Valkyrie Returns

Chapter 35

Lv Bu led the way in the yellow sand formation holding the Concentrating Soul Jade. Because he had just explored it just now, Lv Bu knew the range of the yellow sand very well, and he had heard the sound of horseshoes a long time ago, so Tang Qi and the other hidden guards kept secretly Watch out, it's not fast.

The green light of the soul-condensing jade became bigger and bigger as Lu Bu walked around. None of the people present were cultivators of immortality, so they naturally didn't understand that this was a warning from the soul-condensing jade, after all, the master was dying.The wind and sand gradually subsided, and with Lu Bu's eyesight, he could already see the bright light outside the formation. Suddenly, a red lacquered arrow with golden feathers hit Lu Bu's lower body from a strange angle.

Ordinary bows and arrows are generally more powerful the closer they are to the target's head and neck, but this arrow did the opposite and only forced Lu Bu to stop.At this time, if you use lightness kung fu to elevate yourself, you will undoubtedly be unable to avoid it.Fortunately, Lu Bu's martial arts are high enough, and his reaction is fast enough. He immediately made an "iron bridge" and the whole person fell to the ground straight. Covered in cold sweat, before Lu Bu had time to stand up from the ground, he heard Zhang Liao behind him let out a suppressed muffled groan.

This arrow was shot by Xiahou Dun, who had been guarding Guo Jia's side all the time. Guo Jia's original intention was to capture Lu Bu alive and bring him to Luoyang, so he specially let Xiahou Dun avoid the vital point.From the moment Lu Bu and the others started walking out of the formation with the Soul Condensing Jade, Guo Jia noticed something was wrong, and immediately made Xiahou Dun use only twelve Wujin arrows.

This black gold arrow was originally a cow-shaped decoration in front of the Luoyang emperor's imperial court, but it was later favored by Guo Jia, and he specially ordered the forging department to melt it and make it into arrowheads. Due to the scarcity of materials, there were only twelve rounds in total.Although Ugin's material made it impossible for the arrow to be coated with poison, but because of its own overbearing hardness and impact force, it made up for the shortcoming that it could not be killed in one blow.It can be said that people who are hit by this kind of arrow have to endure great pain every second.

Because Wujin was firmly embedded in the flesh, the surrounding meridians could not withstand such a powerful impact and twisted into a ball.Even Zhang Liao, who has experienced many battles, was unconscious from the pain for a while. If it wasn't for the support of the lieutenant at the side, he might have fallen to the ground.This turn of events was troublesome to say the least, but in fact, it was only a blink of an eye. When Lu Bu came to his senses, they had already left the yellow sand formation, surrounded by Cao Wei's elite soldiers in green armor.

Lu Bu turned the palm of his hand and retracted the Soul Condensing Jade into his sleeve. Without holding a weapon, he rushed forward with his bare hands and rushed towards the crowd of Cao Wei soldiers.And Zhang Liao was barely awake because of the sudden brightening of his vision. Because of the severe pain, his straight eyebrows twisted into a weird expression, and he vaguely saw a young scribe in an ice-blue robe standing among Cao Wei's soldiers. With a calm expression, he was still playing with a gold-edged folding fan with a white silk fan in his hand. Under the protection of countless soldiers of Cao Jun, he stood in the battlefield where swords and soldiers intersected, suddenly showing a bit of gorgeousness.

As if aware of Zhang Liao's gaze, the scribe smirked slightly from the corner of his mouth. It was obviously just an extremely faint smile, but it made his handsome side face, which was still a bit alienated, come alive, like a man in the dark night. The epiphyllum that blooms without warning has an irresistible beauty in the illusion.How to say beauty, one point more is too gaudy, one point less will be flat, obviously it is a very ordinary expression, coupled with Guo Jia's ethereal temperament, it becomes just right, making people feel extremely comfortable, It's hard to look away.

Zhang Liao gritted his teeth and looked at it for a while. Just as he was about to speak, the scribe had already opened the folding fan in his hand with a flick of his wrist, and saw two powerful ink characters—Gunxue—condensed on the white silk and satin.Zhang Liao was startled, and immediately understood that these two words were probably written by Cao Cao himself.

"Guo Fengxiao, the military commander under Prime Minister Cao's tent, has heard of General Wenyuan's name for a long time." Guo Jiaxuan bowed slightly, and raised his face again, his face as cold as a pear blossom was already a little more fierce: "Er It is equivalent to the fact that the Han Dynasty does not want to submit to the Prime Minister, but also vainly tries to support the troops on the Xiliang frontier, which is really treasonous, but the Prime Minister has always been benevolent and ordered me to surrender.

Guo Jia was clearly speaking to Zhang Liao's face, but what he mentioned was Lu Bu's name. In just a few words, he used soft and hard words, and inadvertently transferred the trust of Zhang Liao and Lu Bu, but he did not show the truth. How can the scheming not make people frightened.

Before Lu Bu could answer, Zhang Liao had already squeezed out all the little internal energy left in his body, and shouted with all his might, "My sons from Xiliang, is Wen Yuan going back to the city with his brothers this time?" Drinking, it all depends on whether you can clear the way fast enough, and if you delay for a while, I am afraid that the blood loss alone will kill me!"

When the two armies are at war, apart from strategic formations, the most important thing is morale.Zhang Liao thought he was no match for Guo Jia in the military formation, so he had to do something about morale.This time, all the soldiers who followed Zhang Liao to Maoling City were soldiers who had followed him for many years. Knowing that this trip was extremely dangerous, they followed without hesitation.

Zhang Liao led the army for many years, and he was very popular among the soldiers in the army. After all, Lu Bu had a fierce reputation, and ordinary soldiers would not have the courage to look directly at Lu Bu's face, let alone say a word.Instead, they were more familiar with Zhang Liao, who dispatched most of the money, food, horses, supplies and soldiers. Over the years, he had done his duty and never failed to pay the army.This time they were seriously injured in front of their eyes, and the soldiers were already very anxious. Zhang Liao's voice completely inspired the blood and bravery in their bones, and only heard a deafening bang from the army formation, but the sound was unexpected. Neatly: "General, please rest assured, we will fight to the death to the end, and it is our duty to make justice for the general!"

Following this question and answer, the momentum of the Xiliang army was immediately reversed, and each of them fought bravely, fearing that they would be outmatched by others. On the contrary, because Cao Wei's soldiers had been besieging and did not attack, their momentum gradually weakened. There is actually a tendency to decline under him.Guo Jia put the folding fan into his sleeve robe with a serious expression, and was about to change his formation, but a scout suddenly came to report that Zhang Jaw was seriously injured and was recuperating in the Cao Wei camp.

Guo Jia pursed his lips and raised his hand slightly to send someone to call Jin to withdraw the troops: "General Wen Yuan really deserves his reputation, Feng Xiao has been taught this time. It's getting late today, retreat first, and wait until another day to fight again, and then come to learn the general's tricks." Said He didn't procrastinate, and simply withdrew cleanly, but Cao Zhang, who had been standing silently by Guo Jia's left hand, asked unwillingly: "Why didn't the military commander take advantage of the victory to pursue and kill Marquis Wen here? Although Lu Bu is brave, we The army is several times larger than the enemy, but it is not necessarily impossible to win."

"Zhang'er, there is a saying in the art of war that a mourning soldier will win. Could it be that I just forgot what I taught you? This time Zhang Liao was injured, and all Xiliang soldiers have become mourning soldiers. They will escort Zhang Liao back to the city even if they die. Our soldiers A siege does not weaken the fighting spirit. If we can switch to the formation of turtles and snakes that besiege the enemy at this time, we may be able to win after a stalemate, but we will be seriously injured by opening our jaws. We will go out of the city to take revenge, and we will be attacked by the enemy, and we will be exhausted, I am afraid that you and I will never see your father again."

"The military advisor taught me that it's the boy Meng Lang." Guo Jia spoke softly and looked calm, but Cao Zhang was already ashamed, blushing and bowing his head to admit his mistake.

"Let's go, Zhang'er, the tiger skin you hunted in the big camp is still comfortable. Standing on the wind for so long, my bones are frozen stiff." Guo Jia's long fingers covered the silk fan, his eyebrows and eyes Drooping down, the fundus of the eyes is dark, but there is still a light smile on the face, reflecting the red clouds of the setting sun, what a beauty.Cao Zhang looked sideways for a while, then lowered his body slightly: "Father is not here, let the child carry you. If you get sick in Xiliang, I am afraid that the father will take the child's skin in a fit of anger."

Guo Jia looked down at Cao Zhang's tall and straight back, and the smile in his eyes deepened, and he tapped Cao Zhang's head a few times with the handle of his fan: "If you are half obedient in front of the prime minister, why not worry about it?" Until your father likes it."

Cao Zhang was stunned for a moment, and his deep voice was hidden in his throat: "Actually, from the beginning to the end, I only want you to like me alone." Guo Jia didn't know martial arts at all, and Cao Zhang's words were swept away by the clouds in the sky before he could utter them. Since it was not heard at all.
