"What the hell is going on?" Yin Youyi stared at the opponent's strict formation for a long time, and then yelled, "What the hell is going on! Where is General Zuo's army? Didn't he send a signal!? "
"Let's go back the way we came." Ba Xingtian made a judgment instantly, "Give me the order, the rear army will become the front army, and I will cut off the rear -"
"Report!" Before he could finish speaking, a captain hurriedly interrupted him, "Sir, a large number of troops from the High Kingdom appeared on the valley road, and they are still erecting horses and roadblocks!"
"So the baggage brought by the other side is not to build a camp, but to intercept us?" Yin Youyi opened his mouth in confusion, "They already knew that we would come over from Pozigou?"
"Wake up!" Ba Xingtian yelled, drawing everyone's frantic attention to him, "There are only 20,000 enemies, and they are surrounded by four parties. There must be weaknesses! If you are trapped at the intersection, you will die. Fight to the death to break through. , there is still a glimmer of hope!"
"But... where should we break out?"
"To the east is the road to Qiguo. They can't let us go easily. To the north is the vast swamp. I guess the other party won't stick to this road. And ahead is Baixi Lake. If there is good water, we can be there later. I will not hold you accountable for jumping into the lake and escaping by yourself!" Ba Xingtian took a deep breath and said loudly, "Everyone, listen up, this battle is very likely to be your last battle. But no matter what, we must break through this road. The defense line is for nothing else but to bring this news back to Leizhou Mansion!"
"If we all die here, it will be a meaningless defeat, and the world will only blame our border troops for their incompetence!"
"But if someone can go back alive, everything Zuo An, a thief, will not be covered up! Think about it, when others poke our spines and scold us, the murderer behind the scenes is living in peace and contentment. Can you bear this tone? "
"Sir, I can't bear it..."
"Absolutely intolerable!"
"Sir, we have to fight back!"
The soldiers shouted one after another, and soon became a wave.
"Yes, betrayers should die a good death! And only by rushing out can we have a chance for revenge! Everyone obey my order, go north, and then return to Leizhou! Even if you have to crawl, you must crawl out of this dead place!"
"Go back to Leizhou!"
"Go back to Leizhou!"
Ba Xingtian waved his hand, "Blow the charge horn!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
Following the loud sound of the trumpet, this army of two thousand people rushed into Gao Guo's invisible military formation.
The lakeside was boiling.
…
When night falls? The sound of fighting finally faded away.
Ba Xingtian didn't know how many people's heads he had chopped into pieces, and several of them were alchemists. Fudo Myojin is broken again and again under the constant blows? Until he no longer had the strength to perform new Gen techniques.
At first, there were adjutants and soldiers following him? But gradually, they were chopped down and stabbed to death one by one? Until there is no one around.
It is unknown how many soldiers escaped from the desperate situation.
Hopefully Baixi Lake can hide their whereabouts.
When Ba Xingtian dragged his almost numb body for several miles and confirmed that there were no more enemies following him? I found a big tree and sat down slowly.
An arm was cut off? Nearly a hundred inch-long wounds all over the body? The blood dripping out almost covered his clothes.
Although Gen Shu is unparalleled and extremely suitable for battlefields where flesh and blood are everywhere, it is not invincible. It is a miracle in itself to be able to break through the encirclement under the encirclement and suppression of troops several times larger than our own.
But want to walk through the swamp with this broken body? Detour back to Leizhou Mansion from the north? I'm afraid it's already getting even more difficult.
Suddenly, a faint sound of trampling came from the darkness.
I saw a man wearing a burqa and a hood slowly walking out of the shadow of the bushes and stopping in front of Ba Xingtian.
Ba Xingtian subconsciously wanted to take the sword, but when he stretched out his hand, he realized that his weapon had been abandoned during the breakout process.
The other party looked at him for a moment? Then he said in a low voice, "Ba Xingtian... General?"
"Exactly." He spat out blood? "Who are you?"
The visitor opened his hood and revealed his face, "Suzhou Fei family, Fei Nian."
Ba Xingtian was silent for a while, then he chuckled, "I guess you're not here to save me."
"That's right." Fei Nian nodded, "My mission is to ensure that you die on the border."
"Honorary words? Ha... There's no need to be so hypocritical." He let out a long breath, "It turns out that all this was planned by the Privy Council... I thought that the family hated the Privy Council from the bottom of their hearts, but I didn't expect that you would get involved. when."
"No, the family does hate the Privy Council House, and what I have done has nothing to do with the Fei family. As for you..." Fei Nian paused, "You are the guardian of the Privy Council House, and you should be respected. It's a pity that your existence has hindered it. On our way forward, your persistence cannot keep up with the evolution of the times, which is why there is such a disgraceful scene."
"If I still have the strength, I will definitely tear your mouth in half!" Ba Xingtian spat disdainfully. The overly intense emotion made him cough violently. After finally calming down, he gasped and said ,"What are you waiting for?"
"Do you have anything you want me to tell you or any unfulfilled wishes?" Fei Nian pulled out the long sword at his waist, "As long as it's within my ability..."
Upon hearing this, a figure suddenly appeared in Ba Xingtian's mind.
He almost tried his best to push the name back into his heart.
Finally, he sneered, "Isn't General Zuo safe and sound?"
"Of course he will soon follow your path."
"In that case, I have nothing more to say."
Feinian nodded, "Everything will be over soon, I promise." When he finished speaking, blue flames suddenly appeared on the sword blade - and then he raised the sword and swung it down.
The sword flashed, and Ba Xingtian's hot blood wet the roots of the tree.
…
It should be over there, right
Zuo Anxin looked uneasily at the border of Qi State on the map - he knew that the trap he had set must not be leaked, so the last line of defense that prevented Ba Xingtian from returning to Leizhou Mansion was the majority of his troops.
A whole night of waiting kept him sleepless, and it was not until dawn broke that he breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, no matter how brave Ba Xingtian was, he could not break through an interception ten times his own with two thousand men. No one came from the west for a whole day, which only meant that this army was completely wiped out in a hundred The creek and lake area.
"Pack up the barracks and prepare the troops to return home." Zuo An ordered.
"yes!"
Then he rolled up the map and looked at Eunuch Liu aside, "Is this okay?"
"You have done a good job, General. His Highness will reward you." The father-in-law said with cupped hands.
After returning the gift, Zuo An walked out of the tent.
Without Ba Xingtian, he alone has the final say in the Leizhou frontier army. This is both a great opportunity and an arduous responsibility. To be honest, without the instruction of His Highness the Crown Prince, he would not have wanted to send his colleagues to a dead end. After all, with Fudo Mingshen sitting in charge, the pressure on Leizhou Mansion would be much lighter.
But he also secretly heard that His Majesty's physical condition was not very optimistic, and that His Highness the Crown Prince might board the Dabao at any time. He didn't want to leave an unflattering impression on the other party at this time.
The lesser of two evils.
What's more, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also has his own considerations.
"General, the sentry found a cavalry approaching us from the west!" Suddenly, a soldier came forward and reported.
"What, cavalry?" Zuo An was startled at first, and then became furious, "Where did the Gaoguo border army get the cavalry? Who is the reporter? Are you blind?"
As for the Ba Xingtian troops he was most worried about, it was even more impossible.
But the soldier showed hesitation, "The other party's attire does not seem to be that of Gao's troops."
The more he talked, the more absurd he became. Zuo An pushed the other person away and rushed directly to the nearest bamboo sentry tower in the camp, where he put his forehead on his head and looked to the west.
He saw smoke billowing on the horizon, and countless black shadows swooping down from the hillside into his field of vision. Regardless of the momentum or the speed of movement, it is indeed not something that soldiers can do with their legs.
When the other party got closer, Zoan could hardly believe his eyes.
Almost all of the opponent's cavalry were wearing black armor, with longbows and quivers hanging on their backs, and the lances in their hands had crescent-shaped scimitars on the heads. This equipment was undoubtedly the elite cavalry of the Xu Kingdom. If he remembered correctly, the unique lance was made by Gongshujia and was called the Half-Moon Sickle.
The problem is that Xu State and Qi State are not in contact with each other. How did they appear here
What about Gaoguo? What are the Gaoguo border troops doing
When these armored black cavalry lowered their scythes and began to charge in groups, Zoan slowly turned his head, looked at his subordinates below who were waiting for orders, and swallowed.
"...Leizhou is in danger."
