Chapter 24: The Great Duel (1)

Just when Yue Fei led his troops out of the city, a figure suddenly flashed in the courtyard of Lu Fu, who had been carefully searched by Yue Heng but found nothing.

By the moonlight, it can be seen that this is a man about thirty years old, with a fierce face. He carried a cage covered with a black cloth in his hand. He looked left and right, and then listened to the movement outside the courtyard.

Hearing that there was no one on the street, he ghostly flashed out of the door, and walked quickly against the dark place on the side of the street, he successfully avoided the Guardian Corps who patrolled the street a few times, and then walked to the door of the Huang Family Pharmacy, bent his finger and knocked on the door three times, and after a short pause, he knocked two more times. The door creaked open. The man flashed in ghostly again.

The Huang family did not light the lamp from beginning to end. The yard was filled with the pungent smell of herbs. The pharmacy owner, Huang Daren, and the man talked for a while in the dark room. The two walked out into the yard together. The man opened the cage that he had been holding in his hand and took out a white pigeon.

Huang Daren took out a small silk roll and tied it to the leg of the carrier pigeon. As soon as the man's hand loosened, a pigeon fluttered and flew into the night sky.

Doves fly in the sky much faster than a person can walk on the ground. This pigeon quickly overtook Yue Fei and his party. The hearts of the 1,000 new troops who marched through the stars and the moon were filled with the excitement and trepidation of the first battle, and no one noticed the bird flying overhead. Yue Fei saw it, but he didn't expect it to be a carrier pigeon.

When the carrier pigeon flew outside Mulan Village, it folded its wings and circled while looking for a place to land.

Tens of thousands of Maitreya disciples wrapped in red scarves and with excited faces surrounded Mulan Village. And among the ragged and shabby believers, there was a tall tent that emitted golden light all over it. The carrier pigeon saw the tent and flew directly into it.

There is a lot of space in the tent, enough for a dozen people. At this time, there were only two people sitting in the tent. One is a man in his thirties and forties, tall and well-proportioned, with light blue eyes shining with a faint light, it is Mr. Jin who escaped from Yingtianfu.

At this time, Mr. Jin did not have the arrogance in Ying Tianfu, but listened respectfully to the words of another old man.

Just by looking at his appearance, this old man knew that he was not a mortal. I saw that he was about sixty or seventy years old, with white hair and white beard, but his face was ruddy, like a baby. Wearing a golden robe and holding a goose feather fan, his expression is dashing, and he is simply a fairy.

It's just that the old man's eyes ruined his immortal appearance. It was a pair of eagle-like eyes, sharper than Mr. King's.

At this moment the old man rested with a pigeon in his left hand, and with the other hand he spread out the silk scroll, and watched through the burning candle. After reading it, the old man's face immediately became difficult to look at.

Mr. Jin had been observing the old man's face. Seeing that the old man was a little wrong, he hurriedly asked, "Immortal Chen, but what's wrong in Ying Tianfu?" ”

Chen Shenxian handed the silk scroll to Mr. Jin and let him look at it himself. Only eight words were written on the silk scroll, "I am in vain." The bird has left the nest. ”

Mr. Jin was immediately overjoyed. I was trapped, and it was clear that the thousands of believers sent by Chen Shenxian to Ying Tianfu were all arrested. But Mr. Kim didn't care about that. In his opinion, Maitreya Sect is also an obstacle to his Dajin's rule in the Central Plains, and sooner or later it will be eradicated. But now is not the time to deal with Maitreya. Now he just wants to deal with Yue Fei. And the last four words on the silk roll, the bird has left the nest. That is to say, Yue Fei has been tricked. has already led the troops out of Yingtianfu and went to Mulan Village.

Chen Shenxian sneered twice on the side, and Mr. Jin hurriedly restrained the joy on his face. He arched his hand to Chen Shenxian and said, "It is really unfortunate that thousands of believers of the old immortal have been arrested. Jin was very distressed. But as long as we capture Yue Fei, we can capture Ying Tianfu and rescue them. ”

Just when Mr. Jin expressed hypocritical sympathy, Chen Shenxian opened his left hand, and the pigeon spread its wings and wanted to fly, but it just couldn't fly, and its two paws struggled one by one, as if it was stuck in a quagmire.

Mr. Kim's eyes widened. Of course, he knew that the pigeon was not stuck in the quagmire, but that the old man's control over the muscles of his palm had reached the point of divine understanding. Every time the pigeon is about to fly, his muscles shrink downward, just to eliminate the force of the pigeon's kick. So that the pigeon will never be able to fly.

Mr. Jin secretly thought that he had known that this old thing's martial arts were very strange, but he didn't expect that after a few years, instead of showing age, he had gone further.

Chen Shenxian saw that he showed this hand, which seemed to shock Mr. Jin, and his face couldn't help but show a look of pride. Stretching out his hand to release the pigeon out of the tent, he turned back to Mr. Jin and said, "It seems that this should be a lot of heroes from Tianfu." The thousand people I sent to Ying Tianfu can also be regarded as elite believers. I didn't expect to be easily connected to the nest by others. Let's besiege Mulan Village today, first two thousand infantry troops came, and they rushed to kill, and they actually killed Mulan Village. As a result, the garrison of Mulan Village was greatly enhanced. Later, another 500 cavalry troops came, and we let go of the encirclement and let them enter Mulan Village, but instead they only rushed to kill on the periphery and did not go into the village at all. The former is well versed in the method of foot combat, and the latter looks like a reckless man, but he is well versed in the method of cavalry combat. The old man only learned today that there are so many heroes in the Central Plains. ”

Mr. Jin said disapprerovingly, "Immortal Chen, as long as we hold Yue Fei, these people don't have to be afraid at all. They were just Yue Fei's subordinates. If there is no Yue Fei to lead, they are just some brave and reckless men. ”

When Ji Qian rushed into battle this evening, the Maitreya followers were completely vulnerable under Ji Qian's iron mace. Chen Shenxian personally took action, but he couldn't leave Ji Qian, but just broke Ji Qian's left arm. But Ji Qian still led hundreds of cavalry troops to kill them in pain.

Chen Shenxian admired Ji Qian's fierceness very much, and felt that he was not inferior to Fang Qi'er a few years ago. But listening to Mr. Jin's tone, he was not afraid of Ji Qian and the others, but he never forgot Yue Fei. Chen Shenxian began to be interested in Yue Fei.

He wanted to see what kind of person made Mr. Jin, who had always regarded the heroes of the Central Plains as nothing, so scruples.

Chen Shenxian said, "As long as I use a killer move, I can break Mulan Village in one go." But Mr. Kim, don't forget our agreement. If you forget, don't blame the old man for taking your head. ”

Mr. Jin said simply, "As long as Immortal Chen can help me get rid of that Yue Fei, this Ying Tianfu is the Maitreya Sect." I, Dajin, absolutely support Chen Shenxian to ascend to the position of sect leader. ”

Chen Shenxian stretched out three fingers and shook them in front of Mr. Jin's eyes, "Don't tell me these nonsense. The old man only needs war horses, five thousand war horses, and not one less. After this battle, you will stay with the old man, when the war horse will arrive, and when you will be able to leave. ”

Mr. Kim laughed, and laughed with great pride. "Does Immortal Chen think that my Dajin is Da Song? Five thousand war horses are not worth mentioning. As long as the five hundred cavalry you lent me are really useful, I will give you ten thousand war horses. But tomorrow, when I encircle Yue Fei, I must personally lead the team. I have to see Yue Fei die with my own eyes. ”

Chen Shenxian's face showed a thoughtful expression. "Does Yue Fei really make you so jealous? With my 500 Maitreya cavalry to make a move, do you think Yue Fei still has a chance to escape? ”

Mr. Kim said without giving an inch, "I have to lead the team myself tomorrow." Otherwise, we will collapse this business. ”

Chen Shenxian's eyes were cold, and his body revealed a heavy murderous aura. But Mr. Kim was unmoved. In the end, Chen Shenxian agreed to Mr. Jin's request.

Yue Fei led a thousand new troops to walk under the moon for two hours, and walked to Zhaozhuang at midnight. Zhaozhuang is only a dozen miles away from Mulan Village. At this time, many soldiers showed fatigue on their faces. Yue Fei then ordered to camp and rest not far from Zhaozhuang. I wanted to rest in Zhaozhuang, but Zhaozhuang was in ruins, and the people who died during the day now emitted a stench.

After arranging for the soldiers to rest, Yue Fei walked around the ruins of Zhaozhuang with a heavy face. The bodies must be buried as soon as possible. But we can't wait until the siege of Mulan Village is relieved before we can draw out manpower. Yue Fei knew that tragedies like Zhaozhuang were constantly unfolding in the prosperous Central Plains, and villages full of fireworks were turning into ghost domains in the world.

Thinking of this, Yue Fei felt a little bitter in his heart. These villagers might have been better off if they had died at the hands of the Jin. But they were slaughtered by the same Song people. Through the tragic scene of Zhao Zhuang, Yue Fei seemed to see the future of the Central Plains. Tens of millions of Song people killed each other, but in the end, hundreds of thousands of Jurchen barbarians were cheaper.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Yue Fei woke up the sleeping soldiers. Seeing that many soldiers had bitter faces, and seemed reluctant to set off so early, Yue Fei pointed to the ruins of Zhaozhuang that were still smoking, and the corpses of villagers who were frozen in the morning light that had already emitted a stench, and boosted their morale.

These soldiers were tired last night, and they didn't have time to see the tragic situation of Zhao Zhuang clearly. At this moment, when I saw this scene of hell on earth through the morning light, I suddenly became enthusiastic, and shouted that I wanted to fight with the Maitreya disciples to the death.

Marching in the early morning, it was still Yue Fei leading the army, Zhao Wandian behind, and Wang Guiqin led more than a dozen Xiangzhou veterans as scouts, and spread far away.

When he walked only a few miles away from Mulan Village, Wang Gui suddenly slapped his horse and ran back, shouting with an anxious face as he ran, "Brother Yue, quickly set up a formation." Hurry up. Hundreds of cavalry were coming at us. ”

Yue Fei hurriedly dismounted, leaned on the ground and listened, and there was indeed a sudden sound of horses' hooves a few miles away.

Yue Fei's face changed, and he immediately understood that he had been ambushed. Not sooner or later, it just so happened that his infantry army met this cavalry army when he walked to a place where he could not find a store in front of the village, and it seemed that the other party was already ready. If he was close to the village, Yue Fei could completely lead the new army into the village and use the terrain to resist the onslaught of the cavalry. Looking up now, I can't even see a small grove, and the terrain is flat, just enough to give full play to the power of the cavalry. This horse army is clearly here to ambush itself.

At this time, I can't think about anything else. Yue Fei immediately ordered the new army to stop moving forward and set up a hollow circular formation on the flat ground. Layers of pikemen. Yue Fei and Wang Gui each led dozens of cavalry to protect the two wings.

As the sound of horses' hoofs became more and more urgent, after only a quarter of an hour, five or six hundred cavalry troops were slaughtered in a whirlwind. The 100 cavalry led by him are all equipped with horse armor and strict armor, all of which are authentic Jurchen cavalry.

These cavalrymen were all mature women, and they had been lurking in the Ying Heaven and Earth Realm a few years ago as medicinal herb merchants and horse sellers. This time, Mr. Kim summoned them all, which can be said to be an all-or-nothing gamble. If Mr. Jin loses this time, the Jurchen fine works that are lurking in Yingtian will basically be planted here. Of course, Mr. Kim thinks he can't be defeated. Because he not only had this hundred fierce cavalry, but also the five hundred Maitreya cavalry borrowed from Chen Shenxian.

Although these 500 Maitreya cavalry were not neatly armed, they were all veteran disciples who followed Fang La's army, and after several years of fugitive life, everyone practiced a good martial arts.

With 600 cavalry against Shang Yue Fei's 1,000 infantry army, it can be said that there is no defeat. Don't say that this thousand-foot army is only an army that has just been established for a few days, even if it is an elite soldier in a hundred battles, on this plain where there is no danger to fear, in the face of a six-hundred-hundred-cavalry army, it can only be captured.

Facing the circular formation formed by Yue Fei, Mr. Jin turned a blind eye and directly shouted the slogan of rushing and killing, taking the lead, and a hundred Jurchen heavy horsemen followed closely behind, rushing directly to the center of the circle array, preparing to break through the circle array in one fell swoop.

The reason why Mr. Jin didn't talk to Yue Fei and didn't persuade him to surrender was because he was too jealous of Yue Fei. To be able to arrange a group of recruits in such a tight circle in just a quarter of an hour, this person must not be left behind. If you don't kill him, it will become a great calamity for the Jurchens.

The five hundred Maitreya cavalry that followed closely with the Jurchen heavy cavalry divided into two routes, rushing all the way to Yue Fei and all the way to Wang Gui. All the Maitreya cavalry had red eyes, as if they had rushed out of hell as a murderer. While shouting the slogan "Maitreya is born, the true Buddha is born", he waved the weapon in his hand. In the eyes of these Maitreya cavalry, Yue Fei's cavalry of less than 100 people could not stop their wave of impact at all.
