Chapter 5: The Might of the Divine Realm (I)
Although the five or six thousand men and horses under Guo Yan had just won the battle, when the soldiers saw the fire burning in the rear camp, they knew that the grain and grass were no longer guaranteed, and their morale was suddenly low.
In this troubled era, being a soldier is all about making ends meet, if there is no food supply, who is willing to charge into battle, Guo Yan looked at the low morale of his subordinates, and knew that at this time, the morale of the army was weakened, and it was used to stop the army five hundred steps away from the big tent of the Chinese army.
Guo Yan rode to the middle of the military formation and shouted to the soldiers: "When you see the fire in the back camp, you know that the food is gone, but this is not a matter of urgency, General Tianming Ben sent someone to Hongnong County to find Taishou Zhang Ji to borrow, Hongnong County is full of grain and grass, and General Zhang Ji is my brother, so this food problem is not difficult at all, now that General Li Dao is dead, I am the supreme commander here, and the two murderers are in front, how can we not avenge General Li." ”
When the soldiers heard that Tianming could borrow food, the army's heart stabilized a lot, and Guo Yan knew that many people in the army were frightened by Wang Yue's methods, so he lied: "I have seen a lot of masters who can urge Xuanguang to kill people, but how can mortals resist our thousands of troops and horses!" Pass on my general's order, anyone who can stab the murderer will be rewarded with 100 gold, and whoever kills the murderer will be crowned general! ”
The soldiers all showed greedy and vicious expressions when they heard such a rich reward, and Guo Yan saw that the soldiers were proud of their fighting spirit, so they continued to stimulate everyone: "In addition, I also sent someone to tell Hu Zhen and Yan Xing, the two generals, about this reward, so if you still hesitate, then such a great benefit will be robbed by others." ”
After listening to Guo Yan's words, the soldiers became hideous, one by one, they looked at the 'prey' in front of them like wild beasts, and the soldiers were willing to wait for the arrival of reinforcements, all shouting and wanting to be the first to rush forward.
As soon as Guo Yan saw that the army's heart was available, he asked the standard-bearer to wave the command flag and command the infantry in front to charge and kill, and saw nearly 5,000 men and horses pounce on Wang Ping's master and apprentice like beasts out of the cage.
And Wang Ping, who was standing in the distance opposite, heard that Guo Yan was encouraging the army, so he knew that he was not good, and the thief general Guo Yan was really good at using soldiers to persuade the master: "Master, the thief is strong in front of him, otherwise let's retreat first, and it will not be too late to find an opportunity to kill him in the next day." ”
Wang Yue also had a solemn face, he looked at the thief soldiers, so arrogant, he thought that the precise layout of the night was finally reversed by the thief soldiers, but if he retreated first according to what Wang Ping said, the emperor and others would definitely be caught up by Guo Yan's troops, and no one would be spared.
Now that Guo Yan is difficult to kill, he can only fight to the death, and after destroying these 5,000 people, he will have no soldiers available, and the emperor will naturally be able to reach Luoyang safely.
Wang Yue was Emperor Huan's swordsmanship teacher when he was young, and the later Emperor Ling and the current Emperor Xian also worshipped him as the emperor's teacher, so Wang Yue thought that even if he died here, he would repay the kindness of several emperors, but his apprentice was still very young and could not let him bury his life with him.
Thinking of this, Wang Yue said to Wang Ping: "The apprentice asked me how many soldiers the Divine Realm can defeat in the battlefield before, do you know that ten years ago, my senior brother Tong Yuan killed 10,000 elite iron horsemen of the Huns, and finally killed Shan Yuqiangqu, and now this mere 5,000 thieves and soldiers can do anything to me, it depends on how the division exterminated these rabble, as for you are still hiding in the distance, I have to be distracted to take care of your thoughtfulness." ”
Wang Ping listened to the master's bold words and was very excited, thinking that the master could kill 10,000 enemies, and with the master's ability, even if he could not completely annihilate these thieves, he could protect his own safety.
It's just that Wang Ping didn't know that his master Wang Yue had already avenged his mortal heart at this time, and Tong Yuan had already surpassed the realm of the gods when he killed the Huns.
Wang Ping picked up an iron sword from the ground and said to the master: "Master, although you don't care about me if you kill the enemy, as long as I hide it when the light is dark, no one will be able to find it, but the master should not be too warlike, if you feel in danger, evacuate quickly!" With that, he turned around and ran backwards, and after a few starts, he disappeared into the darkness.
Wang Yue looked at the direction Wang Ping left with satisfaction, thinking that if I die here, I will be sad and sad with the heart of an apprentice, but I just hope that he will not do the stupid thing of a moth to a fire, at this time Wang Yue heard the thieves in the rear roaring and rushing, so he put away the ancient sword on his back and said to himself: "Juque Ancient Sword, are you already eager to drink the blood of the enemy." ”
As soon as the words fell, Wang Yue injected his true qi into the sword, causing the entire sword body to emit a dazzling yellow light, only to see him kick the human sword under his feet and fly directly to the enemy formation, just when he was still more than ten steps away from the thief forward, Wang Yue stopped his body and swept the thief soldier in front of him with all his strength with the sword in his right hand, and a long yellow sword light slashed towards the opposite side.
The thief soldiers who rushed to the front row in an instant were directly penetrated by the sword qi, and the huge impact brought by the sword qi shook them all upside down to the back row, and at the same time, the sword qi that penetrated the thief soldier's body continued to slash at the thief soldiers in the back, cutting through three rows of people in a row before disappearing.
At this time, the thieves who were knocked into the first row had not yet fallen, and the people in the last two rows had already fallen to the ground, and the thieves who were originally in the fourth row had now become the first row.
At this time, they who were standing at the front were directly paralyzed by Wang Yue's shocking sword, but the army charged like wild horses, not anyone who wanted to stop could stop, and they were forcibly pushed forward by the thieves who rushed from behind to continue to rush forward to kill.
Wang Yue released his true qi to kill people in a range of about ten steps in front of him, so these thieves couldn't get close to him at all, just saw that Wang Yue was just slashing left and right in the same place, and the thieves who were ten steps away were all killed by the sword qi, and after a while, Wang Yue's front of him was full of corpses, and the phalanx composed of one hundred and ten people who rushed to the front was all destroyed, but this could not stop the attack of the thieves, and there were still endless thieves behind him who stepped on the corpses and rushed towards him.
Wang Ping, who retreated to the rear, did not leave very far, he extinguished the torches around him and secretly climbed to the top of the guard tower to hide, at this time he was paying attention to the battle situation in front, when he saw that Wang Yue could kill the enemy ten steps away, he was also stunned and said to himself, "This true qi is really powerful, you can kill countless enemies without giving you a chance to get close at all, as long as you are not surrounded by heavy troops, you don't need to worry about the opponent's attack at all." ”
It's just that he was vaguely worried in his heart, whether the distance of ten steps could be maintained all the time, after all, any strength was exhausted, but after thinking about it, even if the distance was shortened, the master could still wander around and kill the lone thief, as long as he was not surrounded by the crowd, he could evacuate and escape at any time, who would be able to catch up with the master at that time.
After a stick of incense, the dead bodies in front of Wang Yue could be piled up, Wang Yue thought that this would slow down the speed of the thieves behind him, but those red-eyed thieves didn't care about the corpses of their companions at their feet, and trampled directly and roared and continued to rush in front of Wang Yue, and gradually this distance advantage really became smaller as Wang Ping thought, and the thieves were already able to approach the distance of five steps, and the true qi on Wang Yue's ancient sword seemed to be slightly darker.
Guo Yan has been watching the battle situation with the guards in the rear heights, when he found that Wang Yue's sword qi has darkened, he said to the guards beside him: "Wang Yue's true qi has become much weaker, now is a good opportunity to surround him, quickly pass me on the order to call the archers who did not rush to kill, or hide in the high place in the formation or go to the nearby guard tower to ambush, tell them that as long as the marksmen can shoot Wang Yue, they are not afraid of accidentally injuring their own people, and the rest of the archers form an army of eight hundred governors to be responsible for supervising the rear of the army, if I see a soldier who dares to retreat, I will shoot it on the spot." ”
Guo Yan also understood that if he didn't get rid of Wang Yue at this time, he would have to guard against his sneak attacks and assassinations every day after that, and he didn't want to become the second Li Wei.
In this time of incense, Wang Yue has been standing in place without moving, just urging the sword qi has killed more than 500 thieves, but when the thieves are close to the distance of five steps, the spear can almost touch Wang Yue's body, and the various phalanxes of the thieves will also form an encirclement of Wang Yue, Wang Yue knows that if he is trapped in the formation by the army, he can only fight to death, so he took advantage of the fact that the number of thieves behind him is not much, and suddenly exerts his strength to kill a wave of thieves in front of him, and then quickly swims to the left rear.
As soon as he retreated, a small group of thieves stepped forward to entangle, Wang Yue picked up a spear to urge the true qi to be distributed on the body of the gun, and threw it out fiercely at the thief soldiers who came forward, and the spear with dazzling light flew directly out of more than 30 zhang away, and the thieves where the spear passed were vibrated by the true qi, and the close ones were directly penetrated by the true qi and died, Wang Yue took advantage of the chaos of the formation here and quickly rushed out of the encirclement.
After a short period of conditioning, Wang Yue once again controlled the thief soldiers on the opposite side at a distance of seven or eight steps in front of him, and the various phalanxes of the thief soldiers continued to surround Wang Yue after regrouping, but every time Wang Yue killed a phalanx, he fled into the distance and did not give the army a chance to surround at all.
But the number of thieves is too much, Wang Yue's continuous release of true qi has made his body a little unbearable, at this time Wang Yue thought that after repelling this wave of thieves, he had to retreat to a distance to recuperate, because he felt that the meridians on the right side of his body were seriously damaged, and continuing to release true qi could cause huge internal injuries.
Although it is safe and fast to release the true qi to kill the enemy, the meridians and veins in the body have to bear the pressure of running the true qi for a long time.
To put it simply, the innate master can only concentrate the true qi on the body or weapon, and cannot directly release it to hurt the enemy, while the master of the divine realm can use the borrowed true qi from all things to launch it through weapons or fists and feet to kill.
It's just that the human body needs to be used as an intermediate medium, and when the body is constantly rushed in and out by the true qi, the meridians will be damaged, just like the indestructible diamond, which will also be polished off the edges and corners under the long-term washing of the water, not to mention the human body.
At this time, dozens of marksmen arranged by Guo Yan have been ambushed in the nearby high places, and they are secretly aiming at Wang Yue, the marksmen are powerful and use special strong bows, and the iron arrows shot are huge in damage and the speed is even faster, in the battlefield, I don't know how many heroes and generals are killed by the marksman's sneak attack, but it takes a lot of physical strength to pull this strong bow, so the average marksman in the army can shoot two to three arrows at most in a day.
At this time, when Wang Yue was killing the enemy with the sword qi here, he suddenly became alert, and a force rushed straight to his temple.
