There were two options at this moment, one was to order the soldiers to dismount and flee in all directions towards the thorny and grassy wilderness to the south. Because the long grass there is dense with thorns, and there are many hidden ravines and ditches, it is terrain that cannot be walked on horseback. But after dismounting, you can still climb and climb over it. After all, people are flexible, even if they scatter along the ravine, they can escape the range of the miasma and make it impossible for the other party to chase them. The other party only has such a small number of people, how dare they dismount and rely on manpower to chase and kill?

The second option was for them to rush over and break away from the rear road blocked by more than 100 people. You can easily get out of the approach of toxic smoke. After all, the poisonous smoke will become thinner and thinner, and with the rapid diffusion, it will all be dissipated after a few miles.

Obviously, the first option will not be used, and if the first option is used, it is tantamount to giving up the war with the opponent and the purpose of the trip. The other party didn't need to chase and kill their own soldiers and horses, they only needed to kill all the discarded horses before they could leave. His own soldiers and horses have become infantry, so how can he catch up? In fact, I wish that the other party would show up, and just recoiled to kill the opponent and break through the passage. He still has more than 1,000 people on hand, and he certainly has a reason to do so.

"Kill, kill them all. They only had more than a hundred horses, and they slaughtered them all. The degree drew his long sword, swung it in a half circle in the air, and roared loudly.

"Kill!" The Praetorian Cavalry also knew that they had to rush through the passage immediately, and the poisonous fog behind them was getting closer and closer, and they could not hesitate any longer. They rushed with spears and halberds in their hands.

On the trail behind, the elephant-trunked knights took out the crossbow arrows from behind in unison, and after a loud shout, the crossbow arrows buzzed and burst into the flesh, and the dozens of Praetorian Guards who rushed in front fell to the ground instantly, and the men and horses rolled against the turf, lifting the gravel and grass clippings and flying in the air.

But this did not stop the Praetorian Guards from charging, and the cavalry in the rear rushed on their corpses, and they were met by another bolt of crossbow arrows. After the crossbow bolts emptied the magazine, there was no time to reload the arrows, because the opposing cavalry had already rushed in front of them. An elephant-trunked knight on a black horse rode forward, facing a Praetorian cavalry with a spear on the other side, his body flashed flexibly, and after dodging the spear that stabbed at him, the Mo knife in his hand made a half circle from top to bottom on the side of the horse. As a rain of blood was thrown into the air, the opponent was cut in half by him and his horse. The corpses of men and horses fell beside him with a puff, flesh and intestines gushing out, and the stench of heat was still bubbling.

"It's a good trick to fish for the moon. The handsome man is so powerful. The elephant trunk knights beside him cheered loudly.

"Less nonsense, don't kill me yet." Wang Yuan, who was wearing a gas mask, shouted loudly, and the Mo knife in his hand swept, and the head of a Praetorian Guard cavalry who rushed in front of him flew into the air.

The Praetorian cavalry rushed desperately, and the personal cavalry blocked head-on. The two sides fought together on a narrow mountain road. Because the mountain road is narrow, it can only accommodate one or twenty horsemen to fight side by side, so even if the opponent has thousands of cavalry, it will not be able to give full play to the numerical advantage of the charge. What's more, they are facing the elite of the elite, the thousands of selected Shence Army personal guard cavalry. Not only is the equipment and weapons too much more than the opponent, but the combat experience and own ability are also beyond the opponent's expectations. The other party formed a formation with a strange sword, blocked by layers of barriers, and with more than a dozen people with high martial arts skills cruising and killing on the side, there was no possibility of breaking through at all.

Comparing the height of the blade of simple armor, the opposing cavalry also used spears to stab, and the length of the weapon did not suffer. But in terms of power, it is too much worse. These are even pierced to the other party. Under the protection of Mingguang Armor, the most he can do is to let the tip of the iron spear pierce into it for a few inches, so that the other party will suffer some minor injuries. Unless it is pierced in the face, throat and vital places, the other party can be seriously injured or killed. But that requires a lot of luck and precision. On the other hand, the Mo knife guarded by the Shence Army is extremely sharp, and it is suitable for stabbing and slashing, and the opponent's chain mail is completely useless under the Mo knife. With a slightly greater strength, the Mo knife swept through, absolutely breaking through the armor and flesh, causing huge trauma. If you have more strength and better skills, you can directly split it in half like Wang Yuan, causing the terrifying effect of blood raining down.

It is impossible to suppress the superiority of the opponent's troops and horses several times, and to charge and give full play to the superiority of equipment and combat power, which is the reason why a small number of soldiers and horses form a situation in which one man is the one man and ten thousand people are unable to open up. What's more, the mentality of both sides is very different. The other party is in a hurry to escape from the poisonous miasma that is quickly enveloping, but Wang Yuan's Shence army is not afraid at all, they are wearing elephant trunk gas masks, they just want to delay the time until the poisonous miasma covers the battlefield.

In a short tea time, the Dragon and Tiger Praetorian Guards cavalry rushed to kill without interruption, giving more than 300 lives. Three people were killed and more than 30 were wounded. The casualty comparison is simply incredible. But this is the end of the casualty figures of the Shence Army, because the poisonous miasma has already shrouded the battlefield in this tea time. Although the miasma has faded a lot, the discomfort in the eyes, the numbness of the mouth and tongue, the stinging pain in the skin of the facial features and the huge psychological fear caused by these symptoms are all bargaining chips that make the opponent collapse.

After a moment of poisonous smoke enveloping the battlefield, countless cavalry began to ride their horses and rush towards the long grass in the ravine to the south, intending to get out of the range of the suffocating poisonous smoke. The war horse roared and rushed into the large field of thorns and grass beside it, and in an instant, the horse's legs were blurred by the flesh and blood of the thorny thorns that were one person high. The horses jumped and knocked the soldiers off their horses, causing them to roll into the thorn bushes and suffer the baptism of thorns.

There are also war horses that rush left and right among the thorns, and their bodies are pulled out by the thorns. But after rushing through the dense thorny grass, they will suddenly stumble and fall into the deep ravine that has been washed by the rain for many years. These ravines are narrow and shady, hiding under the thorns and barren grass, and once they fall into it, they will get stuck in them, and they can only cry in vain.

Degree's mind was blank, and at the moment when the poisonous smoke poured in, Degree sensed that the end was coming. He knew that he couldn't escape to the thorny wilderness next to him, so he chose another way, which was to flee to the nearby hillside. With his mouth and nose covered, he rode his horse towards the northern hillside, above which there was a cedar forest, and he planned to rush into the forest so that he could have a chance to escape.

However, his idea was correct, but the miasma did not give him a chance, and the dry cloth could not stop the poisonous smoke from invading his body. As he rode up the hill and dismounted, he crawled lifelessly towards the cedar forest, his heavy breathing caused him to inhale more poisonous smoke, and he soon fell into a state of vertigo. His hands and feet were so numb and stinging that he could no longer grasp the rocks and vines, and he could not fight on the hillside at all, so he fell down with a grunt, and his body rolled down like a ball, and rolled back into the battlefield where people were turning on their backs.

The last impression of the degree is that a huge horse's hoof is trampled down on his temple. He subconsciously moved his arm to block, but his hand only lifted half and fell. The sound of a horseshoe smashing through the skull of his temple sounded like a muffled thunder in his mind, and after that he lost any consciousness and fell into darkness forever.

The war ended soon after the smoke of poison enveloped the battlefield. Originally, there were still seven or eight hundred enemy soldiers alive, but after the poisonous smoke swept away, the battlefield was overturned. When the breeze blew away the poisonous smoke, the roads, under the hillsides, and the thorny ravines beside them were almost all the unconscious, rolling, wailing enemy troops lying on the ground, and the war horses lying on the ground and in the ravines with long neighing.

Wang Yuan and others took off their heavy elephant trunk gas masks and hung them on the saddle. Everyone frowned and looked at the scene in front of them, even the guards of the Divine Command Army, they couldn't help but be afraid. This battle was not so much a victory for the Divine Guards, but a victory for the Poison Miasma. This kind of thing is too domineering, in a way more vicious and inhumane than sword killing.

The enemy soldiers on the ground had red and swollen eyes with yellow water, their mouths open, their swollen tongues wriggling, and they let out ahhh The skin on their hands and faces is covered with pustules, which make the scalp tingle. Even Wang Yuan and his personal guards, who are accustomed to seeing the bloody wind and the tragic situation on the battlefield, can't help but feel that they are testing in their hearts.

These miasma poisons are in fact basic chemical weapons. In that year, the Nanzhao Kingdom used miasma to defeat the crusading soldiers and horses of Jiannan Province and killed tens of thousands of Nanzhao soldiers. The first thing Wang Yuan did after taking over the crusade was to create a gas mask. Without a gas mask, the crusade against Nanzhao may not be victorious. These miasma are so vicious and ferocious, fortunately, the yield is not high, and it is very difficult to obtain, otherwise the Nanzhao people are afraid that they will dominate the world.

"Dashuai, give them a good time, they can't live. Those who are alive are also blind and ulcerated, their bellies are swollen, their skin is ulcerated, and they will all die for a year at most. General Ah Shui stepped forward and said softly.

Wang Yuan gritted his teeth and nodded: "That's it, give them a good time." The corpses were carried into the ravines and buried with dirt to prevent them from being bitten and destroyed by wild beasts. ”

Wang Yuan rode his horse to the side of the slope and stood still, quietly watching his guards kill the enemy soldiers who were in pain. There is an indescribable taste in my heart. Anti-personnel soldiers are an extremely immoral act that will be despised by the world. But at this moment, Wang Yuan felt that every time a scream sounded, every time he killed a wounded soldier, he felt better in his heart, more like a relief.

Wang Yuan secretly made up his mind that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely persuade Ge Luofeng to prohibit the collection of miasma, this thing was too evil and terrifying.

Half an hour later, the battlefield was cleaned. The crowd remounted their horses and hurried forward. At the foot of the mountain ten miles ahead, more than a dozen guards drove dozens of war horses to stop and wait in front. In order to confuse their pursuers, they serve as bait to lure their opponents forward.

Xuanzong rested in the long grass with the support of Zhang Dequan and Xiao Shanzi, and the three of them poked their heads out of the grass like grass chickens in the field to look around. Seeing Wang Yuan and the others galloping over, Xuanzong hurriedly asked in a trembling voice, "Wang Yuan, what's wrong with the chasing soldiers?" How many people are chasing? ”

Wang Yuan said quietly: "Fifteen hundred people, they have all been wiped out, the Emperor Don't worry." ”

"Fifteen hundred, all annihilated?" Xuanzong said in astonishment.

"yes, not a single one. Can the Emperor rest well? It's time for us to hit the road. Wang Yuan said.

……

After this battle, there were no pursuers to catch up. But Wang Yuan and everyone knew in their hearts that this was not a good sign. The battle at noon was delayed for two hours, and after restarting, Xuanzong's body became weaker and weaker, and he had to stop often to let him regain his strength. At this rate, it is unlikely that the news will cross the Golden State boundary before it arrives. And once the defenders of Jinzhou get the news conveyed in Chang'an City to stop it with all their might, I am afraid that things will be worse.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone finally arrived in Golden State. This was four or five hours later than Wang Yuan expected. Wang Yuan originally wanted to use the cover of the night to sneak through the Jinzhou pass, but at this time, the east was white and the sky was getting brighter, so I was afraid that he would not be able to get his way.

Zhao Qing took people to the front to investigate, and when he came back, he reported an unexpected but depressing news. On the passage between the north of Jinzhou City and the south of Qinling Mountain, the imperial court soldiers and horses of Jinzhou were already densely arrayed. Obviously, in the time of this day and night, the order of Chang'an City has been delivered to Jinzhou. The Golden State Soldiers and Horses are ready to intercept.

Hearing this news, the guards were suddenly a little nervous. Everyone looked at Wang Yuan with a solemn face in silence. From Wang Yuan's face, they could also feel the anxiety of the handsome.

"Dashuai, let's just take a detour. Let's go south and bypass the city of Golden State. Zhao Qing suggested in a low voice.

Wang Yuan frowned and shook his head, "With our current marching speed, we can't avoid their pursuit anywhere. The detour to the south is time-consuming. I believe that there will be cavalry mobilized in Chang'an. If you can't get out of trouble at this time, you will never be able to get rid of them. We have only been carrying dry food for fifteen days, and if we are entangled, we will be in a desperate situation. ”

Zhao Qing sighed and frowned silently. It is true that what Wang Yuan said is true. If it is simply a personal cavalry, it can certainly be quickly transferred and gone. But with the words of the Emperor, the speed of action was greatly reduced. Xuanzong couldn't stand the bumps on horseback, and he could barely support it when he ran and stopped. But then he must be relieved and let recover, or he will die on horseback. Moreover, the dry food of the people and horses is indeed a problem, and it will take a few more days or even more than ten days to detour to the south, and then the food will run out, how can it be replenished. It doesn't matter if people are hungry, after the horses have eaten the bean cake essence, they can't run, and then they will not sit and wait to be besieged and strangled.

"This old thing is just a burden." Tan Ping scolded angrily in a low voice.

Zhao Qing hurriedly pulled his sleeve and mouthed Nunu behind him. Tan Ping looked back and saw that Xuanzong was sitting on a horse with a pale face, standing not far away. Xuanzong must have heard that sentence just now. Although Tan Ping was a little embarrassed, he was not afraid, and walked to the side with a pout.

"Wang Yuan, I heard that there are soldiers and horses from Jinzhou blocking the way ahead?" Xuanzong shouted.

Wang Yuan arched his hand and said, "Emperor Taishang, it is true. Jinzhou's 40,000 soldiers and horses are on the north passage of the city, which is the only way for us to return to Chengdu. ”

"What then? We're only over 100 people, so what can we do? You...... I won't leave it alone. Xuanzong shouted.

Wang Yuan frowned and said, "The emperor is too worried, how can the minister do that." ”

Xuanzong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then how do we break through?" I don't know who the Golden State guard is, if I want to show up and persuade them. Or still useful. ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Emperor Taishang, the soldiers and generals of the current court are not the same as before. The ministers and generals have changed a few times, and the soldiers are all newly recruited soldiers, they only listen to Li Mao's orders and Li Guangbi's orders, and it is useless for the emperor to appear for fear. ”

Xuanzong nodded and sighed: "That's right, if these people are still thinking about me, how can they let me suffer in Lishan Palace." It's a moment in time. That...... So what to do? ”

Wang Yuan's eyes looked at the faintly visible Jinzhou City in front of him and pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice: "There is no other way, break through." ”

"What? Rush through? I heard you right. What do you mean...... Break in? Xuanzong exclaimed in astonishment.

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

"But we only have such a small number of people, how can we break in? Wang Yuan, you can't mess around, if you break in, won't you all die here? Xuanzong exclaimed.

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Emperor Taishang, are you afraid of death?" Even if you die, with your ministers and so many brothers by your side, what are you worried about? ”

"But......" Xuanzong muttered.

Wang Yuan restrained his smile and said, "Emperor Tai, it's nothing, I will order someone to protect you." However, you have to hold on to the charge along the way, and then we will not only break through the enemy formation, but also rush all the way to the mountain pass and enter the mountain road into Shu. There's no rest in between. The Emperor Taishang must grit his teeth and hold on. ”

Before Xuanzong could say more, Wang Yuan had already turned his face. Xuanzong's face was pale, and he was worried.

When Wang Yuan said the words of breaking into the enemy's formation, the guards were actually very surprised. But they soon regained their composure. The life of the big handsome is undoubted, and the big man says that he will break through, and no one will say a word. Besides, there is probably only one way to go in the current situation.

"Zhao Qing Tan Ping. Prepare for the battle immediately. Tell the brothers not to be afraid, the other side is infantry, and we have enough means to fight our way out. ”

"Don't worry, the marshal, I'll go and prepare for this." Zhao Qing Tan Ping arched his hand.

"General Ah Shui, tell your brothers not to be afraid, I, Wang Yuan, will not let them die. Call your people to be in the middle of the line for a while, and don't fall behind. Wang Yuan smiled at the barbarian leader A Shuidao.

Of course, Ah Shui was very nervous, he had never seen such a war in his life. before
