Eighty-Eighth: For Whom the Bell Tolls I
There was no shortage of horses in Qingjiang, and the three thousand soldiers were equipped with a total of four or five thousand horses, and for a time the sound of people and horses was noisy.
Li Geshu's means are extremely high, and these 3,000 people are all his old deployment, they come when they are called, and they can fight when they come, so it only took less than an hour to rectify, and the troops drove to the south gate in an orderly manner.
But Li Songqing, who has been saddled before and after the horse, is extremely puzzled in his heart, saving people is not a decisive battle between the two armies, it is better to be sick than slow, it is better to be fine than annoying, Li Geshu brought all the clansmen out, and even gave a death order to make the women and children of the whole clan withdraw from the west city gate with fine softness and migrate westward, these arrangements are harmful and useless in saving people.
Li Songqing is Li's humerus, Li Geshu has no intention of hiding it from him, and since he asked, he will tell the plan and the plan.
After rescuing Li Wuxiong this time, the Li family immediately left Qingjiang and returned to the Li family's ancestral hometown, Daocheng, and never returned. ”
Before leaving the city, Li Geshu made such a big fanfare not to strengthen my momentum and deliberately provoke, but to carry out the plan of the plank road to secretly Chen Cang, when the soldiers and horses were assembled, the women and children of the Li family had sneaked out of Qingjiang along the small gate in the west of the outer city;
Li Songqing asked: Why is it so hasty?
Li Geshu replied: Ma Kuo must have made some moves today, so he should go quickly.
Li Geshu has been in a high position for more than 30 years, and his grasp of people's hearts is much higher than that of the night knife method.
Ma Kuo, who has always been calm and introverted, can't wait to confront himself today, and he must keep his last move. If it weren't for Li Geshu's eyes like torches, he guessed that Ma Kuo still had a trace of unexpected concerns in his heart, where would Li Geshu be allowed to take the lead in gathering force. Now that the military formation has been formed, Ma Kuo no longer has the strength to act rashly.
Li Songqing didn't know that Li Geshu's long-cherished wish was to practice Tianhuo and return to Dao City, and he could leave in this way, how was it different from a lost dog. He was reasonable, but he couldn't swallow this bad breath.
Brother Li lived a thorough life, knowing that the gains and losses of one city and one place did not have to be taken to heart at all, and escorting Tianhuo back to Dao City was the top priority.
The two rode tall horses and led the way, and as Li Geshu expected, no one dared to stop half a step all the way.
Until the south city gate, Han Duxing blocked the city gate with a single sword.
Li sent Qingle forward immediately and asked contemptuously: You want to stop me?
Unexpectedly, Han Governor said: My brother is also outside the city, and I will go with you to save people!
Li Xiangqing turned to look at Li Geshu, who nodded.
Han Duxing turned over and dismounted, and quickly pulled out his sword and wiped the throat of the Ma family guard next to him, and his feet flew more than a foot high with a seemingly light point, and he carried the heavy wooden bolt that locked the city gate on his shoulder, and opened the city gate.
Han Governor's petition has been submitted. Li Songqing had no reason to refuse, so he personally led another horse and handed it to Han Governor to ride. The three of them walked side by side and swept out of the south gate of the inner city.
Li Geshu looked back at the city, opposite Ma Kuo from afar, and his heart said that from now on, you and I will go to one side, and we will not meet again.
Li Geshu ordered the soldiers to go down and divide into two routes, Li Xiangqing took Shaozhuang to the west to pick up the women and children in Xicheng, and he brought less than 200 good hands and at least 800 longbows and short swords to the south.
And they all miscalculated what was going on outside the city.
Out of the Milk Tiger Forest, Yin Yuan carried the three of them to Qingjiang quickly, but ran head-on into the dozen or so alien-pupil horses cruising around the cloud tree demon array. It is true that the silver curls are fast, but these alien pupils are all cultivators who have entered the realm, and they are as strong as small hills, which are much worse than the small silver curls.
The silver curled left and right and saw that the stitches had never been chased so embarrassed, and several times wanted to throw the three people on their backs and compare themselves with those heterogeneous horses. Forced by the situation, Yin Yuan didn't care about returning to Qingjiang, and finally rushed all the way to the west, and happened to miss it one after the other with Li Geshu and his party.
After chasing more than 200 miles, those alien pupil horses hated to give up, thinking that they had never encountered a little mare with such short legs and could run so fast.
Yinyuan also began to be tired and panting rarely, and relaxed his pace and walked back to Qingjiang slowly.
Li Geshu and his entourage went south, and they didn't want to go straight to the main formation of the Cloud Tree Demon Group, so they scattered their troops and horses to find Li Wuxiong's whereabouts. But in front of the two armies, there is no difference between your swaggering and swaggering from side to side and provocation.
The formation did not move, but out of it came nine fire foxes, their bodies the size of foals, all fiery red, running like a flame. The fire fox rushed to raid, and he didn't look for anyone else, just aimed at Li Geshu. The subordinates of the Li clan are worthy of a hundred battles, although there is no hope for a single cultivator, but the formation of a formation is even impermeable. Although the fire fox has a strange body, it can't be worn for a while.
Han Duxing asked in a low voice: I have never seen such a monster, I don't know what the name is?
In order to suppress the formation and stabilize the morale of the army, Li Geshu replied loudly: The fire fox and the three-legged black and the reckless red clam are the three major demon clans under the red dragon seat;
Li Geshu explained like this, and the generals gradually let go of the nervousness and cringe when they first came into contact with the monster, and made more and more confident moves, firmly locking the fire fox in the center of the horse formation.
The formation was firm, the victory was complete, Li Ge Shulema detoured, and then went with the rest of the soldiers to find out Li Wuxiong's position. But the Cloud Tree Demon Formation did not move at all, did not rescue the fire fox, and did not even have the slightest sign of noise or assembly, as if nothing had happened, and no clues could be given to Li Geshu.
Li Geshu couldn't see the clues, and he was a little confused. He looked left and right, if Li Wuxiong went east, it would be a dead end to meet the Qingjiang River, and he should have seen the traces long ago if he went north, and eighty percent went west, Li Geshu could only rely on speculation to hit Maxi, but he still looked calm and composed.
Before the soldiers and horses could move, there was a terrible cry behind them.
Li Geshu looked back, and the military formation formed by more than 20 Li disciples ignited into flames.
The dry meadow in the winter immediately burst into flames, and the fire was so fierce that the Li family was caught off guard at all, and they were enveloped in the fire at once.
The raging fire burned so much that people turned on their backs, and the military formation was broken in an instant, but the fire seemed to open a spiritual mind, and it slapped towards Li Geshu not far away like a big wave. Han Duxing drew his sword and slashed it in the air, and the vitality condensed on the sword turned into a strong wind and blew the fire back violently, relieving the temporary sleep.
The flames were blown apart by the wind, and the nine foxes had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a few dozen charred corpses of men and horses. Han Duxing jumped up from his horse, and the tip of his sword pierced the fireball that was still condensed after being blown by the wind.
Han Du's punishment method is not unpleasant, and his moves are not tricky, but the fireball moves more quickly, and before it makes contact, the fire splits into two and dodges the sword, and then the two tongues of fire collide with Han Du's punishment. Han Du stopped in mid-air and couldn't borrow his strength, it was too late to collect the sword, and he was trapped by the fire ball with just one move.
Han Duxing gently pushed with his left palm, and held the fearless seal of the Buddha Sect to make a move on the note of the Maitreya Sutra with a knife: All the ghosts are scattered!
Majestic vitality poured out from Zhou Tian's acupoint, like a heavy giant shield, isolating the flames. Han Duxing gritted his teeth and remained silent, sweating profusely pouring down from the top of his head like pouring rain, and he was drenched in a moment.
Li Geshu in the distance hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to let Han Duxing be trapped in that strange fire. He has always had his own calculations in his heart, Han Duxing's realm is not bad, if he can use it for himself, it is indeed a great help, but he has secretly received a lot of favors from Ma Kuo, and he is even more grateful to Bai Yougui for the etiquette of the disciple of the next generation, and the purpose of going out of the city this time is really worth scrutinizing.
Is it really true that just to save Han Laomi, he completely abandoned his net worth and his life?
Li Geshu held the handle of the knife in his hand, but he kept holding back, and looked coldly at the gradually exhausted Han Governor.
