Chapter 404: The Final Battle (4)
That's it.
After withstanding the ferocious attack of the assault team led by Fu Qingshu for quite a long time, the general who commanded the defenders of the camp finally made a decision. He looked at the soldiers beside him and then commanded, "Let the whole army stop attacking." ”
The soldier was visibly stunned for such an order, but did not question it, and immediately raised his horn and blew it when he came to his senses.
"Uh......h Woo...... Woowoo woo ......"
A rhythmic voice like Morse code resounded throughout the army, accurately conveying the general's instructions. As a result, the soldiers on the front line reflexively stopped attacking Fu Qingshu and others, and quickly began to retreat. However, their faces were full of incomprehension and even unwillingness.
Fu Qingshu and his party were also puzzled by the scene that happened in front of them. But since the other party took the initiative to stop the attack and retreated, everyone also stopped acting in confusion, and then almost everyone set their eyes on Fu Qingshu.
"Let's see what tricks they want to play. Fu Qingshu gave the order without giving up, and then looked at Nayin Hinata beside him, and asked the other party's opinion afterwards, "Is this okay?"
"Hmm!" Hinata nodded quickly, even if it was temporary, she wanted not to fight again.
In this way, the two sides temporarily stopped and watched each other, and soon there was a commotion in the Imperial Army.
"Whoa, whoa!"
The soldiers slowly moved to the grinding sound of their armor, and separated their way to the left and right. And the one who finally came to the front of the people through this road was the general who commanded the defenders.
He walked out of the dividing line of the camp and stood alone in a prominent position, and then shouted to Fu Qingshu and the others: "If your target is Your Excellency Marshal, then I'm sorry, Your Excellency has left safely." Even so, if we continue to attack, then we are not prepared to resist anything. Please let us surrender!"
"Hmph!" Fu Qingshu couldn't help but sneer a few times, and at the same time, he could be regarded as announcing his identity as the leader to the other party, and then officially responded, "Do you think our men have the ability to deal with so many of your captives?"
"What do you mean, Your Excellency!" the general narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to grasp the saber at his waist. Behind him, the soldiers didn't need clear instructions at all, and after hearing Fu Qingshu's speech, they went on guard.
On the other hand, among Fu Qingshu and others, Hinata Nain also felt worried and nervous about the meaning of Fu Qingshu's words, and she couldn't help blurting out: "Hey!"
In response, Fu Qingshu immediately raised a gesture to stop Hinata from continuing, and then continued to shout to the enemy: "Don't get me wrong! I'm not a murderer. You're right, the purpose of our trip is for you Marshal Miriderian. And since he's gone, I think we'd better go back to our respective homes to wash and sleep. ”
"What?"
"I mean, we're going to retreat! you idiot!" Fu Qingshu turned around without hesitation and took steps in the direction she came. Seeing this, the people around him naturally followed and slowly moved while guarding against the enemy army.
Such an outcome was undoubtedly unexpected for the Imperial Army. The general froze in place, but soon came back to his senses and shouted with some unconcealed excitement: "Let them go!"
As a result, the soldiers and horses surrounding Fu Qingshu and others gave way one after another. Although the soldiers of the Imperial Army were reluctant to do this, they still did not act rashly. On the one hand, it was because of the general's orders, and on the other hand, it was pure fear.
In this way, after making a big fuss at the Imperial Army station, Fu Qingshu and his party left unharmed. It was the Imperial Army that felt relieved.
"Whew!" the general who commanded the camp defenders couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after watching Fu Qingshu and their figures disappear into the darkness of the night.
They're finally gone, and they're going so simply, it's a bit too much, right?
After calming down a little, the general wondered what had just happened.
What he said earlier was certainly not a lie: Marshal Miridrian had indeed left with his personal guards. However, this is a fact that only he knows, if from the other party's point of view, shouldn't what he said be a one-sided statement that is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood?
Comparing his heart to his heart, the general felt that if he did not achieve his goal and was told by the enemy that the target was no longer here, he would not believe it.
But Fu Qingshu and others accepted his statement without question. Looking at such a thing now, it has to be said that it is a little suspicious.
Why is that? Could it be that the surrender rhetoric worked?
The general was the first to come to a more optimistic conclusion, but after careful consideration, he shook his head in denial.
With Fu Qingshu's manpower, they simply couldn't handle so many Imperial prisoners, which was expected by both sides. Therefore, the surrender rhetoric had some intention of creating trouble for Fu Qingshu and others and forcing them to abandon the attack, and frankly speaking, it was a bit of a "scoundrel." Therefore, it is not sincere at all, and the evidence as a corroboration of the preface is a little weak.
From this point of view, the first conclusion drawn by the general is naturally not very convincing.
So, what could the truth be?
The attacking enemy will retreat decisively, and common sense can only be due to two situations. First, they failed in their offensive and had already come to the conclusion that they could not achieve their goals at all and had to retreat. The second is that the goal has been achieved......
Could it be...... Not good!
As soon as he thought of this, the general was immediately shocked, and then subconsciously cast a horrified gaze in a certain direction.
"Dada-da-da! da-da-da!"
On the back of the bumpy horse, Dilan's eyes were always fixed on the figure in front of him, Marshal Miridrian, and his eyes were still full of admiration.
Even though they were now in a situation of escape, Marshal Miridrian's image in Dilan's mind still did not collapse.
In Dilan's opinion, there are admirable things about the marshal's every move, and even if he escapes, he runs away impressively. In that case, it seems inappropriate to describe their current actions as simply fleeing. Their current actions should be called retreat, which is not the same as the escape, it is planned.
Under normal circumstances, if a person is attacked by an enemy army, he will take refuge in a safe place in the rear and join up with a large army. But Marshal Miridrian did the opposite, deliberately defecting to the army at the forefront. However, at the moment, it is the safest place to turn the most dangerous place into the safest place.
Who would have thought of such a bold act as just leaving one dangerous situation and throwing themselves into the next?
Who would have thought?
"Boom!"
Suddenly, with the neighing of his horses, Marshal Miridrian pulled the reins and stopped the galloping mount. As a result, the knights who followed him all stopped suddenly.
What happened!
Stunned, Dylan quickly shifted his gaze from Marshal Miriderian's back to his face, and saw a look of horror.
How could the marshal be so out of shape! What is the reason for this?
Dylan suddenly became nervous. He immediately followed Marshal Miridrian's gaze straight ahead, and saw what he saw.
In front of the forest that was about to enter stood a figure, a young man in a crimson coat, it was none other than Li Mengxi.
It's seen through, isn't it?
Miridrian, who had already stabilized his mind, couldn't help but think so, and couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly on his face.
Talking about "the most dangerous place is the safest", he was smart this time but was mistaken by cleverness!
After thinking about it in his heart for a while, Miridrian opened his mouth and cried out loudly: "Your Excellency is my opponent tonight!"
"Li Mengxi! Let's just forget it, the staff officer of the Kingdom Army!"
"Staff officer of the Kingdom Army? Could it be that the strategy of the Kingdom Army so far has been planned by Your Excellency!"
"Those plans are everyone's wisdom. But......" Li Mengxi couldn't help but smile proudly, "If you want to find a real object of resentment, it's me! After all, almost all of the original proposals were put forward by me." ”
"Resentment! Your Excellency's wisdom has fascinated me for a long time. I don't know if you can give some return gifts for this respect in my heart?"
"Return gift?" Li Mengxi rolled his eyes while chattering, and then asked back, "What kind of return gift!"
"Your Excellency's goal is only me!"
Hearing Miridrian say this, Li Mengxi understood the other party's thoughts. So, he smiled admiringly and nodded in response, "I see! Your subordinates can go anywhere!"
"Thank you so much!" said Miridrian, bowing as he shook his horse.
But there is one person who disagrees with the matter that the two have discussed, and that is Dilan.
Just when the knights around him were shocked by the scene and did not dare to act rashly, he broke the invisible confinement and let out an anxious roar: "No! We are the guards of His Excellency the Marshal! We should desperately protect His Excellency the Marshal! Even if we can't do it, we should fight with you at the last moment! I can't do such a thing as abandoning you and running away alone!"
After hearing Dilan's words, Miridrian looked at him in silence for a while, then smiled reassuringly and said, "You're right. Before I do that, though, I have a few words to tell you. ”
As he said this, Miridrian raised his hand and beckoned to Dilan.
It seems that the marshal has some secret things to tell him.
Realizing this, Dylan immediately moved the horse under his crotch, and then poked his head out after quickly approaching Miridrian, but what happened next was something he did not expect.
Who would have thought that Miridrian would wave his right arm with lightning speed at the moment when Dylan stretched his head towards him. His fist, wrapped in red brilliance, slammed into the back of Dylan's head with a thud.
As a guard knight, Dilan has also been trained, but if he eats skills that are bound to stun him when he is defenseless, his kung fu is still useless.
Immediately after the blow, Dylan fell unconscious, leaning into Miridrian's arms. Miridrian, who had safely caught Dilan, immediately turned his head to look at the other knight nearby, and then ordered, "Take him away!"
"Yes!" the knight immediately slapped his horse and took Dylan from Marshal Miridrian and placed him on his horse.
Immediately, Miridrian took out two more letters and handed them to the knight.
"Here are two letters, one for this kid and the other for my final arrangement. Alright, let's go!"
Although it is not as good as Dilan's heart, the other knights also have loyalty and love for Miridrian in their hearts. When he realized that the matter was coming, the knight who accepted Miridrian's request inevitably wanted to speak out on behalf of the people.
"Your Excellency......"
"It's an order!" Miridrian, who knew exactly what they were trying to convey to himself, shouted, "Go ahead according to the original plan!"
"Boom!"
The knights didn't say much and drove their mounts separately, and in this way, after bypassing Li Mengxi, who was blocking the road in front of him, he took a circle in the other direction and ran into the forest one after another.
From beginning to end, Miridrian was watching, and then he put his eyes back on Li Mengxi's body.
Immediately after that, he turned over and dismounted, and then took a step forward until he was at a distance of making sure that it would not affect the two horses behind him, before he stopped and said, "I've kept you waiting!"
As he spoke, Miridrian drew his sword from his waist with a "sonorous sound" and clenched it in front of him with both hands.
"It doesn't matter. I can afford to wait. ”
Li Mengxi responded to the other party's words in his mouth, and at the same time, he also responded to the other party's fighting intent with his actions. One by one, he drew the two crimson swords from his waist and butted them in front of him.
In an instant, with the sound of "Qiang", the artifact-level weapon "Haotian" regained its original appearance as a double-headed spear. Immediately followed by the sound of "Xiu Xiu" breaking through the sky, Li Mengxi picked up the spear and pressed it again, and made a stabbing posture towards Miridrian in front of him.
It turned out to be with a gun!
After thinking about it like this, Miridrian immediately rehearsed in his mind how to deal with the gunnery. And when he felt that he was ready, he took a decisive step.
"Drink!"
With a roar of momentum, Miridrian's body galloped with the wind, a skill called "Charge".
At the same time, Li Mengxi also launched a charge skill, but he didn't shout like the other party, but the action itself had already brought a coercion.
It was also a "charge", but Li Mengxi's speed was obviously more than twice as fast as Miridrian. However, this was expected by Miridrian, who immediately judged the encounter point between himself and Li Mengxi, and then took the first step to stop his pace and put on the best posture.
However, at this time, something unexpected happened to him suddenly.
Weapon duel has always been "one inch long and one inch strong, one inch short and one inch dangerous", and the spear against the sword is undoubtedly an advantage, so Miridrian did not expect that Li Mengxi would take the initiative to give up this advantage at the moment of engagement with each other and suddenly split a spear back into a double sword.
In this way, the move that Miridrian had rehearsed in his mind that could have been called a beautiful starting move was completely reduced to a vain due to the chaos of the square inch, which exposed a great flaw.
Li Mengxi did not let go of Miridrian's weakness exposed at this moment, and immediately turned into a crimson storm and swept towards him.
"Sting!"
After the sound of something being neatly cut off, the figures of the two also staggered. Li Mengxi resumed his normal standing posture and returned the two swords to the left and right scabbards with one pull.
On the other hand, Miridrian's waist was pierced by a sword that fell to the ground, splitting it into two parts, from left to right, and emitting wisps of light.
If he was simply crushed by the difference in strength or agility from the front, then Miridrian would definitely not be reconciled, but the moment of confrontation just now was not the case.
Miriderian's first defeat was not a lack of attributes, but a lack of thinking, eyesight and judgment, that is, a defeat in moves. There is nothing to say about unwillingness, the other party's martial arts are far above him, so he can only bow down.
"Hehehe!" Miridrian exclaimed with an admiring smile, "yes, my opponent." ”
As soon as the words were closed, the light on his waist turned into a whole piece of light, spreading in both directions at the same time, quickly engulfing his entire body, and then shattering into a large canopy of light chips with him. It rose like flying sand, and disappeared into the darkness of the night like fireworks.
"When the ......"
Including the sword, many pieces of equipment that had lost their owners were scattered on the ground, making a series of crisp sounds.
