Chapter Twenty-Seven: Escaping the Cage
CHAPTER XXVII
Tang Qing was sitting in the carriage at this time, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was very tired. He hadn't slept for several days, and although the battle of Tianning City had been won, it hadn't yet broken out of the encirclement, and Tang Qing's tense nerves couldn't be relaxed for a moment. Now he commanded the army to advance in the direction of the northern savage steppe, and he had known a long time ago that after the frontal battlefield in front, the northward movement behind was the most difficult part of this breakthrough. The army had walked for a day, and finally reached a place less than fifteen miles from Zhentianguan in the evening, and the two armies could already see each other from a distance.
"Pass the order, camp on the spot, repair the whole army, and start breaking through tomorrow" Tang Qing rubbed his temples, picked up the map in front of him and continued to study.
On the other side, Ouyang Tianci was also actively preparing, the bows and arrows in the warehouse were all brought out, and the blades of the swords were also sharpened. The hooves of the horses have also been checked, the parts of the stone thrower have also been checked during the day, and the transmission devices have been lubricated with butter to ensure that there will be no failure in the battle tomorrow, and the entire camp is busy preparing.
The next day, the blood-red sun had just risen over the horizon, the summer humidity had not yet receded, and the grass on the ground was full of dew. The thunderous sound of horses' hooves sounded over the land, and the barbarian army began to attack. A large number of stone throwers threw stones the size of millstones, whistling with the wind towards the barbarian army running ahead. Countless arrows followed. The vanguard of the barbarian army fell down one by one like wheat in a wheat field. The pace of the barbarian army did not stop a step because of these deaths, the direction they ran towards was their homeland, and they just wanted to go home. As long as they can get past the front line, they will be able to go home and be reunited with their loved ones.
The two armies were like a column of chariots running rapidly, and at this time they finally collided together, and the sound of countless weapons hitting together was said from the battlefield. Any intrigue is so much too weak in a head-on confrontation. Only to cut down the enemy has become everyone's wish on the battlefield. Only then can we win.
The battle lasted for a day, and countless people on both sides fell forever without getting up. In the evening, the horns of the troops on both sides sounded one after another, and the soldiers receded like a tide. All that remained was corpses all over the ground, and sporadic flames burning. Vultures hovered in the air, and occasionally a wolf or two came to check. Tonight they can have another delicious meal.
The barbarian army did not succeed in breaking through the encirclement. Zhentianguan is still in the hands of Ouyang Tianci of the Great Zhou. Tang Qing's face was very bad, and he smashed a lot of things. If you can't break through within two days, after the troops of Da Zhou and Da Yin converge, the barbarian army may have to stay in Zhentianguan forever.
That night, the Great Heavenly Master of the Barbarian Dynasty came to Tang Qing's big tent, didn't speak, pointed to the two people behind him, and then walked out of the big tent.
On the second day, the weather was fine, there was no wind, and the barbarian army finished breakfast early. Wait for the order of the king of Beiyuan to attack.
The order to attack did not wait, and two strange men appeared, wearing white wolf head masks, walked to the front of the army, set up a magic circle, and began to sit cross-legged on the ground and chant incantations. Suddenly, two large crossbow arrows shot at the two of them, and the Peachwood Sword Fairy drove the flying sword to accurately fly the attack of the two crossbow arrows. When the crossbow bolts flew, the two men did not move, and continued to chant the incantation, as if the crossbow arrows had never come.
Immediately after that, the two soldiers jumped from the barbarian army with long swords in their hands and stabbed at the two people on the ground, the peach wood sword fairy turned the peach wood sword and put down the sudden attack of the two, the two soldiers were already very close, and the close ones could see the beads of sweat on the foreheads of the two people on the ground. At the moment when the Peachwood Sword Fairy blocked the attack, between the lightning and flint, one of the soldiers shot a cold arrow with one hand, the cold arrow was hidden in the sleeve, and the fire was very sudden, and one of the wolf-faced people was hit by the cold arrow in the neck, and black blood flowed out of the wound. A few minutes later, the two assassins were killed by the Peachwood Sword Fairy. It wasn't long before the other wolf-faced man lost his breath in the neck. When everyone thought that this sacrifice had failed, there was a change in the barbarian army. Among the troops, more than 2,000 black-faced wolves are riding in height, and their size is increasing rapidly. Their mounts are also growing in size.
The horn of the Beiyuan King's attack sounded.
The black-faced wolf rode out first, followed by the army behind. rushed towards Zhentianguan. The black-faced wolf rode like an arrow into the defensive formation of the Great Zhou, and the defensive formation was immediately shattered by the impact, and the army of the Great Zhou was shattered by the impact of this black torrent for a while, and the failure of Ouyang Tianci's defense was a foregone conclusion. He just wanted to kill as many of the main forces of the barbarian army as possible to avenge his brother.
When the barbarian army escaped from Zhentianguan, the barbarian army was less than 400,000 left. Everyone has blood stains on their bodies, it may be the enemy's, it may also be the comrade's, and it is more likely their own, but the battle is too fierce and there is no effort to stop and hurt.
Looking at the cattle and sheep in the savage grassland in the distance, these barbaric men knew that they had survived. Thinking about the parents and children waiting for them at home, their hearts warmed up, and they felt that they were only now alive.
Tang Qing's cloak looked very haggard, the victory was prominent, and the big stone in his heart fell to the ground. He looked back at the dilapidated Zhentian Pass in the distance, and said confidently,
"I'll be back, and by then, I'll have you under my feet. ”
