Chapter 452: The Ridge of the Mountains (Part II)
The sound of falling stones behind him was transmitted through the entire mountain road by the howling wind, and none of the three people who ran at the front looked back, they could not stop, let alone turn back, not only would they not save the robes, but would push them to death.
Running along this straight mountain road, Zhang Hanshan did not think about the possibility that Xuan Shaoning said, and he believed that there would definitely be a stronger enemy waiting ahead, and it was better to break through even if it was a mortal place in front of him in such a situation, rather than being buried in this mountain road.
The hour seemed to have lost its certainty in the mountain road, and they themselves did not know how long they had been running, and the mountain road seemed to have no end in its reach. Xuan Shaoning kept thinking about the two people who jumped out of the cage just now, one of them is very familiar with his skills, if it is really him, then this is the third time that the two of them have fought each other, Xuan Shaoning is looking forward to this, he knows that this person has always been in Pingzhou, and he will not give up after the defeat last time, and this battle between them cannot be avoided.
The sweat had already wet the placket, and Zhang Hanshan's eyes suddenly appeared brighter than before, this was a light, a light projected from the outside world, completely different from the faint light in the mountain road, which meant that they were about to reach the end!
The noonday sun finally broke through the clouds and radiated ten thousand golden rays of light from the end of the canyon, so that the oncoming people could not open their eyes and could not see the road ahead, they could only meet the light and estimate that there seemed to be an army ahead, an army that was ready to fight, an army that they had to defeat.
What a great opportunity this is, just stand at the exit of the canyon and shoot an arrow at the canyon, isn't this a live target shooting practice? Xuan Shaoning had already touched the shield on the side of the horse's back and was ready to deal with it, but this familiar scene did not happen in the end, until he could clearly see the enemy in front of him.
It's the end of the army! Unexpectedly, only the last army could ambush the Guangyuan Army in Pingzhou, but the key was how did they know the whereabouts of the Guangyuan Army? Since the battle of Hanguang Temple, their whereabouts have been low-key and secretive, and they don't even dare to rush during the day, try to put it at night, and after entering the border of Pingzhou, they also want to pass as soon as possible for safety reasons.
Xuan Shaoning has no time to worry about this problem for the time being, the battle is about to start in an all-round way, and the leader of the end of the army is Wu Yu, this demon general actually joined the battle in person this time, which made Xuan Shaoning come to strength. Unlike him, Shi Gong Zhengyuan behaved a little abnormally when he saw the enemy's face clearly, and there was a trace of panic, whether it was out of fear of the end of the army or worry about the whole army, he himself knew best.
As soon as the bell and arrow flew into the sky, the end army did not wait for the vanguard of the Guangyuan Army to rush out of the canyon and rushed into the canyon to start hand-to-hand combat. This is another puzzling arrangement, obviously it is safer to stand outside and wait for work, but Wu Yuyu finally chose to sacrifice his subordinates to start the battle, which is to say that the demon general has lost the standard of soldiers, I am afraid that many people will agree.
The enemy with teeth and claws rushed in front of him, what else could a soldier do but fight? Not for himself, but also for the main force of the army behind him, Zhang Hanshan was not afraid, but came to the momentum, and rushed into the enemy formation first, and was stunned to cut the forward of the end of the army that rushed in in front of the formation.
Xuan Shaoning and Shi Gong Zhengyuan immediately followed, and the left and right defenses formed a battle formation with Zhang Hanshan as horns, and the three of them attacked each other in turn, tearing a hole in the last army, and it was a hole that they couldn't close. The triangular array flipped and rushed out of the mouth of the canyon, leaving behind the corpses of the soldiers of the end of the mountain, and it was with their hard work that the Guangyuan army behind them began to gradually break away from the shackles of the mountain road at the cost of not heavy casualties.
Immediately following the triangular array was Yang Zhong, and at this time Xuan Shaoning found out that Jiang Xiaoyu was sitting behind Yang Zhong, and the two of them were safe and sound, which could also put Xuan Shaoning at ease. But this reassurance was only for a moment, and a member of the general of the end army directly bypassed the triangle formation and killed Yang Zhong.
This person slashed several Guangyuan Army soldiers with a horizontal knife formation, rushed to Yang Zhong's side without hindrance, and split the war horse in half with a knife, Yang Zhong and Jiang Xiaoyu jumped down separately, and as soon as they landed, Jiang Xiaoyu protected Yang Zhong behind him and threw out a chain whip towards the enemy, and the whip failed to hit the enemy, but poked the enemy's mount blind in one eye. The wounded war horse jumped on the spot and neighed, and the enemy was merciless, jumping up and slashing his mount with a knife, and when the flesh and blood flew sideways, the blade slashed through Jiang Xiaoyu's face.
Yang Zhong and Jiang Xiaoyu rolled away to the sides, if it weren't for the chain whip protector, Jiang Xiaoyu would have broken his phase even if he didn't die. His heart was beating violently, and he fixed his eyes to see that this person was Linghu Chao, one of the eighteen Tuorong of the Lower Tang Dynasty.
It's him! Xuan Shaoning had fought with Ling Huchao when he was in Duzhou City, and he had not shown up since he was defeated and fled, and he really rejoined Wu Yu's men. Xuan Shaoning turned his head and saw Wu Yu, who had been watching coldly in the Chinese army, and after thinking about it, he shouted to Shi Gong Zhengyuan and Zhang Hanshan: "Capture the thief and capture the king first!"
The triangular array crawled around in the battle formation of the end of the army, and then turned the gun to aim at Wu Yu, and the triangle array turned around towards the middle army of the end of the army, and for a while, no one could stop them, and the triangle formation was about to squeeze through the last line of defense and endanger the commander.
Wu Yuyu raised his hand and took off an arrow without hurry, bent his bow and arrow, and shot out with an arrow, the action was coherent but not urgent, and the technique was skillful and quite powerful. It was this arrow that completely broke up the triangle array, and the object of this arrow was Shi Gong Zhengyuan in the triangle array, and in order to avoid Shi Gong Zhengyuan, he could only jump out of the triangle array first, so the triangle array officially disintegrated and the three of them were scattered. Xuan Shaoning and Zhang Hanshan were together, but they didn't see Shi Gong Zhengyuan, the enemy flooded up, and they had no time to take care of their companions, so Xuan Shaoning completely lost Shi Gong Zhengyuan's figure.
Shi Gong Zhengyuan's figure flashed past Ling Fox Chao, who attacked Jiang Xiaoyu with all his might, seemingly unaware of the enemy's approach. Yang Zhong's injuries have not healed and Jiang Xiaoyu is not much better, the arrow last time almost killed him, this battle is just that the wound has ruptured, and the gauze lining has been stained red with blood, slowly penetrating into the outside of the armor.
Looking at Ling Fox Chao is a completely different appearance, he is bent on shame, it is a little strange that several of the Tuorong in the Tang Dynasty have been defeated by Liang Jun's subordinates, what they want to do is shame, referring to the previous battle, the possibility of Ling Fox Chao's success this time is still relatively large, as for his personal results, it is difficult to predict.
The strength is amazing, the body is agile, within a few moves, Jiang Xiaoyu was forced to retreat a few steps away and there was no power to fight back for the time being, he took advantage of the victory to chase and slammed another knife on the chain whip, Jiang Xiaoyu was no longer able to resist with one hand, and could only rely on his hands to resist the horizontal knife in front of his chest, when the blade touched the previous wound, the pain began to make his face twitch. This is a good thing, Ling Fox Chao must not let go, he withdrew the horizontal knife and kicked Jiang Xiaoyu in the abdomen, and when the other party wanted to stabilize his body, he wanted to get a one-time result Jiang Xiaoyu.
The plan was thorough, but the result was disappointing, the horizontal knife finally stopped at the position where Jiang Xiaoyu was punched away, and this time it was Yang Zhong who came out of the knife to rescue, using just the ordinary machete issued by the lieutenant general of the Guangyuan Army, this time it was carried but there was no next time. The power of this horizontal knife was beyond everyone's expectations, and when it slashed again, Yang Zhong's saber broke into two parts, and the incision was neat and crisp.
The horizontal knife slashed, Ling Fox Chao's cold but bloodthirsty smile flashed briefly, this time it was not the saber that split but Yang Zhong's body, and the sharp attack of the blade cut a long hole in Yang Zhong's abdomen.
This made the fox tide's eyes glared excitedly, and this time he succeeded! Yang Zhong is already his prey whether he is dead or alive, but it is too troublesome to live, it is better to die, and he can directly cut off the head and go back to his Tuorong position. The blade spun in a circle in mid-air and slashed towards Yang Zhong's throat.
At the moment of life and death, Jiang Xiao foolishly went out, and threw a chain of whips to wrap around Ling Huchao's neck, although he was not injured for the time being because of the protection of the armor, but at least it dragged Ling Huchao's footsteps. Jiang Xiaoyu jumped on Ling Fox Chao's back, and the whole person wrapped around him, especially his arms squeezed outside the chain whip. It was precisely because of Jiang Xiaoyu's exertion that Ling Fox Chao immediately began to feel that it was difficult to breathe, and the offensive in his hand was immediately reduced.
Jiang Xiaoyu's move is just a life for life, there are short nails on the outside of the chain whip, which can usually hurt the enemy, but at this time, it also hurt Jiang Xiaoyu himself. Enduring the pain, Jiang Xiaoyu wrung his arms desperately, and was stunned to force the short nail to pierce the armor around Ling Huchao's neck, as long as he used a little harder, he could pierce into the flesh.
It's not easy to say, it's even more difficult to do, how much courage does it take, Jiang Xiaoyu's arms were already bloody, and at the same time, his chest was also bleeding because he was too hard. Ling Hu Chao found a grip, he could only temporarily give up Yang Zhong and free his hand to beat Jiang Xiaoyu's chest, maybe he felt that this trick was not useful enough, Ling Hu Chao directly grabbed Jiang Xiaoyu's wound with his hand and began to press it with his fingernails, so that the two of them did not dare to relax themselves while being tortured by pain, and they were ready to die together.
Xuan Shaoning saw this scene in the chaos of the army, and was about to help, two figures fell from the sky, to be precise, jumped down from the top of the mountain, the filaments behind them reflected a little golden light, and the two joined the battle array, one of them jumped directly in front of Xuan Shaoning to block his shot, and the other person took advantage of the declining speed to whip Jiang Xiaoyu's back, and suddenly the protective armor was directly cracked, and the flesh turned inside could be seen.
"We really have a fate, and we meet again!" Jin Chongwu's evil smile was aimed at Xuan Shaoning's flat face.
