Chapter 37: Submission

It was not before the second watch of the night, Xue Chong led his subordinates to quietly go out of the city, found a hiding place in a remote place two or three miles away from the Yinma River, and quietly waited for Xu Ming's arrival.

Half a watch later, Xu Ming personally took the lead with a sword, led the army to arrive, several people used the air dead wind lamp to illuminate, in the dark night, they couldn't see the reality clearly, and only cared about moving forward.

Xue Chong was overjoyed, his palms were a little sweaty, and he quietly ordered his men and horses to prepare for battle.

Oh!

Suddenly, one of the soldiers who had opened the way in front stepped into the trap and cracked a large piece of ice with a bang. Immediately afterward, countless ice traps broke up, and the ice surface of miles of land was broken with it. This is Xiao Yuzhang leading the people to excavate, and the bearing weight of the ice surface is far less than enough for people to walk on it.

Click!

In the midst of the bang, because of the impact of the cracking of a piece of ice, the rest of the ice surface was also seriously cracked, and many officers and soldiers and war horses fell into it, and suddenly disappeared without a trace, which was extremely terrifying!

"Oh no! there's a river down there, go back!"

"Rush!"

"Give it to me!"

At this time, the shouts of the charge sounded from the north and south, Xiao Yuzhang took the lead in launching, blocking the ice surface north of the Yuma River, throwing out the torches, and the fire was burning, melting the ice in front of him, blocking Xu Ming's way forward, feather arrows flew sideways, swishing sounds, and the positions of the officers and soldiers were instantly chaotic.

Xue Chong then condescended to kill, learn Xiao Yuzhang's method to block the ice first, and then order his subordinates to release arrows, blocking the officers and soldiers in the center of the wide Yuma River, blocked before and after, things are full of traps, torches are burning, the ice that has already been smashed can not bear the weight of the heavy horses, and they have fallen into the traps on the ice, and instantly evaporated from the world, which is extremely terrifying.

The screams of people or cows and horses before they died pierced the calm night sky and added to the eerie atmosphere.

Xu Ming's army, now completely chaotic and disorganized, watched at his feet, fearing that he would accidentally slip into the ice and have no bones left. Between the generals and the soldiers, they only cared about themselves, and many officers and soldiers rushed to the shore like flies, but in front of Xiao Yuzhang and Xue Chong's army, it was tantamount to death, and among the feathers and arrows flew together, they died on the ice in rows, blood flowed everywhere, and it was very terrifying.

"Don't panic, everyone, charge with me!"

Xu Minghou cut off the head of a partial general with a machete on his back, and shouted hissed, but it was useless, all the officers and soldiers were in danger, where to talk about what rules, fled in all directions, and screams before death were passed on in the snowfield.

Xue Chong met Xu Ming first, fought him with a thick-backed machete, and gradually retreated to Gaofu, away from the threat of the ice. Both of them knew in their hearts that once they fell into the trap, no matter how high their martial arts were, it would be a fate.

But the officers and soldiers who charged with him were not as lucky as him, and they were surrounded by no spear and the six commanders, and all of them were killed on the shore.

The combat power of Xu Ming's army is similar to the gang in Baiyun City, after Xue Chong's day and night nuisance during this time, he has become a tired soldier, and his combat power has been discounted, coupled with running around in the middle of the night, his physical strength has been greatly consumed, coupled with such a deadly ambush, traps everywhere, originally only seventy percent of the combat power, but now it can only play two or three out of ten, under the front and rear attacks of Xiao Yuzhang and Xue Chong, it was suddenly collapsed, and the dead and wounded were pillowed.

The stalemate fought until dawn, Xu Ming's 8,000 men and horses were flanked by Xiao Yuzhang and Xue Chong, and more than 3,000 people were killed and wounded, and the rest had thousands of soldiers who fell into the trap and disappeared, and the remaining 4,000 men and horses all surrendered.

This is the work of Xiao Yuzhang's subordinates, after being surrounded, there is no way forward, there are chasing soldiers behind, and there are many traps, taking refuge in Baiyun City is obviously the best choice.

At this time, Xue Chong, Wuzi and Xu Ming fought a battle, regardless of victory or defeat.

From last night to dawn, the two have fought no less than a thousand moves, and the moves are ruthless, but the strange thing is that the two are not tired, the more they are in the morning, the more energetic they are.

Xu Ming hated Xue Chong to death, and he had to kill him, forgetting whether he fled for his life or not.

In fact, with his martial arts, in the chaos of last night's situation, with his martial arts, it was extremely simple to want to escape alone. However, the hatred for Xue Chong in his heart was like a surging river, unstoppable, and seeing that he actually fought with him in person, he vowed to kill him with supreme martial arts.

Xue Chong had only one purpose in fighting him, that is, to capture this brave general alive for his own use, so as soon as he got started, he aimed at the tired enemy, blocked and blocked, and used all the tricks of delay, and used the starfall longbow behind him to plot against him when he took the time.

In the dark night, the fight between real swords and guns is not as effective as bows and arrows.

In this way, the two spend more time on controlling the horse, and they tend to be cautious when fighting, for fear that the opponent will make a surprise move.

But after dozens of moves, Xue Chong's worries gradually dissipated, Xu Ming's martial arts are indeed clever, but they are limited to cleverness, except for the fact that the internal force is particularly long and strong, there is nothing special, unlike Xiao Yuzhang, who has frequent killing moves, making people unguardable.

The fight between the two gradually slowed down, not because of lack of physical strength, but because of the war horses under their respective crotches, which were gradually exhausted and difficult to bear.

At this time, Xiao Yuzhang had already led the army to disarm a group of surrendered officers and soldiers, and they were put in order, waiting for Xue Chong's departure.

The rest of the Baiyun City gang formed a big circle, surrounding Xue Chong and Xu Ming in the heart, watching the two fight, and seeing the gang leader gradually benefiting, they were all happy.

The war horse that Xue Chong stepped under was neighing in the wind and snow, and he fought hard for a long time, but the horse under Xu Ming's seat was newly dedicated to him by his subordinates, which was much inferior to his previous horse.

His previous war horse was killed by Xue Chong when he shot Xue Chong with a cold arrow.

"Take a break!"

Xue Chong shouted, Le Ma returned to the gate flag of Baiyun City, and glanced at Xiao Yuzhang on the side.

Xiao Yuzhang meeting, without a blade, came out of the horse empty, and came to Xu Ming's horse.

Xu Ming got this opportunity, turned over and dismounted, let him sit down and rest, and thought in horror in his heart: This Xue Chong's martial arts have reached such a terrifying point. After fighting hard for a long time, there were thousands of moves in the hand, and the moves were all powerful, but this kid actually took it as if nothing happened, until this time, the internal force did not have the slightest exhaustion, but was more vigorous, could it be that the cultivation of the physical body has broken through the eighth realm and entered the realm of psychic?

In fact, he felt that Xue Chong's energy was getting stronger and stronger, which was actually an illusion. Xue Chong took a large amount of snow mountain ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, astragalus, bear's paw, tiger whip and other precious supplements, the viscera can condense blood lipids, the quality of blood lipids is extremely high, and the dantian qi sea is often stored sufficiently.

Although Xu Ming's martial arts are clever, he obviously can't condense blood lipids, and only relies on decades of diligent cultivation and hard work to cope with the battle, and the more later, especially after his physical exhaustion, he gradually can't stop Xue Chong's offensive.

Fortunately, Xue Chong's sword skills were ordinary, otherwise, Xu Ming knew in his heart that he would have already been defeated.

"Uncle Xu Ming, the juniors are so polite!"

When Xiao Yuzhang saw Xu Ming dismounting, he quickly jumped off the horse with a respectful expression.

"Hmph!" Xu Ming turned his back, very angry in his heart.

"Uncle, you are my father's brother in life and death, and my nephew has a few words that I don't know what the sky is high and thick, please listen. ”

"I don't want to hear it, the kid surnamed Guo, if you have a kind, you will give me a life and death with your grandfather?"

"Uncle, what my nephew wants to say is that Gang Master Xue has a good intention, maybe the uncle didn't know, but misunderstood him. ”

Xu Ming was furious, and his eyes jumped a few times: "This kid is used to intrigue and trickery, extremely vicious, setting up such a vicious trap and poisonous plan to defeat our army, does he still have good intentions?"

Uncle Mingjian, the two armies have always used intrigue and trickery in the war, and they have done everything they can, and Xue Chong's gang leader is not strong enough to win by skill, which is understandable. It's just that he fought with his uncle alone, which is indeed a good intention, otherwise, he had many generals at that time, and his uncle was already invincible, but this is a fact. ”

Xu Ming was a straight person, and when he heard this, he said loudly: "Xue Chong, boy, come here, I have something to say to you." ”

When Xue Chong heard this, he jumped off the horse, fluttered in front of Xu Ming, and bowed slightly: "What do you have to say from your predecessors, but it's okay to ask." ”

"Let me ask you, the purpose of your fight with me last night was to keep me?"

"The seniors have questions, but they dare not answer. The biggest reason why I have been fighting you is to hold you back, so that you can choose to come to my Baiyun City when you see that the defeat is irretrievable!"

"Fart! Do you want Lao Tzu to be a traitor, I was beheaded all over the house, and became a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous thing like Xiao Yuzhang? Okay, if you take my head today, I Xu Ming will not sit still. ”

As he spoke, he poked the eighty-two-pound thick-backed machete in his hand on the ground, and a piece of general momentum burst in half.

"Senior, please stop being angry! Please take a look at this, this is the troop transfer document that General Xiao Yuzhang got a few days ago, and the book is a handwritten letter from Marshal Xiao Jun and Marshal Xiao. ”

Xu Ming was stunned for a moment, took it and looked at it, and sure enough, it was Marshal Xiao's handwritten letter. The letter said that he had already learned about Xiao Yuzhang's return to Baiyun City, and had already heard about the imperial court, and severed the father-son relationship with Xiao Yuzhang. But then, he talked about it in the letter that Yuan Hong is now the prime minister and excludes him. Although he saw his distress stamp, Yuan Hong ignored it at all, but thoroughly investigated Xiao Yuzhang's affairs and asked him Xiao Jun to temporarily hand over the position of marshal. Tell him, if possible, to delay the battle against bandits in Daxue Mountain for a longer time, and then try to return to Chaoyunyun when the political situation in the DPRK and China is clearer.

"Damn, Yuan Hong, this dog-like thing!" Xu Ming scolded, "I worked hard for the country on the battlefield, I didn't expect him to do this to me, and even more to my eldest brother!"

Xiao Yuzhang sighed and said: "Yes, boy, although I am losing my father's face by doing this, I also have the opportunity to let my father see the true face of the empress dowager and the emperor, who is good to him and who wants to harm him." Uncle, you fought hard for him on the battlefield, but I didn't expect him to not add a single soldier to you, but instead used the topic to play against your righteous brother and remove my father from the position of generalissimo, such a person, you died for him, is it worth it?"

Xu Ming looked up to the sky and sighed: "Yuan Hong, I won't let you go, I will definitely kill Sheng Jing and personally cut off his dog's head!"

"Senior Xu, junior assure you that one day, I will personally lead the soldiers and horses of the Snow Mountain, and you will be the front, kill into Shengjing, and take the head of the old thief of Yuanhong!"

"Thank you for making it happen!"

Xu Ming bowed to the ground, Xue Chong hurriedly helped him up, and the faces of the old and the young were full of joy.

That night, Baiyun City was full of joy, and a sumptuous celebration banquet was set up to celebrate the great victory, but also to celebrate the acquisition of more than 4,000 troops, and even won a fierce general like Xu Ming.

At this point, the prestige of Baiyun City was greatly shaken, and the prestige spread in the sea, and people from all over the world took refuge in the way.

Three days later, under the persuasion of Xiao Yuzhang and Xu Ming, Jiao Xun led an army of 13,000 to Baiyun City and put himself under the command of Xue Chong, with all the grain and grass to be prepared.

From this time on, Baiyun City became the first major force in the snow-capped mountains for the first time, with more than 20,000 troops, several good generals, and a strong city.
