On the city, Song Liangcheng laughed: "Lin Shuai, you don't have to run, you can't run away, I, Song Liangcheng, have been under the holy edict of the Shang Emperor and commanded an army of 100,000 people to wait here for a long time, just to catch the wind and wash the dust for you!"

All around, drums beat loudly.

There are sporadic shaking torches everywhere in the fertile fields in the distance, Song Liangcheng is right, the strength of 100,000 people is definitely there, although most of them are infantry, but at this time, everyone in the gentian battalion has not closed their eyes for three days and three nights, and they have already reached the limit of physical fitness, and the war horses are no longer able to walk, and the appearance of these 100,000 enemy troops is like a nightmare.

With a neigh, the snow-stepping horse lost its front hooves and fell heavily into the dark snow.

Sikong Yao hurriedly stepped forward: "Brother Ayu, are you okay?"

"It's fine. ”

Lin Muyu stood up embarrassedly from the muddy snow and said, "Ah Yao, hurry up, order the three armies to retreat and join Liu Buyi's department!"

"Yes!"

"Treading the snow, treading the snow......"

Lin Muyu looked at the snow struggling desperately on the ground, she was already foaming at the mouth.

"Forget it, go where you need to go, don't get caught. ”

Lin Muyu helped her stand up, cut off the reins, patted the neck of the snow, her face was full of desolation, and said, "I didn't expect that it would be time for me to release Manan Mountain so soon...... It's all my fault, it's all my ......."

In the dark night, Sikong Yao brought a group of people, all of whom were iron horsemen of the Gentian Battalion, but all of them had already given up their horses, carrying a steel knife with a bright handle, and their faces were full of blood and exhaustion, Sikong Yao said: "Brother, retreat quickly, even if you become a foot soldier, we still have at least five thousand armor soldiers here, and we will protect you and rush out." ”

"Hmmm......"

Lin Muyu lifted the Xuanyuan Sword and said, "Rush out together...... By the way, where is the location of Xu Jiantao's department?"

"I don't know, the night is too dark, many people have dispersed, the Yushu just got, Wei Qiu and Xu Jiantao each led 5,000 people, cruising nearby, do you want to send a retreat signal?"

"Hmm!"

Sikong Yao's eyes swept away, and Feng Xi behind him immediately took out an iron pipe from his arms and pulled the lead into the air, this is a special signal flare made by the magic crystal, and a blood-red light rises into the sky, this kind of signal has never been used, but this time it must be used.

The sound of horses' hooves in the distance is getting closer and closer, and the light of the torches is getting closer and closer, and the black and oppressive merchant army in all directions has already killed it like a tide.

There is no need to even guess, these 100,000 merchant troops must have been calculated a long time ago, taking advantage of the opportunity of the end of the Gentian Battalion's strong crossbow to strike a desperate blow, this is to kill Lin Muyu and the others here!

"Let's go. ”

Lin Muyu held the long sword and commanded everyone to retreat, intentionally or unintentionally, his gaze swept over the faces of Sikong Yao and Fengxi, Sikong Yao is a Saint King Realm cultivator, but he has also been running around for three days and three nights in a row and the strength has been greatly lost, even Lin Muyu himself is the same, the fighting energy in his body has been consumed by nearly half, and those ordinary soldiers are even worse, even the hand holding the blade is trembling.

The sound of horses' hooves in the rear was getting closer and closer, but in front of them was a plain with a flat river, and there was nowhere to escape.

Lin Muyu couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in his chest, did the elite veterans of the Gentian Battalion, who had followed him for so many years, really want to be buried in his own hands?

Fengxi said loudly: "Lin Shuai, we can't leave, let's fight!?"

"No, 3,000 men in the front will go, and 2,000 people in the back will follow my palace to fight. ”

"Yes!"

But when the order was passed down, the torches in front of him were motionless, and several commanders flew over, kneeling on the ground with long swords, their eyes were red: "Lin Shuai, we have been following you for many years, born and died, and now when the catastrophe is approaching, don't you want us veterans? We don't leave, we would rather die here with Lin Shuai than leave!"

"Obey military orders!"

Lin Muyu shouted in a low voice: "Don't forget, you are soldiers, and it is your duty to obey orders! I order you to retreat west immediately and join Liu Buyi's infantry battalion!"

The commanders trembled, and one of them said with tears in his eyes: "Lin Shuai, why should we deceive ourselves, the latter who stays in the palace will die, the person who should leave is Lin Shuai, not us, the empire can do without us, but it can't do without Lin Shuai!"

Lin Muyu felt extremely uncomfortable, and said with red eyes: "The responsibility for today's defeat lies all with me, I am too light on the enemy, I am careless, since I have to stay, then prepare to fight, kill one is enough, if I give me one without killing, I will die in battle, and when I get to the ghost realm of the underworld, I will punish him to go to the Linghuo Division to take the blame." ”

The crowd burst out laughing.

Even Sikong Yao couldn't help laughing, but there was more bitterness in her smile, she knew that today might be her last battle. Although Lin Muyu is a cultivator of the Holy Heaven Realm, he must not be willing to give up his soldiers and flee alone, Lin Muyu may die of exhaustion, and he will definitely not abandon this brother, and he may also die here.

Thinking of this, Sikong Yao's eyes turned red, and tears couldn't help but flow down.

Lin Muyu slowly pulled out the Xuanyuan sword, the cloak was hunting in the cold night, he turned to look at the phalanx of iron cavalry and spearmen hundreds of meters away, and said lightly: "Don't forget the rules of our gentian battalion, lay out a Qiankun sword formation for me to resist the impact of iron cavalry and spearmen, be careful of the archers, they will arrive soon." ”

"Yes!"

Five thousand people quickly gathered on the plain, and the Qiankun Sword Formation composed of five hundred people quickly formed.

The sound of horses' hooves became more and more intense, and Song Liangcheng's subordinates looked like about five thousand iron horsemen, and one by one they raised their sabers from a distance, shouted something in their mouths, and rushed straight over.

"Take the impact!"

Lin Muyu was at the forefront of the sword array, and suddenly swept out the Xuanyuan Sword, and suddenly a golden sword light swept past the ground, and nearly a hundred iron horsemen quickly fell to the ground, and the people behind were already very fast, and they couldn't stop at all, so they rushed straight over.

There was a faint feeling of weakness in his arm, Lin Muyu took a deep breath, and began to use his martial spirit, the Qiyao Immortal Sword shrouded the Xuanyuan Sword, shooting out a sword qi about three meters long, so it was mainly a small-scale blow, otherwise the consumption of fighting qi would be too fast.

"Click......"

With three swords in a row, three cavalrymen fell from their horses, but the spear of the fourth cavalry hit Lin Muyu's chest straight up.

"Dang!"

Sparks splashed, the spear was shaken open by Chi Youjia, Lin Muyu turned around and swept it off the horse, and at the same time, countless iron cavalry rushed by, hitting the Qiankun sword formation in the rear, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the soldiers of the gentian battalion who formed the sword formation were already extremely weak, where could they withstand the impact of the iron cavalry battle array, and in a blink of an eye, one by one the sword formations were broken through, and the sword light was raging and dancing, completely becoming a melee.

"A-Yao, follow me. ”

Lin Muyu killed the enemy while retreating, and at the same time shouted loudly, he didn't want Sikong Yao to die before him.

Sikong Yao's sword danced the Ice Xuanjue, and one after another the ice spirit sword qi shot into the cavalry's body, and quickly returned to Lin Muyu's side, and said, "Brother, there are too many of them, we can't resist them." ”

"Since you can't escape, let's kill one more. ”

"Hmm!"

Lin Muyu suddenly opened his arms and shouted, "Chijing Dragon, come out to help me fight!"

"Roaring ......"

Long Wei made a great effort, the red crystal dragon broke through the air, opened its huge mouth to bite a sprinting cavalryman, and then swung its huge head to shake it off, and crawled down, making a respectful gesture towards Lin Muyu.

"Feel free to kill enemies!"

Lin Muyu didn't want to ride the Red Crystal Dragon, but just ordered it to kill the enemy quickly.

"Roar!"

This was what the Red Crystal Dragon wanted to hear the most, and he swung his huge body and rushed into the cavalry group.

At the same time, huge black shadows fell from the sky, swaying sword qi into the crowd, it was the dragon cavalry group commanded by Situ Sen and Situ Xue who arrived, but it seemed that there were not many of them, only a dozen people.

"My lord, here we are!"

Situ Sen said loudly, "How's it going now!?"

"Just in time!"

Lin Muyu said loudly: "Help fight and kill the enemy!Also, what happened to Wei ** Xu Jiantao's department?!"

"The five thousand people under the command of Wei Qiu were entangled by the other party's 20,000 foot shield soldiers, and his subordinates just came from Xu Jiantao, and there were only some swordsmen from the merchant army around him, and the number was about eight thousand, and he asked me to come to reinforce the lord first. ”

Lin Muyu frowned: "General Sen, you lead the three dragon knights to stay, General Xue, you lead the rest of the dragon knights to immediately rush to the defense of the enemy to help the defense of the enemy." ”

"Yes!"

"When will the team behind us arrive?"

"Their horses are already weak, and they won't arrive until about dawn. ”

“......”

Lin Muyu's heart seemed to have been hit hard, and his heart was so blocked that he was almost about to vomit blood, and while swinging his sword to kill the enemy, he said: "Fight and retreat, and slowly withdraw from the range of Red Rock City." ”

"Yes!"

......

In the southern jungle area, the torches are swaying, there are more and more merchant troops, but the Qin army has always been left with only a little bit of men and horses, in the crowd, the war horses have all fallen weakly, Xu Jiantao wore a commanding cloak, the three gold stars on the collar have been stained red with blood, and his saber has even been cut to the point that it has collapsed, looking at the people and horses that are constantly pouring in all directions, he muttered: "Why are there more and more of them?"

On the side, Zhang Han, the commander of ten thousand soldiers, said: "Junhou, this place is the south of Hongyan City, since the 100,000 people of the merchant army are ambushed here, presumably the ambush soldiers in the south are used to break off, at least there will be 350,000 people, they continue to attack the north, just to form a situation of encirclement, and the target is obviously Lin Shuai's department." ”

"Lin Shuai ......"

Xu Jiantao trembled slightly, and said: "Order, raise the flag of Lin Zishuai, and attract all of them over, we ...... We will stay here and block the ambush for Lin Shuai. ”

"But the prince!"

Zhang Han gritted his steel teeth and said, "If this is the case, we won't be able to leave." ”

"Who can walk away tonight?"

Xu Jiantao smiled faintly, lowered his head and wiped the blood on the blade with the back hem of his cloak, and said, "Immediately give an order to let the brothers raise the handsome flag, if ...... If we die here, Lin Shuai will definitely avenge us. ”

"Yes, Commander!"
