Chapter 574: Killing and Saving People
On the field outside the fog, Wu Gen and the others looked at the giant eyes in the distance dumbfounded.
At the edge of the tumbling mist, the huge eyes slowly turned, emitting a gray-white light, like a giant beast eyeing the mist-shrouded deer hunting ridge.
"What is this?" Cheng Jie sighed almost groaning.
"Whatever it is, it must have something to do with this mist, and we need to find a way to destroy this strange eye." Xue Xin stepped forward and said in a deep voice.
Wu Yan bowed his head slightly, and withdrew his gaze from this giant eye, "Luo Zhang, where did the centaur who chased us go just now?"
"Owner, as soon as this fog comes out, all the scenes in the mirror disappear, and the centaur doesn't know where he went." Luo Zhang handed the mirror to Wu Gan, and sure enough, the mirror was white, and he couldn't see anything.
"It seems that this mirror can only be used in the fog, which means that the pursuers can't see us at this time. The order goes down, and everyone faces the mist, and when the pursuers appear, they release their arrows." Wu Yan suddenly figured out the reason, and just took advantage of the unpreparedness of the pursuers to make a surprise attack.
Three thousand men armed with bows and arrows were aimed in the direction of the fog. It's just that no one knows where the other party will come from, so they can only wait for him to appear.
"There." Luo Zhang roared and pointed to the right front of his team, from which more than a dozen Gu family cavalry dressed in white armor ran out, and the cavalry behind them also swarmed out.
Whoosh, Wu Gan took the lead in firing arrows, pointing directly at the cavalry who had just run out of the fog and were still a little dazed. As this arrow was fired, the three thousand men drew their bows in unison, and arrows flew out like rain, mercilessly burrowing into the ornately decorated armor of the ancient cavalry.
One by one, the horses neighed and fell to the ground, leaving long trails of blood in their wake. In an instant, hundreds of people were shot down from their horses.
Perhaps sensing that something was wrong, the cavalry did not rush out of the fog again. Wu Yan looked around at the movement in the fog, and after a long time, four or five miles away from the northern army, these pursuers finally showed their heads again.
This time they were obviously more cautious, and rushed out quickly behind the small number of people who were trying to ambush the soldiers. After waiting for it to come out, they quickly lined up a circle formation, which was the best formation to guard against an attack, after all, these people didn't know how many troops were lurking outside.
"Two hundred men will clean up the battlefield, and the rest will come with me." Wu Yan gave an order to Xue Xin, turned around and led people to rush towards those pursuers.
When he got closer, Wu Jian found that compared with the other cavalry of the ancient family, this chasing army looked more well-equipped, and everyone had white finches on top of their heads, especially a red round jade embedded under the white sparrow, which was shining and shining.
The general in the middle, Wu Gan, knew that it was the ancient white grass of the ancient family.
Looking at the spear like a forest on the opposite side, Wu Gan's right fist was raised, and the soldiers behind him gradually slowed down, "Gu Qianhu, you actually met here, what a coincidence."
"Wu Zhenfu, it turned out to be you, sure enough, no wonder the young master asked me to bring my own soldiers here, Zhenfu hurried here, could it be that he wanted to sneak attack me and break the barrier."
"So this strange eye is called Barrier Breaker." Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, pointed to the giant eye in the distance and asked, "What is the effect of this eye?"
Gu Baicao's face changed slightly, knowing that he had accidentally confided his secret, "Wu Zhenfu, the Ji family's horses have fallen into the mist and can't move, and our army will soon send troops to attack the mountain. I advise you to come down earlier, the young master of my family has always admired Zhenfu, why bother to bury the Ji family."
Wu Yan pursed his lips, but did not respond to the other party, looking at the broken barrier pupil in the distance, a trace of melancholy gradually appeared in his eyes, "It seems that this thing has something to do with this broken fog, no wonder Gu Yangsi values it so much, and specially sent you over to intercept it." By the way, why are you free to come and go in the fog?"
"Hehe, this is the secret art of the clan, and the mist released by my own house can still block the path of my own people." Gu Baicao glanced at the other side proudly, but he saw the mirror in Luo Zhang's hand, and his expression couldn't help but change greatly, "Where did you get this mirror, no wonder the Flying Tiger Army will die in your hands."
Immediately, he suddenly said, "Yes, the Zhishui Mirror was given to a few families in advance before the war, and some of them must have been lost. But so what, even if all of them are collected, how many and so many military horses can be shared." net
Cheng Jie
sneered, took out the mirror from his body, cocked his orchid fingers, and came to the mirror with a yellow appearance. Then a few more hundred households took out the mirror and smiled at each other.
Gu Baicao's face suddenly turned pale, and his lips trembled slightly. The childish water mirrors of the coalition army were only hurriedly distributed before the war, and the other party actually had so many mirrors, someone must have secretly sent them over.
If the people of the Ji family also have so many childish water mirrors, which are on par with the coalition forces, what is the use of the mist that has been so hard laid.
No, if the other party is equipped with a childish water mirror, why did he see that the southern army was killed so miserably. Then only the Northern Army is equipped in large quantities.
As soon as he thought of this, Gu Baicao didn't say a word, ignoring the arrows of the Northern Army behind him, and simply led people into the mist again. We must hurry up and report to our young master, hunt down those southern troops as soon as possible, and we can't delay any longer. Otherwise, when these mirrors are equipped with the Southern Army, and the two sides are equal, what is the use of the mist.
Seeing the other party leaving, Wu Gen didn't dare to chase after him, people regarded this mist as nothing, but he walked in it like walking on thin ice, how could he fight.
"The owner of the village, since the barrier-breaking pupil thief values it so much, I'm afraid it won't help if I wait for these 3,000 men and horses to go over, it's better to return to Catch Luling, rescue some more southern troops, and retain strength to fight again." Seeing that the pursuers had disappeared, Xue Xin rode in front of Wu Gan.
Unwillingly glancing at the giant eyes in the distance, Wu Yan nodded, "Let's go, go and bring back the armor of those ancient family soldiers, I can't say that I can find some way to break through the fog."
The group hurried back to the place where the pursuers had just been ambushed, and Xue Xin led people to take off the armor of the corpses on the ground. Fortunately, the people who had just cleaned up the battlefield actually caught more than a dozen wounded soldiers.
"Cheng Jie, go and ask how many people are as unaffected by the mist as they are." Wu Gan pointed at the prisoners who were escorted, and said with a fierce face, "Be quick, we don't have much time."
Cheng Jie rushed to the dozen or so captives without saying a word, and asked them again, but no one was willing to speak.
Soon a miserable scream sounded, and after a while, Cheng Jie ran over with blood on his hands, "The master of the village, recruited, can move freely without being affected by the fog, the Gu family only has three thousand people, and we have killed hundreds of them. These people are able to see through the fog because of the helmet on their heads."
"Can we use it ourselves?" Wu Gan's heart moved when he heard this.
"It's difficult, this helmet has ancient family runes on it, and these people don't know how to draw it, but it is made by the family rune master. The point is that the bloodstone on it is extremely rare, and it is unlikely that we will be able to get some more helmets out. Moreover, the war horse also needs to be trained for a long time to adapt to the puff fog. That's why the Gu family has worked so hard for so long to save so many people." Cheng Jie said everything he asked in one breath.
"Take it first, and then go back." I don't know what the situation of the southern army in the fog is, Wu Jian is anxious, and he is ready to enter the fog again.
Suddenly, there was a soft roar in the sky, and then a red dot fell from the sky and came straight towards Wu Gan.
The red dot quickly grew larger, dragging its long red tail like a meteorite in front of everyone.
The holly bird, Wu Gan was happy in his heart. The Righteous Eagle Army has been out fighting with the water from the moon these days, and the news has been isolated for a long time, and I am very happy to see you today.
Ha Ying jumped down from the bird, ran over in three steps and two steps, and said with a look of surprise, "Owner of the village, I can be regarded as finding you, what is going on with this fog."
"From the moon."
"The captain is still hundreds of miles away."
Wu Yan touched the holly bird that was leaning on his coquettishness, looked at the barrier-breaking pupil in the distance, hurriedly explained a few words to Ha Ying, and finally admonished: "Tell Congyue that the front army does not need to enter the fog, just maneuver outside. The military situation is urgent, you return quickly, and I will save the Southern Army."
Seeing Wu Gan's rare serious face, Ha Ying knew that the situation in the fog was already very tense, "The little one understands, and he will definitely give Captain Mingshui."
Wu Yan didn't have time to say more, and with a wave of his hand, he led people into the dense fog again.
As soon as he entered the mist, it became faint and obscure again, and looking at the situation in the mirror, the southern army was already much less, especially those who came out of Luling, which were almost invisible.
"Let's go, rush into the ridge at full speed, and find a way to bring back the scattered Southern troops. If you can avoid an enemy, you will avoid it, and if you can't avoid it, you will rush to it." Wu Gan's face became more and more solemn, and he pulled out the broken knife in his hand. The southern army outside the ridge could only give up, and it was fortunate to be able to save those who were still in the Catcher Ridge.
Three thousand people crossed the mountains and rushed all the way south. Along the way, they encountered two or three coalition forces one after another, and they all separated after a little contact.
These people were also scattered in the fog, after all, they had not been able to get the water mirror for a long time, and they were quite unaccustomed to fighting in the fog, and they would be separated if they were not careful. In addition, the mountain road is not familiar, so I walk cautiously, and I am also tied to the fight.
Wu Gan's heart finally let go, since the other party can't let go of his hands and feet, in this way, the southern army will have more chances of surviving.
Finally, Wu Gan encountered a scattered group of southern troops, who were huddled in a mountain col, all squatting on the ground, shielding themselves, and not daring to move.
Seeing the light appearing, these southern troops, regardless of whether the other party was an enemy or not, were full of tears, joy and sorrow.
Today is probably the longest day they have spent in their lives, they can't see, they can't hear, they are always worried about the arrows that fly from nowhere, like people drowning in the water, helpless and desperate.
Seeing these people emerging from the fog, they were like abandoned orphans, and they flocked to them, even if it was an enemy army, it was better to surrender than to die in this endless fog.
A person stood up from the ground tremblingly, his trembling hand moved forward slightly, and the long beard under his chin was stained with tears, "Is it Wu Zhenfu, I'm Zhao Gui, are we alive or dead now."
Wu Yan slapped away the other party's dirty hand, he was not in the mood to ridicule this Southern Army Qianhu who had contradicted him at the beginning, "Zhao Gui, take your men and horses, and follow me." Shut up and don't howl. If you dare to shed a tear, I'll leave you here." Seeing that the other party was wiping tears and wanted to cry, Wu Yan stopped the other party impatiently.
"Yes." Zhao Gui rubbed his triangular eyes vigorously, and hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to follow Wu Gan's side, not daring to leave a single step.
As soon as he counted, Zhao Gui actually brought out 2,000 people, and it was also thanks to his cleverness, when the fog rose, he felt that something was wrong, and asked his subordinates to quickly dismount and ambush. There is also the fact that he was stationed next to Wu Qian's camp, far away from Jishuitai, and he couldn't catch up, otherwise he would have become a ghost under the arrow at this time.
In this way, Wu Gen went all the way to the south, gathering the scattered southern soldiers all the way, and there were more and more people behind him, and the Zhishui Mirror was almost unable to cover so many people.
Finally, a few people rushed here, but it was Yang Zheng who brought people over to answer.
"Owner of the village, you go directly to the camp of the Southern Army and wait, and I and these brothers of the Southern Army will go to pick up the people trapped in the fog." Yang Zheng's face was dusty, and he wanted to come and go to a lot of places.
"Okay, be careful, are there many people coming back?" Wu Gen also breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang's face stiffened slightly, and he shook his head slightly.
