Chapter 582: Zilong Possession (Medium)
"My lord, no trace of Zhao Zichuan has been found at the passes ahead-" The wolf pass was like a labyrinth, and the troops were branched around, but Zhao Zichuan could not be found, and the soldiers who came back reported the truth to Xue Qiang.
"Hmph, no matter how powerful he is, he won't want to escape from Wolf Pass-" Xue Qiang clenched his fists and said, "Zhao Zichuan should buy time for his troops, it should be to seize Jinjun first, so if he can join the troops, he will definitely march in the direction of Jinjun...... Pass the order, and the whole army will set up ambushes on all roads leading to Jinjun in this pass, no matter who else, I only need Zhao Zichuan's head!" It seems that Xue Qiang has been angry to a certain point, and he doesn't care about the real purpose of his coming here tonight.
"Yes-" The subordinate soldiers naturally had no objections, and tens of thousands of male soldiers immediately infiltrated from all directions, and thousands of elite soldiers were ambushed at every pass leading to Jinjun......
"Da Da Da - Da Da Da ......" At the dark pass of the dark passage without open flames, Zhao Zichuan was galloping on horseback, he wanted to go to Jinjun to meet his troops, but he was lost. As rumored to say, the maze of mountain roads is nine twists and turns, there is no open flame to illuminate the road, and the east and west, north and south have not been able to distinguish between east and west.
"Huh-" However, without waiting for Zhao Zichuan to react, a fire suddenly appeared at the intersection in front of him, and with the sound of the wind in the cold night, the torches carried the cold light like a cage and locked in a prison, and the narrow pass appeared in a formation - Zhao Zichuan saw clearly, it was Xue Qiang's ambush army.
"Squeak-" A string sound came to the tip of the ear, it was the sound of the Mengyuan army stretching its bow and arrows, and the ambush troops at the pass ahead gathered in formation, as if they were going to intercept Zhao Zichuan with bows and arrows.
However, Zhao Zichuan either retreated or advanced, and the sharp blade cold light at the narrow pass failed to deter him. On the contrary, Zhao Zichuan continued to advance, and in the dark night, he was like a flying horse galloping into the sky. Even though there are countless sword edges in front of him, he is not afraid.
"Shoot the arrows!" Meng Yuan's enemy army gave an order. The bow was like a thunderbolt, the wind was howling, and the arrows rained down from the sky, piercing the heart in unison.
Zhao Zichuan's eyes were certain, and the two swords in his hands were raised...... The yellow-green sword light is like a wave fighting back, moving the nine days and casting the swift shadow wind blade, the "back to the front sword slash" is out, and the sword light is like a blade piercing the fence, weaving a net layer by layer. Cut the rain of arrows into two pieces.
The sword wind divided and advanced into each other, densely packed, not only blocking the flying arrows, but also the sword qi dispersed the sword and shield soldiers in the front row to defend against the horse line. Blocking the rain of arrows, Zhao Zichuan dropped his sword and collected the moment, accompanied by the dust and horses' hooves under the dark night, riding a horse into the sky with a neighing, and even people and horses galloping into the sky, that is the invincible flying horse general.
"Flying Zhao Zichuan is killed!" Zhao Zichuan still sounded the body of the charge. Even if he is the only one in the army, his roar can intimidate the enemy for miles. Sure enough, with the roar of the horse's hooves and rushed into the formation, the Mengyuan soldiers were already frightened and scattered, and they had no heart to resist. Throw away your armor and flee.
Rushing into battle and drawing his sword, he will see blood, and Zhao Zichuan flew away with his sword. The yellow and green sword lights in the enemy formation were intertwined back and forth, with the terrible splash of blood and the screams of the dead in the army. Zhao Zichuan single-handedly killed the enemy's bow and arrow array. Crying, screaming. Continuous......
However, these enemy troops had no power to resist, and Zhao Zichuan did not fight more than he loved, and after breaking the enemy's formation, he held the reins of his horse, and with the existing firelight, he headed towards the Jinjun Pass, and the flying horse disappeared into the dark night of the maze again......
On the other side, the main force of Tang Zhan, Lu Jing and the others had already felt under the Jinjun Pass, and as Lu Jing had predicted, his troops were the first to arrive here. Above the pass of Jinjun, the ancient town is guarded, and the terrain is dangerous, which is a place where soldiers must fight.
"Quick, the whole army will enter the town in formation and build fortifications!" Tang Zhan did not dare to slack off at all, and when he arrived at the bottom of Jinjun, he did not stop to rest, but organized the troops to enter Jinjun as soon as possible, and built an impassable earthen wall on the periphery of the highland, so as to wait for the enemy to defend.
The vanguard troops also acted very neatly, after all, there were not many of them. Even if the vanguard army is not as good as 10,000 people, it can stalemate tens of thousands of troops of the Huaibei reinforcements at the foot of the mountain, and when the main force of Chang Yuchun enters the pass to rescue, it can be combined with the outside and annihilated.
However, at this time, no one noticed that the number of troops in the vanguard army seemed to be really small, even if they branched out in five directions, it was a bit too small. As for Tang Zhan, Lu Jing and others still instructing the soldiers to build fortifications, they did not take this aspect into account......
"General, General Li Xian and Li Gong's troops are back-" When the formation was being tightly arranged, news came from the front, and Tang Zhan immediately went to watch as soon as he heard that it was Zhao Zichuan's troops......
Li Xian and Li Gong lived up to Zhao Zichuan's trust, successfully got rid of the enemy's pursuit, and brought the living force to Jinjun, and did not encounter the pursuit of the Mengyuan enemy army along the way. Tang Zhan walked down quickly, running from the position of Jinjun to the front, seeing that the troops of Li Xian and Li Gong were safe and sound, Tang Zhan was quite relieved, but he did not see the figure of the main general Zhao Zichuan, Tang Zhan was a little worried.
"The two generals are back—" Tang Zhan first asked with concern, "How is it, you just ran into an enemy ambush?"
"Yes, General, we met reinforcements from the Huaibei side in the middle of the road...... Li Xian 1510 said, "The reinforcements sent by the Huaibei side are no less than tens of thousands, and if only our army fights hard, it will not be able to intercept them at all...... According to the original plan, seize the dangerous land of Jinjun County, and wait for the main force of General Chang Yuchun to prevail——"
"What about General Zhao?" Tang Zhan didn't see Zhao Zichuan's figure at a glance, and immediately asked intently.
Li Xian knew that Tang Zhan was concerned about Zhao Zichuan, but he was afraid that Tang Zhan would know that Zhao Zichuan's actions had changed drastically, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Li Gong was an honest man, and said unabashedly, "We encountered an enemy ambush at the narrow pass of the middle road, and General Zhao ...... In order to cover the withdrawal of the main force of our army from the pass and rush into Jinjun as soon as possible, he led the enemy to pursue as one person......"
"What did you say?" Tang Zhan listened and asked loudly, his emotions also seemed very excited. Sure enough, Tang Zhan couldn't accept such a fact at all.
"General, don't get excited, General Zhao is brave and good at fighting, and he is blessed with a great life, so there will be no trouble...... Li Xian immediately eased, "If you don't worry, the last general will immediately lead troops to support General Zhao!"
"That's tens of thousands of ambush troops, and there is only one Zichuan brother, how can it be okay?" Tang Zhan began to be a little anxious. Thinking that Zhao Zichuan was facing the pursuit of Meng Yuan's army, it was difficult to fight alone at the narrow mouth of the pass. It's heart-wrenching.
"What's wrong?" Lu Jing, Xiao Tian, Su Jia and the others also ran to the bottom of the mountain at this time. I didn't see the figure of Tang Zhan for a long time, and when I heard that General Li Xian and Li Gong's troops had returned, everyone found here.
Li Xian and Li Gong also told Lu Jing and the others about the general situation, and like Tang Zhan's reaction, everyone was worried about Zhao Zichuan's safety.
"Send troops to rescue immediately, Brother Zichuan must still be alive, but I'm afraid that there won't be much time to hold on......" Xiao Tian said in a hurry.
"But if a large number of troops are sent to the rescue, then the county that has been captured with great difficulty is likely to be ambushed by other enemy forces. We must not lose our minds in order to rescue the Zichuan brothers. And the lives of thousands of soldiers were spared!" Lu Jing said resolutely.
"Then what should I do now, it's not ...... left and right" Now that the various departments of the vanguard army are chaotic enough, and there is no news from Nangong Jun and Murong Fei's branch troops, Tang Zhan is about to go crazy.
"Brother Tang Zhan, don't worry, Jia'er and I will go and save it...... Anyway, there is only one brother Zichuan, and with my and Jia'er's light skills, we will definitely be able to lead the Zichuan brothers to cross the narrow mountain road here-" Xiao Tian said on a whim.
"Don't be stupid, no matter how high your martial arts skills are with Sister Su, it is impossible to deal with thousands of troops. It's also not realistic to climb the mountain roads here with light work...... Moreover, you are now wounded, and you must no longer be in danger alone. No matter what the method of rescuing the Zichuan brothers is, we can no longer separate without authorization, otherwise the forces will be scattered. If we can't take care of many aspects, I'm afraid that we can't wait for General Chang Yuchun's reinforcements, and we will be buried here first-" Lu Jing still kept calm.
"General. There are some problems with the fortifications above, what to do...... "is at this time. The shouts of the guards came from the mountain, and Tang Zhan was anxious about the safety of Zhao Zichuan's brothers at the bottom of the mountain. But I heard the problem that disturbed my mind but had to deal with it.
Lu Jing patted Tang Zhan on the shoulder, tried to calm him down, and then continued: "You see, the brothers in the army can't do without us, we can't ignore thousands of soldier brothers for our own selfishness, I think Brother Zichuan must think the same way, so he took the risk alone, and used the safety of one person to cover the safety of the main force to rush to Jinjun ......"
Under Lu Jing's persuasion, Tang Zhan eased up a little, and before he was about to go back to rebuild the fortifications, he turned back and asked, "I know, I'll go back to it now...... But Brother Zichuan has a way, you can't ignore it, Jing'er, you must find a way to save Brother Zichuan!"
"Don't worry, fool, I'll think of a way!" Lu Jing also replied trustingly, although this time she was not completely sure and confident......
After Tang Zhan returned to the mountain, the rest of the people were still thinking about how to rescue Zhao Zichuan. Li Xian thought of something, after being by Zhao Zichuan's side for a long time, he seemed to be able to know Zhao Zichuan's movements, and then said: "By the way, General Zhao covered us and rushed to Jinjun, and he himself will find a way to escape from the encirclement of the enemy, if he succeeds in breaking through, he will definitely rush here...... If General Zhao has a great fortune, he will definitely rush here, and the enemy army will definitely chase after him, we can meet General Zhao here, and at the same time, we can also take care of the dangerous defense of Jinjun——"
"This is a good way!" Lu Jing also nodded, "If that guy Zhao Zichuan can really break through successfully, we are setting up an ambush, first, to successfully respond, and second, to ambush the enemy army pursuing in the rear-Brother Xiao, and order your troops to form a pocket formation in the mountain pass of Jinjun County to cover the Zichuan brothers to rush back!"
"Got it-" Xiao Tian nodded confidently, and then went back with Su Jia to organize his troops.
"You big idiot, don't die in the wolf pass before you rush back to Jinjun......" Lu Jing said secretly in her heart......
When everyone was worried, Zhao Zichuan was still galloping in the labyrinth mountain road of Wolf Pass. However, with the help of the open fire of the killing array just now, Zhao Zichuan basically determined the direction of going to Jinjun and was driving Pegasus away. Of course, he also knew very well that at the pass to Jinjun, there were already countless Mengyuan enemy troops, and they had set up an ambush at the pass......
"Dada-" Zhao Zichuan didn't say a word, and under the dark night, he could only hear the iron hooves of Zhao Zichuan's flying horse. In order to conserve his physical strength and not fight with the enemy, Zhao Zichuan's Qiankun two swords have been kept in the sheath. But while holding the reins of the horse, Zhao Zichuan's hand never left the scabbard, and when the enemy suddenly appeared, Zhao Zichuan would draw his sword and see blood......
"Huhu-" Sure enough, before Zhao Zichuan could fully breathe and recover, and the road was passed again, and there was a burst of fire in front of him--Meng Yuanfu's army once again blocked Zhao Zichuan's way forward.
However, this time it was not simple, the pass behind Zhao Zichuan, the fire suddenly lit up, and thousands of Mengyuan soldiers also firmly sealed the pass on the back road - it seems that this pass was set up by Xue Qiang's troops in advance, waiting for Zhao Zichuan to fall into the middle of the Weng, this time Zhao Zichuan was surrounded by the mountain road that was like a ring......
Seeing this, Zhao Zichuan temporarily stopped the horses, but his eyes did not change, and he was still ruthless with fortitude and unyielding. From time to time, blood oozed from the corners of his eyes, which was the determination to fight to the end without fear of death, even if he couldn't escape from the wolf pass today, Zhao Zichuan would not be afraid......
However, Meng Yuan's army no longer set up an arrow array as before, but surrounded it for the time being, at least Zhao Zichuan was difficult to break through for a short time. However, after a while, a nine-foot-tall Mengyuan man rode into the battle, and seemed to be the general of this army. This person's long hair is scattered, holding a long knife that splits mountains, and he looks majestic, as if he wants to fight with Zhao Zichuan for a while.
Zhao Zichuan saw the Mengyuan man in front of him, saw that he was able to hold the long knife with one hand, and knew that he had the power of a tiger. In addition, the generals of the army with long hair generally do not wear their clothes, because their long hair will block the general's line of sight, and they are not good at stalemate battles. But this person dares to have long hair and drop his shoulders, which shows his self-confidence, self-confidence will definitely be able to defeat himself, Zhao Zichuan thought to himself that if this person does not have strength, he will not dare to be confident......
Sure enough, Meng Yuan Dahan threw a contemptuous smile at Zhao Zichuan, and then said, "Are you Zhao Zichuan who Lord Xue can't wait to behead him, or is it a descendant of the Song royal family......?" The royal children of the early Song Dynasty were all incompetent, and they couldn't think of what kind of life his descendants could have? What kind of 'Qiankun Two Swords' that shocked Yi Di were all nonsense -- I would like to see today, how capable you, a child of the Zhao family, can be, and how can you escape from the heavy encirclement of a thousand armies alone...... After speaking, Meng Yuan's eyes became a little hideous.
In the face of the enemy's verbal humiliation, Zhao Zichuan was not moved, and in the confrontation on the battlefield, Zhao Zichuan has always done more and said less, and he has real kung fu to see the victory and defeat. Sure enough, Zhao Zichuan's eyes were like falcons, his expression remained unchanged at all, he drove the horse again, the horse's hooves splashed the yellow dust all around, and the whole person galloped forward, Meng Yuan Dahan left, it seemed that he wanted to decide the victory with one move.
Meng Yuan Dahan was not in a hurry, seeing Zhao Zichuan fighting alone and trapped beasts, he wanted to play a few times. I saw that the Meng Yuan general stretched out his hand backwards, and several Meng Yuan cavalry in the rear rushed over in a babbling formation, one by one, as if to block Zhao Zichuan's way.
Zhao Zichuan did not slow down, but accelerated the speed of the riding charge. But what is even more amazing is that Zhao Zichuan held all his hands on the reins of the horse, and did not have the slightest intention of drawing his sword. It can be seen that in Zhao Zichuan's eyes, these Mengyuan cavalry are not worth mentioning at all, but even so, Zhao Zichuan did not show contemptuous eyes, instead, he had a sharper and murderous look, and the killing intent became more and more intense with the acceleration of the riding speed......
"Kill-" The Mengyuan cavalry at the forefront shouted, the Miao knife in his hand had already been raised, and when Zhao Zichuan passed by him, he slashed down.
Zhao Zichuan never had any intention of drawing his sword, and while speeding up his horse, his right hand was already raised......
The two horses face each other, and life and death are in the moment......
"Rub-" The cold light of the knife flashed, Zhao Zichuan immediately lowered his head, and the Miao knife was passing over his head. At the moment of the alternation of the meeting, Zhao Zichuan raised his solid right arm, like a cold iron chain, and clasped the neck of the Mengyuan cavalry, and with the speed of the impact of the flying horse, he pulled the Mengyuan cavalry down with one hand.
"Ahh
"Uhhh......h (To be continued.) )
