Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell

The sky is showing the white of the fish's belly, and a bright color appears on the horizon. The grass turns from yellow to green swaying with the breeze, the morning light is quiet and long, and everything in the world seems to be sleeping peacefully. Even the birds in the treetops were quiet.

The thunderous sound of horses' hooves rang out, and a group of demons from hell trampled the tranquility of the morning light into powder. The birds on the branches burst into flames and flew straight into the sky.

The sentry on duty had just opened his sleepy eyes, when a black arrow swooped down on him. Before he could sound an alarm, two or three feathered arrows pierced his head.

A group of black figures appeared on the horizon, in the morning light. The saber reflects the cold light of the metal, making people feel cold and killing. The bearded sword knights rushed into the Zhao army camp on horseback, and the swords of the snow swords slashed horizontally and vertically. The cavalry rushed back and forth, and the sleeping camp boiled in an instant like a pot of oil poured into water.

The saber that ran out of the tent in a panic was met by a cold light. Then the world was blood-red, and after the blood-red was eternal silence.

Three hundred sabers poured out of the Zhao army camp like sickles, leaving only a mutilated corpse. Blood covered the ground in an instant, and the bloody breath was so smoky that people couldn't breathe. Before Sergeant Zhao could come back to his senses, those demons with masks had already been killed.

The sound of cold blades cutting through flesh came and went, and the "click" sound of cutting bones and ballasts was even louder. The rampaging galloping horse with bright lightning ruthlessly pounced on the ignorant Zhao sergeant. Flesh and blood bodies turned into mutilated corpses.

"Formation, formation. Cavalry mounted, hurry! The captains shouted in a voice, and it wasn't until the bearded sword knights rushed through the battle for the second time that the captains of the Zhao military remembered to organize the soldiers to form a formation.

Countless halberders straightened their halberds, and the cavalry began to search for horses. I didn't even have time to put on the armor. There are even people who ride bareback horses without saddles.

The bearded sword knights did not rush towards the long halberd of Rulin, and Ao Canghai gave an order. The soldiers all took off their strong bows and shot at the unsuspecting Zhao soldiers.

"How can they shoot farther than a crossbow!" After the astonishment of Sergeant Zhao, there was a terrible howl. The halberd soldiers who got up in a hurry didn't even put on their armor. I used my body to meet this rain of arrows, and the "poof" and "poof" that shot into my flesh were endless. Long arrows burrowed into the army like poisonous snakes. The army was so dense that the bearded knights didn't even have to aim to ensure that they could shoot people.

The captains of the Zhao military colonel and the others were expected to shoot themselves at this distance. Their archers fought back, but not a single arrow could reach the knights.

The soldiers, who were already in a hurry, quickly retreated. No one wants to meet arrows with their flesh, and death is not the way to die.

After three rounds of arrows, the formation began to crumble. Everyone knows that there is only one way to resist and to die. While there is still a breath, it is serious to run for your life quickly. It doesn't matter if you can't outrun the horses of these black-armored knights, as long as you can outrun the legs of your companions.

No one is stupid. If there is the first to run, there is the second. Two people become four, and four people become a group. The army collapsed at a great speed, and the soldiers discarded their heavy halberd swords and shields, and drilled into the mountains and forests as if they were dead. They are all veterans of the war all year round, and they know that they only need to get into the woods. The cavalry could not do anything with them, and only the new soldiers, who lacked heart, rushed to the smooth road. That's not running away, that's killing people.

The leading lieutenant was in a hurry. Desperately wielding the long sword in his hand. even killed a few soldiers who ran at the front, but at this time the rout was a foregone conclusion. No one wants to use their bodies to meet the flying arrows. The rout soon overwhelmed the captains. Some of the soldiers were stopped in a hurry, waving their blades. Those captains were dismembered in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Ao Canghai first drew out the bloody saber. "Brothers, follow me." After speaking, he took the lead in rushing towards Zhao Jun.

The retreating Zhao army did not have the slightest ability to resist. With the speed of a horse, a sharp saber can easily split a strong man in half. The bearded knights slashed at will, and each blow brought fatal damage to the Zhao soldiers. Large streams of blood are like musical fountains in the square, one after another. It perfectly shows the essence of the aesthetics of violence, and organically integrates violence and beauty.

"Click" Ao Canghai slashed a Zhao army commander halberd. Even the man with the halberd split in half. The gushing blood turned half of his body blood-red, and drops of viscous blood slid down the armor. until it dripped into the soil and was trampled into mud by the war horse.

"Ding" A crossbow arrow hit Ao Canghai's helmet, only leaving a scratch on the helmet, and the crossbow arrow was refracted away.

Ao Canghai looked up, and several more crossbow arrows were shot at his body. But it only left a dent in the armor, and none of them could break through. The quality of the Yun family's armor is guaranteed, and since Master Geng created the scale armor for the bearded sword knight, the protection of these killers has been greatly improved. In the Warring States Period, unless they met Qin Crossbow and shot at close range, these guys would be invulnerable.

Seeing such a close distance, the crossbow arrows couldn't deal with the people in front of them. Zhao Guojun's soldiers were completely dumbfounded, and more people fled in despair.

Ao Canghai looked around and found a gorgeous carriage in the middle of the camp, surrounded by many guards. Several of them were trying to wind their crossbow arrows, and it seemed that they were the ones who had just shot themselves.

Ao Canghai did not hesitate for a moment, hung up his saber and drew a strong bow. He mounted an arrow and shot at the guards.

With him taking the lead, more than 20 bearded knights who followed him also followed with bows and arrows. With just one volley, the guards ran away. Ao Canghai urged the horse and rushed over to the gorgeous carriage.

The blood-red sun rose in the east, and the earth was dyed red. Perhaps, the earth is originally red. There were human stumps and severed arms everywhere, as if they were showing off the sharpness of the Yun family's saber, and the smell of blood made people's brains hurt.

The war horse stepped over the corpse of the dead, kicking and tapping forward. There was the occasional howl in the distance, and it was clear that the Bearded Knights had no room for their former compatriots. They are like fierce beasts. Hunt down the fleeing Zhao soldiers one by one, and the dead people stretch from here to the end of the field of vision.

What a cruel picture, Yun Yue didn't have the heart to appreciate it. His eyes were fixed on the carriage, which was unspeakably luxurious, and the guards standing at the doorway were nailed to the carriage board with two short spears. The head drooped unnaturally, and the horse pulling the cart lay on the ground. There was a pool of blood on the side of the huge horse's head. It looks like the horse has to go to the underworld to pull the cart.

"Let Yun Yue come, if you dare to come in. Lao Tzu will kill Princess Qimei! There was a voice shouting in the carriage, and there was a hint of screeching in the roughness. Listening to it in the ears, it is uncomfortable to speak.

Yun Yue remembered the owner of this voice, and it was indeed that Zhao Ji. Looks like I'm lucky. Didn't chase the wrong person. Maybe it's because this Zhao Ji is very unlucky. actually provoked himself, and now he needs to let him know about the consequences of offending Yunhou.

"Zhao Ji, come out! Let Qimei go, give you a way to live. Yun Yue said indifferently. Later generations watched movies, and negotiators watched a lot. Now it comes in handy, the first thing is not to provoke the gangsters.

"Yunyue, you don't come to this set. Lao Tzu doesn't go out, if you want Princess Qimei to be safe. Just prepare a carriage. Let me and the princess go. If you want someone, go and ask for it with my king. Zhao Ji's ugly voice sounded again, and Yun Yue plucked out her ears. He really hated this voice, if possible, Yun Yue would like to take this Marquis Zhao Ji as a specimen and study the human anatomy.

"Master Hou, I haven't heard Her Royal Highness the voice for so long. He didn't come out, could it be that there was fraud in this? Zheng Bin came over with a ghostly head.

It seemed that he heard Zheng Bin's question, and a miserable scream suddenly came out of the carriage. Then a bloody human head flew out. Long hair flutters in the wind. Ticking blood, spilling a line of blood in the sky. After landing, it rolled a few times. Despite the corpses everywhere, the scene is thrilling.

Zheng Bin grabbed the head and picked it up. Shocked: "Master Hou, it's Princess Qimei's personal maid Xiaoqing." ”

Yun Yue's mood suddenly relaxed, but then her heart ached. Xiaoqing has followed Princess Qimei since she was a child, and she can be said to be the most caring person in Qimei. At the beginning, I was on the way to Qi country. Devastation. I didn't expect to die here today!

Since Xiaoqing is here, Qimei must also be inside. It seems that this Zhao Ji is really ruthless, killing a maid is really like killing a chicken and slaughtering a dog.

"Yunyue, listen to Lao Tzu, hurry up and get out of the way for Lao Tzu. Prepare a carriage for Benhou to leave. Otherwise, don't blame Ben Hou for being ruthless. Also, just in case. You yourself come to the carriage and go with Ben Hou. Zhao Ji's voice came again, and there was an indescribable yin owl in his voice.

Ao Canghai's eyes almost popped out, Zhao Ji's request was too much. It is really unreasonable to let Yun Yue also go in as a hostage.

"Good! Ben Hou promises you! Yun Yue gritted her teeth and turned over and dismounted. But his body was immediately grabbed by Lao Jiang, and then seven or eight big men fell to the ground. Surrounded Yun Yue tightly. Ao Canghai and Lao Jiang held one leg and didn't let go.

"Master Hou, you can't go. This Zhao Ji wolf ambition, you have gone to be more auspicious! Ao Canghai hugged Yunyue's thigh and admonished loudly. The exhortations of the strong men next to him were also higher and higher.

"It's a man, Yun Yue! Ben Hou does not embarrass you, as long as you get into the carriage to ensure that Ben Hou leaves safely. Ben Hou will definitely not hurt your life, how? Zhao Ji's voice came from inside the carriage, and apparently he also heard the crying outside.

"Get out of the way!" Yun Yue roared in a low voice. Xiaoqing has already been killed, and he can't let Qimei be slashed again. I owe Qimei a lot in this life, and I have to break through even a sea of swords and fires for Qimei.

"No, Master Hou, unless you kill your subordinates. Otherwise, don't think about the past. ”

"Master Hou, unless you step on our corpses. Otherwise, subordinates can only disobey. ”

"Master Hou......!"

The exhortations of the killers resounded chaotically, and the crowd surrounding Yun Yue became even denser. Now even if Yun Yue wants to rush out, it is impossible. No matter how Yun Yue cursed and beaten. Ao Canghai has an old ginger who is holding Yun Yue's two legs, and the strong men next to him are even more tightly sealed the gap around Yun Yue. Even a fly can't fly in.

While the crowd was arguing, a bearded knight galloped over with an officer who looked like a lieutenant. ran to the front, threw the captain to the ground and shouted, "Master Hou, the people in the car are fake." ”

This shout was like a thunderclap exploding in people's ears. Almost everyone didn't speak, and looked at the bearded captain in a daze.

"Boss Zhuo, what did you say? This is no joke. Ao Canghai was still holding Yun Yue's thighs, and looked back at this Zhuo boss in surprise.

"Master Hai, how dare I coax you with such a thing. Let this kid tell you about it! "That one called Boss Zhuo kicked the captain hard." Tell Hai Ye Debt what you just said. ”

"Sea ...... Haiye! The lieutenant was kicked and immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to look at Ao Canghai.

"Last night, Hou Ye had already left with Her Royal Highness the princess and went to Handan." The lieutenant didn't open his mouth, and with one mouth he told an astonishing secret. Everyone present froze, and Zhao Ji ran away. Who's that in the carriage?

"You said Zhao Ji ran away, who was in the carriage?" Ao Canghai hurriedly asked.

"If you go back to Haiye, inside the carriage is Du Zhong, the deputy envoy to the Qin State this time. Yesterday afternoon, the guard had already discovered that someone was tracking our army, and Hou Ye said that there were only a few hundred people, and they would never rashly attack our army. But after setting up camp in the evening, Hou Ye secretly slipped away with dozens of guards. ”

Yun Yue gritted her teeth and hated, such a cunning Zhao Ji. I didn't expect this kid to be so alert that he found himself tracking him. This kid made a plan to get rid of the golden cicada, and he thought that Yun Yue was waiting for the arrival of the large army. He also knew that these infantry would not be able to outrun the cavalry in any case.

As a result, these Zhao soldiers became outcasts. has become an outcast who has tied himself here, and it is better to track it for two days by himself. By that time, maybe Zhao Ji had returned to Handan.

Without waiting for Yun Yue's order, someone had already rushed to the carriage.

There was almost no fierce fighting, and the guy named Du Zhong was pulled out of the carriage. Sure enough, there was only a headless female corpse in the carriage besides him. It seems that this kid killed Xiaoqing with his own hands.

"Slash!" As soon as Yun Yue's voice fell, Du Zhong's head fell to the ground and gnawed on the mud.

A burst of smoke and dust rose, and Yun Yue took the bearded sword knight to chase down in the direction of Zhao Guo again. (To be continued.) )
