Chapter 599: A Battle to the Death
No one expected that the White Night Kingdom would put so much effort into catching Princess Alia this time.
The previous more than 100 people were already the upper limit of the number of people Shao Xi could estimate, and he never expected that there would be a team of 100 people anyway.
The group that caught up from the rear of the caravan was obviously more numerous, which meant that the previous group had also joined in.
The size of the hundreds of men may seem inconspicuous on the battlefield between the two countries, but the pressure on the caravan at this time is no different from that of thousands of troops.
At this time, only Shao Xi and Wu Qiu'er were left in the entire caravan with the strength to fight, plus a few guards who were still capable of fighting, and the others had already been injured after the previous battle, and it was impossible to experience a battle like that again.
But is it just waiting to be killed?
The cavalry of the Wuhai Kingdom in the distance could only stand there from a distance and watch this side, but they could not enter the territory of the White Night Country to rescue the caravan, otherwise it would be equivalent to giving the White Night Country an excuse to start a war.
What's more, the cavalry team at this time didn't know that their princess was in the caravan, and at this time, at most, they watched the excitement from a distance, and they didn't mean to help.
Therefore, at this moment, the caravan can only rely on itself to get rid of the pursuit in front of it, and it is not until after meeting with that cavalry that Alia reveals her identity that the cavalry will protect the caravan.
But what now? It seemed like a close distance, but it was too late to get there anyway.
At this time, there is no strategy or strategy, and the only way is to keep people down to block the attack and fight for this last chance for the caravan to evacuate.
As long as the caravan and the cavalry of the Wuhai Kingdom will be united, then the current crisis will be resolved, but it will be difficult for those who stay behind to get out.
Even if Shao Xi is a seventh-grade "Qi Realm", in the face of a siege of this scale, at most it can cause serious casualties to the other party, and to say that he can destroy the other party with the power of one person, even Shao Xi himself thinks it is a joke.
Although this world was magical enough in Shao Xi's previous cognition, it had definitely not reached the point where a single move could be sacrificed and swept away thousands of troops.
When he first crossed over, he asked Lao Wu that he had cultivated to the ninth grade, and even when Xiao Baiting had cultivated to the supreme "Returning to the Yuan Realm", it was impossible to destroy the other party on the battlefield of millions of soldiers and horses.
Martial arts cultivators are human beings after all, and human abilities have limits after all.
Maybe the cultivation of martial arts to a certain extent can be one person against a dozen people, or even dozens of people, but with one enemy and a hundred, it can only be a legend.
On the battlefield, you may be able to kill a hundred enemies, but you can't do it alone.
People like Fu Biao have been fighting on the battlefield for so many years, and the lives on their hands have already exceeded 100, but that is at the cost of their comrades' blood and lives.
With Shao Xi's current martial arts realm, if the other party was only twenty or thirty people, he would not hesitate to take Wu Qiu'er to kill the other party, and he was absolutely confident that with the strength of the two of them, he could firmly contain those twenty or thirty people.
But the current situation is that the other party has one hundred and twenty or thirty people, how can this be fought?
Even if he has the blessing of the Ying Xue Sword in his hand, he can only stop one of these three teams with his great Snow Chasing Frost Sword Technique, but the rest of him is really powerless?
Those who stayed to resist the other side must have the consciousness of death, but after these several battles, the caravan's guards have suffered heavy casualties.
And they were originally just guards, but now if they were to fight with him, Shao Xi really felt that he didn't have the qualifications.
Everyone's life should be their own, and these people should no longer be affected.
What's more, there is a certain death situation in front of him, and he has no power to let anyone take their lives for his own decision.
But now there is no other way, at the moment of this crisis, Shao Xi turned his head to Lao Wu and shouted: "I will stay with Wuqiu'er to resist, you quickly take the caravan and Aliya to meet the cavalry team in front, and you can go one by one!" ”
Lao Wu was anxious when he heard it, and the young master of his own family was going to fight hard with others? What kind of work is this?
The princess belongs to someone else's family, but the young master belongs to his own family, and it is okay to help others with the young master, but if it is for the princess of someone else's family to let his own young master take his life, Lao Wu will not agree to this matter no matter what.
So Lao Wu explained to Sun Lichang, and then followed Shao Xi towards the rear of the caravan.
Shao Xi turned his head and saw Lao Wu chasing after him, and scolded angrily: "Old thing, are you farting when I speak?" I told you to take the princess to the front to meet the cavalry, why did you follow? Hurry up and get back to the master! ”
Lao Wu didn't even glance at Shao Xi, his two yellow eyes stared at the three teams of people who were about to rush in front of him.
"Old man, I'm old, I'm not dead yet, and it's not your turn yet, a little rabbit! You said that you would give me a pension and send me to the end of my life, I don't want to give you this little rabbit cub like an ancestor before I die, and I will burn incense three times a day. ”
Shao Xi listened to Lao Wu's words, and suddenly there was a black line again, when is this, this old guy is still calculating this? It's as if he took advantage of him by dying first.
Just when he couldn't cry or laugh, Wuqiuer on the side actually spoke up.
"And me, and me, don't forget that there is still me!"
Shao Xi and Lao Wu were so angry with him that they almost fell off the camel directly, and said that this cargo has no long heart, what is the excitement at this time?
said to Wu Qiu'er in unison: "Get out of the way, what's the matter with you?" ”
"Oh!"
Wu Qiu'er was obedient and immediately shut up and didn't speak.
was originally a dangerous scene, but it was made quite nonsensical by the dialogue between the three of them, and it deserves to be a veritable teasing trio.
Just when these three guys were talking nonsense seriously, they saw two more people chasing after them.
Shao Xi looked back and saw that it was Sun Poyun and Fu Biao, who were seriously injured in the previous battle.
Shao Xi originally didn't plan to take the two of them with him, because the two of them had bought time for everyone under huge pressure in the previous battle, and they were already covered in bruises and unable to fight again.
If you take the two of them with you at this time, it is likely that there will be no return for the two of them.
Shao Xi originally planned to let them evacuate with the caravan, but although the two of them were seriously injured, their minds were still clear.
They also saw that if no one stood up to stop the enemy in the current crisis, it was likely that the entire caravan would be wiped out, so they forced themselves to follow.
Shao Xi saw that these two guys were following up, and he immediately became anxious.
"What are you doing here? Hurry back and leave here with the caravan, I don't have time to take care of you! ”
"The head of the family, you underestimate the villain too much, I was also a lieutenant back then, and there are more than two hundred brothers under my hands, there is no need for the head of the family to take care of it, the head of the family takes care of himself."
After saying this, Fu Biao directly ran to the team on the left to meet him.
Shao Xi saw that he was in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted, "Wuqiu'er!" ”
At this time, Wu Qiu'er was also clever, and immediately replied, "Wu Qiu'er knows." ”
After speaking, he followed behind Fu Biao and walked towards the horse team on the left.
"I have been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, and I have never broken the trust in the business I have taken over, and this time it is the same! Senior Wu is right, if his daughter-in-law doesn't do her best, does she have to rely on others? ”
After Sun Poyun finished speaking, he also pulled the reins and walked towards the centaur on the right.
Shao Xi was so anxious that he cursed.
"Grandma's legs! All of them are so uneasy, Lao Wu! ”
"Okay, okay, stop screaming, I know!"
Lao Wu responded impatiently and chased after Sun Poyun.
The current scene looks quite weird, five people facing more than a hundred people, two on the left and two on the right.
Shao Xi faced the largest group of people coming from the front alone, no matter how you looked at it, it looked a bit like he was going to die.
This scene even looks a little tragic.
Shao Xi scolded in his heart at this time, could it be that I was raised by my stepmother? Forget about keeping me alone, and leave the one with the largest number to me, you really can afford me! Thank you!
The five of them rushed forward with more than 100 men and horses on the other side, just to protect the caravan and let the caravan evacuate in time.
Sun Lichang was not an indecisive person, and seeing that things had come to such a point, he had no time to hesitate anymore, and commanded the caravan to rush towards the cavalry in the distance.
He knew in his heart that the sooner they joined the cavalry, the sooner Shao Xi and the others would be able to break through and get out, and once the time dragged on for a long time, he was afraid that the life and death of the five of them would be unpredictable.
So Sun Lichang was urging the caravan's guards and porters like crazy, even if he was desperate, he had to rush to the front first.
The five people who rushed in three different directions all started with a big move, that is, the most powerful and widest range of martial arts they had cultivated.
There is only one purpose in doing this, to curb the momentum of many people on the other side.
When the person in front falls, the person behind will trip over the person behind, and the horse in the rear will trample the person in front of him to death and cripple, which is the most effective tactic against the horse team.
So as soon as the two sides came into contact, several people invariably adopted this tactic.
Hearing only a neighing of horses, the horse teams in the three directions were not only slowed down in their forward rush, but even a large number of men and horses fell, and the horses rushing up behind did not have time to stop, and they were all tripped.
A widespread stampede inevitably took place, and it was not until the men at the back of the group reined in the horses that there were no further casualties, and the teams were thrown into chaos for a moment.
Seeing a large number of people falling from their horses in front of them, the horse team in the rear began to separate to the left and right, bypassing the others and continuing to pursue.
And those who had fallen had already fled in all directions because of the fright of their horses, and these people had no choice but to rush forward on two legs, and the situation was basically the same in all three directions.
At this time, their target was still Sun Poyun, who was dressed as Arria, and until now they had not found out that this person who was covered in injuries and had excellent combat power was not the princess they were looking for.
They decided that the previous information was wrong, and the princess of Wuhai Kingdom must have secretly cultivated martial arts without being known, and she must have been instructed by a famous teacher, otherwise it would be impossible to have such combat power as she is now.
At this time, Shao Xi found out that Sun Poyun did not hesitate to rush back to block the enemy at the cost of being seriously injured, and he planned to use himself as bait to attract all the people on the other side here, so as to buy more time for Alia.
This is clearly not intended to go back alive.
Shao Xi was a little anxious at this time, he understood what this meant, which meant that these people who were chasing after him would focus the siege on Sun Poyun's side.
As for himself and Fu Biao and Wu Qiu'er, the other party still only adopted the method of siege to obstruct their support for Sun Poyun.
In this way, Sun Poyun and Lao Wu's side will become very dangerous.
Seeing that those who came out from behind and were still on horses were planning to rush in the direction of Sun Poyun, Shao Xi did not hesitate to spend his vitality and jumped up in the air to "open up" directly.
The sea of rapid luck urged the vitality, ran the Frost Clearing Technique to the greatest extent, and directly threw a large range of sword qi towards those centaurs who were running towards Sun Breaking the Clouds.
From the sword to the move, there is no pause in between, all in one go.
This time, Shao Xi did not spare the consumption of vitality at all, and did not consider the consumption of vitality at all, but this move froze a large area of the other party's galloping people.
But if you freeze it, you can freeze it, this freezing time is not long, he has to make these people lose the opportunity to besiege Sun Poyun in this very short time, it is too troublesome to kill them one by one.
Shao Xi quickly urged the flying snow trick on the Yingxue Sword again, and directly made a goose feather snow on the heads of this group of frozen people.
Those snowflakes that seemed to be fluttering and falling slowly, each piece was like a sharp blade, and everywhere they passed, more than 20 people died under Shao Xi's Yingxue sword in just one breath.
It seems like a good kill, but it also comes at a great cost.
There is a limit to the consumption of human vitality, and this limit is how much vitality is contained in the sea of qi.
Different martial arts and different moves have different consumption of vitality, such as Shao Xi's large-scale and high-kill technique in the Snow Chasing Frost Sword Technique, which also consumes a huge amount of vitality in the sea of qi.
If it can be used indefinitely, wouldn't Shao Xi be invincible in the world a long time ago?
When a true martial arts master fights, the distribution and control of his own vitality is very accurate, and there will never be too much waste.
Because of the duel between masters, the final victory or defeat often depends on the degree of enrichment of the qi sea by the mental methods cultivated by both sides.
When the sea of qi is exhausted, it will naturally be defeated.
This is why there are many martial artists who obviously seem to be of a very high rank, but they will resort to melee combat when it is not necessary, instead of flying with sword qi and swords at every turn.
Problems that can be solved with the weapons in their hands will never be wasted, especially in group battles, more people will use less vitality to flash between opponents, looking for a killing opportunity.
And it will never be easy to use a group killing move that consumes a lot of vitality, because this will not last a long time, and no matter what the situation, it will be the last resort to leave yourself with your life.
At this moment, Shao Xi was forced to do this, Sun Poyun was already seriously injured, and Lao Wu could only help from the side.
If these people are allowed to join forces and concentrate on Sun Poyun and Lao Wu, I am afraid it will be too late to save them at that time.
