Chapter 369: King's Blade
As the saying goes, it is difficult to disobey the will of the people, but the military orders of the lord are equally unquestionable.
Even if Qian Wuwu's life and death are unknown at this moment, at this critical juncture when the whole army is withdrawing, Xiao Mulan also has to maintain the majesty of the lord, she hid the reluctance in her heart, gritted her teeth fiercely, and suddenly raised her hands.
"Everyone, everyone must remember that we are soldiers, not hard labor!"
Seeing the barbarian warriors who got along day and night, all of them looked drooping their heads and looking depressed, Mulan who didn't dare to be careless, immediately continued: "I can swear here, in this battle, no matter what life or death, as long as the baggage team can return to the empire safely, everyone who participates in the war now, regardless of race, will finally get more rewards than you can take away." ”
"More?" Pigliu and Shylock raised their heads abruptly and asked in surprise.
Mulan, who had already overstepped her authority to make a decision, naturally would not back down, she nodded solemnly: "More!" ”
"Then burn!" Pigliu raised his hand through gritted teeth and swung it down.
"Burn!" Shylock's out-of-tune voice was completely distorted.
"Burn!" Mulan's voice was loud, all she had to do now was to firmly carry out the lord's plan, and as for the punishment afterwards, it was no longer in her consideration.
The blazing torch poured into the Jixiang Peak Baggage Camp, and the flames that rushed to the sky burst into flames, and the entire mountain seemed to have turned into a dancing flame, burning out.
The fire at Jixiangfeng is the signal for the general evacuation.
The winter sunset is gradually sinking into the mountains, low mountains with gold edges. Sparkling. A golden red wild boar on the background. The auspicious peak with thick smoke is extremely eye-catching, even if it is dozens of miles away, you can see it clearly.
Li Pojun, who was responsible for disrupting the audio-visual and feint to attack the wild boar camp, immediately issued an order for the entire army to evacuate.
The troops led by Zhang Wuwei, Jiao Dahu and Dian Jun withdrew as soon as possible, but the emperor ** soldiers scattered in all directions. But most of them are still immersed in the thrill of looting supplies and looting.
Almost half of the emperor's ** defeated soldiers did not follow the instructions, a middle-aged man in a tattered silk robe, even riding a pack horse with crutches and ragged subordinates, holding high the scorched banner and blocking in front of Li Pojun.
"Who told you to give the order to evacuate?" There was a taste of disdain in the swaggering tone.
Li Pojun, who frowned, said loudly: "Your Excellency Lord has an order, Jixiang Peak is on fire." The whole army withdrew. ”
The middle-aged man on horseback snorted coldly: "Lord? What lord? You call him over, I'm Viscount Li Kaiyuan. The mission of our Third Route Army is to smash Uros and put down the Boar Rebellion. ”
The Viscount of the Empire, the fiefdom lord corresponding to small and medium-sized cities, is quite capable of bluffing people with such a name!
Li Pojun was a native of the empire, he was subconsciously stunned on the spot, and he didn't know how to say it for a while.
After all, Qian Wuwu's title is only the same as Li Pojun's, just a small fiefdom knight, in terms of prestige, where can it be comparable to the viscount?
Li Pojun and his heralds fell silent because of this.
"Hmph, knight, I order you, bring your soldiers at once, kill them all for me, and break through the camp of the boar people!"
The impatient Viscount Li Kaiyuan roared loudly, but before Li Pojun could make a statement, a team of wild boar cavalry suddenly rushed out of the slopes of the mountains and forests in the oblique thorns.
As soon as the boar man appeared, he raised the speed.
The heavy boar rode the beast and howled again and again, and in the trembling of the earthquake, the sound of thunderous hooves became more and more deafening, and in an instant, the torrent of iron armor rolled down, and the white light of the snow rose to the sky, pouring like water.
Viscount Li Kaiyuan, who was in front of the wild boar cavalry queue, was swept in by white light before he could react, and in the blink of an eye, the sky was already filled with blood mist.
The galloping boar man, after cutting down the charred battle flag, rushed down the hillside without hesitation, pointing straight at the camp in the distance.
But the dazzling white light was still blooming in front of Li Pojun's eyes, and he swore that this was the power of the law, the real power of the law, and the power of the law at the legion level!
Li Pojun, who was trembling all over, was drenched in cold sweat, in fact, he didn't react at all just now, but the cavalry of the wild boar people had already swept past and gradually drifted away.
It wasn't until this moment that Li Pojun suddenly discovered that a white tiger battle flag was moving forward with the terrifying wild boar man queue, waving in the wind.
Is that the battle flag of the third prince of pig!?
Li Pojun was stunned, and Qian Wuwu's words seemed to appear in his ears again: "The third prince of pigs, gifted with the power of the white tiger, is known as invincible, in this battle, if you meet him alone, don't hesitate, just run away immediately!" ”
Run away?
When encountering that kind of ruined cavalry rushing array, can you really escape?
Li Pojun, who only had a small team of heralds by his side, couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself on his good fortune, but suddenly, he felt a slimy feeling on his cheeks, and when he reached out, the warm blood suddenly soaked his fingers.
The moment he turned around, Li Pojun found that he and his herald squad were covered in filth by the agitated blood mist, and the scarlet color under the firelight seemed to remind him that what had just happened was by no means illusory.
"Look, my lord!"
Li Pojun was observing his own personal soldier team, and he saw the soldier on his side, pointing behind him, looking back, Li Pojun only felt a biting cold.
A shining white light was advancing in the twilight flames, and the invincible Senhan sword seemed to have pierced into the cream, cutting through the emperor's military formation with great sharpness.
One after another, the emperor's ** battle flags fell down one after another, and soon fell into flames and disappeared.
"Withdraw! Let's withdraw! Li Pojun shouted again and again, he was no longer interested, he cared about the life and death of the arrogant warriors, and he was not interested in saving more imperial routs.
Any trouble that does not listen to the generals should be left to fend for themselves!
Li Pojun, who was carrying a war horse, went all the way south and quickly caught up with the queue of Zhang Wuwei, Jiao Dahu and Dian Jun, but this large army of thousands of people broke out into a more violent conflict again at the moment of merging with the baggage team.
The three teams of soldiers under the banner of the Imperial Baron actually surrounded Li Pojun and others, who organized and coordinated the evacuation, and in the peripheral places, some soldiers rushed into the baggage convoy, pushed the cart off the road again and again, and crashed into a deep ditch.
"Boy, obediently hand over the military power, and then let these people clean the road for the uncle!"
A guy riding a tall horse and wearing a gorgeous flag stood in front of Li Pojun's eyes, and his arrogant face was full of resentment in addition to arrogance and contempt.
"Hmph, but a little knight dares to command the Baron in vain, are you going to rebel?"
"Boy, your armor looks good! Take it off and dedicate it to Lord Baron! ”
"God, look, their swords are all high-quality magical items, Lord Baron, we have made a fortune!"
In the buzz, the group of chaotic soldiers was in a commotion, and a few bold guys rushed straight towards Li Pojun, who was sweating profusely, and stretched out their hands to forcibly snatch his magic sword.
"Stop!" Li Pojun suddenly drew his sword, but the shining cold light was not enough to deter the profit-hungry rebels.
During the scramble, Li Pojun stabbed the rebels to death with a sword, but at the moment when the blood burst out, the stimulated rebels broke out into a loud noise, and a larger-scale riot was about to happen.
Before Li Pojun could shout the words of suppression, a clear voice came from the night sky in the north: "Put down your arms, those who make trouble, you will not be forgiven!" ”
In the sound of horses' hooves, Mulan, who was carrying a meteor spear, charged over.
The little servant who took the lead rushed directly into the core of the rebels, and the three baron-level imperial warriors were picked off by her one after another in an instant.
Then, a group of wild warriors with big shoulders and round waists pounced on them in the posture of eagles catching chickens.
Except for a few stubborn family members who were knocked down, the rest of the rebels were all stunned on the spot.
Li Pojun threw an inquiring look at Mulan at that time, but the reply he got was a girl's complicated gaze with a little helplessness and worry.
Although Mulan was bold enough to suppress the rebellion in front of her, the Five Elements Warriors who were groaning on the ground were all Baron-level Scholars of Yandi in the end.
But at this point, Mulan can only do it.
"Tie them all up!" Mulan commanded loudly, her crisp voice shaking the three barons on the ground.
"Whose family are you, how can you go to war? What a system this becomes! ”
"Poisonous woman, you are ignorant, you have aroused the anger of our Lu family, I swear, you will regret it!"
"Shameless woman, the filthy yin qi on your body is the culprit of our loss of victory, Calamity!"
Mulan, who was biting her lip, heard the repeated disdain and scolding, and tears of humiliation flowed down at that time, but what she cared more about than the insult was the lord's evacuation plan.
Mulan, who endured her grief and indignation, raised her hand high, signaling the barbarian warriors to escort these bandit leaders who were making trouble.
But just then, a scout with a feathered arrow on his shoulder galloped over on a fast horse.
"Report! The pursuers of the wild boar people are already approaching our army, and the distance is less than three kilometers! ”
Rumble!
The crowd exploded suddenly, and the three imperial barons who were held down immediately held their heads high and shouted again and again, and the rebels suddenly made another noise and commotion, and they demanded that all the baggage carts be overturned immediately, get out of the way, and flee quickly.
Just when the situation was about to deteriorate completely, a burning sword roared down from the hillside.
In the midst of the screams, the Imperial Baron, who was trying his best to incite the rebellion, was nailed to the ground by the sword that rose from the flames, and the boiling flames instantly burned him into a piece of green smoke and coke. (To be continued......)
