Chapter 1076: Xuantian Master
At Lu Hanjiang's insistence, the army changed the path, and An Mu also cheered up and sent almost all the scouts to start detecting the situation ahead without interruption.
Walking on this path, An Mu is face became worse the more he looked at it, the road in this place was long and narrow, the mountains were high and dense, and there were countless natural ambush points on both sides, once the enemy army was ambushed, it would be a great threat to them.
Fortunately, the city of the Northland was strong, and the large army of the Xuantian Sect could not easily move south, so even if there were ambushes, the number would not exceed a hundred, and even at best, there would only be dozens of people.
But An Mu didn't dare to be careless, he knew the skills of those knights, not to mention the high level of martial arts, the number of strange and strange martial arts paths was countless, and it was perfect for sneak attacks and assassinations.
The trail was narrow, and the army could not be used, so it could only move forward in a row of three or five with a long snake, and An Mu took his own soldiers to guard Lu Hanjiang's side, his hand did not leave his sword, and his eyes were serious.
Looking at An Mu's nervous expression, Lu Hanjiang said jokingly: "General An's performance like this is probably going to make the Xuantian Sect's thieves laugh, and this dignified teacher of the imperial court is so afraid of them." ”
An Mu smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, don't take pleasure in your humble position."
In fact, An Mu had already regretted it at this time, this choice was not because of his soft ears, nor because of the identity of Lu Hanjiang's grandson, although it was because His Royal Highness the grandson insisted on going his own way, but it was also indispensable to his own thoughts.
An Mu's age is not very large, he and Qi Yunzhou are the same age, and this time he can be elected as the commander of the first army to follow Lu Hanjiang to the north to quell the rebellion, which shows that his ability is recognized by the imperial court.
At this age, he can become the expectation of this counterinsurgency, An Mu's ability does not need to be questioned, of course, he also has his own pride, and in general, he does not look down on those rabble in the north.
So when Lu Hanjiang chose Hu Lai this time, An Mu only half-pushed and half-agreed on the spot, after all, he had great confidence in his ability to command troops, but after seeing the terrain here, his overheated mind was directly poured a basin of cold water.
An Mu, who regained his composure, found that he was simply dying, and he was foolproof, he had to jump into someone's trap with His Royal Highness Taisun, isn't it okay to find trouble.
But now it's too late to regret it, so he has to go down, An Mu's gaze keeps sweeping over the surrounding bushes, until he sees a cold glow.
It was just a glimpse of shock, which made An Mu's hair stand on end, and he shouted: "Protect Your Highness!" ”
As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen black-clothed people came out from both sides and fought with An Mu's personal guards, and in the blink of an eye, the sound of fighting shook the sky.
An Mu looked at these black-clothed men coldly, and while commanding the army to scatter and surround them, he continued to concentrate more guards around Lu Hanjiang to ensure the safety of His Royal Highness the most important Taisun.
In the dark, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, dressed in a black robe, indifferently watched the first wave of the attack being easily suppressed, and then waved his hand to let the second group continue to rush forward.
Beside him, the sheep protector who came with him said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, An Mu is very cautious, although I don't know why he chose to take the trail, but if he lets them consume it like this, I'm afraid it won't work." ”
The Sheep Protector also had a bit of a headache at the moment, they deliberately destroyed the righteous path with great fanfare, just to make An Mu and the others suspicious of the small path, so that they could act safely and repair the avenue, and then they took advantage of this time to find flaws and carry out a sneak attack.
But what he didn't expect was that this An Mu didn't know which one of his brains was wrong, and he knew that the path was wrong, and he actually crashed into it, which led to a big mess in the layout of the Xuantian Sect.
They were originally hiding in the trail looking for an opportunity, but now that An Mu's army drove in directly, they didn't have time to prepare at all, so they had to rush to kill the military formation.
Fortunately, the trail was long and narrow, they were caught off guard, and An Mu's army was also unable to be used, and the two sides were half a catty, but the personal guards arranged by An Mu were obviously good, and they could not break through several waves of offensives one after another.
Seeing that the war was likely to drag on into a protracted war, the Yang Protector was a little anxious: "Your Highness, we don't have many people, if we can't take him at this moment, then there will be no chance." ”
There is another sentence that the sheep protector didn't dare to say, if they retreat at this moment, I am afraid that it will be a luxury to even come again.
The prince was as good as a stream, so he immediately decided: "A few of you go and drag An Mu, it only takes a moment for the palace to succeed." ”
"Subordinates obey!"
After the sheep protector and the others responded, they immediately rushed out, and An Mu saw at a glance that these people were like bamboos and smashed into the military formation, and his eyes immediately froze: "What a powerful kung fu, it seems that the main master has arrived." ”
The Yang Protector was a few of the top masters in the Xuantian Sect, and the ordinary soldiers were not their opponents at all, and the defense line was quickly breached, and several people immediately killed An Mu.
The two generals around An Mu slapped their horses and killed them, intercepting two of them, and the rest of the guards stopped the other two, leaving a sheep protector who rushed straight to An Mu.
"Good thief!" An Mu held the horse rope, the horse under the seat neighed loudly, the front hooves were raised high and then rushed forward, only to see a little cold light in his hand, a silver spear stabbed out, and the sheep protector picked up the copper shovel to block, and was shocked to retreat again and again.
An Mu forced back the sheep protector with one shot, and immediately felt that something was wrong, a group of them were all centered on Lu Hanjiang, unless the other party was blind, how could he not see who was the key person in this army.
But even so, this group of people still came straight towards them, which was obviously wrong.
Suddenly, An Mu's heart was full of alarm bells, and after he shook his gun and swung away the sheep protector, he turned around and shouted: "There are still masters!" Your Highness, be careful! ”
An Mu immediately wanted to turn around and go to the guard, but the sheep protector was desperately entangled, and he had to watch the guess in his heart become a reality, and another man in black fell from the sky, spreading his wings and landing in front of Lu Hanjiang.
"Taisun? Hehe. ”
The black-robed man sneered, and then held up a palm and shot it backwards, and his true qi set off a terrifying wind and waves, knocking all the guards who rushed forward to the ground.
This person glanced at Lu Hanjiang, who had no more guards around him, and then closed his palms, only to see a fierce wind sweeping in, this black-robed man was like the eye of the storm, in the roar, dozens of thunderbolts flashed, the ground under his feet instantly collapsed, and the red rays flashed wildly in the roaring wind and waves, and the tongue of fire flew out.
Seeing that this person's martial arts were so high, An Mu was shocked, and with a shot in his hand, he pierced the sheep protector through his heart, and was about to turn around to save him, but he was grabbed by the other party's arms.
"You!" An Mu stared at the sheep protector like a cannibal, but even if the other party was bleeding, he never let go of his hand.
Here, the black-robed man had already gathered a terrifying true qi in his palm, and with a broken drink, he pushed with both palms, and in an instant, the earth under his feet was like an erupting volcano, the earth collapsed and the mountains were destroyed, the smoke and gunpowder were obscure, and the terrifying red wind and waves turned into a sky-rushing python, roaring towards Lu Hanjiang.
"Your Highness!" An Mu shouted anxiously.
In the face of the surging weather waves, Lu Hanjiang raised his hand and flicked it, and the roaring red python was directly slapped into starry dust in the sky, and the rolling true qi was like hitting a copper wall, and it was impossible to cross the thunder pool at all.
Only the grass, trees, sand and stones in the sky fell quietly, Lu Hanjiang reached out and grabbed a residual leaf, and with a flick of his fingers, the head of the black-robed man suddenly exploded into countless pieces, and after a few breaths, the tall figure fell straight backwards.
"How, how is it possible" Seeing this scene, the sheep protector who was still desperately supporting was suddenly like a deflated ball, his trembling hand slowly let go, and his round eyes were full of horror and horror.
Seeing this, An Mu decisively raised his gun and refilled it on the opponent's chest, and then quickly rushed back to Lu Hanjiang's side.
"Your Highness!" An Mu came in a hurry, and when he saw that the other party was calm, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the headless black-robed corpse, and he was suddenly frightened.
His martial arts are not weak, but he still doesn't have any confidence in winning against this black-robed man, but with such an opponent, His Highness can be killed with a single hand, what kind of realm is this His Highness's martial arts.
On the battlefield at this moment, the victory or defeat has been clear, this black-robed man doesn't know what his identity is, but he must be a character like the backbone, as soon as he died, the rest of the masters of the Xuantian Sect were suddenly like losing their souls, and they were taken down after a while.
Lu Hanjiang looked down at the corpse and shook his head rather boredly: "It seems that the Xuantian Sect still has reservations, and it is estimated that this is the kind of demon general." ”
An Mu exclaimed, "Isn't this person the Xuantian Sect Master?" Such a terrifying martial art is not even the sect leader, this Xuantian Sect is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon! ”
Lu Hanjiang nodded: "Don't worry about these little minions, getting rid of the Xuantian Sect Master is the purpose of our trip, let's continue on the road." ”
"Yes!" An Mu received the order, and then ordered someone to throw the corpses of these Xuantian Sect masters on the ground to the side of the road, and the army restarted.
