Chapter 485 A Strange Combination of Circumstances~! (Five Thousand Words)

The impact of the re-flow of the Seluguna River is far from over. It can be said that Tang En's unintentional move just to get rid of it this time has invisibly harmed someone again, and this time it is complete. Digging into death...

Downstream, several hundred kilometers away.

Here, there is also a group of people fleeing in embarrassment. However, compared to the more than a thousand barbarian warriors who retreated before, there are now less than a hundred in this team.

"Huh..." Angelos let out a long breath of white air, causing the white snowflakes in front of his nose to fall to the side. As soon as he touched the ground, he was trampled into filthy black water by the animal skin boots passing by.

Seeing the short and tragic ending of this snowflake, the veteran commander's eyes drooped slightly, his gray face became darker, and he couldn't help but feel the sadness of a hero's end.

"It's only been a dozen days on the run...it seems like I'm really getting old..."

As soon as the thought came to mind, the wrinkled old face looked even more frail. Then he took a deep breath and shook his head. This veteran who had gone through decades of bloody battles on the battlefield was refreshed, and his old face regained its determination as if it were shining through the light of day.

He turned around and asked, "Where are we now?"

"Uh, Marshal." More than ten days of continuous fighting, escaping, then fighting, and then escaping again... the cycle continued, making the low-level barbarian officer next to him equally depressed. He was stunned for a moment before he cheered up. He replied, "Ahead is the Seluguna River. The river has already frozen at this time, so we can go directly there."

"Oh." After thinking for a moment, Angelos nodded thoughtfully.

After hesitating for a moment, the low-level barbarian officer asked: "Marshal, do we... still want to move forward?"

Angelos frowned slightly when he heard this and glanced at the man. The latter lowered his head and was speechless.

As mentioned before, Anshuai is the god of war who the barbarian tribes rely on as their pillar. But now that they have been on the run for more than ten days, the confidence of the hundreds of barbarians who followed them to escape is gradually decreasing. The demon-like Zi Yi behind was so terrifying that she didn't give them any hope at all!

Just like now, although there is no figure of the other party in sight. But around them, Zichen soldiers covered them tightly like a big sheet, not allowing them to turn or change lanes, nor allow them to send out any news of distress. But along the way, small tribes, barbarian gathering places, etc. within a radius of dozens of kilometers were all slaughtered by the opponent!

This feeling... It's like there is an airtight piece of silk around, and behind it is a silk-spinning spider with eight claws entangled. It is very patient and is not in a hurry to strangle, but just slowly, slowly ...When they were trapped in the depths and exhausted, they opened their cold teeth!

"Keep going." Angelos ordered without hesitation, then paused briefly and narrowed his old eyes, "But after we pass, you can bring some people to cut through the ice on the river."

"Huh?" The low-ranking officer was stunned when he heard this, and then his face showed joy, "The marshal wants to cut off the retreat and block the opponent's progress..."

After waving his hand, Angelos still looked majestic: "As long as you know, go and prepare."

"yes!"

Seeing the low-ranking officer accept the order and leave happily, Angelos' majestic expression relaxed instantly, and there was a bitterness in the corner of his mouth. It's not that easy to get rid of Ziyi, these are just trails.

Besides, even if this low-level barbarian officer can cut through the ice in time, the current of the Seliu Guna River is still and cannot cause impact, and there are still large areas of ice around it. We can't expect a mere hundred people to break through the ice covering hundreds of kilometers around them in a short period of time... So Ziyi and the others only need to take a detour and are basically unaffected.

However, although this is the reality, in order to boost the morale of his men, Angelos will naturally not point it out.

He turned his head and looked back, and all he could see was the violent storm and snow in the sky. Angelos narrowed his eyes slightly, with a sinister look on his face... Ziyi, Ziyi, after crossing the Seluguna River, there were large tribes of various ethnic groups in front of them. Humph, once you get there, you will never want to return to Bran!

…………

This is the truth. The so-called strategy can be divided into two types: clever conspiracy and conspiracy. Angelos has been on the battlefield throughout his life and defeated countless enemies with his tactics. He is naturally deeply immersed in this path.

The so-called clever plots often take the wrong direction and are unexpected. Once successful, you can obtain extremely fruitful results at the minimum cost. Just like Angelos had been planning for more than ten years, he placed a secret child named Ralph next to Zi Yi. From a grand strategic perspective, all Angelos did was to send an undercover agent. This tactic was undoubtedly useless. But this old-fashioned calculation, after more than ten years of silent planning, is the winner of the battle!

Of course, what is directly proportional to the huge results achieved is the risk and unpredictability that come with Qimu. From the current point of view, Angelos's plan that had been planned for more than ten years was undoubtedly a failure. Not only did he fail to get rid of the biggest obstacle to the Northern Wilderness's hegemony in one fell swoop, he also failed to set the tone for victory. Instead, he got himself involved, and ended up in the embarrassing ending of running away thousands of miles.

But to be honest, victory and defeat are commonplace, and the failure of the strategy is more or less acceptable to the experienced coach Angelos. The current situation is different from before. On the one hand, he had to lead his remaining soldiers to retreat into the hinterland of the Northern Wilderness while being hunted. On the other hand, he came to catch up with the intention of seducing Ziyi.

For such a plan, Angelos believed that Ziyi would be able to see through it. But in Angelos' view, whether it was to rectify the tragic destruction of Xiongguan City or to kill him, the biggest enemy of Bran's army, Zi Yi could not give up the pursuit at this time. In other words, Zi Yi will definitely follow him into the hinterland of the Northern Wilderness!

And when that time comes, regardless of whether Angelos is still alive or not, Zi Yi will never think of leaving here alive... This is an upright and irresistible conspiracy!

"I've been fighting for decades. It's worth it to trade my frail old body for Zi Yi's life..." I walked hard on the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, silently calculating in my heart what would happen next. The gain and loss of the plan, Angelos finally nodded, thinking this way.

However, what happened next turned this veteran coach who had experienced countless battlefields into stone...

Wow…

Water, a river that keeps flowing. The falling snowflakes first touched the water, blended in instantly, and then sang happily and rolled all the way to the west.

They say a happy atmosphere resonates best, but that is certainly not the case now. On the shore, more than a hundred barbarian statues stood stupidly, looking at the rushing river in front of them, silently, for a long time...

After a while, Angelos' body suddenly began to tremble. He looked at the Seluguna River that shouldn't be flowing, then raised his head with difficulty to look at the gloomy sky, filled with wind and snow, and sighed, "Heaven is going to kill me..." As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes, raised his head and fell down.

boom……

"Uh..." "Marshal..."

A series of exclamations rang out, and the barbarians around him came to their senses and quickly helped the old marshal up. First, shake it a few times, and then sprinkle it with ice-cold river water. After a lot of work, Angelos finally opened his eyes again.

As soon as he woke up, Angelos quickly pushed away the soldiers beside him and looked at the rushing river again. His despair gradually emerged: "It's really flowing... why is this..."

The low-ranking barbarian officer shook his head in despair: "I don't know, Marshal, the Seluguna River is really flowing!"

As people from the Northern Wilderness, all the barbarians naturally know that except for two or three specific months, the Seliuguna River is frozen in other seasons. This has been the case for hundreds of years. But now the bloody fact in front of them is constantly being told to them. Yes, they read it right, the water in this river is indeed moving!

In this case, things become complicated. Now, not only can Angelos and the others not be able to pass directly, but they will also be blocked here, unable to advance or retreat. They can only wait to be surrounded by the pursuers behind them and be slowly slaughtered!

Struggling to get up, Angelos pushed aside the support of a few people around him and walked to the shore trembling slightly. His military armor now looked very bleak.

"Marshal!" The low-level barbarian officer's eyes turned red when he saw this, and he couldn't bear to call out.

Waving his hand, Angelos turned around, his old folds twitching slightly, he looked around at the hundreds of barbarians and said calmly: "Chasing behind us are Zi Yi and Zi Chen's Ninth Army, with more than 20,000 people, carrying weapons similar to those of the Thunder God. Hammer's light and heavy weapons have extremely amazing combat effectiveness. It is recommended that when we learn their location, we should not act rashly. When we gather a hundred thousand troops, we can quickly surround and strangle them at any cost! If the opponent escapes, the rear army must tightly entangle them until they come again. Gather 50,000 troops, surround and strangle them from the front! This tactic continues until you see Ziyi's body! Well, do you remember it? No? It doesn't matter, I'll say it again..."

The same words were repeated again. Seeing all the barbarians nodding in confusion, Angelos took a deep breath and spoke again: "Okay! This is my last order! Now, you jump into the river immediately, no matter where you swim. On the other side, you should float down to the shore along the current. You all must live for me, at least one of you must live! Then convey the words I just asked you to remember to the Great Wilderness Imperial City."

After a pause, he waved his hand and said, "That's it. Let's go now!"

"Uh... what about you, Marshal?" Although he was shocked when he heard this, the junior officer was sensitive enough to hear other meanings in Angelos' words.

"Me? Haha, I'm old." Shaking his head, Angelos laughed at himself with a calm face, "If I go into the river, I will definitely die. Besides... Haha, after so many years of dealing with each other, Ziyi must also You won’t be stingy about having a drink with me one last time. Well, it’s a pretty good treatment.”

"No!" The low-ranking officer was shocked when he heard this, and took a step forward excitedly, "We are willing to fight the marshal again for the last time."

All the barbarians raised their iron rods together, with ferocious expressions, and roared loudly: "I am willing to fight the marshal for the last time!" In an instant, an iron-blooded killing atmosphere filled the surrounding area.

Everyone knows that in the current situation, anyone who stays will definitely die. And if you jump into the river... the barbarians are not iron men, and they are ordinary barbarians without the assistance of special powers such as fighting spirit. With the current level of ice cold in the lake, even if the barbarians who are accustomed to the cold jump in, they are unlikely to be able to withstand it. . But as Angelos said implicitly, there are more than a hundred barbarians here, and even if you try your luck, you should be able to find a few survivors. At least it is a thought...

"Get out!" With a roar, Angelos did not give these loyal warriors a good look. On the contrary, his expression became even more stern, "Stupid, do you think we still have a chance to make a comeback now? If everyone dies here,** What's the point of Zi Yi going so far? Who will avenge us?"

After a pause, he pointed to the river, and the battle-hardened commander showed his decisive killing power, with a fierce voice, "Now, get out of here right away!"

"yes!"

When the barbarians heard this, their bodies trembled and they responded in unison. Then he lowered his head slightly and saluted Angelos with the highest courtesy in the Northern Wilderness. Then he silently walked to the edge of the rushing Seluguna River and jumped down without any hesitation.

Plop... Plop...

The waves splashed everywhere, and the sound of continuous falling water was heard. Within a moment, more than a hundred barbarians all jumped down. And when they emerged from the river with ferocious expressions and roars, the rapid river had already carried them more than ten meters away, and the figure of the old commander was almost invisible in the wind and snow.

This scene was extremely tragic and tragic. With such strong water, it was basically impossible for these barbarians to reach the far shore. In order to avoid the pursuers surrounding them on both sides, they had to stay in the water for at least dozens of kilometers. Regardless of whether they were frozen to death by then, even if some were lucky enough to survive, how would they have the strength to climb up the river bank at that time?

Everything can only be left to fate or their wild god to decide!

At this time, besides Angelos, there was another figure on the shore, which was the low-level barbarian officer from before.

Seeing Marshal An's eyes turning, the junior officers looked at each other without fear and said decisively: "Marshal, there are enough people to convey the message, and I am not missing one. We can't let you face tens of thousands of enemies alone. Jun, so please allow me to accompany you on this last journey!"

After opening his mouth and lowering his waving arm, Angelos nodded slightly and sighed: "That's all, since you want to stay, then just stay."

After saying that, he slowly walked towards the river and leaned on his chest, holding up the cold water to wash away the dirt on his face and armor caused by running away for days. The old commander also has the pride of the old commander. Even if he knew that he would die if he went there, he would not allow himself to face the biggest opponent in his life with such a desperate deserter attitude!

Upon seeing this, the junior officer hurriedly stepped forward to help him. Angelos' self-deprecation before was still reasonable. If he slipped and fell into the cold lake, his life would really be over. at this time,

"Uh..." The junior officer looked startled, and then suddenly turned pale with fright. He stared straight at a place on the water in front of him and stammered, "Yuan, Marshal, you, you, you... look!"

If this barbarian could stay and die generously, he would naturally not be too courageous. Hearing such a fearful and uneasy tone, Angelos raised his head in confusion, and then his eyes froze. A few meters in front of him, under the water, a black shadow was approaching quickly.

Suddenly, wow...

Water splashed everywhere, and a head with a mess of water plants suddenly appeared: "Fake! I'm suffocated to death... eh?"

The scene fell into silence for an instant, and the sound of running water seemed to be ignored. The mysterious man suddenly appeared under the water, Angelos and the low-level officers on the shore. The two sides looked at each other with big eyes staring at each other from a distance of less than one meter.

Immediately, "Bran bastard!" roared violently, and the low-level officer confirmed that the guy in front of him was from Bran. Without thinking, he swung the iron rod and whizzed down on the opponent's head.

"Nah..." The person who just emerged was extremely depressed. He finally came out of the water to take a breath, but he was about to be hit in the head. Who did this **** offend? He shrunk his head and disappeared from the water in an instant.

Bang...the iron rod hit directly into the river, causing a huge splash. His line of sight was blocked, and before the low-level barbarian officer could see clearly whether he had hit the target, there was a sudden strong tug on the iron rod under the water.

"Get down here!" Unprepared, the low-ranking officer leaned forward and crashed into the icy cold water.

From both sides being stunned to the barbarian falling into the water, it just happened in an instant. When Angelos came back to his senses, the figure of the officer under his command had completely disappeared above the river, and he hurriedly retreated. At this time, wow, a figure jumped up with splashes of water, and the blade disappeared in a flash, "You are not the same." What a good thing!”

Pfft... Angelos, as the supreme coach of the barbarians, certainly has some strength, but after all, he is old and frail, plus he has been on the run day and night for more than ten days, so his reaction is naturally slower, and before he can parry, he After doing it, my heart already hurts!

Kick, kick, kick... After taking a few steps back, Angelos fell back to the ground with a look of death, his palm subconsciously covering the hole in his left chest, his face full of confusion. I am dead? I died so inexplicably? I haven’t officially met Zi Yi; I haven’t ridiculed him to his face as the military god of Bran, but he has no regard for the life and death of his country’s civilians; I haven’t told him righteously that Bran will eventually be occupied by the Northern Wasteland, because I brought him A large number of Northern Wilderness officers who are good at fighting have emerged, but his brilliance is so bright that it completely eclipses Officer Bran's future; I haven't yet...

Deep unwillingness, deep disbelief! But the blood that kept pouring out of his heart made Angelos, a veteran who had spent his entire life on the battlefield with outstanding military exploits, increasingly confused and confused. When he was dying, he could only vaguely see a foot that seemed to be stepping on him...

Bang, bang, bang... The last image in Angelos's sight was correct. The figure jumping out of the river was jumping up and stepping on his body. While stepping on it, he pointed tremblingly and cursed quite angrily.

"Oh, you're crazy!"

"This damn world doesn't give normal people like us a way to survive, does it?"

"I'm a fucking killer, do you know killer? When I go crazy, I'm even scared of myself. I didn't mess with you, but you still dare to mess with me? I'm... …”
