Chapter 7 Red smoke shoots at the sun, and a torch turns into scorched earth
After listening to Lin Xu's strategy, Bao Chuxiong praised the wonders, and ordered his subordinate Sun Xiaoguan to lead a group of men and horses to fight up the mountain, and be sure to lure the Dafeng Zhai group to the open space in front of him.
After Captain Sun ordered all the men and horses and took the order to leave, Bao Chuxiong took the remaining more than 200 soldiers and hid in the nearby mountains and forests, just waiting for those bandits to come and kill them together.
Looking at the foolproof arrangement in front of him, Bao Chuxiong felt a little proud:
"These unscrupulous cowards, using such tactics to deal with them, is it a bit of a way to elevate them?"
"This victory is decided!"
As soon as he thought of the upcoming siege battle, Bao Chuxiong was excited, repeatedly checking the ring buckle of the Mingguang armor there, and rubbing the big ring knife in his hand on the armor repeatedly, unable to calm down for a moment. After tossing for a while, the war-hungry Bao Duwei began to keep touching the forest from the cracks in the trees, just waiting for Officer Sun to attract those bandits.
The bandits in Dafeng Village did not let Bao Duwei wait for a long time. Just before the soldiers who lured the enemy were sent out, the ambush soldiers in the forest heard a shouting and noise outside the forest—
I saw that Colonel Sun was leading fifty or sixty remnants of soldiers, and retreated in a panic. Behind him, a group of bandits were shouting and shouting in hot pursuit. The group of defeated soldiers of the government in front of them, if they look at it from the back, seem to be embarrassed and panicked, but it is clear that Bao Chuxiong and the others can see it clearly from the front, and the faces of these defeated soldiers of Nanhai County are all at ease.
"Good boy, there are really two hits! It is worthy of being an old subordinate who has followed me Bao Chuxiong for many years!"
In addition to the secret praise, Bao Chuxiong made a gesture for the archers to prepare to release the arrows.
After a while, when those mountain bandits approached a little closer, Bao Chuxiong could see clearly that the group of bandit chasing soldiers was only fifty or sixty people.
"Huh? Seems to be a little missing. Isn't the rest too hungry to walk?......
When Bao Chuxiong was suspicious, he suddenly saw a person who fell back in the bandits, it was Jiao Wang, the owner of Dafeng Village and the "Golden Retrieved Tiger" who was thinking about it and wanted to capture him quickly!
At this moment, Jiao Wang's guy was shouting wildly, constantly urging his subordinates to speed up their pace.
At a glance at this guy, Bao Chuxiong's doubts disappeared, and a wave of anger rushed up. After a closer look, the number of thieves around Jiao Wang is really not much.
"Haha! Jiao Thief will see where you are running this time!"
Immediately, Bao Chuxiong yelled:
"Don't hurry your arrows, and rush with me!"
"This Lao Tzu wants to catch him alive! Whoever captures the bandit leader Golden Retriever Tiger alive will be rewarded heavily!"
After speaking, this Bao Chuxiong jumped out of the forest first. Seeing Lord Du Lieutenant rushing out, the ambush soldiers in the forest rose up, shouted out, and rushed out after him.
After Xingyan, Lin Xu and the others rushed out, they also followed out of the forest, on alert at any time, ready to deal with the demon who secretly set fire.
As soon as the ambush soldiers came out of the forest, the county soldiers who were fleeing immediately turned around and killed them. The bandits, who were close behind him, were caught off guard, and more than a dozen people were suddenly killed on the spot.
Jiao Wang, the golden retriever who was bent on chasing the enemy, suddenly saw the sworn enemy Bao Chuxiong, who was leading the military horses to sweep out of the woods next to him, and was immediately shocked. In such a situation, the slightest hesitation is a catastrophe.
However, at this critical juncture, there is no need to bother Jiao Wang to greet him, his brothers have already dragged him back and run, and the posture is faster than a rabbit.
In the midst of the chaos, this Jiao Dazhai master, who was fierce and had knife marks all over his face, did not forget to turn around and scold:
"Bao Chuxiong, you kill a thousand knives! Dare to use such indiscriminate means to plot against you Grandpa Jiao!"
"Haha! You fool still dare to call yourself grandpa? Now Bao will call you dead without a place to be buried!"
Scolding back in his mouth, Bao Chuxiong urged the war horse under his crotch and chased after him. However, this mountainous area is full of potholes, and it is not fast to run on a war horse. Bao Chuxiong chased very unpleasantly, so he immediately turned over and dismounted, carried a big knife, and took a big stride to chase forward with his soldiers.
At this time, Xingyan Lin Xu and the others also followed the county soldiers and marched forward, always searching left and right, and beware of demons secretly casting spells. Worried about the thief, Xingyan took Qiong Wei off the white horse and let her follow behind him.
The bandits of Dafeng Village and the county soldiers of Nanhai County chased after each other.
"Bad luck! These thieves don't seem to have enough to eat, but they are really fast when they run!"
Seeing that the soldiers and bandits had been separating from each other, Bao Chuxiong couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Now the bandits in front of him in front of him were like fires on their buttocks, and their legs were running fast, running tirelessly in front of the county soldiers.
However, what made Bao Duwei quite relieved was that this time he chased all the way, and there were no more flames blocking the way of the officers and soldiers.
"Ha~ It seems that this demon is also very interesting, knowing that there is a master of the Heavenly Master Sect in charge, so he doesn't dare to come out and touch the mold!"
Bao Chuxiong was in a good mood, and his steps were quickened a lot.
However, the officer Sun who was in charge of luring the enemy now felt a little strange:
The mountain bandits he met on the road just now did not flee back to the cottage the same way, but ran around the hillside towards the depths of Huoyun Mountain.
However, now the group of bandits in front of them is scattered and scattered, and they should be in a panic.
"Well, I think it's because the mountain bandits don't want to lead the officers and soldiers into their lair. But Jiao Wang, this time it's hard to fly!"
Unconsciously, the pursuers came to a col surrounded by mountains on three sides.
This col is surrounded by gentle slopes on three sides, facing the towering peaks of the Fire Cloud. The surrounding hillsides were covered with red-foliage trees, with staggered branches and impermeable branches, and beneath the feet were reddish-brown thatch, and the soldiers were knee-deep and submerged in the grass. The breath of the wind blowing down from the high mountains brings a hint of oppressive heat.
Being in this red col is like standing on a large burning fireground. The clouds in the sky are casting a huge shadow on this fire.
Seeing this strange terrain, and then seeing the bandits in front of him who were busy dispersing in the forest, Xingyan's heart suddenly moved:
"Strange, how can this scene be so familiar? It's like someone has just mentioned it to me......
"It's not good—— this, isn't this Lin Xu's trick 'throwing bricks and attracting jade'?!"
Just when Xingyan suddenly realized that something was wrong, and was about to shout to remind Bao Duwei, he had already seen Jiao Wang, the golden retriever who had been busy escaping, suddenly stopped in front of the hillside forest, turned around and smiled, and said in a good time:
"Lord Bao, Lord Bao, who doesn't know that I am a golden retriever and a tiger with wisdom and bravery, and dare to play this kind of trick in front of me! Okay, Lao Tzu wants to see who has no place to die today!"
As soon as Jiao Wang's words fell, he heard a bang, and a rain of arrows flew out of the forest!
This dark arrow came so suddenly, the county soldiers who rushed in front didn't have time to cover it with their shields, and more than a dozen people immediately fell in response, and even the left arm that Bao Chuxiong's iron armor couldn't cover was rubbed with an arrow, and blood flowed like an infusion.
Seeing that the main general was injured, those soldiers immediately raised their shields and rushed up to protect Bao Chuxiong from the battle.
At this moment, Xing Yan couldn't help but look at the disciple of the Heavenly Master Sect - he saw that his white face had already shown a bit of shame, and he was obviously ashamed!
However, although the soldiers of Nanhai County were hit by the thieves by surprise and lost some of their manpower, these soldiers who often suppressed bandits were also experienced, and after the initial panic passed, they immediately reacted and formed a large circular formation with both ends and ends, and everyone in the formation raised their shields to protect their heads and faces, and the outermost soldiers knelt on one knee, the spear blade forward, and used their shields to protect their entire body.
Under such strict protection, there was not much damage to the soldiers after that. At the same time, the arrows shot by the thieves from the forest gradually became scarce. After a while, there were no more arrows shooting out of the dense forest. It seems that the bandits' arrows are not stocked much, and they have run out of arrows at this time.
Seeing this situation, Bao Chuxiong endured the pain and scolded loudly:
"Jiao Wang, you despicable thief, just because you want to plot against you Bao Ye? If you let me catch you, you will definitely be broken into pieces!"
"Hah, okay, then I'll wait! But don't let me wait too long!"
In response, Jiao Wang flashed into the forest just before the arrow reached him.
Seeing that he couldn't catch the turtle in the urn, and was bitten by Wang Ba, he immediately made this Bao Chuxiong so angry that he couldn't get into the smoke, and decided to no longer care about what Lao Shizi "entered the forest" - the angry county lieutenant pulled out the arrow that was not deep in his arm, broke it and fell to the ground, so he raised his knife and moved forward, and he was about to order the pursuit.
Just when Bao Chuxiong's knife was still stopped in mid-air, everyone suddenly heard a "boom" in their ears; when they looked again, they saw that a sky-high fire had been lit on the grass in front of the battle!
With a hint of scorching mountain wind, it was blowing down the hillside, and the fire that broke out on the flat ground took advantage of the wind to poke out its fierce red tongue to the circle of the soldiers, and the waves of fire came overwhelmingly, as if to swallow up the isolated island in the sea of fire in one fell swoop!
Suffering from this great change, the originally neat round formation of county soldiers immediately loosened and scattered. Although these soldiers had fire avoidance charms painted on their armor, before this amazing fire, they could not help but instinctively dodge when they saw the flames rushing towards them.
The wind fueled the fire, and the red thatch under the feet of the county soldiers gradually burned. For a while, the horses neighed, boiling and chaotic.
"Then the arson demon still did it!"
Immediately, this group of Heavenly Master Sect disciples, including the seven or eight sect members, immediately took out the clear water talisman and threw it towards the sea of fire in front of the formation. These talismans made by the Heavenly Master Sect, as soon as they touched the flame of the tongue of fire, they turned into water dragons and threw themselves towards the flames.
In the water curtain formed by the connection of these clear water talismans, the burning momentum of the fire was gradually contained. However, the area of this fire is very large, and there are still many places where the talismans have not yet arrived, and the flames are still attacking everyone by the wind.
At this moment, I saw Zhang Yun'er, a female disciple of the Heavenly Master's Sect, take out a talisman from her sleeve, raise her hand and throw it into the air, and then quickly recite the incantation in her mouth.
In the sound of this urgent incantation, the talisman that floated in the air suddenly burst into blue light, emitting dazzling brilliance. When the brilliance faded slightly, everyone saw that there was a glittering blue light, huge and friendless "Nagi" word, which stopped in mid-air and froze.
Suddenly, just like this stagnant rune, the original wind that was floating in the sky also disappeared for a while.
As the mountain wind faded, the flames that were spreading under everyone's feet immediately stopped the ferocious momentum.
Under the water splashing spell of the Heavenly Master's disciples Fu Qi and Xiao Qiongwei, the momentum of this artificial fire finally decreased, and only sporadic flames were still flickering unwillingly.
"Whew! I didn't expect that demon's arson technique to be so powerful! But fortunately, I have a Heavenly Master here. ”
Although he had encountered several arsons, it was the first time Bao Chuxiong had seen such a ferocious momentum. Therefore, in addition to having palpitations, I can't help but secretly rejoice.
"It seems that this time to crack down on bandits, we still have to deal with it with twelve points of spirit. ”
Now, Bao Chuxiong is not as optimistic as before.
"Brethren, listen clearly! Let us stand back for a moment, for the terrain before us is not conducive to our battle. ”
This fire finally made Bao Duwei calm down, and he saw that the terrain in front of him was clearly an encirclement, and it was definitely not a place to stay for a long time.
"Haha, trying to escape, it's not that easy!"
Just as the soldiers were retreating in an orderly manner, they suddenly heard another arrogant laugh in the dense forest on the slope. Bao Chuxiong could hear it clearly, the person who spoke was none other than the leader of the thieves, the golden retriever Jiao Wang.
With this sound of snorting, a strange howl suddenly sounded in the dense forest ahead, like thunder.
Just when everyone was in shock, they suddenly saw that in the dense forest, hundreds of fierce mountain beasts were rushing out, and they rushed towards them as if they were crazy!
And behind these vicious wolves and wild pigs, those bandits from the Great Wind Village who had fled before rushed out again screaming wildly, just waiting for these fierce beasts in front of them to rush through a bloody road, and they were about to follow and slaughter the remnants.
This time, there were more than 100 bandits rushing to kill, and it seemed that they had already gone out.
"Brothers, don't panic! Desperately try your best to resist me! It's useless to escape, turn around and die!"
Seeing the strange situation in front of him, Bao Chuxiong did not panic at all, and concisely issued military orders to those stunned county soldiers.
Seeing that the situation had taken a sharp turn for the worse, the Heavenly Master had taught everyone to hurriedly cast talismans in front of the formation, intending to stop those crazy beasts. At this time, Lin Xu, Sheng Hengtang, Zhang Yun'er and other main forces of the Heavenly Master Sect all used their housekeeping skills, or sacrificed the "Explosive Flame Flying Sword", or used the "Ice Rune", or unfolded the "Thousand Illusion Siluo", just wanting to be able to stop the impact of these beasts like a landslide. Seeing that the situation was critical, Xingyan hurriedly asked Qiong Wei to release a sea of fire at the hooves of those fierce beasts, intending to stop it, and he himself quickly used the "Ice Heart Knot" and cast it on the mountain beasts from afar.
Under the full force of the awakening people, the momentum of the rushing beasts slowed down slightly, but they still rushed towards this side without hesitation. In the blink of an eye, the soldiers of the county were already fighting with the beasts, shouting and groaning.
"Colonel Sun, bring someone to protect the mage behind the formation!"
Now Bao Chuxiong can see that no matter what Lin Xu's plan was before, but now these Taoist mages are all his hopes. The grand aspiration of exterminating the bandits has come to naught, and now the question has become how to bring as many of the children of the South China Sea back to Jieyang alive as possible.
When Sun Xiaoguan led people to Lin Xu and said that the mage was shrinking, the mutation was born again!
Just as the herd came into contact with the formation, one of the mastiffs, with a huge body and iron-colored coat, suddenly turned over from under the wolf's belly and straddled the mastiff's back. This man who suddenly appeared had a face like blue indigo, a huge physique, and looked like a fierce god.
Now, the giant man sat on the wolf horse, looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and sprinkled a red gourd in his hand at will—
I saw hundreds of flame-drenched locusts surging out of the gourd's mouth, fluttering their fire-colored wings, flying towards those county soldiers!
Immediately, many county soldiers climbed on their armor with this kind of seeping fireflies shining brightly, and the red grass under their feet also rose into flames. Suddenly, the battlefield in front of him was filled with thick smoke, waves of fire swallowed the sky, and bursts of miserable howls sounded from time to time.
Although all the soldiers are pre-painted with fire avoidance charms, looking at the demon man's method, I am afraid it will not last long.
Seeing the demon appear, Lin Xu, Sheng Hengtang, and Zhang Yun'er immediately stepped forward with their swords, each using their own means to guard the house and resist this fierce god, so that he would not have time to set fire.
And before that, Bao Chuxiong had already rushed up once, wanting to fight with this giant man - but in a flash, the big ring knife in his hand was knocked away by the giant man's heavy axe, and his arms were also shocked to numbness, and he could hardly turn; when the giant man temporarily put down the red gourd and was about to come to deal with him, Bao Duwei's own soldiers rushed forward desperately and snatched Bao Chuxiong back with his bare hands.
Seeing that the difference in strength was too great, the fierce general sighed:
"That's it, this demon should let the Heavenly Master teach the Dao Masters to deal with it. I'm still here to organize the men and horses to resist the beast herd bandits. ”
Taking a ring-headed machete handed by his subordinates, Bao Chuxiong reinvigorated his spirits and led his subordinates to wrestle with these enemy beasts in front of him.
With the lesson of Captain Bao Du just now, now these three Heavenly Master Sect members do not fight hard with that giant man, but only fight back and forth around him like a marquee, ensuring that he has no time to set fire to the county soldiers again. At the beginning, Lin Xu and the others looked at the empty space, and threw talismans two or three times at this demon man, which made this demon man suffer a lot of losses.
It's just that this giant man is also really brave, and Lin Xu and the others don't have many such opportunities. And after a while, even if they have a spare time, they can no longer use the talisman with their hands free - because the inventory in their arms has been exhausted, and they have no time to make it on the spot. Therefore, now these four people are fighting inextricably, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner for a while.
Just when the smoke was burning and the wolves were rushing, the soldiers of Nanhai County gradually became a little unable to resist, and the casualties gradually increased.
Besides, the young hall master of the Shangqing Palace, his subordinates and those Heavenly Master Sect Sect people helped the county soldiers to resist the enemy, but he was nervously thinking about a question in his mind:
"It stands to reason that fierce beasts are afraid of fire, but why are these wolves in front of them so cunning that they still ignore the impact when they see the flames released by the demon in front of them?"
After freezing a few wolves with the "Ice Heart Knot", he got a little closer to the herd, and said that through the misty fireworks, he carefully observed these fierce beasts that kept pounced.
After choking on a few puffs of smoke, he finally discovered that on the buttocks and backs of these beasts, there was a small piece of demonic open flame, quietly burning.
"Ahem, ahem, I see!"
While coughing, he nervously thought about countermeasures:
"What should I do? Let Qiong Wei splash water around?"
"It's not proper! When this soldier is in a panic, there are wolves and pigs jumping everywhere, and soldiers and bandits are running and killing everywhere, with the strength of this little girl behind him, how can he take care of this beast flying all over the field? If it is not good, it is very likely to be trampled down by the chaotic army!"
At this time, the smoke and flames were everywhere in front of him, and the sound of shouting and killing was deafening, and the sound of screams and roars kept hitting the eardrums of Xingyan. In this strange and tragic battlefield in front of us, man and beast are intertwined, and it is difficult to distinguish one from the other, and although the number of mountain beasts is only about a hundred, it often takes three or four soldiers to withstand and kill a mad beast.
In the choking smell of gunfire smoke, there are bursts of unpleasant smell of burnt skin and flesh from time to time. In the distance, those bandits from Dafeng Village, who were ready to reap the profits, were watching the battle in front of the forest for a long time, and from time to time they broke out with extremely unbridled laughter and scolding.
In the midst of this chaos, the young man's mind was extremely calm.
Only in the flash of light, Xingyan has already turned countless thoughts in his mind, and after a while, the final decision has been made repeatedly-this young man with a few smoke marks on his face is showing a somewhat helpless look:
"Well, no matter what, that's all there is to it now!"
"Qiong Wei, come with my brother!"
Awakening who made up his mind, he turned around and grabbed the girl who had been leaning behind him, and ran towards the white horse Feixue, who was restless by the fire.
After flying on the horse, Xingyan dragged Xiao Qiongwei onto the horse again.
"Brother, shall we go first?"
The little girl asked suspiciously behind her back.
However, her brother did not answer, and only took the reins of the horse to the cross-mile - only to hear a long whistle of the white horse, and then rushed away in the opposite direction of the battlefield.
Behind him, Lin Xu, who was besieging the giant demon with his brothers and sisters, heard the long neighing of the white horse, looked back, and saw the back of the young man beating the horse and leaving:
"This coward, coward!"
Lin Xu couldn't help but scold. With this distraction, the iron sword in his hand was almost swept off by the demon man's giant axe!
