Chapter 90: For Whom the Bell Tolls III
readx;
The huge head of the giant fox was so close that he could even feel its heavy snort, and he could see his own appearance clearly through his pupils. The giant fox took a breath www.biquge.info his chest slowly bulged, and then opened his bloody mouth and roared, and his mouth spewed out an extremely strong smell of blood, mixed with countless pieces of flesh and bones, which hit the knight's cheek like a stone.
The knight's face was stained with countless blood stains in an instant, and he didn't know whether it was his own or his robe. He trembled and put his hand on the hilt of the knife and said, "Fox... Raccoon dog... Kill... Kill...
Before the sword could be unsheathed, the part above the knight's shoulder had been swallowed by the giant fox.
The frightened horse ran away, still carrying a stiff and erect half-torso on its back.
The extent of the situation getting out of control far exceeded estimates, and the knights of the Li family were now in a state of collapse.
I can't guess if there will be a turnaround before I let go, but if I escape like this, at least half of the soldiers will not have a way to live. Fortunately, the inner city of Qingjiang is already in sight, and Li Geshu still has a trace of luck in his heart, if the giant fox abandons his family and rushes to the strong city, then he is somewhat sure that the giant fox will be killed, at least the Li family and his party can retreat.
Sure enough, the vigilant Ma Kuo had already covered the city with crossbowmen, and he himself was also a god arm bow.
The giant fox ran a few miles away from Qingjiang City, and for some reason it never came closer than half a step, allowing the Li clan to gradually reorganize the team and walk out of its field of vision.
Seeing this, Ma Kuo at the head of the city ordered the bowstring to be loosened and guarded.
Ma Rulong was also very strange, according to the speed of the giant fox rushing to the south gate it was only a moment, why did it suddenly stop, is it really afraid of the bow and crossbow?
Ma Kuo was noncommittal, but his eyes kept staring at the white eagle hovering above the giant fox, and he always felt that something was wrong.
This kind of carving is called "chasing clouds" in the Central Plains is extremely rare, but it is not the first time that it has appeared in the sky above the Qingjiang River recently. The cloud-chasing snow sculpture is between a demon and a beast, and even in the heyday of the martial saint entering the fog pool, there were humans who tamed it.
But Zhuyun is too rare, and the demon clan has never brought it in the battle for a hundred years, and Ma Kuo stared at it for a long time and didn't see any fame, so he couldn't understand the giant fox's abnormal behavior.
It has excellent eyesight and can speak both human and animal languages, and is often used for detective purposes. But it can understand some people's words, but it can't express it, it doesn't seem to be in the demon clan array, and the two sides communicate without hindrance. This chasing cloud is the eyeliner and herald messenger of the cloud tree demon array, and the giant fox does not dare to enter the city is also the order of the cloud tree demon formation, and the giant fox is just a small vanguard of the demon array, so naturally he does not dare to disobey the military orders in this array.
Thanks to this reason, Lee's casualties were much smaller. At this moment, the herald sent by Li Songqing happened to arrive and said that Li Wuxiong and his party had bypassed the Cloud Tree Demon Formation and appeared dozens of miles to the west. Li Geshu was worried that there was no way to find Li Wuxiong, and when he heard this, he immediately took the herald to the west, looking for Li Wuxiong on the one hand, and the main formation led by Li Songqing on the other.
The giant fox behind him grinned irritably, patrolling left and right, but it was like an invisible wall in front of him, and he didn't dare to take another half step forward, so he let them leave so easily.
Li Geshu had not gone out for ten miles, and there was a team rushing to meet him, with chariots and horses in parallel, and women and children were mixed. After Li Geshu looked at it carefully, he was so angry that he was terrified, isn't this the team that Li Xiangqing escorted? Why did he go back in a mess, could it be that the clan mutinied?
The team recognized that these hundred and ten knights were the commanders of the family master, and they exploded in an instant. The child, who didn't dare to cry and only cared about fleeing for her life, finally relieved her hanging heart after seeing Li Geshu, and immediately burst into tears, and no one who could speak clearly could find it.
Brother Li asked sharply: Where is Li Songqing, and why is Li Songqing not here?
Li Geshu asked a few words, but after tossing and turning for a while, Li Geshu, who was in a hurry, was about to explode. Li Geshu had a lot of means to govern the army and the Qi family in the past, but he was a little looser in controlling women and children, and all the women and children around him were frightened, where could he explain clearly.
After a long time, he finally asked Li Songqing clearly in the back hall of the team.
Brother Li sighed in his heart, secretly thinking that he had been ambushed.
Li Geshu knew that the casualties of returning to Qingjiang would be out of control, and he would not be able to escape from the fifteenth after the first day of the new year, so he ordered more than 3,000 men and horses to rest in place, and then slowly went west and still followed the plan to Daocheng. After that, he rushed to the aid of Li Songqing with dozens of capable knights.
It's just that he never thought that the women, children and children had already been frightened by the tragic fighting in the rear, and if he Li Geshu personally arranged it, he could also put it in order and leave Qingjiang, but it was a fool's dream to drive more than 3,000 frightened birds back into the net with dozens of knights who did not have much prestige. The crowd was rolling like a river, and it still flowed back to Qingjiang City.
Behind the formation, several forces really fought together, and the chaos was very great.
First of all, more than a dozen horses with different pupils chased Yin Yuan here, and Ma Taxue followed the different pupil horses in order to protect the horses. The three parties chased after me, fought endlessly, and just blocked the transfer route of the Li family.
The alien pupil horse was distracted by a large number of humans, and scattered its hooves to charge into battle. The Li family's good hands were taken away by Li Geshu, and the total number of different pupil horses that suddenly appeared here was only eleven, but all of them were incomparable, where could Li Songqing stop it with his own strength. Li Songqing had no choice but to let everyone retreat, and he took a dozen people to meet the delay.
In one shot, more than a dozen lives were swept into the hooves of the heterogeneous horse, and Li Songqing was also knocked to the ground, but fortunately, he was nimble, and he rolled on the ground a few times before he would be trampled into meat sauce.
Li Songqing and Li Wuxiong are both rigid people who would rather bend than bend, and they don't even weigh the situation of the enemy and mine, and they turned over another horse and fought for their lives against the different pupil horse.
The silver curl smeared oil under his feet and ran away early, and the horse on the other side stepped on the snow and stopped his mount from a distance, knowing that Li Songqing was not an opponent and did not pay for help. Originally, the enemies were very red when they saw each other, and it was a fool's dream to expect Ma Taxue to come to the rescue, and if he didn't step forward to cut off a few heads, he would be worthy of the Qingjiang armor on his body and the ancestral teachings that had been instilled for decades.
But there was another reason why he was here. In fact, before Li Geshu's mutiny, Ma Taxue had already received the military order to go to the front line to investigate the whereabouts of Ma Qing and his party, so he didn't know about the open break between the Li family and the Ma family at this moment.
He still couldn't understand why the people of the Li clan appeared here, and he even had such a thought in his mind: Could it be that Qingjiang City has been broken? In a blink of an eye, he suppressed this thought, after all, these people were neatly dressed and had sufficient baggage, not like they fled after the city was broken, not to mention that he could still see the Cloud Tree Demon standing still from a distance.
Ma Taxue secretly said in her heart: What conspiracy is this old thief hiding?
But Li Songqing and the heterogeneous horse gradually lost their support after more than a dozen rounds, and there was no trace of Li Geshu, Ma Taxue inevitably had a pimple in his heart: Why is the old thief not there?
He took a closer look, and there were indeed many old and weak women and children in the team, and almost none of the cultivators who could be named were there. He secretly guessed: In this way, Li Geshu must have transferred his family and cut off his worries first, and then fought with us?
Ma Taxue thought about it, and this explanation is the most likely.
After all, Ma Taxue does not often occupy a high position and make decisions, so his thoughts are inevitably simple and superficial. The two clans have the hatred of killing their brothers and seizing power, which is already a situation of life and death regardless of success or failure.
Li Geshu is such an old and deep person, how could he transfer his family and family members before the decisive battle to vent the courage and determination of the whole clan, and when the clan loses the fighting spirit, how can they win!
If you can speculate at this level, it is not difficult to guess that Li Songqing's trip must have been a westward migration of the whole family, but it was Ma Taxue who was here, not Ma Rulong or Ma Kuo.
Since the dungeon's thorough talk, Ma Taxue has converged a lot, and even a little too much. At this moment, he actually hesitated whether to step forward to help him pretend to be peaceful in the world, or turn the horse's head and continue to chase Yinyuan.
At this time, Li Songqing was already covered in bruises. He is also a bloody man, and under the siege of eleven horses with different pupils who are guarding the first phase of the realm, he has struggled to support twenty rounds without falling. You must know that Li Songqing was so badly injured in his early years that he did not grow in his cultivation for more than ten years, and it was the white horse with different pupils that hurt him; now that new hatred and old hatred are pouring into his heart, the quenched short sword in Li Songqing's hand flies up and down, and it really dragged the different pupil horse here, and the clansmen also took advantage of this gap to quickly retreat.
But there is always an end to manpower, and Li Songqing is not an unborn genius like a martial saint or a great grandmaster, and he can't withstand the crushing of the wheel war after all.
Li Songqing's knees weakened, and he fell to his knees on the verdant meadow.
Eleven horses with different pupils formed a cone formation and rushed to kill, countless broken grass splashed, and three or two dark clouds fell into the rain.
Li Songqing no longer struggled, and died silently with his eyes closed.
