Devil’s Advent

Ah Ming chose to run away, and in this situation, the only option left was to run away.

After all, the situation is obvious, it is simply...unbeatable.

Is it not normal to withdraw if you can't beat it?

Cahill also felt that it was normal, and he was afraid that A Ming would abandon himself in order to escape faster, so he quickly changed:

"Oh, Master Ming is right, we are noble blood race, how can noble lives be easily confessed here... oh oh oh!!!!"

In the end, Cahill screamed almost convulsively, and his body began to convulse.

Because when A Ming quickly drew his blood to use as a blessing to his body while escaping, it was so intense and he did not hesitate to do anything.

Fortunately, Ah Ming did not fall directly into the enemy's siege, and it was also because it was in a forest, and it was even better because it was a group of infantry, not a cavalry on the plain.

Although it was unexpected that the running speed of this infantry seemed a bit surprising, Ah Ming managed to escape in the end.

Of course, there are also reasons why the other party doesn't seem determined to arrest him.

Beside a frozen stream, Ah Ming cut through the ice with his fingernails, pulled out the arrow and a throwing knife stuck in his back, threw them down, and washed his wounds with stream water.

Cahill's face was already pale, lying on the side, he had been squeezed dry, his eyes were full of lovelessness.

"cough……"

A Ming coughed and tried to restore some key positions on his body. The rest of the injuries can be postponed. The important thing is that it does not affect his movement.

Standing up, he turned his head and glanced, but there were no pursuers behind him.

"I almost killed him." A Ming said to himself.

Almost, the frontline commander of the opposite Chu State died in his own hands.

Cahill, who had lost a drop, began to gather his eyes,

extremely weak said:

"Thank you Lord A Ming for your... kindness."

This is not irony, Cahill has no guts;

If the level of the forbidden spell had been higher, the scale had been larger, more blood had been drawn, and Cahill would have been sucked out without hesitation at the very beginning in exchange for the strongest blow;

Nian Yao,

Should be dead.

However, there is nothing to regret. At that time, he did not choose this way. It was Ah Ming's own choice. Compared with killing Nian Yao with greater certainty, he was more willing to keep his blood bag for a while, and he was reluctant to part with this bag.

Most importantly, he didn't know that there was a soldier hiding behind the hillside.

It's absurd for him to dig graves and find wine there,

Nian Yao's order not to act without authorization led to his subordinates actually prohibiting them, which is the absurdity of the absurd.

There are too many unfortunate things in the world,

miss,

Also missed.

A Ming bent down and picked up Cahill again. The blood bag is temporarily useless and needs to be kept for a long time.

Cahill murmured:

"Wow..."

He still feels sorry for the many jars of peach blossom wine.

Too,

If you don't feel sorry for wine, what else can you feel sorry for?

Do you feel sorry for Guo Dongpi and others who were left in place and didn't even look at them when they fled?

...

"General, I didn't catch him. The opponent's movement is strange. He doesn't look like a human, but a monster in disguise."

"Monster?"

Nian Yao shook his head,

"I have never seen such a powerful monster, hehe."

Unlike Yan people who only cultivate and breed wild animals, Chu people are more obsessed with domesticating monsters and know more about them.

"Forget it, you can't delay on him, go out of the mountain immediately, and hide here with great difficulty, you can't waste the opportunity like this.

order to go down,

Let everyone take out the posture of running a mountain,

Let Yan people have long eyes,

Look how fast we can run on two legs! "

"The general has orders, advance at full speed!"

"The general has orders, advance at full speed!"

The soldiers began to run fast, their running postures were exaggerated, and their skin color and appearance were also very different from the Chu people in the traditional sense. The Chu people were actually the traditional faces of the Xia people, but these people were obviously not.

In addition, Chu people don't have the most important hair style, and many of them have shaved heads.

This is not a Chu army. Strictly speaking, it is not a Chu army composed of serious Chu people, but a soldier and horse formed by a certain tribe in Shanyue.

The poor mountains and bad waters in the Chu region are the last habitat of the Shanyue tribe. After the regent came to power, with the five princes leading Wutong County to submit to the court, coupled with a series of policies of the regent, the relationship between the Chu people and the Shanyue tribe began to develop rapidly. A fusion is being carried out, either passively or actively.

More and more Shanyue warriors were organized by the imperial court and entered the ranks of the Chu army.

Qianren has done this before, and Lord Zheng Hou also saw the soldiers recruited by Qianren. When Ganren quelled local rebellions, he also liked to use local soldiers.

But on the battlefield of a real big country, the lack of command of the native soldiers is too easy to get ahead, and other shortcomings will be fully exposed. When Zheng Houye first started his business, he relied on the native soldiers of Qianguo to win a lot of heads.

But it is obvious that the "mountain soldiers" formed by the Shanyue people under Nian Yao's command have been trained by Nian Yao himself, which is equivalent to making up for their shortcomings, and their advantages can be brought out as much as possible.

In fact, the real area where Yan people and Chu people fight horses and scouts is in Shanggu County and the Weihe River. This mountain range will look a lot more peaceful, because Lord Zheng Hou walked here in person, and the number of people is less, but he can come here However, it is basically impossible for large-scale soldiers and horses to leave here, because no matter whether they are horses or mules, climbing mountains and wading will be destroyed.

Just like walking into the snowfield in the Tianduan Mountains, the 30,000 soldiers and horses almost exhausted the reserves of Shengle City at that time, and at the same time, they could only stockpile food on the way there. There is no time to transport the piles of grain from here to help.

There is also a reason why Guo Dong's team was arranged here. After all, Xu An took care of his brother and did not send him to the area with the highest death rate.

But who would have thought,

General Nian, who was dubbed "Nian Da Wang Ba" by the world, unexpectedly led less than 3,000 infantry, quietly crossed the mountains and ridges, and really came out from here.

A well-organized army appeared, and after losing the cover of the mountains and forests, it was impossible to remain silent.

Rangers and sentinels spotted them and quickly warned their superiors.

A school lieutenant stationed nearby led more than a hundred cavalry to stop him. The victories in foreign wars all the year round have made the Yan people's army more and more underestimated the enemy. This Yan people's school lieutenant may want to stop Harassment, waiting for reinforcements, but in my heart, I may also have a kind of idea of ​​Baiqi expanding the results of the battle.

After all, did my own Lord Hou create a brilliant record of breaking the city with a hundred riders? The role model is there!

Everyone has greed, but the problem is that he is facing Nian Yao, and Nian Yao's troops this time are obviously unusual.

In the end, the party on horseback was surrounded. Afterwards, only a few knights escaped, and the school lieutenant died on the spot.

For a moment, the rear vibrated.

The headquarters was stationed in the rear, and Gongsun Zhi, who was also asked by Lord Pingxi to be responsible for the defense and vigilance of this mountain range, personally led the army out of the village after hearing the news.

In the meantime, the delay was not long, only one night, but when Gongsun Zhi led the army over, and the other two groups of troops under his command also outflanked and formed a siege net, it was discovered that the Chu army seemed to have evaporated from the world In general, he just didn't catch even a vellus hair!

Gongsun Zhi felt cold,

Right now, there are two possibilities.

One is that the Chu army retreated back to the mountains by the same route;

But this is obviously impossible. How could it be possible to go back in despair after working so hard over the mountains and ridges?

And another possibility is...

They have already run out of their encirclement ahead of time.

Gongsun Zhi clenched his back teeth,

At this moment, what he thought of was not the consequences on the battlefield, but because of his omissions in the arrangement, in the end, he might be left with nothing to eat.

This is the first time that Lord Hou gathered his generals to mobilize troops after the establishment of the Hou Mansion, and it is very likely that he will kill a chicken.

"Order to go down, turn around, order Cui Sheng to go north, and the rest of the ministries to follow me to the west!"

I don't even care if I'm that chicken,

Gongsun Zhi knew clearly,

Now that the army is gathered on the front line, the rear is not without soldiers and horses, but it must be extremely lax.

the most important is,

That Chu army,

She runs so fast!

...

fire,

not yet extinguished,

All around are corpses.

Lord Zheng Hou came to this military stronghold on his armor and riding a wild animal.

This military village was originally a village, but due to the several wars in Jindi, especially in the east of Jin, a large number of people were exiled and robbed. Some places, such as this village, still haven't recovered.

When preparing for battle,

The transportation of food, grass and materials for the army requires strongholds as the support on the route. This village is on this route. On this basis, the military village was established.

There are not many soldiers in the army camp, only about a hundred people, and they are all auxiliary soldiers, not regular soldiers. The number of civilians stationed there is quite a lot, there are seven or eight hundred people.

In addition, there is also a group of civilian husbands who have just completed an escort mission. About 400 people are resting here, waiting for the next round of escort missions.

Now,

In the burnt camp,

Their bodies are everywhere.

Zheng Houye turned over and got off the Pixiu, and glanced around.

Although most of the army village was burned down by the fire, it can still be seen that the defense facilities of the army village are actually very simple.

Rather than saying that this is a military village, it is better to say that it is a post station;

and,

The Chu people attacked at night.

Most of the peasants were asleep, and the outer checkpoints were wiped out by the Chu people, and the Chu people entered here like magic soldiers descended from heaven.

If there are fortifications to rely on, more than a thousand civilians can support it for a long time, but the problem is that there is no.

Therefore, under the night, what happened here was a one-sided massacre.

How could a mob of civilians who have not undergone systematic training be the opponent of the elite Chu army who came prepared, not to mention the opponent's chief general, Nian Yao.

Lord Zheng Hou raised his head slightly and took a deep breath.

The smell of charcoal in the air, along with the aroma of barbecue, can easily cause people's physical discomfort.

At the same time, I couldn't help but think of the night I met when I was a civilian husband.

They are all civilian husbands, but the civilian husbands here are not as lucky as they were at that time.

At the same time, his side was indeed caught off guard, and he didn't rush out to clear the battlefield in time like the princess did back then.

In the center of the military village, there is a pole, which is usually used to lift goods. At this time, a person is hung from it. That person seems to be still alive, but his body is covered with blood.

There were two strong guards who planned to climb up and bring the man down,

Fan Li stepped forward, hugged the pole, squatted down, exerted strength, he pulled out the pole abruptly, and then slowly tilted it.

The guards stepped forward and released the seriously injured man.

Zheng Fan stepped forward and looked at the injured;

He was not wearing armor, his ears were cut off, and two words were carved on his face... Yangou.

This soldier looks familiar.

Lord Zheng Hou couldn't remember who he was, even though he had personally bestowed upon him the "Mo Jin" school lieutenant.

But that's just out of Zheng Houye's bad taste, anyway, in the Dayan Army, there are all kinds of miscellaneous captains, and he himself was a merchant guard back then.

But this person obviously knew Zheng Fan.

He opened his eyes, looked at Zheng Fan in a daze, and immediately opened his mouth and said:

"Hou... Lord Hou..."

Zheng Fan squatted down, seeing that he was about to raise his head, he stretched out his hand to support Guo Dong's neck, and put his other hand lightly on his chest.

"Master Hou... Nian... Nian Yao let me..."

"He asked you to bring me a sentence, say."

cliche drama;

In the ruins of the battlefield,

Leave one alive.

"He He………"

"Don't worry, just say it outright, and then you go down to treat the injury."

"He said………"

"what did he say?"

"You do not deserve."

Lord Zheng Hou was stunned for a moment,

then nodded,

road:

"The Marquis knows."

"The last general, I am ashamed of Lord Hou... The last general, please die."

"Take him down and heal the wound."

"Here!"

"Please Lord Marquis...give him death..."

Lord Zheng Hou ignored Guo Dong's words, and after he was taken away, Lord Zheng Hou stood up.

Behind him stood the blind man.

"How about the loss?"

"Not big."

Zheng Fan nodded.

"In the past, there were actually a lot of grain and grass stored here, because the official road ahead was not repaired, and it was easy to be blocked when it snowed, and the road was difficult to walk, so it was easy to cause siltation here.

A while ago, when the siltation was at its worst, nearly 10,000 people and... a large amount of grain and grass that would have been transported to Zhennan Pass were stranded here. "

Lord Zheng Hou said:

"I've opened my eyes. In the past, I was the one who burned people's food and cut off their backs. This time, it's good. I was educated in reverse."

The blind man nodded and said, "Actually, Nian Yao is the most regrettable thing in my heart. The Chu people's spies should have inquired about the situation here, but when Nian Yao came, he couldn't see the mountain of grain and grass."

because,

The Pingxihou Mansion's operation of this war is really too efficient.

It is equivalent to Lord Zheng Hou saying that he wants to fight,

Oh no,

It's Zheng Houye who hasn't said he wants to fight yet, but the people below are already making preparations in advance.

The main military equipment, food, grass, etc. were transported to the front line of Zhennanguan in advance. When Zheng Houye officially ordered, a large number of civilian laborers were recruited. In fact, most of them were spare parts.

Therefore, after Gongsun Zhi found out that the Chu army had run out of his preset encirclement earlier, he didn't immediately think of this place, because it had become a transfer station, and it was no longer a grain storage point.

"Where's the movement of the Chu army?" Zheng Houye asked.

"Going west."

"Feng Xincheng?"

"It should be in that direction."

"So, do you want to knock on the door?" Zheng Fan asked.

Lord Zheng Hou didn't believe that the Chu army could break into Fengxin City just because of this. Although the house was empty, it wasn't so empty, even if it was Nian Yao who led the army.

Of course, even if the Chu army ran under Fengxin City and swaggered, it would be enough to embarrass him, the Marquis of Pingxi.

This is equivalent to a barbarian running to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion to let the horses go.

"My lord." At this moment, Siniang came over, "You can take a look under that hut."

Zheng Fan walked over.

The blind man also asked Siniang curiously, "What is it?"

"You don't know how to read it yourself?"

"I'm blind."

"At the moment, the Lord is in a bad mood." Si Niang reminded.

Meaning, don't talk too "easy" at this time.

The blind man said indifferently, "The lord can adjust it himself."

At this point, the blind man is very confident in his mastery.

But he was caught by surprise. Nian Yao was still in Jindi, probably to the west, and the pursuers had already started.

How could it be possible that Tian Wujing's closed disciple couldn't bear such a small loss?

But after walking to that shack and "seeing" a row of wine jars under the shack...

The relaxed expression on the blind man's face disappeared, and he began to become serious. At the same time, he used his mental strength to speak to Si Niang: "You shouldn't tell the Lord what you found here."

"Why?"

"Accidents will happen. Dead people and dead people are different."

"He deserves it." Si Niang said.

"That's what I said, but..."

At this time,

Zheng Fan came out of the shed,

asked:

"Has Ming followed?"

"Here we come." Si Niang replied.

Some soldiers went to call for Ah Ming.

Ah Ming's condition is not very good, his face is a little pale, but there is still a smile on his mouth.

He reported before that he almost killed Nian Yao, just a little bit.

"Master, are you looking for me?"

Zheng Fan pointed to the shack behind him, and said:

"Your wine, here."

A Ming swept towards those wine jars, nodded, and walked over, but when he was about to approach, his expression suddenly changed, because he smelled a very familiar smell.

He lifted the lid of the jar,

In the wine jar, there was a dead body, to be precise, it was a human pig, also known as... a human stick.

The limbs were cut off, the eyes were dug out, the tongue was cut off, the nose was flattened, and the ears were pierced.

A real human pig can live for a few days after it is made, but these are relatively rough, obviously made by force, and died long ago.

A row of wine jars were opened, and the corpses were still wearing the armor of the Yan army. One of them was the garrison general here.

A Ming's eyes were red,

Not for being sad, not for being sad,

It's... anger.

On the battlefield, it is normal for you to kill my people and I to kill yours.

But this kind of...

Still in the wine jar.

Zheng Fan turned his back,

road:

"Nian Yao wants to make me angry."

paused,

Lord Zheng Hou said again;

"He succeeded."
