Chapter 294 Telling Everyone Not to Fight
It's no wonder he didn't recognize him. In his memory, his second uncle had always been majestic, tall and mighty. When had he ever...been so embarrassed?
This thought flashed through his mind, and Tang Yuhuai had no time to think about anything else and rushed to Tang Juncheng's side.
"Second uncle."
In fact, Tang Juncheng was already at the end of his strength, but he held on by relying on the determination to rather die than be captured.
Tang Yuhuai approached and supported him.
Tang Juncheng felt safe, and the tense nerves in his body relaxed. He fainted immediately and fell on Tang Yuhuai's shoulder.
As for who caught him, Tang Juncheng didn't even have time to see clearly.
Tang Yuhuai looked down at the arrow in his second uncle's abdomen.
How long did this arrow stay in my second uncle's abdomen?
Seeing that his second uncle was still holding the gun tightly while he was sleeping, Tang Yuhuai frowned and sighed.
He held the man with one hand, fighting and muttering to himself.
"Uncle, don't worry. Xi'an City will not be taken away. This city belongs to our Great Zhou. No one can take it away!"
With the addition of Tang Yuhuai and Yun Jiyu, Qi Minsong and Qi Jianshu's plan to capture Chu Xi and Tang Juncheng failed again.
Qi Minsong grabbed his right hand, where a large piece of flesh was cut and the bones on the back of his hand were vaguely visible. He quickly took off the wristband around his wrist and tied it tightly around the back of his hand.
Yun Jiyou's sword can cut through iron like mud, and it is a sword made of very good material.
A piece of flesh was cut off on the back of Qi Minsong's hand, and the green wristband that was wrapped around him was soon soaked with blood.
Qi Jianshu frowned slightly, "Your hand..."
"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious." Qi Minsong endured the pain and pretended to be relaxed.
Qi Jianshu seemed to want to say something but stopped.
Even if the wound wasn't on his hand, you could tell it must be painful just by looking at it.
But Qi Minsong said this because he must not want to alarm other soldiers and cause the army to lose morale.
So he didn't expose it.
The 10,000 cavalrymen who had just joined the battlefield were at their peak strength, and with their morale soaring, everyone seemed to be on high.
Even if Western Chu still had 60,000 soldiers, they could only retreat step by step in such a one-sided situation.
Tang Yuhuai's eyes were slightly cold. With him and Yun Jiyou protecting Tang Juncheng and Chu Jiang, it would not be easy for Qi Minsong to get close.
The Great Zhou soldiers who rushed out of the city also fought for several days and nights, but suddenly their combat effectiveness exploded, killing the Western Chu soldiers all the way and making them lose their armor.
If they had no way to retreat, they would have fled in panic.
"General...what should we do?" Qi Minsong's confidants began to panic.
According to previous spy reports, the Great Zhou sent out 100,000 troops this time, but they now have less than 60,000 troops left. How can they compete with 100,000 troops?
Besides, the soldiers of the Great Zhou could still hide in the city, but they were different.
They have nowhere to hide, nowhere to escape.
Qi Minsong turned his head and looked at the long river behind him.
The boats they used to cross the river were still there, but once they were on board, as long as the soldiers of the Great Zhou continued to shoot arrows at their boats, as long as there was fire on the arrows, the boats would inevitably catch fire.
"We have no way out, no reinforcements, no way out. Either we die or we take over Xi'an!"
The soldiers of Western Chu knew very well that they had no way to retreat, but the current situation was completely beyond their expectations.
Qi Minsong's words completely cut off their thoughts.
Perhaps people are so contradictory that when they have a way out, they would rather not give their best.
Once they have no way out, they will instead unleash unlimited potential and do things that others could not have expected.
The soldiers of Western Chu suddenly rose up to resist and united as one, no longer showing any intention of throwing away their weapons and armor and running away.
Chu Xi felt the wound on her abdomen tearing again. The pain made her cover it with her hands out of habit.
She turned to look at Tang Yuhuai, and because she was worried that her words would be heard by Qi Minsong and others, she moved closer and lowered her voice to ask.
"How many reinforcements did you bring?"
"I only brought 10,000 cavalrymen." Tang Yuhuai deliberately lowered his voice.
He was worried about the situation in Xi'an, fearing that support would not be provided in time and the city would fall, so he discussed the matter with the eldest prince.
He led 10,000 cavalrymen, who traveled day and night at the fastest speed.
The cavalry can travel much faster than the large army. The large army has 90,000 soldiers, and if they are on foot, it will take at least one day to reach Xi'an city.
"We can't fight outside for too long, otherwise the people of Xichu will notice something."
Tang Juncheng glanced at Qi Minsong, who looked familiar. "Once they realize that I only brought 10,000 cavalry, the situation will be unfavorable to us."
The soldiers of Western Chu are now fighting with restraints because they are worried that there are large troops behind them. If a real fight breaks out, they will only end up dead if they charge into battle.
Once they are discovered, it will be their death!
"Tell everyone not to fight any longer and return to the city immediately." Chu Xi frowned.
No matter how strong the fighting power of 10,000 cavalrymen was, it was impossible for them to wipe out more than 60,000 Western Chu soldiers face to face.
The army led by Tang Yuhuai is the most powerful army in the Great Zhou Dynasty today.
The army was the Tang Family Army under the command of his father. The Tang Family Army had a unique way of communicating, using whistles on the battlefield so as not to alert the enemy.
The enemy will not know their intentions.
Tang Yuhuai blew a few whistles, and after a few changes in the whistle, all the Tang family army cavalrymen instantly understood what he meant, which was to retreat into the city.
When Han Yaojun and his men rushed out to provide support, the city gate never closed again.
Now that Tang Yuhuai had given the order to retreat, all the cavalry began to line up and retreat in an orderly manner.
They provided cover while the defenders of Xi'an City withdrew first.
Han Yaojun raised his hand and made a gesture for retreat. Upon seeing this, the soldiers on the city wall immediately beat the drums, informing all the defenders who were charging into battle to retreat into the city.
Qi Jianshu glanced at the Xi'an defenders on both sides and found that they seemed to be fighting and retreating. Compared with their previous courageous advance, they now seemed to be in a posture of retreating.
"General, they are retreating!"
The pain in Qi Minsong's hand temporarily affected his judgment. In addition, Yun Jiyou was fighting with him, so he couldn't think of why they suddenly retreated.
Just as Qi Jianshu was about to tell Qi Minsong that there was a problem, Bian Hangqing was ready to cover the retreat of Chu Jiang and others, and took over the position of Tang Yuhuai and Chu Jiang.
Kill Qi Jianshu.
The big knife in his hand swept horizontally and chopped vertically. The heavy knife hit Qi Jianshu so hard that he couldn't find the strength to fight back with his spear and could only retreat.
Qi Jianshu saw a large number of soldiers retreating towards the city of Xi'an. He noticed something unusual, but because Bian Hangqing suddenly appeared, he was temporarily unable to judge what Chu Jiang and the others were intending to do.
The sword used by Bian Hangqing was extremely heavy, and in this regard, Qi Jianshu really couldn't do anything to him for a while.
With the help of Chu Er, Chu Xi quickly retreated into the city.
Jiang Zhenyao also killed countless enemies this time. The moment he retreated into the city, he slid down the wall and squatted on the ground to catch his breath.
