Chapter 482: Joining Forces in Pinggu
There are many mountains in the Mo family, and all kinds of medicinal materials have been abundant since ancient times, Qin Ke's injuries naturally benefit from the good medicinal effect of gold sore medicine, and these days he can basically only lie down honestly, in addition to getting up conveniently, even eating and drinking are ready-made by the guards.
On the seventh day after the division of troops with Abu, Qin Ke already felt much better, at least he no longer had to be "tied up with five flowers" and fixed on the board car like before.
However, Qin Ke sat on the horse's back, and he could still feel the throbbing pain from his right arm from time to time.
It was indeed fortunate that Cheng Shuangaxe did not destroy his right arm, but the injury that penetrated deep into his internal organs should not be underestimated, and whenever he held the sword and wanted to slash down, he had to bear the severe pain of the entire half of his body.
Later, he had to tie the Bodhisattva sword to the left side of the saddle, and when necessary, he held the sword in his left hand and slashed.
In addition to this, he also injured his meridians because he over-stimulated qi and blood, and now he can only drive a minimum amount of qi and blood, so as not to cause the meridians to be damaged again and form irreversible serious injuries that hinder his cultivation path.
He waved the sheathed Bodhisattva Sword, roughly experienced the current state of his body, and whispered to himself: "Whew, is there only the strength of the First Heavy Refining Realm left?"
He sighed, maybe with his body tempered by the Essence Refining Realm, he could barely fight against the cultivators of the Second Realm, but if he still wanted to fight and win, he was afraid that it would be very difficult.
However, since that day, he has never seen a master of the level of Cheng Shuangaxe, if he is only a cultivator of the first and second realms, he can be absolutely suppressed under the salvo of crossbow arrows of the Mo family cavalry, and he does not need to use his hands too much.
This is the sorrow of cultivators in the army, even if they have a body that is far stronger than ordinary people, but so what? In the face of an army that seems to be overwhelming, their personal strength is not worth mentioning.
"General, the scouts ahead didn't find anything, and the goshawk didn't give any warning this time. Just as he was distracted, a personal guard beside him approached him and said softly: "The Tang army has become more and more cunning these days, and it has encountered a team of thousands of people, and the equipment is much better than before. ”
"I know. Qin Ke maintained the uniform speed of the war horse and walked forward slowly.
Wang Xuanwei's strategy was to make it difficult for the Tang army to detect their movements through non-stop marching, and in such a march, several troops would often converge at a certain time and place to form a force of nearly 1,000 men.
It is precisely this ingenious arrangement that allows them to attack a larger Tang Army while covering a wider front, and create the illusion that "the black horsemen are numerous".
Over the years, he has met up with several other teams three times, and the other two times have been good, except for one that has been unsuccessful.
"In this way, the worst luck should be me, and I met such a master of the small grandmaster realm, and both Abu and I were injured...... If it weren't for the fact that the outcome of the battlefield was a foregone conclusion, I'm afraid that both of us would have to explain there. Qin Ke's face was sad.
However, it was also thanks to Qin Ke that they met Cheng Shuangaxe, so they could still fight hard, if they were replaced by Tu Ergou or lost like them, I was afraid that they would really be killed by Cheng Shuangaxe's chaotic army......
"Hmm, general, what did you say?" the guard beside him didn't hear Qin Ke's words clearly, and asked with his head over.
"Nothing. Qin Ke waved his hand, indicating that it had nothing to do with him, and then he looked at the mountain road in front of him, only to feel a cold wind whirring into his neck.
He craned his neck and asked, "What day is it? Why do you feel so cold?"
The guard was slightly stunned and said, "General, it's already winter, calculate the time, the beginning of winter has passed." ”
"It's winter?" Qin Ke glanced at the guards blankly.
Probably because since he practiced, the impact of cold and summer changes on him has become less and less, and after he left Daoxiang Village, he has lost the concept of time for autumn harvest and spring planting.
"Sure enough, I'm still more suitable to go back to the village to live......" Qin Ke sighed, and looked away, the silhouette of a black cavalry army continued to enlarge at the end of the mountain road.
Wang Xuanwei led a thousand Mo cavalry under his command to arrive.
In less than two hours, the Mo cavalry of 2,400 people finally regrouped here, although they were covered in dust and many of them still had scars on their bodies, but the black armor on their bodies was stained with blood, and the blades of their sabers were still shining with cold light.
Perhaps their bodies were very tired, but their fighting spirit was not consumed in the rush of these days, and even an inexplicable excitement was born because of the reunion.
"Why didn't you see General Tu?" Qin Ke looked at the Mo family cavalry that had gathered together, and breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.
A heavy boulder was finally unloaded. You must know that in the past seven days, although he has maintained his composure on the surface, in fact, his spirit has been tense to the extreme.
From the beginning, he didn't think about leading the army, but along the way, he had no choice but to take on this heavy burden, but he kept beating the drum in his heart.
Asking a man who has never led a soldier to lead a soldier is ridiculous no matter how ridiculous it sounds.
However, Wang Xuanwei naturally had his reasons for doing this, because under his men, there were really not too many people available, and one of the three "thousand people" died when they broke out of Jinzhou, and they died unexpectedly on the way because of the surprise attack on the Tang army, these things always happened without warning.
After all, Qin Ke can be regarded as having read a lot of books, and he has learned some art of war in Taixuetang, compared to those soldiers who can't read a basket of big characters, he is already a young talent. If you don't use it, it's really not Wang Xuanwei's style.
"You still don't know?" Abu led the war horse and answered Qin Ke's question in a low voice, "General Tu, he ...... In the middle of the first battle, he was accidentally hit by an arrow and fell off his horse, and there was another Tang cavalry of 3,000 people near Bisheng, and then ...... There was no news of him. ”
Qin Ke was slightly startled when he heard this, and looked at him sideways: "When did it happen?"
"Two days ago. Abu calculated, "I didn't see it with my own eyes, but listening to what they said, it was about the same." ”
Qin Ke nodded. Originally...... Is that so?
No wonder he didn't see Tu Ergou again, that hearty man was also annihilated on the battlefield. The stone that had guided them before was also seriously injured and died in the continuous travel.
In the eyes of the common people, they held swords in their hands and horses on their shoulders, and they did not know how many people's bones they had stepped on, and they did not know how many souls were floating behind them, crying and mourning.
"Whoever wields the sword will die by the sword. Qin Ke thought of a military book in the Taixue Hall, and the first sentence of it was this. The sentence "Bisheng" is written in a book that teaches people how to use soldiers and kill people, and it has to be said that it is a kind of irony.
"Two generals, the admiral, please go to the hillside and speak. Qin Ke had just spoken a few words to Abu, but someone immediately interrupted the conversation between them.
"What's the matter?" Qin Ke frowned.
"I don't know. But the general seemed to be only going to talk to the two generals. ”
"Got it. Qin Ke and Abu glanced at each other, took advantage of the situation to hand over the reins of the horse in their hands to the Mo family cavalry beside them, and then walked all the way to the hillside.
At the highest point of the hillside, Wang Xuanwei was alone, his robe hunting in the wind, and his gaze was far away, as if he wanted to penetrate the mountain and see the Pinggu behind the Tang army camp.
