Chapter Forty-Six: The Great Army
Ah Yi has followed the national teacher for most of his life, and has seen many big scenes, but he has never gone out with the army, and he didn't feel anything at first, but when he ran down for dozens of miles, he felt completely up. The rumbling hooves of horses, the orders of generals, the sonorous horns, and the hunting of flags, all kinds of sounds are mixed together, making people more and more excited, their hearts beating faster and faster, and their blood getting hotter and hotter...... Layers of reports came back from the front, the town was indeed 'dead clean', the corpses had long been rotten and stinky, some died at home, some died in the long street, but people and animals perished, and there was no trace of any financial touch, which was exactly the appearance of the sudden outbreak of the waterlogging epidemic, and the situation was very optimistic. Soon after, Ah Yi, his master and the same door, entered the town under the escort of a large group of cavalry.
Without the instructions of the national teacher, the disciples dismounted, ready to go to check the corpse, but at the moment when Ah Yi's feet just landed, a series of breaking sounds sounded, and a huge stone hammer flew up from nowhere, breaking the rain curtain and smashing towards them.
The stone hammer was amazing, but it was nothing in the eyes of the great grandmaster, and Ah Yi felt even more funny: there was really an ambush? Do you really dare to launch it?
But in the next moment, his smile suddenly froze...... It's still a stone hammer, but it's not a piece, but a piece, an overwhelming piece!
A thousand? Two thousand? Or three thousand? No one can count them.
After the stone hammer was smashed with a stone hammer that was as dense as a rainstorm but ten thousand times more violent than the torrential rain, a piercing scream, a hoarse roar, a hideous roar, and all kinds of howls converged into a tide, rising from all directions. Who could believe that there was actually an army in ambush around the town.
Army.
…… Song Yang did not have an army in his hands, Ren Churong had no power and would never transfer a military horse to him, and the help of the county lord was only to confuse, layout, and fake news, and did not involve 'force'.
However, there was a barbarian army hidden in the mountains that would not easily set foot in the territory of the Han people, and after hearing the news that three years ago they had desecrated the remains of the venerable corpse and killed the leader and more than 100 great enemies of the same clan, they would come to Yanziping, very, very happy.
Mountain Creek Man.
The news was transmitted by Song Yang to the mountain stream man's nest through Mu En, and the nine tribes of the mountain stream were all moved when they heard the news, and it was probably the largest gathering in more than a hundred years...... Three days of summoning, seven days of assembly, and finally 4,000 fierce savages gathered in the town! Except for the three hundred mountains and streams, the other teams were not Song Yang's subordinates, and they did not come for Song Yang. But it doesn't matter, as long as everyone has the same enemy.
From the time Song Yang guessed that the national teacher was in Nanli, he put the main force of Shanximan into his calculations. The army of barbarians is his real reliance on dealing with the national teacher.
The national teacher thinks that he is an elephant, so he can be unscrupulous? Song Yang laid a trap to kill the dragon!
The encirclement was personally arranged by Qin Cong, and there was no need for too clever military techniques, as long as there were enough people and fierce enough...... Just as Shanxixiu was hidden in Gaomu and Song Yang, the nine barbarians had their own ability to hide and hide, and the scouts who rushed to the town first failed to detect their ambush. And the national teacher, Ah Yi and Ah Er, these masters entered the town with the cavalry brigade, and the mighty momentum of the cavalry marched completely obscured their five hearings.
…… Decades ago, the soldiers and horses of Nanli had dealt with the mountain and stream barbarians, and under the condition of equal terrain, the elite soldiers of Nanli faced the barbarians, and if the number was equal, they would undoubtedly be defeated; twice as much as a brute or able to fight a tie and retreat; If you want to win, you have to be three times as strong as the enemy.
This is a truth that all veterans understand. And this principle can only be used in the daytime, barbarians grow in the mountains, and their night vision skills are far better than ordinary Han people...... But what if it was the other way around, the barbarian three times his own, in the dark sky, surrounded by presets, and sneak attacked?
The cavalry under General Lou is all fast cavalry, good at sprinting and fine raids, but they are not equipped with spears and heavy shields, and the armor on their bodies is also light armor, how can they block the heavy stone hammer.
The attack was too abrupt and too ferocious, and after a round of stone hammer sweeping, General Lou's soldiers and horses were damaged by more than thirty percent. General Lou was shocked but did not mess with the loud order in his mouth, ordering his subordinates not to pay attention to the barbarians who were about to besiege, and concentrate on reorganizing the formation and preparing to sprint, although the casualties were heavy, but the main force was barely there, as long as they could gallop up again, they might not be able to break through the encirclement by charging and escort the master out of danger.
But before the military order was finished, General Lou suddenly lost his voice. The people around him could still see his mouth moving, but they couldn't hear what he was saying anyway...... In everyone's ears, there was only the sound of breaking the air and whistling, and it was a stone hammer in the sky, smashing again! The second 'rainstorm'.
The great leader summoned the whole clan, and all the barbarians who went out of the mountains knew what they were going to do this time, so according to the battle practice, each of them brought three stone hammers.
The second round of bombardment completely destroyed the combat power of the Nanli cavalry...... Not only the cavalry, but even General Lou himself was stoned to death on the spot by the inevitable 'stone hammer rain'. Then the last stone hammer was savagely picked up, swarming out from all directions, and the peaceful town turned into a human purgatory in a blink of an eye, with no way out, no escape, only endless fighting!
The national teacher knows the world, but after all, he is the national teacher of the Yan Kingdom, even if he can understand the military and politics of Nanli by relying on the dark stakes and eyeliner, how can he expect the movements of the savages, who said that the gods have no eyes and do not see the world? The national teacher has calculated the corpse of the barbarian, and today is the time for retribution and reckoning.
More than half of the Nanli cavalry were killed and wounded, and the formation was completely scattered, they didn't know that they only had more than an hour left, and they were still desperately trying to survive, fighting in groups of three or five. Seeing that they could no longer count on it, the national teacher gave a deep order: "Scatter and rush, and if you can live, you can go back to Yan Country by yourself!" The voice fell, and he unfastened his robe with both hands, flipped it over and put it back on his body... Black lining, and then a black mask for himself, in the blink of an eye, from striking and easy to recognizable to melting into the night.
Those who can walk with the national teacher, without exception, are loyal disciples, hearing the order silently, they immediately dispersed into the melee and broke through, Ah Yi and Ah Er glanced at each other, and were about to grit their teeth to enter the battle, but the figure in front of them flickered, and the national teacher stretched out his hand to stop the two of them, and said in a low voice: "You come with me!" ”
Maybe he was reluctant to give up the two most beloved disciples, or maybe he felt that only the heirs of these two great masters could help him, so that he would not be tired and flee by himself, the national teacher took two disciples to mix into the chaotic battle and fled east and west, during which the national teacher did not forget to tell Ah Er: "The box behind you cannot be launched without my order!" ”
The battlefield is all over the town, relying on this only 'one-shot' machine, it is useless at all, but the moon blade is scattered and blurred, which will attract the attention of more enemies, unless it is a matter of life and death, it really can't be used.
…… For the fugitives, the surviving Nanli cavalry had one last use - to create chaos.
The town was completely in a frenzy, and there was a cover of night, the three great masters stalked cautiously, and when they could escape, they would never get up, but when they could not avoid it, they would burst out with a fierce blow, completely scattering the obstacles in front of them into a puddle of blood and flesh, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared again. But even if the cultivation has reached the pinnacle of the world, it is by no means easy to get out of the chaotic battle of thousands of barbarians.
Yanziping, which is only three miles in radius, is a seven or eight-year-old doll, and it doesn't take half a pillar of incense to run and jump through the town. And the three national teachers and apprentices who were sneaking, detouring, and fighting hard arrived at the edge of the town from the center of the town, and it took half an hour... The town is close to the direction of the mountains.
It is not that the national teacher wants to do the opposite, but the most simple and practical choice: where there are fewer people and where it is relatively quiet, flee wherever it is.
Ah Yi's shoulder blade bone is broken, Ah Er's right eye is blurred with blood, I don't know if the eyeball can be saved, the national teacher is quite calm, but if you look closely, you can find that his left thumb has been completely 'back' to the back of his hand, if it is not a fracture, no one can pull out such a 'gesture'.
Even they were, let alone the other disciples. They were defeated, but at least their lives were still there. The national teacher's gaze has not changed much, it doesn't matter if he wins or loses, as long as he lives, he still has a chance. The national teacher and his two disciples hid behind an empty sheepfold, carefully observing the surrounding situation, which was no longer the center of the melee, and the barbarians had become sparse and not to be worried.
Seeing that he had escaped, Ah Yi and Ah Er couldn't help it, and looked at the master with blank eyes, hoping to launch a momentum as soon as possible, escape from the town and enter the mountains, even if they entered the territory of the barbarians, it didn't matter, the mountains stretched for thousands of miles, with the skills of the three masters and apprentices, the barbarians would never want to find them again if they were ten times more.
The national teacher had no intention of 'leaving', his eyes fell on a dilapidated carriage on the side of the road, and he was carefully looking at it.
There was only a broken carriage, and the cattle had long since disappeared. It doesn't seem too unusual, any town will have this kind of idle, abandoned caravan, but it is placed diagonally on the side of the road, and if you want to get out of town, you have to pass through it.
At the last moment, the national teacher will not have the slightest carelessness, abandon distracting thoughts and quietly adjust the five listens...... Before long he heard that there were two people hiding in the carriage. One breathes heavily, it should be a wrestler; The other was long, slow, almost inaudible, not far from a grandmaster.
Sure enough, there was still an ambush. A smile appeared on the face of the national teacher hidden behind the mask. If you pass by rashly without checking in advance, the other party suddenly makes a sneak attack, even if you can't hurt anyone, the three of you will definitely be delayed for a while... Then you really can't go anymore.
The national teacher made a few brief gestures, and finally pointed to the big car. Ah Yi and Ah Er nodded silently. After taking a long breath, the three of them jumped up, condensed ten percent of their cultivation, and at the same time pounced on the broken carport not far away.
As fast as an eagle falcon, scorching over thunder, three top masters from Dayan struck together! There is no fluke at this time, even the car and people will be smashed by their strong real power, and after this blow, the three of them can take off again with the power of counter-frustration, and go straight to the outside of the town, and then they will really be like birds and forests, and they will escape.
But what they never dreamed of was that they encountered a dream.
Just when the three of them pounced on the cart and were about to destroy it, a poignant color suddenly bloomed from the carriage!
