Heavenly Dao Formula

Chapter 179: Beacon Fire Begins on the Frontier

"This is... what's going on?" Yin Guerzhe stared blankly at the opponent's strict formation for a while, and then yelled, "What the hell is going on! Where is General Zuo's army? Didn't he send a signal! ?”

"Let's go back the same way." Ba Xingtian made a judgment in an instant, "Pass my order, the rear army will change to the front army, and I will cut off the rear—"

"Report!" Before he finished speaking, a captain hurriedly interrupted him, "My lord, a large number of high country troops have appeared on the valley road, and they are still setting up horses and roadblocks!"

"So the baggage brought by the other party is not for building the camp, but to intercept us?" Yin Guerzilla opened his mouth blankly, "They already knew that we would turn over from Pozigou?"

"Be sober!" Ba Xingtian roared, drawing everyone's flustered attention to himself, "The enemy number is only 20,000, and they are encircled by all directions, so there must be weaknesses! If you are trapped at the crossing, you will die, and you will break through with all your might!" , there is still a glimmer of life!"

"But... where are we going to break through?"

"To the east is the road to Qiguo. They can't let us go easily. To the north is a vast swamp. I guess the other party will not stick to this road. And there is Baixi Lake in front of it. If there is good water quality, it will be a big deal later. Jumping into the lake and escaping by yourself, I will not pursue it!" Ba Xingtian took a deep breath and said loudly, "Listen up, everyone, this battle is likely to be your last battle. But no matter what, we have to break through this line of defense , not for anything else, just to bring this news back to Leizhou Mansion!"

"If we are all buried here, this is a meaningless defeat, and the world will only blame me for being incompetent!"

"But if someone can go back alive, what the thief Zuo An has done will not be covered up! Think about it, when others poke our spines and scold us, the murderer behind the scenes lives in the world with peace of mind. Can you bear this tone? "

"My lord, I can't bear it..."

"Absolutely can't bear it!"

"My lord, we have to fight back!"

The soldiers shouted one after another, and soon became a wave.

"That's right, traitors deserve a terrible death! And we can only have a chance of revenge if we rush out! Everyone obeys my order, head north, and then return to Leizhou! Even if we climb, we must climb out of this dead land!"

"Go back to Leizhou!"

"Go back to Leizhou!"

Ba Xingtian waved his hand, "Blow the charge!"

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

With the sound of the horn, this army of 2,000 people plunged into Gao Guo's invisible army formation.

The lakeside boiled.

...

When night fell, the sound of fighting finally faded away.

Ba Xingtian didn't know how many people's heads he had smashed, and some of them were alchemists. Fudo Myojin shattered and shattered under the uninterrupted blows until he had no energy left to perform new genjutsu.

In the beginning, there were adjutants and personal soldiers by his side, but gradually, they were cut down and stabbed to death one by one, until there was no one around him.

It is not known how many soldiers escaped from the desperate situation.

I hope Baixi Lake can hide their whereabouts.

Ba Xingtian dragged his almost numb body out for several miles, and when he confirmed that there were no enemies following him, he found a big tree and sat down slowly.

One arm was cut off, and there were nearly a hundred inch-long wounds all over his body, and the blood that flowed out almost overflowed his shirt.

Although Genshu is unparalleled in power and is very suitable for a battlefield where blood and flesh are flying, it is not to the point of being invincible. It is a miracle in itself to be able to stand out from the encirclement under the encirclement and suppression of troops several times that of one's own side.

However, if he wants to cross the swamp and return to Leizhou Mansion from the north with this remnant body, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult.

Suddenly, a fine trampling sound came from the darkness.

I saw a man wearing a burqa and a hood slowly walking out of the shadow of the bushes, and stopped in front of Ba Xingtian.

Ba Xing Tianxia consciously wanted to take the sword, but when he stretched out his hand, he realized that his weapon had been abandoned during the breakout process.

The other party sized him up for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Ba Xingtian...General?"

"Exactly." He spat out blood, "Who are you?"

The visitor lifted his hood, revealing his face, "Suzhou Fei's family, Fei Nian."

Ba Xingtian was silent for a long time before he snorted, "I guess you didn't come to save me."

"That's right." Fei Nian nodded, "My task is to ensure that you die in the borderlands."

"Honorful words? Heh... there's no need to be so hypocritical." He let out a long breath, "It turns out that all of this is planned by the Privy Council... I thought that the aristocratic family hated the Privy Council from the bottom of their hearts, but I didn't expect that you would also have trouble in it. When we are together."

"No, the family really hates the Privy Council, and what I have done has nothing to do with the Fei family. As for you..." Fei Nian paused, "You are the guardian of the Privy Council and should be respected. It's a pity that your existence has hindered On our way forward, your persistence can't keep up with the evolution of the times, so there is such a disgraceful scene."

"If I still have the strength, I will definitely tear your mouth in half!" Ba Xingtian spat in disdain, his overly intense emotion made him cough violently, and he finally calmed down before he gasped and said ,"What are you waiting for?"

"Do you have anything you want me to tell you or something that you have unfulfilled wishes?" Fei Nian pulled out the long sword at his waist, "As long as it is within my power..."

Hearing this, a figure suddenly appeared in Ba Xingtian's mind.

He almost tried his best to press the name back to the bottom of his heart.

Finally he sneered, "General Zuo will not be safe and sound?"

"Of course he will soon follow your path."

"In that case, I have nothing to say."

Fei Nian nodded, "Everything will end quickly, I promise." When he finished speaking, a faint blue flame suddenly appeared on the blade of his sword—then he raised the sword and swung it down.

With a flash of sword light, Ba Xingtian's hot blood wet the roots of the tree.

...

It should be over there, right?

Zuo'an looked at the border of Qi State on the map with anxiety - he knew that the trap he had set up must not be leaked out, so the last line of defense preventing Ba Xingtian from returning to Leizhou Mansion was most of the troops he led.

A night of waiting made him sleepless all night, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until dawn broke in the sky.

Sure enough, no matter how brave Ba Xingtian is, it is impossible to break through the blockade ten times his own with 2,000 people. No one came from the west for a whole day, which only shows that this army was completely wiped out. River and lake area.

"Clean up the barracks and let the ministries prepare to go home." Zuo'an ordered.

"yes!"

Then he rolled up the map and looked at Eunuch Liu beside him, "Is that all right?"

"You've done a good job, General. Your Highness will reward you." Eunuch clasped his hands.

Zuo An walked out of the big tent after returning the ceremony.

Without Ba Xingtian, he is undoubtedly the only one who has the final say on the Leizhou frontier army. This is both a great temptation and a daunting responsibility. To be honest, without the instruction of His Highness the Crown Prince, he didn't want to send his colleagues to a dead end. After all, with Fudo Myokami in charge, the pressure on Leizhou Mansion would be much lighter.

But he also secretly heard that His Majesty's physical condition is not optimistic, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may be on the Great Treasure at any time. He didn't want to give the other party an impression of ignorance at this time.

The lesser of two evils.

What's more, His Royal Highness also has his own considerations.

"General, the sentry found a cavalry approaching us from the west!" Suddenly, a soldier stepped forward and reported.

"What, cavalry?" Zuo'an was startled at first, and then flew into a rage, "Where did the high-country frontier army get the cavalry? Who is the reporter? Are you blind!"

As for the Ba Xingtian troops that he is most worried about, it is even more impossible.

But the soldiers showed hesitation, "The opponent's attire does not seem to be the troops of the Gao Kingdom."

The more he said the more absurd, Zuoan pushed the opponent away, rushed directly to the nearest bamboo and wooden sentry tower in the camp, and looked westward with his forehead.

He saw smoke and dust billowing on the horizon, and countless black shadows swooped down from the hillside, entering his field of vision. Regardless of the momentum or the speed of movement, it is indeed not something that soldiers can do with their legs.

When the other party got close, Zuo An couldn't believe his eyes.

Almost all the opposing cavalry were wearing black armor, with longbows and quiveres hanging from their backs, and a crescent-shaped scimitar on the head of a long spear in their hands. This equipment was undoubtedly Xu Guo's elite cavalry. If he remembered correctly, the unique cavalry was made by the public loser, and it was called the half-moon sickle.

The problem is that Xu Guo and Qi Guo are not connected, how did they appear here?

What about Gao Guo, what are the Gao Guo border troops doing?

When these armored black knights leveled their sickles and began to charge in groups, Zuo'an slowly turned his head, looked down at his subordinates who were waiting for orders, and swallowed.

"...Leizhou is in danger."
