Chapter Ninety-Four: Smoke Rises

The right general Huan Huo was dressed in heavy iron armor, revealing only a pair of sparkling eyes, nervously watching the strong soldiers of the Qin State in the distance and the strength of the army of the Qin State to press the border.

This is Huainan County and Yiyang County adjacent to the border of the Qin State stretching for hundreds of miles, but it is about to become a battlefield for the two countries to meet each other, but the strange thing is that the opposite Qin army looks menacing, but it has not launched an attack, the battle is not fighting, retreating and not retreating, and the life has made a procrastination, as if it is pinning down and watching the Jin army, Huan Huo has also done several tentative counterattacks to the opposite army, but they have been repelled by the Qin army with a deep ditch, and now the two sides have been facing each other for a long time。 Because behind him, is the army of the headquarters of the Great Sima stationed in Lujiang, if you don't eradicate the danger of these Qin army's advances, the Lujiang army can only be stationed here, and dare not go south, so that the various thieves who are rising and falling in the country will never be exterminated, it is difficult to say, whether this is the result of the collusion between the Qin State and the traitorous party in the country.

......

"Say!" Da Sima was also dressed in armor, sitting on pins and needles in the line in Shucheng, and when he saw the Tongyu Military Academy running into the military academy panting and hurrying, he had a premonition that it was not good news.

"The Yin family in Shaoling has sent troops, numbering nearly 10,000 people, and they are going straight to Jiankang City along the Yangtze River waterway. ”

"A declining family that has lost power for a long time, how many times has it been able to raise so many private soldiers?" Da Sima's face sank like water, his chin and short beard trembled slightly, obviously his heart was extremely angry, he could not say that he was not wary of the old political enemy of the Yin family, but the sudden news still shocked him, he turned his head and asked the sharp webbing evil crane Pang Pu, two years ago he had sent him and a few other swordsmen to monitor for a long time, why didn't he see the clues? Could it be that these nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses were conjured out of nothing?

Pang Pu knew that Da Sima was not hesitating, not only because he heard that the Yin family sent troops, the news from these days was not very good, Sima Xi, the king of Wuling, openly rebelled, the Yingchuan Yu family rebelled, and thousands of Central Plains Liukou sneaked into the south, causing the defenders of Qingxu to be difficult to take care of, and the pain was unspeakable.

"The Yin family is involved in demons and ghosts, and there are people in the Demon Dao to deal with it, so don't worry about Huan Gong. ”

At present, the atmosphere of the Great Sima Shogunate is very strange, the first to deal with the matter of demons and ghosts, but now he never mentions demons and ghosts, all of them are judged to be false and nonsense, and even use this to attack the political enemies of the DPRK and China, suddenly heard Pang Pu's calm complaint, Da Sima looked at him coldly for a long time, Pang Pu's face did not change, and calmly greeted Da Sima's eyes.

"Tell Xie Anshi that the enemy who came by water asked him to find a way. Da Sima lowered his voice, but the staff in the tent understood the meaning, the Tomb Captain who specializes in dealing with demons and ghosts is now in the hands of Lord Xie An, doesn't it mean that the Yin family has the power of demons and ghosts? This is the meaning of letting the Tomb Captain take action.

"My subordinates will go. Pang Pu bowed, turned around and walked out.

"Is there a battle report from Langzi?" Da Sima asked loudly, Langzi is Huan Huo's expression, this question is anxious about the military situation of the Qin State, and he immediately pulled back the topic of what the demon said just now.

The green air in the air was far away, blending with the sky, and the dim sun exuded a light that was not strong, but it was enough to make the majestic young man who looked up slightly squinted.

The heroic boy looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, his face was a strange red purple color, his cheeks were broad, his cheeks were round and heavy, and he had a pair of slender phoenix eyes. He was wearing a Jin army's long covering, and his tall and strong body was set off majestic.

His gaze kept following the green qi, watching it gradually disappear into the sky, his thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he was puzzled.

"Look!" a soldier's anxious shout made him withdraw his gaze from afar, and looked in the direction of the soldier's finger, on the horizon where the mountains and rivers met, a cluster of iron-clad figures were emerging, and soon, there were more and more such figures, dense and endless, and their marching steps were so sonorous and powerful, rumbling and reverberating from far to near, hitting the hearts of every soldier who stopped to look from afar.

Shicheng Pass, is a checkpoint on the Yangtze River, from here down the river, it takes less than a day to go straight to the Beijing Division, and the water along the way is gentle, the river is open, so the army of the Jin State to defend Gyeonggi has been using this place as the last barrier on the western waterway.

However, in the current situation, the war is going on far away from the Yangtze River, Shicheng Pass has become less critical, the most elite sailors who were originally guarding have been transferred back to Lujiang by Da Sima, and what remains here are the county soldiers temporarily transferred from the nearby Xincai City, about a thousand or so, not to mention the number of people, they have not gone through any combat experience, they are all new recruits who have just enlisted, and even their clothes and armor are not neat.

The leader was a bearded lieutenant, who originally thought that these more than 1,000 recruits were just for the purpose of garrisoning the sentry, but he didn't expect that such a majestic and majestic ironclad army would be ushered in, and his face turned white with fright, but fortunately, he still remembered his duty, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Bow up, knife out of sheath, prepare for battle!"

Shichengguan was built against the water, facing the river and the back of the mountain, the soldiers trembled and straightened their blades at the head of the city, but the heroic young man was fearless, pulled out the ring head knife on his waist, and lay down half of his body next to the battlements.

The ironclad army finally showed the whole picture, the heroic young man counted, thousands of people lined up, there were eight before and after, this is the number of eight thousand, although the number of more than 1,000 recruits here is very different from it, but if you rely on the terrain of the city pass to defend it, it is not completely without the power to resist, just hold on to the day or so, the reinforcements of Jiankang City can arrive.

Two soldiers raised their torches and waited in front of the haystack behind the city, and as soon as the bearded captain gave the order, they would light wolf smoke to warn them, while the bearded captain was still holding on to his luck, what if the comers were just passing by the officers and soldiers?

Just like this, watching the eight thousand ironclad army in the city pass shot out of the formation, the black pressure is a piece, the momentum of the condensation is terrifying, the heroic young man distinguishes the other party's armor style, but finds that this is a completely unfamiliar color, which shows that the other party can never be the army of the Jin State.

A few healthy horses passed through the formation, and the head was an extremely burly and tall bald head, with a lazy look, squinting at the nervous soldiers in the city, and a sneering smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Where's the army?" the bearded lieutenant barely raised his voice, but he couldn't hide the fear in his tone.

The black horse of Qijun stopped, and the bald head on the horseback raised his face: "Shaoling Yin Clan's Qin Wang Yishi, cross the city and enter Beijing to escort." ”

"If you don't get a general order, you can't pass the customs!" The bearded lieutenant is not qualified to know the various families in the court, and he doesn't know what the origin of this Shaoling Yin family is, he is a soldier, and he only recognizes the general order in the army, of course, it is impossible to let him go.

"Master Jun, at this time, what kind of big Sima has the intention to usurp the throne and rebel, and he is in charge of the military alone, you are suing us, where are we going to get this bullshit order?"

The bearded lieutenant stubbornly held on: "Without a general order, you can't do anything." ”

Before the words fell, another soldier was heard shouting: "There is a boat on the river!"

At the end of the line of sight, the shadow of the longing ship appears on the river, the mast is like a forest, the sails are like clouds, the boats are connected, and they are endless, and it is clearly a strong force of sailors.

The bald head looked back, and the smile on his face was even happier: "It's still on time, they arrived." When he turned his head back, his smile was a little more fierce, and he waved to the city very casually.

A big man with curly hair and red eyes and a bearded man suddenly raised his hand, and a silver light arced, shooting straight at the head of the city, cutting the neck of the bearded captain, it was really fast and incoherent, the bearded captain didn't react at all, and he saw the silver light turn around, and returned to the hand of the big man with blood, but it was an arc-shaped scimitar with blood stains.

A line of blood appeared under the bearded lieutenant, suddenly cracked, and the head fell off, but the body was still straight and not falling.

The soldiers were in an uproar, looking at the bearded captain in disbelief, and the male young man frowned even tighter, how could there be such a majestic force in the world, the scimitar shot farther than a strong bow and a crossbow, and actually killed the captain on the spot.

"Siege the city, take the city pass, and rendezvous with the sailors!" the bald head pulled out a serrated golden knife and pointed diagonally at the head of the city.

The ironclad army was actually very orderly, and only the first two of the eight phalanxes were dispatched, and the flow of people who were advancing was like a dense wriggling ant colony, surging straight towards Shicheng Pass, while the other six phalanxes were immovable, and they seemed to be well-trained.

The recruits, who had lost their officers, panicked, and some had already dropped their swords and fled.

"Shoot the arrows! If we abandon the city and flee, none of us will survive, they will chase us like ducks and cut us down!" The voice of the heroic young man reverberated at the head of the city, and he picked up a lost deserter with one hand, and threw it back to the forefront of the city, acting like a brave general: "Hold on, we just need to wait until the nearest reinforcements arrive!"

β€»β€»β€»

The wolf smoke was billowing and fluttering in the wind, and he gradually caught up with the blue light in the distance, and the shadow in the blue light revealed Ding Xiao's gritted teeth, and his shoulder was still seriously injured and unconscious Lin Xiao.

The so-called instantaneous transfiguration of the demon subduer, traveling thousands of miles a day is just a metaphor, especially a Lizong figure like Ding Xiao, his azure longitudinal body method is only two or three hundred miles a day, especially when he still has Lin Xiao, how far away is it from Luling Li Xiao Mountain to Jiankang? Fortunately, Qiao Fu's downwind speed technique helped, and the group worked day and night, and finally approached the boundary of Jiankang City three days later.

The attack of the Blood Spring murderers began, and Ding Xiao didn't see the fierce battle at Shicheng Pass, but he couldn't stop, and it was the first priority to quickly hand over the Bai Shang who knew the details of the Blood Spring to the Lieutenant of the Tomb. Qiao Ni woke up the next day, Wu Zi was a little lacking in energy, and finally there was no worry about his life, which made Qiao Fu feel a little relieved, but when he thought of the outstanding cultivation of the ghost horse blood spring murderer, Qiao Fu still had palpitations, the closer he got to the destination, the more nervous he became, and he didn't dare to relax a little carelessly, lest the blood spring murderer would sneak up and bully him unknowingly, and then kill him.

Fortunately, this is just a frightened cup bow snake shadow, between the clouds and mist, the river is meandering, the green mountains are majestic, and the magnificent and prosperous Jiankang City is close at hand.

Qingguang fell suddenly in the sky above the vast mansion of the Emperor of the Tomb, and the figures revealed when the light and shadow dissipated were so startled that Juan'er who was passing by snorted, and when she saw the person clearly, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh, she and Ding Xiao had also met a few times, and naturally they had already recognized each other, and just as they were about to speak, they saw Ding Xiao holding Lin Xiao, who didn't know about personnel, and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Don't look at Juan'er's slender figure, she has also experienced some time in the Tomb Lieutenant in the past few years, and it is not difficult to take Lin Xiao's waist to support her.

"I was injured by the Gang Qi shock, and I still breathed a sigh of relief, please ask Master Dingtong to heal quickly. Ding Xiao didn't talk nonsense, his broken right hand hung on his chest, but he didn't care, urging Juan'er to save Lin Xiao first.

Jov Joni also showed up, and he was still holding the haggard Bai Shang in his hand, Bai Shang looked left and right, very curious, and didn't know where it was.

"Master Dingtong?" Juan'er, who was holding Lin Xiao, was stunned: "The master is not here, I just followed Teng Duwei and Xie Gongzi and them together, it seems that they are going to help the Yangtze River waterway." ”

It should be the Shicheng Pass he saw on the road, Ding Xiao immediately made a judgment, and it was expected that the Lingwei would go to the rescue, but he didn't expect to go so fast.

"Then Lao Gan will go with you?"

"Ah, Brother Gan left earlier, as soon as I heard that the news was cut off that night, Brother Gan and Yan Haozi couldn't wait to rush to Luling overnight, didn't Brother Ding see it?"

It's bad, this Gan Fei is anxious, but he has gone to a staggered with them, Ding Xiao is anxious, Gan Fei is very skilled, and he is naturally a good opponent of the Blood Spring murderer, but the problem is that with only one enemy and one enemy, Gan Fei may not be able to win, not to mention, it is still the lair of the Blood Spring murderer, I don't know how many sinister traps have been set, Gan Fei is in danger alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to take advantage.

"I asked Mr. Shi to try to rescue him first. Juan'er didn't delay, and directly helped Lin Xiao to the inner hall.

Only then did Ding Xiao notice that the people in the past were noisy, and the bustling Tomb Captain was surprisingly quiet today, and when he arrived at this moment, he didn't see anyone else appear.

"Who else is in the lieutenant's office?" Ding Xiao asked loudly. Always find some helpers, first ask from Bai Shang about the blood spring Xuanxu, and then rush to help Gan Fei, so that the tragedy of Kuang Zhangmen and them cannot happen again.

"Tomb Ling Shi Dong Hu is here, I don't know who is here?" Wen Ya Qingyue's voice came from the back hall, Dong Hu was dressed in white, and strode up to approach, he has always been extremely polite and respectful to the demon gods.

Bai Shang's head, which was originally looking around, was instantly stunned, and he looked at Dong Hu in a daze.

Dong Hu was saluting Ding Xiaochang with a graceful bearing, but he sensed Bai Shang's gaze, turned his head to look, and his originally faint smiling face suddenly froze: "Su...... Are you a Pawchan?"
