In the forest path, in the sound of weapons fighting, the two figures flickered, the swords collided, and the fierce energy escaped, causing the surrounding flowers and trees to be cut off, and it was a mess.

"Brother Ding Shan, that Fan Lihua is really your senior brother? The kung fu is really good, and I was able to fight like this with my father! Luo Zhang slightly approached Xue Dingshan, who was watching the battle seriously, and said in a low voice: "Hmph, I really can't figure it out, how could the old mother of Lishan accept a person from Xiliang as a disciple." ”

Xue Dingshan, who glanced at Luo Zhang, couldn't help frowning slightly: "What's wrong with Xiliang people?" Luo Zhang, this Xiliang rebellion was mainly provoked by ambitious people like Su Bao, and many Xiliang civilians and even soldiers did not necessarily follow Su Baotong to rebel. ”

"However, Fan Lihua came to stop the imperial army, didn't she help Su Baotong?" Luo Zhang couldn't help but say.

Xue Dingshan looked at Luo Tong and Fan Lihua in the fierce battle and shook his head: "No, Lihua is not that kind of person!" She came to me for some other reason. ”

"What could be the reason? It's just to delay time for Su Baotong," Luo Zhang still felt a lot of resentment: "Just now, her subordinates showed no mercy and almost killed me." ”

"That's because you owe too much!" Xue Dingshan glared at Luo Zhang angrily: "You also saw that Pear Blossom and Uncle Luo can fight on a par, and you are not her opponent at all." If she has the intention of killing you, you should become a ghost under her sword before Uncle Luo and I arrive. ”

Luo Zhang froze when he heard this, and muttered depressedly: "Seeing that she is young, I can't imagine that her strength is so strong!" Brother Ding Shan. I'm also a good junior, but it's really embarrassing to compare with you! ”

"It's good to know! So. You have to work harder," Xue Dingshan smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth.

Hearing Xue Dingshan say this, Luo Zhang couldn't help but be even more depressed, and looked at Xue Dingshan speechlessly.

"Huh? Uncle Luo seemed to be angry, and he was really moving," Xue Dingshan's abrupt voice suddenly caused Luo Zhang to turn his head to look at the place where Luo Tong and Fan Lihua were fighting.

I saw the shadow of the gun flipping over like a dragon. The probe is like a poisonous snake spitting letters, weird and sharp, with a mysterious taste. The air trembled, and a humming sound sounded, piercing Fan Pear Blossom.

The sword in his left hand collided slightly with the tip of the spear, and Fan Lihua's delicate body trembled slightly. The sword in his hand was swept aside by the strange force of the spear. Suddenly, the middle door opened.

Fan Lihua, whose pretty face changed slightly, hurriedly waved her sword with her right hand to block, and at the same time retreated with the help of her strength.

"Hugh away! Take me another shot! Luo Tong, who was fierce and had eyes like electricity, followed closely, and the spear in his hand poked out again, without a trace of fireworks, but it made people can't help but tense up, and an inexplicable chill and incomparable feeling rose in their hearts.

Fan pear blossom with miniature eyes. He drew a semicircular arc with the sword in both hands, and the sword qi like a mist caused the space to be slightly shaken and distorted. met Rotong's silent shot.

There was no sound, and where the guns and swords were about to collide, the space seemed to be stirred up to form a vortex of energy, and a circle of air rippled out.

"Not good! Hurry back! Xue Dingshan's face on horseback changed, and while he let out a low shout, he jumped off his horse and came to the front of the army, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand turned into phantoms, as if forming a huge shield, and the space seemed to be frozen for a while.

A terrible explosion of energy rang out, and where the air rippled, the trees shattered into sawdust, the stones shattered into powder, and even the dirt on the ground was lifted off a layer, and in an instant the entire forest path was a mess and smoke billowed with dust.

The terrifying energy impact, although it was blocked by Xue Dingshan, the energy that escaped still set off a terrible wind, making the Tang soldiers behind him seem to be caught in the storm, and they were blown to the ground one by one.

"Ril!" Luo Zhang, who stabilized the anxious war horse under him, couldn't help but look at this scene in amazement, and turned to look nervously at the place where Luo Tong and Fan Lihua were fighting. With such a terrible encounter, what happened to the two?

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated, and everyone also saw two figures standing opposite each other on the messy ground in front of them.

Luo Tong looked a little wolf, the armor on his body was a little torn and broken, his hair bun was even more messy, the hand holding the spear and even his arm trembled slightly, and the tiger's mouth oozed blood, leaving along the barrel of the gun, and his face was slightly pale.

On the other hand, Fan Lihua, who was holding a sword in both hands, was obviously much better, there was no mess on her body, and there was no injury, but the heroic spirit with a sharp taste made people's hearts break!

"General Luo's martial arts are strong, Pear Blossom admires!" Fan Lihua, who stood with her sword closed, said politely to Luo Tong.

Luo Tong, who shook his head with a wry smile, also returned the salute: "Miss Fan is young, she has such martial arts, Luo Tong is ashamed of herself and is willing to bow down!" ”

"General Luo, offended!" Fan Lihua apologized again.

Seeing this, Luo Tong didn't want to say anything more, silently put away the gun and turned back on the war horse.

Xue Dingshan's Luo Tong, who had returned from the horse, nodded slightly, and walked straight to Fan Lihua with Fang Tian's halberd in hand.

"Senior Brother Ding Shan!" Facing Luo Zhang's heroic Fan Lihua, looking at Xue Dingshan who was walking towards him, he was a little nervous.

"Follow me!" Passing by Fan Lihua's side, Xue Dingshan, who looked sideways at her and whispered a word, continued to walk forward.

Fan Lihua, who was stunned, hurriedly followed with a happy face.

Seeing that Luo Tong's arms were still trembling slightly on horseback, Luo Zhang couldn't help but hurriedly rode his horse to Luo Tong's side and asked nervously, "Father, are you okay?" ”

"What can I do?" Luo Tong glared at Luo Zhang angrily.

Luo Zhang, who was a little stunned, turned to look at Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua, who were talking softly in front of him, and couldn't help frowning: "Father! You say, what is this Fan Lihua going to do? She and Brother Ding Shan seem to have a close relationship, will it affect Brother Ding Shan's plan for this expedition to the west? ”

"Don't worry, Ding Shan is measured, don't that idle mind here!" Luo Tong frowned and glanced at Luo Zhang: "If you have that leisure, it's better to practice more marksmanship." Miss Fan was merciful. You didn't stick to a few tricks, it's a shame! ”

When Luo Zhang heard this, he was immediately depressed and helpless: "Father, even you are not even you, let alone me!" ”

Luo Zhang between the words. Facing Luo Tong's somewhat harsh gaze, his tone suddenly weakened.

"Father, your son is not bad! Now my martial arts are almost as good as you were back then, right? It's a pity that I don't have a good teacher to teach, otherwise I wouldn't be so bad," Luo Zhang said with a little unwillingness.

"Huh?" Luo Tong couldn't help frowning: "Isn't it good to teach for your father?" ”

When Luo Zhang heard this, he really wanted to slap himself with a big mouth. Busy with a smile: "Okay, good! Of course, my father taught me well. Otherwise, your son and I can't become one of the top juniors among the children of Chang'an Jiangmen, right? ”

"One of the best? You're barely even three! Luo Tong rolled his eyes angrily.

Luo Zhang, who was blushing, turned to see Shan Ximu smiling at the corner of his mouth not far away. Suddenly he was angry: "Shan Ximu, what are you laughing at?" Aren't you just a great teacher, amazing? ”

"Huh?" Shan Ximu was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Luo Zhang. Shaking his head and smiling, he didn't say anything more.

Luo Tong patted Luo Zhang's head angrily: "What so much nonsense? I want to improve my strength. This expedition to the west is your chance. Fight more enemy generals, and you will naturally be able to discover your shortcomings and hone your marksmanship. When your grandfather, your father and I were young, they all relied on the bloodstained marksmanship in their hands to hone their marksmanship and fight for their reputation. ”

"Father, no matter how powerful I am, I can't catch up with Brother Ding Shan." Luo Zhang's helpless words made Luo Tong stare when he heard it. But there is nothing to be done. Catch up with Xue Ding Mountain? In this world, how can there be so many demons and evil talents?

While Luo Tong and his son were talking, Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua in front of them also seemed to talk about the important points. I saw Xue Dingshan frowning and groaning, and only after a moment did he nod and say something to Fan Lihua.

Fan Lihua said goodbye to Xue Dingshan with a happy face, directly turned over the horse, turned the horse's head and left.

"Ding Shan, how is it? So what did Fan Lihua say? Seeing Xue Dingshan coming back, Luo Tong asked first.

On the side, Luo Zhang pouted and said, "What can you do?" Most of them are related to the battle of Suoyang City. ”

"Pear Blossom is indeed here for the Battle of Suoyang City!" Xue Dingshan nodded slightly and said: "This time, Pear Blossom was ordered by Lishan's old mother to mediate this war, hoping to resolve this war. Pear Blossom has already agreed, and went to the Soviet army camp outside Suoyang City to persuade Su Baotong to withdraw his troops, asking us to suspend our advance. ”

When Luo Zhang heard this, he immediately sneered: "Sure enough! Nicely said, who does she think she is? If Su Baotong would listen to her, he would not have flashed King Xiliang to rebel. ”

"Ding Shan, this is indeed a bit ridiculous! Do you think Fan Lihua has this ability? Luo Tong also frowned.

Xue Dingshan, who was noncommittal, turned over and looked in the direction of Suoyang City in front of him, and said sharply: "It is indeed not so easy to stop this military disaster. I didn't have much hope for pear blossoms. But since she's willing, why not give it a try? Even if he can't succeed, he can temporarily confuse and stabilize Su Baotong. This battle is not trivial, and if you can really surrender the army without a fight, it will naturally be the best. ”

"A soldier who surrenders without a fight?" Luo Zhang shook his head and said, "Su Baotong, it's not a good stubble!" That Fan Lihua is really big-hearted. This time, if it doesn't succeed, I'm afraid I'll offend Su Baotong, then it's okay"

On the side, Luo Tong, who frowned when he heard this, couldn't help but glance at Luo Zhang: "I'm finally willing to use my brain." ”

"Pear blossom? I forgot about it! Xue Dingshan's face also changed: "If Pear Blossom doesn't succeed in persuasion, if Su Baotong has the intention of harming Pear Blossom, then it's okay."

Luo Zhang smiled a little gloatingly: "Among the ten thousand armies, you can't escape, let her be strong!" ”

"Alright, don't say a word! I just got carried away when I praised you," Luo Tong frowned and glared at Luo Zhang.

On the side, Shan Ximu, who saw Xue Dingshan's anxious and worried face, said: "Marshal, Miss Fan is a disciple of Lihua's old mother, and her means must be extraordinary. That Su Baotong shouldn't be able to keep her. ”

"I hope so!" Xue Dingshan glanced at Shan Ximu and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Luo Tong hurriedly said: "Ding Shan, why don't you catch up and stop her?" I always felt that it was unrealistic to let Su Baotong withdraw from the army. ”

"It's not impossible!" Shan Ximu shook his head and said, "If Su Baotong retreats this time, we will have to worry even more." ”

Luo Zhang frowned and looked at Shan Ximu dissatisfied: "Shan Ximu." What do you mean by that? ”

Xue Dingshan and Luo Tong were silent with flickering eyes.

"Indeed!" Xue Dingshan, who nodded slightly after a while, couldn't help but take a deep breath: "The second army of the imperial court has arrived. If it is combined with the army in Suoyang City, even if Su Baotong has hundreds of thousands of troops, he will not be able to take advantage of it, and if he doesn't get it right, he will suffer heavy losses. If he can decisively regress and preserve his strength at this time, I would think highly of him. ”

Shan Ximu shook his head and continued: "It's a pity! Su Baotong is so proud and thinks he is smart. I want him to retire. It's not very likely. With his madness, he will most likely not hesitate to fight us to the death. If I'm not mistaken, he will hold Fan Lihua steady. Ask her to send us a message to halt our march while attacking Suoyang City with all our might. ”

"What?" Luo Zhang was stunned when he heard this: "This Su Baotong, how can he be so shameless?" ”

Luo Tong shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Soldiers are not tired of cheating!" For Su Baotong. If you can't break through Suoyang City. is facing an unfavorable situation. In order to turn the tide, it is entirely possible that he will do so. ”

"Shhh Luo Zhang, who gasped, couldn't help but hurriedly say, "Marshal, what should we do now?" ”

Xue Dingshan, who groaned slightly, said decisively: "Suspend and rest, recuperate, and at the same time send rangers to investigate the movements of Suoyang City." ”

"What, still resting?" Luo Zhang's eyes were a little anxious: "Marshal." Suoyang City is in danger! ”

Luo Tong pulled Luo Zhang and said angrily: "Of course the marshal knows that Suoyang City is in danger. However, sharpening knives does not mistake woodcutters! Stinky boy. Learn a little more. With just a bloody rush, you will be a general's material in your life! ”

"A general is a general, and I don't want to be a marshal! It is enough for Datang to have a generalissimo of Brother Ding Shan," Luo Zhang said with a smile: "In the future, we will all follow Brother Ding Shan." ”

For Luo Zhang's unproductive words, Luo Tong completely lost the mood to teach him a lesson.

"That's it! Luo Zhang, go down and tell the soldiers to rest well and eat some dry food. The military situation is urgent, so I can't care about burying the pot and cooking. When the danger of Suoyang City is solved, the commander will reward the soldiers of the three armies," Xue Dingshan ordered with a light smile.

Luo Zhang, who answered the call, hurriedly rode his horse towards the rear army: "The marshal has an order, rest in place!" Brothers, eat some dry food, rest well, let's deal with the Soviet army outside Suoyang City in one go, and unlock the danger of Yangcheng. When the time comes, everyone will be heroes, and the emperor and Marshal Xue will reward the three armies well. ”

Listening to Luo Zhang's words, the soldiers suddenly responded excitedly and loudly, and their morale was greatly boosted.

"This kid does look like a general," Luo Tong couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

Xue Dingshan said with a smile: "Uncle Luo, Luo Zhang is actually very good, don't be too him!" ”

"If it weren't for my strict discipline over the years, it's really hard to say what he would become," Luo Tong shook his head and said: "As a soldier, you should demand yourself with the strictest standards." Fighting a war is not a game, and the slightest mistake may affect the entire battle situation. One general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted! If Zhang Er doesn't have this ability, even if I let him go back to be a gentleman, I don't want him to come to the battlefield to die and cut off the bloodline of my Luo family. ”

Hearing Luo Tong say this, Xue Dingshan couldn't help but bow his hand to him in his heart: "What Uncle Luo taught! ”

"Hey! Ding Shan, I didn't mean to teach you," Luo Tong suddenly waved his hand and smiled: "You are a marshal, I look satisfied." I believe that in this battle of Suoyang City, you will definitely be able to lead us to defeat Su Baotong and save the emperor and the trapped army of Zhengxi. The tiger father has no dogs, and if your father knows, he will be pleased. ”

"Father?" Hearing this, Xue Dingshan couldn't help but look in the direction of Suoyang City with a worried expression: "I don't know, what happened to my father's cold poison." I hope he can hold on and be fine! ”

Luo Tong hurriedly said: "Don't worry! Ding Shan! Brother Xue is a celestial person, and he will definitely be fine. For now, we should focus on fighting with Su Bao, and we must not be distracted. ”

"Uncle Luo, I understand!" Xue Dingshan, who nodded lightly, couldn't help but say solemnly: "General Shan, you go and have a look, prepare properly, and don't have the slightest omission." ”

"Yes!" Shan Ximu answered, glanced at Xue Dingshan, and then rode away. Following Xue Dingshan these days, he had to admit that the young man in front of him, who was younger than him, had the ability and charm of a marshal.

Looking at Shan Ximu leaving, Luo Tong, who had a hint of complexity flashing in his eyes, couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Xue Dingshan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Uncle Luo, why are you sighing?" ”

"Shan Ximu is much more amazing than his father. However, I'm really a little worried, is he really willing to be a pioneer officer under you? You must know that the more outstanding young people are, the easier it is to be competitive in the face of peers like him," Luo Tong said with some worry: "Shan Ximu, to be honest, I can't see through him!" ”

Xue Dingshan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled lightly: "Uncle Luo, to be honest, I can't see through him a little!" However, since he has been my vanguard officer, and he is doing well, I will naturally trust him. Okay, now let's think about the upcoming battle of Suoyang City first, and don't think about the rest. ”

"Ding Shan, you can take the overall situation into account so much and not be moved by external objects, you are indeed a rare handsome talent!" Luo Tong couldn't help but say.

Xue Dingshan shook his head and smiled: "Uncle Luo, don't hold me!" I have some ability, I know it in my own heart. This marshal, I'm also a little struggling! ”

"For the first time! Later, you'll get used to it," Luo Tong smiled.

While talking, the two continued to discuss the military situation. The battle of Suoyang City was very important, and neither of them dared to be careless.

While they were discussing the military situation, by a small stream a few miles away from the temporary garrison of the Tang Army, on the green grass, Chen Hua and Hu Ling'er were standing side by side, enjoying the scenery of the mountains.

"This Xue Dingshan is indeed a personal masterpiece!" Hu Linger couldn't help but praise.

Chen Hua on the side only smiled faintly when he heard this: "If he is not a little special, he will not become the person of destiny in this battle of luck above the ancestral star." (To be continued......)
