Chapter 289 Tuoba Rao is going crazy
The arrow was so powerful that it pierced the chest of the first soldier and then pushed him to knock over the person behind him, nailing the two Beimang soldiers in front and behind together.
"hateful!"
Tuoba Rao picked up his saber and was about to rush out, but was stopped by the big man next to him.
"Marshal, it's getting late, and the forest here is deep and dense. The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. We shouldn't act rashly!"
"So I have to wait to be slaughtered by Pei Heng?"
Pei Heng is Tuoba Rao's nightmare. At this moment, she is already in a state of panic and unable to think calmly.
"Pei Heng is treacherous! He must have calculated we were going to pass through here, so he set up an ambush here! Li Gan! You're more of a hindrance than a help! You bear full responsibility for the loss of my troops this time."
Prince Jing next to her glared back at her fiercely.
"What's the point of saying this now? Fighting our way out is the real thing. As long as we reach Ganzhou, with the support of Gan and Liangzhou, we can make a comeback! At the very least, we've already occupied such a vast territory in the north, so it's not a loss!"
Prince Jing is still dreaming of occupying land and becoming emperor.
"Humph!"
Tuoba Rao snorted coldly.
The Beimang people were fierce and aggressive, but after their initial panic, they gradually calmed down, regrouped, and began to form a battle formation.
As the sun set, the light in the dense forest quickly dimmed, and everything was pitch black. As the sky darkened, the temperature in the forest also dropped rapidly. Soon, a thick fog began to rise.
In the psychedelic dense forest, it was pitch dark.
"not good!"
Tuoba Rao's face changed drastically. Could Pei Heng be a monster? He could even predict the foggy weather. He was going to trap them in the dense forest and kill them all!
As expected, as soon as the thought came to her mind, she heard screams one after another, as if she was in hell. The miserable screams surrounded her in three dimensions, one after another!
"Ignite! Ignite!"
Tuoba Rao roared.
As a burst of fire lit up, the white fog looked even more eerie.
There were corpses everywhere, on the ground, in the trees, and in the air.
Some were lying down, some were hanging upside down, some had their eyes shot through with arrows, some had their necks cut and were still bleeding...
"Pei Heng! You have guts!"
Tuoba Rao went completely crazy. She snatched the torch from her subordinate and threw it into the pile of dead leaves on the ground. The flames shot up high.
"Pei Heng! I'll burn this forest down. Let's see where you can hide!"
Following Tuoba Rao's example, the surrounding areas soon began to catch fire. The blazing flames illuminated the entire forest in a brilliant red and white. Gradually, the surroundings became silent.
It was as if the people who had ambushed and killed them just now were not human beings at all.
"Come out! Come out and kill me!"
Tuoba Rao roared towards the depths of the woods.
With a "puff" sound, an arrow appeared in her chest.
She looked down in disbelief and wanted to rush out with her knife, but the big man next to her picked her up and carried her away, and fled in another direction with the defeated army.
"Marshal, we can't stay here for long. As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!"
In the eerie firelight, the people of Beimang dared not linger any longer.
At this moment, a large group of people emerged from the depths of the dense forest. They were all ragged, with pale, thin faces and unkempt hair. Some of them held sickles, some carried axes, some carried hoes and pickaxes, and some carried simple homemade bows and arrows.
They all stood silently on the periphery, staring at the direction where the Beimang people fled.
At this time, a figure jumped down from a tall tree, pulled out a few arrows from the corpses on the ground, inserted them into the quiver beside him, shook the bow and arrow in his hand, and rushed towards the direction of the Beimang people.
"stop!"
Suddenly, several figures jumped out from behind the man, and the leader threw the man to the ground.
"Can't chase anymore!"
"Why can't I chase her? Let me go! I want to kill her! She was the one who massacred the border town and killed my father! I absolutely cannot let her go today!"
"Aci! Calm down!"
The firelight slowly revealed the faces of two people. They were Su Zhe and Song Ci who had disappeared for a long time.
Su Zhe pinned Song Ci down tightly, snatched the bow and arrow from her hand, and tied her hands up.
"Someone, tie her up."
"Yes!" Several strong men came up and said to Song Ci, "Young Madam, I'm sorry!"
They were the ones Pei Heng had sent to protect Su Zhe.
Song Ci was tied up and thrown to the ground. Still filled with hatred, he struggled desperately on the ground, trying to break free from the restraints.
Su Zhe watched and shook his head. He raised his hand and slapped her on the neck, knocking her unconscious. Only then did he stop.
Holding Song Ci's head, Su Zhe gently placed her on the haystack beside him and said to the two people beside him:
"It appears that Prince Su's army has already crossed the Wei River. The two of you will go to the Nanqi military camp to report the situation and inform His Highness of the whereabouts of the Beimang people."
"Yes! Prince, what about you and your wife?"
"I'll take the villagers to put out the fire first. As for Ah Ci, her wound hasn't fully healed yet. The ordeal just now must have reopened it. I'll treat her first and then bring people to find you."
"Okay!" After receiving the task, the two flew down the mountain and headed straight for the Nanqi military camp.
Su Zhe ordered his men to direct the villagers to put out the fire and clean up the battlefield, while he sat next to Song Ci.
The wound on Song Ci's chest had indeed burst open, and blood had soaked through the entire front of his thin clothes.
He clenched his fists, hesitated for a while, and finally frowned and tore off Song Ci's clothes, cutting open the original strips of cloth, revealing a bloody mess.
Back in the border town, she fought recklessly with others on the city wall in order to snatch the corpse of the Marquis of Zhenbei. She didn't even know how many times she was stabbed and how many holes she had in her body.
Even now, the injury has not healed much.
After the fierce battle just now, everything had to be bandaged again.
"Look at you, you're already half crippled, yet you're still trying to be brave enough to hunt down Tuoba Rao? Do you want to die?"
"If you die, what do you want me to do?"
"It's said that a gentleman's revenge is never too late. Prince Su's army is right on the edge, and killing all the Beimang dogs is just around the corner. Don't worry, I will leave Tuoba Rao's life and Prince Jing's dog head to you!"
Su Zhe said as he bandaged the wound.
Even though he was unconscious, Song Ci's brows were still tightly furrowed.
He stretched out a finger, gently rubbed her frown, and sighed softly.
"Ah Ci, when will you smile again?"
But the only answer he got was the noise of the forest and the crackling of the fire among the dead trees.
I do not know how long it has been.
"Prince, everything is fine."
"it is good."
Su Zhe put Song Ci down and stood up. In front of him was a dense crowd of villagers, each with a dark face looking at him silently. He cleared his throat and said:
"Fellow villagers, you have followed us south and have worked hard on the journey. At the foot of the mountain ahead is the Nanqi military camp led by our Royal Highness Prince Su. I will take you to join His Highness Prince Su."
