhang Xutuo, afraid of death? But you said that those who know the current affairs are heroes, but I want to persuade you. Goguryeo has reached a dead end. No matter how hard you struggle now, you are just a mantis arm blocking the chariot and struggling to death. If you really know the current affairs, you should surrender to the Great Sui Dynasty at this time, instead of just resisting stubbornly. The result is nothing more than a country and family death."

At this time, Yizhi Wende was already angry and laughed, "I respect you as a man, so I want you to be more decent. If you don't know the current situation anymore, don't blame me for being rude."

Huang Ge pointed at Zhang Xutuo and said, "Master, why bother to talk nonsense to him anymore? Zhang Xutuo is just like this, he is completely flirting with fame. If he is really a famous general, then he should know the minimum choice and advancement. What qualifications are there to be a famous general who can only win but not defeat? Even if it is the stupidest hunter of my Black Water Mart, I know the principle of retreating when I am defeated. Fighting hard is just a desperate man. Maleman, I am willing to cut off his head and offer it to His Majesty the King."

Yizhi Wende glanced at Huang Ge with some contempt, cherishing his life when doing big things, and forgetting his life when seeing small profits. Such a person will never be on the table, but just a greedy villain.

"Zhang Xutuo, I will give you another chance. Whether you die or live is all in your mind!" Yizhi said with a sneer.

Surrounded by all sides, Zhang Xutuo felt his body getting colder and colder, as if it was colder into his bone marrow. He knew that this was the cause of excessive blood loss. If this continued, it would not take long for him to die of blood loss.

Zhang Xutuo pulled up the long sword in his hand and pointed at Yizhi Wende. Zhang Xutuo's actions scared the Liao army, thinking that Zhang Xutuo was about to shake his hand and fly his sword again. Dozens of personal soldiers hurriedly raised their shields to protect Yizhi Wende and others, blocking the wind and rain.

Seeing the Liao army being so alert, Zhang Xutuo laughed several times again. Without the support of the sword, he could no longer stand and fell to the ground with a sway. He picked up a spear from the ground, struggled to stand up, and pierced a diagonally into the snow, and finally supported it on his waist with the handle of the gun.

"I will take the lead. It won't take long to wait today and we will definitely come to meet each other. In the underworld, I will raise my troops and fight again, and then we will fight again." After saying these words, Zhang Xutuo held a horizontal knife in both hands, raised his sword and slashed towards his neck, blood splashed, and his head hanged.

Even if he died, he would never want to die under the enemy's weapons. If this sword continues, there will be no pain or reluctance, and there will be only peace and liberation. He will rush to meet his brothers and kill Yan Luo with hundreds of thousands of flags.

The power of the tiger's death is still there. Although he committed suicide, the body supported by the spear cannot bear its height.

In the dense forest, the north wind yelled, snowflakes were flying, and white snowflakes kept falling on his body. A famous general died in a foreign country!

***: Zhang Xutuo was a little sad when he died. Such a person really wanted to accept the protagonist's command, but it was too difficult, as difficult as the sky. In the end, he was so helpless that he died!
