Turbulent Times Chapter 308: Pursuing (4)
The dead man carrying the "four sable fur" turned out to be a master, and his figure kept intersecting with Shangguanhu. If you shoot arrows rashly, you will easily accidentally injure Shangguanhu. In addition, what made the soldiers even more uncomfortable was that the enemy general with four sable furs under his brocade cap did not affect the actions of the dead soldiers. The whole person seemed to have no weight at all, rising and falling with the beating of the dead man below him.
"Damn it, who are you and where is the dog thief Xue Qiluo now! Tell me, and I will spare your life!" At this moment, Shangguanhu also knew that he had been tricked by the golden cicada to get out of his shell. His eyes were red with anger, and while waving his knife to greet the dead man, he kept asking questions.
"Idiot, would you tell the enemy if it were you?" The dead soldier was the commander of Xue Qiluo's personal soldiers. At this time, he responded with a sneer. They all fell down.
Shangguan Hu was angry and anxious, and continued to slash with his knife. The opponent has already disregarded life and death, brandishing a steel knife, trying to exchange life with him. For a moment, the two sides actually stood inseparable. For no reason, more rout soldiers quickly fled from both sides of the mountain road, without the slightest interference from Yujian.
But this person only took more than 30 tricks before he was chopped down by Shangguan Hu. The "cicada slough" used by the latter also showed its prototype, it was actually a pre-made straw man wearing Xue Qiluo's robe.
"Keep chasing!" Shangguan Hu was in a hurry, chopped the four mink tails into eight sections with a knife, and continued to chop and kill the enemy along the mountain road.
More than fifty soldiers were sweating profusely from running, but they carried out Shangguan Hu's order without hesitation. Shangguan Hu himself took the lead, clung to the rout soldiers, and while chasing them, he swung his knife and slashed at the enemies blocking his way.
A dozen of Xue Yantuo's defeated soldiers were forced to jump over the wall by him, shouting and turning to fight. Shangguan Hu swung his saber and rushed over, slashing and chopping wildly, there was no enemy in his hands. The soldiers following behind him also rushed up one after another, slashing and killing the surrounding rout soldiers. In a blink of an eye, another group of rout soldiers were hacked to death, and blood flowed all over the ground along the mountain road.
Shangguanhu raised his machete and continued to chase and kill the rout soldiers. At another dangerous point, he encountered more than a hundred enemy troops. After a little hesitation, he rushed into the enemy team like a mad tiger.
Shangguanhu, who had already killed his red eyes, led more than fifty personal soldiers, rampaging through Xue Yantuo's broken army. While cutting, he yelled loudly, "Only kill the chief evil, surrender and avoid death!"
"Only punish the chief evil, surrender to avoid death!"
"Only punish the chief evil, surrender to avoid death!"
The guards also shouted. The four words in the second half came at just the right time. Facing the ferocious Shangguanhu and his soldiers, the hundreds of Xue Yantuo who were blocked on the mountain road thought that the Sui army had chased them, completely lost their fighting spirit, threw away their weapons, and knelt down one after another. on the ground.
"Where is Xue Qiluo, who saw your little chief Xue Qiluo?" Seeing that the armor was a little neater, he pressed the horizontal knife on the opponent's neck and asked loudly.
The first broken soldier shook his head and refused to answer, and he wiped off his throat on the spot. The second and third surrendered soldiers replied that they did not know, and they were also executed one by one by him. Seeing him running towards the fourth unlucky guy again, among the defeated soldiers who had already surrendered, finally someone couldn't bear the pressure, opened his voice, and cried loudly: "The little chief is protected by hundreds of tent soldiers. It's over."
"Damn it, why didn't you say it earlier!" Shangguan Hu yelled and dropped the prisoner in his hand, and rushed forward again. More than a dozen of the more than fifty personal soldiers were injured, and the rest were already exhausted. However, they are personal soldiers, so they can only bite the bullet and chase after them.
The clouds were thick, the snowflakes were flying, and the night was so thick that you couldn't see your fingers.
"Kill!" Shangguan Hu lunged out from the snowflakes, swung his knife and chopped at the head of a Xue Yantuo soldier in fur.
"Forgive me—" the soldier Xue Yantuo let out a scream, but he didn't have the courage to turn around to fight, but instinctively covered his head with his hands.
The next moment, his four fingers flew into the night sky. Shangguanhu pressed the steel knife on the top of his head, stared at his scarlet eyes, and his face looked fierce: "Where is your little chief? Where is Xue Qiluo? Tell me, and I will spare you!"
"The little chief is wearing a silver battle armor and is being carried by his own soldiers. He has already run away. Forgive, spare!" Xue Yantuo, whose finger was cut off by Qi Gen, twisted his face in pain, but dared not cry. Holding the bare right palm with his left hand, he stammered the report.
"Get out!" Shangguan Hu kicked the man down the hillside, and then continued to chase along the mountain road.
Xue Qiluo is the commander of the Turkic army and the chief of the Xue Yantuo tribe, the second largest Turkic tribe. If he can capture this person alive, his military exploits will be no less than tens of thousands of people beheaded.
Shangguanhu has already inquired very clearly from Li Congrui that Wang Junlin is currently serving as General Yingyanglang of Zhangye County. He has six captains of Guoyi under his command. Among the confidantes of the direct line, two of them have been killed by Wang Junlin, and the remaining three will also be sent to Kyoto as prisoners charged with treason. The imperial court will definitely send two or three people to the vacant positions, and there are at least two remaining Captain Guo Yi who are vacant, and he has his eye on one of them.
However, under Wang Junlin's command, there are many people who can serve as captains of Guoyi. Zhou Hu, Jiang Mulang, Su Changqing, and Li Xiang in Gaotai City were the four captains who followed Wang Junlin the first time, as well as Niu Jinda and Zhangye County soldiers. There were more than a dozen captains who did not belong to the Li family. If he, Shangguanhu, hadn't made great military achievements, he would not have been able to take the position of Captain Guo Yi.
So, even though his legs were already sore from running, even though his left and right chest seemed to be on fire, Shangguan Hu never stopped. Persevere a little longer, and it is possible to catch up. For the sake of the mountain, you can't fall short! The enemy's troops were already at war, and they didn't have the courage to fight back at all. The enemy army was exhausted and could not raise their weapons even if they wanted to fight back. And all he needs to do is to grit his teeth and catch up along the mountain road for a while, and then he can win a perfect ending for this battle.
"Master Captain, Lord Captain, wait, wait for us!" A group of soldiers caught up panting, followed behind Shangguanhu, and slashed at the defeated soldiers they encountered along the way.
Those rout soldiers seemed to have lost their souls. It was clear that their number was several times that of them, and it was clear that everyone could cut them into pieces by raising their knives.
However, none of the defeated soldiers dared to resist, they just held their heads in their hands, dodged and begged for mercy, like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
