Gordon's angry shouts were like a thunderbolt from the blue, instantly reaching the ears of the patrol soldiers who were fighting on their own. The soldiers looked back one after another, looking at their own general who appeared behind them like a magic weapon descending from the sky, and their spirits suddenly lifted.
Ignoring the blood gushing from his shoulders, Gordon quickly walked to the side of several corps commanders, pulled out a long sword from one of their waists, held the sword in his hand and shouted: "The patrols listen to the order, retreat!"
With the general in mind, the soldiers immediately became orderly, abandoning the enemy in front of them, and retreated one after another. Within a moment, a group of patrolling soldiers had retreated in front of their own general. Compared with the previous fights on their own, they were obviously more relaxed. Much more orderly.
The shouts of killing stopped, and the dead soldiers of Jindaomen did not expect that the soldiers who were fighting on their own a moment ago would change their previous decline because of the addition of a general, and they would advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and they would all look at the number of soldiers who were still fighting. There were twice as many soldiers on patrol as their own, and the dead soldiers no longer had the previous disdain in their eyes, but were full of solemnity, and for a while they no longer dared to attack without authorization.
"Xu An, listen to the order!" Gao Deng saw that the bandits seemed to be timid and shouted softly.
When Xu An heard the general's call, he immediately pushed away the corps commander who was bandaging the stab wound on his ribs, stepped forward quickly, knelt down on one knee and said, "The general is here."
"You lead a hundred men, take powerful crossbows and arrows, cover the infantry, and at the same time use crossbows to cut off the enemy's rear. Don't let anyone escape."
"The last general takes command!"
After Gao Deng finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at the guarded soldiers of Jindaomen not far away. These bandits had injured the lives of so many patrol soldiers and they could not let anyone go. He immediately shouted: "Soldiers, listen to the order. "
At this moment, the morale of the patrol soldiers was so high that they transformed into another army. They swept away the previous decline and shouted in unison.
Even the snow on the surrounding mountains was frightened by the soldiers and fell one after another. As the winter wind swept by, it rolled up and flew across the two sides with a huge disparity in numbers. The situation in the field had suddenly changed.
The weak lambs waiting to be slaughtered suddenly transformed into a pack of wolves that smelled the fishy smell. As the patrolling soldiers stepped quickly, the formation was formed and divided into two rows.
"Wai!"
The man holding the sword was facing the enemy, and the man holding the saber retreated slightly, standing sideways, forming a formation. As the fat-headed general not far behind him shouted angrily, the two rows of soldiers moved forward and backward, facing different directions. Direction, toward the Golden Sword Gate the dead soldiers gathered around.
At this moment, there was a trace of panic in the eyes of the dead soldiers. They did not expect that the chaotic patrol soldiers would advance and retreat in an orderly manner in a short time. If they wanted to leave at this time, it was too late and they could only Watching helplessly, the patrol soldiers surrounded more than 30 of our own people.
At the same time, more than a hundred soldiers led by Xu An also took powerful crossbows, stretched their bows and set arrows, and the arrow tips were pointing to the dead men in the circle.
Although these dead soldiers were not soldiers who had experienced war, they were all people who had been fighting in the rivers and lakes for several years. The momentum of the patrol soldiers in front of them suddenly changed. When they reacted, they were trapped in the formation and temporarily panicked. , but not too timid.
"Brothers, sheep are sheep. Even if that bird general returns to the battle, so what? Don't forget how we slaughtered them just now." There seemed to be a leader among the crowd of dead soldiers at Jindaomen. Feeling timid, he hurriedly held his sword and shouted to boost the morale of the dead soldiers.
This move was indeed effective. As the man shouted, the timidity in the eyes of the dead soldiers suddenly disappeared, revealing a ruthless intention. However, they were frightened by the momentum of the soldiers and did not dare to move without permission for a while. Seeing that the encirclement had taken shape, the dead soldiers had no choice but to follow the formation of the patrol and surround them, with their backs against each other, and stay on guard.
The leader of the dead soldiers who spoke just now knew that if the situation continued like this, once the encircling formation of the patrol army shrank and the dead soldiers were unable to display their martial arts, they would become the dead souls of the patrol sabers.
He immediately turned back and shouted to the dead soldiers: "If you continue like this, you will die in the hands of these sheep sooner or later. Why don't you go in with me and kill the two generals, and you can still get rewards from the master of the gate when you return."
When the dead soldiers heard the words of reward, they immediately became energetic and raised their swords and howled.
All this had already fallen into the eyes of Gordon outside the formation. Seeing that the formation was complete, his face tightened and his small eyes shrank. He looked outside the formation and saw the corpses of more than a hundred patrol soldiers who had been killed by these bandits. He felt angry in his heart. Unable to hold back any longer, he pointed his long sword at the dead soldiers in the formation and shouted.
"Crossbow!"
Next to Gao Deng, Xu An had already led more than a hundred archers to draw their crossbows, waiting for the general's order.
The moment the order was issued, Xu An swung down the sabers in his hands at the same time, and the fully loaded crossbows immediately made a "bang, bang" bowstring sound. The crossbow arrows were cold and filled with hatred from his comrades, and they were fired at the dead bandits and soldiers in the circle.
The dead soldiers all waved their swords to protect their bodies. Dozens of swords flashed together and swung down the crossbow arrows. Not everyone had the ability to withstand the powerful crossbows. After a round of volleys, several dead soldiers were killed by the crossbow arrows. The hedgehog died on the spot.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the leader of the dead soldiers secretly said, if this continues, without these infantrymen holding swords and swords coming forward, and there will be a few more rounds of arrow rain, no matter how high the martial arts level is, they will die of exhaustion... Looking towards Behind the cluster of swords, the figure of the plump general brandished his sword and shouted.
The reason why the patrol army is completely different from before is because the generals of the whole army seem to want to complete what Elder Xu told them... It is the best choice to capture the thief first and capture the king first. With a roll of his eyes, he died to everyone The scholar shouted.
"Help me."
When the words fell, they were already jumping up. When the dead soldiers heard the words, they immediately knew the intention of the leading dead soldier. Three people already turned over, put away their swords and drew their palms. Only for a moment, the figure of the leading dead soldier fell, and the three people's palms It was being handed to the soles of his feet.
The leading dead soldier mobilized his internal strength and borrowed the palm power of the three men to immediately rise into the air. With this vertical movement, he went straight over the formation of patrolling soldiers below.
Seeing some of the dead soldiers leaping towards them, and knowing that the martial arts of these people in the world could not be resisted, Xu An behind Gao Deng pointed his sword at the people leaping in the air, and shouted at the crossbowmen: "Quick, general Shoot this guy down!"
The soldiers who were about to take arrows no longer cared about the dead soldiers who were surrounded by the military formation, and shot at the people in the air one after another.
More than a hundred arrows rained down into a net, but the leader of the dead soldiers did not panic. He waved his sword to protect himself and broke through the net. Seeing the fat general below, he turned his sword quickly and used his internal strength to slash downwards. .
Seeing that this man was not afraid of crossbows, Xu An ignored the pain in the wound under his ribs and stepped forward to protect Gao Deng behind him. He knew that he was outmatched, but the formation could not be chaotic at this time. He gritted his teeth and raised his knife to resist this attack. A blow to the head.
The leading dead soldier did not take this stalwart general seriously. Although these two generals were good at leading troops, their own martial arts cultivation was weighing several kilograms. He knew it very well and sneered and said: "Huh, You don’t know what you can do.”
Just as he was about to reach his hand, the leader of the dead soldiers suddenly felt the sound of his clothes breaking through the air, and sounded beside him. The arrow was already on the string and he had to fire it. He didn't care about anything else. He first took the life of the general below before making any plans.
Using a single sword in his hand, he used his internal strength to chop it down... What came to his palm was not the feeling of the knife cutting into the bone, but the feeling of gold touching something tough.
The moment he landed, the sound of the blade breaking reached the ears of the leader of the dead soldiers. His eyes moved slightly, and he found that the single sword in his hand had been severed from the middle. He was shocked. The figure on the ground kept stopping, bending and jumping back, turning his head to avoid the soldiers behind him. He turned around and slashed the broken saber away, killing two soldiers immediately.
But as soon as he took a breath, he felt the force of a long sword coming from behind him to break through the air. He put away the sword and turned around, standing in front of the sword to block the sharp sound coming from behind.
What the leading soldier saw was a glimmer of moonlight, and he couldn't help but wonder. Although the sky was calm and snowy, the bright moon was still obscured by dark clouds. Where did the moonlight come from? Years of fighting in the rivers and lakes allowed the leading soldier to smell the moonlight. When he sensed danger, he quickly raised his head to dodge.
It was his keen sense of smell that saved the life of the leading dead soldier. When he looked up, the moonlight had already passed by his eyes, and the broken knife in his hand made a cracking sound again. The strong internal force condensed in the moonlight not only cut off the broken knife again, , and even broke the sword in the hand of the leading dead soldier and sent it flying away.
The dead soldier turned over repeatedly and jumped more than ten feet away before he stopped. He ignored the patrolling soldiers who were approaching him. He raised his eyes and looked at the moonlight where he had just cut off the single sword in his hand. Only then could he see clearly. , where the moonlight that cut off the single sword in his hand was clearly a long sword condensed with moonlight.
The man holding the sword is a young baker with a black face, but at this moment he has no armor on his body. His green shirt rustles in the winter wind, and the eyes on his black cheeks are shining like stars, matching the The long sword in his hand looks like the moonlight, just like the stars and the moon in the night sky, making people yearn for it.
In just a moment, the starlight in the black-faced young man's eyes turned into murderous intent, approaching him. The leading dead man knew that this young man had murderous intent, and even more so with his Qinggong ability to catch up with him and the ability to cut off the long knife in his hand. , not to mention that he was alone, even if the dead soldiers surrounded by the military formation all attacked, they were no match for him.
He immediately calmed down, moved his cuff slightly, and an elixir instantly slipped from his palm. Before the opponent arrived, he quickly stuffed it into his mouth, pinched two fingers, and whistled at the remaining dead soldiers who were besieged in the military formation.
In the military formation at this moment, a group of dead soldiers who were on guard with swords heard the sound of whistles, and immediately their eyes became solemn, shaking their sleeves, and like the leading dead soldier, they threw the elixir hidden in their sleeves into their mouths.
It was Gu Xiao who rescued Gao Deng and Xu An. The self-luck palm wind sent Gao and Xu among the patrolling sergeants. Gu Xiao was not in a hurry to follow him, but turned around and went to where he had buried the broken sword. The place of the moon.
When the general found the sword box and took off his cumbersome armor, he saw the leading dead soldier using the palms of the three men to cross the siege of the army and attack Generals Gao and Xu. Gu Xiao quickly clapped the sword box and followed. The Broken Moon Sword came out, and Lian Yun flew away through the snowy clouds. Finally, he cut down the dead man with his long sword and drew out his sword to save the two of them.
At this moment, Gu Xiao had no time to wipe off the dust from the pot on his face when he saw the dead soldiers stuffing the elixir into the entrance. He looked sideways and saw that the dead soldiers in the military formation were also in the same posture, and he couldn't help being secretly shocked.
Gu Xiao only said that if these dead soldiers took the elixir, they would explode and die like the evil men before. He hurriedly turned back to Gao and Xu to drink it.
"Let everyone retreat quickly. If this elixir enters the body, it will not be long before the body explodes and dies."
Hearing the young man say that he was killed by the explosion, although they didn't know how powerful it was, Gao and Xu firmly believed in their savior's words and hurriedly shouted to the soldiers to stop gathering their troops and retreat quickly.
The leading dead soldier saw the sergeant beside him suddenly retreating, and wondered in his heart: "Do they also know the power of the realm-breaking pill?"
How did Gu Xiao know that what this dead soldier was taking was the real Realm Breaking Pill? Wang Yan accompanied Wang Heng to select the men to go north one by one in order for his son to go north without any risk. These dead soldiers were all loyal to the Golden Knife Sect. Not afraid of death, on the day before leaving, he gave each of these dead soldiers a realm-breaking pill to protect his son in times of crisis...
Protecting Gao and Xu, he retreated slightly. Gu Xiao poured his true energy into Duanyue, guarding against the opponent's death. However, after waiting for a moment, he saw that the dead man only closed his eyes slightly and stood there. On the ground, there was no sign of exploding to death like the previous few people. On the contrary, the aura around him gradually increased...
Gu Xiao stared at the dead man with his starry eyes, and suddenly he felt that this scene looked familiar. When he prevented Lingzhou from intercepting and killing Lord Wan, the traitor of the Momen, the Chi Qianbian, also used it when he brought out the Zhi Tian Yijian that was left behind by the Broken Moon. The aura around his body seemed to be rising. Before he was pulled into the illusion by Mo Ren, he still vaguely remembered that Chi Qianren used a pill, the realm-breaking robot, to attack him...
"This elixir..."
Muttering to himself, Gu Xiao suddenly realized something. He looked sideways and saw that all the dead soldiers in the military formation were like the leader, and their aura could not help rising.
Some people died, but not completely...
