Volume 1, The King's Decree Chapter 87, Troubled Times Create Heroes
The style outside Changle City is bleak, and before the cold and freezing days, they have been driven away by bursts of murderous energy, and the sentries at night are wearing heavy armor and iron helmets, revealing their eyes from the gaps, patrolling all parts of the camp.
Xue Ren hadn't been able to close his eyes for a few nights, and none of the battle reports stacked in front of the table were victorious.
"This gang of wastes in the Immortal Mountain couldn't stop it for even seven days in Flame City, and hundreds of people were killed, and the four elders of the Spring and Autumn Period are all bullshit!" Xue Ren's insults floated out of the camp, and what was even more infuriating was that those county commanders who had heard the wind and surrendered after learning that the Heavenly King Dao had connected the four cities, they did not resist and surrendered.
Chang Qingsong, the secretary of the military department of Zhengle Prefecture, was stationed on the west side with more than 200,000 troops, and more than 200,000 Yongqing iron cavalry were waiting for Li Zai's 300,000 Yongqing iron cavalry, and set up a large camp in the southwest.
The number of the army of the King of Qin in Changle City is unknown, the scouts can only see the banner of the King of Qin, and there are thousands of soldiers on the city wall who rotate every day, presumably the city has been transformed into a military fortress, and it is not difficult to do this kind of thing with the character of the King of Qin.
Everyone is waiting for their respective reinforcements, whoever shows the hole cards first, the result of this war will not be with him, Xue Ren is anxious that Bu Laoshan shot, and it did not have the expected effect, but Cui Ran won half a move first.
Although he has won several games in a row on the front line in the past few days, he can't hurt Cui Ran's foundation, and seeing that the reinforcements from the Heavenly King Dao are about to arrive, how can Xue Ren not be in a hurry.
"Lord, the Heavenly King Dao will arrive early tomorrow morning, I will go to steal Cui Ran's camp tonight and kill Cui Ran first?" Ma Deren, who returned to the main formation, the more he thought about it, the more he didn't feel good, tomorrow the royal road didn't win against him, but he almost lost his life in Flame City, and as soon as he came back, he asked Xue Ren to fight again.
The four elders of the Spring and Autumn Period were all injured, and they had long since returned to the mountain to recuperate from their injuries, and no longer participated in this matter, if it weren't for Xue Juan suppressing this anger, Xue Ren would have scolded these people a long time ago.
"No, Cui Ran is protected by a master in the army, and if you can't get close, I'm afraid you'll lose your life. ”
"Absolutely not, several of my junior brothers have arrived, with their help, tonight's big things are at your fingertips. What Ma Deren said was that several of his fellow practitioners and disciples were all possessed of superb skills, and martial arts were not under him.
Xue Ren had a headache when he heard this, so he waved his hand to let him go down first, "You retreat first, as soon as our army moves, if the other parties take advantage of the situation, I am afraid that something will happen, and this matter will be discussed." ”
Without getting consent, Ma Deren shook his head and walked out of the camp tent with a gloomy face, and there were already a few sharp-beaked monkeys waiting in front of the camp door, and as soon as he came out, he gathered around.
"Senior brother, what's the situation, when will we act tonight?"
"Don't mention it, people don't agree with our plan, forget it. Ma Deren said unwillingly.
"Eh, senior brother, why did you go down the mountain and lose your fire? I wait for a few people to work together, where can I go? With the skills of our senior brothers, ordinary people walk back and forth in the barracks a few times, and the bow and arrow can't be shot!"
These four people are famous for their ability to cause trouble in Bulao Mountain, but they also have some ability to resist trouble, plus the two senior brothers Ma Deren and Ma Mingyuan, they have never been afraid of anyone.
The combined attack technique they practiced was extremely rare, and the blade used by the four of them was a disc with bayonets around it, which was a very unpopular type of Qimen weapon.
To cultivate, you must have four people in one mind, and there is no barrier to perform, and when you move, you are facing four people at the same time, and the means are varied and unpredictable, so you dare to say this outrageously.
"The four of you will go to Senior Brother Mingyuan first and wait, and I will go out of the camp to explore the wind, and I will do it tonight. Ma Deren made up his mind, since Xue Ren didn't allow it, he would go and get the head of the man, and then come over to shame him.
Standing in front of the camp gate, you can clearly see that the camp on the opposite side is in good order, not at all like a defeated battle, and there are four patrols around the camp back and forth.
Every day, Cui Ran will personally inspect the camp to encourage the momentum of the soldiers, although he has suffered losses again and again, it is just his suspicious plan, and the previous frontal battlefields are all recruited by the rebels along the way.
The real Yanliang infantry is still recuperating, just waiting for reinforcements from the Heavenly King Dao to come.
"General Cui, when I heard that the wind of the Heavenly King's Road was difficult, he beheaded hundreds of people on the Immortal Mountain in one go, which greatly ruined their momentum, they can arrive today, when will the attack be arranged?"
Cui Ran has a military advisor who knows everything about astronomy and geography, and it is this person's strategy that Yanliang Prefecture can erect a banner and unite as one.
In the poor and remote hot and cold borders, it is not easy to survive just by eating and drinking, so how can there be a rebellion?
"Wait for the Dao Ruin Sect Master to come here and make plans, not only must you be wary of the people of Immortal Mountain, then the Langya Sword Disciple is the most dangerous, in case they suddenly come in, who can stop the soldiers?"
What Cui Ran was worried about was that the five thousand swordsmen brought by the prince from Langya, it stands to reason that they should have already come here, but the scouts sent out were unaware, which made Cui Ran a little jealous.
Langya is not somewhere else, the world's first sword sect, there are 100,000 swordsmen, 300 swordsmen, and countless famous swords, it is a real master of the big faction, the eight swordsmen around the prince, according to legend, Langya came out to protect the prince's safety.
"Don't worry too much, although the Langya swordsman is brave, my Heavenly King Dao is not a paper paste, and in terms of marching and fighting, no sect has ever surpassed the Heavenly King Dao. ”
While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a gust of wind whistling, and before the two could react, a flying sand rolled up on the ground, blowing down a camp wall.
"Strategist, retreat quickly! Enemy attack!" Cui Ran subconsciously pulled the people around him and ran, the hairs behind him stood on end, and he fell forward, narrowly avoiding layers of sword qi, but the soldiers in those camps were not so lucky, and they were all cut in two.
Hundreds of sword blades emerged from the wind and sand, and a loud trumpet came neatly into the ears: "Langya!"
It was another neat sword, and the camp tent within more than ten zhang of the vicinity was smashed and turned into debris.
"Don't talk too much, Langya is here! The crossbowmen are aiming! The shield soldiers protect the formation, even Langya doesn't want to break through the camp!" Cui Ran is worthy of being the general of the Iron Dynasty's expedition to the east, and his reaction is extremely fast, taking advantage of the interval between the opponent's offensives, he immediately got up and made the most correct command.
Three rows of shield soldiers holding strong shields protected Cui Ran layer by layer, and there were archers from the surrounding watchtowers who shot at the wind and sand, and the Langya swordsmen did not wear armor, and sharp arrows could easily shoot through the body.
But if it was so easy to defeat, it would not be the Langya swordsman, not a single one of so many bows and arrows could hurt them, all of them were shattered by the sword qi, and hundreds of people strode into the shield formation, and opened fire.
Cui Ran ran back a little embarrassed, looking back at a messy battlefield from time to time, the other party was no more than five hundred, and he didn't see the prince, but he gathered more than several times the opponent's troops, but it was still a one-sided slaughter.
"Ring formation, encircle but not attack! The longer it takes, the better our chances of winning! We can't let these people escape!"
It's easy to say, it's hard to do, the fine iron shield is under the blade, brittle as a cicada's wings, shattered at the touch of a button, and more than a thousand people died in the blink of an eye, if it weren't for Cui Ran to supervise the battle, this formation would have been unable to hold on.
"General Cui, don't panic!
Behind the direction of Yanliangzhou, another road of smoke and dust rushed to the door, breaking through the camp gate and coming straight towards the battlefield.
Feng Yan held the dragon-headed steel knife in his hand, jumped into the battle circle that was about to collapse, and stabbed the person in front of him.
As the disciples of the Heavenly King Dao joined the battlefield one after another, the situation gradually improved, and the sword disciples began to suffer casualties.
"The swordsman next to the prince is here, what about the prince?" Feng Yan turned around and saw several figures that were not strangers, three of the eight swordsmen around the prince were not far away.
The three of them also saw him, and knew that the wind was difficult but it was hard stubble, so they came together at the same time.
"Lao Xie, how can you get mixed up with the thief of the Heavenly King Dao?
Xie Dongting arrived here with the army of the Heavenly King Dao, and when he saw the Langya sign, his face was gloomy and ugly.
Bai Yiting walked to his side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead, I won't embarrass you, Langya has Langya's rules, isn't it?"
Several other mountain owners also nodded, the rules of the rivers and lakes cannot be broken, and it is a villain who hurts people behind his back, and the famous faction will never act like this.
"Thank you seniors, Xie said goodbye!" Xie Dongting clenched his fists, drew his sword and immediately flew up, heading straight for the wind.
Gu Nanli, Jin Xifeng, Xie Dongting, Guan Sixi, four people and four swords, it was difficult to fight together, but the back was wet after one move, and the blade left four bloody wounds on his body.
However, the wind was not afraid at all, the battle intent of the eyes was even better, and the qi and blood emitted by the steel knife constantly weakened the power of the sword qi.
The exercises he cultivates are a bit strange, and they require cultivators to move forward indomitantly, only advancing and not retreating, so that the sword technique will become stronger and stronger.
In terms of strength, he was not as good as any of the four, and there were more and more wounds on his body, but these four people could not take him down, but instead stimulated his fighting spirit, and after ten moves, the sword qi was already close to him.
"If you can't catch it, you can't let him continue to grow the momentum, this blood is weird!" Guan Sixi turned the blade of the sword, spun his body and slashed towards his waist and abdomen, while the other three flew high in the air and slashed downward.
One blow will kill! The blood of the wind and the wind could not stop the four people, and when they were about to swing the knife and exchange their lives with Guan Sixi, a spear was nailed in the middle of the two sides, obliquely blocking Sixi's sword.
"I'm not dead, you can't kill my junior brother. ”
The three people in the air were repelled by air fluctuations at the same time, and turned over and stood beside Guan Sixi.
Looking at Feng Nan again, there was a senior brother with broken sleeves around him, and he still had that crooked smile on Lai Lai's face, "Senior Brother Feng, do you think if I don't come, will you be unlucky?"
"Where did you come from, kill them all!"
If you continue to fight, it will all be a masterpiece, Xie Dongting's flying locust stone didn't need money, Gu Nanli lifted the thin line around his waist, and actually pulled out the net pocket from the ground and covered Zhang Yi in place.
"It's not good to practice swords, play with these bells and whistles all day long!" Zhang Yi raised his gun and shook it, and the spear smashed the fine net and went straight to Gu Nanli's door, "I'll teach you how to practice!"
