Chapter 1536: The Price of Growth

Battle wasn't in the mudslide area, he was just close to the bend. He was not buried by the mud and rocks when the hillside slided, but the smoke and dust enveloped him.

Battle couldn't see in the smoke and dust, and all he heard was the frightened screams of the soldiers around him. Battle shouted at everyone not to panic and retreat immediately, but who would listen to him at such times? And there was a lot of noise everywhere, and no one could hear his words. The people and horses were running around, and the mount that Battle was riding was originally very well restrained by Battle, at this time, as long as he kept calm and waited for the smoke and dust to dissipate, but how could the Jurchen soldiers be so qualitative, they were scurrying around, and Battle's mount was also disturbed.

Battle struggled to restrain his restless mount and yell at the soldiers around him, but to no avail. The mount was bumped, kicked and bitten by other horses, began to jump restlessly, and began to be unrestrained. The screams of people and horses stumbling and falling down the slope on the other side of the official road were constantly heard in the smoke and dust, which made the Jurchen horses in the fog even more restless.

Battle made a decisive decision, he must leave here immediately, or he will die here. It's just too dangerous now. Do you know that the hillside on your side will not collapse? He didn't want to die here. He remembered the direction, so he turned his horse's head and rushed backwards.

The front was full of scurrying soldiers and horses blocking the way, and the mounts were constantly blocked by other mounts. Battle shouted at the top of his lungs, and they ignored the headless fly, and Battle finally stopped talking, picked up his mace and began to swing. Whenever there are people and horses in front of him, Battle will smash it with a big stick regardless of 3721. People block people from dying, and horses block horses from falling. The Jurchens are extremely barbaric, there is no moral restraint such as gentleness and frugality, they have only been in the mountains and forests from the wild people who drank blood to the present, and it is their most basic survival rule to respect the strong, so Batel actually didn't take the lives of the Jurchen soldiers seriously at all. What's more, this is a time of life and death, and there is no moral constraint. Everywhere the mace went, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and people turned over on their backs, and they were smashed out of a bloody road by him and rushed to and fro.

As the dust cleared, Battle rushed to the edge of the dust, and through the smoke and dust, he could already see the rapid retreat of the following soldiers and horses in front of him. Although it was chaotic, the Jurchen soldiers quickly withdrew from the space and reacted in time. Battle breathed a sigh of relief, finally escaping the catastrophe, and walking through the dusty area, it was basically safe. He was only a few steps away from getting out safely, and Battle lifted the reins and urged the horse, which leaped out of the dusty place when it landed.

However, at this moment, Battle heard the trembling sound of a creepy bowstring, as well as a crossbow. The click of the spring when the bow is fired. This kind of sound is actually commonplace for Battle, and I don't know how much I hear this kind of sound on the battlefield on weekdays. However, hearing the sound of bows and crossbows firing at this moment made Battle shiver all over his body. At this time, the bow and arrow shooting is the key to the dying person

, wearing smoke arrows is the most vicious. Of course, Battle himself didn't feel too dangerous, after all, he had rushed to the edge of the smoke and dust, and he was already more than a hundred steps away from the collapse. The arrows and crossbows of the enemies lying in ambush on the hillsides will also shoot into the dust and smoke, not in his direction and distance.

The next moment, Battle felt a pain in his back, and the pain was not very severe, as if he had been pricked by the tip of a needle. In an instant, his back was on fire. Battle thought it was a flying rock that hit his back, but he didn't pay much attention to it. His mount finally broke out of the dusty official road at this moment, and Battle finally breathed fresh air in his mouth. Battle gulped in the fresh air, but suddenly he realized that someone seemed to have grabbed him by the throat, making it impossible for him to breathe in at all. At the same time, the pain in his chest was unbearable as if it had been torn apart by his hand.

"Ahh Battle let out a muffled roar, and his backhand subconsciously touched the burning pain in his back, and then he touched the shaft of an arrow, a feathered shaft nailed deep into the back of his heart.

The next moment, Battle's body fell violently from the horse's back, and one foot hung on the saddle and could not be loosened. The mount sped away in fright, dragging his muscular body along the rugged ground of the official road, leaving a bloodstained path on the ground a moment later.

On the hillside, Lin Hu was loudly ordering all the soldiers to shoot the Jurchen soldiers and horses that were in chaos below, he didn't know it, just when he ordered a strong arrow to shoot a round at the end of the road at the end of the smoke, the purpose was just to block the Jurchen soldiers' escape behavior, but he inadvertently shot the opponent's forward general. Battle was unlucky, and he caught up with the arrows, and when most of the arrows fell in the smoke, only one of the Fallen Goose soldiers shot the arrow, but it hit him right in the back of the heart, and he died here. It can be seen that sometimes all calculations are in vain, and in the dark, it seems that there is a providence and destiny, which is so helpless and powerless.

The roar on the slope of the official road had already alarmed the soldiers and horses in the rear, Yalu did not spend a hurry to ask what happened, and soon after the official road was ambushed, the road ahead was blocked, and the news of Battle's death reached Yalu Buhua's ears, and Yalu was almost taken off the horse.

Everything was unfortunately said by Ali Bai, and the other party set up an ambush on the official road, blocking the official road. Their purpose is self-evident, it is not just to ambush their own soldiers and horses, their purpose is to trap their soldiers and horses here, they are to eat their own soldiers and horses. Alibai was right, by now, it had been completely clear that this was a conspiracy. When he led his army here, he had already fallen into the trap of Lin Jue. All this was planned and premeditated.

Ali Bai quickly rushed to Yalu Buhua's side, and the two looked at each other speechlessly, both of them seeing the horror and nervousness in each other's eyes.

"Brother Alibai, you're right, we've stepped into a trap. They are not small, they are going to crush us here. You say, what are we going to do? "Yaru

Buhua asked in a deep voice.

Ali Bai sighed and said, "We must rush out, and we must not stay here." Seeing that their reinforcements have not arrived, they are just trying to stall for time to trap us here and wait for their reinforcements to arrive. We are running out of time and must rush out. There can be no more unrealistic ideas. We must not stay here, or this will be our burial place. ”

"You're right, but it's reported that the official road ahead is blocked by mud and rocks, and the official road is completely blocked. There are still enemies on the hillside, how to leave? Yalu Buhua had no idea, and his mind was blank.

Ali Bai said: "The other party will not have too many people in ambush, if they really have a large number of people in ambush, they will already have the capital to fight us head-on." The fact that they play these tricks just shows that they are not strong enough. What we have to do now is to clear the road, we must immediately clear the ambush enemy, and then mobilize manpower to carry the mud and rocks to open the official road. That's the only thing we can do at the moment. In this way, I personally led my army to attack the enemy who was lying in ambush on the hillside and opened the way. The general was responsible for breaking off the rear and preparing for battle. I'm afraid that the enemy at the pass will take advantage of the chaos. You and I are one by one, to ensure that the morale of the army is not chaotic and the formation is not chaotic. What do you think? ”

Yalu Buhua nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, just do what my brother said, and Brother Alibai is reliable at the critical time." ”

Alibai sighed, "So what? Who called you and I am a grasshopper on a rope? Don't say it, go your separate ways. ”

……

On the mountain beam of Fangcheng Mountain Pass, Gao Muqing and Bai Bing received a report of the Jurchens' evacuation in the middle of the night, and the two women came to a high place to look down. Seeing the long line of enemy torches heading towards the official road, both of them knew that they could not pursue. When the roar and fire in the depths of the mountains sounded, the two women knew that it was the men led by Lin Hu who launched an ambush.

"Xiaohu doesn't know if he can stop them, with the strength of a thousand people, to carry out such a difficult task, I'm afraid it is beyond his ability. Sister Mu Qing, you should let me go. Bai Bing said softly.

Gao Muqing nodded slightly and said, "I originally wanted you to go, but my husband has high hopes for Xiaohu, but he gives him protection, so Xiaohu can never be alone." It can be seen that Xiaohu himself is also very unhappy. I think that if he wants to become a man who stands up to the sky, he needs such an opportunity to experience and prove himself. I think he has the ability, it depends on whether he can play the ability. I know it's risky, and if Xiaohu makes a mistake, not only will the plan fail, but he will also be in danger. But without going through the ordeal, Xiaohu will never be able to grow. I'm willing to take the risk, and I'm sure Xiaohu won't let me down. If Xiaohu really has a mistake, I will apologize for my husband's place. ”

Bai Bing took Gao Muqing's hand and said softly: "Sister, don't think too much, your husband will understand, he won't blame you." ”

Gao Muqing smiled slightly, looked at the noisy place in the northeast, and said softly: "Xiaohu, it's all up to you, don't disappoint me." ”
