Horse on the World

Chapter 488 Another Fall

Lu Weixiong died very badly.

Half a month ago, the army collapsed, and he only brought dozens of personal soldiers to escape from the high mountains of Linzhao. The horses were naturally serious and had to be thrown away. This kind of suffering, without a day's work, the legs are swollen, the feet are broken, and the bodyguards drag or carry them through the mountains, the embarrassment can be imagined.

When he was hungry, he could only hunt some wild animals or gather some fruits to wrap his stomach. When he was tired, he could only sleep on the ground with some withered grass or branches to isolate the moisture on the ground. He lost a lot of weight, lost his former look, his cheeks were sunken, and his eyes were dull. Compared with the difficult escape, what was more painful was that despair was spreading in his heart.

In the past, the supreme ruler of the northern region who directed the country was completely defeated and was left with only a skin. He fled like a walking dead with his guards. After such days lasted for several days, a huge danger began to strike. Chasers have begun to appear behind them.

There are many expert guards around Lu Weixiong, but these experts, like him, have been in high positions for a long time and their skills have been in a state of degradation. Although with Lu Weixiong's original material support, their martial arts have improved compared to before , but sometimes not everything can be determined by high martial arts, at least in terms of escape, they are very unprofessional.

And obviously, the pursuers behind them are a group of very professional guys. After discovering that they have been tracked down, the guards set up suspicious formations and set up traps along the way, but they can't delay the pursuers at all. getting closer.

Fear invaded these pursuers all the time. Since three days ago, when some personal guards left without returning by inquiring about news or some other excuse, there were less than ten people who followed Lu Weixiong.These active guards know that at this moment Lu Weixiong is like a huge torch, shining in the eyes of the pursuers behind him, or that the commander-in-chief at this moment is more like a mass of delicious food exuding fragrance, countless flies Wild dogs and wolves are following the scent, and with him, every step they take is not a step closer to the gate of hell, but on the contrary, leaving him alone at this time, there will undoubtedly be more chances of survival.

Finally, on a smoggy morning, the first pursuers saw the target they had been chasing for nearly half a month in the jungle. These pursuers were all from the Flying Eagle Brigade of the Dingzhou Military Intelligence Investigation Department.

The short and fierce battle broke out in half an instant. Although the special soldiers of the Flying Eagle Brigade are good at tracking, lurking, and assassinating, their personal combat power is obviously inferior to the last personal guards around Lu Weixiong. The ten-man team was defeated and killed almost instantly, but what frightened the guards was that when these pursuers rushed up desperately, almost everyone raised their hands and shot a cymbal into the air. , The sharp sound of Ming Dy seems so harsh in the peaceful morning, one after another.

The blood-spattered bodyguards sprinted through the forest with Lu Weixiong, who was in despair, and they knew that in a short time, there would probably be a large number of pursuers around them. Now, they can only ask for God's blessing, let This fog is more violent, perhaps, they can use this fog to find a way out of the impossible.

But obviously, God is not sorry for this desperate fleeing team. When the first ray of sunlight tore through the morning fog and shot the light through the gaps in the forest on the rotten leaves on the ground, everyone was in despair. .

The fog was heavy, but it dissipated faster. The last ray of mist evaporated under the sunlight without a trace. The golden sun leaped into the east, bringing warmth. However, he smelled the breath of death in it. Asura's sickle had been raised high, but he didn't know when it fell.

The forest was dead silent, and the birds that were supposed to sing in the sun seemed to feel the ominous atmosphere in the forest. They either flapped their wings and flew away, or they died down, lying on their nests with their wings close to their bodies, with their heads down. Buried under the body, quietly waiting for the time to pass.

There was no wind, only the heavy panting of the fugitives and the rustling of the branches and leaves as they passed through the forest.

The fear of waiting disappears when it is really faced. At noon, when the sun climbs into the sky, the Yilian waterfall flows down tens of meters, and the huge water flow hits a pool of tens of meters square garden. As the cold fell on the fugitives, as they greedily scooped up the cool spring water down their throats, they were surrounded.

The quiet, expressionless pursuers surrounded them from three directions, and the gleaming crossbow in their hands reminded them that this was not a fair duel.

Li Zewu, the captain of the Flying Eagle Brigade, naturally wouldn't give these people a chance to get close. In the morning, a ten-man team was wiped out instantly, which gave him a full understanding of the combat power of these people. These people are all individual fighters. He He has no intention of competing with the opponent in martial arts. Every fighter in Feiying is a precious asset, and he would never want to see it being consumed meaninglessly. Like Wang Qi, he thinks all day long about how to obtain it at the lowest price. Biggest win.

Looking at the desperate fugitives opposite, Li Zewu took a step forward and said in a low voice, "Surrender, or die!" As his voice fell to the ground, hundreds of repeating crossbows were lifted up.

Someone once said that at the moment before death, people's brains are the most lucid. Many things that have long since disappeared from memory or are hidden deep in memory will appear in a blowout at this moment, and all the memories of life will be revealed. In the eyes.Right now, Lu Weixiong is in this state, and many things that he has forgotten unintentionally or on purpose flashed through his mind one by one, and the state of lost soul and walking dead for more than ten days left him at this moment. Some traits finally reappeared on him at the last moment. Although he had been put on the uniform of an ordinary soldier by his bodyguards, at this moment, when he drew the steel knife around his waist, that feeling Looking at his fingers, his aloof aura undoubtedly exudes.

He would not surrender, that would be an insult to him.

As he drew out his steel knife, the personal guards moved closer to him, raising the knife in their hands, with a look of determination on their faces.

Lu Weixiong raised his steel knife high and waved it vigorously: "Attack!" It seemed that at this moment, his subordinates were not just a few scattered guards, but thousands of soldiers.

More than a dozen people formed a small phalanx, surrounded Lu Weixiong in the middle, striding at first, and then trotting, rushing towards death without hesitation.

Li Zewu showed a look of admiration on his face, but he waved his hand vigorously without hesitation, and the sound of chirping immediately sounded, and the densely packed crossbow arrows tore through the air and shot towards the person who launched the death attack.

Fall, charge, fall again.

The attack lasted less than a breath, and all the attackers lay dead on the ground. The blood pooled into a stream and flowed into the pool behind them. The clear water in the pool immediately turned red, but was rushed The incoming current broke up.

"Take this person's body back, and bury the rest on the spot!" Li Zewu ordered.

Lu Weixiong's bloody corpse was placed on the top of the city wall in Linzhao County. Li Qing's Chinese army was still stationed here, but tens of thousands of troops had already been sent out. After Linzhao was captured, the entire Shunzhou Open under the iron hooves of Li Qing's Dingzhou army.

On a simple stretcher made of a few tree poles with green branches and leaves, lay this old man who called the wind and rain, his face was pale, but his expression was very calm. He must have thought through many things before he died. Now that he has embarked on this path, besides winning, he can only die.

With his hands behind his back, Li Qing leaned over and stared at this big man intently. No matter how noble you used to be, but death is so simple. Seeing another big Chu tyrant who fell in front of him, Li Qing's heart suddenly trembled After a few times, I couldn't tell what it was for.

Li Zewu reported to Li Qing how he killed Lu Weixiong in a low voice. Seeing the expression on the commander's face, he felt a little apprehensive. After all, at that time, as long as he was willing to pay a certain price, it was still possible to capture this man alive.

Li Qing stood up straight and interrupted Li Zewu's words, "You are right. Every soldier of ours is precious. There is no need to make unnecessary sacrifices. There is not much difference between killing him or capturing him alive. Lu Fengchun We will never bow to us just because we have Lu Weixiong in our hands, nor will we mess up our position just because we killed him."

Li Zewu was determined in his heart.

Zheng Zhiqiang on the side said angrily: "Commander, if you cut off the head of this dog thief and send it to Shenzhou, you can also disturb the opponent's morale!" Zheng Zhiqiang hated this guy to the bone, and it was the five thousand marines Ah, not counting those who fell behind on the marching road, in the battle of Linzhao alone, more than a thousand people died in the battle, and hundreds of people were injured and lost their fighting power. It's not easy for the navy to save such a fortune, so he squandered half of it all at once, and he can even think of the pain of his elder brother and Commander Deng.

Li Qing shook his head, "Call the military doctor, tidy him up, and bury him properly!" Li Qing waved his hand, sweeping away the negative emotions in his heart, "Give him the respect he deserves!"

"Isn't this too cheap for him?" Zheng Zhiqiang said in a low voice.

Li Qing glanced at him, and Zheng Zhiqiang lowered his head guiltily, "Zhiqiang, you lead the marines back and retreat along the Tuojiang River to Heishuiyang for repairs and supplements. After a little bit, grind it again, it will be of great use!"

Zheng Zhiqiang was immediately overjoyed when he received the personal praise from the commander in chief. Hearing the commander's tone, he was really going to be promoted, but he said that he was out of temper. Was he still out of character? But I have changed a lot, and now I am quite calm.

Li Qing couldn't help being a little amused when he saw Zheng Zhiqiang's Xu Yu's face turned dark. This man is really a temperamental person, not good at hiding his emotions. "Go, go, don't worry about the wounded soldiers in your department, I will arrange someone to send them back to Dingzhou!"

"Yes, Commander, the last general will retire!" Zheng Zhiqiang gave a military salute, turned around and strode down the city.

"Send an order to report the news of Lu Weixiong's death to all the armed forces and states." Li Qing ordered.
