Chapter 495 Chapter 498

Shen Mu led his men to fight bravely, and then pushed forward inch by inch to the west. The soldiers who followed him fell down continuously, and there were inexhaustible and densely packed enemies all around.

Shan Xiongxin on his left suddenly let out a scream, and rolled to the ground with the fallen horse. It turned out that the horse was injured in many places and lost too much blood, so it couldn't stand it.

Shen Mu groaned in his heart, but he couldn't separate himself, more than a dozen enemy troops immediately surrounded Shan Xiongxin, and with swords, swords, spears and axes, Shan Xiongxin was finished.

Shen Mu saw that he was about to burst into tears, and was furious in his heart. The long sword struck out with lightning, and the enemy cavalry fell to the ground one after another. Shen Mu seemed to have lost his mind. Make a bloody path.

"when!"

The long sword was shaken back by the opponent, and at the same time, there was a sharp pain in his vest, and he naturally developed resistance. The halberd that had hit his vest from behind, slid aside under the impact of his true energy and the shaking of his body. There was a deep bone wound on the shoulder.

Shen Mu woke up.

It's like waking up from one nightmare and realizing you're falling into another.

Surrounded by the ferocious faces of the enemy, under the light of the torch, he was surrounded by the enemy, and there was no one to follow him. Swords, swords, spears, and halberds greeted him in all directions, and he was close to running out of oil. dry situation.

The forest area on the east bank of Luoshui was just a hundred steps away, but there were many enemies in it, how far could he go?
Someone shouted loudly in front: "Shen Mu! You are about to die! Let me cut off your bird's head to receive credit."

The long sword swirled in a circle, blocking the four or five weapons that were coming, and looked at it intently, it was Li Yuanji's confidant general Yu Wenbao, no wonder he was able to block his own sword.And the other party's long spear was hitting him continuously, and it was coming through the air, directly piercing his face.

A thought came to Shen Mu's mind, that he must not die at this moment!When he was about to raise his sword to block the attack, he suddenly felt numbness in his entire right arm. It turned out that someone had slashed at the shoulder blade just now, because his body was too traumatized, and he didn't feel the way he should normally. Qi prevents the enemy's sword from deeply injuring the muscles and bones.

When he told me that my life was over, the opponent's long spear passed by just a few millimeters above his head, and he fell down.The beloved horse Qianlimeng leaned to the left, enemies swarmed all around, and all kinds of weapons attacked him from top to bottom, trying to stab him into meat sauce.

Shen Mu understood that he has been supporting the life of his beloved horse with the art of man and horse as one, so although Qian Limeng was injured in many places, he was still able to survive until this moment. Ai Ma couldn't stand it any longer and was killed on the spot.

He recalled the terrible scene of Shan Xiongxin's tragic death when he fell off his horse earlier, Qianlimeng's cry of grief before his death was like a call from the second world, the flame of hatred ignited in Shen Mu's heart, he pressed his left palm to the ground, and rushed forward with a sound of "mile". Get up, dodge the seven or eight kinds of weapons that are coming down, and move to the belly of Yuwen BMW.

Yu Wenbao was taken aback. Although Shen Mu was covered in blood and was full of scars, he was a centipede, dead but not stiff, let alone the world-renowned young commander Shen Mu?If he was more courageous and tried his best to shoot down regardless of the casualties, he would be able to claim the great merit of killing Shen Mu from Shimin and Yuanji. .

Shen Mu secretly called God to help me, and tried his best to bounce his back to the ground, just clamping the horse's belly with one hand and two feet, and stabbing the horse's butt with a long sword. Hiddenly performing the art of "a man and a horse are one", Yu Wenbao's mount immediately charged forward.

The horse hissed miserably.

Shen Mu woke up from a semi-comatose state and found himself rolling down the slope. Before he could figure out what was going on, his body was suspended in the air again, and he fell sharply downwards, but saw that the end of the slope was actually a precipitous cliff , given his current state of blood loss and weakness, the height of more than ten feet deep is enough to drop him to pieces.

When his heart cried out that he died unjustly, with a sound of "Peng", the water splashed in all directions, and he fell into a turbulent pool of water that he didn't know where. The rushing rapids go.

Shen Mu relaxed his limbs, trying to collect the little remaining qi, and adjusted his breath with luck.

"Pong!"

Shen Mu followed another short waterfall and fell to the bottom pool, the water flow slowed down, Shen Mu opened his eyes and saw that he was still in the dense forest.

At one end of the pool is a small river meandering in the forest, which is very hidden.

Shen Mu floated along the water for more than ten feet, and when his strength regained a little, he climbed to the shore and couldn't move anymore.

The sky is getting brighter.

The long, miserable night is finally over.

……

With one arm around the unconscious Xu Ziling's waist, Ba Fenghan held the Heaven Stealing Sword in his other hand, and flew down from an old tree to the east bank of Luoshui in the darkness before dawn.

The pursuers approached from far away, the light of the torch flickered and moved in the forest, Yang Xuyan burst out laughing, and saw him appearing on top of an old tree, he said with a cold smile: "Brother Ba is really extraordinary, he can Flee here, and I will give you two a happy moment."

Ba Fenghan was secretly proud, he used the cover of the dense forest to confuse the enemy many times, causing Yang Xuyan to find the wrong way, otherwise he would have been chased.

Ba Fenghan used the technique of inner vision, knowing his current state, he is not qualified to fight Yang Xuyan to the death, let alone a large number of pursuers are approaching, he is even less capable of resisting.Haha laughed and said: "I hope brother Yang's water skills are as good as your lightness kung fu!"

Yang Xuyan stood tall on the top of the old tree, pointed his shadow sword at Ba Fenghan on the bank, he laughed dumbly and said: "Little brother, how dare you belittle yourself, Brother Ba, please jump into the water for a try."

At this moment, there was the sound of oars, and a small boat shot out like an arrow from the dark place on the opposite bank.

Ba Fenghan and Yang Xuyan looked at it in astonishment.

A man drove the boat and shouted: "Brother Ba, get on the boat..."

Yang Xuyan yelled, his sword merged into one, he glides down from the top of the tree, and slammed into Ba Fenghan on the bank.

Ba Fenghan yelled: "Brother Xibai came just in time!" He put the sword back into the sheath with his right hand, held Xu Ziling in his left hand, jumped up first, and landed on the small boat that Hou Xibai was driving towards.

Yang Xuyan landed on the shore, watching Xiaozhou quickly look south, his eyes were full of murderous aura, but he couldn't catch up.

……

After Chen Mu adjusted his breath for nearly half an hour, the true qi in his body gradually condensed, returning to the normal three or four success powers, and more than a dozen large and small wounds on his body were almost healed under the magical effect of long qi, but the massive blood loss still made him feel weak. Feel.

But this is not the problem. The problem lies in the serious setback and blow to his confidence and will, the indignation and helplessness in front of witnessing the tragic death of his subordinates one by one, and the anxiety about the uncertainty of the lives and deaths of his brothers, forming a heavy burden that is difficult to relieve.

He moved to the side of the stream, knelt down, and put his head down into the rushing water. After drinking two mouthfuls of water, he raised his head again. Facing his own reflection in the water, he wanted to cry bitterly, but he couldn't help crying. The feeling of tears.

The sun shone down from among the trees, and it was warm on his body, but his heart was as cold as ice and snow.

How did it all start and end?Why did it become like this?

The breakout battle was a complete failure. Li Shimin used clever strategies to destroy his army to pieces.

Since he decided to fight for world hegemony, this was the first time he had the thought of regretting it.If Ba Fenghan, Xu Ziling and the rest of his subordinates were all killed in battle, how would he face this cruel fact?As for the expectations for Song Que, Peng Liang's young commander is both distant and unrealistic at this moment, and he no longer has the energy to take care of it.

The sound of breaking wind rang overhead.

Shen Mu's almost numb nerves reacted immediately, he looked up in amazement, then rushed down to his shoulders, rubbing his beak against his hair to express his intimacy and nostalgia.

The tears that Shen Mu endured so much finally came out of his eyes.

Wuming rushed up and hovered above his head.

Shen Mu's heart trembled secretly, and there was a glimmer of hope again, where did Wuming want to lead him?
……

Under Hou Xibai's control, the small boat sailed towards the south of Luoshui, Xu Ziling was lying on the bow, and Ba Fenghan was trying his best to heal his injuries with true energy.

Hou Xibai asked anxiously, "How is Ziling?"

Ba Fenghan let go of Xu Ziling's hands, stared at the front, and said in a deep voice: "I won't kill Yang Xuyan, I swear I won't be a human being."

Hou Xibai lost his voice and said, "Ziling!"

Ba Fenghan sighed: "Zi Ling's life is not in danger yet, but the internal injuries are extremely serious, and I'm afraid he will never fully recover, and it depends on his good fortune. I hope he can create miracles for himself with his pure and pure Qi."

Hou Xibai was stunned and said, "It's so serious?"

Ba Fenghan said: "Yang Xuyan's black hands are tyrannical and vicious, they invade Ziling's viscera and extraordinary meridians, making it impossible for me to get rid of them. Sigh! How could you come to the rescue at such a critical moment of life and death?"

Hou Xibai said: "I went to Liang to look for you, and I knew you were still in Luoyang, so I rushed over immediately. On the way, I met Shen Luoyan and asked her to tell the situation. It was her arrangement to wait for the opportunity in Luoshui earlier, because It is not appropriate for her to show up, so I will meet you alone."

Ba Fenghan suddenly realized, no wonder Hou Xibai came so timely.

Hou Xibai pondered for a moment, and said, "In the world, there may be a person who can heal Ziling's internal injuries."

Ba Fenghan said happily, "Who?"

Hou Xibai said: "It's Shi Qingxuan. She must have been taught by her mother in medicine, and she has a deep understanding of Shi Zhixuan's magic skills. Only she can treat Ziling's internal injuries. Fortunately, Ziling once told me where she is currently living in seclusion. It's only about ten days away, so I'll send Ziling there right away."

Ba Fenghan said happily: "I will accompany you."

Hou Xibai shook his head and said, "I'm in charge of this matter. Brother Ba has to try to find Shen Mu, and then come and join us."

Ba Fenghan nodded and said: "As long as Shen Mu is not dead, I will definitely find him. Xi Bai is careful in everything, with Yang Xuyan and Li Yuanji as people, I will definitely not let you go."

Hou Xibai laughed and said, "If they want to hurt Ziling, they must first ask my beauty fan."

Ba Fenghan stood up, let out a long roar, and threw it towards the left bank, before disappearing among the trees in an instant.

The drizzle poured down all over the sky. Since the afternoon, the clouds in the sky have accumulated thicker and thicker, covering the sun and covering the sky. At dusk, light raindrops finally fell.

The entire Yiluo Plain was shrouded in vast rain powder, like smoke and mist.The victorious Tang army cleared up the entire battlefield and searched for the enemy's actions, which came to an end at this time, and began to assemble and regroup on the plain southwest of Yique City.

Shen Mu understands better than anyone else that Li Shimin wants to kill Shen Mu before he grows up, and he will never give up.

A large-scale search operation is about to be fully rolled out.

With no name and a heart that was bleeding and hurting, Shen Mu came to the hill where he could overlook the actions of the Tang army, feeling the loneliness of being alone.

If you succeed, you will be a king, if you lose, you will be a bandit.He finally tasted the pain and loss of fiasco.

The raindrops sprinkled on the face, and it was cold.

Suddenly a figure flashed out from the dense forest on the left, he laughed and said, "What a boy! So you really didn't die!"

With a strange cry, Shen Mu threw himself down the hillside, and hugged Ba Fenghan tightly, his eyes filled with tears of joy.

Ba Fenghan sighed, "Zi Ling! Alas! Zi Ling..."

Shen Mu seemed to be killed by lightning, the blood on his face faded, he took three steps back, and said in a trembling voice: "Zi Ling..."

Ba Fenghan smiled wryly and said: "Don't get me wrong, Ziling is still alive. However, he was severely injured by Yang Xuyan with Shi Zhixuan's magic skills and the vicious martial arts in the "Root of the Root of All Laws". Fortunately, Hou Xibai remembered that Shi Qingxuan was there, and she It has become the only hope for Ziling's recovery, and we can only resign ourselves to fate."

Shen Mu was stunned and said, "Hou Xibai?"

After Ba Fenghan told the story, he cast his eyes on Tang Jun in the distance, his eyes immediately became murderous, and he said calmly: "I want Li Shimin to pay back double the humiliation and pain we have suffered."

Knowing that Xu Ziling was still alive, Shen Mu immediately became furious and said, "Boy Li can't kill me, Shen Mu, it's a godsend. In fact, our breakout battle was a total defeat, at least the three of us are still invincible." In fact, Ziling will be fine when he wakes up. Let's go find the brothers Yang Gong, Ma Chang, Wang Xuanshu and Chen Laomou, they should have successfully broken through and escaped." After saying that, he issued an order, and Wuming soared to the sky. Get up, scout far and near.

The two looked up to the sky to observe Wuming's posture, Ba Fenghan said: "If my prediction is correct, Li Shimin is deliberately giving us enough time to pack up the remnants and continue going south, and because he has a waterway, he is not afraid of us flying out of his Between fingers."

Shen Mu nodded in agreement. With Li Shimin's strength, he could have extended the search area to Yique and the mountains south of Shou'an, but he didn't.It was clearly to let Shen Mu and the defeated general join forces, so that it was difficult for him to escape alone, and then sent troops to pursue him, putting Shen Mu to death.

Hooves sounded in the south.

Shen Mu was startled and said: "It should be our people. Seeing Wuming so come to meet, let's go and have a look!"

The two of them spread out their footwork and crossed another hill. Under the wind and rain, they saw Ma Chang and seven or eight of his men running towards them.

When the two meet each other, it seems like a lifetime away.

Ma Chang was far away with tears streaming down his face, and wept bitterly: "Young commander, come with me quickly, Mr. Yang will fail!"

This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, which made the two of them numb and stayed on the spot.

Shen Mu and Ba Fenghan saw Yang Gongqing in a dense forest nearby, he was lying next to an old tree in the forest, his face was ashen ashes, the fatal thing was a strong arrow that entered from the back.

Chen Laomou, Wang Xuanshu, Ba Yegang, and Bing Yuanzhen surrounded him, but they were helpless and helpless.

Shen Mu saw at a glance that Yang Gongqing was dead and his life was in danger.He suppressed his tears, came to Yang Gongqing and knelt down, grabbed his hands, and sent out the vitality of longevity.

Nearly [-] Yang Jiajun, Feiyunwei, and generals from Luoyang dormant in the forest. Everyone is lying or sitting with wounds.

Yang Gongqing's eyelids trembled, and when he finally opened his eyes, seeing Shen Mu, his body trembled slightly, a smile escaped from the corner of his mouth, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Young commander!"

Shen Mu burst into heroic tears.

Ba Fenghan knelt down beside Yang Gongqing, grabbed his right shoulder with his hand, inspected the arrow wound on his back, his expression darkened, he shook his head and was speechless.

Shen Mu suppressed his grief, and said, "Everything is fine!"

Yang Gongqing didn't know if it was affected by Shen Mu's input of true energy, his eyes were focused, a blush was wiped on his face, he grabbed Shen Mu's hands with his backhand, and said: "I knew that the young commander would not have any accidents. Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Shuai perseveres, there will be a day when you go straight to Guanzhong."

Shen Mu knew that he was looking back, and his heart was pierced like a sword. Since the first day he met this famous general who is both a teacher and a friend, he has been caring and caring for him like a loving father, supporting him with all his strength without hesitation, but because of his own Li Shimin's strategy failed to defeat Li Shimin and died. Regret bit his scarred heart like a poisonous snake.

"puff!"

Ma Chang knelt down beside Yang Gongqing, his face was buried in his hands, his whole body twitched, but he tried not to cry out, the other soldiers were all desolate.

Yang Gongqing let go of the hand holding Shen Mu as if he had exhausted all the remaining strength in his life, and he showed the last trace of a smile, and said softly: "Where there is life, there must be death...Young commander..."

Shen Mu was horrified, and put his ear to his trembling mouth, Yang Gongqing said in a barely audible voice, "Kill Li Jiancheng for me."

There was a "drum" in the throat, and he stopped breathing.

In the darkness filled with wind and rain, Shen Mu, Ba Fenghan, Ma Chang, Chen Laomou, Ba Yegang, Bing Yuanzhen and Wang Xuanshu stood on a hill beside the dense forest near Yishui, looking at the three giant ships of the Tang Dynasty. The ship sailed along the Yishui River, looking south and far away, everyone's heart was heavy, and they felt that the road ahead was difficult and gloomy.

Only Shen Mu's eyes were shining, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Yang Gongqing's death dealt him a serious blow!But after Yang Gong died in peace, he immediately recovered, and the death of Yang Gong revived his fighting spirit.

Excluding Xu Ziling, the seven of them are the only remaining seven leaders of the breakout army. Among the Luoyang generals, only Ba Yegang, Bing Yuanzhen and Wang Xuanshu could follow Shen Mu to this place.More than a dozen other generals such as Duan Da, Cui Hongdan, Meng Xiaowen, Shan Xiongxin, Guo Shancai, Zhang Tonger, etc. were all killed on the spot, which shows the tragic situation of the battle and the heavy casualties of the breakout army.

Shen Mu suddenly said: "If we fight against the mountain with our backs, how long can we defend?"

Everyone understood Shen Mu's meaning. Since the enemy had access to water, they could quickly mobilize a large number of troops. No matter where they fled, they would be intercepted by the enemy on their way. Don't say they fled thousands of miles south to Zhongli. They would definitely not be able to break through the pass in Xiangyang. past.

In other words, they have no luck getting away with it.But if you take a risk and fight on the spot, although you will not escape the fate of annihilating the entire army, you will die vigorously.This is everyone's understanding of what Shen Mu said.
