Sherori hunched into the tunnel, the vines and trees that feasted on the flesh and blood of the living supported the soft earth and rocks above to prevent them from collapsing. But the faint tremor above the head still made everyone in the tunnel worry.

"The daily training in the Huaxu state-run village continues." Wutengzhai Dawu was covered with sweat, and said in a low voice: "Fortunately, these people train every day, and they are also expanding the camp in a big way, making a lot of noise, just to cover us to dig tunnels." ”

Meng Qu snorted, obviously disliking the environment where the authentic aura was stagnant, so he asked, "Isn't that Zhenming Marquis Zhao Huang about to die?" Why is it that the army can still train day and night, and there is no morale shaking? ”

"I just asked Miao Suoluo, and she said that Zhao Huang sat on a chair this morning to inspect the camp." Sherro said: "It can be seen that he is just desperately supporting, in order to protect the morale of the army, he is just forced to conduct training." This will also exhaust the soldiers and make them powerless to make trouble. ”

The Great Witch of Wuteng Village asked: "Now that the fossil vine has grown under the enemy's camp, when will it break through the ground?" ”

"There are monks among the enemy army, and if we move too much, I'm afraid we will also attract their attention." Sheroo said, "I have asked Fei Zorsheng to leave the city in the afternoon and march to the southeast to break through.

On the surface, it was a breakthrough, but in fact, the elite of the enemy army was transferred out of the camp. When the time comes, we rush out of the ground and set fire to it. If Zhao Xiao is in the camp, he will be killed on the spot. If he ventures out of the camp, then we will raid from the rear. ”

Meng Qu let out an ugly laugh: "I'm afraid that Fei Zuosheng will not desperately break through the siege, and he will not be able to lure away the elite of the enemy army and the monks." ”

"I arranged for Miao Suluo to be with Fei Zuosheng, and she promised to release the Golden-winged Dragon Moth, even if Zhao Huang was negligent for a while, she would definitely send an elite to intercept it afterwards." Sheroo said.

"Golden-winged dragon moth?" The Wuteng Village Witch was taken aback: "The legendary insect that flapped its wings and swept the wind and could erode flesh and blood? Miao Sara is actually willing to release this insect against the enemy? ”

Sherro Xiao nodded: "I promised to allocate the territory of the Flying Ape Twelve Villages to Baihua Valley after the war. ”

Meng Qu said angrily: "The Flying Ape Twelve Villages are used by the high priest to contain the Hundred Flowers Valley, how can you casually take it as a promise?" ”

"I made a promise, but whether I can fulfill it or not, isn't it a matter of the high priest's words?" Sherro Xiao didn't look at it, and continued: "What's more, Miao Suluo is facing the elite under Zhao Xiao's command, and it is difficult to say whether he can survive. Her Gu skills are not bad, but her ability to fight head-on is not powerful. ”

"What about Fei Zozor?" The Great Witch of Wutengzhai asked, "He is the general arranged by Lord Wuzhen." ”

"When other countries surrender generals, they can't be trusted after all." Sherro's verdict was as follows: "Just let him die on the land of Huaxu is also a little respect for his past merits." ”

……

"Zhao Changshi, Tan Malai report, Jiuli barbarians want to break through from the southeast!"

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhao Xiao held a scroll in his hand, Lieutenant Zhang hurriedly came to make a report, and then a group of captains, military officials, and monks came together.

"Sure enough, it came." Zhao Xiao put down the scroll, looked around at everyone and said, "You will act according to the previous arrangement. ”

The soldiers took the order to go, Zhao Huang put on a wide-sleeved green shirt, hung a black and yellow ribbon around his waist, left the big tent and boarded a car base, and under the escort of hundreds of personal soldiers, slowly marched towards the southeast of Dantu County.

The army moved away, kicking up billowing smoke and dust. A moment later, the ground in the camp suddenly sank, and before the remaining soldiers in the camp could notice, hundreds of elite soldiers quickly poured out of the tunnel.

Shera Xiao took the lead, and the left and right soldiers each threw the fire-causing objects, and the Wu Zhu in the rear cast a spell, and immediately set fire to many camp tents.

However, there were no screams and exclamations to be heard, and there was no rush to escape, only a series of rapid drumming sounds, which sounded around the camp at the same time.

"Not good!"

Sherro's heart was pounding, and he immediately sensed that the killing was coming, and before he could signal his soldiers, countless arrows broke through the air and screamed, like a torrential rain, pouring down from all directions.

Just by taking a look, hundreds of soldiers of the Jiuli Kingdom fell and were shot like hedgehogs.

There are only a few masters such as Shera Xiao and Meng Qu, who rely on their strong muscles and bones and are difficult to be injured by iron, covering their comrades in the rain of arrows, but they are also scratched by the runic arrows that are mixed in between, leaving Taoist wounds.

"Zhao Xiao, you dare to calculate against me?!" Sherroxiao roared sharply, and the boar's skin wrapped around her back swelled.

But as soon as he cast a spell to transform, the canvas was lifted on the grain ship anchored on the shore, and three ballistas were erected on the ship, aiming at the white boar, and the crossbow arrows that had been tempered by multiple blessings and spells shot out of the string, like three white rays, and nailed straight into the boar's back.

Immediately after, a burst of magic weapon light rushed to attack. Among them, the purple flying silk is like a purple glow falling from the sky, containing the power of opening the mountain and breaking the stream, and it is pumped on the top of the wild boar's head with a heavy blow.

"Oh no! The tunnel has been blown down! ”

The Wuteng Village Witch, who hurriedly ran out of the tunnel, was about to inform the rear of the changes, but when he raised his eyes, there was a miserable scene - countless arrows and nails were inserted into the ground, hundreds of elite soldiers fell to the ground, and a few people were still struggling and convulsing, wailing in a low voice, and the blood stained the ground red and overflowed the ankles, as if they had come to a red thorn bush.

Sherori was beaten back into human form, kneeling on the ground, his head falling to his feet, and the celestial spirit cover was sunken in; Meng Qu was full of arrows, holding the ground with a single knife, one of the arms did not know where to go, and the wolf-headed monsters on the back of the sky under his command were also in different deaths, some tried to rush out, but were nailed to death by crossbow arrows in the middle of the way.

At this time, the great witch of Wuteng Village heard a piano sound in mid-air, and the tunnels behind him collapsed, and there were more than 100 people in it who had not yet come out.

"I ......" Wuteng Village Witch was about to open his mouth to beg for mercy, and arrows, spells, and magic weapons came one after another around him, and he couldn't resist it, and was blown to pieces on the spot.

Ding Muqiu floated down with purple silk in his hand, looked at the corpses all over the ground, and frowned slightly: "Just because you still want to dig tunnels and raid my military camp?" ”

At this time, Lieutenant Zhang hurried over and said in a loud voice: "Zhao Changshi has an order, please go and outflank the rear of the enemy, and don't let him retreat to Dantu County." ”

More than a dozen monks hiding in various parts of the camp appeared one after another, and Ding Muqiu responded heartily: "Please rest assured Zhao Changshi, the enemy will never have a chance to escape!" ”

……

Standing on the fortress and looking into the distance, the soldiers and horses of Jiuli Kingdom were in a hurry to break through, and the formation was already scattered, and Captain Chen led a group of light cavalry to attack from the flank, dividing the enemy formation.

On the other side, Ding Muqiu led a number of pavilion monks who descended from the sky, throwing talismans and throwing fire, sacrificing treasures and flying light, killing the enemy on the ground with blurred flesh and blood.

The soldiers who had just laid an ambush in the camp were also drawn in, forming a north-south encirclement, gradually squeezing the soldiers and horses of the Jiuli Kingdom.

"I'm glad you reminded me." Zhao Xiao knew that the outcome had been decided, and secretly said to Ling Xiao: "Previously, Miao Suluo came to the camp to report the news, but you said that the Jiuli Kingdom would not attack the camp only through the tunnel. When you see it today, you really expected the enemy's movements. ”

"The tunnel is narrow, even if the Jiuli Kingdom is dug with the help of magic, there will not be too many soldiers who can accommodate the passage. They will inevitably arrange a breakout and draw away most of your forces. Ling Xiao said: "Miao Suluo only knows one thing, but doesn't know the other, even if she doesn't come to report the news, with Lu Wangji's cultivation, and when the tunnel is a little closer, she will be aware of it." ”

"And you let me do what I wanted, expand the camp, train the soldiers, and make all kinds of noises and noises on the ground, so that the enemy army thought that I could dig tunnels under the barracks." Zhao Xiao said: "Those who can participate in the tunnel raid must be the elite of the enemy, as long as they are ambushed and encircled, it is a major hidden danger." ”

Zhao Xiao watched the momentum of the enemy army in the distance gradually stop, and his heart relaxed a little: "I'm glad that they took the initiative to rush out, if it is really a siege, I don't know how many people will die." ”

"Surprise attack the hinterland of the enemy country, occupy the city, and it is difficult to hold on for a long time." Ling Xiao said.

Zhao Xiao shook his head: "I may be grateful to that county lieutenant, he came in time to report the fall of the city, so that I can lead my troops as soon as possible and trap the enemy army in Dantu County." ”

The battle outside the city ended quickly, and now the number of enemy troops who broke through the city was far less than the number of troops under Zhao Xiao's command, not to mention that the masters such as Sherro Xiao were killed one after another under the siege on all sides, and the enemy troops who broke through the city lacked strong reinforcements and were doomed to a crushing defeat.

"Zhao Changshi, we have captured the commander of the enemy army!" Lieutenant Zhang's face was covered with blood and sweat, and there were several cut marks on the armor on his body.

"Oh? Aren't you dead? Zhao Xiao sat behind the barricade and lightly dusted the hem of his clothes: "Bring him here." ”

After a short time, two soldiers came with Fei Zuosheng, who was covered in blood and his hair was disheveled, and he fell to his knees with wounds on his cheeks and arms, embarrassed.

"Your name is Fei Zosheng?" Zhao Xiao sighed: "Good name, I heard that you were a subordinate general under the command of the Qingming Duke back then?" ”

Fei Zuosheng spat out bloody phlegm, glanced at Zhao Xiao, and said, "Could it be that Marquis Zhenming wants to ask for the blame for the events of the year?" ”

"I want to ask sin, why bother with the old things?" Zhao Huang said: "During the rebellion of the Three Princes of Huaxu Kingdom, I was just a child. It's just that I didn't expect that it would be too much for you to take refuge in the Jiuli Kingdom, and you would have to attack the Huaxu Kingdom in turn. Are you here to avenge the Qingming Communiqué? ”

Fei Zuosheng laughed a few times: "In the first few years of taking refuge in the Jiuli Kingdom, there may still be thoughts of revenge. Right now? Heh, it doesn't matter for a long time. ”

"In that case, why did you bring troops to attack?" Zhao Xiao frowned and said: "The tyrannical behavior of the Jiuli barbarians in Dantu County, you must also see it in your eyes, why bother to act for the tiger?" ”

"Marquis Zhenming, it's your first time leading troops, right?" Fei Zuosheng saw through it at a glance, Zhao Xiao acquiesced without saying a word, and the other party continued: "Do you think that a general like me, who switched to other countries, can return to the farm and live a peaceful life?"

I don't want to participate in the attack on Huaxu, people will immediately treat me as a spy and sacrifice flag! Since I have chosen the road under the fence, I have to show my own ability to fight and fight! Even so, I will inevitably be humiliated by others.

You monks are pampered, you don't have to do anything to be in a high position, and you are supported by the imperial court, where have you experienced the suffering of our people? If you want to make me regret and confess my sins by relying on my three-inch tongue, then I advise Zhen Minghou not to waste energy. ”

Zhao Xiao was silent for a long time, Fei Zuosheng knelt up straight, and said, "If Marquis Zhenming still has a little mercy, please kill me quickly!" I don't want to be taken to Dongshengdu and die of humiliation. ”

"I'll leave you with a whole corpse." Zhao Huang closed his eyes and waved his hand: "Take it down and hang it." Don't let him mix with the Jiuli soldiers and find another empty place to bury. ”

Fei Zuosheng looked at death as if he was home, tidied up his hair a little, and was about to leave, when Zhao Xiao opened his mouth to call and said one more word: "Yang ...... Although Qingming Gong was defeated, he fought until the end. ”

Fei Zozan looked slightly surprised, but then returned to normal, and then let the soldiers take him away.

At this time, several captains and monks also came, Ding Muqiu looked at Fei Zuosheng's back, and snorted coldly: "It's cheaper for him." ”

Captain Chen arched his hand and asked, "Zhao Changshi, we have captured more than 200 soldiers of the Jiuli Kingdom, what should we do?" ”

"All decapitated." Zhao Xiao said neatly: "Immediately send troops into Dantu County to search for any remaining troops of the Jiuli Kingdom." In addition, it is forbidden to rob the people, and those who violate military law are allowed to do it, and their subordinate commanders must also sit together. ”

"Order!"

Zhao Xiao turned to Ding Muqiu and said, "If there is still a Jiuli Wuzhu in the city, I will bother Ding Daoyou to lead someone to exterminate it." The remnants of the enemy army are afraid of fighting the trapped beasts, and Ding Daoyou must not go alone. ”

"Understood, I'll go now!" Ding Muqiu did not hesitate to stop, and went with a few monks.

Zhao Xiao looked at the other captains and officers: "The T-shaped battalion will go back and re-guard the camp, and those Wuzhu corpses will be collected first, don't bury them for the time being, I have another use." Later I will go into the city to pacify the people, and the scribes will draft proclamations on my behalf and post them in the city. ”

Everyone was ordered to go, and Zhao Huang was fine for a while, so He Dangguan took his own soldiers to avoid in the distance.

"That Gu Master is peeking around." Lu Wangji said.

Zhao Huang contemplated and breathed for a while, and then he barely used the Ying Xuan Zhaojing technique, and felt a slight stinging pain in his eyes, but he still found where Miao Suluo was.

"How? Are you satisfied with this result? Zhao Xiao slowly approached under the escort of Lu Wangji, and said to the empty place.

A burst of butterfly wings flew away, revealing the figure of Miao Suluo, and she smiled: "You are really welcome, you don't have a chance to escape, let me escape back to Jiuli Country alone." ”

"How do you explain to the big people of Jiuli Kingdom, that's your business." Zhao Xiao took his hand and said: "Since you choose to betray your comrades, you can't complain that there will be such a result." ”

Myosara did not participate in the surprise attack of the tunnel, but assisted Fei Zuosheng to break out of the city. But as soon as she left the city, she disappeared and watched most of the soldiers and horses of the Jiuli Kingdom be destroyed.

"It's been twenty years, and Zhao Xiaolangjun has really grown up." Myosara stretched and asked, "How's it going?" Do you want to be presumptuous and go to the Valley of Flowers with your sister? My sister guarantees that you live a comfortable life, which is better than selling your life in Huaxu Country. ”

"The teachings of Fei Zzo are vivid, so why should I repeat them?" Zhao Xiao refused.

"Then when you die in the future, don't blame my sister for not warning me in advance." Miao Suo Luo said: "The demon king is born, the snake god descends to earth, no matter which one of them must require a lot of blood food, and for a cultivator like you, qi, blood, flesh and blood are the best sacrifices." And Dantu County was destroyed in one battle and the three elites were destroyed, and your life is probably worth more than Wei Xiuwen. ”

"In that case, I can't go to the Valley of Hundred Flowers with you." Zhao Xiao smiled faintly: "Why do you bother to provoke me as a disaster?" ”

"Zhao Xiaolangjun's kindness, I remember it clearly." Miao Suo Luo approached him, gently pecked Zhao Huang on the face, and then waved his hand: "Let's go, I still have my life in the future, let's come to Baihua Valley to have a look." ”

Looking at the direction of Miao Suoluo's departure, Zhao Xiao touched his cheek a little embarrassed, speechless.
