Chapter 219

Before they run out of arrows, what they can do now is to distance themselves as much as possible. Taking advantage of the chaos, Qing Yi looked at the situation in the rear, the other party's cavalry did not chase after him, and the archers were just shooting arrows in place. They were already a hundred meters away, and the distance made the arrows that were fired at them smaller.

It would have been better if we had been able to pull a little more distance. As the number of arrows shot gradually decreased, Qing Yi picked up a bow and arrow from the ground. With the longbow in hand, Qing Yi seemed to have changed into a different person, dodging the sparse rain of arrows in the sky, while bowing like a full moon, shooting at the enemy's camp again and again.

The arrows are not missing, the bows used by these archers cannot be regarded as good bows, but the quality of the bows used by both sides is about the same, since there are people over there who can shoot a hundred paces away, Qing Yi, who is good at bows and arrows, can naturally shoot so far.

One by one, the arrow feathers were placed on the bow, and Qing Yi's movements were more skilled than those archers. The arrow feathers shot away in the air, and several archers who were crouching together in the snow country fell one by one, and it didn't take long. The dozen or so arrows in the quiver barrel were all shot, and at this time several people had retreated to a hundred and fifty meters away.

The distance is still within Qingyi's range, but the effective distance of the bow itself cannot be reached, and forcibly opening the bow will only break the longbow, unless the way of shooting the arrow is changed to throwing, but that will weaken the power of the arrow. Now that the other party had stopped attacking, Qing Yi didn't want to think about picking up arrows from the ground to shoot back.

It seemed like several epochs, and the three of them finally reached safety. The non-stop running just now was already very tired, and then resisted those arrow feather attacks, many people were physically and mentally exhausted, and Lin Xuanzhong and the others at the back of the queue were finally spared.

What was better than Lin Xuanzhong and them were those who ran in front, and they were not in the shooting range of the archers of the Snow Army from beginning to end. In addition, many wounded soldiers were pushed and fell to the ground by others on the way to escape, and then trampled to death by people running from behind, and their lives were worthless.

The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the clearer the desolate and miserable withdrawal of the army became, and Lin Xuanzhong had to endure a great psychological shock when he stepped over those corpses.

The originally dense evacuation team has now become sparse and sparse, one by one without half of the previous spirit, tonight encountered an ambush, and the losses of the night country border army were too great.

"General Zhao, today Hong will let you live. If you still don't surrender, when our Snow Country army breaks through the city pass, you will be wiped out. "Having just finished a victory, General Hong was full of pride.

Knowing the information about the evacuation of the Night Army was too important to them in advance, and if they didn't know about it all the time, they might really want to let the Night Army's army withdraw smoothly to the city pass, which would be much more difficult to attack the city again.

Winning a battle can boost morale and weaken the strength and morale of the enemy, which is very important for their main attacker. As for why they didn't continue to pursue, General Hong was afraid that they would fight back to the death, and second, there were only about 20 roads away from Chengguan, and once the army guarding the pass came to support, their situation would be dangerous.

In addition, they did not send all the sergeants to ambush the Night Army, as the target would be too large to be detected by the Night Army's spies left around their camp.

"Shameless villain, I don't know how you planted a gap in our army, next time I fight, I will take your dog's life. For Zhao Xu, tonight's defeat is a great shame, not to mention the loss of so many sergeants, until now Zhao Xu doesn't know who the traitor in the army is.

The matter of tonight's evacuation was conveyed shortly before the army was about to leave, and more than an hour was not enough time for the other side to prepare a comprehensive ambush, so someone must have revealed the military plane in advance.

According to Zhao Xu's guess, this person is very likely to be a certain general when he participated in the deliberations, but unfortunately Zhao Xu didn't even have a suspicion.

"It's ridiculous that a general of a defeated army dares to speak wildly," in the face of Zhao Xu's cruel words, General Hong didn't take it to heart, just regarded it as the clamor of a defeated general.

In this way, the deserters of the Night Country finally arrived in a safe area, and the army of the Snow Country did not pursue them again. Not long after the snow army did not chase after them, the defenders of Huangyan Pass finally arrived.

In fact, before the army withdrew, Zhao Xu sent a message to the barracks, asking the defenders to come to help when necessary. When the Snow Army suddenly appeared, Zhao Xu asked people to ask for help. It's just that the battle didn't take long from start to finish, and reinforcements arrived only at this moment.

The general at the head of the reinforcements has a calm temperament, it is Zhao Wu, the general who guards the city, and there are several ordinary generals behind him.

When they saw the border army, the image of the border army would not look like a general in their eyes, and the soldiers would not become soldiers, and all the generals of the reinforcements realized that it was not good.

Not long after, the border army, who was still fleeing, found that reinforcements were coming, gradually calmed down, and slowly stopped.

"Zhao Xu, what's going on?" When they got closer, the embarrassed image of the border army and others became more and more obvious, and the general defending the city asked directly.

"Big brother, there is a gap between the enemy forces in our army, which caused the whole army to be ambushed by the Snow Country cavalry on the way to evacuate, and the soldiers were lost, and it was not easy to get rid of the pursuit of the Snow Army. ”

As soon as he looked at the person, Zhao Xu's inner emotions first calmed down, and then he angrily described the situation and the general defending the city in front of him.

Judging from the title, the two are obviously very close. Looking closely, the appearance of the two is still somewhat similar, but the other party is thinner than Zhao Xu. In fact, the general defending the city is Zhao Xu's brother Zhao Wu, and his status and ability are higher than Zhao Xu.

Seeing Zhao Xu answer like this, Zhao Wu looked at the several generals next to Zhao Xu with a cold face, and then his eyes fell on Zhao Xu again, "Go back and talk about it." ”

With a simple explanation, Zhao Wu took the lead in turning around and leaving. The generals next to him knew the relationship between the two, no matter what mistakes Zhao Xu made this time, they had no right to interfere, and they turned around and left with Zhao Xu one by one.

Zhao Xu didn't know how Zhao Wu would punish himself, and when he thought of the losses of the border army today, Zhao Xu had a feeling that it was difficult to face Zhao Wu. But fortunately, now that the reinforcements have arrived, Zhao Xu is no longer worried about the threat of the Snow Army, and immediately asked the soldiers behind him to evacuate again.

Under Zhao Wu's explanation, the defenders of Chengguan took the initiative to get out of the way of a wide road, allowing the remnants of Zhao Xu to go first.

When Zhao Xu and Zhao Wu were talking, the soldiers who were originally unsure of the identity of the reinforcements finally put their minds at ease one by one. Seeing the neatness of the defenders' formation, they gradually stopped worrying that the snow army would chase after them.

Previously, after the Snow Army stopped pursuing, on the way to speed up their escape, Lin Xuanzhong saw too many miserable scenes, those injured soldiers still had arrows stuck in their bodies, and as a result, they suddenly fell down while running, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

There are also people who tripped and fell to the ground because they were tripped by the fallen person, and the people behind rushed up, even if they were not directly trampled to death, they were seriously injured. Along the way, if it weren't for Zhao Xu not only shouting for all the soldiers to stabilize their positions, I don't know how many people would have died at the feet of their own people.

The defeat of the border army was too embarrassing, even if he was not a member of the border army, Lin Xuanzhong had a feeling of humiliation in his heart. Presumably, the feelings of those generals will be stronger at this moment.

Under the protection of reinforcements, the border army can finally slow down, Lin Xuanzhong no longer has to worry about someone falling for no reason, and those who can hold on to it until now generally don't want to die, so there should be no other problems.

It's a pity that the truth is not what Lin Xuanzhong thought, and it didn't take long for Ming Buregret, who slowed down, to pull out the arrow on his body, and then covered the wound, planning to go to the city to deal with the wound properly.

After he was hit by that arrow by a fifth-order martial cultivator, the wound was not deep at that time, it was just a simple skin injury, and he didn't regret it and didn't feel that there was anything wrong. Now I don't know what happened, not long after I pulled out the arrow, I felt that the wound was obviously in severe pain, and the situation was a little strange.

In the past, even running would not involve the wound, but now when I walk slowly, the wound will be in sharp pain. It stands to reason that the shallow wound would not have such pain, so it didn't take long for Ming Buregret to suddenly realize that there was something wrong with that arrow.

I'm afraid that the arrow is poisonous, and I have been poisoned. So, Ming Buregret was busy running his true qi to check his physical condition. Sure enough, the True Qi at the wound site could not function normally, as if the veins were blocked. "Wow" spat out a mouthful of blood, and Ming's face became a little pale.

"Brother Ming, are you okay?" The sudden scene surprised several people next to him, and several people cast inquiring glances at Ming Buregret.

"I'm fine," he reluctantly shook his head at a few people, and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"Brother Ming, what are you doing?" A quick walk walked next to Ming Buregret, and Lin Xuanzhong hurriedly helped Ming Buregret. At the same time, Qingyi next to him also helped to help Ming without regrets.

"That arrow is poisonous, I'm poisoned," it's already like this, and I can't aim at them anymore without regrets.

"What kind of poison, Brother Ming, can you still hold on?" At the critical moment, Qingyi was relatively calm.

It was already morning, and looking at Ming Buregret's pale face covered with a dark shadow, several people were more and more worried about Ming Buregret's situation. Now that he thinks about it, Lin Xuanzhong understands why those soldiers who were hit by arrows, no matter how serious their injuries were, someone fell at any time along the way, it must be because of the effect of poison.

Those ordinary soldiers were too weak to resist the effects of the poison, and as the poisoning time prolonged, the deeper the poisoning, the worse their physical condition became, and finally they fell. If poison was the cause of death, then Ming Buregret must not be very comfortable at the moment, Lin Xuanzhong could think that if it weren't for Ming Buregret's strength was far stronger than those ordinary soldiers, he might have fallen before.

I didn't expect the army of the Snow Country to be so vicious, and they actually used poisoned arrows, Lin Xuanzhong strongly felt that the methods of those people were too despicable, the ambush of the cavalry had already caused great damage to the night army, and the later archers even used poisoned arrows. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, Lin Xuanzhong had a feeling of hatred in his heart, and he wanted to kill more Snow Country soldiers to avenge Ming Buregret.
