At the end of August, the East China Sea was still swept by a heat wave, which swept people into a trance.

Two months have passed since the drill in the southern suburbs of Wanling City. Xu Ruyu stroked the long mane of the palm horse, and looked at the field that spread out in front of him and hit the sky, the heat wave on the oily rice was soaring, and it was covered with a layer of mist, and he still couldn't see Qichuan City. Twisting his head and asking Zhang Zhongdao, "How far is it from Qichuan City now?" ”

"We've just passed Jiwu Fort, and we're still forty miles away."

Xu Ruyu said "oh", didn't speak, turned over and jumped off the horse, and then remembered something and said to Zhang Zhongdao: "Zhongdao, let everyone rest." ”

After speaking, he ignored everyone, and looked worriedly at the distance where Mo Zhi was.

Zhang Zhongdao handed over the kettle and asked, "General Xu, the Qingzhou Army is not necessarily weaker than Baishi's combat strength, why are you so careful now?" Since the fiasco of the exercise, Zhang Zhongdao has been serving as the first sentinel under Xu Ruyu, although he is still not very close to him, but he also admires his ability to lead the troops. But to the rest of the people, it is still rude.

Xu Ruyu poured a lot of gas, brushed away the water droplets that overflowed on his chin, and said: "The selection of generals in the army is the first priority. Yi Chongwu was not good at attacking and plundering people, and it can be seen that he still used light armored cavalry for frontal charges, but Yi Zhouwu still asked him to lead his troops to attack Wanling in order to accumulate military achievements and consolidate his position as the prince, which was actually a fortunate thing for Wanling. If Yi Hanwen is made handsome, Wanling's situation will be much more difficult. ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, looked back at the people who stopped behind him to rest, and then said: "Xu Bodang was good at using strange strategies, and he set up a plan to open an urn back then, and he was trapped in Qingzhou and rode between the four cities. Now, he has set up such a conspiracy in the East China Sea. In order to make the situation develop as he expected, this time it will be a broken head, and he will also try to take Qi Chuan. In that way, the Wanling armies will be nailed to the area of Zehu and Huaishui, and they will no longer be able to intervene in the situation of Yongyang and Tairu. After he calmly settled the situation of Yongyang and Tairu, Wanling was also unable to support it alone. ”

Xu Ruyu silently remembered the emergency military situation of Sanyu that came one after another recently, and the sorrow in his heart could not be explained.

In mid-July, the Yongyang army conquered Anping City, approached Tairu from southeast to northwest, and blocked the sea passage on the east side of Tairu.

Subsequently, under the command of Xu Bodang, the Baishi army continuously bombarded the southeast corner of the city wall with 20 stone artillery crossbows, and the city wall collapsed after three days, and 40,000 horses and horses of Baishi poured into the city and burned them all. Among the people of the Biling family, only more than 300 people from the Wei family took advantage of the chaos to highlight the Biling.

On July 26, the Baishi Army covered the attack on Yiyang City. Yiyang's guard Xiao Chao surrendered to Guiyanmen, Xu Bodang did not accept it, and slaughtered 4,000 Tairu troops. On August 2, the Baishi army wedged between Tairu and Wanling, occupied the 12 forts in the southeast of Qichuan City, and sealed the land passage between Tairu and Wanling. At this point, there is no news from Tairu.

Xu Ruyu said secretly: Xu Bodang did not accept the surrender of the Yiyang guards, and wedged into the area south of Qichuan like a thunderbolt, which was nothing more than to force all the families north of Tairu City into Tairu City and increase the difficulty of the Yongyang army to capture Tairu. Mei Tiecao should now clear the outer defenses of Tairu City and completely surround Tairu City. When the Mei and Xi families are both defeated, the crisis in the East China Sea will really come.

If Xu Bodang wants to show his hands and feet in the southern part of the East China Sea, he must first detain 60,000 elite soldiers from Wanling in the area of Zehu. Therefore, he needed a fortified city to garrison Wanling with heavy troops. Biling is too close to the west side, 300 miles away from Tairuo, the small wall of Yiyang City is low, and there is no ditch and sanitation.

The people of Wanling judged that the Baishi Army might attack Qichuan. Although after the Baishi Army conquered Piling, Wanling had strengthened the defense of Qichuan City, and the strength had increased to 12,000 (including 2,000 cavalry of the Chenlong Battalion), everyone was still very worried, so they asked Xu Ruyu to lead the cavalry of 5 sentinels and 600 cavalry under his command to reinforcements last night.

Xu Ruyu waved his hand in front of him, as if he wanted to wave his worries away. Seeing that the soldiers on his side looked over with some concern, he thought: It's still not good, I'm so depressed, and my morale is greatly low.

Xu Ruyu was not used to saying something to boost morale, so he didn't say anything, and led everyone to ride towards Qichuan. Twenty miles away from Qichuan, the rangers rushed back and reported: "The Baishi Army has besieged Qichuan City from the southeast and southeast, and when I return, the Baishi Army is ten miles away from Qichuan City. ”

Xu Ruyu couldn't help but gasp, seeing that the ranger's sweat soaked through the light armor, his broad face was purple, panting, he untied the water bag and handed it over, and said, "You go to the back to rest first." Then he said to a sentry behind him: "You quickly lead fifty people to sneak behind enemy lines, and find out the situation for me thirty miles around Qichuan City." The rest of the people dismounted to rest and prepared to bury the pot to cook. ”

Zhang Zhongdao was puzzled: "Why don't you take advantage of the gap to enter Qichuan, there should still be a gap on the north side of Qichuan City now." ”

Xu Ruyu didn't mind his questioning, and raised his voice slightly, so that the generals around him could hear it: "If you want to enter Qichuan City, you can enter at any time, no matter how strong Xu Bodang is, I'm afraid he won't be able to use his elite cavalry to block Zehu." "The northwest city wall of Qichuan City is only six or seven hundred steps away from the water of Zehu Lake, and in such a narrow area, Xu Bodang is also unable to block it with heavy troops, so as not to be attacked from both sides of the city and the lake. Everyone's nervous expressions relaxed slightly, and Xu Ruyu continued: "Xu Bodang shouldn't have imagined that we were so close to him, and we would enter Qichuan City without a greeting gift, Zeng Yixing would say that we have no courtesy." ”

Everyone laughed at his relaxed tone, and they were no longer nervous. In the past two months, under his rule, he has practiced and practiced many times, and has repeatedly defeated his opponents, although he has not yet experienced actual combat, but he has developed a kind of trust in him.

Zhang Zhongdao saw that he could easily eliminate everyone's nervousness, and he was also very impressed, pulled him aside, and still asked with some concern: "What if Uncle Xu attacks the city immediately?" Even if we disturb his rear, we can't change the overall situation. ”

"Why did he attack the city, is it still like attacking the tomb?"

"Are you saying that there is no stone field around Qichuan, and Xu Bodang needs to transport stone bullets from Biling to attack the city with stone cannons and crossbows."

Xu Ruyu said secretly: Zhang Zhongdao's mind is not as rough as his appearance appears, after the fiasco of the exercise, he learned from the pain, attached importance to the strategy of raising troops, and his knowledge is much higher than that of ordinary people. But he said quietly: "If you want to break the city wall of Qichuan, you need more than dozens of huge stones, and it takes a lot of effort to transport the boulder bullets from Biling here." Now Xu Bodang's twenty stone artillery crossbows should remain in his baggage camp. ”

Zhang Zhong said happily: "If Xu Bodang didn't have these twenty-stone cannon crossbows, he could only look at Qi Chuan and sigh." ”

Xu Ruyu thought to himself: If Xu Bo only has this little trick, it is not enough to stir up the East China Sea so bloody, and he doesn't want to destroy his good mood, so he won't say anything.

The heat did not go away, the fire clouds burned the sky, and the fifty sergeants who inquired about the military situation returned one after another.

Xu Ruyu and the others were neatly draped, the horse's mouth was tied to the piece, the horse's hooves stepped on the soft mud ground, and they were not afraid to make a sound, and the group hid themselves in the deepening twilight.

The first quarter of the half-moon hangs a tree high, the moonlight is like water, and the paddy fields are reflected in the sparkling light, as if hidden countless moons.

Xu Ruyu stood on a gentle slope, watching the undulating military tent under the moon unfold endlessly in front of him, and his heart was stunned. Thinking that this was the first time he had led the troops in actual combat, his palms couldn't help but sweat slightly. In my mind, I silently counted the number of the outermost baggage camp and the inner camp.

Xu Ruyu stabbed Zhang Zhongdao and whispered: "You first lead the four sentry cavalry to rush to the gate of the baggage camp, and then escape in the direction of Xinfeng, and after you lead away the surrounding enemies, I will lead the remaining sentry men and horses to rush in and set fire." ”

"You're not too dangerous, you might as well let me set it on fire."

Xu Ruyu thought to himself: I thought through it so quickly, I really can't underestimate him in the future. Although Zhang Zhongdao led away the surrounding guards, after the accident in the baggage camp, more enemy troops would be alarmed, and Xu Ruyu would fall into the enemy formation.

Xu Ruyu's voice was solemn and said, "You are now my subordinate captain." ”

Zhang Zhongdao said: "Why don't you rush in together and set fire to it?" ”

"If the surrounding enemy troops don't leave, they will be trapped for a while, and they won't have time to burn many tents, and if they can't burn stone artillery crossbows, they will lose a lot. You weave through the enemy camp, and put a few more fires on me from the baggage camp. Don't have a stay, remember that five hundred people are handed over to you, and don't come to me alone. ”

Zhang Zhongdao thought for a moment, didn't say anything, and led the five hundred elite horsemen to sneak to the other side, making sure that Xu Ruyu's side would not be discovered, so they lit torches together and rushed towards the Baishi military camp.

Five hundred elite cavalry rushed to the barracks in an instant, and a halberd opened the extremely simple camp gate, and dozens of panicked Baishi sergeants just formed a team to intercept them, and they were swept past by the torrent and the five hundred elite cavalry were impacted into dozens of blurred flesh and blood.

Xu Ruyu saw the situation down the slope and thought with emotion: The conquest is such a brutal devouring of life.

Seeing Zhang Zhongdao's giant halberd all the way to the camp tent, without making any other stops, five hundred elite horsemen followed closely around the baggage camp, trampling the collapsed camp like a hurricane, and stabbing straight into the middle camp of the Baishi army. The sergeant who had just woken up from his homecoming dream struggled to climb out of the collapsed tent, often facing a cold light, only to hear the sound of the wind spurting out of his body, and then plunged into the white moonlight.

Five hundred elite horsemen threw out the torches in their hands one after another, and the middle camp of the Baishi Army suddenly turned into a sea of fire for thousands of steps. Zhang Zhongdao roared wildly and led five hundred elite horsemen to rush towards the western camp.

Although the front camp is facing the south gate of Qichuan City, it is precisely like this, the south camp should be in a state of admonition that the soldiers are not disarmed, and the weapons are carried with them, and the five hundred elite horsemen rush into it, and they will definitely not be pleased. Now seeing Zhang Zhongdao leading the team to the west to make up for the shortcomings in his strategy, Xu Ruyu can't help but admire: Zhang Zhongdao has learned from the pain, and his mind has become meticulous, and he is also the brave champion of the three armies, which is really a rare general in Wanling.

At this time, the chaos in the rear camp gradually subsided, and two or three thousand people were organized to surround Zhang Zhongdao, and the rest of the people poured into the middle camp to extinguish the fire and save people. There was also movement in the front battalion, and several groups of cavalry were divided from the outside to outflank the western battalion.

Xiying was a mess, and dozens of fires broke out.

Xu Ru foolishly saw that the two or three thousand people who were forced from the rear camp were all foot soldiers, and he was not in a hurry to rush into the chaos to pursue the five hundred elite cavalry led by Zhang Zhongdao, but he slowly thought about the chaotic camp, and where he passed, the chaos immediately subsided, and gradually organized more people to force Zhang Zhongdao. Several teams of elite horsemen from the former camp were not in a hurry to rush into the west camp, but stood close to the side of the camp gate, allowing the panicked West camp sergeants to escape from the camp gate, and reorganized them in the open space outside the camp gate. The camp in Xiying gradually vacated, and Zhang Zhongdao and other 500 elite horsemen were already surrounded in the camp. Xu Ruyu secretly shouted that things would not be good, and he didn't care about waiting for a better time, so he lit a torch and led more than 100 horsemen to rush in.

He rushed into the baggage camp on the outside of the rear camp, set fire to all the tents, and rushed straight to the west camp with torches.

The thousands of foot soldiers who had just been organized in the west camp saw that someone in the back camp rushed in again, and it was on fire all the way, and they didn't know how many people and horses there were, and they fell into panic again. The commander hurriedly divided a part of his men to form a formation in the open space between the rear camp and the west camp to block the attack.

Xu Ruyu pulled over a camp tent, borrowed the momentum of the horse, pulled it up from the ground at once, threw the torch on it, the sky was dry, and suddenly it was blazing, burning into a high-pitched fireball, Xu Ruyu dragged it and rushed into the Baishi army formation. Later, more than 100 horsemen also concocted in the same way, and suddenly more than 100 flames rushed into the White Stone Tepee.

Although the Baishi Army has experienced a hundred battles, it has never seen this kind of formation, and it does not attack and collapse, and it is a mess, like birds and beasts scattered, scattered and fled. Xu Ruyu did not stop, and continued to drag the fire tent towards the west camp, and the fire tent that gradually extinguished, as soon as the west camp was intact, a bigger fire rose, and in a moment, the entire west camp fell into a sea of fire.

Although the thousands of foot soldiers in the western camp were already in formation, but in the midst of the sea of fire, how could they keep the formation intact, Zhang Zhongdao took the opportunity to rush over, and the five hundred elite cavalry arbitrarily slaughtered the Baishi sergeant who was completely in chaos.

The remnants of the White Rock West Camp scrambled to flee to the periphery. Through the light of the fire, Zhang Zhongdao saw several groups of cavalry in the rear camp slowly passing through the fire to this side, and saw the sergeants who were originally fighting the fire in the middle camp retreating to the east camp in an orderly manner.

The firelight reflected Zhang Zhongdao's broad face, and at some point, most of his unkempt mustache was burned off, and he said loudly: "As long as you give Lao Tzu 3,000 fine horses, I will call Xu Bodang I don't know how to write the word 'north'." ”

After speaking, he pointed at Xu Ruyu and laughed, ignoring the fact that he was in danger of being surrounded by the enemy army at this time, he changed his tone of tone towards him, and said to him easily: "Now I see that you are pleasing to the eye." ”

Xu Ruyu knew that he was referring to the long hair that was unintentionally swept away by the tongue of fire, and his face showed a bitter expression, so he didn't think he was angry, and asked rhetorically: "Were you jealous that I was more handsome than you before?" ”

Zhang Zhongdao laughed again, and didn't answer him, and said: "In such a dangerous situation, a true hero can talk and laugh like this, Zhang Zhongdao I will make you a friend today." ”

"Why not brothers?"

Zhang Zhongdao said: "Haha, I was wrong, I was wrong. A long howl couldn't stop coming out, and the horses near and far heard the whistling and neighed again and again, and the gap between the two of them for a long time was now gone.

Zhang Zhongdao stopped, looked at Xu Ruyu, and said: "I killed no less than fifty people tonight, and it is enough to die here." ”

Xu Ruyu said: "I just set the fire. ”

"Don't worry, I'll accompany you to kill again."

Xu Ruyu stretched out his hand to stop the head of the horse that he was about to rush out, and asked him, "How is Zeng Yixing?" ”

Zhang Zhongdao asked rhetorically: "What?" Instantly understood, knowing that Xu Ruyu asked him if he would take the opportunity to send troops when he saw the chaos in the Baishi military camp, and said, "It's the smart person I hate." ”

Xu Ruyu asked: "When I first came to Wanling, you couldn't get used to me so much, didn't you be implicated by him?" ”

Zhang Zhongdao laughed again, led the way to Nanying, walked through the fire, roared, and said, "I hope he is so smart that I like him this time." ”

Xu Ruyu smiled, waved his spear, and led the cavalry to follow closely.

The tent of the middle camp was almost burned, and the fire was gradually extinguished.

In the open space between the front camp and the middle camp were three teams of thousand-strong bright light armor elite horsemen, shining slightly cold in the moonlight. The leader is in white silver armor, holding a rotten silver gun, and his crown hair is tied with a scholar's scarf. With the glory of Xiongxiong, Xu Ruyu saw that his face was tense, and a cruel light shot out of his beautiful eyes, and knew that he had angered him again.

Zhang Zhongdao asked on the side, "Who is this sissy?" The voice was not for Xu Ruyu alone, and the six hundred Wanling Jingqi laughed when they heard it, and indifferently put life and death out of the way.

Xu Ruyu was also vicious, and replied loudly: "He is Xu Bodang's military advisor, called Yin Weixiu, you call him Ah Xiu." ”

"Bullshit military advisor, I think he is the prince Xu Bodang is playing." Zhang Zhongdao scolded out.

Yin Weixiu's jade face was distorted with anger, his face was hideous and he didn't speak, he waved his hand, and a team of thousands of elite horsemen rushed towards Wanling's six hundred elite horsemen at a gallop.

Zhang Zhongdao spat into the fire on one side, stirring up a burst of ashes.

Xu Ruyu said to him: "If you still have the strength, go and entangle Yin Weixiu." ”

Xu Ruyu saw Zhang Zhongdao stabbing in from the enemy's formation, and immediately guarded his heart, entered a state of mind that stopped water and no waves, and led the cavalry to fight with the 1,000 Baishi army that rushed up.

A shot came, Xu Ruyu turned his head to the side, and a shot was pointed at his throat, and several lines of blood arrows erupted along the head of the gun, and with a flick of his hand, he dismounted a person on the right side of his body. Xu Ruyu turned his head and saw that everyone had been entangled with the Baishi Army in one place, and secretly cursed a few words, so he issued two rapid short whistles, Wanling six hundred fine horsemen heard the order, and quickly formed a snowflake six out formation, Xiaoling was in the center, five people from the inside to the outside, where to meet a strong enemy, Xiaoling rushed out to make up for it, like a snowflake six out of the general telescopic rotation, the Baishi cavalry was kept out of the shape of the snowflake. Xu Ruyu waved the spear in his hand again, and led the way to the Baishi cavalry formation. The Wanling Spirit Rider pierced through the gaps in the White Stone Riding Array like a hundred snowflakes, penetrating through the past in an instant.

Xu Ruyu saw that Zhang Zhongdao and Yin Weixiu were fighting together, and it was difficult to distinguish between them, and the two of them were extremely imposing, so that no one else could force in within a few zhang of the surroundings. Secret Dao: Fortunately, there is a fierce person like Zhang Zhongdao, looking at Ah Xiu's posture, I am afraid that I will not be able to take a few tricks. Xu Ruyu has been focusing most of his thoughts on the restructuring of the Wanling Army for more than two months, and he has not worked hard in martial arts, and has made little progress. Although he has just gotten a glimpse of the Dan Breath Technique, if he wants to use it like a miracle, it can't be done in a short period of time after all.

Xu Ruyu led the crowd to ride towards the second team of the Baishi Army's thousand-man Mingguang Jing Cavalry, and when he was about to penetrate his formation, he gave Yin Weixiu a strange look, he sealed Zhang Zhongdao outside his body with a shot, and shouted: "Divide the left and right, and form the back of the horns." ”

Hearing the order, the Baishi elite cavalry did not entangle with the Wanling army, and quickly separated from it, separated from both sides, and a team of five hundred people gathered behind the two wings of the Wanling army, and a team of thousands of elite cavalry guarding at the front end, surrounded the Wanling people. The group of 1,000 Mingguang Elite Cavalry, which had been scattered, galloped quickly to the third team, quickly regrouped, and in a moment, it formed a strong wall in front of the camp gate. showed that Baishi Jingqi was well-trained, which made Xu Ruyu look at the scalp tingling.

Zhang Zhongdao struck a halberd, returned to the Wanling array, and shouted at Xu Ruyu: "This sissy doesn't seem to be simple." ”

Xu Ruyu secretly complained in his heart, he wanted to steal the opportunity to pass through the enemy formation and approach the gate of the front camp, at that time, as long as Qi Chuancheng sent troops to respond, they would be able to escape. I don't want the second thousand-person array to be seen through by Yin Weixiu before it has passed through. Looking at the regrouping of the three thousand formations, Xu Ruyu couldn't stop beating the drum in his heart, although the snowflake six formations were extremely exquisite, but in the face of the experienced Baishi Jingqi, the role that could be played was very limited.

Although the White Rock Cavalry will not form a snowflake formation, a cavalry will spontaneously form a group of several people to cooperate and fight together after a hundred battles, and the person who originally created the snowflake formation was also inspired by this. Wu Chu once said: An army that has experienced many trials of life and death already has the rudiments of various exquisite array techniques, and with a little allocation, it can become a Baisheng Xiongshi. This kind of elite cavalry that has been tempered by life and death, although the subtlety is slightly insufficient, but the cooperation is more tacit, and the single combat power is more than a step higher than Wanling.

Yin Weixiu looked at the more than 20 dead bodies lying on the ground, but none of them were Wanling cavalry, and he was so angry that his chest was full of blood. I always thought that the bearded man was the main commander of this team, and he didn't want anyone else. At this time, he also recognized that Xu Ruyu was the one who had tricked himself from the Mingyue Tower, and he was even more angry.

Zhang Zhongdao winked his eyebrows at Xu Ruyu and whispered: "You are cunning enough, I don't understand why you put on the leather armor of ordinary soldiers, it turns out that I asked you to be a substitute for the dead." ”

Xu Ruyu had no gap with him, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhongdao didn't fight very well just now, and you didn't thank me for giving you a good opportunity to fight with the main general?" ”

"Grandma's, I broke out in a cold sweat. Ah Xiu is shrewd like a ghost, and his martial arts are so piercing, if it weren't for the long girl, I would really admire and beat you. ”

This is the first time that Zhang Zhongdao has said something that is subordinate to him, and he said it so roundabout and funny, Xu Ruyu couldn't help but be happy when he heard it, but his worry was not solved.

At this time, Yin Weixiu commanded two thousand Mingguang elite cavalry to form a large circle formation, besieged the six hundred elite cavalry of Wanling, and slowly advanced inward, only fighting with the Wanling army at the edge of the two armies, and did not easily go deep into the Wanling array. In addition, the five hundred elite horsemen were divided into two teams and cruising on the outside of the circle.

Xu Ruyu knew that only the handover of the two armies could give full play to the power of the snowflake's six formations to disperse the whole attack, and now Yin Weixiu's entire team forced the six hundred Wanling elite horsemen inside, which was to see through this. Although the inner line is dense, which is conducive to the rectification of combat power, the combat power of the Baishi Jingcai is more than one step higher than that of Wanling, which makes up for the shortcomings of the outer line. During the siege of Wanling, it was impossible to give full play to the advantages of the roundabout function, and the thick-backed long knife was shorter than the long halberd suddenly became the biggest disadvantage, and the snowflake six-flower formation was completely suppressed.

Everyone felt overwhelmed, and retreated again and again, shrinking into an extremely narrow space.

Xu Ru saw that the snowflakes turned into snow clusters, and the lightness suddenly turned into heavy, and the periphery of the snow clusters quickly melted under the blazing combat power of the Baishi Army. Looking at it from a distance, Yin Weixiu organized the remaining five hundred elite horsemen on the right side and was about to charge, and a sense of powerlessness that he had never felt before grew in his heart. Zhang Zhongdao also noticed something wrong, and approached Xu Ruyu in the scuffle.

Xu Ruyu asked him: "Will you give up your brother behind you?" ”

Zhang Zhongdao didn't want the situation to deteriorate to such a place, so he gasped, and then said with a firm heart: "I will die here today." ”

Xu Ruyu said: "I will not abandon them." ”

When the left chord of the circle is opened, the five hundred elite cavalry led by Yin Weixiu will be swept over like a raging flood, and such a dense formation of six hundred elite cavalry in Wanling will not be able to withstand one of its charges. was trapped in the circle formation, and he couldn't even escape, except for Xu Ruyu and Zhang Zhongdao, who could get out, the rest of the people were not spared. Although Xu Ruyu felt that the defenders of Qichuan City had been dispatched, it was a pity that the distance of several miles was enough to make Wanling's six hundred elite cavalry recover.

Xu Ru was foolish and determined to die, and his mind without waves was suddenly raised to an unprecedented state.

The mind galloped far away, stretching out into the distance like a tentacle, and the spiritual sense grasped the movement within a radius of several miles, and sent it back to the heart.

It feels so wonderful that at that moment, hearing is no longer hearing, sight is no longer sight, touch, smell, and taste are no longer distributed to touch the outside. It is as if the five senses are mixed up in the same way, no longer separate from each other, and the five senses are together, everything is wonderful.

A new spiritual consciousness causes the external appearances to form a whole of external appearances, such as colors, shapes, sounds, smells, smells, bitterness, spiciness, sourness, saltiness, softness, hardness, heat and coldness, etc., which are vaguely placed in the mind, and then the details of which are carefully grasped by Knowledge. "The five senses are together, wonderful and wonderful, should not live in the color and heart, should not live in the sound and fragrance to touch the law and give birth to the heart, should not live in the heart, but give birth to the heart."

He knew that at this intense moment, the mind was once again elevated to the realm of the "Five Senses Returning to the Heart", which is also the realm of the five senses (rigpa, initiation, similarity, discrepancy, and ultimate awareness) mentioned in the Buddhist meditation technique.

When Xu Ruyu first learned the Water Heart Sutra, he couldn't help but wonder: Cultivating the Water Heart Sutra is like being a monk. Only now do I realize that the Heart Sutra of Stopping Water is originally an exercise that evolved from the purification technique of Buddhism and practiced the mind.

This kind of exercise has a great relationship with the wisdom root that Buddhism often talks about, and Xu Ruyu Dan breathing technique has a first glimpse of the realm, and the mind is far clearer and clearer than ordinary people, especially at this critical juncture, the will to die is excited, and the mind is almost as clear as the starry sky, reaching the realm of "returning to the heart of the five senses".

Xu Ruyu's heart moved, and he suddenly felt where the opportunity was, and said to Zhang Zhongdao: "Listen to my signal, and lead the team to bite the right tip." ”

Zhang Zhongdao never slowed down, but he thought in his heart: The enemy formation is round like an iron hoop, how can there be a tail? Following Xu Ruyu's gaze to the outside, he saw that the five hundred bright light spirit riders that were as neat as a giant spear flashed with a slight cold light in the moonlight, and he couldn't help but let out a loud shout to dispel the depression that suddenly pressed down on his heart.

Although he didn't know how Xu Ruyu could grasp the opportunity of the opening and closing of the circle array, he could only use all his strength to urge Dan to breathe, and he was unwilling to leave any strength and die under that sissy gun.

The people of Wanling also gradually realized the crisis, not only were they not taken away, but they also gave birth to a strong will to die, and bravely killed the circle array, and they even stretched out a lot for a while.

The Qichuan garrison is rushing in.

Originally, it was the safest way to slowly melt away the six hundred cavalry with the Giant Array of the Circumferential Circle of the Heavens, but it was too late. Although Baishi's troops were not weaker than the Qichuan defenders, but the morale of the six hundred cavalry in front of him was unprecedentedly low overnight, and a rout could occur if it was slightly stronger. Yin Weixiu did not dare to risk the annihilation of the entire army, and engaged the Qichuan defenders in a full-scale battle at this time, only hoping that the Qichuan defenders would come and wipe out all the 600 people. Otherwise, these 600 people will be an eternal sting in the heart of Sergeant Shiraishi, and their morale will be taken away.

The horse's hooves in his ears became clearer and clearer, and with a wave of his two guns, the five hundred bright light spirits stabbed towards the right side of the circle like a giant spear. ”

The huge array around the sky was like a huge ring, trapping a dense circle in it. Hearing this, the right side of the order suddenly dissolved and opened a gap, turning into a huge circle gap, and the giant spear array rushed from the gap into the circle array, stabbing straight into the trapped dense reunion array. It's just that at the moment when the giant ring circle array opened into a circle and was absent, there was a sharp roar in the dense circle array, and it was immediately pulled out like two silk threads, and it was divided into two teams to wrap around the two ends of the opening of the circle gap. The giant spear array pierced into the center of the circle, and the dense circle array had been divided into a "human" shape, avoiding the sharpness of the giant spear array. The giant spear array had nowhere to focus, and it pierced through the left flank of the giant array around the heavens. At this time, a regular pattern is formed on the battlefield, with a vertical line, two apostrophes on the side, and two arcs on the outside.

Yin Weixiu saw that the Armillary Circle Array was broken by himself, and wanted to cry without tears, even if he had enough time, he couldn't re-lay the Armillary Circle Array in front of Xu Ruyu and trap it, he hated it in his heart, but he was helpless, knowing that the time was no longer there, he decisively ordered the Mingguang Elite Cavalry, who was fighting with the six hundred elite cavalry of Wanling, to withdraw and form a line formation, which was in front of Xu Ruyu's six hundred elite cavalry.

Xu Ruyu ordered a prismatic formation to be formed and pointed directly at the enemy formation.

Zhang Zhongdao looked bitter on the side, and said in frustration: "You won't give the order to charge, right?" ”

Xu Ruyu's body swelled with a wave of weakness after exhaustion, and he whispered back: "Scare and scare him." ”

Zhang Zhongdao remembered the situation just now, and a cold sweat couldn't help but break out on his back blade, stretched out his hand to pat his forehead, and said, "You are really powerful, this huge array like an iron hoop has also broken for you." ”

Xu Ruyu pursed his lips and said, "I broke his sky-rushing array, and the armillary circle formation was broken by Ah Xiu for us." Seeing that Zhang Zhongdao was puzzled, he continued: "The iron hoop is a round array of the heavens, developed from the original circular array, and belongs to the formation of the trapped enemy. Later, the conquests were all wiped out, and this formation technique gradually disappeared. Yin Weixiu's formation changed slightly, but it became a killing array, with a circular formation inside, and a circumferential formation covering the outside of the circular array to prevent the enemy from breaking through. This array is out of the circumferential array of the armillary sky, but it becomes stagnant and falls to the inferior level. But I can't solve it if I trap us with absolute strength. If we were not pierced by the giant spear array, we would have been entangled in the tip of the opening and closing of the giant array, and the armillary circle would also use the opening of the circle to clamp us there, strip the men and horses from the tail, and re-form the armillary circle to trap us. This is also a wonderful change in the armillary circumference formation to make the first formation of this sleep. ”

"So Ah Xiu saved us?"

Zhang Zhongdao's voice was loud enough for all the more than 3,000 people present to hear it. Everyone in Wanling laughed again and again, and Yin Weixiu's face was calm, and it was extremely white under the moonlight.

Yin Weixiu slowly rode out of the white stone array and shouted to Xu Ruyu: "You are really called Xu Ruyu? ”

Xu Ruyu's "oh" sound, counted as an answer, looked away, and did not look at him, thinking back to the situation when the giant spear array pierced the circumferential array just now, and his scalp was numb for a while, if it weren't for the fact that his mind had reached the realm of "five senses returning to the heart" at the critical moment, so that at the moment when the circumferential array of the heavens opened and closed, he would really have to die under his piercing array.

My father once said that the Piercing Heaven Array is the most murderous killing array, which changes from the Circumferential Formation of the Heavenly Circle, and it is also a formation of bullying the weak with the strong, but it is necessary to put the weak to death.

Dao Zesheng, there is no killing array in the world, and the formation of killing machine is also alive, but if your mind does not reach the realm of "five senses returning to the heart", you will not be able to grasp the vitality. Now Xu Ruyu can slightly understand the relationship between the Water Stopping Heart Sutra and the Qinghe Rushing Formation Technique, but he is indignant that the Baishi Army has practiced such a killing formation. My father once said: The greatest function of the Piercing Heaven Array is to slaughter quickly.

Now he is extremely disgusted with Yin Weixiu, even if he doesn't want to, how can he talk to him.

Now the two armies are facing each other, like two fierce beasts that scruple each other, staring at each other, but not pounce and bite.

Wanling's four hundred elite horsemen are waiting for the arrival of Qichuan reinforcements; The three thousand elite horsemen of Baishi want to let more than 10,000 foot soldiers retreat calmly.

After a while, Zeng Yixing led the 2,000 Chen Dragon Camp Elite Cavalry to arrive, and saw that the 3,000 Elite Cavalry of Baishi slowly retreated under the leadership of Yin Weixiu, the formation was calm and unhurried, and he tried to contact a few times, but he couldn't find the slightest gap, and he also lost some people, so he stopped the pursuit, and returned to Qichuan City with the 5,000 steps that arrived later.

In this battle, the Baishi army was killed and wounded due to the chaos and trampling on each other, and Zhang Zhongdao led the cavalry to kill a total of more than 2,600 people, and the baggage of the army (including 20 stone artillery crossbows) and more than 1,000 camp tents were destroyed, and more than 120 people were killed and wounded by the Mingguang Jing cavalry, and 220 people were killed and wounded (including 22 wounded) led by Xu Ruyu to Wanling. It was a battle, Xu Ruyu became famous, and Yin Weixiu returned to Biling and said to Xu Bodang: "Wanling cannot be attacked." Since then, the Baishi army has driven 100,000 people to rebuild Yiyang City and build Shenhao in January, and stationed 20,000 elite soldiers (3,000 Mingguang elite cavalry) to spy on Wanling.

If we talk about other losses, Zhang Zhongdao was burned off half of his beard, and when he shaved off his unkempt mustache, he was also a very handsome person; Then Xu Ruyu had a fever in his head, and he had to tie a scholar's towel all day long to cover his ugliness. During the fierce battle, the eyelid of his left cheek was pulled down to the wing of his nose and was cut by the enemy's blade, and the wound was burned again, leaving a shallow scar after healing, which will never be erased.

Cui'er felt pity when she saw it, and said softly: "Hair can regrow, I don't know what to do with this scar to disappear?" ”

Zhang Zhongdao said on the side: "The little ladies like Brother Jun, but they don't know that Brother Jun has a silver gun-like candle head, which is useless." I think it's still as good as Ru Yu, murderous, like a man. Cui'er blushed when she said to him, and she didn't dare to look at Xu Ruyu, Zhang Zhongdao didn't feel moved when she saw it.

Xu Ruyu felt that it might not be good for a man to be too handsome, and he didn't care about the scars on his face, but just hoped that his hair would grow quickly.

Zhang Zhongdao was a great contributor to the service, and Chen Ang was supposed to give him the title of commander to assist Zeng Yixing in defending Qichuan City. Zhang Zhongdao said: "It's still cool to kill the enemy under Ru Yu's hands." "Refused.

Chen Ang accepted Liu Zhaoyu's suggestion to set up the Qingfeng Cavalry Battalion in September, awarded Xu Ruyu the title of commander, took charge of the Qingfeng Cavalry Battalion, controlled the Chenlong Cavalry Battalion, and Zhang Zhongdao returned to the rank of lieutenant of the battalion, and cooperated with Xu Ruyu to take charge of the Qingfeng Battalion and garrison the city of Qichuan together.

Yes, Xu Ruyu and Zhang Zhongdao have experienced life and death together, and the gap between them has disappeared before, and they get along like brothers. Xu Ruyu felt that the inconvenience was that Zhang Zhongdao did not forget to sneak attack and take off his headscarf, so that his bald head appeared in front of everyone, making him lose face. And Zhang Zhongdao's skills are much higher than him, and he has repeatedly succeeded in sneak attacks. Therefore, after growing a few hairs, Xu Ruyu asked for the surname Suguan to travel.

Xu Ruyu selected elites from each battalion to form the Qingfeng Cavalry Battalion, a total of 1,000 people, the establishment is different from the Yinhu Cavalry Battalion, still based on the formation of six snowflakes, six people and one order, set up a small order, four orders and a team, with one soldier, four soldiers for the sentry, with a sentry captain, three sentry for the front, with a left lieutenant, three strikers for the battalion, set up a battalion lieutenant, and one military affairs, staff officer, and one clerk, plus the rank of left lieutenant.

Xu Ruyu was in charge of the Qingfeng Cavalry Battalion with the rank of commander, and Zhang Zhongdao was in charge of the military affairs of the Qingfeng Battalion with the rank of battalion captain, specializing in the training of the Qingfeng Battalion.

Zhang Yudao was already familiar with the Snowflake Six Out Formation Technique, and Xu Ruyu had a lot of free time and was able to concentrate on martial arts. The eldest uncle was entrusted by Chen Ang to go to Qichuan to instruct him in martial arts, and Cui'er followed him to Qichuan City.

Zhang Zhongdao also viciously forced Xu Ruyu, and often beat him to the ground in the school, and said after the play: "You used to be a left lieutenant, and almost no one said anything about you in martial arts, but now you are the commander, but you are the worst in martial arts among the twelve major commanders of Wanling, and you are only in the middle among many battalion captains." Our Qingfeng Battalion can be said to be the most elite cavalry battalion in the entire East China Sea, but it is the worst commander, where do you let us put our faces? ”

The generals who were watching nodded thoughtfully.

In order to make the Qingfeng Battalion the most elite mobile force, Chen Ang tried his best to supplement it, although Xu Ruyu's martial arts have made great progress, he is not outstanding in the Qingfeng Battalion, which is full of good hands, and can only be able to draw with the five major lieutenants. Xu Ruyu saw him say this, and he didn't say anything to refute it.

Under the leadership of Xu Ruyu, the Chenlong Cavalry Battalion and the Qingfeng Cavalry Battalion repeatedly attacked and recaptured the Twelve Lianbao south of Qichuan, forcing the Baishi Army forces back to the line of Chongtian, Yiyang, and Biling, and the threat to Wanling's chest and abdomen was lifted. The Spotted Leopard Infantry Battalion led by Fang Su and the Yinhu Battalion led by Zhang Jidao defeated the Qingzhou Army several times until the beginning of November, when the siege of Xinfeng City was released, and the Qingzhou Army retreated to the border area, and the situation in Wanling was alleviated.

At that time, Wanling had a total of 7,000 cavalry, compared with Xu Ruyu coming to Wanling in May, the combat power could not be improved in miles, and the head-on confrontation was not weaker than Qingzhou and Baishi Jingcai, according to the strength of: 1,000 people in Qingfeng Battalion, 2,000 people in Yinhu Battalion, 2,000 people in Wuma Battalion (restructured by Chen Ang in Xinfeng), 2,000 people in Chenlong Battalion (controlled by Xu Ruyu, but because of the latest restructuring, it is the weakest in strength).

The battalion infantry was expanded to 16,000 people, all of whom were restructured, especially the 4,000 people of the Spotted Leopard Battalion defended in Xinfeng (led by Fang Su to be stationed in Xinfeng in August) was the strongest, and its combat power has surpassed the Qingzhou and Baishi infantry battalions that had experienced a hundred battles, followed by the 3,000 people of the Jiamu Battalion garrisoned by Zedang, and the 2,000 people of the Qichuan Gengshui Infantry Battalion were assisted by Xu Ruyu in the restructuring, and the combat power was also improved very quickly. However, the Binghuo (3,000 people), Xujin (2,000 people), and Rentuying (2,000 people) stationed in Wanling, Yuza, and Pingyi were relatively weak.

Forced by the situation on the front line of Zedang and the pressure of his ally Xu Bodang, Yi Zhouwu removed Yi Chongwu, the commander of the Qingzhou Army in Bianyi, on October 16, and replaced him with his eldest son Yi Hanwen, and the 30,000 elite soldiers of Bayang were under his control.

On October 20, Yi Hanwen regathered 30,000 troops (including 5,000 cavalry battalions) to Xinfeng City, Yin Weixiu led 20,000 Baishi troops to fight together, and 10,000 troops were divided into Zhou Town, southwest of Qichuan, and Zedang was also besieged by 30,000 elite soldiers from Bayang. Chen Ang went to Xinfeng from Wanling again, presided over the defense with Xinfeng's general Fang Su, and awarded Zhang Jidao the title of commander, so that he could lead the Yinhu battalion to strengthen the defense of Zedang City.

At that time, there were 4,000 people in the Leopard Infantry Battalion in Xinfeng City, 2,000 people in the Afternoon Horse Riding Battalion, and 9,000 Guards in the Infantry Battalion, totaling 15,000 people.

At that time, the city of Tairu was besieged for three whole months.
