Chapter 322 Chu Jiang will sooner or later become like his grandfather
"Your Highness, please go back to the city first." Chu Xi turned to Zhou Yichen and said while fighting the enemy.
Zhou Yichen fought side by side with Chu Xi with a determined look in his eyes. Zheng Hao and other personal guards were always by his side, fearing that he would come to any harm.
"I won't leave, so don't even think about knocking me out again this time."
Chu Xi frowned, feeling somewhat helpless. Zhou Yichen had learned his lesson this time. Worried that he would strike first, he followed his previous approach and knocked the man unconscious, letting Zheng Hao carry him away.
In order to prevent the previous incident from happening again, Zhou Yichen, who was originally standing next to Chu Xi, quickly distanced himself from him, and placed a few Western Chu soldiers in between, making it impossible for Chu Xi to get close even if he wanted to take action.
"Your Highness, the prince is doing this for your own good." As Zhou Yichen's personal guard, Zheng Hao knew that defending the city was important, but nothing could be more important than the safety of your Highness.
Zhou Yichen glanced at Zheng Hao with cold eyes, as if saying silently - I haven't settled the score with you for what happened before, and you still have the nerve to talk?
Zhou Yichen and Chu Xi both heard a lot of noise. The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and the speed was very fast.
The ground seemed to be shaking, as if it was about to crack, which made people feel panic.
The soldiers of Western Chu welcomed help, and their morale naturally increased. They killed the enemies more resolutely, quickly and fiercely, which formed a sharp contrast with the morale of the Great Zhou.
The city of Xi'an had been defended for more than ten days. Except for General Tang who had just arrived, the defenders of Xi'an had already been exhausted from repeated sieges. Only their faith was barely supporting them to continue holding on.
The combat effectiveness of the Tang family army is comparable to that of the soldiers trained by the Duke of Weiguo himself. There is no doubt about their combat effectiveness. It is a pity that their number is too small, only 10,000. Even if one person is used as ten people, it is difficult to save the situation.
Moreover, the injection of new troops is like new life. Their physical strength is still well preserved and they have a natural advantage.
The combat effectiveness of the Japanese army was different from what Qi Minsong had expected. According to the descriptions of the older generation of generals who had participated in the war, the Japanese army was the weakest and was only good at naval battles.
However, the 50,000 troops brought this time did not lose much in the head-on battle with the Tang army.
It can be seen that in the past decade or so, not only Xi Chu has been preparing for a comeback.
Japan has also been strengthening its training day after day.
More than a decade ago, they were jokingly called the weakest existence. This time they returned to the Great Zhou with a fierce momentum. It can be seen that they have coveted the Great Zhou for many years and also want to wash away the shame of the past.
Chu Xi said coldly, "Soldiers, the enemy has invaded our borders, killed our brothers and comrades, and intends to take over the cities of our Great Zhou. What should we do?"
"Kill, kill, kill!" All the soldiers behind answered without thinking, raising their weapons and waving them towards the sky.
Echoing Chu Xi's words, his voice became louder and more powerful, as if it would echo through the sky.
"Soldiers, behind us are hundreds of thousands of Xi'an citizens, including our families, brothers and sisters. Even if it's not for our pride, just for them, we must not take a step back and let the enemy enter Xi'an."
"Yes! Never retreat!" Someone responded loudly, and thousands of soldiers behind him followed suit without hesitation.
The loud noise made the Western Chu soldiers facing them tremble. They were shocked by the momentum bursting out from them and subconsciously took several steps back.
Qi Jianshu, who was sitting on the horse behind, saw this scene and unconsciously tightened the reins.
Chu Jiang is more experienced than him in boosting morale.
Chu Jiang's few words made the morale, which had been plummeting, rise sharply, and everyone was determined to die.
In this situation, he was not afraid of death, and certainly not of the enemy troops in front of him.
Jian Ba looked nervous, "Major General..."
As long as we take over Xi'an, we can avenge our previous defeat.
Qi Jianshu's eyes were cold, "It doesn't matter, it's just a last-ditch effort. Xi'an City will fall into the hands of Xi Chu sooner or later."
They have paid too much to capture the city of Xi'an.
The city of Xi'an, with only tens of thousands of people, actually delayed them for more than ten days. If they didn't take it down, the reputation of the Qi family would be destroyed in their own hands.
Chu Xi's few words rekindled the fighting spirit of all the soldiers present who had originally given up hope.
The soldiers' eyes instinctively followed the young man in red and white in front of them. The young man had a slender figure, with long, smooth, jet-black hair fluttering in the wind, like the only light in the world.
No one can block this light.
The fighting ability Chu Xi has shown in these days is even better than Han Yaojun's.
No matter how he risked his life yesterday, he led dozens of people to do their best to block the tens of thousands of troops outside, and delayed precious time for the army to close the city gates.
Today, he bravely entered the long snake formation set up by Xi Chu, broke the formation together with Tang Yuhuai, and rescued Bian Hangqing at the same time.
These two things alone have convinced many soldiers and made them look at him with admiration.
It is no exaggeration to say that the person with the highest credibility in Xi'an City today is neither the Lord of Xi'an City, Han Yaojun, nor the noble royal descendant Zhou Yichen.
But it was Chu Xi.
The Prince of Chu has turned the tide several times with his own efforts. After this incident, the news of the battle in Xi'an will sooner or later spread, and Chu Jiang will become famous in one battle.
During the last Yunzhou incident, Chu Jiang’s name was only known in some places. This time, it was not just the Great Zhou, but the entire Central Plains, and even the northern grasslands and other countries.
Chu Jiang will sooner or later become a figure like his grandfather, a famous general whose name will go down in history and be remembered forever.
The Japanese troops arrived in large numbers, and with their participation, the defenders of Xi'an city found it even more difficult to defend.
Where Chu Xi, Tang Yuhuai and others were, anyone who tried to kill them or got close to them was killed before they could even make a move.
Chu Xi went from being a modern man who had never killed even a chicken to a general with an increasingly tough mind who fought bravely on the battlefield.
Even she herself didn't have time to notice such a change. In troubled times, one is always forced to do things against one's will. If you don't change, you will not be able to keep the things or people you want to keep.
Zhou Yichen's martial arts skills were not very good, just enough to protect himself. On the battlefield where swords and guns were indiscriminate, although his martial arts could kill some ordinary soldiers who did not know martial arts, he could not pay attention to every move at all times.
When Chu Xi turned around, he noticed a spear, the tip of which had already pierced Zhou Yichen's back and was about to injure his vitals.
She attacked without hesitation, cutting off the soldier's spear with one sword, and said coldly, "Zheng Hao, protect His Highness."
Seeing that the tip of the spear was about to pierce His Highness's back, Zheng Hao rushed over, but was blocked by several Western Chu soldiers who suddenly stood in front of him.
By the time he had dealt with the people, Prince Chu had already rescued His Highness.
Zheng Hao, who was sweating coldly, subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that His Highness was rescued.
"it is good."
Chu Xi trusts Zheng Hao 80%, as Zheng Hao was once framed by a corrupt official from the Seventh Prince's party.
When his sister was murdered, it was Zhou Yichen who cleared his name, made the corrupt official's crime public, and sentenced him to three thousand miles of exile with no pardon for life.
