Chapter 55: Regrets Left Behind
The Death Cultists rushed directly towards Feng Liansheng, leaving no room at all, that is, they wanted to kill Feng Liansheng on the spot. Yu Chaogui and the military officers all led the crowd to protect Feng Liansheng behind them to protect Feng Liansheng from harm.
The setting sun stained the sky red, the blood stained the earth, and the night swallowed everything, leaving only the vast darkness.
Yu Chaogui took advantage of the night to protect Feng Liansheng and break away from the death cultists who came from pursuit, but the light of the torches not far away and the sound of swords and soldiers from time to time showed that the danger was not far away.
This was originally the territory of the Death Cultists, and Elder Mu quickly gathered many Death Cultists to intercept and kill Feng Liansheng. Especially after discovering Feng Liansheng's traces, there were targeted death cultists, and the scope was reduced, making it even more difficult for Feng Liansheng to escape.
"Where is Brother Wei now? How long do we have to go? Feng Liansheng, who was extremely tired, was a little desperate in his heart, and asked Yu Chaogui.
"Come on, cross this mountain pass, and walk a short distance further." Yu Chaogui knew that he had just walked halfway through the trip and was still far from Wei Zeng's army, so he just comforted Feng Liansheng so that she would not lose hope.
"Okay, let's go. As long as I can see Brother Wei, I can walk as far as I can. Feng Liansheng said.
"I have already informed General Wei, I think General Wei has sent someone to pick us up, and the Death Sect can't hurt Madame." Yu Chaogui said.
Feng Liansheng nodded and continued to hurry north.
The news of Feng Liansheng's escape, of course, reached Wei Zeng's ears. But Liu Yi also already knew that Liu Yi, who was preparing for a decisive battle with Wei Zeng, led his personal guards to find Feng Liansheng after handing over the command of the army to Fang Dayou.
Knowing that Feng Liansheng had fled, a certain person immediately organized the Guanxi Army to break through the obstruction of the Death Cultists and advance in the direction of Tianguan City.
Wei Zeng and a certain person had formed an alliance, and in response to the Western Army, Wei Zeng also led the army to advance in the direction of Feng Liansheng.
Because of one woman, the whole of Kansai became a mess; Because of a feeling, the three heroes will do whatever it takes to have it. Right or wrong, everyone is going crazy.
The Death Cultists led by Elder Mu locked Feng Liansheng and chased after them, and finally blocked Feng Liansheng in a valley.
It was only because Yu Chaogui and a group of Guanshan wrestlers fought to the death to protect Feng Liansheng that Feng Liansheng was not harmed.
"Demon girl, you betrayed the Holy Son and fled with the enemy, it is really an unforgivable sin. I will kill you for the Son today, so that you may not endanger the Son in the future. Even if the Son blames me in the future, I will bear it with all my might. Elder Mu said and ordered the Death Cultists to besiege and kill Feng Liansheng, who was already at the end of his rope.
"Cangtian, are you really so ruthless and won't let me see Brother Wei for the last time? Let's go, they're aiming for me. With your ability, you should be able to break through. Your name is Yu Chaogui, right, you give this jade pendant to Brother Wei, although I will leave a regret, but my heart will always be as close to his heart as this jade pendant. Feng Liansheng handed over the jade pendant to Yu Chaogui and was about to walk in the direction of the Death Cultist.
"Madam, General Wei is asking me to protect you back. How could I return in vain? If you go with me, I will protect you from the death. Yu Chaogui said.
"I'm dragging you down these days, and I know that. You don't have to lose your lives like this. Tell Brother Wei that I will always wait for him, no matter how long it takes. After Feng Liansheng finished speaking, he walked in the direction of the Death Cultist, and Yu Chaogui and the remaining Guanshan Lishi saw Feng Liansheng leaving, so they had no choice but to break through to the east.
When the Death Cultists saw Feng Liansheng coming over alone, no one shouted and shouted to kill anymore, but just made a way and let Feng Liansheng walk in front of Elder Mu.
"Demon girl, aren't you running away? Since you are so sensible, I will let you die a happy death. My daughter died because of you, and today I will avenge my daughter's wishes. "Elder Mu drew his sword and was about to assassinate Feng Liansheng.
"Elder Mu, after all, she is the wife of the Holy Son, and it is better to leave her life and death to the Holy Son." Several principals couldn't bear it, so they stopped Elder Mu.
At this moment, chaos appeared in the rear of the Death Cultists, and several teams of Kansai soldiers slaughtered among the Death Cultists. The leader of the team was the Kansai officer who stopped Feng Liansheng a few days ago.
Seeing this, Elder Mu had no choice but to let Feng Liansheng go and lead people to meet the Kansai Army.
After breaking through the siege of Hesu City by the Death Cultists, a certain person led his troops in the direction of Tianguan City. After the previous Kansai officers received support, they did not stay and immediately came to rescue Feng Liansheng.
Elder Mu retreated as he fought, retreating in the direction of Tianguan City. Soon Liu Yi led the personal guards to rush back, but Elder Mu finally failed to kill Feng Liansheng as he wished.
"If you're not careful, you'll almost run away. It seems that I will take you with me in the future and keep an eye on you all the time. I tell you, no one can take you away from me. Liu Yi said to Feng Liansheng.
Feng Liansheng glanced at Liu Yi, then lowered his head and closed his eyes without saying a word. Liu Yi was very angry, but he really didn't have anything to do about this woman. killed, reluctant; Don't kill, dry and angry. From childhood to adulthood, only Feng Liansheng made Liu Yi realize that his patience was so great.
"You have done a good job, Elder Mu is a little impulsive, if you don't stop it in time, I'm afraid it will make a big mistake. In the future, you will protect your wife, and I will reward you well. Liu Yi went out and praised several principals who protected Feng Liansheng.
Liu Yi, who was in charge of several things, was also very happy when he said this, and expressed his loyalty again and again.
After receiving the news that Yu Chaogui had successfully rescued Feng Liansheng from Tianguan City, Wei Zeng also led his army to respond. But Wei Zeng's 30,000 horses were blocked by the army of death, and it was so easy to break through.
When Wei Zeng received the jade pendant brought back by Chaogui, and listened to Yu Chaogui's words convey Feng Liansheng, his heart was a little sour, and his eyes were a little moist.
"General, let me go to Tianguan City again, and this time I will definitely bring my wife out." Yu Chaogui said.
"You've done a great job. Failing to pick up Li'er is also providential. It has been more than a month since we went to Kansai, and now the enemy's posture is to completely cut off our rear route. We can't stay here, it's time to leave. Wei Zeng was unwilling, but still decided to retreat.
"Aren't we in alliance with the Kansai Military Government? If you flank the enemy, you may be able to win. Yu Chaogui said.
"After the arrival of the enemy's main force, the blockade was very strong, and our food stocks could not last long. Yanbei is too far away to support us at all. When we run out of food and grass, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave. Wei Zeng said helplessly.
"But after such a long battle, so many people died, and nothing was gained, what is this!" Yu Chaogui couldn't help but say.
"yes, what! After so much effort, so much suffering, and nothing in the end, what is it! It's all my fault. Wei Zeng blamed himself.
"General, I don't mean to reproach you. It was my fault that I couldn't get my wife out. Yu Chaogui said.
"Don't say more, order the generals to pack up and prepare to withdraw from Kansai."
After more than a month of fighting, Feng Liansheng was not rescued, and all the land he captured had to be abandoned, and the Yanbei Expeditionary Force began to retreat.
Everything seems meaningless, everything has too many regrets.
"Li'er said that no matter how long it takes, she will always wait for me. Sooner or later, I'll fight back in Kansai. Maybe I should listen to my eldest brother's words, pacify the Central Plains first, and then march into Kansai. Maybe only in this way can we successfully rescue Li'er. Wei Zeng made up his mind to first set the Central Plains, and then plot against Guanxi. Not for what power and land, just for a person who can't let go.
Fang Dayou had been confronting Wei Zeng, and seeing Wei Zeng leading the army back, Fang Dayou knew that the opportunity to defeat Wei Zeng had come.
Liu Yi promised that as long as Wei Zeng was captured, he would become a law enforcement elder. Fang Dayou has been doing his best to make contributions in order to become a law enforcement elder, and this time he has such a good opportunity, he naturally doesn't want to let it go.
Now that Wei Zeng led the army to retreat, Fang Dayou has been biting tightly, constantly causing trouble for the retreat of the Yanbei Expeditionary Force. At the same time, a large number of Death Cultists had gathered in the Northland, cutting off Wei Zeng's path to retreat to Mobei.
"The enemy has a great appetite and wants to eat us all. There are many enemies in the north, and we can't go to Mobei anymore, so we can only go to Anyun's side for now. Wei Zeng decided to retreat to Anyun.
"But is Zhang Ling reliable? Although we have an alliance with the Power Sect, the Iron Blood Army has been destroyed, and it is inevitable that Zhang Ling will not do anything to us behind our backs. Yu Chaogui raised concerns.
"We can only retreat to Anyun now, and this risk must be taken. Otherwise, we will be stopped here by the army of death, and we will be in danger. Wei Zeng decided.
So the 30,000 Yanbei Expeditionary Army, avoiding the main force of the Death Army, retreated in the direction of Anyun. It's just that on the way to Anyun, there is also an enemy army in ambush. This enemy army of only 10,000 men was to intercept Wei Zeng and buy time for the death army in other directions to encircle.
In a bloody battle, the 30,000 Yanbei Expeditionary Force finally broke through the barrier of 10,000 people and successfully came to the Anyun Territory after paying huge casualties. Fang Dayou still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Guanshan battalion.
But when Wei Zeng led the soldiers after a bloody battle, got rid of the pursuit of the death army, and came to the Anyun realm, he was indeed greeted by tens of thousands of Tianjia troops led by Wu Zhuang.
Wei Zeng was worried in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and stepped forward to talk to Wu Zhuang.
Wuzhuang was ordered to guard the border, and now he encountered Wei Zeng leading a large army from Guanxi, and he was also shocked.
"General Wei, the Lord has already agreed on the boundary with you, and if you bring people to our realm without making a sound, I'm afraid it won't be possible." Wuzhuang said.
"We've just defeated the army of death, and in a moment of excitement, we forgot that this is the territory of our allies. I'll take my people and continue to hunt down the Death Cultists, and ask Brother Wuzhuang not to be surprised. Wei Zeng said with a smile.
"You defeated the army of death?" Wu Zhuang looked at the soldiers behind Wei Zeng, it was really like a fight, and he was a little shocked in his heart.
"Those Death cultists have gathered tens of thousands of people to fight me. But as far as those rabble, how can they be the opponents of my Yanbei Xiongshi. I took people with me, chased all the way, but I didn't expect to come to Anyun, I don't know if the Wuzhuang brothers have ever seen the remnants of the Death Cultists? Wei Zeng said with a smile, looking high-spirited.
"I haven't seen any Death cultists. Please also ask General Wei to take someone away. If there is a conflict because of a misunderstanding, it will hurt the harmony of the two families. Wuzhuang said.
"Okay, let's go back to Kansai and continue to beat the Death Cultists, and we won't disturb our allies. The harmony of the two families is naturally greater than everything else. After Wei Zeng finished speaking, he led people away calmly.
