A quarter of an hour later, there was a giant water source and a dense forest.
In this small forest, there are more than 400 corpses of the Yan army scattered in random directions. More than a hundred Jin army cavalry are passing by the corpses one by one to mend their halberds and spears to prevent the enemy from pretending to die. Liu Zhong rode in, looked at Meng Longfu who was sitting next to a stone, his armor like blood-washed armor, and said with a smile: "All the surrounding enemy troops have been cleared, Raptor, our mission is completed."
Meng Longfu shook his head, turned around and jumped on the horse beside him: "The enemy general Gongsun Wulou has escaped. If we don't behead this thief, this battle will not be over. Brothers, follow me!"
Liu Zhong opened his eyes wide: "Raptor, don't be impulsive. The enemy army still has a large number of soldiers and horses in Linqu area, and they may come to rescue at any time. We have less than a thousand cavalry here. Brother Li Min's rear army has not caught up yet. Just now it was After a fierce charge, the enemy was caught off guard and almost slaughtered us all the way. Many of their cavalry were killed by us in the grass before they even had time to mount their horses. But once we got out of the forest, our strength was suddenly exposed. With our few soldiers and horses, if we encounter a large enemy force, we will only die."
Meng Longfu laughed and said, "Fighting requires courage. The enemy army doesn't know our strength. They only left a few hundred people here to protect the witch. If there were a large army, they wouldn't let us succeed. Now it's Gongsun Wulou fled with the witch. Before he could get far, there were only more than two hundred horses following him. We wanted to eat them. It would be easy! This Gongsun Wulou was Nan Yan's favorite and the commander-in-chief this time. That witch has magical powers, and these thieves believe in her!"
As he spoke, he raised the bloody halberd, curled one finger aside, and disarmed the dozen or so prisoners who were trembling. He said in a deep voice: "Although it was only for a moment, it was enough to ask these questions from the mouths of these prisoners." It's okay. I asked separately and got the same reply. Ah Zhong, if I hadn't waited for you to arrive later to remove the sick sheep, dead chickens from the water source, I would have gone after him half a quarter of an hour ago. What if now? If we continue to stand still, I'm afraid they will all run away. As long as we kill Gongsun Wulou and Wu Wu, the morale of the Nanyan army will be severely damaged. I have made up my mind, don't say anything anymore!"
As he spoke, he reined in the horse and roared loudly. The Xueyun colt neighed, its hooves flew, and it immediately rushed out of the dense forest with Menglong Fu. Its speed was as fast as an arrow leaving the string. That’s it.
Zhuge Limin opened his eyes wide: "How is this possible? Raptor, how can he walk so fast? He wasn't that fast when he came."
Liu Zhong also shook his head in disbelief: "Yes, who can catch up with him?"
The two sergeants saluted and said: "Just now, General Meng's war horse seemed to have drank the river water here. We had just persuaded the general that there was a dead sheep in the water, but he said it was okay, saying that the thief's ritual had not been completed. It’s harmless, I even let a few prisoners drink it, and they’re fine now.”
Suddenly, several prisoners roared and jumped up from the ground, singing and dancing. The sergeants on one side shouted loudly: "Sit down, sit down for me, don't move, we won't be polite if you move again!"
"If you don't sit down, I'm going to stab you!"
However, these warning sounds mixed in Xianbei and Chinese were completely ineffective. The jumping prisoners suddenly had strange smiles on their faces, and their singing voices and dancing amplitude became higher and higher. They were so big that they were so frightened that even the other prisoners rolled and crawled to the side, not daring to look directly at these people.
The guarding Jin army sergeants also stepped aside. Although they were still holding their spears, their faces showed timidity. Zhuge Youmin's voice was trembling: "This, this seems to be possessed by an evil spirit. A ghost has taken possession of me." , just follow, just follow that immortal demon..."
Before he finished speaking, all of a sudden, he heard the singing and dancing prisoners shouting a few times. The white foam they had just spat out turned into blood, and they spurted wildly upwards to the sky. Only four or five of them actually formed a huge crowd. There was a bloody mist, and even some pieces of internal organs could be seen among them. The blood mist poured all over these people's bodies and faces, revealing the ultimate terror and weirdness, like evil ghosts. , which is daunting.
Liu Zhong frowned and said sternly: "Everyone retreat, move forward with bows and arrows, prepare..." At this moment, he thought of the terrifying immortal monster he had witnessed under Luoyang City, the kind that penetrated deep into his bones. It was so terrifying that his voice when giving orders trembled.
However, before he could give the order, the prisoners suddenly stopped moving, and even the weird smiles stayed on their faces and became stiff. The wind passing through the forest blew quietly, which was noisy just now. Suddenly, there was silence in the forest. A few bold Jin army sergeants tried to move forward, holding their spears upside down and touching the prisoners standing there with their tail poles, but they fell down in response. , and lay down directly. The blood between his mouth and nose was bleeding, but it was different from the bright red color just now, but turned purple-black. A fishy and unpleasant smell, like rotten corpses accumulated for several years, also penetrated into every room. In one’s nose.
Liu Zhong's eyes lit up: "This is corpse poison. It has nothing to do with the witchcraft ritual. When people drink this stuff, they will first become extremely strong, and then they will lose their strength and die. Just now, General Meng himself drank Have you got this?"
The two sergeants who had answered earlier said quickly: "No, Xueyunju just drank the water unconsciously. General Meng said it was nothing, and there were more than ten war horses who also drank the water because they were too thirsty. But no soldiers drank it themselves."
Liu Zhong gritted his teeth and jumped on the war horse, and said in a deep voice: "Even if the man didn't drink, the horse would be in trouble if he drank. General Meng is in danger now. We have to help him quickly. Brother Youmin, you bring five Ten brothers are here guarding the water source and waiting for Brother Li Min's rear army to arrive, and I will personally go to meet the fierce dragon."
Zhuge Youmin looked at the dust raised by Liu Zhong and hundreds of horses riding away through the forest, and made a military salute: "Be careful!"
Jumi Water, six or seven miles away from the water source, on the river bank beside a barren hill, a single figure in black robe looked coldly at several groups of cavalry running out one after another in the dense forest in the distance. It evoked an evil smile.
Drenched all over, He Lanmin, wearing only the water cushion next to her body, jumped out of the water. Under the action of the water cushion that became close to the skin due to the water immersion, almost every detail of her figure was revealed, and her face The oil paint has been washed away without a trace, and the makeup is as beautiful as a hibiscus. But the black robe did not appreciate the rise of this stunning beauty. He just nodded gently: "Nice job!"
