Chapter 174: Fierce Fight
Xu Yang lurked quietly behind the sand dunes, constantly observing the movements of the army in the distance.
In the desert in August, the day was still very hot, and the hot sand scorched Xu Yang's body, and the sweat kept staying, dripping onto the sand, and then quickly volatilizing, leaving no traces.
This kind of day is the hardest time.
However, Xu Yang remained motionless, except for those flexible eyes that were still observing the distance, and all other body parts remained completely still.
This maximizes the retention of physical strength and water in the body, and at such times, the slightest omission may cause him to lose his combat effectiveness due to heat stroke.
I don't know how long it took, suddenly Xu Yang's eyes lit up, even if it is an elite army, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes, and even if people are careful, there will be omissions.
At the end of the line, there was a small group of Qing troops, looking a little listless under the scorching sun, and even a few soldiers were looking around, apparently looking for water to quench their thirst.
With a flaw, there will be an opportunity, and there is an oasis not far ahead, and the opportunity may appear there.
However, Xu Yang still maintained an immobile posture, and he still did not move until the time when the last group of Qing troops had passed and the incense was burned.
After waiting for a while, suddenly in a sand dune next to the Qing army's marching route, several men wearing earthy yellow coats came out, shaking off the sand grains on their bodies, and they hurriedly chased the group away.
Obviously, they are all masters of Ouchi, and they are specially ambushing scout sentries who are preparing to ambush Huiren, but this time they met the more patient Xu Yang, so they failed to succeed.
A smile appeared on the corner of Xu Yang's mouth, compared with the previous Qing soldiers with unstable military discipline, these masters are the real "flaws".
If it's not a flaw, let them become a flaw.
Xu Yang moved, floating abruptly from behind the sand dunes like a big eagle, and slowly landed on the avenue that the Qing army had stepped on on on the march.
Then he chased the direction of the yellow-clothed master and rushed all the way.
His light skills at this time can be said to be a rare opponent in the world, and he quickly chased after the few yellow-clothed people who had been ambushed before, and then rushed up like a ghost-like figure, and the cold moon treasure knife in his hand flashed away, and the last two yellow-clothed masters only had time to scream for half a time, and their heads had already fallen to the ground, and blood was scattered all over the ground.
At this time, the three yellow-clothed men in front heard the screams of their companions behind them, and looked back, at this time, Xu Yang was already close, and he used a field battle in all directions, and immediately a good head rose to the sky, and the other two were obviously higher in martial arts, reacted faster, and retreated sharply, but this knife did not work.
The two glanced at each other and made a decision in an instant, this middle-aged man who came suddenly like a ghost was not something they could stop.
One of his figures changed, showing his two shields, and held the door tightly, while the other continued to retreat sharply, and he had to take advantage of the opportunity created by his companions to retreat to the Qing army brigade and report the attack to the commander.
How could Xu Yang let their plan succeed, and immediately used the Hu family's quick knife, a knife as tight as a knife, and the knife slashed at the key point of the master holding the shield.
The shield master guards the portal and wields his shield to defend against the onslaught of the swift knife.
The two shields were made of pure steel and ugin, although they were not big, they were extremely thick, and they were not inferior even to the sword of the Shangbao sword, and Xu Yang was blocked by him several times in succession.
Xu Yang saw that the figure of the other man in yellow was gradually moving away, and he laughed angrily, the master in yellow in front of him, his martial arts were actually not extremely high, but he focused on defense, and Xu Yang might not be able to do anything with him for a while.
If you cross him to chase the person in front, it won't be appropriate, the two can exchange strategies at any time, become shield masters to warn the Qing army, besides, they can't do it and communicate fireworks and other things, once the warning signal is issued, their previous plan will have to be reset, and the opportunity to blend in with the Qing army like this convenient, I don't know when I will wait for the next time.
Quickly decided, Xu Yang made up his mind, the Cold Moon Treasure Knife danced more quickly, slashing again and again, but the opponent's defense was extremely tight, and it still couldn't work after more than a dozen moves.
Seeing that the other master in yellow had run farther and farther, and was about to leave his sight, Xu Yang sank down instead, remembering what Miao Renfeng once said, sometimes the Hu family's knife technique is not as fast as possible, but to use the rhythm to drive the opponent.
Xu Yang simply ignored the person who fled before, and concentrated on dealing with the defense master in front of him, but calmed down, not attacking and killing like the storm at the beginning, and the knife moves slowly became old and spicy, and often a knife was swung, which was where the other party's flaws were.
This change made the shield wielder feel miserable all of a sudden.
His martial arts were originally far inferior to Xu Yang, he had previously taken advantage of the other party's impatience and defended it with all his might, and although Xu Yang's sword skills were fast, they often had traces to follow, as long as he was strictly guarded in the place where he must attack, he could be safe.
However, now Xu Yang's rhythm has changed, although it is still the same knife technique as before, but the power has obviously increased, and a knife swing is obviously an attack on the three ways, but when his shield is ready to defend, the knife momentum has changed, but it has become an attack on his own plate, and he can only withdraw a shield to defend, but Xu Yang will take the opportunity to punch the shield on the defense of the three ways, his internal strength is strong, the palm is powerful, the knife and fist are coordinated, in just a few moves, the man in yellow is in danger, almost dangerous.
However, he is still resisting desperately, only hoping to help his companions fight for even a few more opportunities, and often this short delay is the difference between life and death.
And Xu Yang's heart is empty at this time, although the whole person feels that the exhaustion of the body has reached the limit because of the previous long ambush, but the mind is unprecedentedly calm, and the whole person has entered a state similar to Zen enlightenment, every move of the opponent, it seems that he can judge in advance, and every time the knife is used, he can feel how it will work in the end, the existence of this subtle feeling, every second has benefited Xu Yang a lot.
Xu Yang knew that this kind of opportunity was really rare, and if he made good use of it, his martial arts realm would be able to reach a higher level, so he was not in a hurry to solve the opponent in front of him.
The right hand slashed out diagonally, it didn't seem to be aimed at the opponent's vital point, but the shield bearer didn't dare not block, this knife seemed to be weak and weak, but years of experience told him that if he despised this knife, he would definitely die.
Gritting his teeth, the double shields carried the sound of the wind, blocking the path of the sword move.
