Chapter Seventy-Eight: Half-Crossing
Pu Yuan's improvised night attack came suddenly, which caught Huang Hanji and Shin Dongzan off guard. According to the news sent back by the fine work, Pu Yuan had set up camp, prepared for rest, and put on a posture of preparing to break through with all his might, but tonight there was no warning of the night attack, and even the order for the night attack was issued at dusk.
Fortunately, Huang Hanji has not relaxed his guard on weekdays, hearing the night attack, the horn in the camp sounded, although there was a little panic at the beginning, but it didn't take long for the cavalry to integrate the cavalry force and counterattack back.
When the front camp of Huang Hanji's army was fighting fiercely, Pu Yuan and Gongsun Zhongmou took their respective descendants all the way north along the Duolun River.
Like the rivers on the grassland, the Duolun River is also diverted from the Qinghe River, whether it is the water potential or the depth of the water can not be compared with the Qing River, and in some years, it will even break the flow, leaving only a dry riverbed, now it is the rainy season, the water volume of the Duolun River has skyrocketed, and Pu Yuan will be trapped on the bank of the Duolun River.
As we traveled northward, the volume of the Duolun River began to slow down until there was a shoal hundreds of miles away, where the water of the Duolun River was at its gentliest, which was where Gongsun Zhongmou said he was forced to cross the river.
The soldiers and horses led by Pu Yuan were only about 10,000 people, but they were his descendants, and at this time more than 10,000 cavalry were lined up in two columns, and the hooves of the horses were wrapped in cloth, like a long black snake winding forward in the night.
After about an hour, the fire and shouts of killing in Huang Hanji's camp gradually weakened, and at this time, Pu Yuan and Gongsun Zhongmou had also come to the shallow part of the river.
Here, as Gongsun Zhongmou said, when you get here, the river widens and the water is gentle, and in some places you can even see the riverbed below.
Pu Yuan and Gongsun Zhongmou glanced at each other, and Pu Yuan waved his hand and said, "The whole army crosses the river." ”
More than 10,000 cavalry began to cross the river with Pu Yuan's order, and the deepest part of the water was only half without horses' legs. Pu Yuan led the way across the river, while Gongsun Zhongmou led a thousand horsemen to patrol and guard the riverbank.
When Pu Yuan led the vanguard of 1,000 horsemen to cross the Dolun River, he saw a cyan figure flying into the sky under the night, which was the autumn leaves that had returned to the grassland.
After all, Pu Yuan led 10,000 horses, and Qiu Ye had already advanced to the realm of heaven and man, and the movements of these 10,000 people could be concealed from Huang Hanji but not from Qiu Ye, but in a hurry, Qiu Ye only said to Huang Hanji, and took the lead in catching up with Gongsun Zhongmou and others alone.
Autumn leaves wore a green robe, because the green dragon was still in Xiao Yu's hands, but he came empty-handed, at this time on the battlefield, Qiu Ye didn't say anything at all, directly rolled up the sleeves of his robe, rolled up countless water swords from the Duolun River, and shot towards the cavalry who were crossing the river and could not advance or retreat.
At this time, Gongsun Zhongmou, who had been prepared for a long time, snorted coldly, and the thousand horsemen guarding the shore shot towards the autumn leaves in mid-air with crossbows.
The autumn leaves do not dodge or dodge, the big sleeves are rolled again, and thousands of crossbow arrows converge into a line, and then all of them are included in the sleeves of the autumn leaves like a tired bird returning to the forest.
The Qiankun in the sleeve is the first-class supernatural power of the Taoist Sect, and the autumn leaves will naturally do it, and when the cultivators of the Heavenly and Human Realm use it, it is naturally more wonderful than Xiao Yu's sleeve.
Akiba collected the crossbow arrows in the sky with one sleeve, and at the same time, a wave of water swords also killed nearly a hundred cavalry.
At this time, Gongsun Zhongmou, who had been watching coldly, rose up with his sleeves, although he could not fly in the sky like autumn leaves, he could also stay in the air for a short time, followed by a woman in white who flew up from the other side, it was Zhang Xueyao who was injured by Qiu Si.
That day, when escorting the five little monks of the Molun Temple, she was deceived by Qiu Si into a sneak attack, and almost lost her life unexpectedly. However, fortunately escaped with his life, since returning to the camp of Puyuan, Zhang Xueyao has been in retreat, and at this moment, he has not only recovered from his injuries, but also made a breakthrough in the realm, and now he is also in the upper realm.
Gongsun Zhongmou and Zhang Xueyao were black and white, and the two long swords burst out several zhang of sword qi at the same time, merging into one in the air.
And Pu Yuan also ordered the army to start crossing the river at full speed, and the royal cavalry began to cross the river almost like a charge, and as far as the eye could see, except for the cavalry, there was almost no river to see.
In the past history, there are many cultivators who rely on their self-cultivation and resist the army from the front, and even thousands of years ago, when there was no rule of being free from entering the world, the immortals fought on the battlefield, so that the killing karma created was too heavy, and the heaven and earth inducted the heavenly punishment and died.
Gongsun Zhongmou and Zhang Xueyao combined their swords and struck a blow, and were rolled away by Qiuye's understated sleeve, and the two did not entangle, but quickly landed, and then tacitly disappeared into the military formation, and then there was a buzzing sound in the sky again, and another rain of arrows fell towards Qiuye.
At this time, Pu Yuan didn't care about the accidental injury of the arrows, and the arrows rained wave after wave, falling towards the autumn leaves like money.
Qiu Ye frowned, and the sleeves of his robe rolled up continuously, collecting all these two waves of arrow rain into his sleeves, but using Qiankun sleeves to collect such a number of arrows, even if he was in the realm of heaven and man, he felt a little difficult.
Cavalry combat, the biggest advantage is the impact of the charge in formation, if the charge space is lost, the advantage of the cavalry is not much left, if Autumn Leaves meets the more than 10,000 cavalry on the plain, unless he has been hiding in the air and does not come down, it is impossible to confront head-on, but at this time it is crossing the river, the more than 1,000 patrol cavalry and a thousand archers are not much different at all.
If Autumn Leaves wants to stop the more than 10,000 cavalry with his own strength, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream, if it is on the plain, it is extremely difficult to drag these 10,000 cavalry.
Gongsun Zhongmou and Zhang Xueyao were hiding in the military array, with the cover of the military array, Qiu Ye couldn't find them for a while, but Qiu Ye was not impatient, he just wanted to drag Pu Yuan, and when Huang Hanji's army arrived, he wanted Pu Yuan's entire army to be wiped out here.
Gongsun Zhongmou seemed to see Qiu Ye's intentions, snorted coldly, and the black sword pointed at the sky, letting out a clear sound.
With this clear sound, the nearly 100 Sword Sect disciples who were originally hiding in the military formation shot out together, and the formation arranged according to their intentions instantly formed a huge sword formation.
In the center of the sword array, it is like a Taoist double fish, which is Gongsun Zhongmou and Zhang Xueyao.
After the sword formation was formed, the sword aura soared to the sky in an instant, and with the finger of Gongsun Zhongmou's long sword standing in the eye of the formation, Zhang Xueyao took out the sword again, and the two of them combined their swords.
And the countless sword qi derived from the sword array converged into a single sword, all of which were dissolved in the combination of Gongsun Zhongmou and Zhang Xueyao's double swords, and the sword qi rushed into the sky and went straight to the autumn leaves.
A sword that gathers the strength of nearly 100 people.
Facing this sword, Akiba didn't dare to be careless at all, let out a long roar, put his hands together, and made a gesture to draw his sword upwards.
Immediately afterward, countless royal court cavalry who were crossing the river exclaimed, and half of the water of the Duolun River under their feet seemed to be lifted by an invisible hand, revealing the riverbed in an instant. The river water downstream is still rushing forward, and the drinking water upstream has not yet flowed, and a section of the river has been emptied.
This time, Autumn Leaves still took advantage of the situation, but it was borrowed from a river, and this river was a sword!
A giant water sword condensed from a river!
In the face of Gongsun Zhongmou, the people who used it together were determined to win the sky with a sword, and Akiba smashed it down with a sword.
A sword of heaven and man!
