Chapter 841: Before the White Tiger Pass, the generals face off

Although Xue Dingshan and others were lucky enough to break the monster Seven Killing Array, because of Li Luanhu's death, the army was unstable, so after the Tang army sent people to Chang'an for 800 miles to report the battle situation, in the following days, in addition to sending scouts and cavalry out to investigate, it was to wait for the reply of the imperial court.

Ten days later, the imperial court sent Xu Liang, the son of Duke Xu Mao, to read out the holy decree, reappointing Xue Dingshan as the commander, Xue Rengui and Cheng Yanjin as the supervisor, and Xu Liang as the military advisor.

Two days later, after the Tang army was prepared for training, Xue Dingshan and the generals in the army officially marched to Baihu Pass after arguing.

On this day, the sky that was originally bright and sunny suddenly changed suddenly, and the dark clouds as thick as lead covered the sky, and the sky and the earth were dark, and even the temperature slowly dropped.

"Huh?" Xue Dingshan, who was dressed in armor and handsome robes in the Tang army for several miles, looked up at the sky and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Xu Liang, who was riding a horse on the side, smiled when he saw this: "The marshal doesn't have to worry, this day is just dense clouds and no rain, and it will not have a big impact on the march of the army and the siege of the city." On the contrary, we wait for the arrival of the army, like a black cloud crushing the city, which can weaken the morale of the Xiliang army even more. ”

"Huh!" Xue Dingshan, who nodded with a smile, couldn't help but shout softly: "Pass the order, march at full speed!" ”

The herald rode away in response, and soon the Tang army, which looked like a red fire dragon, sped up and approached the White Tiger Pass.

When the White Tiger was closed, Yang Fan, who had already received a report from the scout cavalry and knew that the Tang army was coming, had already led the generals and personal guards to wait at the gate.

"General, look at the weather, it's going to rain soon. The Tang army attacked the city at this time. There must not be much combat power," a Xiliang general with a slightly sharp beak and monkey cheeks on the side looked at the weather and smiled flatteringly at Yang Fan.

On the other side, a young general who looked to be in his twenties and thirties, quite heroic and handsome, said: "General, this kind of weather. Although it looks like it's going to rain, it's just a dense cloud. In addition, the Tang army came, and the army pressed the city, which was not conducive to the momentum of our army. ”

"Vice General Han, you are growing the enemy's morale and destroying your own prestige!" The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked general Xiliang glanced at the young general coldly and said dissatisfied.

The young general, Vice General Han, glanced at him and said indifferently: "I'm just telling the truth." ”

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel when they were talking. Yang Fan, who was silent and looked at the sky with calm eyes, couldn't help but snort coldly with a slightly gloomy face: "Okay!" General Han, General Liao. Obey our military orders and order all the soldiers to withdraw from the city. ”

"What?" General Liao, who had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, couldn't help but glared when he heard this: "General, do you want to surrender to the Tang Army?" ”

The young general, General Han, also looked at Yang Fan unexpectedly, but calmly didn't say anything.

looked back at the two of them indifferently. He turned his head to look at the Tang army coming from afar above the official road outside the Guanwai. Yang Fan's voice was cold and calm: "The Tang army has hundreds of thousands of troops, and our army plus the reinforcements sent by the king are only tens of thousands, and even if they can block ten, they will suffer heavy casualties." Moreover, there are many talented people in the Tang army, and they are completely capable of entering the pass. Open and close the door. In this way, our army will be defeated! ”

"I don't know if the general wants it," General Han asked with a slightly puzzled frown.

Eyes slightly closed. Yang Fan, who was silent for a while, said indifferently: "Wait a while, I will go to the front of the battle to fight against Xue Dingshan, the marshal of the Tang Army." If I can kill him, then the Tang army will inevitably be in chaos and will naturally retreat. If not, then I'm running out of cool air in the west, so I'll open the gate and surrender to the Tang Army! ”

Listening to Yang Fan's words, the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked general's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't speak.

"General!" General Han was busy and said: "We know that you are strong in martial arts, so Xue Dingshan may not be an opponent." However, what if Xue Dingshan should not fight? There are like generals in the Tang army! ”

The corners of Yang Fan's eyes narrowed his mouth showed a hint of inexplicable smile: "If he shouldn't fight, his prestige among the Tang army will plummet." Now that he is the commander again, he will be timid in the first battle, and the three armies will be unconvinced. So, he had to fight me personally. Don't worry, he'll fight me. ”

"Alright, stand down!" After speaking, Yang Fan waved his hand lightly.

Seeing that Yang Fan was so insistent, General Han and General Liao had no choice but to surrender their orders and lead the soldiers to rush down from the corridors on both sides of the wall. Soon, only Yang Fan was left standing in the city, and his robe was blown up by the wind.

In a short time, tens of thousands of elite vanguard troops of the Tang Army came to the outside of Baihu Pass under the leadership of Xue Dingshan and the generals of the Tang Army, and set up a formation, with guns and halberds like a forest, and the bowstring was tight, and the battle was about to break out.

"What? Empty city plan? Among the generals, Dou Yihu glared at Yang Fan above Guancheng and said in surprise.

Xue Jinlian, who was beside him, pouted and sneered: "So it's mysterious! In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is just a joke. ”

"Marshal, Yang Fan is not a brave and unscrupulous person, this move is really incomprehensible, and it must be guarded against!" Xu Liang reminded Xue Dingshan with some caution.

Xue Dingshan, who tapped his head, looked up at the white tiger with slightly squinted eyes.

The white tiger is closed, and Yang Fan is also overlooking the pass. The eyes of the two met in mid-air, both with some inexplicable taste.

"Xue Dingshan, you're finally here! After waiting for so many days, I thought you were too scared to come! Yang Fan's clear voice came from the White Tiger Pass, looking so confident and unruly, hearing that all the generals of the Tang army were angry, and the soldiers were also a little noisy and whispered to each other.

Xue Dingshan, who squinted at Yang Fan for a while, then said calmly: "Yang Fan! Our Tang army broke through the Jiepai Pass, all the way to the west, no less than dozens of battles of all sizes, tackling key problems, plundering land and cutting down cities, invincible. Even your generalissimo Su Baotong in Xiliang was defeated and fled, losing hundreds of thousands of troops in vain. You are a little White Tiger Pass, with a maximum of tens of thousands of soldiers, and the city is only a few zhang, even if your martial arts are high, it is difficult to reverse the situation. Now that the king has arrived in the city, you know that you are difficult to fight, so you will let the soldiers retreat, right? ”

As Xue Dingshan's words fell, the slightly noisy Tang Jun suddenly quieted down, and one by one they looked at the White Tiger with high fighting spirit. The marshal was right. We have conquered everything along the way, what is a mere White Tiger Pass?

Seeing Xue Dingshan's words, his morale was condensed, and Xu Liang on the side couldn't help but stroke his beard and show a look of appreciation. This Xue Dingshan is indeed a handsome talent.

"Haha" The white tiger closed, but Yang Fan suddenly raised his head and laughed. The loud laughter, vaguely mocking and disdainful, made everyone in the Tang Army angry in their hearts. This guy, at such a juncture, dares to be so rampant? Did he really think that he was on his own. Can it block the attack of tens of thousands of troops of the Tang Army?

Xue Jinlian couldn't help but shout angrily at first: "Yang Fan, you don't know that you are dying yet. ”

"Dying?" Yang Fan's laughter converged, and his eyes looked coldly at the outside of the pass and shouted: "Your Tang army has indeed been invincible since the Western Expedition. However, isn't your emperor still trapped in Suoyang City by my Marshal Su for months? Your first generalissimo Xue made no achievements and almost died at the hands of Marshal Su. Your second Marshal Li was even killed by me in the Monster Seven Killing Array. It's you, Marshal Xue, who is outside the Hanjiang Pass. was also forced helpless by the Fan Long and Fan Hu brothers. Even the position of commander was lost. Your Tang Army is indeed an application, but it's a pity that your marshal is too incompetent. ”

"Yang Fan!" A mouthful of silver teeth was almost crushed, Xue Jinlian let out a low shout and rode his horse to the front of the formation, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd and shouting to Yang Fan who was closing: "Yang thief! Dare to insult my father, there is a kind of down to die! ”

Yang Fan smiled when he saw this, and said loudly: "Datang is really five people, and he actually wants to use a woman as a handsome." Pathetic, pathetic! ”

"Xue Ding Mountain! You are the commander of the three armed forces. actually let his sister take the lead, what kind of man is it? Competent. Come out and fight me yourself. If you win and I voluntarily sacrifice the White Tiger Pass, how about it? Yang Fan turned to Xue Dingshan and shouted, full of provocation.

Hearing Yang Fan's words, Xue Jinlian couldn't help but turn around and hurriedly said, "Brother, don't promise him!" ”

"Marshal!" Xu Liang also looked at Xue Dingshan busily, and shook his head slightly with a stern expression: "As the commander of the three armies, you can't take risks lightly." ”

Luo Tong, Qin Ying and other generals also turned their heads to look at Xue Dingshan, their hearts nervous and worried. On the one hand, of course, they hoped that Xue Dingshan could kill Yang Fan on the battlefield to strengthen the prestige of the Tang army; On the other hand, they were also worried that Xue Dingshan was defeated, and even killed by Yang Fan in front of the battle, which would be a fatal blow to the morale of the Tang army.

"In this battle, I have no choice, I have to fight, and I have to win!" Xue Dingshan watched the white tiger close, and was silent for a long time before he spoke in a low voice, with a firm taste of persistence in his calm tone, and the surging battle intent was quietly brewing.

Hearing this, all the generals solemnized their faces with a little bated breath. Especially Luo Tong and the few other generals who knew that Xue Dingshan was defeated by Yang Fan in the Monster Seven Killing Array, their expressions were extremely solemn.

Xu Liang's face also changed and he hurriedly said: "Marshal, don't be reckless!" ”

"Strategist! We were ordered by the emperor to march westward, and we were loyal to the king. For the generals, they were returned as horse leather shrouds. Even if the marshal dies today, there will still be a new marshal in my Datang to lead the army. However, the military might of my Datang cannot be fallen! Xue Dingshan shook his head and said resolutely: "Besides, if he wants to kill me, it's not so easy. ”

After speaking, Xue Dingshan, who didn't wait for Xu Liang to say more, was Xue Jinlian before the battle and shouted: "Jinlian, come back!" ”

"Brother, you can't beat him! If you go out to fight him like this, you will be sent to death! Xue Jinlian hit the horse and returned, frowning and frowning anxiously to Xue Dingshan.

Xue Dingshan smiled when he heard this: "Why, you have no confidence in your brother?" ”

"Brother! On the battlefield, the swords and guns are ruthless, and Yang Fan" Xue Jinlian couldn't help but be a little anxious.

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Xue Dingshan waved his hand slightly and smiled indifferently: "Okay, Jin Lian, my brother has made up his mind, you don't have to say more." He Yang Fan has a calculation, is it possible that I, Xue Dingshan, am defenseless? ”

Xue Jinlian was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Xue Dingshan with beautiful eyes: "Brother, you"

"Xue Dingshan, how is it, have you thought about it? If you're afraid of death, you can say no, and that's fine. I'll go and tell Pear Blossom that the person she likes is just a coward like a mouse," Yang Fan's voice sounded again, but it was so heart-warming to hear it in the ears of the Tang army generals.

Xue Jinlian gritted her silver teeth and almost couldn't help but kill in front of the battle again: "This bastard!" ”

"Golden Lotus!" Xue Dingshan, whose eyes flashed with cold light, stretched out his hand to stop Xue Jinlian, and then immediately stepped forward to stop in front of the formation. Raising his head, he looked at the white tiger coldly and shouted, "Yang Fan, you don't have to use these radical methods. Since you want to fight, then Ben Shuai is with you. ”

Seeing this, Yang Fan immediately laughed: "Okay! is worthy of being the marshal of the Tang Dynasty. Sure enough, there is courage! ”

As he spoke, Yang Fan jumped down directly from the White Tiger Pass, and landed in the open space in front of Xue Ding Mountain, stretched out his hand, and a bright silver spear appeared in his hand.

In the slight sound of the wind, Xue Dingshan also jumped from the horse and landed on the ground, holding the Fang Tian Painting Halberd and confronting Yang Fan.

"Xue Ding Mountain. Today's battle may be our last. Take all your means! Otherwise, I'm afraid your little life will stay here. Staring at Xue Dingshan with burning eyes, Yang Fan, who shouted in a low voice, was the first to dodge and kill Xue Dingshan.

His eyes narrowed, and Xue Dingshan, who was instantly tense all over his body, shook his arm holding Fang Tian's painting halberd. also dodged and rushed towards Yang Fan. Everywhere it passed, a fierce wind swept through a cloud of dust.

The sound of the sonorous gold and iron clashing sounded, and the two of them collided together like two wind whirlwinds, and after a fierce head-on collision, it was you who came and I fought with guns and halberds.

Looking at this fierce battle, Xu Liang, who looked stern, gave an order, and the Tang Army's war drums sounded, and the sound shook the sky. The officers and men of the three armies shouted in unison. Military might is boiling.

Under the prestige of "Haha", Xue Dingshan, who fought hard with Yang Fan and retreated, couldn't help laughing. The momentum was like a rainbow and killed Yang Fan again, and the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand was like a giant dragon turning over and pumping towards Yang Fan.

Yang Fan, whose breath was obviously weaker, hooked a trace of inexplicable arc at the corner of his mouth, and he also dodged to meet it, the bright silver spear in his hand was as fierce and fierce as a silver dragon, blocking Fang Tian's halberd while flying back with the elastic force of the flex of the gun body, and at the same time, the body of the gun shook, and a shot stabbed out, like an electric drill trying to penetrate the space and stab Xue Dingshan's chest.

The tail end of the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand smashed towards the bright silver spear like a dragon swinging its tail, and then took advantage of Yang Fan's time to prevent a little ground under his feet and flipped sideways, the halberd blade of Fang Tian's halberd turned into a cold light and slashed towards Yang Fan's neck.

"Huh?" Yang Fan, whose complexion changed slightly, was busy leaning back, obviously dodging this killer blow, and a little ground under his feet quickly retreated with the help of force, and at the same time, the bright silver spear in his hand was withdrawn, and Xue Dingshan, who took advantage of the situation to chase up, fought fiercely again.

The two fought like this for seventy or eighty rounds, killing fiercely and dangerously, the armor and robes on their bodies were damaged, and even there were a few more wounds on their bodies that were not strict.

"Huh" Xu Liang, who had been watching nervously, couldn't help but sigh with a slightly relieved gaze after Xue Dingshan and Yang Fan made another tough move and retreated and stopped for the time being, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "The marshal has gained the upper hand." ”

"Strange, today's Yang Fan, why does it seem that his strength is a lot worse? Moreover, it is getting weaker and weaker the more you fight! Xue Jinlian frowned and whispered to herself in confusion.

Shan Ximu, who was watching silently not far away, also frowned slightly, and his eyes flickered slightly.

"Yang Fan, this is not like your real strength!" Looking at Yang Fan, who was slightly pale on the other side, Xue Dingshan, who was covered with sweat, also frowned and shouted.

Yang Fan, whose eyes flashed slightly, smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth: "Xue Dingshan, the victory or defeat is not divided, but it is difficult to say!" ”

"At this time, you are still hiding your strength, that is looking for death!" Xue Dingshan, who was snorting, dodged and killed Yang Fan again.

Seeing this, Yang Fan, who quietly appeared with a bloodthirsty red glow in his eyes, also exhaled lightly, his whole body tensed, the cold light of the bright silver spear in his hand flickered, and a trace of red quietly appeared on the tip of the spear.

"Kill!" Yang Fan, who shouted violently, was like a fierce beast, and his figure met Xue Dingshan in a flash, ignoring the attack of the Heavenly Painting Halberd in Xue Dingshan's hand, the sharp bright silver spear shot out, stabbing Xue Dingshan's chest, shocking Xue Dingshan's eyes and tightening his eyes.

Seeing that the bloody tip of the bright silver spear was about to pierce into his body, a spirited Xue Dingshan hurriedly turned sideways, but it was still accompanied by a harsh sound, and the breastplate was torn by the tip of the spear, and a bloody light flew out from the side of his chest.

The halberd painted by Fang Tian in his hand also made a big cut on Yang Fan's arm, and the bloody Xue Dingshan, his brother's killing intent and anger were also stimulated, ignoring the wound on his chest, and with a roar, he killed Yang Fan fiercely, and the fierce momentum made Yang Fan's face change slightly.

"Good time!" Yang Fan, whose eyes were as sharp as lightning, while narrowly dodging the deadly attack of Fang Tian's painting halberd, the bright silver spear in his hand also greeted Xue Dingshan ruthlessly.

At this time, the two of them were completely red-eyed, and they became crazy, and there was only one belief left in their hearts, that is, to kill the opponent.

"Brother!" Looking at Xue Dingshan, who was covered in blood and some wounds on his body, Xue Jinlian couldn't help but tighten up her delicate body with red eyes, and the golden lotus loomed on her jade hand, and the golden light was condensed, and she could launch a fierce attack at any time.

Shan Ximu, who had been watching the battle in silence, also had a solemn face, and the purple electric light flashed in his eyes.

Dou Yihu, Qin Han, Jiang Hu, Xiao Si and the others all tensed, and they all watched the fierce battle in front of the battle with bated breath.

"Marshal!" Xu Liang's heart that had just been put down was lifted again, and the hand that stroked the beard pinched the short beard under the jaw with some force, pulling his chin painfully, and he couldn't help but grin and gasp.

"Die!" Yang Fan, who roared frantically first, ignored the attack of Xue Dingshan's Fang Tian Painting Halberd, and the blood on the spear in his hand flashed straight to Xue Dingshan's heart, and the power of that shot was so terrifying that the space trembled.

The corners of his eyes were constricted, and Xue Dingshan's eyes flickered violently, but he gritted his teeth with a ruthless look, and the halberd in his hand stabbed out fiercely, and the tip of the halberd 'snorted' through the armor on Yang Fan's chest and pierced into his side chest, and the dazzling blood shot out in an instant.

The sonorous and piercing sound of gold and iron clashing sounded almost at the same time, and a small shield-like heart guard that appeared on Xue Dingshan's chest flew faintly sparks. (To be continued......)
