Volume 1 Ghost Town Chapter 39 Outside Shangyang City

Fang Zhiping suddenly rushed out, which caught Mo Yan a little off guard.

He stood in place with the slaughter in his hand, hesitating.

Then, he thought of quietness, thought of Yue Fangfei, and thought of those students who died last night......

He felt that if they were here, they would make the same choice as Fang Zhiping.

So many people who could have lived well are not afraid of death, why are they afraid of a person who may die at any time?

He looked down at the slaughter in his hand, then let out a long breath, and also followed Fang Zhiping to rush towards the cavalry.

I saw that after Fang Zhiping went up the mountain, he jumped up, a cavalryman was caught off guard, and was directly killed on the spot by a sword, while Fang Zhiping rushed into the formation and stood with Su Mingrui and others.

This team did not have any impact because of Fang Zhiping's appearance, and quickly filled the vacant position and surrounded Fang Zhiping in the center.

The battle between the army and the cultivator are two completely different concepts, and the battle between the cultivators is often more inclined to victory or defeat, while the battle between the armies is focused on life and death, and often only one face is needed to decide life and death.

Either you die or the other person dies.

After the Chaotian Empire, the army even launched a combat method specifically for cultivators, and the effect was remarkable, so this combat method was borrowed by many countries and tried and tested repeatedly.

At this moment, I saw that the general retreated to the periphery of the team, and then ten people from each team began to rush towards Su Mingrui and the others in a closed circle. At the same time as these ten people rushed out, ten more people drove forward, preparing for the next round of rushing killing.

Obviously, this army wants to drag down Su Mingrui and others with a life-for-name style of play.

Not to mention that this method is only used to deal with a few cultivators who have not yet entered the class, even if it is used to deal with the strong people who have reached the class, it has a very good effect.

The difference is that the strong people of the upper class can already fly in the sky, as long as they don't love war, they can directly leave the battlefield, while Su Mingrui and others can only passively meet the enemy until their vitality is exhausted.

After Mo Yan rushed up the hill, he did not rush directly into the field, but stopped, observing the direction of the battle situation and looking for opportunities at the same time.

He knew very well that rushing into the formation like this would not change anything at all, although he had a sword and a talisman, he could only barely use each of them once, and the sooner he used it, the faster he would die.

I saw that Su Mingrui and the others began to undergo slight changes under the rush of this team, although it was not obvious, but as long as they looked closely, they could find that their movements were much slower.

Mo Yan could find out, and so could the Commander, and this was exactly what he wanted.

I saw that he raised his hand, and without even saying anything, the number of people who rushed to kill directly changed from ten to eight.

Eight people rushed up, and were quickly killed by Su Mingrui and others, and Su Mingrui and others were already covered in blood, and the blood on the long sword was constantly dripping, and the original yellow sand had been dyed red, which was extremely eye-catching under the newborn morning sun.

Mo Yan knew very well that if this continued, there would soon be casualties on the academy's side, and his eyes were fixed on the commander.

Capture the thief and capture the king first, shoot the man and shoot the horse first, this is the eternal truth, as long as the leader of the other party is controlled, or he is killed, not to mention that this team must be scattered, but at least it can disrupt the layout of this team, so as to give Su Mingrui and others a chance to escape.

As long as Su Mingrui and the others get out of the formation, not to mention killing the other party, they can at least escape.

The keen sense of smell cultivated by the battlefield made the general quickly discover Mo Yan, and he also felt the meaning in Mo Yan's eyes. His brows furrowed slightly, his wrist flipped over, and several horses suddenly walked out of the formed team, and then the three horsemen formed a small team, the horses' hooves moved, rolled up the yellow sand, and rushed towards Mo Yan.

Mo Yan looked at the approaching cavalry, and at the same time quickly thought about how to deal with it in his mind.

The two cavalrymen got closer and closer, and in a blink of an eye, they came to Mo Yan, who had no time to think.

He handed the slaughter in his hand forward, and then flipped his wrist, only to see the slaughter turn quickly, and a pitch-black word "fierce" appeared out of thin air, and then spun and collided towards the two horses.

At the same time, Mo Yan carried the slaughter, his body quickly disappeared in place, and he rushed directly towards the general at the fastest speed.

Mo Yan came so quickly that the general didn't have time to react.

I saw Mo Yan's feet glaring, and the whole person rose in the air, holding the slaughter with both hands, and smashed down on the head of the general.

After all, this general is a veteran of the battlefield, although he was not panicked, he slapped the horse's back with the palm of his right hand, and the whole person flew out directly backwards, just dodging Mo Yan's blow, and the war horse that had been fighting with him for many years was really smashed on the back, and after a neigh, the whole thing was soft to the ground, dying.

The general landed on the yellow sand, looked at his beloved war horse on the ground, and was dripping blood in distress.

He shouted coldly, "Kill him!"

This angry shout made the cavalry surrounding Su Mingrui turn their heads, and they seemed a little hesitant for a while.

They had followed this general to fight in the north and south for many years, and it was the first time they had seen him get so angry, and they didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Do you abandon these enemies who are about to die of exhaustion and kill the boy, or do you kill these people first and then kill the boy?

Su Mingrui also noticed the changes in the other party, although he had little experience in dealing with the enemy, he still knew when to take the lead. The long sword in his hand turned, and at the same time he said loudly: "Quickly meet Mo Yan." ”

The rest of the people, except for Fang Zhiping, are all students who have studied in the academy for many years, and they are much higher than ordinary people in terms of strength and mentality, so they can seize the opportunity at a critical moment.

Everyone shot together, from passive to active.

Originally, everyone couldn't see the hope of survival, but now that Mo Yan appeared, they finally saw a glimmer of life, so everyone burst out with extremely strong combat effectiveness, and in the blink of an eye, everyone rushed out of the encirclement and stood behind Mo Yan.

was got rid of it by everyone, and the cavalry quickly came back to their senses, quickly gathered the team, and approached this side, because the commander was very close to Mo Yan at the moment, so he could not form an encirclement, let alone continue the previous charge, which made the tired people finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Su Mingrui blamed himself: "It's all my fault, I still despise this cavalry and burden you." ”

Everyone shook their heads, "Senior Brother Su, don't say that. ”

Su Mingrui looked at the situation around him, and continued: "Although Senior Brother Mo has given us a chance to breathe, if we want to get rid of this team, there is still not much hope......

Mo Yan, who was already pale, swallowed a sip of wine and said, "I observed just now, these people are not strong, but when they cooperate with each other, it is difficult to deal with them, and the only way is to separate them and then break them one by one." ”

One student shook his head, "It's hard. These people are carefully selected from the army, and then after a long period of training, they can become a qualified scout, and in terms of combat effectiveness, they are far from being comparable to ordinary armies. ”

Su Mingrui nodded.

After some fighting, Fang Zhiping also regained his composure, and said in a low voice: "It would be nice if I could snatch the war horse." ”

Mo Yan shook his head and said, "These war horses have also been trained for a long time, and except for their owners, it is difficult for ordinary people to control. ”

Su Mingrui glanced at the general not far away, and he had no idea for a while, so he asked: "If we kill him, although it can create chaos for a short time, I believe that someone will fill it up soon, and the effect will not be great." ”

Mo Yan raised his eyes to look at the other party and said in a deep voice: "That's better than sitting still." ”

Su Mingrui was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "That's right." Senior Brother Mo is not in good health, so I left the two of them to protect him and Senior Brother Fang, and the rest worked with me to try to kill the other party as quickly as possible, and then waited for the opportunity to move. ”

After saying that, he slammed into the other party, and almost at the same moment, the remaining students also shot at the same time.

Pulling a hair and moving the whole body, many cavalry directly abandoned their war horses and rushed towards everyone, trying to block Su Mingrui and others, and countless crossbows shot out in volleys, raining down on everyone.

It's just a pity that it's late.

After all, Su Mingrui and the others are cultivators, and they are still swordsmen who are famous for their killing power, so many swordsmen are determined to kill one person, not to mention that this person is just an ordinary general, even if he is a class powerhouse, it is difficult to escape from Ascension.

The general couldn't believe that he was dead when he was dying.

He had thought of many ways to die, but he never thought that he would die in such a place, at the hands of such a few young men.

After killing this general, Su Mingrui directly shouted: "Run!"

Everyone rushed down the hill quickly.

After a brief loss of consciousness, all the cavalry quickly came to their senses, and then someone roared loudly: "Intercept them and avenge the general!"

The soldiers on their horses rode in pursuit, and those who had broken away from their horses quickly turned over and got on their horses and followed closely behind.

On the desert, a chase began.

Su Mingrui and the others are all cultivators, although they can't fly in the air, but they are extremely fast, looking at it from a distance, it looks like they can't touch the ground, and the speed of the pursuing team is not slow, biting everyone tightly, and from time to time they will seize the opportunity to shoot a wave of arrows.

The chase didn't last long, and the academy was soon surrounded by this team.

After this team caught up with everyone, they probably didn't want Su Mingrui and the others to die happily, so they didn't shoot directly, but just surrounded everyone in the center and drove them away with a crossbow.

Everyone, including Su Mingrui, was already too tired, and at this moment, they had to guard against arrows that could be fatal at any time, which was simply miserable. And Mo Yan and Fang Zhiping were almost unstable on their feet, and although they tried their best to suppress them, their legs were still trembling.

Su Mingrui looked at everyone and asked with a smile, "Are you afraid?"

A student smiled and shook his head, "What is there to be afraid of, I am originally from the Tang Kingdom, I can kill a few Southern Barbarians before I die, and I earn it, I just hate that I can't join the army and kill a few more of them." ”

Fang Zhiping also said emotionally: "I am also from the Tang Kingdom, and I originally told my cousin that when I came out of the academy, I would go to the border army to find him, but now I just died on the battlefield in advance." ”

Su Mingrui nodded and said, "Okay, then we will kill it happily, in the way of a Tang man, even if he dies, he can't make these southern barbarians look down on." ”

Everyone was ready to die, and even Mo Yan felt a surge of blood in his chest, which could gush out at any time.

However, at this time, the army suddenly appeared out of thin air, swept up the yellow sand, and rushed towards this side.

This team came so suddenly that the cavalry of the Song Kingdom were a little panicked, and the war horses under their crotches were also restless in the sound of horses' hooves like thunder.

After this team approached, countless arrows spilled out, and countless cavalry fell in response, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of the cavalry of the Song Kingdom had been killed or wounded.

Su Mingrui fended off those arrows while observing the surrounding terrain, and then shouted, "Hurry up the mountain on the left." ”

All the students supported Mo Yan and Fang Zhiping, and quickly climbed towards the top of the mountain, and at the same time had to be distracted to push away those sword rains, but the sword rain was too dense, and soon some students were hit by arrows.

The student who was holding Fang Zhiping was shot in the calf by an arrow, his feet slipped, and he rolled down the hill with Fang Zhiping, but fortunately, Su Mingrui's eyes were quick, he grabbed Fang Zhiping with his left hand, and inserted the long sword in his right hand into the loess, so that the two of them did not roll into the foot of the mountain that had become a battlefield at this moment.

Below, two teams wearing different types of armor were completely entangled, and the ground was filled with the corpses of both sides just by looking at each other.

However, with the kung fu of tea, more than 30 Song army scouts have been slaughtered, and the soldiers on the Tang side are holding war knives, and some are using war knives to pick the heads of the enemy soldiers, roaring loudly.

For them, that's their greatest glory.

A general in a red robe rode on horseback, looked up at the people halfway up the mountainside, first frowned, and then asked loudly, "How many are the students of Boundless Academy?"

After Su Mingrui pulled the two up, he pulled the long sword out of the loess, hugged his fists and said, "Su Mingrui, the chief disciple of the Nanxi Sword Pavilion of the Boundless Academy, thank you for saving your life. ”

The old general smiled and waved his hand, "I have a relationship with you Mr. Li, so I don't need to thank you." By the way, aren't you supposed to be training in Tianmu Mountain, how did you get here?"

Su Mingrui continued: "I encountered an accident on the way and was separated from the academy. ”

The old general nodded, and then spoke: "If you don't dislike it, you might as well go with us, it just so happens that we are going back to Shangyang City in the east to resume our lives, so we can take care of it." ”

Su Mingrui hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "This is very good, my junior brothers are not lightly injured, and there is General Lao." ”

After speaking, he supported the injured colleague and walked down the mountain.

After getting closer, Mo Yan found that the old general was a little familiar, and after thinking for a long time, he realized that it was the old man who led many veterans to re-enlist when he was on the desert.

The old man also recognized Mo Yan and the others, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Mr. Li's senior apprentice, it seems that we are quite fateful." ”

Su Mingrui said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet a general here, if it weren't for the general, my junior brother and I would have to explain here today." ”

The old general smiled and said: "We also got the news that there is a scout from the Song Kingdom operating in this area, so we asked for an order to come and investigate, if it weren't for you, I can't say that they slipped away again this time." ”

He glanced at the corpses on the ground and sighed: "It's good now, if you catch these guys, the pressure on the entire border will be reduced a lot." ”

After speaking, the old man glanced at Mo Yan, then turned over and dismounted, and asked, "Dare to ask if this is Mo Gongzi?"

Mo Yan was stunned for a moment and nodded.

The old general knelt directly on the ground, his voice trembling a little because of excitement, "Zhang Zhidong, the former captain of the Zhennan military vehicle, see the little young master!"

Everyone was taken aback by his actions, especially the soldiers, who didn't know what to do with themselves for a while.

Mo Yan was the first to come back to his senses, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up, and said at the same time: "The old general is such a big gift, the younger generation can't afford it!"

Zhang Zhidong got up, burst into tears, and said excitedly: "The old man never thought that he would be able to meet the little master in his lifetime, even if he died, he would have no regrets." ”

He looked Mo Yan up and down, and said with a smile: "The little young master has grown up, good, it's good!"

As if knowing everyone's doubts, Zhang Zhidong wiped a handful of old tears and said with a smile: "When I first joined the army, I followed General Mo, that is, your grandfather, the old lady of the Mo family. Later, General Mo entered the court, and I followed your father, who has always been a former lieutenant. Later, the southern war was pacified, General Mo also died on the battlefield, and our veterans were also discharged. Now that I can see that the little young master is safe and sound, and he has entered the Boundless Academy, I am very pleased, and I believe that the general will be relieved if he has knowledge. ”

Only then did everyone understand, and all the soldiers dismounted, knelt on the ground, and said in unison: "See Mo Gongzi!"

The sound is like spring thunder, deafening.

On the academy's side, everyone was already shocked beyond measure. They never thought that Mo Yan would have such an identity.

The Yanjing Mo family, as long as the Tang people with a little family background, know what kind of existence it is.

This made Mo Yan feel a little embarrassed, and after letting all the soldiers get up, he was pulled aside by the old general, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, which made Mo Yan feel very moved, not because someone cared about him, but because someone still remembered his father, the man who died on the battlefield in the south for the Tang Kingdom, the father who had never even met a few times and had forgotten his voice.

And that man died in Shangyang City in the east, along with many ordinary Tang men.

......

......

All the way to the east, I encountered several Song troops on the way, but they were all wandering stragglers who were scattered by the big war, and they soon became the military exploits of this team, and the journey was quite stable.

After walking day and night for about two days, he finally came to the outside of Shangyang City.

Shangyang City is not a big city, according to the records of the local chronicles, the most prosperous time is only about 40,000 people, these two years of war and turmoil, has been completely deserted, only a few years ago people have returned to their hometowns, but a few years of stability, the Song Kingdom and the north, now I am afraid that it is an empty city.

Although Shangyang City is not big, but the geographical location is extremely important, once Shangyang City misses, it is equivalent to opening the entire northern gate, and the enemy army can drive straight into Yanjing City.

Similarly, as long as Shangyang City is guarded, it is equivalent to guarding the gate of the Tang Kingdom.

Of course, there are two other cities like Shangyang City, one is Tianshui City in the west, but there is Wuya Academy in charge, and the two countries have been fighting back and forth over the years, and they have deliberately avoided this city.

In addition to Tianshui City, there is also the White Emperor City under Tianmu Mountain in the east, which is the main place where the two countries fought this time.

Mo Yan turned over and dismounted, and walked towards Shangyang City.

The escorting army stopped, and everyone watched the young man move forward step by step, and then knelt on the loess and kowtowed three times to the battle-hardened city.

On this day, it happened to be Qingming, but there was no rain.
