On the second day of the first month of September, Ruo Ao Zike sent people back to Beijing to report to obtain the hiding place of Cheng Daxin and others, and applied for the support of Ruo Ao Yuejiao's weapons and equipment, grain and grass, and a mighty encirclement and suppression was carried out by Ruo Ao Zike against Cheng Daxin, and Pan Chong and others started on the Jiangling Plain.

In Ao Zike's army, the new prison army sent by Yue Jiao came forward to meet and announced Yue Jiao's order, "Humble to meet Lord Sima, Ling Yin said, quickly eliminate all opposition parties." ”

"Rest assured, Lord Supervisor, Zi Ke will immediately order someone to move away the rocks, quickly reorganize the men and horses, and continue to pursue Cheng Daxin and them until they are wiped out in one fell swoop. ”

Ruo Ao Zike looked at the person with a smile like a fox, bowed his hand, respectfully assured him, and ordered someone to quickly reorganize the army, clean up the battlefield, and continue the pursuit.

"Whatever Lord Sima said, we are all here to make Yin do things, and today's encirclement and suppression will depend entirely on Lord Sima. ”

The prison guards were stared at by him all the time, and knew that he must be displeased, so he immediately spoke out to reassure him.

Now his existence means that Ruo Ao Yuejiao, so even Ruo Ao Zike has to treat him with three courtesies, but no matter how he says it, Ruo Ao Zike is the third son of Ruo Ao's family.

Ruo Zike smiled meaningfully, "There is a prison army here today, and Zike also asks the prison army to sweep the battle for us!"

"It's easy!"

The prison soldiers and ears and eyes sent by Yuejiao were all from the army, and they did not go into battle to fight.

"Since he sent a pair of eyes over, but it is common for the sword to be blind, blind, and killed on the battlefield, do you say?" said Ruo Zike lightly when the trusted prison army left.

"Yes...... In order to make Yin Fenyong kill the enemy, his chariot unintentionally rushed into the ambush of the Cheng clan, but the stray arrow had no eyes, and the overseer was seriously injured and died!"

"Huh...... That's a good way to die!"

……

The north wind swept the ground and the dust was flying, blowing on the dry and exploding skin in winter, and it hurt like a knife.

In the north wind, Cheng Daxin and his men and horses were driven out of the mountains and forests where they were hiding with less than 8,000 men and horses, plus wounded soldiers, and galloped in the wilderness, losing their only cover, exposed to the noses of Ruo Aozike's army, and could be swallowed up and crushed by the rain of arrows and catapults at any time.

Everyone was in a mess, the wind-blown skin was dry and bursting, the lips were dry and bleeding, and the continuous running for a whole day had exhausted everyone.

Cheng Daxin rode on the horse and looked back at the rear, only to see the dust not far away, if Ao Zike's cavalry rushed quickly, thousands of troops and horses on the Jiangling Plain black pressure unfolded, extending into a long line, to surround them from the left and right, the sharp sword shining with cold light, the rolling wheels of the car pressed the earth, as the war horses galloped, the earth shook, chasing them.

From time to time, scouts from the rear reported: "My lord, they are about to catch up!"

The well-equipped cavalry can catch up with them in just half an hour, can they really enter the Phoenix Mountain camp smoothly?

Cheng Daxin gritted his teeth and waved his hand, "Let's go!"

In the continuous pursuit, Ruo Ao Ziyong and the others urged the horse to look back at the wolf army chasing behind him and scolded, "Damn, I know that Ruo Ao Zike is playing for real!"

Cheng Daxin gasped, the sound of hooves and shouts of killing was endless, and he raised his whip and said, "Don't say it!"

Cheng Daxin decisively ordered someone to push down another piece of rocks from the hillside, and the rocks fell, and the wails of the pursuers sounded behind them, and they fought for a breath of time to advance.

However, the Cheng and Pan clans, which were less than 8,000, faced the well-equipped Ruoao six cavalry, infantry, chariots, and catapults, even if it was an "acting", it would be bloody.

Except for them, the soldiers below did not know it, and with a will to survive and generational loyalty, they followed them, stopping Ruo Aozike's pursuit again and again, and all the wounded soldiers left behind were brutally killed.

Cheng Daxin can't stop it.

knew that it was fake, but at this moment, the blood of the guards who guarded him with their lives still stimulated his fragile nerves, and he didn't know how many of these unwavering guards could follow him into Phoenix Mountain alive in the end.

A scout in front of him hurriedly rushed back, pointing in the direction of the Phoenix Mountain camp in front of him, his throat was cracked because of dryness, swallowing saliva, and said incoherently, "Childe, it's here...... It's time to reach the Phoenix Mountain Boundary!"

Cheng Daxin nodded, relieved in his heart, "How far is it?"

The other side replied with difficulty, "Yes, there are only ten miles left, but from our direction, we will pass through a large ancient forest, the terrain is complicated, and our people have heard the strange roar of wild beasts inside......"

"What do you mean?"

Xianyin looked at him and asked.

"The villain is worried about an ambush!"

The scout looked at the crowd and replied.

Everyone's hearts were cold, this means that it is likely that someone is ambushed here in advance, Ruo Ao Ziyong scolded the ancestor of the Ruo Ao clan again, and was scolded by Ruo Aotan, "How do you speak!"

Pan Chong, who was sitting in the carriage, lifted the curtain, looked at the primeval area like the Black Forest in front of him, took off his hood, and ordered, "Continue to explore the road and move forward!"

"Yes!"

The Scout is commanded to turn around.

Not far away, two not tall peaks and palaces emerge from the secluded ancient forest, the sparse roar and rush of wild beasts continue to come from the mountain forest, and the loud military horn sound resounded in the back of the mountain forest, and at such a turbulent moment, occasionally you can hear a few river waves hitting the river beach "rustle", and a tributary of Yunmengze quietly flows through the Jiangling Plain through the Phoenix Mountains.

In all the sounds, there is an unknown danger lurking.

It's the same as during the Battle of Chengpu.

At that time, Cheng Dechen did not listen to the dissuasion and was deceived into the mountains and forests of Chengpu, and was attacked by tigers, leopards and wolves, and the army was defeated by the untrustworthy Jin Wengong.

What a similar World War I.

Nineteen years later, reappeared.

With a "poof", the scout who was running into the jungle in front of him suddenly fell from his horse, and the scout behind him hurriedly shouted and retreated, "There are ambushes!"

"Retreat!"

Pan Chong's hand clenched the car window and tightened slightly, they hadn't arrived at Phoenix Mountain yet, they couldn't get the phoenix order in Ruo Ao Zike's hand, they couldn't open the gate of Phoenix Mountain, they couldn't mobilize the last two departments loyal to Ruo Ao's clan, and they might even be shot as enemies.

If Ruo Ao Liubu of the Phoenix Mountain camp does not believe them and refuses to accept them into the mountain, then once Ruo Aozike's people arrive, they will face the opponent's 25,000 army with 8,000 troops here, and there will be only one way to die.

"Taishi, let me take the lead, I am the patriarch of the Ruoao clan, Qi Da, Yao Jun They know me!"

Coming with the desire to wash away the shame of the Ruo Ao clan's rebellion, Ruo Ao Tan sat opposite Pan Chong and touched the gold plaque that never left and said, "No matter how bad it is, although I don't have a phoenix order, I have a family seal that proves my Ruo Ao family's identity and a gold plaque." ”

"But...... Grandfather, the rebels are getting closer!"

Outside the carriage, Xian Yin looked at the army that was constantly pursuing behind him in a panic and shouted.

"Damn, why don't we go back and fight with them!" If Ao Ziyong saw that their people were consuming little by little, he raised his sword, "Fight and flee like this...... It's so depressing!"

The wait was so long, and the tightened horses were restlessly swaying back and forth on the grass, indicating that there must be a beast in it, and the grass and trees shook, and the big hands pressed the beating hearts, and everyone looked back and forth.

Forward or backward?

"Your Excellency!"

A shout came suddenly, and the scouts in the rear rushed back again, and began to shout while still in the rear, "The rebels have cleared the road and are coming towards us at full speed, 3,000 cavalry, 20,000 infantry, followed by catapults, charging the carts...... In addition, they also killed the sentry guards outside the Phoenix Mountain camp, which caused the wrath of Ruoao Liubu in the Phoenix Mountain camp!"

There was a panic at the rear of the group, and it seemed that Ruo Aozik's cavalry was about to arrive.

"Your Excellency!"

The scout asked, "What are we going to do?......"

"Boom, boom!"

A huge round of bombardment came, and they saw several boulders thrown above them, and then smashed countless huge pits in their ranks, inside and outside the pits were soldiers who had no time to escape, falling to the ground and wailing, countless battle flags of Ruo Ao Liubu appeared in the mountains and forests, and the five-tailed golden phoenix tore through the forest and pierced into their eyes, countless random arrows shot out of the forest, and the sound of shouting and killing was earth-shattering.

"It's an ambush!"

"There are ambushes on all sides!"

"The damn Ruo Ozik has really lured us here. ”

Ruo Ziyong couldn't help but scold angrily, and slashed the bow and arrow shot in front of him to the ground, and the muffled sound of the soldiers who fell to the ground with arrows kept coming from them, falling like grass and never getting up again...... If this continues, even if they reach Phoenix Mountain, they may not have anyone left.

Perhaps this was one of Ruo's ideas.

On the one hand, it consumes them.

On the one hand, they attracted the attention of Ruo Ao Liubu in the Phoenix Mountain camp, and at the same time, they also used their lives to knock on the door of the Phoenix Mountain camp for him.

It's really vicious.

"Fearless, you and Zi Yong break through to the mountains and forests behind, and you must break Ruo Ao Zike's ambush circle, otherwise we will be buried here today. ”

Cheng Daxin looked at Xian Yin, who was wandering on the side of the carriage, and said, "Ah Huang, you and I will protect the Taishi and continue to move forward! Now we have no way out, if Ao Zike wants to take our lives to open the door of the Phoenix Mountain camp!"

"Okay, kill!"

Xian Yin Shen fearlessly immediately led a thousand parts of the dynasty to kill, in order to fight and repay all kinds of bitterness and humiliation encountered along the way.

"Dreadnought, don't, come back!"

Pan Chong sat in the carriage and shouted.

Xian Yin turned his horse's head, turned his head in confusion, and asked with his gaze, "Why?" grandfather. ”

I only heard him shout, "The enemy is in the mountains and forests, we are in the light, and we are in a weak position, if we stay here for too long, I am afraid it will be even more difficult for us to leave, now there is only one road in front of us, that is, through the forest in front of us, no matter how many enemies appear in front of us, all rush over, tear everything, only in this way, can we avoid the pursuers behind." ”

"Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to shake off the pursuers behind us, and if we disperse our forces at this time, I am afraid that it will not be long before we will be attacked from both sides. ”

"My lord, the enemy's pursuers have already been killed, and they are only five thousand paces away from us. ”

At this time, a scout rushed behind him again, his face flustered, "And the rest of the sentry posts in Phoenix Mountain have discovered our traces, thinking that we are rebels attacking the camp and treating us as a group!"

Cheng Da's heart sank like water, and sure enough, he saw the sentinels in the Phoenix Mountain camp holding halberds in front of him, and they were launching rockets to report to the camp.

"Let's go. ”

Cheng Daxin led everyone forward immediately, and the seven thousand troops hurriedly moved forward, leaving only more than a thousand dead soldiers to break the rear, resisting the cavalry that quickly approached the rear.

However, after two or three cups of tea, the army that surrounded Ruo Aozike drove the chariot and stepped on the ground all the way to the corpses, one of which was not Cheng or Pan's, but their side, the whole body was full of feather arrows, covered in blood, ten thousand arrows pierced the body, and fell on the chariot, leaving a breath.

His eyes stared at Ruo Aozike, who was sitting on the chariot with Erlang's legs crossed and drove into sight with a smile, his lips opened and closed, "You...... What do you want to do?...... If Ao Zike ......"

"Hehe......"

"You go down there and ask Tai Si Ming!"

Ruo Ao Zike was dressed in a snow-white fox fur cloak, smiled and waved his hand, "Come on, the prison army is dead!

The staff beckoned, and someone carried away the newcomer who had "died on the battlefield" and congratulated, "Childe, these nasty eyes are finally gone!"

"But it took us a lot of time. ”

Ruo Ao Zike said quietly, frowned and glanced at the snow-white cloak stained with blood on his body, and ordered, "Come on, change one!" The attendant behind him quickly took out a new cloak from another chariot and put it back on for him.

"Huh...... Who's next?"

Ruo Aozike, who had changed his cloak, was in a good mood again, and his playful eyes wandered around in the ancient mountains and forests, looking at the staff and answering himself, "This seems to be a good place, suitable for burying bones!"

The staff said with a smile, "Gongzi has laid an ambush on all sides, and the ten directions of Tianluo, they are just a trapped beast, and they can't get out!"

"And if you want to get out, you can only obediently follow the path arranged for them by Gongzi - that is, to lure out the six Ruoao Divisions that cannot be held out for us, and open the gate of Phoenix Mountain!"

A wave of laughter echoed in such a battlefield of life and death.

Brisk, "Hahaha!"

"Then let them hurry!"

……

This lone army, which continued to advance to the Phoenix Mountain camp, encountered all kinds of ambushes set up by Ruo Ao Zike along the way, broke through the left and right branches, kept fighting, struggled forward, and broke through the encirclement of the army of 25,000 people, but on all sides were archers and various traps that had been ambushed for a long time, leading them to the front of the four and five Ruo Ao who had already set up a stone thrower, put on stone bullets, erected shields, arranged archers, and stretched out bows and arrows from the female wall.

After days of continuous fighting, they had already exhausted their strength, their swords were broken, their bodies were wounded, and they were exhausted......

All the people who used to be immersed in the bustling and gentle countryside of Yingdu every day, although they have experienced these battles, have gradually become accustomed to one battle after another, the life and death of one companion after another.

But this big battle still far exceeded what they could bear and expected.

Cheng Daxin, Chen Huang, Ruo Ao Ziyong, Shen Wuxing...... When did they, the young courtiers and children of the nobility, experience such a great war?

His hands were trembling, but he still had to wave the sword halberd in his hand.

If the sword is broken, pick up the enemy's and continue.

If you're injured, you won't even have the time to look at it.

Even Ruo Ao Tan, who has been escorted in the carriage, Ah Zhu and them are holding the gold plaque in their arms, or picking up a dagger, and learning to protect themselves and the people around them.

None of them even had the time to close their eyes.

If the other party retreats for a while, they can take advantage of this time to squint, take a breath, smash their chapped lips, take a sip of blood and tears from their mouths, and then clench the sword halberd in their hands again in the next round of fighting.

In the field, only three people remained silent, quietly watching the fight.

"Taishi?"

"Can we really go in?"

In the bumpy carriage, Ruo Ao Tan was shaking with the gold plaque, and even he was unsure at this moment......

He didn't know if he would make it out of the forest alive.

Ah Zhu also looked back at Pan Chong, who didn't speak.

Pan Chong didn't look at them, at this moment, there was no way ahead, the back road was blocked, and there were ambushes in all directions, there would be no reinforcements for them, only by themselves to fight a bloody way into Phoenix Mountain.

He stared tightly in one direction, while holding back the feeling of churning in his stomach, and said firmly, "Yes!

"Anu, let's rush over first!"

"Yes, Master!"

Outside the carriage, the old slave took off the double hammer on his waist and put it flat on the wheel, held the reins with both hands, and controlled the carriage to march in the mountains and forests, his face was as smooth as Mount Tai, if he saw that anyone could not support it, the carriage he was driving would also rush towards the enemy, creating a buffer time, sprinting forward through the two warring sides, and even rushing through the sentry posts and horses blocking the road in front.

"But I saw Ruo Aozike's people!"

If Ao Tan hurriedly glanced at it, he could see Ruo Ao Zike's smiling and proud face.

Ah Zhu tightened his grip on the dagger nervously when he heard this.

Ruo Zike's chariot was surrounded by the army, and it fell close behind them not far away.

Seeing Pan Chong's carriage rushing past the sentry post first, the staff exclaimed excitedly, "Childe, Master Pan rushed over first!"

Ruo Zike sat on the chariot, like a fox's eyes narrowed slightly, victory was in sight at the moment, but he did not smile, but was very calm, because when the damned prison army arrived, it also brought bad news: Yue Jiao is coming!

"Go, send someone to help them! Aim the catapult at the pass and attack!"

"Yes, Childe!"

Seeing this, the staff immediately rushed to the rear of the heavily armored troops who were constantly pushing the trebuchet, "Stone bombs are ready!

"Launch!"

With a "boom", huge stone projectiles were thrown at the pass not far ahead, some of which smashed into the soldiers on both sides of the ground before reaching the high wall, and some of them landed on the high wall and the gate accurately, but attracted a larger wave of stone bullets and arrow rain.

Zida stood on top of the high wall, drew his sword, and shouted angrily, "Kill this group of guys who want to take the camp!"

"Launch!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Ruo Zike had no intention of stopping, and continued to order the trebuchets to continue the siege.

The roar rang out incessantly all around, and everyone couldn't even find a place to hide, and both enemy and friendly troops were running in all directions, begging for mercy, and everyone in the field, regardless of friend or foe, was fleeing in panic.

Ruo Ao Tan sat in the carriage and watched the old slave dangerously avoid a round of stone bullets, rush through waves of arrow rain, and watched Pan Taishi keep his eyes closed, screaming loudly, scolding Ruo Ao Zike for being shameless, treacherous, regardless of family affection, and begging for help, "Who will save us?"

Everywhere there were cries, everywhere there was despair.

The last rays of light in the forest-covered sky faded away, and the whole forest became a veritable forest of death.
