Volume 3 Chapter 290 Riding the Wind
"Senior Zhongli, ahead!!"
When Zhong Lihao and Nie Qian's more than 400 horsemen arrived at the scene of the incident, what caught their eyes were the traces left by a series of battles, as well as scattered corpses. There are rangers in the Western Regions, and there are also children of Yizhou.
Nie Qian discerned the direction for a moment, and then explained to Zhong Lihao: "Looking at this situation, the university chief led the enemy to another direction, and Senior Sister Wu and they led those people from this direction to retreat to the north entrance of the Meridian Valley. ”
Zhong Lihao looked at it twice, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Looking at the traces here, the Western Regions Rangers have not gone to the Meridian Valley, and they should be fine if they want to come to Senior Sister Wu." Xiao Qian, you take a few people to the Meridian Valley to meet Senior Sister Wu, and then take those people to Chang'an City. ”
Nie Qian was stunned: "But ......"
Zhong Lihao waved his hand, his expression was a little gloomy: "The university president, they fought with the Western Regions rangers in order to save these people, but Chang'an did not send reinforcements in time, obviously they didn't save them when they died!" But it is not appropriate for us to say this matter ourselves, and it is up to the people to open their mouths and tell the world. ”
Nie Qian was stunned again, but soon understood what Zhong Lihao meant, nodded immediately, called a few more people, turned the horse's head and galloped towards the north entrance of the Meridian Valley. Here, Zhongli Hao swept the traces of the battle and was about to identify the direction, but someone pointed in a certain direction and said, "Senior Zhongli, there is smoke over there!" ”
Zhong Lihao hurriedly looked over when he heard the sound, only to see that there were bursts of smoke rising over there, and anyone with a little experience could tell at a glance that it was a forest area on fire. Looking at the direction pointed by the traces on the ground, Zhong Lihao immediately ordered: "It's the university president, they're over there!" Fast!! ”
In the forest area here, many trees have been set on fire by Xu Shang and them, you must know that it is a dry winter at this time, and after a tree and a ball of grass are ignited, they can soon ignite the branches and grass next to them, so the fire spreads quickly in this small forest area. At this moment, Xu Shangzheng led the last remaining forty or so Yizhou disciples to fight with the Western Regions rangers in the forest fire.
In fact, when the fire started, many of the Western Regions rangers were dumbfounded, because they really couldn't figure out how these Yizhou children could set fire to the forest area by themselves, in their opinion, the Yizhou children set fire like this is actually no different from suicide. And then when they saw that the children of Yizhou would still wave their weapons and slash at them in the flames, and even the injured children of Yizhou would stubbornly hug an enemy and roll into the fire, they finally understood that these children of Yizhou did not plan to live, but even if they died, they would have to pull a few Western Regions rangers on their backs.
At this point, many Western Regions rangers were frightened. It's not that they haven't encountered tough opponents, but it's the first time they've encountered such a desperate opponent. And the battle between the two armies, many times it is a momentum, and at this time, Xu Shang and dozens of them fought with momentum, and they forcibly suppressed thousands of Western Regions rangers.
One after another, the Western Regions rangers couldn't withstand Xu Shang's momentum, and they couldn't resist the forest fires that were already burning bigger and bigger, so they withdrew from the forest area one after another, and then looked at the fire in the forest area on the periphery of the forest area, and the hideous faces of the children of Yizhou were stunned under the light of the fire. The leaders of these Western Regions rangers were quite smart, and they did not let the Western Regions rangers enter the forest area to fight with the remaining Yizhou disciples, but each held a bow and arrow to guard the periphery of the forest area to prevent the Yizhou children from breaking through, which meant that they wanted the dozens of Yizhou children left by the torches in the forest area to be burned to death.
Seriously, he doesn't have the courage to fight the Yizhou disciples anymore, because the enemy who doesn't want to die is often the most terrifying. If it weren't for the fact that the more than 2,000 horsemen under his command had been beaten by the Yizhou disciples and lost nearly half, which made his face a little unbearable, so he had to get back some capital from the Yizhou disciples after the death of the Yizhou disciples, he would have wanted to stop and leave. To put it simply, he is actually a little difficult to ride a tiger now. If he could turn back a few hours, he would choose not to fight these young people who didn't want to die.
The Western Regions rangers outside the forest did not dare to enter the forest again, waiting for the forest fire to burn the remaining Yizhou children, and Xu Shang in the forest was ready to die, but they were still trying to gather the bodies of the Yizhou children who could be collected in one place...... The two sides formed a strange confrontation at this time.
Suddenly, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves. The Western Regions Rangers looked back and saw that a force of more than 400 horsemen and horses was rushing towards them. Looking at it more closely, the faces of these Western Regions rangers suddenly turned pale, because the clothes and armor styles of the people and horses who rushed here were exactly the same as those of the Yizhou disciples in the forest! And what does that mean?
For a moment, the Western Regions Rangers were a little flustered. The previous four or five hundred fought all night and couldn't take it down, and they also killed nearly half of their men and horses, and now they are all sleepy and tired, but the other party has four or five hundred vitality, so how can they have the courage and strength to resist the enemy?
Before, because they were going to enter the forest area to fight with the children of Yizhou, all the Western Regions rangers present dismounted except for a few people, and they withdrew from the forest area after the fire, and they had not returned to their horses. Now Zhong Lihao's hundreds of people suddenly appeared, which really caught these Western Regions rangers a little off guard, and their first reaction was to hurry to the horse.
"Shoot the arrows! Don't let them get on the horse!! ”
With Zhong Lihao's roar, more than 400 Yizhou disciples raised their crossbows and shot wildly, and this rain of arrows brought down dozens of Western Regions rangers. And after a few rain of arrows, Zhong Lihao's more than 400 Yizhou disciples had already rushed into the formation of the Western Regions Rangers, and the sabers and swords flashing with cold light greeted the Western Regions Rangers with their lives, bringing a rain of blood.
These Western Regions rangers have been fighting all night now, and they are already at the end of their crossbows, plus they were suppressed by Xu Shang and them in terms of momentum, and the appearance of Zhong Lihao's new force brought them panic, and more importantly, they didn't have time to get on the horse, this series of factors added together, and the result was that these Western Regions rangers became melons and vegetables, and in an instant, they were cut down by Zhong Lihao's new force and scattered.
Zhong Lihao took the lead in cutting down some Western Regions Riding Tours, and then came to the front of the forest area, raised his eyes to see the forest fire that was already burning bigger and bigger, he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and shouted at the forest area with his throat: "University Master! I'm Zhongli Hao!! None of you are still alive!? ”
The movement outside the forest area had actually alarmed Xu Shang and them, and after hearing Zhong Lihao's shout, Xu Shang's heart suddenly jumped, and he raised the little strength on his body and roared back: "Zhongli! I haven't lost my breath yet!! We still have more than 30 people!! ”
"There are more than 600 people, and there are only 30 left!? I'm the next Olympics!! ”
Along the way, Zhong Lihao and the others had already seen the corpses of many Yizhou disciples, and a raging anger had already ignited in their chests, and at this time, they heard that Xu Shang and they only had more than thirty people left, and their anger could not be suppressed. After scolding, he shouted: "Go and get a few people to take the university president out!" The rest of the people followed me to slaughter the herd!! ”
Although there are only more than 400 horsemen, although there are still more than 1,000 Western Regions rangers, at this moment, it is completely the unilateral slaughter of the Western Regions rangers by the children of Yizhou who came to help. At this time, only the angry butcher's knife can vent the anger in everyone's hearts. And in this anger, there is not only hatred for these Western Regions rangers, but also hatred for Chang'an's non-rescue, and then these Western Regions rangers are cut down as those who will not be rescued when they see death. Not to mention anything else, even if Chang'an sent reinforcements two or three hours earlier, Xu Shang and the others would not have died with only thirty people left!
More than a dozen Yizhou disciples who came to help rushed in the forest fire and snatched Xu Shang and them out. At this time, looking at Xu Shang and the thirty or so people, no one will have less than ten wounds on their bodies. The freshly shed blood was mixed with the dried blood, as if to illustrate how fierce Xu Shang's battle had been that night.
Most of the Western Regions rangers were overturned by the Yizhou disciples who rushed over because they didn't have time to get on their horses, but there were still a few Western Regions rangers who either didn't get off their horses and entered the forest before, or they grabbed the horses in a panic, so there were dozens of horses that still escaped, and there were more than 20 of them who escorted the leader of the Western Regions rangers who fled in fear. Although Zhong Lihao chased after him, he was really a little unable to catch up...... Zhong Lihao and the others rushed more than 200 miles from Chang'an City to arrive here, and the horsepower was a little unable to keep up. On the other hand, the horses of the ranger leaders were given a certain amount of rest because the Western Regions rangers went into the forest to fight, so the two sides had such a horsepower difference.
Seeing that the other party's leader was gradually throwing away the distance, Zhongli Hao scolded angrily. But at this moment, he noticed that something seemed to be flying down in the sky, and when he looked closely, he was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse.
The flying general came down is a two-leaf "flat boat", and on top of the "flat boat" stands a person, looking at the costume is obviously a man and a woman. Zhong Lihao took a moment to rub his eyes and then looked at the two of them, and he really almost fell off the horse:
"My lord!? Snow History!? ”
Lu Ren let out an "um", and Tie Qing did not speak. After adjusting the anti-gravity board with Shirley, he lowered to a height of more than a meter above the ground and levitated. Originally, he wanted to raise his gun to aim, but the next moment Lu Ren put the gun away, drew his long sword instead, and the board under his feet also accelerated again, and in the blink of an eye, he caught up with the fleeing Western Regions rangers.
The leader of the rangers and his attendants also noticed the movement behind them, and took a moment to look back, and saw a man and a woman flying in a very strange "flat boat", and their faces changed in horror. Originally, there were still people who wanted to play a game of turning over and returning to the horse arrows, but they were also frightened by Lu Ren and Shirley, and they didn't dare to take the bow and release the arrows...... This Nima is a little beyond their knowledge! Open the bow and release the arrows? At this time, who the hell dares to pull the hatred point and be killed first?
Looking at Lu Ren again, he raised the sword in his hand after catching up with the fleeing Western Regions Ranger, and the Western Regions Ranger who was targeted by Lu Ren did not sit still, and raised his scimitar to block Lu Ren's sword. It's just that when the swords intersected, the sword of this Western Regions Ranger was directly knocked out of his hand by the huge force, and the next moment Lu Ren's sword slashed into the body of this Western Regions Ranger by a few inches.
With a flick of his hand and retracting the long sword, the Western Regions ranger who was not dead also fell off his horse, and was soon ravaged again by the hooves of Zhong Lihao and the others who caught up behind. And in such a short period of time, Lu Ren and Shirley each caught up with a few Western Regions rangers, and several more complete or mutilated corpses fell from their horses.
With just a few ups and downs, the only person who fled was the Ranger Leader. And if Lu Ren and Shirley really wanted to kill him, they could have killed him a long time ago. The reason why it was left until the end was because Lu Ren wanted to catch it alive, and after he was caught back, he would use this guy's blood to sacrifice the dead Yizhou disciples...... It's not that Lu Ren is cruel, but in that era, sometimes it was necessary to comfort the dead and inspire the living in this way.
A rope was thrown out of Shirley's hand, Lu Ren raised his hand to take it, and then Lu Ren and Shirley straightened the rope and controlled the speed of the board, and the rope stopped straight at the Ranger leader. The Ranger Leader wanted to dodge, but where was there room for him to dodge while the horse was running away? I couldn't react for a while, and was stopped by a rope in the chest, and then I was dragged off the horse and fell half dead on the ground.
Zhong Lihao, who caught up behind, saw this situation, and let out a cheer at the same time, and then rushed to the front to pull the horses, someone dismounted and tied the leader of the rangers to a knot, and Zhong Lihao looked at Lu Ren and Shirley who were suspended in front of them with their pedal boards in a daze after dismounting, and the old man came back to his senses for a while, and hurriedly asked, "Why is the lord here?" And why is Xue Changshi here? ”
Lu Ren may have dissipated some of the anger in his chest because he had chopped some people with his own hands, but he was not so angry at this time. He took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality, and then said to Zhong Lihao and the others: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't say what you shouldn't say, there are some things you just bury in my heart for me, do you understand?" ”
More than forty horsemen from Zhong Lihao's side chased after him, and after listening to Lu Ren's words, they looked at each other. The previous ranger leaders were horrified when they saw Lu Ren and Shirley chasing after them on the board, but what about Zhong Lihao and the others?
It's just that Zhong Lihao and others, as children of Yizhou, have received some "baptism" from Lu Ren, so they can still accept some things on the psychological level. At least at least, they all know that Lu Ren and Shirley are out of the "Immortal Gate", and Lu Ren himself is known as the "Immortal Master", so it doesn't seem to be uncommon for Lu Ren and Shirley to know some "Immortal Methods......
(I feel that the paragraph where Lu Ren and Shirley suddenly appeared is a bit messy...... Hehe, no way, I wrote it like this for some of the later arrangements. )
