Chapter 274: I'll give you a cauldron
Fifty miles away from the city of eternal life, the terrain rose sharply, and a continuous mountain suddenly towered up, straight into the sky, or maybe it was smashed into the earth from the sky by the heavenly immortals.
The mountains are like a barrier to protect the wind and rain, caring for the warmth and quietness of the Immortal City, and like a huge stone monument, reminding all those who come from the south that ahead is the supreme place of power in the Northern Abyss, the core of the wealth of the grassland, and the Immortal City.
From the mountains to the south, there is the extremely wide grassland, the Blue Wolf Plain.
Among the nearly 200,000 troops left, they are mainly from the five families, all of whom are the top nobles of the grassland, such as the remaining 50,000 soldiers and horses of the six kings, such as the remaining 40,000 soldiers and horses of Ma Qi.
They are unfortunate, they mobilize the people, work on expeditions, not to mention the loss of troops, and have almost no looting gains.
Originally, Wu Ti promised to distribute the harvest of the Xianbei Iron Cavalry according to his exploits, but as they abandoned Wu Ti at the Yanyang Pass, no one naturally expected this promise anymore.
But they can also be said to be lucky, compared to the few tribes that were wiped out by the Blizzard Wolf Cavalry, compared to the half of the cowardly Xue Wei and the soldiers and horses directly under the royal family who were almost wiped out, they at least retained most of their strength.
More importantly, there is an incomparably wide power vacuum waiting for them to seize it.
Therefore, the closer they got to Immortal City, the more excited they became.
The Northern Expeditionary Army, which was chasing after in the territory of the Southern Dynasties, was stopped by Wu Ti at the Yinyang Pass, and since there was no longer any worries, it was only a matter of looking at the immediate benefits.
The speed of the huge team increased suddenly, and they walked towards the wide official road that had been carved out by the northern abyss with countless manpower and material resources in the mountains.
Originally, after these people arrived in the Blue Wolf Plain, some people proposed to act separately, but they were clearly stopped by Geleng's father, that is, the old prince of the six princes.
There are two reasons for the block:
First, His Majesty is dead, and others do not know that His Majesty is dead;
Second, the interests in the Immortal City, if they go their own way, the outcome is difficult to say, it is better to act in a group, and if there is any problem, we will discuss it with a few people, so that outsiders can always be stopped outside.
None of them are stupid, they can be seen through a little.
Under the convincing of everyone, they still led a part of their private soldiers to form a Chinese army, and continued to escort His Majesty Luan forward.
A big nobleman rode on a horse, looked at the steep mountain, and said to his allies on the left and right: "You say, there will be no ambush in this mountain, right?"
The other person smiled nonchalantly and said, "Ambush a fart, who in Beiyuan today has the courage to ambush Your Majesty." ”
Immediately, there was a echo voice, "Besides, where are the soldiers and horses? Helian Qingshan came to serve us at this moment when he was full? Or is it that Wu Ti who has his head caught in the door and is riding with Xianbei Tie?"
Ma Qi secretly said in his heart that this is not impossible, but it is a pity that the popularity of the army is too strong, and the qi is disordered, and if the cultivators are in it, they will not be able to detect the outside world, and everyone does not dare to let the cultivators leave easily, so they can only rely on the scouts.
As he thought so, the horse's speed involuntarily slowed down.
But the rest of the crowd laughed and urged them to step forward.
Just when the Chinese army entered the mountain and slowly walked halfway, suddenly there seemed to be a sound of rolling thunder, and everyone hurriedly looked up to see that on the slopes on both sides, there were countless boulders carrying the rumbling momentum, rolling down, and the speed was getting faster and faster!
Oops! There is an ambush!
Everyone hurriedly pulled the horse's head, rushed forward, retreated, and dodged left and right, and the well-organized team quickly made a mess.
A boulder rolled down, crushing a non-dodging sergeant and his horse into meat sauce and castration, and then running over the crowd, leaving a terrible trail of flesh and blood until it hit another stone.
Countless boulders are countless tragic events, the scene is instantly blurred with flesh and blood, and the entire team is cut into two pieces.
Ma Qi and the others couldn't care so much, and rushed forward desperately
, under the cover of the private soldiers, finally rushed over with the huge luan, and will be at the end of the previous paragraph.
They couldn't help but look back at the mountain of boulders with trepidation.
Damn, this trip, I was scared like this twice, they are all old arms and legs, how much can I afford to be scared?
Everyone hurriedly beckoned the former army that had passed to retreat and formed a formation.
As soon as the shouting started, "Bang Bang Bang", the sound of a bowstring broke through the wind.
Behind the boulder was an overwhelming array of feathered arrows, which once again reaped many lives.
"Formation, formation!"
"Raise your shield!"
"Protect your lordship!"
"Hidden!"
Chaotic slogans have come and gone, and the troops that do not belong to each other, you have me, I have you, and each listens to its own people, and it has become a pot of porridge, and it is impossible to organize an effective counterattack at all.
On the other side that was blocked by the stone, the leading big man was basically stopped in front, and there was no one to command, which was even more unbearable.
Some people turn around and want to escape, some people want to clear the barricades, some people bend their bows to fight back, look around, wolves rush around, there is a kind of embarrassment and excitement.
Thankfully, there are still people in charge.
In the rear army, the old prince who was originally sitting in the carriage and was drowsy on the horseback of the six kings suddenly opened his eyes and said coldly: "Stop the deserters, reorganize the army formation, organize a counterattack, and send people to clear the barricades." ”
The four riders, who had been standing by the side curtain of the carriage, immediately responded in silence and rode out.
Only fear can overcome fear.
After the rear generals swung their knives and cut off dozens of heads, the sergeants who fled in all directions in fear stopped.
Under the rain of arrows, the stones blocking the road were slowly removed, and a passage gradually appeared.
Just as the whole team finally began to recover in a stable direction, a loud shout of killing suddenly sounded on the hillside, accompanied by sergeants with swords and guns all over the mountain.
In the carriage of the rear army, the coachman lifted the curtain, and the old prince squinted and stared straight at the almost one-sided slaughter ahead.
When he found out that the center of gravity of the ambush soldiers was really towards Luan, the fist in the old prince's sleeve clenched violently.
Two days ago, he received a letter from an old man, the old man in the letter was earnest, but he was still a little entangled, but now it seems that it is a win-win situation.
He beckoned to the coachman, and the Heaven Asking Heaven Realm cultivator, who was willing to be the coachman, got into the carriage, and after the old prince whispered a word in his ear, he nodded and went out.
The curtain was lowered, and the old prince slowly covered his ears, but he could still clearly hear the shout that resounded throughout the battlefield, "Your Majesty is attacked! Come to the rescue! Your Majesty is attacked!"
Several big nobles who were trying their best to restrain themselves and resist the ambush showed astonishment, Your Majesty has long been dead, which one to save!
A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Ma Qi's mind, and he also shouted: "Your Majesty has been attacked! Your Majesty has been attacked!"
Then immediately let the private soldiers escort them out of the battlefield.
The rest of the people watched Ma Qi flee from the road, their hearts moved, they understood one after another, their faces showed surprise, and ordered the private soldiers to shout that Your Majesty was attacked, Your Majesty was attacked, and then rushed out with Ma Qi.
Among the ambush soldiers who were struggling to approach Luanjia, there were two people wearing face armor, and the faces under the face armor were none other than Bolhu, the number one fierce general of Libing Mountain.
His eyes were full of consternation, Lao Tzu obviously hadn't approached Luan Jia, which stab did His Majesty encounter?
Because of the evacuation of Ma Qi and the others, Bolhu's front was suddenly empty, and he happened to rush to Luan Jia quickly with his soldiers.
Beside him, another person covered with a visor was the old man who had made the final decision in the second prince's study that day.
He looks old, his name is Zhen Wenhe, he is the number one strategist next to the second prince, and he is also the strongest cultivator.
He heard shouting, again
Looking at the whereabouts of Ma Qi and the others, his eyes lit up, and his heart sank suddenly, it's terrible!
Just as he rushed towards Luanjia, a figure flew out of Luanjia, glanced deeply at Bolhu and Zhen Wenhe, sneered, and quickly left.
Zhen Wenhe, who had faintly felt that something was wrong, was like falling into an ice cave, he recognized this person, it was the personal eunuch next to His Majesty, Gonggong He.
Bol suddenly rushed into Luang with his soldiers in high spirits, and saw a man lying quietly on top of the soft collapse, covered only with a thin quilt on his body.
Bol laughed and drew his sword, "Your Majesty, I can't imagine it! ”
The people on the soft collapse were indifferent, and Bor said contemptuously: "Your Majesty is still waiting for someone to come to the rescue?
There was still no movement on the soft collapse, and Bol was suddenly a little angry, "Your Majesty, now is not a good time to put up a fight!"
"He's not putting on a show, he's dead. A familiar voice sounded bitterly and helplessly beside Borhu.
Boer looked at Zhen Wenhe who walked into Luan's car blankly, turned around suddenly, rushed to the soft collapse, stretched out his hand, probed under Xue Lu's nose, and slammed to the ground!
Zhen Wenhe looked at Bolhu, "It seems that we have all been tricked." ”
Bor suddenly lifted the curtain of Luan's driving, and looked at the soldiers and horses he brought with him outside who were still happily slaughtering those soldiers who did not run away, and he suddenly felt unusually cold in the corpses and blood all over the ground.
Liu Yi had a calm face, looking at the Yuan Mansion that was about to be broken on the other side, full of impatience, he was still waiting for the letter, waiting for the second prince to give the order to attack.
The second prince had a calm face, looking at the map in front of him, full of anxiety, he was also waiting for the letter, waiting for the military report from the mountains north of the Blue Wolf Plain, otherwise he couldn't anger Ma Qi for no reason.
The battle, which seemed to determine the power structure of the Northern Abyss in the future, ended militarily with the complete victory of the two princes and the first line.
Libing Mountain exhausted the remaining more than 20,000 elite soldiers, ambushed here, and the second prince finally hit the army of the class division and beheaded more than 10,000.
However, they got the corpse of Emperor Yuan, so politically, they were completely defeated.
And war is always in the service of politics.
A few hours later, an explosive message spread quickly and then throughout Immortal City.
Emperor Yuan's army failed in its southern expedition, and the second prince sent people to ambush His Majesty Emperor Yuan, who had returned to the city, in Cangwolf Plain, and His Majesty was attacked and killed.
Although someone immediately stood up and tried to tell something different, they couldn't stand the mouths of the people, and the killing of the second prince quickly became an established fact.
In the Hall of Eternal Life, Xue Ming smashed the thick desk in front of him with one palm, and in the rising powder, there was a twisted and hideous face;
Xue Yong, who sang and drank for a long time, waved away the song and dance, howling and crying;
Outside the Yuan Mansion, Liu Yi was in a dilemma, and in the Yuan Mansion, the drenched Yuan Mei finally understood why his father was leaving.
Outside the city, a procession went out of the city, and in the middle of the procession was a carriage, on which sat two people, one old and one young.
The old man touched the young man's head and said kindly: "Ashina Siqi, you are going to Immortal City, are you afraid?"
The boy shook his head very dryly, "The noble wolf of the steppe is fearless. ”
The old man smiled, "Yes, don't be afraid, those people have nothing to fear." Man, being strong is more important than anything else. ”
If the clouds fall here, they will definitely recognize that the old man is the mysterious person who woke him up in the first place.
But he didn't recognize that more than 30 years ago, there was a wolf and a fox, threatening the grassland, and no one dared to attack him.
It's just that later, when the wolf hides and the fox hides, only those old people are left, and they are still chatting about their legends in the chatter that young people don't like to hear.
The fox's name is Yuan Tao, and he cares about his life in three dynasties, and he is extremely prosperous and rich;
The blue wolf is the old man sitting in the carriage at this moment, Ashina Yili.
