The rolling hills are littered with traces of war, but before time and nature have time to repair them, a new round of war initiated by humans has already begun. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The military commander on Deng Mianhao's side was Liu Yichong, while Zheng Puming's side was played by Huo Yiben. The two of them were immediately in the formation of the two armies, one holding a lacquered steel spear and the other holding a snow-bright silver hook.

Liu Yichong was wearing a black beast-faced battle armor, but he was wearing a fiery red beast head mask that had never appeared on weekdays, and with his red hair, he was like a demon born in the world.

I can't say what material the mask is made of, but it reflects a brilliant sheen in the sunlight. The most peculiar thing is that at the position of Liu Yichong's nose, the mask shape forms a sharp horn, which is upturned like a rhinoceros horn, which is the length of a human middle finger. In fact, this is Liu Yichong's soul pattern ability, and his name is the horn of the flame beast.

"Nameless young general, report your name! It's also good for me Liu Yichong to know who the soul of the dead is who is about to die under my double hook. ”

"Chang Yu, Huo Yiben of the Huo clan."

"Hmph, the hillbilly can also lead troops to fight this year, it seems that since the defeat of the second prince two years ago, even his brain has been completely broken." Liu Yichong didn't finish speaking, and drove his horse to Huo Yiben, a pair of silver hooks in his hands as dazzling as a crescent moon piercing through the dark night clouds.

Huo Yiben's horizontal spear was immediately ready for battle, and his eyes hid a tenacity that was harder than a steel gun. When Liu Yichong's war horse rushed to the front, he flew as if he had stabbed a shot. The spear spun and whirled, whipping up a whirlwind that seemed like nothing, smashing the air like glass.

Liu Yichong is also a fierce general who has experienced a hundred battles, and he immediately felt the speed of Huo Yiben's marksmanship. It was too late for him to set up the silver hook, so he used the sharp horns of the beast's head mask to top it. The moment the spear head and sharp horn collided together, Liu Yichong's soul pattern energy also burst out. The temperature of the Flame Beast's horn rose rapidly, and eventually it became no different from molten iron. Two puffs of heat erupted from his nostrils, and the horns of the flame beast let out a roar like a giant beast. The power that erupted at that moment was amazing, causing Huo Yiben to retreat several meters backwards with his men and horses, and even the spear head in his hand was melted by the high temperature.

At this time, Liu Yichong waved a pair of silver hooks in his hand, and quickly rotated around his five fingers, forming a wheel-like whirlwind from both sides. Huo Yiben had already done his best just to deal with the horns of the flame beast, and he had no intention of being wary at all. Fortunately, there was a spear distance between the two, and Liu Yichong's double hooks were restricted and could not touch Huo Yiben's body. Rao is like this, and with a wave of the pair of silver hooks, he immediately cut off the horse's head under Huo Yiben's crotch. The body of the horse that lost its head tilted to one side, and Huo Yiben also fell off the horse.

"Come on!" Liu Yichong drove the horse to follow, and he was about to kill the opponent.

Huo Yiben inserted the twisted and deformed tip of the spear into the soil under his feet, and flipped it upwards violently, and the broken soil and sand mixed with small stones flew on the face of the horse under Liu Yichong's crotch. The horse lost its eyes and immediately lost its square inch in a panic, and the horse's head turned and exposed its flanks. Huo Yiben inserted the steel gun into the ground again, held it with both hands as a boost, and the whole person flew into the air, kicked Liu Yichong's waist and abdomen on the left side with both feet, kicked him off the horse's back, and fell on the grass full of horseshoe prints.

Liu Yichong dropped a silver hook in the process of falling, and was picked up with a gun by Huo Yiben, who came later, and flew back. Liu Yichong, who fell to the ground, was defenseless, and the silver hook was piercing into his lower back, deep into the bone. He still wanted to get up and resist, but he was just powerless, so he had to stare at a pair of unwilling eyes to accept the reality.

A white horse galloped like the wind, and immediately one of them was Lu Liang, another confidant of Deng Mianhao. He was armed with a crimson long-handled hook scythe, and his purple armor was majestic.

Huo Yiben heard the sound of horses' hooves and looked sideways. Lu Liangma was fast, he had already arrived in front of him, and with a flash of the blade, he collided with Huo Yiben's steel gun, making a clanging sound! The horse's hooves galloped forward, and the ferocious momentum drove Lu Liang's blade, pushing Huo Yiben more than ten meters away, but he still couldn't catch it after all, and the whole person left the ground with both feet and flew upside down for several meters before stopping. At this time, on the grass between the two, there were already two mud pits that were dragged into deep depth.

"I didn't expect there to be such a capable person in the army of the second prince. Brat! Your marksmanship is good, but it's a pity that you don't have a blade to take advantage of. Fang is Brother Liu's carelessness will be defeated by you, and now I Lu Liang will fight with you. Look at the knives! ”

Lu Liang drove the horse to kill again, his soul pattern ability was activated instantly, his already small eyes narrowed into a thin slit, and the corners of his mouth were also curved upward, like a cat bathed in the sun and enjoying himself. He made this expression on purpose, because it was inextricably related to his soul pattern ability.

Hi-noodle Lang! This is the name of Lu Liang's soul pattern ability. It is an ability that can only be exercised if you have to keep smiling, and it can also be said to be a talent. When Lu Liang had a smile on his face, the soul pattern energy would be transformed into strength and agility, attached to his body. The longer you keep smiling, the more your abilities improve.

Completely different from the previous knife, Huo Yi could clearly feel the heaviness conveyed by Lu Liang's blade. It's not the weight of a blade, it's an energy that comes from the depths of life. That energy transcends the physical body and does not really exist in the world, but it can stir up waves in the heart, and has the power to shatter an entire soul.

There was only a steel rod in his hand that was twisted and deformed, and even the sharp edge no longer existed. Huo Yi knew that he could no longer take the knife, so he turned sideways and held the spear up in front of his chest to dodge. Lu Liang slashed into the air with a knife, the blade kept in the air, flipped and swung horizontally, and hit Huo Yiben's gun. Another bang! Huo Yiben's palm holding the body of the gun suddenly felt numb, and he staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground. Lu Liang's knife was several times more powerful than before, and it had reached a level where the human body could not withstand it.

Lu Liang was about to swing his knife and kill Huo Yiben, when he heard someone shouting: "General Huo beware!" Jiang Yiping is here. ”

A single knife slashed down from the oblique stab, Lu Liang turned around and picked up the hook and sickle, his face couldn't help frowning, and the soul pattern ability was immediately lifted.

Jiang Yifang had already seen Lu Liang's sword technique, and knew that he was not an opponent, and he must not give the other party any respite. So he gritted his teeth, and a fierce energy welled up in his heart, and he waved the blade in his hand lifelessly. In close-range combat, his single knife is much better than Lu Liang's hook and sickle, so he can completely suppress his opponent and be invincible for a while. When the two were in the middle of the fierce fight, Huo Yi had already turned over from the ground and stood up, and his position happened to be behind Lu Liang, so he inserted the spear in his hand into the groin of the war horse under Lu Liang's crotch.

A heart-wrenching neighing came from the horse's mouth, and the fellow's eyes immediately turned red, and he galloped forward like a mad cow. Lu Liang on the horse couldn't react, and the whole person was thrown into the air from the horse. Jiang Yiping took advantage of the situation to slash his waist and abdomen, and Huo Yiben also jumped up in mid-air to grab his blade.

Lu Liang clenched the hook and sickle in the air, but his waist and abdomen were slashed by Jiang Yiping, and the gold ring belt tied around his waist was broken in two, revealing the skin and flesh in the armor. Jiang Yiping flew off his horse and stabbed straight with a knife, but was kicked in the wrist by Lu Liang and failed to succeed. However, Huo Yiben on the side waited for the opportunity, reached out and pulled out the silver dagger on Lu Liang's broken belt, and stabbed it into his neck.

At this time, in Deng Mianhao's camp, the sharpshooter general Bai Renpeng couldn't bear his mood. Seeing the tragic death of his two colleagues at the hands of the enemy, he immediately ordered the standard-bearers to raise the black banner of an all-out attack. At the same time, he uses his Soul Pattern Ability Seed Bow to shoot an arrow into the air.

This arrow is not an ordinary soldier's feather arrow, but a seed arrow conjured from the energy of the soul pattern. Because it is the soul pattern of the tree wind plant, the arrows shot through his seed bow will absorb the life energy of the plant itself. It's like a plant that absorbs sunlight and rain and thrives.

Seed arrows that fly into the air are not used to attack enemies, but instead explode in the air, turning into dust that cannot be distinguished by the naked eye. It flies like a dandelion seed scattered in the wind, and then travels through the respiratory tract into the body of your own soldiers. This seed dust can greatly improve the combat ability of soldiers, and even has the effect of refreshing the mind. Even a deserter who is afraid of death will immediately become combative after inhaling.

In the face of Deng Mianhao's overwhelming army, Huo Yiben and the others had no choice but to retreat. When he went out of the battle, he took 3,000 men and horses, and when he rushed back to the Shiyabi Chain Bridge, there were only more than 700 people left. Although he killed two enemy generals, from the perspective of the overall situation, this battle was still a complete fiasco.

"What!? An unknown young general actually killed Lu Liang and Liu Yichong. Deng Mianhao sat on a chair covered with tiger skin with a wine glass, and the expression on his face was very angry.

"It's what my subordinates have seen with their own eyes, and there will be no mistake." Bai Peng replied truthfully.

"Where is he from? What is your name? ”

"Chang Yu Huo people, called Huo Yiben."

"What weapon did he use?"

"A steel gun. Although marksmanship is good, it is not a good weapon. When Liu Yichong fought with him, he only used the horn of the flame beast to destroy his spear head. But even if this man falls off his horse, he will resist desperately, and he is a warrior who will not give up until he dies in battle. ”

"Where are they retreating now?"

"In the mountains behind the stone tooth wall."

"Why don't you take someone across the bridge to chase it?"

"The terrain in the mountains is complex and not suitable for large-scale operations. If we move forward hastily, we will lose the advantage of encirclement. ”

Deng Mianhao stared at the ceiling with his back and put the wine glass in his hand aside, "Wanshan Road...... Wanshan Road ...... When I followed the emperor here, it was still a small and inconspicuous city-state, not to mention the regular army, and even the defenders in the city were less than a thousand people. Unexpectedly, through the management of the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince, it turned out to be a natural danger that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

Bai Peng said: "The general...... Do we want to find a way to contact Feng Huwen and form a flanking attack on these remnants? ”

Deng Mianhao's face immediately changed, and the anger that had been pent up in his cavity turned into a roar: "Don't mention Feng Huwen's name to me again!" Otherwise, I'll behead you first. ”

Bai Renpeng hurriedly knelt down on one knee, "Yes, my subordinates are guilty." ”

Deng Mianhao picked up the wine glass again and drank it dry in one gulp. He looked at Bai Ren Peng with irritable eyes and said, "Pass on my military order, the whole army should retreat thirty miles, and give the enemy enough space to set up a formation." Tomorrow morning, I will meet this Huo Yiben in person. ”
