Gun Scroll Chapter 12 (2)

Xiao Qi's left hand tightly grasped the reins of the horse, almost relying on instinct, he waved his gun to block the attacks of several enemies in front of him, and the whole person lay on the horse's back to reduce the area exposed to the enemy, but there were still a few swords falling on him.

A large amount of blood loss made Xiao Qi a little confused for a while, he only felt that he didn't know the destination to run forward, his right hand casually brandished a spear to resist the attack that fell like raindrops, the severe pain in his body made him seem to not feel more and more wounds later, only felt that his physical strength and consciousness were gradually far away from him, and his body gradually became cold.

He didn't know how long he had been walking, but he had already deviated from the previous direction, because he felt that he was getting farther and farther away from Liu Xuyuan and the others, and even farther and farther away from the sound of fighting on the battlefield. The horse under his crotch seemed to have been cut out a few times, but he ran harder, the sound of the horse's hooves was more urgent, and there were people scolding behind him, but Xiao Qi couldn't even look up, because when he opened his eyes, he could only see heavy blood, and his whole face was as if he had been washed with blood.

But he still couldn't stop, and there was still the sound of horses' hooves behind him, like a talisman of death, stepping on Xiao Chu's heart step by step. Xiao Qi now relied entirely on his instinct to survive so that he did not faint, but in fact, the war horse under his crotch at this time was running completely at will. He no longer had the strength to control the reins of the horse, so he could only hold on tightly to the horse's neck so that it would not fall.

After some time, he felt the horse under his crotch suddenly stop, let out a long neigh, and spun in place, and after a few moments he could hear the horse "whirring" and panting. Xiao Qi seemed to wake up from a dream, and tried to open his eyes, in a bright red, he could barely see that there was a cliff in front of him, and he could vaguely hear the echo of the neighing of horses from the depths below, obviously very deep underneath, and he also vaguely heard the sound of rushing water, and he couldn't tell whether it was from the bottom of the cliff or nearby. The remnants of his sanity reminded him that this should be the Zhongnan Canyon in the south of Fenggul Pass.

This is a dead end. Xiao Qi thought to himself.

"I didn't expect you to be able to run. A voice came from behind him, but it sounded like a departure to Xiao Qi's ears. Xiao Qi turned his head with great effort, and saw the white-armored young man from before, and there were two or three cavalrymen who were also wearing blue and white armor behind him. Further down there was darkness, and it was clear that they had moved away from the battlefield they had previously had. Xiao Qi felt a little bitter in his heart, they dared a few people to chase so far, which showed that the battle situation was clear for them.

Xiao Qi smiled suddenly, but his breath was very weak, and it seemed that pulling the corners of his mouth was a very laborious thing.

"You've been fighting with me for so long, and you have some skills. I don't accept nameless ghosts under my gun, report your name!" the other party's tone was proud. Xiao Qi didn't look carefully, but he could imagine the other party's arrogant appearance. This is the purpose of his pursuit for so long, it is really not ordinary arrogance.

Xiao Qi didn't seem to hear, turned over and dismounted, and fell to the ground, but the pain made his face twist, and the two most serious wounds on his abdomen and shoulder made him almost unconscious. He was like a bloody man, and he tried to stand up, but his legs were powerless. Suddenly, he felt a chill from his waist, and he suddenly remembered that it was the dagger that broke the soul. The biting chill made him suddenly sober up, and he squeezed out a trace of strength out of nowhere. With this little strength, he could only sit up reluctantly, and even so, he was still tired and panting.

"Dying on the battlefield and turning into a lonely ghost is also counted. Xiao Qi's voice was very soft, as if he couldn't exert a little strength, and the young man in white armor couldn't help but take a step forward: "What?"

Xiao Qi suddenly threw the spear in his hand forward. Xiao Chu couldn't exert the slightest strength at this time, and before the spear flew in front of the white-armored youth, it fell to the ground weakly. The white-armored young man snorted contemptuously again, he was about to taunt Xiao Qi for not being able to do anything, but found that Xiao Qi leaned back on the thrust of the throwing gun. Behind him was the cliff of the Central South Canyon, but he didn't seem to hesitate to plunge into the pitch-black canyon.

The white-armored young man's face was slightly ugly, and he rode to the edge of the cliff and scolded. Under the cliff, the clouds and mist were shrouded, and the sky was dark, and he expected that the water under the valley must be turbulent, and there were many rocky beaches, and this boy would probably not survive if he jumped down. Thinking about it this way, he was in a slightly better mood. The soldier next to him stepped forward and asked, "Third son, what should we do?"

Wei Zhuoxi's third son, Wei Shuxun, said coldly: "Withdraw." After that, he looked down the cliff for a long time before he rode his horse in the direction he had come, and the others hurriedly followed.

In addition to this episode, Wei Shuxun's mood is quite good. After they found that it was hopeless to storm the wind gully, they immediately remembered that they were biting their own Benhai City behind them. Since it is difficult to move forward, it is necessary to clear the tail behind you first, and it will also save you from being pinched from the front and back. Their movements were fast, and Wei Shuxun believed that the wind gully pass had not even reacted yet.

It's a pity that I didn't see Xiao Mu in the crowd, and I don't know if the old guy escaped in the end, otherwise it would be a great achievement to take down his head. Wei Shuxun thought.

Back in the Yunzhou army, everyone was busy, or tidying up the battlefield, or setting up camp, Wei Shuxun learned a little about the situation from a soldier, and then walked to the camp of the second brother Wei Zhongjue. He has always respected these two brothers the most, and admires his decisive strategy on the battlefield very much, compared to the eldest brother of Wen Crepe and the fourth brother of straw bales. This time, it was Wei Zhongjue who made a quick decision and the whole army turned back, so he won this great victory. The eldest brother Wei Boyu stayed in Yunzhong City, the No. 1 strategist Bai Xi was still far away in the East China Sea, and the whole army, including Lin Li and Zhang Xi, was the only one who looked forward to Wei Zhongjue.

Wei Shuxun walked into the tent, and Wei Zhongjue immediately noticed it and beckoned him to sit down. This military tent was set up temporarily, and it looked a little simple, but the two brothers didn't care, Wei Zhongjue looked at the sand table thoughtfully, and Wei Shuxun found a place to sit down at will. After a moment of silence, Wei Shuxun couldn't help but speak: "Second brother, what should I do next?"

Wei Zhongjue shrugged: "I haven't thought about it yet." Although they failed to completely annihilate the Benhai City army this time, after a preliminary count, only a few thousand of them escaped and went to the Wind Gully Pass. Just let Xiao Mu slip away, but it was a hidden danger. ”

"Since you haven't counted carefully, how can the second brother be sure that Xiao Mu is not in the army?"

Looking at the puzzled look on his younger brother's face, Wei Zhongjue smiled and said, "Whether it is the vanguard of the cavalry or the infantry of the rear of the palace, it is not commanded by Xiao Mu, this is really unreasonable." Besides, if I were Xiao Mu, I wouldn't completely entrust my hope to Ye Hengqiu, the soldiers were fast, and the first to arrive at the Wind Gully Pass was his ultimate goal. Presumably, he used a large army to contain us, and he went to the Wind Gully Pass first. If we hadn't suddenly turned back, we might have run into him again. Wei Zhongjue's eyes flashed.

"Most of Xiao Mu's troops have been annihilated by us, and Ye Hengqiu only has five thousand cavalry on his side, why don't we take advantage of the fact that the main force of Muzhou and the people of Shajiang City have not arrived, and forcibly take the Fenggul Pass?" Wei Shuxun was a little eager to try.

Wei Zhongjue shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm also embarrassed, according to my father's wishes, we'd better keep the situation on the mainland stable, but I didn't expect to be calculated and pushed to such a cusp, but I can't do it without troops." Now and then attack the wind gully, it will make the situation more complicated, and there will be more forces involved, it is not necessarily, if you retreat to Yunzhou, it is a signal of weakness, and it will also cause a lot of trouble. I have to say that this hand is really clever. His face was cold, and his words seemed to mean something.

After a pause, he continued: "The Wind Gully Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not easy to defeat the Wind Gully Pass, the wall of the Wind Gully Pass is narrow, which allows them to have enough local forces to deal with our attack, we can't give full play to the advantage of numbers, and there are powerful burst bows and crossbows on the city wall, which is really easy to defend and difficult to attack." No one in history has been able to storm the Wind Gully. “

"Did you just retreat?" Wei Shuxun was a little unwilling, and vaguely believed that the second brother had other ways.

Wei Zhongjue's eyes showed a thoughtful look: "There is a way." Since the strength is not enough to divide the victory, let's think of a way to attack the city. ”

"Second brother is talking about ......"

Wei Zhongjue smiled and said, "Let's finally see how powerful the 'Cloud Piercing Chariot' designed by my father is!"
