Chapter 140 Twenty-one Riders
A Xirong master who was greedy for merit was overjoyed. He thought that Li Luo was almost exhausted, so he jumped up and grabbed him. He raised his saber and chopped off Li Luo's head. Li Luo looked into the space and did not even look at Li Luo's head.
of sharp blade.
The Xirong warrior could not suppress the ecstasy in his heart, as if he had seen countless gold treasures, his heart beat wildly, and a numbing feeling spread along his spine to the tips of his hair.
Suddenly, he felt a trance, and he felt a chill in his body. The knife in his hand became slower and slower, the voices of his companions beside him became smaller and smaller, and Li Luo's figure became farther and farther away. The Xirong warrior wanted to shake his head and see clearly.
But he didn't have a trace of strength in his body. When he fell to the ground, the Xirong master didn't have time to think about what happened.
Chu Ying'er took a breath. Although she had expected it, she still broke into a cold sweat when she saw the knife in Li Luo's hand. The knife seemed to be slow but it was fast. The knife was seen rising but not falling. It was dazzling against the sunset.
, only when five corpses were left on the ground did people wake up to the eye-catching danger.
Only the last Xirong warrior barely blocked half of the move. He knelt on the ground and could not get up. The sword energy entered his body, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth with every twitch. Li Luo stepped forward, raised the long knife in his hand, and
Just as he was about to send the Xirong general away, Chang Ning suddenly heard a sharp voice: "Stop."
Li Luo paused and looked at the Xirong warriors at his feet. Another shout came from outside the formation. Li Luo gently put down the raised sword. Without looking at the Xirong soldiers at his feet, he asked lightly: "He just entered
He said something after the formation, what was he talking about?"
Chu Ying'er was slightly startled and replied: "It means that if you kill the young master, you can get the golden beauty."
Li Luo smiled and said nothing.
After three fights, everyone was already somewhat powerless. Hua Qi was already at the end of his crossbow, and could no longer stop the Xirong soldiers. At this time, he was leaning against the stone wall, unable to lift the hand holding the knife, and could only breathe heavily.
There were no distracting thoughts in Chu Ying'er's mind when they were fighting just now. Now that the military crisis has been suspended, Chu Ying'er's thoughts swarmed into her mind, including quelling the civil strife, killing the emperor's relatives, traveling to the Wind Valley, and what happened with Li Luo flashed through Chu Ying'er's mind one by one.
Pass.
Chu Ying'er took a breath, stood up slowly, and looked at Li Luo, who had his back turned to her. If it weren't for the mask, he would have seen the slight smile curling up at the corner of Chu Ying'er's mouth.
Hua Qi struggled a few times and shouted loudly: "Sir, please break out of the encirclement quickly."
Chu Ying'er and Chang Ning looked at Li Luo intently, and the unknown woman also turned to look at Li Luo, wondering what Li Luo's plan was in this desperate situation.
Li Luo did not respond, but asked: "What are the Xirong soldiers outside the formation shouting?"
Chu Ying'er made a careful analysis and replied: "Sir, they are mobilizing troops. The Xirong army will attack with all their strength immediately and are looking for something to ignite the fire. There are huge rocks outside the formation, and bows and arrows cannot reach it. But if we throw torches in, we may
It’s hard to resist, Master..."
Before Chu Ying'er finished speaking, Li Luo said: "Once the Xirong troops attack, Chu Ying'er, you and Miss Changning, take Hua Qi and this girl to fight southward, I will hold them back in the formation
When they get to the Luocao Mountain area, there will be someone to pick you up."
"Young Master, you must not do this." Hua Qi and Chu Ying'er hurriedly replied.
Li Luo stopped covering up and shouted in a deep voice: "The general's order is not child's play." After a slight pause, he continued: "Chu Ying'er, send Miss Changning back to Xirong."
Li Luo spoke seriously, and Chu Ying'er and Hua Qiyi didn't know how to respond.
While hesitating, Li Luo suddenly turned around, looked at a few people, a relieved smile slowly appeared on his face, and said softly: "I'm sorry for you."
Hua Qi knelt on the ground and said casually: "Sir, you and Miss Chu will leave first with the two girls. Hua Qi will stay and kill again."
Hua Qi knew that he was seriously injured and would not be able to go far even if he broke through the encirclement. He was determined to die and did not want to drag anyone down anymore.
Li Luo's heart warmed, and he shook his head and said: "Brother Hua, don't give up easily. I am the only one who can hold back the Xirong soldiers. Don't fight any more. Just obey your orders. I will wait for an opportunity to escape into the Hundred Thousand Mountains."
Chu Ying'er raised her voice and said: "Young Master, they are coming to kill you."
Countless torches were lit outside the formation, and nearly a thousand Xirong soldiers slowly moved towards where a few people were hiding to cover them up.
They had just fought several times, but Xirong had lost no more than a hundred men, which did not harm the overall situation. Now that the heavy troops were approaching, Li Luo sighed secretly, there will always be an end to the number of men, and he did not expect to be in the current predicament.
However, I felt an inexplicable relief in my heart, as if I had let go of something. Luocao Mountain, Shuangfeng Camp, and Qiangxing were no longer important, nor were the murderous Xirong soldiers outside the formation. In the end, the world seemed to have calmed down.
, success and failure are like floating clouds in the wind, scattered without a trace.
Li Luo slowly let go of the long knife in his hand, and suddenly held the handle again. His heart tightened. Chu Ying'er and Chang Ning behind him were not out of danger yet. Li Luo shook his head, put aside his distracting thoughts, and was about to take action.
.
At this moment, on the southwest side of the slope, the Xirong army formation suddenly went into chaos. A group of cavalry broke through the encirclement and rushed towards the stone formation. Li Luo frowned, then let go, and saw that the unknown woman had covered herself up.
Li Luo jumped between the rocks and said loudly: "Let them come in."
As soon as the words fell, Hua Qi could no longer hold on and finally collapsed to the ground.
The twenty-one cavalrymen rushed towards the slope like lightning, abandoned their horses and scattered among the rocks, and quickly disappeared into the formation. The formation was only a few feet wide, and when the soldiers entered the formation, it was already a little cramped.
The cavalry took the arrows and sealed the three passages of the stone formation in an orderly manner, showing that they were a strong force that had been on the battlefield for a long time. The leading general came to Li Luo, knelt down and saluted: "The end will come later, please come."
General, forgive me."
"Chi Li?"
"Miss Chu is tired, please rest for a while and hand over to our right battalion." The general raised his head, resolute and handsome, it was Chi Li, the commander of the right battalion of the Mu Tianlang Central Army.
Li Luo helped Chi Li up, indicating that there was no need to be polite. Chi Li was stunned when he saw Chang Ning, nodded slightly, turned around and ordered his soldiers to stop the invading cavalry.
The slope is difficult to reach with bows and arrows from the bottom up, but it is very convenient from the top down. Although the number of more than 20 horsemen is not large, they guard three important roads. After several rounds of crossbows, the Xirong soldiers left hundreds of corpses and were forced to the slope.
Down, I didn’t dare to go up the mountain rashly for a while.
Chu Ying'er breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak when she saw Li Luo and Chi Li both frowning and looking solemn. Chi Li said in a deep voice: "General, I'm afraid something will happen in Chi. The general will think that we have to withdraw."
This is the best policy. After a long battle, we don’t have many bows and arrows. Once the Xirong reinforcements arrive, it will be in danger."
