Li Panlong leaned tiredly against the base of the city wall, with a blood-stained sword lying quietly across his knees. Updated soon without pop-up window pure text-words\The sharp blade gleamed brightly in the sun
of light, while his master remained motionless for a long time like a corpse.
Too tired, he was too tired.
Both armies were like gears on high gear, moving tightly in their respective directions and turning inexorably. All they squeezed out was red blood.
"General..." The Army Sima, who was hanging by one arm, walked slowly to Li Panlong's side. After a feeble cry, he squatted down at the corner of the city wall. Smells of stinking blood were still flowing along his battlefield.
The armor drips down drop by drop——
Opening his eyes, Li Panlong did not turn his head to look at his subordinates. He continued to look straight ahead with his dull eyes, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "At night, when it is night, we will retreat. Retreat to the back.
After closing the door, let the brothers have a good sleep."
"One sleep is not enough. Now I can sleep for only one day and one night."
For several days and nights, the non-stop fighting almost exhausted all the physical strength of the soldiers of the Hedong Army in Beicheng. The large number of casualties made Li Panlong unable to help reduce the number of defenders at the city head, from 1,500 to 1,500.
One thousand two hundred people, and then one thousand people. From two groups of organizations taking turns to go into battle, to only two groups of people, and finally not even two groups of people.
The current total strength of Beicheng is only a little over 2,000, and after deducting the wounded, the number of combat-ready soldiers has slipped past 1,800 and toward 1,770.
Hu Qi's casualties were even greater. Of the 20,000 horses that were driven into Landu, I don't know if there are still 10,000 people who can pull up the sword. But so what if the casualties are so huge? Hu Qi has a large chassis base. They continue to have
Five times the manpower of the Hedong Army. Game of Different Worlds Jianghu 802
Moreover, as the defenders became exhausted, the strength of the enemy and ourselves did not become stalemate or increase, but rather shrank extremely.
With 1,780 Hedong Army soldiers exhausted, the real combat effectiveness may not be as high as the 1,000 Hedong Army soldiers at full strength. Coupled with the damage and consumption of many city defense equipment, Li Panlong no longer wanted to lose the level, and he was unable to fight anymore.
.
Everything will have to wait until tonight!
Night has come.
However, Li Panlong didn't feel happy at all. Looking at the more than twenty corpses in front of him, he burst into tears. He silently walked closer and knelt down. There was an unspeakable feeling in his heart.
pain.
The army retreated at night. Beicheng did not keep this news secret. In the afternoon, Li Panlong ordered someone to tell the whole army.
Moreover, at dusk, the existing carriages in the city carried many military supplies and wounded soldiers, together with the people in the city, evacuated the north city first and retreated to the south entrance.
Li Panlong's plan was to "go into battle lightly" when the main soldiers retreated. Without the burden of civilians and wounded soldiers, the soldiers could walk easily.
In the dark night, Hu Qi couldn't continue to pursue him. The road to Izumokou was not very smooth.
However, there is one issue that Li Panlong did not consider thoroughly, and that is - what to do with the wounded soldiers and the wounded after the civilians left?
The fighting did not stop. The main force of Hu Qi was just accumulating strength and building equipment, while the smaller troops were still having fun shooting back and forth with the city defenders.
So at night, Li Panlong once again had a group of wounded soldiers.
After dark, Hu Qi's offensive slowed down a bit. At this time of day, Hu Qi had to prepare a lot of torches and dry firewood for the night battle. But just when he could breathe a sigh of relief and begin to retreat, Li
Panlong was told by the doctor accompanying the army that some of the wounded... committed suicide!
It can be found out that the first Du Bo who committed suicide was a veteran who had followed Zhu Biao during the Zhongshan War. Not wanting to drag down the army, he first cut his own neck with a knife...
Li Panlong didn't know how to describe his psychology at this moment. According to the military regulations of the Hedong Army, the living person must not be abandoned! As long as he still has breath, he must be carried up. This military regulation has strengthened the Hedong Army a lot in the past.
The cohesion of the army. The Game of Different Worlds 802
But the wounded are a burden. There is no doubt about this, and everyone knows it. As long as they are admitted to the sick camp, it is better to have carriages and horses to carry them when advancing and retreating. If not, as at the moment, one person will have to waste at least two manpower.
This was to commit suicide in order not to hinder the speed of the troops. Every such soldier was the most loyal soldier of the Hedong Army. Later, Li Panlong learned that there were two more nursing homes like the one in front of him in the city, and they committed suicide in total.
There are as many as seventy-three people.
Pain, pain, heartbreaking pain
Li Panlong clenched his hands so tightly that he dug his nails into his flesh without realizing it. Blood flowed from his knuckles, and Li Panlong's eyes turned blood red without knowing when. When the pain was piercing his heart, a kind of violent blood became more intense.
The surge in his heart was like a volcano about to erupt, with hot lava waiting to erupt at any time.
This is an anger that can only be extinguished with the blood of Hu Qi.
It was night, and there was a huge fire in Beicheng.
Flames soared into the sky. The raging fire circled upwards, illuminating the entire night sky above Izumokou North City in red!
All the remaining kerosene in the inventory was now used. As the fire burned, the two thousand remnants of the Hedong Army, full of anger, quickly retreated towards Nancheng.
…
"Push it down, push all the fireballs down!"
Dozens of miles out of the narrow passage of Yinshan Mountain, on the top of the mountain where Gao Xie personally led the troops, the grass and vine balls sticky with oil, and filled with withered grass branches, had now turned into huge flame balls, burning blazingly.
At the top of the mountain.
Gao Xie roared loudly while still paying attention to Hu Qi's marching speed.
The loose formation at the foot of the mountain and the unsuspecting Hu cavalry army were really like a fat pig on the chopping board.
It's a pity that he himself is a small knife. Even if the fat is placed in front of him, he can only...
With a secret sigh, Gao Xie carefully watched the rolling flame balls one by one.
One piece of this thing can reach a person's chest, and it is four or five feet high (Han ruler). The vines outside are all dipped in kerosene, and the withered grass and branches inside are filled with kerosene and sulfur.
Waiting for the 'poison', it is definitely something that can be easily absorbed.
It is very strong, with branches supporting it inside, and the weight is not very heavy. It looks big, but in fact it only weighs less than a hundred pounds.
And because the materials are all made of vines, dead grass, branches and the like, and the shape is round, this thing is a little bit elastic and can run very far. It rolls down the hill and jumps all the way regardless of the terrain.
If there were restrictions, he would definitely be able to get away a long way.
Wooden poles were lit on the fireballs one by one. With a slight exertion, dozens of fireballs rolled down the mountain. It was like the hot magma spewed out during a volcanic eruption, and the sound was terrifying.
"Come again!" Gao Xie continued to shout...
In this time difference, he made a total of nearly 300 fireballs on the top of the mountain. As long as they rolled down the mountain, sparks would fly within a hundred feet of the mountain. Hu Qi, even an iron man, would be cut in two with a knife!
"Kill -" After the fireball was released, Gao Xie waved his weapon and guided the entire army down the mountain from the south, avoiding the burning front. Those who had already passed the top of the mountain suddenly turned around and dismounted from their horses to go up the mountain from the north.
Kill Hu Qi.
More than a thousand Hedong Army infantry attacked the severed tail.
In the narrow mountain road, infantry versus cavalry, even if the number of the latter was large, the battlefield was a complete massacre. Gao Xie was killing wantonly, but in his heart it was a pity that he had little strength. This time he could only use a small amount of oil.
Xu Buguo at the rear was shocked. Was there an ambush by the Han army in the narrow passage?
For a moment, I felt hesitant in my heart, not knowing whether I should immediately lead the troops to reinforce, or whether the whole army should quickly retreat and exit the narrow passage!
However, people in the Xubu Kingdom still had a shred of consciousness, and knew that even if they retreated back to the outside of the mountain and stayed at the southern foot of the Yin Mountain, they would still end up dead.
Shi Zhulan failed to capture the north city of Izumokou. He and Huduchu Lintongdan and others failed to capture Pingchuan and Shanyang. It can be said that the purpose of sending troops this time failed to achieve one of the objectives, and they could not contain Zhu Biaohe's Eastern Army at all.
The convergence of the main force and the territory.
By the time Zhu Biao's large army retreated into Hedong territory, even if a hundred thousand troops were stationed between Yinshan and Hedong territory, they would not feel at all safe.
Xu Buguo calmed down and immediately ordered his troops to kill in the narrow passage.
Chaotic groups of broken soldiers ran past the mountain. It was not until Fu Tong, who was wounded by an arrow, led the remaining cavalry of less than two thousand to fight. Then it was Wei Yan's turn, and the five thousand Shu army spread their wings to suppress the formation. Now it is also
There are only more than 3,000 points left.
At this time, a loud shout sounded above his head.
"Put--" a voice roared.
"Rumble..."
A simple word, but the meaning is clear. On the top of the mountain, a total of seventeen iron pulleys were lined up in order, making a roaring sound, roaring towards the Huqi team rushing down the mountain...
The Army Sima then led his infantrymen to kill downwards.
Just like Gao Xie, he also avoided the main force of Hu cavalry in the north and concentrated on killing the tail of less than a thousand people behind.
Two thousand miles southeast of Yanran Mountain is Hedong. Zhu Biao's team has now walked less than half of the way. But as the snow slowly melts, the speed gradually increases. From the original day, it could not travel more than a hundred miles, to
The daily mileage is now close to 160 miles. The gain is quite significant.
But the snow melted and the road became muddy. Zhu Biao didn't want to walk back to Hedong in a mess in the mud. Now he had already urged the team to speed up.
The characters on the tokens, iron scrolls and statues have all been deciphered in the past few days. Except for the square tripod, all the ghost scripts have been transcribed into Chinese characters.
There were a lot of Hu noble ladies among the prisoners. Although not many of them recognized Gui Fangwen, they easily picked out dozens of them. They were divided into different groups and asked them to look at each other. Then they were separated and isolated in different carriages, and they behaved obediently.
Each and every one of them translated the ghost text with great care.
Zhu Biao is confident that these noble ladies who cherish their lives and are afraid of death dare not play tricks and seek death on their own. However, they are still 'comparable' from beginning to end. To ensure the authenticity of the translation, there is no need!
"Dangdang..." In addition to the large tripod under Zhu Biao, the large square tripod weighing one thousand two hundred and ninety six pounds. The text on it seems to be similar to the ghost script, even if it is, it is not the ghost script. These noble ladies
None of them knew anyone.
They only said that this big tripod was called Baoding and that it was one of the treasures used by all the great chanyus when they succeeded to the throne. They knew nothing else about it.
One thousand, two hundred and ninety-six pounds!
Zhu Biao was speechless as he listened to the word "Baoding". He only saw the ancient and vicissitudes of this tripod, and the few strokes of the pen, but the artistic conception was far-reaching, with the relief of a "meaning to express a shortcut" artistic conception, and a
The weight of one thousand two hundred and ninety-six kilograms implies the number of "one yuan". Even an idiot knows that this tripod is a precious tripod.
Perhaps only Wuji, or the Dalan clan, knows the secret.
Although Zhu Biao was happy with the other twenty or thirty skills he had obtained, he consciously told him that among the items he had captured, this square tripod should be the most precious.
…
Yuzhou, Wuyang County.
A caravan looked at the city gate with interest. The speed was not very fast, but Yang Yuanfeng was not in a hurry. Because he knew... he was safe.
The disguise pill on his face is enough to make even the most familiar people unable to recognize his face. Even if he can shorten his body by shrinking his bones, he can walk around openly in front of the government office and no one will realize that he is
A major criminal on the bounty list.
"It's been a bumpy ride. My back and back are sore." Lao Zhang, one of the stewards in the caravan, smacked his lips and said, "We finally entered the city, Mu Shan. Once we get to the city, we need to take a good rest."
"No problem. But you have to drink less." Yang Yuanfeng said with a smile. His current pseudonym is Mu Shan. "The last time you drank with me in Tongjiang, when we were on our way, we couldn't ride a horse anymore and could only lie down alone.
You were in the truck, and you were drunk and crazy. We spent a lot of effort to take good care of you, this drunkard."
"Hey, I had a great time drinking that day. This is the best drink I have in my life." Lao Zhang chuckled, "But Mu Shan, your drinking capacity is also very good. My drinking capacity is already very good, you and I drink one cup at a time.
Come on, you drink just as much as I do. I drink like a puddle of mud, and you don’t even feel the same."
"Lao Zhang, that means your drinking capacity is only average, and it's not as good as Mu Shan." A bald man with a dark face said with a smile.
"Bald man, are you a better drinker than me? Let's try it and see who gets down first?" Lao Zhang said with a glare.
"I won't make trouble with you, a lunatic." The bald and black-faced man smiled.
Yang Yuanfeng feels very good spending time with these vendors these days. This is a life different from his past, ordinary and small, but fulfilling.
The business of these vendors is not big, and they are always exposed to wind and rain. They are also often faced with the threat of robbers and robbers in the green forest. In fact, it is a hard life. Even if they are not deprived of food and drink, they are considered a luxury compared to ordinary people, but they are still suffering.
It’s a lot, and the risk is huge. If you’re unlucky, not only will you lose your money, but your life will also be lost.
But each of them has a high-spirited enthusiasm, which can be said to be full of vitality.
Yang Yuanfeng liked this feeling very much. When Wuyang County arrived, it was time to say goodbye, and he felt... a trace of nostalgia in his heart. He forgot about the world, forgot about the burden, and felt relaxed - it was so good.
"Let's all disperse here. An hour later, we will gather at the gate of Xicheng. It's too late, we can't wait any longer." A shout rang out.
"Hello!"
"Brothers, let's go have a drink."
"Let's go, Hu Laosan is treating us."
The vendors and guards dispersed in groups according to the usual delivery schedule. Yang Yuanfeng left with Lao Zhang and the others in a group of six.
"Look!" Lao Sunlian, who was next to Lao Zhang, shouted, "In front, what are so many people gathering there in front doing?"
"Hey, there are quite a lot of people. Let's go and have a look." The bald man's eyes also lit up.
Traveling everywhere and visiting eight places, the vendors will be most lively.
Yang Yuanfeng also curiously approached the others. To disguise himself as a 'businessman', he had to look like a businessman. He should act like businessmen and don't act alone. This way he would not be conspicuous.
"One thousand taels of gold?"
"Ten thousand taels of gold? Brother, give it to Nian Nian. I know someone who has the money."
As soon as Yang Yuanfeng and the others approached, they saw a group of people shouting and shouting.
"Damn it, if I catch Wei Feng and Qi Qiuyu, wouldn't I be prosperous and wealthy for generations to come?" Excited voices came from the crowd in front, and many people gathered around.
Yang Yuanfeng frowned when he heard the names 'Wei Feng' and 'Qi Qiuyu'.
He immediately squeezed into the crowd with six other people, trying to get to the very end to get a clear view.
"Don't squeeze!"
"Squeeze your ass." Some people who were pushed away cursed.
But there was no point in scolding, more people joining in the fun squeezed in. Yang Yuanfeng was able to squeeze in easily.
"Reward document!" Yang Yuanfeng saw an official document posted on the wall at a glance. On both sides of the wall, there were two police officers wearing six-doors. It was obvious that no one was allowed to destroy the official document.
I immediately understood in my heart. It turned out to be what is commonly known as the bounty list in the martial arts world!
He looked carefully——
"Wei Feng, thirty-seven years old, was formerly a famous knight of the Righteous Dao and a prodigious swordsman. Now he is found to be a member of the evil cult of the Infinite Dao...
Good at swordsmanship and proficient in hidden weapons...
The internal air is released and the wind and sand are billowing, which is green.
This person is very vicious and cunning. If anyone discovers him, he can notify the local government offices. Once it is confirmed that he is Wei Feng and the news is true, he will be rewarded with one thousand taels of gold. If anyone can capture Wei Feng alive, he will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold!"
Except for Wei Feng, Qi Qiuyu, Gong Wuhui and other Infinite Dao 'fish that slipped through the net' were all listed on the list, and Yang Yuanfeng was no exception. It was the first time in his life that he entered the top ten of Infinite Dao's wanted list. Reward
Gold is one thousand taels of gold, and discovery and disappearance is three hundred taels of gold.
In addition to detailed descriptions of the wanted person's martial arts, the list of articles naturally includes portraits of people.
Yang Yuanfeng only felt sad in his heart now. Fortunately, he was different from before when he came out and had put on a full disguise. Otherwise, he might have been stabbed.
Look at the portrait on the list. If Yang Yuanfeng had taken off his disguise and compared the two, anyone except the blind would clearly recognize that they are the same person.
"Damn traitor——" He cursed fiercely in his heart.
Except for people within the Infinite Way, who outsider can write down everyone’s faces in such detail?
"Damn it, ten thousand taels of gold." Voices came from the side one after another, "The highest reward offered by the imperial court before was only fifty thousand taels of silver. The imperial court is really trying to dig up the roots of the immeasurable path!"
"If you cut the grass without eradicating the root, it will grow again when the spring breeze blows. If I were the imperial court, I would also eradicate the root to prevent future troubles."
"It would be great if I knew where Wei Feng and Qi Qiuyu were and found a way to capture them."
"Just daydream, why don't you go and kill Gong Wugui? No matter life or death, it's much easier than capturing him alive! It's a pity that he is a martial arts master, a congenital master, and he can kill ten or eight of your boys with just one breath.
.”
"That's all, I don't want to think about this anymore. It's more important that I invite people to Hedong!" (To be continued...)
