Chapter 674: Killing Shi Zhen
"Follow the direction they're running!"
he ordered.
First, the other party must know more about the fire than he does. Following the other party is probably the safest way out.
Second, after he got out, he wanted to round up and wipe out those arsonists to relieve his hatred.
But once the fire started, even the most elite troops were thrown into chaos.
Especially those that are far away from the central army.
They didn't receive the military order in the first place, and watched the fire coming towards them. They were not fools, so of course saving their lives was the most important thing.
So under the command of the centurions and thousand captains, they fled in all directions, trying to escape the forest as quickly as possible.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with their operation. If they were waiting for the order from the central army, they would have been burned to ashes long ago.
But as they fled, one person after another suddenly felt their feet slip and fell into a trap that had been set in advance.
Accompanied by screams, looking down, many soldiers had their feet pierced and had lost the ability to move.
If there were a few reliable brothers, they would rescue him together and drag him outside.
If no one rescues you, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.
Some tried to return along the main road, but the road had already been occupied by fire, making it impossible to return.
A huge fire destroyed the 140,000-strong Sirius Army.
By the time Zhang Qi and his men escaped from the fire, they were already exhausted and out of breath. As for the attackers, they had long since disappeared.
Looking around, the soldiers were exhausted and collapsed on the ground. They were trying their best to escape from the sea of fire as quickly as possible.
When Zhang Qi saw this situation, he knew he could not catch up.
But it doesn’t matter. The other party is within the territory of Tianlang Country, and it’s not easy to escape.
"Count the heads!"
he shouted.
Fortunately, during the escape, the soldiers were probably traveling in groups of five or ten, so it was very convenient to count them.
"There are more than 74,300 people in total."
It only took a quarter of an hour for several horse-riding guards to complete the head count.
Most of those who got separated fled in all directions. I think the death toll should not be too high, and it is within an acceptable range.
What was most difficult for him to accept was that this battle was so frustrating!
The other side set a fire and beat them into such a miserable state.
Before he could say anything more, he saw an army suddenly coming towards him.
Because of the fire just now, all the scouts had been recalled, so they did not receive any information in advance.
Now most of the soldiers are either sitting or lying on the ground. They have no fighting power at all, let alone forming a formation.
"Organize defense!"
Without Zhang Qi saying anything, several generals shouted.
These Sirius soldiers have fought in countless battles, so they naturally know what is important and what is not.
No matter how tired he was, he would still get up from the ground tremblingly.
But that’s all there is to it, it’s impossible to form a formation in a short period of time.
Duanmu Liangjiang still wore the bronze mask and rushed in first. Facing these soldiers with little physical strength, he shot them one by one and soon faced Bai Ce.
The tips of their guns collided from time to time, creating sparks. Duanmu Liangjiang seized an opportunity and stabbed Bai Ce in the face.
Bai Ce dodged hurriedly and barely avoided it. He pulled out one hand to grab the gun body and used the other hand to control the spear. He couldn't stab at this distance, so he could only pull.
Duanmu Liangjiang took a hard hit and instead of advancing, he retreated, pulled out a knife from his waist and stabbed at Bai Ce.
Bai Ce grabbed the blade with one hand, blood was flowing out, but he did not dare to let go.
After a few rounds of fighting, blood was drawn.
Bai Ce was more and more surprised that the general in front of him, who was about the same age as himself, actually had such martial arts skills.
He had never heard of it before.
The confrontation between Lei Pokong and Jian Sheng looks plain and simple.
The two swords collided, making a sound that made people's teeth ache. But the agility of both sides was not high, and it was almost a competition of strength.
Lin Xiaofan faced Shi Zhen.
Shi Zhen held a big knife in both hands, and in order to make his wounds heal better, he was not wearing any armor.
But when he got there, his momentum was not inferior to any general.
Lin Xiaofan didn't give him much time to confront him, and rushed forward first. He thrust forward with his horse spear, and Shi Zhen blocked it.
Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Xiaofan changed the angle of his lance and used the sharp edge to stab Shi Zhen.
Perhaps because of the injury, or perhaps because he was slow to react to the unknown weapon, Shi Zhen's arm was cut.
Although the wound was not deep, blood was still flowing out.
Lin Xiaofan was delighted, but it was a pity that there was no poison on it, otherwise this blow would be enough to take Shi Zhen's life.
At the same time, several hidden weapons were thrown out from his sleeves. However, because the horse lance was clumsy to use, the speed of his hidden weapons was also a bit slow, and they were blocked by Shi Zhen.
But it doesn’t matter, he has gained the advantage now.
After five moves, Shi Zhen had another wound on his body. This time it was bigger than the last one, and a lot of blood splattered.
After fifteen moves, Lin Xiaofan found the right moment and almost took Shi Zhen's life, but unfortunately a few soldiers showed up.
Seeing this, several soldiers rushed to clean up the surroundings.
The third move was that Lin Xiaofan used all his internal strength to combine the horse lance and the improved version of the powerful sword technique to launch an attack.
Shi Zhen couldn't resist this move.
The weapon slashed his stomach and large amounts of blood flowed out.
Shi Zhen completely lost his ability to fight, and with one hand covering his stomach, he could only wait to die.
He was unwilling.
A few days ago, he single-handedly challenged three of the ten great ministers of the Tang Dynasty. Although he only lasted a few dozen moves, his reputation was destroyed.
But now, he was defeated by the person in front of him.
The opponent's martial arts skills were very high, but he was not as good as him. His strength and internal energy were not bad either, but they were far behind him.
If it were during his prime, if Lin Xiaofan had a normal weapon, if he was wearing armor, he would definitely not be his opponent.
Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs in this world.
After dealing with the enemy in front of him, Lin Xiaofan swept his eyes across the battlefield.
Bai Ce and Duanmu Liangjiang fought fiercely, and both of them were covered in blood. It was estimated that the winner would be decided soon.
Jian Sheng and Lei Pokong's swordsmen dealt critical blows, and it would be impossible to determine the winner before both of them were exhausted.
Xu Wu was fighting against Yin Qian, but the fight was very frustrating.
His martial arts skills were better than Yin Qian's, and he fought very fiercely, but every time at the critical moment, he would be resolved by the surrounding soldiers or Yin Qian's endless means.
After so many moves, there was still no winner.
At this time, helping Duanmu Liangjiang is undoubtedly the most correct choice.
The nerves of the two men fighting were extremely tense. If he suddenly rushed over, he would take Bai Ce's life if he had the chance.
Even if he was stopped by the soldiers around him, it would affect Bai Ce's mentality. At this time, every factor could affect the balance of the war.
