Chapter 68
The battle did not end until nightfall, with the result that the Shu army retreated first, and the Qin army did not have the capital to pursue the victory. Wang Jian could only order to retreat first to rest.
The heavenly Perxi did not return to the Qin army camp at the first time. Mo Shangxuan tried to let people use a bow and crossbow to deal with the Firmament Beast, but the Firmament Beast itself was a spirit beast, so how could it be easily injured. In addition, for the sake of safety, Perxi drove it to fly higher, which made Mo Shangxuan only see and feel sullen.
Ying Zheng watched as Per Creek circled above him a few times, as if telling him that she would go and come back. After that, he flew away to Shudi.
Ying Zheng knew that she didn't talk to him directly because she was afraid that he wouldn't agree with her to do what she wanted, so she just circled above him to give him a signal to reassure him. In this way, he can only trust her, and believe that she will be safe.
Among the injured people in the Qin army was the leader of the secret guard, who was injured to block an arrow for his subordinates, which would not have been fatal, but the cutting of his head was highly poisonous.
When he was sent back, he was unconscious, and the rest of the Dark Guard were all outside the tent specially built for the leader of the Dark Guard, for fear that their leader would make a mistake.
Xuanyuan Wenmei was treating him at this time, but fortunately, Meng Tian was nearby when he was hit by the arrow, and he swallowed an antidote in time, without letting the poison spread, otherwise such a deep wound would be more serious when he came back.
The arrow stuck in the shoulder of the leader of the Dark Guard was successfully pulled out by an experienced military doctor. Now there is only the problem of residual poison and wounds, and life is worry-free.
Wang Jian saw that there was no problem with the leader of the dark guard, so he breathed a sigh of relief. The leader of the dark guard is not only a talent selected by him, but also a brother in the same sect as him~ Geying, so he is naturally more concerned about his safety than ordinary people.
When Ge Ying didn't join the Dark Guard, he had been learning art from Shangguan Zhenren. Later, Wang Jian asked him to follow Ying Zheng with him, and Shangguan Zhenren also agreed, so Ge Ying followed Wang Jian to become a follower of Ying Zheng without objection.
Two years ago, it was Wang Jian who asked him to come to Shu to find out about the situation of Princess Crane in Shu, that is, at that time, it was he who found out that the fake princess and Poxi were the identities of Liyang Fengnu.
After that mission, Win made an exception and asked Geying to lead the Dark Guard. Geying quickly settled into the role, convincing the Dark Guard to obey his commands, and he cherished his subordinates.
This time, in order to save his subordinates, it was his instinct as a leader to rather get hurt himself.
After Xuanyuan Wenmei helped him deal with his wounds, he got up and said to Wang Qian: "As long as you don't have a fever tonight, you will be awake tomorrow, and then there will be basically no problem." ”
"Hmm." Wang Qian's calm voice was only one word.
Dugu Qing has been helping Xuanyuan Wenmei, and at the beginning, when the leader of the dark guard was sent back, the situation was too urgent, and he couldn't take care of anything else.
Now that the emergency has passed, Dugu Qing came to the lying leader of the dark guard, looked at him carefully, and exclaimed: "Wow, I didn't expect the leader of the dark guard to be so handsome, he wears half a mask every day, and he never took it off even when he was locked up in the dark river, and now that he has no mask, how can he look so handsome." Well, when he woke up, I decided, I was going to make friends with him. The more she spoke, the closer she got to the face of the leader of the Dark Guard, as if she intended to see through the handsome features in front of her.
Wang Jian frowned, walked over in two strides, stretched out his big hand, pulled Dugu Qing away from the sleeping couch of the leader of the secret guard, and said coldly: "You will disturb his rest." ”
"No, I'm not going to argue with him, I'm going to take care of him here tonight." Duguqing thought that he could spend a night in the same room with such a beautiful man, and his heart was about to bloom. This is the second most handsome man she has ever seen in this era, in addition to Win Zheng.
"He has nothing to do with you, he doesn't need you to take care of him." Wang Jian was very repulsed by Duguqing and said that he would stay here all night to take care of people, he was still a man she coveted, and the sour taste rising in his heart made him very irritable.
"Why doesn't it matter, I lived and died with him in the dark river for several days, we have a friendship, and it is only right for me to take care of him."
"General Ben said that he doesn't need you to take care of him." Wang Jian almost lost his patience.
"If you want to take care of it, I'm going to stay."
Wang Jian knew that it was useless to use what he said, so he directly pulled her out of the camp tent, and ordered the secret guards guarding outside: "If you let this woman step in and harass your leader tonight, this general is the only one you ask." ”
After Wang Jian finished speaking, he let go of Duguqing, looked at her angry face, and said coldly: "Don't try to challenge General Ben's orders, otherwise it will not only be you who will be punished, but also them." After Wang Jian pointed to a few secret guards to warn Duguqing, he strode away, leaving Duguqing with a majestic back.
Dugu Qing was so angry that his teeth itched, picked up a stone and threw it at Wang Jian with all his might. Who knew that Wang Jian turned around quickly as if he had eyes on his back and grabbed the stone without panic. Then he glared at her, looked at the stone in his hand with disdain, threw it aside, turned and continued his steps.
"This dead ice cube, why don't you treat me so much, where did I provoke him?" Dugu was so angry that he stomped his feet, ignoring Wang Qian's words and wanted to return to the camp.
"Uh... Miss Dugu, you can't go in. The secret guards stood in a row blocking Duguqing's way.
"He's gone, and he can't see it, why are you so rigid, I'll go in and come out soon." In fact, she just went to get her own things.
"Nope."
"Nope."
"Nope."
“………。”
Duguqing's unanimous refusal startled Duguqing, looking at the extremely firm eyes of the secret guards although they only showed half of their faces, Duguqing knew that she would not have a chance to enter tonight.
Duguqing's eyes rolled for a moment, and then patted her hand that was stained with mud and sand because she was picking up stones, and she said indifferently: "Okay, if you don't go in, you won't go in, can't I go." ”
The dark guards have mixed with Dugu Qing a few times, and even if they don't know Dugu Qing's style very well, they know that she can't give up so easily. The more obedient she was, the more suspicious she became, and she really left humming a song leisurely.
Everyone looked at each other, feeling that no one was going to be unlucky, and that person was likely to be their top leader~ General Wang Qian.
But in fact, they thought too much, Duguqing didn't want to "retaliate" against Wang Jian this time, she really just left. Anyway, it's not that she doesn't have the opportunity to contact Geying again, and it will be a long time before she wants to make a good friend with Geying, who is eye-catching.
In the middle of the night, Per Creek returned. It turned out that she went to Poison Peak to check out the beast park, and there were indeed a lot fewer beasts there. At that time, she suspected that Mo Shangxuan had other ways to control the beast's bestiality.
Everyone got together, and the war that was originally unfavorable to the Qin army made people feel a lot of pressure. After listening to what Perxi said, I felt even more heavy.
"So, are we at a disadvantage again?" Meng Tian had a hunch that the next situation might be difficult.
"This damn bastard, if that's really the case, wouldn't I have been wronged in that poison peak for more than a month in vain?"
Liu Chang was suddenly very angry, he didn't expect that he had been tossing for so long, but as a result, those beasts were still used by Mo Shangxuan.
"You are all in a state of full readiness, if they really send the beast as the vanguard of the attack, our human strength will definitely not be able to resist, before they are dispatched, we must find a way to remove their control of the beast as soon as possible."
Wang Jian calmly explained, he knew very well that it was not easy to fight against the Shu army with considerable strength now. But if it was a manpower against a beast, or a beast that was forced to strengthen its beast nature by drugs, the Qin army would not be able to resist it no matter what.
Ying Zheng didn't say anything, and when he saw that the people below were talking about everything, he opened his mouth to interrupt them: "Liu Chang, you go to Xuanyuan Wenmei." ”
When Liu Chang heard that Ying Zheng was going to find Xuanyuan Wenmei, he guessed that Ying Zheng should want to see if he could also use drugs to counter him.
However, before Liu Chang could go to find Xuanyuan Wenmei, suddenly someone outside loudly reported that the Shu army had dispatched wild beasts to attack the Qin army. The troops at the front were almost unable to resist.
"Damn it!" Wang Jian cursed, picked up the sword and quickly ordered: "Meng Tian, gather the army, I will personally lead the troops." ”
Meng Tian didn't dare to delay, and followed Wang Jian out, and soon, there was a lot of movement outside.
Ying Zheng clenched his fists, he knew that the matter was very serious, and it was likely to increase the casualties of the Qin army. The dead and wounded were the last thing he wanted to see.
Perxi looked at Ying Zheng's cold face, knowing that he was under a lot of pressure, and he didn't know how to help him for a while.
Duguqing and Xuanyuan Wenmei also rushed from the wounded barracks to Yingzheng's camp at this time.
"King, against the beasts controlled by the drug, manpower can't resist it no matter what, but I have prepared some herbs before, which can be taken to the front to burn, maybe I can block it. However, this is only useful for normal beasts, and I'm not sure if Mo Shangxuan's beast herd will be affected. ”
Xuanyuan Wenmei had heard Liu Chang talk about the beast garden earlier, although Liu Chang said that he had lifted the medicinal properties of the beast herd, but she knew Mo Shangxuan, and he would definitely have two hands to prepare. So she kept an extra eye on it, and prepared herbs to drive away the beasts.
Fortunately, Bashu wanted to find herbs, and they were everywhere, so she instructed people to prepare all the herbs she wanted.
"Very good, Liu Chang, you immediately take someone to bring the herbs to the front line, and try not to sacrifice the lives of the soldiers."
Yingzheng sent Liu Chang to deliver herbs, but Liu Chang didn't dare to say much at this time, so he went out to arrange it directly.
Xuanyuan Wenmei followed closely and also went out to count the herbs, and when Liu Chang took the herbs and straddled the horse to leave, he smiled at Xuanyuan Wenmei and said, "Wenmei, wait for me to come back." Then he galloped out of the camp with the team.
Xuanyuan Wenmei clasped her hands tightly, in fact, she was not very confident that those herbs could have an effect, if not, or the effect was not obvious, Qin Jun would still ....... She didn't dare to think about it, her heart was worried about Qin Jun, and she was also worried about Liu Chang.
Dugu Qing had no knowledge of such a fierce war with Shu in the early days of Win Zheng, because there was no such thing recorded in the history books. So she didn't know what the outcome would be this time, and for now, the probability of Qin Jun winning was not very high.
"King, I think you have to retreat with people now, no matter what the final outcome is ahead, your safety must be guaranteed, it is no longer safe for you to stay here."
Duguqing didn't care if Ying Zheng liked to listen to this kind of talk at this time, but her knowledge told her that Ying Zheng was now in the wrong position. As the king of a big country, even if he wants to conquer in person, he should not only have 150,000 soldiers and horses to follow. If it goes well, it's fine, but if it doesn't, like now, you can get hurt at any time.
"No, this king will definitely not leave the soldiers in front of him and go first."
"I don't want you to leave them, I want you to make sure your own safety first, whether we use people to fight the beasts, or the crazy beasts, who can guarantee that we can carry them, if something happens to you, it's all over, and we don't have a herd of beasts to fight them." Dugu Qing had already begun to jump to his feet in a hurry, and the constant sounds of fighting and the crazy roars of wild beasts outside were getting closer and closer to the main camp area.
"Beast, beast, I... We have that too. Poxi got up excitedly and ran out, not giving Ying Zheng and Dugu Qing a chance to chase at all, and stepped on the Sky Beast and rushed to the sky, heading to the primeval forest to the east.
Originally, Ying Zheng and Dugu Qing didn't know what Perxi wanted to do, until she flew back over them again, but she didn't stop, but let the Sky Beast fly lower and lower, but the direction was the front line.
Ying Zheng was so worried that he couldn't stay any longer, and roared angrily: "Come on, the rest of the soldiers and horses will attack the front line with the king." ”
Soon, even Yingzheng rushed to the battlefield, Dugu Qing was so anxious that he panicked, and he didn't know what to do. She went, couldn't help, and stayed frightened.
She walked back and forth, the three tiger cubs surrounded her, and Perxi was not there, she was the second owner of the tiger cubs.
Just when she was in a hurry, the tiger boy roared towards the east, Duguqing looked back, a beast the size of a cow, with blue eyes appearing on the east slope, only to see it raise its head and roar, that super penetrating power, Duguqing could not be more familiar with it, that is the wolf king, the wolf king as big as a cow in the primeval forest. Then, the wolf roars in the sky came one after another. In the darkness, a pair of eyes with white light bodies moved rapidly, as if the heavens and the earth had become a world with only wolves.
Duguqing understood, it turned out that Poxi went to the wolf king for help, and she was so happy that tears flowed out. Seeing the ferocious wolves led by the wolf king rushing to the front battlefield one after another, Duguqing collapsed on the ground and cried, she thought that this time the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops would be wiped out, she thought that Perxi and Yingzheng were in a catastrophe, and thought that Wang Jian was ......
Hey! Wang Qian? Why is there Wang Jian in her worries?
Shaking her head, she refused to think about it anymore, there were more people she was worried about, and Wang Jian was just worried by the way.
Xuanyuan Daokang also rushed back with Dansha day and night, and as soon as he entered the camp, he found that it was very empty, only the guards who were guarding were left, and there was a sound of fighting in front of him, and he guessed that the whole army was dispatched to resist the war.
After the confessor handed over the dansha to Xuanyuan Wenmei, he hurriedly ran to win Zheng's military tent, but only saw Duguqing sitting on the ground crying. Frightened, he thought something was wrong, ran over and held her arm and asked anxiously: "Dugu Niang, what's wrong with you, what happened?" ”
Xuanyuan Daokang looked at Ying Zheng's military tent again, and found that Ying Zheng was not there, he exclaimed: "Could it be that King Qin has also gone to the battlefield?" ”
"Well, they're all gone, you... You also hurry up, more... One more person, more... One more point to win. Duguqing cried so much that he spoke intermittently.
"Then you ......"
"What can I do here, it's okay ahead, I'll be fine, you go quickly..."
Xuanyuan Daokang looked at the three tiger cubs around her, and felt that there shouldn't be too much of a problem, so he also rushed to the battlefield.
At first, the Shu army sent wild beasts to attack, and it can be said that they were simply overwhelming, and the Qin army could barely resist them. What's even more odious is that the Shu army actually added a large number of soldiers and horses, which was beyond Wang Qian's expectations. He thought that the King of Shu would not dare to expose his strength at one time, after all, he not only wanted to win this war, but his ultimate goal was the entire Bashu.
If his strength is used up at one time, the next ruling force will be obviously insufficient, and the follow-up large army of the Qin army is already on the way to Bashu, he knows very well that as long as the Qin reinforcements arrive, he will have no strength, and there will be almost only defeat.
So what stimulated the King of Shu to press all his strength and embark on the dangerous chess of putting death on the line?
Just when Wang Jian led the soldiers to resist with all their might, Liu Chang came with herbs and lit them. The smoke burst out, and the beast really didn't dare to move forward, and even had the intention of retreating.
In this way, Wang Jian was once given time to deal with the manpower troops of the Shu army. But not long after, the brass bells rang one after another. The herd of beasts, which had finally calmed down, surged wildly again, desperately rushing through the pile of smoke and herbs. The beasts, who were already irrational, looked even more terrifying at this time.
No matter how brave the Qin army is, no matter how rich its combat experience is, it is the first time that such an opponent has seen it, and a hundred people together cannot deal with a crazy beast.
Wang Jian used his bow and crossbow to shoot and kill many beasts, but in front of him was not only beasts, but also the Shu army to deal with.
Just when he felt a little overwhelmed, Percy circled over their heads again. She even spotted some ferocious, smaller, jackal-like beasts, and commanded the firmament beasts to pounce on them with quick and precise precision. Then, with its powerful claws, the Sky Beast lifted them one by one and flew back into the air and threw them at the Shu army.
After a few back and forth, the Shu army suddenly concentrated its strength on Poxi to fire bows and arrows, which frightened the Qin army, anyone can have an accident, but the queen can't have an accident.
Wang Jian immediately asked people to shoot arrows to fight back, the sky beast was not stupid, it knew that there was danger, and Poxi had already "communicated" with it, as long as there was danger, escape first, and neither it nor she could be injured. With such an order in front, it naturally quickly avoided the bow and arrow and went straight into the sky, making the Shu army on the ground unattainable.
Then, Ying Zheng also came with the last men and horses, and the sudden appearance of Poxi and Ying Zheng gave all the soldiers a source of strength, especially the king and the queen who joined the battle regardless of their own safety, which made their eyes blaze and gritted their teeth to fight desperately against the Shu army and the beast herd.
Then, to their greater surprise, countless wild wolves appeared behind them, and the leader of them was so great that they had never seen or heard of it, and it seemed that it should be the king of the pack.
At first, everyone thought that the wolves were coming at them, and in that case, they would all die tonight.
However, the miraculous thing is that the Sky Beast brought the queen down in front of the wolf king, and then the queen looked at the leading wolf king and shouted loudly: "Protect the thousands of soldiers of the Qin State for me and destroy the Shu army!! ”
The wolf king roared, the blue light flashing in his eyes was even more imposing, and the wolf king, who was already staying in a high place, took a domineering leap and took the lead in rushing towards the Shu army. The disciples and grandchildren behind it were even more shy, and groups after groups followed it automatically, passing through the Qin army and heading straight to the Shu army.
Before the Qin army could react, the wolves had already helped them rush to the front and bite the Shu army.
Although Wang Jian didn't know what was going on, he at least knew that he should also lead his men and horses to attack the Shu army.
The beasts controlled by Mo Shangxuan didn't know if there was an attack from a wild wolf at this time, or if there was some reason, the "combat effectiveness" slowly became weaker and weaker, and some even fell to the ground by themselves.
Such a situation is simply harmless to the Qin army, and the Shu army was originally outnumbered, but the sudden impact of the wolf king leading the wolf pack, especially the wolf king, no one could be injured at all. Not only does it dodge incoming arrows, but even if an arrow does hit it, it won't hurt at all.
Coupled with the encouragement of the Qin army in winning the government, and the perfect command of Wang Qian, they all became more and more courageous. Beat the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Shu army to almost pieces.
This kind of reversal made the Shu army begin to be timid, and they could only retreat more and more as they fought. The attack power of the wolves is simply extremely vicious to the Shu army, and they can't parry it at all.
In the end, the Shu army had no way to retreat, so it could only beat the drum and order a retreat. This time it was not a simple retreat, but was chased by the wolves and fled, directly exited Phoenix Town, and went out to the west to join the 100,000 Shu army guarded by Feng Jiefu.
This thrilling battle was not over until Poxi recalled the wolf king......
