Chapter 176 The Brave Broke His Wrist
A poisonous arrow shot silently from behind Ao Lie who was taking care of Xu Rong. Ao Lie squatted down and used Wandian Zhu Lanpei to help Xu Rong detoxify because of Xu Rong's injury. Although he felt the cold wind coming, he knew that the poisonous arrow was coming, but he could not stand up to block it. Once Ao Lie got up, Xu Rong lost the help of Wandian Zhu Lanpei, and the toxins would inevitably kill him. At the same time, Ao Lie could not hide from the side, otherwise, the injured Xu Rong would be exposed to the poisonous arrow shot.
Xu Rong, who was on the front, could naturally see what Ao Lie could feel. Xu Rong struggled to push Ao Lie away, but Ao Lie held it firmly. Xu Rong shouted loudly: "Do not! Go away quickly!" Ao Lie was unmoved, and stubbornly pressed the Wandian Zhu Lanpei, continuing to help Xu Rong detoxify, allowing the poisonous arrows behind him to shoot down. Now Ao Lie has no other way. He is determined not to give up Xu Rong. He can only secretly look forward to the poisonous arrows shot at him and not land on his body covered by his armor. Ao Lie is still very confident about the strength of the Youlong Xiaotian Armor. As long as the poisonous arrows are shot on the armor, Ao Lie is confident that he will not be damaged. If he is not lucky and is shot outside the coverage of the armor by the poisonous arrows, Ao Lie will be willing to admit his bad luck.
Zheng--
With a light sound, the poisonous arrow shot just as Ao Lie expected, just as he shot on the heart protection mirror of Youlong Xiaotian Armor. After a string of sparks, the poisonous arrow bounced back to the ground, and even failed to leave a trace on the heart protection mirror.
"I shot, haha... Uh, what's going on?" Yuan Shu jumped and shouted ecstatically when he saw Ao Lie being shot. But as soon as he shouted out half of what he wanted to say, he found that Ao Lie was completely unscathed. All his excitement was useless.
After a moment of froze, Yuan Shu was so angry that he shouted in anger: "Cheep for someone! Shoot hard! I don't believe that Ao Mohan is an indestructible body, shoot! Shoot him to death!" In anger, Yuan Shu was already a little incoherent. The words he shouted had a surprising grammatical problem.
The crossbowmen of Yuan Jun had no intention of studying the ambiguity in Yuan Shu's words. They knew that the Yuan brothers were all moody people, for fear that they would vent their anger on them, so they immediately bent their bows and arrows and launched a third volley in the direction of Ao Lie.
Because Yuan Shu specifically ordered to shoot Ao Lie. So one-fifth of the poisonous arrows shot by the Yuan army's crossbowmen this time were shot down at Ao Lie's place, and the other four-fifths shot around Ao Lie's body. The intention was very obvious, to prevent others from coming forward to rescue Ao Lie.
The dozens of elite soldiers near Ao Lie saw through Yuan Jun's intentions, roared up their broad chests, and built a steel Great Wall behind Ao Lie with their flesh and blood. They used their slashing sabers in their hands, used their solid iron armor, and even their own bodies to block as many poisonous arrows as possible for Ao Lie. When the rain of arrows passed, each of the dozens of elite soldiers had at least two poisonous arrows inserted into their bodies. One poisonous arrow was enough to be fatal, let alone two? But what is admirable is that none of the dozens of elite soldiers fell down even if they died. Their bodies, which had lost their vitality, were still standing straight and straight, using their bodies to continue to perform their unfulfilled duties.
However, there were only dozens of elite soldiers around Ao Lie. Although they tried their best to protect Ao Lie at the cost of their lives, there were still several poisonous arrows passing through the gaps of the human wall, one of which shot straight towards Ao Lie's back. Everything should not be repeated. The first time to block the poisonous arrow was Ao Lie's luck, but this time, no one could guarantee that Ao Lie's good luck had not been used up.
When Ma Chao and Ao Lie's subordinates saw this situation, they were all stunned and had no choice but to whip it. Even though they were extremely anxious, they could not do anything. Seeing that the poisonous arrow was about to hit Ao Lie, a figure suddenly blocked Ao Lie's body, blocking the arrow for Ao Lie with his petite body.
With a thud, Sun Shangxiang's petite body fell weakly to the ground. A poisonous arrow suddenly penetrated near her heart. If it was a little higher, even if the arrow was not poisonous, she might have died on the spot. A black blood stain was left along the corner of Sun Shangxiang's mouth and dripped onto the ground in front of Ao Lie's eyes.
"Brother Sun Ren!" Ao Lie shouted in grief, but Sun Shangxiang, who was lying on the ground, did not respond at all.
"Ren'er!"
"Little sister!"
When Sun Jian and Sun Ce saw Sun Shangxiang fall to the ground by arrows, they shouted sadly at the same time. The shouts of father and son overlapped together, and Ao Lie was sad at the moment and did not notice Sun Ce's name for Sun Shangxiang at all.
Over the past few days, every bit of the time I spent with Sun Shangxiang was played repeatedly in Ao Lie's mind, making Ao Lie feel very distressed. Ao Lie has always believed that Sun Shangxiang is a complete womb, and his personality lacks the kind of ambition of Sun Jian and Sun Ce, so Ao Lie has never been very tempted by Sun Shangxiang. However, Ao Lie never expected that at the critical moment, the one who stood up and blocked the poison arrow for him was Sun Shangxiang, whom he had never looked down upon. It was Sun Shangxiang whom he had never looked down upon. It was at this moment, Sun Shangxiang's former figure became clearer and clearer in Ao Lie's mind, and deeply imprinted in Ao Lie's memory.
Xu Rong, who was sitting on the ground, felt the sadness in Ao Lie's heart. After a breath, Xu Rong suddenly pushed Ao Lie away, struggled to stand up, stretched out his right hand to pull up the sword inserted on the ground, and cut off his left arm shoulder-to-shoulder. The blood, which was not contaminated by toxins, splashed onto Ao Lie's face with Xu Rong's body temperature. Xu Rong, with a pale face, shook his body, stood with difficulty, barely smiled at Ao Lie, and said reluctantly: "Lord, Xu Rong has made a choice for you."
Xu Rong is Ao Lie's subordinate, and Sun Shangxiang is Sun Jian's descendant. Both were shot by poisonous arrows at the same time, and their lives were worrying, but Zhu Lanpei was only one. Although Xu Rong had not been a member of Ao Lie's subordinate for a long time, he knew Ao Lie's character quite well. If he was saved by others, he would not be able to repay him in the future, but Ao Lie would definitely not be able to do it. Therefore, in the face of such a difficult multiple-choice question, Xu Rong used the method of cutting off his arm to help Ao Lie make a decision.
Ao Lie sighed. Then he turned his head and pressed the Wanzhu Zhu Lanpei to Sun Shangxiang's chest. Sun Shangxiang is already twelve years old and his body has begun to develop. Although he is separated by a layer of iron armor, Ao Lie still feels the softness of Sun Shangxiang's chest. But Ao Lie is anxious at this moment. He only wants to save Sun Shangxiang's life, and has no other thoughts at all, so he automatically blocks the question of why Sun Shangxiang's chest is so soft in his brain.
Taking advantage of the slightest rain of Yuan Jun, Ao Lie's generals rushed over and surrounded Ao Lie to prevent such danger from happening again. Sun Jian and Sun Ce came to Ao Lie with deep worries. Sun Jian's face was full of tears, and he squatted beside Sun Shangxiang, stretched out his big hand that was rough because of his long-term holding weapons, gently stroked Sun Shangxiang's face, and whispered in a low voice: "Ren'er. Wake up, don't scare Dad, okay? What are you going to have? How do you let Dad and your mother live? Ren'er, did you hear it? Open your eyes and see if Dad is okay?"
Every word Sun Jian said was like a giant hammer, hitting Ao Lie's heart hard, smashing Ao Lie's heart to pieces. Ao Lie and Sun Jian were not close or not. When Ao Lie was killed, Sun Jian led his army to rescue him from the perspective of righteousness, but now because of the rescue of Ao Lie, he put Sun Shangxiang in. If anyone was replaced, he would not feel good. Moreover, Sun Shangxiang would be shot in just to block the arrows for Ao Lie, which made Ao Lie even more blameless.
On the other side of the battlefield, Yuan Shao saw that he could not shoot Ao Lie again this time. The irritability in his heart was almost broken. However, what made Yuan Shao even more depressed was that Yuan Shu quietly said in Yuan Shao's ear: "Brother, the poisonous arrows have been used up, what should we do?" Because of the haste time and the lack of venom from the aconitum grass brought by Yuan Shu, the Yuan army had only had time to soak out more than 3,000 poisonous arrows. After the previous three rounds of volleys, the soaked poisonous arrows were sold out.
"What should I do? How do I know what to do!" Yuan Shao replied to Yuan Shu angrily.
Suddenly, a majestic voice sounded above the Yuan brothers' heads: "Yuan Benchu, the Yuan family is really a waste of being the three masters of the four generations, and you are a scum like you!"
Yuan Shao was shocked and hurriedly looked up. He saw Lu Bu standing on the mountainside not far beside Yuan Shao with the Fangtian painting halberd in his hand. At the critical moment, Lu Bu finally arrived. Lu Bu separated from Ao Lie in the early morning this morning, and Ao Lie was ambushed at noon. There was a half day difference in between, coupled with Zhao Yun's time to chase Lu Bu and the time when Lu Bu led his army back, Lu Bu was delayed a lot of effort on the way, and almost almost parted with Ao Lie's heavenly beings.
With Lu Bu's appearance, the sound of horse hooves was heard. In the northwest, Zhao Yun led the Bingzhou wolf cavalry under Lu Bu's command to roll up the dust in the sky and headed straight to the battlefield. "Zhao Zilong in Changshan is here, who dares to fight?" Zhao Yun Qingyue's voice rarely brought a sense of domineering, which shows that he was worried about Ao Lie in his heart at this time.
Lu Bu's voice sounded again: "Yuan Benchu, look around you. As long as I give the order, we will all be burned!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao quickly turned his head and looked at the surrounding mountains. Countless Bingzhou troops emerged from behind the rocks. They had no weapons in their hands, no armor on their bodies, and were only wearing cloth clothes. Some people held fire notes, some were holding two huge wine jars, and some were tied with dry firewood on their bodies. As soon as a little spark appeared, their bodies would be ignited immediately. Then, taking advantage of their condescending advantages, they rushed down the mountain with flames, and passed the flames on their bodies to the coalition forces. As the fire spreads, everyone was buried in the sea of fire together.
Lu Bu knew clearly that the strength of the vassal coalition was far higher than that of the Bingzhou Army. If he fought hard, not only would he not be able to save Ao Lie, but even the Bingzhou Army would be wiped out. Therefore, Lu Bu came up with such a suicide method to threaten Yuan Shao and others. Lu Bu understood that Yuan Shao and others were all children of aristocratic families and were very deserving of their lives. They would not feel distressed even if they sacrificed 100,000 subordinates, but once their own lives were threatened, they would easily retreat.
"How is it? You and I each take a step back. It's not difficult for anyone to do anything today. They lead their troops to leave. If you miss today, whoever loses and who wins depends on their own methods." Lu Bu's tough voice came down from the mountainside. Lu Bu's words were well-controlled. They would not let Yuan Shao and others have the intention to die, but also clearly told the other party about his determination to die.
Yuan Shao stared at Ao Lie who was detoxifying Sun Shangxiang, then turned his head and looked around, catching the horror on the faces of the princes. After a while, Yuan Shao, with deep reluctance, two words popped out from his teeth: "Retreat!"
