Chapter 160: The Man Who Blossoms
People say: The mountains and rivers are restored, and there is often no way forward;
When they are in a desperate situation, they always want someone to lend a helping hand, but if this person knows that the rescue will also trap them in a cage, or even perpetuate their desperate situation, almost no one will be willing to help.
They despair, they have lost their last hope, but they still hope for it. Everyone has a reverence for life, and they are not in awe of other people's lives, but in reverence for their own lives, because they do not know when and when they will be done.
They complained, they begged for mercy, but they could not be redeemed by anyone. Finally they saw a light, and they acknowledged it, and there was no doubt about it in this life.
Jiang Ming picked Meng Lang on his back, stabbed to death a few armor soldiers around him, and then quickly moved to Luo Hu and Chu Hong with the help of his body, and gently put Meng Lang down, and said to the three gently: "Leave it to me next." ”
Luo Hu said: "Are you alone?"
Jiang Ming said: "It's just me, I left the barracks after you set off, and after handling the task assigned to me by Mu Ya, I didn't worry about you, so I rushed here." ”
Chu Hong asked, "Why is it so fast? We set off at the same time, you still have time to deal with the task?"
Jiang Ming said: "I will talk about these things later, and I can't control the current situation, so I can only stop them first, and if I can defeat that eighth-stage martial arts master later, I will naturally have a way." ”
Luo Hu smiled bitterly: "Since you are not sure, why did you come?"
Jiang Ming smiled indifferently: "If you don't come, you will die." ”
But they all knew that even if Jiang Ming came, they might still die, and it was likely that one more person would die.
Jiang Ming stepped forward, the halberd stood in front of those armor soldiers, and Kou Xiuyong also stared at him from a distance, like a tiger hiding in the jungle.
Kou Xiuyong shouted: "I don't care who he is, today, what I want is the heads of Meng Lang, Chu Hong, and Luohu, if anyone can grab it, he will be rewarded with three thousand taels of silver." ”
Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men. I saw that in the team of armored soldiers, there were several soldiers who tried to get closer, but Jiang Ming still did not move, they approached again, but Jiang Ming still did not move, and when the road they raised fell, Jiang Ming's halberd also began to wave, and the halberd swept left and right, killing four people in an instant. The armor soldiers behind him also followed closely, swords, guns and axes fell one after another, the one who came was like a locust crossing the border, Jiang Ming's posture stood still, and anyone who tried to break through his defense in vain was all killed by Jiang Ming with a halberd. It's just a halberd, and even a few sixth-rank martial artists can't avoid it.
The armor soldiers continued to charge, as if they wanted to use their numbers to crush the enemy, but Jiang Ming's posture did not move at all, but the halberd reaped the lives of these armor soldiers again and again, and it seemed that no matter how dense the offensive was, it would not be able to break his defense, just like he was at the south gate of Jiangcheng a few months ago, and this halberd alone could look at the world.
Gradually, a hill of corpses piled up in front of him, and the blood flowed through the armor of the deceased, flowing in front of Jiang Ming's body, he did not have a trace of emotion, and these hundreds of armor soldiers were buried under Jiang Ming's halberd in this kind of fighting. And Jiang Ming's dusty cloth clothes were stained with crimson, and even his face was covered with blood, but fortunately, it was not his blood.
All the armored soldiers did not dare to move forward, and they all retreated and looked at Kou Xiuyong, who was waiting from afar, even if they were numerous, they couldn't fight Jiang Ming, so they believed that their generals had this ability, after all, he was the general in the Qin army, and in this army, he was only one level lower than the deputy governor and the vanguard, and the strength of the martial arts was in the eighth-stage position, this kind of character was the real main force of the battle.
Kou Xiuyong walked out slowly, without saying a word, he rushed over and fought with Jiang Ming, the former with a long knife for attack, slashing left and right, and trying his best to kill; A few rounds later, Kou Xiuyong grabbed the loophole in Jiang Ming's halberd, kicked Jiang Ming away with a reflexive kick, and actually slid more than ten meters on the fallen leaves, and finally smashed on a tree root to stop.
Luo Hu's eyes widened at the same time, they couldn't believe that they were all at the peak of the eighth rank, why did Jiang Ming lose in this short period of time, and from the outside, the gap between strength and weakness was so big, and the injured Jiang Ming on the other side was already spitting blood, obviously no longer had the strength to fight.
Kou Xiuyong said coldly: "From the first time I fought with you, I noticed that something was wrong, although I have the strength of the peak of the eighth rank, but it seems that I am strong in the middle, just a few battles with me, I feel that you are not strong enough, and I conclude that you are injured." I will send these armor soldiers to test you, and consume what little strength you have left, and you will have to fight to defend them, even if you can't hinder you under seven ranks, but how much strength do you have left? I want to ask you, can you still stand up at this time?"
Jiang Ming was injured, Luo Hu and Chu Hong both knew about it, they almost lost their lives in the poison of arrows, but they were sent to the battlefield just three or four days after waking up, and the injuries naturally could not be healed, and what they didn't know was that when Jiang Ming rushed here, he had already experienced a tragic battle with Hu Yanwu, and then he used the fragments of the Wasteland Ding to forcibly stabilize his injuries, but because of the lack of time and the bumpy road, he was able to recover
Regaining is only a small part of the ability. At the beginning, he forcibly rescued Meng Lang and fought with him for several rounds, and even in the eyes of outsiders, he won one and a half moves, but in fact, it was really as Kou Xiuyong said, in vain, he only had the appearance of being strong on the outside and doing things in the middle.
Jiang Ming slowly stood up, but only stood up, Kou Xiuyong's big knife slashed over again, Jiang Ming hurriedly used the halberd to block, but the huge eight-lead force still shook him back a few steps, at this time Kou Xiuyong no longer seemed to want to ask anything, he would not give up killing the enemy because of his curiosity, so that the opponent had the possibility of resurrection, he wanted to kill Jiang Ming like this.
"Juejiang!"
Jiang Ming drank vigorously, but saw a black horse rushing out of the armor soldiers, and the armor soldiers dodged everywhere they went, and some of the armor soldiers who reacted quickly stabbed out of the halberd, wanting to stab the crazy black horse to death on the spot, but the black horse seemed to understand spirituality, and when it landed, the four hooves suddenly opened, and the blocking armor soldiers and their weapons were all overturned, dozens of armor soldiers were in front, but no one could stop them.
This scene fell in Kou Xiuyong's eyes, angrily shouted at his subordinates, and then went to himself, it was a person who caught the horse's back, turned over and knocked it down, Juejiang horse's four hooves fluttered up, Kou Xiuyong was about to go out of the circle to hit, but Jiang Ming didn't know when he had come to Kou Xiuyong's eyes, only to hear the soft shout "Half Moon Step Lotus", Jiang Ming's halberd method went alone, slashing and stabbing more than ten moves in a row, forcing Kou Xiuyong back more than ten steps.
Jiang Ming used all his strength to show the last move, but at this moment he no longer had the ability to fight, he had to shout: "Hurry up, all get on the horse, Juejiang can take you out!" There is no master of the seventh or even eighth section among the armor soldiers, although the Juejiang horse is an animal, but when it comes to spirituality, it is not inferior to any primate, although it was knocked down by Kou Xiuyong before, but it did not hurt anything, and galloped up and lay down in front of Luohu and several people, the meaning of the horse is the same as Jiang Ming's meaning.
Luo Hu knew that this was Jiang Ming exchanging his life for the vitality of several of them, although he was sad, but he did not hesitate at all, helped Chu Hong and Huanziyu onto the horse, and pushed Meng Lang onto the horse, but at this time, there was no place for him to sit down on the horse. Luo Hu glanced at Jiang Ming, who was resisting Kou Xiuyong's killing move with one hand at this time, and directly grabbed Kou Xiuyong's ankle with the other, using this way to fight for them a chance to escape. "Dark Horse, please!"
Luo Hu snorted lightly, slapped on the horse's back, Juejiang horse was frightened and swept out, it may also have questions, why Luo Hu is reluctant to get on the horse, but the soldiers surrounded and killed it can no longer allow it to consider, although it also saw what Jiang Ming was suffering, but the four hooves still broke out of the armor soldiers.
"Damn, what's the use of killing you if they run away!"
Kou Xiuyong was furious, raised a kick and kicked Jiang Ming's head, and at the same time, with the help of Jiang Ming's short period of fainting, the long knife waved and knocked down the halberd in Jiang Ming's hand, and then his left fist smashed on his forehead without sparing, and then he grabbed his neck with one hand and lifted it up in the air, and the power of the eight lead suddenly threw him into the air, and then the long knife, which was already hungry and thirsty, was ready to pierce his heart. At this moment, Luo Hu pounced and deflected Jiang Ming in the air to other positions, avoiding being stabbed to death by Kou Xiuyong.
Kou Xiuyong did not stop because of this sudden change, but quickly dodged in front of Luo Hu, and slashed at Luo Hu's shoulder, almost chopping his arm directly, even if Luo Hu dodged a blow, but in his eyes there was no difference, his second slash came out again, this time he aimed at Luo Hu's neck, wanting to kill Luo Hu directly.
"Rescue the Commander!"
Suddenly, chaotic shouts mixed with the clanging of weapons came into Kou Xiuyong's ears, and he was the first to guard against the enemy, but seeing the feathered arrows flying in the air, it was simply difficult for him to parry, not to mention other ordinary armor soldiers, who were shot into hedgehogs. Kou Xiuyong didn't have many armor soldiers this time, but in order to consume Jiang Ming's physical strength, he directly gave the lives of more than 100 people to Jiang Ming, resulting in more than 100 people now.
When Kou Xiuyong hurriedly blocked, he saw black-clothed armored soldiers armed with bows and crossbows and guns rushing from all directions, and they were the uniforms of the soldiers and horses of Wohua Mountain, and there were about 1,000 people in the preliminary calculation. He expected that with such reinforcements coming, he would have no possibility of killing Luo Hu and Jiang Ming, so he braved the siege of the armor soldiers and killed Luo Hu again, but when his knife touched Luo Hu's head, the halberd was also thrown by Jiang Ming quickly, and the long knife was knocked away impartially.
Without weapons, Kou Xiuyong's combat power was lost half, and at the same time, he could not inflict fatal damage on Luohu in an instant, they were not like the soldiers and horses of Wohua Mountain, in addition to carrying their own weapons, all captains and above also held short knives at their waists in case of accidents, if there was a short knife, the situation would be different again.
"How can you still have the strength!" Kou Xiuyong really wanted to scold in his heart, it was really incomprehensible to Jiang Ming's strength that could be called a bottomless line, and he made such a move to defuse his killing move again, seeing the soldiers and horses from Wohua Mountain, and his accurate archers, he had to choose to retreat. But retreating would mean giving up the pursuit of the two, and everything he had done before would be in vain, but if he continued to pursue, those thousands of armor soldiers would surround and kill him, even if he was an eighth rank
The position also had to avoid its edge, and at that time, he was afraid that he would not even be able to take care of his own life.
Kou Xiu was unwilling to retreat, resisting the flying arrows as he retreated, and there were only a dozen of his men left in this extremely short period of time, which was enough to see that the combat ability of these armored soldiers in Wohua Mountain was extremely brave. When Kou Xiuyong gradually withdrew from the battlefield, he snatched the blade of the armor soldier beside him and threw it at Jiang Ming, which was the last means he could use, Jiang Ming couldn't dodge it and stabbed him in the chest.
Kou Xiuyong sneered and said, "I don't know if you will die in this way? If you can survive by luck, I look forward to fighting you in your heyday on the battlefield next time, Jiang Ming, right? I remember you." ”
"Jiang Ming!"
"General Jiang Ming!"
Du Henghe, who was waiting on the periphery, noticed the fight here, and concluded that it might be Luo Hu and others who were besieged, so he led the army to support in time, fortunately, there were many archers of the eighth battalion among his soldiers and horses, and even in the chaos of the army, they would not shoot their own people, so he dared to order them to shoot arrows.
Although they repelled Kou Xiuyong in this battle, they were afraid that the martial arts master of the eighth rank would come again, so they directly took Jiang Ming and Luohu, who were seriously injured, and walked away, and on the way, they also happened to meet Chu Hong, Meng Lang, and Huanziyu who were carried by the black horse of Juejiang.
Four days after the battle, Jiang Ming woke up from his slumber. His injuries were extremely serious, almost hanging on to his breath, Kou Xiuyong's last knife was stabbed in Jiang Ming's chest, according to Doctor Zhou, it hurt his heart and could not be treated, but he still woke up, and he couldn't wake up miraculously.
It was still a familiar face, Chen Yiche and Chen Xinxue were standing next to him, Mu Ya sat in front of the couch, and after giving him a glass of water to drink, Jiang Ming also felt a little more comfortable, at least not like before, when he even felt pain in his sleep.
Mu Ya said: "Now I can be sure that you are indeed not an ordinary person. ”
Jiang Ming gasped heavily, and said weakly, "What do you want to say?"
Chen Xinxue had tears in her eyes, but said with a smile: "Second brother, do you know? Doctor Zhou has been in the camp for the past two days, and he said that your injury has already damaged Dao's heart, and there is a great possibility that you will not survive. Even the last time you were stabbed by the mysterious man in black, the injuries were not as serious as this time, and we were all about to give up on you, but it was Brother Mu and the Six Commanders who strongly asked you to recuperate, so that you could avoid being transported out as a corpse. ”
Jiang Ming smiled bitterly: "That's really heavy." ”
Mu Ya said: "It's not very heavy, at least your body's self-healing ability can still be restored, it can be seen how extraordinary you are, no wonder you dare to fight so desperately." ”
Jiang Ming still smiled bitterly, but at this time, he couldn't say anything except a bitter smile.
After a while, Lin Han and Liang Jin also rushed over, and after giving Jiang Ming some condolences, they invited Doctor Zhou for treatment again, but Doctor Zhou concluded that he could not confirm the severity of Jiang Ming's injury, and everyone had to let Jiang Ming heal himself.
Jiang Ming asked, "What about them, are they okay?"
They were not referring to outsiders, but to his brothers.
Lin Han said: "I'm all awake, but because of my serious injuries, I can't come to see you." The eldest son was hit by three arrows in the chest, and although they were not critical, the burns and knife wounds all over his body prevented him from getting out of bed. Miss Huanziyu was seriously injured in the battle with Su Jie, but it was a good thing that she did not hurt her muscles and bones except for a knife wound, and she was the least burned by the fire, so she could barely move soon. The burns and knife wounds on Luo Hu's body were also very serious, and the knife on his shoulder was extremely heavy by Kou Xiuyong, if it wasn't for Du Henghe's timely handling, maybe his arm would have been broken, and he is now being taken care of by Butterfly Girl. As for Mengzi, his body is very strong, although the burn wound is serious, but the injury can recover quickly, and he can barely stay at noon today, but there is something wrong with him. ”
Jiang Ming said: "Meng Lang, what is the problem? Could it be because of his epidemic?"
Lin Han sighed in a low voice and said, "That's right, after he woke up, he shouted that we were not allowed to enter the camp, and all those who came into contact with him must be supervised and dealt with, even if we discussed with him outside the camp, he didn't have the slightest intention of relenting, as if he wanted to die directly in the camp." Liang Jin and I forced our way in, but he threatened us with death and told us to withdraw. Alas, we are now thinking about what to do. ”
Jiang Ming paused and said, "What can I do, hurry up and force him to be treated, if there is no cure, I will go to ask the white-haired doctor again to go to the senior, I can't watch him die." Also, I also came into contact with him when I rescued him, and you should not have close contact with me, and I will apply medicine to this injury in the future. ”
Doctor Zhou said suddenly: "General Jiang Ming, you can rest assured, although I can't solve the epidemic, but I can detect the difference between the blood of the epidemic patient and normal people, the fourth commander, the eighth commander and Miss Huan have no abnormality, of course, general, you are not infected, so you can rest assured." ”
At this time, Mu Ya suddenly looked at Jiang Ming, Jiang Ming suddenly remembered something, and forcibly summoned Yu Ruyi with spiritual power, because it appeared directly on his chest, covered by the quilt, so no one noticed the appearance of this thing.
