Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Stone Tablet
Ye Youhuan pushed himself away with a pillar of fire, and after falling to the ground, the flames on his body were temporarily extinguished.
Although he did not have the blessing of flames, he managed to escape the encirclement.
Ye Youhuan met in the direction of Zhong Ling, and he saw Zhong Ling shouting to himself: "Be careful......"
Halfway through the words, a crossbow bolt was stuck against Ye Youhuan's head and plunged into the ground.
The arrow didn't hit the head accurately, it just scratched.
Scratched one of Ye Youhuan's ears.
Ye Youhuan almost jumped up in pain.
He knows that the body can be regenerated, even if the ear is cut off, it won't take long to grow a new one, but although the body can be repaired, the pain is something he has to bear.
"Watch out for the crossbows—"
Zhong Ling reminded Ye Youhuan that there were large war machines in the Liangren army, which were very dangerous for the two of them.
Ye Youhuan knew that it was powerful, so he didn't dare to show it anymore, and when he rushed towards Zhong Ling, he tried to use the enemy soldiers as a shield for himself.
When Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling reconciled, they found that Zhong Ling was covered in blood.
The two men joined together and began to retreat towards the outside of the camp.
Ye Youhuan helped stop the attack of the soldiers and kept retreating.
Zhong Ling followed Ye Youhuan and helped Ye Youhuan guard against the big crossbow arrows shot by several crossbow machines.
Seeing the two retreating, Ryoto became crazy.
These two people have killed so many generals enough to make the two of them lose face, if they are allowed to escape again, then these soldiers will feel embarrassed, and for the rest of their lives, this night battle will be an indelible shame.
"Do you remember the road?" Ye Youhuan fought and retreated, and asked Zhong Ling if he remembered the way he came.
The enemy cavalry has not yet been prepared, and the current battle is full of pikemen.
As soon as the cavalry was ready for battle, outflanking and cutting off their own rear from the flank, then the two were in danger.
In terms of speed, Ye Youhuan is not as good as Zhong Ling, and it is much worse.
Seeing that there were already enemy soldiers on horseback behind him, Zhong Ling grabbed Ye Youhuan's back collar, picked Ye Youhuan up, and then fled to the place outside the camp where the black smoke beast had been hidden in advance.
Zhong Ling took Ye Youhuan and rushed to the side of the black smoke beast.
Her hands and feet were all monkey bodies, faintly exuding the breath of a hundred-year-old giant beast, which made the eyes of the black smoke beast full of unease.
How could Zhong Ling pay so much attention, he threw Ye Youhuan on the black smoke beast, and then slapped the ** smoke beast's head three times with his hand.
"Hiss————"
The Smoke Beast's body began to swell, and a single horn grew on its smooth forehead, and smoke floated out of the single horn.
Zhong Ling also turned on his horse and grabbed the reins.
"Catch me!"
As soon as the words fell, Zhong Ling rode out on the black smoke beast.
The black smoke beast was very fast, and the inertia was huge when it started, but fortunately, Ye Youhuan was quick and hugged Zhong Ling's waist.
The cavalry had already rushed to the side, brandishing their weapons to stop Zhong Ling and Ye Youhuan.
Ye Youhuan's hands and eyes were quick, blocking the weapon and protecting Zhong Ling.
With his bare hands, he was stabbed in the chest in order to grab the enemy's spear.
When he pulled out his spear, no blood flowed from the wound, but steam outward.
Zhong Ling and Ye Youhuan didn't fight, and ran back desperately.
The speed of the black smoke beast was not much faster than that of a horse, and it couldn't shake off the horses behind it with two people on its back.
In particular, those cavalrymen were all trained, and their ability to control horses was better than Zhong Ling's.
In addition to a few pursuers, there were also a large number of cavalry chasing in the distance, and although those pursuers could not see it, the sound of thousands of iron horsemen galloping could be heard from afar, and even the sound made the earth shake violently.
However, the two of them did not panic, because the magical power of the black smoke beast had already been exerted.
The surroundings began to be shrouded in mist, and the fog gradually turned black to form a black cloud, which stretched for several miles, and even shrouded the army that was pursuing the two men in the distance.
Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling retreated to Chengguan, looking unhurried.
But they soon sensed something was wrong.
Although the black clouds had blinded the enemy's vision, judging by the sound, the enemy was still following him.
"What's going on?" Zhong Ling was surprised.
"They've figured out our route back to the city." Ye Youhuan said with annoyance, he ignored this, although the enemy could not see their traces, but they knew the route of their escape.
"What should I do?" Zhong Ling was a little flustered.
"It's okay, let's go in another direction." Ye Youhuan quickly came up with a countermeasure, and turned the black smoke beast and ran towards the mountains of Wild Fox Ridge.
Ye Youhuan thought that he would be able to get rid of the pursuers in this way, but he didn't notice that two horses that had been chasing behind him stopped, and they would convey a message to the troops behind, telling the troops behind that Ye Youhuan had changed the direction of escape.
On the Black Smoke Beast, Zhong Ling was originally pulling the reins, but Zhong Ling couldn't control the Black Smoke Beast well, so it was replaced by Ye Youhuan who pulled the reins.
Zhong Ling was in front of Ye Youhuan, snuggling in Zhong Ling's arms like a bird.
Wen Yu was full of arms, this should be a sweet night, but unfortunately Ye Youhuan was running for his life, and he was not in the mood to feel the feeling of holding Zhong Ling in his arms.
"It's not just the enemy who can't see the way, we can't see either!" Ye Youhuan complained that the ability of this black smoke beast was not as powerful as expected, and he felt that he and Zhong Ling had overestimated its ability.
"yes!" Zhong Ling also said depressedly.
It's okay to be in a familiar place, you don't need to look at the road in the distance, you just run back with your feelings.
But Ye Youhuan had already taken Zhong Ling back to the city pass, and the place they arrived at was getting more and more remote, and the road under their feet was getting narrower and narrower.
In an unfamiliar place, it is not pleasant to not be able to see anything.
Zhong Ling asked, "Why don't you remove the black mist?" ”
"I recognize this stele!" A fork in the road appeared in front of Ye Youhuan, there was a stone tablet on the fork road, the stele was written with three big characters of Yehuling, and the bottom was divided into left and right sides, Hengshan was written on the left, and Erxian Mountain was written on the right.
The reason why Ye Youhuan remembered this stele was because he had been to this place before.
Yehuling is a huge mountain range, and both Hengshan and Erxian Mountain are part of Yehuling.
When Ye Youhuan was still the battalion commander, he once led his troops to quietly cross Hengshan, crossed Yepi Pass, and attacked the military camp stationed near Yehuling.
Because Ye Youhuan stopped and looked at this stele when he passed by, he had an impression of this stele.
The stele is the road sign, the road on the left side of the stele leads to the Hengshan Mountain that Ye Youhuan once climbed, and the road on the right side of the stele leads to a strange place called Erxian Mountain.
After a little hesitation, Ye Youhuan rode his horse towards the road leading to Erxian Mountain.
He has entered Hengshan once, but he only knows a trail that can cross the mountain, if Ye Youhuan takes that path, it is likely that the road will be noticed by the enemy, if the enemy also concocts the same method, learn from Ye Youhuan to cross the Hengshan and sneak attack those towns after Yepi Pass, then it will be troublesome.
