Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Battle of the Giant Snake Gorge

The night horse galloped, lured the army first, and was picked up by the Qi army.

Takayanagi personally led the troops and came in two teams, three thousand in the front and five thousand in the rear.

The front team was led by General Gao Liang, and the soldiers went to the first two miles of the Giant Snake Gorge, Gao Liang stopped the army from moving forward, listened attentively for a moment, and the suspicion in his heart rose, "There should be a fight and screams at this time, why is it so quiet? Could it be that Qi Xu has broken through?" He transferred a ten-person team to investigate, but this team never returned, like a mud cow into the sea, and there was no news. ”

He sent another team of 100 men to investigate, and the results were no different.

Gao Liang doesn't believe in evil, "I don't believe that Qi Xu really has such a god, and he can still counteract under this kind of decline, the sword and shield are in front of the line, and the open fire is in charge." The whole army pressed on. ”

Three thousand soldiers and horses marched in a march, lined up at the entrance of the giant snake canyon, looking at the dark gorge, and made the archers send arrows to test it.

The arrows rained down and did not make a sound.

Gao Liang stepped forward, stood behind the sword and shield queue, and shouted loudly, "Qi Xu, I know that you are hiding inside, your strength is not enough to fight with me, Gao Mou respects you as a hero, come out and talk about it!"

The night wind in the gorge whined, and no one heard the word.

Gao Liang laughed and said loudly again, "Qi Xu, what is your intention to leave your post without permission and kidnap people? Don't you care about the family of Qi Mansion? The old general only has you, the only son, if you have three longs and two shorts, the old general will not be able to enjoy a few years of longevity!"

There was still silence on the other side.

Gao Liang sneered twice, "Qi Xu, even if you are ruthless, you can really bear it!"

When the sword and shield archers were ordered to form a team of 500 people into the canyon ditch, this team of men and horses went to the middle section, and the Qi Xu tribe suddenly appeared, and the high gorge base stones and rolling logs fell, and this team of men and horses screamed miserably, and the casualties were exhausted.

Gao Liang's eyebrows were raised, and he pulled his horse close to the entrance, "General Qi, I don't expect you to give up the danger here, but this ambush is only used once, do you plan to spend it like this?"

A person walked out of the canyon ditch, avoided the corpse on the ground, jumped on a rock in the middle, and the fire jumped, vaguely Qi Xu.

He looked at Gao Liang with a solemn expression, "General Gao, is Fancheng going to rebel?"

Gao Liangpi said with a smile, "What did General Qi say, the last general is just here to ask for hostages, General Qi must not refuse!"

Qi Xu snorted coldly, "If I don't agree, what will General Gao do?"

Gao Liang snorted, "General Qi is a person who understands, and the concubine's nest is the ancestor of my clan, so the general can't take it away at will!"

Qi Xujun raised his eyebrows, his eyes were sharp, "So, for the sake of a mere concubine's nest, the Fancheng army is going to rebel?" he raised his voice, "If the Gao clan wants to rebel, do all the sergeants and generals in Fancheng have to rebel?"

The Fan Cheng army behind Gao Liang was as solemn as before, and did not react.

Qi Xu was anxious in his heart, and Gao Liang smiled, "General Qi, our army is under the orders of the national teacher, I'm afraid that General Qi himself doesn't know how to write the reverse characters?"

Qi Xu's voice was suspicious, "National Teacher, when will the National Teacher even have to touch his military power? Gao Liang, if he is bewitched by others, it is still too late to repent!"

Gao Liang's eyes were deep under the glitter of firelight, "General Qi, you and I are difficult to get along with each other after all, you are a famous general on the battlefield, Gao is willing to fight with you, how is the victory or defeat decided?"

Qi Xu responded happily, "Okay!"

Gao Liang raised his hand to signal the whole army to retreat a stone's throw away, gave up an open space, took a long hook knife, dismounted and waited for the battle.

Qi Xu walked out and stepped forward with a backhand gun to meet the battle.

The two looked at each other and did not give in to each other.

"Gao Liang, are you confident that you can make a few moves under me?"

"I admired the martial arts of the Qi family when I asked, so I specially practiced a set of sword techniques, let's try it!"

Qi Xu heard that his eyes were sharp, and the momentum of the spear was like a rainbow, his talent was outstanding and tempered for a long time, and his shot was both bold and exquisite.

There is a gap between life and death in the army, and it is actually worthy of fame.

He took a long breath and cheered up his spirit, his long hook knife originally had the characteristics of restraining the spear, not to mention that he transformed the Qi family's martial arts, and cooperated with the knife technique to try to take the lead.

Qi Xu and him slammed down a few moves, Fancheng Gao's family martial arts is true, but there is still a distance compared with Qi's, in previous years' military drills, Gao's has always lost to his brothers who died young, for Gao Liang, Qi Xu has some trust in his heart.

But at the moment, Gao Liang, who is not known in the Gao clan, actually has the power of a tiger and a bear, and his sword skills are very different, and he is really a fierce opponent, he was taken aback, and his heart became cautious.

Gao Liang attacked quickly, although he grabbed the offensive, but Qi Xu defended it in a mess, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

Suddenly, Qi Xu laughed, "I really think that Gao's martial arts have advanced by leaps and bounds, and it turns out that it is only a few moves...... his spear momentum, like a dragon turning over the river, from the attack gap of the long hook knife.

Gao Liang's offensive collapsed instantly, and he struggled to push back and retreat.

Almost at the same time, three powerful sharp arrows came through the wind, only striking Qi Xu's body.

Qi Xu's marksmanship changed and he opened two, and the last one brushed the door.

Gao Liang hurriedly retreated, shouting, "Shoot him with arrows!"

Qi Xu fixed his eyes and looked at it, but he had already crossed the distance of an arrow, and he was within the range of fire.

Fan Chengjun had already buckled the arrow, and the arrow was pointed at him.

"You have arrows, don't we have arrows?" Yan Yuran flashed to Qi Xu's side, holding a bowstring, but the arrow was aimed at Gao Liang, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "General Gao, do you want to exchange your life for your life?"

Gao Liang stared at the dark arrow in his hand, and his feet moved down, slowly retreating towards the army.

Yan smiled slightly, gestured to Qi Xu, and escorted him to retreat towards the canyon ditch.

Laugh at~~

I didn't want someone in the Fan Cheng army to ignore Gao Liang's life and death, and still released arrows, Yan also unceremoniously wanted to pay back, but his hand was just strong, and the bow was broken, and he was stunned for a while.

Qi Xu reacted quickly, the spear was thrown out, his arm strength was infused, and the spear went straight to the person who released the arrow, and the man raised his shield to block, but it was still difficult to escape the end of the shield being broken and the person killed.

When Fan Chengjun saw him so brave, they were all shocked. Dumbfounded as the two of them retreated to the canyon ditch.

"Gao Liang, you are just a chess piece, and your life is not as valuable as you imagined. Qi Xu coldly stimulated Gao Liang.

Yan Fangcai broke his bow because of his unstable control, and felt that he had lost face in front of the battle, so he picked a piece of stone the size of a fingernail and said, "General Gao, the young general wants to spare your life, if you don't know what to do, you will be like this." ”

"Snap" the flying stone hit Gao Liang's helmet, and the top tassel was cut off.

The base of this tassel is cast of iron, cut smooth and smooth by thinly cut stones, and its technique is precise and its strength is fierce, which is shocking.

Gao Liang's face alternated between blue and white, and he was silent for a while.

The two retreated to their original places and stuck to the high places, and Gao Liang's Fan Cheng army did not dare to advance.

"What about now? Major General, whether you are fighting or retreating, is it really as Gao Liang said? ”

Qi Xu groaned, "If you give up this pass, the Fancheng army will pursue our army, and there will be no danger ahead, and it will inevitably lose." ”

The generals responded, "Yes, if we fight hard, not to mention the heavy casualties, I am afraid that we will miss the major affairs of the major general, it is better to let the unled team stay here for the use of doubtful soldiers, and the major general is in a hurry." ”

"I don't know where my 3,000 men and horses are going, but Fancheng's troops have not lost much, Gao Liu is not a coward, and the suspicious soldiers can't delay much. ”

Yan heard the argument and leaned forward, "Is the young general playing tricks to cut off the troops of Fancheng?"

Qi Xu saw that he looked good-looking, obviously he had a plan in his chest, he thought for a moment, "Xiao Yan, if this battle starts, the dead and wounded are all Dongyu soldiers, and it is still Dongyuzhou Guoben who moves, the so-called relatives and enemies are fast, and the original intention is to capture the thief and capture the king first, but Gao Liu's slippery tail is difficult to succeed, and now he only asks if there is a good way to block the Fancheng army, our army has only passed the mountain, and the Fancheng army will not dare to chase again." ”

Yan glanced at him ambiguously, "I don't have a good plan, but blocking the army and cutting off the road is a trivial matter, and the young general just has to go first." ”

Qi Xu raised his eyebrows, "Yan, are you really sure?"

Yan grinned, "You can't trust me, do you want me to make a military order?"

Qi Xu looked at him deeply, "You can stop him for a day, I will leave you the best war horse, and once it is successful, catch up with me as soon as possible." ”

Yan said angrily, "What kind of war horse do you want, no matter how fast the horse is, it can't be faster than my two legs, so leave it to me." ”

Qi Xu deployed the whole army, led his troops to Kyoto, and when he crossed the Giant Snake Gorge, he suddenly heard a loud bang behind him, looked back, and saw that the two walls of the canyon were broken down by several dry square earth and stones, rolling down, blocking the gorge, and smiled bitterly in astonishment, "This guy ......"

Qi Xu saw that all his subordinates were also surprised, raised his whip and smiled, and took the lead in galloping, "Xiao Yan is really brave, presumably Gao Liu also received the battle report." ”
