Chapter 263 The Battle of Wei County (4)
At night, there were faint clouds in the sky, covering the moonlight. Yang Tao led 50,000 people and horses to walk in the winding mountain path. From time to time, you could hear the sound of trees around him whirling under the mountain wind. This is the remnant of the Black Mountains. Although the peaks are not tall, the terrain is very complex. There are hillsides, hills, and wastelands everywhere, and the roads are well connected. Yang Tao walked in with his men and horses. If he had no guide, he would be lost.
Yang Tao, who was walking in the front of the team, was riding a white horse, wearing bright iron armor, surrounded by generals, and flags were waving behind him, but Yang Tao's green face was frowning. I don't know why he was a little uneasy since he stepped into this forest. Yang Tao glanced at the generals around him, thought for a while, and asked the people around him, "Where are the Big Nine Kings and others?"
"Master, I don't know about this. An hour ago, I saw them in the mountains and forests, but I have never seen them again!" Changshan scratched his head and said honestly.
The other generals also said the same thing, and the last time they saw Da Jiuwan and others was one hour ago.
"I haven't seen anyone for several hours? Why are these three guys so unreliable now?" Yang Tao said in his heart, then turned on the communicator and wanted to call the Big Nine King to ask what's going on, but unexpectedly got a system prompt that the player was not online.
When Yang Tao heard the system prompt, he frowned and sent a call request to the other two. The results were the same, they were not online, which gave Yang Tao a bad premonition. Judging from the time Yang Tao spent with them, although the three Big Nine Kings and the other two were usually unreliable, they could still do the task when they had tasks. Even if there was something in reality and needed to go offline, they didn't need three to go offline at the same time, and they didn't say hello to him. This was really not their style. Yang Tao had doubts in his heart and called the other people's ID.
The Big Ninety-Three Men had introduced several of their subordinates to Yang Tao before, and several of them were responsible for the team safety with the Big Ninety-Three Men. However, after Yang Tao dialed several numbers in a row, he got news that the players were not online, which made him alert and thought that something must have happened.
Yang Tao was thinking about the possibility of this situation. One was that the Big Nine King and others had rebelled. Although this possibility was not very large, it was not impossible. After all, Big Nine King and others were originally from the prosperous era of all mountains and were taken in by him before. Now Cangyan Valley is likely to face a catastrophe, and the possibility of their rebellion is not without. Another possibility is that there are enemy troops looking around nearby. Thousands of Big Nine King and others may have been killed quietly. But what made Yang Tao wonder is that the forces that can quietly kill thousands of people under Big Nine King should be strong. It is no problem to deal with his 50,000 troops. It has been a few hours now, so why haven't you taken action yet?
However, no matter whether these two situations are true, this is a place of right and wrong. Yang Tao and others are in extremely dangerous situations and must leave quickly, and then change will occur.
Thinking of this, Yang Tao quickly ran with his men and headed towards the north. On the way, he did not forget to send soldiers again as surveillances to investigate the surrounding situation, but the scope of the investigation was not as large as before.
Just when Yang Tao was anxious to leave here, a cannon suddenly rushed out of the well-equipped iron-armored horses from the surrounding trails, with thousands of people, cutting the 50,000 troops led by Yang Tao into more than ten sections.
When Yang Tao was shocked, he was about to turn back to rescue him. A middle-aged man with disheveled hair and wearing luxurious Confucian uniforms, holding a long sword in his hand, staring at Yang Tao with red eyes and rushing over.
The middle-aged man in the Chinese uniform came straight to Yang Tao several meters away. At this time, three junior generals around Yang Tao stepped forward to resist and used various general skills to attack the middle-aged man.
With a "sharp" sound, the three junior generals had not yet arrived enough to attack the weapons in their hands. The middle-aged man's long sword came first and cut out an arc. The three junior generals were directly split off the armor of their bodies by the sword light. The blood was blown away and flew dozens of meters away. They landed on the ground. They didn't know whether the war horses were sitting on the three people were not spared. The middle-aged man just waved the sword in his hand, and three ordinary war horses were instantly killed and fell into a pool of blood.
"Pu" The middle-aged man was riding a horse, coldly crossing the corpse on the ground, stepping on the small puddle formed by blood, splashing blood arrows more than one meter high. The middle-aged man didn't care that the blood was splattering on his body, and his eyes were staring at Yang Tao since he appeared, and he never diverted his sight, which made Yang Tao feel a creepy feeling in his heart.
The middle-aged man was Geng Yuan, and the attack on Yang Tao's men were thousands of county soldiers led by Xu Huang.
Yang Tao saw the middle-aged man rushing towards him, and it was time to raise his halberd to fight back. Geng Yuan's face was filled with murderous intent, and a red light flashed across his eyes, shooting towards Yang Tao. Yang Tao only felt his eyes dazed and dizzy. His whole body paused, and he actually let Geng Yuan's long sword stab at him, but he did not make any moves as if he was turning a blind eye.
Just as Geng Yuan showed a hideous smile and was about to stab Yang Tao, Di Shangyu on Yang Tao's waist emitted a bright light. Yang Tao woke up instantly, but was startled by the sharp edge of the sword that was piercing in front of him. At this time, the tip of the sword was only one inch away from his throat, and Yang Tao could feel the sharp edge of the sword.
While his throat was filled with goose bumps, he thought about it and activated the sprinting general skill. In an instant, Yang Tao's attack speed increased significantly. Before the long sword hit his throat, he waved the halberd in his hand and hit the long sword.
"Sharp!" With a loud noise, two weapons wrapped in arcs collided together, making a clear sound. Yang Tao held the painting halberd tightly in his hands. He originally saw the middle-aged man in front of him wearing a literati costume, using a shorter weapon like a long sword. Even though he had knocked away three junior generals under his command with one sword, Yang Tao only thought that he only had the strength of a high-level general or a special-level general. Yang Tao thought that with the suppression of the Di Shangyu's immune level, he had a lot of confidence to defeat the people in front of him.
But as soon as the Huaji collided with the long sword, Yang Tao's face changed drastically. A series of sounds of "Crack Crack Crack Crack" sounded. On the Tianya Huaji, which was accompanied by the general skills of Yang Tao, the arc light shattered like a mirror, while the arc light of the long sword in Geng Yuan's hand was not even a crack.
After the long sword smashed the arc of the Huaji, Geng Yuan's angry face turned into a slash, and with a hatred, he slashed on the Huaji. "Dang!" A huge sound appeared, Yang Tao's tiger's mouth instantly cracked, and his arms stretched forward made waves of skeleton rubbing. Both arms were bent by an irresistible huge force from the Huaji, and hit his chest.
"Click Click Click Click Click Click Click Click Click" Yang Tao's sternum was broken in an instant, his face turned pale, his eyes were round, and he opened his mouth and sprayed a mouthful of blood mist, flying away from the war horse and flew more than ten meters away, landing on the ground.
Yang Tao lay on the ground and kept vomiting blood, but his face was extremely ugly. He didn't know who the person in front of him was. He was so strong and his combat power was even comparable to that of the 4-star second-rate historical general Ju Yi. Could it be another second-rate historical general? But he seemed to have never seen this person before, so why did he look desperately and be as fierce as if he had snatched his wife? Yang Tao was full of doubts, but he could not get an answer.
Chen Daniu, who was under Yang Tao around, saw Geng Yuan knocking Yang Tao away, was riding a horse to rush towards Yang Tao. He hurriedly launched a Queyue Slash and slashed towards Geng Yuan.
Seeing a sword light slashing towards him, Geng Yuan raised the long sword in his hand and waved it slightly. The sword light formed by the Duanyue Slashing General's skill dissipated in the air like fireworks, causing no damage to Geng Yuan.
However, after Chen Daniu attacked, the other generals also responded and rushed towards Geng Yuan.
Chongyue Hammer, Queyue Slash, Flying Wave Sword... Several generals issued a series of military skills, fought with Geng Yuan, and barely stopped Geng Yuan's progress.
Yang Tao took a breath, took out the healing pill and swallowed it, and forced himself to hold a war horse on his body and glanced at the situation on the battlefield at this time. Due to the sudden attack and ambush, Yang Tao's 50,000 troops were caught off guard. Now he can only rely on the advantage of numbers to remain undefeated. However, the enemy's generals are really powerful. Not to mention the middle-aged people in front of him, Yang Tao and others are in a mess. It is hard to say whether there will be other powerful generals among the thousands of enemy troops. Now all Yang Tao can think of is retreat, which is the best strategy.
He recruited several soldiers and asked the soldiers to order the surroundings to let all the troops retreat in dispersed manner.
The terrain here is unique and the roads are complicated. As long as you can temporarily escape from the enemy's pursuit, you will definitely be able to escape.
After Yang Tao gave the order, he forced himself to shake the reins and the seated war horse ran out.
Seeing that Yang Tao was about to escape, Geng Yuan looked ferocious and waved several sword lights in his fury. For a moment, Geng Yuan was surrounded by sword energy. Several generals who were besieging Geng Yuan were injured and repelled. Geng Yuan took advantage of this gap and shook the reins of the horse and chased Yang Tao away.
After dealing with the injuries, the generals under Yang Tao also chased behind Geng Yuan.
I don’t know how long it has passed. In this dark night, Yang Tao rode his white horse and ran northward. After walking, he had to stop because he was blocked by a river.
Yang Tao looked at the turbulent river with a turbulent flow of more than ten feet wide in front of him, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
