Chapter 150: Unexpectedly, the danger is encircled
The spring is cold, and many places in the Western Regions are still covered in silver.
This time, many of the people of the Five Elements Banner who accompanied Zhao Yu to help Guangming Ding had been to the Western Regions, and they could be regarded as old horses. After leaving the customs, they were equipped with sleds and other things, and the march in the snow was extremely fast, and in two or three days, they overcame the distance that usually takes four or five days to complete.
The Western Regions are sparsely populated, and a group of nearly 1,000 people in this vast world also looks incomparably small. Zhao Yu didn't dare to disperse his forces anymore, and his group drove straight to the first line of the Kunlun Pass, and they didn't know where the four-faction coalition army had arrived at all.
Because of the Heavenly Eagle Sect with unknown motives, Zhao Yu did not dare to enter the foothills of Kunlun Mountain rashly, so he notified Yang Xiao to respond with a pigeon letter.
On the afternoon of the second day, Yang Xiao, who was dusty, led more than 100 people to the Five Elements Banner camp outside the first-line gorge. The sadness on his face deepened, and it was obvious that the six factions besieging the Bright Peak had brought him a heavy burden of pressure.
Seeing Zhao Yu's first face, Yang Xiao said coldly: "You must eliminate all evil! You have led the army and horses to conquer the world for so many years, and you still don't know this truth? Chuzhou Iron Cavalry besieged Shaolin, a once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity, how could you be willing to let it go lightly?"
Seeing that they had traveled thousands of miles to help, and when they saw the first Yang Xiao, they reprimanded the chief flag envoy, and their faces were full of anger. Tang Yang snorted even more coldly: "Yang Zuo, let's do things in the Five Elements Banner, it's not your turn to ask! Now is a good time to eliminate evil, the various factions have been isolated in the Western Regions, if you don't let go of your hands and feet to fight, what does it mean to shrink to the top of the light?"
Zhao Yu knew that Yang Xiao would be sad to death if he said good things in his mouth, and he was worried that the atmosphere would be stiff again. Then he said: "At this time and that time, Yang Zuo should stop worrying about the past, the most important thing now is to discuss how to annihilate all the allied forces of all factions in the Western Regions!"
Yang Xiao was ridiculed by Tang Yang in person, and he was annoyed in his heart, and when he heard that Zhao Yu wanted to annihilate the six factions, his face suddenly turned grim, and he muttered: "If you come with tens of thousands of military horses, you may still be able to annihilate the six factions." But with the power in our hands now, we still have to defend the Bright Peak, and the fewer people we can use. At most, you can kill a few leading figures. What are you talking about?"
Zhao Yu told the story of the severance of the back road of the Yumen Pass, and said: "Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and regardless of the driving force behind the scenes, each faction will go on an expedition." If you know that the back road is cut off. It is bound to be turbulent. Take advantage of this opportunity. Let's chase all the way, break through each one, and there may not be no chance of success!"
Hear this. Yang Xiao's expression became solemn, he pondered for a long time, pulled Zhao Yu to no one's place, and said with a straight face: "If you can do this, I will support you to ascend to the position of the sect leader! If this sect is divided again, it will be harmful and useless, your skills, and the deeds you have done over the years, all surpass these old guys in the sect, it is obvious to all!"
Zhao Yu frowned and said, "At this time, what are you going to do when you talk about these battles of will." Zuo makes your concerns are also reasonable, if the power in our hands wants to annihilate the six factions and many gangs in the rivers and lakes, it is still not enough. At the moment, the most important thing is to ensure that the forces of this sect in the Western Regions do not fall into mutual attack again, and work together. Yes, have the Aquila cultists ever been to Kunlun?"
When Yang Xiao heard this, he was slightly stunned, and said in surprise: "The Heavenly Eagle Sect is also here, but I don't know about this, the attack on the Kunlun Sect failed, and now the Kunlun Sect is contacting the martial arts people in the Western Regions to kill the scattered sect members." In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, I have withdrawn all my men to the top of the light and hold on, and I know nothing about external affairs!"
After Zhao Yu heard this, his mood became worse and worse, so he told the Heavenly Eagle Sect about its abnormal behavior.
Yang Xiao's face was gloomy, and after listening to it, he sneered: "Yin Baimei is getting older and more confused, his apostasy is already a big crime, could it be that he still has a plot against the sect leader's throne?"
Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "The Eagle King may not collude with foreign enemies, but I suspect that his son should have some secret agreement with Shaolin." No matter what the Sky Eagle Sect had in mind, they arrived early but couldn't hide it, and it was a hidden danger after all. Yang Zuo has a great responsibility to make you sit in the Guangming Peak, so I will lead a group of people to look for it near Kunlun Mountain, and by the way, clean up the martial arts people who are tangled in the Kunlun faction. ”
Yang Xiao refused: "I and these people from the Five Elements Banner are tired of each other, so it's better not to see each other." You go to the top of the light, I am more familiar with the terrain of the Western Regions than you are, so I will go to find that Yin Baimei and ask him what kind of heart he is!"
Zhao Yu smiled bitterly: "If I sit on the top of the light, it will make people's hearts stir, because I have already taken the position of the sect leader." When the time comes, don't say that the six factions will be annihilated again, and we will fight first. If you are really incompatible with the Five Elements Banner and are sure to hold the Bright Peak, I will order them to be stationed at the foot of the mountain, and there will be no more battle of will now!"
Yang Xiao pondered for a long time before he said: "If you are still fighting for something at this time, let them go up the mountain." Although I am sure to defend the top of light, it is not good to keep your men out. ”
After Zhao Yu and Yang Xiao discussed for a while, he turned his head and instructed the people of the Five Elements Banner to follow Yang Xiao's dispatch orders after they went to the top of the light, and they must guard the top of the light without loss. Although the people of the Five Elements Banner were not convinced, they were used to acting under military orders, so they all agreed.
Subsequently, Zhao Yu took Tang Yang and Yan Yuan to select more than 20 elites of the Five Elements Banner, plus Yang Xiao selected more than a dozen disciples of the Four Sects who were familiar with the geographical situation of the Western Regions, and then took Liu Jiang of the Poyang Gang, and then set off to the desert. Although Zhou Zhiruo still wanted to follow Zhao Yu, but now that the Western Regions were in crisis, Zhao Yu categorically refused this time and forced her to go to the top of the light with the team.
Everyone searched for two days on the left side of the first line gorge, but still did not find any trace of the Heavenly Eagle Sect, Zhao Yu was not surprised by this, and he had already learned the lesson when King Yin Ye's march and camp. As long as it can be determined that the Aquila Cult is not hidden near the top of the light, it is not bad news.
In the past two days, they found that a small group of Middle-earth martial arts people had begun to appear nearby. Zhao Yu grabbed a few people and asked, only to learn that the coalition forces of various factions were not very familiar with the path of the Western Regions, and the Kunlun faction agreed earlier had lost contact and had been lost in the Western Regions for several days.
Hearing this news, Zhao Yu couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, he could only say that the heroes of the rivers and lakes acted really heroically, and they dared to run thousands of miles with these tricks, but they just poked the pain of Mingjiao, and the trend of the times was almost a catastrophe!
On this day, Zhao Yu and others saw twenty or thirty Jianghu people fighting with a team of more than a dozen Ming Christians wearing religious robes from a distance on the sand dunes. At that moment, he led everyone to kill them, and it only took less than a quarter of an hour to kill these people in the rivers and lakes. And there were only six or seven Mingjiao left, all of them wounded.
After Zhao Yu asked, he learned that there were originally more than 200 people in this group, all of whom were local sectarians in the Western Regions, who rushed to help Guangmingding. Fighting all the way, only these few are left here.
Seeing the miserable appearance of the surviving people, Zhao Yu couldn't help but sigh. He could see that although this group of people was quite proficient, their martial arts were not very good, but they were enthusiastic and fearless of death to rush to help the general altar, and their ambition was really commendable.
Seeing that these people were no longer able to move, Zhao Yu ordered his entourage to divide two and take them to Guangmingding, while his party dug a pit on the spot and prepared to bury these corpses.
Suddenly, a cloud of smoke and dust rose in the distance, and not long after, more than 50 people rushed out from behind the smoke. Zhao Yu was about to step forward to ask the comer which way it was, but he saw Liu Jiang, who was sitting on the ground all the time, with a look of surprise on his face. Seeing that the speed of the people coming was very fast, and it was too late to leave, Zhao Yu quietly stretched out his hand and pressed it on Liu Jiang's back, and his strength suddenly vomited. When Liu Jiangzheng was surprised, he was caught off guard and immediately cut off his heart pulse, and his seven orifices bled to death.
Without spinning, the group of people had already rushed to the front, pointing at Zhao Yu and the others and shouting, "Which way are you guys?"
Zhao Yu hugged Liu Jiang's corpse and said loudly: "You are from the Kongtong faction? We are the Jiangxi Poyang Gang, and we came all the way to help the fist, and just now our Liu Gang leader was beaten to death by a master of the Demon Sect......"
A tall old man with a hunched back jumped out of the crowd, he approached, and saw a mess of corpses, among which there were many Ming disciples in religious robes, and glanced at Liu Jiang, who was bleeding from the seven orifices, sighed, and said, "It's a pity that this hero's life has been lost." What about the Demon Cult Demons?"
Zhao Yu lowered his head and said, "They saw a large group of people coming, and they had already fled first. Thank you heroes for saving our lives, but, it's just that our helper is ......"
As he spoke, his voice choked up.
The tall old man frowned, and said, "What are you crying about!" Liu Jiang was loyal to his master, and he was determined to eliminate demons and defend the way, and he died a well-deserved death. I am your leader's master Bozong Weixia, since Liu Jiang is dead, you should follow behind the Kongtong faction. In a few days, I will kill the Bright Peak, kill more demons and demons, and avenge your helper!"
Zhao Yu and the others were busy and nodded yes.
That Zong Weixia led the Kongtong Sect to stand aside and wait for Zhao Yu and the others to bury all the corpses before leaving for the road. Kongtong sent everyone to have camels to walk, although they deliberately slowed down, they still gradually distanced themselves.
Zhao Yu glanced at everyone, followed them, and prepared to find an opportunity to annihilate this group of Kongtong sect members.
After nearly two hours in the desert, there were people coming and going, and before a suitable opportunity could be waited, an oasis loomed in front of them.
That Zong Weixia turned around and saw that although Zhao Yu and his party were out of breath, they could barely keep up, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, and said: "Liu Jiang is still good, although he has taken the opportunity to kill the enemy, he always brings a group of tough and useful men." ”
The oasis is several miles in circumference, and you can see many heavy tents in the distance, and many Jianghu people with swords come and go.
Zhao Yu and Tang Yang and the others looked at each other a few times, knowing that they and the others should have arrived at the camp where the various factions gathered, and they became more and more cautious at the moment, and followed the Kongtong faction into the oasis with their heads down.
Zong Weixia was quite concerned about the help that this group of people brought back unexpectedly, and called a disciple of the Kongtong faction, and he led Zhao Yu and his party to the outskirts of the Kongtong faction's residence to set up camp.
The subordinate Five Elements Banner is still down, but many people in various factions know Zhao Yu, taking advantage of no one to pay attention, Zhao Yu grabbed a handful of dust and wiped his face, wrapped his coat tightly, and lowered his felt hat, not daring to look around. At the moment, there are only about 30 of them, but there are several elites gathered in this oasis, and if they are seen to be flawed, they will definitely not be able to fight their way out of the encirclement.
As he was walking, there was a sudden shout from behind: "Stop!"
Zhao Yu turned his head and glanced at it, and saw several monks in silk striding over, two of them were vaguely familiar, they should have been seen a few times during the siege of Shaolin.
While he was secretly complaining, the monks had already walked up quickly, and one of them said coldly: "Who are you? Pull up your hat and take a look!" (To be continued......
