Chapter Ninety-Four: The Storm
Xia Yu slashed through the flames all the way to his face, and ran towards the periphery, the Zhangba snake spear in his hand was like a spiritual snake, constantly passing through the surrounding Huaxia soldiers, only to hear the sound of "poof", those Huaxia soldiers fell with the wind like scarecrows, revealing a fist-sized blood hole in their chests, bubbling hot blood outside.
Xia Yu's bright eyes were filled with a monstrous murderous aura, and the clothes on his face were stained with hot blood.
I don't know if Xia Yu was too fierce or Xia Xuehan deliberately let him go, after Xia Yu killed more than a dozen people, no one dared to come forward again, he held the Zhangba snake spear obliquely and killed all the way, and the Huaxia soldiers all dodged to both sides, leaving him a way.
Xia Yu quickly killed out of the flaming camp and rushed into the woods alone, and after a desperate battle, he couldn't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, and he couldn't figure out which direction his soldiers were going to kill.
"Xia Xuehan, I don't share the sky with you!"
Xia Yu looked up to the sky and shouted, a snake spear pierced into a big tree that one person couldn't hug, only to see that the tree was stabbed through, Xia Yu's arm was forced, only to hear a "click", the big tree stopped and broke.
Xia Yu drew his spear and rode forward, but before he rushed out, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, Xia Yu's body shook for a while, and he almost fell off the horse.
I didn't even see Xia Xuehan's face, I was so embarrassed by him, and now I am alone, what should I do.
I wanted to be full of pride at the beginning, and I wanted to cut off Xia Xuehan's head to ask the emperor for credit, but now it seems how ridiculous it is, people didn't show up at all, and they only killed themselves in the curtains.
How ironic, Xia Xuehan didn't regard himself as an opponent at all, and disdained to make a move.
Xia Yu looked at his tattered clothes that were almost strips of cloth, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, and a drop of crystal dripping from his resolute face actually flowed down, slapped the horse, and rushed into the dark jungle, disappearing......
The words were divided into two ends, just on the fourth day when Xia Xuehan arrived at Yangping Pass, a secret letter had been placed in the imperial study of Chang'an Xia Lang, Xu Ci was waiting carefully beside him, he had always been good at observing words and feelings, and he found that Xia Lang's face was terrifyingly gloomy.
Ever since he finished watching this secret recital, Sharon's face was so gloomy that he could almost drip water.
"Bang!"
"Whoa!"
Xia Lang punched the dragon case, and the tea bowls on the table couldn't help jumping, and they all fell on the dragon case, and the tea flowed all over the table.
"The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry, don't be angry, take care of the dragon's body!" Xu Ci hurriedly walked over to wipe the table, and Xia Lang became more and more angry with a sycophant look.
"Xia Yu, a blind and arrogant fool, does not weigh his own weight, how can he be Xia Xuehan's opponent, if he loses the 150,000 army, Xia Xuehan will inevitably march west with his army and horses, and attack the land of Longyou in one go. If you really get to that step of the field, then Chang'an will lose its barrier, which is equivalent to installing a nail in the place of my henchman, and I will be restless!" Xia Lang let out a long sigh and leaned back on the dragon chair, as if his spirit had been drained.
Xu Ci trembled and said: "Then why didn't Your Majesty personally lead a team of soldiers and horses to the rescue, only Your Majesty can defeat Xia Xuehan!"
Xia Lang shook his head and said abruptly: "It's late, now I rush to Yangping Pass, it will take four days at the earliest, and I can't save the 150,000 army at all, I can only rush to Longyou as soon as possible, hoping to make amends." ”
"Xu Ci!"
"The old slave is here!"
"Spread my message, order the three generals of wind, thunder, and lightning to set out to march to the sky to ride 150,000, and march out of Guguan in a hurry, according to the three counties of Lintao, Tianshui, and Longxi, and the ten generals divided their troops to guard the roads leading to Wushan, Minxian, and Gangu towns, and there must be no loss. As long as these six places are guarded, Xia Xuehan in the land of Longyou will not want to get involved, and I will then go to meet them in person!"
"The old slave commands!"
The Zhengtian Rider is one of the three famous horses in the world, and it is the most elite force in Great Xia, and only the Zhengtian Rider can compete with the Cold Shadow Rider.
Xia Lang let out a sigh of relief, looked at the carved gold and jade-inlaid beams and pillars, and muttered, "Xia Xuehan, this time you were caught off guard again!"
The deep eyes seem to be covered with a layer of mist, making people lose themselves at a glance, and they can't figure it out in this life, Xia Lang stood up, his handsome face was still shrouded in cold, this time it was a contest with Xia Xuehan about time, whoever took the lead could make the other party fall into a situation from which he could never recover.
But now that I have lost a move, I am afraid that it will take a lot of trouble to recover.
However, it was said that Xia Yu's deputy general Cao An led the remnants of the soldiers to rush out of the flaming camp, Cao An looked back and saw scattered soldiers behind him, mostly with gray heads and dirty faces, clothes and armor hanging crookedly on their bodies, and even helmets and weapons did not know where to go, panicking like a lost dog.
"Come on, count the number of military horses!" Cao An waved his sleeves to wipe away the sweat on his face, and said tremblingly.
After a long time, I heard a partial general say: "General Hui, now we only have more than 40,000 people, and less than 1,000 horses......
"What!" Cao An jumped up in surprise like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, "How come, an army of 150,000, how...... Why are there only so few people?"
The general raised his eyes and glanced at the frightened Cao An, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "The general doesn't know, just that fire broke half of the people, and ...... Moreover, many people died in the pursuit of the Huaxia army, and there were also ...... There are also ......"
"Say...... Say...... Go down!" At this time, Cao An's legs and stomach were trembling, and when he saw the twisting and pinching of the general, he was even more angry.
"And ...... Some soldiers took advantage of the chaos...... Escape...... escaped ......" The general couldn't help but shrink back, for fear that the general would be angry and cut him down.
Who knew that Cao An was not angry, but just wiped a cold sweat and said: "Xia Xuehan is not something we can deal with, and it is normal for them to flee in fear." ”
Only then did the general become more courageous, took a few steps forward, looked left and right, and said, "General, what should we do now, otherwise, we will ...... too"
Who knew that Cao An suddenly changed color, kicked the general in the stomach, and kicked him out of the way, but the general just held his stomach and twitched on the ground, and couldn't get up again.
A chill rose in Cao An's heart.
Run, joke, it's better to die on the battlefield.
This is not to say how loyal he is, on the contrary, he is still a person who is very afraid of death, but he has a master who makes people not have a trace of defection.
I still remember that two years ago, when he went out to China, a general was defeated and absconded, fled to the capital of Daliao, and threw himself into the palace of a powerful official in Daliao, but he was still arrested by the emperor within three days.
The general's whole family, young and old, "tasted" eighteen kinds of torture with him, and he was tortured for three days without losing his breath, and the emperor also specially "gifted" all the generals above the fifth rank to "watch" together.
Cao An still remembers clearly now that the youngest one was only a two-year-old child, and the child's mother begged bitterly, knocking out her brain, but the child's human skin was still peeled off.
And the child, who had no skin but still breathing, was hung outside the noon gate until he died.
It was just a two-year-old child, who couldn't even walk steadily, and couldn't speak clearly.
Everyone who went to see them was awakened by nightmares from time to time for the next month, and even if they were on the battlefield, the least number of killings was measured in hundreds. But as soon as you close your eyes, you can see the bloody scene, making your vest break out in a cold sweat and your legs weak.
Since then, Great Xia has become the least rebel general among the Three Kingdoms, no, there should be no more generals who defected, and it is often seen that when the Great Xia generals were defeated and surrounded, they killed themselves with horizontal swords.
Later generations did not know the truth, and many wrote poems and articles to praise the loyalty and martyrdom of the Great Xia generals, and the image of loyalty to the country was regarded as a flaunt by later generations of loyal ministers.
Cao An was naturally an eyewitness to that torture, he was afraid of death, but what was more terrible than death was that life was better than death.
Suddenly, there was a thunderous shout of killing in all directions, and the flamboyant Huaxia military flag could be faintly seen among the dense forests and leaves.
Cao An stumbled, but fortunately he was able to stabilize himself by holding on to a tree, and a flag officer ran over and gasped: "General, countless Chinese troops from all directions are surrounding!"
"What...... What, that...... Then what do you say?" Cao An was originally a person who didn't have many ideas, and when he heard this, his head was even more messy.
"General, my subordinates have just seen that there are the least Huaxia sergeants in the west, and we may be able to break through there!" the flag officer hurriedly replied.
Cao An's face recovered a little brightness when he heard this, he pulled out his sword and said, "Okay, according to what you said, order the three armies and General Ben to break through from the west!"
The flag officer hesitated for a moment and asked, "What about ...... And what about the marshal? He hasn't come back yet. ”
"Where can I take care of the marshal now, he is so powerful that he will definitely be able to escape alive, let's take care of ourselves first!" Cao An replied casually, and urged the flag officer to pass the order.
The army of Great Xia rushed out less than a mile with Cao An, and the originally clear and clear night sky had gathered dark clouds at this time, and the shining stars in the sky and the bright moon exuding clear light were all obscured.
The wind roared, the leaves were shaken, and the black clouds in the sky were getting lower and lower, and they were about to fall to the ground.
Huaxia's soldiers are still chasing after Cao An, and the soldiers under Cao An are constantly falling, and of course, there are those who don't know the sky and the earth and take advantage of the chaos to escape.
Cao An and they broke through to the west, I don't know if it was deliberately arranged by the Huaxia army or seeing that this group of remnants of the army was defeated, the attack was too fierce to temporarily avoid the edge, and the Huaxia army retreated after only a few blows.
Cao An and the others had just rushed out of the heavy encirclement of the Chinese army, and suddenly a dazzling electric light illuminated the sky and the earth, and then a thunderbolt pressed down from the top of their heads, making people's legs numb and shocking people for a long time.
Immediately, lightning fell from the sky like purple arrow feathers, and the night sky drew a broken line, with the power of opening the world, and it was sunny for more than half a month, and Tiangong seemed to want to vent to his heart's content tonight.
"Smack!"
A drop of rain the size of a bean hit Cao An's helmet, and the crisp sound made Cao An shiver, and then, the rain in the sky poured down as if he had received some order.
The wind chases the rain, the rain chases the wind, the wind and the rain unite to chase the dark clouds in the sky, and the whole heaven and earth are in the rain. The wind swept the torrential rain like countless whips, and struck the Great Xia soldiers fiercely, and the horses were frightened, and no longer obeyed the call, and rampaged through the jungle
Cao An had to give the order to abandon his horse and flee on foot, "Damn, it was so hot a few days ago, why did it rain at this time, it's really fucking dead!" Cao An couldn't help but scold.
Indeed, the rain became heavier and heavier, and in less than half a burn of incense, puddles were formed in the hollows of the flat ground, and the water splashed everywhere under your feet, and the soil was soaked in water so softly that it sank into a depth of more than a foot as soon as you stepped on it.
It's okay to walk in front, but the Great Xia soldiers who walk behind don't have a place to put their feet at all, the rain is still pouring, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and the muddy water is almost as high as the legs.
Cao An walked forward with a deep foot and a shallow foot, the rain accompanied by the storm whipped on the people's faces, it hurt, and there were soldiers falling in the mud, if someone helped them, they might be able to save their lives, but now everyone is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and it is difficult to protect themselves, where is there extra strength to manage others.
So thousands of years later, people still remember the most comical part of this battle, many of the Great Xia soldiers were "drowned" in the mountains and forests!
The stagnant water is too deep, and after falling down, you can't get up for a while, and you are poured into your mouth and nose by the stagnant water, how can there be any reason not to be drowned.
"Kill!"
In the glorious heavenly power of the storm, lightning and thunder, the soldiers of Great Xia also faintly heard countless military horses rushing towards them, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing were almost as fierce as the wind and thunder in this heaven and earth.
Cao An wiped the rain from his face, and by the light of lightning, he vaguely saw the Chinese soldiers rushing over the mountains, all of them wearing robes and hats, as if they had expected a storm.
Cao An's eyes were dark, and he almost fell down directly, but the general next to him supported him, pointed to the front and said: "General, there is a valley in front, let's go in and take shelter from the rain!"
Where can Cao An take care of so much, he broke free from the partial general and ran towards the valley, followed by the twenty or thirty thousand soldiers who collapsed in Great Xia, and then the elite who came from Huaxia prepared.
However, a big net has already been laid in the valley of no return ahead, waiting for them to get in, and the heavy rain is majestic tonight, and the 150,000 troops of Great Xia will definitely go without returning this time......
