The king behind the empress

Chapter 431

In the early spring, the environment was not considered dry, but with the fire oil and those flammable tents, after the fire ignited, it became uncontrollable.

"It's on fire, put out the fire, save...uh..."

Some people who were awakened by the fire had just had time to shout, and the soldiers of the crime camp who had already arrived were immediately covered by a wave of arrows.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!!!"

This wave of arrows directly exposed the existence of the crime camp, but because of the fire, they could only shout on the spot, but they couldn't organize people to encircle and suppress the crime camp. Even if some generals occasionally organized some people, they would He was targeted by the criminal camp.

There is no need to surround them at all. After a wave of arrow rain, most of these gathered people will fall down in an instant.

Under the situation where the crime camp and the first boarding camp deliberately created chaos, the fire quickly spread to the small half of the camp. They were burned to death in the fire.

There were more soldiers who were awakened the moment the flames spread over. Although they braved the fire and forced their way out, their cotton clothes were inevitably ignited by the flames. In just an instant, these soldiers became one fire man.

"Save me, save me!!!"

Under the severe pain of the flames, these soldiers screamed and ran like headless chickens. However, the result of these firemen running around in the camp was to ignite more tents and make the fire spread even more. quick.

"Don't panic, each battalion summons its own men, first go to rescue... ah..."

A man who looked like a general came out of the camp and saw this situation, so he jumped to a high place, trying to use his cohesion to gather the soldiers under his command, but Xu Boyuan shot him with an arrow before he could finish his sentence. down.

"The imperial army is coming, run!"

Xu Boyuan took the soldiers under his command and shouted in the camp at the top of his voice. By the way, he saw that if anyone came out to organize the soldiers, he would kill them directly.

In the dark night, with the raging fire and the shouts of killing everywhere, the leaderless soldiers immediately collapsed.

Some soldiers who were not burned by the fire crawled out of the camp, didn't even bother to take up their weapons, and ran outside in a hurry. Their running immediately caused a chain reaction, and many people in the distance didn't know what happened The soldiers, after being affected, thought that the imperial army had broken the camp, and immediately fled outwards in a swarm.

In the dark night, these soldiers only felt that there were shouts of killing everywhere, and they couldn't distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. Some soldiers who were terrified to the extreme, because they were worried about being killed, drew out their knives and slashed at the soldiers approaching them. Hands on, the camp became even more chaotic.

Looking at the camp that had already been bombed, Xu Boyuan sent an order in a deep voice: "Make a hole and drive them to Liangjie Mountain."

"Anyone who goes astray, beheaded immediately!"

"Here!"

Xu Boyuan's soldiers responded, and then immediately dispersed to expel these panicked soldiers.

They don't need to do much at all, under the threat of arrow rain, those chaotic soldiers will spontaneously flee in the direction Xu Boyuan wants them to go, they only need to kill those soldiers when they run in other directions That's it.

Although it was in chaos, out of the instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, these soldiers who were driven away still followed the "survival path" deliberately left by Xu Boyuan and fled all the way. The number of soldiers who died was far more than the number killed by Xu Boyuan and the others.

Of the 15 soldiers, about [-] to [-] died after the bombing of the camp, and the remaining nearly [-] soldiers were driven to Liangjie Mountain by the criminal camp like pigs.

On the way of fleeing, a general suddenly came to his senses.

"No, this is the direction of Liangjie Mountain, they want to drive us to Liangjie Mountain!"

As a general, although he is not good at commanding troops, he still knows a little bit about the terrain, especially the Liangjie Mountain he is talking about now, which has a special terrain, so he remembers it very clearly.

Liangjie Mountain is a canyon, its mountain shape is like a common line of sky, the two mountains are next to each other, but the two big mountains of Liangjie Mountain are slightly farther apart, and the most strange thing is that it The entrance is narrow, but the inside is extremely empty.

If his army of [-] was driven into Liangjie Mountain, then the pursuers behind only needed to block the entrance, and they would be trapped to death behind Liangjie Mountain.

"I can't run any further!"

Although the general said so, he did not stop, because he was surrounded by soldiers fleeing forward. If he dared to stop and block the way of those people, those people would not care whether he was a general or not, and they would stab him with a knife. Come here, or push him aside.

In this case, if one accidentally falls to the ground when being pushed, it will end up being trampled to death.

So although he was burning with anxiety, he didn't dare to stop. Instead, he ran forward with the fleeing soldiers and greeted the guards who followed him.

"Zhang Hu, Zhang Wei, gather the soldiers as much as possible, we can't run after them anymore, if we go down, we will die!"

"Here!"

Gathering up soldiers is a very difficult task in the fugitive army. Zhang Yi took his personal guards and searched for familiar generals while fleeing. After fleeing for nearly two hours, he only gathered around [-] people.

Although these people are nothing compared to the 2000 army, at least these people gave Zhang Yi the capital to stop. Seeing that he was about to reach the boundary of Liangjie Mountain, Zhang Yi brought the [-] People want to stop these routs.

"Don't rush forward any more, the Liangjie Mountain is in front of you, it's a dead end!"

Zhang Yi led 2000 soldiers, armed with weapons, and blocked these routs. As for the front, they did not dare to stand. There were only [-] of them. They will be trampled so that even the corpses will not be left behind.

So they stood on the side, preparing to stop these soldiers while gathering more people in order to better organize the army. If there were enough people, he might be able to fight back directly.

While Zhang Yi was planning his actions, Xiandengying, who was following behind, also noticed that they were standing still together. They didn't even bother to use crossbow arrows, and rushed up with knives.

What kind of general will bring out what kind of soldiers, under Xu Boyuan's command the first to go to the camp, there is only one style, that is fearless.

The two hundred or so who boarded the camp first, faced soldiers ten times their size, without any hesitation at all, under the leadership of their respective generals, they rushed over directly.

Although at night, Zhang Yi couldn't see how many enemy troops there were, but the scale of 200 people was not that big at all, so Zhang Yi didn't worry too much, but directly led his troops forward to fight, wanting to annihilate them. committed by the enemy.

It's just that he felt something was wrong as soon as he got started. The moment the weapons of the two sides were handed over, the long knife in his hand was almost blown away, and before he could react, another soldier who went to the camp first, who cooperated very tacitly, had already stabbed the knife into his body.

"Pfft~"

As the first camp soldier pulled the knife out of his body, Zhang Yi could clearly hear the sound of blood splashing out of his body with the knife, and the next moment, he felt another knife stabbed into him. his chest.

After two stabs, Zhang Yi, who had lost his vitality, fell directly to the ground, and before falling to the ground, the last scene Zhang Yi saw in his eyes was this strange army, slaughtering his own like a chicken. guard.

The 2000 people Zhang Yi gathered with great difficulty were defeated by Xiandeng camp in just a cup of tea. Thoughts of resistance.

After seeing the leader Zhang Yi and others died, there was no need to go to the camp first to continue fighting, and they immediately collapsed.

Going to the camp first did not kill them all, but killed some soldiers who were running around, and then continued to drive the defeated army to flee in the direction of Liangjie Mountain.

The same scene happened several times in this defeated army, but the result is always the same, that is, they were discovered by the camp or criminal camp who drove them all the way, and then rushed to deal with the leader. Crushed, broken again, and rejoined the fleeing ranks.

Nearly [-] troops fled for most of the night, and it was only when the sky was slightly bright that they managed to escape to Liangjie Mountain.

Along the way, in addition to breaking up the camp they wanted to gather, in order to give them a sense of urgency, Xu Boyuan also let his soldiers shoot arrows at the defeated army from time to time, and they trampled each other to death, more than [-] people arrived Now there are only [-] to [-] left.

Once within the Liangjie Mountains, Xu Boyuan gave up hunting and asked the people from the crime camp to block the exit, and then he sent people to deliver firewood and kerosene to the cliffs on both sides.

"That's not right."

Zhao Qing, the coach of the 15 army, has been struggling until now. At this time, he finally found something wrong. The terrain here is very open, but there is no other exit. It is like a cloth bag. If they are pretended, they are forced into a natural trap.

"You can't stay here for long."

Because of the cold weather and the absence of Xu Boyuan's pursuit, Zhao Qing finally gathered the soldiers.

After seeing this kind of terrain, he didn't even have the mood to count the casualties, so he directly summoned the remaining generals to discuss countermeasures.

Their army ran too hastily, and many soldiers didn't even have weapons, let alone luggage. If they were trapped here, they would starve to death here without the need for the pursuers to do anything.

"We have to kill!"

One of Zhao Qing's generals said: "Just now I sent people to scout, and the pursuers behind us are only a few thousand people. It only takes one charge to destroy them."

"Only a few thousand people?"

Zhao Qing asked in disbelief, "You mean that the enemy troops who chased us were only a few thousand?"

"Yes."

The general said bitterly: "They just took advantage of our unpreparedness and caught us off guard."

"If we fight head-on, these rats are definitely not our opponents!"

"Bastard!"

Hearing this, Zhao Qing suddenly patted the rock wall next to him. He originally thought how many people the enemy army had. Along the way, he didn't even dare to organize the manpower. He only dared to run away with his bodyguards. With only a few thousand people, he had already turned around and killed them back.

"Zhao Yan, I'll give you 1 people, you go and lead your troops to destroy those people!"

Zhao Qing said with a gloomy face: "Remember, their leader must be caught alive, I will kill him alive!"

With 15 people beaten like this by thousands of people, even if he can take Jieyang City by then, he will inevitably be punished, so at this moment Zhao Qing hates Xu Boyuan very much.

"Here!"

Zhao Yan responded confidently, and then said, "Don't worry, Commander, I will definitely bring that man alive to you."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yan directly selected 1 soldiers who were fairly well-armed, mobilized a little bit, and also emphasized that the enemy's army was only a few thousand, and the morale of the [-] people was immediately boosted.

"It really came."

Looking at Zhao Yan who was coming to this side in an array, Chen Jiu who was staying here was not surprised. The Liangjie Mountain and Valley was the only exit. If they didn't want to stand still, they had to kill people like themselves.

It's a pity that the exits of the mountains and valleys of the two realms are narrow, like the terrain they handle, and they can only form a team of less than a thousand people at the same time, so Chen Jiu is not worried at all.

"Teams one to five follow me."

The crime camp did not have the habit of waiting for others to take the initiative to attack, so Chen Jiu directly selected 1000 people, and then said in a deep voice: "Let go and kill them, don't stay behind."

"The archers in the rear are holding the formation. If there is any accident, if necessary, they can directly release arrows without worrying about us."

"Here!"

The soldiers of the crime camp responded, and even those in the first to fifth teams did not show the same expression when they heard Chen Jiu say that they don't need to worry about their lives.

In Chen Jiu's eyes, their criminal battalion, including Chen Jiu himself, were all consumables, so it seemed that this kind of thing had already happened in the army, so they had long been accustomed to Chen Jiu's style, so there was no accident.

"Sin camp, follow me to kill!"

With the sword in his hand, Chen Jiu didn't care about the formation at all, and rushed out at the first.

The army on Zhao Yan's side came towards Chen Jiu with shouts of killing.

Although Chen Jiu and the criminal camp behind him also took the initiative to charge, they were terrifyingly quiet. Everyone, from Chen Jiu to the criminal camp soldiers under his command, made no unnecessary noise, and rushed forward silently holding a knife.

This strange silence made Zhao Yan feel a little terrified. The shouting during the charge of the army was not useless. The collective shouting can bring some sense of security to the soldiers, and because of the extreme excitement, they can make the soldiers ignore their hearts. The sense of fear can greatly improve the morale of soldiers.

But today, suddenly seeing an army charging silently made Zhao Yan feel extremely uncomfortable, so he subconsciously slowed down his pace and let the soldiers under his command charge out first, while his own footsteps slowly fell to the ground. behind.

With almost the same number of soldiers that the two armies could contact, Zhao Yan's team was almost defeated in the first battle.

The soldiers of the crime camp were not only far stronger than Zhao Yan's soldiers, but also sophisticated in tactics. They fought on the edge of life and death all year round, and they had already mastered the skills of killing people on the battlefield.

The long knives in their hands didn't swing very far, but they possessed the three characteristics of quickness, ruthlessness and precision. When the knife hits, blood will be seen, almost one knife at a time. As soon as they fought, Zhao Yan's soldiers immediately fell down. Row.

"What kind of army is this?"

Zhao Yan watched clearly from behind. These soldiers of the criminal camp killed one of their own soldiers with a single swing of the sword, and when they retracted the long sword, their faces were calm as if they had killed a chicken, and then went on without a pause. Continue to take out the knife.

If according to their killing method, his 1 people were killed by him, I am afraid that their 1000 people would not have much loss, right?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan suddenly became terrified. He didn't care about his soldiers, so he turned around and fled towards the depths of the valley.

"Puff, puff~"

In the valley, apart from the shouts of soldiers under Zhao Yan's command, there was only the sound of blades entering their bodies. The soldiers of the crime camp were like silent gods of death, constantly harvesting the lives of these ten thousand soldiers.

When these soldiers were a little apprehensive about being killed, they subconsciously walked towards their generals, but when they looked, they were all in vain.

"The general ran away, the general ran away!!!"

The soldier who yelled this voice was a little bit broken because of fear, and after yelling this sentence, he couldn't care about anything else, he turned his head and ran deep into the valley.

The unmanned army collapsed in an instant. After all, they were not elites. In addition, they were a little scared after being killed by the criminal camp, so they didn't bother to check whether the man's shout was true or not. Turn around and run away.

Chen Jiu led the criminal camp to charge for a while, until he saw the large army inside, he stopped his pursuit and led the criminal camp back to the exit to block the retreat of these soldiers.

"Marshal, you can't fight, you can't fight!"

Zhao Yan fled back in front of Zhao Qing in a panic, and said with a panicked look: "The army outside is definitely the elite of the imperial court, and their strength is not inferior to mine. They blocked the exit, and we can't get out at all. !"

"fart!"

When Zhao Qing saw Zhao Yan coming back, he was a little angry at first, but before he could say anything, he heard Zhao Yan's words, and immediately became furious.

"Come on, drag it down and behead it."

"Master, what I said is true, what I said is true."

Zhao Yan, who was dragged out by Zhao Qing's two personal guards, was terrified when he heard Zhao Qing's order, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Don't kill me, Commander, spare my life!" .”

"Cousin...cousin...you can't do this!"

"Shut his mouth!"

Hearing Zhao Yan call his cousin, Zhao Qing's face became even more gloomy. Originally, if he didn't call his relationship with him, others begged for mercy, and he punished him a little, and the matter was over.

In the end, this fellow unexpectedly shouted out the relationship between the two of them, and now even if he wanted to save him, he had no choice.
