Qin Fei was indeed on the road, but not all the way north. It stands to reason that when Tang Yin arrived at the Huguan camp, Qin Fei would only have half a day to reach Huguan at most. But Qin Fei chose another way, went around in a circle from afar, and made a detour after the Tiger Pass.

"Why go so far?" Zhou Liyuan asked in surprise.

Qin Fei rubbed his thighs that were grinding from the saddle, and said, "If I were Su Jin, would I squat in the Tiger Pass, with more than 10,000 people, waiting for the siege of more than 100,000 troops, and also guard against the assassination of the top masters of the Chu State?" ”

"Then, Huguan is such a fortress, he tried his best to knock it down, is it difficult to give it up?" Zhou Liyuan asked.

"It's not like that, the matter of the war makes Fang Wuliang bother, I just think that Su Jin will never stay in Huguan, unless he is a dumbfounder." Qin Fei looked up and looked ahead: "After a few days of hurrying, we have reached more than a hundred miles north of Huguan, and now we can turn around." ”

……………………

The army of black oppression is like a dark cloud, swallowing the earth. Rushing to the car and driving the road, the officers and soldiers raised their shields and prepared to resist the oncoming rain of arrows, and the sharp blades were pinned to their waists, and they only needed to climb the ladder and draw their knives to fight. Thousands of archers held their ground, and if they came into range, they would overwhelm the city with even more frantic shots. Carefully selected cavalry are ready to move, closely following the infantry, and once the city gate is breached, those steel warriors shrouded in iron armor will be swept into the Tiger Pass like a whirlwind, killing a river of blood.

The famous generals of Chu State against the generals of Northern Xinjiang, the first battle is to follow the rules!

The city was unusually calm, and despite the banners, not a single arrow fell.

Fang Wuliang frowned: "What the hell is Su Jin doing?" The army was already a stone's throw away, and he couldn't have even had a strong crossbow. ”

"There is fraud in the city, do you want to continue the attack?" General Zuo Pan Rong put down the command flag in his hand and asked cautiously.

"Attack."

The rushing car approached the moat unscathed, and the soldiers quickly filled in a few paths through the moat, and the stormtroopers squatted nervously under the city wall with their shields on their heads, and the ladder slammed up the city wall...... There were no arrows, no oil, no rolling stones, no sassholes...... There was nothing, only the towering walls of Huguan, which was as silent as a ghost town.

The horn of the charge blew, Tang Xuan gritted his teeth, pulled out the waist knife, bit it into his mouth, and climbed the ladder with his hands and feet with the first one. Yang Dapeng followed behind him tremblingly, and kept chanting the blessings of the gods and Buddhas in his mouth. Several long dragons climbed down the ladder towards the city, but the quiet city still did not move.

It wasn't until Tang Xuan jumped onto the city that he exclaimed, "Empty city? ”

……………………

"Is it stupid to be a child?" Su Jin watched from afar as the flag at the head of the Huguan City was taken off, and then replaced it with a big banner of the Chu Army, spitted fiercely, and scolded: "Fang Wuliang brought more than 100,000 people to encircle and suppress Lao Tzu, and the soldiers and horses of the four towns did not arrive, Lao Tzu squatted in Huguan, wouldn't he be swallowed by you in one bite?" Dream on! ”

"The town general is clever, the enemy advances and I retreat, and I do not fight for the length of a day. It is really the style of the famous generals of the ancients! The general next to him decisively patted his ass.

A lieutenant said cautiously: "Lord Town, we have worked hard to defeat the Tiger Pass, and King Yan is overjoyed when he knows it, and he immediately sent soldiers and horses from the four towns to help." If you don't even let go of an arrow like this, you will give up the tiger pass. King Yan is there, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it, right? ”

Su Jinman shook his head nonchalantly: "The soldiers and horses of the four towns have arrived, and I can naturally take the Tiger Pass back." When the time comes, I'm afraid that Fang Wuliang will be dumplings by me. ”

"Adults are invincible, how can they be the opponents of adults?" Seeing that Su Jin was full of confidence, the captain delivered a bowl of ecstasy soup.

Su Jin smiled, raised his horsewhip, and walked away.

……………………

There are no roads in the desolate land, and people who come and go from the south to the north leave traces on the earth with wheels, horses' hooves and footprints, which can barely be regarded as roads. The north wind howled, the fallen leaves were bleak, the dead trees stretched their rugged arms in the wilderness, and the old branches shook softly as if they were weeping......

An old man lifted the fur hat on his head, his eyes full of crow's feet looked for directions, and a small piece of fallen leaves was leisurely blown by the wind, fluttering and flying to his side, he reached out and grabbed it, and the fallen leaves turned into dust in the palm of his hand, and fell from his fingers. The old man had a slight smile on his face, as if he was quite satisfied with his hand.

He looked like an ordinary passerby, dressed in a thick cotton robe and carrying a bamboo basket with simple luggage inside. He suddenly stopped, glanced at the dense horse manure and imprints on the ground, and said softly: "There is actually a large army passing by here, it seems that it has not been long after walking......

He looked up to the south again, and muttered to himself, "This is already the north of the Tiger Pass, and the army is ...... Could it be that Xiaojin withdrew from Tiger Pass? ”

In the dry and cold winter, the horse manure has been hard, but it has not yet cracked, and he is experienced, so he can naturally distinguish it. Just as he was about to follow the footprints, his expression was slightly condensed, and he listened with his ears pricked up, and there was a sound of hooves in the distance, and there were not too many people. He straightened his fur hat and bamboo basket, lowered his head and continued to walk forward.

Behind him, the bell rang softly, and a small group of people rode over, and a clear voice shouted: "The old man in front, please stay!" ”

The old man frowned, he had already raised his breath before he turned around, this time he came out, he had something important to do, and he didn't want to make more trouble. But if the group of people behind him is very troublesome, he doesn't mind killing them all! In the chaos of war, what is the death of dozens of people?

But as soon as he turned around, he immediately dispelled this thought. This is an extremely strong team of knights, more than thirty people with more than sixty horses, all of them are vigorous, and many of them are wearing blades, which are obviously not easy to gnaw on bones. The knight who caught up had a slender sword hanging from his waist. Interestingly, this sword is unsheathed!

Most swordsmen place their swords in their scabbards, firstly to prevent accidental injury to themselves or others, and secondly, the scabbard can sometimes be used as a weapon. There is only one kind of person who will never want to use a scabbard, and that is the fast swordsman. He practiced fast swords, so naturally the faster the better, and it was faster than pulling the sword out of the long scabbard and pinning the sword directly to his body. For those who pay attention to speed, fast is everything. Hurry up and decide whether you die or I die!

"Who are you?" The old man looked panicked, almost slumped on the ground in fright, and asked in a trembling voice, "Is it a good man who cuts the path?" ”

The swordsman reined in the horse's head and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, uncle, we are just passers-by, it is a little strange to see you passing by here alone, just ask." ”

"It's good if you're not a thief......" The old man patted his heart, his face was pale, and he was obviously frightened.

The swordsman was a little reluctant, dismounted and helped him up, and asked, "There is chaos here in Huguan, how can you dare to come out alone?" ”

"Isn't it because of the war? Everything at home has been robbed by the rebels, and I am an old man who wants to go to the eastern capital to join relatives. The old man said resentfully.

The swordsman sighed: "It is the common people who suffer from the war. By the way, uncle, don't take the road of Huguan, there is probably a war there. You can't go north, the north is in chaos. If you bring enough dry food, you can walk from Huaxian, which is far away, but it is very safe. ”

"Thank you, little brother." The old man bent over and was about to salute.

"No need." The swordsman jumped on his horse, turned and ran towards the group.

Back in the team, the swordsman said to the man sitting on horseback, "I asked, there should be no problem." Shall we go south or north now? ”

"Zhou Liyuan, you kid is in a hurry, now you must be going south to Huguan, maybe you can meet Su Jin's withdrawn soldiers and horses." That lazy man was Qin Fei, his buttocks aching from riding a horse, and he was changing his posture to adjust his sore waist.

"Admiral Yuan......" Qin Fei turned his face sideways and said to the rebellious Admiral, "What do you see? ”

Yuan Xin thought for a while: "Let's go north." There are traces of the army passing by, I don't know if it is the mark of the soldiers and horses of the four towns going south, or the mark of Su Jin going north. We went north, and at most we couldn't find anyone, but if we went south, we were thrown away by Su Jin if we were not careful. ”

"I guess Su Jin will abandon the city, but he won't go far, he must stay near the Tiger Pass, wait for the soldiers and horses of the four towns to converge, and then fight the Tiger Pass. If he had this idea, the horse manure here was left over from one of the armies of the Four Towns in the past, and I don't think there were too many of them, and it was probably a vanguard force. Qin Fei explained.

Yuan Xin nodded slightly, and suddenly saw Qin Fei's face change lightly, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"There's something wrong with that old man." Qin Fei said in a deep voice: "There are no people in a hundred miles here, if he doesn't have a little bit of cultivation as an old man, just walking through this wasteland is enough to be too tired to get up, how can he walk so steadily?" If he was a cultivator, why did he fall down in fright when Zhou Liyuan asked him what to say? ”

Zhou Liyuan's face turned red, lifted the reins and turned around and rushed forward.

"Uncle, stay." Zhou Liyuan opened his throat and shouted.

The horse's hooves are galloping, and the wind is galloping. In the blink of an eye, he had rushed behind the old man, Zhou Liyuan was about to reach out to grab his shoulder, when suddenly an irresistible huge force surged from his wrist, and then his body was light, and the old man had already shaken him up before he turned around.

Zhou Liyuan was horrified in his heart, this was a moment of life and death, the results of years of penance showed his painstaking efforts, his right hand shook, the long sword was already in his hand, the cold light flashed, the sword was swallowed, and the sharp sword qi was close to the old man's heart. This is a way to grit your teeth and fight to the end!

In terms of speed, there are really not many people who can be faster than Zhou Liyuan.

The old man sighed lightly, he didn't expect that he had not joined the WTO for many years, and the young people now are much more powerful than they were back then...... The thought flashed in his heart, and when he couldn't do it, he lightly avoided Zhou Liyuan's sword, and slapped Zhou Liyuan away casually, and a stream of blood spurted out of Zhou Liyuan's mouth, sprinkling a red in the air.

Qin Fei's face turned cold, his long legs turned over the horse's head, and he rode the horse to chase after him.

The old man landed steadily on Zhou Liyuan's horse, slapped his hand back, and the fierce horse galloped out, doing his best!
