494 Chapter 497
Shen Mu smiled wryly, "The truth is so cruel, what does Lao Ba think?"

Ba Fenghan cast his eyes on Wuming who was flying higher and higher, and said casually: "I have never felt that death is so close and inescapable. Even when facing Bi Xuan, I didn't feel this way. Frankly speaking, I enjoyed it very much. This feeling and pressure of death. Brother! Should Wuming be called down, it has left the protection range of my shooting moon bow."

Shen Mu smiled and said, "Since we are determined to die, we must die beautifully."

Then screamed and called Wuming back.

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking wind, and six black dots rose behind a mountain peak in the southwest, rapidly expanding and flying to them. It was unexpectedly raised by the Tang army to deal with the unknown six-headed vultures.

The three of them reacted naturally and drew the three bows of stabbing the sun, shooting the moon and Tuomu respectively, and the arrows were on the string.

Wuming felt the danger instinctively. He hovered towards the place where the three of them were standing and glides down sharply. He slid nearly fifty feet from a height of more than one hundred feet above their heads.

At this time, the six vultures aimed at Wuming without any scruples, and they were only more than 20 feet away from Wuming. They flapped their wings and accelerated, as fast as an arrow.

With the sound of the bowstring, three powerful arrows pierced through the void, took advantage of the unknown and continued to slide, and shot at the vicious vultures attacking in groups on its head.

The eagle hissed, and the three eagles were killed by arrows at the same time, and fell into the abyss between the two mountains. The other three eagles flew away in surprise, and before the three of them had a chance to shoot the second arrow, they fled desperately and disappeared behind the mountains in an instant.

Nameless returned to Shen Mu's shoulder.

Shen Mu retracted the sun-piercing bow, and said with lingering fear: "What's going on here?"

Xu Ziling said: "Li Shimin should be nearby."

Ba Fenghan shook his head and said: "Li Shimin and the others are outside the mountainous area, this trip was just an accident. This kind of vulture from the prairie is fierce and active, and the breeder must let them forage for themselves every day to maintain their viciousness. They were not instructed to attack Wuming, but because falcons were the targets they were trained to attack since they were young, so they would attack Wuming spontaneously when they saw Wuming."

Shen Mu caressed Wuming lightly, breathed out and said, "It doesn't take much effort to scream, if you can shoot the other three heads down, that would be great."

Ba Fenghan said: "How can the world go as expected, only three of the six vultures will fly back, how will the enemy react?"

Shen Mu said: "Of course I know that we met us. Logically, Kang Jianli should send out a falcon to see where we are. The falcon can safely scout the enemy at a high altitude where the arrows cannot reach. Kang Jianli will not miss this good opportunity. "

Ba Fenghan said: "This may be the only chance for us to get rid of the opponent's falcon before we leave the mountain, so we don't do it right away."

Shen Mu hurriedly took out the small bottle of venom that Chen Laomou gave him, and applied the venom to Wuming's eagle claws.After finishing, Shen Mu happily said to Wuming who was standing on the wrist armor: "Baby, you have been promoted to a higher level, from a falcon to a poisonous hawk, and it is only because you have no choice but to kill your own kind, because this is what war is like. Whoever is ruthless will survive."

Ba Fenghan laughed dumbly and said, "It's so much nonsense."

All three were nervous, and their eyes searched the southwest sky.

Shen Mu was startled and said, "Damn it! Sure enough, Lao Ba guessed the truth."

Under the blue sky and white clouds, a black spot that can only be seen appeared in the sky, circling and flying slowly over the mountains, gradually approaching.

Wuming showed a look of attention, and his eagle eyes were shining brightly, looking at the same kind in the sky.

Ba Fenghan said: "Eagle is aggressive by nature, and will attack other birds of the same kind that enter the airspace where it is located. It is extremely cruel. Usually, it is the nature of expulsion to prevent both of them from losing. Go!"

Shen Mu waited anxiously for a long time, and uttered an attacking eagle word, Wuming fluttered his wings high, and charged obliquely towards the enemy eagle above the three of them.

It was a matter of the life and death of the entire army, the three of them were worried and looked up and held their breath.

The enemy eagle sensed that the danger was approaching, and it was more likely to think that it was an intruder, so it made a sharp spin and flew out to the southwest.Wuming didn't know if it was because he had been locked up for a long time, and he was so angry that he quickly caught up with the enemy eagle, his two claws flew down through the air, and grabbed the enemy eagle's back.

The feathers fluttered, and the enemy eagle neighed, and plunged more than [-] feet down, before fluttering its wings and continuing to fly. Wuming did not take advantage of the momentum to pursue, instead of descending, it hovered in the air showing off its might.

Ba Fenghan couldn't follow the away enemy eagle with his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Fall! Fall! Fall!"

The enemy eagle continued to move away, turning into a small black dot.

Xu Ziling shouted: "Success!"

Shen Mu said dejectedly: "Didn't you see the blood seal your throat? Didn't you scratch the flesh?"

The enemy eagle's abnormal flying posture, in the anticipation and longing of the three, fell more than ten feet, continued to fly for a while, and then began to fall sharply. Everyone could see that the enemy eagle died of poison.

Shen Mu and Ba Fenghan cheered together, jumping for joy.

Xu Ziling sighed: "It should be close to death now, which is much better than before." He added: "How much chance do we have to break through and escape?"

Shen Mu shook his head and said, "No...we will be able to break through and escape, because God is still on our side."

……

In the cloudy western sky, the waning moon hangs like a hooked sickle sword, and one or two dim stars can be seen faintly in the gaps in the clouds. On such a night, the breakout army left the mountainous area and quietly entered from a hidden exit. Enter the sparse forest area northwest of Yique.

Shen Mu took the risk to release Wuming and scouted the situation near and far. He was sure that there was no enemy ambushing nearby, so he ordered to start the arduous journey towards danger.

He divided the breakout army into five armies, and he personally led the [-] vanguard army to the front, and with the assistance of Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling, he took on the heavy responsibility of breaking out of the encirclement and opening the way.

Yang Gongqing, Ma Chang, and Wang Xuanshu's [-] troops were in the middle, taking charge of the overall situation.

The army of two thousand was adjourned, under the command of Ba Yegang, with Bing Yuanzhen as his deputy.

The left and right wing armies each have [-] soldiers, with Shan Xiongxin and Guo Shancai as the main generals.

Their goal is to go straight to the south through the hilly and sparse forest area between Shou'an and Yique.

Wuming returned to Shen Mu's shoulder, Shen Mu rode through the forest and across the field, and said, "Little boy is no better than Li Yuanji, we must be careful."

Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling were silent and did not respond.

The trees gradually thinned out, and the vanguard army arrived at the edge of the dense forest. The wilderness outside the forest was covered with darkness, making people feel heavy.

Shen Mu couldn't help but asked Xu Ziling, "What unusual feeling?"

Xu Ziling reined in his horse and said in a deep voice, "The enemy is outside!"

Ba Fenghan's eyes flashed with divine light, and he said: "We have no way out, we can only rush forward, using the fast to overcome the slow."

Shen Mu nodded and said: "That's it!" Suddenly Shi Potian shouted wildly: "Brothers! Come with me!"

Jiama led out of the forest, followed by Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan, leading a thousand riders, like an angry dragon, throwing away all scruples, and stabbing into the dark wilderness.

The other four armies came out of the forest one after another, the sound of hooves shook the ground, and more than ten thousand riders galloped wildly on the grassland.

Suddenly there was a sound of killing, and torch lights appeared in the front, left and right, and Tang Jun could be vaguely seen all over the mountains and plains, completely blocking the way with an astonishing momentum, and then came to kill them head-on.

Before the three of Shen Mu led the army out of the forest, they had carefully considered various possibilities. For example, the Tang army's warning beacons were everywhere, and the Tang army troops stationed at strategic points outside the mountainous area rushed to intercept them from all directions. Yes, they quickly crossed the grassland, fled to the south, etc., but never thought about the situation in front of them, that is, the enemy had grasped their breakout route, and they were preparing for a head-on attack, and they still couldn't guess that Li Shimin was losing his hunter. How the Eagle Queen mastered their chosen route.

What came to kill them was a cavalry unit with a strength of about ten thousand. The leading general shouted wildly: "I am Wang Junkuo! Shen Mu, you are desperate, and you still don't give up your weapons and surrender?"

Shen Muzao bent his bow and set his arrow, laughed and said, "Don't you think it's too early to speak, General Wang?"

With a sound of "嗖", the powerful arrow left the string and shot straight at Wang Junkuo who was leading the army from a thousand steps away.

Wang Junkuo was calm and unhurried, protecting himself with a shield in his left hand and a spear in his right hand with lightning, hitting the front of the arrow. With the sound of "Dang", Wang Junkuo's tiger's body shook violently, and he finally succeeded in flying the arrow, showing his profound skill and precision. Spear.

More than a dozen master guards from left and right rushed forward immediately, protecting Wang Junkuo's front, the formation was not yet complete, two arrows shot from a long distance by Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling pierced the chests of two of the guards, blood spattered and fell off the horse.

With Wang Junkuo's order, the speed of the vanguard army headed by him slowed down, everyone raised their shields to protect them, and the cavalry on both wings accelerated their sprints, charging from left to right like a pair of giant pincers. Flexible as a god.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Shen Mu thought that if Wang Junkuo insisted on fighting here, he would not be spared if more Tang troops came to help him.Then he issued an order, and the two wings of Shan Xiongxin and Guo Shancai rushed forward immediately to meet the enemy cavalry killed from the left and right.On the other hand, Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan's situation remained the same, like the sharp point of a long sword leading two thousand cavalry, they charged straight at the enemy formation headed by Wang Junkuo.

Arrows filled the sky, and the enemy and us attacked each other with strong bows and arrows from a long distance before the short-hand combat.

The dust kicked up by the horseshoes rolled straight into the night sky, and the roar of the hoofbeats shook the sky and the earth. The soldiers on both sides will immediately engage in a fierce battle, just like an endless slaughterhouse on earth and Shura hell.

Shen Mu, Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan took the lead and blocked most of the arrows for their subordinates. They had no time to shoot arrows. , or picking or brushing, they fend off the strong arrows shot by the enemy cavalry and kill them into the enemy's formation.

The sound of shouting and killing resounded in the sky, and suddenly they were faced with enemies on all three sides who were fighting like wolves and tigers, regardless of their own lives.

Even with Xu Ziling's peace-loving nature and unwillingness to kill, he had no choice in this situation. He poured his true energy into the spear and protected Shen Mu's right wing. People kill.

Ba Fenghan's Stealing Heaven Sword on the left is more ruthless and sharper than anyone else, so that Shen Mu has no worries about left and right, and focuses on the front. Every time the long sword shines with yellow light, someone will fall to the ground in response to the sword.

Wuming, who was originally standing on his right shoulder, flew into the sky in surprise, and Shen Mu had no time to take care of it in the fierce battle of blood and blood.

They didn't know anything about the enemy's deployment, they only knew how to break through the enemy's encirclement with all their strength and head south.

Wang Junkuo did not confront the three of them head-on, avoided the three of them, and led his own soldiers to attack the troops that followed behind them.

The sound of killing reappeared, and the left and right flanks of the enemy and us fought hand-to-hand with each other on horseback.

Ba Fenghan saw that the situation was not good, if Wang Junkuo cut off their forward troops, Yang Gongqing and Ba Yegang's central army and rear army would be cut off at the rear, even if they could break through Then he came to the situation where the army was surrounded and wiped out, and shouted: "Zi Ling and I will kill Wang Junkuo!"

These words were uttered with true energy, drowning out all the sounds of weapons clashing and killing, the enemy's battle was in chaos immediately, everyone thought that Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling were really like taking the head of an enemy general among thousands of troops The ability to search for things.

Shen Mu yelled: "You guys go! Let's see who can stop me!" With a slash of his sword, the charging enemy cavalry was slashed away from the horse's spine by him, and even the man and the weapon were thrown into the distance.

Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling immediately rode back to charge, broke through the bloody path in the enemy's formation, and charged towards Wang Junkuo's place.

Shen Mu shouted wildly: "Brother, follow me!"

The subordinates shouted in unison, determined to fight to the death. Under the leadership of Shen Mu, everyone turned their backs on their backs, broke through the enemy's cavalry in an instant, and rushed to the rear of the enemy's formation like an angry dragon.

Suddenly, the sound of killing in the forest on the left was loud, and a cavalry team of nearly 5000 soldiers, led by Yuchi Jingde, Pang Yu and Changsun Wuji, came to hide the killing, and the momentum was extremely shocking.

At the same time, hooves roared from the rear, and the cavalry of the Tang army all over the mountains and plains came through the forest along the route of the breakout army, watching Ba Yegang's adjourned army sprint.

At this time, Shen Mu led a cavalry team of only over a thousand to rush up to a hilly highland, while Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan led hundreds of cavalry behind them, still fighting endlessly with the enemy cavalry, clearing the way for Yang Gongqing's Chinese army to arrive. The wing armies of the two sides became a melee, chasing each other in the vast hills and grasslands, and the fighting was fierce.

For the first time, Shen Mu had the feeling of being overwhelmed. He had worked so hard and tried his best to escape here. Seeing that he was about to break through, he didn't know that all his hopes were suddenly suppressed by Li Shimin's superior deployment and the wolf-like warriors. Shattered, the whole army was smashed to pieces.

And he is facing two choices, one is to meet Yuchi Jingde's troops that are coming across, the other is to turn around and return to the rear, regroup with his own army and break through.

Shen Mu cheered up and shouted: "Brothers! Come with me!" Then he rode his horse back and returned to the rear.If you want to die, let's die together!

Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling just broke out of the siege, followed by Yang Gongqing and Ma Chang, whose strength was still relatively intact, and the [-] Chinese Army, which was still in formation, suddenly sounded the horn, and Wang Junkuo's cavalry, who were fighting bloody battles with them, dispersed After opening them, they rushed northward like a tide, clearly intending to flank them back and forth with the men and horses of the adjourned army who followed Ba Yegang from the woods. The tactics were flexible and clever.

Shen Mu, Ba and Xu exchanged quick glances, they both knew that Li Shimin was nearby, directing the volley field battle under the dark moon and wind with horns.

All directions were filled with the light of torches, and for a moment it was unclear whether the enemy's deployment was real or not. Wang Junkuo's army's change of target immediately exposed them to Yuchi Jingde, Changsun Wuji and Pang Yu, who were attacking from the west. Under the impact of the Tang army led.

Shen Mu made a decisive decision and shouted wildly: "Xiaoling and Laoba will escort Yang Gong's troops to break through, and the rest of the brothers will follow me." Just like that, he led more than a thousand men, passed through the ranks of the Chinese army, and killed Ruo Wang Junkuo's cavalry by the tail. go.

He knew in his heart that the two wing armies were finished and became the target of the enemy.

Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling agreed in unison, and led thousands of cavalry to leave the central army to meet the enemy coming from the west.

Yang Gongqing and Ma Chang's Chinese army continued to march forward. This group of people are all soldiers who have followed Yang Gongqing for many years. In front, protect the people and horses, urge the riders at full speed, and look south to charge and kill.

The sound of killing was deafening. Ba Yegang's original intention was to resist the enemy chasing from the rear. Seeing Shen Mu returning to the division, he hurriedly changed his mind and left the enemy behind to charge forward. Wang Junkuo's cavalry was at a disadvantage. .

Shen Mu was ahead and forced the enemy to start a head-on confrontation. The enemy had no generals to fight against. He took advantage of the momentum to attack, and even cut melons and vegetables. In a blink of an eye, he joined Ba Yegang's adjourned army.

Shen Mu yelled wildly, and went back to his division to kill south, then he split the enemy into two, led Ba Yegang's three thousand adjourned army, broke through the siege, and turned towards Yang Gongqing and Ma Chang from the central army to the forward. The troops of the army chased after him.

On the other hand, Yang Gongqing and Ma Chang's central army ran across a small hill and encountered a huge enemy army. Li Shimin's commander-in-chief appeared on a high hill in front of him, and nearly [-] Tang troops lined up horizontally, all of them were mobile A very strong cavalry, with a strong military capacity.

Li Shimin, surrounded by more than a dozen generals including Li Shentong, Luo Shixin, Shi Wanbao, Liu Dewei, Li Junxian, Liang Shi, etc., sat firmly on horseback and issued orders. Kill them, don't allow them any room to breathe.

The enemy is waiting for work at ease, and their strength is far superior to them. They indeed have the momentum to crush them in one fell swoop. Yang Gongqing and Ma Chang are in a bad situation. , break through the enemy line first, and flee to the dense forest area on the east bank of Luoshui five miles to the west. That is their only way of life.

Fortunately, Shen Mu and Ba Yegang led more than 500 cavalry at this time, plus more than [-] remaining soldiers from the two wing troops of Shan Xiongxin and Bing Yuanzhen, a total of [-] cavalry came from behind. Tang Jun broke up and joined Yang Gongqing and Ma Chang's troops, looking westward one after the other.

The trumpets sounded again, and Li Shimin's entire army mobilized. With the cooperation of the two cavalry troops, the Xuanjia elite soldiers rushed all over the mountains and plains, and cut the breakout army in two at once. Yang Gongqing and Ma Chang's troops continued to look west. Breaking through, Shen Mu's troops were intercepted and attacked fiercely.

The war finally reached a decisive moment.
