Chapter 371: The Holy Maiden Borrows the Way
Early the next morning, Tang An received two messages, one good and one bad.
The good news is that the Velvet Fairy is back. The reason why this erratic woman left was simple: to find medicine for Su Mei'er. But in the barren yellow earth, it is too difficult to see a touch of green.
Although there are no herbs, Su Meier's condition has improved. Maybe it was last night's conversation that made her uncover the knot in her heart, and after drinking a few bowls of hot soup, her complexion gradually became ruddy.
Seeing that Su Mei'er had turned into the goblin who turned all beings upside down again, Tang An had just put a heart in his stomach, and Ma Shangshu gave him another blow to the head.
"My lord, you have found the enemy army ten miles ahead!"
Hearing the news, everyone began to gear up and jump to the edge. Two big wins in a row have already made their confidence burst. However, Ma Shangshu's subsequent words made everyone stop thinking.
"The enemy army is about 8,000 people, coming from the west, and it looks like reinforcements sent by the Xia Kingdom."
Eight thousand, more than twice as many as one's own, how can this battle be fought?
"Lord Tang, what should we do?" Chen Buping said anxiously.
It is obviously impossible to fight hard, and the only way to do this is to turn around. However, the two sides were only ten miles apart, and the wind and sand were not enough to bury their tracks, and when the other party found footprints and ruts everywhere, they would definitely intensify their search, and they would have nothing to hide.
Suddenly, Tang An suddenly thought of the man in black.
Touching the Shenwu token that he had been carrying, Tang An smiled slightly and said, "We don't have to be afraid, just rush over." β
Rush over? Could it be that Lord Tang can use stealth techniques to make a full 3,000 people disappear out of thin air?
Chen Buping's face was full of worry, and he said, "Brother Tang, like this... Will it work? β
Tang An smiled and said: "We definitely can't do it, but with Sister Fairy, we are seventy percent sure." β
Li Dazhuang slapped his thigh and said, "Lao Tzu knows!" It's a good idea to let Fairy Murong kill the local boss first! β
"Kill your sister! If you kill someone else's boss, it's no wonder that people don't fight with you! Tang An scolded.
Everyone laughed, Li Dazhuang touched his head in embarrassment, and said, "Why is that?" β
Tang An took out the Shenwu token and said, "There is a Shenwu Sect in the Xia Kingdom, have you heard of it?" β
"I've heard of it, I've heard of it."
"There is a saint in the church, have you heard of it?"
"I've heard of it, I've heard of it."
"Smack!" Li Dazhuang slapped his thigh again and said, "I know!" Fairy Murong is the holy daughter of the Demon Sect! β
Tang An rolled his eyes, at this moment he missed the fat man very much, if Li Dazhuang was introduced to Cheng Caihe, he didn't know how strong the fat man who had always doubted his IQ would build up a strong self-confidence.
"I meanβalthough the Murong Fairy is not a saint, she can pretend to be a saint." Tang An smiled evilly, "If you want to come to that saintess, it must be rare for ordinary people to see it." If you let the Velvet Fairy wear a veil and show her hands, do you think those beards will believe it? β
Chen Buping thought for a while and said, "If... What if they don't get it? β
"I won't miss it, because this piece in my hand is the token of the Shenwu Sect's representative sect leader, and it was also snatched from that holy woman." Tang An pointed to the wooden card in his hand, with a proud face.
Ji Chen's face was full of surprise, and he said, "I heard that the Holy Maiden of the Shenwu Sect is as beautiful as a heavenly immortal and has superb martial arts, why did the eldest brother still fight with her?" β
Tang An smiled and said, "It's just a fluke to win one and a half moves." β
Chen Buping was greatly moved: Look at Lord Tang, such a high "martial arts" has been silent, and it is really a real person who does not show his face.
"Big brother, you actually know martial arts?" Ji Chen's eyes lit up, and he rolled up his sleeves and said, "Great, I've been a martial arts idiot since I was a child, and I beg my eldest brother to guide me in a move and a half!" β
"Alas!" Tang An shook his head, "It's not a problem to guide you, but at least you have to wait until the current crisis is over." If you don't have any objections, then it's decided! β
"Good!"
A group of people shouted, Tang An had already proved his leadership talent with his actions, except for him, I am afraid that no one could convince this group of unruly men.
"Since everyone agrees, let me talk about the plan of action." Tang An smiled and said, "Our action this time is called - the Holy Maiden borrows the way!" β
********************
At noon, the sun is blazing.
The heat wave in your face seems to melt even the air. The cloth shoes stepped on the bright yellow soil, and with each step, the soles of the feet could feel the heat from the earth.
However, the Avengers seemed to be fearless, maintaining the most neat array, everyone with a solemn expression, not caring about the sweat rolling down. But under the well-trained appearance, it can't hide everyone's nervousness.
Because they saw the "enemy army" in Marchand's mouth.
Directly in front of them, a large group of men had already assembled. Without knowing the identity of the opponent, the commander of the 8,000 men chose the most secure defensive formation.
Compared with the strong beard, the Avengers have a clear disadvantage in terms of numbers and formation, but the momentum is not afraid, so that the beard on the opposite side looks at each other, and they don't understand where these ragged soldiers get their courage.
Only they themselves know that this is simply pretending. Many people appear to be calm and light, but their hands are tightly gripping the hilt of the knife, ready to fight desperately at any time.
The distorted air blurred everyone's eyes. Li Dazhuang wiped a handful of hot sweat, Rao is he has always been bold, but he couldn't help beating the drum in his heart, and quietly said to Ji Chen beside him: "Brother, Lord Tang's method is really feasible?" β
Ji Chen nodded with a firm face and said, "Big brother said it was feasible, then it must be feasible." Don't forget, how we got out of the hell gate. β
With the previous two hearty victories in mind, Li Dazhuang raised a cruel smile and said, "Damn, it's really fun to follow Brother Tang." It's a pity that this time, I can't continue to kill the beard. β
"Shhhh
Ji Chen made a silent gesture, looked from a distance, and a fast horse from the opposite army came to stop fifty meters away from the Avengers, and shouted: "Who are you?" β
Tang An whispered a few words to Chen Buping, Chen Buping understood, and shouted in Xia Yu, who was full of words: "The holy woman borrows the way, and you wait to give way!" β
The man was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the other party to be so fierce with such a small number of people. Pulling the reins, he said, "What holy woman?" We are the warriors of the Huns, and we have been ordered to support General Morantu and send supplies to the army that is fighting, so why don't you get out of the way! β
Seeing that the other party was so tough, Chen Buping couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Brother Tang, what should I do?" β
Not only him, but even the people around him were infected by the tense atmosphere, but he didn't expect to report the name of the Holy Maiden of the Shenwu Sect, and he still couldn't scare these beards. Once their identities are revealed, they will not have the slightest chance in the face of enemies that are twice their size.
Everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to Tang An, at this moment, his every word could become the key to affecting the battle situation.
Tang An's face was serious and said, "Laugh!" β
"Laugh?"
"Yes, the louder the better, laugh, give me a smile!"
Although he didn't know what to do, since Tang An had spoken, a group of soldiers didn't dare to disobey, and the whole three thousand people laughed together. Of course, such a move seemed like a great insult to the Hun warriors opposite, and they glared and asked, "What are you laughing at!" No matter where you come from, if you dare to mock the bravest warriors of the desert, you will definitely pay the price! β
Chen Buping whispered a few words to Tang An again, and said loudly: "We are the personal guards of the Holy Maiden, so you are also worthy of letting us make way?" Get out, tell your boss to come and answer in person! β
The Xiongnu were expelled from the Han Dynasty's general Huo Qubing all the way to the west, and the largest of them took root in the Western Regions, and together with Tiele, they became the two most powerful forces in the entire Xia Kingdom.
Over the years, the accumulation of power is still there, so that the Huns have developed the habit of being high, even if it is an ordinary Huns, walking sideways on the street, without taking anyone in their eyes. The sentry in front of him, as a member of the elite of the Huns, when had he been reprimanded so unceremoniously?
No wonder he was suspicious, the Holy Maiden of the Divine Martial Sect was high, sacred and inviolable. As his personal guard, how could he be so tattered? The man gritted his teeth and said, "How can you prove that you are a saint?" β
Chen Buping's heart suddenly sudden, and he suddenly felt that his palms were full of sweat. Tang An's plan to let Mu Rong pretend to be the Holy Maiden of the Shenwu Sect was ingenious, but he forgot the most important point: the fairy couldn't speak Xia! If she opened her mouth, wouldn't she immediately reveal her stuffing?
Soon, Tang An used his actions to let them know that his worries were meaningless. The real domineering does not need to be explained at all.
"Sister Fairy, beat him!"
With an order, the curtain of the carriage opened, and a white figure was quick to see it. The distance of fifty meters is not close, but it is not far, for a master like Mu Rong, it is only the distance between breaths.
The Hun sentinel's eyes widened, but he couldn't capture the true face of the white figure at all, and in just a moment, the white-clothed figure was close to his eyes.
"Herod!"
The horse beneath him neighed uneasily, as if sensing a pang of unease. And its owner was about to draw his sword to defend himself, but he saw an extremely ordinary white step on the head of the horse in front of him, and the long white skirt fluttered, confusing his vision.
In the next moment, a tender little hand slapped lightly on his chest as if caressing.
"Poof!"
An irresistible force came, and the Hun sentry spurted out a mouthful of blood from the sky, and the whole person flew out of the horse's back like an arrow from the string, and fell five meters away.
And the white figure, as if doing a trivial thing, black green silk flew, lightly stepped on the docile horse's head, and the whole person flew away.
All this happened between lightning and flint, but everyone on both sides was dumbfounded. Especially the Hun army, after a short silence, erupted into a burst of angry invective.
When did the first army of the dignified Xia Kingdom receive such an insult?
They didn't hear the previous conversation, but they really saw what was happening. Many bearded men drew their swords, and when the commander gave the order, they would trample the troops that dared to provoke the majesty of the Huns to pieces.
On the side of the Avengers, the soldiers were even more dumbfounded, but they didn't expect Lord Tang to fight when he said that he would fight, without any delay.
Merely... With such a naked slap in the face, how could the other party give up? Look at the beard on the opposite side, as long as the opposing coach sends a simple signal, it must be a round of undying charge!
"Fuck, fight with the beard!" Li Dazhuang spat out, took out the steel knife, stared at the red eyes and said: "Lao Tzu has long seen that these miscellaneous pieces are not pleasing to the eye, the big deal is a life, fuck it!" β
Li Dazhuang's bloodshed gave all the Tang Dynasty soldiers a shot in the arm, and everyone pulled out their weapons and prepared to make a final fight with Huzi.
The two armies are facing each other, and it is a thousand shots!
