Volume 4: The Year of the Curtain Chapter 36 The Blue Lake Is Near

The wasteland where the Golden Horde is located has a relatively good climate, fertile water and grass, many cattle and sheep, multiplication, thousands of years, and the population is gradually dense, forming more than 20 large tribes, and the elite cavalry directly under the royal court has nearly 100,000 people, and the strength is very strong.

Except for the Tang Dynasty, no country is the opponent of the Golden Horde, and it is precisely because the Tang Dynasty has stubbornly pressed the Golden Horde on the wasteland for hundreds of years that the Central Plains countries will gradually forget the existence of the Golden Horde, so that the Southern Jin Dynasty dares to claim to be the second most powerful country in the world.

Even the Tang Dynasty, the Golden Horde Court is also a combination of appeasement, and is unwilling to start a full-scale war, when the Tang Dynasty princess Li Yu married far away in the wasteland, although the main purpose is to avoid the chaos caused by Qin Tianjian's criticism, it also proves the importance of the Golden Horde in the eyes of the Tang people.

Ning Que had dealt with the cavalry of the Golden Horde and the horse thieves who pretended to be cavalry for many years, and he knew very well the strength of the barbarians in this wasteland - except for those extremely fierce and amazing cavalry, the more than ten high priests supported by the royal court all had cultivation close to or even reached the realm of knowing fate.

Therefore, although he knew that the Golden Horde Court did not believe in Haotian and did not have the legend of the invasion of the underworld, he still maintained a high level of vigilance when the black carriage walked on this wasteland.

In the swamp with Ye Hongyu, Ning Que was seriously injured and was slowly recuperating, Sang Sang used magic techniques, Haotian Shenhui lost a lot, and the cold aura in his body became more and more impatient, and even the Dharma was about to be suppressed, coughing very badly, and his body was getting colder and colder.

He was very worried about Sangsang's body, and he was also worried about those who were chasing Sangsang, observing the traces and ruts, he confirmed. There are already many practitioners of the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, who have come to the wasteland.

Luckily, for several days after leaving the swamp, the sky over the wasteland was overcast, and the dark clouds that had been following Sangsang blended into it, making it difficult to tell. In the early spring of the wasteland, many birds flew from the Minshan Mountains and several counties in the north of the Tang Dynasty, and the black crows no longer looked so dazzling.

Ning Que formed grass vines. Hanging densely around the carriage, a little camouflage, and using gray powder rock meltwater into mud, the big black horse was made a mess, and with the blessing of heaven to hide his whereabouts, he continued to sneak eastward.

One day, Sang Sang sensed that more than ten miles behind him, a cultivator was chasing after him.

Ning Que looked at the reckless plains ahead. Unable to hide, he drove the carriage to a pile of rubble to the south of the road, and continued to hide, which was a good ambush spot if discovered.

The first to come to this wilderness was not those cultivators who chased and killed Sangsang, but more than a hundred grassland cavalrymen, looking at the soft armor worn by those cavalrymen, and a light chariot at the back of the team, Ning Que's expression was slightly grim. Judging that this cavalry should be the elite directly under the royal court, the people on the light chariot are very likely to be priests.

A moment later, three cultivators rode up, and in the northern wilderness of the chaotic stone pile, they met the elite cavalry directly under the Golden Horde, the three cultivators were carrying Dao swords, they should have come from the Dao Gate, but I don't know if they were the priests of the Xiling Temple, or the guest in a certain Taoist temple in the world.

Ning Que couldn't hear what they said, but he looked at the postures and expressions of the three cultivators and the posture of those steppe cavalrymen lifting the reins. I knew that these three cultivators perfectly demonstrated the demeanor of the cultivators towards ordinary people, that is, pride, indifference and contempt, and they couldn't help but be silent, knowing that there was a battle soon.

The barbarians of the wasteland have three royal courts, among which the right tent royal court believes in Buddhism and is not aggressive, and the left tent royal court faces the threat of the desolate people going south. Therefore, he was forced to fight side by side with the coalition forces of the Central Plains many times, but only the Golden Horde was the strongest in itself, and he never hesitated to show his hostility to the Central Plains.

If it is said that ordinary people will have some kind of natural awe for practitioners. These cavalry of the Golden Horde Court obviously didn't, but they only heard a whistle, and dozens of cavalrymen kicked their horses' bellies, left the camp, and rushed towards the three cultivators like lightning, and the boxwood hardwood bow in their hands was already tense and ready to be shot.

The three Taoist cultivators have been practicing in the Central Plains Taoist Temple all the year round, and they are deeply respected and loved by the ordinary people, where did they ever think that ordinary people would dare to shoot at themselves, and they were suddenly furious, and as soon as they pinched the sword trick, the Dao sword in the sheath behind them suddenly rose, and with the fierce wind on the wasteland, they stabbed down in an instant.

Ning Que looked at the sword light, and then he knew that these three cultivators were all masters of the Cave Xuan Realm, and one of them had even reached the peak of the Cave Xuan, no wonder he was still so tough in the wasteland.

Looking at the light chariot at the back of the cavalry team, he still didn't think that these three Dao Sect powerhouses could win this elite of the hundred cavalry, you must know that this is the Golden Horde Court, not the Central Plains where cultivators can be proud at will.

The dozens of cavalrymen who stayed in place were the first to shoot arrows, and the feather arrows rained down on the three cultivators, and one of the cultivators recalled the Dao sword and laid a sword curtain in front of him, blocking most of the feather arrows, but immediately after, those cavalrymen drew their short spears from the saddle, and threw them again.

The weight of the short Yu far exceeds that of the feather arrows, and dozens of short Yu break through the air, and the momentum is quite amazing.

The cultivator pinched his sword and slashed in the air, but he could no longer cut down these short spears as easily as he had resisted the feather arrows before, and even the Dao sword trembled when it was hit.

There were more than a dozen muffled sounds, and a hard short spear was thrust into the wasteland ground.

One of them plunged into the belly of a horse that a practitioner was riding, and the horse neighed and jumped in pain, instantly knocking the practitioner off.

The leader of the cavalry shouted, and the dozens of cavalry who stayed in place also joined the charging team, and the dozens of cavalry who charged away at the beginning were extremely fast, and they had already reached the front of the three cultivators.

The three Daomen powerhouses looked abrupt, and their mental power rushed out, and for a while they saw the sword light running vertically and horizontally, and there were constantly cavalry falling off their horses, or the war horses neighed and fell, but the power of the Dao sword was limited after all, and even sometimes it could only cut a small hole in the leather armor, and many cavalry were hiding in the belly of the horse, even if the flying sword was difficult to stab.

The distance of dozens of zhang seemed to be extremely long, but it was very short for the cavalry of the Golden Horde, and in the time of a few breaths, more than a hundred cavalry surged over like several waves, instantly drowning the three cultivators.

Only a few clean and neat knife sounds were heard, blood flew sideways, the royal court cavalry spread out, and the three Dao Sect powerhouses in the center of the field fell to the ground, having turned into corpses.

The Dongxuan peak powerhouse, covered in blood, was lying between the new grasses, holding a thing in each hand, holding a means to save his life in his right hand, and holding a fireworks communication device in his left hand. According to the agreement, if he saw Ning Que and the daughter of the Hades, he would turn on this device and notify the army.

However, whether it was a means of saving his life or a fireworks, he didn't have time to turn it on, and he was killed by these royal court cavalry like wolves, you can imagine how quickly this qiē happened.

The royal court cavalry cleaned up the battlefield, and then left quickly, looking at the number of corpses on horseback, there were probably only a dozen people who died under the flying swords of the three cultivators.

......

......

A chance encounter in the wasteland turned into a sudden battle, and the three Cave Xuan Realm cultivators, facing more than a hundred royal court cavalry, did not seem to have any ability to resist, and were killed cleanly.

The black carriage came out of the pile of rocks and turned southward, Ning Que thought about the bloody battle that had suddenly begun and ended suddenly, and after thinking silently for a moment, he once again confirmed a point.

Non-martial arts practitioners, if they do not enter the demon, or advance to know their fate, will never be the opponent of the army.

This conclusion is very different from the impression of most ordinary people in the world, but it is true, because practitioners have a weakness that cannot be resolved, and that is their body.

A cultivator's body is as weak as an ordinary person's body, and the same is true for advancing to the realm of knowing fate, whether it is a feather arrow or a scimitar, they can harvest their lives lightly, not to mention the ten thousand arrows when the two armies are fighting each other, or those terrifying catapults and ballistae during siege battles.

More importantly, cultivators use the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to control the natal flying sword, and the killing range of the flying sword is limited by the mental power range dù, and the vast majority of flying swords cannot exceed the range of the feather arrow.

Moreover, if the flying sword wants to break through all kinds of armor, it needs to be sharpened extremely sharp, and it must not be too thin to avoid damage to itself after breaking the armor, so it is extremely difficult to cast.

This is exactly why ordinary cultivators don't dare to confront the country at all, and they have to serve the imperial courts of various countries, which is also why in the traditional concept, there must always be a warrior close attendant by the side of the sword master.

When Ning Que was in the army in Weicheng, he basically never met a cultivator, let alone fought with a cultivator, but he remembered General Ma's expression when he told the story on the battlefield after drinking too much.

General Ma's attitude was very contemptuous, he believed that cultivators alone were strong, but they were not of much use on the battlefield, so he was not surprised by the outcome of today's battle between cultivators and the army.

But the process of the battle surprised him a little - the royal court priest in the light chariot never made a move, and the cavalry simply and neatly completed the battle, turning the three cultivators into dead corpses.

The elite cavalry of the Golden Horde Court was indeed still so powerful, even more powerful than in previous years. He looked out the window at the scenery that was gradually becoming a little familiar, and his expression was slightly heavy.

The untimely death of his heroic predecessor, Jin Yu, Li Yu's man and Xiao Man's father, was not necessarily a good thing, and his younger brother took over Shan Yu's position, and now it seems that Yu possessed as much wisdom and talent as his brother, who was rumored to have more ambitions.

Ning Que is a Tang person, and he is a Tang soldier who has been stationed in the frontier for many years, although he is fleeing with Sangsang at this time, he still can't help but start worrying about the situation in the northern border of the Tang Dynasty.

Sang Sang looked at the wasteland scenery outside the window, his little face was slightly red, and said, "It looks a little familiar, have we been here before?"

Ning Que glanced out the window and said, "I took you here once before, and if you go south, it's Subi Lake." ”
