Chapter 4 The White-Clothed Divine General

Wei Wenzhong first felt that he admired Tao Chenmo was a martial arts exchange with him when Tao Chenmo first came to Yunyang, Wei Wenzhong is the head of the Baiyangdu patrol, although he has no grade, but he is happy to be at ease, often study martial arts and the art of war, he thinks that there are few opponents in this Yunyang General's Mansion, but in that time with Tao Chenmo, he only understood what is outside the sky, there are people outside the sky, because it is a competition, both sides did not do their best, but he knew in his heart that if both sides go all out, he can only resist Tao Chen's last hundred moves at most. This is the second time, although Tao Chenmo has been performing his duties in Baiyangdu with him, and has little contact with the people in the general's mansion, but he can see the cadres and others clearly, and there is nowhere to hide in his heart for calculations and premeditations, for Wei Wenzhong, these are things he will never think about, and he can't figure it out.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the general's mansion, Yan Yu greeted him and asked anxiously: "Brother Tao, the person I sent has returned, General Huang insists on sending troops to Qingshan immediately, if the situation in Qingshan is really as my brother said, wouldn't General Huang go to return again in vain, how can this be good?" ”

This was the result of Tao Chen's prediction, so he was not surprised, he had tried his best to recover the decline, but he couldn't do anything, seeing that Yan Yu was very anxious, he could only say comfort: "Lord Yan doesn't have to be too anxious, isn't there no result yet, maybe General Huang will really end the matter by turning the tide." ”

At this time, Yan Yu was a little angry, and said with a scolding tone: "What is the power to turn the tide, he rushed forward so quickly and didn't listen to the advice, it was nothing more than wanting to make a meritorious contribution, and it was really brave to be so anxious for quick success." ”

Tao Chen said: "Lord Yan is in a hurry at the moment, the matter has come to this point, you might as well go back to the mansion and sit down and wait for the news." ”

Yan Yu had no choice but to go home.

There are two people in Yunyang City who are the most uneasy at this moment, one is Yan Yu, he is worried that if Huang Jiansi really quells the Qingshan Rebellion, he will have nothing to do, and secondly, he is worried that if Huang Jiansi is also buried in Qingshan, the General's Mansion is no longer available, and I am afraid that this matter will eventually be reported to Yuzhou Mansion. The other person is Wang Liyang, he has been waiting for the good news from Tao Chenmo, but the sun has set west but there is no rumor, and he is extremely anxious when he thinks about it. Only Tao Chenmo looked very relaxed, he was tired of patrolling the streets, so he found a stall to drink hot tea, and by the way, he carefully appreciated and appreciated this Yunyang City, Wei Wenzhong was not in a hurry, he looked at Tao Chenmo so relaxed, and he was too lazy to think about it, he should eat and drink, until dusk was approaching, and the two of them returned to their homes for temporary adjustments.

As soon as he got up and was about to go back to the house, a soldier hurriedly greeted him, saying that Lord Yan was in a hurry to recruit the two to return to the house to discuss matters, and Tao Chenmo and Wei Wenzhong knew that things were not good.

Entering the conference hall, Yan Yu's face was already pale, and when he saw that Tao Chenmo was not as eager to speak as in the past, he said weakly after a long time: "I just got the report, General Huang sent troops to Qingshan not only failed to save General Xiatian, but he was also besieged by heavy troops, and the sky died in Yunyang Mansion." ”

Although Tao Chenmo had already expected the ending, he couldn't help but feel throbbing in his heart when he really knew that the reality was like this, and this Miao person seemed to be really difficult to deal with. There are more than a dozen people in the council hall, because all the captains in the general's mansion who can fight have been recruited by the three generals before and after, so now the hall is full of some half-hundred-year-old people, these people may be able to go into battle to resist one or two when they are young, but now they are relegated to the second line and are in civilian positions, and no one wants to interrupt their lives in peace, so when Yan Yu asked who could lead the troops to quell the rebellion, the hall was silent and no one spoke, Yan Yu's face was pale, and he sat down on the chair.

At this time, he turned his eyes to Tao Chenmo again, and almost pleaded: "Brother Tao, you are a martial artist, and your martial arts and talents are outstanding, at this time, the old man has nothing to do, do you have the technique of rejuvenation to alleviate the danger of my Yunyang?" ”

Tao Chenmo didn't respond immediately, but took a sip of tea, thoughtfully, for a long time, and then slowly asked, "Lord Yan is still not ready to report to Yuzhou at this moment?" ”

Yan Yu's eyes wandered weakly, and he lamented: "If there is nothing to do, there is only this, but when this matter comes out, Yunyang Mansion is afraid that it will be laughed at by the world, and the dignified Dayuan Military Town has been almost uprooted by hundreds of Miao people, and the old man is nearly seventy years old, I am afraid that the late festival will not be guaranteed." ”

"Lord Yan, personal honor and disgrace are small, people's lives are big, the Miao people have won the Yunyang army three times in a row, the momentum is flourishing, and everyone knows that Yunyang is not a peaceful place, this matter together, more rebellions are afraid that it is difficult to avoid, now there are less than 400 people in Yunyang Mansion can be mobilized, in case someone takes the opportunity to start an accident again, it will be really irreparable, at this time, if you don't ask for help from Yuzhou Mansion, you really have to wait until there is only one soldier left?" Tao Chenmo said.

"It should have been reported a long time ago, who would have expected such a development of the situation, and reporting it at this moment is tantamount to asking for responsibility."

"It seems that the matter is already obvious, but Lord Yan really plans to keep it a secret, can you go on with it? The three generals of Yunyang Mansion and more than 1,000 soldiers died in vain, but the adults did not report to Yuzhou but still wanted to hide from the sky and the sea, and when Yuzhou knew about it, Lord Yan really had no room for maneuver. Tao Chenmo's tone did not change much, he was as calm as ever, but it was precisely because of such a calm question that Yan Yu felt a chill in his heart.

Yan Yu frowned, it seemed that there was no other way.

Tao Chenmo looked at everyone in the hall, he was depressed, and he couldn't help but sigh, and then looked sideways at Yan Yu, and asked, "Is General Huang just besieged in Qingshan now?" ”

Yan Yu said weakly: "As Brother Tao said during the day, the Miao people used General Tian as bait to lure General Huang to take the bait, and then killed General Tian and surrounded General Huang, and may have set up a trap waiting for the next batch of reinforcements in Yunyang Mansion, but now there is no one available in the mansion, even if there are hundreds of soldiers but no one to lead the soldiers, we want to save but can't." ”

Tao Chenmo pondered for a moment and asked, "Lord Yan's report at this moment does not necessarily mean that the guilt cannot be escaped. ”

When Yan Yu heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly asked, "What does Brother Tao mean by this?" Let's take it into detail. ”

Tao Chenmo said slowly: "General Huang was besieged in Qingshan, we naturally can't sit idly by, but to save General Huang, we must mobilize the few defenders in Yunyang City, but once transferred, Yunyang City will become an empty city, if someone takes the opportunity to start an incident, it is easy to seize Yunyang, what Lord Yan has to do at this moment is to immediately report to Yuzhou, just say that the three generals of the Yunyang General's Mansion are the pioneers of the rebellion of the Ping Miao people, but the Miao people are fierce, and they design to kill the two generals Wu and Tian, and General Huang's life and death are unknown. And you, Lord Yan, are mobilizing troops to plan to rescue General Huang at the moment, but due to the limited strength of Yunyang, you still need to ask the Yuzhou Mansion to send troops to assist in the defense, so how can the Yuzhou Mansion pursue your guilt? ”

Yan Yu couldn't help but applaud when he heard it, and reported it to him, on the one hand, he was asking for credit for his colleagues, but the two generals Wu and Tian were dead, and they couldn't accept it if they were meritorious, if they really saved Huang Jiansi, they could still make him grateful for saving his life, so that the merit was invited for others, and the kindness was also promised to others, and the Yuzhou government would think that he was not robbing merit or greedy for merit and was greatly appreciated, on the other hand, he took over the general's mansion stall when Yunyang was in danger and calmly dispatched troops to maintain the safety of a city.

However, Yan Yu is also a careful person, and after thinking about it, he still felt that some questions didn't make sense, so he asked: "But this can't just be said, now that Yunyang City's air defense is weak and its troops are limited, how can I have the energy to rescue General Huang?" ”

Wei Wenzhong, who had been speechless, glanced at everyone in the hall at this time and said: "All the adults in this hall were surprised back then, and now it is the time to employ people, why don't Lord Yan choose one or two for him to lead the troops to rescue?" ”

The three generals of Yunyang are all folded in Qingshan, who of these old men still want to go to this troubled water again, everyone is afraid when they hear Wei Wenzhong say this, or they can't travel under the pretext of being old and sick, or they are incompetent under the excuse of being shallow in learning, Yan Yu couldn't help but scold when he heard it, and just had a little room for maneuver to let these people wipe it off, so he had to look at Tao Chenmo again and asked, "Brother Tao, look at this...... It's really annoying old man, but, Brother Tao, you are Dayuan Wuju, you, you may be qualified for this position? I know that it is overkill to send you to Baiyangdu for more than a year, but you have a large number of adults, don't care, as Brother Wei said, now is the time to employ people, the old man promises, as long as you can solve Yunyang's difficulty, the old man personally asked the Yuzhou General's Mansion for his life, and recommended you to use it greatly. ”

"Lord Yan, don't say these useless words, Tao has no ambitions, and he is also comfortable in this Baiyangdu, so he can't talk about overkill, but I really want to meet these Miao people." Tao Chenmo said calmly.

Yan Yu seemed to have seen the great savior, and couldn't help but smile, and said: "It's really good that Brother Tao can be ordered in danger, but Yunyang City now has less than four hundred troops, and the Miao people are fierce, how should you deploy and control it, brother?" ”

Tao Chen said at the end: "There are not many people, but in the right place, if Lord Yan wants me to lead the troops to quell the chaos, you need to listen to my few requests." ”

"Despite all that said"

Tao Chenmo said slowly: "I may need to borrow a few people from your mansion, one is the household registration officer, the other is the person whose ancestral home is near Qingshan, in addition, I hope I can decide how to use people by myself, my lord, do you think it is feasible?" ”

Yan Yu had no choice but to refuse at this time, seeing that someone was willing to stand up and clean up the mess for him, he couldn't ask for it, so he agreed one by one, and then announced in the hall: "According to the Dayuan etiquette system, when the generals of the General's Mansion are unable to take charge, the corresponding Assassin History, Fu Yin temporarily acts as the general's responsibility, Yunyang is the Dayuan Military Town, and now the three generals are in trouble, so the Yin of this Mansion is temporarily in charge of the affairs of the General's Mansion. Military disposition! ”

After announcing the military order, Yan Yu turned to Tao Chenmo again and asked, "Brother Tao, what else do you have to say?" ”

Tao Chenmo bowed slightly and said: "It's almost, if I want to send troops to Qingshan, I will mobilize Yunyang's troops, and Lord Yan will send someone to report to Yuzhou as soon as possible to send troops to assist in defense." ”

Yan Yu agreed, and immediately sent someone to report to the Yuzhou General's Mansion according to what Tao Chenmo said.

Tao Chenmo was authorized by Yan Yu, so he could use people as he wished, he looked at the people in the hall, and everyone tried their best to avoid Tao Chenmo's gaze, Tao Chenmo shook his head slightly, knowing that these people were embarrassed and useful, and then turned to Wei Wenzhong and said: "Wenzhong, you quickly go and pass the soldiers who fled back from Qingshan last time, I have something to ask, and in addition, pass Wang Liyang, the city guard of the south gate, to the hall." ”

Wei Wenzhong was very happy, firstly, he had something to do, and secondly, his friend Wang Liyang seemed to really have a chance to go into battle to kill the enemy, so he went with a three-step and two-step order.

Tao Chenmo continued to say to Yan Yu: "Lord Yan, please send someone to collect some wild chrysanthemums and mint as much as possible, the more the better, and in addition, let people collect realgar wine in the city, the more the better." ”

Although Yan Yu didn't know what Tao Chenmo wanted these things for, he didn't ask much, and immediately ordered his subordinates to start collecting, about half a pillar of incense time, Wang Liyang and the others all came to the hall, Wang Liyang looked at Tao Chenmo with excited and incredulous eyes, Tao Chenmo just smiled at him in response, and then began to explain one by one: "Wenzhong, you and Wang Liyang are responsible for gathering the soldiers in the city, as long as there are three hundred people, leave a hundred people to be responsible for the defense of the city, and bring all the hundred shields, arrows and spears, And overnight according to the protective array that you and I practiced in Baiyangdu on weekdays, the other 200 people were lightly armed, and only played the attack and killing array. ”

Wei Wenzhong and Wang Liyang took the order and left.

Tao Chenmo continued: "Household registration officer Lord Yu, you can roughly tell me about the number of registered residents in Miao Village, how many adult men are there? ”

The household registration officer said: "There are more than 900 people registered in Qingshan Miao Village, excluding women and children, the old and weak, there are only more than 300 adult men, but the Miao people are different from the Han people, and most of the women in the clan are fierce, so there are living forces, and the entire Miao Village should be about 400 to 500 people." ”

Tao Chenmo bowed slightly, turned to the other two, and said: "Your two ancestral hometowns are in the Qingshan area, you should know more about this place, you must draw a map of it for me before dawn, don't be too detailed, but the terrain direction, the pass path must be indicated as much as possible." ”

In the end, Tao Chenmo asked the soldier named Wu Changqing, who had seen in the hall in the morning with a white cloth wrapped in his hands and head, to go to Qingshan again, although Wu Changqing was still a little afraid, but thinking that many brothers were buried in Qingshan, he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

Tao Chenmo let everyone do their own duties, each show their own use, everything is going on in an orderly manner, Yan Yu has not seen such an orderly situation in the general's mansion for a long time, especially in this time of crisis, so he can't help but be a little impressed by Tao Chenmo, but at this time, it is not yet time to rest assured, everything has to depend on how the war will be tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Tao Chenmo gathered 300 soldiers to rush to Qingshan, all the way to the mouth of the Qinggu Valley this slowed down, although Tao Chenmo had seen the map, but really to the foot of Qingshan can not help but also seem a little surprised, the mountain is divided into two veins from the distance gradually widened, forming a natural valley mouth about two miles wide, the more the terrain is narrower, according to the map identification, this Miao Village is stationed in the deepest part of the valley at the intersection of two mountains, leaning against the mountain, facing the broad valley, can be said to sit peacefully, looking at the comer. Because of the fear of startling the snake, Tao Chenmo ordered the generals to rest in the valley first, and then invited Wu Changqing to briefly inquire about some information, according to Wu Changqing's description, and then entered the field of vision of the Miao scouts, Tao Chenmo looked at the terrain in the valley, and carefully looked at the map in his hand, combined with Wu Changqing's description, he already had a general understanding of the form of the valley in his heart.

Subsequently, Tao Chenmo ordered: "Wei Wenzhong, Wang Liyang, you two each lead a hundred lightly armed soldiers along the mountains on both sides of the sneak, enter the mountain behind the Miao Village with wolf smoke as the number, see the other party's wolf smoke after entering the village and directly hit the guards of the village gate, where armed resistance, kill without forgiveness, remember, do not kill the old and weak women and children, but Miao Village women also have many fierce people, need to be careful, if in case of danger to protect themselves first, after capturing the village gate do not have to defend to the death, just attract the Miao people to attack and then take advantage of the situation to attack, once there is no Miao people to attack again, The two of you can exit the village through the main gate. ”

Wang Liyang didn't understand a little, so he asked: "Since we have entered Miao Village, why do we have to withdraw?" ”

Tao Chen said: "If I guess correctly, there should not be many troops in this village, the Miao people are mainly in the valley to make plans, you two just think about entering the village from the back mountain, and the things in the valley are handed over to me." ”

Wei Wenzhong said: "Brother Tao, since you know that the main force of the Miao people is waiting for rabbits in the valley, why do you want to divide 200 troops against the two of us, but only bring 100 people?" ”

"I take this hundred soldiers are all armored, intended to defend not attack, these soldiers have not practiced the formation in detail on weekdays, few people are easy to command the formation to defend, you two will definitely disrupt the Miao deployment of the Miao village, once the Miao people in ambush in the valley see that the Miao village is broken and will be in chaos, then you two will come out of the Miao village again, and I will attack the Miao people, this battle will be won." Tao Chenmo said lightly.

Tao Chenmo did not wear armor, just a white coat, a silver gun, Wei Wenzhong knew that Tao Chenmo has always liked to travel lightly and not be bound by armor, but thinking of Tao Chenmo's intention to have fewer enemies this time, he couldn't help but be a little worried, thinking of this, he wanted to take off his armor to Tao Chenmo, but Tao Chenmo smiled lightly: "Life and death have a fate, wealth is in the sky, even if there is no armor to protect yourself, if the life is long, even if you go into battle shirtless, don't worry, I know in my heart, time is pressing, you two quickly enter the mountain, No further delay. ”

Wei Wenzhong saw that Tao Chenmo insisted and did not persuade him, and then the soldiers smeared the whole body with realgar wine, wild chrysanthemum, and mint powder according to Tao Chenmo's instructions, and then took their own orders.

After Wei Wenzhong and others entered the mountain for about an hour, Tao Chen led the remaining 100 soldiers to walk slowly, and entered the valley, and sure enough, he saw a head inserted in the tip of a knife and corpses scattered everywhere, Wu Changqing's face changed suddenly, and he choked up and said: "These Miao people are really deprived of their conscience, the day before yesterday, when I came with General Tian, I saw that the soldiers exposed their corpses in the wilderness, so I put them all in the wilderness and prepared to send them back to Yunyang Mansion after the battle, but I never thought that after our defeat, these Miao people scattered them again, what a sin!" ”

Tao Chenmo and everyone are all chilled when they see this, the so-called dead are big when they go into the ground for peace, even in wartime, after the war, the victor side must bury the enemy dead on the spot, I don't want these Miao people to do the opposite, it is really tyrannical, Tao Chenmo did not let the soldiers go to collect these corpses, but slightly bowed to the deceased and said: "You can bear with me for the time being, and then I will come to you after I kill the Miao thief to seek justice for you, please send you, since I Tao someone is here, I will not let you expose the corpse wilderness." After saying that, he turned around and got on the horse, and walked for about three miles, and saw a pot of ancient trees with a thick mouth, but at this moment the tree was no longer a corpse described by Wu Changqing, but two, one of which was a headless corpse, and the other was none other than Tian Zhongyi. If the scene that Shicai saw in the valley mouth just made people feel cold in their chests, then at this time in the hearts of the people was more angry, only to see the two corpses tied to a thick rope, hanging on the branches, the flesh and blood of the corpses were blurred and full of arrows, presumably they were first suspended in the air and then shot to death by random arrows, Tao Chenmo's indifferent face couldn't help but be filled with grief and indignation, he thought that the Miao people were cruel, but he didn't expect it to be so cruel, like a savage, it was really unbearable.

Tao Chenmo couldn't sit idly by at this moment, dismounted, bowed deeply to the two corpses, and then floated up along the trunk with both feet, slowly put down the bodies of the two generals with his hands, went down to the ground, and bowed again, and all the soldiers also bowed with sadness.

At this moment, Wu Changqing intentionally or unintentionally saw a figure not far away, flashed by, and then reported: "Master Tao, Miao scout." After saying that, he was about to chase, but Tao Chenmo stopped him and said slowly: "Let him go, where have we go?" ”

Wu Changqing looked around and said, "There is a small hill further ahead, and the hill is densely covered with forests and grass, and we were ambushed by the Miao people there last time. ”

Tao Chenmo looked at it fixedly, turned to a group of soldiers and said loudly: "Do you remember the formation that Chief Wei asked you to practice last night?" Remember, the march is jealous, whenever there is a surprise attack, when the shield is built, all hidden in the array, the Miao people are brutal, regardless of human morality, we should be the same enemy, in order to do justice, you will join me to punish the Miao thieves to quell the rebellion, so as to sacrifice the dead soldiers. ”

All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Punish the Miao thieves and put down the rebellion." ”

Subsequently, Tao Chenmo put the mount in the valley, and the soldiers on foot, to the low hill to slow down the pace, carefully pay attention to the movement in the forest, sure enough, the Miao people repeated the old tricks, only to see the forest arrows flying together, all towards the people, Tao Chenmo raised his gun signal, everyone immediately gathered in a circle to raise the shield to build a formation, most of the arrows of the Miao people were cast by themselves, and the army used the self is not the same, these random arrows are all shot on the thick shield except for the sound of tuk tuk is useless, a cadre of soldiers almost no damage. Miao people are a little discouraged when they can't hit a blow, but the arrows are limited, and they don't do anything after two rounds of random shooting, but these Miao people have won three times in a row against the Yunyang Army before, how can they give up on a small setback, soon, everyone heard countless chattering voices in the forest, thinking that this Miao people saw that the arrows were ineffective and began to release insects and snakes, insects and snakes wriggled, and everyone was inevitably panicked at first sight, but Tao Chenmo took the lead, standing in front of the formation and his face did not change, the generals saw the boss like this, and their hearts were also settled a little, and the insects and snakes all came, But ten steps before the battle stopped, just left and right shaking no longer half a step forward, it turned out, the soldiers were smeared with realgar wine and wild chrysanthemum, mint and other drugs, these snakes and insects are usually fierce but see the nemesis have nothing to do but wander left and right, Tao Chen saw the opportunity just to give an order, everyone poured out countless drinks and drugs from the formation, the insects and snakes were restless, all of them ran into the jungle and died. The Miao people had succeeded in their previous plans, but they would have thought that they would run into walls everywhere today, and they were annoyed and angry for a while, and they saw that the number of Tao Chen's last group was small, so they no longer hid in the forest and came out with weapons and attacked the formation.

Tao Chenmo ordered: "Keep the formation." Then only with a gun to greet each other, Miao people only saw a person to fight suddenly annoyed and excited, running in front of more than a dozen people holding big knives, bamboo knives and other close to the chop, Tao Chenmo to the waist as the axis, silver gun sweeping, the tip of the gun only heard the pop sound, in an instant there were four or five people screaming and falling, others and to see the powerful still rushed to the face, Tao Chenmo held a gun to greet each other, dancing out of countless gun flowers, both hands skillfully switched, a move "autumn wind and falling leaves", close to the dozen or so people have not understood what happened to have been a life whine. In the eyes of the Miao people, the generals of this Yunyang Mansion have all become dead souls under the sword, and the others are only like this at most, where have they ever seen such a capable person, so everyone who followed them couldn't help but feel a chill and stopped moving.

At this time, an old man in gray stood out in the Miao array, holding a Qingguang ghost head knife, looking like a powerful character, Tao Chenmo thought about it for a while, and thought that this person should be the person Wu Changqing said who would cut Tian Zhongyi off the horse within a few moves. The old man's face was thin, but his eyes were full of fierceness, he was a little surprised to see that Tao Chenmo was fiercer than the other three, but he decided that Tao Chenmo's two fists were difficult to defeat the four hands, and then an order, two hundred Miao people rushed straight to Tao Chenmo, Tao Chenmo did not love to fight, turned around and did not enter the formation, and said loudly: "Set up a formation!" ”

The generals immediately raised their shields to form a circle, the shields and shields were connected, forming a shield wall, the Miao people did not know the benefits and only rushed horizontally, and when the Miao people approached the front of the battle, Tao Chenmo said loudly: "Thorn!" A sharp spear came out from the gap between the shields, the Miao people came too violently and did not reflect the time at all, dozens of people who ran in front of them all hit the spear straight and were pierced, the people behind were blocked from seeing clearly, so they just rushed to kill, Tao Chen stood in the middle of the formation, and continued to order: "Thorn! So repeatedly, there are dozens of people become live targets, only a blink of an eye, Miao people died nearly 100 people, the old man in gray saw that the situation was not good and immediately stopped the offensive, Miao people were unwilling but there was nothing to do, they were all angry and scolded, suddenly saw the fireworks in the Miao village gradually rising, shouting and killing one after another, everyone knew that the Miao village was broken, because their wives and children were in the village, the Miao village was broken, the Miao people suddenly messed up, and they all wanted to immediately run back to the village to support, but Tao Chenmo led people to wait, these Miao people were afraid that they would save themselves and be killed by Tao Chenmo from the rear, At this moment, it is neither advancing nor retreating, but seeing that the fireworks in Miao Village are getting thicker and thicker, and the sound of killing is everywhere, he finally lost his mind and ran desperately, the old man in gray wanted to say hello, and he had to retreat when he saw everyone disperse, but after all, he had some knowledge, and beckoned a dozen people around him to look back while looking at it, in case Tao Chenmo suddenly attacked.

A group of Miao people hurried back to the gate of Miao Village and wanted to enter the village to help, but the gate of the village suddenly opened, and it was not their own Miao people who came out of it but Yunyang soldiers. The old man in gray only felt real despair at this moment, under his calculations, Yunyang Mansion lost three generals in a row, and almost did not waste his efforts, he never thought that this battle would be defeated so completely, and he had almost no power to fight back, but he still wanted to make a last fight.

The old man in gray looked at the generals in Yunyang, the two leaders who came out of the village gate and Tao Chenmo behind him were very young, he couldn't tell who was the boss for a while, he thought maybe it was the boy in white behind him, but how could there be a boss who didn't wear armor when he went into battle, and he was puzzled for a while, but after all, he had seen decades of wind and rain, and said loudly after a little groaning: "Forgive the old man for being clumsy, I don't know who is the commander in the army?" ”

Wang Liyang scolded: "The old boy who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, when he dies, he still asks who the boss is, what does this have to do with you?" ”

The old man in gray said in a deep voice: "Even if you die, you have to die to understand, the old man knows that there is no reason to be lucky today, but since the two armies are fighting, there are rules for fighting, and it shouldn't be too much for the old man to challenge the boss in front of the battle, right?" ”

Wang Liyang was even more annoyed when he heard this, and scolded: "I don't know the old thing that the sky is high and the earth is thick, just because you still want to challenge the coach, pass my level first." "Then you have to raise your sword to greet you.

"Brother Wang, don't worry, if he wants to challenge the coach, you might as well give him a chance, let him know what is outside the world, and let him die blindly." Wei Wenzhong grabbed Wang Liyang and said, then lowered his voice and continued, "Don't you also want to see how my Tao brother is doing." After speaking, he looked at Tao Chenmo, Tao Chenmo naturally knew his intentions, so he nodded to him knowingly.

Wang Liyang also felt some truth when he heard it, but after the words were spoken, it was inevitable that he would be a little embarrassed to take it back at this time, Wei Wenzhong saw this and said loudly: "Originally, it was enough for me to deal with you, but today since you are defeated, let you be convinced of defeat, so as not to have some mouthless tongues in the future, behind you is wearing white clothes is the commander of this battle, General Tao Chen, General Tao, if you have anything to say, you will say it to our general." ”

Although the old man in gray guessed a few points, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, the young man in white in front of him was too young, not tall, and even looked a little slender, and he didn't have a single armor, the only thing that could have some contact with the boss was that pair of cold eyes and the indifference and calmness exuded by his body, he had not directly fought with Tao Chenmo, but the battle in the valley had seen Tao Chenmo's power, and dozens of people were difficult to enter him, he thought to himself that he was at most like this, but he couldn't be as easy as Tao Chenmo, He knew very well that he had seen a master today.

The old man in gray turned to look at Tao Chenmo, and arched his hand: "I don't want Your Excellency to be the commander of an army at a young age, maybe Yunyang is unavailable, or maybe Your Excellency has something special, but in any case, the old man today is to be seen, but the sword has no eyes, if the old man accidentally hurts Your Excellency and looks to the Yin Cao Difu to take care of himself, it is no wonder that the old man." ”

When Wang Liyang and Wei Wenzhong heard this, they were all so angry that they blew their noses and glared, and they couldn't wait to pounce on him and kick him hard. But Tao Chenmo had two smiles on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "Since you killed the tax collector, you have begun to cover yourself with soil, if you say that you will do something to resist for your own interests, I can understand, but you are brutal in killing and cruel, and you are cruel to the human whip and bones, it is really a tyrannical crime that is unforgivable." If you still want to struggle uselessly today, I am happy to accompany you. ”

The old man in gray laughed wildly: "The Han people are unreasonable, for the sake of arrogance and lasciviousness, and the tyranny is tyrannical, trapping our tribe in danger, but the whipping of the corpse bones has been regarded as benevolent and righteous, we were going to rush into Yunyang City and slaughter all the dog officials in the city, but the world is not benevolent, this matter is because of the old man and I hope it will end because of the old man, today the old man is fighting against you, life and death are not to be forced, and I hope not to implicate others in the clan." ”

Tao Chenmo said coldly: "You know not to be innocently implicated, but why do you use some vicious tricks against my Yunyang soldiers, since I am here, how to make my own decisions, I don't need you to teach me, anyone who is involved in rebellion will not be spared, and it is useless for you to say more." ”

The old man in gray was a little annoyed, and said fiercely: "It's really arrogant at a young age, please." "Say goodbye, raise your sword and swear, and vow to live and die.

Tao Chenmo didn't step forward, just made a gesture of please, the old man thought that Tao Chenmo was a junior so let him make the first move, but he never thought that Tao Chenmo was unmoved and still stood in the wind, the old man was suddenly angry, picked up the ghost knife in his hand and slashed at Tao Chenmo, Tao Chenmo did not dodge, but raised his gun to greet him, and the swords and guns suddenly aroused sparks, the old man ate a hard block and suddenly felt numb, and his steps were a little floating, but he was a little hot after all, and he couldn't withdraw the big knife and cut it into a cut and went straight to Tao Chenmo's waist, Tao Chen turned around and erected the spear at the end of the wheel, and the old man in gray simmered on the silver gun again, and once again returned in vain, the tiger's mouth had begun to turn from numbness to pain, and his heart couldn't help but secretly tighten, knowing that he might not have a chance of winning this battle. Here Tao Chenmo and the gray-clothed old man defended and attacked, but over there Wang Liyang was extremely anxious, wondering why Tao Chenmo only defended and did not attack, but Wei Wenzhong was full of joy, and made a bet with Wang Liyang, saying that the gray-clothed old man could not pass twenty moves in Tao Chenmo's hands, Wang Liyang would be suspicious, but he was still anxious. While speaking, the old man changed his moves again, the ghost head knife instantly slashed a few arcs from front to back to cover Tao Chenmo under the knife light, Tao Chenmo lifted the gun skillfully to block, and took advantage of the old man's change of moves to stab the old man's chest directly, the old man saw that the cold of the tip of the gun was attacking and had to block it with the blade, seeing that the tip of the gun was about to hit the blade, Tao Chenmo suddenly withdrew his offensive hands slightly and turned the tail of the gun slightly and turned the tail to go straight to the old man's lower abdomen, the old man in gray saw this and wanted to block the swept gun tail with his hand, but he was still half a beat slower, only to feel a sharp pain in the lower abdomen instantly spread throughout the body, In order to prevent Tao Chenmo from continuing to attack the old man in gray to retreat, but Tao Chenmo is always one step faster than him, and the old man has not withdrawn far, Tao Chenmo has already bullied and stabbed the same trick directly into the chest, the old man just took a dull loss just now and knew that this trick is endless, so he didn't dare to slack off at all, so he sank with his left hand to protect his lower abdomen to prevent Tao Chen's last trick from repeating, and his right hand tried his best to block the knife in front of his chest, so that he could barely make up for the flaws. But because of this, his strength was dispersed for no reason, and Tao Chenmo also saw it really, so this shot stabbed no longer changed, and steadily hit the old man's cross-stalled knife body, only to hear the sound of "ding", the knife and gun hit each other again, the old man's strength was scattered, where can I eat Tao Chenmo's cohesion blow, only to feel the severe pain in the tiger's mouth, the blood and blood in the five internal organs surged, and I couldn't help but take five steps back, Tao Chenmo no longer tried martial arts, and took the opportunity of the old man's retreat to hook a fist-sized stone on the ground with his toes, and then swept it with a silver gun. The stone was like a tiger out of the cage and went straight to the chest of the old man in gray, the old man in gray took a few steps back and did not stand firm, where was there still a chance to react, only to see the stone hit the old man's chest, and the old man in gray instantly flew out of the distance, only to feel that the five internal organs were displaced, and the six internal organs were split, and the throat spurted out a mouthful of blood with a sweet "wow". He couldn't believe all this in front of him, he expected that this young man in white was strong in martial arts, but he never expected that he would not be able to pass ten moves under him, and Wang Liyang felt incredible with him, Wang Liyang was even more surprised than the old man in gray, only Wei Wenzhong was not surprised as if he was commonplace.

A group of Miao people were shocked to see that the majestic leader on weekdays was instantly defeated, and Tao Chenmo said sharply: "You will be punished according to the law if you are armed to murder the court officials, and you will be punished according to the law. ”

Everyone hesitated for a moment and then lowered their weapons, and the old man in gray closed his eyes tightly, knowing that the general situation was gone. Tao Chen finally ordered the Miao weapons to be confiscated, and the more than 100 people who abandoned the weapons were tied up, and all of them were escorted back to Yunyang, while ordering Wei Wenzhong and others to collect the bodies of more than 1,000 soldiers who had died in the previous battle, and on the other hand, people interrogated the old man in gray about the whereabouts of Huang Jiansi, but the old man was always silent, perhaps still ashamed of the defeat without resistance just now, and asked several other Miao people, everyone was silent, Wang Liyang scolded Wu Changqing when he was about to pick up a knife and split people: "If everything is as Lord Tao predicted, If the Miao people have been repeating their old tricks, I think these Miao people must have besieged General Huang in the place where we were besieged at that time. ”

Tao Chenmo thought about it and made sense, so he immediately ordered Wu Changqing to bring more than 100 people to rescue Huang Jiansi and his party. Everything was dealt with properly, Tao Chenmo and everyone were ready to return to Yunyang, just a short distance to see Wu Changqing had led a group of injured soldiers out of the jungle, according to Tao Chenmo's plan, his own soldiers divided into two ways to attack Miao Village will be able to besiege Huang Jiansi and others Miao people to bring over, and this is exactly the case, so Wu Changqing did not encounter any obstacles when he led the troops to go, but the Yunyang soldiers who were surrounded on the mountain were all injured, mostly bitten by insects and snakes, these insects and snakes are highly poisonous, and it is a blessing to save their lives. Huang Jiansi, the deputy general of the left, was severely injured by the old man in gray before, and was devoured by poisonous snakes, he was already dying, and everyone had not returned to Yunyang, and the poor general Huang died with a whimper.
