Chapter Forty-Three: On the Mountain of the Leaning King I

When the more than 100,000 horses of the Shangdang Legion were killed by the Ice God Baishi in a second, they all turned into broken ice and dissolved in the passage of Caoyi Valley, only on the cliffs on both sides, there were still more than 10,000 soldiers of the Shangdang Legion, each of them maintained a posture of fighting before death, and looked strangely at the open space not far away.

Baishi naturally did not have the leisure to admire these ice sculptures with different postures, but hurriedly led the 40,000 horses of his direct guard out of Caoyi Valley and went straight to the military fortress of Xiewang Mountain.

Although the Chengtian Empire still has an absolute advantage in the forces west of Caoyi Valley, even if it can send enough cavalry troops to follow the 40,000 horses chasing Baishi at this time, it will definitely be able to trap Baishi and turn the tide of the battle in one fell swoop. It's just that the various maps of the Shangdang Legion have already been frightened by Baishi's killing, and even their marshal Cha and Buhua are not known for their life or death, and Subutai can only escort Muwang Zhu Chi to escape into Huacheng, and send a large number of cavalry to reconnoiter in the direction of Caoyi Valley.

Fortunately, the reconnaissance troops on the front line came with a message, that is, Bai Shi with his tens of thousands of horses did not march north to the six cities of Huacheng, but turned to the southwest, and the target seemed to be the military fortress of Xiewang Mountain, which had been surrounded by them before. After hearing this, Subutai finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the plague god fortunately did not continue to pursue him. If you think about it, Shiraishi's actions are more in line with human nature. After all, Sun Yaoguang's Seventh Army was still besieged in the military fortress of Xiewang Mountain, and the importance of the Thunder Light to the Menglan Legion was undoubted.

It's just that even if Su Butai is resourceful, he would never dare to provoke Baishi by borrowing him a hundred leopard galls at this time. And just after Subutai stabilized his army in Huacheng, the deputy commander of the Shangdang Legion immediately sent a Black Eagle squad to the battlefield of Beihai County to inform King Hailing of the current grim situation in Menglan County and ask for immediate reinforcements.

The military fortress of Xiewang Mountain is about two hundred miles away from Caoyi Valley, and the guards directly under Baishi's legion are all cavalry. Therefore, six hours after Karisha slipped away, Shiraishi's 40,000 guards arrived at the foot of Xiewang Mountain.

The reason why the cavalry speed is so slow is also because from the beginning of Menglan City, the guards directly under the legion of Baishi have been marching all night, not to mention, the horses are exhausted. And Bai Shi's strength had been lost by most of his strength at this time, and activating the forbidden technique in the Ice Divine Cloak had even damaged his Yang Shou. Strictly speaking, if Baishi uses the Linglong Ice Heart Sword again, it will lose its lifespan once if it is used once, unless the Linglong Ice Heart Sword regains the color of white jade. Otherwise, with Baishi's temperament, he should have thrown off the large army a long time ago and rushed to the foot of Xiewang Mountain alone, and no one knew that the Ice God had been seriously injured at this time.

On a meadow at the entrance of Xiewang Mountain, Tong Dali was patrolling with hundreds of soldiers. Yesterday, the Chengtian troops surrounding Xiewang Mountain suddenly fled to the west, making the Beihai army remaining on Xiewang Mountain is the second monk at a loss.

Tong Dali, Xia Yan and Shi Chong, the head of the first regiment of Xiewang Mountain, watched the movement of the enemy army under the mountain, and they didn't know what was going on for a while. After a heated discussion, in view of Sun Yaoguang's continued coma, it was finally decided that Tong Dali would take 500 elites to strictly guard the entrance under the mountain and inspect the surroundings, while Xia Yan took a thousand dead soldiers to the Miangu Valley ten miles north of Xiewang Mountain to pick the Thousand Spirit Grass, which was extremely versatile for treating injuries, hoping to use the powerful medicinal effect of the Thousand Spirit Grass to wake up Sun Yaoguang, who had been sleeping for many days and his complexion was beginning to decay, while Shi Chong led the rest of the people to continue to guard.

After noon, a large number of horses' hooves sounded inexplicably on the north side of Xiewang Mountain. Tong Dali, who was leaning against a small tree at the foot of the mountain, suddenly jumped up in fright.

"Damn, there are at least tens of thousands of people to listen to this movement, and they are all cavalry. Could it be that the cavalry unit of the Shangdang Legion is here? But didn't these fucking wolf cubs flee without a trace yesterday? Who, Luo Shimin! Hurry up and inform Commander Shi that the Chengtian cavalry is here, ready to fight! Wait!" Tong Dali, who was about to give the order to prepare for battle, suddenly stopped Luo Shimin, the commander of the guard battalion, and looked at the dust flying in the distance with a half-believing look.

Gradually, the dust got closer and closer, and a familiar ice god robe came into Tong Dali's eyes, and the eyes of the deputy commander of the Seventh Army suddenly shed tears of excitement.

"Phew..."Bai Shi stopped his white war horse, turned over and dismounted, and immediately ran towards Tong Dali.

The distance of dozens of steps was fleeting, Bai Shi grabbed Tong Dali's shoulders, and said impatiently: "Dali, where is Yaoguang? How is Yaoguang now?" As soon as he came up, Bai Shi anxiously asked about Sun Yaoguang's situation.

However, all that awaited Shiraishi was Tong Dali's silence. Facing the anxious gaze of the Ice God Baishi, Tong Dali just lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly.

Bai Shi instantly understood, slapped Tong Dali's face, and then kicked Tong Dali out with his right foot.

"You bastard, trash! You're the deputy commander, even if you die, you have to go first. As a subordinate, what's the use of living if you don't protect your own commander? Besides, aren't you his brother in life and death!" Obviously, Shiraishi was so angry at the moment that he had lost his mind.

Two teeth fell to the ground, Tong Dali's mouth was full of blood, but he did not complain at all, but looked sad, and soon began to slap himself.

Bai Shi watched all this silently, and after a while, when Tong Dali beat himself like a pig's head, the old man with swollen faces on both sides was drunk by Bai Shi. Immediately, Tong Dali took Baishi and walked towards the fortress on the top of the mountain.

When Baishi climbed to the top of the military fortress of Xiewang Mountain, he saw a large white tent not far away. Outside the big tent, Shi Chong, the head of the special regiment, hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. Bai Shi waved his hand coldly, and Tong Dali winked at Shi Chong when he saw this, signaling him to step back. When Shi Chong saw Tong Dali's pig-headed image, he suddenly didn't dare to take a breath, and hurriedly got out of the way.

After dozens of steps, Bai Shi finally walked to the big tent, but he was not in a hurry to open the curtain door, his right hand was on it, and the whole person was motionless, as if he was very afraid. After a long time, a military doctor came over with a bowl of steaming medicine. The bitter smell woke up Shiraishi who was deep in thought. With a light cough, Shiraishi opened the curtain door of the big tent for the military doctor, and he followed one to enter.
