Chapter 293: The Power of One Man
Tuoba Ke received an order to let him guard the pass for ten days, during which no one was allowed to go down the pass, as for the previous order to let him capture the mountain pass was abolished, Tuoba gave up after a glance at the topography map of the first line of the sky, the pass of the first line of heaven is easier to defend and difficult to attack than the gourd mouth, Wang Yan can drag the army that did not hide Zang Feng in the gourd mouth for ten days, and he can hold the mountain pass and drag it until the arrival of the reinforcements of Daliang.
Although Tuoba Ke was unwilling, he recognized Wang Yan's strength, he had seen Wang Yan's battle from the lookout car, and it was most appropriate to describe it with the words mighty and invincible, as long as he was there, the Liang army on the gate would increase its combat strength.
Tuoba Ke led the troops to retreat down the mountain, Guan Ping held the coiled dragon in his hand, looked at the retreating Western Xia army with cold eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he could feel the reason for the retreat of the Western Xia army.
More than half of the 200,000 Liang women were already on the way back to Western Xia, Tuoba Meng left the defenders of the city, and the rest of the team was divided into ten teams, each team escorted 20,000 people, one team after another.
The route of the Western Xia army to transport Liang Nu was half a day's journey from the first line, Guan Lan quickly whipped his horse, rushed to the night road, and rushed to the foot of Fengwolf Mountain at dawn, and hid his figure in the forest.
Dozens of zhang away is the team of the Western Xia army, the Western Xia soldiers rode horses and walked on the outermost, inside was the Liang Nu who were tied up in a string, although the Xixia soldiers were scattered, but as long as there was an accident, they could quickly gather, just like the team of Liang Nu just tried to escape, and the Western Xia soldiers who were staring at the front and back quickly gathered over and suppressed the resistance.
The Western Xia army usually does not escort prisoners like this, they are divided into three teams, one team leads the way in front, one team presses the formation in the back, and one team wanders in the middle, but this time the Western Xia suffered heavy losses in Daliang, and these trophies can no longer go wrong, so they will scatter the team and defend tightly.
Guan Lan pinned her hopes on the defense of the Western Xia army, and now it is completely shattered, she wants to lure the Western Xia army away to create a chance for the Liang women to escape, those Liang women will definitely escape, even if they can escape one person, now that the hope is shattered, she has no ability to save those Liang women, and rushing out will only be sent to death in vain.
"Miss, let's go back." The guards looked at the formation of the Western Xia army and said to Guan Lan.
Guan Lan couldn't bear to go back, looking at the Liang girls in the team, tears were rolling in her eyes, they were all the people of Daliang, they were the people of Liangzhou, at this moment they were taken away by the Xixia people, the gate of the wolf pass was the door to the underworld, Guan Lan wanted to save them.
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking wind overhead.
"Miss! We're in an ambush! The guard shouted, drawing his sword and picking away the flying clusters of arrows.
Guan Lan picked up the feather arrow with a solemn expression, she didn't expect that there were Xixia people in ambush on Fengwolf Mountain! Guan Lan heard an arrow, and the team escorting Liang Nu instantly made up a team of 5,000 people to kill in the forest, and there were Western Xia troops in the north, east, and west, Guan Lan led the team all the way to the original road to break through but didn't want the original road to be blocked, Guan Lan could only find a way to live and go to the mountains, but escaped and fled to the edge of the wolf's head cliff, there was no way to retreat Guan Lan's arms were injured, lost his combat strength and was guarded by the Liang army at the rear.
There is a two-person high boulder standing on the wolf's head cliff, the side facing the outside is recessed, this stone is called Wangfu stone, there is a beautiful legend about it, it is rumored that there is a pair of men and women who love each other, the man defends the country and goes to the enemy country, the woman swears to wait for him to come back, the man goes out on the day of the expedition, the girl will send each other here, but the man died on the battlefield, the bones are gone, the girl still comes here every day after learning about it, until one day, the girl went up the mountain and never came back, the family went into the mountain to look for no trace of the woman, but there is an extra boulder on the wolf's head cliff, The hairpin that the man gave to the girl was inserted in a stone, and the stone became the embodiment of the girl.
Unexpectedly, ten years later, the man who was rumored to have died on the battlefield came back, and became a general, and returned to his hometown to find the girl, and wanted to marry her as a wife and take her into Beijing.
Suddenly, black clouds gathered in the sky, and for a time the wind howled, lightning and thunder, and then a lightning bolt struck the boulder, and the boulder was crushed, and the girl actually came out of the stone and said to the man who was crying: I finally waited for you back...
The girl followed the man into Beijing to live a happy life, and this stone was left here for future generations to remember their love.
The story is beautiful, Guan Lan leaned on the sunken stone wall, looking at the clear sky, holding a short knife in his hand, the tip of which was against the skin of his chest, intending to stab it into his body at any time.
I can't go back, I can't see my father again, my mother and my younger brother, I don't know if Liang Nu escaped when the Xixia army surrounded me, if I didn't die, it would be too worthless.
Guan Lan felt very guilty, the soldiers who came with him died too unjustly, too wronged, if he hadn't brought them by himself, maybe they would have survived until the end of the battle, and the guilt for them could only be repaid in the next life...
Time passed slowly, Guan Lan looked at the sky, wanting to take a more look at the blue sky, the hand holding the dagger began to sour, and the person was a little tired.
The sun swapped places in front of him, and the fighting behind him was much quieter, and the battle should be over...,
It was delayed much later than he expected, Guan Lan thought, tears formed in his dry eyes, and the moment the fighting ended, it was time for him to leave.
One more look at the scenery...
This glance lasted for more than a long time, during which there were two rounds of arrow raindown, and the sharp arrows clanged on the hard rock, only a few of them were inserted into the soil, and the rest were scattered on the ground, and the sound of fighting was still the same, and the movement was the same as before, and it did not decrease any longer.
With curiosity, Guan Lan put a dagger against his chest and poked out half of his head slightly, and couldn't help but scream at a glance!
"Second brother! What are you doing here! Let's go! Leave me alone! ”
"Hide in the back first! Don't come out yet! ”
Guan Lan froze when he heard this, his pupils shrank, this is not Guan Ping's voice, this voice is not unfamiliar to him, it is him! Why is he here!
"Why are you here?" Guan Lan panicked.
Wang Yan didn't answer her words, and with a sweep, he cut the three Western Xia soldiers who rushed forward in half, he had already killed a bloody man, and the blood on his body was nothing more than to make the dark red on his body more vivid, and he took the opportunity to turn sideways and glared at Guan Lan fiercely.
Guan Lan's hand shook, the dagger fell to the ground, the blood-stained hand covered his mouth tightly, Wang Yan's blood stained his body, even if he faced the light, it was difficult to see his facial features, there were three arrows inserted in his chest, although the arrow shaft was broken, there was still a section in his chest, and the whole person exuded a chill and a thick dead air.
Guan Lan suddenly felt a feeling of fear in her heart, hiding behind the Wangfu Stone, her body couldn't stop trembling, a coolness stretched all over her body, she saw two corpse walls piled up next to Wang Yan...
Wang Yan continued to devote himself to the fight, this time he was really forced to a dead end, Wang Yan had the confidence to fight desperately to escape through the encirclement, but it was impossible to take Guan Lan together, it was too difficult to take care of her in the army, but Wang Yan couldn't leave her behind, she was Guan Ping's sister, Guan Ping's family, Wang Yan was waiting for the sunset, waiting for dark, and waiting for their vision to deteriorate and try to take Guan Lan to break through.
Now all you have to do is stay up until dark, it's summer, it's dark late, and another hour!
Wang Yan roared loudly and soared into the sky like thunder, the surrounding Western Xia soldiers all showed frightened expressions, and the movements of the Western Xia soldiers in the front row showed an obvious pause.
Wang Yan saw the opportunity to kill a few people who were distracted like lightning, and picked up the corpses to the corpses on both sides, he couldn't remember how many people he had killed, two thousand or three thousand, this number should be there, fortunately, these Western Xia soldiers were not the elite soldiers of the Huo family army, otherwise he would have been exhausted.
A total of 20,000 Xixia soldiers were surrounded on the mountain, and the four leading generals were hacked to death by Wang Yan, and the remaining two were at the end of the team at the moment, and they didn't dare to step forward, their courage had been pierced by Wang Yan, and this one of the Yanyue knives killed alone from the back of the team all the way to the front, and then one person blocked in front of the stone and killed for nearly two hours! He's not human! Definitely not human!
The general shouted as he gave the order to charge.
"He's been badly wounded, and he won't last long! Whoever can cut off his head, I will take credit for him in front of the deputy commander!" "Talking on the mouth, but the drum in the heart, some time ago there was just a Liang general fierce man who made a dragon mace, and now there is a fierce man who makes a big knife, who are they, why have they never heard of it before? Cranky thinking is a manifestation of timidity, the two generals are already timid, the heads of the two inappropriate ones have been moved from their necks, everyone can see clearly, Wang Yan was under the left and right attacks of the two generals, and the two heads of the two were cut off with two lightning knives, simply neat! Intimidating.
However, more than 2,000 people were killed in the battle, more than one percent, and basically any battle will have a loss of one percent or even more, which is normal, but this adult is lost in the hands of one person, and things become very terrifying.
The Western Xia soldiers at the forefront wanted to retreat, they were unwilling to fight Wang Yan, and the Liang general in front of him who made a big sword looked like the end of a strong crossbow, but his knife was still fast, and those who rushed forward to fight him were all killed by him, and no one was missed.
The corpse wall shocked the Western Xia soldiers all the time, it was a corpse wall made of their own people, not Liang people, it was their own people, it was the soldiers who rushed up before, and they all became bricks and tiles of the corpse wall.
The corpse wall is half a zhang high, and a two-zhang long road is piled up, the height is unlikely to increase, but the length is still slowly increasing, because Wang Yan is still killing, keep killing, Xixia soldiers rush up one after another, no matter what kind of mentality they rush up, Wang Yan's greeting is a knife, the knife falls, and the death of Huangquan.
Guan Ping's knife was made of stainless steel, and it was also cut out by Wang Yan at this time, but the big knife could still break through the soft armor and cut it down, which shows how powerful Wang Yan's strength is.
When it was dark, torches were lit up in the Western Xia army, not much, because they didn't think they would kill until dark!
It's time to break through! A gleam flashed in Wang Yan's eyes, and he was about to retreat, when suddenly his pupils contracted...
