Chapter 23: Military Spirit

In the depths of Yishan, the early morning autumn wind carries a trace of coldness, and the autumn fog that pervades the mountains has not yet dissipated.

Ling Huyi's tall and straight figure was hidden in the dense bushes, and dozens of cavalry behind him had already dismounted and hidden.

A cavalryman stepped forward and lowered his voice: "The senior deputy team is fleeing from the battle, why doesn't the team stop it?"

Ling Hu Yi said in a clear voice: "Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, even if I forcibly keep him, it will only be bad." ”

After another pause, he said, "I have recorded the mountain roads along the road." ”

The cavalryman said: "It's all written down, some hidden paths, and there are still marks." ”

"Well, before the army is dispatched, this exploration of the terrain is the most important thing. Ling Huyi had the heart to mention the young sergeant with clear eyebrows in front of him.

"Silence" made Huyi suddenly make this action.

Not long after, I saw a group of ghost soldiers appear in the mountains and forests of seventy or eighty zhang in the distance, these ghost soldiers are gloomy, with the shelter of the mountains and forests and the protection of flags, they come out to cruise in broad daylight, which can be described as extremely arrogant.

There are about twenty or thirty of those ghost soldiers, and the leader is wearing a military medium uniform, with a waist knife hanging from his waist.

"My lord, I seem to smell the breath of human flesh," said one of the fierce ghost soldiers with a teal stick.

The ghost general suddenly waved his hand to stop the ghost pawn's movements, and commanded in a low voice: "Sound at any time." ”

Before he could finish speaking, a rapid rain of arrows interrupted his command.

Ling Huyi, as the leader of the scout team, has excellent eyesight, and when he was hidden, he vaguely saw the ghost soldier saying something to the leader, and at the same time peeking in his direction, knowing that he must have been discovered.

Ling Huyi gave an order, and thirty or forty arrows rained down under his command, and they suddenly caught the ghost soldiers on the opposite side by surprise.

The strong bow and hard crossbow were seventy or eighty zhang apart, with the kinetic energy of high-speed operation and the deterrent power of the spell, and in an instant, half of the twenty or thirty ghost pawns under the ghost general were shot into hedgehogs, and the ghost pawns who were hit by the arrows turned hideous, turned into a cloud of black smoke in pain, and disappeared into the air.

When the ghost general saw this scene, his eyes were wide with anger, and he snatched a flag from his hands, and under the urging of the ghost's energy, the ghost flag was full of ghosts, and the sound of a ghost crying wolf howl sounded, and the ghost flag turned into a black shield, covering the remaining dozen or so ghost soldiers under his command.

Ling Huyi saw that the enemy soldiers were protecting themselves with soul flags, and shouted: "B and C, line up the spear formation, and cover the flanks of the Jia Shi bow and crossbow, and follow me to attack the enemy formation." ”

After speaking, he first crossed out of the bush, carried an iron spear, and rushed towards the ghost soldier first.

The distance of seventy or eighty zhang, whether it is close or not, and whether it is far or not, that is, a moment of effort, Ling Huyi rushed to the ghost army with more than 20 of his subordinates.

Before the ghost general could speak, he heard a loud shout, and saw an iron spear like a dragon out of the water pierced his throat.

Just a burst of intermittent words sounded, "The spirit of a general, how can it be like this." ”

If Su Jing was here, looking down from a high place, and using the technique of looking at qi, he would find that there were less than 100 people on both sides fighting, and there were actually two groups of qi luck constantly strangled and killed each other in the sky above the military array. One of them is the black and gray qi, and the other side, clearly has the red soul military qi, under the influence of a fierce general in front of him, turned into a sharp arrow, and the momentum is like a broken bamboo, tearing apart and destroying that small piece of black and gray cloud qi.

However, in a quarter of an hour, calm was restored in the mountains and forests again, and the group of ghost soldiers and the ghost generals who took the lead were all led by Ling Huyi and the cavalry to rush and kill. Except for the black flag, the surroundings were empty.

Ling Huyi held the black flag in his hand, and only felt a sea of corpses and blood, and a disgusting aura hit. And the black qi emitted by the soul banner seemed to spread from the palm of the hand. Linghu Yi's killing machine surged, and only then did he suppress that evil energy.

I don't know how many people's blood and souls have been sacrificed to refine this thing, and if it weren't for my firm heart, I would have almost been affected by it.

If this yin qi penetrates into the lungs, it will cause a serious illness at least and lose one's life at the worst.

Ling Huyi turned his face to his subordinates at this time and said, "This place is too close to the ghost king's lair, and we have almost found out the terrain and situation of this place, now, we can go back and resume our lives." ”

When the soldiers heard this, their hearts were very happy, after all, following this team is really playing with their lives, if they can complete the task and return safely, they can not only make meritorious contributions, but also save their lives, why not do it?

Thirty or forty men returned the way they had come, found the horses that had been hidden, turned on their horses, and were about to leap back.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of salsa in the forest, and a cold voice came: "Kill my Ghost King's subordinates, if you leave like this, you won't take us seriously." ”

Ling Huyi's heart sank at this time, and when he raised his eyes, two old men, one high and one low, appeared in the woods not far away against the ghost wind, looking at himself and the others with gloomy faces.

"Not good, it was discovered. Ling Huyi also seemed to remember at this time, among the group of dead ghost soldiers, a ghost pawn blew a whistle-like thing, he thought it didn't blow at the time, but now it seems that the sound they blow, he can't hear it at all.

Ling Huyi was anxious in his heart, but his face was silent, and he calmly ordered: "Line up, wind the bow and crossbow, and shoot flat to meet the enemy." ”

In the face of these two old ghosts with ghost handsome cultivation, one high and one low, his own side is not without a chance of winning.

The tall one among the two old ghosts saw that the Red Army spirit had formed in the Linghu Righteous Army formation, so he sneered and said: "I didn't expect to meet a general today, and it just so happens that the old man Huangquan still lacks a strong military soul on his crutches." ”

The short old ghost saw the crossbow arrows that emitted a cold light in the opposite military array at this time, and said with some fear: "Old Qi, be careful, this team has armor-piercing arrows in their hands." ”

The old ghost surnamed Qi glanced at the Linghu Righteous Army Array, and said disdainfully: "It's just a primary armor-piercing arrow, it's not worth it for a ghost like me." ”

As he spoke, his body shook, and the ghost claws grabbed Ling Huyi with a sharp cold light.

"Release the arrows" was ordered, and the bows and arrows were fired together, but they all failed, only making the old man's figure a little embarrassed.

The speed of the old ghost's figure was not affected, and he attacked straight towards Ling Huyi. Ling Huyi's eyes flickered with cold light at this time, and he was not afraid in his heart, and the spear stabbed the old man seventeen times as quickly as a pear blossom rainstorm.

The old man didn't expect Ling Huyi's methods to be so aggressive, and carelessly, his left arm was stabbed, and his body retreated sharply, appearing in the air four or five zhang away from Ling Huyi, looking at Ling Huyi with a shocked face.

"I didn't expect you to comprehend the way of momentum. It's the old man who underestimates you. ”

Killing in the army, only the momentum, the general who can integrate the momentum into the martial arts, is almost a strong man in the martial arts in the future, and the military qi is compatible, and the damage to the ghost cultivation is even worse, at this time, don't look at the old man, he looks indifferent, in fact, the blood and gas gun on the left arm is constantly destroying his soul from the inside out.

It is said that this old man's cultivation is shallow, if it is a ghost cultivator of Yuan Gang, under the urging of Gang Qi, in the face of this level of gun momentum and military energy, it is just a breeze.

The tall old man, who couldn't care about the embarrassment of face at this time, shouted to the short ghost cultivator: "Old ghost, you still can't see the joke." If you don't make a move, take down this person's subordinates, and if you don't have a military spirit, this person is a toothless tiger. ”

When the short old ghost heard this, he smiled, and then shot at Ling Huyi's thirty or forty cavalry subordinates.

The thirty or forty people were still a little worried when they saw two powerful ghost cultivators appear for the first time, but when they saw that Ling Huyi was so brave, he actually resisted the tall old ghost with his exquisite marksmanship. The morale was greatly boosted, and at this time, when he saw the short old ghost rushing towards him and the others, he was a little panicked.

At this time, a calm voice came, it was Ling Huyi's voice, "Don't panic, just pull out your waist knife and shout kill." ”

When a group of cavalry heard this, they all brushed out their waist knives and shouted in unison to kill, and this shout can be described as a sonic shock in the open mountains and fields, echoing endlessly, startling bursts of birds.

After all, these soldiers, as the elite soldiers of Pingyang County, have the experience of fighting with Bianguan Yidi in the three-year rotation of border towns and border guards, although they have no experience of fighting with ghosts except for one battle with ghosts before, but good obedience still makes them make the right choice.

After the shouts of killing, the soldiers' faces no longer had the same frightened look as before.

The short old ghost was swept away by this killing sound, only to feel a dizziness coming from the river and the sea, and hurriedly retreated into the distance, looking at the soldier in front of him with a face full of jealousy.

"Waste" The tall old man scolded in his heart, but he was helpless. Looking at the small group of soldiers in front of him who looked like hedgehogs, Old Ghost Qi had never felt such a headache today.

Seeing the expressions of the two old men, Ling Hu Yi knew that they could not do anything about him, but it was difficult for several parties to fight back, so he ordered his subordinates to retreat slowly.

Then there was a ridiculous scene in the mountains and forests, and a group of cavalry, escorted by two old men shrouded in ghostly energy, kept leaving the mountain.

About two or three hours later, the old ghost tried a few more times, but they were all resisted by the soldiers under the command of Ling Huyi.

"The sun came out, and they receded. At this time, one of the cavalrymen let out a sigh of relief.

At this time, it was already noon, and a round of scorching sun in the sky, exuding a strong light, shone into the mountains and forests, dispelling the autumn fog and the haze in the hearts of the thirty or forty county soldiers.

Ling Huyi's deep and dark gaze glanced at the depths of the mountains and forests, and said loudly: "Go back to Changshui County and return to your lordship." ”

When the cavalry heard this order, they whipped their horses and galloped away in the direction of Changshui County like a violent wind.
