September 9, Double Ninth Night.
The moon is full at night.
The full moon looks like a huge ball falling on the Genting Highlands.
Under the bright moonlight, Genting Plateau is as white as day.
It was already past midnight, and as the night deepened, the clouds became thicker and thicker than an average person's knee.
Normally, Genting Highlands at this time would be covered in snow, like a fairyland in the cold winter.
But at this moment, the plateau is still filled with cries of killing, the sound of metal and iron, mixed with howls, screams, the sound of horse hooves and the roar of bears.
There are shadows of people and horses on the clouds, and a single bear stands tall among the clouds like a flock of chickens.
As the clouds surged, broken corpses and remains of humans and horses could be seen everywhere.
Because of this, under the moonlight, there are crimson hazes in the blue-white clouds, making them look particularly strange and strange.
Under the cloud cover, where the eyes can't see, streams and rivers of blood spread from high to low, covering the pieces of shale with a layer of blood.
With the addition of thousands of riders from the Twelve Heavenly Evil Sects and Zangfeng Pavilion a few hours ago, Genting Plateau has completely turned into a blood-stained battlefield!
After all, this situation exceeded Tong Chong's expectations.
Tong Chong firmly believes that there is no one in the world who can do everything. The so-called resourcefulness and foresight are all based on a timely and efficient intelligence network.
Therefore, even if Xiao Yincai's plan was recognized by many of their sect leaders, the troops who occupied Genting Plateau in advance were in danger. If Tong Chong had not felt that the risk was controllable, he would never have taken on the important task and put himself in such a dangerous position.
After all, if you lose your life, no matter how much glory and wealth you have, it may not be enough to nourish the grass on your grave.
Tong Chong knew in advance that the imperial court had just experienced a great disaster and was reborn. The functional departments of the government were still in the process of adjusting and adapting, and it was difficult to exert their full effectiveness. With limited attention, he could only keep an eye on the front lines of various border areas and be ready at all times. At a time when they are trying to mobilize supplies and troops from various places but dare not mobilize local troops at will.
It was also understood that most of the Zhongzhou Jianghu had just engaged in a desperate battle overtly and covertly in the battle of Youjing, and most of the gangs that had re-recognized and were close to the imperial court were still waiting to rest.
Regardless of whether it is Tingyu Pavilion, Daoyi League, Hongchen Inn, which proactively and voluntarily worked for the war, or the Beibei League, Riyuebao and other gangs that directly tied up with the imperial army to fight against the barbarians from all directions, the manpower should be stretched thin and they have no time to take care of it. Yunding is a place far away and high in the mountains.
Reluctantly deploying people and horses for emergency response will only lead to the situation in the storybook where the gourd baby saves the grandfather and rushes to his death one after another.
In addition, Xiao Yincai kindly reinforced hundreds of horses, weapons and Zangfeng Pavilion experts led by Yu Le to prepare for the emergency.
Only then did Tong Chong take on the dangerous job of going deep behind enemy lines.
It is true that Xiao Yincai's plan quickly caught a fish as big as the entire Qingtian clan, but Tong Chong still felt extremely aggrieved.
Because even though Qingtianzhong, a big fish, was stabbed and bruised all over, he could still gather enough energy to flap.
There were not many other big fish attracted by the smell of blood.
Including the bear, there are only five of them.
But these big fish were about to break their fishing lines and shatter their teeth!
Except that Piaoying's body and posture looked normal, he could use weapons, was weak in strength, and showed signs of fatigue, he looked like the reincarnation of Tu Wanfang!
When the thousands of cavalrymen first met Piaoying, there was no enemy at all.
Even though the Tongshamen cavalry are protected by armor, when Piaoying's dagger falls on their chests, their breastplates will be torn open, their sternums will be crushed, and their hearts will be squeezed or pierced!
Piaoying's dagger stabbed their heads, and their helmeted skulls would be opened, leaving bloody holes!
The energy drawn by Piaoying's dagger shot towards them. Not only was the life of the horse that sat down not only life-threatening, but also the whole body of the dead body. It was a good thing that they could save their hands, feet and heads and not move. Can they still use their limbs as usual, and can they continue? When it comes to breathing, it all depends on luck.
As for those Tibetan Feng Pavilion cavalry who were simply wearing animal skins, many times they could not survive the Piaoying dagger, and their arms and legs were removed, their bodies and torsos were cut off, and they were even cut in two, or simply blasted to pieces. The fog of corpse blood makes it difficult to see the human form!
It was clear that Piaoying was just one person rushing into the battle, but it seemed to have turned into a thousand troops, surrounding everyone!
Among the thousand cavalry, no fewer than two hundred died at the hands of Piao Ying!
As for the incomplete corpses on the Yunding battlefield today, I am afraid that 99% of them were thanks to him!
Not many members of Tongsha Sect and Zangfeng Pavilion present had participated in the battle of Shaolin in the south of Jiulian Mountain, but most of them had heard of the deeds of Tu Wanfang, the first warrior of Wala, who came back from the dead and massacred the knights of Zhongzhou Jianghu with his own hands.
In their imagination, Tu Wanfang, known as the living Yama, could only have such vicious methods.
Seeing that Piao Ying also has such abilities, and seeing each of his friends die in such miserable and gruesome ways, who can help but feel numb and trembling? !
Even though Tong Chong had experienced many battles and was well-informed, he couldn't help but feel shocked when he saw Yao Hong, the leader of the Baisha Sect, being split into two by Piao Ying at close range, with half of his body covered with blood and filth. I shivered and my eyelids twitched!
His brother, Yao Qing, the head of the Black Evil Sect, was unable to accept the death of his sister and was overly frightened. Several people from Qingtian took advantage of the situation and hacked him to death with random knives.
Everyone in Qingtian was able to withstand the impact of thousands of riders for several hours, and more than 20 people were still able to survive. At least half of the credit can be attributed to Piaoying.
If Tong Chong had not slowed down in time to take over the command and dispatch, allowing the heavily armed Tongshamen subordinates to give full play to their formation and numerical advantages to restrain Piaoying, the result would have been half the result and the fierce power greatly reduced. Otherwise, even if they were sitting close to Twenty times the enemy's manpower will be killed and the army will be broken into pieces and run away in all directions!
If everyone in Qingtian can survive today, the first one should burn incense for Piaoying, and the second one should be Si'er and Xiong Zhu.
At first, Tong Chong only thought that this combination of beauty and beast was novel and rare, but he did not take it seriously or take it seriously.
But after thousands of cavalry arrived, he discovered that the man and the bear were actually replica cavalry.
It’s just that the mount is a bear, not a horse, and one ride is worth a hundred!
I don’t know what kind of magic or witchcraft this Tingyuge beauty possesses, or whether she is a stranger who is born with the ability to communicate mentally with animals. Only then can she subdue the ferocious beasts that are inaccessible to humans. Let him command you like an arm.
Qianqi hadn't completely rushed to the camp. If Piaoying was fighting against the thorns and thorns, Na Si'er was driving the bear to act as a road blocker, almost blocking the path of Qianqi's cavalry.
Before the cavalry flowed into chaos, although Xiong Zhen was no longer able to hit every shot as accurately as before, the huge body of this strange beast was a complete deterrent to the opponent, especially the enemy's horse, just by blocking the road.
How many horses were able to charge bravely and arrogantly when faced with the approaching Piaoying, but when they were still three to four feet away from the bear, they already put down their horses in fear and turned around to leave, even if the riders tried their best. Pulling on the reins, the best result is to make them lean to the side and run away around the bear.
On the plateau, the power of the cavalry charge has been greatly reduced. When encountering such a behemoth blocking the road, not only does the extremely oppressive charge momentum disappear, but also due to the chaos of the formation, many more horses interact with each other. Internal damage caused by collision.
Among the thousands of cavalry, perhaps less than a hundred actually died at the hands of Xiong Zhen.
But precisely because of the presence of Si'er and Xiong Zhen, the thousand-man cavalry army was blocked from the final battlefield, delaying the opportunity for more than half an hour.
This more than half an hour is also the key to Qingtian and others being able to hold on till now.
And after these hours of fierce fighting, although Xiong Zhi was wounded and bloody, there were no twenty or thirty people to surround him. He still had the strength to tear open the defense line and trample his opponent who had also fought for a long time in a bloody manner under his palms!
Therefore, Tong Chong really had to regard this bear as a "fish".
Tong Chong was also complaining in his heart. He really didn't expect that an inhuman creature that was completely out of the plan would become a key factor affecting the plan. If he had known this, he should have taken the time to kill the bear after going up the mountain. Well, there won't be such a bizarre incident afterwards.
The other two "fish" are also in pairs.
If Tong Chong met them elsewhere, he might also meet Lie Xinxi.
But when he learned that these two people also appeared in Genting Highlands, he could only feel bitter.
These two "fish" are naturally Jiang Yichen and Leng Mei.
As one of the twelve Tiansha sect masters, Tong Chong's knowledge of the two men's situation is not limited to the rumors in recent years.
It is even more clear that a fledgling swordsman only stayed in the world for only two or three years. Without mentioning the number of people and people who died under his sword, let’s just say that he broke through the Tushita Gang, got involved with the Nether Sect, and was picked off. Passed through Disha Gate and Ziyexuan, escorted General Niu and his daughter to Lingnan safely, escaped from the pursuit of ghosts and enchantresses repeatedly, and took away Smiling Maitreya from the chaotic imperial city... Even if the above things are not based on It was all made possible by his own efforts, but Tong Chong couldn't dare to have any contempt for a killer who was so attentive to the tip of a knife.
And Leng Mei also became a killer at a young age. If it weren't for the internal discord in the Demon Palace, and his murderous deeds would be made public one by one, attracting frequent attention and taking off the cloak of mystery, otherwise he might not be the most successful. The killer.
After all, no one who is good at fighting has great achievements, and equally successful killers often have no one who knows their name, knows their appearance, or understands their past.
Jiang Yichen and Leng Meiying, like Si'er and Piaoying, arrived at the mountain earlier than Qingtian and his entourage, but they remained sneaky and dormant. They avoided the sight of the sentry and did not bump into each other. Therefore, they did not have time to fight. Say hello, and then they appeared one after another, so that when the Qingtian people were in danger, they couldn't come to the rescue at the same time.
However, this strange combination of circumstances put the two pairs of people at the head and tail of the thousands of cavalry.
Piao Ying and Si'er led Xiong Zan in the front and fought vigorously.
Jiang Yichen and Leng Mei secretly assassinated group after group of riders from behind.
By the time the cavalry at the rear was fully alert, half a hundred of them had fallen.
After a few hours, nearly two hundred cavalrymen died under the joint attack of the two killers.
What makes Tong Chong unbelievable is that the mentality of Yu Le, the new master of Zangfeng Pavilion, was somehow unbalanced by Jiang Yichen. Even if Yu Le can leave Yunding alive this time, his Taoist heart should be broken. He will not do some crooked ways in the future. If I don't follow the road, I'm afraid I will be completely decadent.
…
…
Jiang Yichen and Leng Mei rushed to the camp after hearing the roar of the bear.
But on the way, they discovered a thousand-man cavalry regiment quietly preparing to go.
The two of them passed by in a hurry, only noticing that the uniforms of the cavalry regiment were different, and did not go into detail about the identity and origin of these new troops.
Instead, they rushed to the camp as soon as possible to confirm the battle situation.
It was found out that the Qingtian people were fighting with the Tongsha, Heisha and Baisha sects of the twelve Tiansha sects. Piao Ying and Si'er were there to support them, and a huge bear was there to support the scene. The Qingtian people There should be no further large casualties.
Only then did he focus on dealing with the thousand-man cavalry regiment.
The two of them did not have the courage to stand alone, so they could only attack from behind to reduce the number of new troops.
Therefore, we chose to take a detour behind enemy lines to defeat them one by one.
However, no matter how fast the two of them were, they couldn't travel two or three miles back and forth in an instant. While they were making a detour, a thousand cavalrymen had already begun to march towards the barracks.
The sound was not loud at that time, but Jiang Yichen noticed it.
The two of them could only move closer to the path of the thousand cavalry.
It didn't take much effort to identify the composition of this thousand-man cavalry regiment.
The two of them were not too surprised that Zangfeng Pavilion and the Twelve Heavenly Evil Sects, who both defeated Youjing, joined forces, but they were worried that it would be difficult to deal with such two powerful forces after they combined.
Ever since, when he discovered that a person with both strength and leadership like Yu Le was among the soldiers, he started to murder him.
Because of the two people's impromptu move, Yu Le was killed by surprise and almost died.
Also because the two of them acted on the spur of the moment, Yu Le was able to escape with his life.
After Jiang Yichen missed the attack, he quickly left the battlefield with the help of Leng Mei's opening the door without wasting a moment.
And Yu Le did not intend to break away from the pursuit of the large army, so he got on another horse and continued to move forward.
One party is afraid that if they wait a little longer, they will fall into a tight siege. Not only will it be difficult to help the Qingtian people reduce their opponents, but their own lives will also be difficult to save.
The other side has not yet gotten over the humiliation and fear, and instinctively feels that leading people to chase the enemy will not only disrupt the plan, but also run great risks and face another crisis.
Therefore, the two parties made a tacit agreement not to disturb each other and pass by each other.
But not long later, when Yu Le was still riding forward, Jiang Yichen and Leng Mei had already played the role of "breaking the rear".
Decorated at the end of the cavalry regiment, the riders behind will fall behind unknowingly!
However, the number of thousands of people is really large, and the team is traveling at high speed. Jiang Yichen and Leng Mei have to keep up with the fast horses and not be left behind, and they can't make too much noise to provoke a group attack. Every time they kill one person, they have to spend thousands of dollars. Ten breaths of effort.
Later, in order to pursue speed, the enemy was reduced to as many men as possible, without even bothering to hide his body, leaving him exposed in the enemy's formation, and no longer able to carry out assassinations.
After several hours of fighting, Jiang Yichen finally understood why no matter how powerful a martial arts master was, he could hardly survive if he faced off against thousands of troops. After all, when manpower was limited, and when facing heavily armed soldiers, if he could not fight at all times, If you maintain sufficient physical strength, accurate shooting, and quick thinking, and are unable to kill your opponent with one blow, you will eventually be exhausted by the opponent's numbers and be crushed to death by the larger number of people.
But when he and Leng Mei tried to fight guerrillas with the extended front of Zangfeng Pavilion and Tongsha Sect by relying on the eight-door formation, Yu Le had come to his senses and came to settle the score with him!
Leng Mei was pushed away by two strong hands from Zangfeng Pavilion brought by Yu Le.
Yu Le wanted to have a fair fight between life and death with him.
On the one hand, Jiang Yichen was worried about the huge disparity in numbers between the enemy and ourselves, fearing that the longer it took, the more casualties the Qingtians would suffer. On the other hand, he was also afraid that the enemy's numbers were so large that Leng Mei, Si'er, and Piao Ying would suffer misfortune.
Unintentionally entangled with Yu Le, he tried to get rid of each other several times.
This unexpected move only angered Yu Le even more.
Yu Le's sword heart may be broken, but the strength and foundation he has been famous for for a long time are still there.
Being despised by Jiang Yichen again and again, Yu Le became more and more irritable and unable to control himself, and he used his sword more and more without sparing any effort.
Jiang Yichen was in danger for a while.
It was at this time, under the bright moon, that a majestic curse echoed across the vast and vast Yunding battlefield.
“Chili is a big head of garlic!
You cowards!
Yes, treason and seeking glory!
Yes, bully the few with more!
Friends from Qingtian and Tingyu Pavilion, hold on!
We, Huanyue Palace, are here... to do justice for the moon!
You scum of the Zangfeng Pavilion and the Twelve Heavenly Evil Sects, if you are still from Zhongzhou, surrender to me!
Surrender without killing! "
Under Yu Le's urgent offensive, Jiang Yichen didn't see a silver-white bolt flying across the sky, nor did he see the strange sword with three undulating sections coming out of its sheath.
He could only hear the intermittent and bitter laughter, but he already showed a reassuring smile.
