Just when Zhao Lang and the others were in a desperate situation, Lu Xiaoxian suddenly appeared. The front and back were blocked by the Khitan army, with steep mountains on one side and cliffs on the other, and I don't know how Lu Xiaoxian could fall from the sky.

Without waiting for Zhao Lang to ask, Lu Xiaoxian preemptively said: "General Zhao, hurry up and protect General Manager Wang to come with me!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian's words were short and unquestionable.

Zhao Lang didn't think too much, and fought and retreated with the whirlwind brigade to protect Wang Xiaojie, and retreated to the cliff behind Lu Xiaoxian.

When he arrived at an open place on the edge of the cliff, Zhao Lang was surprised to find that several steel hooks were firmly fixed to the boulder, and the other end of the rope tied to the hook hung down from the bottom of the cliff.

Zhao Lang looked at Lu Xiaoxian strangely, and Lu Xiaoxian hurriedly said: "Follow these ropes, you can go down to the bottom of the cliff, and I will arrange someone to answer below!" ”

Listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, Zhao Lang felt a little incredible. In such a short period of time, it was impossible for Lu Xiaoxian to arrange such an escape method of survival in death, he must have been preparing for a long time.

However, if he had to prepare in advance, how would Lu Xiaoxian know that Wang Xiaojie must pass by here?

How did he know that the Khitans would ambush the Great Zhou army here?

Could it be that Lu Xiaoxian could not predict the prophet?

Besides, the Khitan and Great Zhou armies passed by here just now, but no one found these ropes, so it can be seen that Lu Xiaoxian hid these ropes very well and disguised them, how much preparation work had to be done in advance?

Of course, Zhao Lang didn't know that Lu Xiaoxian had specially ordered these ropes and hooks from Wang Hufeng a few months ago. He wouldn't even know that Lu Xiaoxian had made all the preparations a long time ago, just to save Wang Xiaojie's life today.

knew that Zhao Lang had a stomachful of questions, but Lu Xiaoxian didn't bother to explain, just urged: "There is no time, General Zhao, quickly take Manager Wang and slide down the rope to the bottom of the cliff!" ”

"No need!" A voice came.

Lu Xiaoxian and Zhao Lang turned their heads in unison, Wang Xiaojie, who was still like a demon just now, had returned to the clarity of his eyes at this moment.

"Lord Steward......"

Lu Xiaoxian wanted to persuade him, but was stopped by Wang Xiaojie, and a smile appeared on his face: "I am grateful that you can come to save me." I've got my way to go, you know! ”

Lu Xiaoxian could see that Wang Xiaojie's eyes revealed a determination to die.

He sighed and couldn't help but close his eyes: everything was fate, and although he was so well prepared, he couldn't change Wang Xiaojie's fate in the end.

"Zhao Lang!" Wang Xiaojie suddenly shouted.

"Not in!" Zhao Lang couldn't help but be stunned.

"Take your people and go down to the bottom of the cliff!" Wang Xiaojie commanded.

"No, Lord Steward, if you don't go, we won't go either!" Zhao Lang knelt in front of Wang Xiaojie.

"This is an order, do you dare to disobey?" Wang Xiaojie shouted angrily.

"Lord Steward, let's go together!" Zhao Lang cried.

"I'm not leaving, but you must go! Remember, leave some seeds for the Whirlwind Brigade, the country needs you, and the court needs you! Speaking of this, Wang Xiaojie pounced and knelt down in front of Zhao Lang, "I, Wang Xiaojie, beg you, if you don't leave, I won't be blind!" ”

Zhao Lang's eyes were blurry, and Wang Xiaojie was saying goodbye to them.

The Khitans also discovered that the situation on the edge of the cliff was wrong, and intensified their attacks on these remnants, as more and more Khitan soldiers joined the battle, the soldiers of the Whirlwind Brigade continued to fall to the ground, and the Khitans got closer and closer to the edge of the cliff.

The situation was urgent, Zhao Lang knew that this was not the time to grind, so he stood up and shouted loudly at Cong Chen: "Cong Chen, you take the brothers and withdraw quickly, I am here to accompany the chief manager!" ”

"Nope! Big brother, it's not me who stays, you take the brothers to withdraw first, and I will accompany the chief steward! ”

As he spoke, Cong Chen greeted the Khitan soldiers who rushed over, raised his knife and slashed hard.

"I'm going to stay too!"

Wang Haibin roared and was about to rush forward, but was hugged by Zhao Lang.

Zhao Lang reprimanded in a low voice: "Your father knows that he will die, but he can't die unjustly like this, don't make a mistake, the court still needs someone to avenge his grievances, hurry up!" ”

Seeing that Wang Haibin was unmoved, Zhao Lang roared angrily: "Do you really want your father to die without turning a blind eye, so you will give up?" ”

Wang Haibin burst into tears, he no longer insisted, glanced at Wang Xiaojie, turned around and walked towards the rope on the edge of the cliff.

Cong Chen's strength was heavy, and he held the heart of death, and under the big opening and closing, he cut down several people in a short time, and the offensive of the Khitans couldn't help but stagnate.

Time was urgent, and Zhao Lang hurriedly instructed his brothers to slide along the rope to the bottom of the cliff.

Cong Chen had been injured in many places, but he couldn't retreat, and he couldn't hold on anymore, and another person by his side joined the battle group. When he turned his head, it was Wang Xiaojie who picked up his saber and was fighting side by side with him.

"Brother! I'm sorry to let you die with me! Wang Xiaojie waved his knife and slashed over a Khitan soldier, and said apologetically to Cong Chen.

Cong Chen no longer had the strength to swing the knife, he gasped and grinned: "It's my honor to be able to die with the chief manager!" ”

As more and more Khitans came in, Wang Xiaojie and Cong Chen retreated to the edge of the cliff.

"Brother, are you afraid?" Wang Xiaojie asked Cong Chen.

"Don't be afraid!" Cong Chenhao said angrily.

Wang Xiaojie nodded, looked at the Khitan soldiers who were slowly approaching, and looked up to the sky and roared: "Su Honghui bears me!" ”

With that, Wang Xiaojie jumped off the cliff.

Immediately afterwards, Cong Chen also jumped down.

……

Sixty miles north of Youzhou, the southeast foot of Yanshan Mountain, the junction of Ping and Ying, compared with Xuanshui, is the place where the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty broke and camped.

Because of an inexplicable order, Su Honghui's rear army suffered a lot of losses. As soon as he came to his senses, he began to gather his men, and after some efforts, some of the troops were restored to their formation, and they set up camp here.

In any case, the battle was lost after all, and although the camp was rigorous, the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.

In the big tent of the head of the rear army, Zhang Shuo glared at Su Honghui angrily, eager to eat him alive.

If it weren't for the absurd military order issued by Su Honghui, the hundreds of thousands of troops would not have been defeated, and they would not have cowered here like lost dogs.

Su Honghui lowered his head, and no matter how Zhang said how to count the blame, he just didn't say a word.

Zhang said that although he was angry, there was nothing he could do about him. Now he is most worried about the situation of the forward troops, and he doesn't know what happened to Wang Xiaojie, as well as Lu Xiaoxian, whether he is alive or dead, he can only ask God for his blessing.

"Master Zhang!" Yang Si hurriedly entered the tent, glanced at the silent Su Honghui, hesitated for a moment and did not speak.

"What's the matter, say it!" Zhang Shuo sighed.

"Lu Gongzi, Lu Gongzi is back!"

"What?" Zhang Shuoteng stood up suddenly, "Where is he!" How's Mr. Wang? ”

After listening to Zhang's question, Su Honghui, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly raised his head and looked at Yang Si with the eyes of the future.

"They just entered the camp gate, and I rushed to report it, but I haven't seen them yet!"

"Let's go! Let's see! Zhang said, three steps and two steps rushed out of the tent.

Seeing Zhang Shuo and Yang Si get out of the big tent, Su Honghui also stood up and staggered out of the tent.

Not long after leaving the big tent, Zhang said that he saw more than 20 people walking towards the big tent, led by Lu Xiaoxian.

Zhang Shuo hurriedly greeted him and asked eagerly, "Master Lu, how is the situation?" ”

"Not good! The vanguard troops are all gone, and all but these people in front of you are dead! Lu Xiaoxian was expressionless, looked at Zhang Shuo and asked, "I asked you to stare at the rear army, why did such a thing happen?" ”

Zhang said that he was ashamed, but he couldn't explain the grievance, in fact, he did live up to Lu Xiaoxian's expectations.

After being ridiculed, Zhang Shuo still asked: "Master Lu, how is Manager Wang?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian's eyes were a little weird, and he flashed to the side and said, "Please take care of Mr. Wang!" ”

I saw Zhao Lang and Wang Haibin walking forward with a big "cloth bag", saying that the cloth bag was actually just a simple cloth bag tied together with a battle robe.

The two of them put the cloth bag on the ground lightly with heavy faces, Zhang said that he looked at the things on the cloth bag, not only his face changed greatly: on the cloth bag was clearly a corpse with no human shape and blurred flesh, and the whole head was already sparse, and it was vaguely recognizable from the broken armor that this corpse should be Wang Xiaojie.

"Mr. Wang!" Zhang Shuo snorted and fell to his knees.

Su Honghui came from behind, he couldn't even bend his knees when he walked, staring at Wang Xiaojie's corpse with straight eyes as he walked, his lips trembled slightly, and his whole body trembled like a pendulum.

Su Honghui and Wang Xiaojie have been friends for more than ten years, and at this moment, seeing such a tragic and terrifying death of his friend, this veteran and majestic general couldn't help but have red eyes and tears.

Seeing that Su Honghui was approaching the corpse, a shrill voice suddenly sounded: "You stop me!" ”

I saw Wang Haibin's eyes wide open, his hair stood on end, his face was red like a ripe tomato, and his body was about to pounce on Su Honghui like a lion.

Zhao Lang hugged Wang Haibin and scolded in a low voice: "You calm me down!" ”

"You tell me to calm down, how can I calm down?" Wang Haibin's roar seemed to have a blade, and Su Honghui, who was cut straight through, was bruised all over his body, "If it weren't for his greed for life and fear of death, how could his father die, how could so many brothers die, I can't wait to break him into pieces!" ”

Listening to Wang Haibin's questioning, not only the remaining soldiers of the Whirlwind Brigade, but even Zhang Shuo and Yang Si glared at Su Honghui angrily.

Wang Haibin is right, if Su Honghui hadn't ordered the retreat, how could there be today's result?

"I deserve to die, I'm guilty, I'm sorry for Mr. Wang!" Su Honghui muttered to himself, knelt down in front of the corpse, and cried.

His cry was desolate and indignant, and it was as tight as a burst, like a tsunami after a wind, and it was uncontrollable.

Seeing this situation, everyone in the audience looked stunned, and they all turned their faces away and couldn't bear to look at them directly.
