The Book of Troubled Times

Huangfu Yongxian's loud shout did not scare the vultures hunting their teeth, but it did scare Timur.

Just Batu's sneak attack, Timur didn't care at all; coupled with the flanking attack of Wu Weiyang's ten thousand elite cavalry, it actually didn't matter too much.

Because there are too many people behind Timur... If two tribes push forward, they can at least hold back Wu Weiyang's people.

But if the former army happens to collapse at this moment, Timur will start sweating profusely.

Even Chili knew that vultures might not be willing to die when hunting for their teeth, so why didn’t Timur know? No matter which angle you look at it, other people’s tribes don’t have the loyalty to bury you. The worse the situation becomes, the more he can only trust his own Golden Wolf Army.

On the left and right sides of the rear army, Hu cavalry came out to meet Batu and Wu Weiyang respectively; at the same time, the Chinese army made a big move, and Timur's Golden Wolf Army finally pressed forward across the entire line.

Vulture Xingya was thinking about retreating when the shouts of killing started loudly behind him, and the overwhelming golden wolf army surged in.

Vulture Xingya had no choice but to suppress his intention to retreat, and his heart was spinning even more vigorously.

In this situation... most of the Golden Wolf Army really abandoned their horses and came to fight the Han Army's formation. This kind of thing could not have happened before.

Timur needs to maintain his absolute intimidation rule over the tribes. If he really wants to cripple the Golden Wolf Army, even if he wins a big victory, it will be very troublesome - for example, if his Vulture Hunter Tooth casually joins forces with Bo E in secret, he may replace him. , the sincere cooperation between Bo'er and Timur is limited to this battle.

Temur could only drive other tribes to suffer bloody losses, and his own Golden Wolf Army was only used as a final anchor. However, in order to stabilize his vulture hunting teeth, Timur, who was stretched at this moment, actually used the Golden Wolf Army regardless of losses. Fight at the front...

Military is nothing more than a continuation of politics. Nowadays, the grassland tribes' ability to fight hard is really not as good as that of the big men huddled together, even if they have the upper hand in terms of military strength.

This is also a factor in Zhao Changhe's eagerness for the Northern Expedition. He will not allow the Immortal God to completely revive and crush the entire grassland into one. Vulture Xingya was thinking in his mind. Before he could make a new judgment, the Golden Wolf Army had already merged with his tribe and formed a mass with Huangfu Yongxian's army.

People continued to fall on both sides, and the soldiers in the rear quickly took up their positions. Arrows rained down from above, and the sand below quickly turned into a vast expanse like cinnabar.

New vultures circled in the sky, watching the ant-like killing below, waiting for the night when the sound of killing disappeared.

"Eh... what's going on?" Vulture Xingya's heart suddenly moved.

The Batu tribe was destroyed at the beginning, not to mention suffering heavy casualties. They hid in the Gobi desert throughout the winter, lacking food and clothing. Even if support is obtained, it is unlikely to be large due to the limited transportation capacity. So far, they are still wearing half-clothed clothes. Some people's leather armor is only half-stretched, and the horses they are riding are so thin that the bones are visible. They are a typical "group of beggars" . Even if this kind of tribe came out in full force, there would be a lot of people to see, and their fighting power was also conceivable. I thought they would be easily taken advantage of.

However, at this moment, even the well-equipped Wuweiyang tribe who came from the east were in a hard fight. The Batu tribe in the west was digging through all the way. The tribes that Timur had arranged to make dumplings almost collapsed at first touch, and were easily defeated by Batu. Interspersed harvesting resulted in heavy casualties, unable to protect even a single trace.

How is this going? This tribe of beggars is actually more elite than Wu Weiyang's army?

Timur's roar came from the sky: "Ying Wu, you, a great hero of your generation, are hiding in the Batu army and pretending to be a partial general, and you still have no shame!"

Vulture hunting teeth: "..."

Ying Wuwen's calm voice spread across the battlefield: "There is no way... The Great Khan broke the Yu, the Shaman broke the Yu, the King of Zhao broke the Yu, Li Shen Tong broke the Yu, even Ying X's niece broke the Yu... But Ying X I don't know why I'm stuck at that hurdle, and I can't find a way to break through. In the world of gods and demons, the triple secret treasure is just a pawn. The Vulture Hunting Tooth and other powerful people are the precursors of the Great Khan, and Ying Mou is Monan. Wang Quchi, isn’t it normal?”

Vulture Hunting Tooth twitched the corners of his mouth.

He is a third-level secret treasure, but he is only in the early stages of breaking through, and there is still Huangfu Yongxian in front of him. Even if you, Ying Wu, have not broken the imperial realm, you are still half-stepped. The tribesmen who used to bully Batu's "beggar army" are facing a Ying Wu who is half-stepped in the imperial realm, so why not give it a try?

You are only half a step into the imperial realm, bullying ordinary tribesmen! This horse bandit is more shameless than both Hu and Han. Real etiquette is ruined and there are no rules at all.

"Boom!" A golden spear shadow fell from the sky and rushed straight towards Batu's soldiers and horses.

Ying Wu cried out and reached out to shoot the spear shadow away from the sky. The figure did not stop and went to Jiutian again: "Since the Great Khan invites the battle, Ying Ming will sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman."

It became more and more shameless... Timur might have been a little better than Sanniang, but he was greatly distracted by the messy battle situation. He had to command and dry the earth at the same time, so he could only be suppressed and beaten by Sanniang. If it weren't for being strong enough, I would have fallen into trouble a long time ago. At this time, Ying Wu appeared and attacked Sanniang. You have the nerve to say that this is called "sacrifice your life to accompany the gentleman". Isn't it to take advantage of your illness to kill yourself?

Yes, is Yuan Sanniang also a member of your thieves brotherhood... Are all your brotherhoods like this?

What's even more disgusting is that the rear military formation has been messed up by him. What's the use of seemingly politely not participating in the war at this time? At this time, even if the Batu tribe is a group of pigs, it is impossible for them to make dumplings again. They are all warriors who have been on horses all their lives. Who doesn't know who is who? Once the opponent is in chaos, this beggar army is enough to turn the entire battle into chaos.

Vulture Xingya frowned and retreated behind the Golden Wolf Army without leaving a trace.

"Boom!" There was an earth-shattering explosion in the sky, and it was unknown what kind of ultimate move Ying Wu had encountered, and Timur was roaring crazily.

The terrifying energy spread in all directions, strong winds swept across, and the sky and clouds dispersed.

Some people who still have the energy to look at the sky can see Ying Wu and the two Sanniang retreating in three directions, with the figure of Timur in the center like a god of war.

Timur no longer has the intention to take care of the battle situation, and has completely opened up... If the vulture hunter saw such a figure in the past, he would probably surrender, but it doesn't make much sense at this moment.

"Let's go." Vulture Lieya whispered to the tribe's cronies around him: "The Han army is mostly infantry. Even if they win, it is impossible to fight a battle of annihilation. At most, they can only rely on the Batu and Wuweiyang tribes to have 10,000 or 20,000 people to pursue each other. side. In this way, there will definitely be strong tribes who will leave their strength and rise in Mobei in the future to replace Timur's position... In this case, whoever is prepared is the one. Batu can be the king of Monan even with his little strength, we Why can’t I be the King of Mobei?”

The confidant knew what he was thinking, and responded in a low voice: "But Khan, this battle is still stalemate, and there is no winner yet. If you lose and run away, it is better to say that Changshengtian may not punish you, but if you evacuate now, Changshengtian Let’s blame it…”

"The momentum has been seen... With these successive blows, the Han army's fighting spirit has become stronger, our fighting spirit has become weaker, and the balance has tilted." The vulture hunter grinded his teeth and whispered: "The most difficult bloody battle Let us take the lead first. Timur's intentions are clear. He is also worried about me and knows that I am the one most likely to challenge him. He is deliberately trying to weaken our strength. Now that our tribal brothers have suffered so many casualties, they deserve to live forever. Oh my God, is it possible that our tribe is really going to be here to shed the last drop of blood? Why? Because of Timur’s big face?"

The cronies stopped talking, ambition began to burn in their eyes.

In all parts of the grassland, the weak and the strong prey on each other. Apart from being bound by the belief in the Immortal God, there is no mercy at all. Back then, Batu's Fighting Lion Division could rise, so why can't their Vulture Division now? Everyone is a big tribe, and the War Lion Tribe has lost its leader on the Earth Ranking. A mere weakling, Batu, can become the king. But their Vulture Tribe still has the previous king and today’s triple secret treasure!

Is Changshengtian going to punish you? Batu is still alive, right? If the Golden Horde is really completely defeated, Changshengtian will also have to support new tribes in the future. How can he be punished? Are we really going to be forced to fight to the last person? Why!

Besides, I don’t know what’s going on with Zhao Changhe and Huangfuqing’s side... I’ll wait until Changshengtian takes care of himself!

The entire Vulture Tribe whispered to each other, and gradually retreated calmly. Soon, among the enemies that faced Huangfu Yongxian head-on, there was no trace of the Vulture Tribe, they were all the Golden Wolf Army themselves.

However, this kind of retreat of tens of thousands of people, no matter how "calm" it is, can actually clearly reflect the turmoil in the situation. The former army is in chaos!

How could the slick Huangfu Yongxian not see it?

"The Vulture Division has been defeated! The whole army attacks!" The voice was not only transmitted to one's own side, but also to the enemy.

"The Vultures have been defeated!"

"The front army collapsed!"

Feeling the feeling of a wave pushing back from the front, a typical sign of a rout and retreat, the unaware Golden Wolf Army behind them began to confuse themselves. The vultures that squeezed in turned the Golden Wolf Army into a mess.

"Whoosh!" Huangfu Yongxian stabbed down a Golden Wolf Army general with a spear, raised his spear and shouted: "Come on!"

The Han army pressed forward like a tidal wave, like knocking down dominoes. The Golden Wolf Army began to scatter from the front and stretched to the center.

This time it was the real "front army collapse"!

Batu led the crowd to charge left and right. Seeing the turbulent situation ahead, he also raised his sword and shouted: "The Golden Wolf Army is defeated, brothers, charge for me!"

"Choke!" Wu Weiyang deflected the scimitar of a tribal leader and shouted equally: "The Golden Wolf Army has been defeated, and you are still stubbornly resisting!"

The retreat of the vultures affected the whole body, and the entire battle began to collapse.

Batu Wuweiyang thrust two sharp knives straight into the rear, and Huangfu Yongxian pushed forward violently. The seemingly chaotic cavalry all over the mountains and plains became a mess, and countless tribes began to find their own way out, riding their horses to seize the road and flee. Among them, the Vultures, who were the first to be prepared, all mounted their horses and charged towards the rear, causing chaos in the rear. Those who didn't know better thought they were the front of the Han army...

The collapse only takes place in an instant!

Under the pressure of Ying Wu and Sanniang, Timur just didn't pay attention to the battle situation for a moment. He couldn't even tell whether Vulture Hunting Tooth was really defeated and retreated or it was intentional. The military formation below had completely collapsed, leaving only one side. The massacre and chase.

The wolf flag was broken, the sea of ​​blood was like a mountain of corpses, and the screams were heard all over the place, reaching to the sky.

The blue sky is long, and the eternal sky has no favor.

"Reserve your strength! Retreat the whole army!" Timur let out his final roar decisively, no longer bothering to care about other tribes, just trying to preserve the strength of his own Golden Wolf Army.

It's a pity that no matter Batu, Wu Weiyang, or Huangfu Yongxian, who is pressing forward, everyone's primary target is the Golden Wolf Army.

"Whoosh!" Sanniang's snake whip rolled up, blocking Timur's downward sprint, with a smile: "Don't be impatient, Khan, you still haven't decided whether I will win or lose..."

Timur was so furious that he swept his war spear at Sanniang like crazy: "Get out!"

Just like drawing a spear to cut off the water, this blow was like hitting the sea water, without even the slightest effect, and the heavy punch behind him came again.

Temur felt a little exhausted both physically and mentally. If there was an opponent that a warrior least wanted to face, it would be someone like Xuanwu. Her aggressiveness might be average, but when it came to entangling people, she could entangle them to the core. No temper at all.

"Boom!" Timur responded with a heavy punch. Just as he was about to collide with Sanniang's Fist as usual, he suddenly found that his hand fell into some strange space passage and was pulled away.

"The Great Khan is impatient... For a warrior who has experienced many battles, this is not what he should be."

Win five! Space-related power!

With just such a slight deviation, his fist failed to meet Sanniang's punch, and the power of his fist was completely empty. Sanniang's fist had already hit his ribs viciously!

Temur burst into anger and tried to deflect Sanniang's punch. At the same time, he twisted his body and tried to get out of the way.

However, this twist was restricted by something, as if it was stuck in a quagmire, and the movement was slow for half a beat.

"Bang!" The Xuanwu Fist was heavily imprinted on Temur's ribs. Temur spat out a mouthful of blood, swung his spear and swept Ying Wu away, staggered back, and went north in the blink of an eye.

Blood flowed from the corners of Sanniang and Ying Wu's mouths. Timur's cultivation had finally surpassed theirs, and the backlash was not easy to bear. But neither of them said a word. Sanniang merged into one body and chased after Ying Wu silently.

He did not ask to kill Timur, but only asked for one thing: do not let him have the opportunity to gather the army, and do not let him participate in the ground battle.

Because the war situation on Zhao Changhe's side relies on the transfer of human destiny and the collapse of the power of faith.

That is everyone's real purpose. From beginning to end, the strategy has always been clear.

…………

"Ding ding ding!" Among the Han troops pressing forward from all fronts, one formation did not move.

That was the left wing of the rear army where Chi Li was charging.

Cui Yuanyong's bragging did not come true. I thought that if Chi abandoned his own strengths to attack difficulties, it would be ineffective. Facts have proved that when a person has the courage to die, the power he unleashes is far beyond normal.

He really pushed Cui Yuanyong back all the way, tearing a hole in the military formation, and then the three thousand Qingqi around him took advantage of the gap and rushed in, having penetrated a small distance.

If he was given a certain amount of time, he might actually be able to penetrate it.

It's a pity that the bloody battle here didn't have time to take effect before the front collapsed.

If this side is penetrated first, the Han army may be in chaos first, and the vultures may not retreat. If the vultures do not retreat, the entire battle will not be corrupted, and there will be enough foundation to slowly clean up the situation.

But it's slow here... just a little bit slower after all.

The retreat of Vulture Hunter Fang left Chili completely alone and plunged into death.

"Let's go, young master!" The deputy general beside him said to Chili hurriedly: "Cui Yuanyong's troops and horses can't stop us, we can still turn around and fight out! There is a saying among the Han people that if you keep the green mountains, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. .”

Chili's scimitar and Cui Yuanyong's long sword clashed again. Cui Yuanyong was forced to retreat a little before he reined in his horse and was about to turn around.

But after reining in the horse, there was no further driving.

Outside the gap in the military formation that he tore apart, a group of shirtless men stood silently, with Situ Xiao as their leader.

Both armies made no move. Cui Yuanyong stood behind him, Situ Xiao stood in front of him, and Chi Li sat on the horse and turned around to look around. Nearly half of the three thousand elites he had brought with him had already been destroyed, and everyone was covered in blood. , the wind and sand on his face were mixed with blood and sweat, and he couldn't recognize anyone's face for a long time.

But you can see the incredible sadness in everyone's eyes.

At this point in the struggle, I thought I had a chance to disrupt the other party...but in the end, I was just like a clown.

"Do you think we look like clowns on the stage?" Chi Li suddenly asked.

"No." Situ Xiao put away his careless expression and cupped his fists in a salute: "Our Qianlong ranked first on the same list. We used to be unconvinced and didn't want to admit it... Now it seems that I do."

Chi Li smiled slightly and turned to Cui Yuanyong behind him: "According to what you told me a few days ago, excluding those couple of lunatics, who will win and who loses in a fight between us mortals?"

Cui Yuanyong sighed: "I lost. I didn't stop you just now. If I give you more time, I'm afraid I will kill myself to apologize."

Chi Li nodded: "Then if I kill myself now, can you let them live?"

Cui Yuanyong was silent for a long time and said in a low voice: "No. You are all heroes, but the more heroic you are, the more you are a hater. Once you let the tiger go, there will be endless troubles."

Chili looked up at the sky, as if expecting some kind of response from Changshengtian, but in the end there was no response, and Changshengtian lost his favor.

He whispered, as if to himself: "You surrender... Cui Yuanyong said, if you surrender, the Han army, which claims to be a civilized army, will not kill you if you surrender."

Cui Yuanyong couldn't help but said: "You can do it too."

"I know I can." Chi Li smiled and said, "You surrounded me but didn't kill me. You just feel sorry for the heroes. You want to persuade them to surrender. But you don't dare."

Cui Yuanyong and Situ smiled and said nothing. Of course they cherished the hero a little, but they were also a little entangled. Do you dare to trust someone like Chi Li if he surrenders? Who dares to make this guarantee? How will he be held responsible if something goes wrong?

"Forget it." Chi Li smiled and said: "It's hard to chase Zhao Yue if you pursue martial arts; God's faith can't care about anything. I don't know what the meaning of being stubborn is... If my existence can prove anything, it is It proves that there are more than just Batu and vultures hunting for teeth on the grassland.”

He paused and said to Cui Yuanyong in a relaxed tone: "In the next three years, I will not be able to see the souls of vultures hunting for judgment in the Eternal Life Heaven. Don't blame me for looking down on you in the Eternal Life Heaven."

After saying that, he slashed his neck with a sharp stroke, as if he didn't want to hear the response "Your immortality is about to disappear."

But Cui Yuanyong's response was: "It won't take three years."

Chi Li smiled, blood spurted from his throat, and his body suddenly fell from the horse.

The two armies looked at Chi Li's self-inflicted body in silence. The spring breeze blew by, bringing sand all over the ground.

This is the brightest star of the young generation in the grassland. The young generation in Middle-earth once had no one to stop it except Yue Hongling. His end seems to symbolize the inevitable decline of Changshengtian.

The shouts of killing were still noisy in the distance, and the brutal massacre and chase spread from the north of the Gobi to the royal court in the Mobei grassland.
