Heaven's Formula

"Then you must be missing your family? No... You obviously don't have a family." Yin Youzhan pondered for a moment, and then pretended to suddenly say, "Oh, I finally understand, you are thinking about your disciple."

"Hmph, shut up if you don't know how to guess." Although Ba Xingtian said so, there was a hint of a smile on his face.

"Hey, if His Highness is still in the frontier army, I can guarantee a complete victory in this battle." He said regretfully, "General Zuo is just too cautious."

At this time, a captain stepped forward and reported, "My lord, all the brothers are here, and no one is left behind!"

"Very good." Ba Xingtian waved his hand, "Recover the hanging rope, and the teams will move on!"

In the afternoon, the spies in front caught the figure of Gao Guo's frontier army.

In fact, the [-]-strong team could not completely hide their whereabouts. They were discovered by local hunters shortly after they entered the border of Qiguo.Under the high bounty, these people can be said to be the eyes of the frontier soldiers.

The encounter location at this time is still an extension of Pozigou, but the height of the fissure has dropped to about three or four feet, the cliff has retreated into a hillside, and the width has expanded to hundreds of feet, and there are no weird stalagmites on the surface. The army passed.Thirty miles further northeast, you will arrive at Baixi Lake—the landform there will suddenly become open and flat, and the disadvantage of Qi State's frontier troops in numbers will be revealed.

So it's best to do it before the other party walks out of this undulating area.

Ba Xingtian took his adjutant to a high place behind and approached to check the enemy's situation.

"Look, my lord, what they are transporting is...wood?" Yin Guerzhan had an unexpected discovery. "Are they trying to build a new resident?"

"I'm afraid that's the case." Ba Xingtian said in a concentrated voice.The road from Futian Castle to here is not easy, the raised hills obstruct the view very much, and there are many forks in the valley, no general would want his troops to stay here for too long.If you can gain a foothold in Baixi Lake, a good view can effectively prevent Qi Guojun from sneaking into the valley to ambush, and you can also get a stable rear passage.

The only reason why the Qiguo frontier army did not seize this place was because it was too far away from the rear garrison.

"Is this already a naked invasion?" Yin Guerzilla smacked his lips.

"That depends on who it is for. As long as it doesn't hit Leizhou Mansion, the court will probably accept it—after all, for ministers who have never been to the border, this place is just a wasteland with no one inhabited."

While Ba Xingtian was speaking, two roars suddenly sounded from the north.

The dull echo spread to everyone's ears along the valley.

"Thunder? No...it's the sound of shelling!" Yin Guerzilla perked up, "Has General Zuo approached the enemy?"

"No hurry, let them fight first." Ba Xingtian said calmly, "Pass my order, everyone is ready to follow the call!"

The sound of cannons came intermittently, and even the troops in Gaoguo's rear, which were still marching, were in some confusion.Some people stopped and hesitated, and some people continued to drive their livestock, making the bottom of the valley a lot more crowded.

Ba Xingtian remained motionless.

Until the two soaring firecrackers rushed to the sky, making a sharp and ear-piercing whistling sound.Even if it is more than ten miles apart, its voice is clearly distinguishable.

That is the signal agreed by the two armies!

"Blow the horn, the whole army will attack!" Ba Xingtian issued an order.

The sergeants who had been gearing up for a long time suddenly rushed out from behind the hillside, and rushed towards the Gaoguo troops in the valley!Although the opponent sent out scouts, they were basically concentrated on the right wing and the front. They never expected that a surprise soldier would pass through Pozigou and go directly behind them.

The marching team suddenly became chaotic!

Ba Xingtian even rushed to the front, the huge sword in his hand was whipped up by gusts of wind, and everywhere the blade went, blood mist was splashed.

"Hold on, don't retreat!" An enemy general restrained his troops while driving his horse towards Ba Xingtian, "I am Mengduo of the Gao Kingdom, come and give me your name!"

"I'm your grandfather!" Ba Xingtian caught the spear stabbed by the opponent with one hand, pulled him off the horse, and then slapped the handle of the knife, knocking the opponent's head apart.

"The horse is mine!"

After finishing off the enemy general, he turned over and stepped on the opponent's mount, and rushed into the crowd again.

Gao Guo soldiers were horrified to find that no matter whether it was a crossbow or a chopping knife, there was no way to stop this person's charge. The sharp blade seemed to have lost its usual sharpness. Even if it was cut on the opponent's body, it would only leave a light gray mark.

Invincible strange power, coupled with an invulnerable body, soon someone reacted.

"Fudo Myokami's power! It's Qi Country's guardian Ba ​​Xingtian!"

"Why is he here?"

"Where is Fang Warlock? Quickly notify the front team!"

The effective resistance of this army only lasted for more than ten breaths before it collapsed. Once a person turned around and ran away, panic would spread like the wind.

The crowding magnifies the effect of collapse.

Everyone fled towards the exit of the valley, while Ba Xingtian followed and chased him all the way, the splashed blood stained half of his armor red.

But unexpectedly, in less than a quarter of an hour, the density of the crowd dropped suddenly, as if he had already killed the entire army.

How is this going?

There are not as many as 2 people in Gaoguo's frontier army.

Ba Xingtian's envisioned situation is that General Zuo and his elite flank the opponent back and forth, destroying their vitality to the maximum extent, and when the enemy's formation is in chaos and flees in a hurry, the two troops will gather together again to further expand the battle results.

But he didn't see General Zuo's flag.

At this moment of hesitation, he had already rushed out of the valley road with his men and horses, and his vision suddenly widened.

Ba Xingtian saw Baixi Lake not far away at a glance.

At the same time, there are densely packed soldiers standing by the lake, almost invisible at a glance.They lined up, armed with long guns, and showed no signs of having experienced a major battle.

And the flags waving in the wind in the team are all the military flags of the high country.

Chapter 178 The Beacon Fires the Frontier

"This is... what's going on?" Yin Guerzhe stared blankly at the opponent's strict formation for a while, and then yelled, "What the hell is going on! Where is General Zuo's army? Didn't he send a signal! ?”

"Let's go back the same way." Ba Xingtian made a judgment in an instant, "Pass my order, the rear army will change to the front army, and I will cut off the rear—"

"Report!" Before he finished speaking, a captain hurriedly interrupted him, "My lord, a large number of high country troops have appeared on the valley road, and they are still setting up horses and roadblocks!"

"So the baggage brought by the other party is not for building the camp, but to intercept us?" Yin Guerzilla opened his mouth blankly, "They already knew that we would turn over from Pozigou?"

"Be sober!" Ba Xingtian roared, drawing everyone's flustered attention to himself, "The enemy number is only [-], and they are encircled by all directions, so there must be weaknesses! If you are trapped at the crossing, you will die, and you will break through with all your might!" , there is still a glimmer of life!"

"But... where are we going to break through?"

"To the east is the road to Qiguo. They can't let us go easily. To the north is a vast swamp. I guess the other party will not stick to this road. And there is Baixi Lake in front of it. If there is good water quality, it will be a big deal later. Jumping into the lake and escaping by yourself, I will not pursue it!" Ba Xingtian took a deep breath and said loudly, "Listen up, everyone, this battle is likely to be your last battle. But no matter what, we have to break through this line of defense , not for anything else, just to bring this news back to Leizhou Mansion!"

"If we are all buried here, this is a meaningless defeat, and the world will only blame me for being incompetent!"

"But if someone can go back alive, what the thief Zuo An has done will not be covered up! Think about it, when others poke our spines and scold us, the murderer behind the scenes lives in the world with peace of mind. Can you bear this tone? "

"My lord, I can't bear it..."

"Absolutely can't bear it!"

"My lord, we have to fight back!"

The soldiers shouted one after another, and soon became a wave.

"That's right, traitors deserve a terrible death! And we have to rush out to have a chance of revenge! Everyone obeys my order, go north, and then return to Leizhou! Even if we climb, we must climb out of this dead land!"

"Go back to Leizhou!"

"Go back to Leizhou!"

Ba Xingtian waved his hand, "Blow the charge!"

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

With the sound of the horn, this 2000-strong army plunged into Gao Guo's invisible army formation.

The lakeside boiled.

……

When night fell, the sound of fighting finally faded away.

Ba Xingtian didn't know how many people's heads he had smashed, and some of them were alchemists.Fudo Myojin shattered and shattered under the uninterrupted blows until he had no energy left to perform new genjutsu.

In the beginning, there were adjutants and personal soldiers by his side, but gradually, they were cut down and stabbed to death one by one, until there was no one around him.

It is not known how many soldiers escaped from the desperate situation.

I hope Baixi Lake can hide their whereabouts.

Ba Xingtian dragged his almost numb body out for several miles, and when he confirmed that there were no enemies following him, he found a big tree and sat down slowly.

One arm was cut off, and there were nearly a hundred inch-long wounds all over his body, and the blood that flowed out almost overflowed his shirt.

Although Genshu is unparalleled in power and is very suitable for a battlefield where blood and flesh are flying, it is not to the point of being invincible.It is a miracle in itself to be able to stand out from the encirclement under the encirclement and suppression of troops several times that of one's own side.

However, if he wants to cross the swamp and return to Leizhou Mansion from the north with this remnant body, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult.

Suddenly, a fine trampling sound came from the darkness.

I saw a man wearing a burqa and a hood slowly walking out of the shadow of the bushes, and stopped in front of Ba Xingtian.

Ba Xing Tianxia consciously wanted to take the sword, but when he stretched out his hand, he realized that his weapon had been abandoned during the breakout process.

The other party sized him up for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Ba Xingtian... General?"

"Exactly." He spat out blood, "Who are you?"

The visitor lifted his hood, revealing his face, "Suzhou Fei's family, Fei Nian."

Ba Xingtian was silent for a long time before he snorted, "I guess you didn't come to save me."

"That's right." Fei Nian nodded, "My task is to ensure that you die in the borderlands."

"Honorful words? Heh... there's no need to be so hypocritical." He let out a long breath, "It turns out that all of this was planned by the Privy Council... I thought that the aristocratic family hated the Privy Council from the bottom of their hearts, but I didn't expect that you would also have trouble in it. When we are together."

"No, the family really hates the Privy Council, and what I did has nothing to do with the Fei family. As for you..." Fei Nian paused, "You are the guardian of the Privy Council, and should be respected. It's a pity that your existence has hindered On our way forward, your persistence can't keep up with the evolution of the times, so there is such a disgraceful scene."

"If I still have the strength, I will definitely tear your mouth in half!" Ba Xingtian spat in disdain, the overly intense emotion made him cough violently, and he finally calmed down before panting heavily. ,"What are you waiting for?"

"Do you have anything you want me to tell you or something that you have unfulfilled wishes?" Fei Nian pulled out the long sword at his waist, "As long as it is within my power..."

Hearing this, a figure suddenly appeared in Ba Xingtian's mind.

He almost tried his best to press the name back to the bottom of his heart.

Finally he sneered, "General Zuo will not be safe and sound?"

"Of course he will soon follow your path."

"In that case, I have nothing to say."

Fei Nian nodded, "Everything will end quickly, I promise." When he finished speaking, a faint blue flame suddenly appeared on the blade of his sword—then he raised the sword and swung it down.

With a flash of sword light, Ba Xingtian's hot blood wet the roots of the tree.

……

It should be over there, right?

Zuo'an looked at the border of Qi State on the map with anxiety - he knew that the trap he had set up must not be leaked out, so the last line of defense preventing Ba Xingtian from returning to Leizhou Mansion was most of the troops he led.

A night of waiting made him sleepless all night, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until dawn broke in the sky.

Sure enough, no matter how brave Ba Xingtian is, it is impossible to break through the blockade ten times his own with 2000 people. No one came from the west for a whole day, which only shows that this army was completely wiped out in Baixi. Lake area.

"Clean up the barracks and let the ministries prepare to go home." Zuo'an ordered.

"Yes!"

Then he rolled up the map and looked at Eunuch Liu beside him, "Is that all right?"

"You've done a good job, General. Your Highness will reward you." Eunuch clasped his hands.

Zuo An walked out of the big tent after returning the ceremony.

Without Ba Xingtian, he is undoubtedly the only one who has the final say on the Leizhou frontier army.This is both a great temptation and a daunting responsibility.To be honest, without the instruction of His Royal Highness, he didn't want to send his colleagues to a dead end. After all, with Fudo Myokami in charge, the pressure on Leizhou Mansion would be much lighter.

But he also secretly heard that His Majesty's physical condition is not optimistic, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may be on the Great Treasure at any time.He didn't want to give the other party an impression of ignorance at this time.

The lesser of two evils.

What's more, His Royal Highness also has his own considerations.

"General, the sentry found a cavalry approaching us from the west!" Suddenly, a soldier stepped forward and reported.

"What, cavalry?" Zuo'an was startled at first, and then flew into a rage, "Where did the high-country frontier army get the cavalry? Who is the reporter? Are you blind!"

As for the Ba Xingtian troops that he is most worried about, it is even more impossible.

But the soldiers showed hesitation, "The opponent's attire does not seem to be the troops of the Gao Kingdom."

The more he said the more absurd, Zuoan pushed the opponent away, rushed directly to the nearest bamboo and wooden sentry tower in the camp, and looked westward with his forehead.

He saw smoke and dust billowing on the horizon, and countless black shadows swooped down from the hillside, entering his field of vision.Regardless of the momentum or the speed of movement, it is indeed not something that soldiers can do with their legs.

When the other party got close, Zuo An couldn't believe his eyes.

Almost all the opposing cavalry were wearing black armor, with longbows and quiveres hanging from their backs, and a crescent-shaped scimitar on the head of a long spear in their hands.This equipment was undoubtedly Xu Guo's elite cavalry. If he remembered correctly, the unique cavalry was made by the public loser, and it was called the half-moon sickle.
