Tianjiao was born Chapter 22 Encountered an ambush
Qinglong Canyon is more than 20 miles deep. From afar, its winding, steep and deep strata are stacked on top of each other like billions of books; With the twists and turns of the Grand Canyon, it resembles a link, winding and fluttering on the land.
After Zhu Cuixian and the Ice Jade Fairy rendezvous, it took two days to come to this canyon on the border between Mongolia and Jilin.
"After the Qinglong Gorge, go east for another 70 miles, and you will enter the boundary under the jurisdiction of the Liao King." The Ice Jade Fairy said happily.
"This time I underestimated Dugu Xiaotian and didn't get all the treasures, it's really hateful!" Zhu Cuixian said with annoyance.
The Ice Jade Fairy hurriedly comforted, "Don't blame yourself, you can't imagine that in addition to the 'Five Divine Powers of the World', there are such peerless masters!" "According to the inquiry, this kid came out of the fishing village, and his father went to the West with Song Qingfeng, the current head of Wudang, and that's it! ”
"Well, it must be that Song Qingfeng who secretly taught their father and son the true biography of Wudang!" Zhu Cuixian muttered two sentences softly. "This person is about the same age as me, and his martial arts practice to this level is also extremely good." She couldn't help but blush when she heard the scene of her fists hitting each other that day.
While speaking, more than 1,000 people and horses from the Liao Wangfu had already entered the canyon and walked for more than two miles.
"Stop", Zhu Cuixian suddenly snorted. "Master, I'm a little uneasy at this time. Have the spies ahead already figured out a way out? ”
"An hour ago, the scouts had just returned and there was no obstacle ahead to pass through the canyon safely. On both sides of the canyon, light masters were also sent to investigate, but there was no trace. ”
"There are occasional birds flying in the canyon, why don't you see one today?" Zhu Cuixian asked in a deep voice. The Ice Jade Fairy was speechless.
"Column shields, roll mines ready!" The cavalry in front received the order and took out the talisman iron shield from the horse, and dozens of infantry soldiers of the Chinese army opened several large boxes accompanying them
A moment later, dust billowed from behind, and the sound of horses' hooves could be faintly heard.
"There are pursuers in the rear, county lord, let's hurry forward and rush through the canyon and enter the realm of King Liao, General Song is already preparing to meet us at the border." The Ice Jade Fairy said urgently.
"Master, don't panic, there must be a very powerful ambush ahead!" Zhu Cuixian bit his silver teeth, "All the troops listen to the order, follow me to repel the pursuers in the rear" After that, he turned his horse's head and led the army to run towards the entrance of Qinglong Gorge.
When I arrived at a place half a mile away from the entrance of the canyon, I saw a young general in silver helmet and silver armor, with a horse and a spear, majestic and majestic.
There were hundreds of cavalry troops behind him to hold him down.
The young general shouted: "Zhu Cuixian, I, Li Tianba, have long wanted to learn your Snow Flower Divine Sword, kill the hatred of my soldiers, I will teach you to pay for your blood debt today!" ”
"Shoot the arrows!" He shouted, and the arrows of the rear army rained down and shot at the army of the Liao Wangfu.
"Dismount, stand shield! Cover your mouth and nose with a medicated cloth. Zhu Cuixian shouted.
The cavalry in the front row dismounted one after another, formed a three-row shield formation, and stopped most of the strong bows and crossbows that came from them. Only a few dozen people were wounded by arrows.
The soldiers of the Liao Wangfu led by Zhu Cuixian all took out special potion silk scarves from their waists and covered their mouths and noses.
"Put 'rolling mines', take out poisoned smoke arrows, and shoot them at the enemy line!" Zhu Cuixian snorted.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" Several big men in the army threw more than ten spherical objects into Li Tianba's military array.
"Cavalry retreat! Defend Taniguchi! Li Tianba shouted loudly and jumped into the air to stop the round ball flying in the air.
A frightening leap crossed the sky, Zhu Cuixian made a move "Flying Immortals Outside the Sky", and the long sword arrived in front of Li Tianba like a meteor catching the moon. Li Tianba had no choice but to raise his gun to greet him. "Dangdang" sounded a few times, and the two fought in one place.
More than a dozen round balls fell to the ground and exploded, and for a time pieces of iron flew sideways and poisonous smoke scattered.
Fortunately, Li Tianba's cavalry retreated three feet back, otherwise he would have suffered heavy casualties at this moment.
Li Tianba's army first shot the formation with a strong bow, and this 'rolling mine' was thrown by the strong man in the army with his arm strength, and he couldn't go far.
The 'rolling mines' were not thrown into the dense area of the Zhenwei army, but only caused a little confusion in the front of the Zhenwei army.
Tang Qing, the deputy general of the Zhenwei Army, shouted: "Quickly stick the saliva with a cloth and seal your mouth and nose!" The soldiers hurriedly tore off the cloth on their bodies, moistened them with saliva, and sealed their mouths and noses.
The Ice Jade Fairy shouted loudly and commanded the cavalry to charge, and the infantry army unleashed poisonous smoke arrows. "Whoosh" More than 20 poisonous smoke arrows shot into the Zhenwei army array, and the two sides instantly added white blades and fought together.
"One row, put it!" The voice of General Chi Tianhai sounded, and three columns of musketeers rushed over from both sides of the canyon and began to fire downward.
"Second row, put it!"
"Three rows, put!"
The muskets of "bang bang bang" did not stop, and the rear army of the Liao king's army and horse suffered heavy casualties......
In the early morning of the next day, the poplar forest outside Zhangbei County.
Li Tianba took stock of the men and horses, and at this time there were more than 500 people in the Zhenwei army, and many of them were slightly injured.
"I didn't expect Zhu Cui Xiangui to be the county lord, and he is so capable of leading the army to fight!" Li Tianba sighed.
"She only needs to advance another 5 miles, enter the range of our red-coated cannon, and discipline her to ashes!" Chi Tianhai said fiercely.
Li Tianba shook his head, "Zhu Cuixian is the supreme master of the world, and her perception of danger is extremely keen, she will not enter the range of the cannon." The poisonous firearms they prepared were so powerful that they didn't completely block the valley and let them rush out. Our army lost more than 200 people. ”
"Hmph, most of the soldiers of the Liao Wangfu were killed and wounded, and only more than a hundred people escaped, this battle can be described as a complete victory, the young master does not have to blame himself, you have avenged the dead brothers!" Chi Tianhai persuaded. "Most of the treasures recovered, we have already made it worthwhile!"
Li Tianba looked at the northeast direction, was silent for a long time, and shouted: "Let's rush to Datong tomorrow and make a detour back to Guangxi!" ”
"Obey!" The soldiers agreed with a bang.
"'Northern Immortal' is not only a world-renowned martial artist, but also resourceful, and is really my great enemy in life! This time, it was only by relying on the more elite sergeants of our general's mansion that we were able to win narrowly. Li Tianba secretly thought.
In the small valley next to Wulan County, Dugu Xiaotian, the beggar gang, and the Wudang faction have gathered here for three days.
In the afternoon of this day, the spies brought back the latest news, and everyone quickly gathered together to discuss.
"Smack" Qiao Wanyun slapped the table angrily. "Shen Wang Zhu Mo arrested more than 200 beggars in the Shenyang Acropolis and tortured them every day, this is to force us to hand over the treasure!"
Jin Linfeng sighed when he heard this: "King Shen is covering the sky in the northeast with one hand, and he is rampant, even if we get the treasure, we can't use it!" ”
Zhou Yunbi and Song Shuling were also silent, their brows were tightly locked, and they couldn't think of any good way to get through the current difficulties for a while.
Dugu Xiaotian slowly stood up, walked to Qiao Wanyun's death, "plopped" to his knees, and kowtowed.
Qiao Wanyun was startled, and hurriedly helped Dugu Xiaotian up, "Brother, why are you doing this great gift!" ”
"Brother Yi, Xiaotian is ready to enter King Shen's mansion at night, assassinate the traitorous king, eliminate harm for the people, and avenge the righteous men who died!" Dugu Xiaotian paused and continued, "If the traitor king is removed, he can use some money to rescue the beggar brothers in the prison, and take out the treasure and use it for the poor people." ”
"Regardless of the success of this trip, I will draw a clear line with my righteous brother from now on to prevent my righteous brother from being implicated by me! There are very few people in the rivers and lakes who know that you and I are worshipping, and I hope you will keep it secret! ”
"Brother, you look down on your big brother!" Qiao Wanyun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said angrily.
Zhou Yunbi hurriedly persuaded, "Xiaotian doesn't have to be like this, few people know about you and Xie Gang Master's worship, we won't publicize it in the future, you two are still good brothers!" "As for entering the palace at night and assassinating King Shen, the chain is very wide, and it is absolutely impossible. We took the treasure to the capital, and found a way to inform the emperor and present the treasure to the imperial court. In order to solve the current difficulties of beggars and gangs, this is the best policy. ”
Xiao Tian shook his head when he heard this, "Once the gold and silver treasures have entered the imperial treasury, they will not be used on the displaced suffering people in the north!" ”
"I've made up my mind! I have no father or mother, and I am alone. Even if you wander the world and die in a foreign land, you are just waiting for idle things! ”。
Everyone was silent for a while when they heard this, and Song Shuling looked at the lonely and stubborn figure blankly, and her eyes were covered with a layer of mist.
