From an army of more than 10 million, to more than 5 million, to more than 500,000, and finally only more than 50,000 people are left today...
The shadow of defeat has been lingering in the hearts of the remnants of the rebel army after consecutive defeats!
As Jin Yuantong and other Wufu troops shouted, some rebels actually abandoned their weapons and surrendered, while some rebels fled away, obviously deserters.
At this time, Yang Xuangan, Yang Jishan, Zhao Huaiyi and others did not care to stop the deserters from leaving. They could only grit their teeth and charge forward, not daring to waste time.
Today, the armored military guards led by Yuchi Gong, Luo Wujun, etc. are still chasing after them. If they delay here for too long, the current rebel army will definitely not be the opponent of the pursuers!
"The Emperor's Wrath, the Divine Spear from Beyond the Sky!"
Yang Xuangan took the lead, and the emperor's pressure was overwhelming, making people feel like they were standing in front of a hundred feet of water, and thrust out ancient spears...
"Crazy Ape Strike!"
Jin Yuantong struck out the cooked copper stick in his hand, with the force of a violent ancient ape, but Yang Xuangan missed the target with his spear, and both the man and the horse staggered away. It was obvious that he was no match for Yang Xuangan.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even though Yang Xuangan lost consecutive battles and fled westward in great embarrassment, he was still one of the world's most powerful generals. On the battlefield, there were not many who could withstand Yang Xuangan's charge head-on!
"Disperse! Fish scale formation, guerrilla!"
Zuoqiupu's eyelids twitched. He didn't expect that his first general was unable to stop Yang Xuangan, and was even defeated by one move. He immediately praised his luck.
More than 30,000 Wufu troops (composed of the former Wuhuafu guards, personal guards, etc.) quickly spread out, like fish scales stacked on top of each other, and connected with each other, just like fishing nets spread out to trap the rebels, greatly slowing down the speed of the rebels.
.
Yang Xuangan rushed left and right, invincible and unstoppable. However, he was unable to defeat the Wufu army and escape with the rebels.
Jin Yuantong and Zhu Xiang, two generals of the martial arts, besieged Yang Xuangan, but they only struggled and did not expect to kill or defeat Yang Xuangan.
"Go, go, go..."
During the fierce battle, the sound of dense and heavy iron hoofs flying could be heard faintly, as if even the earth was shaking. This was the momentum created by tens of thousands of iron cavalry galloping together.
"boom……"
Yang Xuangan swung the ancient spear in his hand and forced back the besieging Wufu army. However, Yang Jishan stepped forward and grabbed Yang Xuangan's arm and shouted:
"Brother! Stop fighting. The pursuers are coming. Let's go!"
"Let's go...where are we going..."
Yang Xuangan was startled and murmured as he looked towards the vast sky. The sky was vast, confused and dark.
The sun is approaching, and now these are the only people left in the rebellion. Are there any people who will give up?
"Walk!"
Before Yang Xuangan could think too much, Yang Jishan grabbed Yang Xuangan's arm and forced him to break out. The other guards quickly rushed out.
Jin Yuantong and other Wufu troops are only stronger than ordinary regular troops, and are not elite soldiers. Naturally, they cannot stop the most elite group of people such as Yang Xuangan.
After a while, Yang Jishan led Yang Xuangan to break out of the siege, but there were only a thousand people left around him. The rest were still trapped in the Wufu army's formation, and it was difficult to escape. Nearly half of them had surrendered!
"Hey... let's go!"
He stumbled out of the battlefield. Yang Xuangan seemed to have woken up from a dream. He looked around, then looked at the battlefield where fierce fighting was still taking place, but nearly half of them had surrendered. He let out a long sigh.
"Where to go?" Yang Jishan, a shrewd and wise man, was also confused at this time and asked in a hushed tone.
"Let's go to Luo! No matter what, we will proceed as planned. This is the final agreement! Even if there is an ambush, I...I will accept it!"
Yang Xuangan thought for a while and responded. He used to want to call himself the king, but when he thought of his current situation, he couldn't say it out loud!
"Yang Xuangan, suffer death!"
At this moment, the sound of flying iron hooves got closer and faster, a loud shout that echoed across the world came from afar, and a wave of cavalry appeared in the sky. Looking at a large black shadow in the distance, they rushed towards them.
"Walk!"
Yang Jishan and others trembled, shouted softly, and quickly rode away.
Thirty to forty thousand cavalry rushed to the battlefield. Yuchigong asked Luo Shixin to lead Luo Wujun and Jurong cavalry to stay behind to assist in the battle. He led 10,000 armored guards and continued to run in the direction of Yang Xuangan's escape...
Pass through Dongduyuan and enter Jialu garrison.
Originally, more than a thousand personal guards, guards, and generals were following Yang Xuangan. As they ran all the way, Brother Yang Xuangan took a breath, but found that there were only a hundred people left!
The armored military guards at the rear were indeed in hot pursuit. However, Yang Xuangan and others were small and fast, and the two sides did not engage in battle. Naturally, the remaining thousands of people did not die in the battle, but ran away halfway...
"Go down and take a walk!"
He reined in his horse and stopped, overlooking the sea of reeds and the beautiful mountains and rivers. Suddenly, Yang Xuangan, Yang Jishan and others said something, turned over and dismounted.
"Brother! The pursuers..." Yang Jishan's expression changed and he shouted hesitantly.
Halfway through his words, he sighed secretly and dismounted.
"I... am ashamed of you! You go, if there is an afterlife, I will definitely reward you!"
After walking a few steps and stopping by the Reed Lake, Yang Xuangan turned around, looked at the hundreds of personal guards who were still closely following him, and said bitterly.
After finishing speaking, he took off the money bag from his waist, took out two ancient books, a jade pendant, and the ancient spear in his hand, and handed them to a burly middle-aged man with a full beard and said:
"The enemy's target is me. Take these and divide them. It will be enough for you to live in peace for the rest of your life!"
"Young Master! I, Zhao Dashi, entered the government when I was young. I have been following the Young Master all my life in the Duke's Mansion of the State of Chu, and I have received great favors. Wherever the Young Master is, that is my home. Without the Young Master, I have nowhere to go, so what is the point of talking about my old age?
?”
The burly middle-aged man smiled, without even looking at those things, and responded as a matter of course.
After a pause, he suddenly knelt down on one knee and begged: "I take the liberty of asking the young master to give me a surname. This is my lifelong wish!"
"Go, go, go..."
Iron hooves are like thunder, the pursuers are approaching, and there is not much time left for Yang Xuangan and others!
"..."
Yang Xuangan's mouth trembled several times, then he laughed and said:
"Haha... Okay! I will give Zhao Dashi a surname of Yang, enter it into the Yang family tree, and give him the name Shizhu, Yang Shizhu!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Zhao Dashi was overjoyed, showed a simple and satisfied smile, and kowtowed to thank him.
"Give these to them, it's time to go, there's no time!" Yang Xuangan handed over the things in his hand and ordered.
Zhao Dashi was stunned, but still didn't take it. He turned around and looked at the hundreds of blood-stained figures and dusty faces around him, but saw that they were only looking at Yang Xuangan, not the thing in Yang Xuangan's hand.
Although everyone knows that the thing in Yang Xuangan's hand is the most elite and precious thing of Yang Xuangan and even the Duke of Chu. It even has inherited treasure books, and its wealth is difficult to estimate. However, they don't care...
"Master! No need! Those who will follow you here will follow you to the death. Even if you leave, we will still follow you!"
Zhao Dashi grinned and said happily.
"Why……"
Yang Xuangan sighed, stuffed the things into his arms, turned around, and looked at the vast lake...
The waves are shining, the smoke is vast, the reeds are swaying in the wind, the water birds are playing on the surface of the lake, and the fish are playing at the bottom of the lake. The illusion is beautiful, comfortable and quiet.
This is my burial place!
Turning around, he looked at his younger brother Yang Jishan with a smile and said:
"The situation is over, the situation is over, and there is no way to make a comeback! I can't be killed and humiliated, so you can kill me. Perhaps the imperial court, considering this merit, can spare your life and continue my Yang family's bloodline."
After a pause, seeing that Yang Jishan wanted to speak, Yang Xuangan's face darkened and he solemnly warned: "You can't refuse, this is my last request!"
"Keng..."
Yang Jishan sighed secretly and pulled out the sword from his waist. The clang echoed. The surface of the sword was as clear as the surface of a lake. It was also a sword.
"Let's do it!" Yang Xuangan straightened his body, looked calm, and ordered in a calm tone.
"puff……"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Jishan said nothing. The sword in his hand pierced Yang Xuangan's chest directly, hit the heart, and came out...
Yang Xuangan straightened his body, slowly closed his eyes, and died!
There was still a faint smile on his face.
"Brother...wait for me!"
Yang Jishan hugged Yang Xuangan's body and slowly laid it flat on the ground, murmuring in a low voice.
"Puff, puff, puff..."
There was a dense and continuous sound of cutting with sharp weapons. Zhao Dashi and more than a hundred people said nothing. They cut their necks and committed suicide in silence. They lay on the ground around them, still surrounding Yang Xuangan...'s corpse!
"Why……"
Yang Jishan glanced at the bodyguards and guards who fell to the ground one after another, sighed, stood up, and wiped his neck with the sword in his hand...
"Keng..."
As soon as the sword was raised, a cold light passed by and hit Yang Jishan's palm. The sword flew away and penetrated Yang Jishan's palm!
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Dozens of figures flew by like the wind, and they were none other than Yuchi Gong and eight great monks from Duke Wu's mansion.
After landing, looking at the scene in front of him, his expression froze.
I never thought that Yang Xuangan would end his life in this way and choose his burial place in this kind of place!
It’s quite clean!
With emotion, a great monk quickly followed up, and with his fingers like lightning, he cut off Yang Jishan's pulse and sealed his acupoints, causing him to lose his strength.
"General Yuchi, don't you even want to fulfill this wish?"
Yang Jishan gave a bitter smile, ignored the iron arrow pierced through his palm, and looked at Yuchi Gong and asked.
"This..." Yuchi Gong's heart palpitated and he hesitated.
A great monk kindly reminded: "General! We didn't capture Yang Xuangan, and we didn't capture any important people alive. We have to leave someone alive, otherwise... I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain! It will also be difficult for the Lord!"
"Take off Yang Xuangan's coat, choose a place here, and bury him with these loyal people!"
Yuchi Gong sighed secretly and ordered.
"Thank you, General Yuchi, for your support!"
Yang Jishan sighed secretly and bowed gratefully.
He could understand Yu Chigong's dilemma, and he also knew that Yu Chigong's move was an act of benevolence and justice. After all, he was a minister and could not act on his own initiative.
The sun sets in the west and the sky is stained with clouds.
Shining on the lake, it reflects the colorful light, which is like a dream, and even more shows the purity and beauty of the lakeside!
However, by the beautiful lake, more brilliance is the color of blood!
