Seeing that this boy would definitely not let Song Zhengben go, Wang Xiongxuan's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent. If the enemy had led everything, Wang Xiongxan would not have become Dou Jiande's number one. General, Wang Xiongxan still understands the principle of breaking when it is necessary. Seeing the look in Wang Xiongxuan's eyes, Xue Wanjun was also shocked, knowing that if this continues, Wang Xiongxan will definitely choose to break up. At that time, no one could please him, and Xue Wanjun immediately shouted: "All I ask for is a way out, let me go, and I will let him go."
Sure enough, when Xue Wanjun said this, the chill in Wang Xiongshu's eyes dissipated a lot. Then, Xue Wanjun began to retreat cautiously. Fortunately, there were more than ten soldiers beside Xue Wanjun who insisted on staying. With them Guarding, even if Xue Wanjun held a fainted Song Zhengben hostage, it would not be difficult to act. However, Wang Xiongxi obviously did not believe what Xue Wanjun said. , dare not relax even a step.
Soon, Xue Wanjun and others had retreated to the secret passage where Xue Wanshu and the others had escaped. This was a cave entrance that was about three or four people wide and as high as one person. Originally, such a large cave entrance should be easily discovered. , but this is also because Xia Jun and Xue Jiajun came in and out one after another just now, so they were so conspicuous. Before that, there were enough covers outside these cave entrances to hide the traces of the cave entrances. The ivy and soil next to the cave entrances are enough to show that Problem.
After arriving at the entrance of the cave, Xue Wanjun glanced at the entrance of the cave with the corner of his eye. There were many torches left along the way, which could completely illuminate the passage inside the cave. Needless to say, Xue Wanshu and the others must have left them for Xue Wanjun. Xue Wanjun He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, turned his head and shouted to Wang Xiong: "Okay, I don't want you to catch up again, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude,"
"Huh," Wang Xiongxi also snorted coldly at Xue Wanjun's words and shouted: "Do you think this is possible? I still said what I said, let Mr. Song go. I, Wang Xiongxi, will do what I said and let you go."
Xue Wanjun hesitated, not because he really believed Wang Xiongxi, but because the situation had become a deadlock. It was impossible for him to let Song Zhengben go first, and the other party would never let him take Song Zhengben away. , and the longer time drags on, the more disadvantageous it becomes for Xue Wanjun. Is he really going to die in this Gaojimo?
At this moment, a soldier next to Xue Wanjun suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashed with a flash of light, and he looked at Xue Wanjun's back. He suddenly raised his left hand and struck Xue Wanjun on the back of the head with his palm. However, Xue Wanjun did not expect that one of his most trusted soldiers would actually attack him. He was completely unprepared and was directly hit in the back of the head. Before he had time to react, he fainted.
Such a sudden change made everyone stunned. Wang Xiongxi reacted the fastest and stepped forward, preparing to save Song Zhengben. But at this moment, the soldier who knocked out Xue Wanjun But he grabbed the long sword with one hand, and took over from Xue Wanjun with the other hand to grab Song Zhengben's collar, put the long sword on Song Zhengben's neck, and shouted angrily: "Don't move, or I'll kill him." Get him, step back, step back for me,"
Wang Xiongshu was still a step too late. Seeing the ferocious look on the soldier's face, he could only retreat helplessly. The other soldiers on both sides were also frightened at first and instinctively wanted to take action, but Hearing this, he was also stunned, and the soldier who captured Song Zhengben immediately shouted angrily: "What are you waiting for? Why don't you take the major general away quickly? I will break up the rear here."
"Old Jiu," after hearing the words of their comrade-in-arms, several other soldiers immediately understood the other party's good intentions. After hesitating for a moment, they finally gritted their teeth, picked up Xue Wanjun, who had fainted on the ground, and went straight to the secret room. Tao rushed over, and the soldier named Lao Jiu pulled Song Zhengben and leaned directly on the rock at the entrance of the cave, using Song Zhengben's body to block the front. When he saw Xue Wanjun left, Wang Xiongshu came again When he wanted to pursue him, he immediately shouted: "Stop, no one is allowed to chase me. This guy is in my hands. As long as our major general leaves, I will let him go. Otherwise, everyone will break up." "
After hearing Lao Jiu's words, Wang Xiong's face changed. After hesitating for a moment, he still motioned for all the Xia Army soldiers behind him to move back. Wang Xiong looked at Lao Jiu with admiration in his eyes and shouted: " Boy, you are indeed loyal and a man. If everyone in the Xue family army had your courage and courage, they would definitely be the strongest army in the world."
Lao Jiu didn't care at all about Wang Xiongshu's praise. What he cared about was the footsteps coming from the secret passage behind him. Hearing the footsteps getting farther and farther, Lao Jiu's face gradually showed relief. look on his face, and at this moment, suddenly, an arrow shot out from Wang Xiongxuan's hand. In the blink of an eye, it passed directly through Wang Xiongxuan's ear, and passed through Song Zhengben's bun, in the middle. Lao Jiu's head suddenly trembled, his eyes widened, and finally he slowly fell to the ground. Song Zhengben's body also fell with Lao Jiu's body, and slowly slid to the ground.
Wang Xiong saw it quickly and immediately rushed forward with his hand to support Song Zhengben. At this time, a person walked out of the Xia Army's formation. It was none other than Gao Yaxian, the general of the Xia Army. Don't look at this Gao Yaxian. His courage was not very good, but he had practiced good archery skills. He had just rushed over from the bottom of the mountain and happened to see this scene. As soon as he took action, he saved Song Zhengben.
After confirming that Song Zhengben was fine, Wang Xiongxi also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he let the Xue brothers go in order to save Song Zhengben, in Wang Xiongxuan's view, it was a very worthwhile thing. Then Wang Xiongxan Thinking again of what he had just been coerced into doing, he immediately yelled angrily: "Chase, chase, I must catch the Xue brothers."
"General Wang, don't worry." Seeing Wang Xiong's drooling look, Gao Yaxian beside him quickly shouted: "Master Ling already knows the situation here. He has sent people to block the exit of the secret passage. Xue My brothers can’t escape, so the top priority is to quickly check if there is any food left on the mountain.”
After Gao Yaxian's reminder, Wang Xiongxi finally reacted and immediately nodded and said: "Yes, yes, this matter is the most important. I have sent people to check the cottage on the mountain. I don't know what the result will be. "Before Xue Wanjun led his people to give way to the mountain road, Wang Xiongxi had already sent people to put out the fire in the mountain stronghold. He didn't know how much of the food and grass was left after being burned by the fire for so long.
At this time, a Xia Army sergeant ran down the mountain quickly, knelt down directly in front of Wang Xiongxi, and shouted to Wang Xiongxi: "General Qi, the fire in the mountain stronghold has been put out. ,"
Hearing the news, Wang Xiongxan and Gao Yaxian couldn't help but become nervous. Wang Xiongxan even stepped forward to pick up the sergeant and shouted loudly: "How is it? How much food and grass are left? Tell me quickly." ,"
"Ah," the sergeant was almost out of breath when Wang Xiongshu said this. Especially when he heard Wang Xiongshu's question, the sergeant also showed hesitation on his face, and it took him a long time before he answered: "General, general, less than 20% of the food and grass are left, and all the weapons and armor are burned out,"
It was all burned. After hearing the sergeant's answer, both Wang Xiongxi and Gao Yaxian turned pale. Wang Xiongxi staggered and took a few steps back. He almost lost his balance and only had 20% of the food left. , that is only enough to maintain the supply of food and grass for all Dou Jiande's troops for one month at most. The problem is that this year's autumn harvest has passed, and all the food and grass harvested this year under Dou Jiande's rule are concentrated here. This month is enough, but it has been What should we do in the ten months next year? There are also those weapons and armors, which are all the weapons and equipment for Dou Jiande's army. In order to save these possessions, Dou Jiande did not know how much manpower and material resources he spent. Now It was completely destroyed.
Thinking of how angry Dou Jiande would be if he told Dou Jiande this news, Wang Xiong gritted his teeth and shook his fist hard, and hummed with a ferocious face: "Kill, you must kill these boys from the Xue family, I want to kill all the boys from the Xue family and let that old ghost Xue Shixiong cut off the heir apparent."
No matter how angry Wang Xiongshu was, in the secret passage, the few soldiers supported Xue Wanjun and soon met up with Xue Wanshu and others who were walking around in front. Seeing that Xue Wanjun had also returned, Xue Wanshu couldn't help but be overjoyed. Not daring to delay any longer, he led nearly two thousand people and rushed directly towards the entrance of the secret passage.
It took nearly half an hour to rush from the secret crossing in Gaojibo to another secret crossing. Seeing that the exit was just ahead, this time the fourth child, Xue Wanche, took the lead, leading hundreds of people to rush forward. After exiting the secret passage, he wanted to explore the reality for his brothers. However, when Xue Wanche rushed out, he didn't even see anyone. The exit of the secret passage was built under a hillside, and on the hillside Next to it is an endless plain.
Soon, Xue Wanshu and others rushed out from the cave entrance. Seeing the scenery outside the cave entrance, Xue Wanshu, who had studied the terrain near Gaojibo, immediately recognized it. This was a plain located northeast of Gaojibo. He had to He said that Sun Anzu, who built this secret tunnel, was indeed amazing. He was able to dig out such a secret tunnel from the foot of Gaojibo Mountain. And according to Dong Kangmai, there was more than one such secret tunnel. However, it was obvious that Sun Anzu had no chance. Use this secret passage, otherwise, he would not be killed by Zhang Jinchen.
