The ghostly figures finally appeared in the light of the firelight, and the ochre-colored robes were as dazzling as blood in the raging flames.

Whether it was the young soldiers who were struggling to put out the fire, or the old and weak women and children who were running away, they all opened their mouths in surprise, and their eyes flashed with disbelief and indignation.

One of the warriors roared: "Despicable! Isn't the court going to recruit An? Why did you send troops and horses to kill ......?"

His questioning came to an abrupt end, and a dangling tip of the knife poked out of his chest and pulled it back. The warrior's body flickered, and he fell to the ground weakly.

The gushing blood stained the dirt beneath their feet and reddened people's eyes. The nearby soldiers threw down the buckets in their hands, shouted wildly, and rushed forward to fight the Han soldiers who came to sneak attack.

Soldiers from all directions rushed over in a steady stream to join the resistance group. The total number of soldiers in the valley reached 3,500, and although there were still many people taking care of the wounded and covering the old and the young, it should be no problem to divide half of them to deal with the Han army that came to attack by hundreds of them.

However, this group of Han troops, which did not exceed four hundred, burst out with astonishing and terrifying combat power, and they not only had extremely strong individual combat capabilities, but also displayed rare combined attack skills. Several people in a team, cooperate with each other, advance and retreat in a degree, the long knife in the hand is as fast as lightning, and a knife is chopped out, and there will be a catch. He killed the soldiers in the valley who surged up like a tide, and the corpses were all over the place, and he was almost powerless to fight back.

In this group of Han troops, there were a large number of masters, who plundered back and forth as if no one was around, and slaughtered more than a dozen leaders of the exiled warriors who commanded the attack in layers of protection, which made the morale of the soldiers in the valley greatly frustrated and the formation was chaotic.

Under the collapse of the situation, the valley has gradually become a Shura cemetery. The Han army chased the defeated warriors in the valley and launched merciless killings, even some of the old and weak women and children who fled.

The spread of fire, endless blood, and screams and screams kept coming from all directions, and the scene was so tragic that it could only be described in four words.

The spear in Zhang Niujiao's hand flashed, and he tried his best to stab the two Han soldiers who had been killed to the ground, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.

He shook his spear, shook off a string of blood on the tip of the spear, and then looked at Xiao Gu, who was like a fairyland on earth, and his heart wanted to drip blood.

In the firelight, countless figures were still running, jumping, and fighting, but he knew that everything was over. The soldiers under his command have completely lost their fighting spirit, and are being divided and slaughtered by the Han army, and can no longer form an effective resistance, and the men around him have long been scattered, or fall to the ground forever.

What's going on? He kept screaming this question in his heart! Could it be that Yang Feng and Chu Yan couldn't talk about rebellion, but instead attracted the revenge of the Han army? No, it's impossible! How could the Han army easily find the secret location where they were hiding? Unless...... Zhang Niujiao's heart trembled suddenly, unless it was Yang Feng, Chu Yan, and Bai Que who betrayed him!

"Ahh Someone screamed loudly.

Zhang Niujiao's gaze turned, and his eyes immediately froze.

The long knife in the hand of an ordinary Han soldier slashed out in a row, accurately swept through the neck of a soldier under him, and immediately stabbed into the abdomen of another soldier without any drag, and before the soldier's screams stopped, the Han soldier held the knife in both hands and pulled it down fiercely, and the crimson blood burst out, which actually disemboweled the soldier on the spot.

Zhang Niujiao shook violently, and couldn't help but take a step back, he finally saw the strangeness of things.

He suddenly lost his heart to fight to the death, and suddenly turned around, and was about to escape in the chaos. He wants to live and reveal the truth about tonight's tragedy!

"Humph! Still want to go? A piercing sneer as sharp as a needle came from his side.

Zhang Niujiao's body stiffened, his whole heart was like falling into an ice cellar, he slowly turned his body halfway, and looked at the comer.

A Han general walked slowly from the firelight, and on the long sword in his hand, strings of blood were still spilled along the road.

Although the Han general pulled off the face protection, the eyes that were exposed flashed with bloodthirsty and cruel light, and he said: "The thief has the first horns, and when he sees the official army here, he will die without his neck?" ”

"Officers and soldiers?" Zhang Niujiao stared at the Han general, his eyes showed a look of hatred that could not be washed away even if he poured out the water of the three rivers, and he suddenly laughed wildly: "With you rats who hide their heads and tails, you also want to pretend to be officials and soldiers to deceive me?" Dream on! ”

The Han will be stunned for a moment, and the murderous intent in his eyes will be even more intense: "Death is coming, and he is still talking nonsense!" How do I impersonate an officer? ”

"You probably don't know! Before Lao Tzu fell into the grass and Taihang Mountain, he was the commander of the Han army! Zhang Niujiao said coldly: "The Han army is full of open and closed and indomitable momentum against the enemy, how can you be as ruthless and vicious as you?" And with the skills of you people, just a small pawn has already defeated the ordinary Han army officers, where in the world did such a Han army come from? ”

"Good!" The Han general was silent for a long time before he spoke: "It seems that we actually underestimated you, a grass coward!" ”

"Grass Kou?" Zhang Niujiao glared at a pair of blood-red eyes, and roared angrily: "You have done this evil deed that has lost your conscience, just to perform such a clumsy poisonous plan, even if I am a grass coward, I am a hundred times stronger than you!" ”

The Han general stretched out his hand to pull up the face protection, revealing an angular and cold face, and said calmly: "Anyway, you are certain to die, remember your appearance, and you can be a clear ghost!" ”

Zhang Niujiao let out an earth-shattering angry shout from his mouth, and the spear in his hand turned into a shadow like a mountain spear, attacking the Han general like a mountain and a sea.

The long sword in Nahan's hand flickered, and under the refraction of the firelight, countless colorful sword flowers exploded in front of him, which was suspicious and suspicious. I only listened to the sound of "clanging bells" endlessly, and all the spear shadows in the sky had been scattered.

Just as Zhang Niujiao staggered back like a lightning strike, in the shadow of the sword that the Han general danced, a sword flower turned into a dazzling golden light, and stabbed towards Zhang Niujiao like lightning.

Zhang Niu's horns barely stood still, and the spears were framed. The sword was in the middle of the spear.

Unexpectedly, the shaft of the spear was not stabbed in two, but exploded from it, blasting out dots of broken wood chips, and scratching the surface of the horn with blood.

Nahan will take advantage of the situation to bully him, and his left palm is heavily imprinted on Zhang Niujiao's chest.

With a "wow", a terrible blood mist erupted from Zhang Niujiao's mouth, and the whole person flew away like a broken kite.

The Han general looked at Zhang Niujiao, who was struggling to the ground, sneered, and his mouth flashed with disdainful contempt, and he was about to stride forward and kill him with a sword.

In the flickering of the firelight, seven or eight figures flew out of the flames, and attacked the Han general regardless of their lives.

One shouted, "Big Boss, go away!" We're blocking him! ”

The Han general sneered and said, "A few miscellaneous fish, dare to come to death!" ”

The steps under his feet wandered, and the sword light in his hand was like a lightning flash, stabbing several people down in a moment, all of them piercing the heart with a sword.

Zhang Niujiao pressed his hand to his chest, struggled to get up, and was about to step forward desperately.

I saw two figures pounce on them together, hugging Nahan's legs, and letting Nahan stab a sword into his body, blood spurting from his mouth, but he still shouted wildly: "The big leader is gone!" Avenge us! ”

With a cry of sorrow like a wolf's howl, he turned and rushed into the darkness. He has already felt the passage of life, and if he can't tell the truth before he dies, these brothers will really die in vain! Moreover, the even more terrible result is that if the brothers in Taihang Mountain really fell for the scheme of planting blame and going to find the real Han army desperately, wouldn't it make him die blindly?

More than a dozen Han soldiers rushed over, and their swords came out together, instantly chopping the two men who were holding the Han general into pulp.

A Han soldier looked at the angry face of the Han general, and said cautiously: "Leader, that horn has escaped, should we chase it?" ”

"No need!" Na Han quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice: "He has been injured by my sword qi, and he has been slapped in my chest again, and he is already certain to die!" And in order to escape, he forcibly raised his breath and ran wildly, and he would only die faster! ”

He glanced at the fiery valley and ordered, "With this fire, the bandits from the nearby valley will soon arrive!" Brothers who died in battle on their backs, sweep away all traces, and we quickly evacuate! ”

"Boss Genius!" The subordinate laughed and said, "There are so many survivors who have already seen our Han army uniforms, so the more we eliminate the traces, the more others will think that the Han army is trying to cover up!" ”

The skyrocketing fire reflected the night sky, and more than ten miles away, a group of people and horses who were walking at night on the mountain road stopped in shock, looking in disbelief in the direction where the fire was ignited.

This is Yang Feng, Chu Yan, and Bai Que who led five hundred released brothers who were escorting 8,000 stone military rations back to the mountain overnight.

"What's going on?" Yang Feng exclaimed, "Isn't that place of fire the direction of the valley where the eldest brother is located?" ”

"Is it water?" Chu Yan frowned and said, "Although it is now the time when the sky is high and things are dry, this fire is too big!" ”

"That's not right!" Bai Que said with a pale face: "Big brother has always been cautious, how can he let the fire grow?" Something must have happened! ”

Chu Yan trembled, turned his head and shouted: "Everyone, abandon the grain cart and rush to the aid with me!" ”

"Wait a minute!" Bai Que stretched out his hand to stop him: "There are thousands of brothers in the Big Brother Valley, how can the enemy dare to attack rashly without strong forces?" With these 500 brothers, it is also in vain! ”

"What then?" Chu Yan yelled: "Do you want to let your eldest brother fall into danger and leave it alone? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu beat you! ”

"What nonsense?" Bai Que Zhengse said: "Leave two hundred brothers to guard the grain cart, and send a few brothers with fast legs, take a few of our tokens, and immediately go to the valleys to transfer people to help!" ”

"Xiaobai is right!" Yang Feng nodded and said, "It's really evil!" This kind of thing happened when the three of us were gone, even if our brothers saw the fire, but the dragons were leaderless, and they didn't know the truth, so they didn't dare to go out easily! ”

"As for us!" Bai Que slowly drew out his long knife: "Lead the three hundred brothers to save the eldest brother immediately, as long as you can drag the enemy army." As soon as our reinforcements arrive, it will be a sure victory! ”

Two hours later, Chu Yan and the three of them finally saw Zhang Niujiao who was dying.

He was sitting under a big tree beside the mountain road, and the look in his eyes had gradually dimmed.

Looking at the three brothers who rushed forward, a smile appeared on his lips: "It's right!" If you see the fire, you will take this shortcut to save me! ”

"Who the hell did that!" Chu Yan felt that the burly body in his arms seemed to be cooling down a little, and he screamed sadly: "Lao Tzu will definitely kill them!" ”

"Listen to all of you, big brother only said two things!" Zhang Niujiao's eyes suddenly flashed the last look, and no one knew that this was a return to the light, and the three of them wiped away their tears together and listened silently.

"The first thing, an enemy pretended to be a Han army to sneak attack, and his skills were extremely terrifying, and hundreds of people almost killed all of my men!" He spoke a little faster, almost unable to lift it in one breath, and took a few breaths before he said: "I guess, someone knows that we intend to accept Zhao'an's intentions, and they want to deliberately provoke disputes between the brothers of Taihang Mountain and the Han army, so we must guard against it!" ”

The three of them changed their faces when they heard this, but they didn't dare to interrupt.

"The second thing, after I die!" Zhang Niujiao struggled to raise his hand and pointed to a person: "Chu Yan, you come to lead the other brothers and continue to live!" ”

He looked at the stunned expressions of the three of them, and suddenly said softly: "It's not that the eldest brother prefers Xiaoyan, it's just that he is the strongest and has a wide range of contacts, only he can fight for the greatest interests of the brothers!" ”

The stunned and puzzled expressions on the faces of Yang Feng and Bai Que gradually faded, and the two glanced at each other and said with tears in their eyes: "Obey the orders of the eldest brother!" We will assist Chu Yan! ”

Only Chu Yan burst into tears, and said hoarsely: "I don't want to be a leader, as long as you live!" ”

Zhang Niujiao smiled slightly: "Idiot! Is there a feast that never ends? He turned his gaze from the faces of the three brothers again, showing a hint of reluctance, and sighed: "In the future, you can go down for me!" Remember, live ...... well"

His voice stopped suddenly, but when he saw his head hanging slightly, a smile was especially on his lips, and he passed away with a smile.

Yang Feng, Chu Yan, and Bai Que grabbed it at the same time and cried loudly together.

After crying for a long time, Chu Yan suddenly stood up and walked in the direction of the mountain.

"Chu Yan!" The white finch raised a pair of teary eyes and shouted, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Let's go our separate ways! Yang Feng, you go to the Big Brother Valley, save the dead, and gather your subordinates; White Sparrow, you are responsible for finding a good feng shui place for the eldest brother to settle down! Chu Yan stopped but didn't look back, and his words became quiet, and he couldn't hear any mood fluctuations at all. However, the whole person seems to have been reborn, as if he already has the momentum and mood necessary for a leader.

"No problem, but what about you?" Yang Feng was puzzled: "Chu Yan, what are you going to do here?" ”

"Go out of the mountain to find General Nan and ask him to help us find out the truth and avenge our eldest brother!"

Chu Yan turned around and said Mu Ran: "Since the enemy family is pretending to be the Han army, it means that they must be traitors, maybe General Nan will have any clues!" ”

"And!" He said firmly: "Don't call me Chu Yan anymore, from today on, if I don't help my eldest brother avenge my hatred, I will be called Zhang Yan!" ”

PS: Before the New Year's bell is about to ring, send festive greetings to your brothers and sisters and express your heartfelt gratitude.

Without your support and love, how could Bai Xue have persevered until now? It is you who have given me a heart of "tranquility"! Thank you!
