Chapter 167: Capture the thief and capture the king first

During the lurking period of the army of the king of Zhennan, the whole army was silent and was not allowed to move around casually, in case the king of Baocheng Tanma knew that there was an ambush here.

Wan Yanxi's perception is keen, but her range is limited after all, she is blind and can neither see nor perceive from a distance, it all depends on Gu Shengchao's detailed explanation.

She worried: "Although it is a good idea to attack halfway, the enemy can only be effective when they attack head-on, and only in this way can they not retreat from the front, and the large group of men and horses will swarm up from behind, and in the confusion they will trample on each other and mess up their own positions." Right now, we are in the same direction as King Baocheng, if we chase them, of course, we can win, but the results will be greatly reduced, and if we don't get King Baocheng, we will also take advantage of the chaos to escape. ”

"So what to do?" Gu Shengchao agreed with her inference.

"How far is the place in front of you that can hide the soldiers and horses from the river?" Wan Yanxi asked.

Gu Shengchao looked at it from afar: "There are bushes to hide two miles away, it seems that only about 100 people can be hidden, and it is too far away from the river bank, it is estimated that there is no threat." ”

Wan Yanxi thought for a while and said: "It should be enough, ambush the horse team there, drag branches behind each horse, and wait for the army of King Baocheng to cross the river, let's beat the drum here and let them run over there." In the dusty atmosphere, the enemy soldiers did not dare to move forward, as long as the vanguard stopped, the rear crowded forward, and in the confusion it would be congested in the middle of the river. If they can't run, we can surround them and annihilate them. ”

Everyone felt that it made sense when they heard it, so Shui Linglong suggested to the king of Zhennan.

After discussing with his subordinates, the king of Zhennan adopted Wan Yanxi's opinion, and waited for the king of Baocheng to repeatedly inspect the horse and return to report the news, and ambushed a cavalry of more than 100 people in the woods on the other side of the river.

At dawn, King Baocheng's brigade came to the river.

The footsteps of the soldiers and the trampling of the horses shook the earth and shook it up and down.

King Baocheng stopped in the center of the army, and someone held high the banner behind him, among which the three big characters of "King Baocheng" fluttered in the wind.

Surrounded by masters of the rivers and lakes holding various blades, protecting him in the center.

King Baocheng's face was gloomy, and he looked at the other side of the river silently, so he waved his hand and ordered: "Cross the river at full speed, don't stop." ”

Everyone also knew about the crisis, and they were next to each other for fear of being left behind.

The water is from turbulent to gentle, and the river is naturally open, with three miles between the two banks.

The knee-deep water flowed through, and both horses and infantry had a hard time.

The vanguard came to the middle of the river, and suddenly there was a loud drum beat on the mountainside behind, and the trees in front of it were suddenly dusty, and a cavalry rushed towards the river bank with shouts of killing.

The army of King Baocheng retreated all the way from the capital, and it was already like a frightened bird, and the vanguard saw that there were officers and soldiers in front of them rushing to kill, and instinctively stopped, lest they die in vain.

Those behind heard the sound of drums and ran forward in a hurry, wanting to escape earlier.

The river was chaotic and congested together, and it was a dilemma.

There is no need for the opponent to attack, and his own people have already turned on their backs and messed up.

"Don't panic, stabilize first."

King Baocheng drew his sword and killed several retreating soldiers one after another, but the defeat was like a mountain, and his personal strength alone could not prevent the rout.

The soldiers in the panic scurried like headless flies, squeezing and trampling on each other. The crowd around King Baocheng became more and more crowded, and several times he almost threw him off his horse, and if he continued like this, not only could he not escape, but he would be trapped by the river.

"Lord Wang, go this way."

Seeing that the rout could not be stopped, and it would be difficult to protect himself if he delayed any longer, King Baocheng's personal guards fought a bloody way out of his own team, and everyone galloped along the river bank and fled downstream.

A group of men and horses rushed from the oblique spur, and they hurried to stop them in front of King Baocheng.

"King Baocheng, if you can't escape, just tie your hands and arrest it!" Gu Shengchao took the lead in the front of the team.

Shui Linglong, Wan Yanxi and Ma Guanshan, as well as the many masters who came to support Yunqi Palace one after another, were eyeing each other and ready to fight at any time.

"Die!"

King Baocheng rode out of the team, holding a long lance and stabbing towards the ancient saint.

When the lance approached, Gu Shengchao was worried that he would be hurt by stepping off his mount BMW chasing the wind, so he jumped into the air and stepped on the red tassel on the lance, and his body swept across his left hand and used the phoenix dance sword technique to slash at the opposite door.

The man's lance was too late to defend himself outside, so he had to throw away his lance and pull out the saber at his waist.

As soon as he pulled out half of his saber, the ancient saint super sword had arrived, and with a "swish", half of his head was cut off and planted from the horse.

Gu Shengchao stepped on the saddle and jumped towards King Baocheng with his strength.

Others are in the air, the wind howling in their ears.

Turning his head to look, a pair of maces smashed into his head.

He twisted his body, and the tip of his sword bounced off his mace to the side, looking embarrassed, and getting closer and closer to King Baocheng.

A sword blocked the way, and finally stopped him.

The two of them were just about to make a killing move, but the figure of Gu Shengchao disappeared in front of them.

Gu Shengchao used the "Five Soul Array" kung fu and instantly shifted his position.

That night, the few of them worked together to deal with Yu Zhenyu, the head of the Tianqing Gang, although he had a treasure like the "Golden Silk Qingluan Armor" to protect his body, his lightning-like movement speed was unguardable.

Afterwards, the ancient saint pondered and meditated, and only the "Five Soul Array" could match it.

The "Five Soul Array" is the kung fu he taught after Lu Chuan rescued him after the fall of the Seven Star Cliff, and at that time, his dantian was damaged, and he just used the formation to replace the dantian to breathe out the true qi, so that the meridians could operate normally.

Outside the capital of the Dawu Dynasty, Lu Chuan demonstrated to him the correct use of the "Five Souls Array", and Lu Chuan, who was lame on his right leg, chased after Liao Weikang, the eastern envoy of the Wuwang Palace, and Lu Chuan, who was not dominant, caught up in an instant and controlled the other party to be unable to move, which made Gu Shengchao suddenly enlightened.

Especially when Lu Chuan broke the seven-star formation under the seven-star cliff, it seemed to be ordinary, but the other party just couldn't prevent it. Knowing what he's going to do, he is always half a beat slower defensively to give him the upper hand.

Since then, Gu Shengchao has been entangled in the "Five Soul Array" many times, and he has always been unable to find the best method that suits him, and he is at a loss in confusion.

Yu Zhenyu gave him inspiration, that is, speed.

The world's martial arts, only fast is not broken.

If you can do it yourself, why not use it?

Today's scuffle just gave him the opportunity to practice and verify his conjecture.

Gold begets water, water begets wood, wood begets fire, fire begets earth, and earth begets gold.

Jin Ke wood, wood Ke earth, earth Ke water, water Ke fire, fire Ke Jin.

The five elements are mutually reinforcing and endless.

With the help of the Five Elements Great Array, Gu Shengchao instantly moved between different points.

He didn't want to hurt anyone's life more, so he kicked this person in the ass, and without waiting for the person to come back to his senses, he had already gone to another person and clicked on his acupuncture points, making him unable to move.

One of the people next to him was about to raise a knife to cut him, but Gu Shengchao disappeared again and arrived in front of another person. A person suddenly appeared in front of him, startling the man, and throwing the blade in his hand aside, Gu Shengchao raised his foot and kicked him down.

Gu Shengchao found that the "Five Soul Array" was suitable for an open field, but if it was in a small room, it would not be able to be used.

He is at ease here, adapting to the formation and comprehending the mysteries.

Shui Linglong fought bravely to kill the enemy, and a sword danced superbly, and there were few opponents.

Ma Guanshan learned the "Iron Arm Divine Skill", a layer of light iron armor condensed on the surface of his skin, and his fists were like a pair of hammers, smashing all the way through.

In the melee, the enemy and me were entangled, Wan Yanxi's flying knife was useless, she held a scimitar in each hand, relying on super perception, harvesting the opponent's head one by one.

The rest of the people in Yunqi Palace also rushed forward, not afraid of life and death and the bloody battle under King Baocheng.

In this way, although Gu Shengchao had an advantage in the situation, he did not have many opponents killed and injured.

In the chaotic battle, no one can tell whether the other party is pointed at acupuncture points, or waiting for the opportunity to sneak attack others, as long as there is a chance, they will be killed.

Gu Shengchao kept moving, originally wanting the few people guarding King Baocheng's side to rush out and kill him, so that it would be convenient to capture King Baocheng.

The prime minister's secret letter said that he could not hurt King Baocheng, and he had to capture him alive, which was difficult.

The few people guarding King Baocheng's side were not fooled, and they would never take the initiative to attack even if the battle situation was unfavorable, leaving others with no chance.

Since they don't come out, force them to come out.

Gu Shengchao stabbed at a person with a sword, and the person waved his sword to resist with an expressionless face, and the two people around him cooperated tacitly and stabbed Gu Shengchao with their swords respectively.

The man next to him stabbed the air with a sword, and his eyes seemed to be in a trance, and Gu Shengchao and him were already standing face to face.

His sword was outside, so he had to swing his palm to strike, and Gu Shengchao hit his head a little and hit his nose with his head.

"Oops!"

The man had mixed tastes, and tears welled up in his nose.

He struck out with a slap but missed, Gu Shengchao returned to the person just now, and raising his hand was a slap.

"Smack!"

The man's eyes were full of stars, the sword had just been raised, and Gu Shengchao's knee should be pressed against his chest.

"Oh!"

The man let out a dull cry and fell to the ground.

The two people next to them didn't dare to fight alone, and attacked the ancient saint side by side.

The two of them only saw an afterimage, and Gu Shengchao passed between the two of them in advance and came to King Baocheng's side.

"Don't come nonsense, I'm the king of Baocheng." King Baocheng threatened.

The ancient saint went retrograde through the meridians and reached out to point at his acupuncture points, so that it would be difficult for others to unravel them.

The remaining few people stepped forward to snatch King Baocheng, Gu Shengchao raised his foot and kicked a few people away one by one, and the masters of Yunqi Palace who rushed to reinforce him were divided into corpses.

Seeing that Sheng captured King Baocheng, Shui Linglong was in a good mood, and gave a thumbs up to Gu Shengchao to express his affirmation, but unexpectedly, a mace swept behind him.

"Be careful!"

Gu Shengchao pushed away King Baocheng and rushed over with the "Five Soul Array", but he didn't have time to cross her, so he had to protect her behind her with his body.

Just raised his breath, the golden armor had not yet condensed and formed, and the mace had already smashed into the heart of the ancient saint.

"Bang!"

Gu Shengchao protected Shui Linglong and fell forward, and something in his belly rolled up and down, as if it was about to gush out.

"Shengchao, are you okay?" Shui Linglong was the first to stand up, and was a little scared when she saw his painful appearance.

"I'm fine." The corners of Gu Shengchao's mouth opened slightly, and blood flowed out.

Wan Yanxi also sensed that Gu Shengchao was injured, and shouted: "I'll kill you!" ”

Six throwing knives instantly plunged into the man's body from front to back, and he stepped forward and swung his scimitar to cut off the man's head.
