Volume 1 Hand Can Pick the Stars Chapter 17 There is an elm in the garden, and there are cicadas on it
These days, the Yamen Hall has been confronting the soldiers of the government for so long, and almost no one can do anything about it. The officers and soldiers couldn't rush up, and the members of the Tianxin Sect were unwilling to come down. According to Shicheng's usual observation, the camp of the officers and soldiers at the mountain pass was relatively casual, and there were no horses to resist, and the formation was loose, if the night surprise attack, the officers and soldiers were caught off guard, and they would be defeated.
When the whole army of Tianxin Sect marched to a flat slope in front of the mountain pass, they condescended and charged, shouting to the sky, trying to make the enemy panic. Shicheng sat in the command of the Chinese army in person, and Li Ran, Xu Xingyan and others surrounded Tan Hu and Liu Qianqian to find an opportunity to break through. The idea is thoughtful, and I thought it was inevitable......
"I've been waiting for you for a long time!
The rejection of the horse formation was lined up, and the two rows of spearmen behind the rejection of the horse were in a half-squatting posture with spears in their hands, and a group of archers were lined up in the rear, all of whom were waiting for the battle. Looking at this posture, I had already prepared, and I was waiting for the Tianxin Sect member to send it to the door.
Shi Cheng was shocked, how could the people of the Secret Dao Pastoral Mansion have such foresight?
It's just that the arrow has been wound and has to be fired.
The formation at this moment was extremely bad for the people of the Tianxin Sect, and the officers and soldiers gradually unfolded an encirclement network, but the Tianxin Sect rushed in in an orderly manner. Shi Cheng stubbornly waved the order flag and shouted: "The whole army is assaulting!"
Pan Ji's face was grim, and he ordered: "Archers release arrows! The spearmen are ready to stab, don't let the enemy break through the rejection formation!"
The drums beat loudly.
The members of the Tianxin Sect who rushed to the front were all fearless of death, and some of them were covered in blood with several arrows in their bodies. Knowing that he was going to die, he still held on to cover his comrades in the rear and shorten the distance between the two sides.
Screams and angry shouts mingled across the battlefield.
But after a rain of arrows, he was confronted with a cold spear.
The members of the Heavenly Heart Sect who rushed to the front of the Rejection Horse Formation had just tried to pick up the Rejection Horse, and then they felt a hot current in their stomachs, and several transparent holes had been poked out of their bodies. Some of them fell to the ground with a wail, some laughed and grabbed the barrel of their guns with all their last strength to prevent them from being retracted, and some even jumped to their feet, ignoring the pain in their bodies, and threw their whole body on the rejecting horses, blocking the peepholes between the wooden fences with their bodies.
Going forward and backwards, the corpses were piled up in front of the horse rejection array, and it finally paved a bloody road for the people behind.
The path to kill.
Shicheng was red-eyed, the officers and soldiers had attacked the Yamen Hall many times, but some of them died and retreated, or the two sides hid in the distance and released rockets, and the fire for a long time had no result. I didn't expect the reversal of the offensive and defensive momentum to be so tragic.
Li Ran and others have the heavy responsibility of protecting Liu Qianqian, although they have the heart to step forward, they are really powerless.
The rectangular phalanx of officers and soldiers was finally torn out of a gap by the Tianxin Sect, and the archers hiding behind had to pick up their swords to counterattack, while the pikemen in the front row really couldn't do anything in the face of hand-to-hand combat, and a single shot could hardly do any damage, but the blood gushed out from the backhand.
In the rush to respond, the officers and soldiers were already suffering heavy casualties, and the officers and soldiers carrying them in front were official county soldiers, although they were holding unfavorable weapons and fighting with Tianxin Sect in close combat, they did not have much fear, at most they lacked the ruthlessness of the barbarians;
As a result, many people began to retreat in fear, and the formation gradually became scattered, and for a time the officers and soldiers were faintly defeated.
Seeing this, Pan Ji was in a hurry, and turned to Ye Wenliu beside him and said, "Ye Gongzi, the situation is not right, let your people get on quickly!"
Ye Wenliu was watching the battle in the army, and when he saw the situation, his side seemed to be defeated in a blink of an eye, and even someone in the rear fled from the battle, and secretly despised it in his heart. But he didn't show it on his face, so he nodded slightly, waved his hand, and ordered the group of people behind him: "Leave ten people on standby, and the rest of the people will go up!
"Obey!" Hearing this, more than twenty Yejiabao disciples joined the battlefield as soon as their bodies moved.
Once the war of the Nine Streams had the intervention of the masters of the Six Realms, the balance was instantly broken, and the situation was reversed again.
More than 20 Yejiabao disciples each guarded a fence, and soon stopped the routing formation, and under its leadership, the officers and soldiers re-stabilized their positions and began to counterattack, with the help of double the number of people, almost in a semi-encirclement to eat away at the Tianxin Sect.
Shi Cheng clenched his fists, and secretly said Sure enough, once Yejiabao joined the battlefield, the gap in strength was revealed...... In this way, it seems that the road of taking the official road is no longer feasible.
Shicheng shouted, like a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, the momentum was monstrous, and he could cover the audience with his own strength.
"Transformation Realm One Product!" Ye Wenliu said in a low voice, with a hint of a dark smile on his face: "King Dawei Deming finally can't sit still. “
Tan Hu, Liu Qianqian and others hid behind the crowd, and when they saw that they were gradually losing their support, they could only do it in a hurry. I was distraught, but I couldn't figure out why the government would prepare in advance.
"There must be something wrong with Yejiabao!" Tan Hu was pondering, and Shi Cheng's voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.
Shi Cheng used his internal force to transmit the voice to Liu Qianqian and the others behind the crowd, and said: "A momentary mistake...... It seems that this road will not work, and if we continue to entangle here, I am afraid that we will end up with the end of the whole army. The eldest lady will follow them on another road, around Hengkong Mountain, and then we will meet at the mouth of the valley on the north side, and if Shi does not come within two hours, there is no need to wait...... I'll take care of this here! After saying that, I saw Shi Cheng with a hammer, his body flew by, and he fell into the battlefield from the air, and then rushed to kill like a wolf into a flock.
And Shi Cheng was also smiling bitterly in his heart, his own loss had already been half over, even if he had the ability to reach the sky, in the face of this enemy in the sky, it was really a question of whether he could return it with his whole body...... If they are not afraid of death, they will be in trouble.
But after the break, it is his responsibility, and it is incumbent on him to protect the eldest lady.
Xu Xingyan was angry and angry, and suddenly yelled at Tan Hu and Liu Qianqian: "It's all to blame on you two wastes! If it weren't for Lord Mingwang's order to protect you, the Sprinkle family would die, and you would have to fight with them! Don't be stunned! Don't leave quickly!" After speaking, Xu Xingyan snorted fiercely at the ground.
Liu Qianqian was ashamed, although Xu Xingyan was rude, she didn't dare to refute.
I'm always dragging others down.
Li Ran and the four of them glared angrily at Xu Xingyan, and Chen Rong hurriedly played a round.
Tan Hu followed them up the hill, and suddenly looked up to see that the ominous black crow was still hovering around them.
On the battlefield, even though Shicheng was brave, but after all, it was besieged by many disciples of Yejiabao, although there was a gap between the realms of the two sides, but these disciples were relaxed and cooperated, and the sect's exercises were not leaky, and they firmly contained Shicheng. Shi Cheng was a little careless, and his body was already red.
Although Shicheng was in a hurry, he was helpless.
After Ye Wenliu saw that Shicheng had joined the battlefield, he kept squinting at the mountain pass, and when he saw a few people running towards the mountain, he showed a sneer, and got up and said, "The time has come...... The rest come with me!"
This scene is like a praying mantis catching cicadas.
Liu Qianqian and her party began to flee to the mouth of the North Valley, the forest was surrounded by weeds, the sheep intestine path in the mountains was longitudinal and horizontal, and the two sides were full of tall trees, the branches of which were staggered to cover the sky and the sun, and only the moonlight sprinkled through the leaves, so that everyone could see the road a little. Occasionally, I felt a hint of evening breeze in the mountains, so as to slightly soothe everyone's irritable mood.
After several rounds, I finally arrived at the mouth of a canyon.
The mountain is so big, if you want to find someone here, how easy is it?
It should have been, but ......
"Damn! the third!" Another resounding arrow exploded in the air, and Li Ran instantly judged the position of the person who set off, and took the person's life with a single movement.
"It's the people of Yejiabao! How did they find us? Chen Rong held his forehead and had a headache.
There are two kinds of qi, one is aura, and the other is murderous qi.
The masters of the Six Realms judge the opponent's realm through the "qi" displayed by the opponent; secondly, in terms of finding people and chasing people or avoiding enemies, they must use their own aura to emit and merge with heaven and earth, and sense whether the breath of nearby things has changed in position, so as to find out the abnormality.
It's just that everyone held their breath along the way, relying on their physical strength to support themselves to escape, but they were still being chased.
Yejiabao's group of people is obviously beyond their understanding.
"The gang has been following us since we entered the mountain...... I wasn't sure at first, but now it seems to be true. Li Ran took a breath and said strangely: "The cultivation of these people is not high, but there are more than a dozen people, I can sense their approximate location, and they are relatively scattered, coming around like a semicircle, and they are shrinking smaller and smaller!"
"Are you saying they're getting closer and closer to us?" Tan Hu leaned against a tree and asked heavily, he was indeed tired enough to run all the way.
Li Ran nodded silently.
"What the hell is going on!" Xu Xingyan slammed his fist on the trunk of the tree and said, "Let's all sit back and wait, the Sprinkle family won't believe it, and they can find us!"
Everyone acquiesced to this suggestion and found a place to rest.
In less than half a moment, Li Ran's face first changed slightly, and then the rest of the people's faces also became ugly. The people of Yejiabao were rapidly approaching them, and even Liu Qianqian could faintly feel this restless murderous aura, and the direction that those people were pointing in was exactly where they were!
"Wow--wow--" The black crow appeared in the sky again, and let out a cry like a child's cry, which was particularly harsh to hear.
Liu Qianqian suddenly felt her scalp tingle, and she was scared for a while, and subconsciously leaned towards Tan Hu's side.
At this moment, Tan Hu smelled the faint fragrance on her body again.
"This fragrance is really familiar, it seems to have smelled it many years ago!" Tan Hu became more and more anxious, desperately trying to recall the source of this fragrance.
He had a hunch in his heart that this fragrance was not ordinary.
It's just that the deeper I think about it, the more my brain hurts.
Suddenly, I felt a flash of inspiration in my brain, followed by a heart-piercing and headache, like ten thousand ants eating my brain.
Tan Hu held his head in his hands and endured himself, clenched his teeth, sweated like rain, and was in a trance in front of him, and his ears were dizzy.
"Uhh
Liu Qianqian had already noticed that Tan Hu was sweating profusely, his eyes were in a trance, and his expression was full of pain. Seeing Tan Hu fall down at this moment, he hurriedly helped him to lean on him, and asked with a slight cry: "What's wrong with you, fox, don't scare me!"
"What's wrong with Doctor Tan!" everyone heard Tan Hu shouting and hurriedly gathered around.
After a while, Tan Hu suddenly woke up from a nightmare, and sat up straight with both hands, holding his forehead and gasping for breath, but he already had a headache.
Tan Hu wiped the sweat from his face, and said with palpitations: "No...... It's okay. “
Liu Qianqian was still not at ease, took out a handkerchief to help him wipe his sweat, reached out to probe his forehead, and asked worriedly, "Are you really okay?"
"It's okay...... It's like a dream. Tan Hu let out a long breath and calmed his mind, he finally remembered what the fragrance was.
Thyme.
A few years ago in the capital, Tan Hu had seen this thing.
The Shangshu of the court Ling Xun Wuya, upright and noble, outstanding appearance, and fond of incense. Every time he visits someone else's house, after leaving, the place where he has sat will leave a burst of fragrance, which will not disperse for several days.
For a while, various officials rushed to imitate each other, and the act of incense also became a trend in the capital.
It's just that if you want to achieve the effect of Xun Wuya, the process is more cumbersome, and the spices are also very particular, so it is not easy to choose. Moreover, when it was still wartime, many courtiers did not dare to touch the emperor's scales and act extravagantly.
Later, someone got a powder called thyme, which could achieve the same effect by taking it orally, and for a time this elegant thing became popular again.
But the shortcomings of thyme were discovered.
The first is that the fragrance is somewhat special and more pungent than ordinary spices, and many sensitive people can't stand this smell; the second is that this smell is extremely easy to attract crows, and the yard is full of this ominous blackbird, which annoys people; and the third is that this thyme is gradually out of stock for some reason.
This atmosphere slowly cooled down again.
According to legend, this product is from Yejiabao, and there are many undead Confucian scholars who plan to find some channels, but in the end they are all gone.
Tan Hu thought for a moment, then sorted out his thoughts, and couldn't help but laugh secretly: "Ye Wenliu, good means." “
Xu Xingyan glanced at him strangely, and when he saw that Tan Hu seemed to be really fine, he put his mind at ease. just said urgently: "Don't grind here if it's okay...... Yejiabao's gang will catch up immediately, we have to run away! Fuck! How the hell did you find us!" After that, he glared angrily into the distance and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Tan Hu patted the dust on his body and stood up pretending to be dashing, as if he didn't remember the embarrassed look he had just now.
"What are you waiting for, boy, don't drag us to death!" Xu Xingyan said angrily.
Tan Hu pursed his lips lightly, slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze was like electricity: "Everyone, the fox has a plan." “
Yellow finch, in the back.
