Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The drizzle is misty, and the river is vast. A flat boat sailed down the river from the upper reaches to Jingling in the lower reaches of the Han River.
Meng Xunzhen stood alone at the tail end of the boat, and did not need to carry the oars to make the rudder, but only circulated and rotated in the body, and the two qi of yin and yang that were constantly circulating and growing came out from the soles of his feet, and passed into the water through the hull, and stirred the flowing water from different angles to correct the direction of the boat's progress, so that the boat could turn freely in the river with nine bends and eighteen bends, and always drifted down with the water in the center of the river.
After a tortuous passage through Guò, the river in front of you suddenly opens up and the river bank becomes straight. On the wide river, there is a thick iron cable that crosses the left and right, cutting off the road of a boat on the river. More than 20 zhang behind the iron cable, there are two warships on the left and one on the right to control the center of the river, and the soldiers with guns and knives on the board, bows and crossbows are waiting for them, ready to attack the ships that dare to break through at any time.
Looking at the Hengjiang Iron Rope in front of him, Meng Xunzhen held the hilt of the Xuantie Heavy Sword behind him with his backhand, and at the same time introduced a thick and incomparable pure true qi into the water. Under the agitation of this great force, the bow of the boat jerked upward, and the whole ship slammed into the iron cable in front of it like a huge arrow shot out of the string.
At this moment, the soldiers on the two warships belonging to the Jianghuai Army also saw that the actions of this lonely boat were tantamount to suicide, and they were dumbfounded one by one, and they didn't know why. I wondered if the people on the boat were crazy and stupid enough to use such a toy-like boat to ram the impregnable barrage.
In an instant, Meng Xunzhen's boat was less than three feet away from the iron cable. He let out a spring thunderous cry from his mouth, and his body shot out at a speed of three points faster than the boat under his feet, and the dark iron heavy sword on his back also fell into his palm at the same time. Being in the air, Meng Xunzhen's eyes firmly locked on the middle of the iron cable, and stabbed the iron sword in his hand slowly and straight. It is one of the two major sword styles he created, "Desert Lonely Smoke Straight". His sword was originally extremely slow, but because of the rapid forward sweep of his body, the actual degree of this sword was as fast as lightning, and he was able to knead the two extremely contradictory sword postures of extremely fast and extremely full in one sword, which showed that his kendo cultivation had made another breakthrough.
The tip of the blunt, round, and bladeless Darkiron Heavy Sword stabbed the iron rope that he locked onto with his gaze. The man, the sword, and the iron rope all stood still at the same time for a brief moment that was imperceptible to others. Immediately, the stabbed iron rope made a soft "wave". The ground exploded into a cloud of iron filings as fine as the end. When the disconnected iron cable fell into the river left and right, Meng Xunzhen's body, which had exhausted the momentum of the forward sweep, fell, but the small boat happened to come under him.
Meng Xunzhen steadily fell back to the place where the stern had stood, and once again urged the boat to rush through the gap between the two Jianghuai warships.
"Shoot the arrows!" All the people on the two warships were stunned by Meng Xunzhen's strong strength with a broken sword, and it was the two leaders of the Jianghuai Army who came to their senses first, and each let out a hoarse shout. The soldiers on board woke up from a dream. The crossbowman opened his bow and opened the crossbow, and the dense feather arrows and crossbows were like flying locusts and raindrops, with a breathtaking sharp whistling sound to shoot at Meng Xunzhen who came from the imperial boat.
Meng Xunzhen was not in a hurry, his feet stood firmly on the board, and a powerful and incomparable true qi stirred the current, urging the small boat that was speeding like an arrow by three points. Leaving most of the arrows behind him, he raised the Xuantie heavy sword at the same time, drawing a circle with a diameter of five feet out of thin air in front of him, and the two qi of yin and yang came out through the sword, blending with each other, forming an invisible qi shield that was both rigid and soft. The remaining small number of arrows were shot at the air shield, and the power was first dissolved by a heavy feminine force. Then he was shocked by a heavy masculine force and flew back in reverse, injuring more than ten Jianghuai soldiers on the two ships.
The distance of more than 20 zhang, in terms of Meng Xunzhen's sailing degree, is only a few breaths of time. Before the Jianghuai army on the two warships could shoot a second round of arrows, he had already urged the boat to pass by the two ships, and after a few breaths, he left the two boats and the Jianghuai army's angry shouting and scolding far behind.
The waterway in front of him became tortuous again, and Meng Xunzhen was on the boat. One side looked at the two sides of the strait. In the field of vision, there is no scorched earth and smoke everywhere, except for a few military camps of the Jianghuai Army, there is no longer half a figure of activity, which shows the fierceness of the war. Witnessing such a tragic scene, Meng Xun couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart.
The boat turned a corner and re-entered a straight waterway. Directly ahead, the city of Jingling has been impressive. Just on the wide river. More than 30 large warships were displayed in a dense formation, blocking the way forward. The flags on the ship are unfurled, and the swords and halberds are like a forest.
Although Meng Xunzhen was quite confident in his martial arts, he didn't think that he could really defeat thousands of troops. He couldn't help but regret slightly, sneaking the double eagle away from his side. If the double eagle is still beside him, why is it so troublesome to enter the tomb?
The Jianghuai army fleet obviously also saw Meng Xunzhen, although they didn't understand how this small boat came here through the Guò barrage and the blockade of the two warships, but seeing that he didn't say hello, he rushed straight towards his own ship formation, and people could guess that the ship was friend or foe. With the orders of the leaders of the Jianghuai army on each ship, the soldiers on the deck rushed back and forth, lined up on the side of the ship near Meng Xunzhen, bowed and unsheathed, and several trebuchets were ready to wait, just waiting for the small and thin boat as small as a reed leaf but daring to hit the stone with an egg, and then crushed it into powder with a thunderous force.
Seeing this, Meng Xunzhen took off the dragon tooth flute hanging from his waist. ......As if to bring all the air from heaven and earth into his lungs, he took a long breath and stopped until his chest was visibly bulging. At the moment when the boat was about to enter the enemy's attack range, he brought the dragon tooth flute to his lips and blew it with all his strength. "Squeak-" A sharp roar without any rhythm pierced the ears of everyone within a radius of a hundred feet, like countless invisible steel needles. All the officers and men of the entire Jianghuai fleet felt a sharp pain in their ears, and then they seemed to have been forced to earn hundreds of circles on the spot, and the Venus was in front of them, and they staggered like drunken wine, and many of them had already fallen.
"Demon Law!" This thought crossed the minds of many Jianghuai soldiers. Due to the limitations of the times, they naturally did not know that there was a nerve terminal organ called "vestibule" in the human ear. This organ is responsible for the balance of the human body, and once stimulated, people will produce symptoms such as dizziness and nausea, such as motion sickness and seasickness.
Just when all the warships of the Jianghuai Army were in chaos, the small boat controlled by Meng Xunzhen with his true qi was like a swift and swift flying swallow flying close to the water, breaking into the Jianghuai Army fleet, turning left and right, and in the blink of an eye, it passed lightly through the gaps of the huge ships. By the time the Jianghuai army on the boat returned to normal, he had already gone far away in a boat.
The boat sailed along the river and rushed through the waves, and it didn't take long to arrive at the wharf not far from the gate of Jingling. Meng Xunzhen leaped deep, abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, his body unfolded, and flew towards the direction of the city gate like a bird.
Suddenly, I heard only people on both sides shouting about horses neighing and hooves like thunder. Meng Xunzhen turned his head to look and saw that in the Jianghuai Army Zhai, one on the left and one on the right, there was a team of cavalry roaring out and attacking himself in the middle.
There is a distance of hundreds of zhang between the wharf and the gate of Jingling, and they are all flat rivers, which are the most conducive to cavalry charge. Meng Xunzhen knew that he couldn't get rid of the pursuers before entering the city, so he simply stopped and stood on the ground waiting for the cavalry of the Federation on both sides to approach.
"Kill!" The two teams of men and horses rushed to within thirty steps of Meng Xunzhen's side almost in no particular order, accompanied by the raised broadswords and the sound of killing, the faces of these Jianghuai soldiers, who were mostly from the green forest bandits, all had bloodthirsty smiles on their faces. They seemed to have seen the tragic scene of Meng Xunzhen, who was alone in the middle, first being torn apart by a knife, and then trampled by iron hooves, and his flesh and bones turned into mud.
Meng Xunzhen suddenly brought the dragon tooth flute to his lips again, and puffed up his true qi to blow it with all his might. This time, the dragon's tooth flute made a strange sound. But the two groups of cavalry that had rushed to the front suddenly changed, and all the horses seemed to be greatly frightened or stimulated, and without exception they were frenzied, and rushed around frantically. For a time, the two teams of cavalry turned on their backs, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
Taking advantage of this chaos, Meng Xunzhen put away the dragon tooth flute, unfolded his body again, and flew in the direction of Jingling, while walking quickly, he sighed in his heart at the wonder of this martial arts world - with the assistance of true qi, he could use the dragon tooth flute to produce infrasound, and easily disintegrated the two teams of elite cavalry.
After a short time, they arrived at the city gate, and the defenders in the city were looking far away, and they had already seen Meng Xunzhen break through. Especially seeing that he didn't know what means to use to defeat the cavalry of the Jianghuai Army, he was so real that he saw dozens of horsemen and horses colliding with each other and trampling on each other, breaking his neck and breaking his neck, and died tragically on the spot, so he naturally determined that Meng Xun was really a friend and not an enemy. Therefore, Meng Xunzhen was allowed to approach the city gate without being greeted with bows and arrows and trebuchets. It's just that when the identity of the person is unknown, it is inconvenient to open the door immediately and let the person into the city.
"Who is Your Excellency? What is the reason for coming to Ejingling? A veteran in his sixties in the city leaned out of the battlement and asked the city, in a very polite tone.
Meng Xunzhen stood by the moat, like arching his hand in the city: "In the lower Meng Xunzhen, he is a guest of Pegasus Ranch." On the order of the owner of the shopping mall, he came to meet the owner of the village to discuss important matters. The letter and identity token of the existing owner are here, please check it by the old general. ”
After that, he took out the bronze medal and a letter representing his identity as a guest of Pegasus Ranch, and threw it towards the city. The bronze medal is heavy, but the fluttering letter actually flew more than ten feet under his casual throw, and the bronze medal fell steadily in the hands of the veteran in the city.
