【Chapter 726】 Seeing flowers in the fog
When Yan Liang stabilized the startled horse and regained his figure, he finally saw that the knife just now was the unparalleled power of the nine-ring iron-backed battle knife in Xu Chu's palm.
At this time, Zhang Liao and Xu Chu surrounded one after the other.
Suddenly, Yan Liang no longer had time to care about the sharp pain on his body, his cheeks were extremely distorted, and he gritted his teeth and swung his knife to meet it.
"Bell, bell!"
In the sound of the slamming weapon, Yan Liang almost didn't even have a room to catch his breath, he spun in place like a spinning top, dismantled the front and back gear, leaned forward and backward to parry with all his might, and fought hard for more than ten rounds with one enemy and two in one breath.
In the face of Zhang Liao and Xu Chu's front and rear attacks, Yan Liang had no power to fight back at all, and could only rely on the instinct of a martial artist to desperately block, driving wolves at the front door and tigers at the back door, and he was so busy that he was dizzy, and his sight was full of murderous sword light. After more than ten rounds of hard parrying, Yan Liang was so tired that he was sweating, the black armor was tightly attached to his body, and more than a dozen bloody wounds of different sizes were added at some point.
"Ahh
Under the repeated swing of the knife to resist, Yan Liang's cheeks were crimson, the green tendons on his forehead were bursting out, the sweat was like rain, he was panting like a cow, his whole body was sore and weak, and his arms were trembling. Forced to helplessly, he deliberately exposed his flaws, and his right leg was stabbed by Zhang Liao, causing the outer side of his right thigh to be cut open by Zhang Liao, and a two-inch-long knife edge was like a blooming rose, and blood flowed everywhere. But Yan Liang gritted his teeth and endured the pain of his skin, and struggled to swing Zhang Liao's war knife away, shaking him back a few steps. While forcing Zhang Liao back, Yan Liang roared angrily. turned to shake Xu Chu hard regardless of it, desperately vomited blood from the internal organs to break through Xu Chu's siege, and then beat the horse and galloped. finally broke out of the encirclement and reopened the distance between him and Zhang Liao and Xu Chu.
"Whew!" With all his might, Yan Liang, who finally broke out of the encirclement and interception, took a big breath and breathed a sigh of relief as he galloped. However, when he tried to flee back to his home camp in one go, he found that his escape was in the wrong direction. The military formation two hundred steps away was not an allied military formation, but a Xiliang military formation, and the huge and conspicuous Golden Lion Beast King battle flag was fluttering in the wind at this moment. Hunting sounds.
Seeing this, Yan Liang's face suddenly turned pale, his expression was gloomy, and his eyes were gloomy. The joy of the hope of escaping was as cold as falling into a cold cellar and ice cave. In the front, there was the Xiliang army, and then Zhang Liao and Xu Chu joined forces to chase and kill. It can be said that there is no way to heaven and no door to enter the earth.
In an instant, Yan's conscience was like ashes, and he was completely desperate.
At this moment, he was really extremely remorseful, regretting that he shouldn't be greedy for merit and fighting, hating that he was blinded by hatred and lost his mind, and he wanted to kill Gan Ning to avenge his brother Wen Chou. If it weren't for revenge, why did he end up like this?
In fact. As early as when Zhang Liao and Xu Chu were out of battle, Yan Liang was aware of it. That moment. He also thought about accepting it when he saw it, giving up the perfect opportunity to kill Gan Ning, and immediately beat his horse and retreated to his own position. But he was really unwilling, and he was unwilling to give up the opportunity to kill Gan Ning for Wen Chou, because what he did before was actually to provoke Gan Ning, and then behead him under the knife.
As the saying goes: the opportunity cannot be lost, and the loss will not come again. If he can kill Gan Ning, he will not only avenge Wen Chou, but also make a great achievement; With this battle, it is enough for him to make Yan Liang famous all over the world, and gain both fame and fortune. As a general, who doesn't want to make contributions and move the world, Yan Liang is naturally no exception.
Therefore, when he found out that there were two more generals in the Xiliang army formation, he did not immediately flee the battlefield, but wanted to take advantage of the distance of more than two hundred steps to kill Gan Ning before the arrival of the two Xiliang generals, and then it was not too late to withdraw to the main formation. At the same time, he still had a fluke mentality, and subconsciously thought that the two enemy generals who went out this time were also the same as Hu Zhen and Yang Ding, who seemed to be extraordinary, but in fact they were showmanship, and their martial arts were mediocre, so they were not to be feared.
It was based on this kind of luck psychology that Yan Liang turned a blind eye to Zhang Liao and Xu Chu, who were out of the battle, and single-mindedly killed Gan Ning and made a quick decision. But the result was not what Yan Liang thought, every time he thought that he could kill Gan Ning with just one knife, but he didn't expect that Gan Ningduan, who was already at the end of the crossbow, was extremely tenacious, and repeatedly escaped from his knife, and took more than ten knife attacks.
When Gan Ning had no power to resist at all, Yan Liang's face changed suddenly, so that he instantly hesitated on the way back to kill Gan Ning, and even wanted to turn around and flee. Because after he returned to his horse and turned around, he saw the faces of the two Xiliang generals clearly, and they were Zhang Liao and Xu Chu, who had recently become famous among the Xiliang generals.
For these two people, before the Allied forces fought with the Xiliang army, Yan Liang had not heard of the names of these two people; However, since the war between the Allies and the Xiliang Army, he had often heard the names of Zhang Liao and Xu Chu mentioned by the princes of various towns...... Subsequently, the background of these two people was also turned over by the princes of various towns, and the stack of proud achievements was enough to envy all the allied generals, including Yan Liang.
As a result, Yan Liang kept all the famous generals under Li Li of Xiliang in mind, and paid special attention to the appearance of the Xiliang generals in the siege of Hangu for more than four months, and sat down one by one, and then firmly remembered the appearance of these Xiliang generals. The reason why he did this didn't actually have a special significance, but a habit he developed when he was a ranger in his early years, nothing more.
It's just that what Yan Liang never expected was that his unintentional actions in the past really came true. Just when he killed Gan Ning, among the dozen or so Xiliang generals who were ranked higher in his mind, two actually appeared at once, and they all came at him.
At this moment, Yan Liang instinctively wanted to turn the horse and leave, and immediately fled for his life. Because, if the rumors are true, Zhang Liao alone has skills that are not inferior to his Yan Liang, and Xu Chu's combat power is still above Zhang Liao, and he has recently been included in the top ten generals under Li Li.
If Yan Liang had resolutely retreated to his own formation at that time, then he would not have been in danger of being in a desperate situation. It's a pity that after a little hesitation, he still decided to kill Gan Ning first, and then retreat to his own formation. After all, Gan Ning is standing in front of him, and he has no power to resist, if he doesn't kill at this time, when will he stay?
In addition, Yan Liang is very confident in his martial arts, believing that he is even one against two. is not afraid of Zhang Liao and Xu Chu, and can calmly retreat to this formation.
In this way, Yan Liang, who had made up his mind, did not evacuate the battlefield in front of the battle as soon as possible. Tried to cut through the mess quickly and kill Gan Ning before Zhang Liao and Xu Chu arrived.
However, this time Yan Liang miscalculated.
He counted everything, but overlooked the most important detail, which was that his crotch mount was nowhere near as fast as he thought it would be. Yes, when he tried to rely on the distance advantage, he rode his horse and galloped to kill Gan Ning with lightning speed. Zhang Liao came first and made a timely move to block his life-killing knife.
Immediately, Yan Liang had to abandon Gan Ning and fight with Zhang Liao. I don't think about it. Zhang Liao was much more brave and fierce than he expected, and he had the upper hand at the first shot, leaving him at a loss and struggling to parry. Then. Xu Chu suddenly killed again. flanked Zhang Liao back and forth, making him miserable, forcing him to break out of the encirclement at the cost of serious injuries.
"Ride--da!"
Recalling the scene just past, Yan Liang regretted it. However, although he had a premonition at this time that he was only afraid of being lucky and his life was in danger this time, he did not give up his survival, and he was even more unwilling to sit still. Of course, you can't fight to the end like Gan Ning and swear not to retreat. So, at this moment, Yan Liang did not hesitate. After widening the distance between him and Zhang Liao and Xu Chu, he pretended to fight his horse and rushed to the front of the Xiliang army, but when he galloped for more than 50 steps, he suddenly reined in his horse and turned around, trying to shake off Zhang Liao and Xu Chu who were chasing behind him, detoured back to the south of the battlefield, and then fled back to his own formation.
"Gan Ning is here, where is Yan Thief?"
Just as Yan Liang was galloping his horse and looking back, unexpectedly, there was a loud shout in front of him, which made Yan Liang tremble, and immediately turned his head to look at the shout.
"Uh??? Gan Ning? Seeing Gan Ning, who was covered in blood, blocking his horse with a horizontal knife in front of him, Yan Liang was shocked, and he angrily swung his knife and rushed towards Gan Ning.
"Yan was trying to kill you, but I didn't expect you to send it to me by yourself, obviously looking for death! Gan Ning, suffer death! Hahaha???"
"Looking for death? I'm afraid it may not be! ”
Facing Yan Liang, who was laughing wildly, rushed over, Gan Ning was not afraid, and after responding without showing weakness, he looked at Yan Liang coldly, as if he was measuring the distance between his uncle.
"Suffer death! Kill--"
Seeing that Gan Ning, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, blocked his way, Yan Liang beat his horse and galloped, and when he was close to Gan Ning, he shouted violently, and the war knife in his hand slashed at Gan Ning's head fiercely. This knife is definitely extraordinary, or it is an explosion of potential, when the war knife cuts through the air current, it provokes a sharp sound of breaking the air, the momentum is heavy, and the ferocity is extremely fierce, its power is so great, the attack power is strong, and it is even much faster and more fierce than Yan Liang's attack in his heyday.
"Boom!"
A knife cut off the air flow, broke through the air, completely ignoring the war knife in Gan Ning's hand, and hit him by the neck. However, as the blade roared past, the sight of Gan Ning's human head flying up in the air that Yan Liang expected did not appear, because his fierce knife actually slashed into the air, and there was no Gan Ning in his sight, only an uncontrolled war horse. Just when Yan Liang was taken aback, the war horse under his crotch suddenly fell, and he was thrown out of the air, and the war knife in his hand was also lost because he couldn't retract his strength, and the helmet also flew into the air.
"Bang-sigh!"
It wasn't until Yan Liang's four feet fell to the ground that he heard the mournful neighing and wailing of his mount, and the war horse only had two hooves at this time, and the front and rear hooves on the left side were actually cut off by Qi Qi.
At this time, Yan Liang finally saw Gan Ning's figure, but saw him kneeling on one knee not far from the fallen war horse, the war knife in his hand was drenched in blood, and there were two severed horse legs on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Yan Liang suddenly realized that Gan Ning didn't want to fight him head-on at all, and had already made up his mind to kill his mount.
As soon as he thought of this, Yan Liang was furious, struggled to get up, and tried to pick up the war knife not far away, and kill Gan Ning before he died. However, the moment he got up from the ground, a swarthy horse galloped past him, and at the same time as the horse swept by a terrifying cold light.
Suddenly, Yan Liang suddenly felt a numbness in his neck and a pain in his scalp, and then he actually shook in the air with the black horse, shaking him dizzy, and there was a gold star in front of him. When he was finally able to see what was in front of him, he saw that there was a very familiar headless body standing where he had just stood. When he wanted to take a closer look at who the familiar headless corpse was, a sharp pain rushed into his mind, and his vision was blurred, like seeing flowers in a fog, and then the blur turned into chaos, and the whole world was dark.
