The guillotine prison is one mile away from the first line of heaven

The black armor emperor Tibetan cavalry army, the battle flag was hunting in mid-air with the cold wind, and the entire army was silent, only the breath of slaughter permeated the whole army. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the front of the team, a young general in a silver robe and silver armor sat on a horse, his handsome face was full of killing intent, and his eagle eyes were condensed in the Wu army camp in the distance, this person was Ma Chao.

Ma Chao looked up at the crescent moon that had risen above his head in the sky, the time of the secret passage was almost up, he took a deep breath, and ordered: "Beat the drum, let the three thousand heavy horsemen on the left attack." ”

"Yes!" the herald took the order.

Ma Chao ordered again: "Fight again, order three thousand archers on the right to attack." ”

"Yes!" another herald took the order again.

Knock knock~~

In an instant, the thunderous war drums rose to the sky, breaking the silence of the night, with the passionate war drums, the blood of the emperor's cavalry began to boil, panting, and the eyes full of war intent looked at Ma Chao in front of him.

Ma Chao slowly pulled out the silver spear, pointed the tip of the spear at the enemy barracks, and ordered: "Blow the horn, three thousand short throws to ride behind, and the remaining one thousand guns and horses are in front, for the glory of the Emperor and Tibetan Army, brothers, kill with me!"

Woo woo ~ ~

The muffled horn of the charge sounded.

"Kill~" The Tibetan cavalry was lined up into dozens of large and small phalanxes, like a torrent that burst the embankment, bringing up dust in the sky, and went away with Ma Chao's wild attack.

Time goes back a quarter of an hour

Inside Wu Jun's tent, Wu Yan looked at the map on the screen, and a smug smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

"Big brother, this damn weather, I'm freezing to death" At this moment, De Feng opened the curtain of the tent, quickly flashed into the tent, sat down in front of the brazier and muttered and complained.

"En!" Wu Yan nodded, tightened his collar, and then sat down in front of the brazier, picked up a piece of firewood and added it to the brazier to make the fire more vigorous, and then asked, "How is the arrangement?"

De Feng took a bottle of liquor from the side, raised his head and poured it hard, and exhaled comfortably before saying, "I have let the soldiers rest early, and in the past two days, the soldiers have been exhausted!"

"Yes, the brothers have been following us from Kyoto, and they haven't had a good night's sleep, and tomorrow there will be another war, so let them sleep well today. Wu Yan nodded sympathetically.

"Eh, big brother, I want to ask you something!" Defeng suddenly mysteriously approached Wu Yan's side and whispered.

"Oh?" Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then scolded with a smile: "What are you doing so mysteriously, just ask if you have anything!"

"Hehe~" Wu Yan smirked, looked left and right nervously, and then asked in a low voice: "After the poisonous dog came that day, he disappeared after informing us of the plan, where did you say he went?"

Hearing this, Wu Yan frowned, his body trembled slightly, and he lowered his head and added a match to the brazier again, before he reluctantly said, "Why are you asking this?" ”

"I'm not curious, to be honest, I always feel uncomfortable when he's here, although he is resourceful, but I really hope he leaves quickly!" De Feng showed disgust on his face and complained to Wu Yan in a low voice.

"Then your hopes may be dashed!" Wu Yan continued to stir up the match, glanced at the door without a trace, and only said in a low voice after confirming that there was no one at the door: "Listen to him, he seems to be going to scream for hell." ”

"What?" Defeng exclaimed uncontrollably, and then in Wu Yan's frowning and stern eyes, he hurriedly covered his mouth and swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty before saying, "He went there to Tao Mo Xuan's hometown?"

"En!" Wu Yan nodded, and said with a contemplative expression: "He was arrogant, and he wanted to take this opportunity to climb the Chu Temple, but not only did he cause heavy losses to the Qin Imperial Army, but even Ma Renqiu was killed by Mo Xuan. ”

"En!" De Feng nodded thoughtfully, feeling a little sad for Mo Xuan for provoking this mad dog covered in poison.

"Don't care about so much, tomorrow the other three armies will have to act, and then Mo Xuan will definitely not be able to resist the tripartite coalition army, and will definitely retreat to the first-line heavenly dao, as long as we rely on the precipitousness of the first-line heavenly dao, hold it steadily, and then let Mo Xuan'er pay the price and avenge General Li." Under the light of the fire, the hatred in Wu Yan's eyes shone brightly.

"You know, General Li has the grace of knowing our two brothers, and if we can't avenge him, we will be in vain. Defeng waved his hand and roared loudly.

Knock knock~~

At this moment, the passionate and rapid war drums suddenly sounded, accompanied by the horn of the charge, and the thunderous vibration sounded in the chests of Wu Yan and Defeng.

"What?" Wu Yan and the two glanced at each other in surprise, suddenly exclaimed in unison, stood up at once, listened attentively for a moment, and slowly climbed into a frightened look on his face, with his experience in marching for many years, he knew that this was the sound of cavalry charging.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack! Hurry, get up!" After waking up, the two people rushed out of the military tent with their legs drawn, shouting and screaming.

After two days and one night of running wildly, the soldiers of the Wu army were already tired, and as soon as they entered the tent and washed it briefly, they collapsed on the bed, and they fell into a deep sleep in less than a minute.

At this moment, the screams of Wu Yan and Defeng made some soldiers open their eyes in confusion, listen carefully for a while, suddenly widen their eyes in shock, and the residual trace of sleepiness disappeared in an instant, shaking the comrades who were still asleep next to them woke up, hurriedly put on their equipment, and rushed out of the camp with weapons in hand.

The soldiers who left the camp looked up and saw that the lights outside the barracks were bright at this moment, and the sound of horses' hooves was heard in all directions.

Ma Chao looked at the enemy antlers who were only guarded by a few hundred people not far away, a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth, and said secretly: Sure enough, as the lord expected, the enemy army must be tired after a long journey, and it is precisely this opportunity that has given our army.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, raised the silver spear in his hand, and shouted: "Brothers, rush into the enemy camp in one fell swoop, kill with me!"

"Bang~"

In the terrified eyes of the enemy soldiers, Ma Chao's spear hit the antlers, and the antlers made of solid wood were like tofu, which were shattered by Ma Chao's spear in an instant, turning into sawdust scattered in the wind.

"Kill~" Ma Chao saw that the antlers had been opened, his eyes showed an excited look, he opened his mouth and roared, waved the silver spear in his hand, and rode his horse into the enemy bush.

"Poof" "Poof"

Before the two enemy soldiers could react, Ma Chao's silver spear flashed, blood splattered, and two confused heads flew up.

"Kill~" The imperial cavalry behind him saw that his general was so brave, and his heart was arrogant, and he roared loudly, and as Ma Chao opened the opening, he smashed into the panicked enemy group, and the blood of the enemy soldiers killed was splashed, and he screamed again and again.

Finally assembled 5,000 troops Wu Yan saw that Ma Chao was so brave and extraordinary, and fear flashed in his eyes, but after all, Wu Yan had led troops for many years, and he was not like Monk Changxing and others who had not experienced war for a long time and did not know how to use troops.

Although there was panic in his heart, Wu Yan was sober, and he gave an order: "Carry the antlers, the shield soldiers stand the shields, and the spearmen stand the spears." ”

As soon as the military order was given, the soldiers reacted quickly, brought two layers of antlers, and stood in front of the formation to resist the cavalry rushing wildly.

Ma Chao looked at the layers of defense against the enemy army in the distance, his brows furrowed, and then he suddenly ordered: "Prepare for the short throw horse!"

Woo~woo~~

Under the order, the horn suddenly changed, and the battle flag of the Chinese army flew.

In the blink of an eye, Ma Chao had rushed to the front of the enemy army with a spear.

"The spear goes straight out!" Looking at the attacking enemy army, Wu Yan's face was resolute, and the military order came down.

"Kill~" With Wu Yan's order, the spearmen straightened out the spears in their hands and coldly aimed at the approaching enemy cavalry.

Ma Chao looked at the enemy army in front of him, a strange sneer hung on the corner of his mouth, his spear was raised high, and he ordered: "Divide!"

The order was forbidden, this cavalry was like his own hands and feet in Ma Chao's hands, and as soon as the order was issued, the spear cavalry that rushed forward suddenly split into two from it, and in Wu Yan's puzzled eyes, a short cavalry of three thousand in the rear was revealed.

Ma Chao turned around and sneered, shouting, "Throw!"

Brush~

The first 1,000 cavalry followed Ma Chao's military order, their arm muscles tensed, and they threw the broken spear in their hands at the enemy.

Wu Yan frowned and looked at the strange movements of the enemy army, and a trace of uneasiness rose in his heart, and the next scene made Wu Yan's uneasiness a reality.

In Wu Yan's frightened eyes, the broken spears ignored the resistance of the wooden shield and penetrated the wooden shield directly, leaving round holes in the shield and stabbing the soldiers behind the wooden shield.

"Ahh

Wu Yan's eyes widened, and his heart was full of shock and horror.

"Divide, throw!" The cold and cruel military order came again with Ma Chao's drinking order.

After throwing a round directly, the short throwing horses parted on both sides, revealing another thousand short throwing horses that were already ready in the rear.

"Retreat, retreat!" Wu Yan, who finally came back to his senses, looked at the broken spear that attacked again, screamed and ordered to retreat.

As soon as the enemy soldiers, who had already been frightened, heard Wu Yan's military order, they immediately threw down the weapons in their hands, turned around and fled to the rear.

Ma Chao's eyes were full of cold light, looking at the fleeing enemy army, he snorted coldly with disdain, and suddenly ordered the whole army to pursue.

Wu Yan finally joined Defeng's troops after throwing down more than 2,000 soldiers, looking at Defeng covered in blood, and the soldiers behind him were in a trance, showing horror, Wu Yan held Defeng who fell forward, and asked anxiously: "Ah Feng, what's the matter?"

After Defeng gasped violently a few times, he said with a crying voice: "Big brother, the breakthrough failed, the western battalion attacked 3,000 heavy armored cavalry, and the eastern battalion also had 3,000 archers, our army ..... I can't resist it!"

Wu Yan's intuition was like being hit by a sledgehammer, and his brain was buzzing, and then he came back to his senses, his face was full of defeat, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Flee to the south, the first line of sky is narrow, which is not conducive to the impact of the cavalry, and only by relying on the steepness of the first-line heaven can you resist the attack of the cavalry." ”

Wu Yan's words shocked the spirits of Defeng and other soldiers, and a glimmer of hope surged in their hearts, and only more than 5,000 Wu soldiers were left to flee to the first line of heaven under the leadership of Wu Yan.

A line of heaven is south

Land Rover listened to the faint shouting of killing from the north, and he already knew that he had already started to do it, and immediately shook his spirits and shouted excitedly: "Brothers, go, prepare to close the door and beat the water dogs!" haha~~"

"Yes!" Infected by the excitement of the Land Rover, the blood in the hearts of more than a thousand newly recruited soldiers of the Imperial Tibetan Army was ignited, and the timidity of the new battlefield dissipated, and only the fierce fighting spirit burst out from their eyes.

"Show our weapons and block a line of heaven. Land Rover continued to order passionately.

"Yes!" the soldier agreed, slowly pushing the mysterious objects covered by canvases behind him, tearing the canvas open, revealing the hideous and terrifying equipment inside, which was a newly cast ballista cart.

The soldiers quickly loaded the bows and arrows into the magazines, filled them with pruning, and then pushed the crossbow carts to the front of the first line of heaven, lined up, and the five hundred ballista carts were lined up in three rows, and the exposed arrow tips reflected the cold light under the light of the crescent moon.

Wu Yan and Defeng led the soldiers whose morale was broken, lost their armor all the way, and were driven by Ma Chao to the front line of heaven.

Looking at the first-line Heavenly Dao in front of him, a trace of joy finally appeared in Wuyan's eyes, and he roared excitedly: "Brothers, speed up your pace, as long as we enter the first-line Heavenly Dao, we will not be afraid of the cavalry behind us!"

Wu Yan's words made the spirit exhausted, and a glimmer of hope ignited in the hearts of the frightened soldiers in their hearts, and the desire to survive made them temporarily suppress their tiredness, and quickly rushed to the front line of heaven with Wu Yan.

Ma Chao, who was fifty steps away from the rear, looked at the enemy troops who had entered the first-line Heavenly Dao, and the corners of his mouth slowly showed a smile, and then he couldn't help the joy in his heart, and laughed out loud: "Haha~ Finally drove the dog into the poor alley, now look at where you are fleeing, brothers, block the exit of the first-line Heavenly Dao for me, and trap them alive." ”

"Yes!" The soldiers of the Emperor and Tibetan Army, who had been busy all night, were relieved to see the enemy army entering the first-line Heavenly Dao, and their hearts were filled with infinite excitement, and they raised their swords and shouted, quickly arming outside the first-line Heavenly Dao and blocking the exit.

"Big brother, look, the enemy army is not chasing!" Defeng, who was running, inadvertently turned his head and glanced behind him, and saw that the Emperor Tibetan Army stopped outside the first line of Heavenly Dao, and immediately shouted excitedly.

"Oh?" Wu Yan took two steps forward and slowly stopped, looking back, sure enough, the Emperor Tibetan Army was only arranging antlers and other defenses outside the first-line Heavenly Dao at the moment, and did not pursue them, and he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Wu Yan leaned against the mountain wall and took two breaths before taking a closer look at the remaining soldiers at the moment.

This look made Wu Yan's nose sour, and tears almost welled up in his eyes, only to see the remaining soldiers covered in blood, their faces full of filth, their armor was twisted and draped on their bodies, and half of the soldiers were even empty-handed, even if they still held the weapon, it was also a warped and broken edge, full of gaps in the edge of the blade, and there was a confused look in their eyes.

If you want to think about the 30,000 troops that were once mighty, and then look at the remnants of less than 5,000 soldiers left, Wu Yan felt regret for the first time in his heart.

"Whew~" Wu Yan took a few deep breaths of cool air, suppressed the tears gushing out, stood up straight and said in a shocking voice: "Brothers, work harder, rush out, don't stay in the front line of heaven." ”

"Big brother, are you afraid that Mo Xuan will block the exit over there?" Hearing this, De Feng had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and asked anxiously.

"Hmm!" Wu Yan nodded with a solemn face and said: "The south of the first-line Heavenly Dao is a shouting hell, if Mo Xuan sends soldiers from home to block it, our army will have no way to escape, so we must rush out quickly, now I hope that Mo Xuan will take this into account later and give us a gap time, but ..... Alas~" After speaking, he sighed deeply, judging from tonight's scene, even he couldn't convince himself.

"Alas~ I hope so!" De Feng sighed with Wu Yan's words, and then the remaining soldiers slowly walked to the south of the first line of heaven under the leadership of Wu Yan and Defeng.

The intersection was getting closer and closer, Wu Yan and the others were getting heavier and heavier, and by the faint moonlight, they saw that the terrifying and hideous instruments at the exit were standing in a row in front of them, and the tips of the arrows were facing them.

"People in front of you stop, this road is impassable!" Land Rover looked at Wu Yan and the others, and the great god shouted.

"Stop!" With Land Rover's words, the soldiers of the Emperor Tibetan Army roared in unison, and the earth-shattering roar was recalled for a long time in the Heavenly Dao.

"Stop!" Wu Yan raised his hand with one hand, ordered the army to be stopped, and looked at the equipment in front of him with an ugly face.

"Big ...... Big brother, it seems to be the crossbow cart that Mo Xuanjun said in the intelligence that can fire continuously!" Defeng saw the equipment in front of him, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and stammered.

"Hmm!" Wu Yan nodded silently, the last glimmer of hope in his heart was shattered, and after contemplating for a while, he breathed a sigh of helplessness, his face instantly aged a lot, and he shouted weakly: "Throw all the weapons away!"

"Big brother, we still have hope, I cover you, you can break out, you...."Hearing this, Defeng was in a hurry and hurriedly said loudly.

Wu Yan put his hand up, stopped Defeng's words, and sighed: "Ah Feng, forget it, how can our army break through the siege in such a state? Surrender, don't waste the lives of your brothers in vain." ”

"Alas~" When Defeng heard this, he turned his head to look at his own soldiers behind him who were embarrassed and covered in blood, and sighed helplessly, and then threw out the long knife in his hand.

The soldiers abandoned their weapons, although they were unwilling, but Wu Yan's words were also deeply shocked in the hearts of everyone, and they sighed and threw down the weapons in their hands.

"Very good! Those who know the times are Junjie!" Just as everyone threw down the weapons in their hands, a shout of praise suddenly sounded behind them.

Everyone turned their heads to look and saw a young general in silver robe and silver armor standing behind him, a silver gun casually on his shoulder, looking at everyone indifferently.

"This must be Ma Chao, General Ma, right?" Wu Yan walked to the back of the team and said politely.

"Well, it's down there!" Although they are enemies, they are just their own masters, Ma Chao does not have any hatred for them in his heart, and when he saw that Wu Yan was polite, he also replied to Wu Yan.

"General Ma, sure enough, the master of art is bold, and he dares to come alone!" After Wu Yan exclaimed, without waiting for Ma Chao to reply, he continued: "General Ma, I, Wu Yan, do things by myself, and the head is here, you can take it off at will, I only have one request, to give my younger brother and brothers a way to live." ”

"Big brother!" "General!" Hearing this, De Feng and the soldiers behind him were in a hurry, their eyes were red, and the great god shouted.

"Shut up, stay honest with me!" Wu Yan's face turned grim, he turned his head slightly and shouted loudly to stop everyone's persuasion, and then looked at Ma Chao and said, "I wonder if General Ma can agree to Wu Yan's request!?"

"Hehe~" Ma Chao shook his head and smiled helplessly, and asked playfully: "I said General Wu, with your more than 5,000 remnants, what qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with me?"

"You..." Wu Yan's face turned angry, and he was insulted by Ma Chao in public, even if he wanted to scold angrily.

"Eh, General Wu, don't worry! I'm kidding you. Then Ma Chao raised his hand, interrupted Wu Yan's voice, and said with an indifferent smile: "I have a clear path here, which can not only protect your brother, but also protect yourself, and make contributions, I don't know if you want to hear it?"

"Oh?" Wu Yan was shocked, suppressed the anger in his heart, frowned and pondered for a while, his eyes lit up, he had already thought of a possibility, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart, and he asked with expectation: "I want to hear about it!"

Ma Chao stood up with a silver gun, his face was serious, and he said word by word: "Sincerely obey the lord!"

Although Wu Yan already had an idea in his heart, he confirmed from Ma Chao's mouth that his body was still shocked, and he did not answer Ma Chao immediately, but continued to bow his head and ponder.

Wu Yannai is a native of Kyoto, although he has no relatives at home, but after all, Kyoto is his hometown, and most of the families of these soldiers still live in Kyoto. So Wu Yan was in trouble for a while.

"General Wu!" Ma Chao saw Wu Yan who was contemplative, and nodded secretly in his heart, if Wu Yan agreed immediately, it would make Ma Chao suspicious, but he hesitated and did not answer at this moment, indicating that Wu Yan was really thinking about it.

Of course, Ma Chao also knew the concerns in his heart, and he didn't force him, interrupting his contemplation and saying: "You think about it, discuss it with those brothers of yours, and then decide after the lord returns, for the time being, you can only wronged General Wu!" Then with a wave of his hand, the soldiers who came behind him immediately rushed towards Wu Yan and the others.

Wu Yan nodded silently, did not resist, and let the soldiers tie him up.

"Lord, Ma Chao has completed the task! Now it's up to Yang Yuji!" Ma Chao looked at Wu Yan and the others who were tied up, looked up at the sky, and said silently in his heart.
