Chapter 109: Chasing and Blocking
ps: During the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, there are important things at home, so I updated it for two days, and it is normal to reply today!
Seeing Yang Fanhai leading the army into the mountains, the army of the Xiong Kingdom did not stop and marched into the mountains and forests from all directions, but the speed slowed down a lot.
A black-armored general stretched out his hand, and a black shadow galloped from the sky like lightning and landed on his arm. It was the eagle who was monitoring Yang Fanhai's men and horses all the way in the air.
After feeding some pieces of meat, touching Da Diao's head, the black-armored general's arm shook slightly, and Da Diao soared into the sky and chased towards Yang Fanhai's army.
Looking at the direction where the eagle disappeared, the black-armored general sneered and then ordered in a deep voice: "Transfer the news to the second prince, the beast has been driven into the cage!"
"As for orders, general!" A soldier immediately took the order and left.
Among the forests.
Following the path in the middle of the valley, Yang Fanhai led hundreds of cavalry around him to gallop, and it took half an hour to catch up with the large army.
Princess Jinglu stood on a big rock and looked in this direction with a worried look on her face. When she saw Yang Fanhai and others appear, she immediately looked happy. Zhang Zhi, Huangfu Shaowei and others also hurriedly came over.
After getting closer, Yang Fanhai turned over and dismounted and bowed: "I've seen the princess."
Princess Jinglu immediately looked angry: "Why are there so many etiquettes at this time? You're fine!"
"The end will be fine!"
Yang Fanhai stood up straight, looked at Zhang Zhi and others who were coming and asked, "How is the situation? What are the casualties?"
Zhang Zhi's face darkened and he said softly: "I have counted it just now. Those who died in battle and those who were separated have only ten thousand brothers left!"
When they broke through the siege, they were afraid that more than 7,000 people would die. After rushing into the forest, many people were in a panic and separated from the army.
"It's just a meeting..." Yang Fanhai sighed slightly: "Is this the real strength of the elite soldiers of the Xiong Kingdom?"
Although he has been in the army for more than two years, he has almost won the final victory as a brave man. Today, he lost nearly 10,000 troops after just one encounter with the elite soldiers of Youxiong Kingdom, which is really shocking.
"It's not just that simple!" Xu Fan shook his head: "This is just the elite soldiers of the Xiong Kingdom who have fought in Xuzhou and Qingzhou over the years, not their strongest army."
"For the Youxiong Kingdom in Yuzhou, its hostile forces have four parts. The Wu tribes of Liangzhou and Jingzhou, the Zhu state of Yongzhou and Jizhou, the Ziyi Kingdom in Yangzhou, and other countries in Jiuzhou."
"Although the country of Ziyi in Yangzhou is strong, it rarely provokes battles, and others live in peace with it, so it can be ignored. The rest of us are the strongest of the Wu clan and Zhu state, so the garrison at the border with these two countries is the strongest of the Youxiong state."
"As Master Dan said that day, the battle there was no longer a battle between ordinary people, but a battle between practitioners. Not to mention our strength, even Master Dan is nothing on such a battlefield."
This statement made Yang Fanhai's heart sink even further, and he felt that the whole world had become an abyss and he could no longer struggle.
"General Yang, what should we do now?" Zhang Zhi asked on the side.
"We..." Yang Fanhai was about to speak, but his face suddenly changed and shouted: "Everyone moves forward, go quickly! Hu Gensheng, Liu Fucai, Deng Yuanwu, Xue Chengtong and I are facing the enemy and cutting off the rear, hurry up!"
"General Yang, what's wrong!" Princess Jinglu looked shocked, for some reason why he suddenly did this.
"Princess, get on the horse!"
Yang Fanhai did not explain much, and did not care about etiquette or anything else. He picked up Princess Jinglu and placed it directly on the horse's back, and then said to Xu Fan: "You are responsible for protecting the princess, and you must not let something happen to her."
After saying this, he rushed towards the cliff on one side with a black spear in his hand.
Everyone was stunned, but they immediately found that something was wrong. There were strange sounds coming from the hillside on that side, and soon there was a sight of figures appearing in the jungle. It was vague, but there was no doubt that another enemy army appeared.
For a moment, the army set off and led by Zhang Qiong, Huangfu Shaowei and others to the mountains. For example, brave generals such as Hu Gensheng and Liu Fucai followed Yang Fanhai to cut off their backs to meet the enemy.
In the dense forest, a large group of soldiers rushed out. Unlike ordinary soldiers, these people were not wearing iron armor, but vine armor made of vines.
The dark color is like gold and stone, and you can tell it is very hard at first glance.
The leading general was strong in his body, holding a pair of black axes, with extraordinary aura. As he walked, he could see cyclones appearing around him, easily blocking the thorny bushes in front.
He raised his axe and pointed at Yang Fanhai who was rushing over and shouted: "Yang Fanhai, you can't escape. The second prince personally arranged troops to capture the people. There is no one who can escape yet. Surrender obediently!"
Yang Fanhai raised his eyebrows slightly. A general whom he had never seen before could even tell his name at once, which meant that the other party was not talking nonsense. Gongsun Xuanyuan had already begun to attach great importance to his own troops and came to encircle and suppress him personally.
However, this did not make me give up. With a black spear, I had already entered the enemy.
The spear and the axe were fighting each other, and Yang Fanhai was shocked. The opponent's strength was beyond his imagination and was much stronger than the previous Nascent Soul General. During the weapons, it seemed as if he had encountered that giant man again, which was extremely uncomfortable.
He couldn't help but ask in surprise: "You are not in the Nascent Soul stage!"
"Who told you that I am in the Nascent Soul Stage!" The other party shouted loudly, and the axe slashed down like a world of enlightenment: "I am only one line away from the Tribulation Period."
As the axe swung, the energy of heaven and earth gathered like a rushing stream, condensed into one, making a banging sound, which was extremely terrifying.
He was actually a master in the Kongming stage... Yang Fanhai was shocked and did not dare to fight rashly. He activated the Manniu Power, and then used the pulse-cutting gun technique to forcibly remove the opponent's power.
Then waved the black spear, and used the sound of falling, urging the strong wind to whistle all over the world, blowing the formation of soldiers in the country of Xiong to pieces.
"You go quickly, I'm enough to cut off the back alone!"
Yang Fanhai roared, moved and turned around, and shot him with a beheading shot directly at the Double Axe General.
This man didn't know the power of the owl gun technique and the black spear. He thought he was fighting hard with heavy weapons and gained the advantage, so he turned his axe back and knocked it over.
With a hard fight, the sound of clicking came out, and the axe could not withstand such force and was broken and scattered all over the ground.
"This..." The man was shocked, never thinking that Yang Fanhai was so powerful.
"Go away!"
Another loud roar, and a strong wind blew everywhere, helping Hu Gensheng and others get out of trouble. Then, with the help of the wind, he sent a few people down the hillside and chased the army.
Without any scruples, Yang Fanhai stopped fighting hard and turned to fight. He was not good at cavalry fighting in the mountains, but for him it seemed that he had returned to his home court.
The opponent's general also suffered a loss and learned his lesson. When he was fighting, he immediately avoided Yang Fanhai's use of the beheading spear technique.
In the valley, the terrain was narrow and the army fled a little slowly, but the people chasing were also in trouble. Yang Fanhai used his colorful sound to drive the strong wind, almost blocking the narrow path in the valley, and could not chase it at all.
After about an hour of fighting, it felt like the large army had escaped far away. Yang Fanhai waved his spear, and a strong wind disturbed the pursuit. He rushed into the dense forest like a cheetah and fled far away.
It was as if he was walking in various dangerous terrain, and his speed was fast, and he caught up with the large army in about half an hour.
But the situation in front of him made Yang Fanhai feel sank. He blocked the pursuers in that place, and there were actually ambushers here. All the soldiers were fighting hard and it was difficult to get out.
Fortunately, there are not many powerful generals in this place, otherwise it would have ended if I couldn't wait for me to come.
Holding a spear, he entered the battle formation. The black spear turned into countless phantoms, like poisonous snakes, with guns fatal. Seeing Yang Fanhai coming, everyone was very angry. In a fight, the people in Xiong Kingdom finally retreated.
But the situation was even more serious. After a hard battle, more than a thousand casualties were killed or injured, such as Wu Jin, Lin Zhenpei and others, and Huangfu Shaowei was even more shot to protect Princess Jinglu and was shot through her shoulder, which greatly damaged her combat power.
There is no way back, so I can only continue to move forward.
However, all this is just the beginning. I don’t know if Gongsun Xuanyuan had already expected that he would be forced into this place, or because the eagle above his head could see all the traces of his group, and every few hours would appear from the Xiong Kingdom.
The tactic of cutting off the rear is useless, and there will always be enemies waiting in front of you. Fighting one by one, the soldiers around you die one by one, and the number of wounded generals is increasing. It seems that you have entered the abyss of war, and the more you struggle, the deeper you fall, and you can't extricate yourself.
After running in the mountains and forests for seven or eight days, I killed countless people, and I didn’t know how many soldiers were killed by them. I was a little numb and inevitably exhausted.
Another wave of attack was repelled, and the army was exhausted and had to rest by a stream.
Yang Fanhai lowered his head and took a sip of the stream water, cleaned it up slightly, and felt that someone was behind him. When he looked back, he found it was Princess Jinglu.
"Princess!"
Yang Fanhai hurriedly saluted.
"No need to be polite!" Princess Jinglu smiled slightly, then turned to a sad face, and asked softly: "General Yang, do you think we can...can escape?"
In recent days, there have been heavy casualties and injuries, with 20,000 people and less than 3,000 left. Everyone is exhausted, even Princess Jinglu, who has never fought, feels exhausted.
Yang Fanhai immediately said with a solemn look on his face: "Princess, don't worry, I will do my best to send you back to the capital!"
"Return to the capital?" Princess Jinglu suddenly turned a careless face, looked at the sky and asked, "What can I do if I return to the capital?"
What can it be done... Yang Fanhai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he didn't know how to answer.
