Chapter 20: The Night Raid of the Flag

It is almost dawn of the morning, this is the moment when the door of heaven and earth is wide open, and the yin and yang transformation echoed in the surrounding body, a hazy bright color can be faintly seen in the sky, but it is deliberately covered by the rich night and thick dark clouds that still do not want to leave, and it is impossible to complete its mission of illuminating the world.

And on the still pitch-black earth below, there were 1,300 or so people, like vengeful demons who had come out of the hellish demon sea in myths and legends, their heads were scattered, their faces were charred, and they were invisible, they were all wet, and their eyes could see scarlet bloodshots, all of them held their breath, and they also held a scimitar in their hands that was very different from the traditional weapons of the human race.

But suddenly, there was a disorganized footfoot, obviously out of place, sounding from the side, and then I saw that the curtain of the tent that had been used to keep out the wind and rain had been lifted from the inside by a hand, and a man who was still yawning and sleepy-eyed, wrapped in a thick cotton coat, walked out of it slowly.

As soon as he walked out, he immediately saw a cluster of unsightly black shadows floating in front of his eyes.

"Huh?"

He didn't react at all at first, maybe it was because he had just been woken up by urine, and his brain was still very confused, he subconsciously blinked his eyes slightly, and then rubbed it vigorously with his hand, and then looked at it with wide eyes again.

Right in front of him, less than a step away, showing a mouthful of big white teeth, a hideous face of Sark, was also staring at him with round eyes, after the two looked at each other again, the man suddenly came to his senses, a far colder than the rain hitting his face, from his back, and then instantly jumped up to his brain, and then exploded with a "boom", he opened his mouth, let out the last and most poignant scream in his life.

"Hell, hell, there's a ghost!"

But no, these thousand people, except for Gu Xuan at the front, who barely looked like a person, the others were all as black as charcoal, and their bodies were full of rain, he suddenly thought that it was the Yin soldiers crossing the border, and he was extremely scared, and suddenly screamed involuntarily.

But knowing that this was a night attack, where would he continue to shout, at the moment when the other party shouted, he directly slashed at the latter's neck, this person screamed again, and fell to the ground at once, before he struggled to resist, the people behind immediately followed, more than a dozen knives fell, and he was completely killed in an instant.

Seeing this, Gu Xuan also knew that it was no longer the time to desperately hide his whereabouts, and besides, it was not far from their ultimate goal, so his eyes were fixed at the moment, and he turned his head and yelled at everyone: "Rush!"

With that, he took the sword in his hand and took the lead and ran quickly towards the big tent in the center of the whole camp.

And on this side, the largest, but also the most luxurious, the most conspicuous central tent, Wei Chi Lide, who was still lying on the bed sleeping, has also been awakened by the voice outside, the old man has been on the battlefield for half his life, and the person who has walked on the ghost gate is completely habitual, as long as it is not in an absolutely safe place, the sleep is extremely shallow, and when he woke up, he subconsciously reached out and grabbed the sword that had been placed on the edge of the bed, and then lifted the quilt, turned over and sat up, quickly stepped on his boots, and ran out in a hurry。

As soon as he lifted the curtain, the oncoming cold wind and rain hit him mercilessly in the face, he had already woken up almost instantly, and with the help of some lamplight, he could barely see the scene in front of him, and at that moment, he even thought that he was still in a dream!

Isn't this black oppressive group of people a divine soldier descending from heaven?

Are these the enemies across the river?

How did they get here?

How is this possible?

But the critical situation in front of him has no time to think about these problems anymore, it is already an established fact, so we must first think about the solution, not think about why, or who to blame.

How to divide responsibilities is always something that needs to be done after solving the problem.

The old man stood at the gate of the tent, accepting the baptism of wind and rain outside, but after a little hesitation, he had not yet fully decided whether to run or fight, Gu Xuan, who had been observing the situation here from a distance, had already seen him.

The distance between the two sides in a straight line at the moment is only fifty paces, how long will it take to run over?

Gu Xuan didn't think about it, he held the big knife in his hand, and without saying a word, he directly strode towards the location where Wei Chi Lide was.

But in this team under Wei Chi Lide, there are still a lot of soldiers with real skills and well-trained, these are his own soldiers of Wei Chi's family, and the degree of loyalty naturally goes without saying, seeing that there is actually one person who went directly to the main tent in the rear, murderous and menacing, and their own generals were still in a daze, worried about their safety, they hurriedly flew to stop them.

"General, let's go!"

The three of them thought it through, and shouted angrily in unison, in this noise, it was still so clear and audible, and suddenly woke up Wei Chi Lide, who was still stunned, he looked left and right, and found that in this kind of sky with extremely low visibility, it was impossible to see how many people came from the other party.

The enemy is obviously prepared, but they don't know anything about the other party, they have no intentions, just in case, it's better to leave quickly, go to another camp first, so that in any case, at least he will have more choices next, whether it is to come back to support, or to recruit soldiers and horses back to hold on, or to return directly to the capital, in short, he still has a choice.

Besides, after waiting for dawn, the other party will not be able to come in and attack like now, but if he and the others choose to fight to the death and not retreat, and finally the whole army is annihilated, the news will not be able to spread, and the other two groups of people are completely unclear about the situation here, I am afraid that there will also be danger, and then it will be a real defeat, and there will be no room for maneuver.

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately made what he thought was the most correct decision at the moment, which was to break through quickly.

If you want to say that people in the army, there are indeed few indecisive, once a decision is made, it will definitely be implemented immediately, and it is absolutely impossible to procrastinate and hesitate.

But Gu Xuan, who was already eyeing him, could he just run away so simply, the other party's "General go away" just now made him really determine the goal, seeing that the other three people flew to stop, but he was merciless, the big knife in his hand was horizontal, he shouted angrily, and made a move to sweep away the thousands of troops, and the three of them suddenly flew out upside down.

Just now, all the weapons in the hands of the three people have been cut in two, not only that, but also left a blood mark on their chests, although it is not fatal, but these three people were taken by its momentum, and their hearts were timid, and for a while, they fell to the ground and did not know what to do.

Since the other party no longer dared to get up to stop him, Gu Xuan didn't bother to care about them anymore, even if he killed all three of them at this time, it would not be more useful than catching the other party's master, he held a knife in one hand, and hurriedly rushed in the direction where Yu Chi Lide fled again.

Wei Chi Lide walked in a hurry, still wearing close-fitting pajamas, which were soaked by the rain, and there was no mount to ride at the moment, holding a sword in his hand, and the dark clouds were shrouded in the night, because there was no starlight, he could not find any direction, he could only flee in the opposite direction where the enemy was.

"Old thief, where to go!"

Gu Xuan suddenly shouted angrily, the sound spread to the four fields, chased after him with a knife, and the second ancestors who had just been woken up and then ran out of the tent together saw this situation, not to mention taking the initiative to run up and stop them, in front of everyone's eyes, they actually went back to the tent in unison, and because they were too anxious, they squeezed each other together, and there were people in the middle who fell to the ground, and then crawled into the tent in the mud, if this scene was seen by Wei Chi Lide, I was afraid that he would immediately be so angry that he vomited blood.

What exactly is a rabble without fighting will, in fact, the best answer is right now.

After running for a while, Wei Chi Lide, who had just left the camp, suddenly heard the shouts from behind, and couldn't help but turn his head to look, and saw a strange one-eyed young man, extremely fast, chasing after him with a knife in his head.

Where did he know who the other party was, just when he saw that this person had broken away from the big army, he chased after him alone, and he was still scolding incessantly, Wei Chi Lide was angry in his heart, although he had reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, but as soon as this temper came up, it was a muddy person who dared to slap the table with the emperor Lao'er, at this time, the courage of the teenager to rampage was born again, and he didn't think much about it, and turned around completely instinctively with a sword.

To say that this old boy is not only the ability to lead the troops, but also the strategic vision and tactical thinking have not been able to keep up, otherwise, with Duanmu Shuofeng's desire to use the world's heroes for his own use, he will never mind those boring little things, he can be left in the capital at this time to retire, which itself proves that his ability to be a general is not good.

But people always have strengths, although he is average in other aspects, but the martial arts of this Wei Chi family have not been pulled down, that is more than a step more powerful than Wei Chi Xuan, a reckless man who only relies on brute force to rush into battle, this one is not only the opportunity to grasp is extremely ruthless, but also takes advantage of the fact that the other party has one less eye and a blind spot in his field of vision, at this moment, he directly rubbed Gu Xuan's shoulder and passed, if it weren't for Gu Xuan's timely reaction and slightly sideways, then I am afraid that the neck will be hit by this sword.

A slipped of blood flowers rushed out, and after suffering pain, Gu Xuan also sobered up instantly, and without waiting for the other party to change his moves, he hurriedly flashed to the side and took the initiative to retreat.
