The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 348
The situation on Xiao Jingtian's side can be described as a bloody battle. In view of the small number of these mysterious white-clothed soldiers led by Qu You, Xiao Jingtian ordered the 10,000+ soldiers to be divided into groups of thousands of people to take turns to fight, not to defeat the enemy, but to delay enough battles. time.

Qu You, who calmly commanded the Holy Army, was very satisfied with all this, "The so-called Daxing God of War is nothing more than that!"

The white-clothed guard who had been following her respectfully said expressionlessly, "Saint, have you noticed that Xiao Jingtian wants to preserve his strength."

Qu You watched Daxing's army recede like a tide from his horse, and the corner of his mouth curled up in a mocking arc, "He just wants to join Empress Daxing, and I am happy to fulfill him. Bei Qi wants to sit down without a single soldier." It is also impossible to enjoy the benefits."

When night fell that night, Qu You ordered the Holy Army to stop attacking.

Xiao Jingtian did not dare to relax, but ordered the whole army to slow down and retreat at night.

In the early morning of the next day, Qu You and her holy army no longer took the lead, and Bei Qi's army took their place.

At this time, the morale of the Beiqi soldiers was high. Xiao Jingtian wanted to ignore them and retreat at full speed, but the Beiqi people had already understood their intentions, and they were not in a hurry to pursue them. Rats only know how to flee while holding their heads.

The lieutenant generals of the Northwest Army were furious, and the handover between the two armies was inevitable.

This battle lasted for a day and a night, but neither side got a bargain.

In the early morning of the third day, no matter how the Beiqi people yelled and scolded, Xiao Jingtian remained unmoved, and just ordered the entire army to retreat in an orderly manner.

"Xiao Jingtian is a shrunken tortoise!" Gu Ya is still leading the army today, she suffered a setback at Ning Yuezhao the day before yesterday, now Xiao Jingtian looks a little bit fled, but she calmed down her anger a little.

"General, across the plain ahead is Tongcheng."

Gu Ya's eyes lit up, "Go ahead, save some energy, we will recover Tongcheng together in a while!"

Soon, Xiao Jingtian saw Fang Weitang leading a group of forbidden troops waiting for him in front.

"General, Your Majesty ordered me to wait for you here for a while..." Fang Weitang whispered a few words in Xiao Jingtian's ear.

After Xiao Jingtian finished listening, his brows that were originally furrowed gradually relaxed.

Gu Ya led the soldiers to chase Xiao Jingtian unhurriedly, but she soon discovered that some of Xiao Jingtian's men suddenly turned around and rushed towards them, as if they wanted to fight them.

Gu Ya drew out the long knife at her waist, her eyes showed a fierce look, "Do you want to court death now? I will fulfill you!"

At this time, Xiao Jingtian was no longer retreating as before, he had completely demonstrated the prestige of the famous God of War in the Northwest.

Wherever he passed the long sword, he reaped the lives of the Beiqi soldiers, and the other soldiers in the army also used all their strength to fight the Beiqi army desperately.

It wasn't long before Gu Ya took over Beiqi's army, and because she underestimated the enemy, the troops she brought out quickly fell short.

She could only turn her head to look at Qu You, "Hurry up and help me!"

There was a deep look in Qu You's eyes, and she raised her hand. Instead of letting the Holy Army join the battle to help, she led her troops and disappeared on the battlefield.

"Damn witch!" Gu Ya cursed, waving the long knife in her hand like a wind, as if she wanted to vent all her resentment on the battlefield.

Out of the corner of his eye, Xiao Jingtian saw that Qu You was planning to get away and run away regardless of the rest of Beiqi's soldiers.

"I want to run, but there is no way!"

Xiao Jingtian raised his hand, the soldiers of the Northwest Army no longer wanted to fight, and quickly closed the battle line after beheading the soldiers in front of them with sharp knives.

The pressure on Beiqi's side dropped suddenly, and Gu Ya's eyes were reddened at this moment, and she charged towards Xiao Jingtian all the way on her horse.

At this moment, the archers quickly prepared, and countless rockets swished towards the North Qi army.

In her fury, Gu Ya didn't realize that these feathered arrows were not aimed at her, but shot across her head like a shooting star and shot at Bei Qi's army.Beiqi's soldiers dodged if they could, and if they couldn't dodge, they waved their weapons and shot down the feather arrows. They thought it was over, but after those burning rockets landed, the flames danced a few times, and the flames suddenly exploded.

When the thunderous rumbling sounded everywhere, Gu Ya happened to drive her horse to kill Xiao Jingtian. She turned her head in shock, and saw that her soldiers had already been engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.

The burnt smell was accompanied by the smell of blood, mixed with the screams from Purgatory, which strongly stimulated Gu Ya's five senses.

It turned out that Xiao Jingtian's unhurried retreat for so many days was just to lure them into the game!

Ning Yuezhao rushed to Tongcheng yesterday, and without taking a break, she immediately ordered someone to plant a large number of thunder bombs on the only way they had to go back, exposing the fuses.At that time, Bei Qi thought that he was chasing after the victory, and he would not notice the abnormal situation on the ground at all.

Gu Ya's eyes turned red, and she was about to turn around and fight Xiao Jingtian to the death, but she saw a bright silver light shining from her chest.

Xiao Jingtian's sword had already pierced her chest, and when she turned her head, she happened to see sarcasm written all over that resolute face!
"You..." Gu Ya opened her mouth to scold, but suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The soldiers behind her had fallen into the flames of purgatory, but she seemed to be in an ice cave, the coolness spread from her chest to her limbs, and her life was passing away bit by bit!
The gray line of the grass snake, the veins are thousands of miles away.In the past few days, they thought they had the upper hand, but in fact, they wanted to annihilate their entire army.

Xiao Jingtian withdrew his sword, shook off the blood on the blade, no longer cared about Gu Ya's life, and ordered the army to return to the city.

When Ning Yuezhao on the tower heard the news that the layout was successful and the army had returned safely, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and showed a long-lost smile.

Lu Ji walked half a step behind her, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty has a clever plan. Although this time he retreated to Tongcheng, Beiqi's loss was even more serious."

Ning Yuezhao pursed her lips slightly, looking at the smoke and dust in the distance and the swaying flags.

"I can't retreat!"

-

In the dark forest filled with miasma, Jiang Nian swung his sword to cut through the layers of thorns in front of him, but what made people desperate was that behind the thorns were still trees that could not see the bottom.

They have been trapped in this foggy forest for a day and a night. It is cold and humid here, with tall trees that block out the sky, and they can't even tell whether it is day or night.

Jiang Nian wiped the sweat off his forehead, and a water bag was handed over at the right time. His hand was criss-crossed with bloodstains scraped by thorns and branches.

"Your Highness." Wu Zhiyu's face was stained a few spots, but there was still a smile in his eyes.

Even though the journey was not smooth, none of the imperial guards who followed him complained of bitterness or tiredness.

Jiang Nian reached out to take the water bag, took a few sips, "Have you ever noticed anything unusual about this forest?"

Wu Zhiyu looked around, "It seems that we have come back to the same place again."

A guard stammered: "Could it be a ghost hitting the wall?"

In the dark forest with no way out, after walking for a day and a night, I returned to the original point, which seems to have the meaning of the folklore ghost hitting the wall.

"I never believe in strange things." Jiang Nian shook his head, "This forest is too quiet. If it is in the mountains, there should be animals, but here there are not even birds and insects, which is really unreasonable!"

After Jiang Nian said this, everyone realized something was wrong. It was so quiet that even the sound of leaves falling on the ground could be heard.

But this finding serves no consolation other than to make one more desperate.

Jiang Nian crossed the thorn bushes, walked to the big tree in front of him, and swung his sword to carve a mark on the tree.

"Bring charcoal and cloth."

Immediately, a guard unrolled a roll of white silk in front of him, and handed him a simple pen made of burnt carbon.

Jiang Nian thought for a while, picked up a brush and drew a few strokes on the white silk, and put the white silk in his arms after finishing the painting.

"Walk."

The crowd walked for a while, and another tree appeared in front of them. Jiang Qingnian caressed the scratches on the tree's body, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Nian took out the white silk, drew a few more strokes, and led everyone to move on.

On the way, they couldn't remember how many times they saw exactly the same trees, some of which had nicks on them, and some of them didn't.For those without notches, Jiang Nian would engrave different marks with a sword and mark them on the white silk at the same time.

The miasma in front of him became thicker and thicker, and the light became dimmer.Although everyone had taken anti-miasma poison before entering the forest, they still felt dizzy at this moment.

Jiang Nian walked in the front, and the thorns under his feet tripped him unexpectedly.

"Be careful, Your Highness!"

Wu Zhiyu quickly supported his arm. When he saw Jiang Nian's face, he was startled, "Your Highness, you..."

Jiang Nian pressed Wu Zhiyu's hand on his arm with the other hand, "I just tripped over it."

His voice was as calm as before, but Wu Zhiyu could clearly see that his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his face was so pale that he was not alive.

"Everyone take another pill, and you can go out after walking this distance."

Jiang Nian broke away from Wu Zhiyu's hand, stood firm, and walked forward as usual.

Finally, the miasma ahead became thinner and thinner, the trees became sparser and shorter, and the light became brighter and brighter.

When the familiar scenery of the northwest wilderness appeared in front of them again, everyone felt as if they had passed away. Looking back at the forest that had trapped them for two days, they found that although the forest looked taller than usual, it was still There is no sense of eerie mystery.

"What's going on?" Everyone looked at Jiang Nian in front of him in unison.

Jiang Nian turned his back to them, his eyes fell on the faint city at the end of the field in the distance, and his voice was as calm as ever, "This forest was deliberately planted according to Qimen Dunjia, and it has been more than a hundred years. If you can't step Orientation is correct, then the ending can only be trapped to death."

"No wonder no one has known about the kings of Northern Qi for more than a hundred years!"

"His Royal Highness is really knowledgeable and talented, and he can break through this strange art of armor!"

Facing the compliments from everyone, the always friendly Jiang Nian didn't turn around.While everyone was wondering, his body swayed and he fell down.

"Your Highness!"

　I'm really sorry for everyone yesterday, I couldn't write because of temporary business.
