Chapter 272: Bandits, Horses, Charging into Battle
"Since the difference between the Jiaozhi Plains, I haven't seen it for several months, the dogs in the Jiaozhi City have always had a relationship with the two, and it is rare to meet in this mountain forest today, it can be regarded as a fate, why don't you sit down and have a drink?"
Today's Xu Cong is unkempt and old-fashioned, just by his face, he can tell that he has been in the mountains and forests for a long time, although there was also a difficult to hide the gangsterism in Jiaozhi City, but at least it was not as obvious as it is now.
Jiang Ming's heart was slightly shocked, Xu Cong inexplicably launched a siege on him and Shen Yiwei, but now it seems that there is a lot of cattiness, I am afraid that there is still Qiu Jue's participation, and the final purpose is to make this war more popular, Jiang Ming didn't write anything else, Xu Cong gave him three arrows, he can remember it clearly.
Jiang Ming looked around and found that Xu Cong's men were all brave, better than the five hundred armor soldiers in Jiaozhi City, and there were frightened birds in the mountains and forests in the distance, it should be that there were other people hidden, Jiang Ming had to pick a good time if he wanted to take revenge, after all, only he and Shen Yi were worried at the moment, and there was no way to stop these thousands of bandits.
Jiang Ming said loudly: "Master Xu, when I fought in Jiaozhi City, there were indeed many people who hadn't met each other, but you put on such a big battle when you met, which made me a little panicked, are you planning to fight with me?"
Xu Cong was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that even if the situation was oppressive, Jiang Ming was not moved in the slightest, it can be seen that he has matured a lot in the war in the past few months, and it is impossible to besiege him with a simple five hundred armor soldiers.
Xu Cong waved his hand, and the surrounding warriors had already put away their weapons, Xu Cong smiled: "I should call you the Nine Commanders of Wohua Mountain, after all, I am no longer the head of the Xu family now, but a murderous mountain bandit like you, as you can see, these people are my elite soldiers, and this Cangya Mountain Range is my stronghold, maybe you still have doubts, but if I say that I have hidden 100,000 elite soldiers here, do you believe it or not?"
Jiang Ming was shocked in his heart, and he couldn't tell whether what Xu Cong said was true or false, but it was expected that there would be people from the Shen family in the future, and it was not appropriate to talk more to Xu Cong, so he said: "Xu Cong, it doesn't matter if I believe it or not, I can also ignore the hatred you killed me at the beginning, we don't want to make the river water in the well water now, and you don't want to be the enemy of Wohua Mountain, and consume your own troops in vain, but Wohua Mountain is willing to attack and kill the Cangya Mountain Range for a commander." ”
Xu Cong said with a smile: "What you said is a little bluffing me, now the world is in chaos, Daming Cave and the barbarians are taking the opportunity to make waves, only you Wohua Mountain does not move, if my news is not wrong, a few years ago Zi Pang Lu attacked Jiaozhi City, you did not receive Zong Kun's reinforcements, right? Wohua Mountain is already a grasshopper after the autumn, do you think you can still take revenge on me? Whether it was at the beginning or now, I Xu Cong has never been afraid of anyone. ”
Jiang Ming said: "In this way, do you want to surround me here, or do you want to recruit me to serve you?"
Xu Cong said: "I can't besiege and kill, and I don't dare to recruit me, after all, if a character like you is not used well, it will destroy myself." I have a bold idea, this world is not chaotic enough, the real reason is that Wohua Mountain has not sent troops yet, I want to trap the nine commanders in this mountain, and Zong Kun will send troops. ”
Jiang Ming said: "I don't know what to say, you have already speculated before, the mountain master Zong Kun will not damage his foundation for me as a small commander, besides, I have no cronies in Wohua Mountain, and I don't have a direct army, if I die, I am dead, since Zong Kun is not moving, he must be accumulating strength, or he is secretly plotting to rectify the soldiers and horses, do you think he will break his own plan for my son?"
Xu Cong said with a smile: "You are very right, you have a high talent for the topic of echoing me, of course, I have to agree with your statements, Zong Kun is a very ambitious person, under normal circumstances, he will naturally not do stupid things, but if it is after my publicity and exposure, I think everyone in the world knows that there is a leader of Wohua Mountain who is trapped here with me, and he will not be unmoved." ”
Jiang Ming frowned deeply, and secretly guessed in his heart that under all kinds of means, there was a great possibility that Wohua Mountain would be dispatched, and he couldn't help but be disgusted with this feeling of being used and bound, so he asked: "What kind of plan are you? What is the benefit of Wohua Mountain's participation in the war?"
Xu Cong smiled faintly and said: "You don't have to understand this, I don't want to be that pawn, I can only let Zong Kun explore the truth and truth, then you will understand, stay with me obediently, I won't hurt you during this period, of course, there is also the evil little beauty on your side, although my son has a crush on her, but for my plan, I can only wronged him." ”
But he saw Xu Cong standing with a man in ink armor, it was Xu Fanshi, who was called the best in the world, he was staring at Jiang Mingbian with a hideous smile at the moment, full of jealousy.
Jiang Ming was annoyed in his heart, but he wanted to confront this unknown number of bandits head-on, and also face Xu Cong's fight, he couldn't help but be a little afraid that he was not Xu Cong's opponent, if he lost in this kind of battle, he would not even have the strength to defend at all, compared to such an adventure, it was a rather pertinent choice to directly compromise and live next to Xu Cong.
But Xu Cong is ruthless, and he is not necessarily Xu Cong's opponent in those poisonous schemes, if he enters the thief's den, it will be difficult to come out again. Jiang Ming was hesitating, thinking about all the pros and cons, if he was alone, he could advance and retreat freely in this bandit army, but with Shen Yi's worries involved, he would inevitably have more scruples.
At this moment, the voice of Yequan came from his heart: "The previous status cultivator is already running in this direction, and those minions of the Shen family are probably aware of the movement here. ”
Jiang Ming was shocked in his heart, there were roadblocks in front of him, and there were man-eating wolves in the back, and now his advance and retreat would become extremely difficult.
But if he thought about it carefully, if he and Shen Yiwu hid in Xu Cong's team, Xu Cong would certainly not murder for a while, but if the status cultivator asked and interrogated, Xu Cong would naturally hand over the two of them, and at that time, he would completely face the pursuit of the two parties, and the danger he fell into would not be easier than at this time.
Shen Yi's face changed abruptly, as if he had sensed something, and said in Jiang Ming's ear: "The people of the Shen family are here, we have to leave quickly." ”
Shen Yiwu should have other items that can detect the movements of the Shen family, so that he can react at the first time.
Jiang Ming looked at Shen Yiwu, took out a wooden flower from his arms, handed it into Shen Yiwu's hands, and said: "It's called 'Hanhai Secluded', take it, it's a dead end again, let's rush out!"
Shen Yi looked at the seclusion of the Hanhai Sea, slightly surprised, and said, "This is a wood flower, and it has a fragrance, but it is very exquisite, it seems that you have put a lot of thought into it." ”
Jiang Ming said: "This is something I carved out little by little. The wood and stone still have a fragrance, how can people not feel it? Yi worry, what you care about, I will tell you when I go out, this time continue to follow me firmly!"
Shen Yi was stunned for a long time, hesitating for the sentence "The wood and stone still have a fragrance, how can people not feel it", and finally she also grabbed the last light and nodded firmly.
Seeing this scene from afar, Xu Cong seemed to have guessed Jiang Ming's decision, and said: "It seems that I still think too much about unrealistic things, you are the Jiang Ming, not the others in Wohua Mountain, naturally it is impossible to bow to me, it seems that you have already decided to rush out of me, then you are welcome." Three thousand bandits, array!"
I only heard Xu Cong shouting, and the thousands of brave men hidden in the mountains and forests all moved when they heard the wind, and they came towards Jiang Ming and Shen Yi in a very regular manner, and Xu Cong had already taken his usual long knife, and it seemed that he wanted to take down Jiang Ming in the shortest time.
"I haven't said my decision yet, you are a little self-righteous. Jiang Ming smiled bitterly, his eyes gradually became cold, there was such a movement in the mountains and forests, thinking that the people of the Shen family would soon be attracted to him, and he had to fight quickly.
Jiang Ming looked up to the sky and whistled, like a secret signal, when Xu Cong was still looking around for fear of ambushes, Jiang Ming had already raised his halberd and attacked the weakest point, but in just three combinations, he cut down several brave soldiers carefully cultivated by Xu Cong.
"Good boy, are you just trying to distract me? I don't let you go so easily!"
Xu Cong shouted, and then carried it to the point of killing, Jiang Ming is the peak of the eighth rank, he only lost a few moves to him at the beginning, among these thousands of people, except for him, no one is Jiang Ming's opponent, and he is the only one who deserves to be Jiang Ming's opponent.
Shen Yiwei followed Jiang Ming firmly, holding a short sword, from time to time to Jiang Minghou's soldiers to make up for the knife, although she is not strong, but she is often able to seize the opportunity to assassinate those soldiers who are facing Jiang Ming head-on and not dying, she also has some martial arts cultivation foundation, and will not be afraid of ordinary soldiers, so as to avoid Jiang Ming from getting into some trouble in order to save her.
Xu Cong slashed with a knife, Jiang Ming pulled Shen Yi away with one hand, and raised the halberd with the other hand to block, and suddenly the power of the eight lead surged, even if he was still a little reluctant in the face of Xu Cong, but he finally blocked that move.
Xu Cong sneered: "Good boy, it seems that you have also made a lot of progress during this time, and you are even able to block my moves with one hand." ”
Jiang Ming said coldly: "One hand is the same as both hands, both are controlled by people, but I can not only resist, but also attack." ”
When the words fell, all the power of the eight leads in Jiang Ming's body appeared on the Fang Yuan halberd, and before Xu Cong could react, he rushed Xu Cong's big knife high, and the Fang Yuan halberd came out of his hand, Jiang Ming not only did not panic, but a sneer swept the corner of his mouth, and the hand was combined into a palm, and the halberd style instantly expanded, rushing out towards Xu Cong's chamber, Xu Cong immediately avoided the attack and took out the back of the knife to block, but Rao was so, he was also pushed out a few meters.
Jiang Ming has already honed his existing moves, whether it is the speed and strength of the moves, or the connection of various moves, he can operate freely. Although Xu Cong only took his palm, in fact, the destructive power contained in the halberd was in it, even if he had the back of the knife to resist, Xu Cong would definitely not feel good.
At the right time, the Fang Yuan halberd fell again, Jiang Ming seemed to have expected it, and took Shen Yi into his arms, the Fang Yuan halberd swept between, and several brave people who came to attack and kill around were instantly subdued, except for a few who resisted with weapons, and then were cut off by Jiang Ming's Fang Yuan halberd, everyone else had already died on the ground.
Obviously it's just an ordinary palm, even if it is full of eight lead power, but it won't have this kind of lethality, that palm is not strong, but it seems that there is a blade against his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe, when he looked down, he found that there was already a shallow wound in the abdomen, as if it was pierced by a blade, which was quite weird.
After Jiang Ming repelled Xu Cong with a blow, he didn't stay any longer, and continued to kill bravely to the side, his purpose was not to fight with Xu Cong, but to escape with Shen Yi's worries, at this moment he had a strong desire to survive, rushing left and right in the crowd, and gradually approaching the periphery of the encirclement.
At this moment, Xu Cong actually swung his knife to kill again, and what worried him even more happened, Xu Cong actually appeared on the side of two eight-stage martial arts masters, one turned out to be Xu Fanshi, and the other should be Xu Cong's cronies, and the three of them attacked together, no matter what kind of moves Jiang Ming had, they were powerless to stop it.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves, a majestic black horse rushed from behind the three of them, directly knocked over many of Xu Cong's subordinates, and then jumped up suddenly, and the hooves actually kicked on the backs of Xu Fanshi and Xu Cong's cronies, they were martial arts masters, and they couldn't bear such strength, and they lost the battle in an instant.
"Okay, Jian Po Style!" Jiang Ming seized the opportunity, facing Xu Cong alone, there were almost no superfluous moves, the killing instantly unfolded, and Xu Cong took a few steps back to dodge.
Jiang Ming picked up Shen Yiwu with one hand and turned over the horse, patted the head of the black horse, and said, "Well done Juejiang, go back and have chicken legs to eat." ”
Shen Yi's face was full of black lines: "Can horses eat chicken legs?"
And Xu Cong glanced at the black horse, felt very familiar, and gritted his teeth and said: "Good beast, it turned out to be you, betrayed me, and teamed up with this beast to attack me, I knew that I should have eaten you in the first place." ”
Juejiang used to be Xu Cong's mount, when Xu Cong chased Jiang Ming on the Jiaozhi Road, Jiang Ming forcibly controlled the thousand-mile horse to escape, and later after a long time of domestication, this thousand-mile horse can be regarded as acknowledging the new owner's share.
Juejiang Ma looked at Xu Cong, and there seemed to be a lot of unspeakable in his eyes, Ma Tong people, especially such a thousand miles horse.
Jiang Ming stroked Jue Jiangma's head and said, "Jue Jiang, I promise you not to hurt him this time, for the sake of him feeding you, this is the last time, let's go!"
Jue Jiangma raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, and then carried Jiang Ming and Shen Yi without looking back, no matter what brave obstacles he had, before Jiang Ming waved his halberd, Jue Jiangma had already knocked it over, as if he was venting his own thoughts.
But he saw that on the side, a knife-wielding man came out, it was Xu Cong's cronies who had just been trampled by Jue Jiangma, and he shouted: "I am the Flying Tiger Zhang Xin, let me take your dog's life!"
Jiang Ming saw that he couldn't hide, so he hugged Shen Yi in his arms, turned his horse, and faced a halberd.
"Ten feet halberd!"
Thousands of halberd shadows fell, and the letter fell in a pool of blood, clutching the scar on his throat, and there was no sound.
"This idiot!" Xu Cong scolded secretly, and rushed to kill again, but Jiang Ming didn't confront him head-on, just fought at those minions, and rushed to where he was weak, coupled with Jue Jiangma's spiritual assistance, he had already rushed out for a while, but the chaotic warriors could only make a mess, but trapped Xu Cong in it.
Jiang Ming escaped, quite excited, looked at the back and said, "Master Xu, then I will leave first." Hahaha!"
Being able to advance and retreat freely among thousands of armies, and kill a martial arts master, such a record is already very strong!
Xu Fanshi was also extremely annoyed and was about to pursue, but saw Xu Cong waving his hand to withdraw his troops.
Xu Fan Shi stepped forward and said: "Father, why don't you show the strength of your nine-rank person, but let that Jiang Ming kill General Zhang Xin and escape, now it will be difficult for us to catch him." ”
The Shen look on Xu Cong's face gradually converged, and he said indifferently: "It's just a few people who died, it's not a big deal, the leader of Erlongshan in that letter book, after submitting to me, there are still a lot of dissatisfactions, and now Jiang Ming's hands will dispose of him, and I will be able to completely contain the tens of thousands of bandits under his command." And my plan has been achieved, there is no need to fight to the death with Jiang Ming, someone will deal with him. ”
"Someone will deal with it?" Xu Fanshi was puzzled.
But I saw a few people on the edge of the bamboo forest, all dressed in gorgeous clothes, with extraordinary bearing, and I don't know how much cleaner they were.
The old man who was the leader said: "You junior is too cunning, because after sensing us, he deliberately did not use all his strength, which is really cautious. ”
"What people?" Xu Fanshi took out his blade, and a kind of bravery also began to take precautions, they didn't even perceive when these people came here.
Xu Cong waved his hand and said, "Fan Shi, let people put down their weapons, they are not our enemies, if the seniors want to make a move, we have no chance to stop them." ”
Xu Cong is already in his forties, but he wants to call himself a junior in front of the white-haired old man, and he can do it that these thousands of people can't stop him, so what is the strength of these people?
"Status?"
Xu Fanshi didn't dare to imagine.
The white-haired old man smiled: "It's really a person who does great things, he can hide these multi-soldier armor in this mountain forest, but he is a talent, and I ask you to help me block people, otherwise they may really let them escape." ”
Xu Cong said: "Seniors don't have to be polite, there are my eyeliner everywhere in this Cangya Mountain Range, I don't want you to appear, as long as you scrutinize a little, you can know the purpose of the seniors, and I don't do this to help the seniors, but that man is a big trouble in my heart, and I have a personal vendetta, and I hope that the seniors can solve it easily." ”
The white-haired old man nodded slightly and said, "As you wish." Third, I'll go first, and you guys will come later. ”
As soon as the words fell, the white-haired man disappeared in place, and then more than a dozen followers led by the middle-aged man also rushed quickly.
Xu Fanshi was surprised by the white-haired old man's astonishing speed, and he asked in disbelief, "Father, is that person a strong person?"
"Status? Xu Cong smiled indifferently, patted the shoulder of Xu Fanshi, who was a little stunned, and said, "Next, we will release the news of the appearance of the commander of Wohua Mountain, and wait for Zong Kun to make a move!"
It's a game after all!
