Chapter 1 Beacon Smoke and Smoke
Purple Sai Xiongguan
A lonely moon
The crescent moon is like a hook, and there is a lone beacon tower underneath.
Different from the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the water is continuous, and the moon is fuller.
The moon in the south of the Yangtze River is weak, quiet, and beautiful.
It is also different from the secluded place where the bamboo path leads to the Bashu Forgotten River, the gurgling water, the quiet seven-star lamp, and the moonlight is slightly cool.
Yes, the moon in Shu is secluded, dark, and restrained.
However, if you are like Yang Tingfeng, for eight years in a row, regardless of wind, frost, snow and rain, you will know that looking at the moon outside the gate is definitely different from the moon looking at the moon in the gate.
From the lack of the moon to the full moon, it rises from the majestic vast mountain, jumps out of the plug, illuminates Qilian, feasts on the mountain, and penetrates the jade gate.
It shines on the two capitals and thirteen provinces of Dayin, and also fishes the blood wolf tribe Qianli Gelgong grassland.
The moon was bright, blooming, and majestic.
Kill!
"It's been eight years...... The border has been quiet for eight years. On the beacon tower, a man with a dark face, sword eyebrows and sideburns, a well-defined face, bright eyes, and a scar about two inches long on the corner of his right eye was muttering to himself.
The man wears a cooked bronze beast helmet, a pair of mountain pattern armor, a pair of deerskin straddle boots, a gold beast-faced belt around his waist, and a quiver hanging from his waist. The bag contained thirty-two light arrows: sixteen of them were goose arrows and sixteen jackdaw arrows (light arrows)
And the most concerning thing is that the man is carrying a three-foot-long black iron box, which has been slightly worn, revealing a layer of reddish-brown rust; On the side of the iron box there is also a quiver with eighteen heavy arrows inserted upside down: nine five-toothed arrows, six armor-piercing arrows, and three strangled barbed arrows (heavy arrows)
The man's name was Yang Tingfeng, and he was one of the soldiers guarding the West Beacon Tower.
He was originally a disciple of the Shenji Gate, and was famous for his hidden weapons and thousands of machine boxes (crossbows).
In the first year of his debut, Yang Tingfeng shot and killed a master named Zhao Xiang.
This Zhao Xiang is a martial arts giant in the Yingzhou realm, known as a sword double master, a sword maniac and a sword maniac. It is rumored that his "Tianfeng Cangyun Sword" can rank among the top five among the entire Yingzhou swordsmanship. And his Five Tigers Soul Breaking Knife has frustrated countless enemies, and it is useless to kill the enemy.
And these are just the "shields" under Zhao Xiang's appearance, his real identity is actually the boss of a killer organization called "Listening to Xuelou". This organization was founded by the two brothers Zhao Xiang and Zhao Xuan, and is very famous in the killer world, and has committed seventy or eighty major cases, killing hundreds of thousands of people at every turn, bloody everywhere, mourning all over the wilderness, and notorious.
is such a master, who did not dodge Yang Tingfeng's arrow.
In the second year of his debut, Yang Tingfeng shot and killed a bandit named Zhu Yunqiu.
This Zhu Yunqiu is not ordinary. On the surface, he is the owner of Earthquake Mountain Villa. However, secretly received a lot of horse thieves who were wanted by the government, and the bandits were kept in the village. often looking for opportunities to cross states and prefectures to bloody the rich merchants in the region, annihilate the caravans, burn, kill and plunder, it can be said that there is no evil.
And he himself, with an immortal golden body, is said to have ten percent of the horizontal practice kung fu of the black-level floating slaughter.
The whole body covers only half an inch of the door, and the muscles on the surface of the body are as hard as steel, invulnerable, invulnerable, invulnerable, and can break the sword and arrow.
In addition, the book of body protection true qi that he obtained in his early years because of his adventures made Zhu Yunqiu's internal strength extremely strong, even if it was a dark injury, a dark energy, and a feminine martial arts could not hurt him in the slightest.
Such a bandit who cultivates both inside and outside, in the hands of Yang Tingfeng, can't withstand the three arrows.
Why? It's all because Yang Tingfeng's crossbow machine is too terrifying.
He has two crossbows, one heavy and one light.
Light crossbow call: Sky Feather Sinking Star.
It was given by his teacher when Yang Tingfeng went down the mountain.
This crossbow machine is a continuous hair type, with a fast loading speed and a fast bolt speed, which can shoot eight light arrows in an instant, which is very suitable for group battles and melee battles. The disadvantage is that the lethality is insufficient.
And another heavy crossbow is called: Flying Star Feather
Unlike the continuous hairstyle of the Sky Feather Shen Xing, this Flying Star Feather is a single hairstyle and can only shoot one arrow at a time.
Although, the reloading is slow, and the bolts are also slow to be discharged. However, it is extremely lethal and very suitable for dealing with masters whose strength is far greater than their own.
This crossbow was made by Qin Feng, the ninth generation head of the Shenji Gate, who was known as "the crossbow machine is changing, and the arrows are terrifying" three hundred years ago.
What's even more terrifying is that the arrows fired by this crossbow will cause a strong whirlwind sound, which can cause serious damage to the enemy's eardrums and blow away the protective qi on the body surface of the master of hard skills.
So for a hundred years, in order to seize this artifact. I don't know how many masters in the world have been lost, I don't know how many battles have taken place in the rivers and lakes, and I don't know how many lives have been lost inside the Divine Machine Gate.
As soon as the flying stars are displayed, who in this world dares to stand in front of this arrow?
He Zhu Yunqiu, can't either.
In just three arrows, Yang Tingfeng shot through this "steel plate".
With these two things, it is enough to make Yang Tingfeng one of the most terrifying legends in the rivers and lakes.
However, in the third year, he Yang Tingfeng suddenly disappeared from the martial arts.
And in the rivers and lakes, who would have thought that he would go to Zisai alone and become one of the 100,000 border troops of Dayin
- The most ordinary member
Alone out of the fortress, thousands of miles into the army.
He became famous at the age of twenty-two.
Today, he has been in the army for eight years.
But it is unknown at the Zisai border pass.
At the age of thirty, all he got was much darker skin, sharper eyes, and smoothed edges and corners.
It was freezing and it was night, and there was frost on the man's swarthy face.
Yang Tingfeng raised his hand to wipe off the ice slag, and then stroked the thousand machine box on his back, smiling and smiling.
For the king, the purple plug is a chokepoint, a strategic fortress, and one of the important financial revenue points of the state.
For the soldiers stationed at the border gates, the 300,000 ordinary people behind them are the entire Great Yin River.
It is precisely because of him and countless hot-blooded men like him who stick to it day and night that the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the country is stable.
As a soldier, he hoped that the "signal" of the beacon would never rise.
But sometimes, he has some small regrets.
Because, a soldier who has not experienced a war can only be counted as half a soldier.
He also longs for the day when he can go into battle to kill the enemy and make achievements.
However, from sunrise to sunset, from the waning moon to the full moon, he waited for eight years.
But fate seems to have played a joke on him, since he came to the border army, the blood wolf barbarians have never come.
Sometimes, he would secretly complain with emotion that his martial arts were useless.
Now, he, Yang Tingfeng, is stuck in this place closest to war.
It was nearly fifteen miles away from the next beacon tower, one hundred and twenty miles away from Zisaixiong Pass, and nearly fifty miles away from the rest point of his own group of prospecting horses.
As the forefront beacon tower of Zisai, there is a big road and a mountain road to go to Mangshan.
Behind the vast mountains is the Golgong grassland, which is the gathering place of the blood wolf tribes.
When the blood wolf came to attack, this beacon tower was the first station to warn the Zisai border army, raising smoke during the day and fire at night.
In the past hundred years, the blood wolf barbarians, large and small, have committed sixty-three crimes.
And every invasion can be seen by this beacon tower in advance.
It can be said that this beacon tower is where Zisai's lifeline is.
Taiwan is closed, Taiwan is lost.
Therefore, those who can guard this beacon tower are all brave and daring warriors in the Dayin border army, veterans of the aftermath of bloody battles, and masters secretly recruited from the rivers and lakes.
At this moment, the neighing of horses came from the wind, bringing Yang Tingfeng's thoughts back to reality in an instant.
I saw that under the beacon tower, a black horse seemed to be frightened, and kept spinning in place.
"Shhh Yang Tingfeng's face was gloomy for a while, and he suddenly turned around, jumped up, and in the blink of an eye, his figure had fallen to the ground, and he listened to it.
Not far away, the drums were bursting, and the earth seemed to tremble.
"Finally, is it finally here?" Yang Tingfeng's heart was cold, and he had already moved the killing machine in his eyes: "After eight years of hibernation, you still can't hold it back after all." ”
Blood wolf barbarian!
As soon as the words fell, the dust rose and the earth roared.
The first war horse finally poked out, and immediately rode the general, who was tall and strong, holding a long halberd with a wolf's head, a scimitar at his waist, and a strong bow on his back. Wearing a black armor with a bear head pattern inside, two plates of armor with external panels, a rhino skin leg armor tied to the legs, and a yellow fox fur shawl armor on the shoulders.
The rider stands at the top of the road, let the wind and sand move.
After a while, the two sides of the cavalry kept galloping out of the barbarian cavalry, and finally, they were densely lined up in a straight line.
For a time, it was difficult to count the number of people who came.
Yang Tingfeng's heart sank, his eyesight was excellent, and he saw the big banner behind the rider at a glance
- There are streamers on the flag, the blue wolf is embroidered on the flag, the flame stripes are embroidered on the side of the flag, and in the center of the flag, the blood wolf Khan Hoixuan is impressively written
"Even the Blood Wolf Khan has come in person, it seems that it must be the main force of the barbarians!" Yang Tingfeng took a deep breath and knew that big trouble was coming.
After eight years in the army, I have already heard the habit of smelling blood wolves from the mouths of some veterans:
If there is no big sword, it is the blood wolf who sends a general to fight the grass valley (looting).
If you see Daxu, it will be a real decisive battle, and the result will be that both sides will lose 10,000 enemies and 8,000 themselves.
It seems that this blood wolf will not come, and as soon as it comes, it will be ready to start a battle for the ages.
In the distance, horns made of cow bones sounded like ghosts crying and screaming, followed by bursts of deafening screams......
"A beacon fire must be lit!" Yang Tingfeng bit his silver teeth, suddenly turned around, and kicked the wall, like a goshawk flying against the waves, ready to go to the stage to light the beacon fire to warn.
However, at this moment, only the sound of the "Peng" string sounded, and the man secretly screamed "not good" in his heart, and volleyed the clouds and moons, and narrowly avoided the incoming arrows in the lightning and stone fire.
The rider saw that Yang Tingfeng was able to avoid the arrows, and secretly admired in his heart.
At that moment, the longbow was raised, and the barbarian cavalry behind them were instructed, and they all pulled out horned bows from their backs, wound their arrows, and the black arrows were aimed at the entire beacon tower.
"Put!" The rider waved his hand and shouted at the sandwind.
"Peng", "Peng", "Peng"! The dense rain of arrows shot at the beacon tower like meteors, and the fierce roar pierced the dull silence of the mountains.
In the face of the all-pervasive rain of arrows, even Yang Tingfeng could no longer go to the beacon tower.
He was a decisive person, and when he swept his feet, a pair of zipline grappling hooks popped out of the cuff of his left hand "poof", using the beacon tower as the fulcrum, and his body continuously changed more than a dozen ways in the air to avoid the rain of arrows, and the people in the wind and lightning had stepped on horseback.
It seems that he is preparing to go to the Zisai main formation in person to warn.
However, at that moment, I suddenly heard a wail, and my war horse had been pierced through the chest by a fierce arrow, and it fell to the ground in an instant, and its breath was in and out.
The wailing of horses echoed in heaven and earth.......
