Chapter 588: Onslaught (8)
He said a cruel word, I thought he was going to fight hard, but I didn't expect him to turn around and run away.
I was stunned for a moment, and then I chased after him, how could I let him run away after cooking the duck?
The Qi energy under my feet surged out, and I raised the speed to the fastest, and the small crossbow I carried with me was an arrow.
Cao Tiankun was startled, and immediately jumped to the side to dodge, and I took the opportunity to chase a few steps to the head is a knife.
Cao Tiankun had to turn around again to defend, and his momentum weakened suddenly.
Once one of the two sides of the battle has the intention of fleeing, that anger will be discharged, and if it cannot escape, it is often a big defeat and loss.
This is a typical mood effect, the person who runs away is not only angry, but also has no desire to win, and his actions are often hesitant and trembling.
I want him to die with a knife, Cao Tiankun is angry and anxious, but he can't get out, and he is in danger.
"Whoosh!"
The heavy knife phantom was heavy, and it slashed at Cao Tiankun's head, but he hurriedly dodged but it was a little bit worse, and a piece of his bare head was cut off.
He was so frightened that he crawled and crawled, and in a hurry, he threw a handful of ashes at me, although he did it, but the effect was good.
I was almost blinded, and I couldn't help but move several beats slower. But when Cao Tiankun saw this, he didn't have any intention of fighting with me at all, and turned around and ran away again.
I was extremely disappointed in him, seeing that he was tall and fierce, I thought he was a ruthless character, but I didn't expect to be so desperate.
Even though he was injured, after all, he still had the strength to fight, as long as he caught my flaws, it was not impossible to turn the tables, but he had no courage.
Without saying a word, I lifted my crossbow and pointed another arrow at his back; This hand crossbow is a one-handed crossbow that is small but very powerful. Cao Tiankun had already prepared this time, and the moment the bowstring vibrate, he rolled to the side without too much interference.
I'm a little anxious, my speed is not faster than him, there is only one arrow left in the crossbow, and he is running towards the side of the Golden Armor Corpse Battlefield, if he doesn't stop it, he will probably run away.
"Whew!"
At this moment, accompanied by a high-pitched eagle roar in the sky, a black shadow pounced on Cao Tiankun at an extremely fast speed.
I'm overjoyed, it's a colorful eagle!!
Cao Tiankun couldn't reach it and was thrown to the ground.
"Die!" I immediately seized the opportunity and slashed at him.
This bastard is not only a spy, but also assisted the corpse gate to catch boys and girls in the eastern Sichuan region and send them to the corpse gate, and did all the evil things. Zhou Jianbing once told me that Cao Tiankun often sent people to orphanages and other welfare institutions; I thought it was a good deed, but now it looks like it's completely heinous!
The heavy knife slashed down, Cao Tiankun hurriedly rolled to the side, and I immediately mended the knife, and one knife was better than another. Rainbow Eagle and I joined forces to sneak up on him, and the sharp talons kept scratching at his vital points.
Cao Tiankun tried his best to block it, but he couldn't reverse the situation at all, but became more and more dangerous.
"Boom!"
Finally, the heavy knife broke through the air and roared, and the mace in his hand was knocked away by the heavy knife.
I took advantage of the situation and slashed again.
Cao Tiankun's soul was in a hurry, it was too late to avoid it, he was chopped out with a scream, and fell to the ground next to him, blood spurted wildly, and he stretched out his legs a few times, and lost his breath.
I breathed a sigh of relief, this person's combat awareness and combat experience are good, but unfortunately he is too desperate for his life, and he doesn't have enough thoughts in the face of adversity.
In a word, the mood is not stable enough. He seems to be a strong man on the surface, but in fact his mood is very weak.
Miao Miao once told me that the hundred-year path is a watershed, not only the strength of Qi energy, but also the mysterious state of mind. The two must complement each other and are indispensable.
……
Kill Cao Tiankun, I immediately went to help Brother Gua, he fell in love with a character who was even more difficult than Cao Tiankun, I don't know, he is a man in black.
Brother Gua was originally suppressed by him, but after I and the colorful eagle joined, the situation immediately reversed, and the person who was killed retreated, and it didn't take long for him to be stabbed by Brother Gua, and he was simple enough, and he ran away in a flash, and the speed was very fast, and he couldn't catch up.
Helplessly, Gua Ge and I deserve to help others and strive to break the deadlock.
Soon, another big eye was knocked away, or simply killed, and more and more of our victorious personnel snowballed.
The battle between me and Cao Tiankun became a straw in the scales, tilting the scales towards us, and they were getting more and more tilted, and the dominoes began to fall.
A few minutes later, the big eyes of the corpse gate collapsed, and we took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, chased them into the second eye pile, joined in the group fight, and pushed a domino again.
The second head was also defeated, and the three heads of both sides were affected, Aunt Hong was like a rainbow, and she killed a corpse gate head with a sword, instantly balancing the originally very difficult scene.
Let's just join in a group, one or two help doesn't work, then seven or eight go together, interfere with the hand crossbow, and sneak attack with dust powder.
Singled out the corpse controller who controlled the golden armor corpse and beat him to death.
In the end, a domino in the back left also fell, and the corpse gate master group was defeated and retreated, more than half of them were killed and captured, and the three generals died and escaped.
It was Fan Sangu who escaped, one of the other two heads was killed, one was injured and desperately killed a sub-head of Miao Village and a big eye of the Miao family.
The rest of the secondary and large eyes were killed and wounded, and some of them escaped, and the golden armor corpse lost its body control and stood in place.
After the victory, we rushed back, because there were still many iron-armored corpses and silver-armored corpses in the valley, and the underlying forces of the Miao family and Miao Village were under great pressure, far less smooth than ours, and there were many casualties.
With the addition of our big goals, one by one, the silver armor corpses were removed, and their pressure was reduced, and they launched a counterattack to continuously exterminate the iron armor corpses.
By the time the dust settled, half an hour had passed! After a glance at the victory, which was still worth celebrating, half of the joy suddenly dissipated.
Corpses in one place, blood stained this canyon red, and the ground was in shambles!
I found Poison Butterfly and Fat Man in the chaotic battlefield, both of them hung up, Fat Man was poked in the butt, and Poison Butterfly was scratched on the arm.
Even I was caught, but fortunately, I reacted quickly, but my clothes were scratched, and I was not injured.
"How?" I examine the arm of the poisonous butterfly.
The poisonous butterfly pursed its mouth, shook its head slightly, and said, "I'm fine, it's just a flesh wound, just apply some medicine." ”
I nodded, and bandaged her with some medicine.
The fat man looked at it and said, "Haruko, I'm also injured, come and help me bandage!" ”
"You have thick meat, you can't die!" I scolded him angrily.
"Heavy color and light friends have no righteousness!" The fat man gritted his teeth angrily, but was soon dragged by the pharmacist to inspect the wound wash.
It didn't take long for the statistics to come out, shocking.
The ordinary people at the bottom of the door have been reduced by one-third, and the small ones are about the same number, and the big ones have been reduced by one-fifth, and many people are seriously injured.
Some small teams have disappeared from the entire organization, and none of them have survived.
The leather-clothed guest came, saying that Biluo Valley also suffered a lot of losses, nine of the thirty small eyes were killed and seven were injured, and the number of casualties was close to half, and the casualties at the bottom were slightly lighter, but they also reached a quarter.
I was trembling in distress, this is my family's background, there are so many dead and wounded, I don't know where to replenish.
The casualties in Miao Village were slightly more serious, and a considerable number of them were Gu masters, and they were helpless in the face of invulnerable armor corpses. Moreover, the fierce battle came too suddenly, and their Gu Master was too far ahead.
Then, Xu Ye and Xu Dashan would only be in the Miao family, and the poisonous butterfly would only be in the Miao Village, and they all began to downsize, transport the wounded to the rear, replenish some of their strength, and order a temporary rest.
Aunt Hong and Long Ji convened a group of core discussions, Aunt Hong said: "We have suffered heavy losses in this battle, but the losses of the corpse gate are even heavier, their silver armor corpses and iron armor corpses should have been consumed, there are still seven gold armor corpses left, the big eyes and secondary eyes have been damaged by nearly seventy percent, and the five major district heads have two dead and one wounded, more than half of the losses have been lost, and only two of our personnel above the secondary level have been killed or wounded." ”
"The corpse gate is completely broken this time." Guagodao.
Miao Zhai nodded and said, "Even if you stop here, you won't have the power to attack again in three or five years." ”
"So what do we do next? Kill it in one go? "Someone asked.
The poisonous butterfly shook his head and said: "No, although the corpse gate is broken, it is definitely not the time to die, the remaining heads and elders are very strong, and the most important thing is that they still have seven golden armor corpses, which should not be underestimated!" ”
Everyone frowned slightly, and they all looked at Aunt Hong and Long Ji, so that they could make a decision.
"The reinforcements from behind arrived in three hours, and we defended on the spot and waited for dawn." Aunt Hong said, and said: "First, to replenish the consumed personnel and materials, and second, to wait for the information from the corpse gate, the state of the corpse king is very important, and you can't move blindly." ”
The poisonous butterfly nodded, and everyone looked at Long Ji, the leader of Miao Village.
Ryuji nodded, indicating no objection. Then they discussed some other issues, and went their separate ways.
I sat with the poisonous butterfly on a suspended log, and Brother Gua and they walked away very "interestingly".
Taking a breath of the air with a faint smell of blood, I sighed and said with emotion: "I hope that the end of this battle can completely restore peace to the east and southwest, and too many people have died in the battle during this time." ”
This battle is just a fierce concentrated frontal conflict, in fact, in normal times, the two alliances and the corpse gate are constantly fighting, people die every day, and the struggle of the intelligence and reconnaissance system is even more intense.
I didn't know much about it before, but when I learned more about it last time, I knew the blood.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the soldiers of the iron-clad battalion are flowing water.
The poisonous butterfly kicked her calf, looked at me very seriously, and said, "Actually, our three families in the southwest were originally one family, and now this situation can be said to be cannibalism." ”
I raised my eyebrows, I had heard this before, but I didn't know it. But one thing is true, that is, the largest ethnic group in Miao Village and the corpse gate are Miao people.
Needless to say, Miao Village is almost all Miao people, and there are also quite a number of Miao people in the corpse gate, in addition to the Tujia people and the Han people.
Seeing that I had the meaning of inquiry, the poisonous butterfly explained: "In fact, the main body of our three families is the Miao people, we are raw seedlings, and the Miao family is mature seedlings, and the time point of differentiation is in the Ming Dynasty, especially when the Mu Wangfu ruled the southwest. ”
Then, Poison Butterfly told me about the connection and historical grievances between the three families, and I became clearer.
It turned out that when Mu Wangfu ruled the southwest in the Ming Dynasty, in order to stabilize the Ming Dynasty's rule over the vast Miao Jiang, Mu Wangfu adopted a strategy of differentiation against the Miao people, simply put, it was to pull a group and fight a group.
The group that was co-opted because they were close to the Han people, learned the Han people's writing and culture, and finally were almost no different from the Han people, they were called mature seedlings. The Miao family is the mainstay of the mature seedlings, and in order not to forget their origins, they took the Miao people as their surname.
On the other hand, they are not subject to the jurisdiction of Mu Wangfu, and they are suppressed by that group of people, who have a strong xenophobic color, and are hostile to all foreign forces. For hundreds of years, there were constant wars with Mu Wangfu, the Han people, and even the mature Miao.
And Miao Village is the core and mainstay of seedlings.
As for the corpse gate, it is not because of culture, but because of the different paths.
The Miao people originally admired witchcraft and Gu arts, but as some Miao people learned the techniques of the Han Daomen, they created a maverick profession of chasing corpses after fusion.
At the beginning, they were the Miao people sandwiched between witchcraft and Taoism, and they were not welcomed on both sides, and later the art of chasing corpses spread to the Tujia and Han people, and gradually entrenched in the area of Xiangxi, forming large and small corpse chasing families.
And the era of their differentiation is even earlier, which can be traced back to the first Han migration to the south, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.
To sum up, in one sentence, the Miao people have differentiated the Miao family because of culture, and they have differentiated the corpse gate because of magic, which has achieved today's southwest pattern of three gates.
In the end, the three were originally of the same origin!
