Chapter 207: The War Expands
Xiang Luyang turned around and walked out not far before he encountered the rebel army who followed behind, and casually made up an excuse to let them go to the side of the road to support Shen Aotian and them.
Although they didn't know how Xiang Luyang got in front of them, and they didn't know where Xiang Luyang's horse went, these people still held back their curiosity and didn't ask, because the order they received was to unconditionally obey Xiang Luyang's arrangement, and without Gao Biying's order, they couldn't open their mouths to inquire about a piece of information related to Xiang Luyang at will.
Back to the place where the horse was hidden just now, Xiang Luyang took a short rest, he had already seen Xing Jiamu and He Yue just now, and knew that the dead soldiers who came this time were all here, and Shen Aotian's side was at most just some Jinyi guards, not to mention that there were rebels behind Shen Aotian to help, but without those rebels, with Shen Aotian alone, those Jinyi guards couldn't help him.
Believing in the reins, Xiang Luyang walked along the road towards Shen Aotian in no hurry, until this time, he didn't come up with any reason why Shen Aotian could be in danger, it was not that Xiang Luyang looked down on those brocade guards, but that Shen Aotian was too powerful.
However, Shen Aotian, who was fighting at this time, was close to running out of oil, the qi and blood in his body were constantly surging, and the pace under his feet was getting slower and slower, his own injuries, he knew in his heart, if he couldn't take Lu Zhiyong down in a short time, then he had to choose to retreat now, and now he could ensure a safe withdrawal, if he waited a little longer, he was not sure that he would be able to retreat with his whole body.
But this retreated, Shen Aotian was a little unwilling, this was the first battle after arriving in Shaanxi, he fought so wolf, when he went back, everyone didn't say anything, and he couldn't get over his face, although there were traces of people walking on the side of the path, but it could not be ruled out that it was the enemy's temptation to divide the army, maybe now Xing Jiamu and He Yue are in front of their own road, otherwise Lu Zhiyong can't drag himself with his life.
The reason why Shen Aotian refused to retreat was not just for his own face, if this time only involved himself, then even if he lost some face, he would save his life first, but now there is Xiang Luyang here, Xiang Luyang has always regarded himself as a brother, at this critical moment, how can he dismantle his platform!
Thinking of this, Shen Aotian bit the tip of his tongue with his teeth to sober himself up, and put aside his messy thoughts, Shen Aotian began to deal with Lu Zhiyong in front of him with all his might.
Lu Zhiyong is also smart now, he has seen a trace of blood from the corner of Shen Aotian's mouth, and he also guessed that Shen Aotian may have suffered Yan Zhan's internal injury just now, so he is not in direct contact with Shen Aotian at all now, just blindly delaying time, in the time when there is a stick of incense, his reinforcements are about to arrive, before the reinforcements arrive, as long as he can guarantee that he will not die, today will be considered a victory.
Xing Jiamu and He Yue have already walked from the path, there are Zhou Wanhai and more than 30 dead soldiers to protect them, they should not have any problems, if they go along with it, they are now almost in Zichang County, if they return there safely, no matter how many people die on their side, Xing Jiamu will not hold himself responsible, after all, the people on his side are lonely, and the pursuit of them is still a large force of the rebel army.
Not only do they have the responsibility of attracting firepower, but they also have to be responsible for the break, even if the losses are larger, no one will have any opinions, everyone is a battle-hardened person, and they should know how dangerous their situation is.
One wanted to end as much as possible, the other wanted to delay time, the two of them kept wandering in the crowd, Lu Zhiyong was getting easier and easier, and now he could occasionally take action against some rebels who were close to him.
On Shen Aotian's side, the speed is getting slower and slower, it turns out that when he was chasing Lu Zhiyong, he could occasionally deal with those brocade guards, but now, he has no time to clone himself, and it has become a luxury to chase and kill Lu Zhiyong with all his might, because those brocade guards also found that Shen Aotian was a little wrong.
These brocade guards are all human spirits, and they understand the truth of your life while you are sick, so while dealing with those rebels, as long as they have the opportunity, they will give Shen Aotian a look, although this is not an attack at all in ordinary times, but at this time, it has brought Shen Aotian a lot of trouble.
The wounds on the body are constantly increasing, although they are all wounds inside and outside the skin, but it looks very terrifying, this time the leader of the rebel army who came with Shen Aotian is Hu Jinquan's descendant, and when he came, Hu Jinquan explained that he must protect Shen Aotian.
When Hu Jinquan explained to him, he thought that Hu Jinquan was joking with him, he was also present when Shen Aotian killed Song Zhe, and he also knew a little about Shen Aotian's skills, let him protect Shen Aotian, he couldn't do it himself, because the people who could hurt Shen Aotian wanted to deal with him, it was too easy.
Seeing that Shen Aotian had turned into a bloody man, the leader of the rebel army gritted his teeth and shouted: "Leave a few people to protect Shen Shaoxia, and the others will follow me and fight with them." ”
After forcibly pulling Shen Aotian out of the battle circle, the rebel army began to pounce layer by layer, without Shen Aotian, Lu Zhiyong could finally show his strength, and began to slaughter the rebel army like chopping melons and vegetables.
Looking at the constantly falling rebel army, Shen Aotian closed his eyes, knowing that there would be no more progress today, and just when he was about to order a retreat, the reinforcements who followed Xiang Luyang to chase Xing Jiamu finally arrived.
Just when he thought that there was going to be a turnaround, a team of people and horses also rushed over on the opposite road, and it turned out that the reinforcements from Zichang County also arrived at this time.
The reinforcements from both sides arrived almost at the same time, and before everyone had time to react, an encounter began, Lu Zhiyong and those brocade guards saw that the reinforcements from their side finally arrived, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, and they did it to the ground, and their lives were finally picked up.
After more than an hour of fierce fighting, even those who were beaten with iron couldn't stand it, not to mention that these people only started this hour of fierce battle after a long-distance attack.
To support Lu Zhiyong was Pang Qinghu, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, he brought more than 500 people this time, of which only 30 Jinyiwei were his own people, and the others were all garrisons from Zichang County.
On the rebel side, when they left the city, there were 400 people, and after the battle just now, more than 50 people had been killed and wounded.
