Chapter 38: Li Mu, You Don't Believe Your Word
In the extreme distance in front of them, a banner hunting, a Zhao army surged forward like a tidal wave, rushing towards them.
Lu Zonghui showed surprise: "I didn't expect Li Mu to be so punctual, I just came over to them." ”
Only a very small number of henchmen knew about his conspiracy with the 'Zhao Army Li Mu', and most of the generals in the Eastern Army were kept in the dark.
Zhao Jun's movement was very loud, and the familiar sound of armor grinding and mixed footsteps could be faintly heard in the shallow valley.
The generals of the Eastern Army, who were in the dark, ran over in a panic when they saw this.
"General, no, a large number of Zhao troops have been found ahead, as if they are coming straight for us."
Just come at us.
The previous agreement was to borrow from his neighborhood.
Lu Zonghui glanced at them, and said in a tone of hatred that iron is not steel: "Look at your uncompetitive appearance, it's just Zhao Jun, what's there to panic about?" ”
Between the words, there was an indifferent smile on his face: "Pass my order, and the whole army will enter a defensive state." ”
Even though he has a private agreement with Zhao Jun, he must not have the intention of harming others, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable.
He was not completely at ease with the other party, but he was still ready to make some countermeasures and actively defend himself to prevent Zhao Jun from thinking otherwise when he passed by him.
"Yes."
Lu Zonghui's order soon appeared and was issued, and the 150,000 Eastern Army responded and began to wear armor and shields.
The two sides are getting closer and closer, and they can already see each other's flags.
"Hahaha...... Zhao Guo and Li Mu led the troops really capable. Lu Zonghui made a big move, stretched out his hand and waved to the flag soldiers not far away.
The sergeant of the Eastern Army, who was carrying a black flag, began to shake the banner in a special rhythm from side to side, up and down, as Lu Zonghui explained.
This is the flag language agreed between Lu Zonghui and Ji Guofu, and it is the code word of the joint between the two sides, which means cooperation.
And Xue Guangdao and Zhong Qin, who led the Zhao army, saw this scene and immediately looked displeased.
In their eyes, Lu Zonghui's banner was a provocation, and only they, Li Mu's subordinates, knew it.
It means: "You bunch of leather swallows are all for." ”
Their faces suddenly turned ugly.
"Give me the bow." Xue Guangdao rode a black horse and shouted.
One of the soldiers approached and handed him an iron bow.
Xue Guangdao rode out on horseback, stretched out his long arms, and pulled this iron bow like a full moon.
The tip of his arrow pointed at the soldier waving the flag and shouting in front of him.
The metal surface of the arrow cluster diffuses a cold light, and under the hot sun, it is like frost in winter, stubbornly clinging to its surface.
Xue Guangdao squinted his eyes, and his fingers loosened.
"Whoosh!"
Arrows whizzed.
Like a meteor under the blue sky, it crossed a near-perfect arc and shot into the forehead of the standard-bearer with unmistakable accuracy, causing the latter to fall straight down.
The waving flag also fell.
Zhao Jun let out a burst of cheers.
Lu Zonghui, who was on the side, was a little shocked by the sudden change, and suddenly a little confused. said that they would cooperate with each other to deal with Wu Qi together, why did they suddenly do it to themselves?
Just when Lu Zonghui was at a loss.
The Zhao army on the opposite side began to beat the drums of war, and there were bursts of shouts.
"Put!"
Xue Guangdao, who led the army, gave an order.
In the sound of war drums, Zhao Jun fired thousands of arrows.
Arrows swarmed up on the ground like locusts, filling the sky, and when they reached the highest point, they poured down like a torrential rain towards where Lu Zonghui's troops were.
The whole process was very short, and there was not much time left for Lu Zonghui and the others to prepare.
In a hurry, the small half of the soldiers of the Eastern Army were shot and fell.
Some soldiers were unfortunate enough to have an arrow pass through their eye sockets and were killed instantly.
At this time, no matter how stupid Lu Zonghui was, he knew that the Zhao army in front of him was clearly coming at them.
"Deploy the formation, quickly set up the formation."
The 150,000 troops of the Eastern Army were originally preparing to set up camp, even if Lu Zonghui had just made some defensive moves, he could not quickly enter a state of war.
After a round of arrow rain, the 150,000 troops of the Eastern Army were even more in a hurry, completely messing up the formation.
Fortunately, with the best efforts of Lu Zonghui's subordinates, they did not fall into complete chaos.
This encounter has not yet fully begun, and the 150,000 Eastern Army is at a disadvantage.
Meanwhile.
On the other side of the shallow valley, it was unusually silent.
A Zhao army, about 10,000 people, marched forward in silence.
Suddenly, the spies on the front line shouted.
Zhong Qin, who led the Zhao army, immediately drew his sword and rose: "Kill!" ”
After he gave the command, a terrifying roar followed, as if the whole valley was trembling.
Lu Zonghui was trying his best to stabilize the army when he saw movement behind the army.
He turned around and looked up behind him, only to see that a huge black pressure had come to him.
It was a formidable and murderous enemy army, and they were rushing towards the rear of their army.
It was like a sharp spear plunging straight into their hearts.
The Eastern Army, which had just been maintained, completely lost control when this large army rushed in.
The generals don't know the soldiers, the soldiers don't know the generals, and it's a complete mess.
Lu Zonghui's face suddenly turned the color of pork liver.
Looking at Zhao Jun, who was constantly rushing over, his eyes widened and he roared angrily: "Li Mu, you don't believe in your words!! ”
"The generals will listen to the order, and kill with me."
Lu Zonghui directly pulled out the long knife hanging from his waist and led the army to rush towards the Zhao army who was the first to contact.
Even if the 150,000 Eastern Army was in chaos and out of control, the large number of people could still drown the Zhao army that rushed out.
After paying nearly 7,000 casualties, only half of the nearly 10,000-strong Zhao army was still stubbornly resisting.
Just when Lu Zonghui thought that he could completely take down this Zhao army, another Zhao army of more than 100,000 people had already rushed into the shallow valley.
"Kill!"
The entire shallow valley immediately resounded with an earth-shattering battle howl.
Countless warriors fought together, and the sound of broken branches and broken stones on the hillside never stopped.
Zhao Jun Xue Guangdao only felt that his blood was boiling, and a powerful force kept surging into his heart.
He did not hesitate to rush into the chaos and rushed straight to Lu Zonghui.
Lu Zonghui, who was fighting, seemed to have a sense and hurriedly turned around.
The two of them stared at each other, holding sharp blades in their hands, and the true qi around them was like smoke.
"Where is your general, Li Mu? Why are you so untrustworthy?! Lu Zonghui asked loudly.
As the general of the Zhao army, Xue Guangdao's expression was stunned, and he didn't know the meaning of Lu Zonghui's words at all.
Lu Zonghui took in Xue Guangdao's expression, and a pig's liver-colored face was even dripping blood.
"I'm going to kill you! You little people who don't believe in your word. ”
As soon as the words fell, Lu Zonghui was on the horse's back a little, and rushed straight to Xue Guangdao.
A melodious roar sounded, swords collided, and sparks flew everywhere.
Both of them are innate nine-rank cultivators, and they are only one step away from reaching the martial arts realm.
The moment they took over, they both showed a little surprise.
A moment later, they exerted their strength at the same time, and the swords exploded at the same time, and the afterimages scattered.
The surrounding vicinity, whether it was the Zhao army or the Wei Eastern army, were seriously injured.
Some of the unfortunate were swept by the stump and broken in two, and blood and internal organs flowed all over the ground.
The place where the two fought was cleared out of the open space, and no one dared to approach.
In an instant, the true qi of the two people who lost their blades condensed, and they fought with their fists.
The fist wind broke through the air, leaving afterimages in the air, and the speed was too fast to capture.
Each punch contained a huge amount of energy, compressing the surrounding air to the point of exploding.
Their figures instantly staggered, fists to the flesh.
Every collision brings a fierce impact.
In an instant, the rocks on the ground were shattered, and the surrounding trees were destroyed in an instant.
Lu Zonghui urged the martial arts exercises, constantly absorbing true qi from his physical body, and a powerful energy quickly poured into his body.
Then his body was a little shorter, as if he was under unimaginable pressure.
Xue Guangdao on the other side had a serious expression, and he was also mobilizing more powerful forces.
Suddenly, the two of them slammed into the shot, and their fists struck out like electricity.
The momentum was surging, and the huge energy spread to the surrounding battlefield, instantly destroying all the wreckage to pieces.
During the collision of true qi, the two of them took a few steps back at the same time, and their bodies trembled slightly.
They stopped, staring at each other.
Xue Guangdao knew that if he continued, it would be beyond his ability to bear it, and this Lu Zonghui in front of him was not so hasty, he couldn't take it for a while.
Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate and shouted, "Two elders, what are you waiting for? Don't want to make a quick move? ”
The elders of the Haoran Sect, Li Zixu and Yu Du, who were on the edge of the battlefield, no longer hesitated and made a decisive move.
Li Zixu was holding a long sword, while Yu Du came empty-handed, but the true qi emitted from his body made the atmosphere on the field suddenly tense.
He's a martial arts master!
Yu Du rushed towards Lu Zonghui violently, the speed was dazzling, and he directly slapped his palm.
Lu Zonghui dodged sideways and stabbed Yu Du with a backhand.
Yu Du dodged sideways, and suddenly retreated, making Lu Zonghui's move miss.
Then in Lu Zonghui's surprised gaze, a bright moon appeared behind Yu Du, and he shone head-on at Lu Zonghui.
Martial Courage Realm!
Lu Zonghui's face was shocked.
The bright moon reflected the cold moonlight and fell on Lu Zonghui's body, and in an instant, he was like falling into an ice cellar, losing his ability to move, and watched as Haoran Sect Elder Yu Du's fist fell on his chest.
"Poof!"
A dull sound sounded, and Lu Zonghui flew out with his armor upside down, and the whole person spun around and slammed into the big tree.
The internal organs of his whole body seemed to be displaced, making his throat sweet, and then he vomited a large mouthful of dirty blood.
Taking advantage of the short gap, he found that the other sword-wielding martial artist who rushed in was also a martial arts realm, and he saw that his cultivation was even higher than the one in front of him.
Knocking his subordinates under the horse one by one, he is no match for him at all.
Lu Zonghui immediately knew that he was gone.
It's all because he was gullible that he fell for his tricks.
At the critical moment, Lu Zonghui gritted his teeth, took out a dilapidated and dirty wooden doll from his arms, and squirted a mouthful of dirty blood at it, running his true qi.
The true qi of Lu Zonghui's whole body was sucked dry by the wooden puppet, and most of the qi and blood on his body were also taken away, and the originally burly strong man was thin at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Haoran Sect Elder Yu Du saw that it was not right, and suddenly rushed out.
At this moment, the messy wooden puppet swelled sharply, and a god-shaking technique turned into Lu Zonghui's appearance.
The puppet Lu Zonghui's true qi surged, and a gust of air flowed around him, forming a violent wind.
Lu Zonghui's body method, which was transformed from a puppet, suddenly became faster, and he continued to smash down towards Yu Du.
Yu Du found that his law was ineffective against him, so he had to fight hard with martial arts.
With the change of punches and kicks, the court turned into a bloody storm in an instant, and the two kept moving in lightning-fast moves.
After fighting for a long time, Yu Du found that the wooden doll in front of him was unexpectedly unable to take him for a while.
Lu Zonghui saw that the time had come, and decisively stopped.
As if he had received an order, the 'Lu Sohui', which was transformed into a wooden puppet, rushed back and became one with the real Lu Sohui.
Lu Zonghui's momentum soared, and in the chaos of the army, like a fish swimming in water, he quickly swam to the edge of the battlefield, drove a fast horse, and fled for his life.
Yu Du wanted to pursue, but was stopped by Li Zixu on the side: "Poor Kou Mo chase, our target is the 150,000 army, not him Lu Zonghui alone, his escape is beneficial to us." ”
Yu Du was unwilling, but in the end, he listened to Li Zixu's advice and gave up the pursuit of Lu Zonghui and threw himself into the fight against the Eastern Army.
Originally, the Eastern Army was unstable when they were attacked by them.
Now that most of the generals have fallen, the main generals have fled, and the rest of the people have no intention of fighting at all, and they have all become headless flies and break through everywhere.
The whole battle was one-sided.
A large number of soldiers of the Eastern Army were slaughtered.
Until the afternoon, the Eastern Army was completely defeated, and the 150,000-strong army was wiped out.
The Zhao army won a great victory by means of surprise attacks.
Xue Guangdao, the general of the Zhao army, and Zhong Qin wiped the blood from their faces, greedily breathing the smell of blood and gunsmoke in the air, enjoying the sense of victory in the war.
In this battle, their Zhao army annihilated 150,000 Wei troops with 100,000 troops, and even though they lost 40,000 troops, it could be regarded as avenging the previous battle of Jinyin and completing the task assigned by Li Mu.
It's a big deal.
Xue Guangdao and Zhong Qin didn't dare to hold it up, so they took the initiative to walk in front of the elders of Haoran Sect, Li Zixu and Yu Du, and said with their fists clenched: "Thank you two elders for your help, otherwise we wouldn't have won so easily." ”
"Hurry up and clean up the battlefield, let's go back early, so that there will be no accident on the east side of the river."
……
In the middle of the mountains and forests, there is a fast horse galloping inside, and the speed is extremely fast.
"Drive!"
Lu Zonghui, who was sitting on horseback, was pale and bloodless.
He slapped his palm on the horse's buttocks, leaving a bloody mark.
The fierce horse was in pain, and his legs ran wildly.
I don't know how long he fled, but after Lu Zonghui was sure that there were no pursuers behind him, he suddenly felt relieved, fell off the fierce horse, and rolled a few times before stopping his figure.
Lu Zonghui straightened up with great difficulty and coughed violently.
With a coughing motion, the dirty puppet fell from him.
The moment the puppet fell, his mental state suddenly became sluggish, his body became rickety, and a lot of pale colors appeared in his black hair.
"This life-urging puppet is really powerful, and it took out more than half of my life in one fell swoop." Lu Zonghui showed a vicious expression: "Today's defeat, the problem is all Li Mu's words and untrusted, this villain, I must get rid of it quickly." ”
Da-da-da-da!
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves appeared in front of him, which made him instantly alert.
As soon as Lu Zonghui looked up, he found that it was a team of Wei troops coming.
It's Wei Wushu!
He was suddenly relieved, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and couldn't wait to shout: "Lu Zonghui, the general of the Eastern Army, is here, come and help!" (End of chapter)
