Chapter 42: Taking the Valley of Quicksand
Zhan Fengting led the men and horses to stand outside the camp in the Ping Territory, looking at the calm camp tent opposite, Zhan Fengting's eyes narrowed slightly, pondering the situation inside.
"Aren't they in the Valley of Quicksand anymore?" said Battle Wind, rubbing his chin in thought. Immediately, the spear was raised, and a group of people and horses rushed out behind them, and unlike the others, their feet were not shoes but thick planks.
This is the method that Xu Moyin came up with after thinking for a long time to get through the quicksand valley, and the reason why he didn't appear on the battlefield before was because there were many people in Lu Xuancheng, and it was not convenient for these soldiers to step on the plank, if they were on the battlefield, these people were tantamount to living targets.
In order to avoid losses, Xu Moyin has not asked everyone to do so. But now it's different, Lu Xuancheng and the others are no longer in the quicksand valley, and most of the soldiers in the camp have almost been annihilated by Zheng Guanying and Qin Moyang.
At this time, although there is still a lot of risk in using this method, it is much smaller than before.
The soldiers of the Zhenguo Army stepped on the plank, walking on the quicksand with difficulty, I have to say that the quicksand in this quicksand valley is really not in vain, a soldier of the Zhenguo Army did not stabilize his center of gravity when walking, and fell to the ground all of a sudden, and fell into it without even a chance to struggle.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene, and at this time, a loud roar came from the rear, "Everyone hurry up, you must be careful!"
Hearing the reminder of the war wind, all the soldiers of the Zhenguo Army raised their courage and walked forward step by step.
Just after the first team walked a distance of more than ten feet, another team changed into wooden shoes and walked up.
Walking on the quicksand was not only dangerous but also very difficult, and it took an hour for the vanguard of the Zhenguo Army to pass through the quicksand at a distance of 100 zhang, and thousands of people brandished their weapons and screamed and broke into the camp in the quicksand valley.
I saw that the camp was empty, and there were all kinds of weapons scattered on the ground, obviously it was already an empty camp.
Zhan Feng Ting flew down from mid-air, looking at the empty military camp with only the autumn wind and heavy rain, Zhan Feng Ting's eyes trembled a few times, and then looked up at the sky, and said loudly, "Fourth brother, we have succeeded!"
If it weren't for Xu Moyin's desperate life to lead away Qi Yuezhao and half of the men, then he would attack the quicksand valley this time, crossing the quicksand and danger, and I don't know how many soldiers' lives he would have to pay as a price.
"Occupy the camp at once, and clear the weapons and food and equipment. Zhan Fengting gave an order, and then led people to meet the follow-up troops, and the quicksand valley was already in their pockets.
Just as Zhan Fengting walked out of the camp, he saw Zheng Guanying, who was dressed in white, Xiao Ran holding Xu Moyin's corpse, standing in front of the hundred miles of quicksand.
Zhan Feng Thunder's eyes widened, although he had already prepared in his heart, but when he saw Xu Moyin's corpse, he still couldn't believe that it was Xu Moyin, who was still talking and laughing with him a few days ago.
"Fourth brother!" the battle wind roared, and the figure flew out from the front of the camp in the quicksand valley, and several flying bodies in the air rushed to the opposite side as fast as thunder and lightning.
"Click...", lightning exploded in the air.
Zhan Fengting trembled his hands, gently touched Xu Moyin's cold corpse, and the tears in his eyes suddenly erupted, sad and angry...
"Fourth brother, quicksand valley.. Quicksand Valley has been taken down, you.. Are you happy?" Zhan Fengting, an iron-clad man who grew up in the army, cried bitterly for the first time, looked at the smile on Xu Moyin's handsome face, and asked in a choked voice.
The dripping rain slapped on everyone's bodies, washing away the dust and blood stains on Xu Moyin's body, and he left, walking very peacefully...
"Big brother, don't cry.." Zheng Guanying held back the tears in his eyes, sighed, and said, "The prince still needs you to lead the troops to the rescue, fourth brother... Fourth brother, he definitely doesn't want us like this. ”
Perhaps it was providence, Xu Moyin was destined to die in the Ping Territory. As he himself said, he was born in the rain and died in the rain, everything is providential!
After listening to Zheng Guanying's words, Zhan Fengting wiped away his tears, restrained his heartbroken look, and turned to shout at the soldiers behind, "Brothers, immediately cross the quicksand and go to the Wild Wolf Mountain to save the world, and let the Ping Territory use blood to understand the price of angering my Golden Town King's Mansion!"
At this point, Zhan Fengting could only vent all his feelings on Ping Territory. After all, this is the battlefield, and there will always be life and death on the battlefield, which is an iron law that no one can escape.
An hour later, Zhan Feng Ting led 30,000 cavalry from the shortcut behind the quicksand valley to Wild Wolf Mountain to rescue Xuanyuan Hao.
He knew that they didn't have time to grieve, Xu Moyin was already dead, and people couldn't be resurrected after death. As the eldest brother, the only thing he can do is to rescue Xuanyuan Hao, the person Xu Moyin has supported all his life!
"Fourth brother, eldest brother won't let you die in vain, don't worry..."
Zhan Fengting's face was resolute, his eyes contained monstrous killing intent, and he rode a horse to lead the cavalry to gallop towards the Wild Wolf Mountain, and under the trampling of tens of thousands of iron hooves, there was no longer an inch of intact land behind the quicksand valley.
At the same time that Zhan Fengting left the Quicksand Valley, Luo Fan had also returned to the imperial capital of the Ping Territory with thousands of remnants, and after Lu Xuancheng heard the news of the loss of the Quicksand Valley, a generation of military gods sat on the ground as if they had lost their souls.
Luo Fan knelt in front of Lu Xuancheng and told Lu Xuancheng everything that happened in the quicksand valley as it was, and Lu Xuancheng sighed for a long time, his resolute face turned slightly pale.
"Alas......" let out a long sigh, revealing the helplessness in Lu Xuancheng's heart. He had only been away for a day, and the Quicksand Valley had already fallen into the hands of the Zhenguo Army, and the most important defense line in the Ping Territory had been breached.
What an irony this is for him who has fought all his life!
"Luo Fan, get up, it's not your fault.. Xu Moyin used his life as bait in exchange for quicksand valley, which was providential. Lu Xuancheng looked at Luo Fan, who had been kneeling on the ground, and waved his hand weakly.
No one would have imagined that Xu Moyin would joke with his own life, using Qiyuezhao's short-sighted character to take away the quicksand valley.
Although Luo Fan should bear some responsibility for the loss of Quicksand Valley, the bigger mistake still appeared in him. Lu Xuancheng just regretted why he left Qi Yuezhao at that time, giving Xu Moyin a chance.
Luo Fan looked at the sad look on Lu Xuancheng's face, and walked over to help Lu Xuancheng up.
Lu Xuancheng looked at the gloomy sky, the tears in his eyes quietly condensed, and he sighed silently in his heart.
"Immediately send someone to summon the military advisor, and ask him to kill Xuanyuan Hao no matter what, otherwise..." Lu Xuancheng didn't say any more, because that result was the one he feared the most, but it was also the most real.
If Xuanyuan Hao doesn't die, then in the future, there will be countless soldiers in the Ping Territory!
On Wild Wolf Mountain, the rainstorm has gradually become smaller, but the uneasiness in Xuanyuan Hao's heart is becoming more and more intense. Looking at the cloudy sky, there seemed to be a trace of sadness on the handsome face.
He really didn't know what was wrong with him, and the unwarranted depression in his heart made him manic like a lion at this time. All it takes is a little stimulation for him to explode.
"Shizi, after such a long delay, we should go back. Xiao Ran sat beside him and asked.
Xuanyuan Hao didn't listen to what he said at all, just nodded slightly, and then looked at the eyes around him that were fixed on him, Xuanyuan Hao didn't know what to say for a while.
"Shizi, then you can start to plan for the breakout!" Xuanyuan Ao noticed his abnormality, frowned and reminded.
Xuanyuan Hao fiddled with the branch in his hand, and then pinched the branch off with a slight force and threw it on the ground, "Aim a little, let's rush over!"
"Okay!" Xuanyuan Yu nodded, for now, this is undoubtedly the best way.
At the foot of the mountain, Fu Qianqiu stood quietly, as if waiting for Xuanyuan Hao's arrival. Behind him was the army that had been stationed in the Valley of Quicksand.
Ever since he learned the news that Xuanyuan Ao and Xuanyuan Yu, the two world-famous masters in the past, had reappeared on the battlefield from Yue Zhen, Fu Qianqiu immediately rearranged his previous deployment and pressed all his troops on the way down the mountain.
At this time, someone behind Fu Qianqiu handed over a secret letter.
"Gold Lacquer Wax Seal, what happened?" Fu Qianqiu suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, the Golden Lacquer Wax Seal was the highest symbol of the transmission of letters in the Ping Territory, and as long as a major event of 100,000 urgency would be transmitted with the Gold Lacquer Wax Seal seal.
Fu Qianqiu tore open the letter with anxiety, looking at the short sentences in the letter, the originally calm mood was now like a river overturning, and a wave of anger suddenly burned all over his body.
"Bastard!" Fu Qianqiu tore the letter to pieces, turned his head angrily to look at Mo Shoucheng and Yue Zhen who looked puzzled, and said loudly, "Yue Zhen, the good apprentice you taught, it was he who pushed us all to the point of no return!"
Fu Qianqiu's face was gloomy, and he seemed to be dripping water. The loss of Quicksand Valley was a bolt from the blue for him. Without this natural barrier, the Flat Territory is already in jeopardy, and they will only have one next time, and that is... Die!
Yue Zhen didn't know what was going on at all, but looking at Fu Qianqiu's already trembling body, he seemed to have guessed some eyebrows in his heart, and the contents sealed by the gold lacquer wax seal were most likely to be a big bad news.
Listening to Fu Qianqiu's tone, it was not difficult for Yue Zhen to think that behind this bad news must be related to his apprentice who had not achieved enough things and had more than enough failures.
For a while, Yue Zhen's face was also covered with gloom, but compared to Fu Qianqiu, who was extremely gloomy, he was still a little bit of a witch.
Fu Qianqiu looked at Yue Zhen, sneered twice, and said, "Qiyue is dead.. His death was earth-shattering, and his death was a great bad thing for us. ”
Fu Qianqiu's words revealed a thick chill, and anyone could hear it, this was definitely not a pity for Qi Yuezhao's death, there was another article in it.
Seeing that Yue Zhen and the others were silent, Fu Qianqiu continued, "Do you know why I said that Qi Yuezhao's death was earth-shattering? Because he died, and the quicksand valley was lost!"
A sentence was like a muffled thunder exploding in everyone's ears, Yue Scar was stunned, what the loss of the quicksand valley meant They all knew very well, and the most important line of defense in the Ping Territory was gone.
"Qi Yuezhao, a waste who is eager for quick success and quick profit, even if he dies, he is really a talent, why didn't I see it before?" Fu Qianqiu said coldly, the piercing chill made people shiver.
"Strategist, what should we do next?" Mo Shoucheng glanced at Yue Zhen, and then asked Fu Qianqiu.
Fu Qianqiu looked at the sky, pondered for a while, and then said, "At all costs, you must kill Xuanyuan Hao, miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and then we will have no place to turn over." ”
This was the consensus between him and Lu Xuancheng, and Xuanyuan Hao's current threat to them was far beyond the Lost Quicksand Valley. As long as Xuanyuan Hao is alive, with his ability to lead the army for many years and the grief of Xu Moyin's death, this will definitely be a very powerful force.
When the time comes, the Ping Territory really may not be able to match it.
At this moment, there were suddenly bursts of shouts in front of him, and Fu Qianqiu looked at it from a distance, and the golden spear in his hand was running across the middle, riding a war horse galloping.
On his left flank, Xuanyuan Ao and Shi Mengyan led three thousand golden guards like a rainbow. On the right wing, Xuanyuan Yu and Xiao Ran led the troops together, also with 3,000 people.
Fu Qianqiu sneered twice, and immediately gave the order to go down and prepare to fight. Taking advantage of the fact that there are many generals on his side, this time, he must kill Xuanyuan Hao.
"Listen to the army, those who kill Xuanyuan Hao will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold!"
With a wave of Fu Qianqiu's feather fan, the soldiers behind him were already rushing out, they thought that Xuanyuan Hao was already a toothless tiger, and as long as he was desperate enough, he would definitely be able to kill him under the knife.
These are the saddest people, who never know what kind of behemoth they are up against. As long as others give enough benefits, this huge temptation is something they cannot refuse.
Seeing the infantry in the Ping Territory surging like a tide, Xuanyuan Hao let out a loud roar, releasing all the inexplicable depression in his heart, and the Imperial Dragon Painting Blade stabbed forward, instantly passing through the body of a soldier.
When he died, he didn't even say a word. It's a pity that he only thinks about making achievements, but he forgets how huge the gap between him and Xuanyuan Hao is, and it is a chasm that he can never cross.
Xuanyuan Ao continued to fight with Yue Ji, and the two of them exchanged spears and halberds on their horses, refusing to let each other go.
On the other side, the extra-long silver spear in Xuanyuan Yu's hand pointed at Mo Shoucheng, and without further words, he immediately launched an attack.
The originally muddy mountain road is now covered with bloodstains, and the golden guards are all extremely brave, as if they are in a no-man's land among the army of the Ping Territory, and each of the spears of the same color is stained with the blood of the soldiers of the Ping Territory.
This was an inhuman massacre, and although Xuanyuan Hao's number was much lower than that of the Ping Territory, the military quality of those Golden Guards was by no means comparable to that of ordinary soldiers.
Blood sprayed on the ground as if it didn't want money, and countless soldiers in the Ping Territory just howled miserably and died under the butcher's knife.
But Fu Qianqiu didn't bear it at all when he saw this scene, his cold eyes just stared at Xuanyuan Hao who was surrounded by him.
This is his ultimate goal... As long as Xuanyuan Hao is killed, even if it is worth sacrificing more people!
