Chapter 435 - Back from the Dead
The cold wind was fierce, and the sound of fighting still sounded in Qi Shao's ears, but he didn't look back, not that he didn't dare, but he couldn't bear it, he regretted it, and hated that he had obviously learned so much from Xiao Junshi, but when he was blinded by the merits, everything was left behind, and this was the defeat of the valley.
After walking in the valley for a short time, he only heard the sound of shouting and killing outside the valley gradually subsided, and the man's tears finally couldn't be suppressed, slipping from the corners of Qi Shao's eyes, slashing across his cheeks, and dripping on the ground in the valley.
Not long after the sound of shouting and killing subsided, he heard the sound of people boiling behind him, Qi Shao hurriedly wiped away his tears, lowered his body, and listened attentively.
"Counselor, we're... What are you looking for?"
"Qi Yun Vanguard has been completely wiped out by our army, but we have never found the corpse of Qi Shao, if you are Qi Shao, how will you deal with this death?"
"I don't know the last general, but I can be sure of one thing, if I am the prince of King Qiyun, if the first battle between these two armies is defeated, not only the morale of the Qi Yun soldiers who are going south, but also the King of Qi Yun who is now in Zhongzhou to disperse the Xiongnu, and Qi Lin who is going north to fight with Jin, will also be frustrated!"
"That's it, in my opinion, that Qi Shaoding also thought of this, think about it, Qi Yunjun has been trapped in the valley for a long time, and waiting for Zhou Min to lead the army to come to the aid at this time is the right solution, and the Qi Yunjun who was trapped in the valley took the initiative to attack, it seems to be sending him to death, but in fact..."
"Actually, they're attracting our army for Qi Shao's escape!"
Yang Jinzhi smiled, patted his side and turned his shoulder and said, "What you think is right, this is why we only saw that Yuntian armor, but we couldn't find Qi Shao's corpse, pass the order, and transfer another battalion of soldiers to come up, and search the valley with me!"
"Order!" When the general saluted, and when he turned around to go, he heard the horses' hooves outside the valley shaking the sky, as if thousands of troops and horses were rushing to the valley.
"Report ——!" The scout under the valley climbed quickly.
Yang Jin's heart was a little confused, and without waiting for the scout to speak, he hurriedly asked, "Is it Zhou Min's army coming?"
"No... No, Counselor Yang, it's General Tang who leads the army!" The scout hurriedly spoke.
Hearing that it was Tang Zaixing who had reported that the army had led the Chinese army to arrive, Yang Jinzhi was relieved, his eyes moved slightly, and he ordered the scout to speak.
"You go to the general to report, just say that I will lead the army to search for Qi Shao, think about it for a long time, then Zhou Min will personally lead the army here, I know that Qi Shao is not dead, but Zhou Min doesn't know, you go to report to the general, find a corpse at random, put on Qi Shao's Yuntian armor, let Zhou Min think that Qi Shao is dead, in this way, Qi Yunjun will definitely be in turmoil, and then our army will take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, then the battle can be decided!"
When the scout heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately led the order to find a way to go to Tang Zaixing's camp to report to him.
"Okay, ten people will make a trip, and each of them will disperse, even if you will dig out this valley three feet, you will also dig out Qi Shao for me!" Yang Jinzhi retracted his gaze and immediately gave an order to the surrounding sergeants.
All this fell into the ears of Qi Shao, who was hiding and hiding, hearing this plan, Qi Shao's heart was already at a loss, this person saw the march very accurately, and the strategy was also poisonous, it seems that the Southern Tang Dynasty has made up his mind to attack with the Northern Jin Dynasty and the North and the South...
Listening to what this strategist said, General Zhou had already led an army to help him, and Qi Shao secretly said in his heart: "Not good, what this counselor said is good, if General Zhou sees my armor, the army will definitely be in turmoil, and then our army will be defeated... If this battle is lost, Luzhou will not be guaranteed, and the door of Zhongzhou will be opened... No, we have to try to escape from this valley before we can settle down on the army."
Settle down, Qi Shao has no time to go north for the martyred Tianyunwei, quietly got up, and wanted to find a way to escape from the valley, unexpectedly, the moment he got up, the scabbard in his hand touched the clumps of dead branches, the sky was cold, and the dead branches were already fragile.
Although it was night, looking at each other, Yang Jinzhi smiled coldly, and when he raised his hand to signal the soldiers around him, he had already said loudly to the figure in the distance: "Yang Jinzhi, counselor of the Tang Army, has seen His Royal Highness the Prince of Qiyun."
Seeing that the other party was so arrogant, Qi Shao couldn't wait to draw his sword and step forward, and finish off this person with one move, but reason finally defeated impulse, Qi Shao knew that his life was saved by thousands of Tianyun Wei with his life, and he must not die here in vain, thinking in his mind, Qi Shao's body had already rushed towards the top of the valley.
Now that Qi Shao's traces have been discovered, Yang Jin's heart is anxious
Slowly, when the raised hand fell, the Tang Army soldiers behind him had already chased after the rushing figure.
Qi Shao panicked and didn't choose the road, and at this time, he didn't care about the rugged mountain road in the valley or the thorns and dead branches, and while swinging his sword to cut the dead branches blocking the road, he looked back at the chasing soldiers behind him.
Since the Tang army learned where this Qi Yun prince was, they all wanted to make great contributions, and the Tang soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield in the valley had all joined the pursuit.
Looking at the Tang army behind him, Qi Shao was exhausted, raised his eyes and looked around, and saw that the Tang army torches were all over the valley, like stars in the night sky, countless, in despair, he muttered to himself: "Could it be that today is really the time when Qi Shao died? Is it true that God does not bless Qi Yun?"
After speaking, he wanted to kill himself with a horizontal sword, just because Qi Shao knew that if he died, if he was captured alive by the Tang army, he would only be used to restrain General Zhou, it was better to die, maybe Qi Yun soldiers could fight back because of their own death and turn the tide of the war.
I felt the sharp blade cut through the skin, and the sharp pain came from it, and the hot blood gushed out, instantly staining the clothes and spilling into the valley.
Yang Jinzhi, who followed the Tang sergeant to catch up, had seen this scene from afar, although Qi Shao's life or death did not matter, but the capture of the prince of Qi Yun alive was a great merit, who would not want to write more ink and color in the merit book.
"Stop him!"
Yang Jinzhi's words came out for a moment, but the thick fog in the valley rose instantly, although there will be a little mist in the valley on weekdays and nights, but tonight's fog is full of weirdness, not only in a breath will cover the entire valley, even if you face to face can not see the figure, and the torches in the hands of thousands of Tang soldiers are even more with the clouds and mist for a moment, all extinguished.
Never seen such an abnormality, Yang Jinzhi was shocked, and hurriedly opened his mouth to call, and the generals on his side heard it and responded one after another, but the voice was obviously on his side, no matter how Yang Jinzhi stretched out his hand to probe, he couldn't find Tang Jun's figure.
The Tang army in the dense fog was the same, they were all frightened by the thick fog, and they didn't know what kind of strange thing it was, so they had to draw their knives and be on guard.
When a Tang sergeant probed with a knife, the blade seemed to touch tenacity, and he hurriedly asked, "But I'm Tang Jun!"
Strange to say, when Yang Jinzhi opened his mouth before, he could still hear the sound from the dense fog, and in a short moment, even the sound could not penetrate the clouds.
Under the nervous spirit, the Tang sergeant had long forgotten that the Tang army was in the valley, and in order to protect himself, he raised his knife and slashed, and the other party seemed to feel the blade breaking through the air.
In the valley, there was a silent chaos.
Outside the valley, Tang Zaixing, who led the army to come, had rushed to the scouts from the valley to learn that Yang Jinzhi had defeated Qi Shao, and was now searching for Qi Shao's whereabouts in the valley.
Looking back and seeing the clouds and mist rising in an instant, covering the entire valley, Tang Zaixing stopped the idea of dividing troops into the valley to support Yang Jinzhi, the most important thing at the moment is to take this opportunity to defeat Qi Yun's main force in one fell swoop, so that Zhongzhou can be determined.
Thinking of this, Tang Zaixing pulled the set of Yuntian armor symbolizing Qi Yun from the scout's hand, held it high above the top, and shouted loudly to the Tang soldiers behind him.
"Sons, it is said in the world that he Qi Yuan is the reincarnation of the God of War, but now, his son was beheaded by my Tang Army, and Yun Tian Armor is in Tang's hands at the moment... Zhou Min Pifu has already led the army, let's go all out and easily behead this famous general of Qi Yun under the horse, how about it?"
"Kill! Kill!" When the Tang army heard that Qi Yuan's son was dead, the set of Yuntian armor was in the hands of the general, and for a while, the morale was great, and they raised their weapons and shouted, and the military power instantly climbed to the peak.
Seeing that the morale of the Tang army had risen, Tang Zaixing smiled coldly, threw the Yuntian armor in his hand high, leaned over to take the horse's belly short spear, used enough internal force, and slanted upward...
Tang Zaixing, who was already a master of the Tang Sect, the power of this spear actually caused bursts of thunder in the night sky, and even the bright moon in the sky also took advantage of the situation to hide in the clouds, and the Yuntian armor that was thrown into the air had already passed by in the cold for a moment, turned into powder, and dissipated in the winter night with the cold wind.
Seeing that his own general was so brave, the Tang soldiers raised their swords one after another, and the shouts resounded through the sky.
The corners of Tang Zaixing's lips hooked up a smile, he didn't look back, he moved the horse's belly, used enough internal force to speak, and the sonic boom poured into the valley.
"Sons, let's go meet this famous general Zhou Min!"
The horse's hooves trampled on the ground, and the sound of killing broke through thousands of miles.
The Tang Army, with its supreme military might, has always been killed...
——
Qi Shao slowly opened his eyes, only to feel dizzy, and when he slowly got up, he remembered that he had drawn his sword and killed himself, and suddenly returned to his senses, and his eyes suddenly burst out of vigilance, only to feel that the long sword in his hand was still there, and he immediately turned over and got up, with the horizontal sword in his chest, concentrating on vigilance.
His eyes kept scanning the surrounding scene, and he didn't notice any danger approaching, Qi Shao eased his mood a little, raised his hand to his neck, and the strange thing was that he had obviously cut his neck with a long sword, and he also saw the blood that he spurted out, and there was no wound on his neck at this time.
"What the hell is going on, is it a nightmare?" Frightened, Qi Shao muttered to himself, and then his eyes shifted slightly, until he saw that his clothes were full of blood, and he believed that what he had experienced was not a dream.
Remembering that he was still under siege by the Tang Army, Qi Shao hurriedly gathered his mind and raised his eyes to look around, but what came into view was pitch black.
The unknown is often the most frightening, that is, Qi Shao, who is not afraid of death, is also secretly beating a drum in his heart at this moment, although he can't figure out why he is still or, but with the hope of life, no one wants to die, Qi Shao slowly moved his steps, trying to move forward slowly by feeling, trying to find a way out in the dark.
As the hours passed, Qi Shao could no longer remember how long he had been walking in the dark, but under the fatigue, he could no longer hold his sword on guard, so he could only walk forward with his sword on the ground.
Xu is eyes are already accustomed to the dark, Qi Shao can gradually see where he is, it should be a cave in the valley, but he only remembers that before killing himself, he saw the clouds and mist in the valley suddenly rise, and the clouds and mist that could not see his fingers were like darkness engulfing himself and the Tang army all over the mountain.
And then... I felt like I was in a dark chaos... After that, Qi Shao couldn't remember it anymore.
Just as he was thinking hard, he suddenly saw a little light in front of him, which made Qi Shao's eyes that had been in the dark for a long time unbearable, and he hurriedly raised his hand to cover it, until his eyes could adapt to the light a little, and Fang Jian walked slowly along the light.
As he gradually entered the light, Qi Shao only felt that the light around him was red, and he felt like stepping into a sea of blood, even the surrounding air was also full of the smell of blood.
There was no way back behind him, so he could only grit his teeth and move forward, and after a hundred steps, he suddenly felt a domineering and fierce aura attacking, and hurriedly raised the long sword in his hand, trying to protect his body, but heard a deep voice.
"Boy, the old man saved your life, aren't you grateful, and you still want to take revenge?"
