With a pop, an arrow in the wind shot into the chest of the Northern Qi soldier who was also shooting at him with an arrow.
At this moment, the soldier with an arrow in his chest glanced at Xiao Hei unwillingly.
Even this unwilling look could not save him, and a golden flame burned brightly in his chest in just an instant.
In just the blink of an eye, the Northern Qi soldiers who had just crawled out from under the horse were swallowed up.
Xiao Hei did not stop, because he had already seen the iron arrow flying towards his chest.
So he had no choice but to shoot out the iron arrow in his hand again. Either it collided with the enemy's iron arrow in the air, or it flew into the enemy's body.
When Fu Tie is shot at the opponent's body, blazing flames will burn, making it look extremely miserable.
Looking at Qingyu not far away, he was stunned, wondering what kind of monster he had encountered.
If you had shot such a talisman arrow at the Imperial Preceptor of Northern Qi that night, you wouldn't have made yourself crippled, right?
But what Qingyu didn't know was that Xiao Hei really didn't dare to show off his talisman arrow that night because he wasn't sure he could kill the opponent with one arrow.
If Northern Qi's Imperial Preceptor were allowed to escape, then all the efforts he and Qing Yu had made along the way would be in vain.
In order to help Zhou defeat the enemy, and to understand the danger in Danzhou City, he did not hesitate to hide his talisman arrows, just to give him a chance at some point. The Northern Qi army was in for a surprise.
Since Xiao Hei chose to shoot the talisman arrow, no one of the Northern Qi soldiers in front of him could escape.
Because the three guys who turned around and ran away before did not escape from his arrows.
Qingyu looked at the flames burning quietly on the grass, patted the horse gently and walked forward, looking at Xiao Hei and frowning tightly.
Because she was deeply confused, why would Xiao Hei hold back?
After an unknown amount of time, the blazing divine fire gradually extinguished, and Qingyu also rode his horse to the official road to clean up the battlefield.
She couldn't take the sword, so she found a place and buried it in the soil.
The corpses of horses and enemies have been burned to ashes, and can turn into dust when a gust of wind passes by. If another night of spring rain passes, not even a trace will be left.
She looked at the pale ashes on the grass and sighed silently.
At this time, Xiao Hei's face turned pale and he almost fainted and fell off his horse.
The wound on his leg has not healed, and he has been fighting with the enemy again. I am afraid that he will no longer be able to fight the enemy today.
For Qingyu, he has done everything he can.
"Come on, let's get out of here and find a place to rest."
Qingyu got on her horse, glanced at Xiao Hei, and silently led Xiao Hei's horse. The two horses quickly left the wasteland and galloped towards Danzhou City.
Xiao Hei took a deep breath, looked at Qingyu and shouted: "Sister Qingyu, go find a cave in front of me, I want to rest for a while."
Xiao Hei knew that he was getting closer and closer to Beiqi's camp, and if he encountered trouble again, he was afraid that he would no longer be able to fight.
Qingyu looked at him and nodded: "Don't worry, we'll look for him now."
"Stay far away from the official road." Xiao Hei thought that the two of them were too careless before. If they stayed farther away, the Northern Qi soldiers on the official road might also discover them.
"Well, I know!" Qingyu replied.
The two of them rode away quickly, and soon disappeared into the vast wasteland again.
In the Northern Qi military camp, the young general looked at the middle-aged man sitting on the futon, his brows furrowed tightly. He didn't understand who wanted to assassinate the master.
At this time, the Imperial Master was already on the verge of death. In his frightened and angry state, he was not angry because the soldiers of Northern Qi could not catch the murderer.
He was fighting for his own life on a rainy night, and not only was he blind.
And even worse, he would not be able to survive the catastrophe in front of him, and he would die in the vast rainy night.
Even after struggling to escape from the small temple, he met soldiers patrolling the Northern Qi army on the official road after dawn and took him to the camp in front of Danzhou.
Even taking the elixir he had prepared failed to stop the injury from worsening. Finally, after a night of suffering, his cultivation was knocked down to the realm of Nascent Soul.
After sighing, National Preceptor Gao Long smiled bitterly and said: "I never thought I would capsize in the gutter."
Regarding his own experience, even the Imperial Advisor of Northern Qi could only accept his fate and asked calmly: "I wonder if there is any news about those two guys among the troops sent out."
The young general raised his hand and replied: "The outside of Danzhou City is as solid as an iron barrel. We sent dozens of teams to pursue it for two days and it still hasn't disappeared."
Two days have passed, and Gao Long, as a national master, finally understood that he was afraid that he would not be able to find where the murderer who hurt him came from.
After all, both Xiao Hei and Qing Yu were wearing black silk scarves on the rainy night. At most, he only knew that the one who hurt him was a boy, and the one who escaped was a woman.
Gao Long, who was sitting on the futon, looked a little pale and murmured to himself: "Is it possible that they are just monks passing by?"
If the opponent was really just passing by, then he would be wronged.
If we had known this, why would we have to say bad words to offend the other party in the first place, only to have to fight to the death in the end?
No one benefited.
The young general frowned and asked cautiously: "When will we start attacking the city? Master National Preceptor."
Gao Long sighed and said quietly: "Now I have to rest for a few more days to regain some strength. I have been around for so long, so I won't miss it for a few days."
The young general nodded aside, expressing his agreement with the National Preceptor's opinion.
After all, in his opinion, the Danzhou City in front of him has been heavily surrounded by the Northern Qi army. Everything is ready and all he needs is the east wind.
"Right now, we have enough food and supplies, so we don't have to worry about fighting each other here for several more months!"
The young general said seriously: "I guess the opponent's food and grass are running out. How can they fight us?"
National Preceptor Gao Long replied coldly: "Huh! They can only defend like this. We are afraid that if we surround them for another ten days and a half, they will have to surrender without us taking action."
The young general smiled lightly and said: "The national division is still very clever. I bet they can die in battle, but they will not let themselves starve to death in front of us."
What the young general didn't know was that the Imperial Master was actually more anxious than he was.
Only by taking Danzhou City could he return to the imperial city with peace of mind and hide in the deep palace to rest... He was blind and still had consciousness, but he had to find a way to restore his cultivation.
…
After a battle in the southern border of the Five Regions, Xiao Hei understood that food and grass were indispensable materials for war.
The grain and grass of the Northern Qi army were constantly transported to Danzhou City. Along the way, Xiao Hei finally got some useful information.
It is early spring now, a time when food and grass supplies are in short supply.
Therefore, the army surrounding Danzhou did not dare to attack the city easily. If the other party had enough food and grass, they would turn around and drag them to death in front of Danzhou City.
Even the Northern Qi Dynasty could not afford such losses.
The amount of food and grass needed for 100,000 people is extremely terrifying. The Northern Qi Dynasty finally prepared this food and grass, probably waiting for the Imperial Master to personally command the war.
No one could have imagined that in an unexpected encounter, he would actually blind the Northern Qi Imperial Master.
The soldiers and horses of the Northern Qi Dynasty have been marching outside Danzhou City one after another. Now there are at least 100,000 troops outside the city. The army in Danzhou City of Great Zhou Dynasty has been defeated last time.
If you want to consume more than four times the army of the Northern Qi siege, I am afraid it will be powerless.
This was the reason why the Northern Qi army surrounded and refused to attack. It was probably just dragging the opponent to death and waiting for the opponent to use up all the food and grass.
Xiao Hei didn't know what the Northern Qi Imperial Master was thinking. He wanted to race against time, thinking of quickly reaching outside Danzhou City and the Northern Qi military camp to see the situation.
As long as he can cause trouble for the Northern Qi army's food supplies, he will be doing the Queen a huge favor.
Today's Great Zhou needs more time to resolve internal and external troubles. Even if the emperor mobilizes the troops of Great Zhou, it will also take a long time to prepare.
Xiao Hei's brain is not very easy to use, and he doesn't know much about the art of war. His fighting skills were either learned from his brother, or forced out by Watson and himself on the grassland.
Fortunately, back then, he and Watson blocked the supply of food and fodder for the two royal courts on the grassland, and finally blocked the supply of military supplies for the South China Sea Army.
Now it is not difficult for Xiao Hei to repeat his old tricks.
When night fell, Xiao Hei and Qing Yu were less than ten miles away from Danzhou City, and the two of them could even smell a hint of danger in the cool night breeze.
That was the aura of the Northern Qi army. Qingyu told Xiao Hei that the Northern Qi army was stationed in the wasteland five miles outside Danzhou City.
"In this way, wouldn't we be closer to the Northern Qi army?"
Xiaohei leaned on the ground, watching Qingyu cooking porridge aside, and said coldly: "We'll hang out outside the military camp until Haishi."
Qingyu was startled, looked at him in disbelief and asked: "What are we going to do?"
"Go shoot an arrow while it's dark!"
Xiao Hei said quietly: "While the Northern Qi army has not yet begun to attack the city, set a fire first to disrupt their military morale and position."
Xiao Hei believed that as long as the fighting started at night, it would be a fight to the death, and the war would probably not go on.
People can go without food for several days, but horses can't.
Even though it was spring now, the season of green and clear skies, they could not hold up Northern Qi's 100,000 troops. Such a large number of horses was not a small number.
This is either a grassland or the southern Xinjiang grassland back then. Lan didn't dare to let the horses starve in the spring.
Qingyu sighed and said quietly: "If we can burn the food and grass of the Northern Qi army, this battle may not be fought for the time being."
Xiao Hei shook his head, looked at her and said seriously: "That's not what I'm worried about. I'm thinking that if we burn their food and grass, they will definitely go crazy and hunt us down."
"We definitely can't go back the way we came. Sister Qingyu, you should have a map of Northern Qi... to see where we should go after we're done, to be safe."
Li Xiuyuan didn't bother to do something like killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred to himself, and Xiao Hei didn't even know how to do it.
With his legs completely disabled, he had to find a safe escape route for himself. He didn't want to become like the Shenlong Continent, with relentless killers following behind him at all times.
Qingyu thought for a while, and while serving a bowl of porridge to Xiao Hei, she murmured: "It's definitely not possible to go south. They can imagine it with their eyes closed, and it's even more undesirable to go back the same way."
"Then let's go north. Sister Qingyu, let's see which city is further up?"
Xiao Hei took the meat porridge handed over by Qing Yu, blew a breath, and said with a smile: "When we are full, we are going to prepare to run away overnight."
Qingyu sighed, looked at the meat porridge in his bowl and smiled bitterly: "As long as you can burn the food and grass of the Northern Qi army, you can let me accompany you to escape to the Turks."
"Is the Turks a desert?"
Xiao Hei thought for a while and replied: "Brother and Sister Shuzi are here in the desert. Xiao Hei will not go there for the time being. I want to go back to the imperial city to see Qing Qing and Yan'er."
He didn't know when his brother and Shuzi would return to the imperial city, in case they had already gone from Tianshan to the imperial city of Zhou Dynasty.
If you go to the desert with Qingyu, wouldn't you be like a headless fly?
Qingyu thought for a while and smiled: "Then let's go to Xifenzhou. We will change to a carriage there and we won't be conspicuous."
Xiaohei's eyes lit up and he smiled: "Let's go to Xifenzhou."
