Chapter 915: I'm Running Steadily

When Yang Jian woke up, the city walls of Liuzhou City had already been replaced with the national flag of the Great Sui. He was stunned for a while before he vaguely remembered what had happened before, but his last memory was a little vague, and he still didn't remember how he passed out.

With his cultivation, this kind of thing would not have happened anymore.

He was lying in the so-called palace bedroom of Shengtu in Liuzhou City, covered with a thin quilt.

"Where is this?"

He felt his voice drift as he spoke, as if it wasn't coming from his own throat. It was a special feeling of awakening from a serious injury, and he had experienced it two hundred years ago. It's just that after so much time, he has long forgotten this feeling.

"Your Majesty, this is in Liuzhou City."

His subordinate general Yang Chong saw that he was awake, and hurriedly replied: "The victorious army has been defeated, and we have broken through Liuzhou." ”

"Where's Shengtu?"

Yang Jian immediately asked.

"Dead."

Yang Zhong replied.

"What about the corpses?"

Yang Jian asked again.

Yang Zhong replied: "After the city was broken, Shengtu's body was burned by Dazi people who set up a pyre. He said that Shengtu was the embodiment of a demon, and if he didn't burn it, something very ominous would happen. Your Majesty did not wake up, and the minister only cared about sending someone to treat you, and then sent men and horses to pursue the remnants of the Shengjun, and by the time he knew it, Shengtu's body had been burned to ashes. ”

"Burned?"

Yang Jian's face changed, and he asked again: "Is it really burned?" ”

Yang Zhong replied: "It's really burned, the minister asked the soldiers present at the time, and many people saw with their own eyes that the people of the Buddha Sect carried the body of Shengtu and put it on a pile of dry firewood, and it was Da Zizi who personally lit the fire, and the people of the Buddha Sect also did a ritual, saying that it was to completely destroy the demon spirit of Shengtu." ”

Yang Jian's face softened a little, and he suddenly remembered something: "What about those firearms?" Where are all those muskets and cannons in Shengtu's hand? ”

"It's all ruined."

Yang Chongdao: "The people of the Great Freedom Sect gathered all the defeated soldiers of the Victory Army's firearms battalion, and then destroyed the muskets and artillery collected on the spot. He said that those things were all monsters, which could hurt cultivators, and they could not be kept. ”

"Idiot!"

Yang Jian scolded fiercely, and his heart hurt. He subconsciously looked down, and then remembered that the injuries on his body were indeed very serious. Although Shengtu's blow to his heart was no longer fatal to him, after all, the injuries that penetrated back and forth were still very serious, and he lost a lot of blood, so he felt weak now.

"Where's the Great Freedom?"

Yang Jian asked again.

"Pacify the people in the city."

Yang Chongdao: "He has only been away for less than an hour, and he has been waiting here." I heard that many people in the city were resistant to our people, and he said that he would go and civilize those people, so that they could know what was right and what was wrong. He should still be in the city at this time, do you want to send someone to find him now? ”

Yang Jian was silent for a while and then shook his head: "No need...... Send people to keep an eye on him, as well as those of the Buddhas. These people's minds are not necessarily the same as mine, and they can't relax. ”

"The minister has already sent someone to keep an eye on it."

"Hmm...... That's good. ”

Yang Jian struggled to sit up, but Yang Zhong hurriedly went over to help him sit down. Yang Jian looked at the sky outside and said, "Have we counted our casualties?" ”

Yang Chong said: "Back to Your Majesty, the casualties of the Ironclad Army have been counted, and the rest of the horses have not yet." Our ironclad army ...... this time Heavy losses, at least more than half of the attrition. As for what can still be used, two percent of them have injuries on their bodies that affect their combat effectiveness. I really couldn't imagine that the artillery in Shengtu's hand was so powerful, if it wasn't for the fact that the artillery suddenly became dumb in the middle of the battle, I was afraid that the casualties of the ironclad army would be even greater. ”

Yang Jian sighed: "Such a sharp firearm was destroyed by Da Zizi in a word...... It's true that the firearm can threaten the cultivator, but why worry? This firearm is not used on the battlefield specifically to deal with cultivators, once such a thing appears, how can it be stopped? Even if he destroys Shengtu's firearms, can it be that he can still destroy the firearms of the whole world? ”

His tone was full of distress.

It is not difficult to understand that now the ironclad army has lost more than half, and the remaining troops are less than 10,000 people, and the combat strength is not as good as before. If you can take the firearms battalion of Shengtu for yourself, then you can replenish the lost combat power of the ironclad army. When Yang Jian saw the power of the artillery, he couldn't help but think, if the ironclad army and the firearms battalion could work together, then there would really be no one in the world who could defeat him. I thought that the firearms battalion was the biggest gain in this battle, but it was all ruined by Da Zi and fluttering a word.

"Alas......"

He sighed heavily, was silent for a while, and then asked, "How many supplements do I have brought?" ”

Yang Chong's face changed, obviously a little reluctant to mention this matter, but Yang Jian's eyes forced him, and he had to answer truthfully: "There are only three people left......

Yang Jian looked down at the wound on his chest and sighed: "Bring the three of them in a while, they are not pure bloodline people, the effect should not be very good, is it possible that I will return to Chang'an now?" In the future, I have to think of a way, and it seems that I won't be able to last long by exchanging blood for life like this...... Freedom, will you surprise me?"

……

……

Outside the city of Liuzhou

The team that swept away the remnants of the victorious army had gradually gathered back, and when it was dark, there was only a sentry post of the Sui army left on the official road. A piece of land suddenly moved slightly, and then a pair of eyes cautiously poked out from under the "soil", and after looking around to make sure that no one was nearby, the person quickly came out from under the "soil", and then very quickly folded the things covering his body and put them into his backpack.

He didn't evacuate immediately, and the second senior brother moved his limbs first. This is what Liao Sheng once taught him, and Liao Sheng told him that if he can't get up and run immediately if he keeps a position for too long, he should first move some limbs to dredge his blood veins. At this time, the words that Liao Sheng had said to him before seemed to be exceptionally clear.

It's ringing in my ears.

Chen Zhenyu felt that his limbs had regained strength, so he chose a direction and ran out. The choice of direction is not arbitrary, but according to Liao Sheng's previous guidance, the most suitable and hidden direction is chosen. At this time, Liao Sheng's words that seemed so verbose and pointed at him before were all recalled in his mind.

The muttering to himself as he ran was all the tricks Liao Sheng had told him on how to escape.

"You can't cry...... Qianhu said that for the master of tracking and searching, the smell of tears is a big flaw. ”

He rubbed his eyes, and they were red.

Walking through a small forest, he carefully avoided the several observation posts set up by the Sui army in the forest. After avoiding the sight of the men, he rushed forward along a ditch as quickly as an arrow from a string. In order to ensure that no one was discovered, Liao Sheng only brought himself this time, and the rest of the Xiao Riding School were waiting dozens of miles away.

He had to rush back before dawn, and then send what he had written down back to Suzaku Mountain as soon as possible.

Chen Zhenyu didn't think that the things he wrote down today would have any impact on the future, he just felt that if he didn't do a good job today, he would be sorry for Liao Sheng. It was Liao Sheng who sacrificed himself to fight for his chance to live, and the piece of cloth in his backpack was a treasure handed down by Liao Sheng's master, but Liao Sheng gave it to him without hesitation.

There is no more brotherhood on the battlefield than this.

When he saw a small river in front of him, he jumped into the water without the slightest hesitation.

"Qianhu said...... If you encounter a river while escaping, don't hesitate to jump in. The river can hide the smell of the river, and even the most agile mastiff can no longer trace it. ”

He muttered to himself as he swam across the river.

After arriving on the other side of the river, he glanced back in the direction of Liuzhou, and suddenly had an illusion that this side of the river was one world, and the other side of Liuzhou was another world. After coming from the river, his nerves, which had been tense, loosened a lot, and his heart stopped beating wildly.

"Qianhu said...... You can't be nervous, you must always be sober, you must know clearly what you want to do next, you can't run away with the idea of escaping, you must escape with the idea of tracking. ”

He told himself, and then chose a direction that was not to go to the meeting place, and he was going to go back after a circle, and observe the moonlight, and he could guess how long it would be until dawn. With a little time calculation, he was able to predetermine how much circle he could go around.

After crossing a high slope, there are endless fields in front of you. It's a big patch of wheat, and it's harvest season. But because of the war, the people did not dare to harvest.

"Qianhu said...... While escaping, try not to expose your companions. ”

Chen Zhenyu reminded himself, and then rushed into the wheat field. It was a plain, and his vision was too wide for him to run, but to run with his hands and feet like a cheetah. This posture was extremely tiring, and it didn't take long for him to be out of breath. If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Riding School had all the equipment on his body, he put on thick deerskin gloves before entering the wheat field, but he was afraid that his palms would wear out after not long running.

"Qianhu said...... When fleeing on the plains, think not of a man, but of a beast. Because wild beasts have a far better chance of escaping than humans, wild animals can make better use of the terrain than humans. ”

He said as he crawled away.

"I also said it...... It's taboo to talk to yourself when you do things, you are a special mother...... Why can't you remember? ”

The voice drifted into Chen Zhenyu's ears from not far away, the voice was very light and fluctuating, and it could be judged from the voice that the person who spoke must be extremely weak.

Chen Zhenyu's body shook violently, then immediately stopped, hesitated for a moment, and then rushed towards the place where the sound came from.

More than ten meters away, Liao Sheng was lying in the wheat field, looking at Chen Zhenyu who came over, and smiled with difficulty: "But ...... If it weren't for you talking to yourself, I wouldn't dare to speak out. Hearing that it's your voice, Lao Tzu knows...... Can't die. ”

He had a lot of wounds, but he just knew that he couldn't die when his companion appeared.

Chen Zhenyu looked at Liao Sheng, opened his mouth, and then cried out, like a child who had had enough of his grievances and finally found someone to vent. That's right, Liao Sheng said that he couldn't cry, but at this time he didn't want to care about those things at all. He just wanted to cry, cry out loud.

"Have you had enough crying?"

Liao Sheng smiled weakly: "I've cried enough to leave Lao Tzu on my back...... Damn, those Buddhist guys almost killed me, just a little bit. ”

Chen Zhenyu carried Liao Sheng on his back, and then tied Liao Sheng to his back with a rope from his torn clothes, and he tied a dead knot under his chest.

"Don't worry, Qianhu, will you sleep first? I'm running steadily! ”

He smiled back, and strode forward.
