Chapter Forty-Nine: Desert Quicksand
Qin Nan rushed up from the crowd: "King, the mud brick city wall has turned into mud, dangerous!" The water level of the Haba River is rising, and it is almost impossible to hold it here, so evacuate quickly! ”
Chu Jinmo asked, "General Qin, how is the battle situation now?" ”
Qin Nan said: "Wuchun has sent reinforcements!" The situation is not good! ”
Chu Jinmo muttered: "Now that we start a war with Wuchun, it will be bad for us, okay, pass on my order and evacuate Chiyue immediately!" He shouted towards the place where Nangong Yun disappeared in the city: "Nangong Yun, I will spare your life for the time being today!" If you still have a life alive! ”
Akatsuki City was poured by the Haba River that I had cut off, and I saw the sky full of raging rivers, and I saw the walls that Akatsuki was proud of crumbling one by one, and Akatsuki City was destroyed, and Nangong Yun led the remnants of the army to chase after him.
On the way back to Baishui City, Chu Jinmo took me on a horse, and he asked Qin Nandao: "What is the route of retreat?" ”
Qin Nan immediately stepped forward and said: "I got the news that the Wuchun Department sent reinforcements to intercept the road from Akatsuki to Baishui City, I am afraid that they will set up an ambush, which will be very unfavorable to us." ”
Chu Jinmo muttered: "In this case, let's enter the Tengger Desert, detour back to Baishui City, and let the Wuchun army pounce!" ”
I swallowed the mandala last night, and although my life was saved by the witch doctor, my body was still extremely weak. At this time, I suddenly felt out of breath and my heart ached.
Helian Rui on the side said: "King Chu, the master's body is weak, let me serve her and take a rest!" ”
Chu Jinmo sensed my discomfort and asked, "Mu Lan, you're okay, right?" Would you like to take a break? ”
I shook my head and said with difficulty, "No... Let's go, Jinmo! Akatsuki suffered a big loss this time, and she will definitely catch up, I don't care, go back quickly! ”
Chu Jinmo hugged my arm and bent it tightly: "I heard the jailer say last night that you did not hesitate to eat poisonous flowers in order to keep your chastity, I was so frightened that my soul was scattered, Mu Lan... Don't leave me again! ”
Chu Jinmo hugged my body and felt pain, I endured the pain, but I felt a thin warm current flowing through my heart.
Finally, no longer alone.
In the world of 2,000 years ago, I was not alone, I was no longer alone!
Whitewater City is my home, and Jinmo is my family!
He will worry about me, he will fight for me, whoever hurts me, no matter what the price is, at the ends of the earth, he will make the person who hurt me pay.
"Well, never to be separated again!" I murmured. Chu Jinmo's chest was very warm, sticking to his arms, and his heartbeat gave me encouragement and support.
As I was talking, I suddenly saw the smoke and dust billowing behind me, I was shocked, and pointed to the smoke and dust in the distance and said, "Jinmo, could it be that Akatsuki's pursuer?" ”
Chu Jinmo squinted: "Could it be Nangong Yun?" ”
Qin Nan said: "That must be the pursuer of the Red Moon, the king, who is about to enter the Tengger Desert!" ”
After a big battle just now, the soldiers were tired, and the Akatsuki army didn't seem to want to miss this opportunity and chased after it.
Chu Jinmo said coldly: "Our current situation is not suitable for war, Nangong Yun also knows this, with their momentum, they will soon catch up, and a battle with the Red Moon Army is inevitable!" ”
I shook my head: "You can't go to war, you're covered in wounds." Besides, the situation is not in our favor right now, and if we fight head-on, the chances of winning are not very good. ”
Qin Nan said: "King, our soldiers are divided into two ways, and I will lead my troops to stop the chasing soldiers of Akatsuki. Crossing that rocky mountain, the Tengger Desert is not far to the right. ”
Chu Jinmo looked into the distance and said, "No, Qinnan, the Red Moon army is not suitable for desert warfare, and our Baishui City is surrounded by desert on three sides, and it is common to fight desert warfare." Pass my orders and lure the enemy into the Tengger Desert! ”
Qin Nan said loudly: "No! ”
Chu Jinmo wrapped me tightly with his cloak: "Come, Mulan, wrap your body tightly, it's very uncomfortable to enter the desert, but be patient." ”
He looked up at the sky: "The southeast wind is starting to blow!" The wind of the desert is blowing in the Immortal Heaven! ”
I was surprised: "Will there be a sandstorm?" Wouldn't it be more dangerous for us to be unable to move in the desert? ”
Chu Jinmo affirmed: "No, this wind will only cause sand wind, and the sand and dust raised from the ground can't even be seen by your own feet. ”
He turned to Qin Nan and ordered: "Drive five or six horses in front of the army, and enter the Tengger Desert in one breath before the sand wind arises!" ”
Qinnan commanded: "No! ”
Chu Jinmo said in a loud voice to his subordinates: "Pretend to go straight back to Baishui City, but after we enter the desert, we immediately go around to the right!" ”
"Forward!"
The dust began to rise, and I felt very uncomfortable.
Chu Jinmo hurriedly said: "Mulan, you wrap yourself tightly with a cloth!" ”
I gasped, "I... Can't breathe! ”
Chu Jinmo looked nervous: "Mu Lan, you have nothing to do, right?" ”
I gasped: "No, no... It's okay for me, let's go! ”
Helian Rui drove his horse closer: "King! The master is weak and cannot easily enter the desert, so let me serve her and abscond by another way! ”
Chu Jinmo looked hesitant and was about to speak, when suddenly there was a commotion in front of him.
"Qinnan, what's going on up ahead?"
Qinnan replied loudly: "The horse ahead has fallen into quicksand!" ”
The crowd exclaimed, "It's quicksand!" ”
"Ahh The horse was sucked in by quicksand! ”
"Don't approach, danger!"
This is a terrifying bottomless quicksand that can suck people, horses, and anything, no wonder Chu Jinmo wants to drive the horse ahead to protect the safety of the soldiers.
Chu Jinmo ordered: "Go around this place and advance!" Helian Rui's team and I stayed here. Qinnan, you led the whole army to Juyanhai, where are you waiting for me! ”
Qin Nan was surprised: "King, how can I let you stay!" ”
Chu Jinmo waved his hand and said: "Hurry forward, go to Juyanhai and wait for the convergence, when the sand wind rises, everyone will not even be able to see the road!" After speaking, he looked down at me: "Mulan, you go with Qin Nan first, it's dangerous here." ”
This situation reminds me of a scene on the grassland a year ago, Chu Jinmo took me back to Baishui City, he planned to lead the troops back alone to deal with Prince Donglin, at that time he said to me: "I will send someone to send you away!" ”
I reflexively hugged Chu Jinmo without hesitation: "No, I'll stay!" ”
Chu Jinmo's body was shocked, and he no longer insisted, there was too much tacit understanding between us. What comes to mind, he remembers.
A soldier in the back galloped over with a whip and reported: "King, Akatsuki's army has caught up!" ”
A sneer escaped from the corner of Chu Jinmo's mouth: "Has Nangong Yun already arrived?" Okay, bring all the Akatsuki army into the quicksand and annihilate! Helian Rui, pay attention to the movement of the wind! ”
Helian Rui responded: "No! King, be sure to pay attention to the quicksand under your feet! ”
Chu Jinmo sneered: "Nangong Yun's target is me, you shout loudly, let the Red Moon Army know that I am here." ”
Everyone received the order and shouted one after another: "King Chu! King Chu! ”
From a distance, I saw the jade-like young man in white, Nangong Yun riding on a horse with the army, looking at each other from afar. When his gaze made contact with me, he narrowed his eyes slightly. He raised his sword: "Charge!" Disperse the army of Whitewater City and kill Chu Jinmo! ”
"Rush!"
"Kill the Lord of Whitewater!"
Chu Jinmo said coldly: "Come on, come straight towards me!" Nangong Yun, our account should be calculated! ”
The Akatsuki army met the army of Whitewater City, and when the enemies met, they were extremely red-eyed, and the person who destroyed the Akatsuki was in front of them, and everyone rushed over with red eyes, knives, and whips.
Chu Jinmo quickly turned his horse's head: "Retreat!" ”
He took me and Helian Rui's squad of sergeants back to retreat. When the Akatsuki Army saw us running away, they did not hesitate to catch up.
Suddenly plunged into quicksand!
"What's going on?"
"It's quicksand! Quicksand! Fast! Get out of here! ”
"Hit the mark!"
By the time they spotted the quicksand, it was too late. Almost all of the Akatsuki army fell into quicksand, a trap that caused their countless soldiers to be sucked into the bottomless quicksand.
People who fall into quicksand can't move, as long as their body moves, they will sink down, and even if they don't move, they will be drowned by quicksand. Due to the blowing sand, it was impossible to distinguish the situation in the vicinity.
Chu Jinmo saw that the plan was completed, and hugged me and drove the horse forward: "Although I didn't see Nangong Yun's most reluctant fate with my own eyes, I successfully got rid of Chiyue's pursuers, go!" Go to Juyanhai and Qinnan to meet! ”
"General Qinnan is waiting in Juyanhai, where the wounded soldiers can rest and heal, go!"
Nangong Yun and the Red Moon army, who were stuck in the quicksand, don't know what happened to Lu Dao? This expedition gave the Akatsuki Department a devastating blow, but it was a pity that I didn't see Nangong Yun's worst queen.
While speaking, I hugged Chu Jinmo's hand and felt a burst of wetness, I opened my palm to see that it was all blood, and Chu Jinmo's whole body was injured. I felt so anxious that I couldn't breathe again.
Chu Jinmo hugged me and said nervously: "Mu Lan, are you very uncomfortable?" You'll be in Juyanhai soon, and when you get there, you can heal your wounds and hold on! ”
I tried to answer him, but I couldn't speak, and I had a fever all over my body, and I seemed to have a high fever and dizziness. Ju Yanhai, I'm here again!
This beautiful oasis is home to countless reeds swaying in the wind, as well as countless cattle and sheep.
I sat barefoot by the lake, and when I turned my head, I saw Huo Qubing sitting next to me: "This is really a good place!" ”
There was a smile on his heroic face, and I couldn't help but reach out and touch his face. These sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, and smiling lips.
Go sick!
Why is it that the longer I leave you, the more I miss you?
When I came to my senses, I heard Chu Jinmo ask, "Helian Rui, how far is it to Juyanhai?" ”
Helian Rui said: "King, just ahead!" ”
I fainted again.
When I woke up again, all I could hear was the cheers of the soldiers all around.
"The king has arrived safely!"
"Inform General Konan quickly!"
"Great, finally got rid of Akatsuki's pursuers!"
