Chapter Seventy-One: A Matter of Course (3)

"Eighty-sixโ€”"

"Eighty-sevenโ€”"

"Eighty-eightโ€”"

Different from the tense confrontation between the Jizhou army and the northern Xinjiang army, the Yan King Li Mao seemed to have long forgotten that he was the overlord of the northern Xinjiang, and broke into the Jizhou army alone, killing all sides.

To tell the truth, in fact, Xie An also thought about asking the army to press, at that time, not to mention that Li Mao is also a rare hero in the world, even if he has Liang Qiuhao and Thunder two heroes Lin Fan possessed, it will be difficult to escape this catastrophe.

The reason why Xie An did not give such an order was nothing more than to take into account the northern army in the distance, and the soldiers in northern Xinjiang were left alone for the time being, but the more than 20,000 Yuyang iron horsemen couldn't help but Xie An was not vigilant.

The distance between the two armies is only two or three hundred zhang, it is too close, so close that any cavalry can rush to the enemy in the blink of an eye, in this case, even Xie An does not dare to take it lightly, after all, at the moment, his Jizhou army is the last hope to repel the Northern Xinjiang army, if even his Jizhou army is defeated, then, Li Mao, the king of Yan, can easily seize at least half of the territory of the Great Zhou, at least the entire Hebei will undoubtedly fall to the whole line.

[Could it be that he used himself as bait to force our side to fight with all his might, so that its northern army could take advantage of the weakness?] ]

Seeing Li Mao's domineering appearance rampant in his own Jizhou army, Xie An frowned slightly, and secretly thought in his heart.

"It's not good to go on like this......" From the side, Li Xian, the king of the eight sages, frowned and said.

"Hmm!" Xie An nodded when he heard this.

In fact, he is also very clear in his heart, although he Jizhou Army has not even dispatched one-tenth of it at the moment, to put it bluntly, there are only a few thousand people who accompany Li Mao to fight, as for the other troops of the main division. There has never been any movement, let alone Fei Guo, Ma Dan, and Liao Li's three partial divisions.

However, although his Jizhou soldiers did not move seriously for the time being in order to find out the intentions of Li Mao, the king of Yan, but like now, thousands of Jizhou soldiers were slaughtered by Li Mao, who only relied on the strength of one person, which was for morale. It is undoubtedly an immeasurable damage.

"Dibu!" After thinking about it for a while, Xie An raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Yanwang Li Mao, and said in a deep voice.

As soon as the words fell, among the people behind Xie An and Li Xian, the warden of the Great Prison Temple, Di Bu Ze, walked out on his horse, hugged his fists towards Xie An and Li Xian, and immediately carried a spear the thickness of a child's arm, and drove towards Li Mao, the king of Yan.

Strictly speaking, it's the same as Mofei. Di Bu does not belong to the Jizhou Army, nor does it belong to the military system, they are subordinate to the Great Prison Temple, and to put it bluntly, they are law enforcement officials, but it is undeniable that Di Bu is the only one under Xie An's command who can compete with Fei Guo, the first fierce general of the Jizhou Army. As for the other person, it is of course Liao Li.

"Big brother alone, I'm afraid I can't do it......"

Looking at the background where Dibu left. His sworn brother, Gou Gong, who was also one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Dongling, frowned and said.

"......" Xie An was silent. In fact, he knows it very well. Although Di Bu is already a rare fierce general in the world, he is still a lot worse than the generals at the level of Li Mao, Liang Qiu Hao, Zhen Lei, and Liang Qiu Wu, otherwise, why would he be so cautious, like dealing with the Taiping army in Guangling. Directly ask the Jizhou army under his command to crush the past, and it will be over.

"Let's take a look first!" Looking at Li Mao's direction, Xie Anluo said a little absent-mindedly.

Hearing this, Gou Gong didn't say anything more, but after sighing, he said a little unwillingly. "If the Lord and His Royal Highness King Xian don't mind the death of Li Mao, the king of Yan, then it would be ...... to be humble."

Gou Gong didn't say any more, but his meaning was already very clear, and it was not impossible for him, who was proficient in poison, to stab anyone, unless that person was also proficient in pharmacology like Jin Ling'er.

Maybe he heard some heart-wrenching words, Li Xian, the Eight Sages King, couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Gou Gong, and said with a wry smile, "Although Gou Shaoqing's proposal is good, it is not righteous!" - No matter how Li Mao said it, he was also a frontier general sitting in Yuyang, Saibei, and he was quite meritorious, and he won the support of the military and people in the land of Youyan, which was very different from the previous turmoil of the Three Kings...... At present, Li Mao, as a courtier, is retrograde, and will attack the unrighteous soldiers in the capital of my Great Zhou, and the one who has lost the benevolence and righteousness is him; And if we act according to Gou Shaoqing's proposal and kill Li Mao, once this matter spreads, it will also have a great impact on the majesty of our court...... All in all, Li Maoxing's unrighteous soldiers and unrighteous deeds must not be reciprocated by the imperial court, on the contrary, they must also exert more benevolence and righteousness, so that the hearts of the people of the world will gradually return to our court, not the northern frontier! โ€

"Do those who have attained the Tao have much help, but those who have lost the Tao have little help?" Gou Gong muttered when he heard this.

Looking at Gou Gong in some surprise, Li Xian nodded and said, "Not bad!" The army of King Xingren, do benevolent and righteous things, and resist chaos with righteousness, then our army will win this battle! โ€

Gou Gong nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, Di Bu, the warden of the Great Prison Temple, had already driven his war horse to Li Mao, the king of Yan, and waved his hand to repel the Jizhou soldiers who were confronting Li Mao.

"Ninety...... Seven! โ€

With a flick of the dragon and tiger halberd in his hand, he cut off a Jizhou sergeant at the waist, Li Mao looked around, as if he was surprised why the Jizhou sergeant who was still surging like a tide suddenly retreated.

Looking up, Li Mao finally saw Di Bu, a strong man riding a tall horse, even if it was him, a trace of surprise flashed in the tiger's eyes.

[Good fellow, this guy...... How majestic! ]

Li Mao was slightly shocked in his heart.

You must know that in the Jizhou army, Fei Guo, who is about nine feet tall, is already a strong man to be looked up to, a head taller than ordinary people, but Di Bu is even stronger than Fei Guo, half a head taller than the latter, which makes Di Bu just stand there with Le Ma, giving Li Mao, the king of Yan, a not weak deterrent.

"Let's get the name together!" Putting away the dragon and tiger halberd in his hand, Yan King Li Mao shouted in a deep voice.

It's not that he was frightened by Di Bu's appearance, in fact, Li Mao just favored martial artists from the bottom of his heart, and the more powerful the martial artists, the more he was pleased. Perhaps this is related to the fact that he taught martial arts in Liangqiu Gong since he was a child and mixed in the Eastern Army barracks.

Although Di Bu was born in the Assassin's Nest, and now holds the position of the warden of the Great Prison Temple, he has a bit of a military general's temperament in his bones, holding a gun and holding a fist. The buzz said, "Great Prison Temple, hold your head firm, Dibu! โ€

"The Great Prison Temple's head is firmly on it?" Li Mao was stunned when he heard this, you must know that he originally had the intention to surrender, but when he heard the other party's words. He immediately put aside the idea of surrendering. After all, who doesn't know that the Great Prison Temple is the government where Xie An made his career, and now that this Di Bu can hold the unusual position of the head of the Great Prison Temple, there is no doubt that this strong man named Di Bu must be Xie An's loyal confidant.

[It turned out to be Xie An's henchman, in that case, I will kill you first and cut off Xie An's arm!] It's a pity that this person is so good-looking......]

With a slight hum, Li Mao's eyes opened suddenly. Wielding the dragon and tiger halberd in his hand, he slashed at Dibu.

You must know that Li Mao and Xie An have different enmities for beauty, Xie An not only took away the woman that Li Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, admired, but also took away Li Mao, the hostess of the overlord of Northern Xinjiang, the only difference is that Li Mao is obviously not as open-minded as Li Xian, no matter how persuaded by others, he is still stubborn, to put it bluntly. It's a special careful eye.

Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why the first emperor Li Ji was not satisfied with Li Mao, the first warrior of his Great Zhou Li clan. Because Li Mao, although he has the bold character of a martial artist, he also has the extreme extremity of a martial artist. In terms of open-mindedness, it is far inferior to the former crown prince Li Wei, the king of Qin Li Shen, and the king of Anling Li Cheng, not to mention the eight sages king Li Xian.

"Whew-"

Before the halberd arrived, the strong wind arrived first. Rao is Di Bu has been worshipping under the Liangqiu Gong since he entered the Liangqiu Gongmen, and sometimes learned martial arts with Liangqiu Wu and Fei Guo and others, not to mention that he has also seen the terrible of Liang Qiuhao's unparalleled hero, and this time his heart is like an angry wave hitting the reef.

Before he had time to think about it, Dibu subconsciously exerted all his strength. He threw the spear as thick as a child's arm in his hand.

[I don't believe that your arm strength is better than that of the Great Mistress!] ]

The tiger's eyes were red, faintly with a bit of murderous intent, Di Bu said secretly.

However, at this moment, Di Bu noticed that Li Mao's eyes showed contempt.

Before Di Bu could understand, he only heard a soft sound, and the dragon and tiger halberd in the hand of Li Mao, the king of Yan, was shocked high by Di Bu's power.

[What?] Could it be that this Li Mao is just an empty shelf? ]

Di Bu's heart was even more confused, and before he could react, he saw Li Mao snort lightly, and the dragon and tiger halberd that was bounced up in his right hand fell down to his right rib because of gravity, and at this moment, Li Mao's left hand backhand was behind his back, and he grabbed the dragon and tiger halberd, and at the same time, his right hand corrected his grip to a reverse grip, and with a force, the dragon and tiger halberd turned around near his shoulder in a circle, and once again struck Di Bu's chest.

It turned out that Li Mao's previous heavy slash was just a feint, and this move from the bottom to the top was the real killing move.

"Whew-"

How could Di Bu have predicted that he didn't have time to withdraw the spear, and the armor on his chest was completely cut by Yan King Li Mao, and in an instant, the red blood suddenly flowed out.

"How could it be ......" Di Bu looked at the red on his chest in disbelief, raised his head in amazement, and stared at the man in front of him in golden armor like a martial god on the battlefield, Li Mao, the king of Yan.

"Oh?" It seemed that he noticed Di Bu's distraction, and Li Mao, the king of Yan, was not in a hurry to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and said lightly, "This king heard that you and Fei Guo, the commander of the Jizhou army, worshiped under the door of Liangqiu's family to practice martial arts, why, didn't this king's seat and Xiao Wu's senior sister have never handed you over?" This Liangqiu family's marksmanship...... Wheel fire! โ€

"Wheels...... Fire? Di Bu was shocked, you know, although he worshiped Liang Qiu's family in the name, but Liang Qiu Gong actually did not teach him and Fei Guo how subtle and profound the moves, more just the foundation of some foundations.

For example, horse steps and punching, it is said that Liang Qiu Hao and Liang Qiu dance cousins and sisters, just one horse step has been tied for two years, and Xie An, in the three years he has been practicing martial arts and fitness, Liang Qiu Dance has only taught him how to punch.

It's not that it's hidden, it's just the ancestral training of the Liangqiu family, just like the first toddler, you can't walk yet, and you still want to learn to run? Let's honestly start by climbing!

It's no wonder, after all, the generations of the Liangqiu family must master the double-edged sword-like family stunt of Wuyan, and to master this stunt, those children of the Liangqiu family must have an extremely solid foundation, otherwise, I'm afraid they won't even be able to cross the threshold from seven to ten years old.

Don't look at Fei Guo and Di Bu going out, it seems that they can fight a hundred. But in Liang Qiugong's opinion, the two of them are at best just relying on their own extraordinary talents to use indiscriminately, unless they are a genius like Liang Qiu Hao, otherwise, with the power of one person, any wisdom that can be compared with the Liang Qiu family that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

And so. In those days of Liang Qiu's family, Di Bu and Fei Guo only followed Liang Qiugong's instructions and gradually revised their previous habits of using power, although this was very difficult, but it also benefited them a lot.

However, this also led to the fact that Di Bu now couldn't even recognize the marksmanship of the Liangqiu family used by Li Mao, the king of Yan, and he was lucky with one move.

One move, defeat the enemy!

Not to mention that the Jizhou army was in an uproar, even Xie An was full of horror on his face.

In all fairness. He had heard his wife Liang Qiu Dance say more than once that Li Mao had learned from her Liang Qiu family, and his marksmanship made him superb, but because he had never seen Liang Qiu Dance perform marksmanship before, Xie An subconsciously thought that Liang Qiu's family was focusing on swords rather than guns.

In fact, Liang Qiu Wu also used a gun at first, but later she captured the "Wolf Slash", a treasure knife created by the exhaustive tribe of the Blue Wolf Tribe, during the Battle of Jizhou, which can generate flames out of thin air to enhance lethality. Therefore, Liangqiu Dance should use a sword.

In fact, Xie An can also think more. If Liang Qiu's family really paid attention to swords rather than guns, why did Liang Qiu teach him marksmanship when Liang Qiu Hao returned to Jijing to live in his mansion temporarily, and nothing else.

Thinking about it, the Liang Qiu family has commanded the cavalry of the Eastern Army's Shenwu Battalion for generations, so it stands to reason. It should be that the use of long weapons such as guns and halberds is more experienced and experienced.

"It's not good...... "The left eye jumps auspiciously, the right eye jumps fiercely, Xie An instinctively feels his right eyelid popping and popping.

[Liang Qiu's marksmanship...... Is it? ]

Xie An took a slight breath, feeling a faint pain in his head.

Liang Qiuhao, Zhen Lei, and Li Mao, among these three heroes, who can also be called famous all over the world. Ask who of them is the easiest to deal with.

Previously, Xie An would not hesitate to choose Li Mao.

After all, Liang Qiu Hao is the most outstanding contemporary concubine of the Liang Qiu family, and without teaching a teacher and abandoning martial arts for at least seven years, he can still rely on his memory and incredible talent to suppress his cousin Liang Qiu Dance for a time.

This talent is absolutely unprecedented, and it can be called a rare genius in hundreds of years.

After all, in order to snipe this person, thousands of Jizhou soldiers dragged him desperately, and dragged this person into the bottomless swamp abyss.

The so-called life to see people, death to see corpses, of course Xie An at that time also wanted to use the sword as a more practical way to kill the thunder, but the thunder made the Jizhou army see how terrible it would be when such a big hero in the world was not burdened by foreign objects.

The Jizhou army should feel lucky, if it weren't for the decisive battle of the valley, Liang Qiuhao couldn't bear to kill his cousin-in-law Xie An in order to save Liu Qing, so he could only choose to break through; If it weren't for the Jizhou army in the grass forest outside Xiangyang to wisely kill all the Baishui soldiers beside the thunder first, I'm afraid the battle situation would not be like it is now.

But then again, whether it is a fluke or not, Liang Qiuhao and Array Lei, the two invincible heroes, have also died in battle one after another, and it stands to reason that the remaining Yan King Li Mao will be relatively easy to deal with.

Indeed, Xie An did think so before this, until Li Mao, the king of Yan, asked Di Bu to hang up the lottery with just one move. At this time, Xie An realized that maybe Yan King Li Mao did not have the amazing talent of Liang Qiu Hao, nor did he have the unbelievable strong intuition of the thunder, nor did he have the bloodline of Liang Qiu Dance that could stimulate the family stunt of Wuyan at any time, or like Jin Ling'er, he could use the golden needle to stimulate the acupuncture points and have a talent comparable to Wu Yan in a short time, but Li Mao was a student of Liang Qiu Gong, and he learned martial arts and the art of war under Liang Qiu Gong's careful teaching since he was a child.

In other words, at this moment, Li Mao, the Yan King that Xie An was facing, was like a member of the Liangqiu family who could not open the fog flame trick, and in addition, Li Mao was proficient in all the moves of the Liangqiu family, especially the spear technique.

[Won't it......]

Thinking of this, Xie An raised his head and once again focused his attention on Li Mao, the king of Yan, in the distance.

At this time, Fei Guo and Liao Li had also come to Di Bu's side, and glanced at Li Mao with a hostile expression.

"Just three?" Under the golden helmet, a faint mockery appeared on Li Mao's face, and he hooked his fingers and said, "The name of the person who came is common!" โ€

Fei Guo and Liao Li glanced at each other, followed the rules of the fighting generals in front of the battle, clasped their fists, and stated their identities.

"The commander of the first army of the Jizhou Army, Fei Guo!"

"Commander of the three armies of the Jizhou Army, Liao Li!"

"Oh? Is that the two of you? When Yan King Li Mao heard this, his tiger eyes bloomed a little, and he snorted coldly and said, "It was you two who intercepted my two Yuyang Iron Riders a while ago, right?" This king is still thinking about when he will be able to shame the Yuyang Iron Cavalry soldiers under his command, and I don't want you two to dare to appear in front of this king! - What about Ma Dan? Why don't you come to fight this king? Wouldn't it be better for this king to slay you and others today? โ€

"......" Fei Guo was furious when he heard this, but because Li Mao had been famous for a long time, he could barely endure it.

As for Liao Li, he was extremely impulsive back then, but now his heart has changed greatly, and when he saw Li Mao's disrespectful words, he didn't want to talk to him more, but he secretly held back his strength in his heart, and he would definitely make him look good later, even if he couldn't capture this person, he would definitely lose face.

With their own thoughts in their hearts, Fei Guo, Liao Li and Di Bu glanced at each other, and slowly surrounded Li Mao on horseback, looking for an opportunity to move.

At the same time, in the main formation of the main division of the Jizhou Army, Mo Fei, the top assassin of the Dongling Clan, passed through the soldiers like a fish swimming in the water, came to Xie An's side, and said a few words to him in his ear, only to hear Xie An's eyebrows tremble, and then wrinkled tightly.

"What? An overwhelming cavalry team? (To be continued......)
