Chapter 521: The Southwest of the Empire! War in the Rain!
Chapter 521
Wang Yan and his son are far less famous than their father Jiu Gong in the Tang Dynasty, but as a general, Wang Yan is well-known as a general in actual combat. His military skills are both offensive and defensive. Although he lacks some flexibility, he is truly impeccable. The army has been besieging the city for so many days, but there has been no harvest. This is the problem.
"Report!"
"Traces found! Between the east and south of the city, there is a large breach in the city wall. There is a gate in the breach, and a large number of mud hoof and horse hoof prints are found below!"
While he was talking, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves, and in the splashing rain, a fine horseman from Uzang rushed over. Before the horse stopped, he rolled over and knelt down. On the ground, the chest rose and fell sharply.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, there was silence all around. Whether it was Huoshu Guizang or Daqin Ruozan, they all fell silent. More than 200,000 troops were divided into four groups and pursued from the four open city gates, but in the end none of them disappeared. The Annan Protectorate actually escaped from a city wall, which no one expected.
There is no doubt that they have been severely tricked!
"Zhang Shouzhi..."
The sound of rain covered the thunder, Daqin Ruozan slowly raised his head, looked at the towering city silhouette not far ahead, and a thought flashed in his mind. Hiding a gate in the solid city wall has nothing to do with war, but the masterpiece of the city architect. It is no secret that the Lion City was built by Zhang Shouzhi, the architect of the Tang Palace.
"Central Plains Datang is really full of talents!"
Daqin Ruozan said with deep emotion. Even as the hostile party, Daqin Ruozan would not admire it. The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty's talents and civilization is indeed not comparable to that of Uzang.
"...Unfortunately, even if this is the case, it is of no use at all. Let them run away for a while, and then be happy for a while, Huoshu Guizang, I will leave the rest to you!"
Huo Shu Guicang just sneered and didn't speak.
The torrential rain really provided the best cover for Annan's Protectorate Army. Even for them, there is no way to grasp the time to break through, not to mention the poor eyesight in the rainstorm. However, if the Annan Protectorate Army thought they could escape so easily, they were really wrong.
"If they stick to the city, maybe they can survive for a few days, but they actually thought of abandoning the city and fleeing,
That was asking for death! Come, blow the horn, call the army! "
Huo Shu Guizang flicked his cloak, and directly broke through the rain.
"Woo!"
Not long after he left, a desolate and loud horn sounded on the Erhai Plain. The sound traveled hundreds of miles. It was completely different from ordinary horns, and even the dense rain could not stop it. And with the resounding sound of this formation, hoofbeats thundered in all directions, and the densely packed Uzang scattered all around once again swarmed.
"Found the trace!"
Half an hour later, following a sound, the atmosphere on the southwest land suddenly changed, and a tense pursuit followed.
...
At the same time, at the other end far away from the Erhai Plain, Wang Chong was also facing another crisis in his life.
"Warning! The host has not arrived at the destination. It is more than a hundred miles away from Lion City!"
"Warning, the host has less than half an hour left!"
"Warning, the trial mission is about to fail!"
"There are still ten kilometers left. The host has not completed the task and is about to be wiped out. The countdown is 50, 49, 48..."
...
Even with the speed of the white-hoofed crow, it is still a difficult task to reach within a hundred miles of the Lion City in a short period of time. The torrential rain also caused a lot of resistance to Wang Chong.
"Must be faster!"
The heavy rain was heavy, and even with Wang Chong's eyesight, it was already impossible to identify the direction in such a storm. The only thing that can be relied on is the scream from the giant eagle in the sky.
"drive!"
Wang Chong clamped his horse's belly, and rushed forward like the wind.
There were streaks of red light in front of his eyes, and all the scenery, including the torrential rain in the sky, brought a layer of flickering blood in Wang Chong's eyes, and the scenery gradually became blurred. Wang Chong knew that this trial task had reached a critical moment, if he could not reach the destination within the stipulated time, what awaited him would be death.
The matter of the Stone of Destiny is still a secret. Except for Wang Chong himself, even the eagle who is close at hand doesn't know why Wang Chong is so desperate.
"40, 39, 38..."
The cold, emotionless voice of the Stone of Destiny kept ringing in his ears. However, Wang Chong remained calm, and his face under the armor did not show any emotional fluctuations. All his attention was focused on the thick blood line in the depths of the storm ahead.
"One hundred kilometers, that red light should be the border. I must get there as soon as possible!"
Countless thoughts flashed through Wang Chong's mind one after another.
The pouring rain roared, and it hit the armor like iron beads. Wang Chong looked at him flawlessly. The halo of Wuzi had been destroyed by him to the extreme. Two steel halos, one inside and one outside, roared endlessly, shaking the surrounding rain continuously. Explode and splash outward. drive! Wang Chong pushed the white-hoofed crow to the extreme.
"Whether Xiaowu can escape this disaster is up to you!"
Wang Chong leaned on the horse's back, patted the white-hoofed crow's neck lightly with his palm and said in a low voice. The torrential rain obscured the vision, and it was gray everywhere. Although Wang Chong could see the red light and the faint boundary, he couldn't judge the distance of the boundary at all. At this moment, everything can only be hoped for by the White-hoofed Crow.
"Yu Yu Yu!"
The war horse neighed as fiercely as a metal stone. The white-hoofed crow seemed to understand Wang Chong's meaning. All the muscles and tendons of the whole body suddenly tightened. Shengsheng grew again, as if his inner potential had been stimulated.
boom!
The horse's hooves galloped, splashing a cloud of rain and waterfalls in the mud. Wang Chong could clearly feel the white-hoofed crow exerting all its strength from the horse's back. Every muscle and every bone of it was bursting with potential. However, Wang Chong's danger has not been lifted.
"15, 14, 13, 12..."
The countdown continued, and the rain did not weaken, but became more intense. In the beginning, Wang Chong could still see the scene ten meters away, but now, he couldn't see clearly at four meters away. This long-awaited heavy rain was much heavier than everyone imagined. In this case, Wang Chong's judgment completely failed.
Without enough references, Wang Chong couldn't even judge whether he was heading east or west. But one day Wang Chong can be sure that the huge red arc in his line of sight is becoming more and more intense. There is no doubt that the distance between oneself and it is getting closer.
"Xiao Wu, I can only rely on you now!"
Wang Chong's whole body tensed, leaning against the ear of the white-hoofed crow, he said softly.
There is nothing he can do at this time. Even with great progress in martial arts, it is impossible for him to run faster than the white-hoofed crow.
"7, 6, 5, 4..."
In just an instant, it suddenly felt extremely long, and every second was stretched into countless fragments. Finally, Wang Chong saw the huge arc-shaped red light, which was already extremely intense. However, judging from the feeling, there are at least fifty meters left.
"That's too late!"
Wang Chong gritted his teeth tightly. Fifty meters is definitely not a long distance, but at this time it has become a terrible thing. Fifty meters, Wang Chong's heart collapsed to the extreme. The speed of the white-hoofed crow has reached the extreme, it cannot go any faster.
"The host is about to be wiped out, countdown, 3, 2, 1..."
Since getting the Stone of Destiny, this was the first time Wang Chong felt the restraining power of the Stone of Destiny. Although it gave itself a chance to be reborn, it also firmly wrapped a rope around its neck.
"Xiaowu, whether you can succeed or not is up to you!"
In the blink of an eye, Wang Chong had no time to think about it, and poured all his strength into the body of the white-hoofed crow that was stepping down.
boom!
In the dark, the white-hoofed crow seemed to feel something too. At the last moment of the countdown to the time of fate, the white-hoofed crow stepped on both hooves, and suddenly rose into the sky, rushing into the void like a shell .
"Xi Yuyu!"
The neighing of the war horse echoed in the entire night sky, and at the last moment when the war horse vacated, a figure flew up and ejected.
At the last moment, Wang Chong exerted all his strength.
Life and death are at stake here!
Wang Chong clenched his fists fiercely, and time and space seemed to be frozen at this moment forever.
"Congratulations to the host, arriving at the destination on time, and canceling the obliteration penalty. The first phase of the task rewards 200 destiny energy points, which will be distributed after the trial is over!"
As if it was only a split second, and as if countless centuries had passed, finally the long-lost voice of the Stone of Destiny resounded in Wang Chong's mind, but it was very different in Wang Chong's ears. Boom, the frozen time resumed its flow, Wang Chong tossed in the air, and fell back on the horse.
"so close!"
Wang Chong let out a long breath, his heart beating violently. At that moment, life and death were at stake, and no one except himself knew that he had escaped from the claws of death for a while.
"Young master!"
A familiar voice was shattered by the wind and rain and came from behind. The eagle rode a green horse and rushed up from behind, looking at Wang Chong with a strange expression. Although the front is indeed urgent, but Wang Chong's behavior just now is too strange. This is really not like a normal rush.
It's more like something happened that I don't know.
"Young master, are you alright?"
Eagle hesitated and said, hesitant to speak.
Wang Chong shook his head. Just as he was about to answer, he heard a high-pitched scream in his ears.
"My lord, we found the enemy ahead..."
The eagle listened attentively, and before he finished speaking, he heard a loud drum sound, boom boom boom! Every sound is extremely loud, as if hitting a person's heart. At the same time, raindrops were blown by the gust of wind, and there were waves of shouts of killing in the distance. The sound of killing was definitely not the voice of one or two people, but more like thousands of people shouting.
In an instant, both Wang Chong and Lao Ying's expressions changed, and there was no need to continue talking.
"follow me!"
Wang Chong waved his hand, and without saying a word, he took the elites of the Black Dragon Gang that Lao Ying and Li Siye had left behind and stationed beside him, braved the heavy rain, and rushed towards the direction where the shouts of killing came from like lightning.
"Woo!"
In the process of running, there were bursts of desolation and the sound of horns in the distance. When dozens of bull horns are lined up in a row, even the rainstorm can't stop it!
It's Uzang's iron cavalry!
Looking around the world, only Uzang uses this unique yak horn as a war horn on a large scale!
