Chapter 54: Leaving the West Mountain
Wei Zeng and Feng Liansheng fled to the vicinity of the Xishan faction, and happened to meet Wei Zhen and Wu Linzi, who had also returned. Seeing this, Wu Linzi immediately supported Wei Zeng against Liu Yi. The fight alarmed the master and the elder brother, and the two of them also came quickly. Liu Yi saw that Wu Linzi was strong in martial arts, and he was already a little overwhelmed with one enemy and two enemies, and when he saw that someone came to know that things could not be done today, he retreated with his wish.
The master and senior brother were also shocked to hear the news that the Death Cultists had defeated the official army and fought in Hesu City, so they had to find the second senior brother to check the news. At this time, I saw that the second senior brother hurried back and confirmed the news of the attack of the Death Cultists.
"Master is indeed right, the army of death is coming, there are displaced people and routs everywhere, and this time I have not been able to buy enough things, and the shops are closed. In some villages, there was not a single person left. Zhen Haocai said breathlessly.
"Didn't I teach you to pay more attention to the outside? Did you find out until then? Master reproached.
"Master has had too many things to do in the past ten days, and I've been arranging the expenses of the sect. Who would have thought that in the past ten days, the official army would be defeated so badly, and the army of death would be killed. I had just found out the news and came back immediately, but I didn't dare to delay for a moment. Zhen Haocai said.
"Master, now is not the time to blame Second Senior Brother, the top priority is to get out of here as soon as possible. That person just now was the Holy Son of the Death Sect, and if he didn't succeed just now, he would definitely bring someone back. If we leave late, it will be too late. Wei Zeng hurriedly said.
"You're right, the first priority is to find a safe place first, you guys go and clean up, and we'll leave right away." Master commanded.
The elder brother's collection of books could not be taken away, so he put them in several boxes and buried them on the ground, and sighed all the time before leaving.
The second senior brother put the little gray donkey on the cart, and then put the gold and silver on the cart, and it was over.
After Wu Linzi cleaned up, he released the chickens, cats and dogs back into the mountains and forests, and reluctantly left with everyone.
The group was guided by Wei Zeng and the second senior brother, and several people followed behind and cautiously left the valley.
In the past winter, Kansai has changed color.
The Death Sect was in rebellion in the southwest of Kansai, and the Kansai Military Government sent 100,000 elite Kansai to suppress it. Seeing that the Kwantan Army was coming fiercely, and that they would not be able to take advantage of it if they resisted hard, the high-ranking Death Cultists carried out strategic contraction under the attack of the Kwanti Army, abandoned the twelve small cities, and concentrated their forces near Tianguan Castle, the main city in the southwest of Kansai.
The Kwantshire Army regained twelve cities in a row, and the enemy army retreated one after another, making the generals of the Kwantai Army all proud of the enemy, thinking that the Death Cultists were just a group of rabble, and they couldn't stop it at all in the face of the Kansai elite, so they didn't have to worry about handling things.
The Kansai guards were arrogant along the way, which made the people in the southwest complain. The Death Sect has been operating in the vicinity for a long time, and Elder Su is quite well-known, and the local residents still have a good impression of the Death Sect.
The Kwansai Army divided its troops all the way to defend it, and when it reached Tianguan City, there were less than 80,000 people left.
Tianguan City is a famous city in Kansai, if it weren't for the fact that the Death Sect took advantage of the fact that the guards were not paying attention at the beginning of the uprising, and sent people to sneak into the city and open the city gate, otherwise it would be difficult to attack it.
The Kansai generals started the siege battle with only some simple siege equipment made the enemy, thinking that they could easily capture the city, but they were unexpectedly met with strong resistance.
The Kwantai generals were furious and ordered their soldiers to storm the city. When after a day's siege of the city, leaving the corpses of more than 10,000 soldiers outside the city, the generals of the Kansai Army finally calmed down, not only calmed down, but were horrified, thinking: "It is really difficult to explain to the military government the loss of more than 10,000 people before this inch of merit is established." However, fortunately, the twelve cities were recovered before, and the main force was still there, and it could be mixed up with a little arrangement, so it seems that the siege of the city should not be reckless. But why did this rebel army become so strong all of a sudden? ”
Before the generals of the Kwanti Army could figure it out, news came from the rear: a city that had just been recovered had been attacked by the Death Sect again. The Kansai generals were shocked and ordered 10,000 men to come to the rescue, so they continued to besiege the city with the rest of the men.
A few days later, news came back that 10,000 men had been annihilated. The generals of the Kwantai Army were so shocked that they wanted to give up the siege and bring people back to defense. At this time, people from the countryside came and said that they had discovered the main activities of the Death Sect. The general of the Kansai Army heard that what the people in the countryside said was indeed conclusive and not a lie, and thought that he had made mistakes one after another in the past few days, and it would be difficult to explain if he did not make new achievements, but he also had some distrust of the people in the countryside, so he stepped forward to inquire about it.
Unexpectedly, when the Kansai general approached, the people in the countryside opened their mouths and shot out a poisonous needle, and then ran out of the tent with a long howl. The Kansai general was poisoned and died on the spot, and the people in the countryside were also killed with knives.
Then there was a loud shout of killing all around, and there were also people in Tianguan City who killed them. The Kansai Army had no one to command, and there was chaos for a while. Several lieutenants gathered their troops to break through.
After a war, less than 20,000 remnants remained. For a time, the offensive and defensive situation was different, and the Kansai army did not dare to fight according to the defense of the city.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and just when the military in the southwest was eroding, there was a rebellion of power cultists in the northwest of Guanxi.
The Kwanti military government was shocked for a while, and hurriedly sent the remaining 200,000 troops to encircle and suppress the rebels in the north and south. But he didn't want Liu Yi to take 10,000 elites to bypass the 80,000 Guanxi reinforcements and go straight to Hesu City.
The strength of the Kansai military government was empty and could not resist, and Liu Yi fought all the way to the city of Hesu.
Liu Yi has been inquiring about Feng Liansheng's news again, and recently finally found out Feng Liansheng's accurate news. Liu Yi also knew that the people in the sect had murderous intentions towards Feng Liansheng, so he quietly went to the valley alone, but he didn't want to follow him, and he couldn't get rid of it.
After Liu Yi failed, he returned to the camp and led hundreds of guards to kill them. After Elder Wu learned about the situation from Mu Yuan, he ordered several principals to preside over the siege of the city, and also followed.
At this time, although Wei Zeng and his party left the valley, they were in trouble, and a group of routs targeted Wei Zeng and his party, and they were about to sack everyone.
If they disagreed, the two sides fought together, and the Xishan faction had strong martial arts, and the five of them formed a shield wall to cooperate with each other to attack and kill, so that the rout of this team of more than 50 people could not take advantage of it at all.
After losing the melee battle, more than a dozen crossbowmen stepped forward to shoot crossbows. Under the command of the master, everyone held shields to protect the female relatives behind them for a while. Under the order of the master during the interval of the rout's crossbow shooting, five people flew axes and javelins and threw spears, and the rout suffered heavy casualties for a while.
"Rush, kill." The master shouted, and the five of them rushed towards the defeated army that was scattered in a scattered formation. The rout army had no momentum, and after being killed and wounded by five people, a dozen people were even more intimidating, and dozens of people were killed by five people and scattered and fled.
Before the people of the Xishan faction had time to enjoy the joy of victory, there was a burst of dust in the distance, and the knights of the brigade came galloping.
"The army of death, it's the army of death, mom, they're chasing after you. I don't want to die, I really don't want to die. "One of the routs had trembling legs and peed his pants.
"If you don't want to die, don't be stunned, run quickly." Another rout said by pushing him.
The people of the Xishan faction did not dare to stay, and hurriedly led people to escape.
The army of death rushed over and killed people on sight, and the situation was very chaotic for a while. In the chaotic army, everyone didn't distinguish between you and me, Wei Zeng took Feng Liansheng to fight out of the encirclement, and fled to the deep mountains and dense forests.
Liu Yi found Wei Zeng and Feng Liansheng who had escaped, and ordered the knights to ignore the others and chase after Wei Zeng and Feng Liansheng. Wei Zeng and Feng Liansheng relied on the dangerous terrain and the enemy cavalry was not easy to pursue, so they left the pursuers behind for a while.
"Big brother, do you remember that when we first met, we were also hunted down and killed like this. At that time, you and I were fleeing in the forest near Lu Ye City. I didn't expect that we would have to live a stable life for a few days, and we would have to live this kind of fugitive life again, but we just changed the mountains of Kansai.
"It's all because of me, and if it weren't for me, I wouldn't put you in danger every time. If you can't escape, you can leave me, that person is coming at me, and when he catches me, he won't chase you anymore so that you can live. Feng Liansheng sighed and said.
"Li'er, don't say such stupid things again. I was already full of regret for not being able to protect you at the beginning, and I will never let you be captured by him again if I rescued you this time.
"You are my woman now, and I Wei Zengruo can't even protect my own woman, and what face does I have to live in the world. Unless I die this time, I will never let you leave me again. Wei Zeng said.
"I knew you were a reliable person from the time you fled in Lu Ye City, and I actually recognized you from the time you made your promise.
"I was alone in the Death Sect, and I was hostile to those cultists, but it was because I believed that you would come to rescue me that I could persevere, otherwise I really wanted to go with Lu Ye's relatives.
"Sometimes I can't wait for you, and I've resent you, and I've said bad things about you in my heart, but I know none of that is true. I saw you come to my rescue a few months ago, and you have no idea how happy my heart is. I understand that you have mine in your heart, so I will give my heart completely to you. I will never be separated from you again this time, even if we die, we will die together. Feng Liansheng said with a resolute face.
"Okay, we're not separated anymore. When we escape, we will find a quiet place, a place where neither the Death Cultists nor the Demon Cultists can find it, and live our lives in peace, ignoring the rights and wrongs of all these things. Wei Zeng said.
Immediately, the two entered the mountains of Kansai.
"Holy Son, they have fled to the mountains, and we have ordered people to block the main road out of the mountains, and then search slowly. Now that the battle in Hesu City is important, let's go back to the camp first, after all, the military spirit is important. Miss Mu and the Holy Son are also tired, so serve the Holy Son and go back to the camp to rest. Elder Wu said.
"Then there is a labor godfather here. That woman, as my maid, colluded with outsiders and betrayed the Holy Sect, you must capture her alive, and I must personally punish her. If she died, it would be difficult for me as a holy son to face the hundreds of thousands of believers of the sect, and it would not be an exaggeration to take the blame and resign. I hope the godfather will help me. Liu Yi said.
"This Son is serious. Since the Holy Son is determined to capture the woman alive, the old minister will definitely obey his fate, and the Holy Son must not think too much, but still put the cause of the Holy Religion first. Elder Wu said.
"Elder Wu, what should we do, or do we want to take the opportunity to kill that woman?" A man in black said.
"Forget it, the Holy Son said so heavily this time, it seems that he is aware of our movements. Today, I went out alone because of this, but fortunately there was nothing wrong. I thought that with Miss Mu here, the Holy Son would forget about the woman, but I didn't expect it to work at all. This time, let's do as the Son says, and try our best to get the woman back alive. Elder Wu said helplessly.
