Chapter 88: Who's Who's Prey
In this short period of time, Chu Jiangmian, who was heavy on filial piety, did not have a trace of expression on his face. He just calmly finished shooting the crossbow arrows in his hand, and in the chaos ahead, at least a dozen horsemen died under his arrows.
After all, there are still some regrets! There are too few crossbow bolts. If there were enough crossbow arrows, he had absolute confidence, and with only twenty people around him, one crossbow per man, would be enough to shoot all the cavalry who rushed over ten zhang away, and he would not pose any threat to this side at all.
As for the attack on the back of the carriage, he was not worried. With Murong leaving the city, not to mention a mere two hundred horsemen, it was twice as much, and under such favorable terrain conditions, they were only slaughtered. That young man's power is not known to the world. But after today's battle of Hulukou, his name will surely be valued by all countries hostile to Zhao.
Chu Jiangmian threw away the crossbow machine in his hand and pulled out his long sword. He felt a fire burning in his chest, and if he couldn't vent his grief with the blood of the enemy today, he didn't know if he would be able to carry it. The enemy on the other side was fierce, and he could already feel their determination to kill him. Even though nearly half of them were killed and wounded under the blow of the crossbow arrows, the rest of the people continued to rush forward without hesitation. As the distance drew closer, he saw a familiar face through the flying dust and the sound of thunder.
"Sure enough, it's you! Since you have such the courage to come to the Nine Elements Mountain, let's settle the old accounts and the new accounts together! ”
Chu Jiangmian muttered. Then with a swing of his sword, he jumped out of the carriage. All the guards around him brandished their swords and stood in front of him. Captain Wu Sheng, who had been fighting beside him, also drew his sword again. However, he was not willing to discard the crossbow machine just now, but carried it behind him. The power of the crossbow bolt gave him a great shock. With such a divine weapon, he said that he would never let go again.
Captain Wu Sheng slashed his sword and blocked Chu Jiangmian, and he already admired His Royal Highness the prince behind him. On him, you can vaguely see a little shadow of King Zhao. At the moment of the great enemy, the kind of edge that is no longer concealed makes him, like many people, both surprised and happy.
The young man who was about to ascend to the throne was able to fight without fear and draw his sword. What reason do they, the soldiers who are infinitely loyal to the Zhao State, retreat half a step?
Captain Wu Sheng and all the guards kept a close eye on the cavalry that had crossed the dead horses and rushed back to kill them, ready for battle. But I heard Chu Jiangmian say lightly again.
"These guys are all pretending to be from the Qin Kingdom! Last night's rebellion in Dragon City must have been their hands and feet. ”
"I see! How did the king know that they were from Qin? ”
"Because I know the general at the head! He is the son of King Qin, Nie Wushuang, who is used to being called one of the four princes in the world! Since we met in the Gourd Valley today, do you have the confidence to keep him? ”
"I want to die for the king! He has no return. ”
Everyone shouted in unison, their eyes shining brightly, and their chests boiling. Since there is such a big man here, even if he fights for his life, he must not be allowed to escape.
The sound of killing rose sharply, and the light of the sword inspired the will to fight, and for the sake of loyalty and honor, they were about to begin a real bloody hand-to-hand fight.
And dozens of zhang away, the spies of the Qin State who no longer had to worry about shooting with crossbow arrows finally waited for the time to harvest their lives with the knives in their hands. Nie Wushuang, who was in the lead, had clearly seen Chu Jiangmian's figure. He knew that the other party must have recognized him, so he simply threw off his helmet and let the mountain breeze blow his hair in a bun. He just wanted Chu Jiangmian to watch how he cut off his head!
At this moment, Nie Wushuang's eyes only had Chu Jiangmian, and he stared at him tightly, calculating the distance that gradually shrank. He didn't care about the previous casualties, although Zhao Guo's new-style crossbow arrows were terrifying, but Chu Jiangmian said that he couldn't escape today's catastrophe! As long as you kill this person yourself, all the sacrifices are worth it.
Nie Wushuang's war horse was fast, he shook off a large section of the people behind him, and the sword light attacked him, and with his long roar, the double sword gods came out of nowhere, injuring five or six people in a row, but he didn't love fighting, he went straight into the crowd, and saw Chu Jiangmian standing in front of the road. A cruel smile appeared on his face, and the sword light flickered, straight to the point.
The last time he was in Zhongyue Mountain in Luocheng, Nie Wushuang had already learned Chu Jiangmian's cunning, so at this moment, he didn't plan to keep his hand at all, only by using the sharpest means to make the other party's body look different, he was completely relieved. Nie Wushuang is conceited, and although Chu Jiangmian was hidden in the past, he is definitely not his opponent. This sword blocked all his retreats, and no matter who came to the rescue, he would be killed first.
However, what people didn't expect was that Chu Jiangmian didn't dodge. He just looked at Nie Wushuang who came from Pegasus, the wind blowing in his face, ruffling his sideburns, but suddenly heard him say something coldly.
"Nie Wushuang...... You're dead! ”
The long sword was swallowed, and the distance was no more than half a foot. Nie Wushuang was stunned suddenly, but suddenly felt that he had pounced forward with people and horses. He immediately knew that something was wrong, and his mind was in a hurry, but he didn't have time to think about it, his feet kicked the horse's back, and his body rose rapidly, after all, he was a disciple trained by Qishan Ancestor, and his real ability was very human. He was already in mid-air. When I glanced down in my busy schedule, this surprise was not trivial.
But I saw that in front of Chu Jiangmian's foothold, a big pit suddenly collapsed. And the war horse he was riding fell headlong in its entirety, and was quickly buried half of its body by the sand. If he hadn't reacted quickly just now, I'm afraid he would have been trapped in it by now. A wave of anger rose from his chest, Nie Wushuang took a deep breath, looked at the position where Chu Jiangmian was standing, and was about to kill the shapeshifting phantom in mid-air again, but saw the other party suddenly look up at him, and then three cold rays shot out from the edge of the sand pit, shooting directly towards him.
Nie Wushuang instantly sensed the imminence of death. Unexpectedly, Chu Jiangmian actually set up such a killing move for him in a moment! This is something he never thought of in any way. At this moment, he is in mid-air, there is no way to avoid, there is no way to hide, the other party's scheming is really terrible!
However, Nie Wushuang is Nie Wushuang after all. The title of one of the four princes in the world is definitely not obtained out of thin air. He cultivated hard in the depths of Qishan for ten years, and after thousands of tempers, the infinite potential accumulated in his body finally played a role at this moment.
Three crossbow arrows, chasing souls and killing people! Just when there was no room for it, I saw Nie Wushuang in mid-air, his two swords crossed, and he roared, and there were phantoms of sword light in front and back, left and right. "Zheng, Zheng, Zheng" made a few soft sounds, and the three crossbow arrows were broken into several sections, and they were sent flying everywhere. And his sword finally couldn't withstand the destruction of such strength, and at the same time it was broken.
Nie Wushuang used up his breath in one breath, and finally saved his life, but he could no longer support his body, and fell down on his back, without the protection of internal force, this fall was not light. A mouthful of blood spurted out on the spot, and the blood in his chest was tumbling, as uncomfortable as he was.
However, the killer moves specially prepared for him have not been used up yet! Nie Wushuang didn't breathe evenly, the corners of his eyes were dazzling, he was horrified, and hurriedly tried his best to roll away to the side, and a bright golden hook was deeply inserted into the position where he was lying just now. Slow down for a while, and you'll definitely be pierced in the heart!
Nie Wushuang rolled over, and the golden hook flew over again against the ground. He had to jump away again and again to dodge, and he was embarrassed. And at this moment, he heard a sword roar like a dragon's groan, Chu Jiangmian finally made a move, and the Fengyun Sword was cut off on the head...... Nie Wushuang has lived so long, and he has never encountered such a situation of life and death today! He felt like he was going crazy. He didn't even have a blade in his hand, and he suffered serious internal injuries, so he had to desperately dodge and retreated to the edge of the rock wall of the valley.
And in such a short period of time, the situation in the gourd valley has changed dramatically. The more than 200 cavalrymen who launched an attack behind the carriage were beaten to pieces by Murong Licheng's lance, and they were crushed. Moreover, a temporary contingent consisting of reserve battalion veterans and a small number of dragoons finally rushed in from the mouth of the valley. These enraged soldiers of the Zhao State mercilessly pursued and killed the cavalry disguised as the secret spies of the Qin State everywhere, and the valley became a chaotic battlefield everywhere.
And those remaining centaurs who attacked from the front with Nie Wushuang were no better at the moment. The guards of the Zhao State saw that Chu Jiangmian knocked the other party's leading general off his horse in the blink of an eye, and they were about to be captured alive. I can't help but have a big boost in morale. The people of the Qin State, who had already begun to panic, were still their opponents. A small number of young masters saw that the situation was not good, and hurried over to help them, while the others were left to flee or be killed.
Nie Wushuang naturally didn't care about these at the moment. His own life is now in danger, and the only thing he wants is to be able to find a way to escape. And Chu Jiangmian naturally wouldn't give him such a chance. From the moment Bai Ye set up the mechanism, he had no intention of letting Nie Wushuang escape from the gourd mouth alive! This is the first time he has shown his grandeur, and he must do his best to be perfect.
Under the continuous attacks of Bai Ye and Chu Jiangmian, Nie Wushuang, who was seriously injured, added a few more external injuries, dripping with blood, and gasping for breath with his back against the stone wall on the side of the valley. He had no way back, and his heart was extremely depressed, and it was the first time that he felt like such a failure.
"Could it be that this gourd mouth is the place where I am buried?"
The desperate prince of Qin Guo looked at Chu Jiangmian, who he regarded as his lifelong enemy, with an expressionless sword stabbing again, he closed his eyes, and his heart was like ashes.
