Gun Scroll Chapter 6: The Power of the Sword (2)
That night, 30,000 sergeants in Xiao Mu's army were dispatched, and the soldiers were divided into two roads, with cavalry in front, shield armor and pikemen in the back.
The defenders of Yuan Wanzhen quickly discovered the anomaly here, and there was a sudden noise in the station. Xiao Qi followed behind Xiao Mu, and Zheng Fang also rode his horse to follow. Xiao Mu's eyes were cold, and he ordered: "Charge!"
The black-pressed crowd and horses rushed forward like surging waves. On the side of Yuanwan Town, the cavalry led by Xiao Mu bore the brunt, but they did not face the direction of the defenders of Yuanwan Town, but rushed straight ahead. At the moment, there was the sound of horses' hooves all around, and there was soon a movement in Yuan Wan Town, first more than 100 horsemen rushed out first, and then more people and horses joined, like a stream flowing into the sea, welcoming Xiao Mu's side.
Looking at this formation, the other party really hit the plan, and did not organize a small group of cavalry to maneuver, but directly faced the battle, presumably worried that Xiao Mu would successfully break through. Everyone was a little happy in their hearts, Xiao Mu gave orders in a deep voice, rode his horse to choke the momentum of the forward rush, turned slightly, and led the army to rush in the direction of the enemy. The two rushing streams of people suddenly collided together.
Xiao Qi held a spear in his hand and stabbed left and right in the crowd, and there was no obstacle in his rampage for a while. When he first entered the battlefield, Xiao Qi did not feel too much panic and uneasiness, although his heart was beating fast, his breathing was a little short, and under the helmet he was wearing, he could even feel his heavy snort. But his movements were unaffected, and the hand holding the barrel of the gun was stronger than ever, and between wielding the spear and slashing, there was not the slightest jerkiness or stiffness in his movements.
The blood in his body seemed to be rushing and whistling! Xiao Mu and Zheng Fang seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him, and Xiao Yu could only hear the sonorous sound and his own pounding heartbeat.
Xiao Qi picked off an enemy with one shot, and he caught a glimpse of the opponent's formation, a person wearing white armor, but not wearing a helmet, and his black and white hair fluttering in the wind, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark night. It would not be accurate to say that the armor on his body was white, because it was almost red with blood, and the blood spots were like a bloody picture. The man had a long knife in his hand, the handle of which was six feet long, and the blade was nearly two feet, and its weight was self-evident, but in this man's hand it was as light as a wooden stick, and the man's knife was also very dexterous, and each swing would bring up a puddle of blood and spray it over the wilderness.
Xiao Qi was excited, only to feel a blood rush to his head, and suddenly rode towards the man in white armor. As the horse was walking, he held the barrel of the gun high in his right hand, and then with the force of his wrist, he smashed forward with the weight of the gun itself, aiming at the enemy in white armor.
When the man saw Xiao Qi, his face was expressionless, and the long knife was horizontal in front of him, blocking Xiao Qi's gun. The force of this blow was so great that Xiao Qi himself felt that his hand was a little numb by the shock, but the person in the white armor seemed to be unaffected at all, and the long knife was flicked outward, and Xiao Qi almost didn't hold the gun in his hand. The man had gray hair and seemed to be old, and he seemed to swing a knife at random, not as conspicuous as Xiao Qi, but his strength was not many times stronger.
Xiao Qi gritted his teeth, forcibly resisted the awkward feeling, forcibly exerted force on his waist and abdomen, desperately pulled back the spear that was pushed to the side, and met the opponent's knife.
With a "clang", Xiao Qi's hands couldn't support it, and the gun was hitting his own chest. He suddenly felt a smell of blood welling up in his mouth, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. Seeing that he was about to fall off the horse, he actually pulled the reins of the horse to stabilize his figure. The other party suddenly let out a slightly surprised voice.
With a single contact, Xiao Qi recognized that this long knife was obviously a spiritual blade made of Sinking Iron, and the huge force accompanied by the sharp blade smashed down domineeringly, and the spear in Xiao Qi's hand was also made of fine iron, but it left a clearly visible gap within one move.
Xiao Qi did not hesitate to turn his horse's head and slip away, this huge gap like a chasm made his mind clear, and he naturally knew that he could not be the opponent of the other party. It's just that the other party obviously didn't mean to let him go, there was a wind howling behind him, Xiao Qi was suddenly covered in a cold sweat, and while pulling the reins of the horse to quickly change direction, he raised the gun to block, one end of the gun leaned on his shoulder, and the other end was attached to the horse's buttocks, using the horse to unload the domineering internal force on the gun.
It was another violent impact, the horse under Xiao Qi's crotch was even unstable, one stumbled, and Xiao Qi's shoulder was also a hot pain, he couldn't stabilize his body anymore and fell off the horse.
The man rode up two steps and looked at Xiao Qi condescendingly. Xiao Qi's gun had already fallen to the side, and he barely stood up with his hands on his knees, and then raised his head and faced the white-armored man. He could already feel the killing intent surging in the other party's eyes.
Xiao Chu gushed out a force out of nowhere, forced himself to stand up, his hand touched the boot of his right foot, the cold light under the moonlight was particularly conspicuous, drew an arc, and fell towards the enemy on the horse, Xiao Chu suddenly felt that he was in touch with this dagger, and his pitiful internal force automatically rushed to the tip of the dagger without control. It was a strange feeling, as if it wasn't holding it, but it was slashing in the direction of its own hand, and the blade was swinging out much faster than usual.
The man sneered and swung out his long knife to meet Xiao Chu's "Broken Soul".
As soon as the "bang" sounded, the internal force broke the soul out of his hand, and Xiao Chu's whole person also fell backwards, but the white-armored man seemed to be even more surprised, he hurriedly withdrew the long knife and inspected it in front of him, but saw that the place where the dagger was connected, there was a slight nick. He knew the toughness of his long knife as a spirit blade best, and he had fought for so long, and he had not left any uneven wounds, but he had left some traces under Xiao Yu's dagger. He looked at Xiao Yu's eyes with a sense of anger, and a hint of doubt.
Xiao Chu only felt that he was stunned by a huge force, and his arm was numb, but he also noticed the strangeness of the broken soul, and without waiting for the enemy to step forward, he hurriedly struggled to pick up the broken soul on the ground, but noticed the murderous gaze of the other party. Seeing that the other party seemed to want to step forward and kill himself, Xiao Qi suddenly found that the surroundings had become even more noisy, and even the white-armored people turned their heads to look around. In addition to the sound of horses' hooves and shouts of killing, there was also a faint sound of neat footsteps, and the ground seemed to shake as well. His eyes lit up: the infantry phalanx is coming!
The cavalry on Xiao Mu's side spread out, revealing the formation that had been formed behind them, the shield armor soldiers were blocking with shields in front, and spears stretched out from the gaps, and this formation continued to extend further, and the two sides gradually closed, and the gaps between them became smaller and smaller. The cavalry of Yunzhou began to panic, and some wanted to forcibly break through, but they were all stabbed by the spears stretched out from the shield array, and they were completely unable to organize an effective charge for a while.
The man in white armor had a fierce look on his face, and after a little hesitation, he left Xiao Qi alone, rode his horse and ran towards the gap, beckoning others to follow as he ran. The Yunzhou cavalry was indeed experienced in a hundred battles, and the soldiers reacted quickly, and gradually gathered near the white-armored people, but in an instant, nearly a thousand people gathered, and gradually moved towards the slowly closing gap in the chaos. It's just that more Yunzhou soldiers were cut off by the cavalry in Xiao Mu's army, unable to converge, and were forcibly left in the encirclement.
Xiao Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and almost fell to the ground, when suddenly a strong hand grabbed him and lifted him onto the horse. He turned around, but it was Zheng Fang, and Xiao Mu was also coming not far away.
"You're lucky that you didn't suffer any serious injuries under him. Just looking at his murderous appearance, you little pawn, how did you provoke him?" Zheng Fang asked curiously.
"I took the initiative to find him, but I was no match for him, so I had to turn around and run away. Xiao Chu replied honestly.
Zheng Fang was stunned for a moment, and said: "You kid is bold, do you know who he is? and dare to take the initiative to find him, it's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers!" His tone was a little reproachful at first, and then he smiled.
"Who's that?"
"Wei Zhuoxi's No. 1 fierce general, Lin Li, who is known as the overlord of the sword!" Zheng Fang looked at the white figure that had almost rushed out of the encirclement, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
