Chapter 0044 Escape
There were bursts of sharp whistling sounds, and countless rockets fell on the dry grass. Thick smoke and flames suddenly rose from the dry grass. Some places began to burn with raging fires, and the smoke instantly enveloped Yuwen Tianbao and his 1,000 cavalrymen. There were bursts of pungent smells in the thick smoke.
Yuwen Tianbao felt dizzy and could not see his surroundings clearly. He was panicked. If the enemy was in front of him, he would have the confidence to fight him to the death. But the enemy was not in front of him. There was only endless thick smoke. The strange smell in the smoke made him panic.
"Retreat, we've fallen into a trap, retreat quickly." Yuwen Tianbao was no longer thinking about fighting the enemy at this time, but was thinking about how to escape from here. He knew that behind the thick smoke, there might be an enemy attack.
"Shoot." A series of sharp whistling sounds came to my ears.
"Ah! Retreat! Retreat quickly." Bursts of screams were heard from the chaotic army. The Sui army became even more panicked. They turned their horses around and wanted to escape from this damn place. Some people began to attack their own people. As long as they could escape with their lives, they would just hack and kill without caring who was in front of them.
"Don't let Yuwen Tianbao run away. Don't let Yuwen Chengdu run away." Suddenly a voice was heard from the chaotic army, and countless war horses rushed in. On the horses, the soldiers covered their faces with wet cloth, barely covering up the strange smell in the thick fog.
Li Yu charged forward with a broadsword in hand, waving the Great Xia Dragon Bird in his hand, killing an enemy in front of him, and soon rushed into the thick smoke. There was a flash of light in his tiger eyes, and his two war horses passed each other. Seeing that the man in front of him had no cloth on his face, he immediately knew that the other party was an enemy. He raised the Great Xia Dragon Bird in his hand, and the knife flashed, and he saw the other party killed.
It just so happened that at this moment, the armor on the Qihuo Army under Li Yu and the army under Yuwen Tianbao were the same, with no difference at all. If there was a little difference, it was probably that the Qihuo Army's breastplate was black, but it was impossible to see clearly in the thick smoke. What could be seen clearly was whether there was a wet cloth covering .
The well-planned Beggar Army could easily find their allies in the chaos, but it was different for the Sui Army. They were in chaos and could not distinguish them clearly. By the time they reacted, many of them had already been killed.
"Li Yu, you damn guy, come out." Yuwen Tianbao's eyes were red, and he swung the phoenix-wing gilded bell in his hand repeatedly without caring whether there were his own people or the Qihuo Army around him. He did not kill many of the Qihuo Army, but instead killed many of his own people.
"Dang!" Finally, Yuwen Tianbao felt a powerful force coming from his weapon. The force was very familiar, and he immediately knew who was in front of him.
"Li Yu, you finally showed up." Yuwen Tianbao coughed and felt his throat itchy, but his tiger eyes stared at Li Yu in front of him. Under the white cloth, his eyes were like a wild beast, which made people shudder. The Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Knife in his hand blocked the Phoenix Wing Gilded Bell, and the warhorse he was riding was his own Qianli Yellow Horse.
"I've come here to kill you." Li Yu swung the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Sword in his hand towards Yuwen Tianbao. A sharp whistle sounded from the sword, bringing with it a huge force, and it hit the Phoenix Wing Gold-plated Bell hard.
"Bang!" Yuwen Tianbao raised the weapon in his hand without hesitation, making a loud noise. The surrounding soldiers felt their eardrums vibrating, and they became annoyed and hid aside.
"What strength." Li Yu could not help but admire the opponent's bravery. The last time he was able to defeat Yuwen Tianbao, it was because Yuwen Tianbao was caught off guard. He did not expect that there would be a fierce general like Li Yu among the rebels. This time, he mustered up his spirit and prepared to fight Li Yu to the death.
Unfortunately, he miscalculated. Li Yu had set an ambush here. This primitive gunpowder had little killing power, but the thick smoke it produced made people dizzy and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
"You are not bad, but don't think you can beat me with a little trick. Today I will let you see how powerful I, Yuwen Chengdu, am." Yuwen Tianbao suppressed the discomfort in his heart and used the weapons in his hands to smash, stab, block, and cut.
It has to be said that it is not without reason that Yuwen Tianbao is known as the most powerful general in the world. He has been immersed in the art of Phoenix-wing Gilded Bell for more than ten years. The weapon in his hand is like a part of his body, and he wields it very skillfully, and each time he strikes, he hits Li Yu's vital parts.
Compared to Li Yu, his martial arts was much worse. The only thing that could compete with him was strength. The moves of the big knife in his hand were heavy and fierce. No matter how they changed, there were only eight kinds of moves: sweep, chop, poke, cut, pluck, hold, chop and thrust. He used basic sword techniques, and occasionally the sword techniques taught by Li Zixiong would appear.
Li Yu was calm. Even when facing Yuwen Tianbao, he did not show any fear and fought calmly. He did not pay any attention to the shouts and calls around him. It was not an easy thing to fight against someone like Yuwen Tianbao. Such an opportunity was very rare and would play a big role in honing his swordsmanship.
At this time, the thick smoke gradually dissipated, and the surrounding situation gradually became clear. The ground was littered with corpses, some from the Sui army and some from the Qihuo army. However, it was obvious that very few people from the Qihuo army died in the battle.
"Don't let Yuwen Chengdu run away, don't let Yuwen Tianbao run away." A cry of killing was heard in the distance, and then a strong man was seen running towards them with a hammer in his hand. There were countless shadows behind him, as if there were countless troops and horses .
"Yuwen Tianbao, you have already lost." Li Yu laughed. He once again defeated Yuwen Tianbao's cavalry with minimal losses, dealing a heavy blow to the other side.
"Hmph!" Yuwen Tianbao's handsome face was distorted, his eyes flashing with viciousness, he stared at Li Yu murderously, but the weapon in his hand did not fall, instead he smashed towards Li Yu fiercely.
Li Yu raised the sword in his hand and collided with the opponent's. There was no tricks at all. Both sides used their greatest strength. The only sound left in the whole valley was the clanging of metal.
"Li Yu, your victory is unfair." Suddenly, Yuwen Tianbao put away the phoenix-wing gilded bell in his hand and turned away.
At this time, there were still remnants of the Sui army fighting in the valley. Li Yu did not expect that Yuwen Tianbao would escape in this situation. He even ignored the remaining Sui army and did not react at once. They could only watch Yuwen Tianbao escape alone.
"General, I will go after him." Pang Jue showed a trace of shame on his face. It was he who let Yuwen Tianbao go.
"No need. This man is brave and a tiger. He will fight even if trapped. If we kill him by force, many of our brothers will be killed or injured. What's more, Yuwen Tianbao, who is alone on horseback, does not pose any threat. Let's surrender!" Li Yu resisted the temptation in his heart. Killing Yuwen Tianbao would increase his reputation, but at the same time, the Qihuo Army would suffer losses, which would be disadvantageous to the Qihuo Army.
