The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1524 Barbarians Appear

380,000 combat soldiers and 100,000 auxiliary soldiers formed a continuous camp. Under the illumination of torches in the dark night, the whole camp was swaying and in chaos.

The neighing of horses, the rolling of wheels, the shouting of officers, and even mixed with bursts of light shouts.

Fang Yun rode a horse to patrol the guards and kept giving orders.

"Quick! Don't use the tents anymore, throw them all away!"

"Take your weapons with you. This is a retreat, not an escape! Even if it is an escape, soldiers should keep a weapon. We can't choose how to live, but we can choose how to die!"

"Don't throw away the dry food! It's still a distance from Zhucheng. Bring at least three days of rations to avoid accidents!"

In the gap between giving orders, Fang Yun contacted the generals of the Pearl River Army not far away with a eloquent voice. Even though many generals did not listen to his orders, they all answered slightly.

Fang Yun deliberately asked some words to stabilize the morale of the army. Soon, the entire Zhujiang Army stabilized and prepared to leave in an orderly manner.

Not long after, the Lumen Army also stabilized. The two armies turned around and headed towards Zhucheng.

"Run forward!" The old and steady voice of Lumen Hou spread throughout the city.

Fang Yun heard this voice and realized that the crisis was more serious than he had originally imagined. It was a pity that he could not take off now, otherwise he would definitely see whether there were enemies in the distance.

Then, Lumen Hou issued an order, the Lumen Army was in the front, and the rear army of the Zhujiang Army was ordered to follow.

Under the starry night, the army ran fast, and the land within a radius of dozens of miles seemed to be constantly rolled by a huge millstone, and the dust was flying.

These soldiers were blessed by the marching poems, and their bodies were much stronger than ordinary people. They ran very fast.

"This place is about 300 miles away from Zhujiang City. These soldiers can run 20 miles an hour. With the rest time, we can return to Zhucheng in at most 12 hours." Fang Yun rode on the horse and looked around calmly.

Fang Yun glanced at the front of the army. There were many people at the place where the flags of the Lumen Army were densest, but Lumen Hou was nowhere to be seen.

"Hmph..." Fang Yun snorted coldly. Lumen Hou had clearly discovered the problem, but he did not tell the specific situation. He did not care about the lives of 210,000 Zhujiang Army soldiers at all. Once an accident happened, the entire Zhujiang Army would inevitably fall into chaos, while the Lumen Army, which had been prepared, could deal with it calmly.

When it was dark and late at night, murderous intent arose in his heart.

Fang Yun looked up at Wenquxing in the middle of the sky.

Wenquxing is close to Shengyuan Continent, so Wenquxing in Shengyuan Continent is like a small moon, and from the perspective of Confucius Wenjie, Wenquxing is only brighter than the North Star, far less than the moon.

Time passed slowly, as if an invisible big hand had uncovered the night sky, layer by layer, making the night gradually lighter, from black to blue.

When the sky was the first ray of fish belly white, Lumen Hou's voice spread over the army again.

"The barbarians are ahead, the whole army is on standby!"

The horn blew long.

Hundreds of thousands of people who were running quickly stopped, picked up their weapons, and prepared for battle.

"I'll be back soon, Su Lun, you command the guards!" Fang Yun said, and he kicked his horse's belly and accelerated forward through the gap between the two teams, wanting to know what happened.

Fang Yun quickly surpassed the front army of the Pearl River Army and arrived at the rear of the Lumen Army. Just as he was about to move forward, the gloomy voice of Lumen Hou exploded in his ears.

"Go back and wait, I will never say another word!"

Fang Yun's blood boiled, and he was furious. He almost questioned Lumen Hou in public, but that was tantamount to giving Lumen Hou a handle, so he reined in his warhorse, transmitted the sound, and secretly contained the power of literary courage, and exploded in Lumen Hou's ears with a louder voice.

"It's true that you are the marshal, but our Zhujiang Army has the right to know! We are not slaves, but soldiers of the Chu State! You must tell us the basic situation, otherwise you are sending the Zhujiang Army to their deaths!"

"Oh? Then I will tell you the basic situation. The barbarians are blocking our way back to Zhucheng ahead..."

Then, Lumen Hou suddenly changed from voice transmission to thunderous words: "The barbarians cut off our retreat. In order to prevent someone in the army from secretly communicating with them, I order to deprive Zhujiang Hou Zhang Longxiang of his military power. If he makes any unusual moves, anyone can be killed on the spot! Su Lun, I order you to keep a close eye on Zhang Longxiang. If he leaves Pingjiang Army, I will treat you as a traitor!"

Many soldiers of the Zhujiang Army were so angry that they didn't expect that Lumen Hou would suppress Zhujiang Hou at such a critical moment.

Former general Wang Li said angrily, "Marquis Lumen, the man who wrote the legendary "Spring View" has made great contributions to the human race, even greater than you, Marquis Lumen. You deprived him of his military power and suspected him of being a traitor at this time. Isn't it a revenge for personal gain?"

Marquis Lumen's voice sounded: "Considering that you have served the country for many years, I will forgive you for disregarding military orders and speaking out of turn. If you dare to disobey military orders again, don't blame me for enforcing military law on the spot!"

"******!" Wang Li suddenly cursed. This time, he did not use the spring thunder of tongue, but all the Jinshi and Hanlin present could hear it, not to mention Marquis Lumen, who was a university scholar.

Former general Zhang Qingfeng gritted his teeth, and his silver-white hair moved lightly in the morning breeze.

Fang Yun sat on the dragon horse, squinting slightly, looking at the dense Lumen Army flags in front of him, turning his horse's head, and turned back to the guards.

The sky was clear, but everyone felt that there was a heavy dark cloud above their heads, making their chests stuffy.

Fang Yun returned to the Royal Guards, and Su Lun said with a sullen face: "My Lord, I am sorry. After all, I am a general of the State of Chu first, and then a general of the Pearl River Army. Of course, if General Zhang says something, it is another matter."

Fang Yun understood clearly that Su Lun meant that he must obey the orders of Marquis Lumen, and would not disobey the orders for himself, but he could disobey them for Zhang Qingfeng.

Fang Yun nodded, said nothing, and returned to the Royal Guards, back to the protection of Pingshan Camp.

There is a cavalry battalion of 1,000 people in the Royal Guards, which is the most elite in the Royal Guards, and is responsible for protecting Marquis Zhujiang.

Many soldiers of the Pearl River Army cursed in a low voice despite the enemy. In their opinion, Marquis Zhujiang is their own man no matter what.

Fang Yun rode a black dragon horse with a blank expression, but anyone could see the gloomy night sky in his eyes. There was no sun, moon, or stars in that night sky, only thick dark clouds.

Not long after, everyone saw that a dense crowd of barbarians appeared in front of them.

The barbarians, with animal heads and human bodies, lined up in a scattered team and slowly moved forward.

A tiger barbarian was drooling, dripping on his body and soaking a large area of ​​chest hair.

A wolf barbarian had red eyes and was rubbing his teeth with hard bones to make his teeth sharper.

A bull barbarian gently twisted his wrist, turned his neck, and reached out to touch the horns on his head. There were faint traces of dried blood on the horns.

Some of these barbarians were naked and didn't care about the exposed parts. Some wore animal skin coats, but they were messy.

Most of the barbarians didn't have any weapons in their hands. They believed in their minions. Only a few barbarians held a few weapons, all of which were rough hammers or axes, which looked particularly rough but frightening.

No matter how strange these barbarians were, they all had one thing in common: their bodies were full of strength, and their blood was surging around them, and they had strength far beyond that of humans.
