When Ah Wu woke up, the two armies were still fighting fiercely.

The Sharpshooter Battalion is approaching step by step. The crazy counterattacks of the rebels on the left and right flanks have been withstood by the Shu army. More than half of the rebels have been injured and killed. The Chinese army's camp is crumbling. Countless corpses are piled up on the battlefield, with limbs and arms broken, mountains of blood, and hell.

The scene is nothing more than this.

Ah Wu opened his eyes and saw a veteran with a gray beard staring at him quietly.

The veteran's expression was already very tired, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked indescribably defeated. This battle that was doomed to fail had left him physically and mentally exhausted.

Seeing Ah Wu open his eyes, An Shouzhong stroked his white beard and said calmly: "Who are you? Why did you break into the formation?"

Ah Wu struggled to stand up and wanted to salute, but An Shouzhong waved his hand to stop him and said: "You are lying and talking, you are seriously injured. You are lucky enough to be able to survive from an army of ten thousand horses."

Ah Wu had no choice but to lie down and look at An Shouzhong and said: "The last general... his name is Li Chongshan. He is a lieutenant under the command of General Shi of Chang'an City. He was ordered by General Shi to deliver orders to Commander An..."

An Shouzhong did not rush to ask Shi Siming about his military orders. Instead, he looked him up and down and said, "Are you from Chang'an City?"

"yes."

"The two armies are fighting fiercely. One man dares to attack alone among the thousands of troops. General Shi has such a brave young general under his command. It is supposed that the three armies should have been mobilized long ago. Why have I never heard of you?"

Ah Wu said weakly: "The general is just an unknown person. He does some errands and odd jobs beside General Shi. Today he is forced to have no choice. If the military order cannot be passed, the general will be beheaded, so he risked his life."

Yibo.”

An Shouzhong hummed and said, "That's reasonable. What military orders does General Shi have?"

Ah Wu said: "General Shi said that today's battle was fought jointly by Li Heng and Gu Qing. It was a strategy that had been discussed long ago. The intention was to annihilate all of our 100,000 righteous troops in Tongguan while being attacked from both sides. General Shi said that the matter

It is no longer possible, so I ask Commander An to retreat quickly. The army will return to Chang'an to avoid the enemy for the time being. We will gather all the troops and horses the next day to fight the enemy at the foot of Chang'an City."

An Shouzhong frowned and said, "General Shi wants me to withdraw my troops?"

"Yes, retreat immediately, break out of the tight encirclement of the Anxi army, and preserve a little more strength for the righteous army for the future."

An Shouzhong nodded, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his old face. His eyes were tired but sharp, and he kept looking back and forth on Ah Wu's face, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more mysterious.

Then he stood up slowly, took a step back, and his voice suddenly became very soft: "Young man, tell me, who sent you?"

Ah Wu's expression showed surprise and confusion at the right time: "Shuai An, the last general was sent by General Shi."

An Shouzhong laughed loudly: "You are young, after all, you are a bit young. I am about sixty years old and have lived for most of my life. I can't fool you in front of me. To be honest, I think you are brave and courageous. I

I can spare your life, but if you are willing to surrender, I can pass on my lifelong skills to you."

Ah Wu was still confused and said: "Why did Commander An say this? If you don't believe the identity of the general, the identity token in the general's arms can prove that what he said is true."

An Shouzhong smiled and shook his head: "I don't believe in identity tokens. You can pick them up anywhere. Since you are someone close to General Shi, I just want to ask you, what is the name of General Shi's favorite horse?"

Ah Wu pursed her lips and couldn't say a word.

Being ordered to do so at the last moment, there was no time to fully prepare. Ah Wu's purpose was not to be an undercover agent, but to assassinate him. There was no need to make too many preparations. It was enough to sneak into An Shouzhong's side.

An Shouzhong's voice became softer and softer: "Young man, I see that you are not very old, but you are more courageous than I have ever seen in my life. Could it be that you were sent by the Anxi Army? There are many heroes around Gu Qing, and it is difficult for our righteous army to have such a powerful enemy.

great cause……"

Ah Wu knew that there was no point in persisting in deception, so he said in a hoarse voice: "How...how did you see it?"

An Shouzhong sighed: "I have lived for most of my life. If I don't even have this ability to tell people, my life will be in vain. What's more important is that I have been with Shi Siming for many years. What kind of people are there around him?

No one knows better than me. Your performance in breaking into the enemy's formation is too brave. It is impossible for Shi Siming to have someone like you by his side. This is your biggest flaw."

Ah Wu had no expression on his face and said nothing.

Unexpectedly, the flaw was that I was too good...

An Shouzhong sighed sadly and said: "It's a bit sad to say that I can see that your flaw is because your talents are withering because you believe in our righteous teachers. It is impossible for young heroes like you to appear. Haha, the situation is really over and the sun is declining."

The tone is full of pessimism. The situation on the battlefield at this time has fully demonstrated that the rebels' strength has declined rapidly and there is not much time left.

As soon as he finished speaking, the bodyguard beside An Shouzhong suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath, and placed numerous horizontal knives on Ah Wu's neck, making him unable to move.

Ah Wu didn't want to move, he was still waiting for the opportunity. As long as he didn't die, anything was possible.

An Shouzhong stared at his face, shook his head and said, "It's a pity that such a talented person is an enemy. It would be great if I could use him..."

One of the guards asked: "Shuai An, do you want to kill him?"

An Shouzhong hesitated for a moment and said, "Young junior, would you like..."

Before he finished speaking, Ah Wu said quickly: "I don't want to."

An murderous intent flashed in An Shouzhong's eyes: "Since you don't want to surrender, don't blame me for being cruel."

…………

The war drums rumbled, the horns whined, and the Marksman Battalion once again advanced hundreds of steps.

The rebels had to retreat while resisting, but the Chinese army's flag remained firmly planted in place.

Sun Jiushi stood in front of the sharpshooting battalion. The soldiers of the sharpshooting battalion beside him kept firing, loading, changing positions, and advancing. However, Sun Jiushi just followed the team forward numbly, his eyes fixed on it.

The handsome flag not far ahead.

It stands to reason that when the two armies are fighting, it is impossible for the commander and the commander to be so close to the forward fighting position. However, at this moment, the rebels are retreating steadily. The sharpshooting battalion is advancing rapidly and has defeated half of the rebel army.

The handsome flag was inevitably exposed to Sun Jiushi's sight.

Although he was in sight, the rebel flag was still beyond the range of the flintlock. Sun Jiushi was a little anxious. He had already seen Ah Wu break into the rebel camp and saw the white-bearded veteran suddenly turn his face.

The guards drew their swords and held Ah Wu's neck.

Sun Jiushi was a little disappointed. It seemed that Ah Wu had failed and his attempt to assassinate the enemy commander was in vain.

But Sun Jiushi was a little unwilling. He was very confident in his marksmanship. If he could advance within the shooting range, he would be sure to kill the white-bearded veteran with one shot.

After gesturing the distance between the two sides, Sun Jiushi blinked and then shouted: "Come here, please ask General Ma Sui to come here quickly. We have important matters to discuss."

Soon Ma Sui, who was covered in blood and bruises, rode up on his horse. Ma Sui was already very tired and suffered countless injuries. At this critical moment of the war, Ma Sui could not stop until the rebels retreated. He was killing until his brain was numb.

We can only continue.

"If you have something to say, tell me quickly. I'm just a breath away." Ma Sui breathed heavily.

Sun Jiushi pointed to the rebel flag in front and said: "General Ma, let's do something big together... Have you seen that white-bearded veteran?"

Ma Sui glanced at it and said, "I saw it, what's it like?"

"He is the rebel commander An Shouzhong. As long as he is killed, the rebels will be completely defeated, and the soldiers will be able to reduce countless casualties."

Ma Sui took a closer look and said, "It's a bit far. What do you think?"

Sun Jiushi said with a smile: "General Ma mobilizes one or two thousand cavalry to charge towards the handsome flag. My cavalry follows closely behind. There is no need to rush into the enemy's formation. As long as the distance is close, when you charge, I will kill that flag with one shot."

Kill the old guy."

Ma Sui pondered for a moment and said, "How confident are you?"

Sun Jiushi chuckled and said, "It's just a matter of luck. I'm not sure, but it's worth a try. What does General Ma think?"

Ma Sui's answer was very cheerful and he said without hesitation: "Okay, try your luck. The ugly words are ahead. My subordinates will only charge for one mile and withdraw immediately after one mile. I can't bet the lives of the soldiers on this."

Something I’m not sure about.”

Sun Jiushi calculated the distance and said: "One mile is enough, it is already within two hundred steps."

Ma Sui nodded, turned his horse's head, and dispatched two thousand cavalry from the flank.

Sun Jiushi also got on the horse, carefully checked his flintlock gun, and then nodded to Ma Sui. Ma Sui raised the halberd in his hand, faced the rebel army, and shouted: "Brothers, follow me and charge once, teach the rebels."

Thieves, let’s see the power of our Anxi Army!”

The exhausted two thousand cavalrymen cheered up and responded loudly: "Kill!"

Two thousand cavalry formed a formation and charged towards the rebel center.

The front line of the rebels was entirely composed of a row of shield soldiers. The sharpshooting battalion was too powerful. They could not advance and retreat. They could only resist passively with their shields and retreated steadily.

Seeing that the Anxi Army suddenly changed their tactics and launched a frontal charge with two thousand cavalry, the rebels were shocked and retreated one after another. Then, the sky was full of arrows and they shot at the Anxi Army cavalry.

Sun Jiushi hung at the end of the cavalry and followed Ma Sui's cavalry for almost a mile. Then he suddenly reined in his horse, raised his flintlock gun, and calmly aimed at An Shouzhong, who was under the commander's banner.

Adjusting his breathing, he allowed the rebel arrows to hit his armor, making a clanking sound. His ribs suddenly felt numb. Sun Jiushi groaned. He knew that an arrow should have hit him, but it didn't matter. At this moment,

He wants to do something big, and if it is done well, it will be a great achievement.

Holding his breath, when he and the gun became one, Sun Jiushi suddenly pulled the trigger.

boom!

Just after Bai Yan was promoted, An Shouzhong, who was under the commander's banner, was shot in the shoulder and fell to the ground in pain.

An Shouzhong's personal guards were pressing Ah Wu with their knives and were about to chop off his head. Suddenly something happened, and the guards were shocked. For a moment, they did not even bother to kill Ah Wu. More than a dozen personal guards subconsciously cut An Shouzhong's head off.

Shouzhong stood in the middle and protected the coach with his own body.

At this moment, Ah Wu, who was seriously injured, suddenly opened his eyes, stood up and rushed towards An Shouzhong. One of the guards was startled, and he raised his knife to strike. Ah Wu ducked sideways and grabbed the guard's wrist with one hand.

, with the other hand, he grabbed the Hengdao from the guard's hand. With the Hengdao in his hand, he turned back and slashed, causing the guard to fall to the ground.

The whole set of movements was so smooth that he had practiced it countless times. Ah Wu seemed to have been born just for this moment in his life.

A dozen other guards rushed forward, but Ah Wu slashed with his backhand. The guards subconsciously dodged, and then saw a burst of sword light that filled the sky. Ah Wu's whole body was hidden in the sword light, with his feet
