Three Kingdoms

The torches were raised high, and the blazing torches were stacked on the battlefield. The flames swayed, reflecting the black shadows of people fighting and swaying on the mountain. Everywhere where light and darkness struggle, the two opposing sides are fighting to the death.

The shouts of killing echoed in the night, hitting the sky and the earth. The roars and screams were mixed together and spread out, adding ten times more murderous intent to the night!

Bai Que and others had no way to retreat, but instead inspired more will to fight to the death. They could drag a person on his back, and they would not retreat easily even if they were injured. Some people even knocked down a horse thief before they died, and then the two of them jumped from the hillside. Roll down directly.

On the contrary, when the horse thieves faced the counterattack of Bai Que and others, they did not have much thought about exchanging lives for lives. In their view, Bai Que and others were already considered dead. Even if they are fierce now, they will lose their strength sooner or later. , you can harvest easily by then, so why rush in and fight to the death now?

The life of a horse thief is actually not easy. Not to mention the food and grass supplies. The weaponry alone does not look like a base. There is a blacksmith accompanying the army and can be repaired at any time. Even arrows and arrowheads are subject to wear and tear. Now that supplies are cut off, weapons are being used less and less, and many horse thieves are carrying a bow without any suitable arrows.

In addition, there was not much room for expansion on the cliff, so facing the array deployed by Bai Que and others, Pang De did not rush to break through, but only used his hands to compress the space of Bai Que and others step by step.

The bravery of horse thieves is often seen when facing the weak. The weaker the opponent, the more bloody and cruel they will be. And when facing resistance, these horse thieves are not suitable for everyone. They are brave and fearless, and are not afraid of death. After all, they are invulnerable. It's just a myth, you will die if you are hacked.

At dusk, Pang De and his men caught up with Bai Que. Although Pang De did not quite agree with Ma Chao's approach, since Ma Chao was the general, he must obey the order given by Ma Chao, regardless of whether the order was Pound's or not. thought. At this stage, Ma can no longer tolerate any disputes.

However, when Pound faced people like Bai Que, he still admired these men who faced life and death...

"Ling Ming!" Ma Chao also came up from behind. Seeing that Pang De was just standing on the outside and did not directly join the attacking ranks, he couldn't help but frowned, "What are you doing? You are a little thief, why are you waiting so long!?"

Pound didn't argue. He just raised his sword and shield. When he was about to move forward, some bright spots suddenly appeared in his field of vision. "What is that?"

Ma Chao obviously also noticed those bright lights, and quickly realized that this was a formation that was galloping in. And the team that appeared at this point in time, even if it was not Ma Chao's enemy, was certainly not a friendly force, "Zhan Zhan" Kill these thieves! Quick!"

Bai Que also saw the change in the situation, so he stretched out his arms and shouted: "The reinforcements are here! Here! Hold on for a while longer! We are going home!" The remaining people around Bai Que also cheered loudly, and suddenly It felt like the strength in his body seemed to have regained some strength again.

As if in response to Bai Que's words, a whining horn sound suddenly came from the dancing light spots in the distance. The horse thieves who were familiar with this sound couldn't help but feel as if they had been stabbed in the heart and turned their heads. Look at Ma Chao.

The people who used the horn horn to convey orders were either the Qiang people and other Hu tribes, or the Zhengxi soldiers who defeated Ma Chao. At this moment, the Qiang people and other Hu people generally would not travel at night during normal times, so they were far away. The troops coming from everywhere are largely under the command of General Zhengxi...

The light and fire danced in the distance, seeming to reflect a large number of cavalrymen marching to the west, causing Ma Chao's men to start talking and even panic. The Zhengxi Cavalry left a deep impression on them. Those brave cavalry, the tough and sharp armor, the loud noise and horse hooves were all in the hearts of Ma Chao, the defeated soldiers who had fought against the Zhengxi Cavalry. It left deep marks.

"What are you doing standing still!" Ma Chao roared angrily, charging forward with his spear in hand, "Go in! Kill them all!"

Pang De silently stopped Ma Chao and said, "Young Master, I'll do it...Young Master will take the people to the foot of the mountain first. These people and horses are coming with great force and will arrive in a moment. If these people and horses snatch the horses from the foot of the mountain, I am afraid……"

Ma Chao was silent for a moment, then pointed his spear at Bai Que and shouted: "Okay! I'll leave these thieves to you, Ling Ming! Someone is at the foot of the mountain, protecting the war horse, so Ling Ming quickly kills the beast!" Ma Chao He is a thoroughgoing cavalryman, because he has basically stayed on horseback since he was a child, and the marksmanship he has learned is a wide-open and wide-open type. Therefore, when Ma Chao rides a war horse and has room to display, he can use the horse power to collide and accelerate. The performance is very high, but once you get off the horse, your martial arts skills will be compromised. After all, there are many moves that can be easily performed on horseback, but getting off the horse is another matter.

At least on the ground, he relies on his own two legs to move around, and Ma Chao has basically lived on horseback since he was a child. Therefore, his skeletal development is similar to that of Hu people. Ma Chao's two legs have long become " o" type, the ability to change body shape on the ground is naturally much poorer.

Seeing Ma Chao leading his men down the mountain, Pang De silently picked up the sword and the scarred shield, took a few steps forward, and said to Bai Que: "I'm sorry, you are all heroes... But, I will The Lord has an order and you have to obey it! Let’s fight!”

Bai Que laughed loudly and shouted: "Stop talking nonsense and fight if you want!"

Bai Que had been fighting at the front of the resistance team from the beginning. Now that he had a break, he retreated to the back row to catch his breath. The original sword no longer knew when it got stuck on which damn horse thief's bone, and now it's unclear whose blade it was in his hand. He also received two knives on his body, one in the chest and one in the left shoulder. The scar on the chest looked serious, but in fact it was not deep. It was bloody and stained a large area of ​​the chest and abdomen red. For Bai Que, the injury on the chest is not the most serious. What is more serious is the small wound on the left shoulder. Every movement and every slash will pull the wound and cause pain to the bones. But Bai Que There is still no shrinkage and timidity, and the fighting spirit is still high.

Seeing Pang De's invitation to fight, although Bai Que was not weak at all, he did not fall into Pang De's plan.

Pang De did not join the battle originally, he could be said to be a new force, and his strength was still strong. After showing off, he invited the battle, just because Bai Que was the leader. If Bai Que could be seriously injured and his strength was damaged, Killing Bai Que quickly will naturally greatly damage the morale of Bai Que and others, and then it is logical to kill all the remaining people in one go as quickly as possible.

Therefore, Baique avoided Pound's invitation to fight, but rushed to one side to help maintain the stability of the front. Baique knew that as long as reinforcements arrived, it would be victory.

A horse thief brandished a sword and slashed at Bai Que. Bai Que had just chopped down another horse thief. He wanted to turn around to block, but the wound was pulled. He couldn't help but groaned and his movements were deformed. Just when Bai Que was about to be slashed, a Montenegrin veteran on the side rushed over and blocked the sword for Bai Que. However, he was slashed by the horse thief and fell to the ground softly.

Bai Que roared angrily, grabbed the horse thief's arm, and then chopped it off with a knife! The horse thief was almost very close to Bai Que. When he was killed by Bai Que, his eyes widened like a dead fish. He stared at Bai Que, and the blood spurted out also sprayed Bai Que. Face!

The horse thief fell slumped, Bai Que held the sword and panted, raised his eyes, and happened to see Pound looking this way. The two people's eyes met, and sparks seemed to flash out.

"Hold on! The reinforcements are coming soon!" Bai Que grinned and then shouted.

At this moment, the dull sound of horse hooves could be heard faintly, coming from a distance. Even the fighting and roaring on the battlefield could not completely block it.

Although Bai Que shouted this, due to excessive blood loss, Bai Que's legs and feet were still a little weak. He staggered a bit, but was grabbed by the person behind him, and then someone supported him so that he could stand firm.

Bai Que looked back, but it was the always lecherous Ergou. He seemed to have suffered some injury to his chest and lungs. He was coughing and spitting blood from his mouth. Seeing Bai Que looking at him, he could still laugh: " Boss, this... ahem, I'm back to Chang'an... are there any girls..."

"Yes!" Bai Que replied categorically, "When we get to Chang'an, I will pay for it! Find you a good woman!"

"Ahem..." Huang Ergou coughed and laughed, but half of his laughter caused him to cough. He gasped, and then dragged Bai Que back with all his strength, "You said it... just stay back." ! Damn it, who...ahem, who will find a girl for me..."

After saying that, Huang Ergou held up the knife and pounced forward. He cut open the neck of a coder with one knife. From the huge bloody mouth, blood mixed with bubbles spurted out. Without even a cry, he fell to the ground. into the chaos of both sides.

Pound wanted to kill Bai Que as soon as possible, but Huang Ergou and others blocked Pound's footsteps. With their flesh and blood bodies, they pushed the horse thief against the front line. The swords and spears were flying continuously, bringing out It's a lot of blood, taking away lives one by one.

Bai Que watched Huang Ergou helplessly. After killing several horse thieves in succession, he was stabbed through the abdomen by one of the horse thieves. Then the two of them rolled over the edge of the cliff like pieces of meat strung together. Lifted, then fell down...

"Ah..." Bai Que roared angrily, slashed a horse thief to death, and even grabbed another horse thief. Before he could turn the knife to kill him, he strangled his throat tightly, using him as a shield to hold him back. He went to resist the sword and gun in front. Even so, he still had two more wounds on his hands and legs. Under the pain, Bai Que gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength. He actually strangled the horse thief to death, and then pushed hard, causing his body to fall. He bumped into the crowd of horse thieves, creating a small gap for him to breathe.

However, this time, the little breathing time did not allow Bai Que to feel that he had recovered much physical strength. After fighting so far, Bai Que had exhausted almost every ounce of energy in his body. The constant blood loss also made Bai Que feel dizzy and felt Everything around me seems to be spinning constantly, and everything is falling, falling, until the endless abyss...

Whatever, that’s it.

Bai Que staggered and was about to fall.

I have tried my best. If the people from Zhengxi come here, I still hope to take my bones back and bury them in the Han Dynasty's homeland, in my hometown...

In Bai Que's thinking, which had become a little slow, he seemed to feel some noise, but at this moment Bai Que didn't have much energy to open his eyes to check.

"Sure enough, it's the people from the Zhengxi expedition!" When the group of people in the distance got closer and closer, and when they could finally see the flag clearly, the horse thief suddenly panicked, "It's the people from the Zhengxi expedition!"

Pound used his shield to deflect the slashed sword, and then cut his opponent down with a single blow. When he looked back, his eyes passed over the few remaining Black Mountain soldiers, and he found that the figure of the commander he was originally staring at was already there. disappeared from the battlefield.

"Are they dead?" Pang De looked at the Zhengxi troops who were almost approaching the bottom of the mountain and shouted, "Hurry up and clean the battlefield! Let's retreat!"

Cleaning the battlefield does not just mean simply picking up some suitable weapons or other things, but using knives and guns to poke at the corpses lying on the battlefield one by one, so those who want to install weapons on the battlefield To die, one is to pray that the soldiers who attacked did not hit the vital point, and the other is to make sure that he does not move or scream when he is stabbed...

The hoofbeats of war horses are getting closer and closer like muffled thunder, just like the power brewing between dark clouds on a sultry summer afternoon. Ma Chao sent a messenger to climb up on hands and knees and shouted: "Go down the mountain! Come down the mountain quickly! The people of the Western Expedition are almost here! If you don't leave, it will be too late!"

The fire in the distance became more and more obvious, and the three-color flag of Zhengxi was also jumping in the fire. The scales and weapons reflected the cold light in the firelight, indicating that even though this group of people were not veterans of the Zhengxi soldiers, they were still elite troops different from ordinary soldiers.

"Quick! Quick! Withdraw!" Pang De didn't bother to patrol the battlefield again. After a brief inspection, he hurriedly led the men down the mountain, then joined Ma Chao and ran away.

Almost moving forward and backward, Xu Huang and his people arrived at the foot of the mountain after Ma Chao and others left. Looking at the already silent mountain, Xu Huang was silent for a moment and sighed in a low voice. Sorry, I'm late. After all, I'm still a step too late.

"Come on, go up the mountain... and see if there are any survivors..."
