Chapter 170: The Bloody Way Home (2)
Go back three days. In the opposite direction of Shaxian, Tao Qian sat on the horse and sighed, shaking his head from time to time, obviously having something on his mind. By Tao Qian's side, Kong Rong also had a depressed look, listening to Tao Qian's long sighs one after another, Kong Rong couldn't hold back anymore: "Tao Envoy Jun, Yuan Shao and others conspired to ambush the champion Hou, although you and I were not involved, but we know about this matter, if the champion Hou really died unfortunately, wouldn't you and I become accomplices of Yuan Shao and others?" ”
Tao Qian glanced at Kong Rong and asked, "What should I do then?" The troops in your hands and I can only resist the princes all the way at most, don't forget, Yuan Shao and they have more than a dozen princes, not to mention, there are Wang Yun and others in the court who secretly support Yuan Shao, although you and I are sad, but our arms can't twist our thighs, alas-" As he spoke, Tao Qian sighed again.
"In any case, Rong is the great-grandson of Sage Kong, this kind of unkindness and injustice, Rong categorically can't sit idly by." Kong Rong said angrily. This is the first time in his life that he feels that Xiucai encounters the difficulties of soldiers, and there are some things that cannot be explained at all.
Tao Qian suddenly reined in the war horse and asked Kong Rong in an inquiring tone: "We don't have the ability to save Ao Junhou, but we can notify others to come to the rescue." As long as there is no real evidence, Yuan Shao and they can't conclude that it is the news that we leaked, so that they can not offend Yuan Shao, but also warn Ao Junhou, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”
Kong Rong said suspiciously: "But today, who can dare to wrestle with all the princes of half the world?" ”
Tao Qian stretched out his hand and pointed to the southeast, and gently spit out two words: "Sun Jian." ”
"That's right, Sun Jian's eldest son is Ao Junhou's apprentice, and he will definitely return to the army to rescue Ao Junhou. There is also Gongsun Zhan, who is a subordinate of Ao Junhou, and has great respect for Ao Junhou, and will definitely not sit idly by. We're going to have to find a way to inform him. Kong Rong put forward his opinion.
Tao Qian nodded, then turned back to his back and said, "Where is Meng Kui?" Behind Tao Qian, a man who was less than thirty years old rode a horse and replied, "Ka Da is here." Tao Qian introduced to Kong Rong: "This is a certain deputy general, originally from Jingzhou, surnamed Meng Kui, quite brave, and upright, let him go and inform Sun Jian of this matter." ”
Kong Rong laughed and said, "Great goodness! ”
Not to mention that Kada was ordered to chase after Sun Jian. Time comes back to the present. Outside of Shaxian, Ao Lie took a deep breath in the morning sun, suppressed the uneasy emotions in his heart as much as possible, and then turned his head to Lu Bu and said: "Big brother, for some reason, a boulder seems to have been pressed in his heart, and he is a little breathless. ”
Lu Bu comforted and said, "Maybe you're too tired, it's rare for you to get a good night's sleep in the past few months." When I return to Youzhou this time, I will have to recuperate for a few days. When the matter of merging the state is over, I will go to Jixian to find you and accompany you to get drunk. ”
looked at Lu Bu's concerned expression. Ao Lie felt that his heart suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and said with a smile: "Is the eldest brother bullying the younger brother too much to drink?" ”
After the two talked for a while, Lu Bu jumped on the back of the red rabbit horse and waved goodbye to Ao Lie. Led the army to the northwest.
Ao Lie silently looked at Lu Bu's back until he disappeared, and then let out a long sigh. Then he turned over and jumped on the back of the horse of the Shining Night Snow Dragon Horse, and asked Zhao Yun and Ma Chao to beckon the army to set off.
On the top of a mountain in the distance, Yuan Shao and the others hid their figures under the cover of the mountain rocks, quietly watching the movements of Ao Lie's army. After seeing Ao Lie and Lu Bu say goodbye, he began to lead the army forward, and a grim smile appeared on the corner of Yuan Shao's mouth: "There is a way in heaven for you not to go, and there is no door for hell for you to break in, Ao Mohan, since you are here today, don't think about getting out alive." ”
100 steps ...... Eighty steps...... Fifty steps...... Yuan Shao counted silently in his heart. As long as Ao Lie walked fifty steps forward, he was about to enter the net laid by Yuan Shao and others, which was not an open official road, with towering peaks on both sides, and Yuan Shao had already buried countless ambushes on the mountains on both sides.
Fifty paces away from the ambush circle, Ao Lie suddenly stopped, vigilantly observing the movements around him, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger. Ao Lie himself couldn't tell what was the cause of this uneasiness, but he intuitively felt that there was danger ahead, and it was a great danger. Ao Lie trusts his instincts, which is a special skill he has cultivated over the years of fighting.
Ao Lie stopped, and the army behind him naturally stopped, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao came to Ao Lie's horse, not understanding why Ao Lie stopped advancing. Ao Lie was just about to open his mouth to explain, when a rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from the side. Ao Lie turned his head to look, a big man wearing the armor of the lieutenant general came to Pegasus, and when he saw Ao Lie's banner, he shouted loudly: "Junhou! Hurry back! There is an ambush ahead! ”
Ma Chao stood in front of Ao Lie and asked vigilantly, "Who are you?" The person who came replied loudly while galloping on his horse: "A certain Jingzhou card answer, Yuan Shao and others have set up a net in front of them, and the prince and the marquis will retreat quickly!" In order to protect Tao Qian from being angered by Yuan Shao and others afterwards, Kada did not report who his subordinate was.
It was Kada. After he caught up with Sun Jian's team non-stop, he told Sun Jian that Yuan Shao and others were preparing to ambush Ao Lie, and then changed a horse in Sun Jian's army, and rushed to report to Ao Lie day and night, and Sun Jian led the army to arrive later.
"What you say, how can you prove it?" Ao Lie asked cautiously. Ka Da was in a hurry, but he couldn't explain it to Ao Lie, Ka Da knew that Yuan Shao must be hiding nearby, if he said Tao Qian's name, although he could make Ao Lie believe it, but he would expose Tao Qian to Yuan Shao. Gritting his teeth, Kada shook the reins violently, turned the horse's head and ran towards the official road, and while galloping the horse, he reached into his arms and took out a fire fold. In the bumps on the horse's back, Ka Da lit the fire fold with difficulty, and after sitting down the war horse and running on the official road, Ka Ta shook the reins to let the front hooves of the war horse trample on the official road twice, and then threw the fire fold in his hand to the ground.
This official road has already been buried by Yuan Shu with nitrate and sulfur, and covered with a thin layer of floating soil to hide people's eyes and ears. Kata urged the war horse to trample the earth, and after kicking the floating soil on the surface, the fire broke directly on the ignition under the floating soil, and the fire instantly rose and burned forward along the official road.
Yuan Shao, who was hiding on the top of the mountain, saw that the net he had laid was destroyed by a person who came out of nowhere, and stood up angrily. He couldn't care about hiding his tracks anymore, and shouted: "Release the arrows!" The ambush soldiers who had already been lying in ambush on the mountains on both sides rose in response, and the sound of tooth-aching strings was clearly transmitted to Ao Lie's ears.
The next moment, a rain of arrows fell from the sky, and tens of thousands of arrows even temporarily obscured the sun's rays. Xu Chu and Dian Wei rushed to Ao Lie's body first, blocked Ao Lie behind him, and then waved their weapons to shoot arrows for Ao Lie.
Ao Lie looked forward through countless arrows, and he saw that the Katarian and his horse were shot to the ground, and Kada smiled. struggled to use his mouth to convey the last message to Ao Lie: Some, I am fortunate to be able to fight side by side with the prince in this life.
Seeing that Ka Da slowly closed his eyes, Ao Lie raised the overlord gun high and roared towards the top of the mountain where Yuan Shao was: "Yuan Benchu! Someone is incompatible with you! ”
Ao Lie has the support of Xu Chu and Dian Wei, but the blood killing and tiger ben elites behind Ao Lie do not, in the face of the rain of arrows coming from the sky, even if the soldiers of the blood killing camp and the tiger camp are elite, it is difficult to drive all the arrows away one by one. Casualties are inevitable. Moment of truth. Ao Lie spent a huge amount of money to build the elite armor for the elite of the two battalions, which played a vital role, and the solid armor blocked most of the vital points on the body of the elite of the two battalions, otherwise. I am afraid that the casualties will be difficult to estimate. Even with excellent armor to protect themselves, under this round of arrow rain, nearly a thousand elites were still killed by cold arrows, and the rest were injured. Countless.
"Retreat! Go back to Shaxian! Ao Lie gave the order loudly. The elite of the two battalions waved their weapons and fired the arrows as they said and retreated.
The sergeant who saw his own side had a condescending advantage. The loss caused to the elite of Ao Lie's department, Yuan Shao's heart felt extremely happy, and shouted loudly: "Don't stop!" Keep firing the arrows! With Yuan Shao's order, there was another sound of string pulling, and it rattled.
Ao Lie was in a hurry, and shouted repeatedly: "Blood killing, dismount!" Defend your horse against arrows! "The war horses that Ao Lie equipped with the blood killing camp are all excellent horses, a whole ten thousand war horses, but Ao Lie spent a lot of money to buy them from all over the country, but the current situation is critical, no matter how good the war horses are, no human life is important. In Ao Lie's eyes, every elite who followed him was far more precious than these war horses. In order to save the lives of these elites, Ao Lie could only sacrifice these war horses, even if he exposed the secret of the three treasures on the horse to Yuan Shao, he did not hesitate.
After hearing Ao Lie's shout, nearly 10,000 blood killing elites turned over and dismounted, leaving their beloved war horses behind them to resist arrows, and then ran towards Shaxian on foot with the tiger elite.
The second round of arrows rained down, and the elite of the two battalions in retreat suffered casualties again, but this time because of the barrier formed by war horses, the number of casualties was much smaller than just now, and only a few hundred people were shot on the spot. After withstanding the second round of arrows, the rest of the men sped up and got out of range of the ambush soldiers standing on the mountain.
In just two volleys, nearly 2,000 people were shot and killed by the Blood Slaughter and Tiger Ben elites who crisscrossed the battlefield. Perhaps, Yuan Shao was not satisfied with this record, thinking that the number of people shot was too small, but Ao Lie didn't think so, at this moment Ao Lie's heart was dripping blood! Every elite of the blood slaughter and tiger ben is an elite cultivated after thousands of selections, and after strict training and countless wars, Ao Lie has poured too much effort and a lot of money into them, and every elite who dies in battle is like a piece of meat on Ao Lie's body.
And the elites of the blood slaughter and tiger ben did not live up to Ao Lie's cultivation and dedication to them, in the face of the overwhelming rain of arrows and even death, from beginning to end, no one let out a miserable scream! Every elite who was hit by the arrow gritted his teeth and stood up, broke the arrow shaft inserted in his body casually, bleeding, and followed Ao Lie to advance and retreat together. (To be continued......)
