Chapter 8 Walking is the best policy
The heavy city gate of "squeak...... slowly opened to both sides in the dark night and in the firelight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Through the gradually widening crack in the door, Mu Shan saw the burning camp, saw the Yellow Turban Army running wolf, and saw the scene of flesh and blood splashing.
Separated by a door, it is like the world and purgatory!
"Kill!" Cao Cao's sword in his right hand pointed forward, and Yu Ban took the lead, bravely rushing out of the city gate.
The officers and soldiers were like sharp swords, following Yu Ban and piercing towards the chaotic battlefield.
The Yellow Turban Army far outnumbered the officers and men, but without effective command and strict military discipline, the scene was chaotic, like a pot of thick porridge, trampling on each other and dying, many times more than those who died under the blades of officers and soldiers.
"Kill the ......, make meritorious contributions, and worship the prime minister is right in front of you!" Mu Shan listened to the roars of the soldiers around him, and felt that his blood was full of blood on the top of his head, and his eyes were instantly covered with a layer of blood red.
With the sharpness of warding off evil spirits, there is no enemy who is together, and wherever he passes, blood splashes and wails all over the place.
Mu Shan had forgotten how many Yellow Turban soldiers he had killed, and all he could see was the fleeing figures, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. The blood under his feet was sticky, and the fire flickered left and right, reflecting him like a demon who had lost his shackles!
"Son......"
In the chaos, a mournful cry was like a sharp blade, piercing straight into Mu Shan's heart. In an instant, Mu Shan only felt that his heart was in a trance, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be shaking slightly.
A moment later, more howls and cries, like lingering curses, kept echoing in Mu Shan's mind.
The blood and anger in his eyes gradually dissipated, and Mu Shan's eyes widened and he looked at the Yellow Turban Army who fell under his sword in a daze. There was a gray-haired old woman on the ground, kneeling on the ground, desperately shaking the gradually cold corpse, and screaming hysterically, making Mu Shan's heart feel a tingling pain.
If my mother is also ......
No, it won't be......
Mu Shan suddenly thought that since there is a small family in the Yellow Turban Army, will Qin Mei also be wrapped in it, will it be like the old woman in front of her, facing a raised butcher's knife at the moment.
Retribution ......, is this retribution......
As soon as he thought of this, Mu Shan suddenly felt that his heart was dead, as if the spine that supported him was pulled out in an instant.
"Be careful!"
When Mu Shan came back to his senses, a sharp blade had already stabbed towards his chest, and in a hurry, Mu Shan could only turn sideways, trying to avoid the vital point.
The blade of the "......" sword tore through his clothes, and the pain that cut through his skin made Mu Shan break out in a cold sweat.
"Looking for the ...... of death" Mu Shan's hand was cutting off the evil spirit, but when the blade of the sword just reached the neck of the sneak attacker, it paused again.
That person was none other than the old woman who had cried bitterly before.
"Kill, you robber, give back my son's life!"
Mu Shan stared deeply at the wrinkled and dark-skinned old woman in front of him, and from her, Mu Shan saw Qin Mei's figure. The evil spirits in his hands suddenly weighed as much as 10,000 catties.
"I'm sorry!" Mu Shan's lips moved slightly, spit out three insignificant words, and soon disappeared into the chaotic and bloody battlefield.
"......" The corners of the old woman's mouth opened, as if she wanted to say something, but before the words could be spoken, a sword tip had already penetrated her body, burying her life and the words she wanted to confide.
Seeing the old woman fall to the ground softly, revealing the sneak attacker behind her, Mu Shan asked loudly: "What are you doing!" ”
"Are you crazy?" Sima Yuchen quietly pulled out the sword in the old woman's body, stared at Mu Shan coldly, and said: "This is the battlefield, and it is too long to show mercy to the enemy's subordinates!" ”
"Enemy ......" Mu Shan looked at the old woman on the ground who was still blinding, and felt that the things in this world were too ridiculous and crazy: "What is the duty of a soldier?" Defend the country! Look around, come and tell me, what is home? What is a country? ”
“…… Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister! ”
"You ......"
"Mu Shan, senior sister, don't fight, the Yellow Turban Army has retreated, Meng De and Wen are organizing soldiers to cover the retreat of the people, let's go and meet them."
Mu Shan glanced at Sima Yuchen stupidly, and strode towards Cao Cao's military formation.
"Ahu, where do you want to take them there? There is no danger outside, once the Yellow Turban Army catches up with ......" Mu Shan leaned into Cao Cao's ear and asked in a low voice: "You tell me honestly, how many reinforcements did the imperial court send in total?" ”
Cao Cao looked around and groaned, "...... Five thousand. ”
"A drop in the bucket" Mu Shan's eyebrows ...... furrowed, looked at Cao Cao with a confident face, and said, "What are you going to do?" ”
Cao Cao patted Mu Shan's shoulder, pretending to be mysterious: "You'll know in a while, let's wait and see." ”
The people all retreated into the forest, and the soldiers who rushed to the aid lined up outside the forest, seizing the time to recover their strength.
Time, minute by minute, the sky has begun to reveal the whiteness of the fish's belly.
"Cao Duwei, the city has fallen, and Bo Cai is chasing after him with more than 100,000 Yellow Turban thieves."
"So fast!" Although Mu Shan had been prepared in his heart, he still felt a burst of shock when he heard Yu Ban's report on the military situation ahead: "More than 100,000, fighting on the ground, Ah Gou, do you really have a chance of winning?" ”
"It's coming!" Cao Cao raised his eyes and looked into the distance, only to see that on the horizon in the distance, the black pressure pressed the yellow turban thief, like the rising tide of the sea, against the rising sun, slowly approaching.
Cao Cao stood in front of the soldiers and reprimanded sternly: "All the soldiers obey my orders, let you retreat, don't panic, let you attack, don't be cowardly, dare to disobey my general's orders, kill, no, pardon!" ”
Cao Cao stood in front of the formation, looked into the distance, and secretly estimated the distance between the two sides in his heart: "Archer, prepare ......"
"Put!" Cao Cao's sword swung downward, and the archers immediately loosened their strings and released their arrows, and the arrows rained down, pouring densely towards the Yellow Turban Army that entered the firing range.
It seems that today's fierce battle is inevitable. I just don't know if I can get out of the battlefield alive.
Mu Shan looked at the Yellow Turban Army that was accelerating in front of him after two rounds of arrow rain, and subconsciously clenched the evil spirits in his hands, and was ready to fight against the water.
"Retreat!"
Just when Mu Shan was about to step forward and fight hand-to-hand and rush into battle, Cao Cao's high-pitched voice came out of common sense.
Mu Shan turned around in astonishment and saw Cao Cao like a frightened rabbit, "taking the lead", desperately drilling into the forest.
......The soldiers were in an uproar for a while, and then they spread their feet, followed Cao Cao's pace, and ran forward desperately, looking at the posture, they seemed to hate their father and mother for not giving them two more legs.
"Damn Cao Apu, he always does some inexplicable tricks, I really don't know what he's thinking in his head!" Mu Shan complained in a low voice, seeing that the Yellow Turban Army was imminent, he had to take Xiuniang and Sima Yuchen as deserters.
"Hehe, Meng De's strategy, I have seen it last night, I guess he has his own reasons for doing this."
"It makes sense to run away?!" Mu Shan looked at Xiuniang beside him and said, "I can't blame him, the imperial court only sent less than 5,000 reinforcements, bows, crossbows and arrows are all in short supply, and there is ......little food left." It has to be said that retreat is the wisest choice at the moment. ”
"Xiuniang, you must follow me for a while, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, your skills are not enough to protect yourself, don't stay too far away from me."
Mu Shan took the two of them and quickly ran through the forest: "Oh, by the way, have you ever seen Huangfu Song?" Isn't he in charge of defending the city? Why haven't you seen him yet? Could it be that seeing that the situation is not good, he blamed everything on Ah Pu and became a deserter himself? ”
