Chapter 573: The End of the Road

The east veins of Qiling are north and south, and the troops of Yan Jitai are ambushed at various passes, waiting for the army of Tang Zhan to fall into the trap and encircle and suppress it if they want to merge with it. But after waiting for nearly an hour, they didn't see the movement of Tang Zhan's troops, and they didn't even see the shadows of Tang Zhan and Lu Jing, as if they had evaporated in this rugged and steep East Ridge.

It is no wonder that before the Mengyuan army successfully arranged the "pocket", Tang Zhan had ordered the main army to go down the mountain in the opposite direction and turn back on the long road, and the army ordered by Yan Jitai set up an ambush at the original intersection, of course, there was no trace of the Tang Zhan troops. In order to cover the response of the main force, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing, who were the main generals and military advisors, voluntarily took risks to stay here, wanting to deal with the enemy army and delay time, but now Meng Yuan's army has not found the two......

Yan Jitai Bazaduo and Li Chengsheng were not idle, and the more than 2,000 people and horses assembled had also blocked every pass of the Qiling East Road, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing wanted to retreat, it can be said that it was difficult to fly. However, no trace of these two people has been found yet, and Yan Jitai can't help but be a little anxious - because he knows that Lu Jing is good at scheming, even if there are only two people left in the entire army, he can't be sure when she will calculate herself, and he has decided to capture Tang Zhan and Lu Jing alive, and every step must be extremely cautious......

"Did you find it?" Yan Jitai and Li Chengsheng walked to a pass on the side of the mountain and asked their soldiers.

"No, sir—" the soldier replied in response.

"In this rugged Dongling, where can his Tang Zhan's troops run if they run again?" Yan Jitai began to muttered to himself.

"Could it be that Tang Zhan and Lu Jing will branch out the main army, and only the two of them are left, so that we can't find the target......" Li Chengsheng couldn't help but wonder. However, he basically guessed what he said.

Yan Jitai nodded silently. Then he said to his soldiers: "Continue to guard and be vigilant at all times - Tang Zhan and Lu Jing are not simple." Wisdom and courage can win over others, once their traces appear, immediately send a signal!"

"Yes—" replied the soldier as usual......

"Ahh......h It was clear that he had been knocked off a cliff.

Fools can also understand that it was Tang Zhan and Lu Jing's doing. But in this way, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing also exposed their positions. Yan Jitai looked at the direction of the side ridge and said with a hideous smile: "That's it, it's wrong, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing must be ......there," Yan Jitai also clenched his fists excitedly from time to time as he spoke.

Li Chengsheng looked in that direction, his eyes wrinkled slightly, and then he smiled slightly: "That place is the Jedi of Beiling, go inside." It's a dead end, as long as you push them to the corner, they can't escape......"

Yan Jitai responded to Li Chengsheng's wishes, and immediately ordered: "Pass the order." Order the defenders of the host province to surround and surround the north side of the ridge along the circling momentum, and capture Tang Zhan and Lu Jing alive!"

Soldiers who received orders. Immediately signaled to all roads of the mountain pass, and the Mengyuan defenders in various places began to move. Walk up in the direction of the Absolute Ridge on the north side - it seems that this time, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing themselves have come to a desperate situation......

Sure enough, it is in the narrow road on the north side. In order to break through the siege, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing fought with the scattered troops here. The defenders here are only ten people, and it is effortless to solve them, and the soldiers who fell into the valley just now were shot down by Tang Zhan's "Splitting Empty Palm" and fell to the bottom of the valley......

"It's not safe here......" Lu Jing looked at the corpse of the Mengyuan soldier on the ground, and said with a little nervousness, "Yan Jitai has eyeliner at various passes, and if there is a slight shot in one place, a hundred places will move, this place should not stay for a long time, let's hurry up-"

"But this is not like a place where we can escape, will we come to a dead end?" Tang Zhan had a bad premonition and said with the pear flower gun in his hand.

Lu Jing is also the same as Tang Zhan, the two of them are not familiar with the place here, and they have suffered a big loss when dealing with the Mengyuan troops who are familiar with the terrain. Fortunately, the main force was allowed to evacuate from a long distance before the enemy formed an encirclement, otherwise all the 500 troops today might be buried here. And they didn't know that Yan Jitai Bazaduo's target was only the two of them, and he was not interested in the 500 troops who had returned from a long distance......

"There is no way to die, if we really can't escape today, then we have to fight ......" Lu Jing said with a firm look in his eyes, "But we can't give up until the last moment, let's go inside first, maybe there is another way to escape......" Saying that, Lu Jing looked at the secluded woodland behind him.

Tang Zhan nodded, he believed that there was no way to be endless, and he had to find a way out with Lu Jing to fight everything...... "Someone is coming-" However, while he was still thinking about it, there was a movement of Meng Yuan's army behind him, Tang Zhan couldn't help but remind......

Meng Yuan's army moved really fast, and soon after Tang Zhan and Lu Jing's movements were discovered, the nearby troops surrounded them. However, there did not seem to be many troops at the head of the platoon, only a dozen or so crossbowmen were probing ahead. Meng Yuan's troops knew that the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty were world-famous, and if they wanted to fight head-on with cold blades, they had little chance of winning, while the crossbowmen were quick to react, could attack from a distance, and were flexible with bows and arrows.

There are not many troops at the head of the line, but this also shows that the people behind are about to follow, if Tang Zhan and Lu Jing continue to waste time here, they will really have to wait for death......

At this moment, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing were hiding in the rock mass in front of the forest, one person on one side, waiting for the enemy crossbowmen to approach, while gesturing with their eyes and gestures......

Meng Yuan's crossbowmen were slowly sneaking in, firstly to guard against the unexpected appearance of Tang Zhan and Lu Jing, and secondly, to delay time waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from the rear. Gradually, they had approached the rock mass where Tang Zhan and Lu Jing were hiding......

Suddenly, a short sword flashed from one side of the rock, and the sudden back of the sword reflected the sunlight, and the dazzling sunlight quickly interfered with the sight of the enemy crossbowmen.

Before the crossbowmen could react in time, Lu Jing was the first to appear, from top to bottom. "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers" swirled out. The dragon and phoenix double short sword used an elegant sword technique, like a sword aura like a flower petal rolling down. Densely packed towards the enemy troops. The crossbowmen couldn't cope at all, and countless blood marks had been scratched on their hands and faces. It didn't take long for him to collapse in a pool of blood.

Tang Zhan's side was the same, all the enemy troops who were attracted by Lu Jing didn't pay attention to Tang Zhan's side at all. When Tang Zhan appeared instantly, the barrel of the pear flower gun swung forward, and the internal force like a thousand catties of boulders hit the enemy's abdomen. Immediately, the enemy spat blood from his mouth and was killed by Tang Zhan's rock-thick internal force......

"Let's go-" Lu Jing finished solving her own side and glanced at Tang Zhan.

"Be careful—" However, Tang Zhan's reaction was even better. Suddenly feeling that something was wrong ahead, he reminded him in a low voice.

Lu Jing's conditioned reflex was average, and she didn't look up, and sure enough, an arrow crossbow was flying over her head - it was really thrilling, life and death were in one step.

Looking up again, it turned out that the crossbowmen of the enemy army in the rear had arrived. Tang Zhan and Lu Jing's anti-ambush was indeed successful, but the target was completely exposed, and the crossbowmen in front of them shot arrows at Tang Zhan and Lu Jing from a long distance without saying a word.

Tang Zhan pear flower gun lifted. With the internal force of reincarnation that swept the ground, the "reincarnation marksmanship" appeared, and with its rotating internal force, the flying arrows and crossbows were swept away one by one.

Lu Jing was not idle here. He picked up the bow and crossbow next to the enemy's corpse, and reflected it towards the enemy army in Mengyuan.

"Ahh......h Truly. was confused by Tang Zhan's dazzling front, but ignored Lu Jing who was lying on the ground......

A few soldiers came up from behind. Tang Zhan and Lu Jing also solved most of it effortlessly. But the good times didn't last long, just when Tang Zhan and Lu Jing were about to get up and retreat. A bunch of spears flew in, heading towards Tang Zhan's "Wheel Returning Marksmanship" gun. Tang Zhan saw that something was wrong, and the pear flower spear changed its move with force, and with a flash of golden light, the internal force that pierced the sky cut the flying spear into two pieces.

Immediately followed by a nine-foot man, who seemed to be a fierce general in the Mengyuan array. Like a mad beast, the big man screamed and pounced in front of Tang Zhan.

"Jing'er, quickly step back!" Tang Zhan subconsciously shouted at Lu Jing beside him, and then turned over and stepped forward, high-fived.

In an instant, like the eight winds cracking and slashing the scattered internal force, the palm of the palm is like a hole through the boulder, a gust of wind accompanied by the internal force of the storm boulder, the cave sky poured out of the nest - the "wind blade" in the "splitting palm" exploded, the internal force of the palm was like a huge wave, surging through and divided into eight directions, until the enemy army in front of him was torn apart, and the mouth vomited blood and died.

Meng Yuan was a fierce general, but he died tragically under Tang Zhan's "splitting the empty palm" move, and the Meng Yuan soldiers in the rear saw it and did not dare to enter. But this is only temporary, this move "Wind Blade" consumed a lot of Tang Zhan's internal strength, and the number of Mengyuan soldiers who caught up behind was increasing, except for the Tang family's overlord gun, Tang Zhan could not use the "Split Empty Palm" to deter every time.

There was no way, Tang Zhan, like Lu Jing, also took advantage of the chaos to hide behind the rock mass, but this time, he and Lu Jing hid together......

"Pap-pa-pa-pa-......pa-

"Sure enough, he is worthy of being a descendant of the Tang family, not only is the overlord of the Tang family proficient, but his palm is also shocking......" Yan Jitai knew that Tang Zhan and Lu Jing were hiding behind the rock mass, but after all, this was a rare opportunity for the commanders of the two armies to talk head-on, Yan Jitai did not signal his troops to press directly, but stood by and said, "A hot-blooded prodigal son like you is not showing his skills in the Central Plains martial arts, but he is still going to fight, and he is still Zhu Yuanzhang's lackey...... I heard that your father is Tang Tianhui, in order to serve the imperial court, he took refuge in Yuxing City's Wuluo Belt Todo, and also destroyed the Tang family with his own hands, and fell into the infamy of deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors, but later died at the hands of his fellow disciple Tang Xiaofeng...... But we are different from you Han people who hate your father to the core, the court values your father very much, but I didn't expect you, as his son, not only did not inherit the filial piety of your Han people, but the son inherited his father's business, but turned against Zhu Yuanzhang, is this also what you want?" Yan Jitai tried to interfere with Tang Zhan's mind and pulled up Tang Zhan's life experience.

Indeed, whether it is a Mongolian or a Han Chinese, whenever he talks about the fate of the Tang family and his own life experience, Tang Zhan always has a heart-piercing pain in his heart, which is like a flame brand, deep in Tang Zhan's heart, burning painful but forever lingering. Tang Zhan's hand holding the pear flower gun trembled more and more, and with his own enemy on the other side, Tang Zhan couldn't wait to go out immediately and shoot him through the heart to death......

However, at a critical moment, Lu Jing grabbed Tang Zhan's hand tightly. Whenever Tang Zhan's mind was disturbed because of his life experience, Lu Jing could always help him stabilize his mind, whether it was criticized by all martial arts people in Lu Mansion, humiliated by Dou Deyong in Wild Wolf Mountain, or disturbed by Yan Jitai in Qiling Mountain now...... As long as Lu Jing was by his side, Tang Zhan would be able to settle down a lot. When Wild Wolf Mountain dealt with Dou Deyong, he himself swore in front of Lu Jing that he would not mess with himself again due to the disturbance of his life experience. This time is no exception, no matter what outsiders say, Tang Zhan is unmoved......

Yan Jitai saw that Tang Zhan behind the rock mass did not move for a long time, and realized that something was wrong. Just as he wanted to send someone to the front to find out, Tang Zhan's voice came.

I only heard Tang Zhan's words with a smile, and his tone was also very calm: "Hahaha, the dignified Xuzhou Taishou, will actually be unable to patrol because of a military general who is disturbed by his life experience, in vain you Yan Jitai is a famous general of Mengyuan, but you only have this bit of courage, no wonder Marshal Zhu Yuanzhang has not won or lost with you for ten years, but he has never put you in his eyes......"

This is a very clever plan, not only is not disturbed by the other person's mind, but on the contrary, it disturbs the other party. What's more, this sentence was not taught by Lu Jing on the side, but by Tang Zhan himself. Lu Jing was also surprised by Tang Zhan's reaction, she understood that Tang Zhan was no longer the stupid boy he used to be, he had completely changed......

Yan Jitai was also unexpected, but he thought that since he was a descendant of the Tang family, he must be wise and brave. Yan Jitai was also very patient, and he was not angered by Tang Zhan's words, and after calming down a little, he began to pull up other words: "But I really admire General Tang, from the perspective of a soldier, you are really courageous - your main force is not here, you should have taken a long detour to withdraw, I didn't expect you to take risks for the safety of the main force, regardless of the identity of the lord of the army, and take risks to support the main force of our army, in this regard, I admire you very much...... But you can only stop here, you, and Lu Jing, I'm Yan Jitai to get you today!"

Lu Jing listened to it behind the rock mass, and her heart was certain, and then she also smiled and answered: "Lord Yan Jitai really looks up to me, as the generals of the Er army said, I am just a yellow-haired girl, but I didn't expect to attract so much attention from you, my lord." Or is it ...... Your Excellency, you can't bear to be humiliated by me twice, and you want to wash away your shame?"

Compared with Tang Zhan, Lu Jing's anger was more effective. Indeed, compared to his own lack of patrol, Yan Jitai is more concerned about the shame of being calculated twice by Lu Jing, plus Lu Jing is just a yellow-haired girl, she is a famous general, and she was calculated by the girl's family, wouldn't it be laughing when it is passed out?

Yan Jitai was slightly irritated by Lu Jing, but he responded with cruel words: "Hmph, don't be complacent for too long, you girl can't escape today, I will catch you with my own hands and let the soldiers escort your girl in front of me in person, so that you can no longer raise your head!"

Lu Jing thought about it, made a gesture to Tang Zhan, and made eye contact, as if he had other plans.

Tang Zhan nodded knowingly, and knelt down to get ready to act......

Immediately, Lu Jing responded to Yan Jitai with a smile and said: "Hmph, the war is not over yet-who will put whom in front of whom in the end, who will not be able to raise his head, how can others be prophets?"

"What are you talking about?" Yan Jitai said angrily when he saw that Lu Jing was still stiff-mouthed when he was dying.

However, as soon as the words fell, Lu Jing suddenly appeared. I saw her exposing half of her body from the back of the rock mass, picking up the bow and crossbow she had picked up earlier, and taking advantage of the enemy's negligence, she shot out with one arrow...... (To be continued......)
