Chapter 683: Strange Soldiers
Although there are many sects in the opposing array, except for Liu Yuanhe and a few masters, the others are all rabble, and that group of Tsing Yi knights can be regarded as elite, but Chu Changting can see at a glance that none of them have practiced superior martial arts, and they cannot be compared with the Black Eagle Horseman.
The conditions of such a duel, no matter how you look at it, are greatly beneficial to Chu Changting. However, his gaze was on the cowhide cover hanging from the saddle of the disciples of the Perak Camp opposite, and his heart moved, and he sneered: "Young Master Hua put forward this condition, but do you want to use firearms to hurt people?"
Hua Bushi shrugged his shoulders and said with a light smile: "You say that you are cowardly and don't admit it! Okay, we might as well set another condition, the two sides are only superior in martial arts, and are not allowed to use any firearms and hidden weapons, now you can rest assured, right?"
Chu Changting said: "Okay, then say so! Call your people over, and we will fight it out under the valley!"
With his martial arts, he was not afraid of ordinary muskets, but if the other party sent fifty musketeers, although Chu Changting was sure that he would be able to win, the fifty Black Eagle horsemen under his command would inevitably be damaged. Now that Hua Bushi promised not to use firearms, he no longer hesitated and agreed.
At the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain, there is a peach forest in the valley, which is in the middle of the people and horses on both sides, and the more than 100 peach trees in the forest are six or seven feet high, and the branches and leaves are very dense.
Chu Changting gave an order, and fifty underworld knights had already galloped out and came to the peach forest. From a closer look, it is clear that these knights are tall and large, and their bodies are stronger than the disciples of the Perak camp, and their bodies are covered in impenetrable chain mail, and their forearms are covered with jet-black arm guards, and the raised sharp blades on them are like eagle claws, which is probably the origin of the name of the Black Eagle Horseman.
Liu Yuanhe was already ready to fight to the death with Chu Changting, but now Hua Bushi suddenly changed the conditions and set a duel method for a fifty-person battle, which made the "Luohan Gate" elder quite stunned. He could also see the strength of those knights on the other side, even if he selected fifty of the strongest masters from the forty Baidao sects, and joined him to meet the enemy together, he was afraid that the result would be worse than if he and Chu Changting fought alone.
Hua Bushi also saw the look on his face and said, "Elder Liu, please retreat to the slope to watch the battle!"
Hearing this young master Hua's tone, he didn't even want him to participate in the war, Liu Yuanhe was even more stunned in his heart, and said resolutely: "No! Since Elder Ben has signed his name on that battle sticker, he is not afraid to fight with Chu Changting!"
Hua Bushi shook his head and said, "Although Elder Liu is not afraid, this duel is related to the success or failure of our side, and Young Master Ben has already made arrangements, so Elder Liu should retreat first." ”
Liu Yuanhe was about to say more, but Yuan Xi had already come to his side and persuaded: "Uncle Liu, since this trip is the main business of Young Master Hua, let's follow his arrangement, presumably Young Master Hua will definitely have a plan to break the enemy." ”
At this time, Hua Bushi turned his head to Chu Yiyi and asked, "Mrs. Yiyi, have they arrived for thousands of miles?"
Chu Yiyi replied: "It's already here, but Gongzi wants to order them to come out?"
Hua Bushi said: "There is Mrs. Lao." ”
Chu Yiyi pursed her lips and smiled, reached out and took out a wooden whistle from her arms, put it on Sakura's lips and blew it, and the melodious whistle suddenly sounded in the valley.
Liu Yuanhe, Yuan Xi, and even everyone on the hillside could all see that this kind of action was sending a signal, it turned out that this Young Master Hua had already laid reinforcements here, no wonder he dared to challenge Chu Changting unashamedly.
At this time, another whistle was heard coming from the Qinhe River, which was obviously a response to Chu Yiyi's whistle. Everyone raised their eyes to look up the river, but they saw that out of the reeds, five small wooden boats were rowed, and on each wooden boat stood a dozen or so people, and sure enough, the total number was about fifty.
Yuan Xi couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Hua, do you want them to duel with Chu Changting and the Black Eagle Horse?"
Hua Bushi smiled leisurely and said, "I have already said that I have prepared two treasures to deal with Chu Changting, the trebuchet oil tank is the first, and they are the second." ”
Everyone was able to confront Chu Changting's underworld army on the Yellow River for several days, the trebuchet and the oil tank were indispensable, Hua Bushi's first treasure played a big role, and now at the moment of the decisive battle, can the second treasure of the eldest young master also be able to defeat the enemy?
Yuan Xi's heart was full of curiosity, and he raised his eyes to gaze, but saw that the people standing on the wooden boat were all dressed in green clothes and short shirts, and each of them was carrying a long sword diagonally behind their shoulders, and the green silk streamers on the hilt of the sword were flying in the breeze, but they were all about twenty years old.
At their age, even among the famous sects such as Shaolin and Wudang, they can only be regarded as junior disciples, and their martial arts must not have been completed, can they compete with Chu Changting and the fifty battle-hardened underworld horsemen?
Yuan Xi was puzzled, but his eyes suddenly fell on a young man standing straight on the bow of the wooden boat in front. The man was in his early twenties, and he was also dressed in a green shirt, and the hilt of his sword behind his shoulder was not tied with a streamer like other swordsmen, except for a bare white oak with no decoration, and his left arm was sleeved in a belt.
It turned out that this young man only had one arm! In an instant, Yuan Xi had already guessed who this person was.
Yu Qianli's killing of Chi Huameng in Wuyang City and his defeat of Bailiyin on the Xiangjiang River have already spread all over the rivers and lakes, and he is actually the most famous one among the "Five Little Dogs".
The boat traveled very fast, and in a blink of an eye, it had sailed to the shore, but I saw a group of swordsmen in Tsing Yi disembarking separately and coming towards the hillside. From the swiftness of their actions, it can be seen that everyone's light skills are extraordinary, and the pure spirit temperament between actions and actions can show that their internal skills are not weak, and they are not under the disciples of famous families.
Yuan Xi was secretly surprised, thinking that this "evil dog boy" had already made full preparations for today's battle, and this battle might not have no chance of winning.
"Master is above, Yu Qianli will see you!" the one-armed young man saluted.
Behind him, a group of Tsing Yi swordsmen also clenched their fists, and said in unison: "Qingyunwei see the young master!"
On the same day, when he came out of Kunshan, Hua Bushi decided to develop Shili in Yujing. Although the current situation is very chaotic, and the Demon Dao is manipulating the "Rich Alliance" and fighting with the "Luohan Gate" and the "Shaolin Sect", this eldest young master does not want to back down, but hopes to use this opportunity to compete for a place in the Yu Realm.
If you want to fight for hegemony, the first condition is to have sufficient force. When he came to Yujing this time, Hua Bushi never thought that he would face such a big battle, and Yang Jiangyi's departure made him feel that the liliang around him was insufficient. Therefore, Hua Bushi asked Chu Yiyi to pass the book to Hunan Realm, and ordered Yu Qianli in Changsha City to bring Qingyunwei to hurry up.
Now there are three war divisions in the "Evil Dog Gate", except for the Perak Battalion next to Hua Bushi, Yu Qianli led Qingyunwei to guard the Changsha rudder, and Zhu Hong led the Thorn Tiger Warriors to protect the rudder of the sect in the coastal areas of Guangdong and Fujian and Okura Island, as well as the safety of ocean-going trade ships. Hua Bushi transferred Qingyunwei, first, Changsha City is much closer to Guangdong and Fujian, and second, there are masters such as his father Hua Tianxiong and his second uncle in the helm of Wuyang City, which is not far from Changsha City, even if Qingyunwei and Yu Qianli leave temporarily, there should be no problem with Changsha rudder.
When Yu Qianli and his entourage entered the Yu realm, Hua Bushi had already set off from Kaifeng with more than 40 families and took a boat along the Yellow River waterway to Mengjin.
The means of communication of the "Thousand Flowers" were very fast, and Hua Bushi could grasp the itinerary of Yu Qianli and Qingyunwei at any time, and he had already expected that the fleet of the heroes would be intercepted by the underworld when they reached Taohuayu, so that they could rush to this place directly.
After three days of defending on the river with trebuchets and fire pots, Yu Qianli and Qingyunwei were able to arrive, and Hua Bushi decided on today's plan to ambush them on the Qin River and become a surprise army.
Seeing Yu Qianli at this time, Hua Bushi's heart swelled with a lot of emotion, after returning from the South China Sea, he has been busy in various realms, expanding the sect shili, establishing a rudder, but he has never been to Changsha City. To sum up, it has been nearly two years since the last time he and this senior disciple met before they left for Wanyi Island.
Yu Qianli is still thin and straight, giving people the intuition of an independent and sharp sword, and his face is still slightly pale, no different from two years ago, except that his eyes and temperament seem to be more calm.
Hua Bushi had already jumped off the horse, stretched out his hand to help Yu Qianli, there were many things he wanted to say, but his lips trembled a few times, but he didn't say anything after all, and only said after a while: "Qianli, the strong enemy doesn't have time to talk about it at the moment, and after this battle, I will catch up with you again!"
Yu Qianli bowed his head and said, "Okay, Qianli will definitely fight with all his might!"
This peach forest in the ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ valley has a total radius of thirty zhang, and the slopes where the heroes of the various white dao sects are located and the underworld people and horses who came back from Chu Changting stand at both ends of the peach forest, far away, and everyone's eyes are looking at the valley.
On the other two sides of the valley, on one side is the steep stone peak of Taohuayu, and on the other side is a large patch of white-flowered reeds on the bank of the Qin River.
To say that there are mountains and rivers here, reeds and white grass green, the scenery is really good, but it is a pity that after a while, it will become a duel battle killing field.
Yu Qianli and forty-nine Qingyunwei were already standing in the valley, and the green branches and leaves of the peach trees seemed to have dissolved into one with the green shirts on their bodies. Chu Changting and fifty Black Eagle horsemen were outside the peach forest, retreating more than ten zhang away.
Knights charge with horsepower, and naturally they must have a certain distance to achieve maximum power.
