Chapter 107: Overboard Phoenix

The Tanisha army, which was running slowly along the road, was struck, and hundreds of troops fell in batches under the ring swords, and there were stumps and broken arms everywhere along the way, and the continent was stained red with blood. Akashic led the cavalry forward, and the infantry behind him dragged time for them with their lives.

Quite a few infantry could not run, so they simply threw their weapons and surrendered on their knees. Liu Feng and Sula also led the cavalry in pursuit, and when they saw those who surrendered, they no longer cared about them, and let their own troops behind them clean up.

Akashic looked left and right, the remaining team around him was less than two thousand, the army of 50,000 came violently, and there were still two thousand left, like a lost dog, life ups and downs, it was really exciting. In any case, it is important to save your life, the walls of Tanesha City are high and thick, and there are still tens of thousands of defenders in and around the city, and there is still a chance to turn the tables.

While comforting himself, he led the army to flee, and the sound of the enemy army behind him gradually became farther away, and Akashic felt a little calmer.

After running for more than 20 miles, there was a fork in the road not far ahead. The city of Tanesha can be reached on both sides, a little farther on one side, and the Yamna River on the other, which is a little closer by a pontoon bridge.

"Your Majesty, take the road or cross the river?" His lieutenant general asked.

After a little thought, Akashic ordered, "Take the main road, the pontoon bridge is not wide, be careful of being overtaken by the enemy." ”

Akashic led the team to the main road, and at this moment the drums and trumpets sounded in unison, and the army came out of the junction, with smoke and dust billowing behind them, and flags all over the mountains and fields, which seemed to be quite numerous.

Looking around, the two thousand cavalrymen all lost their armor, their faces were covered with mud, they fled too quickly, they were out of breath, and they saw that they had no intention of fighting again. In desperation, Akashic had no choice but to order the army, "To avoid the enemy's edge, let's go from the Yamna River." ”

So the sergeants turned their horses and went the other way.

This is the 1,000 soldiers and horses sent to Muji before. In fact, there were not enough troops at the beginning, so they could only send so much. Liu Feng wrote a letter to Mu Ji, asking him to lay an ambush at the fork in the road, plant flags all over the place, tie some branches to the horse's tail, and run left and right on the main road, deliberately rolling smoke and dust, looking like there were thousands of soldiers and horses.

Seeing that the Akashic army was really deceived, Mu Ji was not in a hurry to pursue, after all, he was not many in number, and he did not dare to let go of the intersection to prevent Akashic from escaping.

Less than half an hour later, Liu Feng and his pursuers arrived, and Mu Ji hurriedly stepped forward and said to Liu Feng: "Crazy, Akashit and they ran to the Yamna River. With that, he stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the Yamna River.

"Can you get ready as I tell you?" Liu Feng asked.

"No problem, it's done." Muji replied.

"Okay, credit to you. Leave 500 elite soldiers to guard the crossing, and the rest of the horses will follow us in pursuit. After speaking, he didn't dare to delay too much effort, and led the people to continue chasing towards the Yamna River. The opportunity is rare, this time we must take the life of the Akashic dog, and we must not let the tiger return to the mountain.

Akashic ran wildly with nearly two thousand cavalry to the Yamna River. When I went to the river, I was dumbfounded: the pontoon bridge on the river was gone, and the river was dozens of zhang wide and the water was turbulent.

"Your Majesty, the bridge, the bridge is gone." Panicked reports from his men.

"I saw that the bridge was gone, it must have been done by the marshal of the Tang Dynasty." Akashic jumped off his horse, patting his head with both hands, thinking about it. Seeing his generals and strategists surrounding him, his innocent little eyes followed him around, and he suddenly became angry.

"Hurry up and find a way, a bunch of rice buckets, do you expect me to take ideas? So what are you raising for? ”

"Your Majesty, otherwise, let's turn around and walk on the main road." One of the strategists said tremblingly.

Akashic roared angrily, "The chasing soldiers are coming, there are ambushes on the road, do you go over to find death?" ”

However, this also reminded Akash, and he hurriedly ordered his subordinates, "Hurry up, go to the nearby village and look for the fishing boat, if you can't find it, you don't have to come back, just wait for death on the spot." ”

The sergeants split up and galloped towards the surrounding villages.

Akashic thought it was a little strange, before, there were always some boats coming and going on this river, after all, there were many fishermen nearby, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and the rivers to eat the river, in order to fish and be hygienic. But today, it's really strange, not a single boat can be seen on the huge river.

At this moment, Akashic faintly felt that something was wrong. It seems that every step of his own has been calculated a long time ago, could it be that the sky is going to kill me here?

Knowing that there were pursuers behind them, the sergeants did not dare to run too far, and after a while, they came back one after another to report:

"Report to Your Majesty that there are no more boats in the nearby villages."

"Oh? Where are all the fishing boats? Akash's face was full of confusion.

"I asked, and I said that two days ago, someone hired boats at a high price, and all the fishing boats were twenty miles downstream."

"What the hell is that." Akashic was so angry that he screamed and was in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, the sergeants have collected a lot of barrels and basins, why don't we swim across the river?" One of his subordinates suggested.

Looking back behind him, he could already hear the hoofs of the pursuers. Looking at the river in front of him again, after hesitating, Akacy paused, sighed, and then ordered, "That's all there is to it, let everyone have their destiny." ”

After speaking, he took a wooden barrel from the hands of the soldiers beside him and jumped into the river first. The sergeants followed suit, taking barrels, tubs, gourds, and some who were unlucky and holding sticks. The generals were okay, no matter what, they had the strength to hold the float in both hands, hit the water hard, and slowly swam towards the opposite shore.

At the moment of life and death, no one can care about anyone. A few strategists were powerless, the water was turbulent, and they obviously couldn't save their lives by leaning on the wooden basin in their hands. A few minutes after entering the water, a wave hit, and all that was left was a bunch of bubbles.

Before he could swim to the center of the river, the pursuers had arrived. Seeing the heads floating on the surface of the river, Liu Feng saw the afterimage of Akashic and sneered, "Hmph, the phoenix in the water is not as good as a chicken, continue to chase." ”

After speaking, he took off his armor and robe, jumped directly into the water, and chased forward. The sergeants who knew how to water around them followed suit, and those who didn't know how to water could only wait on the shore with dry eyes.

Sulla commanded loudly, "Archers, release the arrows." ”

In an instant, arrows rained down. The Akashic team had not swam far, and the river was bright red, and many barrels and basins flowed down the river, and many soldiers lost their lives. After several rounds of bows and arrows, there were fewer and fewer people left in Akash's ranks.

Some were shot to death, and some were too tired from swimming, plus panicked, and drowned. There are only a hundred people left on the river.

At this moment, another group of pursuers arrived, and it was the cavalry led by Mitab who caught up.

The sound of plopping sounded, and the person who came didn't care about taking a moment of respite, just like the previous team, took off his armor and robes, held a short blade in his hand, and jumped into the water.
