Chapter 80: There are tigers in the mountains and forests
A group of people rested in the place where they were cleaning up their knees, and the cloth mat they carried on the trip could avoid the night dew and wet, and the flames danced in the dark eyes, like the ghosts and demons who swam in the eyes, and the firewood burned out after the time of time, and the darkness swept in, drowning the bodies of the people lying or lying on their backs.
"Da da da!" Jiang Ming faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps, and woke up from a light sleep in an instant, and when he looked up, Mu Ya was also shocked, the Chen family brothers and sisters were still asleep, the two soldiers snored in a low voice at the door, the two looked at each other, and then tiptoed out, Mu Ya asked, "Did you hear it too?"
Jiang Ming said, "This area is the residence of the people under the rule of Wohua Mountain, it stands to reason that there should not be so many mixed horses' hooves, even messengers and sentinels don't need to be so eye-catching, we might as well go and see." ”
Dozens of fast horses galloped in the mountains, swept away the dust and alarmed the birds, rode the horses in the mountains and forests, and the cavalry wearing black clothes and yellow scarves desperately rode the horses, but then there were arrows flying around them, and the sound of breaking the wind sounded and several people were thrown off their horses.
"Damn, how did these people get into this area, it's obviously my territory under the control of Wohua Mountain, are the garrison troops outside eating idle food?"
The captain of this squad originally belonged to the camp of Lin Han, the sixth commander, because of the difficult situation in Jiaozhi City, Lin Han sent him to lead more than a dozen people to ask for help, which was not a difficult task, but he was ambushed by an unknown army in the area controlled by the forces of Wohua Mountain, and the other party seemed to be numerous and prepared, and killed most of his men as soon as he made a move.
"Quickly, change the original route and move towards the mountain path. ”
With this order, the remaining seven or eight people fanned out in front of them, and they had already laid out a plan to use this method to disrupt the enemy's target when there were pursuers to chase and kill, and to achieve the successful escape of the majority at the expense of a few, so as to achieve the purpose of delivering the message.
However, to the surprise of the squad leader, it seemed that the enemy had penetrated their thoughts, and several people were hacked to death by the ambush soldiers.
"How could it be? How could we know so much about our tactics, and where did these people come from?"
As they were about to disperse, nearly 100 black-clothed warriors emerged from the surrounding mountains and forests, armed with long hooks specially designed to break the legs of horses, and slashed down the horses that rushed to the front, and both horses and men fell heavily.
The squad leader's eyes were red, and he watched his brothers fall one by one, seeing that he was already in a catastrophe, so he decided to destroy the news.
"Whew!"
A sharp arrow flew by, and the team leader was left behind, holding a letter sealed with fire paint in his hand, and he didn't blink an eye.
"Captain!" the remaining four hurriedly dismounted, drew their long knives to protect them, and one shouted "Destroy the letter quickly, even if we are all dead, we will not let the news fall into the hands of these people." ”
One man slashed and killed the enemy who came to block, trying to snatch the letter, but suddenly it was dark in front of him, and the letter was already out of nowhere. I saw a general in black rattan armor pinching the neck of the man in black with a yellow scarf with one hand, holding the letter with the other, and said coldly, "You don't seem to have the right to touch this letter." ”
"Click!" a sound of broken necks came into the ears of the remaining three, and the faces of the three of them turned pale in an instant, even under the cover of the night, the three of them still couldn't help but have a trembling before the arrival of death.
"Bastard, pay for our captain's life!" One man hesitated for a moment, then raised his broadsword with red eyes and rushed towards the general, without any result, all the heroism was only blood and hideous to be seen by the world.
"Don't be impulsive, I don't really want to kill you!" The general lit a torch and took a picture of the dead Yellow Turban soldier, and said, "For my part, General Pang Lu's subordinates, the fifth-generation eldest son of the Bian family in the capital, the current Xiaohu general and the main bookkeeper of the attack, Bian Daocheng, the strength of the eight-stage martial arts master, have you ever heard of it?"
The two Yellow Turban warriors were greatly surprised, Bian Daocheng's name was extremely loud, just the strength of the eight-rank position was enough to shock, he was the fifth-generation eldest son of the Bian family, one of the three major families in the capital, and was deeply trusted by the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, and his status was far more noble than that of ordinary generals.
Bian Daocheng said his share, the purpose was to deter and rebel against the two mountain bandits of Wohua Mountain, he crossed the main blockade of Wohua Mountain to the rear, naturally he had a clear plan, but he ignored the Bing of this Wohua Mountain bandits.
The two Yellow Turban warriors glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths were swept with an unrecognizable smile, and one said, "Bian Daocheng, the eighth-rank Mighty Tiger General, is a little scary, if it is someone else, it may be lowered." ”
Bian Daocheng frowned and said, "Oh? ”
One of the Yellow Turban warriors said, "Do you know our share?"
Bian Daocheng smiled and said, "Does this matter? You are now captured by me, and it is up to me to decide whether you will be killed or killed, and I don't want to know the names of the dead." Of course, if you are willing to agree to my request and do what you have to do, perhaps your name will reach my ears. ”
The Yellow Turban Warrior said, "No, no, no, General, you misunderstood. ”
Bian Daocheng was quite puzzled, and said, "Misunderstanding? What do you mean?"
The soldier took off his yellow scarf and said, "We are, the independent cavalry of the sixth battalion under the command of Lin Han of Wohua Mountain. "It's not a rank or position, it's just the deepest imprint in their hearts since they joined the army.
The cold light in Bian Daocheng's eyes flickered, not only because of this provocative remark, but also because of the name Lin Han. The first few Pang Luce rebelled against the spies sent by Wohua Mountain, and set up a plan to invite the king into the urn to wait for Wohua Mountain to capture in the void and reality, the seven commanders Wang Xiang led thousands of men and horses to rob the camp, Deng Zhun and Zhao The two most eight-stage martial arts masters led 10,000 people to chase and kill, if it wasn't for Lin Han and Liang Jin to bring people to arrive in time, maybe Wang Xiang, the general, would fall into the chaos.
Dao Cheng said compassionately, "Since you are Lin Han's subordinates, then you must know the grievances between us, because of Lin Han in the war a few years ago, we died thousands of people, do you still dare to admit that you are Lin Han's people, are you not afraid that I will break your body into ten thousand pieces?"
The Yellow Turban Warrior said, "General, you may not know the situation of the Qin Dynasty today, right? The Quartet is constantly moving and banditry, who can exempt everyone from the bells and drums, we can get the shade of Wohua Mountain in this troubled era is already a hundred years of blessing, our wife, children and mother are in the area of Wohua Mountain, they are spared the disaster of labor and the pain of war, they can spend this life safely, it is my greatest merit." How about risking life and death to protect Wohua Mountain? What about dying here today? Wohua Mountain can save the world, the commanders of Wohua Mountain can protect us, can the Qin Dynasty?"
Bian Daocheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little worried, although the current situation of the Qin Dynasty is indeed very bad, where can there be no room for a few people who have been affected by the disaster?
Their Bian family has been rich and noble in the capital for five generations, and there doesn't seem to be much deterrent power outside the capital, Bian Daocheng kicked down the two Yellow Turban warriors with one kick, and the reason for his inner conquest of Wohua Mountain began to shake slightly.
He is the best son of the younger generation of the Bian family, their Bian family has maintained the Qiu clan for more than a hundred years, and now at the age of twenty-seven, he has already worshiped the Tiger General, how can he have these thoughts.
Bian Daocheng glanced indifferently at the two Yellow Turban soldiers who were struggling on the ground, and said, "Since you can't cooperate, let's execute them on the spot! ”
"Yes!" The two men in black received the order and killed with knives, and suddenly two arrows came through the wind, one through the throat and the other through the arm, blocking the movements of the two men in black respectively, and suddenly the birds were shocked again.
"What people!"
Bian Daocheng was the first to perceive the sound of the arrow, and the previous mood fluctuations did not notice that someone was coming at the first time, only to see that the person was carrying a poplar bow and holding a long halberd in his hand, and the tip of the halberd was inserted into the heart of another black-clothed man who was hit by the arrow, and blood flowed down the halberd blade.
"Dare to kill people under my nose, thieves are so daring!"
Hearing the general's loud shout, the other black-clothed men immediately besieged with knives, and there were four black-clothed swordsmen attacking and killing at the same time in all directions, if the same move attacked in the same direction, it would be full of loopholes, but the cooperation between them made the power of that attack and kill several times more than once.
"Drink!" the person swept with a halberd, directly repelled the four people with huge brute force, and said, "It seems that the archery technique is still not good, and there is still one of the two arrows in a row that misses the throat, if it is General Bian's arrow, he should not make this kind of mistake!"
"Stop!" Bian Daocheng ordered his subordinates, walked close with a gun, and pointed the tip of the gun at the incomer, "You should know that protecting these two mountain bandits and killing my subordinates will anger me." Seeing that you are only a halberd with a lot of power, and you think that you are at least a sixth-rank martial artist, if you can't say a reason to act chivalrous, I will make you a human being. ”
The halberd wielding was naturally Jiang Ming, but since he was now, he would not be afraid of anyone's threat, he protected the two Yellow Turban warriors, and said with a smile, "This is the realm of Wohua Mountain, killing you intruders can only be regarded as suppressing evil, not being a hero." ”
Bian Daocheng saw that this person was quite bold, so he asked, "Are you from Wohua Mountain?" But I remember that the eight commanders of Wohua Mountain don't seem to have your face. ”
Jiang Ming said, "Are you qualified to know?"
Bian Daocheng clenched the gun in his hand and shouted angrily, "Well, you ignorant thief, you dare to provoke Ben Jiang like this, if you don't guess that you are a dog from Wohua Mountain, it still has some effect on my plan, Ben Jiang would have poked a hole in your heart a long time ago." ”
"Hehe, is it?" Jiang Ming stood on the ground with the halberd of Fang Yuan, surrounded the two injured Yellow Turban soldiers, his eyes swept over these black-clothed men with a reckless gaze, and finally stopped on Bian Daocheng with a hint of mockery, and said, "Bian Daocheng, right? The next heir of the Bian family, the first family in the capital, worships General Xiaohu in vain, and claims to be a martial arts master of the eighth section, he can't even see through his own situation, and he dares to poke me a hole with wild words, this is the hinterland of Wohua Mountain, aren't you afraid that the people of Wohua Mountain will poke tens of thousands of holes in you?"
Bian Daocheng was suddenly annoyed and angry, and shouted loudly, "The thief dares to insult me?" As he spoke, he used a single dragon out of the mountain, wanting to stab this madman down with one shot, but to his surprise, this person really had military merits, and Huo Ran's speed of the halberd made him feel palpitations.
The tip of the spear was stuck by the halberd, and Jiang Ming said without a red face and a heartbeat, "General Bian, you don't seem to be invincible as the legend, do you want to call your subordinates to besiege together?"
It's a very clumsy radical, but for Bian Daocheng, a noble son of the Bian family, this method is particularly effective.
Bian Daocheng said, "Without my order, don't act rashly, and see how I pierce this man's head!"
Jiang Ming smiled dangerously, and once again provoked the opponent's attack, which was close to the two Yellow Turban warriors, and he whispered, "Listen brother, listen to my instructions for a while and follow my footsteps to escape, don't stay." Seeing the surprise and excitement flashing in the eyes of the two Yellow Turban warriors, this hope of regaining their lives sprouted in their hearts, Jiang Ming smiled wickedly with relief.
In the blink of an eye, the two have fought for more than 20 rounds, and the confrontation between the gun and the halberd is very interesting, but the people in the game understand that this is an extremely thrilling killing move, and the slightest carelessness will kill them.
"Sure enough, he deserves to be the best son of the Bian family!" Although Jiang Ming praised him, he did not admit that he would lose to him. In his opinion, although Bian Daocheng's marksmanship has a very dense attack and killing technique in his moves, it is not as sharp as Lin Han's spear, if it is only compared to the skill of spearmanship, I am afraid that even the battle in Sanyuan Mountain will be a few points better than him. This should be due to the fact that the children of the Bian family are pampered and participate in real bloody battles far less than the first two.
"Is this the ancestral marksmanship of the Bian family? It doesn't seem to be
What is worthy of admiration, just now I inadvertently unfolded the 'occupation style' for a moment, and I have already discovered the weakness in Bian Daocheng's gun. Jiang Ming thought secretly in his heart, he had already digested most of the martial arts training images left by Yequan, and the essence of the martial arts skills in it would gradually pour into his body with time, becoming the most solid foundation for him to break through the status realm, and now he had a good chance of winning in the face of most of the eight-stage martial arts masters.
"Give me another thirty moves, and I will be able to defeat him!" Jiang Ming knew very well that this kind of defeat was not a killing, martial artists who had reached the level of martial arts masters often knew very well where their limits were, they could easily defeat, but it was extremely difficult for martial artists of the same level to want them to die. This is also the reason why ordinary martial artists on the battlefield are often killed without fighting, but high-level martial artists can escape back with serious injuries in tow.
Thirteen moves!Jiang Ming used the first type of Xuan Xuan, and a shot pierced Bian Daocheng's shoulder, although Jiang Ming wanted to take advantage of the victory to kill him, but he was still used by Bian Daocheng to stand up and re-enter a confrontation with Jiang Ming, but since then he has never had the upper hand.
"Whew!"
A cannon soared into the sky and exploded on the black-shrouded mountain, emitting a dazzling white light.
When Bian Daocheng saw this signal, he secretly screamed badly, and shouted at Jiang Ming, "You are so shameless, you even have accomplices involved!"
Jiang Ming didn't think so, he didn't think about a completely fair fight from the beginning, and the general Bian Daocheng was just to prevent his subordinates from making a move on the two warriors of Wohua Mountain privately, and all kinds of speculation and planning had already been set for him.
"It's really stupid, I don't know how you became a general, you still dare to fight with me in the enemy's territory, and you dare to blatantly chase and intercept Chen Cang with a killer, the Bian family can have a general like you, maybe someone will be slaughtered sooner or later. ”
Bian Daocheng was furious and was about to order Jiang Ming to be besieged, but there were spies from the periphery who came to report, "Tell the general, a team that doesn't know where it came from has surrounded us, most of them are armed with bows and arrows, and it is difficult for us to fight back." ”
Bian Daocheng asked, "How many people are coming?"
The spy said, "It was dark and unpredictable, I saw a torch light on the periphery, and the sound of trees, although there was no direct random arrows, but as long as the spies we sent out, they would be accurately killed, suspected archers more than two hundred, infantry more than five hundred." ”
Bian Daocheng's face was pale, but when he saw that Jiang Ming had already stabbed down the two black-clothed men nearby by taking advantage of his distraction, and led the two yellow turban soldiers to kill the corner, he hurriedly shouted, "Stop him!"
Bian Daocheng shot too late, the strength of the man in black was low, in this darkness, Jiang Ming independently relied on a halberd to kill a way, looking back at Bian Daocheng, who was helplessly entangled in the middle of staying, and said loudly, "Bian Daocheng, Yong Jiang'er." Let me ask General Xiaohu, dare to chase me?"
Bian Daocheng was furious, he has not tasted this humiliation since he was a child, and he has not tasted this defeat when his official career is unimpeded, although the general in charge of the army is the most taboo to be angry before the battle, but at this time Bian Daocheng has long forgotten the teacher's teachings, and he will kill the thief with a spear.
The two lieutenant generals under his subordinates hurriedly admonished, "General, we are in the enemy territory, I don't know how many enemies are outside the circle, for the sake of the lives of our brothers, don't chase and kill!"
Bian Daocheng said, "This fang insults me, how can I let him escape?" The two lieutenants saw that Bian Daocheng had lost his ability to judge because of anger, so they asked a few of his subordinates to set up Bian Daocheng and flee in the opposite direction.
Jiang Ming escaped from Bian Daocheng's round-up with two Yellow Turban soldiers, and was relieved to see the people who were walking with torches not far away.
Mu Ya walked in the front, followed by a few farmers dressed in ordinary clothes, one of them was the local sentry chief, who was about forty years old, and when he saw Jiang Ming, he bowed and said, "In Xia Gongtong, he is the second sentry chief between the single water ridge of Jiaozhi, and he has seen his brother's paperwork, and he has led fifteen militiamen to help." ”
Jiang Ming had already handed over the passage documents left to him by Lin Han to Mu Ya, originally thinking that he would directly ask the nearest army for help, but he never expected that only sixteen people would be found.
Jiang Ming frowned and said, "Why are there only so many people? Then how did you make such a big noise and scare away Bian Daocheng? Could it be that the army of Wohua Mountain refused to come?"
Mu Ya smiled silently, and the whistle chief named Gong Tong said, "Don't hide it from your brother, you said, we really only have such a few people." Shan Shui Ling was not far from the city of Cochin, so all the troops were withdrawn to the large military camp thirty miles away to help, and the villages here were only militiamen. If we only rely on a dozen of us, we will naturally not be able to scare Bian Daocheng away, thanks to the clever plan of this friend of yours, it is just a little arranged, but we have added hundreds of soldiers and horses by relying on it. ”
Jiang Ming stared straight at Mu Ya with his eyes straight and said, "The secrets of the Bian family that I know, as well as Bian Daocheng's proud, irritable and resourceful character, were all leaked to me by you, and the wisdom you hide seems to be far more powerful than martial arts." With the grass and trees as soldiers, the lips and tongues as guns, and the truth hidden in the void, and then the darkness and night could not distinguish the truth, just the deterrent torch figure and a few hidden arrows, and then drank Bian Dao into a crowd of hundreds of people, which really taught me a lesson. ”
When those militiamen heard this, they also showed admiration for Mu Ya, but Mu Ya seemed extremely calm, and said, "It's just a little trick, it can't be put on the stage, as long as Bian Daocheng doesn't really withdraw from this area, we will still have a huge threat." Although the sentry commander had sent someone to ask for reinforcements from the troops in the large barracks overnight, it was probably tomorrow afternoon that they would arrive. Besides, Bian Daocheng is an eighth-stage martial arts master, ordinary people have no way to deal with him, even if he comes to the army, he can only assist in the battle, so you have to take action. ”
Jiang Ming said, "Do you have a way?"
Mu Ya said: "You can give it a try." ”
