Heaven Defying Formation Mage

Chapter 496 Assassination
Cold wind, frozen ground.

The bad weather and the emptiness in the stomach made it even more exhausting to move forward.

Qin Mingtai looked up at the large army ahead that had disappeared into the wind and sand, and secretly sighed in his heart.

As early as the day before, his horse had been given to the wounded who were seriously injured and unable to move, and his food had been distributed to the hungry soldiers. But even so, he led two thousand soldiers to escort the wounded. Shi also drifted away from the large army led by Captain Mu.

Wu Xiaowei took people to search the dispersed Wu Jun. He had already left for a day and a half at this time, and he estimated that he would not return to reconcile with him until at least today's evening.Qin Mingtai stretched out his hand to turn up the collar, and tightened the straps of the cloak. Then he turned to look at the soldier beside him and asked with a smile, "How is it? Can you hold it?"

Seeing the general who was walking with him greet him warmly with a smile on his face, the Yue soldier was a little incoherent with excitement: "No...it's okay! I can hold on! General, you, you..." Probably he also wanted to ask the general to hold on I can't hold back, but when the words came to my lips, I felt something was wrong, so I stuttered and didn't know what to say.

"Well! It's good if you can hold on!" Qin Mingtai didn't care about the opponent's gaffe, stretched out his hand and patted the opponent's shoulder encouragingly, turned his head to look around, and said loudly: "With the wounded and hungry, It is indeed a bit bitter. But Captain Mu has already gone to attack the city, I believe that when we arrive, he has already captured the city of Wu State, and will have good wine and meat waiting for us!"

After finishing speaking, Qin Mingtai laughed loudly himself first, looking very relaxed, as if he had already seen the delicious food and wine.

These words are similar to Cao Cao's wishing for plum blossoms and quenching thirst. In an instant, some soldiers could imagine the appearance of large pieces of meat and large bowls of wine at the city gate, and their eyes lit up.

"Grandma's, when I get to the city, I must drink to my heart's content!"

"I want to eat three big bowls of meat, whoever grabs me will be in a hurry!"

"Go, go! I can't wait to eat meat and drink!"

……

Everyone said one sentence to another, talking in a hurry, and their feet became more and more powerful, and the overall marching speed accelerated a lot.

Seeing everyone happily discussing how to eat and sleep after breaking the city, Qin Mingtai only felt bitter in his heart and couldn't help lowering his eyes.Only he knew clearly that it was still unknown whether the city could be broken before the sun set tomorrow, and it was a real fact that these thousands of people had no dry food and had to go on their way hungry.The solution I just had can only solve it for a while, and when the excitement of the soldiers is over, they will feel even more tired.However, even if he knew the consequences, it would be hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, what can I do as the coach?

Thinking of this, Qin Mingtai couldn't help sighing slightly, and turned his eyes to his horse.If there is really no other way, then the only option is to kill your own horse...

While moving his footsteps, while secretly calculating in his heart, Qin Mingtai hadn't thought of a better solution, but suddenly something happened in front of him.

A gust of wind and sand suddenly blew up in front of his eyes, almost fascinating his eyes, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to block the wind, but Qin Mingtai saw a cold light flashing from the corner of his eyes.

This is... He didn't have time to give a warning, so he could only release his thoughts as quickly as possible to protect himself.It's a pity that he is fast, and that cold light is even faster.

When his thoughts had just been released from his body, he felt a chill in his throat, and then a bloody smell came from his mouth.

There are assassins... Qin Mingtai opened his mouth, and blood came out mixed with the air.He looked at the figure breaking out of the ground in front of him, with an incredible expression on his face.

In such a severe cold climate and frozen ground, how could someone hide in the icy ground for so long...how could he be able to bear it...

However, Qin Mingtai could no longer get answers to these questions, and the next moment, blood spurted fiercely from the wound on his neck.

The screams of the soldiers came from his ears, and he vaguely felt the surge of spiritual energy in the surrounding world, as if the formation was agitated.He really wanted to tell the soldiers beside him that a formation had been set up here and they should evacuate quickly, but he could only make a gurgling sound and fell on his back.

"General—"

"There are assassins!"

……

The Yue soldiers around Qin Mingtai didn't have time to react, they saw a black figure suddenly sprang out from the ground, and then General Qin Mingtai fell on his back and died.

They screamed in terror, wanting to surround the assassins, but before they could move, yellow sand blew all over the sky from nowhere, squinting their eyes, making them unable to see clearly and unable to move an inch.

Mo Xingnian, who was maintaining the operation of the formation, felt that her mental power was continuously draining rapidly, and she couldn't help feeling dizzy with her cold limbs.

"Are you okay?" A young voice sounded beside him, and then he put one hand on Mo Xingnian's waist.

Mo Xingnian raised his eyes and saw the young soldier staring at him with dark eyes full of worry.

"It's okay!" Mo Xingnian gritted his teeth and shook his head slightly, "Hurry up! Captain Mu is still waiting!"

"Yes!" Hundreds of people shouted in unison, wielding their sabers more forcefully.

Although the formation blocked the sight of the Vietnamese army, it did not block all voices.Mo Xingnian's words reached the ears of the nearby Vietnamese army, and immediately made them extremely indignant.

"It's the general who was assassinated by Colonel Mu!"

"Go to the military school lieutenant to avenge the general!"

"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

"The general's revenge must be avenged! Go!"

……

The Vietnamese army who lost their way seemed a little disorganized, but soon some people began to move towards the rear trying to break away from the formation.

The formation formed by Mo Xingnian only covers a range of 300 meters. As long as the Vietnamese army withdraws from this distance, the field of vision will naturally be restored.

The Yue army who withdrew from the formation looked forward intently, and couldn't help being even more angry when he saw this.

"Sure enough, it's Lieutenant Mu's formation! This sky-filled yellow sand is what he used to deal with the Far East Army last time!"

"The only one who knows our marching route is Captain Mu! It really is him!"

"Bah! Did he think that if he kills the general, he can take his place? Let's go to Captain Wu to avenge the general!"

"Yes! You can't let the general die so vaguely!"

The Vietnamese army who escaped from the formation had a conclusion in their hearts, and left quickly full of indignation.In their view, even if they stayed, they would just die, and it was impossible for them to be the opponent of Mu Xiaowei's formation.At the beginning, Captain Mu set up the formation, and the scene of them massacring the Far East Army of Wu State is still vivid in my mind, but today, I became the target of massacre instead.

escape!Where there is life, there is hope!I must get out alive and tell the military captain the truth about the assassination of the general!

Many Vietnamese soldiers had the same belief in their hearts, so they fled in a hurry without looking back.

The wind and sand gradually subsided, and the corpses of Vietnamese soldiers were revealed, and the soldiers standing among the corpses, holding sabers, looked at each other and laughed loudly.

happy!What a joy!They just knew that by following General Xiao Bu, they could kill those thieves from the country of Yue!
Hearing everyone's laughter, the corners of Mo Xingnian's lips curled up slightly, but soon she put away her smile, coughed lightly and shouted: "Now is not the time to be happy, hurry up!"

Listening to what the Vietnamese soldiers said just now, they still left a lot of people nearby, and they may come soon.Therefore, now is not the time to celebrate, we must hurry up and retreat!

At this time, Mo Xingnian had established absolute prestige in the mind of the Far East Army.So as soon as she said to retreat, everyone immediately suppressed their smiles, quickly cleared the battlefield and then evacuated.

Less than two sticks of incense time after their figures disappeared, a gust of wind mixed with dust rolled over from a distance.

The military captain rode a horse and ran at the forefront of the troops, even throwing off the soldiers on horseback by hundreds of meters.

General!General Qin!Lieutenant Wu couldn't digest the news he had heard until now, he hurried towards the scene of the accident, hoping for the first time that the soldier was lying about the military.

In the distance, corpses everywhere appeared in the field of vision of Captain Wu, his pupils shrank, he swung his whip again, and slapped the horse's rear ruthlessly.hurry up!Hurry up!Maybe the general can still save...

Before the mount got close, the Martial Officer could not wait to kick his feet, and the whole person flew up from the horse's back and swept forward.

Compared with the corpses of other Vietnamese soldiers, Qin Mingtai's corpse is relatively complete, and the clothes on his body are also very eye-catching.Therefore, the military captain saw the general's position at a glance and rushed straight there.

"General!" The military captain knelt down in front of Qin Mingtai's corpse, looked at the wound on the other's neck that cut off the trachea, looked at the dead eyes of the other party, and gritted his teeth, "General! Why did you..." Before Mingming One day he was still concerned about telling himself to be careful, but now he was lying lifeless on the ground with his body cold and his neck bleeding.How could the general die!how so!
Lieutenant Wu was extremely remorseful, he hated why he ran so far away to search around, and even more hated that he was not with the general when he was attacked.

Looking at the corpse of General Qin Mingtai with red eyes, Captain Wu tremblingly stretched out his hand to close the general's eyelids, but because his hands were shaking so badly, he failed several times.

The Vietnamese army behind them arrived one after another. The moment they saw the general's body, everyone fell silent, and then knelt down.

Captain Wu didn't seem to know anything about what was going on behind him, he just stared at the hole in General Qin Mingtai's throat.After a while, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Where is the soldier who reported the letter? Tell me the situation at that time in detail!"

All the soldiers around Qin Mingtai had already been killed, only the soldiers a little further behind escaped intact.They did not see the general being assassinated with their own eyes, but heard the shouts of the soldiers around the general.

Even such a piecemeal and intermittent narration is enough to make Captain Wu guess what happened.He clenched his fists and hammered fiercely on the ground, smashing a big hole in the cold and hard frozen soil, and countless mud flew up and slashed across his regretful face.

"Mu! If I don't kill you, I swear you won't be a human being!"
