Chapter Seventy-Six: Songtao Ridge is iron-clad
Mu Ya's heart is as calm as water, he has not used a sword for many years, the blade of the sword is slightly rusty, and his sword heart is gradually clear, although the blow is not perfect, but what surprises him is that the swordsmanship and martial arts that have been abandoned for many years have reached the level of the seventh stage, if others are dull, I am afraid that they will not be able to reach this realm after more than ten years of hard training, and he can easily get it after several years of training in chopping wood and picking vegetables, even he feels a little embarrassed.
Before the cavalry could see the moves, the five brothers drank blood under the sword of the Xuanpao man, and suddenly everyone was shocked and retreated.
The cavalry captain was also sweating profusely, how could he not know that this amazing sword move had been out of the category of a medium martial artist, and his level of the fifth rank was completely insufficient for the strength of a sword, but the military order was there, how could he retreat?
Just as he was about to order a hundred people to rush and kill him together, Mu Ya's eagle-like eyes were staring at him, and he was horrified in his heart, and hurriedly shouted, "He wants to kill me! β
I saw Mu Ya's shadow blurred, and in just a few seconds, he came to the cavalry captain, put the long sword on his neck, and said, "If you move again, your head will be gone." β
The cavalry captain was in a cold sweat, slowly let go of the hand holding the hilt of the sword, and said urgently, "Heroes spare their lives, heroes spare their lives!" I just obey orders, I am a squad leader, I will take people away, as long as the adults can spare my life, I can do anything. β
He had no power to struggle in front of this Xuan-robed swordsman, he had thought that this mission would be extremely simple, and he would have the right to act by rolling in front of the general, but now he couldn't even think of breaking his head, in this remote and sparsely populated mountain, there was actually a high-class martial artist.
Mu Ya is very disgusted with this kind of person's timid and afraid of death, but he is also glad that he is such a character, if he encounters a loyal and tenacious soldier who desperately slaughters the people here, even if Mu Ya has three heads and six arms, he will not be able to avoid death and injury.
"Fortunately......" Mu Ya's face suddenly changed, and he said, "What about the young man who was besieged by you on the hillside over there, where is he?"
The cavalry captain hurriedly said, "Slow down, hero, don't hurt me by mistake." The man ran fast, and although my brothers and I beat him severely, he took advantage of my inattention to break out of the encirclement and ran towards the area of Wohua Mountain. The hero believes me, he is not dead, where do we dare to kill him, if I know that the man is the person who the adults want to shelter, even if I am given a hundred guts, I will not dare to do it. β
Mu Ya breathed a sigh of relief, and then drank the cavalry captain and said, "Quickly, let your people withdraw, otherwise your head may not be stable." β
"Yes, yes!" the cavalry captain smiled flatteringly, and was about to order his men to retreat, but faintly heard a strong sound of breaking wind ringing in his ears.
"Be careful!" Mu Ya wanted to stop it, but he didn't react, he thought that the arrow was aimed at him, but unexpectedly it was aimed at the back of the cavalry captain, and the blow hit, the cavalry captain fell off his horse, spitting blood foaming at his mouth, and his face was unwilling.
"It's too ruthless!" Mu Ya was already the one who guessed the arrow, but when he saw the one-armed reckless man carrying the white tiger sword riding on horseback and stepping on the dust, he still couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, almost all martial artists who have reached the seventh rank have an ability, and he has a hunch of equal strength opponents, he has a hunch that the strength of the person coming is very strong.
"Those who do not obey military orders, kill!" The reckless man reined in the horse's head, his fierce face was revealed, and in contrast to his broken arm was the strong and well-developed muscles of his right arm, and the thick eyebrows and beard were also quite distinct, but if Jiang Ming was here, he would be able to recognize at a glance, this person was the person who robbed the big knife Guan Huang in Ganyong Village, who robbed Mu Father's threat, and constituted the first battlefield of hatred between Jiang Ming and Hou Fengwang, and was also the direct creator of the growing gap between Jiang Ming and Mu Qinglan.
"It's General Guan Huang under General Zhu!"
"I heard that he is a peak martial artist of the seventh rank, although he has not been in the army for a long time, he is the confidant of General Zhu Gai. β
"But if he killed our captain, it's hard to say whether the boss will blame him. β
"Thinking too much, right? Our captain was able to be regarded as a conspiracy with the thieves just now, but fortunately General Guan stopped it, otherwise our brothers might be finished. Besides, General Guan was originally our superior, and there is such a high martial arts realm that is worth following. β
A group of cavalry was discussing, and after a few minutes, everyone dismounted and lined up, and said to Guan Huang, "Listen to General Guan's orders!"
Since Guan Huang was cut off by Jiang Ming, he fled to the Qin Dynasty in fear of pursuit, relying on a martial art to work under the general Zhu Gai, although he is now prominent, but Zhu Gai is still suspicious of him and refuses to let him lead the soldiers and horses.
The following of these hundreds of cavalry made Guan Huang's eyes brighten, and he suddenly had the pride of occupying the mountain as the king in Ganyong Village, so Lang Ran laughed and said, "Okay, brothers, help me kill all the people here, and I will take you to General Zhu Gai to receive the reward." β
"General Xie Guan!" the cavalry shouted in unison, with great momentum.
Mu Ya's face was cold, and he slowly retreated to the vicinity of the thatched hut, Guan Huang was not as easy to deal with as the previous cavalry captain, and the odds of victory were not great, if there were still these cavalry who were always disturbing the resistance, Mu
The opportunity to win is completely lost.
"Listen, everyone, if we escape, these cavalry will easily catch up, and they will kill us all if they have no swords in their hands. Now there is only one way, all the young and middle-aged people stay, take up arms to stop them, women and children hurry away, take the mountain road towards the Wohua Mountain area, only in this way can we survive some people. β
There are about 100 villagers, but women and children account for seven or eight points, and only 30 men can lift sticks.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, with this person taking the lead, seven or eight more men raised their hands, women and children also hid their faces and wept, in this tragic atmosphere, Mu Ya's heart also began to tremble, and he carefully muttered that he could only help the world by being born.
After a short farewell, more than 30 men raised hoes and wooden sticks and stood behind Mu Ya, who called Chen Xinxue and said, "Take Wan'er and leave quickly, she listened to me and said that I would be back soon." You also go, the cavalry captain said that Xiao Yi is not dead, he should have fled to the village in the Wohua Mountain region, and you should be able to find it if you inquire more when you get there. β
"Brother Mu, then you ......" Chen Xinxue stopped again, how could she not know the ferocity of those cavalry, and the people left behind would inevitably die, even if Mu Ya's martial arts were profound, I was afraid that it would be unpredictable.
Mu Ya just smiled, "I have helped her find a miracle doctor for several years, but I have not been able to heal her eyes, if I can't go back, Xiaoxue, please take care of Wan'er for the sake of the Chen family and the Mu family." Alright, let's go!"
Looking at the resoluteness in Mu Ya's eyes, Chen Xinxue gritted her teeth and turned away, this is a man's war, and those who may be alive are women.
"The men in Songtaoling are all iron-clad men!"
When Mu Ya said this, all the farmers clenched their weapons, they might be selfish in normal times, they might quarrel over firewood, rice, oil and salt, they might fight and scold over a joke, but now, they will fight for the lives of their families.
"Hahaha, does that make sense? as long as you are killed, even if those women and children run farther, the cavalry will quickly catch up with them. With a wave of Guan Huang Baihu's big sword, he slashed towards Mu Ya, since he took over this task, he was ready to slaughter, his opponent was, Mu Ya.
The blue sky, a round of scorching sun hangs high, the square wall field is woven into a basket, gathered in the earth, like a steamer, and on this Songtao Ridge, the forest is towering to the sky, but it can't cover up the slaughter of the dew, under the hot light, a touch of blood rises.
Mu Ya couldn't defeat after all, in order to let the farmers here survive a few more, he risked his life to walk through the cavalry formation, and after killing dozens of people, he was slashed by Guan Huang, who was waiting for the opportunity, and finally fell to the ground without being able to move.
Guan Huang has become more and more cautious since he broke his arm, so at the beginning, he did not intercept Mu Ya's killing of the cavalry, but used the number of cavalry to consume his physical strength, and secretly observed that he would give the opponent a fatal blow at the most appropriate time, and he succeeded.
Mu Ya struggled in a pool of blood, but there was obviously no room for resistance, and even an ordinary person could easily kill him at this time.
Mu Ya spat out a mouthful of blood and forced himself to look up, the dozens of farmers did not have the slightest power to fight back under the scimitars wielded by the cavalry, more and more people were slaughtered, and they let out a terrible scream, and he could no longer stop it, because even he might not live for a few minutes.
Guan Huang came to Mu Ya with a cruel smile, put one foot on his back gushing with blood, and said, "Isn't it desperate? These people you are protecting can't escape their fate after all, without you opening the way for them, it will be difficult for them to even take half a step, and those women and children who have escaped, the cavalry can catch up with them in an instant, and they will all die! It just so happens that I don't like to leave trouble, so I can't let you go!"
His white tiger broadsword is still sharp, he is an outlaw who dominates one side in Ganyong Village, even if his broken arm is lost here, how can he be afraid of killing people and taking his life? But when the corner of his eye is fixed on that cold light piercing his eyeballs, when the gray shadow like a nightmare resists his broadsword and repels him with a short sword, he can no longer be calm.
"Guan Huang, what a Guan Huang! When you cut off your arm and you escaped, I didn't expect that you directly left the subordinates of the hundred people in Ganyong Village and ran to the Qin Dynasty, you let me find it easily!"
The person who came was Jiang Ming, when he saw Guan Huang's shadow, the anger in his heart erupted violently, no matter who instigated and instigated it, but the means of threatening and coercive made Jiang Ming always hold a fish in his throat, if it weren't for him, how could he forcibly rescue Father Mu, so as to really plant an irreparable mustard with Mu Qinglan? Even if he didn't have a good impression of King Hou Feng, but he couldn't talk about Fang Xiu's hatred until death, he couldn't forgive only this person.
Guan Huang covered his eyeballs that had been cut by the short sword, not wanting the enemy to be blushing when he saw him, but he even lost one of his eyes, how could he swallow this anger? However, he seemed to be stronger, so strong that he was afraid. He muttered
"Jiang Ming, the hatred of the broken arm is not appeased, and the hatred of hurting the eyes is added, you want to fight with me endlessly!"
Jiang Ming smiled and said, "Since Uncle Mu died in Ganyong Village, I have already held the mind of killing you reckless dog, we have long been immortal, Hou Fengwang, I am not afraid, will I be afraid of your intimidation?"
Shen Yiwu came from behind at this time, just staggering the cavalry gathered around, she squatted to see that Mu Ya had not yet lost her breath, so she came to Jiang Ming's side and asked, "Do you know this person?"
Jiang Ming said, "There are very few people I hate, the father and son of the Zhong family in Huangshi Town are counted, the people of Burning Song Dao are counted, and this person is too." β
Shen Yiwu asked softly, "It has something to do with your childhood sweetheart?"
Jiang Ming nodded slightly, then suddenly frowned, and said, "Yi Wei, I won't hide these things from you, after this matter is over, I will find a time to tell you in detail." β
Shen Yi's eyes darkened, and he said, "You don't have to be like this, you can do your own thing first!"
Guan Huang smiled evilly and said, "I didn't expect you to change to another woman, but this time it seems that no one else let you kill by mistake." β
Jiang Ming was furious, when he missed and caused Mu's father to be killed, this was a scar that he couldn't reveal, if it weren't for the fact that Uncle Mu often fed and clothed Jiang Ming and the three of them when he was a child, maybe he and Zhong Hai and Xiao Gao would not have lived to adulthood at all, but it was his conceited psychology that led to the tragedy.
Now that the old thing was mentioned again, Jiang Ming was naturally annoyed and angry, only to see that his speed skyrocketed instantly, holding a short sword and swooping towards Guan Huang, the short sword slashed horizontally, and the power of the eight leads was exposed.
"How could it be!" Guan Huang's eyes were cracked, even if he guessed that Jiang Ming's strength had improved, he still couldn't believe that such a young martial artist had suddenly reached the threshold of the martial arts realm, and with only this extremely domineering strength, he was suppressed so that he had no power to fight back, he was afraid in his heart, and at the moment when the short sword fell, he shouted, "General Zhu, save me!"
Zhu Gai has long been hidden in the shadows, and the title of General Pingxi is on the faΓ§ade, and no one dares to take the edge of his generation of martial arts masters. Guan Huang's fall in his eyes, the henchmen of the seventh rank naturally wanted to be saved, he made a move, hit Jiang Ming's short sword, and met it with both palms, to his surprise, this man with a young face, at least more than ten years younger than himself, actually had enough ability to threaten him.
Jiang Ming smiled siniestly and said, "Do you think you'll dare to come out?"
It turned out that he had already noticed his own hiding! Zhu Gai was shocked, retreated, and shouted angrily, "Do you know who I am?
Jiang Ming was furious, where can he control the share of people, and sarcastically said, "Hiding the head and hiding the tail is for the rats, slaughtering the village is for the beasts, and shielding the sinners is for the scum." Look at your gorgeous clothes and appearance, you can be regarded as my uncle in terms of seniority, why are you so shameless!"
Zhu Gaihe had been insulted like this, and he was ready to kill this arrogant boy in shame, but he was stopped by a man in armor who suddenly appeared, it was another of his henchmen, named Su Jie, who was also an eighth-rank martial artist.
At this time, he knelt down on one knee in front of Zhu Gai and said, "General, the men and horses of Wohua Mountain are a few miles away, and the leaders are Meng Lang, the fifth commander of Wohua Mountain, and Chu Hong, the seventh commander. β
This is already very clear, in view of Zhu Gai's face, Su Jie did not say any consequences, but he was dragged here, and when Meng Lang and Chu Hong arrived, it was not a matter of leaving if he wanted to.
Zhu Gai is a general of 10,000 people, and he knows the severity, so he looked at Jiang Ming coldly at the moment, and shouted, "Boy, if there is a kind, I will report your share, you are the new commander of Wohua Mountain?"
Jiang Ming said, "No, I just have a blood feud with the broken arm reckless man under you, if you have a kind, cut off his head, and our grievances will be written off!"
Zhu Gai glanced at Guan Huang, who was sincerely afraid, and sneered, "It's a character, if you can still say such arrogant words when my big knife is on your neck, it is really worthy of admiration." Let's go!"
Jiang Ming could see the strength of Zhu Gai and the man next to him at a glance, and he had to let go of the matter of killing Guan Huang, so he was very angry in his heart, so he had to grit his teeth and shout, "Guan Huang, I hope that the next time I see you, you will also have such good luck!"
Zhu Gai, Su Jie, and Guan Huang looked indifferent and jumped away, and the rest of the cavalry also retreated, Jiang Ming seemed to be out of breath, and sat on the ground casually, his head drooping, and his eyes were gloomy. Shen Yi walked over and said worriedly, "What's the matter?" β
Jiang Ming smiled weakly, as if to comfort her, as if to comfort herself, lightly held her hand, and said, "It's nothing, it's just a little tired." β
Not long after, Meng Lang and Chu Hong led thousands of soldiers to arrive, looking at the massacre of Songtaoling Village and regretting a lot, seeing Jiang Ming and Shen Yi worried about the many greetings here, and afraid that Zhu Gai led the army to raid their main camp, so they simply buried the dead, and returned to the eastern mountain and forest camp with Mu Ya with an angry mouth, and there is no need to mention the tedious things.
