Chapter Ninety-Eight: A True Dragon Appears in the Northwest
"General, ahead is the camp of the Northwest Army. Fan Ziyu dismounted sideways, walked to the front of General Yan Kuo, who was staring into the distance on horseback, and bowed his head with his fists in front of him, "Do you want to let the Southeast Army continue to advance?"
"No, let's set up camp in another place. Yan Kuo replied without looking back, "I don't deal with that guy Han Fengyi, and I can smell his cunning stench from afar." ”
"In that case, let's camp in the plains below the Rift, which is open and level, with a great view, just west of Fallen Maple City. If the army of Falling Maple City wanted to launch a surprise attack, it would be the first to notice it. ”
"Well, let's do as you say. Yan Kuo nodded.
Fan Ziyu has been by his side for 20 years, and he has now grown to the point where he can entrust Yan Kuo with important responsibilities.
If General Fei is not in the array, everything in the Southeast Army will be led by Fan.
"Understood. Fan Ziyu straightened up and waved his hand to several generals and tens of thousands of troops behind him. Suddenly, the long sound of drums and trumpets spread throughout the field, and the neatly arranged Southeast Army marched in an orderly manner and began to march towards the pointing point in an orderly manner in an array.
The first to strike was the Vanguard, which was responsible for the protection outside the camp. This was followed by the reserve army, which was responsible for camping, followed by the Second and Third Armies.
The steps of the entire Southeastern Army during the march were completely consistent. Although there were a large number of people, there was not the slightest sense of chaos in the scene.
This is the strongest combat effectiveness of Tunan, the ace iron army that has not tasted defeat since Yan Kuo was formed, the Southeast Army.
After commanding the army to advance, Fan Ziyu returned to Yan Kuo's horse, waiting for Yan Kuo's next order.
"What is the current battle damage of the Northwest Army, you should have been responsible for receiving the military report before. Yan Kuo didn't take his eyes off looking into the distance, and Fan Ziyu even suspected that his entire body hadn't moved in the slightest.
Like a statue standing on horseback.
Yan Kuo's body exuded an extremely calm aura, his expression could not see what he was thinking at this time, he was dressed in light armor, and he was carrying the one-man tall hardwood longbow that he had used on his back.
This bow is specially made by Luojing's most talented craftsmen with the core of a thousand-year-old tree as the core, and the bowstring used is the snake tendon of the six-flowered python, which is known as the most resilient in the world. With the blessing of Yan Kuo's own unique true qi, the range and power of the arrow can be increased to an extremely exaggerated level.
Ten miles away to take the head of the enemy general, the title of flying general is by no means a wasted name.
This is the existence that Fan Ziyu respects the most, the existence of both a father and a friend.
"Yes, General. It has been written in the battle report that Luofeng City is located on the Luofeng Slope, the terrain is treacherous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Southeast Army has no good way for a while. Several attempts at the siege ended in failure, and the main force is currently suffering heavy damage and is recuperating on the spot, waiting for reinforcements. ”
"Is the city lord of Luofeng City still that guy?" Yan Kuo asked suddenly.
"As I understand it, still. Fan Ziyu chuckled in his heart, now he didn't expect Yan Kuo to take the initiative to touch on this topic.
"This old guy is so old that he still has the energy to lead troops to defend the city? ”
"According to the intelligence, there are also some of Wen Jingguo's Tianhai Sword Sect internal guards who are helping to defend. ”
"It turned out that he came to avenge his disciple, this kind of guy is not easy to mess with. Yan Kuo said with a smile, "Didn't we let a guy run away in my Southeast Army camp before? Maybe he was among them." ”
"Yes, forgive his subordinates for their incompetence, that day he actually disguised himself as a veteran Li Dabiao, although I saw through it, he used the Tianhai Sword Sect Immortal Weapon Void to escape, which damaged the face of our Southeast Army. Fan Ziyu recalled Zhang Ziqi that day, gritted his teeth and said, secretly thinking in his heart that if he could be bumped into by himself again, he would definitely kill him with his own hands, and he would be ashamed.
"Don't be so excited, if it weren't for this incident, I wouldn't have known that kid had been out of the army for so long, and there were still fans in the army who would wear his original military badge on him, it seems that this kid is not so useless. ”
"Although Li Dabiao has a stubborn personality and does not follow the rules, he still has a very good set of leading soldiers. ”
"Don't talk about this, didn't our imperial court also organize a clan expedition, how is the situation now?"
"The list has been counted, a total of more than 22,000 people, are heading here, and it is estimated that it is almost there at this time. Fan Ziyu replied, "The one in charge of leading the team is Liu Changxi, the third prince." ”
"I remember that the matter of the clan being transferred to the front line was mentioned by Chen Shaojie, and he would actually hand over the errand of leading the troops to the third prince?"
"My subordinates also felt a little strange. ”
"The little prince is only twenty-two this year, so he dares to come to the front line?" Yan Kuo's tone was very disdainful.
"These three princes have always been brave and extraordinary over the years, the famine in the thirteen northern states the year before last, and the flood on the southern border three years ago were all managed by the three princes themselves. Even in this expedition, the three princes were strongly opposed by the court. ”
"It seems that after so many years, I have finally produced a Ming Monarch?"
"It's hard to say whether it's Mingjun or not, but I think it's more worth looking forward to than the other two princes. ”
"Since the little prince is here, that guy must not be absent. He and Han Fengyi's guy were like sticking together, and they both exuded the same disgusting smell on their bodies. ”
"If the general is talking about the eldest prince Liu Changnian, he is already in the camp of the Northwest Army at this time. Fan Ziyu replied, "In addition, according to the Central Line of the Army, it seems that the second prince also has the idea of coming to this front line. ”
"That shit, no. He deserves nothing more than to hide behind his mother and be a slug. Without his uncle Chen Shaojie, I guess His Majesty would not have remembered that he still had such a son. ”
"General, urgent report!" Just as the two were talking, a herald suddenly ran over and handed Fan Ziyu a military report encapsulated in a bamboo tube.
"What's so urgent?" Fan Ziyu was a little puzzled, unlike ordinary military newspapers, the bamboo tube used in this military newspaper is a fine purple bamboo, not only the texture is soft and hard, it will not let the letter get wet, and it smells faintly fragrant. The stationery used in the military newspaper is even more luxurious, it is the best oak rice paper in the southern part of the country, and the handwriting left on it will not be affected in any way regardless of wind and sun.
The exquisiteness of the workmanship of the military newspaper illustrates the dignity of its owner. The bamboo tube is engraved with a seal knife with several delicate characters.
General Fei personally opened.
Yan Kuo took the military report presented by Fan Ziyu and looked at it with interest, Fan Ziyu could feel it, and the more Yan Kuo looked at the corner of his mouth, the more the smile that could not be hidden.
Interesting, really interesting!
Yan Kuo's eyes tightened, he suddenly jumped suddenly, fell from his horse, took the longbow on his back, and helped the arrow into the string, the violent aura emanating from his body made the whole bow make a buzzing and piercing roar.
Fan Ziyu on the side didn't know what Yan Kuo's intention was, but he could feel from the fluctuation of his true qi that Yan Kuo was using all his strength at the moment.
The arrow was aimed at the boundless sky.
"Boom. After accumulating momentum, Yan Kuo suddenly released the bowstring, and the true qi carried on the arrow almost visibly distorted the surrounding true qi.
The arrow roared through the air, and the vibration of the true qi drew an irregular arc in the sky, and although the resistance was sufficient, the power of the arrow showed no signs of abating at all.
As if I wanted to shoot down the remnant sun at this time.
The arrow quickly turned into a dot and vanished, and it was only discerned from the faint whistling sound that it was still gliding.
Fan Ziyu blocked the sunlight with his hand and squinted. Only then did he see clearly that the remnant of True Qi left behind the arrow shot by Fang Yan Kuo was gradually expanding, and the irregular lines of the arrow's trajectory were becoming clear little by little at this time.
It was a faint swimming dragon.
At this moment, in the direction where the arrow was not entering, a low and shocking roar suddenly sounded. The swollen dragon writhed as if it had made its own roar.
"The little snake cubs are 0 competing for the dragon position, which is a bit interesting. Yan Kuo whispered, put down the bow in his hand, looked at the scene of the dragon roaring in the sky, and smiled with satisfaction.
