Eighty-five
The sound of the fireworks still echoed through the mountains, and the smoke still swirled in the air. I'll go
When the long-lost brigade of Ming troops came out of a swarm from behind a nearby hillside, the black-clothed knights at the mountain pass were in a commotion, many people didn't believe their eyes, and they didn't seem to believe that the incompetent Ming army actually had the courage to run out and intervene at this time, and some people even didn't believe that it was the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who came.
But looking at the crowd of more than 1,000 people, as well as the fluttering Ming army flags, as well as the bloated copper nail cotton armor and iron leaf chain mail worn by the other party's soldiers, all prove their identity: the regular armed forces of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong.
And there is a large flag in the team is the most conspicuous, about five meters high, the flag is two meters long, the triangle has a jagged flag edge, the pole is with a tasseled pheasant tail, there is a trumpet belt, about two meters long. The colors on the flag are red hearts, blue edges, yellow belts, beads, pheasant tails, and four big characters on the book, "Former Military Division", and a big "Li" character in the middle.
It shows that the person who came is not a commander, but also a lieutenant.
And there is a flag next to it that is also quite conspicuous, slightly shorter than the main general flag in the middle, and the flag is slightly smaller, but the style is the same, that is, there is no tasseled pheasant tail, and the trumpet belt is much shorter, and the flag color is a yellow heart and red edge yellow belt, Yue Xiang barely got up from the ground and recognized that it was a front army thousand general flags.
The Ming army called? His surprise even surpassed that of the others, but the next moment the pain in his stomach immediately caused a layer of cold sweat to ooze from his head, forcing him to kneel again. A terrible purple-red hematoma in his chest and abdomen slanted from his left shoulder to his right hip, and the clothes on his upper body had been shattered, and he even felt cracks in his ribs.
His first meeting with Mangrutai ended in a complete defeat.
Only then did he know what it meant to be called the number one fierce general, especially in a battle group like the Eight Banners Army, where the strong were respected, and being able to be called the number one fierce general was not something that could be recognized by only wielding a knife, dancing a gun, riding a horse and shooting an arrow. Manguthai's force was stronger than anyone he had ever seen, and he only realized this now, it was too underestimated.
There is a price to be paid for underestimating the enemy, and he has paid it now, and it is much more serious than he thinks.
He didn't expect that Manggutai's real killing move was not the iron rod in his hand, nor the arrow with terrifying whirlwind, but an ordinary braid, a braid composed of hair that symbolized the identity of the Jurchens. It was the braid that dragged behind his head that knocked him out of the air like lightning.
And Yue Xiang felt that it was not a braid that hit him, but an iron whip, he didn't even see clearly how Mang Ergutai made his move, he just remembered that his head flicked, and then a black shadow exploded diagonally on his body, he didn't have time to guard at all, and flew out like a cloud.
He had never suffered such a big loss. Now his body was churning with qi and blood, as if it were burning. His ribs were swollen, his throat and eyes were salty, and a mouthful of blood spit out, he knew that these were all blood in his body, and it was good for him to spit it out. But this time he felt that his physical recovery was much slower than before, and he didn't even have the strength to heal his luck now, and the Venus in front of him burst into chaos, and he fell into a person's arms after two swings.
It was Xiao Wan who hugged him, and when the woman saw Yue Xiang being knocked down, she completely ignored everything, ran over crying, hugged Yue Xiang in her arms, and screamed at Xianggong in a dumb voice while shaking his body. And at this moment, the unknown brocade-clothed Wei weirdo has already fought with Wang Haoxian for more than a dozen moves and has the upper hand. Prefer the fastest update
"Wang Haoxian, do you think that with Lao Tzu's identity, you dare to show up easily without any preparation? Do you think you can keep Lao Tzu here with the help of the Tartars? ”
The skill of the Jinyi Wei monster is very good, one line higher than Wang Haoxian's level, and Wang Haoxian fought with Yue Xiang just now, but his physical strength has not fully recovered, and he has fallen behind at this moment.
The opponent's body is like a whirlwind around him, the footwork under his feet seems to have the direction of gossip, a pair of iron palms conjure up a heavy wind, and he can only return one move if he guards against two moves. And he found that no matter how he got out of the battle, the other party followed him like a shadow, and the palm power was heavier and heavier.
And the opponent can still talk while fighting to disturb his mind, which shows that the opponent is at ease.
That's impossible! This person was still playing tricks to trap Li Guoyong's Fu Ghost just now, how could he run out and fight with him again? Can he do both? Unless he's a god!
"Do you know what the fireworks were all about?! The border army brigades of Qinghe Fort in Liaodong, Hoi An Fort and Liaoyang are about to be killed, and none of you thieves can get out! You see, they're already here! The strange man yelled in his ear, which made Wang Haoxian upset, how could he have the strength to look carefully down the mountain now, but his heart was becoming more and more flustered.
Their secret activities outside the Guanguan are disgraceful, especially in collusion with the rebel feudal clan of Jianzhou, if this is spread out, it will be tantamount to rebellion, and they will punish the nine clans. Now that the brocade guards of the imperial court have actually come here, he expects that it will definitely not be untargeted.
Since the other party has recognized him, he must do anything to him, otherwise it will be a great disaster to let him return to Beijing alive. But the other party's martial arts are so skillful, it is difficult for him to pick it up alone. And if what he said is true, this battle is really a premeditated action of the Ming army, wouldn't it be even more useless?
At the same time that Yue Xiang was knocked down by Manggutai just now, a firework rocket that came out of nowhere in the crowd flew into the sky and exploded, obviously a signal to summon reinforcements. He also saw it, and apparently this person had a member of the same party nearby......
Accomplice!?
Wang Haoxian suddenly woke up and was anxious to open his mouth to warn, but the opponent suddenly strengthened his offensive, opened his arms all the way to the big palm, and smashed at him like a storm. It was easy to wait for the opponent to slow down, and he blocked a punch and flew back, shouting in his mouth: "Senior brother, be careful......"
Then the brocade-clothed guard monster didn't chase after him, he took a wild breath, a strange bright red flashed on his face, his eyes were full of essence, and the air flow around him seemed to turn into a whirlpool, and in an instant, there was no trace left that was completely absorbed by his body. Then there was a shock of one arm, and a palm imprint passed through the air.
A devastating hurricane rose out of thin air.
The other side of the battlefield.
When Yue Xiang was shot down from the air by his scooping stunt, Manggutai didn't pay any attention to this defeated general, because no one else could still fight after his blow, and Yue Xiang was just a waste in his eyes. If he understood Yue Xiang's value, he would definitely go up and capture him alive immediately, but unfortunately he didn't understand it at the moment.
In front of him, the strange man who just came out of the ground is still fighting with Wang Haoxian, how much can he do alone? His attention had now shifted to the Ming army swarming from behind.
He didn't expect that there were so many Ming troops hidden in this vicinity.
No one could see exactly where the fireworks signal came from, but it was definitely their own side. This is obviously a signal to summon reinforcements, could it be that he has also fallen into an ambush? The Ming army brigade of thousands of people had obviously been hidden here a long time ago, waiting for the signal to come out.
This group of Ming soldiers is quite brave, thinking that the intelligence of the large-scale invasion of nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses of Zhenghong Banner has spread all over the castles of Yanbian of the Ming army, and there are still people who dare to lead the troops out and shake around in the field.
"Master, I'm afraid that this Ming army is not good. I'm afraid we've fallen for it. "Manggutai is not surrounded by bloodthirsty men, but also a few clear-headed subordinates. Seeing that the timing of this Ming army coming was so strange, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. They didn't pay attention to the thousands of Ming troops, they were afraid that if the other party came prepared for them, I was afraid that in addition to these thousands of people, it would be difficult to say how many others there would be behind.
After all, the west of the Great Wall is still the territory of the Ming army in the traditional sense. There are no eyes on the battlefield, and if there is a mistake in Manggutai, everyone will be doomed.
"Medium?" Manggutai pondered the situation in front of him, and it was obvious that this Ming army was not passing by here by chance. But he was confident that he would take the initiative in his own hands, and he could capture or kill these two Han people first, and then defeat the Ming army, and then calmly disappear without leaving a trace, or change the order.
Even if it's a strategy? I don't believe I'm going to lose to these incompetent Ming troops. As many soldiers and horses as he ambushes, I will kill as many soldiers and horses as he has! The Jurchens are no longer the people who were bullied by the Han people in the past, and now we are the most powerful army in Liaodong!
"Master, our purpose this time is not to engage the Ming army. If you want to kill the Han dog, there is a chance to do it, if you show your traces and spread it, and you will be known by the white flag and the red flag that we are playing ghosts, I'm afraid it will not be good for us. ”
Du Mubu, the leader of the henchmen and guards beside Manggutai, knew that things were going to be worse when he saw Manggutai's appearance. This team was basically formed by him, and he always thought that the purpose of this elite army should be used for sneak attacks, raids and other secret battles. It would be inappropriate for frontal combat. Besides, now that the enemy situation is unknown, it is too risky to fight to the death.
"Besides, the banner of the Ming Army, it is probably the Ming army stationed in Puhe and Hoi An Fort, the leaders of the Ming army in these two places, Li Guangrong and Wang En, are all daring to fight, and the Ming army is also quite good at fighting, and there are firearms to help, even if we can win, I am afraid that the damage will not be less." Du Mubu's meaning is to beat around the bush, but in fact, it is not worth it to say that such a war is not worth it.
"The Jurchen is invincible, we now have hundreds of strong soldiers in hand, and the Han dog is coming with thousands of troops, and I am not afraid." Manggutai spat at the ground with disdain, "Measure what these wine bags and rice bags can do, Du Mubu, you lead a hundred people here to press the formation for me, and when I break this group of Han dogs, it's not too late for us to return to the army!" ”
After the order was given, Manggutai turned his horse's head and raised his iron rod to show off his might. And the black knights around him let out a wild howl. He turned around and was about to rush down the mountain, but he heard a muffled thunderous explosion behind him
Looking back again, I saw that Wang Haoxian's body, which was fine just now, was like a bird with folded wings that had been hit by a gun, and was falling to the ground from mid-air. And the strange man kept his palm, but he was seven or eight paces away.
Then, the talisman corpse, which had been covered by the soft soil that had not been roofed, suddenly struggled out of the ground, and large chunks of solid earth and stones were lifted out, and a terrible rumbling sound erupted again. The ground that had been spelled out by the people suddenly regained at some point.
However, before it could continue to be aggressive, Li Guoyong, who was urging the spell on the side, felt bad in advance, half of it was intuition, and half of it was Wang Haoxian's caution just now that made him feel like he had fallen into some trap. The next moment, she noticed that the shadows under the feet of the black knights around her seemed to suddenly move, and a strange black shadow swam towards her position like a snake pounced on its prey at an alarming speed.
Qimen Dunjia!?
Wang Haoxian's level of magic is not good, but Li Guoyong is an expert, and he immediately realized that this kind of shadow technique and the spell that trapped his own talisman corpse belonged to the school of Qimen Dunjia. I didn't expect that there was a second killer besides that native!
He wanted to meet the enemy but couldn't, because he had to devote himself to urging the rune, and once he stopped halfway, he might be in danger of being bitten by the rune, and these Jurchens around him couldn't be relied on at all if they couldn't understand the language. And the other party didn't give him time to arrange calmly at all, only to see that the dangerous ghost came to him in the blink of an eye and jumped up, a pair of iron fists with a fierce wind slammed in.
"Heart**, Tiger Crash Cannon!"
This is exactly the scene that Manger Gutai saw when he looked back, first Wang Haoxian was knocked down, and then Li Guoyong was also knocked out and vomited blood and fell. And the undead warrior who seemed to have just crawled out of the underground tomb was still looking for a target in all directions, and suddenly after Li Guoyong fell, his whole body also had a spasm and convulsions. A strange black mist emerged from the seven apertures, and then his body fell to the ground, and the black mist condensed into a ball in the air, and finally turned into a miserable ball of firelight and burned away.
Seeing that Li Guoyong had just gotten up from the ground, he suddenly bled again, and he turned over and fell down with a miserable howl.
What a strange gas! As a martial arts master, Mang Er Gutai did not understand the mystery of the Qimen Dun Fang technique in the Central Plains, but he was instinctively very sensitive to the grasp of the breath, and he just felt that there was an indescribable and very offensive aura around Li Guoyong, but this breath suddenly disappeared, and Li Guoyong was suddenly seriously injured.
Wang Haoxian wiped the blood foam on his mouth, coughed and glared at the other party, could this be the legendary atmospheric power splitting empty palm? Tearing open his front coat, he saw a lotus-shaped blood mark on his chest.
"Bagua Lotus Palm! You...... It's ......"
"What's going on?!" Mang Ergutai shouted angrily, he thought that settling these two Han people was a trivial matter of scooping and pinching, but he didn't expect that he couldn't do it until now, and there were two more weird guys. He already understood that these two people were by no means idle, because Wang Haoxian and Li Guoyong were not easy to mess with, and now that they had lost so badly, suddenly his confidence in this battle was shaken a little.
"Live or die! Give me arrows! Shoot them! And then the whole army assaulted! ”
Mangyutai had finally made the right choice, but it was too late. Just as hundreds of hard bows beside him were opened at the same time, the two strange Han people suddenly pulled Yue Xiang and the others to the ground and hugged their heads.
Manggutai was stunned for a moment, and then was shocked: "Disperse quickly!" ”
Unfortunately, it was too late to shout, a series of heavy thunder roared behind him, and the whistling cannonballs in the dazzling white smoke hit the cavalry crowd in pieces, and the war horses and human bodies were as fragile as pieces of paper in front of the iron cannonballs, and in an instant, the exploding earth and gravel and broken flesh and blood stumps were lifted half a day high and rained down like raindrops.
Although the cannonballs will not explode, the destructive ability of the solid iron bullets is beyond the ability of the **mortal fetus, and the cannonballs with a puff of white smoke pierced the crowd gathered by the black knights one after another, destroying the flesh and blood channels.
The shouts of the Ming army under the mountain were earth-shattering, and they actually began to take the initiative to attack......
