Seeing that Zhou Ben was determined to rush to Xuancheng to rescue King Yang Long of Wu, Zhou Ye hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly:

"Among these more than 6,000 soldiers, many of them were wounded. After several days of running around, sleeping in the open, some soldiers were already sick, and their combat power would still be discounted. Those who besieged Xuancheng were all the main military forces of the Wei people, and they would continue to fight, but I'm afraid they would die for a lifetime..."

Zhou Ben's second son Zhou Hongzuo was really unwilling to continue participating in this war that was no different from suicide, so he immediately came out and continued:

"Yes! Dad, we don't want to save our lives. What's the point? Mr. Xu has all died... The king of Wu, who is in power, is just an incompetent child. Perhaps within one or two days, Xuancheng will be defeated by the Wei army. Let's take a step back, even if the capital can still survive for a while, but a large area of ​​territory has fallen and Wu is destined to perish. Why should we fight to the death?"

"Shut up! What kind of bastard are you talking about??"

When Zhou Ben heard this, he was furious. He stopped Zhou Hongzuo with a sudden shout, his eyes widened, and then cursed:

"As a military general, Isn't it the responsibility of serving the Lord loyally and serving the Lord? Since I have followed the First Lord to build this country and country, I should sacrifice my life and resist foreign enemies. Why don't you resist the officials and salary? Wearing this armor will not allow you to be greedy for life and fear death!

My Zhou Ben's race should also be a loyal and courageous man. If you say anything more fearless and timid in the fight that disrupts the morale of the army, I will kill you, an unfilial son, with your own hands to clear the door!"

Zhou Hongzuo saw Zhou Ben's beard and halberd open, and his eyes were full of evil spirits. He realized that his father said he wanted to kill someone by drawing a knife, which was definitely not an angry word for a moment... He was so shocked that his face turned pale and he immediately fell silent. Zhou Ye lowered his head and said nothing, knowing that his father had already rushed to Xuancheng with the will of death, and there would be no possibility of changing his mind...

Zhou Ben's anger gradually faded, he straightened his body again, then turned around, and walked towards the position where the soldiers gathered and rectified.

Zhou Ye and Zhou Hongzuo believed that it would be a pity to rescue Xuancheng, which would undoubtedly be a death sentence... Zhou himself had experienced many battles, and of course he knew very well that there was almost no chance of winning in the next battle. Moreover, even if he luckily broke through the siege and entered the city to join the defenders, he would probably still be unable to withstand the fierce attacks of the elite troops of the Wei Dynasty.

But as a general of the Wu army, it is not natural to fight to the death in the face of national crisis?

This is Zhou Ben's insistence. Although he was just a pure soldier and did not have the talent to contribute to the world, he did not know whether it would be more beneficial to the Wu Kingdom if Xu Wen had given power to rule... But the current king was still the descendant of the first lord Yang Xingmi. Now that the capital of the country is about to be destroyed, he is loyal and righteous, even if he goes through fire and water, he will still be willing to refuse!

The wounded soldiers who were resting in the dense forest sank on the ground in groups of three or three, and most of them were covered in blood. Although the injured had been bandaged and treated, they still couldn't help but moan in pain... But seeing the main general Zhou Ben walking in great strides, the soldiers resting on the spot stood up one after another, and the wounded soldiers supported each other and stood up tremblingly... In just a moment, thousands of eyes gathered towards Zhou Ben.

Zhou Ben looked around, glanced at the figures around him, and suddenly shouted loudly:

"I, Zhou Ben and the soldiers have been killed many times, and they are the friendship between each other with their lives. You naturally know my character! If you don't say secret words, our army will continue to go north and will not go long before they will kill to Xuancheng. The Wei army gathered there, and it is very likely that after that battle, all of us will die in battle.

Valley

However, the enemy troops were at the city, and the soldiers and civilians were everywhere... Especially the King of Wu was in danger. We are not only a real man who was in such a world, but also a veteran who served the country. When the king was in trouble, it was related to the life and death of the country. How could we beg for life? It was time for us to fight to the death, even if we were killed at the city, we would die, and it would be just a killing man!

It is me who will lead the soldiers to fight this life-and-death battle. We have no choice but to take a step earlier and a few steps later on the road to the underworld. We will finally be able to meet each other. We can still take care of each other... I will go to the battle to the death with the Wei army that was besieged and claimed. Are you willing to go with me again?"

When the soldiers under Zhou Ben looked at each other after hearing this, they could not help but show panic and sadness on their faces... But this can be called a big wave of slaughter and the soldiers who were already frustrated and disheartened, and were unwilling to continue fighting with the Wei army to kill their lives, had already escaped one after another a while ago... The soldiers of the Wu army who still followed Zhou Ben and fought to this day were all his hard-core direct descendants. Even though they knew that the chance of victory was small and their chances were very slim, they would still follow their own generals to die.

After all, Zhou Ben would set an example every time he fought, leading by example, and he would lead the way. Until now, he was wounded and had no skin. He was generous and brave. His biggest hobby was to drink and talk to others, and he was always kind and generous, and he often easily got along with the soldiers in the army.

So after hearing Zhou Benzhen's deafening shout, although many soldiers present felt sad, they shouted loudly one after another, and countless voices gathered together, and the sound was like a tide, which seemed very tragic:

"Abide by the orders of the King of Xiping!", "Go to Xuancheng to help the king and save the lord!", "Our life has long been decided to entrust it to the general!", "Isn't it just fighting for life? Those who are afraid of death will not do this business. It is the time to serve the general. Who is willing to be a coward who escapes in the last battle? "......

Zhou Ben saw the many soldiers around him responding loudly. Even though he was a descendant of Zhou Meilang, the Eastern Wu of the late Han Dynasty, his appearance and temperament were completely opposite to each other. It was even more like Zhang Fei, who was as fierce as a fire in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"... But at this time, Zhou Ben suddenly felt a heat flowing into his heart. His eyes seemed to be a little rosy, and he sighed inconspicuously...

However, the next moment, Zhou Ben turned around suddenly and picked up the long knife inserted between the soil. He strides towards Xuancheng in the north, and then shouted loudly:

"All the soldiers follow me to rescue the king, and fight with the Wei army happily for a while!"

Even though there are tens of millions of people, I am going... Zhou Ben led more than 6,000 soldiers to travel out of the dense forest and continued to go north. The ranks also showed the tragic spirit of going to die. However, the states and prefectures were lost, and the capital of Wu State was Xuancheng, and there was no other reinforcements to be counted on. The lonely army led by him had experienced several battle formations before, and their whereabouts had been basically controlled by the Wei army, and there was no chance to attack and rob the camp...

So when Zhou Ben led his troops out of the dense forest and continued to march north through Jingde County, scouts immediately reported to the main military forces of the Wei Dynasty who besieged the capital of Wu... Located in the center of the camp located in the south of Xuancheng, the Wei Dynasty conscripted the Wu capital to recruit Wang Jingren in the large tent. He heard from the military academy that the Wu army in Zhou Ben's army would soon come to the military situation. After a long time of silence, he couldn't help but sigh and said:

"Among the comrades who served the first lord, Li Shenfuzhi used troops and planned and used strategies. He should be the leader. Tian Feng and I were good at commanding the cavalry. When it comes to controlling strings and riding and shooting, we first recommended Mi Zhicheng... However, Zhou Benyong was not good at fighting in the infantry battles, and was not afraid of death. He was also one of the top tiger generals in the army at that time... It was really impermanent. His original comrades-in-arms have become enemies on the battlefield that fight for life and death..."

After all, Wang Jingren was subjected to the unreasonable expedition of the previous generation of king Yang Wo, so he had to leave in order to protect himself; while Mi Zhicheng was because Xu Wen wanted to eliminate dissidents, which caused his family to be destroyed, and he could only defect with hatred... But they and Zhou Benben were colleagues, and they had no grudges or grudges with each other. On the contrary, Wang Jingren and Mi Zhicheng admired Zhou Ben, who had never spared their lives in fighting fiercely and fiercely.

However, after feeling emotion, Wang Jingren's face gradually became solemn. He slowly stood up and said in a deep voice:

"After all, it's a thing of the past. I'll send orders to dispatch troops and horses to form a south side. It's time to meet old friends and friends for a while..."
