super apocalypse

Chapter 173
In the wilderness, in the mountains, Liu Bei and Tao Qian had just fled in with dozens of remnants of soldiers. Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the shouts of killing came from behind like crazy, but Xiao Lan, who was in golden armor, personally led the troops to chase after him. Coming over, Yaoyao shouted loudly: "Old Tao Qian, Big Ear Liu Bei, today, your journey has come to an end!"

"Ah!" Tao Qian looked at the Taiping army rushing over the mountains and plains, his legs went limp, and he sat down on the ground in fright: "Xuande, the enemy army is overwhelming, what should we do?!"

Panting for breath, Liu Bei looked around, hoping to find a chance to escape, but, as Tao Qian said, the enemy army is overwhelming, so I really don't know what to do?
"Kill, catch that old thief Tao Qian!"

"Don't leave Liu Bei, capture Big-eared Liu Bei alive!"

Under Xiao Lan's command, the elite soldiers of the Taiping Army rushed to the fleeing Liu Bei and the others in the blink of an eye, encircling them, trapping them heavily in the middle.

Xiao Lan's eyes were full of indifference, without the slightest emotion. Seeing that the encirclement was completed, he immediately ordered indifferently: "Take them down."

"Kill!" The Taiping Army soldiers at the front heard the military order, and immediately shot and launched an attack.

Tao Qian and Liu Bei led dozens of officers and soldiers to rise up and resist. Those who were able to escape here with them, the loyalty of these dozens of officers and soldiers is naturally needless to say. They are all legendary loyalists and absolute fans. Even though they were surrounded by heavy siege and faced with being strangled by the Taiping Army, they still desperately defended their lord.

However, loyalty belongs to loyalty, and strength belongs to strength. The gap in strength between the two sides is really too big, and it cannot be made up by mere loyalty. Under the encirclement and suppression of Xiao Lan's army of more than a thousand, these dozens of officers and soldiers soon There were so many dead and wounded, and without the guards, the master's life was naturally in danger.

"Xuande, save me." During the battle, Tao Qian was kicked to the ground by a Taiping soldier, and before he could stand up, he was surrounded by several Taiping soldiers. At that moment, he hurriedly shouted to Liu Bei for help.

At this moment, Liu Bei was struggling to resist the soldiers of the Taiping army rushing towards him with both swords in his hands. He glanced at Tao Qian from the corner of his eye, sighed helplessly, gritted his teeth, and repelled several Taiping soldiers who were approaching. He ran away desperately to the side, leaving Tao Qian alone.

"Xuande..." Seeing Liu Bei give up and run away, Tao Qian couldn't help but let out a desperate cry. Then, before he could react, several Taiping soldiers rushed forward, punching and kicking , severely subdued him.

In this way, Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou who had been a high official in the imperial court for half his life, became a prisoner of the Taiping Army, just like his son Tao Ying.

"Big-eared Liu Bei, it is indeed interesting. Unfortunately, after you meet this commander, your life is at an end. If you want to escape, there is no way!" With a cold snort, Xiao Lan immediately waved his hand and mobilized fifty relatives who were extremely powerful. Wei Jingrui attacked Liu Bei aggressively.

"Damn thieves!" Liu Bei went crazy, waving the swords in his hands, but the Taiping army rushed in like a tide, making it difficult for him to take an inch. During the parry, there were already many loopholes, and he was waiting to be replaced by Xiao Lan's personal guards He couldn't hold on anymore when the elite came on the field.

He was originally weak in limbs due to excessive exhaustion. At this moment, he only felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and the double-pronged sword in his hand was getting heavier and heavier. Naturally, he swung slower and slower. Wei succeeded in sneak attack and slashed his left shoulder with a knife.

"Ugh!" With a muffled groan, Liu Bei almost couldn't bear the pain penetrating to the bone marrow. He swayed from side to side and nearly fell to the ground.

"Hehe, you're quite tough. You really deserve to be the one who can stand up to Lu Bu, who is known as the world's most powerful general!" Seeing Liu Bei, who was still struggling to support himself with blood on his shoulder, the guard who succeeded in the sneak attack couldn't help but praise him .

But then, another black-faced personal guard next to him almost made Liu Bei fall into despair: "Okay, don't talk nonsense with him, the commander mobilized five thousand fine riders to chase Tao Qian and the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang. Can’t make a mistake, the commander-in-chief said, it doesn’t matter whether it’s life or death, if you can’t catch a live one, it’s okay to be a dead one.”

"Ma Wu is right. Judging by his appearance, he doesn't seem to be willing to surrender. He also claims to be a descendant of the royal family. Kill him and dedicate his head to the commander-in-chief!" Hearing this, another tall man The guard immediately raised his sword and shouted, "Brothers, let's go together and kill him!"

Five thousand fine riders, regardless of life or death?Even as an opponent, Liu Bei has to admit that Xiao Lan is indeed a qualified hero now. Looking at the Taiping Army all over the mountains and plains, no matter how ambitious Liu Bei is, he can only sigh at this moment One voice: "My life is over!"

As he expected, things had begun to develop in the worst direction. In just a moment of confusion, Liu Bei was hit with a knife again, this time on his thigh. Liu Bei staggered, and his body went limp. He knelt down directly on the ground.

Ma Wu sneered, took three steps in parallel, came to the front, swung his long knife, and cut Liu Bei's back directly, then raised his hand, aimed at Liu Bei's head, and was about to chop off .

"Thief, don't hurt my elder brother!" At this moment, suddenly, there was a loud shout, like a thunderclap, which shocked everyone into a daze. Come straight to roar.

The two visitors, one with a red face and long beard, and the other with a black face and round eyes, were none other than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Seeing that they were defeated by Dian Wei and Xu Chu, they followed the retreat of Liu Bei and others all the way to this point, but they never thought that Seeing that Ma Wu raised his saber to kill Liu Bei, Zhang Fei hurriedly shouted, and threw a spear in his hand, pointing directly at Ma Wu's vital point.

"Poof—" was the muffled sound of a sharp blade penetrating into his body. The spear pierced through the air, pierced through his chest, and pierced through his body, leaving a hideous wound.

"Ma Wu!" Seeing that his companion was severely injured, the surrounding guards shouted out loudly and supported his body.

"Cough cough..." Ma Wu coughed violently, and then, a mouthful of blood spewed out wildly. The bright red blood instantly dyed the corners of his mouth extremely red, like a burning fire, igniting his life , turned into a red flame, extremely hot.

He gritted his teeth, opened his eyes hard, and looked at the brothers and comrades-in-arms who had been friends with him on weekdays, and at Liu Bei who had joined Guan Yu and Zhang Fei not far away, and was fighting fiercely with the Taiping Army, his face full of blood. Reluctantly said: "I hate, I hate.....I wish I could kill Big Ear Liu Bei...."

"Ma Wu, don't worry, our Taiping Army has [-] troops here. No matter how powerful the three brothers are, there are only three of them. Even if they are exhausted, they can be exhausted to death. If you bear it any longer, I will send someone Send you back to the camp, there are the best military doctors there, and they will definitely be able to save you!" The tall bodyguard's face was red with blood and tears, he tried his best to calm the grief in his heart, and said consolingly.

"Lou Cheng, no... no need, I... I know very well in my heart that this time, I'm afraid I really can't do it, Marshal..." Between the words, the eyes that were already lax and lifeless, came When he saw a resolute figure galloping towards him, he suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"Marshal!" Seeing Xiao Lan approaching on a galloping horse, everyone hastily made way and greeted him respectfully, but there was an unspeakable sadness in their words.

Xiao Lan waved his hand and ignored everyone. He walked straight to Ma Wu and said with concern: "Brother, how are you...?"

"Marshal, you're here, it's great to see you..." Ma Wu seemed to recover a bit, and said with a bit of confusion in his mouth: "I was originally a refugee in Qingzhou, because the gentry invaded the land. , became a refugee, and under the pressure of hunger, I had to bring my wife, children, and children to join the Yellow Turbans, and followed General Xu He to live a life like a robber. I got a lot of land and lived a stable life. I don’t have to be oppressed by noble families anymore. Although I died in the battle today, I have no regrets, Commander, thank you... Thank you..."

The words fell, and the breath was exhausted. Another warrior of the Taiping Army died in battle, shrouded in horse leather...
