Chapter Ninety-Eight: Soldiers in Troubled Times (4)

Fifty archers soon occupied a steep slope next to the official road, and all of them were hidden in shape, and began to draw strong bows and arrows, ready to prepare.

The catharsis of the people and horses, the wheels burst, finally getting closer and closer.

Even the people heard the loud voices of the two guard leaders in the army of Nanzhao escorting the grain route, which reached their ears.

"Lord Zhang, this time the king led an army of 300,000 to conquer Xichuan in person, and he must be able to take back countless gold, silver, jewelry, and a large number of beautiful slaves. At that time, the national strength of my Nanzhao will definitely be unprecedentedly improved, even if it is not difficult to destroy the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, right?"

"Ha Lu Ha...... yes, that's fast. However, let's first hand over the task of escorting the grain route, and on the day the army breaks through the city of Xichuan, we will also go to captivate a few beauties and come back to serve the brothers......" The leading officer who was called Lord Zhang by another leader said with a smile.

The leader also let out a wicked smile when he heard Lord Zhang's words, "Yes, most of the beauties in Xichuan are delicate and beautiful, not to mention the white and greasy skin, gently pinch it soft and smooth, tsk...... Definitely compared with the beauties of our Nanzhao Kingdom, it has a different flavor!"

The leader spoke so vigorously that he almost drooled from the imagination.

However, at this moment, the leading officer, Master Zhang, only felt a slight shaking from a large tree at the edge of the woodland next to the road.

Immediately, a cold light flashed in Lord Zhang's eyes, and his vigilance increased.

"Slow ......"

It's just that Lord Zhang blurted out the word 'slow' just now, and the escort team of Nanzhao Kingdom was still immersed in the high-minded talk of the two adults, and their mental fluctuations could not extricate themselves for a moment and a half.

When the first wave of arrows arrived, the pioneers of the Nanzhao Kingdom accompanying the escort of the grain road fell thirty or forty people, some of whom were hit by arrows in the chest, and some of their heads were blooming and blood was splashing......

When the second wave of arrows came, thirty more guards fell. When the third wave of arrows came, the escort team of Nanzhao Kingdom had the instinct to retreat and defend under the reprimand of Lord Zhang and the commander of the guards, and only more than a dozen guards died......

At this time, Lai Yujiu, who was hiding in the dense forest next to the road, shouted, "Kill ......"

I saw Lai Jingjiu first come out of the dense forest, he held the treasure knife in his hand, and ran murderously to the Nanzhao guards, followed by Gong Feiyan, the seven disciples, and the forty or so martial arts masters who went with him, these people were like tigers and wolves like sheep as soon as they entered the Nanzhao sergeants, and those who blocked them were all gone, wailing for a while. There was almost no suspense, a large number of Nanzhao soldiers who escorted the grain road fell, and many soldiers who lost their armor and unloaded their armor were about to scatter, but they were cut to the ground by the fifty elites of the sword and axe battalion who rushed out of the dense forest......

And Lai Jingjiu in the battle was like a killing god, only to see him kill several people in a row with one sword, and at least one row of soldiers would fall down after two swords. Anyway, as soon as his knife came out, blood would definitely splash, and the knife would fall down, and the soldiers in the Nanzhao State Guard Army would not be afraid of weakness when they saw him.

The same is true of Gong Feiyan, the seven major disciples, and more than forty masters, interspersing among the hundreds of soldiers of the Southern Zhao Kingdom, raising and falling with their swords, and their swords coming out of their palms, firmly controlling the lives of the other party......

On the one hand, the guards of the Nanzhao Kingdom had to take care of the masters who had entered the interior, and they also had to beware of the arrows in the Divine Arrow Camp on the side of the road, and at this moment the casualties were close to half.

The Lord Zhang and the guards saw that the opportunity was wrong, and they knew that if they resisted any longer, they would all be wiped out here. So in a hurry, Zhang Daren shouted and scolded: "Don't fall in love with war, follow me to fight together......"

The remaining guards of the Nanzhao Kingdom and the slaves who escorted the grain and grass listened, and sure enough, they rushed over with the official road that Lord Zhang had been coming.

Seeing this scene for a long time, Lai Jingjiu snorted heavily and said, "Hmph, you want to run, it's not that easy! I'll kill you, Lord Zhang, first......

I saw that with a wave of Lai Jingjiu's big sword, a golden light leaked out and cut down the three Nanzhao soldiers who were blocking the road in front of him to the ground.

Immediately after, Lai Jingjiu jumped up, and his body and knife turned into a phantom in mid-air......

More than ten zhang away, it seems to be just a blink of an eye.

When the knife arrived, the man fell.

The Lord Zhang, who was riding on a tall horse, was suddenly startled, and when he felt the knife that Lai had been flying in the air for a long time, he didn't have time to look back, so he turned his backhand knife into a move 'Oolong Looking Back', and slashed out several sword lights in an attempt to block the incoming momentum.

It's just that when he came into contact with Lai Jingjiu's substantive slash in the air, he suddenly felt cold. At the same time, he felt a chill above his head penetrate deep into his soul......

A burst of numbness, a burst of tearing.

What is numb is that this Lord Zhang didn't seem to feel the slightest pain, so he was slashed horizontally by Lai Jingjiu, separated from head to tail, and it was only a matter of a moment that he fell off the horse and died.

What was torn was that on the surface, the long-lasting broadsword cut through Lord Zhang's armor and body, but it tore the hearts of the guards of the Nanzhao Kingdom.

Lai Jingjiu's horizontal knife fell to the ground, and a wisp of blood dripped from the sharp blade of the treasure knife in his hand.

One person stood in front of the hundreds of soldiers of the Nanzhao Kingdom escorting the grain road, and he did not have the slightest fear, on the contrary, when the hundreds of soldiers of the Nanzhao Kingdom looked at Lai Yujiu, their eyes showed fear.

"Can you still run?" Lai said coldly, this tone no longer had his usual pleasant face, and was replaced by murderous intent.

The commander of the guards also showed fear in his eyes after watching Master Zhang being killed by Lai Jingjiu, but at this moment he was already the supreme commander of the escort team, but the fear in his eyes gradually calmed down, and asked: "Who are you? You dare to take Sergeant Xichuan to rob our army's food supply, you are not afraid......

Lai didn't wait for the commander of the guard to finish speaking, then he glanced at him sideways and said nonchalantly, "What am I afraid of? If I want to kill you, you won't have a chance to stand and talk to me." ”

At this moment, the Nanzhao guards who were fighting with Gong Feiyan, the seven disciples, all the masters, and a hundred Xichuan elite soldiers all stopped (those who did not stop have been killed). The living Nanzhao people were all surrounded by a group, among them, they were surrounded by a long time, and there were fifty archers on the side with their bows and waiting, as long as these Nanzhao guards resisted, they would definitely die in an instant......

There is no doubt about that. Not only did the commander of the guards know it well, but even those panicked soldiers and slaves knew very well that this group of Xichuan soldiers was definitely all elite, and what was especially terrifying was the other forty or so masters of the rivers and lakes and the big man in front of him......

"You ...... You...... What do you want to do......? It's already been robbed by you, why do you want to kill them all?" the commander of the guard was in a hurry, and his already unfamiliar Chinese stammered.

Lai Jingjiu listened to what the guard commander said, but said with a smile: "Since I didn't kill you just now, I won't kill you again! But from now on, you people have to listen to me...... Put down the weapons in your hands first, and then push them all these weapons to the woodland behind me! After three days, I will let you go...... Otherwise, I don't care about hundreds of more of your lives under my sword!"

The commander of the guard listened to Lai Jingjiu's murderous words, and his heart was also timid, and when he saw that most of the soldiers gathered around him were afraid, he had to sigh lightly: "That...... Okay, you're not going to kill us? You're ...... But talk counts!"

Lai Jingjiuguo shook the treasure knife, and the sergeants saw a flash of silver light in front of them, and the long knife was suddenly sheathed. Lai Jingjiu, who was still murderous just now, searched his whole body at this moment, and he could hardly find even the slightest killing intent.

When the commander of the guard saw Lai Jingjiu's expression at this time, he was secretly shocked in his heart: It turned out that he had a knife to have killing intent, and no one could see that he had such a terrifying momentum when the knife was not unsheathed!

"Ha Lu Ha...... You can rest assured, I, Lai Jingjiu, have always been as good as a mountain of words!" Lai Jingjiu put away the knife, looked at the commander of the guards, and smiled.

When the commander of the guard heard Lai's reply, he was extremely surprised for a moment and asked, "You...... Are you Lai...... Lai long?"

"What? do you still recognize me?" Lai said.

"No...... No, I've heard of it...... I've heard people say before that there is a Divine Sword Lai family in the Tang Kingdom that is very famous, aren't you a member of the Divine Sword Lai Family?" the guard commander looked at Lai Jingjiu intently, and asked again.

"Yes, my master is the seventh generation head of the Divine Sword Lai family! I didn't expect you Nanban people to know my master's name? It's really not easy!" Before Lai could answer for a long time, Qing Feng said first.

When the commander of the guards heard this, there was a hint of joy on his pale face, and he said, "So you ...... You are actually the people of the Divine Sword Lai family! Hehe, then we are convinced that we are defeated in your hands this time. ”

The commander of the guards didn't expect that these people who robbed the road in front of him were indeed people from the Divine Sword Lai family, and for a while, he actually felt that he was still glorious despite defeat.

Lai Jingjiu didn't say anything more, but just asked his subordinates to collect the weapons of this group of Nanzhao soldiers, and asked them to carry the grain and utensils to the woodland behind.

There is a sequence of things, and the words are divided into two ends.

The next day, after the rain and the sky was clear, the army of Nanzhao Kingdom slaughtered to Chengdu, Xichuan Mansion of the Tang Dynasty with great speed.

In just one day, the Nanzhao army has entered the land of Tang Ting Xichuan for dozens of miles, although there are many Tang troops along the way to block with all their might, but the vanguard of the Nanzhao army is the first to attack with 100,000 people, the vanguard of the Nanzhao army is mainly cavalry, chariots and horses and chariots complement each other, once the attack can play an incomparably fierce combat effectiveness, and with thousands, nearly 10,000 Tang army infantry soldiers with low resistance and strong attack power, the Nanzhao army can only be defeated and retreated.

Wherever the Nanzhao army passed, as long as there was resistance, all men and children were killed, and only beautiful women were left to loot and slavery. Therefore, after the war, many villages and towns along the way were burned and looted, and then they were set on fire to the ground. That kind of unbearable miserable image is really like hell on earth.
