Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Approaching Pursuit

The rout looked far away, but it was actually very close, and while Lu Jingzhi's men were still adjusting the accuracy of their weapons, the first wave of rout had already reached the first line of defense that had just been fought between Busen and the Principality's vanguard cavalry. Dozens of human riders came first, and the ones who stepped down were also real undead warhorses. The pale face looked like a ghost, but he could see that he was panting violently, and he was still dressed as a human being.

Lu Jingzhi watched these knights gallop approaching blankly, and felt something in his heart, but he forgot to give the order, but fortunately, Bastony, one of the four rangers who was accompanying him, stopped him and asked, "Which army are you from?"

The other party replied in a language that Bastoni did not understand, and his tone was extremely shocking, and Bastoni was about to order these humans to be arrested, when suddenly Lu Jingzhi shouted from behind: "Let them dismount and come over." It turned out that these people spoke Mandarin Chinese, which is the most widely spoken in the human world.

Those humans saw Bastoni's command gesture, but they also understood, hurriedly rolled the saddle and fell off the horse, consciously gathered together, and walked towards Lu Jingzhi. Seeing him riding on the neck of a giant, with a fair and handsome face, he thought he was an undead nobleman, and hurriedly bowed down, and said in a hurry: "Your Excellency, save me." ”

Lu Jingzhi frowned, and also asked in modern Chinese: "You are human?!What are you doing!"

These people couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and the leader reacted one step faster than the others, walked a few steps forward, and said to Lu Jingzhi with a happy face: "Your Excellency, you can also speak the language of human beings? Our master is a guest of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but we lost before the battle, we grabbed a few fast horses and ran over, I didn't want to meet the Venerable, and I hope to save us." ”

Lu Jingzhi was accustomed to listening to dumb and mocking nonsense, and when he heard Mandarin at first glance, he felt very cordial in his heart, and he had the intention of saving him, and said, "You get up first and tell me slowly." The leader stood up and approached him, ready to reply, but the others remained on their knees, not daring to move.

"Where did you come from?" Lu Jingzhi asked, leaning on his stupid neck.

"Your Majesty, we are the crown prince......"

"I mean, where did you come from in this realm of the dead? Lu Jingzhi interrupted impatiently, "If you say more repetitive nonsense, I'll kill you and let someone else talk about it." ”

The leader of the man fought and said, "Your ...... Your Excellency, I ...... We came from CD Giethoorn the year before. Because the entrance of the previous trade road was blocked in Shangjingkou Village, I had to turn to Sheephorn Mountain, and this time the foot was far away, so I had to sell some light and worthless things. As he spoke, he peeked at the statue sitting on the big neck.

The two of them have been in this ghost world since they were born, and they don't know anything about the people and things on it, and they don't see anything after hearing it. But these words were like a thunderbolt in Lu Jingzhi's ears.

"Slow!" Lu Jingzhi endured a burst of dizziness and asked sharply, "You just said what happened to Shangjingkou Village?!"

The leader was startled, and hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, the Yin and Yang Road in Shangjingkou Village was blocked, it seems that it was a good thing done by the strips, and they probably arrested a few of our brothers and asked about the Tao here, but they didn't dare to come down to find out, so they blocked the business road." It made it impossible for us to enter and exit, so we had to go around Sheephorn Mountain. "Sijiu is stupid and doesn't know what a strip is, but Lu Jingzhi knows that he is talking about the police.

"So, you are from the Corpse Refining Sect?" Lu Jingzhi still remembered the tall and thin man, who claimed to be a person from the Corpse Refining Sect and knew the lord. But for several years in a row, I didn't see anyone from the corpse refining door reappearing, and I thought that the thin and tall man was talking nonsense, but it turned out to be ......

It turns out that Yin Yang Mountain can't go back, and the tunnels in Shangjingkou Village are also open, no wonder the fat man and the fat man and his brother can't save themselves, no wonder they can let go of Li Boyang and his sister. Thinking of sugar candy, Lu Jingzhi's heart was even more bitter. I mixed up with a big undead in this dark place, and that's it, but what about the little girl of Tangtang? Do you want her to live here for the rest of her life? Thinking of Tangtang's appearance and moonlight, but she can only be accompanied by zombies with broken skin and rotten flesh for the rest of her life, Lu Jingzhi was nauseous for a while, and his stomach was cold.

"This young master?" Sijiu saw that Lu Jingzhi's face was not right, and hurriedly came over, "What's wrong with you? ”

"No, I don't. Lu Jingzhi was slightly stunned, and said a little weakly: "Go get some ice fruit wine, I want to be good." ”

When Sijiu heard this, he hurriedly ran to the young master's tent and took out a small leather bag frozen from the marching backpack, which contained ice fruit wine. There is a thick layer of ice on the outside of this wine, and there is a sound of running water inside, which shows the high quality of the ice fruit wine. Sijiu didn't dare to stay longer, so he found a piece of clothing, wrapped it in three or five layers, and hurriedly ran back again.

Lu Jingzhi didn't dare to drink more when he opened the lid, he took a small sip, and a cold breath went down his stomach, and he was really much more energetic. The first disciple of the Corpse Refining Sect originally thought that Lu Jingzhi was also a human being, but when he saw that he drank the ice fruit wine, not only was it not a big problem, but he was in good spirits, so he calmed down that suspicion.

"Your Excellency, we are from the Corpse Refining Gate. I am the eldest apprentice under the white-clothed Dharma Protector, called Shiyao, and another junior sister, named Caiwei. These dozen or so people are all disciples and grandchildren of my master. Seeing Lu Jingzhi looking at him, the leader hurriedly answered the previous question.

Lu Jingzhi snorted, and asked without moving: "I heard that your corpse refining gate is quite amazing, and you also arrested an old man and a girl from a thousand doors two years ago? ”

The medicine picker from the corpse refining door didn't know whether this was good or bad, and peeked at this great undead boy who was called the honorable by himself, but he couldn't see the joy and anger, and he was trembling in his heart for a while, and he didn't know how to answer, so he had to answer truthfully along with the words: "It was caught by the Shunyi Branch, we only heard that a woman was caught, and the old one didn't seem to be caught, and then I don't know what happened, and even the woman ran away together." It's not glorious to say this, it's just that first, our corpse refining door has no reputation in the rivers and lakes, and secondly, there seems to be some secret on the girl's body, even if she offends her fellow people in the rivers and lakes, it is a last resort. ”

Lu Jingzhi couldn't help but believe that he scored seven or eight points when he heard his answer, and he knew that Dai Yuru of Qianmen and his own group of children had rescued his granddaughter Dai Tingxuan. The reason why he asked him so much was to try to trap him, and to know if he and Tangtang had fallen into the hands of the corpse refining sect again after he and Tangtang were taken away by the undead clan. According to what the medicine said, it seems that there is none.

As he was talking, the rout of the rear brigade arrived, and more than 10,000 light armored cavalry galloped first, and the earth shook for a while, and tens of thousands of horses' hooves smashed on the ground, and any bushes and weeds were all trampled flat. The heavy armored cavalry behind also rushed over, and it was even more devastating, even if there were not too big trees on the road, they were cut off with an axe, and then the horses were flattened. The efficiency of opening the road in this mountain is much higher than that of Lu Jingzhi's engineering team.

Lu Jingzhi and the disciples of the Dry Corpse Gate hurriedly avoided the side, and the dust raised at the march of the army obscured the vision, only the sound of rumbling horses' hooves and the joint collision of choking armor. It wasn't until a long time had passed that the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and behind the smoke, more than a thousand high-ranking knights had formed a formation under the command of the crown prince, heading in the direction of the mountain pass. There was a large group of infantry coming in there. There were more cavalry in a semi-circular formation behind them, and they were unhurriedly pursuing the infantry in front, and from the armor of these pursuing cavalry, they looked the same as the vanguard of the Duchy Army that had just been defeated by Busen.

I saw that the fleeing infantry was getting closer and closer, and the pursuing cavalry was getting closer and closer, and the semicircular line gradually converged into a thick phalanx, blocking the mountain pass. The crown prince ordered the high-ranking cavalry to line up in four formations, give way to the middle road, and let the infantry pass first. But the pursuing enemy cavalry did not give the infantry a chance to escape at all, and kept catching up from behind, slashing for a while, and then retreating. From a distance, it looked like a sharp fruit knife was peeling fruit layer by layer, and soon, the small half of the fruit was cut off, but fortunately, the front half of the infantry had passed the defense line formed by the high-ranking knights, and the back half was also within range of the defense line. When those cavalry came over to harvest the stragglers, more than two hundred sword qi flew straight towards the cavalry who rushed at high speed. Those principality cavalry were speeding up, and they didn't even have room to dodge, and they were directly cut into pieces by the sword qi, and after more than a hundred principality cavalry were shattered, the rest of the cavalry was able to slow down and turn away from the range of the high-ranking knights of the empire.

After launching the sword qi, the high-level knighthood withered a lot, and under the command of the crown prince, it also passed through the defense line set up by Lu Jingzhi and retreated to the rear, and the second row of high-ranking knights stepped forward and drew their swords and prepared to attack. The Duchy paused for a moment, and then sent another group of cavalry to test it. They obviously also know that although the high-level knights' tricks are powerful, they can't be continuously fired, as long as they consume these high-level knights' tricks, and then send their own high-level knights, they have an absolute chance of winning.

After killing three waves of enemy cavalry in succession, the crown prince's infantry also withdrew one after another, and the last wave of high-ranking knights who did not release their sword qi chose to retain their strength and retreated with the last infantry team. The crown prince walked at the back, and when he saw Lu Jing, a complicated mood emerged. If Lu Jingzhi was allowed to resist the pursuers, he would almost certainly die, and if he was not allowed to resist, it would be difficult for him to rush to his own fortress group with the soldiers. After hesitating, he still decided to take Lu Jingzhi with him, but Lu Jingzhi's subordinates, as well as the miscellaneous army of those little lords, should be placed here as a sacrifice to the god of war.

"Your Excellency, let your soldiers be sent to your palace, and you will retreat with us to the fortress. The crown prince's tone was completely commanding, not giving Lu Jing the slightest room for rebuttal. In his opinion, this is the only way for Lu Jingzhi to survive, and in order for him to survive, he has to risk at least being swallowed up another 1/4 of the infantry.

Lu Jingzhi replied without appreciation: "Your Highness, take care of your own soldiers, I want to stay here with my troops." ”

The crown prince nodded and said, "I will remember your heartfelt advice, and I will also give you a heartfelt message - keep your mouth shut, if you still have the life to continue to speak in front of me in the future." So saying, he led the team to beat the horses and left.

Is Lu Jingzhi in danger? Can he stop the tide of principality troops? How did the crown prince lose?

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
