Chapter 17: The Flame of the Shadows Turns to Battle

The military order was like a mountain, and the 100,000-strong army set off immediately. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info soon it will be dark, and the rain will be heavier and heavier. The mountain roads were rugged and not easy to walk at all, the troops walked very slowly, and the five armies could not face each other at all.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Xue Yi ran to the back of the team and stopped a cronie, explained a few words in his ear, and the man understood, turned his horse's head and came to Lu Shaoyang, and said, "Childe, my general has an order, let you go with me." ”

Lu Shaoyang asked, "Doesn't he still have something to explain to me?" Why don't you come? ”

The man said: "The general said that the green mountains will not change the green water, and some words will be left until the time of goodbye, and now it is a good time for the rainstorm to fall, so go quickly." ”

Lu Shaoyang nodded, and followed the man all the way away.

Due to the low visibility, no one in the long line cared about the departure of these two men at all.

They rode their horses for seven or eight miles before they stopped.

Lu Shaoyang asked: "Dare to ask this little brother about his surname?" In the future, he will be rewarded. ”

The man said: "I just did what I was told, and Childe didn't have to thank me." ”

Lu Shaoyang asked again: "I don't know anything, and I hope this little brother will teach me." ”

The man said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Lu Shaoyang said: "Seeing that General Xue seems to be excluded by others, why are you obedient to him and willing to take the risk of sending me out?" ”

The man said: "Childe doesn't know, General Xue is the master of my family, and the villain's surname is Zhongli, and the word is Hao." In the early years, he walked the rivers and lakes with his father with martial arts, and later his father was plotted to die in the mountains, it was the master who saved my life and buried my father, and the villain has followed the master since then, although there are hundreds of deaths can not thank him for his kindness, the master asked me to escort the son, then it will definitely live up to the mission, so the son does not have to thank me, as long as I remember my master. ”

After Zhong Lihao finished speaking, he arched his hand and said: "I have to go back now, I'm afraid that someone will be suspicious later, Gongzi will go along this road, and you can reach the road after walking more than ten miles, and it will be safe when you get there." ”

Lu Shaoyang hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Since this is the case, then I will say goodbye!" ”

As he spoke, he was about to turn his horse away, when suddenly wolf smoke rose in the distance, and the sound of killing shook the sky, as if someone was fighting nearby.

Zhong Lihao looked in the direction he came from and shouted, "Not good! Something happened to Chu Jun's side! ”

He raised his whip and left, but Lu Shaoyang behind him followed.

Zhong Lihao said: "Why did Childe follow me? ”

Lu Shaoyang said: "You said that something happened to Chu Jun, how can I leave?" Then General Xue is my benefactor, and he is still in the team! ”

Zhong Lihao said: "Chu Jun detains Gongzi, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get out this time!" ”

Lu Shaoyang said: "One thing is one thing, since others have kindness to me, then I can't leave without repaying the favor." If General Xue is in trouble now, then who should I repay the favor? ”

Zhong Lihao had no choice but to let Lu Shaoyang go back with him, but his heart was full of reverence for this young man.

The two rode on horseback and soon caught up with the group. It turned out that at this time, the Chu army walked to a valley, where there were many strange rocks and narrow roads, and the team of men and horses had just arrived in the middle of the valley and suddenly hit a hidden arrow.

Countless arrows and feathers flew down from the mountain, and the soldiers in front of them fell one after another, apparently in an ambush.

The person who set up this ambush was the army of the king of Shu. Since the king of Shu fled to Nanzheng, he allied himself with the local barbarian tribes, vowing to regain control of Shuzhong. He promised the barbarian king Alida that if he could defeat the people of Chu, he would be named the king of Shunan, and the two would rule Shu together, and pay Alida a tribute every year since then. That Alida is a person who sees good eyes, so she naturally agrees. They calculated that the Chu army would take a small road because of a lack of food, so they set up an ambush in this valley and waited for Fan Zhong to take the bait.

God also helped them, the drizzle turned into a downpour, and the Chu army was not familiar with the terrain, so he was even more panicked now, and he walked into the valley in a daze but didn't know that the doom was near.

The sudden attack caught the Chu army off guard. Due to the narrowness of the road, 100,000 horses were blocked and separated, and they could not take care of each other, so they could only blindly dodge the arrows that came at them, and in a short time the front army lost most of it.

Fan Zhong was also injured in the chaos and tried to find a way out, but now that the rain was pouring and the team was in chaos, where could he escape?

Xue Yi's right army also folded a lot of generals, but they huddled in the corner but there was no way at all.

Zhong Lihao in the distance was so anxious that he wanted to rush over directly to save his master, but he was stopped by Lu Shaoyang, "You are looking for death in the past like this, not only can you not save Xue Yi, but it is really not worth taking your life!" ”

Zhong Lihao asked with a tense face, "What should I do then?" Didn't you say you came back to help your master? What's the way now? Can we just sit on the sidelines? ”

Lu Shaoyang thought for a while and said, "There are still ways to save people, you hurry up and find some branches, I want to make a fire." ”

"What? Firing? How do you make a fire when it rains so hard? What's the use of making a fire? ”

"Don't ask so much, hurry up and find it, I have my own way." Lu Shaoyang said.

Zhong Lihao knew that there was no other way now but to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor. He hurriedly dismounted and galloped out, and in a short time he brought a pile of branches wet from the rain. He lowered the branch, wiped the rain from his face, and asked, "What to do now?" ”

Lu Shaoyang also jumped off the horse, but he was holding the trick in his hand, and said: "Yin and yang are born together, and the five elements exist and perish." Brilliant Holy Flame, listen to my orders! - Up! ”

Suddenly, a flame rose from Lu Shaoyang's hand, and the fire flew straight to the branch as if it were alive. As soon as the fire came into contact with the branches, it rose a few feet, and it was strange to say that the branches, which had been wet by the rain, helped the flames grow higher and higher like dry wood, and the thick smoke and dust covered the sky and the sun, and soon drifted above the valley.

The archers of the King of Shu were so choked by the smoke that they couldn't open their eyes and couldn't attack at all. Many people are even temporarily blind due to the effects of smoke.

Where did the King of Shu see such a scene and was shocked, Alida on the side fell to his knees with a thud, and shouted again and again: "Mountain God, this is the mountain god is angry!" ”

When the barbarians brought by Alida heard that it was the mountain god who was angry, they all dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground and kowtowed. The king of Shu saw that this battle could not be fought, so he could only withdraw with the rest of the people. It wasn't long before Alida's men and horses fled with their armor thrown away.

Before the Chu army, which was trapped in a deep valley, understood what was going on, an ambush battle ended in such a blur.

At this time, a partial general suddenly spotted Lu Shaoyang in the distance and shouted: "Look, isn't Sima Gongzi over there?" Why is Sima Gongzi there? ”

When he shouted, everyone looked at Lu Shaoyang.
