Chapter 846: A narrow road encounter

In the black sky, it was as if the Milky Way had burst its banks, and heavy rain seemed to be irrigated from the sky and fell straight down.

The grass on the ground can still stand proudly in the strong wind, and the downpour rains fall, and the grass that is not above the ankles is washed away by the rain.

The earth, filled with the scent of grass, was irrigated by blood and rain, and gradually dyed dark red, and the land was muddy, and the march was very difficult.

Fortunately, after the heavy rain, the lush green grass was wet by the rain, and it was listless and crawled on the ground.

Otherwise, whether it is a Xuanjia soldier or a bladed soldier chasing after him, it will be difficult to move an inch on the muddy grass.

The rain kept falling, the thunder and lightning in the sky gradually receded, and the strong wind blew and whirred, making the battlefield very complicated.

When the war started, the torch was extinguished, in the southeast of Jinyang City, in a large area, the five fingers could not be seen, even if it was close at hand, it was still impossible to clear and see the other party's things.

The sound of the rain and the whirring wind obscured the sound of shouting and reminding each other among the Xuanjia soldiers.

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves was also completely muffled by the sound of wind and rain, covering the traces of the march.

However, the rainy night also brought a lot of difficulty to the pursuit of the blade soldiers, and under the dark sky, there was no trace of the Xuanjia soldiers escaping.

Fortunately, when the lightning and thunder roared, Cao Aman and Luo Da basically locked the direction of the Xuanjia soldiers' escape, and at this moment, the pursuit in the dark and rainy night was reduced in difficulty, and there were many gains.

Only the main force of the Xuanjia soldiers was not captured, which made Cao Aman and Luo Da very dissatisfied, and in their military careers, there had never been such a thing as not being able to find the main force of the enemy.

At this moment, Xiong Kui, who fled in front, was in an embarrassing situation, but he took advantage of the dark environment to escape from the pursuit of Yanqi.

While escaping, Xiong Kui stretched out his hand to wipe the rain flowing on his cheeks, looked up in all directions, and the rain that came from the air hit his face again, forcing him to not open his eyes at all.

He tried in vain to observe the situation on all sides, and only felt that there were still Xuanjia soldiers on all sides, but he didn't know how many troops there were, and he was worried that Yan Cai would chase him, so he had to be patient and continue to run wildly.

Thinking about escaping from the cracks of Yan Qi, he can't help but have a situation for the rest of his life, if there is no help from this rainstorm tonight, he is afraid that the first Xuanjia soldier will have already become a ghost under the Yan Qi knife.

At this moment, the wind was raging, the rain was pouring, and it was dark on all sides, and the Xuanjia soldiers fled everywhere like no flies, and Yan Qi wanted to pursue, no matter how fast the speed was, he couldn't chase the Xuanjia soldiers.

After all, tonight's weather is not suitable for combat at all, let alone long-distance pursuit, unless Yan Qi has clairvoyance and ears, otherwise the dark night will become the biggest obstacle to Yan Qi's pursuit.

However, there is also something that makes Xiong Kui faintly worried in his heart, under the darkness of the night, the Xuanjia soldiers fled in panic, whether they can escape in the predetermined direction, it is difficult to determine at present.

Once they are separated and attacked by the Yan cavalry, the scattered Xuanjia soldiers will definitely die.

To make matters worse, the rain seemed to fall from the sky, wetting the clothes of the Xuanjia soldiers, and while running, the rain continued to flow down from the armor, and the whole body seemed to be wrapped in a thick layer of iron armor, moving forward in the muddy ground, making people sweat profusely and be sleepy.

The speed of escape has slowed down considerably.

In the rear, Cao Aman and Luo Da retreated early to put on their armor, shirtless, holding the blades, looking for the main force of the Xuanjia soldiers under the night of the vines.

The black color made the two confused, and occasionally encountered the Xuanjia soldiers, and there were small-scale fierce battles between the two sides, but it was difficult to find the traces of the main army of the Xuanjia soldiers.

The army moved back and forth in the endless grassland, out of this oasis forever.

Cao Aman's face was covered with rain and sweat, flowing down from the sturdy tendon flesh, dripping onto the mane of the war horse, and continuously falling to the ground.

wiped the rain from his cheeks, and was quickly watered by the heavy rain, and couldn't help but curse the thief God,

In desperation, he slowed down the pursuit and patiently searched for traces of the Xuanjia soldiers in the southeast of Jinyang City.

The rainy night environment was too bad, and they couldn't chase the main force of the Xuanjia soldiers, and the two of them were annoyed, if they ventured forward and were ambushed by the Xuanjia soldiers, the two of them couldn't afford it.

After all, in the dark night, even the Xuanjia soldiers fled from under the noses of the two of them, so what else could it be?

The heavy rain continued, and the blade warriors and Xuanjia soldiers, like lost children, circled in the vast area southeast of Jinyang City.

Occasionally, some of the Xuanjia soldiers who have fallen behind will take the initiative to throw themselves into the arms of the blade warriors.

Sometimes, the Blade Warriors will also collide head-on with the Xuanjia Soldiers, but unfortunately, it is still a small-scale war, and it is powerless to start a bigger war.

Time slowly drained away, the ground was washed out of the gully by the torrential rain, and the accumulated rain slowly flowed on the ground, and the area where the Yan army and the Chu army were located was a vast ocean.

At midnight, the pouring rain gradually stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, the sky gradually brightened, and the green grass was full of water droplets, and the crisp bird calls sounded in the grass.

Looking up at the sky where the dark clouds had cleared, Xiong Kui did not know where the troops had fled, and whether they were following the predetermined route.

However, in the darkness of the night, looking at the zigzag team, he was sure that there were at least 30,000 Xuanjia soldiers around him, who had broken through and transferred before, and lost contact with the main force due to the black shroud.

In addition to being sad, he was also secretly glad that fortunately, there were more than 30,000 Xuanjia soldiers by his side, otherwise, he would be alone, and if he encountered Yan Qi, he would have to die if he didn't die.

However, as the sky brightened and the moonlight gradually appeared, Xiong Kui not only did not dare to relax, but on the contrary, became extremely nervous.

The Xuanjia soldier escaped with the help of the dark night, at this time, the sky is getting brighter, observe in detail, the surrounding situation is clear at a glance, he is afraid that the Yan Qi who has just been thrown off will chase after him again.

Twisting the armor on his body, the rain fell to the ground with a roar, Xiong Kui asked the guards beside him: "Do you know where the army is, and how far is it from the east gate of Jinyang City?" ”

Half of the Xuanjia soldiers were lost in the escape, and he had to concentrate on the troops that feinted at the east gate of Jinyang City, strengthen his own strength, move towards the Yandong region, and quickly return to the Chu State.

However, the guards around them all looked confused, before everyone only cared about escape, did not pay attention to the terrain on all sides, and the sky was dark, they could not see the surrounding situation, and now where the army is, they are also black-eyed, and they can't tell the difference between southeast and northwest.

"Compass, use the compass to determine the direction ahead!" Looking at the guard's expression, Xiong Kui couldn't help but shout.

This battle was too wretched, and when he fought for a hundred miles, half of the Xuanjia soldiers were lost, and now he couldn't tell where the army was, and Xiong Kui had the heart to commit suicide.

If we can't determine our position now, doesn't it mean that the future is uncertain?

At this time, the guard next to him quickly took out the compass he was carrying, took out the map by the way, and stood in place to determine the direction.

Soon, his face was stunned, and he exclaimed at Xiong Kui: "General, the situation is not very good, our trajectory deviates from the east gate, and we are probably just south of Jinyang City. ”

"Due south?" Xiong Kui was a little puzzled and said, how could he run to the south of Jinyang City, he felt that it was right to move southeast along the way, and he couldn't help but confirm with the guards.

"The general is right, it is indeed south of Jinyang City!" The guards dragged the map and tray in their hands and placed them in front of Xiong Kui for him to see for himself.

Bastard, witnessing the pointing on the compass and the map, Xiong Kui couldn't help but shout.

The army deviated from the east gate, and went to the east gate road, afraid that the swallow was full of horses, and it was very dangerous, so it turned to the east gate, and it was afraid that it would be very dangerous.

Annoyed, a Xuanjia soldier ran up panting from behind, his face was haggard, and he muttered softly to Xiong Kui: "General, a mysterious army has appeared in the north of the army and is rapidly coming towards us?" ”

"Yan Qi?" Xiong Kui hurriedly asked, worried that the sky was getting brighter, and Yan Qi chased after him again.

The soldier was stunned for a moment, and said categorically: "No, it's a combination of infantry and cavalry, and the spies report that the opposing team is messy and looks like a deserter." ”

Deserter? What kind of deserters will there be here, the vicinity of Jinyang City is full of Yan troops, how can there be any deserters, I can't help shouting: "The whole army is hidden, prepare for war on the spot." ”

Tonight, he was pursued by the Yan army for hundreds of miles, and more than 30,000 Xuanjia soldiers were lost, Xiong Kui was angry in his heart, and when he heard that the soldiers reported that there were pursuers behind him, he couldn't help but prepare to set up an ambush on the spot to annihilate this army and take revenge.

Otherwise, without a decent battle, he led tens of thousands of remnants to leave, and he did not have the face to cross the river and return to the Chu State.

More than 30,000 Xuanjia soldiers received the order and quickly hidden, and soon, there were nearly 10,000 mixed cavalry regiments in the north, the formation was sloppy, and the infantry and cavalry looked embarrassed one by one, and marched quickly.

In front of the counterpoint, it was Liu Xuanyuan, who was repelled by the Jin State Hou Lin Xiao and led the remnants to flee, and next to him, in addition to the Liu clansmen, it was the family troops who followed him out of Jinyang City.

When the heavy rain was pouring in before, the troops who pursued them, after chasing out of Jinyang City for more than ten miles, encountered thunderstorms and lightning and retreated to Jinyang City, Liu Xuanyuan was able to seize the opportunity and flee in a hurry.

At this moment, the 10,000-foot cavalry army led by him was like a group of lost dogs, after the heavy rain, his whole body was wet, and his expression was very embarrassed.

The army hurried forward on the muddy plains, and they knew very well that if they did not take advantage of the thunder and lightning to flee quickly, once the weather was clear and the swallow horses poured out, they would be on the road to escape again.

What's more, Jinyang City changed hands, and the Yandong region returned to Yan Country again, they no longer had a place to live, whether they could safely escape the pursuit of the Yan army, go incognito in Yandong, and escape from the pursuit of Emperor Yan, it is difficult to predict.

However, at this time, the 10,000 cavalry fell into a panic, because there was a shout of killing not far ahead, and many cavalry in front had been shot by the rain of arrows that came silently.

"Kill, kill, kill!" When the cavalry fell from their horses, shouts of killing were heard from all directions.

Liu Xuanyuan was horrified in his heart, thinking that there was a Yan army ambushing in the south to protect the clansmen, he drew his knife and shouted: "Prepare for war with all your arms and move eastward in an orderly manner!" ”

At this time, Xiong Kui led the army to kill, took the lead, and shouted: "Kill the Yan army, and pay the blood debt!" ”

"Kill the Yan army, pay for the blood debt!"

Behind him, a large number of Xuanjia soldiers swarmed out, regardless of the exhaustion of fleeing, the whole army pressed the realm and rushed forward.
