The sun was slightly to the west, but it was not scorching, and there was no wind, which caused the smoke and dust to fall as soon as it rose. It was precisely because of this that many details in the open space in front of the camp were clearly visible.
Even the soldiers and horses of Dongdu who were watching the battle across the river were able to watch the excitement.
According to the previous response from the Deposed Dragon Army, Xu Shiying, the general of the Deposed Dragon Army, is fighting this time. Xu Shiying's status in the Deposed Dragon Gang is beyond doubt. As one of the three generals of the Deposed Dragon Gang, he has been stationed in Baima all year round. He took control of Dongjun and faced the Eastern Capital. Later, when someone became the chief, he was established in authority. When he came to Hebei, he still served as the de facto military assistant and deputy general of the army.
Such a person actually came out to fight in a duel. This little plan before the battle was too successful!
Under the banner with the word "white", the British Duke Bai Hengqiu didn't even look at the headquarters army who took the opportunity to form a team. He just leaned under the banner and stared at the deposed Dragon Army general who was fighting in front. His eyes were obviously a little...unpleasant. untie.
"Is this person Xu Shiying?" Bai Hengqiu suddenly looked back and asked.
"This shouldn't be fake, right?" Sun Shunde, a trusted general on the side, asked in surprise. "Could it be that the Deposed Dragon Gang sent a fake person to die?"
"Could it be Xu Shiren pretending?" Bai Hengqiu asked, but he immediately rejected it. "No, I remember Xu Shiren is Duanjiang Qi, this person is Changsheng Qi..."
"Then it should be Xu Shiying." Dou Qi answered seriously. "The Deposed Dragon Gang has many masters of condensing pills. There are very few who practice Immortal Qi. When the Deposed Dragon Gang started the uprising, Xu Shiying killed my nephew. It was probably because there was a sign of condensing pills, so the Immortal Qi was revealed. very clear."
Bai Hengqiu was slightly startled: "You said he just condensed the pill three and a half years ago?"
"Yes." Dou Qi was a little uneasy. "Mr. Bai, is there anything wrong?"
Bai Hengqiu looked ahead, his expression neither happy nor angry: "There is nothing wrong with him. After all, he is the core member of the deposed Dragon Thief. He is considered one of the most handsome men in the world. It is not surprising that he has reached the level of Grandmaster Wang Wang in just three years."
The general Zuo around him was slightly startled, and everyone was shocked.
Dou Qi came to his senses and immediately requested: "Mr. Bai, the thief cheated and specially selected a Chengdan master to boost morale. Just let Sun Duwei come back! This will avoid being misunderstood by everyone after the defeat and losing the morale of the army."
"That's right." Sun Shunde responded solemnly. "Mr. Bai, I'm not showing favoritism. Firstly, the thief did cheat and took a Chengdan person to join the Ningdan game. Secondly, after all, this guy just married your second mother-in-law a year ago. If Wan Once it’s gone, it’s hard to explain.”
"So what?" Bai Hengqiu sneered when he heard this. "We must have sent people to challenge. What's the difference between withdrawing and losing? If you say he is Cheng Dan, he is Cheng Dan? Cheng Dan and Ning Dan, it seems that no one has done it before in the past?"
The two generals each looked down.
"Besides, it only takes about half an hour to assemble the army. If he is slaughtered in less than half an hour and cannot escape, then my brother will despise such a person if he becomes Er Niang's son-in-law." Bai Hengqiu He continued speaking coldly. "You're really dead. Just find another Sun descendant and send it to my brother."
Sun Shunde and Dou Qi looked at each other and said nothing.
After Bai Hengqiu shut up, he slowly became serious, and even breathed a little heavily - without him, even Xu Shiying, the core of the deposed Dragon Army, had some kind of misalignment of intelligence knowledge, so there is no doubt that both himself and the Taiyuan Army Some underestimate the strength of the Dragon Army.
On the other side, Sun Jia, the general of the Taiyuan Army who was appointed as the captain of the Shangdang Army, had no idea what was happening under the commander's command behind him. He was overjoyed when he saw the rebel general arriving.
"Your Excellency, is this Xu Shiying?" Sun Jia couldn't help but ask jokingly when he saw that the other party was a little silent and his body-protecting Qi was obvious. It was the longevity Qi that was not good at fighting.
Xu Dalang, who was fully clothed, seemed to be in a bad mood, and just nodded on the yellow horse lent to him by Zhang Xing.
"My name is Sun Jia." Bai's son-in-law, who had just been married for a few months, came to greet him proudly. "Born from the Sun family in the North."
When Xu Dalang heard the words, he just nodded again and did not take the initiative to speak, but his attention was obviously increased. It was as if he was in a battle of life and death, and he had to take it seriously no matter how reluctant he was.
"Xu Shiying, that day in Dongjun, you killed my cousin Dou Bing. Today I will
Revenge him! ” Sun Jia’s voice became louder and louder.
Xu Dalang was stunned for a moment, and seemed to have thought of the relevant matters, but finally said: "Is it Captain Dou Bingdou? The husband of Bai Erniang who had his hair shaved off?"
"Exactly!" Sun Jiaben was already ready to take action, but was stunned when he received the response, and could only respond. "I also want to avenge Erniang!"
"I served as a county official in Dongjun for one year. To be fair, Captain Dou is not a bad person." Xu Dalang thought thoughtfully.
"It's natural. He is a loyal official, and you are a thief who commits trouble!" Sun Jia became even more happy after hearing this. "Since you know how to be submissive, why don't you surrender early? I will ask for your life in front of the British public!"
"Your Excellency, you have misunderstood." Xu Dalang looked at the other party and spoke seriously. "I have been a thief since I was a child, and I have killed countless people...most of them were gangsters, and they are by no means innocent. I only killed them mostly for the sake of power and gain. So when I grew up, I was often ashamed of it; as for your cousin, although he was not a bad person, killing him was the most enjoyable killing in my life, Xu Shiying, and the one I was most proud of, so that At that time, I condensed the elixir and went to the temple to practice."
Sun Jia was at a loss for a moment, but when he heard the last sentence, his heart moved and he couldn't help but secretly cheer up. He waved the Phoenix Mouth knife in his hand and laughed loudly: "Don't misunderstand me. If you don't want to surrender, you will have no choice but to die! Let's follow the rules. Just fight on the ground on horseback, and whoever jumps to avoid it first will lose, is that okay or not?"
"Okay!" Xu Dalang responded and held the spear in front of him.
Sun Jia was overjoyed and immediately came over, his body-protecting Qi released, as if he was covered with another layer of blanched golden armor. The Phoenix Mouth Knife was also covered with a layer of blanched gold, and there was a faint enlargement and extension of the solidified Qi on the blade. forming.
Obviously, this is Duanjiang Zhenqi, second only to Sanhui Zhenqi in number in the Wei army.
And Xu Dalang, who used the most immortal energy among the people, did not hesitate and stepped forward on horseback.
As soon as the two sides exchanged horses, Sun Jia became even more excited, because he clearly realized that the opponent's strength seemed to be inferior to his own, and his cultivation was in line with an ordinary master who had been concentrating for three years, plus the opponent's deceptive immortality in the battle formation. I'm so angry, my chances of winning are indeed greater.
Let's say that at this time, the weather was clear and clear, and the surroundings were empty. The two generals were coming and going, imitating the ancient heroes fighting in the formation, only doing kung fu on their horses. The soldiers around and the generals in the distance were also shaking their heads, whispering, and trying to see. Clearer, more accurate hearing. But more than ten minutes later, just when these onlookers thought it was wonderful, Sun Jia in the battle formation had already noticed that the opponent was gradually losing strength, and he became more and more excited.
"when!"
In the fifteenth round, there was another vigorous exchange of weapons in the air. Both sides galloped past each other. When Captain Sun Jiasun reined in his horse and turned around, he saw that the other party was obviously struggling to turn around and had not yet completed the preparations for charging. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. Hurry forward and try to take advantage of this.
Xu Shiying on the opposite side seemed to be aware of his predicament, but he simply stopped turning forcefully. Instead, he waited for the opponent to get closer, reined in his horse, and blocked the opponent's way with his gun.
Sun Jia secretly called the opponent cunning, without any fear, he also slowed down and stopped his horse, and at the same time waved his sword to swing the opponent's spear. This was to stop the opponent's horse and compete with each other's strength, skills, and energy.
As soon as the weapons of the two sides were connected, they immediately stuck together, and both of them tried their best to use their strength and energy, preparing to decide the outcome.
The onlookers took the opportunity to see the confrontation clearly and cheered up.
However, the situation developed next, far beyond everyone's imagination. The weapons of both sides could only connect for four or five breaths. Just after the two sides exerted their strength, Sun Jia suddenly noticed something was wrong in his field of vision. There seemed to be a group of green light moving, and he gritted his teeth. When I went to look, the green light had actually reached the opponent's weapon... It turned out that it was just the opponent's immortality energy that surged out of his shoulders, whirled around in the air like an entity, and then flowed from his shoulders along the weapon.
I had just prepared myself to welcome the infuriating energy from the opponent's weapon. Unexpectedly, the infuriating energy spiraled along the spear. When it came to the place where the two sides' weapons and infuriating energy were dueling, it did not simply turn into the iron spear. Instead, the green light looked like a living creature, raising its head, crossing the intersection of true energy, and circling around.
With his own weapons, he came towards himself.
Moreover, as the true energy got closer and closer, it also became faster and faster. Then, it hovered slightly above the weapon between the two people, and suddenly turned into a giant green python, with full teeth and ferocious head and horns, and then headed straight towards He opened his green mouth.
This situation was truly bizarre. Captain Sun was shocked for a moment, and quickly put away his weapons and tried to escape.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he relieved himself of his strength, the giant python instantly jumped up, pounced on the ground like it was hunting for prey, and then quickly climbed up his arm.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Sun Jia felt that the energy was like a real living giant python. It did not penetrate into his body-protecting energy, but instead circled around the outside, strangling him completely in an instant.
Just like an ordinary person being coiled by a giant python.
Not to mention, Sun Jia tried to escape as the giant python got on top of him, but unexpectedly, the zhenqi circled around his arms and suddenly opened his mouth like a real python or dragon, and pressed hard on his right shoulder. In an instant, he felt The right shoulder feels so heavy that it is difficult to exert full strength.
But Xu Shiying was not in a hurry or slow down throughout the whole process, he just didn't show mercy when he got the upper hand. He would press on the opponent when he released his strength. If the opponent fled, he would release the giant green python to wrap it up and bite him. What's even more frightening is that after the sneak attack was successful, for a moment, Then another giant python with thick arms sprang out from the rich immortality energy in his waist and circled towards the opponent's waist.
Then, there are the third, fourth, and fifth items.
Sun Jia had already been completely panicked. He didn't know that he had fallen into the opponent's plan, so he started yelling early. The soldiers watching on both sides also realized that the battle situation had changed, and they all became uproar.
It should be noted that these zhenqi patterns were very popular in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the Trinity Orthodox Church had not yet unified the world, and many sects still existed. They liked to name, classify, and establish moves for the zhenqi patterns. There were many battlefield rules and more literary practices. many. However, since Tang Nandu, the world has been in melee for hundreds of years, and everyone has gradually understood that the rules, tricks, and moves are just the combination of true energy and the human body, and there is no special effect just because of the moves you perform. Gradually, no one cares about these anymore, and pays more attention to reality, which is just to mix the true energy with one knife after another, one armor upon another.
Therefore, when everyone saw this scene, they only felt confused. Some people who were not knowledgeable even thought that Xu Shiying was already a master. However, the real masters knew that this was just Xu Shiying's amazing mastery of Qi. -The distance that should exist within the Chengdan realm is just a matter of completing the exquisite and powerful control of the true energy.
Of course, there is no room for redundant thinking on the battlefield.
In fact, Xu Shiying used a flaw and suddenly released the vital energy like a living thing. In just the blink of an eye, he had already restrained the opponent. Later, when many giant pythons of true energy appeared on the plate, wrapping the opponent in a net, Sun Jia had already lost the ability to resist.
Immediately, after the onlookers on both sides realized what had happened, Xu Shiying did not hesitate, shot away the opponent's long knife, and then stabbed the opponent's ribs. With a wailing sound, he did not hesitate to use the rope of Zhenqi to pull him away. Follow the other party to the Deposed Dragon Army camp.
Seeing this situation, the sergeants on both sides shouted in unison, and the two Taiyuan frontline generals immediately rode out with their true energy blooming, as if they wanted to snatch back the Bai family's son-in-law. However, at this moment, the Qilong military camp opposite On the high platform of the village, an arrow suddenly flew over, wrapped in Duanjiang Zhenqi, and shot straight towards one of them like a golden spear.
The man was frightened for a moment, and immediately jumped up on his horse and flew back.
The war horse was still moving forward, but was hit in the waist by the giant Zhenqi arrow with a thick arm. The war horse let out a wail, and a large hole was penetrated in its abdomen on the spot. Blood splattered in its internal organs, and it could no longer get up.
Not to mention this, one arrow landed, and another flew forward, hitting the Taiyuan Army general who was still in the air.
The two sides collided, and the general was knocked to the ground, wailing repeatedly, and could not get up again... The surrounding sergeants were shocked.
However, the middle and senior leaders of the Taiyuan Army are descendants of the Guanlong and Jin Dynasties, and their basic military quality is excellent. On one side, a group of sergeants dragged the injured general into the formation, and on the other side, large shields were stacked forward... What's more, , instead of retreating, another general in front turned around and shouted, ordering the troops to move forward, charge together, and take advantage of the situation to enter the camp.
But at this moment, the sound of ringing gold came from a few hundred steps behind, and then with the third arrow of the Deposed Dragon Army, the Taiyuan Army retreated like a tide.
"Is it Xu Shiren who shoots arrows?" Dou Qi asked in confusion amid the sound of gold. Obviously, after experiencing Xu Shiying's performance, he was obviously a little unconfident.
"It should be." Sun Shunde also felt guilty.
"It's not Xu Shiren." Bai Hengqiu replied coldly. "Xu Shiren's strength is slightly stronger than this person's, but his accuracy is just a little bit worse."
"It's Wang Shuyong." Dou Qi thought for a moment and answered.
"It must be." Bai Hengqiu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him. "The Deposed Dragon Gang really is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger."
Dou Qi, on the other hand, calmed down and took it seriously: "It's not that the Deposed Dragon Gang is strong or not, but that we misjudged it and thought they were not that strong... so we suffered a loss, and I'm afraid there will be more... Suffer a loss."
Bai Hengqiu nodded seriously, and replied confidently: "It is precisely because of this that we must defeat him at all costs! Even if we suffer some losses, we must defeat him! Otherwise, the future may not be easy to decide! "
The surrounding generals almost nodded together.
Bai Hengqiu simply stood up and gave stern instructions: "The formation will last only a quarter of an hour. You all should go down separately. General Liu has already led the rear army to the flanks. General Sun will now go to the front army to take charge of the first three battalions. General Dou will stay." Here, I will take charge of the formation. Once there is a battle, I will observe the enemy's formation. If the large formation cannot be raised, I will supervise the whole army to attack. If the large formation rises, General Dou will be the base of the formation and I will be the eye of the formation. I will move forward personally. , end this war and avoid future troubles!"
All the generals responded in awe, and then returned to their positions according to the arrangements.
As soon as everyone left, a messenger hurriedly arrived: "Report to the Duke, the envoy sent by Duke Huaitong has arrived."
"Let him go back to camp. The war is about to start. I don't have time to see him." Bai Hengqiu blurted out.
Then, he instinctively looked towards the river in the northeast direction. Sure enough, after a moment, a servant with clear peripheral vision arrived: "Greetings to my lord, General Qutu asks for an audience."
Bai Hengqiu frowned slightly and wanted to refuse, but in the end he nodded: "Let him come over quickly."
On the other side, in the center of the Plum Blossom Petal Camp of the Deposed Dragon Army, on the general platform that was hastily photographed with zhenqi, Zhang Xing also issued the final order, and the few generals who stayed here also returned to their respective positions... On the huge general stage, only Xiong Bonan, Cui Suchen, Wang Xiongdan, and a few guards and preparation generals were left.
Maybe the last half-quarter of an hour was a bit difficult. After the people left, Xiong Bonan couldn't help but point to the head in front of him and asked: "I don't even know Xu Dalang's cultivation level. Why does the chief know?"
Zhang Xing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and answered: "Guessed!"
On the other side, Bai Hengqiu also changed his color slightly: "Fulong Seal? Are you sure?"
"Guessed." Qutuda came to the conclusion seriously. "It's just a guess. I fought with Wu Jingfeng the day before yesterday, and it suddenly occurred to me... Wu Jingfeng did not come directly from Henan, but appeared with Chong He Taoist... And the Deposed Dragon Gang must be so calm. Therefore, I thought that in addition to being outstanding in strength and preparing to form a formation, I must have a back-up plan to target the Grand Master."
"How could such a coincidence happen?" Bai Hengqiu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, and slowly drew his sword and pointed forward. "Besides, the situation at this time is like an arrow on the string, and we have to shoot!"
Qu Tuda turned to look and saw that the 30,000 Taiyuan elite of the Tenth Battalion had been well arranged, with numerous banners and dazzling armor, which was in sharp contrast to the almost silent gray Deposed Dragon Gang camp.
He couldn't help but sigh.
And at this time, the slightly dull words of the British Duke Bai Hengqiu came to my ears:
"Give me the order, let's start the war!"
The next moment, as the military orders were conveyed from level to level, the 30,000-strong army suddenly stirred up, like turbulent waves, rolling around the fields and bringing up countless storms and dust.
"Let's get started! You have to give it a try first and say hello!"
After noticing the movements of the Taiyuan Army on the opposite side, Zhang Xing glanced at Xiong Bonan, said only one sentence, then took off the scabbard-shocked Dragon Sword from behind, pushed aside the layers of wrapping, and then rolled the Zhenqi general. The sword plunged hard into the ground.
At the same time, the deposed
Countless gray-white zhenqi escaped from the side of the chief of the Dragon Gang, so that the entire surrounding general platform instantly became cold, and even frost flowers faintly appeared and mist formed.
Obviously, this effect was not caused by the air, but that Zhang Xing poured almost all of his true energy into the ground along the unsheathed sword, and then spread along the ground.
Seeing this shape, under the stage, Wang Xiongdan and others who had received the military order also used their true energy. Looking from a distance, it seemed as if a lamp was lit, and colorful lights suddenly lit up. However, the lights only lit up for a moment. , then disappeared immediately, replaced by a gray-white uniform light spot.
Not only that, once the light spot changes color, the frozen ground will instantly spread to the surrounding area.
In this way, first around the general platform, then at various tents in the Chinese military camp, then at specific sentry posts on the periphery, and then along specific routes, the frozen phenomenon spread all the way, and the light spots changed colors all the way.
It was clearly afternoon, but just like the countless lights lit in Wenroufang at night, they were connected into a piece and formed a scenery of their own. It also seemed like someone was using true energy to paint, trying to draw a huge plum blossom on the ground along the camp.
But soon, the process of changing the color of the light spot was interrupted on the road leading from the Chinese army camp to several surrounding camps.
Zhang Xing was silent for a while, then prepared to move in several directions and concentrate on connecting several camps to the south and west. But at this moment, Xiong Bonan suddenly stood up and held the red flag with the word "Deposed" in his hand on the general stage. Then the purple air filled the air, and with just one effort, it suddenly turned into a gray background. Then taking this opportunity, the underground zhenqi veins suddenly flashed, like underground trickles affected by the tide, forcefully rising in all directions.
Seeing this shape, Cui Suchen and other cultivators on the general stage did not hesitate, and just dodged and filled themselves into the formation.
A moment later, this underground tide surged to the center of the camp on the surrounding petals almost simultaneously, instantly connecting with the centers of several generals' camps. Then, in all directions, the entire Deposed Dragon Gang camp seemed to be one, and flowers bloomed immediately. .
The soldiers at the front were already engaged in battle. Bai Hengqiu looked at this scene from a distance, his face ashen.
At the same time, Zhang Xing, who had successfully formed the formation, was also livid, because it was not easy for him to support this large formation, and once the formation was completed, his perception increased more than tenfold, and the great master's " "Weight" he also noticed.
Later, it is really hard to decide whether I can be a target of this person.
Just when the formation had just been formed, and the coaches of both sides were facing each other at a distance that they could not see at all, but could clearly feel with their true energy, suddenly, there was a huge roar in the sky due to the north, as if a bolt from the blue.
It was a real thunderbolt from the blue. The sound was so loud that everyone heard it with their own ears, but looking around, the north was completely empty.
And the clouds over the camp of the Dragon Gang could not block the afternoon sun at all, so where could the thunderbolt come from?
If such a strange thing was normal, I don't know how many people would speculate and discuss it, but at this time, in this place, it just made everyone stunned for a few breaths.
In fact, this strange sound was like a unified military horn order. A moment later, the Taiyuan Army formed a dense military formation with more than twice the strength. Under the leadership of countless generals and masters from Guanlong and Jindi, Massive attack on the stronghold!
Bai Hengqiu did not hesitate, and an unimaginably huge glow of true energy bloomed on the platform. His true energy was the three colors of gold, silver and red intermingled, rising out of thin air, but standing horizontally and vertically. Flying in the air.
In a moment, a huge thing that looked like a chessboard or a net appeared in the sky above the Taiyuan Army, and quickly connected with the generals and officers below who were blooming with true energy.
As soon as they were connected, they were in the same situation as the opposite side. The chessboard or net swelled in the wind and continued to spread in the air.
By this time, the two sides had just fought, but the sky that had been calm all morning had disappeared, replaced by frosty wind and clouds, and the scorching sun and thunderbolts.
Looking at it, it feels like gods are fighting.
