Chapter 975: The Last City

Bell bell bell ~~

The rapid sound of gold sounded, and the order for the Han army to retreat sounded over the battlefield.

The scattered Han armies from all walks of life lost their will to resist as if they had been granted amnesty, and fled wildly like ants.

Jiang Xu waved the silver spear in his hand, and slashed three Wei horsemen who blocked him in a row, and when he heard the sound of gold, he breathed a sigh of relief, and turned his horse and retreated to the northwest.

"Jiang Xu, Pang De is here, where are you escaping!"

Suddenly, a thunderous shout sounded behind him, and Pound slapped his horse with a knife and attacked like a killing god.

Jiang Xu glanced back and saw that it was Pang De who killed him, and his heart was terrified, and his hands holding the gun instantly weakened.

The strength of Xiliang's second fierce general, how could he not know, he himself has a few catties and taels, and it is unknown whether he can block Pang De's knife.

At the moment when he was terrified, Pound had already struck like a hurricane, and the big knife in his hand rolled up the turbulent force of the raging waves, and slashed up in a mighty way.

Jiang Xu didn't have time to speed up the horse, and he knew that he couldn't avoid it, so he had to grit his teeth and raise his gun to resist with all his might.

With a loud cracking sound, a figure rose into the air, screaming and flying into the air.

Pang De was so powerful that he smashed Jiang Xulian into the sky with a knife, and flew seven steps away with blood all the way.

The others were still in mid-air, and Pound rode his horse from below, and the war knife in his hand was like a meat grinder, twisting wildly in mid-air.

With a terrible howl, Jiang Xu's body was twisted into seven or eight pieces, and fell in all directions.

Pound cut through the blood mist, helpless, like a tiger, and continued to ravage and kill those soldiers who had fled.

On the vast Gobi Desert, 5,000 Han soldiers were killed and wounded, and one after another bloody roads led straight to the entrance of the oasis.

Su Zhe admired this one-sided killing, raised his horsewhip, and sneered: "It's almost, it's time to go into the oasis and take a good bath." ”

At that moment, Su Zhe, escorted by Xu Chu and the royal forest cavalry, followed his unstoppable soldiers towards the enemy camp at the entrance of the oasis.

At sunset, the sound of killing gradually faded away, and the victorious Wei soldiers had all entered the enemy camp, leaving only the corpses of the enemy soldiers everywhere on the Gobi Desert behind them, allowing the vultures in the sky to enjoy a delicious meal.

At the entrance of the oasis, there is a pool of clear water, and the soldiers with dry mouths can finally pour water frantically and drink happily.

Some people were even so excited that they jumped directly into the pool, wishing that they would never come out after soaking in it.

Su Zhe stood on the edge of Bitan, drinking the cool spring water handed over by Xu Chu, smiling and watching the soldiers enjoy the joy of victory and carnival to their heart's content.

"Your Majesty, look who I captured alive!" A beautiful female voice sounded behind him.

Su Zhe looked back and saw Ma Yunlu galloping on his horse, carrying a bloody enemy general in his hand and throwing it in front of him.

"Look, who did you capture alive?" Su Zhe glanced down, and when he recognized the man, he couldn't help but smile.

The captured enemy general was the candidate he let go yesterday.

"Candidate, you said that you did something evil in your last life, you have such luck in this life, I only let you go yesterday, why were you captured alive today?" Su Zhe sneered sarcastically.

Hou Xuan was ashamed and panicked, hurriedly bowed down at Su Zhe's feet, and said in fear: "The last general is guilty, the last general is willing to submit to Your Majesty, serve Your Majesty, please forgive the last general's sin." ”

"There is only one chance, but it's a pity that you don't cherish it, who can blame it." Su Zhe's smile disappeared, the murderous intent on Yingwu's face flashed, and the whip was raised: "Zhongkang, cut off his head and pay tribute to the soldiers who died in this battle." ”

"No!"

Xu Chu picked up the elephant trunk knife and rushed up with a meteor.

The candidate was frightened, rubbed his ass back, and begged: "Your Majesty spare your life, Your Majesty spare your life~~"

Click!

The elephant trunk knife ruthlessly cut down, and the candidate's head fell to the ground.

Su Zhe didn't even bother to look at it, raised the water bladder in his hand, and laughed: "My warriors, enjoy it, raise your spirits, meet the follow-up soldiers and horses, and kill the city of Benlongle with me, and destroy the big-eared thief!" ”

"Kill the big-eared thiefβ€”"

"Kill the big-eared thiefβ€”"

The soldiers, who were already drenched, shouted frantically, throwing the clear spring into the sky, and the cheers echoed over the green field.

……

A hundred miles away, Longle City.

A river called "Dangshui" flows down from the Qilian Mountains and winds its way from south to north.

Longle City, the seat of Dunhuang County, is located on the west bank of the Dangshui River.

When the remnant sun was slanting westward, Liu Bei stood at the head of the east gate of Longle, looking at the other side of the party water from a distance, and his eyes were full of unease.

The dusk sun sprinkled on his body, and his back stretched from the city to the city, showing great loneliness.

A cough sounded behind him.

As soon as Liu Bei turned around, he saw that Zhuge Liang was struggling to climb to the top of the city with the support of Zhuge Dan.

"Prime Minister, why don't you rest in the house, what are you doing in the city?" Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward and supported Zhuge Liang.

"The minister was uneasy, so he came to the city to see His Majesty." Zhuge Liang's eyebrows showed anxiety.

"I have sent Yun Chang to occupy the entrance of the oasis, what else does the prime minister have to worry about?" Liu Bei smiled and said with relief.

Zhuge Liang took a few breaths and said silently: "The minister is worried that Yun Chang will not be able to hold his breath, and it will not be good if he is lured out of battle by that Su thief." ”

Liu Bei smiled: "Prime Minister is too worried, I have repeatedly told me that no matter what happens, Yun Chang is not allowed to fight, Yun Chang has suffered so many losses, how can he not have a long memory." ”

"Su Thief is treacherous, and the minister always feels that it is inappropriate, so it is better to let Zilong replace Yun Chang." Zhuge Liang proposed.

"Well...... this" Liu Bei touched his short beard twice and did not answer.

Of course, he himself knows that in terms of calmness, it is natural that Zhao Yun wants to defeat Guan Yu, and it is much safer to use Zhao Yun to guard the entrance of the oasis than Guan Yu.

But he has his own helplessness.

At present, he only has 10,000 soldiers and horses left, and the number of soldiers and horses who go to defend the oasis alone has reached more than 5,000, which is equivalent to as much as half of all his soldiers and horses.

With so many soldiers and horses, of course, he must be in the hands of the person he trusts the most to rest assured.

At this time, who else can be more trustworthy than Guan Yu.

Zhuge Liang knew what Liu Bei was thinking, sighed lightly, and stopped persuading.

The atmosphere became a little uncomfortable for a while.

"I heard that the Su thief only brought 30,000 soldiers and horses, as long as General Guan can keep him out of the oasis and drag him for a month, when the Su thief is short of water and food, the army will definitely collapse, and then His Majesty will take the opportunity to attack with a large army, maybe he can destroy the Su thief in one fell swoop, and finish his work in one battle."

Yang Fu saw that the atmosphere was not harmonious, so he smiled and imagined the blueprint, wanting to mediate the atmosphere.

Liu Bei's gloomy face finally squeezed out a smile, looked at the end of the oasis from afar, and began to daydream again.

At this moment, there was a lot of dust and fog in the east direction, and thousands of soldiers and horses rushed towards the east bank of the party's water, scrambling to wade across the river.

That army of soldiers and horses, under the banner of the word "Guan", was dressed in rags and armor, and the battle flags were crooked, completely looking like they had fled from defeat to death.

Seeing this scene, Liu Bei was taken aback, and the smile on his face that was so easy to ignite shattered in an instant.

"This ...... What's going on? Liu Bei's voice trembled, and he pointed out of the city in panic.

"Could it be that General Yun Chang was defeated?" Yang Fu also looked incredulous, unable to believe the scene in front of him.

"Sure enough, did you still fall for the Su thief's scheme, alas, ......" Zhuge Liang shook his head and sighed, and suddenly coughed violently.
