Chapter 145: Bloody Battle
Yanzikou, an ordinary valley, connects the north and the south, and at this moment, this place is a place to show its strength!
Whether it is whether the Cardinal Sect desperately wants to keep Zhao Yan and his party in Tianyu County, or Zhao Yan wants to show the strength of the imperial court here and completely deter the Cardinal Sect, in short, a big war is inevitable!
This was the first formal conflict between the Imperial Court and the Cardinals, and it was crucial for both sides.
The Xiao cavalry battalion took the lead, and the group rode on a tall horse, wearing black armor, which was obviously different from the black armor guard in terms of style, with a sense of oppression and majesty, with a devastating and decaying momentum.
And the people of the Red Sect were all located on the top of the valley, dressed in red, holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, in stark contrast to the uniform style of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and their eyes were full of murderous energy.
The two teams of red and black are in striking and stark contrast, and a sense of oppression arises spontaneously from the inside out.
Jiang Xiaoyu lifted the curtain and looked at everything in front of him, with such an aura, Zhao Ling really didn't lie to himself! It's just that in recent years, the imperial court has been too peaceful, and there are not many opportunities to really use the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, this kind of posture, I'm afraid that Zhao Ling himself will rarely see it!
Compared with the unified order of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion to deter everything, the Black Armor Guard is much freer, and the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is four times that of the Black Armor Guard, with 20,000 people, so Emperor Zhou can rest assured that the second prince will be in charge of the Black Armor Guard!
"Kill!" The shouting was enough to make the whole valley shake, and the people of the Xiao Riding Battalion pressed the helmet, and suddenly the black mask covered the entire face except for the eyes, like the death that took people's lives, in fact, more than ten years ago, the Xiao Riding Camp was synonymous with death, and wherever the Xiao Riding Camp passed, there was no piece of armor left!
It's just that Jiang Xiaoyu doesn't understand one thing, ten years ago, Emperor Zhou asked Qi Siyuan to lead people to ambush his grandfather's soldiers and horses, but he didn't let the Xiao cavalry battalion go out, if Emperor Zhou was really so jealous of his grandfather's rebellion, why didn't he send his most elite army? Unless he was also afraid of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, or left the Xiao Cavalry Camp around the capital to deter other possible dangers, if it was the latter case, who was the person Emperor Zhou was guarding against at that time?
"Kill!" There was another shout of killing, and at this moment the red-clothed men killed from the top of the valley.
And the cavalry battalion did not panic at all, and even the horses under him did not mess up the formation at all, only to see a general at the front waved his hand, and they took out the crossbow arrows in unison like a person, and then aimed them on three sides, only to see the commander put his hand down, and the feathered arrows flew out like rain.
The Xiao Cavalry Battalion was equipped with the most advanced and domineering weapons in the entire Great Zhou, and the power of these crossbow arrows was powerful, and the arrows that flew out pierced through the bodies of the red-clothed sect members who rushed down, and they could be fired in bursts, and a large area of red fell in an instant.
"The Xiao Cavalry Camp really lives up to its name!" Jiang Xiaoyu was shocked by the scene in front of him, if the black armor guard is the tacit cooperation between the various members, the mutual echo between various weapons, and the action with a sense of artistic beauty, then the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is to destroy all the sense of oppression under absolute unity, and give people a sense of invincible deterrence from the mind!
And the people of the Cardinal Sect who were sent to intercept and kill this time were by no means ordinary people, there were more than a thousand people in total, all of whom were armed with martial arts, and after the previous wave of attacks, they had already rushed forward.
The commander of the cavalry battalion waved his hand again, and this time they uniformly pulled off the saber on their bodies, this knife was still made of stainless steel, longer and thinner than ordinary sabers, and their bodies were glowing with cold light.
"Kill!" With the commander's order, the cavalry battalion rushed in all directions like a black tide, but the team of less than two hundred people had the momentum of thousands of troops.
The black tide rushed into the red ranks, and the two sides trembled at each other like two poisonous snakes of different colors. The momentum of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is fierce, whether it is armor or weapons, or the degree of tacit understanding with each other, it is higher than that of the Cardinal Sect, although the number is in the minority, it is not inferior at all.
The people of the Cardinal Sect are not vegetarians, among them are well-trained soldiers, rangers, or ordinary people, but they are all fierce people, and they are already powerful, and at this moment, they are like vicious wolves, biting their opponents and not letting go!
"The Xiao Cavalry Camp really lives up to its name!" Zhuang Hu exclaimed, "With this kind of combat power, why can't I worry about the four seas in Da Zhou?" ”
It's just that although the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is powerful, Bai Shan and Bai Mei are not happy, although the two are now traitors to the Cardinal Sect, but these Cardinal Sect people used to be their brothers and relatives, and they really don't want to see them used and slaughtered!
"If you want to take care of more people's lives, some sacrifices are inevitable!" Jiang Xiaoyu saw the thoughts of the two of them and persuaded, "Before the Cardinal Sect Master instigates more people, killing him may be the smallest sacrifice, but before killing him, all obstacles in front of him must be removed, including them!" ”
"I understand the truth, but I can't bear it, they used to be just a blood and a sincerity!" Bai Shan sighed.
The battle continues, and the blood continues to flow.
The excellent equipment of the cavalry battalion played a great role, and their casualties were extremely small, but the opponent was losing one after another.
Once again, the power of death has been confirmed.
There are no people in this world who are really not afraid of death, and they were shocked by the appearance of the Xiaocai Camp at the beginning, and now the powerful murderous aura they showed finally made them realize that what they did was just sending them to death!
Someone's consciousness collapsed and began to flee!
One person began to flee, and the people behind him fled together!
The cavalry battalion did not catch up, but closed the team to clean up the battlefield.
Two people were killed and seventeen wounded, in exchange for victory in this bloody battle.
It's just that no one will be happy, with a mountain full of corpses, they are all their own compatriots!
"Leave a couple and bury them!" Zhao Yan said, "The rest of you, let's move on!" ”
"Yes!"
"No matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to be the enemy of a country!" This battle also gave Bai Shan a great shock, "The sect leader will not succeed, it is impossible to succeed!" ”
"Over the years, the Great Zhou Dynasty has been in good weather, there is no place to spend money, and the treasury has too much money to use, so it is natural to try to improve the equipment of the army!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "The hard-hitting method is just to hit the stone with an egg, and for the imperial court, there is no deterrent at all!" ”
"Miss, do you really have a way to avenge the old general?" Bai Shan's eyes were full of uncertainty, perhaps the battle that had just been too different had shaken all the firm beliefs in her mind.
"I don't know if I can succeed, but I have to do my best!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "But this is a matter between me and the court no matter what, I don't want to involve a lot of people, and I don't want too many people to die because of my hatred!" ”
She got out of the carriage and looked at the corpses all over the mountain, these people may not be bad people, or in the words of the cardinal master, they can't judge bad people by their standards, but if you want to do something, you must step on their corpses. As the Cardinal Master said, there is no one in this world who is truly public, but everyone is moving forward for their own interests and the public welfare in their hearts.
As long as a few hundred more cavalry battalions are transferred, it is not a problem to flatten Tianyu County, but such casualties are not what Zhao Yan is willing to see, his opponent is not these deceived people, but the red-clothed sect leader himself.
"If I didn't want to deter the other party this time, let the people who want to join the Cardinal Sect see, let the people who want to cooperate with the Redcoat Sect see, and let those mercenary businessmen see, I don't want the Xiao Cavalry Battalion to get involved!" Zhao Yan sighed deeply, in the past, the butcher's knife was extended to the enemy army who tried to invade the country, and he was willing to use this method to treat the people?
"I still have to think of a way to capture the Cardinal Sect Master!" Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Yan stood side by side, "He is also an acquaintance of mine before, his name is Xiahou Sheng, and he is a friend of my uncle, but he was still young at that time, and he only saw him once or twice, and he was not very impressed, I don't know why he became what he is now, and I don't know why my little aunt is with him, thinking about it, there must have been a lot of things happening here!" Only by catching him will the truth be clear, he is the source of the whole thing, and only by catching him can it be regarded as a real solution! ”
"I've always felt something was wrong!" Wu Qian frowned and said, "I can't tell what is wrong, I always feel a little strange!" From the time I knew that the Cardinal Sect Leader had brought Tianyu County with great fanfare, I felt strange, have you ever thought about whether he can keep you is one thing, maybe his purpose is to attract you? ”
Zhao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said: "I don't care about the purpose of the red-clothed sect master, it doesn't matter what he wants to do next, we have only one purpose now, which is to pull him out completely!" ”
Of course, the matter of Yanzikou was also known to Xiahou Sheng for the first time, and he didn't seem to be very surprised by this result, but he waved his hand lightly, let the messenger leave, and instructed: "You don't need to let the holy woman know about this matter!" ”
"Yes!"
In fact, he had expected this result as early as when he knew that the people from the Xiao Cavalry Battalion had appeared at the mouth of the swallow, but in order to paralyze them, those sacrifices were inevitable.
"Where have the two incense masters arrived?" Xiahou Sheng asked.
"Still no news!"
Xiahou Sheng looked into the distance with his hands, and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "It seems that they can't come back, I underestimated them!" ”
"The sect leader used himself as bait to lure Zhao Yan over, he can't just waste it, do you want to send more people to intercept and kill Zhao Yan?" The subordinate asked.
