Chapter 328 Chu Jiang is out of strength
With the addition of the Japanese army, the pressure of Western Chu's attack on Xi'an City was instantly divided by half. The pressure felt reduced and they suddenly felt relieved.
Qi Jianshu put down his bow and arrow, picked up his spear, and flew in front of Chu Xi.
Xiao Yang Taiyuan suffered internal injuries, with scratches on his arms and legs. He was temporarily unable to fight with others and could only watch the fight from the side.
The other soldiers who were at the front of the attack on the city couldn't help but feel frightened when they saw the soldiers of the Great Zhou.
Chu Xi and Tang Yuhuai's words of encouragement boosted the morale of the defenders, making them ready to fight to the death.
When a person is not afraid of death, what else can scare them?
So even when facing an army of 110,000, all he saw was a sea of heads, and no one retreated.
Chu Xi didn't waste any words. Under the pretext of talking to Zhou Yichen, he repeated his previous actions and knocked the man unconscious without saying a word.
Zheng Hao, "..." The prince's trick really works every time.
His Highness was the same. Even though he had suffered a loss before, he still habitually moved closer when he heard the prince's shouting.
"Escort His Highness back to the capital."
Zheng Hao was stunned.
"Let's go quickly, it may be too late if we don't leave now." Chu Xi remembered the plot line in the original book. Four cities, including Xi'an and Xianyang, were captured and fell.
Up to now, everything that should have happened has happened. Even if there are some deviations, it is basically the same.
In this situation, she could not guarantee that Xi'an City could be defended, nor could she guarantee that Zhou Yichen would not be captured by the enemy!
Since there is no guarantee, the only thing she can do is to find a way to get Zheng Hao and others to take Zhou Yichen back to the capital and not stay here any longer.
"What's going on?" Tang Yuhuai killed an enemy and turned around to see His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan fainted in his white arms with a puzzled look on his face.
Chu Xi did not answer Tang Yuhuai's question, but turned to Zheng Hao for instructions.
"I entrust His Highness to you. Please be sure to protect His Highness. On the way...try to feed His Highness sleeping pills and make him fall asleep until we return to the capital."
Chu Xi knew Zhou Yichen's temper. If he came to his senses on the way, he would turn around and go back to Xi'an without saying a word.
But by then, Chu Xi could not guarantee whether Xi'an City would still be the territory of the Great Zhou.
So, she doesn't want Zhou Yichen to come back.
"Yes." Zheng Hao gathered all the people he brought out from Prince Yan's Mansion, and only more than twenty people were left.
"Are there only these few people left?" Chu Xi was surprised.
She remembered that Zhou Yichen brought no less than a hundred people from Beijing, but now there are only this many left.
These people are not ordinary trained soldiers, but carefully cultivated secret guards.
Training a secret guard is much more difficult than training a soldier.
"These are all that are left after bringing them out from the capital." Zheng Hao lowered his eyes, revealing a hint of loss and sadness.
There was a huge group of people when we left Beijing, but now there are only so few left.
War is indeed a terrible thing.
It devours human lives. People on the battlefield seem particularly worthless. In the blink of an eye, they are gone. Some people's bodies are torn into pieces, and some are unrecognizable.
The hometown where I came to join the army is too far away, and I may not even be able to return home.
Chu Xi was worried that this number of people was not enough, and Zhou Hanjin and others would harm Zhou Yichen on the way, so he selected ten spies planted here by the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and had them accompany Zheng Hao to send Zhou Yichen back to Beijing.
"Prince, please take care of yourself. I will definitely escort His Highness back to the capital."
Chu Xi smiled and said, "I'll leave the person to you."
Zheng Hao gathered everyone and took the unconscious Zhou Yichen back to the city.
Before leaving, I went to the inn and asked the military doctor for a bottle of coma medicine.
To ensure that His Highness will not wake up on the way, let alone return to Xi'an City.
If they rode faster and traveled day and night, they would be able to return to the capital in less than two days.
Before leaving, they went to the stables and rode away more than thirty horses.
These war horses are all top-quality horses with excellent leg strength. It is no problem for them to ride them at full speed and rush back to the capital day and night.
When Tang Yuhuai saw him watching Zheng Hao and others taking Zhou Yichen away, he understood what he meant.
It turned out that Qi Bai was worried that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan would be in danger if he continued to stay in Xi'an City, so he suddenly knocked someone out and asked Zheng Hao to take His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan away.
"Are you worried that Xi'an will fall?" Tang Yuhuai asked Chu Xi while killing the enemy.
Chu Xi's eyes were calm. "There are 100,000 troops in the northern grasslands attacking Xiyang. Once Xiyang falls, they will penetrate the mountains and forests, and after they reach Xianyang City, they will block the way. Then, you won't be able to leave even if you want to."
Therefore, regardless of whether Xi'an City will fall or not, it is always better to make preparations early.
When the situation is bad, it will be too late to try to save yourself at the last minute!
We don’t know where the army is, so it’s better to make arrangements in advance than to wait for them to arrive.
"You do care about His Royal Highness Prince Yan." Tang Yuhuai sighed, "I wish you could treat me half as well as you treat His Royal Highness Prince Yan!"
Chu Xi smiled faintly when he heard this.
She thought Tang Yuhuai was just joking, so she didn't answer.
Little did he know that Tang Yuhuai was speaking from the heart under the guise of a joke. He truly envied the Third Prince for having a close friend like Qibai.
A confidant like Qi Bai is priceless and rare to come across in a century.
The city of Xi'an has been thoroughly soaked in blood. Whether on the city walls or outside the city, there are fallen corpses everywhere and blood all over the ground.
They fought from noon to dusk, and the sunset glow in the sky was like bright red blood that dyed the entire sky. The red was so dazzling that it made people feel chilled when they saw it.
"If the army doesn't arrive soon, the city of Xi'an will be impossible to defend." Yuan Qi could no longer raise his hands.
It wasn't because he was injured, but because he was so exhausted from killing so many people that he couldn't lift his arms.
His eyes were briefly absent-minded, and he muttered to himself, "Your Highness, I..."
I can’t hold on any longer.
Yuan Qi has tried his best. As the eldest prince's confidant, he did not want to embarrass the eldest prince, so he had been fighting desperately to kill the enemies. However, there were too many enemies and he could not kill them all.
Even if he had three heads and six arms, he couldn't kill them all.
Chu Xi had defeated Qi Jianshu long ago. Qi Jianshu could not hold on for less than thirty moves under his hands.
Just with Qi Jianshu as the beginning, other generals with martial arts skills started to attack Chu Xi one after another.
Chu Xi had forgotten how many people she had fought with in more than two hours, but she was sure.
Everyone who intended to defeat her was ruthlessly defeated by her, and no one dared to even think of defeating her again.
In the past two hours, she had not rested for a moment, had not drunk any water or eaten anything, and her physical strength was completely exhausted.
She was severely overdrawn after being subjected to the constant battles.
She held the hilt of the sword, the tip of the sword stuck in the dust, and gasped loudly.
"Chu Jiang has no strength left, take this opportunity to kill him!" An unknown Japanese general shouted.
"Charge! Let's go together and kill Chu Jiang!"
"Destroy Chu Jiang and take down Xi'an in one fell swoop! We will win this battle!"
