Chapter 025: Emperor Yin's Army
A man in black with an axe carefully weaves through the forest.
Years of combat experience have given him an instinctive reaction to danger. From the moment he saw the woods, he knew it wasn't safe inside!
But when he entered it, he saw no one but his companions. Generally speaking, the ambushes in the forest are hidden in the trees, and he has been paying attention to the movements on the trees, except for a few bird calls occasionally, no human figure has been found.
He knew that it was safe in a tree where there were birds calling, because when there were people, the birds would be frightened away.
He looked at the nervous look of his companion on the left, and he was a little amused. On the battlefield, people can be careful, but not nervous. Being cautious can make you cautious, but being nervous can make mistakes.
Fighting a war is the most afraid of making mistakes, because once a mistake is made, there is a good chance that there will not be a second time!
But he didn't blame the companion, because he was a kid who had just joined the pigeon camp.
The pigeon battalion is the institution he is in, and he is responsible for spying on the military when the army is fighting, and those who can enter it are all good players in the army, and their reaction and skills are superior to other soldiers.
The companion can enter the pigeon camp at the age of seventeen, which is naturally worthy of praise and encouragement, but it is a little tender, not to mention that it is not the army that is dealing with now, but a group of Jianghu people who do not know how to march and fight, although they are all strong in martial arts, but they do not know how to arrange troops at all.
On the battlefield, no matter how high the martial arts are, they can't withstand thousands of troops. To deal with these Jianghu people, he still has to transfer manpower in the pigeon battalion, and he feels that the general is making a little fuss.
So he wanted to remind his companion not to be afraid, just look at the trees, and he would help if there was any movement.
So he took a step to the side, trying to take his companion's hand and bring him closer to him. As soon as his feet hit the ground, he suddenly became alert, the soil was very soft, and there was an ambush!
As soon as he wanted to scream, his feet were already being clasped and his body disappeared in a flash, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.
He didn't disappear, but just fell into the soil, opened his mouth, and the soil poured in, he had to shut up, and then there was a numbness on the jade pillow acupoint, and the person had fallen asleep.
Little did he know that at the same time as he fell into the earth, his companion had suffered the same thing as him, being subdued in the crypt.
There are still a hundred steps to go through the birch forest.
The leader was a little excited, there was nothing suspicious in this forest, and after passing the woods, he could send a message for the army to come up, and use this as a base to storm Caixia Mountain!
In fact, he was very reluctant to participate in today's battle.
Let the Jianghu people solve the battle by themselves. He is a soldier, and the role of a soldier is reflected on the battlefield, not to attack the Jianghu sect, unless it is to suppress bandits.
But the Pure Water Rosette is not a bandit.
He had heard of this sect, many of the great generals in the army had learned the kung fu of this sect, and no one in this sect had ever been a bandit, and even many of its disciples were specialized in dealing with bandits, such a Jianghu sect should be considered good, but why did the general come to exterminate it?
Is it just to help those Tartars? Who are those Tartars?
He knew that those Tartars were not a good thing, and when he first received the order, the general asked everyone to change into black clothes, and his good brother Wang Dali complained: "This day, the bare butt can heat people to death, and they are not afraid of steaming when they wear black clothes!"
The sedan chair man who gave the order just now walked up to Wang Dali and looked at him coldly and asked him, "Are you very hot?"
Wang Dali asked him inexplicably: "Aren't you hot in this coarse cloth like filial piety?"
The palanquin man shook his head and said, "I'm not hot." ”
Wang Dali stiffened his neck and said, "But I'm hot!"
The palanquin man patted Wang Dali's shoulder and said, "You're not hot now!" Wang Dali didn't answer, and when he looked at him again, he was frozen into an ice sculpture!
The palanquin man looked at everyone coldly and asked, "Does anyone still feel hot?"
Why did the general hold these terrible people? Killing even his own people is still a good thing!
However, he did not dare to resist, because he was a soldier, and his duty was to obey orders. Moreover, even if he resisted, he would only become an ice sculpture.
With twenty steps to go out of the forest, he raised his right arm and motioned for everyone to regroup and unify the formation.
He thought that when the army came up, their pigeon battalion would rest. Since he didn't want to participate in this mission and suppress the heroes with the army, it would be okay if he didn't make a move during the big war.
Anyway, his task is to spy on the military, and it is the matter of the infantry battalion to fight and kill the enemy, and it has nothing to do with him.
But he suddenly felt that something was wrong, why didn't the brothers gather in front of him?
He suddenly turned around, only to find him standing alone in the woods, and his companions were gone!
He felt a cold sweat run down his spine, not because of the heat, but because of fear!
Where had all the companions gone? Could they have been ambushed? Why couldn't they see even a single enemy?
He clenched the long knife in his hand and looked around carefully, except for the gloomy trees, there was really not a single figure.
He looked at the top of the tree, but half of his attention was on his feet, the two places where it was easiest to hide.
He slowly leaned against a big tree to keep the empty door behind his back from being exposed to the enemy, and his eyes searched carefully up and down, but he still couldn't see a clue!
This frightened him even more, where was the enemy hiding? He felt his hand holding his sword tremble a little, and his back leaning against the tree was already soaked, and he probably even the trunk was wet.
Sure enough, he heard a faint sound, just a "poof", like the sound of water dropping on the wood.
How can you sweat so much? No, there are people in the trees!
As soon as he turned around, a big hole suddenly appeared in the trunk of the tree, two palms appeared out of thin air, his arms and shoulders were sore, and the long knife fell to the ground, he just wanted to shout, the acupoint behind his ears was numb, and the person had fainted!
In the Water Purification Hall, Liu Rufeng stared at Yunshang and asked, "Do you really see that people are not all disciples of the Polar Sect?"
Yunsheng's expression was solemn, and he nodded and said, "Definitely not!"
Feng Wuying also immediately said to Liu Rufeng: "Second Senior Sister's analysis is right, this kind of attack on the mountain and explore the way first cannot be done by the Polar Sect. It is by no means a strategy for ordinary martial arts sect battles. ”
Yunshang said: "And I look at those people, some clothes don't fit at all, they must be made temporarily!"
Liu Rufeng suddenly realized: "No wonder a small Polar Sect can actually lead 2,000 men and horses to attack the Water Purification Lotus, it turns out that they were all transferred from elsewhere! But who has an enmity with the Water Purification Lotus? Who has the strength to mobilize thousands of people and horses at will?"
Liu Chuanhai looked at him worriedly and asked, "Since you have already guessed, why don't you want to admit it?"
Liu Rufeng was stunned for a moment, and only sighed after half a sound: "Emperor Yin really wants to kill the Pure Water Lotus!" No wonder the Four Heavenly Demons have already come to Caixia Mountain, but they are only warning and intimidating, and they have not made a move, it turns out that they are waiting for the army to arrive!"
Yun Sheng asked puzzledly: "Since Emperor Yin sent troops, why did he change into the clothes of the Polar Sect?"
Liu Chuanhai snorted coldly: "Emperor Yin is brutal, but he always has to make a gesture of compassion for the heavens and love the people, if he sends an army to attack Caixia Mountain, how will the martial arts be treated?
With the cunning of Emperor Yin, he would never do such a stupid thing. However, the Pure Water Lotus has thousands of disciples, and has never been assigned by the imperial court, which has always been a big trouble for him.
Feng Wuying snorted coldly: "What a cunning Emperor Yin! Is it really at the mercy of others to be slaughtered by the Water Purification Lotus?"
Liu Rufeng frowned and advised: "No shadow, don't be angry, order to go down, try to increase the killing, so as not to have too deep a feud with the court!"
Feng Wuying was stunned for a moment, and then anxiously persuaded him: "Master, people have already come to the door, and this enmity is also a foregone conclusion." Could it be that we can't let others slaughter you?
Feng Wuying didn't continue to say the following words, but Liu Fanhai smiled, looked at Feng Wuying and said: "The kindness of the woman, right? Wuying, I know that you are all good children, and you are loyal to the Pure Water Lotus, but once the killing starts, it will never end!"
Liu Rufeng sighed, patted Feng Wuying's shoulder and said: "This matter involves a wide range of things, once Emperor Yin becomes angry, even if the Pure Water Lotus has the ability to protect your two hundred and fifty disciples, it will not have the ability to protect your family! At that time, it will no longer be a matter of the rivers and lakes, but a national government, and Emperor Yin can impose a crime of rebellion on our heads!"
"This..."Feng Wuying was stunned on the spot, speechless for a while.
Yunshang asked, "Then what should we do?
Liu Chuanhai smiled slightly: "The Yin Snake King is not a fool, he will definitely use soldiers to consume my energy first, and then send his disciples to exterminate the endgame." Therefore, when you encounter a soldier, don't fight it, just swim and capture it. Once you find out that there is a Polar Sect martial arts, you can kill it! This is the time of life and death of the Pure Water Lotus, when you are merciful, you will not think of killing, and when you are Shura, you will not be soft!"
Yun Sheng and Feng Wuying immediately bowed down and answered, "Yes!" and turned around and walked out.
When the two of them walked away, Liu Zhuanhai put his hands on his shoulders, raised his head and raised his eyes, looked at the sky and sighed: "What a round of scorching sun!"
Before the mountain fell, a man in black on a horse waved to an entourage and asked him in a low voice, "Is there any news from the pigeon camp?"
The attendant stood in front of the horse and bowed: "Report to the general, none!"
The man on the horse frowned and said to himself: "Why hasn't it been found out for so long? Could it be that something happened?"
But he heard the people in the sedan chair laughing: "The Pure Water Lotus Seat really hides the dragon and the Crouching Tiger! The pigeon battalion of General Tonghu must have been slaughtered by the people." ”
The person on the horse snorted coldly and said to the person in the sedan chair: "Don't bother the prince, the battle hasn't been fought yet, and it is not known who will kill the deer!"
The Yin Snake King is the king of the polar regions canonized by Emperor Yin, and it is natural for the copper tiger to call him a prince.
General Tonghu took out a fiery red order flag from his arms, waved it in his hand, and immediately a hundred and ten people poured out behind him, each carrying a bow and arrow, lined up, bent bows and arrows, and crouched at the foot of the mountain.
General Tonghu ordered the flag to go down, only to hear the sound of "whoosh" endlessly, and thousands of arrows flew into the air with the sound of the wind, falling in the dense forest in the mountains.
