Chapter 1626

However, war is always cruel. In one battle, Zhao Yun was unfortunately seriously injured and besieged by the enemy on an isolated mountain. His subordinates fought to the death, attempting to rescue him, but the number of enemy troops was too great, and they fell into a bitter struggle.

Zhao Yun lay between the mountain rocks, watching the clouds drifting in the sky, his thoughts complex. He knew his time might be running out. But he did not regret it, because he knew he was fighting for his faith and ideals, for his country and people; this was his mission and responsibility.

"General, we will definitely save you!" A soldier's voice rang in Zhao Yun's ear; he turned his head and saw a young and firm face. That was one of his trusted subordinates, a brave and fearless soldier.

"No, don't worry about me." Zhao Yun shook his head and said weakly, "You must preserve your strength and continue to fight. I cannot become your burden."

"General!" The soldiers shouted in unison, their eyes filled with tears. They were unwilling to abandon their general, unwilling to let him face death alone.

But Zhao Yun had already made his decision. He knew he could no longer continue to fight, while the soldiers' lives still had more value. He would rather sacrifice himself than let them die.

"Obey orders!" Zhao Yun shouted with his last bit of strength, "You must retreat immediately and find an opportunity to converge with the main force. I, Zhao Yun, have fought on the battlefield all my life and have never retreated. Even if I die today, I have no shame before heaven and earth!"

Not long after the soldiers retreated, the enemy discovered Zhao Yun's location, and a group of enemy soldiers quickly surrounded the isolated mountain. Seeing Zhao Yun alone and seriously injured, their confidence soared, and they prepared to capture this famous general alive.

"Hmph, Zhao Yun, you have finally fallen into my hands today!" The enemy general walked up with a cold sneer, looking at Zhao Yun lying on the ground, his eyes full of triumph.

Although Zhao Yun was seriously injured, his eyes remained sharp as a sword. He looked coldly at the enemy general, his voice low but full of power: "If you want to kill, then kill; why say so much!"

"Kill you? Wouldn't that be too easy for you?" The enemy general sneered, "I want to capture you alive and take you back, so that everyone can see how the hero in their hearts has fallen into my hands!"

Zhao Yun smiled slightly, fearless: "I, Zhao Yun, have lived my life upright and have never feared anyone. Even if I die today, I have no shame before heaven and earth. How can you petty people understand my aspirations?"

The enemy general was intimidated by Zhao Yun's momentum and was speechless for a time. He was annoyed and shouted at his subordinates: "Tie him up for me and take him back to the camp!"

However, at this moment, the sound of rapid hoofbeats came. It turned out to be one of Zhao Yun's loyal subordinates; he learned that Zhao Yun was besieged and came to rescue him alone.

"General, I am here!" The subordinate shouted, waving the long spear in his hand, and charged toward the enemy.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yun felt both moved and worried. He knew he was no longer able to fight and did not want this loyal subordinate to fall into danger as well.

"Go quickly! Don't worry about me!" Zhao Yun shouted with all his might.

But the subordinate seemed not to hear, only caring about fighting the enemy. Although his martial arts were high, the enemy was numerous, and he quickly fell into a bitter struggle.

Zhao Yun was anxious; he knew he could not just watch his subordinate die. Thus, he endured the pain and struggled to stand up.

"Today, even if I, Zhao Yun, die here, I will never let you succeed!" Zhao Yun roared, waving the long spear in his hand, and charged toward the enemy.

His appearance immediately attracted the enemy's attention. They turned toward Zhao Yun one after another, attempting to subdue him again. But Zhao Yun seemed to have forgotten the pain at this moment; his spear technique was fierce as the wind, and wherever he went, the enemy fell to the ground.

However, Zhao Yun's physical strength had already been severely overdrawn, and his movements gradually became sluggish. Seeing this, the enemy launched a fierce attack again.

Just at this moment, a loud horn sounded. It turned out that Zhao Yun's main force had arrived at the critical moment. Seeing Zhao Yun in danger, they immediately launched a fierce charge. ===== CHAPTER 1627 =====
