In the endless grassland, three columns of men and horses were running fast, like three huge arrows, pointing directly at the high slope to the west.

The Northern Army is running, and it does not dare to stop running for a moment, and only by outrunning the other party can it survive today.

From time to time, rows of feathered arrows fell, falling on the body of the Northern Army, on the way forward. After every rain of arrows, dozens of horses will fall, maybe the knight on the horse is still alive, but no one dares to stop to rescue, in this time of life and death, a moment's delay will take the lives of many more.

The holly bird was wheezing, strands of glittering blood rolling down its feathers towards its tail and spilling on the green grass behind it.

Wu Yan was gasping, watching the black dots rolling down from the team, which were the soldiers of the Northern Army who were hit by arrows, and the remorse in his heart was pressed down like a mountain.

Zu Yuantong was gasping, his eyes gradually reddened, and he brought out these soldiers single-handedly. As a general from an ordinary family, he has been welcoming people around for so many years, and he has saved this little bit of family wealth little by little. Today, it is possible to burn his nearly ten years of hard work, how can it not make his heart ache.

Behind him, Lu Lie's arrogant laughter came, "Wu Gan, I didn't expect you to be chased like a lost dog today." Gu Yangsi's method is really good, if you dare to risk yourself, I will dare to use my example as bait to see who of us can play whom. ”

Wu Yan didn't say a word, he had defeated Lu Lie and others, and he unconsciously felt contempt in his heart, so he rushed into the enemy formation. It was because of his own psychology that the other party laid such a simple trap, but he jumped in.

Originally, I was not such an arrogant person, I can only say that it has been smooth sailing over the years, and I feel that I can play with my opponent in the palm of my hand, and I unconsciously lost my vigilance and committed the mistake of arrogance.

Looking at the soldiers who kept falling, Wu Gan was burned, turned his head and shouted at Niu Chao, who was following him, "Then the flag runs forward, no matter what happens, don't stop." ”

As he spoke, he handed over the tooth flag in his hand to Niu Chao, and he turned around and ran to the end of the team.

Niu Chao held the flag with some hesitation, and the giant mastiff under him also slowed down his steps.

"Run." Wu Qian turned his head and shouted angrily, his face was hideous, so frightened that Niu Chao hurriedly urged the giant mastiff and rushed forward desperately.

Luo Zhang was just about to take someone back to the guard, but Wu Gen stopped categorically and pointed to the distance, "Take the brothers out." As he spoke, he did not retreat, but went upstream, like a migratory fish, and ran firmly towards the tail of the team.

As soon as he arrived at the end of the team, there was a sound of scolding horses from his side, and when he turned his head, it was Luo Zhang and Zu Yuantong who followed.

"What are you doing here?" Wu Gan's heart was slightly warm, but there was no trace of warmth on his face.

"The subordinates are ordered by the captain of the water school to protect the owner of the village, where the owner of the village is, the subordinates are there." Luo Zhang arched his hand and guarded it with a halberd.

Zu Yuantong grinned and said with a wry smile: "Wu Zhenfu, this is my people, and it should be my responsibility as a thousand households after the break." Today, I also let it go, and I lost people, so what's the use of keeping my thousand households. ”

"As long as this battle can be won in the end, I will make up for you." Wu Yan looked at the other party squarely and solemnly promised.

"Really, that's good, I'll go with Zhenfu today." Zu Yuantong was a little excited.

Turning his head and glancing at Lu Lie, who was laughing arrogantly behind him, Wu Yan let the holly bird move forward, resisting the stray arrows that kept flying, and took off the sky-shaking bow from his body.

Raising his hand, carrying the string, and pulling the bow, the furious Wu Qian poured the blood and qi into the heaven-shaking bow. A white stout arrow appeared in front of the pursuers, the smoke and dust billowed and the whistle was terrible, drawing a thick white line, pointing straight at Lu Lie, who was chasing wildly on horseback.

A chill struck, fear enveloped his heart, and Lu Lie, who was originally full of confidence, was beating faster, looking at the long arrow whistling in horror. Desperately pulling on the reins, trying to avoid the sudden blow.

This arrow can definitely kill himself, Lu Lie screamed wildly in his heart, but it is one thing to understand, but it is another thing to react, and his body is locked on the horse and cannot move. Seeing that the arrow was about to hit him, suddenly a figure appeared in front of his horse.

Bu Kuan's arms were crossed, his body curled slightly, and a circular red halo appeared around him, blocking Lu Lie's body.

There was a loud bang, and after the dazzling brilliance, the red or white streamers rolled and rushed around, like fireworks, blooming wantonly in the air.

Bu Kuan insisted on using his body to block Wu Gan's angry blow. The person was also knocked out and rolled on the ground several times before he got up, and a huge hole appeared in the heart guard on his chest.

"Pacify." Lu Lie came to his senses at this time and hurriedly asked people to save Bu Kuan. The two wings of the front army were respectively in charge of Bu Kuan and Cangjia Zhenfu Cangyu, and Wu Gan's men and horses must be left behind, in order to defeat the northern army in one fell swoop.

Among them, Cang Yu was the one who sneaked up on Wu Yan in the air, and although Bu Kuan was on the right flank, he always kept a close distance from Lu Lie, in case of accidents, but he didn't expect to really save Lu Lie's life.

"I'm fine, the armor blocks most of the power. Young master, be careful, this arrow should be a magic weapon of the human race, and it has a lot of killing power. Bu Kuan jumped up, jumped onto the horse of a personal soldier, and walked side by side with Lu Lie.

Lu Lie breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that compared to this one, his ability to command the army was still much worse, if it weren't for his pressure, how could the other families be so cooperative.

"Wu Gan, if I catch you today, I won't let you die, I will definitely let you taste the taste of life is worse than death." Lu Lie gritted his teeth and said, turned his head and asked Bu Kuan, "The people of the Ba family have gone out." ”

"The young master can rest assured, he has selected dozens of cultivators who have been ambushed in advance in the retreat of the Northern Army. As long as our army maintains the current pursuit posture, it will definitely let the northern army fall into a trap. Bu Kuan touched his chest, and there was still a faint pain.

"Okay, I'll see how they escape." Lu Lie smiled fiercely, but saw another arrow flying in front of him, but it did not shoot at him, but exploded on his side. Suddenly, several soldiers flew up, and their bodies were blown apart.

In the distance, Wu Jian saw that Lu Lie was rescued by Bu Kuan, and sighed slightly in his heart, it was pointless to sneak attack the other party again, and when an evil fire could not be vented, he could only take Lu Lie's personal soldiers to vent his anger.

The body of these transformed soldiers is really not ordinary, it is said that with one arrow, it is not a problem to shoot dozens of ordinary soldiers, but against the soldiers of Shanglu Lie, they can only kill seven or eight.

"Look, owner." Luo Zhang on the side suddenly pointed to the right rear side of the team, "The cavalry here is chasing slowly." ”

Wu Gan took a look, and sure enough, the two wings of the pursuers who were advancing in unison, the right side was obviously a lot slower than the left side, so that the opponent could not be encircled at the same time, and there was a gap in the encirclement.

"Tell Niu Chao that the direction of our army's march is slightly inclined to the right and rush out." Wu Qian commanded loudly, Luo Zhang hurriedly urged the horse, and caught up with Niu Chao, who was sitting on the back of the giant mastiff and trembling with his tooth flag.

Following the guidance of the banner, the defeated and fleeing northern army deviated slightly to the right, forming a sleek arc and rushing towards the high slope in the distance.

"When we cross that slope, we will be able to see Yugu City, and our people will be able to see us." Wu Qian pointed to the high slope in the distance as he ran. According to the plan before the attack, Wu Jian put the rest of his men and horses near Yugu City, ready to meet him.

It's just that I didn't expect that it would retreat so quickly and so flustered today, and I don't know if Shui Congyue would have time to react.

Niu Chao was already approaching the high slope, the pursuers on the left were only less than a mile away from Wu Gan, and the pursuers on the right were still far behind.

Wu Gan's tense heart breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he rushed up the high slope and took advantage of the opportunity to go downhill, he couldn't say that he would be able to get rid of the pursuers.

Suddenly, there was a figure shaking under the high slope, each of whom carried four small flags. Seeing the northern army coming, they scattered in all directions.

The figure of the giant mastiff has already rushed up the high slope, and the tooth flag hunting and flying is rapidly rising along the slope.

A large number of soldiers of the Northern Army had arrived at the bottom of the slope, and suddenly there was a commotion in front of them, like a fried pot, and the soldiers scattered to both sides, as if there was something in front of them blocking everyone's way.

Wu Yan was shocked, and rushed forward with Luo Zhang and Zu Yuantong, only to find that the originally solid ground had turned into a swamp.

Niu Chao and some of the men and horses had already crossed the swamp due to their fast galloping speed, and were heading towards the top of the slope.

The soldiers of the Northern Army who followed behind were deeply trapped in the mire, and many horses were broken in the mud because of the sudden slowdown, and the horses' front legs were broken, and they were lying in the mud to survive. The muddy water gradually covered their mouths and noses, and gently pulled the horse's carcass into their arms.

The mud was very sticky and thick, and many people were thrown into the mud and struggled to get up, but they were desperate to find that their feet were pulled by the mud more than three feet deep, and every step was very difficult.

"What to do." Zu Yuantong's face was frightened, these quagmires were still expanding, and those who were carrying small flags threw down the flags on their backs as they ran. As the flag fell to the ground, the mire continued to stretch forward as if it were alive, and now in front of the Northern Army, a winding swamp was like a city wall, blocking the way.

This is the people of the Ba family, it turns out that they are hiding here, and only the Ba family has this means of changing the terrain. No wonder the cavalry on the left and right flanks behind him were so far apart, it turned out that the people had already tied their pockets in advance, and they were waiting to load their thousands of people.

In front of him, the way has been blocked. Behind him, the left and right flanks of the coalition army were like two spears, stabbing at the northern army one after the other.

Wu Gen glanced at the pursuers on the right flank, who were still some distance away, "Go to the right and walk along the edge of the swamp to see if you can stand out before the pursuers arrive, and how much you can run." ”

Zu Yuantong's face changed sharply, he knew that Wu Yan was ready to give up these subordinates who were stuck in the quagmire. As a thousand households, he naturally knew that Wu Gan's choice was right, but in the face of these subordinates who were struggling in the mud and showing pleading faces, he was reluctant, really reluctant.

As soon as the words fell, a row of arrows fell, and the Cangjia cavalry on the left was only three hundred steps away from everyone, and they all took bows and aimed this way.

"Luo Zhang, take someone away." Wu Yan picked up a shield to protect himself, and ordered Luo Zhang to retreat to the right with his own soldiers, seeing that the other party was still a little hesitant, he said angrily: "Hurry up, this is an order." ”

Luo Zhang opened his mouth, finally turned his horse's head, and led the five hundred personal soldiers he brought to run towards the right.

"Zu Yuantong, why don't you go." Wu Gen said loudly.

Zu Yuantong stared at the soldiers who were trudging through the mud and being crucified one by one by the arrows of the Cang family, his lips trembled slightly, his chest continued to rise and fall, and his eyes were already blood-red, "It's gone, it's gone." ”

Suddenly, Zu Yuantong pushed away the soldiers who were holding the shield for him, threw his helmet, and stared at the Cangjia cavalry who were still shooting arrows.

These men had stopped, smiling on their faces, like hunters playing prey in a trap, and shot the Northern soldiers in the swamp one by one. Sometimes they don't even shoot them directly, but shoot them in the limbs first, nailing them into the mud and letting the mud cover their mouths and noses.

"Zu Yuantong?" Wu Yan greeted again.

Zu Yuantong twisted his tearful face and said miserably: "Wu Zhenfu, you go, take away the brothers who can still move." I don't blame you for the immortality of war. I'm not leaving, my people are mostly here, and someone has to accompany them and avenge them. ”

In the end, Zu Yuantong roared like a madman, his hair danced wildly, and blood and tears oozed from the corners of his eyes, "I know, you all look down on me and think I'm just a waste who tends to be inflammatory, greedy for life and afraid of death. Today, Lao Tzu will let you see that my ancestor Yuantong is not a bad seed. ”

Zu Yuantong's body was surrounded by black gas, he stretched out his hand and pulled out his saber, raised the knife and cut it on his forehead, and the blood on his face fell like a waterfall, like the legendary Shura, "Little ones, go, go, follow you thousands of households, regain your dignity, and regain our way home." ”33

Bang bang bang, these still alive soldiers of the Northern Army also had black qi rising from their bodies, their eyes were blood-red, and their momentum skyrocketed. Or they got up from the mud with feathered arrows on their bodies, or they rode forward, completely unafraid of the oncoming rain of arrows, like evil spirits coming out of hell.

Knock, heavy footsteps sounded, the sound became louder and denser, these northern soldiers, under the leadership of Zu Yuantong, rushed to the Cangjia cavalry on the left flank without hesitation.

Seeing Luo Zhang lead people out of the encirclement before the right-wing pursuers arrived, Wu Gan's hanging heart finally relaxed.

Turning his head to look at the desolate and tragic backs behind Zu Yuantong, Wu Yan muttered softly, "Wait for me, wait for you waste to be calmed." ”

Some people died, but not completely......
