Chapter 122 Mu Chixue
Guan Ximing was stunned.He frowned slightly, and said anxiously: "Brother Zhuo, what are you talking about... Isn't Zhang Hong the collaborator?"
Zhuo Yue forced a smile: "Yes, but..."
Even if Guan Ximing really discovered something, it was something from his previous life. Now that the situation is very different, what can he ask from Guan Ximing?
But he still couldn't help thinking: If Zhang Laohei found out that Guan Ximing was collaborating with the enemy, what would the child do?
In this life, Guan Ximing only noticed that Zhang Laohei was using Xinniao to communicate with the grassland people, but did not know what was written in the letter contained in Xinniao. Later, Zhuo Yue, Li Changxing and others took over the follow-up investigation.
But what if it was a previous life?If Li Changxing didn't exist at all at that time, Zhuo Yue was so careless that he didn't care about the brothers' recent situation. Guan Ximing, who discovered the strange thing, should be able to discover the conspiracy of collaborating with the enemy in the city if he pursued it alone.
If the collaborators were other people, Guan Ximing would have turned them in front of Lou Changfeng without hesitation.
But the collaborators are Zhang Laohei and Fu Wang.He is his most trusted brother.
What will he do?
Zhuo Yue stared blankly at Guan Ximing, a bit of hatred suddenly rose in his heart—hatred towards himself.
After the truce in the previous life, what did I do every day?Immersed in my own emotions, I go to the city wall to drink wine every day, or go horse racing outside the city, without noticing anything.
Did Guan Ximing try to seek his help at that time?
But was ignored by him who didn't care?
Until that red-blooded evening, the young man's eyes were tearing apart, watching the situation take a sudden turn and slide into the abyss of despair, amidst the whistling wind and horses neighing, he finally shouted out the truth that should have been told a long time ago, but in the next instant, it melted into flames. For ashes.
This seemingly cowardly boy has actually been protecting his brothers in his own way.
But it cost him his life.
"Brother Zhuo, what's wrong with you?" Guan Ximing put his hand on Zhuo Yue's shoulder, "What did you mean when you asked me just now?"
Zhuo Yue let out a sigh of relief and shook his head: "It's okay. It's more important to find Zhang Laohei."
Yes, he had to organize his thoughts now.No matter what happened in the previous life, it has passed, but now if he can no longer see the reality clearly, he will lose more things.
Guan Ximing nodded: "Brother Zhuo, we seem to be almost there."
Unknowingly, the two of them had already run a long distance, Zhuo Yue's whole body became more and more tense as he looked at the familiar scenery in front of him.The two continued to work hard for another cup of tea time, and finally reached a high ground.Looking up from a distance, I saw a place ten miles away as far as I could see, a place like a basin, surrounded by flying grass, which was golden in color in the setting sun, like the feathers of a divine bird.
Zhuo Yue said in a low voice, "It's here."
Quicksand nest!This is a place he will never forget in his life.
Guan Ximing set up an awning next to him to watch, and suddenly exclaimed: "Brother Zhuo, look! It's Brother Hei!"
Zhuo Yue took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw a small group of people in the depression.The surrounding people were obviously prairie people, and a strong man in the middle was pushed to the ground—it was Zhang Laohei!
Guan Ximing was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, even though he was about to rush down, Zhuo Yue grabbed him: "Don't be impulsive."
The quicksand nest is a natural ambush.The central terrain is low and can be used to besiege enemy soldiers, while the high places around are half a person's tall long grass can be used as cover.As long as people are forced into a depression, and then occupy a high place to catch a turtle in a urn, even if it is a siege, the people inside can be besieged to death.
Back then, Zhuo Yue suffered from his unfamiliarity with the terrain.He was forced into the pit by the prairie people with firecrackers, and suffered heavy losses. In the end, he wanted to lead his soldiers to fight hard but failed in the end.
Guan Ximing said urgently: "But Brother Hei—"
Zhuo Yue calmly said: "For the time being, he is not in danger of his life."
Today's Zhang Laohei has long been dismissed, and Zhang Hong has been investigated. Zhang Laohei alone cannot bring out the firecracker.The prairie people took so much trouble to lure him out, it was definitely not as simple as just trying to kill him.
Thinking of this, Zhuo Yue turned to Guan Ximing and said, "Give me your bow."
The two came out in a hurry, and they only brought sabers, bows and arrows with them.Hearing this, Guan Ximing quickly took off the bow feather and handed it to Zhuo Yue. Zhuo Yue put an arrow on the bow, and with a breath of air slowly inhaled from his chest, he drew the bow until the full moon.
His arms are like cast iron, his handsome profile looks like a knife cut, and he looks at the distance through the cold arrow without moving.The dark pupils were too calm and focused, and the chill that came out was a bit colder than a sword.
Guan Ximing looked at him, not even daring to breathe.
Zhuo Yue was indeed concentrating, the space in front of the arrow seemed to help him calm down, his breathing was sluggish, his blood flow slowed down, and the movement of the person targeted by the cold light in his hand seemed to be slowing down as well, all troubles and grasses were in his hands in insight.
He saw the prairie man pacing back and forth anxiously with a knife.
One grabbed Zhang Laohei's hair and asked sharply.
Zhang Laohei shook his head violently and spat at him severely.
The man was furious, and he raised his hand high as if he was about to slap him down——
Zhuo Yue's pupils shrank suddenly, and the fingers that were hooking the bowstring suddenly loosened, and a gust of wind like meteors and flying fire swallowed thousands of miles, and galloped away from his hands!
"Ah—" A shrill roar resounded through the wild.
Zhang Laohei suddenly raised his head, just in time to see a cold arrow piercing through the raised palm of the prairie man like a white rainbow piercing the sun.The arrow pierced through the palm of the hand, still without any strength left, and nailed it to the haystack with a stream of sprayed blood, and the tail of the arrow swung from side to side furiously.
What a powerful arrow!
The prairie man held his palm with a bloody hole and shouted "Ambush" and "Warning", and everyone dispersed immediately.
After Zhuo Yue shot an arrow on the hillside, he immediately pushed Guan Ximing to the ground, and squinted his eyes to observe carefully through the grass.Sure enough, as he expected, the long grass around the depression was in turmoil at this moment, and the trend of swinging from side to side didn't look like the wind was blowing at all.
He leaned close to Guan Ximing and whispered: "There are 15 people in the center of the depression, but there are nearly a thousand people ambushed in the long grass above. The two of us will definitely not be able to reach it. Now I will stay here to observe the situation. You immediately turn around and go back to meet Chief Li." Let them go. After receiving the reinforcements, let them spread out to the left and right to surround the place in an arc shape. Don't rush forward without orders, and it's better to shoot from a long distance, understand?"
Guan Ximing knew that the situation was critical, so he didn't argue with Zhuo Yue about who would stay and who would go.He nodded vigorously, got up and went in quickly without making a sound.
Zhuo Yue took a deep breath, and quickly changed his position, hiding among the mounds and vegetation, waiting for an opportunity to observe.The prairie people around Liusha Nest were not sure how many people were ambushing around them, and they didn't dare to act rashly, they just looked around vigilantly in a defensive state.
Zhuo Yue prostrated himself on the ground, waiting quietly, and after a while, he felt the ground under him tremble slightly.
There are horses galloping in the distance, they are reinforcements!
Zhuo Yue quickly got up and ran towards his horse.As soon as I got on my horse, I saw a group of hundreds of riders coming on horseback. The rumbling sound of horseshoes hitting the ground was like thunder rolling on a sunny day!Zhuo Yue rode his horse to meet him, and he saw that the two leaders were Xiao Ga and Guan Ximing.
"Brother Zhuo!" Xiao Ga ran close and threw his hands, "Your axe!"
Zhuo Yue raised his hand to catch the Xuanhua axe, and skillfully rolled a flower: "Thank you!"
The reinforcements brought by Xiaoga were about three hundred people, which was not ample, but there were only so many people he could mobilize in a hurry.Zhuo Yue gave an order in a deep voice, and the crowd spread out in a semicircle, sharp arrows swept across the long grassy slope like a swarm of locusts crossing the border!
The prairie people lying in ambush in the long grass screamed and jumped up to call the flying arrows.Just now there was a peaceful long grassy slope, now it is like a school of fish jumping out of the water, one after another is very lively.
Zhuo Yue stretched his bow and set his arrows, his face was as cold as iron, and he aimed at each arrow, and slowly closed the circle with the people around him and moved closer to the depression.
At this time, he heard the howling of wolves, Zhuo Yue turned his head suddenly, and saw a gray shadow passing the ground like a gust of wind, first breaking through the gap between the two armies, flying up and biting a prairie man by the throat.
Zhuo Yue couldn't help laughing, Xiao Ga came to his side and said, "This wolf must have felt something when he saw us leaving the city as a whole, and followed closely, so I took it with me."
During the period of returning to Yulin Pass, Zhuo Yue was worried that Brother Chun would scare the people in the city, so he left it outside the city, and occasionally went out of the city to see it when he was free.The incident happened in a hurry this time, but Brother Chun himself did not expect to follow up. It seems that wolves really have a keen sense of danger.
But what about the other wolf cub in his family?
It happened that Xiao Ga said, "Li Changxing left the city at the same time as me, but he went in the opposite direction."
"Ah?" Zhuo Yue was puzzled, "Where did he go?"
In such a critical situation, with Li Changxing's temperament, he should have come to him in a hurry, but why did he go in the opposite direction now?
"I don't know." Xiao Ga said indifferently, "Maybe he was afraid of danger and hid."
The corners of Zhuo Yue's mouth twitched twice - the two were still at odds as always.
The two had no time to talk on the battlefield, and soon separated again.
The encirclement was tightened one step further, and the two sides quickly engaged in hand-to-hand combat, and the sound of shouting and killing gold and stone colliding resounded through the sky.
Zhuo Yue's Xuanhua ax danced like a storm, quickly tore a hole from the crowd, and hit the center of the depression, followed by Xiao Ga and Guan Ximing.But I saw a group of prairie people in the center of the depression holding Zhang Laohei, waiting for them.
Zhuo Yue clenched the Xuanhua ax tightly and roared violently.
It was this group of people who killed him in the previous life, and now come to kill his brother in this life!
If I don't cut them off today, it's hard to appease my hatred!
Senguang's flickering ax turned into a roaring dragon, swallowing the black and yellow with anger, stirring up the sea of clouds, and frightening the sky in all directions!
A prairie man raised a knife to block him, but Zhuo Yue chopped him off his horse with an axe.Zhuo Yue's blood surged up, his eyes became red, and he killed two people in an instant, and another person beside him was bitten in two by Brother Chun.
Seeing that the situation was not right, several grassland people immediately held Zhang Laohe in front of them, and said sharply: "Stop!"
Zhang Laohei gritted his teeth tightly and struggled hard, but was kicked on his knees and staggered to the knees, and the knife was stabbed at the side of his neck.
The eyes of the three people on the opposite side are about to split.
Zhuo Yue clenched the Xuanhua ax tightly, and slowly took a step forward.Half of his body was stained red with red blood, and the fresh blood steamed into a white mist in the cold wind, making him look like an evil spirit crawling out of the Ming River, strangling his soul for his life.
"Let go of him." His voice was low and hoarse, "I'll leave your whole body."
Brother Chun stood by his leg, his hair all over his body suddenly fluffed up, his wolf eyes were sharp, and he bared his teeth and growled lowly.
Several prairie people sneered: "Zhuo Yue, it's really not easy waiting for you."
Zhuo Yue's heart was full of anger and hatred: "Huda people?"
"That's right." The leading prairie man said with a sneer, "You and I have no enmity, but you and that Central Plains bastard repeatedly sabotaged our family's plan, and today we will desperately want to leave your life here!"
"It's a joke." Guan Ximing scolded angrily, "I don't even look at the situation now, you have no way to escape! Let him go as soon as possible and catch him without a fight, so that he won't die so badly!"
The Hudas sneered.
Zhuo Yue suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
However, the Huda man on the right suddenly raised his arms, and a falcon resting on his shoulder suddenly flapped its wings, rushed to the sky at high speed and screamed, and rushed to the northwest.At the same time, the leading Huda man chopped down at Zhang Laohei's neck. Zhuo Yue was just about to pick up his ax to rescue him, when suddenly the strong wind howled, and a flying arrow pierced the Huda man's throat, causing him to fall to the ground.
Xiao Ga put down his bow, rushed up and cut off the rope in Zhang Laohei's hand with a knife.
Zhang Laohei struggled to get up, looked at the brothers silently, and stopped talking.Zhuo Yue clenched his fists, stepped forward in two steps, and punched Zhang Laohei hard in the stomach.
Zhang Laohei coughed, staggered two steps, and was hit on the back of the neck by Zhuo Yue's elbow.Guan Ximing and Xiao Ga watched from the sidelines and did not stop them.
Using both hands and feet, Zhuo Yue beat up Zhang Laohei cleanly, and finally picked up his collar and gnashed his teeth, saying: "Idiot!"
Zhang Laohei coughed dryly twice, and said in a hoarse voice: "...well played."
"You're fucking stupid, do you know that?" Zhuo Yue gripped his collar tightly, "Do you think these prairie people are Bodhisattvas descending to earth? They can save ordinary people? You'd rather beg him than me? Ah ?!"
Zhang Laohei's pupils trembled, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Zhuo Yue ruthlessly threw him aside: "Go back and settle accounts with you!"
He felt a little uneasy.People were rescued so easily, and there were not many Hudas ambushing here. Did the enemy army only plan to say a few harsh words to them after making such a big circle?
"Retreat first." Zhuo Yue turned his head and said to Xiao Ga, "I always feel a little—"
Before the words were finished, someone shouted from the high ground above: "There are ambushes—yes, there are a lot of ambushes!"
Zhuo Yue's pupils suddenly tightened, and he rushed to the high ground and looked into the distance.But at the end of the horizon where the setting sun was setting in the west, the dust and smoke billowed towards Xiaohan, as if someone had slashed the wilderness with a broad ax and was coming towards them aggressively.
The falcon that was going back and forth snarled and swooped down, and Brother Chun immediately rushed forward in a manic manner, roaring continuously.
At least tens of thousands of horses came!
Zhuo Yue turned his head abruptly, and shouted sharply: "Retreat——"
The author has something to say: It is impossible to retreat, after all, my husband is on his way!
The countdown is over!So cool hahahaha.It’s been a long time since I wrote about the battlefield, this chapter is very enjoyable~
