Chapter 70
Two years have passed in a hurry, and Huo Yiben has become completely accustomed to the life of Wanshan Road. Zheng Puming, the www.biquge.info lord of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, has always stayed in Wanshan City, and on weekdays, all affairs are ordered by Ban Pinren, but he has lived a peaceful and stable life. However, on this day, he encountered something unimaginable in his life.
"I know you've always liked me, Brother Yiben, that's why I feel like I'm really sorry for you. I'll admit that before I met Ban-sama, I did think that I would live with you for the rest of my life. But now, my heart completely belongs to the class and I am always concerned about him. I hope you can understand my intentions and don't hold a grudge against me because of me. Huo Cuicui sat on the woolen blanket and poured out her heart, and there were only two people in the tent, her and Huo Yiben.
Huo Yiben has liked Huo Cuicui since he was a child, but his personality is not good at expressing himself, although Huo Cuicui knows his intentions, but no one between the two has been able to break through this matter. Listening to Huo Cuicui's words today, he suddenly felt as shocked as if the mountains were collapsing and the tide was covering the sky. In the past, when she was in the Huo tribe, she was still an innocent girl, but now after more than two years of war and the outside world, she has changed her face and grown into a mature girl who is no longer familiar with Huo Yiben. No! Maybe it's not an exaggeration to say that she is a mature woman.
Huo Yiben's silent appearance looked so terrifying, which made Huo Cuicui not even dare to breathe, and the two of them sat quietly like this.
"Outside the camp to report an emergency! The army of the Black Axe Knights is attacking. Report an emergency outside the camp! The army of the Black Axe Knights is attacking. ”
Huo Yiben stood up from the woolen blanket suddenly, and Huo Cuicui hurriedly followed, and the atmosphere between the two disappeared at once, as if nothing had happened.
"How could it be so sudden......" Huo Cuicui covered her mouth with her hands in panic.
"What should come will always come...... Huo Yi didn't follow in the middle of his words, and the last half he said in his heart, "I'm worried that I have no place to vent, and they came at the right time." So saying, he strode out of the tent with his spear.
The Black Axe Knights were already famous on the mainland during the lifetime of the first emperor, and their leader, Feng Huwen, was a brave and skilled veteran. One of his most famous battles was the conquest of the barbarians in the south with the first emperor. At that time, although the other party was small in number, it hijacked the food and grass of the officers and soldiers several times because of their familiarity with the terrain. The people bred by the poor mountains and bad waters are simply more fierce than tigers and leopards, and the officers and soldiers once fell into a situation where everyone was in danger. And those barbarians who can sneak up at any time are like demons in hell, ghosts everywhere.
The first emperor tried to boost the morale of the army and personally led the stormtroopers to fight the barbarians, but was besieged by the calculations of the other party. At the critical moment, Feng Huwen led the Black Axe Knights, which were less than 1,000 people at that time, to tear a hole in the group of people, and immediately led more than half of his men to kill a way out of the group after saving the first emperor. However, the other party had already set up a heavy ambush on the way to escape, and the Black Axe Knights almost fought until the entire army was annihilated.
In the end, Feng Huwen took the initiative to stay, and fought alone against the enemy army for nearly three hours on a narrow mountain road that only allowed one horse to pass. Until reinforcements arrived to disperse the barbarians, not a single soldier crossed him to pursue the emperor.
Such a legendary general is now leading his knights outside the barracks. Their soldiers wore black leather armor, their horses wore black vests, and black tomahawk flags were erected behind them, and their fighting spirit swept through the whole world like a black hurricane.
The corps under the command of Ban Pinren was stationed thirty miles away from Shiyabi. It's a hilly area with endless turquoise turf as far as the eye can see, and when the sun shines and the breeze blows, it feels like paradise on earth. But now with the arrival of the Black Axe Knights, the style of painting has changed immediately.
Not long after, Ban Pinren led Huo Yiben and Jiang Yiping out of the camp to set up. Compared to a regular army like the Black Axe Knights, their own side is as embarrassing as a donkey meeting a horse. The militiamen armed with shabby blades were unkempt, and there were even elderly people in their sixties, which was simply miserable.
Seeing that the enemy army was so broken, Feng Huwen immediately glared at the messenger beside him. The messenger rode up between the two armies and shouted: "You were originally grass people in the countryside, and now you are following Zheng Puming to rebel against the country, which is disrespectful to the previous emperor and the current emperor." If you are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, immediately put down the weapons in your hands, and I, the Black Axe Knights, will adopt a policy of not killing and send you back to your homeland safely. ”
Someone's mind is shaken, someone is determined, and all this comes out of their eyes. No one wants to die! No one wants to sacrifice their lives for the honor and disgrace of others! When Huo Yiben felt this, the chestnut-haired horse under his seat had already rushed into two formations.
"Hey! Come back......" Jiang Yiping just shouted behind him, and was immediately stopped by Ban Pinren raising his hand, "Let him go!" This battle is inevitable. Let's take a look at Brother Huo's skills. ”
Jiang Yiping said hurriedly: "But these two generals clash with each other, if they lose, it will greatly damage morale." When the enemy takes advantage of the situation and kills, what will we do? ”
Ban Pinren's eyes stared at Huo Yiben's galloping back, and said with a smile: "Is Brother Jiang so unconfident in Brother Huo?" But in my opinion, the old general Feng Huwen is old after all, and it is needless to say that he has experience in terms of momentum, but when it comes to bloody bravery, Brother Huo may not be able to fall behind! ”
"But it's a gamble! Once we lose, how will we substitute to the main bus? ”
Ban Pinren turned his head, and his leisurely eyes suddenly became serious, "The real war is gambling. ”
"He is a young general, report your name!" Feng Huwen rode a black-maned horse into the battle, and his soul pattern ability was activated instantly, and he already held a pair of short-handled black axes in his hands, which was called the Fire Demon Battle Axe.
Huo Yiben held the gun and grabbed the reins, and responded: "Huo Yiben of the Huo clan." The expression was so stiff that even Feng Huwen could see it.
Facing such a powerful opponent for the first time, Huo Yiben naturally didn't dare to take it lightly, he focused all his attention on the opponent, so he forgot his state.
"I've never heard of such a person before, so you must be just a stunned boy from the countryside. I advise you to lay down your arms, lest you end up dying young. ”
Huo Yiben stabbed a shot straight and answered Feng Huwen with action. This shot may seem ordinary, but it is enough to prove his skill in terms of speed and strength. This was not a surprise attack, but a dignified shot that made Feng Huwen change his attitude towards himself!
The two axes crossed in front of his chest, and the force from the tip of the spear suddenly surprised Feng Huwen in his heart. The young man in his twenties in front of him was able to stab such a clean shot, which was really unexpected. The last time he felt such a brave blow was more than a decade ago, but the feeling would not be blurred, forever in the depths of his heart like a hammer striking every corner of his soul. It is precisely in order to meet such an opponent again that it is difficult for him to admit the fact that he is old.
Suddenly, a scorching wave of flame burned on the Flame Demon Battle Axe. Before Huo Yiben could take back the head of the spear he had stabbed, the chestnut-haired horse under his crotch was frightened by the flames, and raised a pair of horse hooves to knock him to the ground.
Feng Huwen did not pursue Huo Yiben on the spot, in fact, he could have taken this opportunity to kill the other party, but he was burdened with the confidence and integrity of a military general, thinking that those were all things that only shameless people would do. He simply rolled over from the horse and jumped down, holding two axes and waiting for Huo Yiben to stand up again. Only then did he stare at him seriously and said, "Let's have a fair competition with young people." ”
Huo Yiben was swept away by the horse just now, and his face took up a lot of dirt. At this time, he was reaching out to wipe the plaster off his lips and looked at Feng Huwen with the same serious gaze.
The chill of the tip of the spear pierced the breeze blowing from the hills, and the flaming tomahawk melted the air. The martial arts of these two people coincided with their opponents, as Ban Pinren said before, Feng Huwen relied on momentum and experience, while Huo Yiben was all bloody and brave.
With an axe, Huo Yiben set up a spear to block it, but his gun shaft was only made of wood in the mountains, where could it withstand the power of Feng Hu's soul pattern ability to manifest a weapon, and it was suddenly cut in two from the middle. He immediately threw the broken tail of the spear at Feng Huwen's face, and at the same time, the whole person quickly circled behind Feng Huwen and stabbed the back of Feng Huwen's neck with the remaining half of the gun.
Feng Huwen first swung his axe to cut Huo Yiben's shoulder, and as soon as he saw half of the tail of the spear flying towards him, he immediately turned the axe body and knocked it down. Only then did he notice that Huo Yi had already arrived behind him, and realized that the cold light on the tip of the opponent's gun was coming straight to the back of his neck, so he simply did not turn his body, but directly lowered his head and made a gesture of bending down to avoid the gun. The tip of the spear almost scratched against his skin, pressed against the edge of his black helmet, and slammed it into the air. At the same time, he also carried the head rope that cut off his hair, and the long hair that was coiled and fixed at the back of his head immediately flew away with the wind.
"Good marksmanship! But you're missing a blade to take advantage of. Feng Huwen, who was wearing a cloak, stood there with two axes in his hand, like a god general from the heavenly palace.
"Your axe skills are also very good." Huo Yi didn't praise others easily, he really admired Feng Huwen to say this.
Just as the two were facing each other, Ban Pinren drove his horse and galloped closer. He grabbed the reins ten meters away, dismounted and came to Feng Huwen, saluted respectfully, and said, "General Feng's treasure sword is not honest, which is admirable!" ”
"Who are you?"
"It's just a little strategist under the second prince, and his cheap name is afraid that the general's ears will be dirty, so don't say it. It's just that now I have received a reliable piece of news that the eldest prince Zheng Jueming has imprisoned the general's family in the imperial capital, and the situation is urgent, although the general has a hostile relationship with us, he does not dare not tell the truth. ”
Feng Huwen frowned, and said angrily: "You are talking nonsense! ”
"Whether it is nonsense or not, the general will know when he returns to the army." Ban Pinren bowed again.
Feng Huwen glared at him, then turned his gaze back to Huo Yi himself, and then he released his soul pattern ability, and rode on the back of the horse with a cold snort. After turning the horse's head, he turned back to Huo Yiben and said, "Young man, the victory or defeat between you and me has not yet been decided, and at noon tomorrow, I will definitely go out to compete with you again." When the time comes, you don't have to fight with that broken spear again! Then he drove his horse back to battle.
