Chapter 6729 Pursuit

Chapter 6729 Pursuit
Because of the heavy rain, the talents of reconnaissance nature are still affected to a certain extent. Although the reconnaissance abilities used by the brothers under Yan Xing are relatively special, such as momentum locking and will detection, they are still somewhat affected in this heavy rain.

For example, Han Chong had told Li Jiong before that the overwhelming momentum and large scale of the enemy might mean that the entire army had been mobilized.

This judgment was correct, but Li Jiong judged based on experience that they were not worthy of Ardashir's entire army to encircle and suppress them, so he did not take this to heart. That was why he had the idea of ​​recruiting 300 elite backbone troops who could barely deal with Ardashir's Holy Death Knights, in order to block Ardashir and buy time for others to escape.

As a result, Yan Xing now told Li Jiong that Ardashir really had sent his entire army to attack, and Li Jiong's face turned green. What the hell, if Ardashir had sent out his entire army, then Cao Cao would have to send out his entire army to fight head-on. The number of people they had was not even enough to fight!
To put it even more exaggeratedly, what went wrong with this small number of people that warranted Ardashir's entire army to encircle and suppress them?
"Are you sure you're not seeing things?" Li Jiong was shocked and asked immediately.

"That should be right. I have just remotely projected part of my consciousness into the body of the shadow soldier marching in front, and the distance between the two sides has been shortened to a certain extent. Although it is not very clear yet, it is most likely the entire army of Ardashir, rather than Ardashir leading a branch to hunt for food." Yan Xing said with a serious expression, and Li Jiong's face was calm when he heard it.

"We are bait, right?" Li Jiong said seriously.

"If only Ardashir led a small group of troops to hunt for food, it might be an accident. But if the entire army came, it is definitely not an accident. We are bait." Yan Xing said calmly without any anger. This is how war is. There will always be people to serve as bait.

"The next step depends on Lao Cao's conscience?" Li Jiong raised his eyebrows and said to Yan Xing, "In this case, these 300 elite shield guards should retreat to the front line first and strengthen the army's organization. The elite backbone led by Ardashir alone and the entire Ardashir Legion are two different things."

"No need. They have already been withdrawn. There is no need to withdraw them. Even without these backbones, my legion can still maintain the overall command." Yan Xing shook his head and said. It would not be a problem for each of the eight flag bearers under his command to command 500 people. Therefore, Yan Xing was not worried at all that the withdrawal of backbones would have any impact on the organizational strength of the legion.

"But what you said about Cao Sikong's conscience scares me. Why don't you change the word?" Yan Xing turned his head and said to Li Jiong. Li Jiong was silent for a while. Everyone knew that Cao Cao was not a human being, so he was worse in some things.

Things like bait are inevitable in war. When Yu Jin broke into the Pataraja camp, he was able to quickly win the battle and kill Brah directly, also relying on the bait tactic. However, compared to being a bait for Liu Bei, being a bait for Cao Cao was more or less untrustworthy to everyone, and they couldn't help but wonder whether Cao would do his best to rescue them at that time.

"Then I'd better stop talking. Let me tell you that I have a special trick that can allow the entire legion to hold on for one more minute. After I use it, I can be carried away. Just tell me when you think you can use it." When Li Jiong heard what Yan Xing said, he also felt that it was a bit outrageous to entrust his life and death to Cao Cao's conscience. As expected, to survive, he had to rely on himself, so he directly handed over the finishing move.

"What ability? The finishing move from talent sublimation? What kind of ability is sublimated from talent to produce anti-military capability?" Yan Xing asked in some surprise.

"Yueqi represents the sublimated ability of the idealistic side." Li Jiong scratched his head and said, "First of all, I have only used this ability once. I have never used it against the army, but I estimate that I can only last for a minute at most."

"Is this the ability sublimated from the idealistic side of the Yue cavalry?" Yan Xing split his mind to observe from a distance, commanded the army to retreat to a favorable terrain, and thought about what Li Jiong said.

"Isn't that something that Grandpa Huangfu used to trick everyone?" Yan Xing thought about it and finally remembered what it was. The Yueqi's finishing move has two directions. One is the vacuum gun that develops towards the Yuyang Cavalry, which is the development of strength. The other is the development of the heart that is said to exist but no one has ever practiced it. It only exists in Huangfu Song's mouth, that is, Lugo Huiri. So the question is, can this thing be practiced?

"I don't know. Anyway, I have mastered it. It took me more than 20 years to master it. Anyway, I have mastered it." Li Jiong said expressionlessly, "Remember to have someone carry it away after using it. Also, choose the right time. The effect of this thing is similar to what General Huangfu said back then. You should have seen the description of this in history books. I can use it for one minute."

"It can be twisted directly, right?" Yan Xing looked at Li Jiong and asked seriously.

"Don't be really dead, it should be okay." Li Jiong said with a somewhat speculative tone. He didn't know the real situation, and he had never used his anti-military ability.

"Then I will ignore this and use it normally." Yan Xing nodded to Li Jiong, and then called to Han Chong who was beside Li Jiong, "When Li Jiong uses Lu Ge to return to Japan, you will carry Li Jiong away directly. No matter what, you must ensure that he is okay."

Han Chong and others nodded when they heard this. As brothers who came from the Three Rivers and Five Schools, anyone with a little bit of brains knew how incredible Li Jiong's finishing move was. To put it an exaggeration, this finishing move was not something that humans should master at all. It was a real supernatural power.

"Brother Li, have you really completed this step?" Han Chong asked while guarding Li Jiong.

"The reason I can turn 25 is not only because of the bondage of the oath, but also because of Lugo's return to Japan." Li Jiong nodded and said, "I worked hard for more than 20 years. When I completed the bondage of the oath, I suddenly realized what this thing is, and then I mastered it."

"How come you got all the good stuff?" Han Chong said with a sigh. Li Jiong laughed loudly and said seriously, "Be careful, don't die."

"What is there to be afraid of? I'm already fifty-seven. It won't be a loss if I die now." Han Chong said nonchalantly. In this era twenty years ago when the average life expectancy was less than thirty years old, Han Chong felt that it was already a great success to live to fifty-seven, especially the last twenty years. Han Chong was very satisfied.

"The days ahead will be better. I believe in the Grand Marshal and the Shangshu Pushe." Li Jiong spoke slowly, some of it sounding like an admonition, and some like a hint.

While Yan Xing was commanding his troops to retreat quickly towards the mountainous terrain, Ardashir led all his main forces and attacked Yan Xing.

"Has the enemy not changed its formation yet?" Ardashir asked the elite veteran who was in charge of long-range reconnaissance. It was raining heavily and the secret magic of light and shadow could not be used. The elite veterans' inherent reconnaissance ability became extremely important.

"No, they have completely maintained the same marching efficiency as before, neither speeding up nor slowing down. However, the battle formation is relatively tight, and there are no obvious flaws." The old soldier of the Holy Death Cavalry answered quickly. Obviously, in terms of accuracy, the information obtained by the old soldier of the Holy Death Cavalry was more accurate than that obtained by Li Jiong and others.

"Didn't you notice us?" Ardashir asked, turning his head to look at Tavasdes who was wearing a straw raincoat. Under the heavy rain, the sound of horse hooves had long been blocked, and the sound of talking was also covered up. Even when communicating with Tavasdes beside him, Ardashir had to almost shout.

"The other side must have scouts under their command, so it's impossible that they didn't notice us." Tavasdes shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate the Han Dynasty at any time. The Han Dynasty can only do better than us. We can directly judge that the other side has already discovered us and is just pretending not to see us."

"Okay, I'll lead the Holy Death Knights to the front." Ardashir said to Tavasdes, "Kill the enemy, and then we'll retreat!"

After saying that, Ardashir knocked on his helmet, and a golden light path extended straight out from under the horse's hooves and appeared directly at the feet of Yan Xing's army. Then, more than 500 Holy Death Knights, led by Ardashir, activated the miracle special effects and rushed towards the direction of Yan Xing's army.

"Damn it!" Yan Xing originally wanted to put on another act, but Ardashir unabashedly extended the cloud-solidified road to the front of Yan Xing's headquarters. Even if Yan Xing wanted to pretend he didn't know, it was unrealistic to buy time for his own headquarters.

After all, the opponent has already launched an attack. If he still wants to pretend that he doesn't know and just put on a show to buy time, that would be complete nonsense. Ardashir will not give the opponent any time at all.

"Ardashir really exploded and rushed straight up." Li Jiong's shadow soldiers rode on horses and looked at Ardashir in the rain with extremely ugly expressions.

"Let's just fight, why are you pretending now?" As he said that, Li Jiong rushed forward with 300 shadow soldiers who had the consciousness of elite veterans. Yes, they were the 300 carefully selected shield guards. As for why they were in the posture of cavalry, as for shadow soldiers, you can make them have wings, let alone cavalry with six legs, which is completely different!

"Damn it, I must ask Military Advisor Mao for advice when I go back. If I know how to self-destruct my military formation, I must give Ardashir a hard time now. Even if I can't kill him, I can at least make him look miserable!" Seeing Li Jiong rushing forward, Yan Xing immediately led his own shadow soldiers to rush forward. Compared with Li Jiong's group of elite backbones, the shadow soldiers under his command basically only have instincts.

After all, they are facing the Holy Death Knights. If ordinary soldiers dare to separate a part of their consciousness into the shadow soldiers to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the shadow soldiers, the Holy Death Knights' will attack can remotely cut off the spiritual will and deal a heavy blow to their brothers, or even directly kill the opponent. It is not impossible.

But Li Jiong's level is different. Damn it, even if I fight Miracle Veteran head-on, Miracle Veteran may not be able to kill Li Jiong. I control a shadow soldier to fight you, and you can kill me from a long distance? Are you kidding me, am I made of paper?

Just do it!

Rushing out in the rain, Ardashir was not surprised but happy to see this scene. It would have been bad if the Han army had no reaction at all. Now seeing that they directly sent elite cavalry to block them, it was obvious that they were a typical example of being skilled and brave and ready for a head-on confrontation.

As for why they are obviously elite cavalry, the 300 cavalry led by Li Jiong are really aggressive. This momentum alone is enough to prove their combat effectiveness.

"Die!" Li Jiong raised his gun and shot. The quality of this shadow soldier was far inferior to his own muscles that had been tempered a thousand times. Even with Li Jiong's will, the combat power he could display was only the fourth or fifth level of smelting. But then again, in this day and age, the fourth or fifth level of smelting was already strong enough. Even when Ardashir saw this elite force rushing out, he didn't doubt that this group of people were shadow soldiers!
The powerful blade formed by the materialization of the essence of heaven and earth directly burst out with golden light under Li Jiong's brilliant will. Then Li Jiong lowered his body, burst out with a speed beyond the limit as much as possible, and pierced towards the Holy Death Knight in front of him.

The spears were straight, fearless of life and death, the two sides crossed each other, and Li Jiong's spear was almost beaten back to its original shape under the miraculous and brilliant will, thanks to Li Jiong's good will, but his too fragile body made Li Jiong's spear unable to kill the soldiers of the opposite Holy Death Knight in time, and was pierced.

"Fuck fuck fuck, it hurts!" Li Jiong bounced up from the horse's back. The phantom pain of being killed by the Holy Death Knight was directly transmitted from the shadow soldier to Li Jiong's body. The entanglement and transmission of the light of will made Li Jiong suffer a will blow that was almost enough to kill an ordinary soldier. Fortunately, Li Jiong was strong enough, and this degree of pain was not enough to hurt Li Jiong. After wailing a few times, Li Jiong was fine.

"Don't let ordinary veterans use their consciousness to take over the Shadow Soldiers. The Holy Death Knight's normal attacks may cause damage to the consciousness of ordinary veterans when killing Shadow Soldiers. Those who don't have the talent for Refining Will may even be killed directly." Li Jiong informed Yan Xing of his judgment, and Yan Xing, with misty eyes, was now trash talking with Ardashir.

There is no way they can win in a fight. Let alone one Yan Xing, even five Yan Xings cannot defeat a beast like Ardashir. But this does not stop this Xiliang man from using trash talk to buy time.

"Ardashir, guess where I am now?" Yan Xingxing used the power of his internal energy to condense the essence of heaven and earth to avoid having his weapon broken by Ardashir. While fighting alone, he taunted Ardashir. As for the shadow soldiers under his command, they were no match for Ardashir's Holy Death Knights and were completely crushed.

But it doesn't matter. Being able to cause a little bit of damage to Ardashir's men is a huge victory for Yan Xing who uses shadow soldiers to fight.

"Nineteen miles ahead. How long do you think it will take me to catch up with you?" Ardashir said coldly. Although he fell into the trap, it was not Ardashir's habit to return empty-handed.

"Then guess, will they be the same shadow soldiers as here?" Yan Xing looked at Ardashir with a mocking expression, "And guess again, when will our reinforcements arrive?"

"So what if there are reinforcements?" Ardashir seized the opportunity, stabbed Yan Xing to death with a spear, and said with a sneer, "Just kill them all."

"All soldiers, follow me and chase!" Ardashir gave the order loudly, and then rushed out first. Ardashir did not take Yan Xing's provocation and ridicule seriously at all. What if there are reinforcements? You have rushed out with your entire army. If you fight a battle with me, Ardashir, in a place like this, my chance of winning is much higher than that of you, the Han Dynasty.

Seeing this, Tavasdes was unexpectedly silent. Normally, he should have persuaded Ardashir to retreat, but the army should not go out lightly. Since they had already come out, it would be a problem to withdraw without any gains. So in the face of Ardashir's order, Tavasdes was silent for a while, and just ordered people to strengthen reconnaissance and be prepared to encounter the Han army.

"All destroyed." Yan Xing covered his forehead and said, "The enemy's actual combat and reconnaissance capabilities are very strong. They have already determined our position. Next, I will send out another wave of shadow soldiers to try to stop the enemy and delay them. However, I am afraid that the effect this time will not be as good as last time."

As he was speaking, Yan Xing used Kandahar's reserve cloud energy to quickly separate a group of shadow soldiers, then raised his hand and used his legion talent to directly move them ten miles away to intercept the Holy Death Knights led by Ardashir. However, this action also made Yan Xing realize that he was indeed a bait. After all, fully opening up Kandahar's cloud energy for Yan Xing to use, this behavior...

"The enemy quickly appeared at a position ten miles away, as if they appeared suddenly." The old soldier of the Holy Death Knight who was conducting reconnaissance informed Ardashir of what he had discovered. Ardashir's face was somewhat gloomy. He had seen this trick of Yan Xing when he cooperated with Oswald to attack Kandahar. The enemy could use this trick to instantly move thousands of shadow soldiers ten miles away.

"Chase them and annihilate them. Is there any change in the location we scouted before?" Ardashir asked coldly.

"Nothing has changed, but the current situation does not guarantee that the enemy is not a shadow soldier." The old soldier of the Holy Death Knight looked worried. "The enemy may be further away, and if they go further, they will enter the mountainous terrain. If they deploy troops there, it will be very disadvantageous for us. If there are ambushes there, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to gain any advantage."

"Let's chase them." Ardashir thought for a moment and gave the order. He was now sure that his own tactics had been exposed, but it didn't matter. Even if it was exposed, they could still fight.

"The enemy is catching up soon." Yan Xing's face turned extremely ugly. The second wave of shadow soldiers had almost no effect. They only bought Yan Xing and his headquarters two quarters of an hour. However, this time was still not enough for Yan Xing and his men to retreat to the advantageous terrain and hold on until help came.

Just when Yan Xing was about to draw on the cloud energy to use the third wave of shadow soldiers, Cheng Yin held Yan Xing down.

I can barely get up. I got beaten at work today. It was so miserable.
