Volume 2 Xin Guo Chapter 93 Fight back
The border of Ryuwa Castle.
Deputy General Zhang Hu was staring at the soldiers on the other side, holding a red tassel gun in his hand, gritting his teeth fiercely and said: "Brothers, hold on, you must wait for the general to return!" ”
As soon as the words fell, countless arrows flew from the other side, knocking down the soldiers beside Zhang Hu.
Xiao Sheng's army of 50,000 had virtually surrounded Liuyu City, blocking Gu Beiyu's retreat back to the city.
Liuyu City has become an isolated island, only separated from Xiao Jun by a river.
At this time, several armies of the Xiao State were struggling to dig the embankment on the Liuyu Castle River, and once the embankment broke, Liuyu Castle would be flooded. The besieged Xin army was beyond the reach of the whip, and could only watch the embankment being chiseled through little by little.
Guo Cheng, the general of Xiao Guo's army, smiled proudly: "Now Xin Guo is finished, then Gu Beiyu is so conceited that he dares to attack the main force of our army, but I don't know that our prince has already laid a net of heaven and earth, and this time it is difficult to escape." Look at this group of Xiaoxiao on the other side, let's hold on, I'll see how long they can last. ”
"General's name!" The young general on the side flattered.
The two were chatting, when a strong wind blew, and the water of the Liuyu River gushed out, all falling on the soldiers of Xiao Guo who were digging the embankment.
"Where did the yin wind come from?" Li Min looked at the sun in the sky.
The sun, which had been in full bloom, suddenly converged its afterglow, and the sky was covered with dark clouds.
Hearing only a strange cry of "vomit-woo-", a huge colorful bird appeared in the sky and flew towards the army of Xiao Guo with fluttering wings.
"Where did the wild birds come from! Knock me down! The leader shouted.
A few arrows were just aimed at the bird, but in an instant, thousands of birds came out of thin air, hovering around the soldiers, the birds fluttered and their feathers shook off, like falling snow, and soon sprinkled around the Xiao army, for a while, the Xiao army became restless.
"General Zhang! Look! On Ryuwa Castle, a young general exclaimed.
Zhang Hu looked up, and saw a purple-clothed woman coming out of thin air above the river, holding Xiao in one hand and playing it, while slowly falling, as beautiful as a fairy. With that rhythm, bursts of mountain wind blew up, blowing from the northwest, bringing up the water in the river, and hitting the soldiers of Xiao State.
And the birds that had been flying around the woman in flocks flew away after a few circles.
For a while, everyone's eyes were attracted by Mu Wanci.
"Where did the demon come from!" Guo Cheng frowned and instructed the soldiers, "You guys get on the boat and go to the middle of the river to tie up that woman!" ”
"Will ...... Checkmate! This woman is weirdly ruthless! The soldiers on one side were a little vague.
"It's just a woman, just pretending." Guo Cheng said.
As he spoke, another gust of wind blew, blowing down from the high mountains in the northwest, just towards the location of the soldiers of the Xiao State. The wind seemed to be carrying some substance, which made the soldiers of Xiao Guo confused for a while, and it was difficult to open them, and the next moment, the substance in the wind blew up countless feathers that fell on the ground, and sparks collided in an instant! Suddenly, a sea of fire ignited and besieged the tens of thousands of soldiers of Xiao Guo in the center!
Xiao Guo's soldiers suddenly panicked, shouted, and became a mess.
Zhang Hu was overjoyed: "It's the white girl, it must be her!" ”
Looking at the enemy troops under the city, hope ignited in everyone's eyes. If it weren't for Bai Yanxiao's previous use of fire in battle, Zhang Hu would never have believed that she could trap the enemy army in a sea of fire in an instant.
"General Zhang, this should be the White Girl's fire technique, right? How did she do it? The young general on the side was surprised.
Zhang Hu looked thoughtfully at the high mountain in the southwest and said, "It's about borrowing the mountain and the wind direction." As if he had invisibly gained a kind of strength to support himself, Zhang Hu shouted loudly, "Brothers! Here's our chance! Good defense! Always ready to go to war! ”
"Yes!" The officers and men of the whole army have ignited their fighting spirit.
Seeing this, Zhang Hu and others picked up bows and arrows and combat equipment, changing from passive to active. The two sides were at a stalemate for a while.
On the top of the high mountain in the southwest, Bai Yanxiao clapped his hands with satisfaction, dusted off the dust fan in his hand, and prepared to go down the mountain. The Xiao army was besieged, but there were few casualties, because Bai Yanxiao was unwilling to add more killings.
On the other side, Guo Cheng couldn't get out of this circle of fire, and yelled angrily: "Waste! It's all rubbish! Hug up a few of you and rush me! How much can you rush out! Kill that girl for me! ”
After that, Xiao Guo's soldiers hugged together and tried to break through, but let the fire scorch their skin and cause casualties.
Gu Beiyu pursued all the way to Fenglin Mountain, and when he first entered Fenglin Mountain, a heavy fog suddenly appeared, surrounding everyone, and when he looked up again, Xiao Jun was gone.
"General! This place is very weird, I'm afraid there is an ambush! Qian Yi walked over, "The general asked Zhou Yi and Jiang Lin to bring a large army but didn't see them, could it be that something happened to them?" ”
Gu Beiyu shook his head: "I didn't let them take this road." ”
Qian Yi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly his eyes were happy: "It turns out that the general has long known that Xiao Sheng will choose the camp in Fenglin Mountain?" Therefore, it was arranged early in the morning for General Zhou to take another road, but it was just to hide people's eyes and ears that we deliberately made the enemy think that we had been tricked to break through separately! Wonderful, general! It's just that how did the general know in advance that Xiao Sheng would definitely set up camp in this Fenglin Mountain? ”
Hearing this, Gu Beiyu's gaze became deep and long, because this was the place where he became famous in a battle, and it was also the place of shame for Xiao Sheng. He will inevitably choose this place for revenge.
Eight years ago, the name of the regent of Xiao State had already resounded in the Cloud Desolate Continent, and everyone knew it. He single-handedly helped Xiao Yu sit on the throne and quell the foreign attacks of the surrounding small countries when Xiao was worried about domestic and foreign troubles, and became one of the three major powers in the cloud wilderness. When he became famous at a young age, he became the fear of all countries, so that all countries did not dare to make a mistake. Three years later, the young Gu Beiyu defeated Xiao Sheng in the battle of Fenglin Mountain, becoming another legend and the pillar of the Xin Kingdom. In the following years, Xiao and Xin sometimes fought and sometimes repaired, and the big and small battles were led by the two of them, and the two were not distinguished, one used the army fiercely, and the other used the army treacherously. Gu Beiyu won three victories in five battles, no longer a few, and since then, he has been praised as the god of war by the world.
"Because, here's his nightmare." Gu Beiyu opened his mouth quietly.
When he lost the first war, he lost his prestige, and now he has lost his wife and beloved, how can he not hate, and how can he be soft. Gu Beiyu tightened the long sword in his hand, no matter how difficult Rao is, he must go back alive, because there is still someone waiting for him.
The fog around me is getting heavier and heavier, and I can't see the road clearly. Obviously, Xiao Sheng knew the terrain here early on, and he must have been ambushed, and deliberately let his subordinates bring him in.
"General, what shall we do?" Qian Yi asked.
"Around." Gu Beiyu spit out a word, and a touch of cunning slipped in his eyes, "You lead half of the people to stay here, and the rest follow me." ”
"No! General, this is too dangerous! Your subordinates must not let you take people on adventures! I'll go for it! Qian Yi said.
"This is a military order!" Gu Beiyu was undoubted, "If you hear someone coming, you will do it!" Don't wait for us! ”
"Yes!" Qian Yi bowed his head and obeyed, leading half of the people to stay put. At this time, Gu Beiyu had already entered the foggy forest with a small number of people.
didn't walk for a while, Gu Beiyu suddenly stopped and said, "Everyone be careful, pay attention to your feet." Hearing this, everyone noticed that the artemisia grass under their feet had been passed, and there was an imperceptible rope buried, which would trigger the mechanism if they were not careful.
"Ahh For a while, seven or eight bamboos broke through the ground and pierced into the bodies of several soldiers, splashing blood on the spot!
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and everyone walked forward cautiously, not even daring to come out of the atmosphere.
"They're coming!" Not far away, Xiao Jun, who was ambushed in the woods, quietly mounted an arrow, and as long as Gu Beiyu's army took a few more steps, he would die on the spot.
"Stop!" Gu Beiyu frowned, drew his sword vigilantly, and stopped stepping forward, "The whole army is on the ground and divided into two teams, Qian Ying, you take Team A to the west and don't stop, Team B comes with me." After that, Gu Beiyu turned around and whispered a few words to Qian Ying, Qian Ying nodded solemnly, and led everyone to crawl away.
Not far away, Lu Sen, the general of the Xiao army, couldn't help but wonder when he saw that Gu Beiyu and the others had not moved: "Could it be that they found something?" ”
"Look, General!" The adjutant general on the side pointed to the fast-shaking artemisia grass not far away, "They are here, it seems that they are afraid, and they are crawling in the grass!" ”
"Everyone prepare, watch the movement of the grass, prepare to shoot arrows!" Lu Sen said, but he also frowned slightly, the artemisia grass moved into a piece and the speed was extremely fast, and he couldn't tell whether it was the wind or the human movement for a while.
"Shoot!" Several arrows were fired, and a few wails came out of the grass, but they still moved forward quickly and scattered.
"Boom—boom—" and several arrows were fired in unison, and there was a constant wail from the grass, but it was impossible to see people.
"General, this fog is filled, I can't see how many people the other party has injured, will there be fraud?" The adjutant asked.
"Then light the fire!" A flash of fierceness flashed in Lu Sen's eyes, "Shoot rocket arrows!" Hearing this, all the soldiers quickly took out the arrows wrapped in the oil and set them on fire.
"Give me the arrows." Lu Sen saw the movement in front of Artemisia Grass and found a clue, reached out and took the bow, and prepared to attack.
"Will ...... The general ...... "The young general next to him suddenly stuttered a little.
"Give it to me!" Lu Sen was a little impatient.
"Will ...... Look, General! That's like someone! The young general handed over the bow and arrow wrapped in fire oil, and looked at the artemisia grass not far from him with a pale face, which was swaying, as if someone was crawling towards him!
Lu Sen turned around and looked at the side, but it was too late! I saw that in an instant, a long sword flew in, Lu Sen subconsciously dodged sideways, and the sword pierced into the heart of the young general who had just spoken. The youngster spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down in disbelief. Lu Sen's face turned pale suddenly!
"Kill!" Suddenly, hundreds of soldiers stood up in the shaking grass and rushed towards Xiao Jun's position. Xiao Jun was so caught off guard by this sudden attack that the torch fell to the ground, igniting arrows stained with fire oil, and the fire suddenly spread.
Lu Sen wanted to retreat, but he was already surrounded, looked around, and said coldly: "Soldiers, their Xin army only has a few hundred people!" I am afraid that they will do something! Fight calmly! ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jun also calmed down and gradually moved closer, wanting to give full play to the advantages of their more than 1,000 people. Gu Beiyu fixed his eyes, this Lu Sen is a ruthless character, no wonder Xiao Sheng can let him stay at the Fenglin Pass. With his fingers clenched, Gu Beiyu suddenly flew up, pulled out the long sword on the ground, and rushed straight at Lu Sen.
