Chapter 271: Breaking the Courage
A dozen horsemen immediately stabbed into the darkness.
By the time they rushed to Li Bochen's side, he had already killed two people on horseback, covered in blood, with only a pair of eyes and white teeth shining. Some of the smaller monsters jumped past him, slashed by the welcoming pro-soldiers, and some of them missed out, rushing to the front of the rear phalanx, but after a while, they didn't let them pass alive.
At this time, there were dozens of corpses in the valley, and there were two armored beasts in the back who were about to rush over, but seeing the appearance of Li Bochen's crazy demon, there was a flash of lightning in front of him, and a valley seemed to be daylight, so he actually stopped his steps.
Only then did Li Bochen pull the reins and raise his finger, shouting: "Brute, do you dare to go forward!?"
Demon beasts such as Hun armor and hyena are also somewhat sane in the end. Seeing that he, the god of killing, led the army to block the way, and the path in the valley only allowed two armours to go side by side, he roared in place for a while. After a while, many wolf-like hyenas suddenly jumped onto the ridges on both sides, and they didn't know whether they wanted to scatter and flee or outflank them.
Li Bochen turned his face to look behind him, and saw that there was still a little glimmer of light outside the entrance of the secret realm, and he knew that the villagers had not all walked in. Then he lifted his lance, rode his horse forward five or six paces, and shouted, "Beast, come here!"
He was referring to the armor in front of him.
That thing can also understand human speech a little. If it were a human, it should have been frightened at such a time, but after all, it is a demon beast, although it is rational, but it is more beastly nature that has the upper hand. As soon as he saw Li Bochen moving forward, he immediately roared and rushed over. When it rushed fifteen or sixteen steps, those behind it were also summoned, and rolled on again. At this time, the hyenas on the ridge also roared towards the moon, and the dumplings seemed to pounce down from mid-air.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Fang Qi hurriedly ordered his own soldiers to urge the horses to protect Li Bochen's side, and the swords and guns came out to pick up the spurts that fell. But their horses are ordinary horses, and the white horse under Li Bochen's seat has also developed a temperament with him, and it is not something they can catch up.
After they killed more than a dozen demon beasts, they saw Li Bochen riding his horse and passing by the armor first. In a flash of lightning, the armored beast rushed forward six or seven steps, and a pillar of blood more than a foot high jumped up on its left neck, and blood splashed out like a torrential rain.
Li Bochen flicked his horse's head and galloped back and jumped down, and at this time, Fang Qi and the others rushed closer. But Li Bochen shouted: "Disperse!"
After that, he reached out and grabbed the hard armor on the cheek of the armored beast, and let out a loud shout, turned his waist, and violently slammed the monster that was many times bigger than him!
The mountain-like black shadow was thrown into the air by him, blood still gushing, and his mouth was still howling. Li Bochen flew up again, and kicked his legs on it: "Go!!"
The armor slammed into the herd behind it with a thud, knocking the other one to the ground and sweeping the smaller ones to the ground. The beasts roared loudly, but this time they were not roaring out of anger, but they were really timid.
Li Bochen landed steadily and stood in the valley. He didn't speak again this time, but with a sweep of his gaze, the demon beasts stepped back like a human rout.
Demon beasts will be afraid to retreat, and he has seen this before. But the beasts had just stepped back a little, but somehow they became agitated again, and stopped and roared.
Li Bochen's face turned pale, and he closed his eyes slightly with a lance, and opened them suddenly. With a slash on the ground, a fist-sized stone was picked up and shot towards the ridge on the side with a buzz.
The next moment I heard a cry of pain, and a figure rolled down the ridge, but when it was halfway down, it was stopped by a tree halfway up the mountain, and after a while there was no movement.
Everyone saw him, and Fang Qi shouted: "Who!?"
Li Bochen had already raised his hand, and a thunderbolt struck the mountainside, reflecting the man's figure for a moment.
It is indeed a person, wearing the armor of the Sui army, and the helmet is decorated with a thin white tassel, which is the standard of a hundred generals.
Li Bochen shouted: "Qiu Fang, is it you!?"
No one answered him. He drank again: "I'm Li Bochen!"
After a moment's pause, the man said, "Li ...... You...... Commander!?"
Fang Yan was stunned: "Junhou, do you recognize him?"
Li Bochen sneered and said loudly: "Naturally, I recognize it." ”
He said again: "Qiu Fang, are you using the forbearance grass?"
After a while, the beasts in the distance slowly stopped being restless, and Qiu Fang said, "...... Be. ”
Li Bochen snorted: "Good job." We used to use the forbearance grass to lure the demon beast into an ambush, but now you want to lure the demon beast to harm people? Back in the Sifang Fort, did I save you by mistake!?"
After a while, Qiu Fang said, "Commander...... I'm on military orders, I'm ...... Also for the brothers of the rushing battalion, we are in the mountains, we are ...... We've got to find somewhere to go......"
"Now are you worthy of running to the camp!?" Li Bochen shouted angrily, "If you are still a person, you can march the military law yourself at this time!"
But Qiu Fang didn't speak again. Fang Yi said: "I'll catch him!"
Li Bochen raised his hand and looked at the valley in front of him. The demon beast no longer roared restlessly, and after a dozen breaths, first the smaller hyenas scattered, and then a dozen armored beasts slowly disappeared into the darkness.
He sighed softly and said, "No need. He's gone. ”
The dozen or so cavalrymen were on guard in the valley for a while, and when they were sure that this demon beast had really retreated into the mountain, Li Bochen turned his horse's head and went back. When they arrived at the front of the formation, they saw that the ten generals restrained the formation well, and there were more than a dozen corpses in front of the formation. Li Bochen said: "What about the casualties?"
A ten-year general reported: "Yu Junhou, only five people were injured!"
He spoke in a smug tone, without the slightest fear. Look at the soldiers again, all with their heads held high, looking into the depths of the valley.
After this battle, they should not be afraid. Li Bochen laughed twice and shouted, "Are the demon beasts as scary as they thought before?"
The general immediately said, "No!"
Li Bochen smiled: "Okay! Just don't be afraid!"
After saying this, he glanced at Fang Qi. Fang Yu knew his mind best, so he said: "Junhou, if you didn't have the courage to kill the demon beast in front of you, I'm afraid we wouldn't be so easy." ”
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Zhao Bo on the side also suddenly said: "It's also because of the location." If it weren't for the prince and the marquis, but the demon beasts outflanked on the flat ground, I'm afraid that we would also be very bad. ”
Zhao Bo usually doesn't like to talk, but it's rare to open his mouth at this time. Li Bochen smiled in his heart, thinking that he was really convinced of himself. What these two men said, he wanted to let the armies know. As the commander-in-chief, he should not have gone into the enemy formation alone like he had just done, but the situation was urgent before, and he had to use the momentum of thunder to strengthen the army's heart.
Although he has repelled the demon beast so far, he also feels weak, and his hand holding the lance trembles slightly. Demon beasts are naturally powerful, even if they are in the dragon and tiger realm, they are almost at the limit.
In fact, those are still "skirmishers". If you have a second-order or even third-order demon beast to control, the situation will be different.
Li Bochen took a deep breath and looked into the distance again—finally some villagers had also retreated into the secret realm, and there were still some people shouting on the meadow in the distance, they should have come later.
And the direction of the camping ...... The fire has slowly lit up at the head of the wall, and it is Sui Wuyi's people who have opened the south gate and are entering the camp. Li Bochen said: "It's best if you can understand this. Although it is not a vicious battle today, after tonight, you are already the first batch of strong soldiers in Li Di to fight against demon beasts. ”
"Your wives and children are safe tonight because you are here. Now, as I said, back and go to the family!"
There was a cheer.
Li Bochen rode his horse and walked behind, and then turned his face to look at the mountains. His side has retreated from the enemy, and the Linxi Army should slowly gain the advantage.
The Linxi army failed to get Mengjiatun, and Sui Wuyi failed to get Houcheng, and he was forced to retreat into the secret realm, and the wishful thinking of the three parties failed.
But at this time, Li Bochen smelled the bloody breath on his body, but he felt very stable in his heart. He remembered when he was in Wujing Mountain Pass and hesitated to save Ye Yinghong. The hesitation and temptation in advance always bothered him the most. But things have reached the point where there is no turning around, but it can make him put all kinds of hesitation behind him and make a decisive decision on the spot.
It was these decisions that made him settle down - after all, it was just a choice between war and surrender, life and death, and the eldest husband was standing in the world, isn't it right?
