Chapter 166: Zhang Miao's Desperate Situation
In a mountain road in the north of Yongqiu County, Zhang Miao rode his horse and galloped, followed closely by dozens of cronies and guards. And a few miles behind Zhang Miao and the others, an earth-shattering tiger roar sounded, shocking the mountains and forests.
Zhang Miao heard the sound of the tiger roaring behind him, his face showed anxiety, and despite the fact that the horse had already exhausted himself, he still kept waving the whip, leaving whip marks on the horse's buttocks, forcing the horse to burst out of its potential and flee quickly.
Yesterday morning, Zhang Miao led 30,000 troops to fight with Yuan Shu outside the city of Yongqiu, and finally suffered a crushing defeat under the fierce offensive of Yuan Shu's army, and then Yuan Shu stormed Yongqiu, and only took half a day to break through Yongqiu in the evening. Before the destruction of Yongqiu City, Zhang Miao left Yongqiu City under the escort of his cronies and fled to Chen Liucheng at night. But he didn't expect that Zhang Miao just rested for a while in the middle of the night, and was discovered by Xu Chu, the first fierce general under Yuan Shu, in the early morning.
Zhang Miao escaped from Yongqiu's back, there were hundreds of people around him, but he was killed by Xu Chu with the strength of one person to the current dozens of people, and if it wasn't for Zhang Miao's cronies and guards fighting desperately before, Zhang Miao might have died under Xu Chu's Huoyun knife.
But even so, now Zhang Miao is not out of danger, although Xu Chu was stopped for a while, but he is still chasing Zhang Miao, and now Xu Chu is only a few miles away from Zhang Miao, this distance is not a distance at all at the speed of Xu Chu's lava tiger.
However, in order to pursue Zhang Miao, Xu Chu also lost touch with the army. When Xu Chu came out of Yongqiu City to pursue Zhang Miao, he brought 500 people with him, but now only Xu Chu's eldest brother Xu Ding and more than a dozen other elite soldiers are still with Xu Chu, and the remaining 400 people don't know where Xu Chu was left behind. After all, not everyone can keep up with Xu Chu's pursuit speed.
Riding a lava tiger over a mountain, Xu Chu saw Zhang Miao at a glance who was galloping his horse regardless of horsepower, and immediately showed joy on his face, waved the Huoyun Knife, and a touch of Qi erupted from the Huoyun Knife, turning into a knife light that attacked Zhang Miao and his party.
The sword light slashed out, Xu Chu did not stop the pursuit, and sat down on the belly of the lava tiger with his legs clamped hard, urging the lava tiger to step forward, and at the same time said loudly to Xu Ding beside him: "Big brother, I'll go first, you hurry up and catch up." ”
Xu Chu had just finished speaking, and without waiting for Xu Ding's answer, he suddenly accelerated and rushed out.
The sword light Xu Chu just now was just to be able to disrupt Zhang Miao's party's mount, it was unrealistic to rely on that sword light to kill Zhang Miao, although Zhang Miao's strength was not strong, but he was also a master of the Yun Jin Realm, at such a distance, it was not a problem to dodge Xu Chu's random slash.
However, Xu Chu's original intention was not to rely on this knife to kill Zhang Miao, but to delay Zhang Miao's speed and create an opportunity for himself to catch up with Zhang Miao.
Xu Ding looked at Xu Chu, who suddenly accelerated and rushed out, with a bitter look on his face. This Xu Chu is good at everything, but he is not very good at acting with the army, and it is also thanks to Xu Chu's strong strength that few people in the world can match, otherwise with Xu Chu's character of often abandoning the army and acting alone, he would have been surrounded and killed by the army long ago.
But Xu Chu had already rushed out, and even if Xu Ding said something here, it would be useless, so he could only urge the demon tiger to sit down and speed up the attack.
On the other side, as Xu Chu calculated in his heart, the war horse that Zhang Miao sat down was shocked by a knife cut by himself, although Zhang Miao did not let Zhang Miao fall off his horse under Zhang Miao's strong control, but it also slowed down the speed, creating an opportunity for Xu Chu to catch up with Zhang Miao.
Zhang Miao's war horse was disturbed by Xu Chu's knife, and when he was spinning in place, Zhang Miao already had more than a dozen cronies around him to escort the horse and turned around and launched a desperate charge towards Xu Chu.
With the cultivation of these guards, who is no higher than the Iron Bone Realm, facing Xu Chu in the late stage of the Ning Gang Realm, it can be said that they are moths fighting fire, and there is no return. But these dozen Zhang Miao's guards still did it desperately, even if after this round of charge, their fate was destined to die under Xu Chu's knife, they did not hesitate.
Zhang Miao is a man who fights for righteousness and squanders money, and is quite famous in the world, and there are many people around him who are willing to die for him.
Xu Chu looked at the dozen or so Zhang Miao guards who rushed towards him, vainly trying to delay a little time for Zhang Miao with his body, and his face showed a trace of disdain. With the swing of the Fire Cloud Knife, a red cloud of fire erupted from above the Fire Cloud Knife, and under Xu Chu's manipulation, it turned into raging flames and attacked the dozen or so Zhang Miao's personal guards, enveloping all of them in the blink of an eye.
After a breath, the red cloud of fire dissipated into the air, and the dozen or so Zhang Miao's personal guards, along with the mounts they sat on, turned into charcoal, and they had already lost all their vitality.
Xu Chu urged the lava tiger to pass through the more than a dozen cokes, and the fire cloud knife waved, and the heat wave emitted from the blade directly turned the dozen or so coke into powder.
"Lord, let's go!"
Xu Chu's terrifying strength not only did not terrify the remaining guards around Zhang Miao, but instead inspired their protectors, one by two; stopped in front of Zhang Miao, and wanted to block Xu Chu with his own slighten body to buy time for Zhang Miao's evacuation.
Zhang Miao hadn't controlled his war horse at this time, watching the guards rush towards Xu Chu one after another, there was a little sparkle in his eyes, but then he was shrouded in a trace of despair.
Where can they flee now? This place is still at least half a day away from Chenliu County, and with Xu Chu's strength and the speed of the lava tiger, it won't take long to solve the remaining guards around him and catch up with him.
No matter where he looked, Zhang Miao felt that he was going to die today.
A few years ago, under the Tiger Prison, Lu Bu fought against Guan and Zhang, Zhang Miao said that he sighed at the strength of Lu Guan and Zhang at the time, but until now Zhang Miao met Xu Chu, he knew what kind of terrifying strength this level of fierce generals had, ordinary soldiers in front of such a strong man, even if there were many people, it could not pose the slightest threat to them.
The only people who can deal with them are the strong people who are in the same realm as them.
However, fortunately, the Gang Qi in the body of the strong person in the Condensation Gang Realm is not endless, and the physical strength also has a limit, otherwise with the strong strength of the Condensation Gang Realm, it will become a fact to kill thousands of troops with his own strength.
But there's no point in thinking about that now.
Zhang Miao looked at Xu Chu, who was riding on top of the lava tiger and surrounded by a crimson flame-like qi, his face full of despair.
