Chapter Forty-Three: The Emergent Master
Nearly 100 carriages loaded with pig iron, escorted by 5,000 people, finally came to the entrance of Tianshui Stream.
The general was an old man in his fifties, with a golden helmet and silver armor and a shining long sword, and he waved his hand on his horse and signaled the army to stop.
This person is Lei Xian, a famous general in Hengzhou, who has been on the battlefield for many years and has made many achievements. The high-spirited young man next to him was Lei Xian's youngest son, Lei Zhen.
This time, Qi Zhentian sent the father and son to escort the pig iron, and now it seems that he is about to return to Hengzhou, as long as he crosses the Tianshui Stream, and then seventy miles ahead, there is even a Hengzhou garrison camp.
But for some reason, looking at the calm Tianshui stream in front of him, Lei Xian just felt that something was wrong, his back was cold, and his heart was panicked, it seemed that the waves were surging under this calm, and the undercurrent was surging, and a pair of eyes were staring at him coldly.
After all, Lei Zhen was young, his heart was buoyant, he looked at the Tianshui stream in front of him as calm as ever, and said: "Father, are you too careful? We have entered the territory of Hengzhou, and there is our garrison in front, who dares to attack us here?"
"Why did you stop?"
At this time, a carriage came up from behind, and a middle-aged man was sitting in the car, full of anger, opening the curtains, cranking the folding fan, and looking at the Lei family father and son in puzzlement.
This person's name is Qi Yang, although he was not born in the military world, but he is a relative of the emperor, and he is the uncle of Qi Zhentian, the lord of Hengzhou, and his cultivation is not low, and he is already the peak of the five grades of the Soul Realm.
This batch of pig iron is very important to Hengzhou, so Qi Zhentian asked his uncle to come forward and lead more than a dozen masters, so as to bring the pig iron back safely.
Qi Yang thinks very highly of himself, relying on his cultivation to be profound, and does not take anyone in his eyes, and along the way, nothing has happened, so when Lei Zhen said the reason to stop advancing, Qi Yang laughed loudly.
"General Lei, your courage is too small, you have arrived at the door of the house, who would dare to make a mistake? Listen to me, order the army to advance at full speed, and rest in the front camp. ”
"No, I can't. Lei Xian's face sank like water: "Rest here tonight, and pass through the Tianshui stream early tomorrow morning." ”
"What?" Qi Yang suddenly became angry: "Are you old and confused, there is our military camp in front of you, why do you still sleep in the wilderness......?
As he spoke, Qi Yang looked at Lei Zhen: "Order the army to advance, your father is willing to suffer here, let him suffer here." ”
"I am the military commander, who dares to call the shots without my orders?"
"I am the uncle of His Majesty today, do you dare not take me seriously?"
The two quarreled endlessly, and the situation intensified.
Lei Zhen hurriedly persuaded the two to leave, and then said: "Father, prince, let's do it, I'll take someone in to see the situation inside, and then we will decide whether to leave or stay." ”
This is indeed not a compromise solution, Lei Xian nodded: "Zhen'er, as long as you find anything wrong, come out immediately, and send someone to pick you up for your father." ”
Lei Zhen nodded, and then galloped with more than a dozen people and entered the Tianshui Stream.
In fact, he had the same thoughts as Qi Yang, feeling that his father was making a big fuss and being too careful. If someone really wanted to grab this batch of pig iron, they would have done it a long time ago, so why wait until now, it doesn't make sense at all.
So Lei Zhen didn't observe carefully at all, rode his horse all the way, and came back safe and sound in less than a stick of incense.
In this way, Lei Xian could not insist anymore, he still trusted his son very much, so he ordered the army to quickly pass through the Tianshui Stream and rush to the military camp seventy miles away to rest and recuperate.
Since then, 5,000 people have completely fallen into the trap of the lonely shadow and stepped into the ghost gate.
Seeing that the Hengzhou army finally came in, Lone Shadow couldn't help but get excited, as long as they fully entered the Tianshui Stream, Lone Shadow would put down the boulder, block the exits on both sides, and then slowly clean them up.
Qi Yang's carriage finally drove into the Tianshui Stream, and the old man in the blood crown immediately exclaimed: "Seize the peak of the five grades of the Spirit Realm." ”
Ye Ran was immediately taken aback, but he didn't expect that there was still a master hidden in the team of five thousand people, and he was the peak of the five grades of the Spirit Realm.
Seeing that the five thousand people and the carriage had entered the Tianshui Stream, Er Gazi stood up and shouted, "Brothers, let me kill these deflated calves." ”
Before the words fell, Lone Shadow had already launched a ferocious attack.
Boulders, rolling wood, arrows, smashed down, the clay pots filled with grease on both sides of the mountain road have also been lit by the torches that have been dropped, and the next moment, the explosions are heard one after another, and the flames rise to the sky, illuminating the entire Tianshui Stream.
In the face of the sudden and ferocious attack, the Hengzhou army was completely disorganized.
Especially the horses, frightened by the flying hooves, rampage, hundreds of pounds of pig iron in the carriage were directly thrown out, knocking down the soldiers one by one.
Wailing, screaming, roaring...... Tianshui Stream is a pillow of death and wounds, and the blood flows like a river, like purgatory.
Accompanied by a strong wind, heavy dark clouds swept in from afar, like a fierce roaring black dragon, silver lightning streaked across the sky, and in an instant, it was a downpour.
The rain is like a short line of beads, frantically poured into the pool, making the water level rise fiercely, and the trickle falls down the cliff, just a few breaths, the trickle widens dozens of times, like a piece of silver-white silk, flying straight down.
The two ends of the Tianshui stream have been sealed by boulders, so the water level has risen rapidly, and it has not reached the ankle in a short time.
"Brothers, rush down with me and kill them. ”
Ergazi shouted violently, carrying a long knife that Luo Fan had tailored for him, and smashed it down like a cannonball.
This long knife is completely made of black steel, which is a top-level casting material, and Ye Ran found three hundred catties from the ancient desert city, and gave them all to Ergazi at one time.
The blade was as black as ink, the back was thick and thin, and Er Gazi used all his strength to slash down, directly cutting several soldiers into two pieces.
Encouraged by this goods, Lone Shadow rushed down with a scream.
However, they did not lose their minds, but quickly assembled into two camps, and then from the middle of the Tianshui Stream, they began to rush to both sides, like two huge meat grinders, leaving stumps and broken arms all over the ground.
Seeing the lone shadow jumping down, Qi Yang finally made a move and rushed forward with a long sword.
Lei Xian hurriedly shouted: "Lord Wang, leave us alone, quickly find a way to rush out and report the news." ”
Qi Yang was stunned and felt that this was the case. Hengzhou is only a few dozen miles away from the nearest garrison here, which is only half an hour at most for cavalry and cavalry, as long as the reinforcements arrive, these people will not be worried.
Seeing that Qi Yang wanted to run, Ye Ran was really anxious, so he got up and chased after him. Wan Jin and Fifth Night hurriedly followed, blocking Qi Yang at the edge of the boulder.
Although Ye Ran has been training Lone Shadow for more than a month, he has not delayed his cultivation because of this, and now he is already a primary cultivator of the fifth grade of the Soul Devouring Realm, so he carried it and used the Nine Tricks Sword "Earth" word trick, and was the first to rush forward.
The word "earth" has been completely understood by Ye Ran, the swordsmanship is ever-changing, endless, and with the blessing of this peerless divine weapon, for a while, Ye Ran did not fall behind at all, and was on a par with Qi Yang, who was at the peak of the five grades of the Soul Realm.
Qi Yang was really a little panicked, he didn't seem to expect the young man in front of him to be so difficult, this thing wanted to break through several times, but was stopped by Ye Ran.
Seeing that Qi Yang was entangled, Lei Zhen began to organize people to break through, which exposed the shortcomings of Lone Shadow. If it was Ye Ran, he would definitely not choose to attack from the middle to both sides, in this case, someone would want to escape, and Lone Shadow would not have time to intercept and kill.
The correct way should be to rush from both sides to the middle, and at any time you can kill the person who wants to escape and report the news.
Luckily, Fifth Night and Wanjin arrived just in time to kill all those who tried to rush out.
