Chapter 2912 Capture Xiangzhuang and kill Chang Yuchun, the city is burned with fire and the blessed Lord appears
Chapter 2908: Capture Xiangzhuang, behead Chang Yuchun, burn the city with fire, and reveal the blessed Lord
Qi Jiguang is a commander-in-chief general, and his force value is not very high, not even over 100. So where did he get the courage to join the battle in person when he knew that there were three gods of war?
Aren’t you afraid of bumping into Chang Mao and other gods of war?
The reason is actually very simple.
After Zhou Yu left, Qi Jiguang spared no effort in attacking Ganyu in order to capture Zhu Di as soon as possible.
Although the number of Zhu Di's troops was small, the troops were well equipped. In addition, they had seized favorable terrain in advance. This made Qi Jiguang experience Zhou Yu's dilemma. The Qin army had no strength advantage but was unable to exert it.
Qi Jiguang knew that if he wanted to defeat Zhu Di within two hours, he must first severely injure a group of strong generals in his army, so he sent Jiao Mochang and asked other generals to assist him.
It has to be said that in this battle, Jiao Moxiang was simply a model worker. He retreated from three battles, changed three sets of armor, and suffered eight wounds, but he continued to fight after being simply bandaged.
Through his performance in previous battles, it has been shown that Jiao Moxiang alone is no match for Chang Yuchun, Chang Mao, and Zhang Guiba. However, if Qin sends other generals to assist in the battle, the Ming army will definitely do the same. There are other reinforcements.
After all, in terms of the number of generals, even the Qin army with 27,000 men was still inferior to the Ming army with 1,700 men.
Wang Shizhong fought hard to save Ao Shen at the cost of his injuries and then ran away. Chang Yuchun did not pursue him. After all, his son was still fighting alone, so he decisively went to rescue his son.
This time, two high-level **** generals, Wang Shizhong and Ao Shen, are assisting in the battle. Together, they can help Jiao Mochang hold down a **** of war. This naturally greatly reduces the pressure on Jiao Mochang. If the fight continues at this trend, the Qin army will Will definitely be the first to win.
Qi Jiguang's strategy is correct, but he overlooked one point, that is, Jiao Moxiang can heal his injuries and regain his physical strength after withdrawing from the battle, so naturally the three generals Chang Yuchun, Chang Mao, and Zhang Guiba can also.
Subsequently, Qi Jiguang ordered the three generals Jiao Mochang, Wang Shizhong, and Ao Shen to lead 300 cavalrymen from the West Alley. While further compressing the space for street fighting of the Ming army, he also wanted to penetrate Zhu Di's inner circle and carry out beheading operations.
But Zhu Di was not stupid. He knew that Jiao Mochang could still fight. It was impossible to send Chang Yuchun, Chang Mao, and Zhang Guiba before he showed up, so he only sent Xiang Zhuang and Feng Sheng. , Zheng Yuchun, Zheng Yulin and other generals.
Although Ao Shen is a mythical figure, he is only a human being after his birth, not a robot. Naturally, he, who is still just a **** general, cannot withstand such a high-intensity battle.
Jiao Mo originally wanted to eliminate Chang Mao first. After all, Chang Mao was more powerful, but Chang Mao did not fall for the trick. In the end, he did not hesitate to have his left arm broken, so he took the lead and eliminated Zhang Guiba. , but did not expect Zhang Guiba's fate, which accelerated the defeat of Ao Shen and Wang Shizhong.
In order to break this dilemma, Qi Jiguang adopted the strategy of attacking from the east and attacking from the west, deliberately dispatching a large number of troops to attack eastward with all his strength, intending to force the Ming army generals to go to the rescue.
Chang Mao, Chang Yuchun and his son teamed up. Jiao Mochang, who was seriously injured and could only fight with his right hand, was naturally at a disadvantage again.
If Ao Shen and Wang Shizhong were defeated and Chang Yuchun was asked to go to support them, then Jiao Moqiang would not end up defeated, but would probably be at risk of losing his life.
Facing Chang Yuchun's heavy blow, the spear in Ao Shen's hand was knocked away, and then his armor was shattered and his whole body was blown away. If Wang Shizhong hadn't sacrificed his life to save him, Ao Shen would have died.
Hence, Ao Shen, who had never let his guard down, actually fell off his guard at the most critical moment.
On the other hand, although Wang Shizhong and Ao Shen can do this, they are only two high-level generals, and their recovery speed is obviously not as fast as the God of War.
Originally, the two of them could hold on for five more rounds, but facing Chang Yuchun who was in a desperate state, they couldn't hold on for just one round.
Especially Ao Shen, who experienced three battles and was defeated by Zhang Guiba, and then went back and forth to put out fires between the left and right wings of the Qin army. His role as a model worker in this battle was second only to Jiao Mochang.
What Qi Jiguang didn't expect was that Jiao Mo could win a one-on-two match, while Wang Shizhong and Ao Shen fell into a disadvantage when facing Chang Yuchun in a two-on-one match.
Although the injuries Jiao Moxiang suffered in the previous three battles were not three serious, the sum of them still weakened his combat power to a certain extent. He would definitely not be able to withstand the three gods of war again.
Ao Shen, who was already low on physical strength, teamed up with Wang Shizhong to fight Chang Yuchun in a double battle. In the end, the two of them fell into a disadvantage after less than twenty rounds.
Therefore, in order to no longer face the three gods of war alone, Jiao Moxiang had to switch to a fighting method of exchanging injuries for injuries.
Zhu Di saw Jiao Mo coming and going, and immediately sent Chang Yuchun, Chang Mao, and Zhang Guiba. The two sides also broke out another war in Xixiang Street, Ganyu Inner City.
Zhu Di's reaction was completely as expected by Qi Jiguang. He knew that with Jiao Mochang's restraint, Zhu Di would definitely not send Chang Yuchun, Chang Mao, and Zhang Guiba out, so his purpose was only to lure Xiang Zhuang away. They are just generals, so on their side, they will focus on strong generals to deal with Chang Yuchun, Chang Mao, and Zhang Guiba first.
Jiao Moxiang wanted to retreat, but the Chang family father and son, who had a tacit understanding, naturally guarded Jiao Moxiang from escaping, which made Jiao Moxiang unable to find a chance to escape.
Seeing that his physical strength was rapidly depleting, but he still couldn't escape, Jiao Moxiang knew that he might have to save his life. In his heart, he became furious and had the idea of pulling the other party to die together. However, Wang Shizhong, who had escaped at this time, turned back to rescue him. .
After Wang Shizhong rescued Ao Shen, if he had not come back, he would have been able to survive, but he happened to come back.
If he were in his prime state, Wang Shizhong, a high-level **** general, could at least hold on for a while even if he faced the God of War alone. However, he was already lacking physical fitness and was injured, yet he still tried to hold off Chang Yuchun and several others alone. Round, so I risked my life.
It was natural that Jiao Moxiang would not miss the opportunity Wang Shizhong sacrificed his life to create. In the end, at the cost of a broken leg, he managed to knock Chang Yuchun and Chang Mao out at the same time, and he also passed out due to exhaustion. past.
Seeing that Jiao Mochang, Chang Yuchun and Chang Mao were unconscious at the same time, the soldiers of Qin and Ming Dynasties thought that the three of them were dead, so they all rushed over like crazy to **** the 'corpse' of their general. After they snatched it back, they found that it was just a corpse. Passed out.
In this way, in just one hour of battle, the four war gods Jiao Mochang, Chang Yuchun, Chang Mao, and Zhang Guiba were all seriously injured and retired.
Especially Jiao Mochang, whose left hand and right leg were directly broken. Although it can be cured, if such a serious injury is to be cured, he will definitely not be able to participate in the war in the short term.
In addition, the Qin army also sacrificed a high-level divine general to give Jiao Mochang a chance to defeat Chang Yuchun and Chang Mao. This price was not small.
It was precisely because Chang Yuchun, Chang Mao, and Zhang Guiba, the three war gods, all lost their ability to fight that Qi Jiguang dared to participate in it himself.
Although the explanation army still has generals such as Xiang Zhuang and Feng Sheng, and the Qin army can no longer send out a high-level war god, the gap in strength between the two sides still widens.
Therefore, even if the Ming army has nearly a thousand troops left and reinforcements still have an hour to arrive, Qi Jiguang is still sure to annihilate them, and his personal participation in the battle will undoubtedly improve the morale of the Qin army.
After Qi Jiguang went out to fight, the morale of the Qin army greatly increased, which caused the Ming army's casualties to increase rapidly, and dozens of people died together. After all, the remaining Ming army was basically injured. Seeing that the Ming army was rapidly reducing its numbers, Zhu Di knew that if he continued to fight like this, he would definitely not be able to sustain the arrival of reinforcements, so he participated in the battle again regardless of his injuries. It was precisely because of his participation in the battle that he restored the Ming army's precarious morale.
Among the rebels, Qi Jiguang spotted Zhu Di at a glance. He immediately wanted to kill Zhu Di, but was blocked by Xiang Zhuang.
Xiang Zhuang, who had a base score of 104 (+5), faced Qi Jiguang, who had a base score of 99 (+3). Not only did he not kill him with a crushing force, but he also tended to be suppressed by him.
Xiang Zhuang was seriously injured in successive fierce battles, and his skill and physical strength were almost exhausted, so most of them had Qi Jiguang whose base strength was 5 points lower than him.
There is no fairness on the battlefield, so Qi Jiguang naturally showed no mercy. After hitting eighteen heavy blows in a row, he actually exhausted Xiang Zhuang's energy and fainted.
【Ding Dong, Jiwu 99 (+3) Qi Jiguang, defeated and captured Xiang Zhuang alive with Jiwu 104 (+5), the base force is permanently +1, and the current base force of Qi Jiguang has increased to 100 (+4); 】
After capturing Xiangzhuang alive, Qi Jiguang was also very tired, but Jiwu's substitute allowed him to recover his physical strength, so he continued to kill Zhu Di, but was blocked by brothers Zheng Yuchun and Zheng Yulin.
Zheng Yuchun Brothers Zheng Yulin were able to rival Ao Shen in their heyday, but now they are also seriously injured and lack physical fitness.
Qi Jiguang did not act recklessly this time, but teamed up with Ma Gui and Tan Lun, and then killed Zheng Yuchun and Zheng Yulin brothers one after another.
Among the chaos, Qi Jiguang finally found Zhu Di, but unexpectedly three generals, Chang Yuchun, Chang Mao, and Zhang Guiba, came to support him at the same time.
“Qi Jiguang, don’t hurt my lord, Chang Mao will come.”
After hearing Chang Mao's thunderous roar, Qi Jiguang's brain shut down for a few seconds. Although he didn't understand why the three people who were seriously injured and unconscious were still able to fight again, he knew that he would be able to fight against any of the three. There was no doubt that he would die, so he ran away very decisively.
But while running, Qi Jiguang suddenly realized. After all, Chang Yuchun, Chang Mao, and Zhang Guiba were so seriously injured, how could their momentum not be affected at all? He could be just bluffing to scare himself away.
After Qi Jiguang reacted, he turned back to fight back. The wounded soldiers of the Ming army who were about to reach their limit along the way died in Qi Jiguang's hands one after another. No one could stop Qi Jiguang's attack.
Seeing Qi Jiguang come back to kill again, Zhu Di, Chang Yuchun and others will change their expressions, knowing that the bluffing plan has been seen through, but at this point, there is no other option but to fight to the death.
Zhu Di took the three seriously injured war gods to fight Qi Jiguang, but was shot away by Qi Jiguang as soon as the battle started.
Qi Jiguang was determined to capture Zhu Di alive. After all, Zhu Di was more valuable alive, so there was no killer.
Three generals, Chang Yuchun, Chang Mao, and Zhang Guiba, felt sad and angry when they saw Zhu Di being injured by Qi Jiguang. However, the injuries were too serious and they could not display their strength at all. In addition, their skills and physical strength were exhausted, so even if the three of them were Together they still lost to Qi Jiguang.
Qi Jiguang, on the other hand, was extremely happy. After all, these three people could kill him instantly, but now they were easily suppressed by him when they joined forces. Although it was a bit bullying, it felt so good.
Qi Jiguang was determined to capture all three generals Chang Yuchun, Chang Mao, and Zhang Guiba alive, just like he had captured Xiang Zhuang alive. However, he failed to grasp the balance and struck too hard, directly beating the seriously injured Chang Yuchun to death.
【Ding dong, Qi Jiguang with base strength 100 (+4), kill Chang Yuchun Xiangzhuang with base strength 105, base strength is permanently +1, current base strength of Qi Jiguang has increased to 101 (+5);】
Chang Mao was devastated when Chang Yuchun died. After all, he was his biological father, and the two parties were still connected by flesh and blood.
【Ding dong, Chang Yuchun died in battle, the 'Bone Connected' effect 2 was activated, Chang Mao's base weapon was permanently +1, and his force +5, Chang Mao's current force increased to...】
【Ding dong, Qi Jiguang killed Chang Yuchun, and formed a grudge against Chang Mao for killing his father. The two parties have reached the status of "undying" characters. As long as they can kill each other to take revenge, they will be rewarded with a permanent base force +1; 】
Chang Mao's sudden outburst shocked Qi Jiguang. He didn't know where Chang Mao got the strength, but he knew that he would die if he stayed, so he ran away again without looking back.
Chang Mao followed Qi Jiguang in pursuit, but whenever he was about to catch up, there would always be Qin soldiers and Qin Lai to stop him, and he would naturally kill him directly.
Chang Mao killed Wang Shenzhi, Wang Chao, and Wang Shenjun in succession, and with only nearly a hundred men, he repelled the attack of 3,000 Qin troops. No more than 200 Qin soldiers died directly in his hands, but he also Qi Jiguang's traces were completely lost, which also meant that he could no longer avenge his father.
In the distance, Qi Jiguang saw the murderous Chang Mao, and knew that he could not capture Zhu Di if he could not deal with him. However, Chang Mao was too strong, and he could not get past Chang Mao to capture Zhu Di. In addition, Ming army reinforcements were approaching, and the people in the city were However, the Ming army still had 300 people, so he had no time to continue fighting.
With desperation, Qi Jiguang had no choice but to give up on capturing Zhu Di alive and asked to his left and right: "Have all the kerosene been brought here?"
“Informing the Governor, four hundred barrels of kerosene have been brought here.”
“Four hundred barrels? That’s enough.”
After saying that, Qi Jiguang decisively ordered to fire kerosene at the streets where the Ming army was guarding, and fired all the rockets, which instantly turned the entire Ganyu City into a sea of flames.
After setting off the rockets, Qi Jiguang led his army to withdraw from Ganyu City. After counting the number of people, it was found that only 23,000 people were left.
In other words, against this mere 1,700 Ming army, the Qin army actually suffered nearly 4,000 casualties, and also killed many generals such as Wang Chongshi and Wang Shenzhi.
“Alas, Commander-in-Chief, I will never have the face to see you again.”
Qi Jiguang said to himself with a wry smile when he arrived, It can be said that, but the war is not over after all, he still has to lead his army to support Zhou Yu in the naval battle.
Before leaving, Qi Jiguang glanced at Ganyu City, which had turned into a sea of flames, and sneered to himself: "Zhu Di, since you are not willing to be captured, then you can turn into ashes together with Ganyu City."
What Qi Jiguang didn't know was that Chang Mao's injuries were no less serious than his father's. After another outbreak, he had no strength to fight again. So if he had charged again at that time, not only would he have been able to capture Zhu Di alive, but he could also have captured Chang Mao Zhang Guiba alive. .
But Qi Jiguang was frightened by Chang Mao and did not dare to continue to kill him, so he directly set fire to burn Zhu Di to death, but this gave Zhu Di a glimmer of hope.
“Ding dong, Zhu Di’s skill ‘Blessed Lord’ is activated…”
