Chapter 264: Breaking Through (2)
Chapter 264 (2)
Li Yun and the others were galloping on their horses, and seeing that they were about to reach their own territory, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts, and finally returned here with a sigh of relief, and they had to find a place to rest immediately, and be ready to resist strong enemies at any time.
"You'd better stay. Just when the soldiers of the Xiyun Empire breathed a sigh of relief, dozens of people suddenly appeared out of nowhere, startling Li Yun and the others who were relaxed, and their minds instantly became vigilant, and when they found that there were only forty-one people in this group, they couldn't help but laugh dumbly, only forty people, after this fiasco, they became so unfrightened.
Li Yun, a man in the prime of life, naturally didn't know that these forty-one people were Zhang Huaming's recently formed team 'Death Blade', and the leader was none other than Shen Lishan, the leader of Leng Zhai and the captain of the Death Blade.
"Just a few of you want to stop us?" Li Yunlang laughed.
"You're wrong. Shen Lishan shook his head and said.
"Wrong, don't you want to kill us?" Li Yun was slightly surprised. On the battlefield, they are either friends or enemies, and they have never seen these people, so naturally they cannot be friends, so these people must be enemies. And although these forty-one people seem to be small in number, they all look quite fierce, obviously they are not good at coming, and they have been prepared for a long time.
Li Yun has been under Zhao Haoxuan for so many years, although his bravery and resourcefulness are not as good as Zhao Haoxuan's, but he has also learned a lot of things, knowing that since these people dare to appear here, they must not be good people, otherwise the other party would not dare to appear near the YĪN Fengguan to intercept him so unscrupulously.
Unexpectedly, that Zhang Huaming was so powerful that he had already thought of setting up an ambush before he was defeated and fled back to Yīn Fengguan.
However, no matter how brave the forty or so people are, can they still withstand the impact of thousands of cavalry.
Although Li Yun secretly reminded himself not to underestimate the enemy, he still invisibly underestimated the enemy.
"Now, by the way, we're here to kill you. Shen Lishan said indifferently, the light and breezy appearance seemed to be talking about a matter of wind and snow.
"Hmph, just with just forty people, they also want to kill more than a thousand of my cavalry, but there is no one in their eyes. Kill" Li Yun was furious by Shen Lishan's disdainful expression and tone, and he felt greatly insulted, especially when he had just suffered a fiasco, he was already extremely angry in his heart, but he didn't expect that Shen Lishan and the others would automatically send mén to find death, just enough to vent the anger in their hearts. So he waved his hand and shouted.
When the more than 1,000 cavalrymen behind him heard this, they immediately rode forward, surrounded Shen Lishan and the other forty-one people, brandished the cold long sword in their hands, and sprinted towards them as fiercely as a hungry wolf pounced.
"Self-defeating guys. Li Yun looked at Shen Lishan and the others, who were about to be trampled into mud under the iron horse, and snorted coldly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
To say that he is indeed inferior to Zhao Haoxuan in the last battle to kill the enemy, but if you want to be ruthless and unscrupulous, he is definitely a step above Zhao Haoxuan. Since these people are going to come and die, he will fulfill them.
However, the sneer on the corner of Li Yun's mouth had not disappeared, and a shocking scene occurred, and the sneer also froze on his face, dumbfounded, and his face was full of incredulity.
I saw that the forty-one people who were originally trapped in the encirclement suddenly changed rapidly, and at some point they unknowingly broke through to the outside of the encirclement, and surrounded the thousand cavalry, one by one, like a killing god from the Nine Hells, the long sword waved, cutting a gap in the air, and fell on the soldiers and war horses of the Xiyuan Empire.
In an instant, one after another, the cavalrymen of the Xiyuan Empire turned over on their backs, blood overflowed, and they died in an instant, and their souls returned to the sky, even the fierce and abnormal war horses could not resist the power of a sword by Shen Lishan and others, and they neighed in the sky for a lifetime, and then fell to the ground with a bang, raising a cloud of dust.
In just a moment, Li Yun witnessed the forty-one people whose origin was like ghosts, with knives in their hands, unceremoniously slaughtering the thousands of soldiers who had finally escaped from the battlefield with him.
"This ...... This is...... No...... No way. Li Yun's eyes were shocked, his eyes were frightened, and he muttered to himself in disbelief. These fellows are simply not human, and the brave and warlike cavalry under their command have not even been able to unite when they reach them, like decaying wood that is vulnerable to a single blow, and can be easily destroyed by someone at the slightest touch.
"You ...... Who the hell are you?" Li Yun forcibly suppressed the panic and fear in his heart, and asked sharply.
"The one who wants your life. Shen Lishan glanced at Li Yun, who was pretending to be calm, and said in an indifferent tone.
"Could it be that you are all Zhang Huaming's people?" Li Yun's heart turned sharply, and he asked urgently, with a faint expectation in his heart, hoping that they could shake their heads and deny this, otherwise they would have no way to live.
"We are the 'Blade of Death' under the seat of the Young Master. Shen Lishan seemed to be a devout believer, and said slowly with a solemn expression.
The Blade of Death, a sharp weapon wielded by Zhang Huaming in the dark. This was the glory and pride of Shen Lishan and all the members of the Blade of Death.
Naturally, they should treat their own glory and pride with the most pious heart and the most solemn attitude.
"Death-God-of-Blade...... Sure enough, it's the Grim Reaper......" When Li Yun heard this, his face suddenly became like dirt, his pupils were dilated, and he was dazed, muttering words that others couldn't understand.
"The young master said that those who stay alive should be taken away. Shen Lishan didn't look at Li Yun, and commanded a member of the Death Blade beside him.
They were only responsible for intercepting the deserters this time and bringing the enemy generals back to the barracks, as for what kind of general Zhang Huaming didn't say, they naturally didn't ask, he just saw Li Yun giving orders to other soldiers before, so he naturally decided that he was the general of the enemy army.
After killing a thousand cavalry of the Xiyuan Empire without saying a word, Shen Lishan took Li Yun, who was full of despair, and rushed to the location of Zhang Huaming's army.
Looking at the majestic city wall of Yīn Fengguan, which was gradually leaving him, Li Yun's heart was occupied by endless despair, he never thought that he had stayed in this city wall that was too familiar to be familiar for fifteen years, and now for the first time in his life, he felt that the distance was so untouchable.
When Shen Lishan and the others returned to the barracks with Li Yun, Zhang Huaming and Qin Xiaotian were wandering around the barracks at will.
"Now that the enemy general is dead, why don't you just take advantage of the victory to pursue and launch a siege battle, and take the Yīn Wind Pass, which is known as the first pass in the world, as quickly as possible?" Qin Xiaotian couldn't help but ask the doubts that were holding back in his heart.
"It's really a good choice to chase after the victory. Zhang Huaming nodded noncommittally and said, not refuting Qin Xiaotian's question, but said with a smile, "To win the Yīn Fengguan is completely a piece of cake for me. But I don't want to do that just yet. ”
After a pause, Zhang Huaming suddenly asked, "What do you think the Xiyuan Empire will have plans for the current battle of Fengguan and the defeat of Zhao Haoxuan's defenders?"
"What plan?" Qin Xiaotian couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he was not from the Xiyuan Empire, how did he know what plans the Xiyuan Empire would have. However, since Zhang Huaming deliberately asked himself this question, he obviously had a certain intention, so he frowned and pondered at the moment.
"If you were the ruler of the Xiyuan Empire, what would you do when the country was about to be captured and fallen by the enemy?" Qin Xiaotian pondered for no avail, and couldn't help but ask rhetorically.
"The Yīn Wind Pass is the most important mén household of the Xiyun Empire, once the army of our Xia Dynasty captures the Yīn Wind Pass, it is equivalent to a tiger entering Pingchuan, and no one can stop it, so the Xiyun Empire will definitely send a steady stream of troops to the Yīn Fengguan to resist our invasion. Zhang Huaming smiled, and Xiōng said with a smile.
"It is inevitable that we will suffer some losses in away battles, and we do not have any of the three conditions for winning the war, so we will obviously suffer a big loss. Since this is the case, then we must transfer the battlefield to our own home field, and transfer the three advantages of time, place, and people to ourselves. That's the main reason why I'm not attacking Yīn for the time being. Zhang Huaming gushed endlessly.
"Ah, you mean that you want to wait for the Xiyuan Empire to send a large army to the Yīn Fengguan, and then gather them together and wipe them out, and then we will wave our army into the territory of the Xiyuan Empire, and the obstacles and dangers we encounter will inevitably be greatly reduced, which will make up for the disadvantages of fighting away. Qin Xiaotian understood it at one point, and after listening to Zhang Huaming's words, he immediately suddenly realized.
"Yes, instead of us capturing the Yīn Wind Pass and entering the vast territory of the Xiyuan Empire, we must be vigilant against enemies coming from all directions at any time, and considering the grain and grass of the army, it is better for us to sit here and wait for the Xiyun Empire to transfer their army to the Yīn Wind Pass, when the time comes, we will concentrate our firepower and wipe out these large armies, and once we capture the Yīn Wind Pass, what can the Xiyuan Empire do to resist our army. This is a very good thing for us. Zhang Huaming laughed brightly.
"Clever plan, good plan. Qin Xiaotian carefully tasted Zhang Huaming's plan, and couldn't help but admire, and at the same time looked at Zhang Huaming with strange eyes and said, "Alas, only you dare to have this kind of thought." If it were anyone else, I am afraid that they would have long been eager to wave their army to capture Yīn Fengguan, and then wave their army into the territory of the Xiyuan Empire, how could anyone dare to take such a big risk like you. But there is no way, who told you that your strength is unfathomable, let alone conquering a yīn wind pass, even if it is ten hundred yīn wind passes, even if you are alone, it is not a problem at all. It's a good thing I'm not your enemy, or I'm afraid I wouldn't even know how I died. Qin Xiaotian shook his head and sighed again and again.
"Awards, awards. Ha ha. Zhang Huaming pretended to laugh proudly, and Qin Xiaotian felt depressed in his heart.
