Vol 2 Chapter 2844: The blood-transforming magic sword kills Yu Rongwang and Li Cunxiaochu

Chapter 2840: The blood-turning sword kills Yu Rongwang, Li Cunxiao fights Yuan Jiuling for the first time

In order to ensure that Puyang City could be captured within ten days, Bai Qi deliberately ignored and put aside some troubles, such as Yin Shou's troops in Yan County and the growing rebel army in Dong County that had not yet been wiped out.

With Huang Feihu watching over Yin Shou, there will naturally be no trouble. Moreover, once Puyang is defeated, Yan County will be an isolated city, and it doesn't matter whether we fight or not.

 This is also the main reason why Bai Qi left Yin Shou alone.

　　If the rebels in Dandong County are left alone, something might really happen.

Although Bai Qi captured Puyang, the grain depot was burned ahead of time by Le Yi. The Qin army failed to obtain any grain supplies in Puyang, so they had to transport grain from the rear.

But the problem is that under Bai Qi's indulgence, the rebels are now raging in Dongjun, and their number has reached 25,000, which has affected the Qin army's food transportation.

Therefore, before sending troops to help Yin, Bai Qi had to send troops to suppress the rebels first.

 “Where are Hao Zhao and Wu Wenhua?”

Hearing Bai Qi calling him, Hao Zhao and Wu Wenhua quickly stood up and responded loudly: "The end will be here."

“With Hao Zhao as the leader and Wu Wenhua as the auxiliary, we will lead an army of 5,000 to suppress the Dongjun uprising army as quickly as possible without any mistakes.”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

Hao Zhao and Wu Wenhua were overjoyed and immediately accepted the order and strode away.

Although the number of rebels in Dongjun was large, they were all a mob, and five thousand Qin troops were dispatched to suppress them. It's more than enough.

Bai Qi's eyes fell on Tian Feng and continued: "Commander Tian, ​​you will lead 15,000 people to sit in Puyang, clean the battlefield, take care of the prisoners of war, appease the people, and mobilize the people to repair the city walls. When General Yu Hua returns, he will stay To assist you.”

Tian Feng happily accepted the order and said: "No."

Although the Qin army captured Puyang, the west city wall collapsed, and repairing the city wall was a major project that required a lot of labor.

Even if the Qin army provided money and food and let local people in Puyang serve as labor force, it would probably take more than ten days to repair it.

But Bai Qi was about to leave with his army, so the situation in Puyang City was not safe until the city wall was repaired.

In addition, there are nearly 10,000 prisoners of war in Puyang City. Coupled with Hao Zhao's suppression of the rebels, a large number of rebel prisoners will be taken back to Puyang for detention.

 Therefore, it is necessary to leave heavy troops to guard Puyang, otherwise chaos will easily occur in Puyang.

Bai Qi went to attack Jiyin. His purpose was to cut off Cao Cao's retreat. Naturally, the troops he brought with him were indispensable, but he also had to leave a lot of troops on Puyang's side.

After weighing the pros and cons, Bai Qi decided to leave 15,000 troops to Tian Feng, while he led the remaining 50,000 troops to Cao Wei's rear.

There is naturally no problem with Bai Qi's arrangement, but after Li Cunxiao hesitated for a while, he stood up and said: "Grand Governor, after Niu Mowang escapes, he will probably join Lan Yu. The general will ask for orders to go to support Qin and Yu. A general."

After hearing Li Cunxiao's words, Bai Qi also realized his omission. Even if Niu Mowang was injured by Li Cunxiao, Qin Niu and Yu Yuan would still be unable to do anything to him, and he might even be injured by Niu Mowang. Counterattack, after all, Lan Yu still has three powerful generals.

Bai Qi glanced at Li Cunxiao approvingly, then smiled lightly and said, "I didn't expect that Li Cunxiao, who has always been careless, would have such a careful side. I just hope that your carefulness will not be used only on your fellow disciples."

 “Who is careless?”

Li Cunxiao had a look of dissatisfaction upon hearing this, and then he chuckled and said: "Have you ever heard: After three days of separation, you should look at each other with admiration. Li Cunxiao is no better than before. He has read military books and Taoist strategies a lot."

 Bai Qi: “…”

“You will lead a hundred flying tiger troops to pursue Lan Yu. After the pursuit is over, you will come immediately to join the army. I still need your help this time to send troops to help Yin.”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

 Li Cunxiao responded loudly.

Li Cunxiao only led a hundred flying tiger troops to pursue him. He did not need any preparation at all. He went back and shouted loudly before leaving. The speed of dispatching troops was much faster than that of Hao Zhao and Wu Wenming.

Less than an hour after Li Cunxiao left, Bai Qi led Yu Hua, Fu Youde and other generals, as well as an army of 50,000 infantry and cavalry, directly southward and marched non-stop into Jiyin County.

On the contrary, Hao Zhao went to suppress the rebel army. Although the number of the 5,000 troops he led was small, it required a lot of preparation and intelligence gathering, so the speed of dispatching troops was the slowest.

Although Li Cunxiao was careless before, this time he really guessed it right.

 Niu Mo forgot that after escaping, Lan Yu's army had already withdrawn, and he followed the marching traces and caught up with Lan Yu's army.

 “Dad.”

Not only Niu Hong, but also Lan Yu and other generals were overjoyed to see Niu Mowang return. After all, with Niu Mowang around, they would be more likely to break out.

However, when they saw that Niu Mowang was injured, the hearts of everyone present sank. Needless to say, it was definitely Li Cunxiao who did it. Apart from him, few people could hurt Niu Mowang.

When Niu Mowang saw this, he immediately tore off the broken shoulder armor and said with a nonchalant smile: "It's just a skin injury, it's not a problem."

Although he said it lightly, Niu Mowang didn't think so in his heart. He found that every time he played against Li Cunxiao, Li Cunxiao made slight progress, but on the other hand, he was still at the same place.

If this continues, when facing Li Cunxiao, apart from burning his inner strength, he may really have no other trump card to use.

But Li Cunxiao was his younger junior brother. Even if he had enmity with Da Qin, he never thought of burning up his inner strength against Li Cunxiao.

Niu Mohuang thought that Li Cunxiao and him had improved after every battle, but in fact it was not Li Cunxiao who was improving, but that he was regaining his peak combat power, which put great pressure on Niu Mohuang.

"By the way, I came across a Qin army chasing troops, about two to three thousand cavalry, and they are now about thirty miles away from our army."

As soon as Niu Mowang said this, everyone present exclaimed. After all, for the cavalry, the distance of thirty miles is not that far, and they are a mixture of infantry and cavalry, so they must not be able to outrun the Qin army's cavalry.

Twenty thousand allied troops of the Wei and Ming Dynasties broke out, and now there are still 16,000 troops left, including 500 Wei troops, 15,500 Ming troops, and the number of cavalry is about 2,000.

There were only three thousand cavalry of the Qin army pursuing them. On the surface, they had a numerical advantage over the Wei and Ming coalition forces, but in fact this was not the case.

The cavalry of the Qin army were all recruited from frontier fortresses such as Youbin. They had experienced a series of battles, and their cavalry battles were much richer than those of the Central Plains cavalry. To put it bluntly, if fighting with the same number of people, the Qin cavalry can completely crush the Central Plains cavalry. Only elite battalions such as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry can be the opponents of the Great Qin cavalry. However, there are no elite battalions under Lan Yu's command now. .

Moreover, the Qin army does not need to fight head-on with the Wei and Ming coalition forces. They can completely rely on their speed advantage to fly kites. Even if they cannot drag down the coalition forces to death, as long as the defenders who dragged them to Dunqiu and other cities arrive, under the encirclement and suppression by many parties, the Lan Yu army will be able to fly the kite again. How could the entire army not be wiped out?

At this thought, Lan Yu's face suddenly became extremely gloomy. He knew that it would be difficult to break through from the north. After all, he had to pass through many cities occupied by Da Qin, but he did not expect that this first problem would stump him.

“Does Military Advisor Xun have a plan to help our army get out of trouble?” Lan Yu asked Xun You with a hopeful look on his face.

After Xun You pondered for a while, he said: "Now we can only take one step at a time. Let's try to ambush the pursuing Qin army first. If the ambush is successful, it will be best. If the Qin army is not fooled, we can only concentrate on it." The fine cavalry and the strong generals fight against this cavalry."

Lan Yu knew that Xun You was right. After all, if the cavalry was not dealt with, the Qin army's pursuers would continue to interfere with their march, thus slowing down their march, making it impossible to escape back to Juancheng.

But if the cavalry is defeated, the infantry will be the ones chasing them, and it will be much less difficult to escape from the pursuit of the infantry.

 “This is the only way to do it.”

Lan Yu sighed and prayed in his heart that the Qin general who was chasing him was a fool and could not see through his ambush.

Lan Yu was very experienced in setting up ambushes. In the three Central Plains wars, he had successfully ambushed the Wei and Song coalition forces. In addition, Xun You was by his side this time, so it was not difficult to find an ambush point.

From site selection to setting up an ambush, Lan Yu spent less than an hour. An ambush was set up, and the next step was to wait for the Qin army to catch up.

Qin Niu and Yu Yuan led three thousand cavalry to pursue them all the way, and finally caught up with the Lan Yu army who escaped from Puyang.

Yu Yuan couldn't wait to launch an attack, but was stopped by Qin Niu.

“General Yu, don’t worry, there may be an ambush here.”

Hearing what Qin Niu said, Yu Yuan asked with a puzzled face: "Lanyu was chased by our army and didn't even have time to take a breath. He actually still had time to set up an ambush?"

Qin Niu originally thought that Yu Yuan, who was born in the Shangqing Dynasty, should have a high level of military skills, but now it seems that he is a reckless man and does not even know some basic common sense on the battlefield.

Qin Niu pointed forward and said: "Look over there, the birds are circling but unwilling to return to the forest. This is a sign that there may be an ambush. Regardless of whether there is an ambush or not, we must deal with it carefully."

Hearing this, Yu Yuan couldn't help but nod. Of course he couldn't be illiterate, and he could even write well, but compared with the children of Qin Niu and other aristocratic families, he was still far behind in the art of war.

Before Yu Yuan joined the army, he had naturally read some military books, but it was only after he actually went to the battlefield that he realized that the military books he read were out of date a long time ago and were of no use in today's battlefield, and leading the army in battle did not rely on reading. A few military books will do.

  Qin Niu was not actually sure that there was an ambush, but since he found out that there might be an ambush, he naturally had to treat it with caution.

When Lan Yu and Xun You saw that the Qin army had slowed down and did not directly enter the ambush circle, they couldn't help but sigh, knowing that the ambush had been seen through by the Qin general, and the only way forward was a decisive battle.

Lan Yu immediately led two thousand cavalry and all the generals to fight, but the Qin army on the opposite side took the initiative to retreat.

Qin Niu is not stupid. Although he does not know about Niu Mowang's return, he only needs to delay it until the encirclement and suppression army arrives, so there is no need to confront the Lan Yu army head-on.

Seeing that the Qin army had retreated, Lan Yu's face suddenly became extremely ugly. After all, the worst situation had occurred, so he decisively ordered the cavalry to pursue them and at the same time asked Xun You to lead the infantry to continue retreating.

 At the same time, Qin Niu and Yu Yuan received a letter from Li Cunxiao and learned that Niu Mowang might have reunited with Lan Yu.

This also sent shivers down Qin Niu and Yu Yuan's spines. At the same time, they couldn't help but secretly rejoice that they didn't have a head-on confrontation with Lan Yu, otherwise they would both have died in battle.

“Lanyu personally led the cavalry here, intending to sacrifice the cavalry in exchange for the infantry to escape.”

After hearing what Qin Niu said, Yu Yuan quickly said: "We can't let these infantry escape. General Li Cunxiao will be here soon, and we don't need to be afraid of him Lan Yu."

Qin Niu also nodded in agreement, and then ordered: "Send the order, change direction, and fight Mingqi decisively."

Lan Yu was naturally overjoyed to see the Qin army turning around to fight, but soon he stopped laughing because Li Cunxiao came, and even though he only brought a hundred flying tiger troops, it was enough to pose a threat to them.

Lan Yu had no choice but to let Niu Mowang lead two hundred cavalry to hold Li Cunxiao back. But without Niu Mowang, it was obviously impossible to solve Qin Niu and Yu Yuan with just Jiang Wenhuan, Yu Rongwang and Niu Hong. After all, Qin Niu alone can defeat three of them alone.

Li Cunxiao was also very relaxed. After all, Niu Mowang had been injured by him before. Although the injury was not serious, it still had some impact on their level of competition.

Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more critical, Niu Mowang was anxious and could not help but threaten him: "Li Cunxiao, you Daqin bullies you too much. It really makes me anxious. I will burn out my inner strength, and everyone will die together. "

Li Cunxiao also showed a solemn look when he heard this. After all, if Niu Mowang burned his internal energy, he would definitely die under normal conditions, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt it was impossible, so he smiled and said: "Brother Niu, I believe you will not burn your internal energy. "

 “Li Cunxiao, don’t force me.”

“Senior Brother Niu, if you really burned your inner strength, you wouldn’t talk so much.”

"I…"

Niu Mowang cursed angrily. He didn't understand why Li Cunxiao was so confident and so sure that he would not burn up his inner strength.

 While the two were arguing, the melee between the five gods of war took a turn for the better.

Yu Yuan seized the opportunity and adopted the strategy of exchanging injuries for lives. After receiving a blow from Yu Rongwang, he zoomed in on his face and directly stabbed Yu Rongwang cleanly with a poisonous blood-transforming magic knife.

Although Yu Yuan has also been involved in the devil's way, he still despises a demon like Yu Rongwang who does not recognize his relatives and kills innocent people indiscriminately, so naturally he will not hold anything back.

The speed of the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword was not very fast, but Yu Yuan moved with his face close to his face. At such a close distance, Yu Rongwang had no time to dodge and could not avoid it.

Yu Yuan is not his apprentice Yu Hua. He can hit anyone with magical skills in the air, but the poisonous Blood-Transforming Divine Sword is even more vicious. Any scratch on his skin will kill him, let alone Yu Rongwang being directly penetrated by the blade.

The poison quickly invaded Yu Rongwang's internal organs, and Yu Rongwang could only fall into **** with full of unwillingness.

After Yu Rongwang’s death, the effect of the ‘Expelling God’ sealing weapon skill became ineffective, so naturally there was no suspense in this battle. It was only a matter of time before Jiang Wenhuan and Niu Hong were defeated.

Just when the battle situation completely turned to the Qin army, no one expected that a cavalry of 500 people would come to support Lan Yu, and the general at the head was Yuan Jiuling who disappeared on the Yingchuan battlefield.

“Li Cunxiao, how can you bully an injured person? Do you dare to fight with me, Yuan Jiuling?” Yuan Jiuling shouted with excitement.
