Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 565. The Last Night

"General Zhu, how are you?"

Seeing that Zhu Shu was shot by an arrow and had to retreat to the back, Wei Ping showed concern for him.

"It's okay, no serious injuries, but I'm afraid I won't be able to hold a weapon with my right hand for a while."

Zhu Shu felt his right arm and shook his head. He could feel that if he exerted any force on his muscles, he would hit the wound. He was afraid that he would not be able to hold a weapon with his right hand until the wound healed.

"In that case, General Zhu will command from behind, and I will hold off the Han army in the front."

Wei Ping nodded, and without saying a word went to the city wall to take over Zhu Shu's position, while being on guard against hidden arrows from under the city wall.

However, Wei Ping was still under great pressure after Zhu Shu's attack. Bao Yi shot him with two arrows out of the blue. If Wei Ping had not been on guard, he would have been shot to death by Bao Yi.

"General Shamoke, do you dare to lead the troops to attack again?"

Bao Yi looked at Shamoko beside him. Although Shamoko was wearing the standard leather armor of the Han army, his exposed skin was still painted with various patterns. Shamoko himself said that these were from his tribe, similar to the patterns used for identification.

"Okay. Guys, come with me to break through this pass! When the Grand Commander wakes up and sees that we have taken this pass, he will definitely reward us handsomely!"

Shamoke waved the caltrop in his hand. Although he had studied Chinese culture for several years, he was still a bit rough in his bones.

However, his encouragement, which sounded very vulgar, was also extremely exciting for the Han army who could not hold back. Led by Shamoke, the two thousand reserve troops set up two more ladders on the top of the city wall and rushed up one after another.

Originally, Feng Xi's task to Bao Yi was to harass and to make the soldiers and Hao Zhao at Yique Pass as miserable as possible. However, Bao Yi saw that the Wei army seemed to be on the verge of collapse, so he decided to take Yique Pass in one fell swoop.

"Haha, you Wei general, prepare for your death!"

Shamoke led the charge to the top of the city wall. When he saw Wei Ping drawing his sword and slashing at him, he just let out a strange cry and waved his caltrop to fight with Wei Ping.

Wei Ping himself was not a person famous for his martial arts, and he was difficult to deal with before because of Shamoke's immense strength and brute force. Later, after joining Jingzhou, he also exchanged ideas with many generals, and his martial arts improved. He barely broke through to the first-class level, and was basically at the same level as Wang Shuang.

Wei Ping only blocked three powerful sticks from Shamoke before his arms ached and he was unable to defend himself.

"Hehe, if this is the only ability you have as a Wei general, then I, Shamoke, should be the one to take the credit!"

Shamoke howled and swung his stick towards Wei Ping's head.

"Den!"

Wei Ping gritted his teeth and used all his strength to barely block Shamoke's stick, but the sword in his hand was smashed directly into the darkness under the city and disappeared.

"My life is over!"

Wei Ping looked around and saw that the other Wei soldiers were being beaten back by the Han army that had climbed up, and they had no chance to support him. Zhu Shu had just been injured, and coming over would only mean he would be killed. He was afraid that his life would be lost here.

"Whoosh-!"

Suddenly, a sound of breaking air was heard in the air and hit Shamoke on the forehead.

"drink!"

Shamoke saw a glimmer of light flying towards him from the corner of his eye, so he had no choice but to give up Wei Ping and pull back his caltrop bone to block the thing.

With the sound of metal falling to the ground, the hidden weapon made a crisp sound when it hit the stone ground, and then its true form was revealed under the light of the torch.

“Wang Shuang?!”

Wei Ping was overjoyed when he saw the meteor hammer on the ground. He thought Wang Shuang had fallen asleep due to severe internal injuries, but he didn't expect Wang Shuang to be able to detect something was wrong and save him.

"You man, do you dare to fight me?"

Wang Shuang, wearing armor and holding a broadsword, appeared at the stairs, with no sign of injury at all. Shamoke was a little nervous. He knew Wang Shuang, and according to what the Grand Commander said, he was probably only 50-50 against him, or even at a disadvantage. If Wei Ping was added, he would probably be in trouble.

"Clang clang clang!"

Just then, Bao Yi sounded the horn to call back his troops. Shamoke spat, and led the Han army to retreat from the city wall while confronting the Wei army.

The Wei army no longer had the ability to retain their power at this moment, and could only watch as Shamoke was the last to leave, and then retreated with the ladder.

"Huh... I am so tired, Old Wang."

Wang Shuang waited until Shamoke left and the Han army withdrew even the ladders before he breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.

"General Wang, you...?"

Wei Ping saw Wang Shuang's performance and looked at him with a probing look.

"Don't think about it. I am indeed injured. I was just trying to stay strong. If I really fight with that big guy, I'm afraid he will hit me with a few sticks and I will spit blood."

Wang Shuang shook his head. He had real internal injuries and was breathing hard. If he really fought with Shamoke, he would definitely not be his opponent. Fortunately, the Han army was scared away by him, so at least Yique Pass was saved tonight.

"How did General Wang come up with the idea of ​​supporting the city wall?"

Zhu Shu finished bandaging his right arm and asked Wang Shuang while his arm was in a sling.

"Hey, how should I know? General Hao asked me to come."

Wang Shuang smiled innocently and scratched his head.

"Alas, hasn't Bodao rested yet? How can his body bear it?"

Wei Ping was a little worried. Hao Zhao had hardly rested for a whole day, dragging his sick body. Although Wei Ping didn't know medicine, he knew that this was definitely not good for Hao Zhao's health.

"Just now, General Hao's guards came to me and asked me to come to the city wall to assist the two generals. If I see a Han general, I don't have to force myself to attack him. I can just scare him away with the meteor hammer and words. If he is not scared, he may ask me to fight to the death."

Wang Shuang said it in a casual manner, but it already contained his determination to die.

"Alas... Now we can only continue to hold on. As long as the general comes back, everything will be fine."

Wei Ping sighed. Now Cao Zhen's army was the last pillar in their hearts. No matter whether Cao Zhen's coming would be of any use, for them, this matter could serve as a belief to support them to continue defending the city.

Now it was impossible for Xiahou Mao to send reinforcements to Yique Pass. Because Xiahou Mao only had 10,000 people at the moment, and it was a bit difficult to use them to defend Luoyang, so he couldn't gamble that he could defend Yique Pass.

Hao Zhao and the others also understood Xiahou Mao. After all, if the emperor heard about the safety of Luoyang, he would be unhappy. So although the situation at Yique Pass was difficult, everyone had no regrets and fought to the death for the Wei Dynasty. This was the reason.
