Chapter Twenty-Three: The Tiger Stands in Front of the Pass
"Rush!"
"Kill!"
The tiger is in front of the pass, and the murderous spirit is soaring. www.biquge.info The two armies of tens of thousands of people are fighting to the death, and the battle is extremely tragic.
Tiger Pass, originally a Xiongguan at the junction of Mengke and Yanguo, has been known as a place where soldiers must fight since ancient times.
Later, the Mengke Kingdom was taken by the newly established Great Chu Empire, which was established for a few years, and this Xiongguan is now in the hands of the Chu State, guarded by the general Gongsun Xiong.
At this moment, Gongsun Xiong took the lead, wielding two big hammers, rushing to the forefront, and in a moment's effort, more than a dozen Jin soldiers had died under his hammer.
Gongsun Xiong is a general who has risen in the Chu army in recent years, known as the iron general, the name of bravery, and the crown of the three armies.
He charged forward every time he fought, and he was very much loved by the soldiers. The Flying Tiger Army led by him is also one of the strongest armies in the Chu State.
Now he led 30,000 Chu soldiers to attack the 80,000-strong Yan army, and there was no fear on his face, and some were just excited.
A few days ago, the empress issued a decree and ordered him to wait for an opportunity to capture the Yan Kingdom, which led to today's war.
The empress promised in the holy decree that if he conquered the kingdom of Yan, she would crown him the king of Yan and give him a elixir that could prolong his life for fifty years.
And what made him most excited was that the empress promised that if he could capture Yan State, she would give him 10,000 muskets and let him form a sharpshooter battalion.
The sharpshooter battalion, that was the army of his dreams.
In the entire Great Chu Empire, there were only two such armies, one defending the Gyeonggi Army, and the other was led by the Generalissimo of the three armies of the Chu State, which conquered many kingdoms.
Since the establishment of the Shenji Battalion, it has not suffered a single defeat.
Gongsun Xiong had also seen the majestic posture of the Shenji Battalion attacking the city and plundering the land, and he didn't think that this was something that flesh and blood mortals could contend with.
He had never dreamed of having such an army.
In his heart, this is much more important than any royal power and wealth and longevity.
Behind him, he was followed by his personal army, a total of fifty men, each armed with muskets, and their combat effectiveness was quite impressive.
With this team of people close to him, he never has to worry about safety. They are like a meat grinder, and everywhere they go, flesh and blood fly everywhere, and no one can stop them.
Just a small team of 51 people, a few charges, the formation of the Yan army was disrupted, and the courage of the Yan soldiers was robbed.
The ensuing Chu army brigade was covered and killed, and the Yan soldiers, who were superior in numbers, showed signs of collapse.
"The name of General Tie is indeed true, and he is also a real tiger general. ”
Xia Hengyang, the commander of the Yan army, stood on a high slope in the distance, looking at the battlefield with emotion.
Beside him, stood a dozen brightly armored generals and a Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest beside him looked like he was only in his twenties, and he didn't think much of Xia Hengyang's feelings, and snorted: "It's just a brave horseman who is vain." If my nephew were to make a move, I would have taken his life with one move. ”
The generals next to him all had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
They knew Gongsun Xiong's ability, and among the Yan army, there was no one who could be his opponent. This little Taoist priest said that one move could kill him, and the cowhide was blown too big.
It's just that this little Taoist priest is the general's own nephew, and they don't dare to say anything.
Xia Hengyang smiled bitterly and said, "Feng'er, I know that you have learned immortal arts and have strong skills. However, Gongsun Xiong is a person who has experienced a hundred battles and is strong in martial arts, but he cannot be underestimated. He is the courage of the Flying Tiger Army of Chu State, as long as he is apart from him, the Flying Tiger Army will not be in trouble. If he could be killed so easily, he didn't know how many times he had died, would he still be able to act fiercely here?"
The little Taoist priest blushed and said loudly: "Uncle, don't provoke me, I'm here to help my uncle." I'm going to kill this fang right now and relieve my uncle of the big trouble. ”
I saw that he flipped his hand, and there was an extra yellow rune paper in his hand. There are many crooked runes drawn on the rune paper, and in the middle is a lifelike and vicious eagle.
The little Taoist priest took the rune paper, and there were words in his mouth, and suddenly his hand trembled, and he shouted "Go", and a carving sounded, and the big eagle painted on the rune paper actually moved.
As soon as the eagle's wings fluttered, it flew away from the rune paper, turning into a giant eagle several zhang in size against the wind, and with a wave of its two door-like wings, it rushed towards Gongsun Xiong, who was fighting on the battlefield.
Xia Hengyang and his subordinates were stunned, and opened their mouths wide and said, "This ...... This...... Is this immortal?"
The little Taoist priest said triumphantly: "This is the spirit talisman given to me by my master, which seals the soul of a demon bird. As soon as this talisman comes out, Gongsun Xiong will definitely die!"
Xia Hengyang was overjoyed, and said with his hand: "With such an immortal method as my nephew, why worry about my big Yan not being happy?"
The giant eagle was extremely fast, like a dark cloud, and in a blink of an eye, it approached Gongsun Xiong, and grabbed it with one claw.
Gongsun Xiong had fifty soldiers behind him, and he relied on the most to break the formation and kill the enemy. Among them was a boy who looked to be less than twenty years old, and although he followed the group with a musket, he never killed anyone.
It's just that whenever a soldier dies, a phantom image of a gourd flashes on his waist, which is also fleeting, and he can't see it at all if he doesn't pay attention.
When the little Taoist priest activated the spirit rune, he looked up and looked over there, and muttered in a low voice, "Didn't you say that the monk can't attack mortals with magic?
He was suspicious in his heart, but he saw the eagle eagle rushing towards Gongsun Xiong.
He knew that although Gongsun Xiong was brave, he was just a mortal in flesh and blood, and he couldn't stop this grasp at all. At that moment, he shouted "The evil animal looks at the sword", his mouth opened, and a three-inch small sword spit out from his mouth, turning into a three-foot Qingfeng in the wind, and slashing towards the eagle.
I saw a blue light around, and the eagle's claws were broken.
The eagle shouted, and saw that the blue light was split down, and it was split in half at once, fluttered twice, and turned into two wisps of black smoke and dispersed.
From the time the young man took out the sword to the time he killed the eagle, it was only a matter of the blink of an eye, and even those with poor eyesight couldn't see what was happening.
When the little Taoist priest who was receiving praise saw this scene, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he said in shock: "Spirit weapon!
Those who can use spiritual weapons must at least be cultivated in the foundation building period, which makes the little Taoist who is only in the late stage of qi cultivation shocked.
Xia Hengyang also saw the abnormality, and hurriedly asked his nephew: "What's the matter?
The little Taoist priest said with a frightened face: "The enemy army has a worldly master hidden in it, and his cultivation is extremely high, I am afraid that my master will have to go out to take it." Uncle, if you're not here today, you'd better order to retreat!"
"They are so powerful as a monk? Our army has 80,000 people, and the other side has only 30,000 people. If you retreat because you are afraid of the existence of a monk, this is too much to say, right?" Xia Hengyang frowned.
