Chapter Seventy-Four: Chaotic Battles, Falling River
The war is in full swing and the Truss School has suspended lectures.
After Song Xiyuan was captured, Chu Lin had no intention of accompanying the killer of this pavilion and went to the inn. Zuo Chu knew that his beloved had been arrested, but he didn't see him take any action, and he was safe in the inn.
Fifty miles in front of Bayan City is a desert oasis, a necessary place to break through into the Northland, Mu Shenyu wants to quickly capture this place to ensure that the supply of food and water is worry-free. When this place was attacked, Tu Qin Cheng strictly reorganized his equipment and put on armor to go into battle.
He personally led the troops, and also brought the captive Song Xiyuan.
The two soldiers fought, and the combat commanders were all military wizards, and the tent was full of time and situation, and the fighting outside the tent was shocking, and the battle was particularly fierce. After three consecutive days of head-to-head confrontation, the two sides suffered serious losses in their troops, and they had no choice but to settle down and discuss countermeasures.
That night, Zhou Zhiliang, the general of the National Congress of Muqi Town, sent people to launch a night attack and assassinated Tu Qincheng's powerful subordinates in one fell swoop. Iron hooves splattered blood, and the exhausted soldiers could not resist this army of iron cavalry, fearing that the enemy was approaching the main camp of the curtain all the way. The battle report reached Mu Shenyu's ears, and he ordered the generals to line up and cover the retreat.
And Tu Qincheng, who killed the red-eyed at that time, rose up to catch up, and was bound to take the heads of the soldiers of the enemy battalion.
Mu Shenyu faced Tu Qincheng from a distance, and also saw the woman who was captured by Tu Qincheng. He knew the anger in the heart of the Northland City Lord, and his heart tightened, lest Tu Qincheng would do something to Song Xiyuan. And Tu Qincheng stood in front of the people, facing the wind and asking him to exchange Zhou Zhiliang for Song Xiyuan.
The love of children and daughters does not seem to be worth mentioning in front of national affairs, and before King Yu can speak, the fierce General Zhou has already stepped forward. He heard that King Yu was in love with a woman in the rivers and lakes, but he didn't want to see it in such a scene.
This battle lasted for most of the day, and the curtain broke the army and lost tens of thousands of generals, and because of the unfavorable situation of the battle, he was forced to retreat to the Yuanqi River in the north by the brave cavalry. The Yuanqi River was turbulent, and Tu Qincheng and the army of Muqi looked at each other across the river, each with half of it.
Zhu Yi didn't know why Zuo Qi went to Tu Qincheng in this situation. She took advantage of everyone's inattention to hide in the carriage in advance, and the carriage space was acceptable, and she curled up behind the soft collapse, but it was not abrupt. When Zuo found her, the carriage had already driven out of the city. He was in a hurry, so he had to let her follow.
Song Dongchen and the others were left in the inn, leaving Xu Eucalyptus and the shadow to take care of them.
The two armies were deadlocked on both sides of the river, Tu Qincheng ran out of patience, escorted Song Xiyuan to the river, raised the thorn whip in his hand, and was about to kill her in front of King Yu on the other side. At the same time, Zuo Qi, who came in a hurry, finally appeared in time, and he flew forward to block the fatal whip for Song Xiyuan. Rao was so, and the seriously injured woman was not spared, and the old wound was hit hard by the tail whip, and the severe pain shook her whole body, and she staggered by the river.
Zuo Qi, who was surrounded by the woman, was whipped by the stabbing whip and immediately stained his white clothes with blood, and his lips turned white in pain, and Song Xiyuan took him to stand unsteadily when he staggered. Zhu Yi, who came over, was shocked, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab the two, but he was single, and he fell into the collapsing river with the two of them. The river was turbid and surging, and in just a moment, the three of them had been swept away by the rapid sweep.
Tu Qincheng was a little heavier in self-blame, but he didn't want to run out of a piece of silk after people, and he didn't expect them to fall into the river together......
He hurriedly sent people downstream to look for people, and on the other side, if he hadn't been pulled by General Zhou, Na Mu Shenyu would have jumped into the river to save people.
As soon as the news reached the inn, another group of uninvited guests were welcomed into the city.
At this time, the pavilion master Gui Haimou came hand in hand and came in person to smash Tu Qincheng's mansion. When he broke through the defenses, he found that the building was empty, and Tu Qincheng's wife and concubines were missing. There were so many tribes in the Northland, it was impossible for him to find the city lord's family in a very short time, so he turned around and went to the inn where Zuo Qi was staying.
He intends to solve this problem with his own hands.
Xu Yuying knew that Zuo Chu went out alone, so he left enough people to protect the innocent people in the inn. He summoned the Shadow to meet the enemy. Gui Haimou is the master of this pavilion, of course, his martial arts are at the peak, he personally plays, Rao is a master like Xu Ying, and he can't hurt him in the slightest. Xu Yuying led everyone to deal with him for a long time, and was surprised to find that this person was getting more and more skillful, faster and faster, and he didn't feel tired.
Song Dongchen, who was cowering in the room, nervously pinched the corners of his clothes and stared at the door motionlessly. Outside the door, Xu Huanying was invincible and returned to the sea, and when he heard someone shouting "eldest prince" again, he saw him knocked down on the stairs and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Qiu Shui was also injured, and the shadow stepped forward heavily, desperately protecting a few people. Song Dongchen screamed in fright for fear that the killer would come into the room.
The shadow threw smoke and took advantage of the stinging pain in the opponent's eyes, covering everyone's retreat.
Qiu Shui and Chu Lin were worried about Zhu Yi, and after leaving the inn, they separated from Xu Eucalyptus and others, and drove out of the city to find people.
Relying on the guidance of people all the way, the two did not arrive at the Yuanqi River where the two armies were stationed until the next day. Tu Qincheng, who hadn't slept well all night, saw the two brothers and blamed himself: "I'm sorry, I missed." Qiu Shui was stunned, especially when he was recalling the meaning of the man's words, and listened to him again: "Originally, I agreed with him to pretend to kill Miss Song in public and throw her body into the river, so he took her away. How did I know that I was stronger, and I knocked them down into the river. Under the impact of the turbid river, the three people did not float, and he sent people to search along the river, but found nothing.
"It's still fighting, I can't go to them personally......"
When he heard this, he rushed forward like crazy in an instant, and was immediately restrained. The fate of the two most important people was uncertain at the same time, and he could not compose, and his throat whimpered like a trapped beast. Qiu Shui ran out of the felt tent without saying a word.
At this time, Tu Qincheng didn't have the energy to find someone with Qiu Chu anyway, so he had to send more people to go with them.
Guihaimou, who failed to slaughter Tu's family, appeared in Mu Shenyu's camp, and was angry in his heart. And Mu Shenyu had already made the worst plan in his heart because of the fruitless search for Song Xiyuan, and he hugged his fists towards Guihai, "Please pavilion master, be sure to kill that Tu Qincheng." ”
Guihai knew what he was thinking, so he said: "Whether it is to avenge King Yu's beloved, or to eliminate future troubles for the imperial court, I will definitely do my best." ”
He crossed the river lightly, and the rear curtain will come to challenge again, Tu Qincheng lacks skills and can't slack off at all.
The pavilion master was not easy to deal with, and one person broke through the encirclement and swept down a large crowd. His striking, the dust raised around him spilled with a decisive killing intent. After Tu Qin undertook a few moves, he felt that this person's martial arts internal strength was profound, which could be described as the top of the world.
In the middle of the tent to meet the curtain open, he concentrated on fighting Guihaimou. The two slashed with swords, and the speed of the Northland warriors in close quarters was dizzying. The city lord only defended and did not attack, and had a slight disadvantage, and the pavilion lord shot extremely fiercely, and every move was to attack Tu Qincheng's fatal place.
They were worried about the castle lord, but in the sound of drums, they saw the team that had forcibly crossed the river on the side of Makukai rowing back in embarrassment. Tu Qincheng smiled at the corner of his mouth, turned around and forced Gui Haimou back, jumped a few times, and returned to the camp.
"I have admired the name of this pavilion for a long time, and I have the honor to fight today, so I just need to ask for advice. The master knows that he can't beat the pavilion master, but the pavilion master doesn't think that he can easily take the master's life. He smiled uncontrollably, and was proud that his men had forced the curtain to retreat.
Returning to the sea to see all the reckless men in the north coming up, he retreated to the other side in a timely manner.
The battle was unwinnable, and Mu Shenyu's face was gloomy because of this. He took off his robe and sat in the tent to discuss his next steps with the generals.
