Chapter 607 Running Really Fast
Nangong Jin had doubts in his heart. The national strength of Southern Xinjiang was not as strong as that of Northern Yi. If he really agreed to it, not only would he not get any benefits, but he might also get into trouble.
But if we don't agree, the Northern Barbarians will definitely cooperate with Gao Luo, and Southern Xinjiang will also be isolated.
Now Xiyue Lei is suppressing them by using his status as a powerful country. When he attacks Anyang, I am afraid that I will not be able to eat shit before it is hot.
But Barag is definitely not holding back anything good,
There are wolves in front and tigers behind. Joining forces with him is indeed the best choice.
It would be better to agree first and act according to the situation. Once we have conquered Anyang, we can find a chance to get the Anyang Princess...
Thinking of this, Nangong Jin pretended to be sincere and grasped Barhu's hands.
"General Ba, we are now tied to the same rope. If we suffer together, we will suffer together. If we prosper together, we will prosper together. After this is accomplished, you Beiyi people must not do anything treacherous."
Barhu laughed heartily twice, "Don't worry, Brother Nangong, as long as we work together, after the success, our two countries will share Princess Anyang, and together we will prosper the people and secure the country."
"Yes, let us work together to build a prosperous nation!"
They appear to be sincere and affectionate on the surface, but in fact they have their own calculations in their hearts.
Just when the two were about to hug each other excitedly, they suddenly heard a burst of rapid horse hooves coming from far away.
Looking up, I saw Xiyuelei galloping on his horse with disheveled hair and a panicked look on his face.
Barahu couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw this. "How powerful was the thunder to have struck Xiyue Lei into this state?"
"Yeah, he must have been so frightened that he is in such a miserable state." Nangong Jin also grinned.
As he was speaking, Xiyue Lei had already come closer.
Barhu raised his eyebrows, pretending to be confused, and said loudly, "Brother Xiyue, what's wrong with you?"
"Yeah, how come your helmet is gone too?" Nangong Jin couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he saw him in such a mess, but he quickly pursed his lips, suppressing the smile that was about to overflow from his words.
Xi Yuelei grabbed the reins and jumped off the horse. He covered his chest with his hands and took a long time to recover. "Maybe I ran too fast and lost my helmet."
Barag almost laughed out loud when he heard this. He asked knowingly, "Brother Xiyue, why did you come back by yourself? Could it be that you were ambushed again and all your 50,000 elite infantrymen were killed?"
Xi Yuelei regretted it deeply. If he had known that he would encounter such a disaster, he would have said nothing about competing with Gao Lizhu for the vanguard.
If that happens, the casualties will be those of Gaoluo.
Now, before the battle even started, he had already lost more than half of the Xiyue Iron Cavalry and more than 40,000 elite infantry.
Haste often backfires.
Only by constantly reflecting and preparing for the future can we be invincible.
It seems that it is better not to try to be so stubborn in the future.
"Not all of them were killed, but almost all of them were." Xiyue Lei shook his head and sighed, "My Xiyue Army was tragically attacked by a thunderbolt, suffering heavy casualties. There are less than a few thousand people left, and we are on our way back."
"Where is Gao Lizhu? Did he die on the battlefield for his country?" Nangong Jin stretched his neck and looked into the distance.
"Yeah, where is Gao Lizhu?" Barhu's heart tightened. Before the official attack on Anyang, the ally lost a general. This was a very bad omen.
Xi Yuelei waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Gao Lizhu is unharmed and should be back soon."
As soon as the words fell, Gao Lizhu galloped up to the front and jumped off the horse, "Oh my God, Brother Xiyue, your escape speed is really amazing. I only saw you scurry away and didn't even see your horse's butt. My yellow horse was almost exhausted to the point of vomiting blood."
After hearing this, Barag couldn't help laughing out loud, "Brother Gao, you really don't know what's good. Even if your yellow horse had eight legs, it couldn't catch up with Brother Xiyue. The horse he rides on is a red rabbit rouge horse that can travel a thousand miles a day and eight hundred miles a night, and can cross rivers and climb mountains as if it were flat ground."
"So that's what happened. I said it ran faster than a rabbit. It turns out to be the legendary Red Hare, a divine escape horse!" Gao Lizhu's words were full of sarcasm.
Nangong Jin couldn't even straighten his back from laughing.
Xiyue Lei felt that he had been frightened and fled, which was indeed a loss of dignity. In order to save face, he scolded Gao Lizhu harshly.
"How dare you come back? My West Moon Army was just struck by a thunderbolt. It would have been fine if you didn't go to rescue us, but you actually watched the excitement from the rear. What are your intentions? Do you want to see my West Moon Army annihilated by the thunderbolt? Only then will you be happy, right?"
Gao Lizhu was stunned. "Brother Xiyue, what's the point of saying that? I was the one who came up with the brilliant plan to defeat the enemy, using livestock to safely pass through the horse pit. But in order to be the vanguard, you asked me to guard the rear, repeatedly instructing me not to move without your orders. Now that you've been punished by heaven and struck by lightning, you're blaming me. You shouldn't bully me like that."
As he spoke, he looked at Nangong Jin and Barhu, "Brothers, you were there at the time. Can you please judge for yourself? Was it Brother Xiyue who always rushed to be the vanguard and prevented us from making any rash moves?"
Nangong Jin nodded repeatedly, "Brother Gao is right, that's exactly what happened."
Barag echoed, "Brother Xiyue, Gao Lizhu cannot be blamed for this. If it were me, I wouldn't act rashly without your order. So, from now on, our four countries must share weal and woe, advance and retreat together. You fight, I protect, fighting side by side, advancing and retreating together, this is the best thing to do!"
"Alright, stop talking about this nonsense." Xi Yuelei glared impatiently, "If you have the time, you should think about how to attack Anyang!"
"This is the most important thing." Barhu nodded in agreement. He was curious, "Brother Xiyue, then quickly tell me, what on earth was that 'clang clang' thunder just now?"
"Go back to the tent and drink some water first, I will tell you in detail." After Xi Yuelei said this, he walked into the central military tent.
Several people followed closely behind him. After they sat down, Xi Yuelei picked up the teapot on the table and drank it in one gulp. Then he told the story of the horrifying scene just now.
"You have no idea how powerful that thunderbolt was. It raged like a raging wave, blazing fire shot up into the sky, and filled the air with blood and gore. My 50,000 elite Xiyue infantrymen were shattered into pieces, their bodies flying everywhere. With such a powerful thunderbolt blocking the way, it would be almost impossible to capture Anyang!"
Barhu frowned, his face full of confusion. "Brother Xiyue, can you describe the situation in detail? Was your army really struck by lightning, or did they fall into someone else's trap?"
Hearing this question, Xiyue Lei suddenly came back to his senses. Seeing corpses flying all over the sky, he was almost scared to death and didn't even have time to ask the soldiers rushing in front.
He shouted outside the tent, "Anyone who is still alive and breathing, come in and die."
