Chapter 192: Twin Cities Broken
Xiao Lie heard an urgent report that the rear of the army was lost, and he returned to the horse's head to see what was happening in the rear. It turned out that a large number of rebel troops with ghosts appeared in the rear, and a large area of black pressure could not tell their number. Xiao Lie immediately ran back to the front team and said to Zhao Haiquan and Master Zhenxiu: "A large number of enemies have appeared behind the army, each of them is lightly armed, the first general, and he will fight with them. I've told my brothers in the back to resist with all their might, and we'll have to work harder. ”
When Zhao Haiquan was still thinking about a way, Master Zhenxiu first said: "There is only one way at the moment, put the brothers of the rear army in front of the front, and let Xing Hao bombard the enemy troops in the rear with the five thunder talismans, and then support them first." As long as we run to the city, we will be considered alive. ”
Xiao Lie agreed, called Xing Hao, who was fighting not far away, and told him the arranged plan, Xing Hao happily accepted it, and went to the back of the army with the five thunder talismans. In a matter of moments, bursts of thunder rang out from the rear of the army, dazzling pillars of thunder fell one after another, and the earth trembled.
Xiao Lie led the men and horses all the way to slash and kill, and fled outside Hecheng at the cost of nearly half of the dead and wounded. On the tower of the city, the general soldiers of Hecheng saw that Xiao Lie's army was pursued and fled to the city, and immediately ordered to send troops to rescue them. When Xiao Lie approached the city, there were only one or two thousand people left in the original army of 10,000 people. Although the losses were heavy, the destruction of more than 10,000 enemies can be regarded as a gain and a loss.
And the ghost troops who pursued Xiao Lie were reorganized on the spot under Hecheng, and they had no intention of retreating. The Hecheng side only sent heavy troops to monitor and defend the castle tower, and did not attack it.
Xiao Lie, Zhao Haiquan, Xing Hao, and Master Zhenxiu did not rest for a moment, and came directly to the meeting hall to meet Yin Xuesong. The five of them met, and they didn't say a few polite words, Yin Xuesong began to ask questions, and Xiao Lie told the things that had happened in the past few days in detail, and Zhao Haiquan added some omissions. After saying this, everyone fell silent. Although there is life and death in the war, such losses are completely unexpected by these people.
Such a dull atmosphere lasted for a long time, but Xiao Lie was the first to break the silence, Xiao Lie rubbed the blood stains on his hands and said to Yin Xuesong: "Senior Brother Yin, we shouldn't be so depressed, the most important thing at the moment is how to deal with those ghosts outside the city, and we must not give them too much respite." I suggest that we use troops against them now, not to mention annihilating them all, but also to severely dampen their spirit. ”
Without waiting for Yin Xuesong to give an answer, Zhao Haiquan said on the side: "I also agree with this approach, and we have discussed it with Master Zhenxiu, now we don't need to take care of the corpses of the ghosts, our main purpose is to destroy them, and if you can use the five thunder talismans to solve the battle, don't use soldiers to fight with your life." ”
"Didn't the presiding abbot of Fuhu Temple suffer in vain?"
Master Zhenxiu recited the Buddha's name and said to Yin Xuesong: "As early as before, the presiding abbot told me to rescue as many people as possible, but he also has no objection to clinging to the life and death of others in the most critical situation. I think Master's ultimate meaning is that they can save as much as they can, and those who can't be saved will send their souls directly to the underworld, and then give up the pain of serving their sentences and go directly to the well of reincarnation. If we blindly pay attention to the universality of sentient beings, compassion is the foundation, good and evil are cherished, then how can we ensure the safety of our own lives? Even if we make such a decision, my master and his old man will understand. What's more, we have already saved so many people, and Master's hard work and pain have not been in vain. ”
Yin Xuesong smiled and said, "Since Master Zhenxiu has already said this, we have nothing to worry about. There are still 3,000 Five Thunder Talismans in the warehouse, plus your own inventory should be able to make up 5,000 pieces, and you don't need to take so many people out. It's best to cut half of their forces, so that the next battle will be easy to fight, and we won't have to worry about them using crowd tactics against us. ”
"I think it's feasible, let me go this time, I'll take the two hundred brothers of our Jinyi Guard. I have trained them on how to use spiritual power before, and although they are not very proficient, it is more than enough to urge these five thunder runes. In this battle, I must be ashamed and win back all the previous humiliations. I also want to give them a taste of the pain of this war, and let them see the scenery of hell with their own eyes. After speaking, Zhao Haiquan stood up and walked out of the meeting hall.
Yin Xuesong was about to stop him, but was persuaded by Xing Hao and Xiao Lie, Xiao Lie said to him: "Senior Brother Yin, just let him go, Lao Zhao's heart has squeezed too many negative emotions for a while, and if he doesn't let him release it, it will be easy to suffocate his body." ”
Xing Hao echoed on the side: "It's not, especially after the death of the owner of Peng Sanding's pavilion, I haven't seen a smile on Brother Zhao's face, even his favorite thing 'cooking' is careless, and the things he makes are ordinary, ordinary, and not delicious at all." Just like Xiao Lie said, let him release it, if nothing else, just to let him take out the evil breath in his chest. ”
Yin Xuesong was still a little hesitant, and his two pairs of eyes looked at Master Zhenxiu with doubt. And Master Zhenxiu just smiled faintly and nodded at Yin Xuesong, telling him that he also agreed to do so. Yin Xuesong saw that the three of them had no opinions, so he didn't have different suggestions, but he agreed to agree, and he still expressed his concerns: "I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm worried about what Brother Zhao will do if he is rash and causes consequences that we can't bear." Not to mention that our own hearts are better or worse, we just can't even explain to Brother Nangong. ”
"You don't have to worry about this, I will lead the troops within the city gate to stand by, once something happens to Brother Zhao and them, I will go to the rescue as soon as possible." In order not to make Yin Xuesong too worried, Xiao Lie told him his thoughts.
However, Yin Xuesong vetoed his idea, and Yin Xuesong said to Xiao Lie: "You have just experienced a big battle, and you haven't even breathed yet, so you can't let you go to the front of the battle." I think it's better to do this, since I can't persuade you, then I will do the task of responding to Brother Zhao. I've been bored here for a long time, and I've long wanted to move my muscles, but I haven't had a chance, and today is a good opportunity, how can I miss it. ”
Xiao Lie hesitated for a moment, and then agreed: "Okay, but you can't go by yourself, let Xing Hao accompany you, you have never fought with the rebel troops of the ghosts, and you don't know their situation." It will be helpful for you to take Xing Hao with you. ”
After making these decisions, several people didn't say anything, and according to the agreed plan, they started their own things. Xiao Lie and Master Zhenxiu stood on top of the city tower and watched Zhao Haiquan's people fight with the ghost troops, while Yin Xuesong and Xing Hao inside the city gate were restless, especially Yin Xuesong couldn't wait to rush out now and make an end with the ghost army.
This Zhao Haiquan led the troops to ride out, and let his generals and himself bombard the ghost troops at the same time. It was at this time that there was a sound of horses' hooves from the Guandong Road crossing, and Xiao Lie put his hand on the pergola to look at it, it turned out that the sound of horses' hooves came from the remaining troops of the evil spirits.
Xiao Lie immediately made a decision and shouted to the city gate officer: "Open the city gate and let the commander Shi go out of the city to save people." Then he shouted to Yin Xuesong: "Senior Brother Yin, the reinforcements of the ghost army have arrived, it seems that they are pouring out, please be sure to bring back Brother Zhao and all the generals under him." We can't let them continue, and when the reinforcements arrive, they won't be able to run if they want to. ”
Yin Xuesong said yes and then broke out of the city gate and joined the war group. Yin Xuesong's addition made Zhao Haiquan a little dissatisfied, and shouted at Yin Xuesong: "Why did you come out, are you afraid that I won't be able to clean up these stinky fish and rotten shrimp?"
Yin Xuesong knew that Zhao Haiquan had misunderstood their approach, and immediately explained: "There is absolutely no such meaning, look over there." As he spoke, he pointed to the dusty place and continued: "Brother Zhao, look there, it's the reinforcements of the ghost army. If we don't come to rescue you into the city now, their reinforcements will arrive here, and you won't be able to leave. ”
"What is there to be afraid of the clown, we will kill as many as we come, the big deal is death, I have long thought about it, I can die with these brothers, I will be content. Zhao Haiquan said indignantly.
When Yin Xuesong saw it, he said with his mouth that it was impossible to bring Zhao Haiquan back to the city, so he had to grab his war horse with his hands, pull the reins and run back. After returning to the city, Zhao Haiquan complained to him vigorously: "How can you do this, we have always had the upper hand, why should we withdraw our troops." You let me out, I'm going to have to fight them today. ”
"Brother Zhao!" Xiao Lie was on the side, pulled Zhao Haiquan and yelled at him: "How can you be so stubborn, we know that you feel uncomfortable, and we are also uncomfortable." But we can't just watch you in a desperate situation and ignore it, you think about it, and think about it for your own future life. ”
Just as a few people were arguing, a soldier ran in and said, "The two ghost troops outside the city have been connected together, and after a short reorganization outside the city, they were divided into two groups and killed towards the oil city and the ice city. ”
When the herald said this, everyone kept their mouths shut, Xiao Lie asked the herald to go down and continue to investigate, and then said to them: "Let's stop arguing for now, we are all ready to prepare and be ready to rescue the other two cities at any time." I really don't know what this evil demon thinks, why did he go to those two places instead?"
A few people simply cleaned up, and all of them waited in the conference hall for the report of the battle of the two cities to come back. waited until late at night, and finally the soldiers who gave the order came back, and hurriedly said to Yin Xuesong: "Commander Shi, Ice City and Oil City have been captured by the rebel troops of the ghosts, and now the defenders of the two cities are fleeing to Hecheng, and they will be back in less than an hour." ”
Yin Xuesong slapped the case and roared angrily: "What are you talking about? Say it again!" The latest chapter of "Kanto Dao Claw Book House" is free to read for the first time.
