Chapter 114
Because they did not participate in the battle at the beginning, they all maintained sufficient physical strength, and sure enough, in less than two hours of pursuit, they intercepted and surrounded the opponent.
Huang Dao and the others knew that they would die this time, and they were not afraid, so they surrounded Xiaotong in the middle.
At this time, Liu Zhong came over and shouted to Huang Dao and the others: "Hand over the woman, I will let you live!" ”
Huang Dao laughed and said: "My life is my own, if you want to take her, just pass it from me!" As he spoke, he prepared for a final battle with his men.
Liu Zhong said angrily: "Stubborn! "Just about to give the order, kill all the people who stand in the way in front of you.
Suddenly, Xiao Tong, who was surrounded by Huang Dao and others, pretending to be a princess, shouted coquettishly: "Wait! ”
Huang Dao was very surprised and said, "Princess! Thinking that she was going to show her feet at this life-and-death juncture, she couldn't help but be very anxious. If the other party sees a little clue, the general's hard work will be in vain, and so many brothers will die in vain. And the plan of the Chuqi Alliance has also come to naught, and this is tantamount to a slap in the face for the great cause of Chu State's hegemony.
The people in front slowly got out of the way, and Xiao Tong walked to the front accompanied by Huang Dao, and said to Liu Zhong: "This general, presumably your purpose here is to find me!" ”
Liu Zhong saw that she admitted that she was a princess, so he said, "I am just acting under orders!" ”
Xiaotong said categorically: "In this case, if you promise me one thing, I will go with you!" ”
Seeing this, Huang Dao shouted: "No! ”
Liu Zhong said coldly: "This matter is not up to you!" He said to Xiaotong again: "You ...... you"
Xiao Tong looked at the three hundred compatriots around him, and said resolutely: "I want you to promise me to let them go!" ”
Liu Zhong smiled indifferently and said, "I didn't want to kill them in the first place, so you can go with us!" "I agreed to the other party.
Huang Daoben held the heart of death, and when he saw this, he hurriedly said: "This matter must not be done!" ”
But I saw Xiaotong and said: "I hope that you can keep your word!" Suddenly, she took out the dagger that had been hidden in her sleeve and stabbed herself in the chest. When she landed, a beautiful and deadly red flower bloomed from her beige dress. Vision, first look at the direction where the left wing and others escaped, and then look in the direction of Chu State.
Slowly, blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth, his eyes became sloppy, and he died.
Huang Dao and the others really didn't expect that she would sacrifice herself for the sake of herself and others. After a long time, he said to Liu Zhong, who was in a daze, "Can we go now?" ”
Liu Zhong obviously didn't expect that she put forward conditions for herself, and after she agreed, she committed suicide. At this moment, listening to Huang Dao's question, I really don't know what to do. I only feel that her feelings are pitiful, and I also promised her in advance, now that her bones are not cold, I really don't want to break my promise, but the person I want to find is dead, how can I go back and explain to the general. After closing his eyes and pondering for a while, he said, "Let's go, just because I've never seen you before!" I thought: Even if the general wants to deal with him by military law, he has no choice but to accept his fate.
Huang Dao said to the three hundred compatriots: "Since the general is generous, then what are you waiting for, let's go!" ”
The three hundred people originally thought that they would definitely die this time, but at this moment, they actually listened to the other party to let it go, at first, they all hesitated slightly, and after a few bold people left, they gradually walked more and more, and in a blink of an eye, only the dozen or so people closest to the zodiac were left. They were by his side, unwilling to leave.
Huang Dao sighed and said, "You all go back, everyone has wives and children in the family!" ”
One of them couldn't help but say, "What about you, general?" ”
Huang Dao shouted: "Don't say anything, let's go!" ”
At this point, the dozen or so people reluctantly left.
When Liu Zhong saw them leaving, he didn't stop them, just looked at Xiao Tong's corpse.
Huang Dao looked at Xiao Tong, pulled out the long sword on his waist violently, stabbed it into his abdomen, and said sadly: "The last general is incompetent!" The long sword was inserted from the front, piercing his body, and came out through his back, looking at the direction of the Chu people's camp, and then at Xiaotong on the ground, and then he turned his eyes to the direction of Chu State, "Plop!" He fell to the ground on his side, and he was breathless.
Liu Zhong didn't expect that things would be like this, pointing to the corpse of Huang Dao, turning his head to his subordinates on the left and right: "This person is also considered loyal, bury him on the spot!" He added: "Haosheng will collect the woman's body and bring it back to the general!" ”
Soon, someone did the same.
The two dragon pioneers in the clouds stood on the hill, watching the movement of the Xian's camp.
Suddenly, there was a rush of horses' hooves behind him.
I saw that nearly 100 people were riding horses in front of them and were turning over from a small hill in front of them, rushing in their direction.
After a while, a large group of men and horses crossed over from the other side of the hill, following closely each other, and from time to time there were men with excellent horsemanship, firing arrows at the people in front.
Because, at this time, the people chasing behind are condescending, although the two sides have a distance of nearly 100 steps, but the people who are galloping in front and behind, there are still many people, who have been hit by arrows and fallen off their horses.
Seeing that the situation was critical, they immediately divided into three teams to flee for their lives, and they protected the princess dressed as a man, and ran forward desperately.
At this time, Zuo Yi and the others had already rushed to the foot of the hill where the two dragons in the clouds were standing, and when they looked back, they suddenly found that there were less than thirty people following them, and the enemy was pressing forward step by step.
But he also found that in front of him, the jungle was dense and overgrown with weeds, and he was overjoyed, and ordered: "Get off the horse and enter the forest!" "Abandon your horse first and run towards the hill ahead.
It was General Chen Ji, the deputy general of General Wei Feng of the Jin Kingdom, who pursued them, and seeing that there were few people left in front of him, but there was a dense jungle in front of him, he thought: If they are allowed to escape into the forest, it will be much more difficult to hold the other party. Then he ordered: "All dismount and intensify the pursuit!" "The first to dismount and chased after him.
Although the princess is good at riding and archery since she was a child, because of her father, her physique is also very good, but after all, she is just a woman, and after some escape, her physical strength has long been exhausted, and she is supported by a belief at this moment.
The crowd chased and fled for a while, and there were only six or seven people left on the left flank, and the people behind gradually formed an encirclement of them.
After a while, Zuo Yi and the others had reached the peak of the hill, and they were only about thirty steps away from where the two dragons in the clouds were. He was covering the princess to walk up the hill, when suddenly there was a scream behind him, and when he looked back, more than a dozen people on the other side had caught up with them, and a Chu man had no time to dodge, and was stabbed to the ground by the pursuers behind him with a sword.
Busy whispered to the princess: "The princess will go first, I will resist for a while, and don't let them chase after me so quickly!" Without waiting for an answer, he turned around and descended like a tiger, and slew those who had caught up. Several people around him also reflexively turned to each other with him and killed them.
The chasing soldiers in front of them didn't expect the other party, only a few people actually dared to kill themselves desperately, and they were stunned, although they reacted quickly, but, at the moment when they were slightly stunned, Zuo Yi and others had already raised their swords and fell, and more than a dozen people were killed under the sword immediately.
And the opponent's pursuers, at this time, there were more and more of them, catching up, and after a while, several people around the left wing all died under the chaotic sword. Although he was brave, he was outnumbered, killing and wounding several opponents in the blink of an eye, and he was also injured in many places. At this moment, knowing that he was unlucky, he ignored it and shouted, which made everyone change color in the chasers.
Suddenly, an arrow flew out of the pursuers, only to feel that the arrow was like a flash of lightning, fast and unbeatable, the left wing heard the sound of the arrow, wanted to dodge, it was too late, a menacing arrow, from his chest through the armor, looked down at the arrow in the chest, a pair of tiger eyes looked straight ahead, but the body slowly fell.
The one who shot the arrow was the famous archer Chen Ji of the Jin Kingdom, and he was also the leader of this pursuit. At this moment, seeing that all the people who escaped were killed, he suddenly found that a man was climbing upwards nearly a hundred paces ahead, and immediately bent his bow and arrows, and with a stretch of his ape arm, he raised his bow and shot the arrow at the man.
The person in front was the princess who fled for her life with Zuo Yi and others, and she only knew that she couldn't let the other party catch her, and she couldn't care about anything else.
Unexpectedly, after such a long time, the left wing and others did not follow, they were in a hurry, they were not careful, and when they slipped under their feet, they were about to fall, but fortunately, she was quite agile, so she did not fall.
But she didn't know that at this time, Chen Ji took an arrow straight from her body and shot it at her. Just as she fell, the arrow flew through the back of her head, carrying the crown off her head and nailing it directly into the trunk of the tree in front of her.
Her hair was full of green silk, like a waterfall hanging down on her shoulder, and she was so frightened that she didn't have time to look back, and she hurried forward to escape, where did she have time to wrap her hair.
Chen Ji looked at it, although he did not kill or injure the enemy, but he found that the person in front of him was actually a woman, and he was overjoyed, and shouted: "Speed up the pursuit immediately, remember to stay at the ferry!" "With such strict protection, this person is the person he is looking for in this operation.
The princess exerted all her strength to go up the hill.
The two dragons in the cloud were paying attention to the movement here, and suddenly he noticed a woman in front of him, walking towards them with difficulty. Ruyun's long hair covered the woman's face, and she could only be seen that she was well-proportioned and beautiful.
Suddenly, the woman may have blocked her view because of her long hair, and when she shook her head, her long hair like satin was suddenly thrown behind her back.
When the pioneer saw the woman's face, he couldn't help but be stunned. There is such a beautiful woman in this world, her skin is better than snow, her eyes are bright, her eyes are bright, her hibiscus is like a willow like an eyebrow, her goose egg face is extremely delicate, and her autumn water is clear and charming.
Xianzi Qiuyue is already a rare beauty, but compared to her, no matter her temperament or appearance, she can't be compared. It's a glamorous thing, a peerless stunner that brings disaster to the country and the people!
When the dragon in the cloud saw it, he was even more in a trance, isn't this the Yuting who is reluctant to give up and never forget? didn't care about the pioneer who was in a daze, turned over and dismounted, and ran in her direction.
The princess saw that the people behind her were getting closer and closer, but none of the people around her were gone, and suddenly she found someone running towards her quickly, thinking that she was an enemy again, and the last hope in her heart also turned into nothing.
Originally, she was supported by a sense of faith, but at this moment, she suddenly lost all hope, and the spiritual pillar in her heart suddenly collapsed. Man is also weak and crumbling.
Yun Zhonglong saw it clearly, took a few steps and made a step, came to her side and caught her delicate body that was about to faint.
At this time, the pursuers slowly surrounded him, Chen Ji lined up the crowd, stepped forward and said: "I don't care who you are, put down the woman in your hand, I will never embarrass you!" ”
Yun Zhonglong didn't think about it, and shouted: "Don't think about it! ”
Seeing this, Chen Ji ordered: "Up! Dozens of people stepped forward and surrounded the dragon in the clouds in a semicircle.
Yun Zhonglong knew that they would not let go of themselves, so he suddenly pulled out the 'Feiyun Sword' behind his back, and faced the people who surrounded him. At this moment, we can no longer sit still, and we can only strike first.
The besiegers only felt a fierce sword aura, and they were forced over, but they didn't have time to dodge, only heard a few screams, and most of them were killed or injured by the sword, and they were really invincible.
Chen Ji didn't expect this person to be so powerful, and he bent his bow and arrows at the moment, although this person was very brave, but he was now an enemy, even if he had the intention of cherishing his talents, he had to ignore it.
Seeing that there were more and more people on the other side, the dragon in the cloud surrounded the unconscious woman with his left hand and the sword in his right hand, and fought and retreated.
Suddenly, I felt a strong wind coming through the air, and it was Chen Ji who saw that he was resisting the enemy at this time, and he really couldn't avoid it, so he shot the sharp arrow in his hand.
Originally, the distance was less than twenty or thirty steps, and the arrow was extremely fast, such a short distance could just exert the maximum lethality of the arrow. Whether it is the timing, distance, or position chosen, it is impeccable, which shows that its name as a magic archer is not in vain.
Yun Zhonglong was holding the woman at this time, his body was very inconvenient, and if he wanted to dodge, it was absolutely impossible, so he threw his sword to his chest. The arrow was in the middle of the sword body, but it led the two dragons in the cloud to take half a step back. Secret Dao: This person's strong arm strength is indeed the material for being an archer, to achieve this level, it is not only a person's hard work to succeed, but also to have that talent.
At this time, he had already retreated to the position he had just taken, and without hesitation, with a low whistle, he saw the dark clouds running from the forest. He didn't care about the pursuers behind him, so he came to the horse with the woman in his arms and helped her to the horse.
Suddenly, the dark cloud horse took a vertical leap, and the dragon in the cloud found a strong arrow, which passed straight through the horse's belly, and said secretly: This archer is really not simple, he saw that it was difficult to shoot people, so he actually shot the horse directly, fortunately, the dark cloud horse is not an ordinary horse, and he knows that it is indeed a fluke to avoid danger.
Regardless of whether the enemy was dead or wounded, he immediately turned over on the horse's back, lightly clamped the horse's stock, and ran out like a fly.
Suddenly, I heard the gust of wind behind me, and when I looked back, it was the pursuers who saw the enemy on their horses and shot arrows one after another, and they didn't care if the woman would be injured by mistake.
