33. Shake the light guard
"Click"
The crisp sound sounded in the chaotic battle array, and at the moment it sounded, it was like a drop of water, splashing into the surrounding shouting and killing sounds, without a trace of waves.
But it means that a master who has practiced martial arts for many years is coming to an end of his life at this moment.
At the side of the tent that was set ablaze by the fire arrows, in the midst of the chaotic fighting accompanied by the flames, flying and burning, the master of the Tongwu Sect covered in ice armor was smashing to the ground in a tumbling position.
The ice armor spawned by the cold pool was not able to protect his spine and abdomen.
In the quick slash of less than a second of drawing the knife, the sharp blade of the greedy wolf knife was like tissue paper cutting through the flesh, and it did not bring out any lacerations, but only left a faint wound on the cold body.
Not even much blood came out.
But it took a human life.
Shen Qiu shook off the blood droplets on the blade, and without stopping a step, he got up and flew again, and the cold light lit up in mid-air once, slashing a sneak attack Five Elements Gate killer in the air.
He fell to the ground, and one of the soldiers was slashed down, startling the soldiers of the northern dynasty around him to turn their heads in unison.
As soon as the leader of the Northern Dynasty Colonel pulled out a third of his waist knife, his neck, and even the words of battle he was about to shout, were cut off with a knife.
This knife comes out casually, but if the dragon goes out to sea, the blade is fast, the angle of the knife is extremely perfect, and even the belt meat is cut together, just like the blade entering the water, without a trace of condensation.
It's a pity that there are no martial arts masters from the Southern or Northern Dynasties here.
Naturally, no one knew how exquisite Shen Qiu's casual knife was.
"Click"
The greedy wolf knife is classified into the knife box behind the back.
Shen Qiu stood beside the headless corpse, and at that moment just now, under the gaze of more than a dozen Northern Dynasty soldiers, he crossed over like a ghost and cut off the head of their captain.
There was not a single trace of blood flowing from the severed neck, only the cold ice froze the wound.
After the headless corpse smashed to the ground, those Northern Dynasty soldiers woke up from a dream, they held knives and guns, and forced them from all directions, but they didn't look at them when they saw Shen Qiu.
Instead, from your left shoulder, remove the long cloth bag that you carry behind your back.
"Shh
He held the long cloth bag, turned around, and in this corner of the battlefield, he made a silent gesture to the fearful Northern Dynasties behind him.
With a black hat, you can't see your face.
But by the light of the burning fire in a lighted warehouse not far away, the soldiers could faintly see the strange beard on the man's chin.
"Run."
Shen Qiu shook the blade in his hand, and in the weird hissing, the eight-foot bright silver spear tore through the cloth bag, bringing a trace of cold light, like a cold star under the moon, spinning in Shen Qiu's palm for a circle, and was held tightly by him.
"Don't go south, there are mountain ghosts over there, hunting you, it's terrifying."
It's like a reminder.
He said casually, like a grudge, but with a spear, he lit his toes, jumped up, and swept towards the place where the chaos originated in the hundreds of zhang barracks.
Just as he came, he went without warning.
If it weren't for the headless body of the ground captain, the soldiers would have regarded this scene as if it were a dream.
But Shen Qiu is real.
It was really like a bright silver spear piercing into the armor, and with the twist of his fingers, the Hundred Birds Chaofeng spear pierced through the back of the neck of one of the lieutenants, and with the splash of blood, it pierced through the front throat of the lieutenant.
The delicate red tassels flew, spilling the hot blood all around, and in the rapid rotation of the gun, Shen Qiu buckled the tail of the gun, and swept out like a long whip, sweeping the deputy general and several captains around him off the horse.
"Ahead is the Tiance Army?"
Shen Qiu landed on the saddle of the mighty Northland War Horse, and the loyal horse wanted to throw him off, but he was provoked by Shuoxue's cold air, and the anxious horse calmed down.
This terrible two-legged beast behind it, it can't be provoked.
But Shen Qiu's question was not answered by the red-clothed soldiers fighting in front of him.
They didn't even need Shen Qiu's assistance.
Under the command of a white-haired veteran armed with a Xuanhua axe, these 3,000 Tiance troops formed eight detachments, three defended, and five raided, taking turns to change.
At every moment, at least three cavalry troops, like a rapidly spinning saw wheel, tore apart the pieces of the northern army in front of them, which was responsible for defense.
In this era, this kind of difficult, sophisticated tactical coordination.
If it is not a strong army in the world, it is impossible to do it.
The axe-wielding veteran who commanded in the center also had no battlefield communications to use.
He rode on a horse, relying on four of his own soldiers, with several torches of different shapes, to command the cavalry under his command.
Relying on this precise conversion, rest, and counterattack, this cavalry of 3,000 people, since coming ashore, has smashed the three lines of defense of the northern army, and has not only perfectly completed the shock order given to them by the king of Huainan.
Even at the same time as the night attack of the 30,000 soldiers of the front army, it also served as a sharp knife in the rear, directly inserting into the henchmen of the northern army.
"Ahead is the Tiance Army?"
Shen Qiu asked again, but still no one answered.
He simply didn't ask.
Lifting the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear, he entered the position of the Northern Army from the other side, and at the same time activated the treasure soldiers, and the murderous battle array took Shen Qiu as the center and wrapped around the cavalry of the Tiance Army closest to him.
The knights were also surprised, but the powerful effect of the murderous aura made it easier for them to split the enemy formation.
Like a fiery blade, it pierced straight into the ice.
But it has brought about unexpected changes.
With the help of Shen Qiu, this cavalry killed too quickly, and as a result, it was disconnected from the two covering knights in the rear, and the phalanx, which was originally functioning normally, appeared a trace of incongruity.
The white-bearded veteran was so angry that he had to temporarily transfer his personal guards up, which blocked the gap for the Northern Dynasties to escape.
"You! Hey, that's you! ”
A lieutenant with a flag on his back rushed over, pointed at Shen Qiu, who was carrying a gun, and shouted:
"Good man, the general told you to come over, so that you don't make trouble here with that broken gun! Come with me. ”
After speaking, the captain turned his horse's head and walked towards the main formation, Shen Qiu was a little puzzled, in the past, which army didn't want a hundred birds and a phoenix spear?
How did this get to the side of the Tiance Army, and they didn't want it?
That's not right.
The two brothers, Li Weiguo and Li Baoguo, are very greedy.
But the veteran is invited, and Shen Qiu can't refuse.
He rode his horse and grabbed his gun and rushed into the camp, and when he got closer, he heard the old general curse in a deep voice:
"Where's the little bunny! Messing around in front of the old man with a broken gun? What is your name, young man, and what is your name? Can you have a teacher?
Are you interested in betraying the division and joining my Tiance army?
The old man gave you a lieutenant, okay? ”
This amused Shen Qiu.
He grabbed the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear, arched his hand to the white-haired veteran in front of him, and said loudly:
"General Xie raises love! But Shen is used to probauchery, and he can't stand the constraints of military law, so the general will come with me! The King of Huainan is about to enter the enemy camp and needs assistance. ”
"Zhao Biao, Zhao Lian is not dead, what does it have to do with the old man?"
When the old general heard Shen Qiu calling himself "Shen", he observed his figure again, and he had a realization in his heart.
He disagreed, said something that could be called a great rebellion in the Southern Dynasty, and beckoned to Shen Qiu again, under the battle helmet, a smile appeared on his face, and said:
"The old man's eyes are not very good, come here, let the old man take a good look at you, the old man wants to see, the road is unruly, he has been incognito for more than ten years, what kind of disciple have he found for himself."
Hearing this, Shen Qiu immediately narrowed his eyes.
He rode his horse a few steps forward, and by the light of the torches, observed the pattern of the old man's armor and the great axe in his hand, and after a few breaths, he asked in a suspicious tone:
"Your Excellency, could it be the commander of the Tiance Army, General Li Shouguo?"
"The old man will not change his name, and he will not change his surname!"
The veteran smiled, threw the big axe in his hand to the guards beside him, and learned from the appearance of the Jianghu people, hugged his fist at Shen Qiu, and said:
"It's Li Shouguo who is also.
How? When Lu Bujian was alive, he told you what the old man looked like? Instantly recognizable to you. ”
"Not really."
Shen Qiu said truthfully:
"Master never mentioned his experience in the army, I only heard about Master's past from the old people after his death, and as for the characteristics of the great general, it was Ren Hao Alliance Master who told me."
"Oh, Ren Hao's baby."
Li Shouguo touched his beard, nodded, and said:
"There have been many heroes in my Tiance Army, but what Ren Hao'er has done in his life is also one of the best in my Tiance Army, and he is worthy of being a good man in my Tiance Army.
You too, Shen Qiu.
Although you are not my descendant of the Tiance Army, your master is!
His broken axe was taught by the old man, so you can be regarded as the old man's apprentice. ”
The old general said a few words, and seeing the collapse of the northern army in front of him, he waved his hand, and the guards who were protecting him immediately stepped forward and joined the pursuit.
After more than ten breaths, only Li Shouguo and Shen Qiu were left in this place.
This army can really be called a prohibition.
Li Shouguo gave an order, saying that if there were no people around, there would really be no one left. Aren't they afraid that Shen Qiu is a spy of the Northern Dynasty and wants to assassinate Li Shouguo?
"Shen Qiu, tell me honestly, is your junior sister the last princess of my Great Chu?"
Just as Shen Qiu was thinking, Li Shouguo suddenly asked.
There was no smile on the old general's face, but a touch of extreme seriousness, and his self-proclaimed name was also very interesting.
"I'm Da Chu?"
Shen Qiu repeated these three words, he pursed his lips, and said to Li Shouguo:
"General, it has been twenty-five years since the Great Chu was destroyed, and you and your Tiance Army are now both courtiers of the Southern Dynasty."
"Fart!"
Li Shouguo whipped over with a horse, Shen Qiu didn't hide, let the whip fall on his body, hit the ice armor on his arm, there was no pain at all, the old man was a little irritable and shouted to Shen Qiu in a low voice:
"Not everyone is as wolf-hearted as Zhao Hu's guy!
You are an unruly disciple of the road, so you naturally know that when the old man asked him to go to Lin'an to pick up the young emperor and move to Guanzhong, he wanted to make my Great Chu rise again!
But Zhao Hu took the lead and made the current situation. The old man has been waiting for more than ten years for the descendants of Da Chu!
The old man came to Jinling in person this time, either for its Southern Dynasty, or for you! ”
Li Shouguo said in a deep voice:
"Tell me honestly, Fan Qingqing, is it the princess of Dachu!"
"Why don't you ask the other person?"
Shen Qiu asked rhetorically.
Li Shouguo sneered and said:
"Little baby, give the old man a heart!
You go and ask the mustard monk yourself, has the old man asked him, he himself died of his wife, all thoughts were lost, he escaped into the empty door, ate fasting and chanted Buddha all day long, became an incompetent waste, and no longer went to manage the country and the world.
The monarch is bent on escaping, and the old man is a general, what can he do? ”
As soon as he said this, Shen Qiu believed it in his heart.
Now that he knows the identity of the mustard seed monk, the general Li Shouguo in front of him should be truly loyal to Da Chu.
Shen Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, and he said:
"Yes and what?"
"Good."
Li Shouguo nodded with satisfaction, Lao Huai breathed a sigh of relief, he took out a tiger-shaped square seal from his pocket, threw it to Shen Qiu, and said:
"This is the tiger talisman of Shaking Guangwei, the last Great Chu forbidden army of 3,000 people, and the old man gave it back to Qingqing as a gift to the princess. I asked about this today, and within two years, I will bring Qingqing to Guanzhong.
The old man still has a question, he wants to ask her personally. ”
After speaking, as soon as Li Shouguo pulled the reins of the horse, he was about to turn around and leave, as if he really threw his strong army of 3,000 people to Shen Qiu, and didn't care about it anymore.
"Wait, General."
Shen Qiu called out, and he said:
"Shen doesn't understand military affairs, and asks the general to continue to command this Shaguangwei, in addition, Shen wants to ask, is the general really so unconfident in the south?"
"The Zhao family?"
Li Shouguo had a strange smile on his face, he did not hide his disdain and ridicule at all, he said:
"In Zhao Hu's family, Zhao Lian has some ability, but he is also as old as the old man, and he is not useful.
Zhao Biao is just a middle-aged person, and he is also infected with the rotten problem of asking for immortals, as for Zhao Hu himself, he is even more a waste, if it is not limited by the time situation, which round will he get the usurper of the country?
If you do too much injustice, you will be punished by God, you look at the current inheritance of the Zhao family, and ask the old man what he is doing?
The old man will tell you clearly, if Fan Bianmo is a little bit more active and a little responsible, twenty years ago, my Tiance Army would have redefined the world with him, where would he still have Zhao Hu?
The southern kingdom is destroyed, better! ”
Li Shouguo said coldly:
"Just let the Qingqing princess take advantage of the trend, sweep away the dust of the north and south, the right and wrong of the world, and regain my great Chu, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains."
"But my master... It seems that he doesn't trust the general much. ”
Shen Qiu said softly:
"Otherwise, he has lived in seclusion with Qingqing for more than ten years, why don't he go to the general?"
"That's why the old man asked you to bring the princess over after two years."
Li Shouguo said:
"In the Tiance Army, over the years, the eyes of various forces have been filled, and the old man has kept them, so as not to alarm the Quartet. This time I went back, just from top to bottom, and cleaned up well.
And, Shen Qiu, instead of doubting your master, you should take the time to think about that question, the question you've been ignoring. ”
The old general looked at Shen Qiu, and he said faintly;
"Why is your master so good, suddenly he was confused and went to Taihang Mountain to dig up some immortal relics... Who revealed that news to him?
Have you ever thought about this question? ”
Shen Qiu narrowed his eyes, and Li Shouguo continued:
The old man asked a little deeper.
Was the fire in Lin'an Palace really set by Zhao Hu?
Did he, Zhao Hu, have the courage back then?
The Great Chu Dynasty has been in the world for 300 years, and it has always been a country and a peaceful country, why did it suddenly fall apart in a few months?
Why did the Great Chu Kingdom annihilate happen just after the Demon Sect advocated Mo Xie and obtained the immortal fate since Taixing?
Shen Qiu.
If you really figured it out, you wouldn't have asked the old man why he hadn't looked for your master and Qingqing for more than ten years. ”
"Penglai?"
Shen Qiu asked rhetorically.
This answer was somewhat beyond Li Shouguo's expectations, and he was surprised that he actually twisted a few beards.
This time, he looked at Shen Qiu with an indescribable expression, and after a few breaths, a heartfelt smile appeared on his old face, and he said softly:
"Well, it's really as Wei Guowa said, you are a child, you can really be taught."
