The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Dongfang Shuo didn't know that when the spies went to investigate the situation, Zhou Hanchi's army had not arrived yet, so they naturally had not yet set up an ambush at that time.

Times change.

When Zhou Hanchi learned that Dongfang Shuo had been chasing the 3,000 soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he immediately ordered the 3,000 men to lead Dongfang Shuo into the Grand Canyon, while he ambushed him at both ends.

Dongfang Shuo shouted angrily: "Yu Liang, what's going on? Didn't we agree that there would be no ambush?"

Yu Liang was also panicked: "The spies we sent out earlier said there was no ambush. The second wave of spies haven't come back yet. Maybe... they've been killed."

That's why no news came.

It was mainly because Dongfang Shuo was eager for quick success and wanted to capture those 3,000 people. He attacked too quickly and did not give them enough time to obtain intelligence.

But Yu Liang didn't dare to say this.

Dongfang Shuo looked around and saw two high cliffs on both sides - he couldn't climb up, and there were Northern Zhou soldiers in front and behind - he had to kill those people before he could rush out, and he was immediately frightened.

But he took a deep breath and calmed himself: "Pass the order down, tell everyone not to panic, I will definitely be able to lead everyone out of the siege."

Dongfang Shuo was not saying this to comfort others, but he believed that Chen Cuo would never let him go into danger and would come to rescue him sooner or later.

Perhaps, Chen Cuo deliberately put him in danger to lure Zhou Hanchi over and then wipe out Zhou Hanchi's army in one fell swoop.

In order to prevent him from revealing any clues, Chen Cuo did not greet him in advance - or he had not had time to greet him yet.

Dongfang Shuo tried to think positively, it must be like this. Not only did he have Chen Cuo as his strategist, but he also had Chu Runxue behind him, and Chu Runxue would never let him lose.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Shuo calmed down a lot.

When the soldiers in front and behind came to attack, Dongfang Shuo waved his flags and shouted loudly: "Kill!"

Before surrounding Dongfang Shuo, Zhou Hanchi had already found out that Dongfang Shuo had no reinforcements.

Zhou Hanchi was bent on gaining military merit and dealing a heavy blow to Da Qi's morale. He attacked at the speed of a violent storm, rushing towards Dongfang Shuo's army, tearing apart Dongfang Shuo's neatly organized army and creating countless breakthroughs.

For a moment, the war horses neighed and the cries of killing shook the sky.

Countless people were slashed with wounds, and hot blood gushed out from the torn wounds, instantly dyeing the earth and the sky blood red.

Dongfang Shuo's 50,000 troops were attacked from the front and back by Zhou Hanchi's 150,000 troops. Dongfang Shuo was unable to break out with his soldiers and could only hold on. The final result was that fewer and fewer of his soldiers were killed, and Zhou Hanchi's encirclement was shrinking little by little.

From noon to dusk, the clouds in the sky were dyed purple by the sunlight, and looking through the gushing blood mist, the color seemed even more tragic.

This place is called Ziyun Grand Canyon.

Dongfang Shuo failed to break out, but he also did not wait for rescue. Things were completely different from what he imagined.

The Daqi flag swayed in the wind. It was a cold night with biting wind. After the blood and sweat sprayed on their bodies solidified, they were sprayed with a new round of blood and sweat, and this cycle continued until dawn the next day.

Zhou Hanchi organized a round-robin battle. He first sent 80,000 soldiers to surround and kill Dongfang Shuo's 50,000 soldiers.

When it was dark, Dongfang Shuo had not been completely captured yet, so he replaced 80,000 soldiers to rest and let the remaining 70,000 soldiers go into battle.

His soldiers could rest, but Dongfang Shuo's 50,000 soldiers had been holding on without rest, water or food.

After holding out for an afternoon and a night, Dongfang Shuo was horrified to find that there were only 20,000 people left on his side.

Zhou Hanchi's soldiers were still coming on strong. They had eaten and drunk enough and had rested well. Facing them, Dongfang Shuo's soldiers were like eggs hitting hard stones.

At this moment, Dongfang Shuo still held on to the last glimmer of hope that he would never lose and reinforcements would definitely come!

There were 20,000 soldiers, but by noon, only 10,000 were left.

Zhou Hanchi shouted at him from his horseback: "Your Highness, King Cheng, if you surrender, I will let you live!"

Surrender? Impossible!

He wanted to be a god of war and take away the Chu family's 300,000 soldiers.

If he surrenders, he will be tarnished forever and will become the object of ridicule by everyone in Daqi. No ministers will support him anymore, so how can he fight for the throne?

Dongfang Shuo gnashed his teeth, his eyes reddened: "If you have the ability, kill me, otherwise I will never surrender until I die!"

Zhou Hanchi was not polite to him. He waved his hand and said "kill". The Northern Zhou army killed Dongfang Shuo's soldiers and only 5,000 were left.

This can be considered a total annihilation of the army.

Dongfang Shuo was filled with hatred, not knowing where he had gone wrong to end up in such a situation. This was not right!

Still refusing to admit defeat and still wanting to fight his way out, he rode on his horse, looked around, feeling extremely sad.

…All his thoughts disappeared in an instant like the tide, and he only had one thought left - I want to get out alive.

Holding a big knife in hand, Dongfang Shuo summoned Yu Liang and others.

"Don't fight anymore. Protect me and rush out. If you succeed, I will definitely treat your family well. Otherwise, if we all die here, it will only make the enemy happy and will be of no use to us."

Yu Liang nodded heavily, and the other soldiers were also ready to die, and they just wanted to protect Dongfang Shuo and rush out.

Dongfang Shuo glanced at everyone's faces and said, "I will always remember your faces. I will reward your families handsomely after I return to Shengjing City. Don't worry!"

The soldiers bowed to him solemnly and said in unison: "We swear to protect His Highness and break out of the encirclement!"

Dongfang Shuo took a deep breath. Whether he could break out depended on this time. He still had five thousand soldiers who could serve as his shield and protect him as he rushed out.

Zhou Hanchi, who was riding on horseback, saw his intention and sneered: "His Royal Highness King Cheng of Daqi seems to want to rush out, but unfortunately, I want him to die."

No matter how powerful the Chu family is, they cannot protect their prince. Even if they win the battle, they have lost the war, and Emperor Daqi will not let the Chu family go.

Zhou Hanchi led his soldiers and rushed forward to block Dongfang Shuo's escape route.

Five thousand soldiers were quickly killed, leaving only two thousand.

Dongfang Shuo's body was covered in blood and his face was covered with many scars. At this moment, he could not see any sunlight. He only felt dark clouds covering the moon and the surroundings were gloomy.

He came here with the determination to win, but ended up dying here?

Unprepared and unwilling!

Dongfang Shuo felt a fishy-sweet taste rising in his throat, but he swallowed it down hard.

"Do you want to surrender, Your Highness King Cheng?" Zhou Hanchi smiled happily as he rode on the horse.

Dongfang Shuo tightly grasped the big knife in his hand. He really wanted to kill Zhou Hanchi with his own hands. He really wanted to!

The sound of horse hooves came from far away and quickly reached everyone's ears.

The smile on Zhou Hanchi's face disappeared instantly. It must be the reinforcements from Daqi. His face turned cold: "Capture Daqi and become the king, and there will be a reward of ten thousand taels!"

He must kill Dongfang Shuo before the reinforcements from Daqi arrive, and he will win this battle!
