Chapter 62 The pursuit of the Ice Flame Legion
Dong Zhongying was filled with a chill, which was even more frightening than the ice and snow outside. He walked to the table, found a chair to sit down, and looked at the "trophy" on the floor.
"Guan Hai? Is this what you killed?"
"Yes." I replied.
"I didn't expect that I thought only strategic weapons like the 'Fang Tian Hua Ji' could kill it!" Dong Zhongying quickly glanced at all of us, as if observing our expressions. "I heard that you have formed an alliance with Ding Jianyang?"
"It's not true." Lu Zigan said lightly.
"Ding Jianyang is not a good bird."
"I have no interest in knowing the matter between you. However, I did not form an alliance with him." Lu Zigan said.
"The ones who killed Guan Hai were Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu, but it was not a 'Fang Tian Painting Halberd'." Zhang Yide shouted.
Dong Zhongying looked at us coldly: "We are allies, and I don't want you to form an alliance with others. Especially with my enemies."
"We don't want to be enemies with you." I said, "Your son-in-law Niu Fu was rescued by us, which should be enough to show our sincerity."
"Okay." He stood up, "I hope you can move quickly. There have been many people gathered before Hulao Pass. Everyone is planning a big offensive against the Yellow Turban Army. If you can catch up, it would be better."
"My troops will depart soon," said Lu Zigan. "But, as you can see, they had just fought with the Yellow Turban Army for a night, and they were trapped and needed rest. I hope you can understand."
"Come on after you have enough rest." Dong Zhongying said.
He turned around and said nothing, leaving the living room like this.
After he left, Yuan Jin said, "This kid is not very happy."
"He has reason to be unhappy. He probably knows that we and Ding Jianyang are joining forces to ambush Guan Hai. So he will suddenly arrive tonight." Lu Zi snorted, "But I am not his dog slave, and there is no need to listen to him in everything. I followed his command of everything before. As a result, this rush is running around and there are so many people who have lost it. His people dare to shoot cold guns at us. I have had enough of it! I will cooperate with whoever I want to cooperate with. This unit is under my command, and I am not Dong!"
It is rare to see Lu Zi fucking his temper.
After he calmed down, he ordered everyone to go down and rest. The next day he discussed the matter of entering Hulao Pass.
This ambush battle achieved great results without much effort. Even Lu Zigan said that he won beautifully, especially the star marrow obtained from Guan Hai. According to Sun Zhongmou, it is very valuable for research.
The cook was very kind and made a delicious meal temporarily. Everyone was full of wine and burping on the floor.
The next day, we slept until afternoon, and Lu Zigan called us up and asked everyone to stand by in the conference hall.
This was the last meeting we had before the transfer. He informed the recent situation at the meeting. It turned out that the defensive force arranged by Dong Zhongying on the west side of Hulao Pass suddenly collapsed overnight, and the remaining people also retreated quickly. The one who defeated the defenders on the west side was said to be one of the "three giants" of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Bao.
Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, together with his two younger brothers, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, has laid a large number of troops on the west side of Hulao Pass, including a commander of the Yellow Turban Army named Cheng Yuanzhi. Cheng Yuanzhi led the elite force of the Yellow Turban Army, the Ice Flame Legion. They blocked the roads near Hulao Pass and prevented Dong Zhongying from going to support him.
Therefore, Dong Zhongying's main force in front of Hulao Pass is actually facing the situation of being attacked from both sides - in front of him, the Yellow Turban Army's garrison in Hulao Pass, and behind him is the Ice Flame Legion like a tide.
No wonder Dong Zhongying didn't look good when she first came in. If it were someone else, her face would be bad.
Li Jue and Guo Si's two troops tried to capture Hulao Pass several times, but were beaten to pieces. Only Ma Teng's men barely won several battles. However, they were also defeated as if they were defeated. It is said that the bodies of the soldiers who died almost filled the valley in front of Hulao Pass.
It’s no wonder that Dong Zhongying urged us so urgently to enter Hulao Pass.
Since all the allies came to urge them in person, in order to seize the time, Lu Zigan decided to cross the shortcut to Hulao Pass. This is a steep path, located in the canyon, with peaks on both sides, and easy to be ambushed.
"Isn't it easy to get rid of the entire army?" Yuan Jin said.
"It's not too late. I think it's difficult for us to defend Sishui Pass. According to the information provided by Ding Jianyang, a unit of the Ice Flame Legion has arrived near Sishui Pass, as if to avenge Guan Hai. Ding Jianyang's advance army had a fire with the Ice Flame Legion, but it turned out that no one was powerful. Ding Jianyang fled in the 'Xuanwu' and told me before leaving that the Ice Flame Legion was very powerful. If there was no 'Fang Tian Hua Ji', he might not be able to escape."
"So powerful?! Then let's move quickly!" Gongsun was thinking about running away again when he heard these words.
"I originally wanted you to rest until tomorrow, but after I got this news, I called you up." Lu Zigan said, "The reason why we took the small road is also because of this. Although it is a small road, it is enough for our off-road vehicles to pass through. I heard that the Ice Flame Legion uses heavy vehicles. It is estimated that the narrow roads between the valleys will cause trouble for them. We can just walk the small roads and get rid of them."
Without further ado, we were ready to leave immediately. Everyone was used to emergency transfers, and their luggage was quickly packed. Everyone got into the car.
Less than two hours after leaving Sishui Pass, I heard intermittent explosions coming from the direction of Sishui Pass. It was probably because the Ice Flame Legion arrived and was venting its anger with the building of Sishui Pass.
"These guys came so quickly." Lu Zigan was worried, "I don't know if I can get rid of them."
"It should be possible." Yuan Jin pointed to the valley ahead and said: "After entering the valley, it was a particularly narrow path. Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu's mechas could only be separated from the armor outside and slanted to get through, not to mention the heavy equipment of the Yellow Turban Army. I heard that the mechas of the Ice Flame Legion were much larger than our mechas."
"What if they can fly?" Sun Shangxiang interrupted.
I said, "If they could fly, they would have flew over long ago and would not have left us until now."
The troops entered the valley, and light vehicles were in front of each other, passing through the narrow mountain pass. Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu's mechas were left until the end before entering. However, the mountain pass was still too narrow, and the two mechas could not pass either except for the lower armor. Fortunately, the Gujiao Ghost installed the engineering kit and drove through the mountains smoothly.
Not long after we left the valley, we heard a noisy sound behind it. It seemed that the Ice Flame Legion followed our trail, but the narrow valley brought them a lot of trouble.
